Here are four great events that offer wonderful experiences. The Great American Beer Festival (October) This 3-day event in Denver is held at the Colorado Convention Center. It attracts around 50,000 people each year. Over 800 American factories (酿酒厂) offer more than 4,000 kinds of beer, including famous ones like Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head. Visitors can eat food from local food trucks, such as handmade pretzels and delicious small hamburgers. You can also attend workshops to learn about the beer-making process or meet skilled brewers. Oktoberfest (啤酒节) Zinzinnati(September) This is America's biggest Oktoberfest outside Munich, and it takes place along the river in Cincinnati. It draws more than 800,000 people each year. Over 100 sellers offer German food and beer. There's a big 300-foot tent called Zinzinnati Festhalle that can hold more than 1,000 people, and features over 30 shows. Favorite traditions include the World's Largest Chicken Dance, the Running of the Wieners (a race with small dogs), and a mug-holding competition. The New Orleans Wine & Food Experience (June) This popular event in Louisiana is held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Each year, roughly 7,500 people come to it. You can try food and drinks from over 250 wineries and 75 local restaurants. They serve both traditional and innovative New Orleans dishes. Special activities include the Royal Street Stroll, where you taste wine in old shops in the French Quarter, and the Grand Tasting, where chefs show how to cook. Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival (February) This 4-day event in Miami Beach has over 400 sellers, offering things like special cheeses and handmade cocktails, and about 25,000 people attend it. It's held at the convention center, local restaurants, and tents on the beach. Famous chefs like Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay show how to cook and host special dinners. Special activities include Burger Bash hosted by Emeril Lagasse and the Grand Tasting Village with over 50 restaurants and 100 kinds of wine and drinks. 1. Where is The Great American Beer Festival held? A. Along the river in Cincinnati. B. On the beach in Miami Beach. C. At the Colorado Convention Center. D. At the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. 2. Which event attracts the largest number of attendees each year? A. Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. B. The Great American Beer Festival. C. The New Orleans Wine & Food Experience. D. Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. 3. What can visitors do at Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival? A. Take part in the Running of the Wieners. B. Watch chefs demonstrate cooking skills. C. Try small hamburgers from local food trucks. D. Taste wine in old shops in the French Quarter. B The city of Venice is famous for its canals, but it is facing a silent crisis beneath the water’s surface: the gradual sinking and tilting of its iconic buildings. While floods (acqua alta) grab headlines, a more persistent threat comes from the unstable foundation upon which Venice is built. Venice sits on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and mud of the lagoon. Over centuries,the weight of the buildings has caused compression. Furthermore, the extraction of groundwater from the mainland in the 20th century accelerated the sinking. Although that practice has stopped, natural geological processes, combined with rising sea levels, continue the downward trend. Scientists are using advanced technology like satellite radar to measure millimeter-scale movements. They’ve discovered that the city isn’t sinking uniformly. Some areas are more stable, while others, like the famous St. Mark’s Bell Tower, show a slight tilt. The preservation efforts are monumental and constant. The massive MOSE barrier system addresses flooding, but long-term stabilization requires ongoing, painstaking work to reinforce foundations and monitor shifts. The challenge for Venice is to preserve its historical authenticity while implementing modern engineering solutions. It’s a race against time and tide, a testament to human ingenuity in defending a city that was itself an audacious feat of engineering. 4. What is the main cause of Venice’s current sinking crisis mentioned in the text? A. Frequent and severe floods. B. The weight of modern tourism. C. The decay of ancient wooden foundations. D. Long-term geological processes and past human activity. 5. What can be inferred about the preservation of Venice? A. It involves a complex combination of traditional and modern methods. B. It is a simple task of repairing old buildings. C. The MOSE system has completely solved the sinking problem. D. Scientists believe the city will be safe within the next century. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The history of Venice’s construction. B. The scientific efforts to understand and address the problem. C. The comparison between different areas of Venice. D. The cost of preservation projects. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in the passage? A. Critically negative. B. Casually indifferent. C. Objectively concerned. D. Overly optimistic. C The concept of “food miles” — the distance food travels from farm to plate — has become a popular measure for environmentally conscious consumers. The logic seems simple: locally sourced food requires less transportation, thus generating fewer carbon emissions. However, a growing number of studies suggest that this focus on distance alone is an oversimplification and can sometimes be misleading. A key factor often overlooked is the mode of transport. Shipping a large volume of goods by sea or rail is remarkably efficient per item. For example, a study from the University of Sydney showed that shipping New Zealand apples to the UK could result in lower emissions per apple than buying UK apples stored for months in energy-intensive refrigerated facilities. Similarly, the production phase often has a much larger carbon footprint than transportation. Growing tomatoes in a local heated greenhouse in winter may use more energy than importing them from a country with a suitable climate. This doesn’t mean buying local is bad. It often supports the local economy and provides fresher produce. The point is that sustainability is complex. “Carbon footprint” is a more comprehensive metric, considering all emissions from production, processing, packaging, transport, and waste. Experts advise consumers to consider seasonal availability, farming methods (organic vs. conventional), and packaging in addition to distance. The most sustainable choice isn’t always the closest one; it’s about understanding the full lifecycle of our food. 8. What is the main argument of the passage regarding “food miles”? A. They are the most important factor in food sustainability. B. They are a useful but incomplete indicator of environmental impact. C. They should be the only criterion for consumers to choose food. D. They have no correlation with carbon emissions at all. 9. Why does the author mention New Zealand apples and UK apples? A. To criticize imported food. B. To praise the efficiency of sea transport. C. To illustrate that transportation mode and production conditions matter. D. To encourage people to eat more fruit. 10. What does the author suggest environmentally conscious consumers do? A. Always and only buy local food. B. Ignore food miles completely. C. Focus solely on whether food is organic. D. Adopt a more holistic view of food’s environmental impact. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Distance: A Deeper Look at Food’s Carbon Footprint B. Food Miles: A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem C. The Local Food Movement: A Complete Success D. The Disadvantages of Imported Food D The ability to read others' emotions is a cornerstone of social intelligence. Traditionally, this was thought to depend heavily on analyzing facial expressions. However, groundbreaking research is challenging this view, suggesting that context — the situation we see someone in-plays a far more dominant role than previously believed. In a series of influential experiments, psychologists showed participants pictures of people displaying strong emotions, but placed these faces in incongruent（不和谐的）contexts. For instance, they placed a face expressing what looked like fear in the context of a winning soccer match. Surprisingly, participants consistently interpreted the emotion based on the context (e.g., as overwhelmed joy) rather than the facial expression alone. The reverse was also true: a neutral face in a frightening situation was read as fearful. This "context superiority effect" indicates that our brain prioritizes the meaning of a whole scene when decoding emotion. We are not simply facial expression detectors; we are intuitive situation analysts. This makes evolutionary sense. Knowing why someone might be emotional (a charging bear vs. a surprise party) is more crucial for survival and appropriate response than just classifying the muscle movements on their face. These findings have significant implications. They question the over-reliance on facial recognition software to judge emotions in fields like security or marketing. They also help explain social misunderstandings, where people from different cultures might share similar facial expressions but interpret the same situation very differently. Emotion, it seems, is not just in the face of the beholder, but in the world that is beheld. 12. What is the traditional view about reading emotions? A. It relies mostly on body language. B. It is primarily based on analyzing situations. C. It depends heavily on understanding facial expressions. D It is an ability that cannot be learned or improved. 13. What did the experiments described in paragraph 2 find? A. Context can override（推翻）facial expressions in emotion judgment. B. People always believe facial expressions over context. C. Facial expressions are completely unreliable. D. It is impossible to judge emotion from photos. 14. What does the “context superiority effect” imply about human brain function? A. It processes faces and contexts separately. B. It gives priority to situational understanding when judging emotions. C. It is easily fooled by contradictory information. D. It is slow to integrate different types of information. 15. What is a potential practical implication of this research mentioned in the text? A. It validates（证实） the use of current emotion-recognition technology. B. It suggests we should ignore facial expressions entirely. C. It proves that all cultures interpret emotions identically. D. It cautions（警告）against over-trusting technology that reads emotions from faces alone. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make the Most of Your Morning Routine We’ve all heard that successful people often have morning routines.

My perspective changed one rainy Tuesday in a crowded coffee shop. I was working on my laptop when I noticed an elderly man at the next table. His hands trembled slightly as he tried to pour sugar into his cup. He ____21____ spilling a small pile onto the table.

While her parents and older brother thrived on social gatherings and lively debates, Ella found comfort in books and solitary walks in the woods behind their house. Her family, though loving, often joked about her being “in her own world.” Ella didn’t mind, but sometimes she wondered if they truly understood her. For her sixteenth birthday, Ella’s family surprised her with a gift she hadn’t asked for: a ticket to a popular three-day music festival. "You need to get out more, experience some real excitement!" her brother said, clapping her on the back. Ella’s heart sank. The thought of massive crowds, loud noise, and constant social interaction filled her with dread. But seeing their eager, expectant faces, she forced a smile and thanked them. The first day of the festival was overwhelming. The sea of people, the pounding music from multiple stages, the constant chatter — it was sensory overload for Ella. She felt disconnected and anxious, unable to enjoy herself as her family did, dancing and singing along. During a particularly loud performance, she quietly slipped away, seeking refuge at the quiet edge of the festival grounds near a small lake. Sitting on the grass, she took a deep breath, relieved by the relative quiet. That’s when she noticed an older man sitting under a tree, sketching in a notebook. He looked peaceful and absorbed in his work. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Curious, Ella moved closer and saw that he was drawing the scene around the lake. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they talked, Ella’s family found her, looking worried. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 邵东三中2025年下学期高二期末考试试卷 英语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．听力部分，所有录音材料将播放两遍。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.Where is the man?

While floods (acqua alta) grab headlines, a more persistent threat comes from the unstable foundation upon which Venice is built. Venice sits on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and mud of the lagoon. Over centuries,the weight of the buildings has caused compression. Furthermore, the extraction of groundwater from the mainland in the 20th century accelerated the sinking. Although that practice has stopped, natural geological processes, combined with rising sea levels, continue the downward trend. Scientists are using advanced technology like satellite radar to measure millimeter-scale movements. They’ve discovered that the city isn’t sinking uniformly. Some areas are more stable, while others, like the famous St. Mark’s Bell Tower, show a slight tilt. The preservation efforts are monumental and constant. The massive MOSE barrier system addresses flooding, but long-term stabilization requires ongoing, painstaking work to reinforce foundations and monitor shifts. The challenge for Venice is to preserve its historical authenticity while implementing modern engineering solutions. It’s a race against time and tide, a testament to human ingenuity in defending a city that was itself an audacious feat of engineering. 4. What is the main cause of Venice’s current sinking crisis mentioned in the text? A. Frequent and severe floods. B. The weight of modern tourism. C. The decay of ancient wooden foundations. D. Long-term geological processes and past human activity. 5. What can be inferred about the preservation of Venice? A It involves a complex combination of traditional and modern methods. B. It is a simple task of repairing old buildings. C. The MOSE system has completely solved the sinking problem. D. Scientists believe the city will be safe within the next century. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The history of Venice’s construction. B. The scientific efforts to understand and address the problem. C. The comparison between different areas of Venice. D. The cost of preservation projects. 7. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in the passage? A. Critically negative. B. Casually indifferent. C. Objectively concerned. D. Overly optimistic. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍威尼斯标志性建筑面临缓慢下沉和倾斜的危机，分析其成因并说明相关的科学监测与保护举措。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over centuries,the weight of the buildings has caused compression. Furthermore, the extraction of groundwater from the mainland in the 20th century accelerated the sinking. Although that practice has stopped, natural geological processes, combined with rising sea levels, continue the downward trend.(几个世纪以来，建筑物的重量造成了地面挤压。此外，20世纪从大陆抽取地下水的行为加速了下沉。尽管这种做法已经停止，但自然的地质作用加上海平面上升，仍在让下沉的趋势继续。)”可知，威尼斯当下下沉危机的成因是长期的地质作用以及过去人类抽取地下水的活动。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The challenge for Venice is to preserve its historical authenticity while implementing modern engineering solutions.(威尼斯面临的挑战是在实施现代工程解决方案的同时，保护其历史原貌。)”可知，威尼斯的保护工作需要结合保护历史原貌的传统需求与现代工程手段，是二者的复杂结合。故选A项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Scientists are using advanced technology like satellite radar to measure millimeter-scale movements.(科学家们正使用卫星雷达等先进技术测量毫米级的地势移动。)”以及“The preservation efforts are monumental and constant. The massive MOSE barrier system addresses flooding, but long-term stabilization requires ongoing, painstaking work to reinforce foundations and monitor shifts. (保护工作是巨大且持续的。庞大的摩西屏障系统应对了洪水问题，但长期的稳定需要持续、艰苦的工作来加固地基并监测位移。)”可知，该段主要讲述科学家运用先进技术研究威尼斯下沉问题，同时介绍了对应的应对和保护举措。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The city of Venice is famous for its canals, but it is facing a silent crisis beneath the water’s surface: the gradual sinking and tilting of its iconic buildings.(威尼斯以其运河闻名，但它正面临着水面下的一场无声危机：其标志性建筑正逐渐下沉和倾斜。)”和尾段中的“The challenge for Venice is to preserve its historical authenticity while implementing modern engineering solutions. It’s a race against time and tide, a testament to human ingenuity in defending a city that was itself an audacious feat of engineering.( 威尼斯面临的挑战是在实施现代工程解决方案的同时，保护其历史原貌。这是一场与时间和潮汐的赛跑，见证了人类在守护这座本身就是一项大胆工程壮举的城市时所展现的智慧。) 以及文中对威尼斯下沉成因、科学研究、保护举措的客观陈述可知，作者客观陈述威尼斯保护工作的挑战与人类的应对努力，既无负面批判也无过度乐观，字里行间体现出对威尼斯现状的关切，语气是客观且关切的。故选C项。 C The concept of “food miles” — the distance food travels from farm to plate — has become a popular measure for environmentally conscious consumers. The logic seems simple: locally sourced food requires less transportation, thus generating fewer carbon emissions. However, a growing number of studies suggest that this focus on distance alone is an oversimplification and can sometimes be misleading. A key factor often overlooked is the mode of transport. Shipping a large volume of goods by sea or rail is remarkably efficient per item. For example, a study from the University of Sydney showed that shipping New Zealand apples to the UK could result in lower emissions per apple than buying UK apples stored for months in energy-intensive refrigerated facilities. Similarly, the production phase often has a much larger carbon footprint than transportation. Growing tomatoes in a local heated greenhouse in winter may use more energy than importing them from a country with a suitable climate. This doesn’t mean buying local is bad. It often supports the local economy and provides fresher produce. The point is that sustainability is complex. “Carbon footprint” is a more comprehensive metric, considering all emissions from production, processing, packaging, transport, and waste. Experts advise consumers to consider seasonal availability, farming methods (organic vs. conventional), and packaging in addition to distance. The most sustainable choice isn’t always the closest one; it’s about understanding the full lifecycle of our food. 8. What is the main argument of the passage regarding “food miles”? A. They are the most important factor in food sustainability. B. They are a useful but incomplete indicator of environmental impact. C. They should be the only criterion for consumers to choose food. D. They have no correlation with carbon emissions at all. 9. Why does the author mention New Zealand apples and UK apples? A. To criticize imported food. B. To praise the efficiency of sea transport. C. To illustrate that transportation mode and production conditions matter. D. To encourage people to eat more fruit. 10. What does the author suggest environmentally conscious consumers do? A. Always and only buy local food. B. Ignore food miles completely. C. Focus solely on whether food is organic. D. Adopt a more holistic view of food’s environmental impact. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Distance: A Deeper Look at Food’s Carbon Footprint B. Food Miles: A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem C. The Local Food Movement: A Complete Success D. The Disadvantages of Imported Food 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨食物里程并非衡量食品环境影响的唯一标准，其存在片面性，可持续选择需考量食品全生命周期。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The concept of “food miles” — the distance food travels from farm to plate — has become a popular measure for environmentally conscious consumers. The logic seems simple: locally sourced food requires less transportation, thus generating fewer carbon emissions. However, a growing number of studies suggest that this focus on distance alone is an oversimplification and can sometimes be misleading. (“食物里程”的概念——即食品从农场到餐桌的运输距离——已经成为有环保意识的消费者衡量食品的一个流行标准。这个逻辑看似简单：本地采购的食品需要更少的运输，因此产生的碳排放也更少。然而，越来越多的研究表明，这种只关注距离的做法过于简单化，有时还会产生误导。)”可知，食物里程虽被用作衡量食品环境影响的标准，但仅关注这一点过于片面且具误导性，即其是有用但不完整的指标。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A key factor often overlooked is the mode of transport. Shipping a large volume of goods by sea or rail is remarkably efficient per item. For example, a study from the University of Sydney showed that shipping New Zealand apples to the UK could result in lower emissions per apple than buying UK apples stored for months in energy-intensive refrigerated facilities.(一个经常被忽视的关键因素是运输方式。通过海运或铁路运输大量货物，每件货物的运输效率都非常高。例如，悉尼大学的一项研究表明，将新西兰苹果运往英国，每个苹果产生的碳排放可能比购买在高能耗冷藏设施中储存了数月的英国苹果还要低。)”可知，作者以新西兰苹果和英国苹果为例，是为了说明运输方式和生产储存条件对碳排放的影响，而非仅看运输距离。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Experts advise consumers to consider seasonal availability, farming methods (organic vs. conventional), and packaging in addition to distance. The most sustainable choice isn’t always the closest one; it’s about understanding the full lifecycle of our food.(专家建议消费者除了考虑距离外，还要考虑季节性供应、种植方式（有机与传统）和包装。最可持续的选择并不总是最近的那一个，而是要了解我们食物的全生命周期。)”可知，作者建议有环保意识的消费者摒弃单一的距离考量，从更全面的角度看待食品的环境影响。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, a growing number of studies suggest that this focus on distance alone is an oversimplification and can sometimes be misleading.(然而，越来越多的研究表明，这种只关注距离的做法过于简单化，有时还会产生误导。)”以及第三段中的“The most sustainable choice isn’t always the closest one; it’s about understanding the full lifecycle of our food.(最可持续的选择并不总是最近的那一个，而是要了解我们食物的全生命周期。)”可知，文章核心是指出仅以食物里程（距离）衡量食品环境影响的局限性，强调要跳出距离的单一考量，从全生命周期角度深入了解食品的碳足迹。因此“超越距离：深入了解食品的碳足迹”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 D The ability to read others' emotions is a cornerstone of social intelligence. Traditionally, this was thought to depend heavily on analyzing facial expressions. However, groundbreaking research is challenging this view, suggesting that context — the situation we see someone in-plays a far more dominant role than previously believed. In a series of influential experiments, psychologists showed participants pictures of people displaying strong emotions, but placed these faces in incongruent（不和谐的）contexts. For instance, they placed a face expressing what looked like fear in the context of a winning soccer match. Surprisingly, participants consistently interpreted the emotion based on the context (e.g., as overwhelmed joy) rather than the facial expression alone. The reverse was also true: a neutral face in a frightening situation was read as fearful. This "context superiority effect" indicates that our brain prioritizes the meaning of a whole scene when decoding emotion. We are not simply facial expression detectors; we are intuitive situation analysts. This makes evolutionary sense. Knowing why someone might be emotional (a charging bear vs. a surprise party) is more crucial for survival and appropriate response than just classifying the muscle movements on their face. These findings have significant implications. They question the over-reliance on facial recognition software to judge emotions in fields like security or marketing. They also help explain social misunderstandings, where people from different cultures might share similar facial expressions but interpret the same situation very differently. Emotion, it seems, is not just in the face of the beholder, but in the world that is beheld. 12 What is the traditional view about reading emotions? A. It relies mostly on body language. B. It is primarily based on analyzing situations. C. It depends heavily on understanding facial expressions. D. It is an ability that cannot be learned or improved. 13. What did the experiments described in paragraph 2 find? A. Context can override（推翻）facial expressions in emotion judgment. B. People always believe facial expressions over context. C. Facial expressions are completely unreliable. D. It is impossible to judge emotion from photos. 14. What does the “context superiority effect” imply about human brain function? A. It processes faces and contexts separately. B. It gives priority to situational understanding when judging emotions. C. It is easily fooled by contradictory information. D. It is slow to integrate different types of information. 15. What is a potential practical implication of this research mentioned in the text? A. It validates（证实） the use of current emotion-recognition technology. B. It suggests we should ignore facial expressions entirely. C. It proves that all cultures interpret emotions identically. D. It cautions（警告）against over-trusting technology that reads emotions from faces alone. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了阅读他人情绪的能力，指出传统观点认为这主要依赖于分析面部表情，但突破性研究表明情境在情绪解读中起着更为主导的作用，并阐述了这一发现的重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Traditionally, this was thought to depend heavily on analyzing facial expressions.(传统上，人们认为这在很大程度上依赖于分析面部表情。)”可知，传统观点认为解读他人的情绪在很大程度上依靠分析面部表情。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Surprisingly, participants consistently interpreted the emotion based on the context (e.g., as overwhelmed joy) rather than the facial expression alone. The reverse was also true: a neutral face in a frightening situation was read as fearful.(令人惊讶的是，参与者始终根据情境解读情绪（如欣喜若狂），而非仅凭面部表情。反之亦然：一张中性的脸出现在可怕的情境中，会被解读为恐惧。)”可知，实验发现在判断情绪时，情境可以推翻面部表情所传递的信息。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This "context superiority effect" indicates that our brain prioritizes the meaning of a whole scene when decoding emotion. We are not simply facial expression detectors; we are intuitive situation analysts.(这种“情境优越效应”表明，我们的大脑在解码情绪时优先考虑整个场景的意义。我们不仅仅是面部表情探测器；我们是直观的情境分析师。)”可推断，“情境优越效应”意味着人类大脑在判断情绪时优先考虑情境理解。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These findings have significant implications. They question the over-reliance on facial recognition software to judge emotions in fields like security or marketing.(这些发现具有重大意义。它们质疑在安全或营销等领域过度依赖面部识别软件来判断情绪。)”可推断，这项研究的一个潜在实际意义是警告人们不要过度信任仅从面部读取情绪的技术。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make the Most of Your Morning Routine We’ve all heard that successful people often have morning routines.

While her parents and older brother thrived on social gatherings and lively debates, Ella found comfort in books and solitary walks in the woods behind their house. Her family, though loving, often joked about her being “in her own world.” Ella didn’t mind, but sometimes she wondered if they truly understood her. For her sixteenth birthday, Ella’s family surprised her with a gift she hadn’t asked for: a ticket to a popular three-day music festival. "You need to get out more, experience some real excitement!" her brother said, clapping her on the back. Ella’s heart sank. The thought of massive crowds, loud noise, and constant social interaction filled her with dread. But seeing their eager, expectant faces, she forced a smile and thanked them. The first day of the festival was overwhelming. The sea of people, the pounding music from multiple stages, the constant chatter — it was sensory overload for Ella. She felt disconnected and anxious, unable to enjoy herself as her family did, dancing and singing along. During a particularly loud performance, she quietly slipped away, seeking refuge at the quiet edge of the festival grounds near a small lake. Sitting on the grass, she took a deep breath, relieved by the relative quiet. That’s when she noticed an older man sitting under a tree, sketching in a notebook. He looked peaceful and absorbed in his work. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Curious, Ella moved closer and saw that he was drawing the scene around the lake. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they talked, Ella’s family found her, looking worried. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Curious, Ella moved closer and saw that he was drawing the scene around the lake. The sketch captured the gentle ripples on the water, the way sunlight filtered through the leaves, and even the faint outline of distant festival tents — all rendered with soft, precise lines. “It’s beautiful,” she murmured without thinking. The man looked up, smiling warmly. “Thank you. I find peace in capturing quiet moments, even amid chaos.” Ella nodded, relieved to meet someone who understood her need for calm. They talked about art, nature, and how loud crowds could feel overwhelming. He shared that he’d once been shy too, and sketching had become his way to connect with the world without feeling pressured. Ella felt a sense of belonging she hadn’t expected at the festival. As they talked, Ella’s family found her, looking worried. “We’ve been searching everywhere!” her mom said, hurrying over. When they saw her laughing with the artist and glancing at his sketchbook, their concern softened. The man explained how they’d bonded over quiet observations, and Ella shyly showed her family the drawing. “I didn’t realize you liked this kind of thing,” her brother said, sounding surprised but gentle. Ella smiled, feeling seen for the first time in a long while. “I don’t hate being out — I just like it in my own way,” she said. Her family nodded, and for the rest of the festival, they took turns joining her for quiet walks by the lake, while also enjoying the music. Ella learned that being quiet didn’t mean being lonely, and her family learned to cherish her unique way of experiencing the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Ella性格内向，在外向的家庭中常被调侃“活在自己的世界里”。家人送她音乐节门票作生日礼物，她虽不情愿但勉强接受。音乐节首日她不堪重负，悄悄躲到场地边缘湖边，看到一男子安静作画。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“出于好奇，Ella走近了些，看到他正在画湖边的景色。”可知，第一段先描写Ella因好奇靠近作画的男子，看到他笔下精美的湖边速写，再写两人的对话交流，男子分享速写于自己的意义，最后写Ella在节日里意外感受到了归属感。 ②由第二段句首内容“他们交谈时，Ella的家人找到了她，看上去忧心忡忡。”可知，第二段先描写Ella的家人焦急找到她，看到她和画家交谈后放下担忧，再写家人看到画作后的反应，Ella向家人袒露自己的感受，最后写家人做出改变陪伴Ella，Ella也懂得安静并非孤独，家人也学会珍视她独特的感受世界的方式，升华文章主旨。 2.续写线索：好奇靠近 —— 欣赏速写 —— 交谈相知 —— 家人寻来 —— 袒露心声 —— 彼此理解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①捕捉：capture/seize ②抬头看：look up/raise one’s head ③交谈：talk about/have a conversation about 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry/anxiety ②惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型1】He shared that he’d once been shy too, and sketching had become his way to connect with the world without feeling pressured.
