Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks. The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC). Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says. From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique. 1. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products? A. Their major uses. B. Their cultural value. C. Their historic origins. D. Their manufacturing process. 2. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui? A. Making the artworks vivid. B. Drawing sketches on paper. C. Selecting suitable materials. D. Preserving finished products. 3. Which of the following aspects is not mentioned in the article？ A. The history of straw-weaving. B. The shortcomings of straw-weaving. C. The future development trend of straw-weaving. D. The process of making straw-weaving. 4. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph? A. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers. B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople. C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques. D. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产草编的历史起源、制作过程、面临的现状以及非遗传承人吴翠对草编未来发展的看法和计划。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).(最早的草编产品是在中国东部浙江省的新石器时代文化遗址河姆渡文化遗址中发现的。儒家经典著作之一的《礼记》也记载，在周朝（约公元前11世纪——公元前256年），就已经有蒲草制成的垫子和专业的草编工匠了)”可知，最早的草编产品在河姆渡文化遗址被发现，《礼记》也记载了周朝时期就有蒲草制成的垫子和专业的草编工匠。由此可知，第二段主要讲述的是草编产品的历史起源。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.(即使完成了那个过程，也并不意味着你总能创作出一件好作品，而最困难的部分是让它栩栩如生)”可知，在吴翠看来，草编工匠最困难的部分是让艺术品生动逼真。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).(最早的草编产品是在位于中国东部浙江省的河姆渡文化遗址发现的。儒家经典著作之一《礼记》也记载，周朝（约公元前11世纪至公元前256年）时期已有用芦苇草编织的席子和专业的草编工匠)”可知，最早的草编产品是在位于中国东部浙江省的河姆渡文化遗址发现的，所以文章中提到了草编的历史，A项不合题意；根据最后一段“From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.(在她看来，草编应该满足人们的需求和喜好，同时也要从传统文化中汲取灵感。“工匠们应该努力把握时代的潮流和机遇，创造出新颖且有意义的产品。”当被问及她的计划时，吴说她想更深入地挖掘当地的传统文化，并通过发展草编技术来创造文化创意产品)”可知，吴说她想更深入地挖掘当地的传统文化，并通过发展草编技术来创造文化创意产品，所以文章中提到了草编的未来发展趋势，C项不合题意；根据第四段“Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work(吴翠解释了草编的过程：选材是一个复杂、耗时且劳动密集型过程的第一步，这个过程可能需要数周甚至数月才能完成。你需要在纸上画出草图，这需要绘画技巧。接下来是作品的编织、塑形和保存)”可知，文章中提到了草编的选材以及作品的编织、塑形和保存，D项不合题意；文章中并没有提到草编的缺点，B选项符合题意。故选B项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.(在她看来，草编应该满足人们的需求和喜好，同时也要从传统文化中汲取灵感。“工匠们应该努力把握时代的潮流和机遇，创造出新颖且有意义的产品。”当被问及她的计划时，吴说她想更深入地挖掘当地的传统文化，并通过发展草编技术来创造文化创意产品)”可知，在吴翠看来，草编应该在响应人们需求和喜好的同时，从传统文化中汲取灵感，工匠们应该努力把握时代的趋势和机会，创造新的相关产品。由此推知，工匠们应该在传统文化的基础上对草编工艺进行创新。故选D项。 B Harry Potter lovers around the world may want to thank Alice Newton. She was eight years old when her father brought home a manuscript for her to read. At the time, he was working for Bloomsbury Publishing. After reading the manuscript, Alice wrote a note to her father: "The excitement in this book made me feel warm inside," she wrote. "I think it is probably one of the best books an 8 or 9 year old could read." Based in part on Alice's comments, Bloomsbury went on to publish "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Alice's note to her father is part of the British Library's new exhibition, "Harry Potter: A History of Magic." It celebrates the 20th anniversary of the publication of J.K. Rowling's first book about Harry and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in 1997, Bloomsbury sent just 500 copies to stores in Britain and another 500 copies to British libraries. Now, Harry and his friends are known worldwide. The exhibit at the British Library in February includes Rowling's outline for her books, her artwork of its characters and a map of the Hogwarts School. It also includes early versions of Rowling's books that were rejected by other publishers. The show has two rooms. They are divided up based on the subjects offered at Hogwarts. Areas include Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Each area describes the stories and beliefs that Rowling included in her books. Included in the exhibition are discussions of alchemy, the European traditions that led to modern chemistry, and the Ripley Scroll--a six-meter-long document from the 1500s. It describes how to make a Philosopher's Stone. The British Library has already sold about 30,000 tickets to the exhibit—the most advance tickets ever sold for a British Library exhibition. The show closes on February 28, 2018. It will then travel to New York for the 20th anniversary of the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," the book's title in the United States. 5. Why does the writer mention Alice Newton at the beginning of the text? A. To prove the popularity of the following paragraphs B. To introduce the topic of the following paragraphs C. To remind readers to love books as Alice Newton does D. To encourage readers to read Harry Potter series more often 6. Which is NOT included in the British Library’s new exhibition, “Harry Potter: A History of Magic.”? A. Rowling’s outline for her books B. A map of the Hogwarts School C. Rowling’s early published books D. The very note to her father by Alice 7. Which of the following statements is true? A. Thanks to Alice and her father, Harry Potter series gained popularity B. As soon as the first Harry Potter was available, it became the best seller C. The exhibition of Harry Potter: A History of Magic will last two months in Britain D. The exhibition will include discussions about modern chemistry 【答案】5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了爱丽丝·牛顿对《哈利·波特与魔法石》的影响以及大英图书馆关于哈利·波特的展览内容。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“Based in part on Alice's comments, Bloomsbury went on to publish "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."”（部分基于爱丽丝的评论，布卢姆斯伯里出版社出版了《哈利·波特与魔法石》）可推断出，作者在文章开始提到爱丽丝·牛顿是为了介绍接下来几个段落的话题，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“Alice's note to her father is part of the British Library's new exhibition”（爱丽丝给她父亲的便条是大英图书馆新展览的一部分）和“The exhibit at the British Library in February includes Rowling's outline for her books, her artwork of its characters and a map of the Hogwarts School. It also includes early versions of Rowling's books that were rejected by other publishers.”（今年2月在大英图书馆举行的展览包括罗琳的书的大纲、她的人物艺术作品和霍格沃茨学校的地图。它还包括被其他出版商拒绝的罗琳作品的早期版本）可知，爱丽丝写给父亲的便条是大英图书馆这次全新的“哈利·波特：魔法史”展览的一部分。大英图书馆的这次展览包括了罗琳的书稿大纲、角色插画以及一份霍格沃茨魔法学院的地图。它还包括罗琳被其它出版社拒绝的早些版本的书稿，而并不包括罗琳早期出版的书，故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“Harry Potter lovers around the world may want to thank Alice Newton.”（世界各地的哈利波特爱好者可能要感谢爱丽丝·牛顿）和Based in part on Alice's comments, Bloomsbury went on to publish "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."（部分基于爱丽丝的评论，布卢姆斯伯里出版社出版了《哈利·波特与魔法石》）以及第四段“Alice's note to her father is part of the British Library's new exhibition”（爱丽丝给她父亲的便条是大英图书馆新展览的一部分）可知，多亏了爱丽丝和她的父亲，哈利·波特系列才得以流行，选A。 【名师点睛】 文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题。（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。（5）事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。例如本文第2题，属于细节理解题中的第（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合。由Alice's note to her father is part of the British Library's new exhibition和The exhibit at the British Library in February includes Rowling's outline for her books, her artwork of its characters and a map of the Hogwarts School. It also includes early versions of Rowling's books that were rejected by other publishers.可知爱丽丝写给父亲的便条是大英图书馆这次全新的“哈利·波特：魔法史”展览的一部分。大英图书馆的这次展览包括了罗琳的书稿大纲、角色插画以及一份霍格沃茨魔法学院的地图。它还包括罗琳被其它出版社拒绝的早些版本的书稿。选C。 C About one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke (中风). Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans. Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people. To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure (舒张压) that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t. This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year. Based on the new study, we can’t say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn’t be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise. “The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly,” an expert says. 8. Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise? A. It is easier for beginners to learn. B. It is more effective in keeping fit. C. People are more likely to stick to it. D. People can find partners more easily. 9. Which of the following can be inferred from the new study? A. The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration. B. All these participants were of the same age and gender. C. The study analysed different kinds of exercise. D. The researchers studied the participants’ daily routine. 10. What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4? A. The results are far from satisfactory. B. Lowering blood pressure is quite easy. C. Blood pressure reduction is beneficial. D. Doing yoga once a week is meaningful. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain. B. Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure. C. Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people. D The benefits of practising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明练习瑜伽可能有助于降低血压，从而有可能减少心脏病和中风的危险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure.(瑜伽往往比其他形式的运动更可持续，因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。一些实验发现，瑜伽可以降低血压)”可知，瑜伽比其它形式的锻炼更容易坚持因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index(BMI),but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure(舒张压)that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t.(为了找出瑜伽在现实世界中是否有助于降低血压，一些研究人员进行了一项新的研究，分析了1355名年龄在18岁至79岁之间、每周至少练习一次瑜伽的人的电子健康记录。他们将这些人中的每一个人与至少另外三个人进行了比较。他们在年龄、性别和身体质量指数(BMI)等方面具有相似的特征，但在他们的记录中没有提到练习瑜伽。平均而言，练习瑜伽的人的收缩压比不练习瑜伽的人低2.8毫米汞柱，舒张压比不练习瑜伽的人低1.5毫米汞柱)” 可知，这项研究分析了不同年龄，性别和身体指数的人。由此推知，研究考虑了现实中的相关因素。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。倒数第二段的“This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes.( 这种血压降低对研究中的大多数人来说可能不会有太大的影响，因为他们往往是年轻健康的。他们的血压已经正常了。但在人口水平上，如果平均血压下降这么多，就能预防大量心脏病发作和中风)”讲述了血压下降相对于个体可能没有太大影响，但是在人口水平上，却能够预防大量心脏病和中风，接下来讲述了例子“For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.(例如，2018年的一项研究发现，在美国中年人中，平均收缩压降低2毫米汞柱，每年可以预防12,000多次心脏病发作和7,000多次中风)”，由此推知，这个例子是用来说明血压降低的益处的。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise.(然而，如果瑜伽鼓励久坐不动的人运动，它可能有助于降低血压)”可知，鼓励不爱运动的人做瑜伽可能有助于降低血压。故选B。 D Most stars are invisible against the overhead glare from city lights. At best, there is only a bit of the Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of a hundred billion stars dims (暗淡) to near-nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts. This is light pollution-human-generated light cast up into the heavens-causing the sky itself to glow and washing out the stars. Astronomers have known for years the situation is bad for observing stars, but it also has real and negative effects on the well-being of many living things-plants, animals and even human beings. More than 80 percent of humanity is affected by light pollution, their view of the skies being stolen away. All this extra light at night has a large effect on the life under it. Researchers have shown that it has negative impacts on many animals and plants; light pollution disturbs the great migrations of birds, the delicate blossoming of flowers, and even the courtship (求偶) of fireflies, etc. It affects humans as well, possibly causing insomnia (失眠) among many other health problems. So what can we do about our brightening skies? There is a lot already happening. Groups like the International Dark Sky Association, or IDA, advocate not for more lighting but for more intelligent lighting; smarter street lights that concentrate their light downward is one example. Because these lights offer more efficient light, they save energy, too, eventually paying for themselves. The IDA offers advice on how to contact local authorities to fix better equipment and create ordinances to lower pollution. Many cities in the United States and other countries are certified Dark Sky Communities (DSC), ones that have shown “exceptional devotion to the preservation of the night sky” by discouraging wasteful lighting practices. Many people don’t even know that they-and their children-are losing this cosmic (宇宙的) experience just over their heads. We need the dark night sky, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it’s still there every time the sun goes down. 12. How does the author organise Paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By following the order of time. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. What does the underlined word “ordinances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Surveys. B. Jobs. C. Wonders. D. Regulations. 14. What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the dark night sky. B. The urgency of having cosmic experience. C. The necessity of solving the problem of light pollution. D. Our children’s responsibility to fight light pollution. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Light Pollution Is Dimming Our View of the Sky B IDA Is Advocating Much Smarter Street Lights C. DSC Has Shown Devotion to Preserving the Night Sky D. The Applications of Intelligent Lighting Are Worldwide 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了研究发现光污染让星空愈发暗淡，而且情况越来越槽。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“All this extra light at night has a large effect on the life under it. Researchers have shown that it has negative impacts on many animals and plants; light pollution disturbs the great migrations of birds, the delicate blossoming of flowers, and even the courtship (求偶) of fireflies, etc. It affects humans as well, possibly causing insomnia (失眠) among many other health problems. (所有这些夜间额外的光线对光线下的生物有很大的影响。研究人员已经证明，它对许多动物和植物有负面影响；光污染干扰了鸟类的大迁徙，影响了娇嫩的花朵盛开，甚至影响了萤火虫的求偶，等等。它也会影响人类，可能会导致失眠和其他许多健康问题。)”可知，本段主要讲光污染对生物造成的危害，并通过举例子的方式来说明这个观点。故选B。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“The IDA offers advice on how to contact local authorities (国际开发协会就如何联系地方当局提供建议)”中“local authorities”的提示可知，划线词所在的句子意思是“国际开发协会就如何联系地方当局修理更好的设备和制定法规以降低污染提供了建议。”，此处“ordinances”的含义是：规章制度。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Many people don’t even know that they-and their children-are losing this cosmic(宇宙的)experience just over their heads. We need the dark night sky, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it’s still there every time the sun goes down. (许多人甚至不知道他们和他们的孩子正在失去头顶上的这种宇宙体验。我们需要漆黑的夜空，我们所有人都有责任确保每次太阳下山时它仍然在那里。)”可知，最后一段强调解决光污染问题的必要性。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文以及文章第一段“Most stars are invisible against the overhead glare from city lights. At best, there is only a bit of the Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of a hundred billion stars dims(暗淡)to near-nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts. (大多数星星在城市灯光的照耀下是看不见的。往好了说，我们只能看到银河系的一小部分：在明亮的路灯和店面的映衬下，1000亿颗恒星的光芒加在一起，变得几乎为零。)”可知，本文主要讲述了由于强光的照射，大都数恒星我们都看不见了。由此可知，A项：Light Pollution Is Dimming Our View of the Sky (光污染使我们的天空变得暗淡。)为最佳标题。故选A。 Why We Hate the Feeling of Failure and How It Affects Us Loss aversion is the idea that a potential loss has greater weight in a person's mind than the possible gain. People seek to avoid failure and the negative feelings they expect will come from such a loss. ____16____. Marketers want to understand the emotions surrounding loss so they can word advertisements in a way that prompts consumers to feel they need to buy a product to avoid negative feelings. More recently, social scientists have turned their at tent on to how loss aversion can hinder people from performing in their daily lives.____17____. Sports and athletic performance was one of the first areas of focus. A study in May 2023 looked at how adult athletes were hindered by a fear of failure. It found that athletes who feared failure tended to approach an athletic event and appraise(评估) it for potential losses. Losses weren't just related to the final numbers on the scoreboard. Rather, some athletes approached a practice or a game and saw it as a potential to perform poorly and lose standing with their coach, teammates or fellow athletes.____18____Scholars are also considering how a fear of failure impacts academics. In a 2015 article, researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 33 studies that measured the relationship between procrastination and academic performance. Not surprisingly, procrastination was shown to decrease academic performance.____19____.Rather, this type of I'll-get to-it later mentality was a loss aversion strategy. When a student didn't feel confident or competent in completing a task, whether it was writing an essay or studying for an exam, they procrastinated to delay feeling like a failure. While our fear of loss may impact our mindset and whether or not we pursue something new, if we let that fear take hold, then we’ve already lost. There for, don’t let fear of failure keep you from trying something new. A. Researchers have examined how fear of failure can lead to-procrastination. B. The loss was seen as humiliating and something the athlete feared or wanted to avoid. C. Research has found this fear of failure drives people to stop pursuing their passions. D. However, the study found that it wasn't due to students prioritizing their social life or Netflix queue. E. Doubt has killed their dreams than failure ever will F. Loss a version has long been used to study consumer psychology. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了人们为什么讨厌失败感，并且说明了害怕失败对我们的影响。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Marketers want to understand the emotions surrounding loss so they can word advertisements in a way that prompts consumers to feel they need to buy a product to avoid negative feelings. (营销人员想要了解损失带来的情绪，这样他们就可以用一种方式来描述广告，促使消费者觉得他们需要购买一种产品，以避免负面情绪。)”可知，此处强调市场营销人员想要理解与损失相关的情绪，以便在广告中用一种方式来引导消费者产生购买某种产品的需求，以避免负面情绪，此处为消费心理方面的一个例子来说明失败给我们带来的影响。F选项“Loss a version has long been used to study consumer psychology.(损失规避一直被用来研究消费者心理学。)”概括本段段旨，提出从消费心理学的角度来产生失败给我们带来的影响，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据前文“More recently, social scientists have turned their at tent on to how loss aversion can hinder people from performing in their daily lives.(最近，社会科学家把他们的研究转向了损失厌恶是如何阻碍人们在日常生活中表现的。)”可知，此处是从社会科学家的角度来研究损失或者失败给人们带来的影响即阻碍人们在生活中的表现，后文应该对此进行详细举例或者说明。C选项“Research has found this fear of failure drives people to stop pursuing their passions.(研究发现，对失败的恐惧驱使人们停止追求自己的激情。)”与前文呼应，指出对失败的恐惧阻碍了人们追求自己的激，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Rather, some athletes approached a practice or a game and saw it as a potential to perform poorly and lose standing with their coach, teammates or fellow athletes.(相反，一些运动员在进行训练或比赛时，认为这可能会让他们表现不佳，在教练、队友或其他运动员面前失去地位。)”可知，运动员是害怕失败的，因为运动场中的失败会影响他们的运动表现以及可能会让他们在教练、队友和其他运动员面前失去地位。B选项“The loss was seen as humiliating and something the athlete feared or wanted to avoid.(失败被视为耻辱，是运动员害怕或想要避免的事情。)”承接前文，继续强调运动员害怕失败的原因即他们视失败为耻辱的事情，故运动员想要规避失败，符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Not surprisingly, procrastination was shown to decrease academic performance.(毫不奇怪，拖延被证明会降低学业表现。)”以及“Rather, this type of I'll-get to-it later mentality was a loss aversion strategy. (相反，这种“等会儿再说”的态度被证明是一种“损失厌恶”的策略。)”可知，拓展会被证明是降低学业表现的。后文具体指出拖延之所以降低学生成绩表现的根本原因是——“损失厌恶”，而不是其他的原因。D选项“However, the study found that it wasn't due to students prioritizing their social life or Netflix queue.( 然而，研究发现，这并不是因为学生优先考虑他们的社交生活或Netflix queue。)”与后文构成转折关系，强调学生成绩下降的原因不是在于他们优先考虑自己的社交生活或Netflix queue（一种流媒体平台），而是他们选择的是“损失厌恶”的策略造成的。故选D。 三、完形填空 Do you often feel tired in the morning even though you’ve been in bed for seven or eight hours the night before.

During this session,volunteers patiently instructed how to apply basic mobile phone apps for daily usage, such as online communication, hospital appointment and cashless payments. What impressed us most was that some volunteers prepared user-friendly manuals with visual aid to foster comprehension. When Granny Li broke into a radiant smile after knowing how to chat with families online, I was overwhelmed with a deep sense of satisfaction. This activity endows me with a new perspective of the essence of technology.

Following that performance, Grace Sun felt inspired to organize more music events for seniors in her community. To that end, at age 16, she started a school service club to organize and arrange musical events for seniors in care centers, hospitals and senior living homes. In 2023, that club became a non-profit organization called Melodies for Remedies. “That performance really touched me, and I decided to contact that senior home and many around San Diego County area, and we started online concerts with a few close friends,” she said. Grace wanted to uplift the elders in her community who often experience loneliness and isolation. She first gathered a group of peers and persuaded them to perform for seniors in both virtual and in-person concerts. The concerts received so much positive feedback from the appreciative seniors and residential managers that Grace decided to continue the program. Someone then shared a study with Grace about how music therapy could potentially improve cognitive (认知) condition of people with Alzheimer’s disease, which motivated her to include additional performances for elders dealing with cognitive decline. The new performances would get an adjustment in programming as well. In place of their usual classical songs, the young musicians played 1960s songs. The seniors with Alzheimer’s disease happily clapped and sang along with the familiar songs as the music brought back many good memories. “Music is a way that we can tap into their memories,” said Uriel Perez, volunteer services coordinator for the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers. “We try to bring our participants to the era they are most comfortable with, where they have most of their memories. To have music from that era brings them joy and happiness. It also brings them memories. I think that is pretty magical.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To expand her vision, Grace decided to turn her club into an organization named Melodies for Remedies. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grace’s team of student musician volunteers has grown to more than 100 participants. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To expand her vision, Grace decided to turn her club into an organization named Melodies for Remedies. The group is dedicated to bringing healing, comfort and joy to communities through performing arts. The organization connects senior groups to student musicians who are eager to display their talents to an engaged audience. The organization also strives to increase people’s awareness of cognitive diseases and to raise fund for music therapy research and treatment. “Through benefit concerts, I hope the music we bring can touch more people’ s hearts and bring joy to everyone involved in the program,” shared Grace. Grace’s team of student musician volunteers has grown to more than 100 participants. The group has hosted50 large-scale concerts and music therapy sessions nationwide. Grace brought together two very different groups-student musicians and seniors — to foster a sense of community and to spread joy. She encourages musicians to use their talents and passion as a unique way to help others in emotional need. Her action is a great example of the value of connection. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个高中生兼古典钢琴家Grace Sun，在学校为老年人举办的一场才艺表演中，深刻体会到音乐能够传递快乐并建立社区联系的力量。受此启发，她决定在社区中为老年人组织更多的音乐活动。于是，16岁的她创立了一个学校服务俱乐部，专门为养老院、医院和老年住宅的老年人组织音乐活动。Grace通过组织线上和线下的音乐会，为社区中经常感到孤独和孤立的老年人带去欢乐。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“为了扩大她的愿景，Grace决定将她的俱乐部转变为一个名为“Melodies for Remedies”的组织。”可知，第一段可描写成立该组织的目的。 ②由第二段首句内容“Grace的学生音乐家志愿者团队已经发展到100多名成员。”可知，第二段可描写该组织所做的事情以及带来的影响。 2.续写线索：组织成立目的——Grace的想法——举办音乐会——影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.致力于：be dedicated to/devote oneself to ②.渴望做某事：be eager to/long for ③.鼓励某人做某事：encourage sb to do sth/inspire sb to do sth 情绪类 ①.触动：touch/move ②.快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] The organization connects senior groups to student musicians who are eager to display their talents to an engaged audience.（运用了who引导定语从句） [高分句型2] Grace brought together two very different groups-student musicians and seniors — to foster a sense of community and to spread joy.（运用了动词不定式作目的状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省常德市汉寿县第一中学2025—2026学年 高二上学期1月月考英语试卷 一、听力选择题 1．Who got hurt in the accident?

Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks. The earliest straw-weaving (草编) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC). Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says. From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique. 1. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products? A. Their major uses. B. Their cultural value. C. Their historic origins. D. Their manufacturing process. 2. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui? A. Making the artworks vivid. B. Drawing sketches on paper. C. Selecting suitable materials. D. Preserving finished products. 3. Which of the following aspects is not mentioned in the article？ A The history of straw-weaving. B. The shortcomings of straw-weaving. C. The future development trend of straw-weaving. D. The process of making straw-weaving. 4. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph? A. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers. B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople. C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques. D. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture. B Harry Potter lovers around the world may want to thank Alice Newton. She was eight years old when her father brought home a manuscript for her to read. At the time, he was working for Bloomsbury Publishing. After reading the manuscript, Alice wrote a note to her father: "The excitement in this book made me feel warm inside," she wrote. "I think it is probably one of the best books an 8 or 9 year old could read." Based in part on Alice's comments, Bloomsbury went on to publish "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Alice's note to her father is part of the British Library's new exhibition, "Harry Potter: A History of Magic." It celebrates the 20th anniversary of the publication of J.K. Rowling's first book about Harry and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in 1997, Bloomsbury sent just 500 copies to stores in Britain and another 500 copies to British libraries. Now Harry and his friends are known worldwide. The exhibit at the British Library in February includes Rowling's outline for her books, her artwork of its characters and a map of the Hogwarts School. It also includes early versions of Rowling's books that were rejected by other publishers. The show has two rooms. They are divided up based on the subjects offered at Hogwarts. Areas include Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Each area describes the stories and beliefs that Rowling included in her books. Included in the exhibition are discussions of alchemy the European traditions that led to modern chemistry, and the Ripley Scroll--a six-meter-long document from the 1500s. It describes how to make a Philosopher's Stone. The British Library has already sold about 30,000 tickets to the exhibit—the most advance tickets ever sold for a British Library exhibition.

Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans. Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people. To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure (舒张压) that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t. This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year. Based on the new study, we can’t say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn’t be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise. “The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly,” an expert says. 8. Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise? A. It is easier for beginners to learn. B. It is more effective in keeping fit. C. People are more likely to stick to it. D. People can find partners more easily. 9. Which of the following can be inferred from the new study? A. The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration. B. All these participants were of the same age and gender. C. The study analysed different kinds of exercise. D. The researchers studied the participants’ daily routine. 10. What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4? A. The results are far from satisfactory. B. Lowering blood pressure is quite easy. C. Blood pressure reduction is beneficial. D. Doing yoga once a week is meaningful. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain. B. Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure. C. Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people. D. The benefits of practising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines. D Most stars are invisible against the overhead glare from city lights. At best, there is only a bit of the Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of a hundred billion stars dims (暗淡) to near-nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts. This is light pollution-human-generated light cast up into the heavens-causing the sky itself to glow and washing out the stars. Astronomers have known for years the situation is bad for observing stars, but it also has real and negative effects on the well-being of many living things-plants, animals and even human beings. More than 80 percent of humanity is affected by light pollution, their view of the skies being stolen away. All this extra light at night has a large effect on the life under it. Researchers have shown that it has negative impacts on many animals and plants; light pollution disturbs the great migrations of birds, the delicate blossoming of flowers, and even the courtship (求偶) of fireflies, etc. It affects humans as well, possibly causing insomnia (失眠) among many other health problems. So what can we do about our brightening skies? There is a lot already happening. Groups like the International Dark Sky Association, or IDA, advocate not for more lighting but for more intelligent lighting; smarter street lights that concentrate their light downward is one example. Because these lights offer more efficient light, they save energy, too, eventually paying for themselves. The IDA offers advice on how to contact local authorities to fix better equipment and create ordinances to lower pollution. Many cities in the United States and other countries are certified Dark Sky Communities (DSC), ones that have shown “exceptional devotion to the preservation of the night sky” by discouraging wasteful lighting practices. Many people don’t even know that they-and their children-are losing this cosmic (宇宙的) experience just over their heads. We need the dark night sky, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it’s still there every time the sun goes down. 12. How does the author organise Paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By following the order of time. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. What does the underlined word “ordinances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Surveys. B. Jobs. C. Wonders. D. Regulations. 14. What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the dark night sky. B. The urgency of having cosmic experience. C. The necessity of solving the problem of light pollution. D. Our children’s responsibility to fight light pollution. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Light Pollution Is Dimming Our View of the Sky B. IDA Is Advocating Much Smarter Street Lights C. DSC Has Shown Devotion to Preserving the Night Sky D. The Applications of Intelligent Lighting Are Worldwide Why We Hate the Feeling of Failure and How It Affects Us Loss aversion is the idea that a potential loss has greater weight in a person's mind than the possible gain. People seek to avoid failure and the negative feelings they expect will come from such a loss. ____16____. Marketers want to understand the emotions surrounding loss so they can word advertisements in a way that prompts consumers to feel they need to buy a product to avoid negative feelings. More recently, social scientists have turned their at tent on to how loss aversion can hinder people from performing in their daily lives.____17____. Sports and athletic performance was one of the first areas of focus. A study in May 2023 looked at how adult athletes were hindered by a fear of failure. It found that athletes who feared failure tended to approach an athletic event and appraise(评估) it for potential losses. Losses weren't just related to the final numbers on the scoreboard. Rather, some athletes approached a practice or a game and saw it as a potential to perform poorly and lose standing with their coach, teammates or fellow athletes.____18____Scholars are also considering how a fear of failure impacts academics. In a 2015 article, researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 33 studies that measured the relationship between procrastination and academic performance. Not surprisingly, procrastination was shown to decrease academic performance.____19____.Rather, this type of I'll-get to-it later mentality was a loss aversion strategy. When a student didn't feel confident or competent in completing a task, whether it was writing an essay or studying for an exam, they procrastinated to delay feeling like a failure. While our fear of loss may impact our mindset and whether or not we pursue something new, if we let that fear take hold, then we’ve already lost. There for, don’t let fear of failure keep you from trying something new. A. Researchers have examined how fear of failure can lead to-procrastination. B. The loss was seen as humiliating and something the athlete feared or wanted to avoid. C. Research has found this fear of failure drives people to stop pursuing their passions. D. However, the study found that it wasn't due to students prioritizing their social life or Netflix queue. E. Doubt has killed their dreams than failure ever will F. Loss a version has long been used to study consumer psychology. 三、完形填空 Do you often feel tired in the morning even though you’ve been in bed for seven or eight hours the night before.

Following that performance, Grace Sun felt inspired to organize more music events for seniors in her community. To that end, at age 16, she started a school service club to organize and arrange musical events for seniors in care centers, hospitals and senior living homes. In 2023, that club became a non-profit organization called Melodies for Remedies. “That performance really touched me, and I decided to contact that senior home and many around San Diego County area, and we started online concerts with a few close friends,” she said. Grace wanted to uplift the elders in her community who often experience loneliness and isolation. She first gathered a group of peers and persuaded them to perform for seniors in both virtual and in-person concerts. The concerts received so much positive feedback from the appreciative seniors and residential managers that Grace decided to continue the program. Someone then shared a study with Grace about how music therapy could potentially improve cognitive (认知的) condition of people with Alzheimer’s disease, which motivated her to include additional performances for elders dealing with cognitive decline. The new performances would get an adjustment in programming as well. In place of their usual classical songs, the young musicians played 1960s songs. The seniors with Alzheimer’s disease happily clapped and sang along with the familiar songs as the music brought back many good memories. “Music is a way that we can tap into their memories,” said Uriel Perez, volunteer services coordinator for the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers. “We try to bring our participants to the era they are most comfortable with, where they have most of their memories. To have music from that era brings them joy and happiness. It also brings them memories. I think that is pretty magical.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To expand her vision, Grace decided to turn her club into an organization named Melodies for Remedies. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grace’s team of student musician volunteers has grown to more than 100 participants. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
