He won the Irish amateur title twice before going professional. At 20, he made history by winning the English Grand National on his first attempt in 2000. Walsh had a really successful career with lots of praise and honours. He became the Irish Jump Jockey champion twelve times. Between 2004 and 2017, he dominated the Cheltenham Festival with 59 wins, the most ever, and claimed the leading rider’s award 11 times. Laffit Pincay Laffit Pincay, from Panama, was brought to the US by Fred W. Hooper in 1966. Starting at Arlington Park, he won eight of his first eleven races, quickly gaining nationwide recognition. He won almost every major US race, including two American classic races. He was the US Champion Jockey by Earnings 7 times and by Wins once, and was admitted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1975. Lester Piggott Lester Piggott, an English jockey and trainer, started racing at 12 and won his first race in 1948 at Haydock Park. He became the youngest to ride and win over 100 races in a season. He won numerous top UK races, with records like 9 Epsom Derby wins and 11 Ascot Gold Cup wins. Russell Baze Coming from a horse-racing family, Russell Baze began his career at 16 at the Yakima racetrack in Washington, winning his first race in 1974. He became a major force in American racing, winning the United States Champion Jockey by Wins 10 times. At Bay Meadows, he won 36 titles, and at Golden Gate Fields, 27. 1. Where did Laffit Pincay start his racing career in the US? A. At Haydock Park. B. At Arlington Park. C. At Bay Meadows. D. At Yakima racetrack. 2. What record did Lester Piggott set in his racing career? A. He had 9 Epsom Derby wins. B. He won 36 titles at Bay Meadows. C. He won the Irish amateur title twice. D. He won 59 races at Cheltenham Festival. 3. What do Ruby Walsh and Russell Baze have in common? A. They began racing at the age of 16. B. They won the English Grand National. C. They were born into a horse-racing related family. D. They were admitted into the Hall of Fame. B When Sara Weaner Cooper and her husband bought their first home in Pennsylvania,they didn’t want a neat, plain lawn (草坪) like the neighbours. They wanted a wild, living garden full ofdifferent plants and animals. It was a brave idea to be sure, considering it involved changing their entire lawn when they were new to the neighbourhood. Thankfully, Weaner Cooper had ideal support for the project-her father is Larry Weaner, a famous ecological landscape designer. The landscape design style he uses relies mainly on native plants, aiming to work with how they want to grow rather than forcing them into particular areas. Weaner Cooper had always wanted to focus on native plants in her lawn and do less lawn-cutting, so rewilding their front lawn felt like the right but tough move. The lawn gets full sunlight and covers more than 1,500 square metres. It was planted with narrow-leaved grass to look uniform, so they needed to replace it before turning the area into a natural meadow(草地). It was a great challenge. Instead of tearing out all the grass and looking at an ugly brown yard for months, they planted native seeds and small plants right into the lawn and hoped the new plants would slowly push the grass out. It tookabout two years, lots of planning, some careful weeding, and some trial and error, but eventually a mix of waist-high native plant species blanketed their vast front lawn. “Meadowscaping”, or turning a traditional lawn into a meadow, is a fast-growing trend experts in the field are noticing, especially among younger generations who tend to be more climate-aware. Compared to lawns, meadows-open landscapes filled with various non-woody plants such as tall grasses, flowers and herbs-are less expensive to maintain,require less water and energy and help sequester more CO2. Most importantly, they also encourage biodiversity and they’re typically more appealing to pollinators (传粉者), which are keystone species on which ecosystems depend. 4. What conclusion can we draw about Larry Weaner’s landscape design philosophy? A. He believes in controlling plant growth strictly. B. He values artificial appearance over natural growth. C. He considers lawns better than meadows for biodiversity. D. He advocates for harmonizing with nature. 5. What was the primary challenge when the Coopers transformed their lawn? A. Lack of support from neighbours. B. The large-sized and uniform grass. C. Insufficient knowledge of native plants. D. High costs of ecological landscape design. 6. What does the underlined word “sequester” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Absorb. B. Release. C. Fix. D. Detect. 7. What is the main benefit of “meadowscaping“ according to the text? A. Promoting biodiversity. B. Attracting more insects. C. Increasing property values. D. Reducing cutting frequency. C In the olden days nightmares were thought to take away the dreamer’s life-energy. Today we know there are no bad spirits, but nightmares can still hurt your health. Almost everyone has nightmares. But it is among those who have them weekly-somewhere between 2% and 6% of the population-that connections with ill-health seem to arise. Some links are to be expected. Depression, anxiety, and stress disorder, for example, all have nightmares as a common symptom. The same goes for long-standing pain. But other connections are hard to understand. Abidemi Otaiku is a professor at Imperial College London. His most recent work, presented in June at a conference in Helsinki, shows that frequent nightmares are stronger predictors of early death than smoking, being very overweight or poor diet. Dr Otaiku reached this conclusion by analyzing six long-term studies from America and Britain, involving more than 180,000 adults and almost 2,500 children. Those with frequent (at least weekly) nightmares were three times more likely to die before the age of 70 than, those who had them less than once a month. Out of 174 people who died prematurely, 31 had frequent nightmares. He found that people who often have nightmares seem to have older-looking chromosomes (染色体), probably because bad dreams raise stress. These chromosome changes might explain about 40% of their higher chance of dying early. Where the other 60% comes from is unknown. All of these suggest paying attention to nightmares is a good idea. Where they are a symptom, they can warn of trouble ahead. And where they are a cause, treatments to reduce nightmares can be undertaken as a priority. Treating nightmares is harder than spotting them. And certain drugs, such as prazosin (ordinarily used to treat high blood pressure), may assist. But the study of nightmares remains an underexplored field of medicine. That needs to change. 8. What did people long ago think about nightmares? A. They were harmful to health. B. They stole life-energy at night. C. They were signs of early death. D. They were common among people. 9. What can we know from Dr Otaiku’s research? A. Smoking is more dangerous than frequent nightmares. B. Premature death is mainly caused by frequent nightmares. C. Children are more likely to have frequent nightmares than adults. D. Frequent nightmares may have a serious effect on people’s health. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the study of nightmares? A. Prazosin is a proven cure for nightmares. B. Nightmares lead to high blood pressure. C. It requires more attention and research. D. It has made great progress in curing nightmares. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Nightmares: A Hidden Health Warning B. The Current Treatments for Nightmares C. Nightmares: A Fully-Resolved Medical Issue D. The Historical Beliefs About Nightmares D We live in a society that’s crazy about winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists,championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of honour. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finishing line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows. But the “almosts” shouldn’t be overlooked. The runner who loses by a second, the inventor with a mistimed idea, and the poet whose words gain significance later all contribute significantly. Their efforts often shape the world in ways we only notice later. They’re not failures; instead, they test boundaries and sometimes drive society forward more than celebrated victors. Nikola Tesla, a genius overshadowed by Thomas Edison in his lifetime, had brave visions like wireless power. He died poor, yet his innovations are everywhere in our daily lives. Emily Dickinson’s poems were ignored during her life but later revolutionized.American poetry. Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician, made spaceflight possible,but her work was unrecognized for decades. These ”almosts“ show that falling short doesn’t mean lacking impact. Pioneers who break new ground often don’t get the honour. Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray images of DNA were crucial for a major scientific discovery, but Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize. Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his life and struggled with poverty. His fame and the value of his work rose dramatically only after his death.Athletes who change training standards, activists who plant seeds of change, and musicians who influence future generations are all “almosts” who clear the path for others. When we recognize the “almosts”, we redefine winning. It’s about the courage to try, slip up, and keep going. The runner who takes silver comes back stronger. Small-business founders may fail first but rise with a game-changing idea. Artists who weren’t celebrated in their time often touch souls later. The “almosts” remind us that success is about daring to start. Effort is valuable even without applause, and struggle has meaning. Most of us are ”almosts” in some areas of life. Though few reach first place, we all matter. The “almosts” exist between being unknown and becoming famous, quietly pushing the world forward. 12. What social phenomenon does Paragraph 1 present? A. Last-place finishers gain no public attention at all. B. Society punishes those who fail to win competitions. C. Traditional honour symbols have lost their original value. D. Near-winners are overlooked in a victory-consumed society. 13. Why are “almosts” important to society? A. They set examples of how to avoid failure in life. B. Their efforts push society forward in various fields. C. They always win awards in the end with their efforts. D. They are more creative than those who win first places. 14. What does the author propose as a more meaningful definition of “winning”? A. Achieving fame and public recognition. B. Becoming the one to achieve a great discovery. C. Leaving an everlasting mark that shines brightly. D. Being brave to attempt, make mistakes and keep going. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “almosts”? A. Dismissive. B. Disappointed. C. Appreciative. D. Doubtful. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Listening is an art. It requires us to be patient, receptive, open-minded, and non-judgmental. Then how can we master the art of listening? Make eye contact. ___16___ If you don’t look at the person while they’re speaking, you give them the impression that you don’t care what they say. Basically, it appears as though you don’t even care about them. Don’t interrupt. Let the person speak uninterrupted. To master the art of listening you need to stop any good thoughts that come to mind and let the person say everything they need to say.Often people simply need someone to talk to, not someone who will interrupt and give their own thoughts and opinions.___17___ Show you understand. One great way to show that you understand what the person is telling you is to nod.You can also make noises that show you’re in tune with what the person is saying such as “yes”, “yeah”, or “okay”. ___18___ Show some interest and make them know you get it. Listen without judgment. To effectively master the art of listening, it’s extremely important to keep back any negative evaluations or judgments.___19___ After all, who wants to open up to a narrow-minded person? It also helps to be mindful of your “shut off” triggers(触发器),which are the specific words, looks, or situations that cause you to stop listening. This way, you can prevent yourself from shutting off in the future. Listen to non-verbal communication. About 60-75% of our communication is non-verbal. That’s a lot! In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, to open yourself more, or to be more supportive in your approach, it’s essential to know what the person’s body is saying. ___20___ Are they on guard against you? Do their actions match their words? A. Do they display signs of discomfort? B. This rule is very obvious but frequently forgotten. C. The goal is to shine the spotlight on them, not you. D. Do you need to listen to everyone deeply all the time? E. This may seem unimportant but don’t be like a walking dead. F. Make it your objective to be open-minded as much as possible. G. Try to guess what they are thinking based on your own experiences. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My father loves running.

Emma, whose mum owned a craft store, brought boxes of coloured paper, ribbons (丝带), glue guns and colourful string. Lily, who had loved drawing since childhood, prepared notebooks, markers, watercolours and small wooden boards. They had already made a few items-paper flowers and simple doodles (涂鸦) — but Lily felt discouraged. “Your paper crafts look so neat, “Lily said to Emma, watching her fold a paper bird perfectly. She held up her own wooden keychain with a lopsided (倾斜的) cat drawing and sighed.” Mine looks like a messed-up cloud, not a cat! “she whispered. Emma smiled,tapping the keychain gently. “It’s cute in its own way-kids will love the funny look,” she said confidently. Just then, Lily tried to glue a ribbon onto a paper bag to make a gift bag. The glue flowed out everywhere, ruining the bag.” See? I can’t even do simple things right! “she said angrily, dropping the glue gun. Emma leaned over, wiping the extra glue with a tissue. “Let’s try together-you hold the ribbon, and I’ll apply the glue,” she suggested. Lily nodded, but her hands shook, and the ribbon slipped again. Her eyes were filled with tears. “I’m useless at this!” she said, pushing the table slightly. Emma put her hand on Lily’s shoulder. “Everyone has tough starts. Remember when you taught me to draw a sun? I kept making it a circle with lines-you never gave up on me.” Before Lily could reply, a little girl ran over with her mum. “Mommy, I want that cat keychain!” she pointed at Lily’s creation. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily stared in shock. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the fair ended, they raised $200 for the shelter. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级2月测评 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 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，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 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，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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.How much should the man pay?

They wanted a wild, living garden full ofdifferent plants and animals. It was a brave idea, to be sure, considering it involved changing their entire lawn when they were new to the neighbourhood. Thankfully, Weaner Cooper had ideal support for the project-her father is Larry Weaner, a famous ecological landscape designer. The landscape design style he uses relies mainly on native plants, aiming to work with how they want to grow rather than forcing them into particular areas. Weaner Cooper had always wanted to focus on native plants in her lawn and do less lawn-cutting, so rewilding their front lawn felt like the right but tough move. The lawn gets full sunlight and covers more than 1,500 square metres. It was planted with narrow-leaved grass to look uniform, so they needed to replace it before turning the area into a natural meadow(草地). It was a great challenge. Instead of tearing out all the grass and looking at an ugly brown yard for months, they planted native seeds and small plants right into the lawn and hoped the new plants would slowly push the grass out. It tookabout two years, lots of planning, some careful weeding, and some trial and error, but eventually a mix of waist-high native plant species blanketed their vast front lawn. “Meadowscaping”, or turning a traditional lawn into a meadow, is a fast-growing trend experts in the field are noticing, especially among younger generations who tend to be more climate-aware. Compared to lawns, meadows-open landscapes filled with various non-woody plants such as tall grasses, flowers and herbs-are less expensive to maintain,require less water and energy and help sequester more CO2. Most importantly, they also encourage biodiversity and they’re typically more appealing to pollinators (传粉者), which are keystone species on which ecosystems depend. 4. What conclusion can we draw about Larry Weaner’s landscape design philosophy? A. He believes in controlling plant growth strictly. B. He values artificial appearance over natural growth. C. He considers lawns better than meadows for biodiversity. D. He advocates for harmonizing with nature. 5. What was the primary challenge when the Coopers transformed their lawn? A. Lack of support from neighbours. B. The large-sized and uniform grass. C. Insufficient knowledge of native plants. D. High costs of ecological landscape design. 6. What does the underlined word “sequester” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Absorb. B. Release. C. Fix. D. Detect. 7. What is the main benefit of “meadowscaping“ according to the text? A. Promoting biodiversity. B. Attracting more insects. C. Increasing property values. D. Reducing cutting frequency. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了库珀夫妇将自家草坪改造成自然草地的过程及“草地景观化”的优势。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The landscape design style he uses relies mainly on native plants, aiming to work with how they want to grow rather than forcing them into particular areas.(他所采用的景观设计风格主要依靠本土植物，旨在顺应植物的自然生长方式，而非强迫它们生长在特定区域。)”可知，他主张顺应自然、与自然和谐共处。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The lawn gets full sunlight and covers more than 1,500 square metres. It was planted with narrow-leaved grass to look uniform, so they needed to replace it before turning the area into a natural meadow(草地). It was a great challenge.(草坪能得到充足的阳光，面积超过1500平方米。它种植了窄叶草，看起来很整齐，所以在把这片区域变成天然草地之前，他们需要更换草种。这是一个巨大的挑战。)”可知，库珀夫妇改造草坪时面临的主要挑战是大片且平整的草地。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Compared to lawns, meadows-open landscapes filled with various non-woody plants such as tall grasses, flowers and herbs-are less expensive to maintain,require less water and energy and help sequester more CO2.(与草坪相比，草地——由各种非木本植物如高草、花卉和草本植物组成的开放景观——维护成本更低，需要的水和能源更少，并且有助于sequester更多的二氧化碳。)”可知，草地有助于吸收二氧化碳，所以sequester意为“吸收”。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most importantly, they also encourage biodiversity and they’re typically more appealing to pollinators (传粉者),which are keystone species on which ecosystems depend.(最重要的是，它们还鼓励生物多样性，而且通常对传粉者更有吸引力，而传粉者是生态系统所依赖的关键物种。)”可知，“草地景观化”的主要好处是促进生物多样性。故选A。 C In the olden days nightmares were thought to take away the dreamer’s life-energy. Today we know there are no bad spirits, but nightmares can still hurt your health. Almost everyone has nightmares. But it is among those who have them weekly-somewhere between 2% and 6% of the population-that connections with ill-health seem to arise. Some links are to be expected. Depression, anxiety, and stress disorder, for example, all have nightmares as a common symptom. The same goes for long-standing pain. But other connections are hard to understand. Abidemi Otaiku is a professor at Imperial College London. His most recent work, presented in June at a conference in Helsinki, shows that frequent nightmares are stronger predictors of early death than smoking, being very overweight or poor diet. Dr Otaiku reached this conclusion by analyzing six long-term studies from America and Britain, involving more than 180,000 adults and almost 2,500 children. Those with frequent (at least weekly) nightmares were three times more likely to die before the age of 70 than, those who had them less than once a month. Out of 174 people who died prematurely, 31 had frequent nightmares. He found that people who often have nightmares seem to have older-looking chromosomes (染色体), probably because bad dreams raise stress. These chromosome changes might explain about 40% of their higher chance of dying early. Where the other 60% comes from is unknown. All of these suggest paying attention to nightmares is a good idea. Where they are a symptom, they can warn of trouble ahead. And where they are a cause, treatments to reduce nightmares can be undertaken as a priority. Treating nightmares is harder than spotting them. And certain drugs, such as prazosin (ordinarily used to treat high blood pressure), may assist. But the study of nightmares remains an underexplored field of medicine. That needs to change. 8. What did people long ago think about nightmares? A. They were harmful to health. B. They stole life-energy at night. C. They were signs of early death. D. They were common among people. 9. What can we know from Dr Otaiku’s research? A. Smoking is more dangerous than frequent nightmares. B. Premature death is mainly caused by frequent nightmares. C. Children are more likely to have frequent nightmares than adults. D. Frequent nightmares may have a serious effect on people’s health. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the study of nightmares? A. Prazosin is a proven cure for nightmares. B. Nightmares lead to high blood pressure. C. It requires more attention and research. D. It has made great progress in curing nightmares. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Nightmares: A Hidden Health Warning B. The Current Treatments for Nightmares C. Nightmares: A Fully-Resolved Medical Issue D. The Historical Beliefs About Nightmares 【答案】8 B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了古人认为噩梦会夺走人的生命能量。现代研究发现，频繁噩梦与健康不佳、早逝风险相关，可能与染色体老化有关。目前噩梦研究尚不充分，应得到更多重视。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the olden days nightmares were thought to take away the dreamer’s life-energy. (在过去，人们认为噩梦会夺走做梦者的生命活力。)”可知，很久以前的人们认为噩梦是在夜晚窃取了人的生命力。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His most recent work, presented in June at a conference in Helsinki, shows that frequent nightmares are stronger predictors of early death than smoking, being very overweight or poor diet. (他最近一项研究成果于 6 月在赫尔辛基的一次会议上公布，该研究表明，频繁做噩梦比吸烟、体重过重或饮食不良更能预示早逝。)”可知，经常做噩梦可能会对人的健康产生严重的影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the study of nightmares remains an underexplored field of medicine. That needs to change. (但关于噩梦的研究在医学领域仍是一个尚未得到充分探索的领域。这种情况亟待改变。)”可知，噩梦研究需要更多的关注和研究。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today we know there are no bad spirits, but nightmares can still hurt your health. Almost everyone has nightmares. But it is among those who have them weekly-somewhere between 2% and 6% of the population-that connections with ill-health seem to arise. Some links are to be expected. (如今我们知道世上并不存在邪恶的鬼魂，但噩梦仍可能损害你的健康。几乎每个人都会做噩梦。但那些每周都会做噩梦的人——约占人口的2%至6%——似乎更容易出现与健康问题相关的关联。有些关联是意料之中的，而有些则未必如此。)”结合文章主要说明了古人认为噩梦会夺走人的生命能量。现代研究发现，频繁噩梦与健康不佳、早逝风险相关，可能与染色体老化有关。目前噩梦研究尚不充分，应得到更多重视。可知，A选项“噩梦：一种潜在的健康警示”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D We live in a society that’s crazy about winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists,championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of honour. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finishing line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows. But the “almosts” shouldn’t be overlooked. The runner who loses by a second, the inventor with a mistimed idea, and the poet whose words gain significance later all contribute significantly. Their efforts often shape the world in ways we only notice later. They’re not failures; instead, they test boundaries and sometimes drive society forward more than celebrated victors. Nikola Tesla, a genius overshadowed by Thomas Edison in his lifetime, had brave visions like wireless power. He died poor, yet his innovations are everywhere in our daily lives. Emily Dickinson’s poems were ignored during her life but later revolutionized.American poetry. Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician, made spaceflight possible,but her work was unrecognized for decades. These ”almosts“ show that falling short doesn’t mean lacking impact. Pioneers who break new ground often don’t get the honour. Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray images of DNA were crucial for a major scientific discovery, but Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize. Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his life and struggled with poverty. His fame and the value of his work rose dramatically only after his death.Athletes who change training standards, activists who plant seeds of change, and musicians who influence future generations are all “almosts” who clear the path for others. When we recognize the “almosts”, we redefine winning. It’s about the courage to try, slip up, and keep going. The runner who takes silver comes back stronger. Small-business founders may fail first but rise with a game-changing idea. Artists who weren’t celebrated in their time often touch souls later. The “almosts” remind us that success is about daring to start. Effort is valuable even without applause, and struggle has meaning. Most of us are ”almosts” in some areas of life. Though few reach first place, we all matter. The “almosts” exist between being unknown and becoming famous, quietly pushing the world forward. 12. What social phenomenon does Paragraph 1 present? A. Last-place finishers gain no public attention at all. B. Society punishes those who fail to win competitions. C. Traditional honour symbols have lost their original value. D. Near-winners are overlooked in a victory-consumed society. 13. Why are “almosts” important to society? A. They set examples of how to avoid failure in life. B. Their efforts push society forward in various fields. C. They always win awards in the end with their efforts. D. They are more creative than those who win first places. 14. What does the author propose as a more meaningful definition of “winning”? A. Achieving fame and public recognition. B. Becoming the one to achieve a great discovery. C. Leaving an everlasting mark that shines brightly. D. Being brave to attempt, make mistakes and keep going. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “almosts”? A. Dismissive. B. Disappointed. C. Appreciative. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。谈论了当今社会只追捧成功者，却忽视那些“差一点成功”的人。文章通过多个名人例子，指出他们的努力同样推动社会进步，认为真正的成功是勇于尝试、坚持前行，每个人都有价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We live in a society that’s crazy about winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists, championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of honour. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finishing line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows.(我们生活在一个极度崇尚胜利的社会里。金牌、畅销书排行榜、冠军头衔以及诺贝尔奖都是荣耀的象征。聚光灯总是聚焦在那些率先冲过终点线的人身上，而那些接近终点却未能成功的人则会被遗忘在阴影之中)”可知，第一段描述了在一个充斥着胜利的社会中，接近获胜者的人往往会被忽视。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Their efforts often shape the world in ways we only notice later. They’re not failures; instead, they test boundaries and sometimes drive society forward more than celebrated victors.(他们的努力往往会在我们日后才意识到的情况下改变世界。这些努力并非失败之举；相反，他们突破了种种界限，有时甚至比那些备受赞誉的胜利者更能推动社会向前发展)”可知，这些“差一点成功的人”在各领域付出努力，推动社会前进。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When we recognize the “almosts”, we redefine winning. It’s about the courage to try, slip up, and keep going.(当我们认可“差一点成功”的人时，我们就重新定义了“成功”的含义。这关乎的是去尝试、犯错以及继续前行的勇气)”可知，作者重新定义 “胜利”：勇于尝试、犯错、坚持下去。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Their efforts often shape the world in ways we only notice later. They’re not failures; instead, they test boundaries and sometimes drive society forward more than celebrated victors.(他们的努力往往会在我们日后才意识到的情况下改变世界。这些努力并非失败之举；相反，他们突破了种种界限，有时甚至比那些备受赞誉的胜利者更能推动社会向前发展)”以及最后一段“The “almosts” exist between being unknown and becoming famous, quietly pushing the world forward.(那些“差一点成功”的人，存在于从默默无闻到声名鹊起的这一过程中，它们默默地推动着世界向前发展)”可知，作者对“差一点成功”的人是积极赞赏的态度。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Listening is an art. It requires us to be patient, receptive, open-minded, and non-judgmental. Then how can we master the art of listening? Make eye contact. ___16___ If you don’t look at the person while they’re speaking, you give them the impression that you don’t care what they say. Basically, it appears as though you don’t even care about them. Don’t interrupt. Let the person speak uninterrupted. To master the art of listening you need to stop any good thoughts that come to mind and let the person say everything they need to say.Often people simply need someone to talk to, not someone who will interrupt and give their own thoughts and opinions.___17___ Show you understand. One great way to show that you understand what the person is telling you is to nod.You can also make noises that show you’re in tune with what the person is saying such as “yes”, “yeah”, or “okay”. ___18___ Show some interest and make them know you get it. Listen without judgment. To effectively master the art of listening, it’s extremely important to keep back any negative evaluations or judgments.___19___ After all, who wants to open up to a narrow-minded person? It also helps to be mindful of your “shut off” triggers(触发器),which are the specific words, looks, or situations that cause you to stop listening. This way, you can prevent yourself from shutting off in the future. Listen to non-verbal communication. About 60-75% of our communication is non-verbal. That’s a lot! In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, to open yourself more, or to be more supportive in your approach, it’s essential to know what the person’s body is saying. ___20___ Are they on guard against you? Do their actions match their words? A. Do they display signs of discomfort? B. This rule is very obvious but frequently forgotten. C. The goal is to shine the spotlight on them, not you. D. Do you need to listen to everyone deeply all the time? E. This may seem unimportant, but don’t be like a walking dead. F Make it your objective to be open-minded as much as possible. G. Try to guess what they are thinking based on your own experiences. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. F 20.

Emma, whose mum owned a craft store, brought boxes of coloured paper, ribbons (丝带), glue guns and colourful string. Lily, who had loved drawing since childhood, prepared notebooks, markers, watercolours and small wooden boards. They had already made a few items-paper flowers and simple doodles (涂鸦) — but Lily felt discouraged. “Your paper crafts look so neat, “Lily said to Emma, watching her fold a paper bird perfectly. She held up her own wooden keychain with a lopsided (倾斜的) cat drawing and sighed.” Mine looks like a messed-up cloud, not a cat! “she whispered. Emma smiled,tapping the keychain gently. “It’s cute in its own way-kids will love the funny look,” she said confidently. Just then Lily tried to glue a ribbon onto a paper bag to make a gift bag. The glue flowed out everywhere, ruining the bag.” See? I can’t even do simple things right! “she said angrily, dropping the glue gun. Emma leaned over, wiping the extra glue with a tissue. “Let’s try together-you hold the ribbon, and I’ll apply the glue,” she suggested. Lily nodded, but her hands shook, and the ribbon slipped again. Her eyes were filled with tears. “I’m useless at this!” she said, pushing the table slightly. Emma put her hand on Lily’s shoulder. “Everyone has tough starts. Remember when you taught me to draw a sun? I kept making it a circle with lines-you never gave up on me.” Before Lily could reply, a little girl ran over with her mum. “Mommy, I want that cat keychain!” she pointed at Lily’s creation. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily stared in shock. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the fair ended, they raised $200 for the shelter. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Lily stared in shock. She couldn’t believe someone liked her lopsided cat keychain. The little girl’s mum smiled and paid for it, praising the unique design. Encouraged by this, Lily’s eyes lit up and her hands stopped shaking. She and Emma worked together smoothly after that — Lily drew cute doodles on wooden crafts while Emma made delicate paper flowers, and their booth soon attracted more people. Kids loved Lily’s funny and warm drawings, and many adults bought them as small gifts. Lily no longer felt discouraged, her heart filled with joy and confidence. When the fair ended, they raised $200 for the shelter. The two girls hugged each other excitedly, proud of what they had achieved together. They took the money to the local animal shelter the next day, where they saw cute homeless cats and dogs. The staff thanked them warmly, saying the money would buy food and toys for the pets. Lily looked at her remaining wooden crafts and smiled, knowing her imperfect drawings could bring warmth and help to others. She realized that everyone has their own strengths, and working together makes kindness more powerful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以慈善手工义卖为线索，讲述了社区举办夏日集市为当地动物收容所筹款，两个女孩摆摊售卖手工制品助力流浪宠物，莉莉因自己的手工制品不够精致而倍感沮丧，做手工时频频出错甚至觉得自己一无是处，艾玛一直耐心鼓励她，就在莉莉情绪低落时，一个小女孩突然跑来想要买下莉莉做的歪歪扭扭的猫咪钥匙扣的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“莉莉震惊地瞪大了眼睛。”可知，本段可描写莉莉的心态转变与义卖的顺利开展。 ② 由第二段首句“集市结束时，她们为收容所筹到了200美元。”可知，本段可描述义卖成果与两人的行动、感悟。 2. 续写线索：莉莉对小女孩的喜爱感到震惊——小女孩妈妈夸赞作品，莉莉重拾信心——莉莉与艾玛默契配合制作手工，摊位吸引众多顾客——集市结束，两人筹得200美元善款——女孩们将善款送到收容所，获工作人员感谢——莉莉领悟到自身价值与合作、善意的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①称赞：praise/commend ②吸引：attract/draw ③ 实现：achieve/fulfill 情感类 ①沮丧的：discouraged/frustrated ②开心的：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Encouraged by this, Lily’s eyes lit up and her hands stopped shaking.（运用过去分词短语“Encouraged by this”作原因状语） [高分句型2] She realized that everyone has their own strengths, and working together makes kindness more powerful.（运用that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
