Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 1. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 2. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 3. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国冬季即将举办的四场跑步赛事，包括赛事日期、特色、注意事项及官方网站，为跑步爱好者提供赛事参考。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December”部分中的“Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause.(从乱糟糟的抽屉里找出头灯，参加这场夜间跑步或步行公益活动。)”可知，这场赛事是夜间举办的，其官方网站为sueryder. org。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December”部分中的“The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.(组织者优先考虑找到一条好的路线，而不是精确测量，所以这三场比赛与它们所声明的距离之间的关系相当松散。)”可知，Mapledurham赛事的独特之处在于其灵活的比赛距离。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.(即将到来的冬季为那些寻求冒险或团队精神的人提供了英国各地最精彩、最快、最艰难、最令人愉快的跑步赛事。)”以及下文对四个跑步赛事的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了英国即将到来的冬季跑步赛事，包括赛事名称、日期、特点以及相关信息查询网址，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“赛事指南”专栏。故选D。 B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7. What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了七十多岁的作者和邻居唐娜因觉得椅子和桶坐着不舒服，网购并组装了一张长椅，这张长椅不仅成了二人午后聊天的好去处，还吸引了其他邻居，被赋予了多个名字，展现了邻里间的联结。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现椅子和桶坐起来并不舒服，这些远远不够。唐娜决定我们需要一张长椅)”以及第二段末句“What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，这张长椅非常适合两个七十多岁的人在傍晚继续聊天)”可知，换掉座椅是为了获得更舒适的、适合聊天的座位。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想，名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地待在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具，不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子，正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天，我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬，我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时，惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候，唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子，我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短，这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝，春花即将在暖阳中绽放，我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断，长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅，随后吸引了其他邻居，被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字，成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置，春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此，长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情，成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。 C Picture this: You’re sitting at your desk, finally getting to the task that has been put off for ages. You have put your phone in your bag. Despite the urge to check it once in a while, you feel focused. Do you think you’re having a productive time? Think again. We tend to believe putting our phone face-side down on our desk or in our bag is enough to prevent us from being distracted (干扰). However, a recent study reveals that the mere presence of your phone, even if it’s out of sight, can be a distraction to your brain - a concept known as “brain drain”. To test the “brain drain” theory, 548 college students at the University of Texas were divided into three groups and asked to complete a set of brain performance tests, with their phones facing down on their desk, in their bag, or outside the room. Researchers found that the group with their phones in another room scored significantly higher. An analysis of 22 studies extends this line of research, indicating the mere presence of smartphones creates a “brain drain” and that the farther away they are from the users, the easier it is for them to concentrate. Why? Our brains can only focus on a small amount of information at once, and need to prioritize what is the most ever-present and relevant, like smartphones. In fact, we engage with the device an average of more than 150 times a day, which means we are rarely focused on a task for more than a few minutes without our attention being divided. This over-reliance on smartphones trains our brain to be inattentive, leaving less space for other tasks. As our phones constantly battle for our attention, how can we prevent them from negatively impacting our performance at work? A good starting point is to educate ourselves on the impact of phone usage on our brains so we can make more informed decisions when working on a task. To further improve our productivity, we should also remember to place our phone outside the room, rather than simply turn it upside down or silence it right beside us. 8. What does the author open the text with? A. A heated discussion. B. A vividly-described painting. C. A well-known theory. D. A common misunderstanding. 9. Why is the analysis of 22 studies cited? A. To confirm previous findings. B. To analyze studies’ outcomes. C. To compare research methods. D. To track subjects’ performances. 10. What causes a “brain drain” according to the text? A. The lack of concentration training. B. The limited capacity of our brains. C. The overload of online information. D. The mindful use of digital devices. 11. How can we avoid distractions from phones at work? A. By reducing our phone’s usage. B. By switching smartphones to silent mode. C. By covering our phone’s screen. D. By separating work zones and phone zones. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了手机在视线外也会分散注意力，即“脑力流失”现象，并提出应对措施。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Picture this: You’re sitting at your desk, finally getting to the task that has been put off for ages. You have put your phone in your bag. Despite the urge to check it once in a while, you feel focused. Do you think you’re having a productive time? (想象一下：你坐在办公桌前，终于开始处理拖延已久的任务。你把手机放在了包里。尽管偶尔有查看手机的冲动，但你感觉很专注。你认为你度过了一段高效的时光吗？)”以及第二段中“We tend to believe putting our phone face-side down on our desk or in our bag is enough to prevent us from being distracted (干扰). However, a recent study reveals that the mere presence of your phone, even if it’s out of sight, can be a distraction to your brain - a concept known as “brain drain”. (我们往往认为把手机正面朝下放在桌子上或包里就足以防止我们分心。然而，最近的一项研究表明，仅仅是手机的存在，即使它不在视线范围内，也会分散你的大脑注意力 —— 这一概念被称为“脑力消耗”。)”可知，作者开篇描述了一个人们通常认为把手机放起来就不会分心的常见情况，而实际并非如此，所以作者是以一个常见的误解开篇的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“An analysis of 22 studies extends this line of research, indicating the mere presence of smartphones creates a “brain drain” and that the farther away they are from the users, the easier it is for them to concentrate. (一项对22项研究的分析扩展了这一研究方向，表明智能手机的存在本身就会造成“脑力流失”，而且它们离用户越远，用户就越容易集中注意力。)”可知，引用对22项研究的分析是为了证实先前的发现，即手机的存在本身就会分散注意力。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Our brains can only focus on a small amount of information at once, and need to prioritize what is the most ever-present and relevant, like smartphones. In fact, we engage with the device an average of more than 150 times a day, which means we are rarely focused on a task for more than a few minutes without our attention being divided. This over-reliance on smartphones trains our brain to be inattentive, leaving less space for other tasks. (我们的大脑一次只能专注于少量信息，并且需要优先处理那些最常出现且与之相关的事物，比如智能手机。事实上，我们平均每天会使用手机超过150次，这意味着我们很少能在专注于一项任务几分钟以上而不分心。这种对智能手机的过度依赖让我们的大脑变得注意力不集中，从而留给其他任务的精力就更少了。)”可知，大脑的有限容量导致“脑力流失”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To further improve our productivity, we should also remember to place our phone outside the room, rather than simply turn it upside down or silence it right beside us. (为了进一步提高我们的工作效率，我们还应该记住把手机放在房间外面，而不是简单地把它倒过来或放在我们旁边静音。)”可知，为了在工作中避免手机带来的干扰，我们应该将工作区和手机区分开。故选D。 D Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split. There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like-but this isn’t the only way to do philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and song. There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep. One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve— they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with. Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics (形而上学) of race—an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can take on these questions. You might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, you might think that races are unreal— that they’re more like leprechauns (一种魔法精灵) than they are like Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”). A great example of a story taking on race is George S. Schuyler’s novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin— darkening it so as to look more White. Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with. 12. What is the impression formal philosophy leaves on people according to Paragraph 1? A Dull. B. Engaging. C. Thought-provoking. D. Depressing. 13. Which is the distinction of philosophical stories? A. They give precise conceptual analysis. B. They interpret ideas formally and clearly. C. They seldom express conflicting ideas. D. They stimulate interest and critical thinking. 14. Which category might “Black No More” in Paragraph 5 fall into? A. Racial issues caused by skin colors. B. A society view on race and self-image. C. Black people accepted by the white society. D. The origin of sunbathing among white people. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Stories Made Easy B. Positions in Philosophy C. Stories to Think with D. Nature of Philosophical Writing 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了“非学术场景中，哲学思想可通过故事传递，且故事更易吸引读者”这一观点。这类故事通过引人入胜的情节吸引读者关注，不直白呈现观点，而是需要读者解读并思考其中的矛盾思想，最终让抽象的哲学概念变得生动易懂，成为“可供思考的故事”。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way.(哲学家们向来以表达方式枯燥乏味而饱受诟病。)”可知，哲学给人的印象是无趣的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep.没有什么比一个精彩的故事更能吸引人的注意力了，而且有一些很棒的哲学故事能够令人愉悦并引起共鸣，而不是让读者昏昏欲睡。)”提到哲学故事能吸引注意并令人愉悦且参与其中；第三段“One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve—they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.(这其中最重要的一点是，与形式哲学不同的是，故事并不会把自己的意思挂在明面上——它们需要解释，而且常常表达出相互矛盾的观点，让读者纠结。)”强调故事需要解读并包含矛盾观点供读者思考。因此推知，哲学故事的独特之处在于激发兴趣与批判性思考。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读第五段内容对于“Black No More”的概述，结合关键句“In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics ... White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are ‘really’ White from those who merely appear to be White… which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin—darkening it so as to look more White.(在这本书中，一位名叫Crookman的黑人科学家发明了一种能让黑人从外表上看不出与白人区别的手术。成千上万的非裔美国人涌向Crookman的“黑人不复存在”诊所……白人种族主义者再也无法区分那些“真正”的白人和那些只是看起来像白人的人……这引发了一股晒黑皮肤的潮流——晒黑皮肤以使自己看起来更像真正的白人。)”可知，小说中“黑人通过手术变白人”，“白人种族主义者无法区分”，“新白人晒黑皮肤”等情节，讲述了“种族是外表肤色建构的”和“通过改变自我形象（肤色）适应社会”的社会观，应是属于“关于种族与自我形象的社会观念”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章内容可知，文章最后一段内容为主旨，“Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with.(像这样富有哲理的故事能让那些技术性作品变得更加生动。它们是供人们思考的故事。)”，即，文章主要介绍了哲学的抽象而复杂的理念往往是通过一个个有趣的小故事的形式体现的，它会启发读者思考，所以C项“Stories to Think with (可供思考的故事)”是本文最好的标题。故选C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。 Don’t Rush Through Books I love books. I love reading. I do it as much as I can. I tell people they should do the same. But when I hear that people are using apps to try to read more in less time, I just shake my head. Guys, you’re doing it wrong! Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. ___16___ Unfortunately, reading always falls victim to seeking productivity shortcuts. People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. Actually, such an act tends to be penny wise and pound foolish. ___17___ Simply put: You don’t need to squeeze reading into the in-between moments of your life; you need to squeeze out the non-essentials and make reading, and reading well, the priority. Once on a flight, I was surrounded by businessmen — the type of people who would say things like “I’m too busy to read”. And what were they doing on this flight? Watching videos, texting, or chatting. I was the only one reading. In two and a half hours, I got all the way through the book. But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. ___18___ The book was about a man’s attempt to retract Coronado’s expedition on horseback. I was transported from that plane to the desert. I was fully engaged. We have to remember: we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. Always, ___19___ The time you spend reading them, the time you carved out and gave to the process — that’s what you’ll remember at the end of your life. That is the prize. ___20___ They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority. And from that, everything follows: the more you read, the better you get, and the more you want to read. They don’t rush. They savor. And so should you. A. It was those quiet, reflective hours. B. You’re not supposed to rush through it. C. Never miss the chance to win the prize. D. It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading. E. All great readers share one rule: they value reading. F. When I am reading, I feel like someone else understands me. G. What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文，作者批驳“速读”风气，主张把阅读当作享受与意义之旅，提出“质量重于数量”“调整生活优先级”“让阅读成为习惯”等观点，并通过自身飞行途中沉浸阅读的实例加以佐证。 【16题详解】 上文“Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. (阅读就像吃饭、约会和旅行。关键在于其带来的愉悦与意义。)”强调阅读应被享受，B项“You’re not supposed to rush through it. (你不该匆匆读完它。)”直接回应“速读”错误，也与本段作者“摇头”态度一致，故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. (人们可能为了省十分钟而在饭桌上匆匆读书，却愿意飞越全国参加一个毫无成果的三天会议。)”批判本末倒置，G项“What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities. (真正需要改变的不是阅读速度，而是日常优先级。)”指出症结在于“优先级”错位，承上启下，故选G。 【18题详解】 上文“But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. (但重要并不是读完一本书。)”指出读书不要贪快，A项“It was those quiet, reflective hours. (正是那些安静、沉思的时光。)”突出“过程”价值，故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. (我们不会在生命终点因匆匆读完尽可能多的书而获奖。记住：质量胜过数量。)”再次强调“质胜于量”，D项“It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading. (你最终读了多少并不重要。)”与“quality over quantity”同义反复，故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的粉色房子因社交媒体走红后，不断有游客和摄制组前来打卡拍照，扰乱了作者的生活，作者从最初的烦躁、反抗逐渐变得释然，最终学会包容。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在阳光明媚的周末，成群的人经常聚集在我家门外。A. complain抱怨；B. gather聚集；C. applaud鼓掌；D. parade游行。根据下文中的“groups of tourists came with cameras(成群的游客带着相机前来)”可推断，人群聚集在我家门外。故选B。 【22题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：有些人歉意地笑了笑便匆匆离开；另一些人则站定不动，直到拍出完美的照片才肯走。A. sympathetically同情地；B. proudly骄傲地；C. apologetically歉意地；D. broadly广泛地。与下文“others stand firm, refusing to move(另一些人执意停留)”形成对比，体现不同游客的行为态度。结合生活常识可推断，未经允许在他人家门口拍照，部分人会带有歉意。故选C。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一次，一个摄制组用沉重的三脚架堵住了门口，当我举起手机想拍他们时，一个男人皱起了眉头说：“不好意思，你介意吗？”A. guarded守卫；B. decorated装饰；C. marked标记；D. blocked堵塞。根据后文“heavy tripods(三脚架)”可知，由于三脚架体积较大，摄制组将其放在门口的行为会堵住门口，影响通行。故选D。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一次，一个摄制组用沉重的三脚架堵住了门口，当我举起手机想拍他们时，一个男人皱起了眉头说：“不好意思，你介意吗？”A. nodded点头；B. grinned露齿笑；C. frowned皱眉；D. bowed鞠躬。结合作者“lifted my phone to record them(举起手机想拍他们)”这个动作以及男人说的话“Excuse me, do you mind?(不好意思，你介意吗？)”可知，男人说这句话是带有不满的制止，面部表情会呈现皱眉，体现其不满的情绪。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：起初，几个路人停下来拍照，但他们的好奇心并无恶意。A. annoying令人恼怒的；B. harmless无害的；C. precious珍贵的；D. childish幼稚的。根据后文中的“Within weeks, groups of tourists came with cameras, and even clothes for quick costume changes.(几周内，成群的游客带着相机前来，甚至还带着便于快速换装的衣服)”可推断，起初路人的拍照并未对作者造成实质性困扰，因此这种好奇心是无恶意的。故选B。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：后来，今年年初，社交媒体上的一条帖子改变了一切。A. changed改变；B. started开始；C. shared分享；D. assumed假定。根据前文“a few passers-by paused for photos(几个路人停下来拍照)”以及后文中的“Within weeks, groups of tourists came with cameras, and even clothes for quick costume changes.(几周内，成群的游客带着相机前来，甚至还带着便于快速换装的衣服)”可推断，拍照人数和规模出现了巨大变化，这种场景的转变是由社交媒体的帖子引发的，因此该帖子改变了一切。故选A。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我原本安静的街道变成了一个舞台。A. market市场；B. shelter庇护所；避难所；C. stage舞台；D. exhibition展览会。根据后文中的“Within weeks, groups of tourists came with cameras, and even clothes for quick costume changes.(几周内，成群的游客带着相机前来，甚至还带着便于快速换装的衣服)”可知，人们在街道上换装、摆拍、拍摄，将街道当作了拍照的舞台。故选C。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我拉上窗帘，与人争执，甚至报了警，可人流却从未停止。A. argued争论；B. prayed祈祷；C. wept哭泣；D. hesitated犹豫。根据前文“shut the curtains(拉上窗帘)”和“called the police(报警)”是作者一系列反抗行为，选项中的argued可以与拉窗帘、报警形成并列的应对行为。故选A。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：后来有一天早上，熬了一整夜工作后回家，我看到一群人调整灯光和角度，换好衣服，等待着完美的黎明。A. dusk黄昏；B. dawn黎明；C. noon中午；D. midnight午夜。根据前文“one morning(一天早上)”和后文中的“the rising sun(初生的太阳)”可知，人们等待的是黎明时刻。故选B。 30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当相机最终按下快门时，我的粉色房子在镜头里熠熠生辉，与初升的太阳完美相融。A. clicked(相机)按下快门；B. worked运转；C. dropped掉落；D. cracked破裂。根据前文“the camera(相机)”和后文“in the frame(镜头)”可推断，相机的核心动作之一是按下快门来完成拍摄。故选A。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当相机最终按下快门时，我的粉色房子在镜头里熠熠生辉，与初升的太阳完美相融。A. compared对比；B. blurred使模糊；C. mixed混合；D. blended 融合。根据前文“pink house(粉色房子)”和后文“the rising sun(初升的太阳)”体现视觉效果，选项中的blended可以与with搭配，表示“与……相融”，体现视觉上的融合。故选D。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：突然，我感到一种莫名的平静。 A. typical典型的；B. random随机的；C. lasting持久的；D. strange莫名的。结合前文中的“even called the police(甚至报过警)”可知，作者一直处于烦躁、对抗的情绪中，本句的calm与前文的情绪形成巨大反差，可推断作者从未想过自己变得平静，这种平静来得猝不及防，让人觉得莫名。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：从那以后，我学会了退让。A. give up放弃；B. turn away赶走；C. step aside退让；D. hold on坚持。根据后文“My neighbours still complain, but I no longer argue.(我的邻居们仍在抱怨，但我不再争论了)”可知，作者学会了退让，不再过分计较游客的行为。故选C。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：对我来说，这栋粉色的房子对其他人而言不仅仅是一个背景。A. camera相机；B. background背景；C. home家；D. souvenir纪念品。根据前文中的“my pink house stood glowing in the frame(我那粉色的房子在镜头中熠熠生辉)”可知，在拍照时房子是人们镜头里的背景，这是他人对房子的定位。故选B。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：它是我的家，我的故事——一个在成千上万张照片中永存的故事。A. lives on永存；B. shows off炫耀；C. fades away逐渐消失；D. breaks out爆发。根据前文“my story(我的故事)” 和后文“in thousands of photos(成千上万张照片)”可知，照片会将作者与房子的故事留存下来。故选A。 第二节（共10小题，每小题1. 5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡上。 The AI revolution is just starting, ____36____ it seems the hair care industry is already using artificial intelligence to automate the hair-washing process in hair salons. According to several Chinese news outlets, AI-powered hair-washing devices have been spotted at hair salons in various districts of China’s Guangdong Province, with some ____37____ (refer) to their growing popularity as an “AI-shampooing craze”. The ____38____ (innovation) machines reportedly rely on infrared sensors to detect the user’s scalp (头皮) and then select the right shampoo and shampooing method ____39____ (base) on the customer’s hair type. According to a hair salon owner in Tianhe District, the AI-shampooing machines feature several built-in washing modes, like speed wash, normal, extra time, or water shower, as well as three different scalp massage intensity settings. The machines also have different modes for long and short hair clients. When the automated service ____40____ (launch), the price for an AI-shampooing session was 9.9 yuan ($1.35), ____41____ now has almost doubled to 19 yuan ($2.60) because of its popularity. A normal hair washing session takes just 13 minutes. ____42____ their growing popularity in China, AI-powered shampooing machines have been getting mixed reviews from users. Some complain that the scalp massage is too painful, and others claim that they don’t do a very good job. “I tried it and it’s useless. My scalp hurts,” one person commented on Weibo ____43____ (public). “I’ve tried it. It just sprays bubbles and rinses with water, but it can’t even reach the back of my head, and it’s not clean enough. I have to do it manually,” someone else wrote. ____44____ (criticise) aside, everyone agrees that, for such ____45____ low price, AI-shampooing machines are at least worth a try. 【答案】36. but 37. referring 38. innovative 39. based 40. was launched 41. which 42. Despite 43. publicly 44. Criticism##Criticisms 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美发行业率先在美发沙龙中运用人工智能实现洗头流程的自动化，讲述了广州等地出现的AI 洗头设备的工作原理、定价变化以及用户的不同评价。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：人工智能革命才刚刚开始，但美发行业似乎已经在沙龙中使用人工智能实现洗头过程的自动化了。由于“The AI revolution is just starting(人工智能革命才刚刚开始)”和“the hair care industry is already using artificial intelligence to automate the hair-washing process in hair salons(美发行业已经在沙龙中使用人工智能实现洗头过程的自动化)”之间存在句意上的转折关系，连词but符合要求。故填but。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据中国多家媒体报道，人工智能洗头设备出现在中国广东省各地的美发沙龙中，一些媒体还将其日益增长的人气称为“AI洗头热潮”。本句有谓语动词have been spotted，且所填词前面无并列连词，括号里的refer是动词，要将其变成非谓语动词。with some______ (refer) to their growing popularity as an “AI-shampooing craze”是with的独立主格结构作伴随状语，refer与some之间是逻辑上的主动关系，要用现在分词，refer的现在分词要双写r再加-ing。故填referring。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：据报道，这些创新的机器依靠红外传感器检测用户的头皮，然后根据顾客的发质选择合适的洗发水和洗头方式。所填词作定语修饰名词machines，要将名词innovation变成形容词innovative。故填innovative。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据报道，这些创新的机器依靠红外传感器检测用户的头皮，然后根据顾客的发质选择合适的洗发水和洗头方式。本句有谓语动词rely on和select，且所填词前无并列连词，括号里的base作动词，要将其变成非谓语动词。由于base与the right shampoo and shampooing method 之间是逻辑上的被动关系，要用过去分词作后置定语，故填based。 【40题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：当这项自动化服务推出时，一次AI 洗头的价格是9.9元（1.35美元），但由于其受欢迎程度，现在价格几乎翻了一番，达到19元（2.60美元）。所填词在句中作谓语，主语the automated service 与launch之间是被动关系，“推出服务”是发生在过去的动作，用一般过去时的被动语态。主语是单数名词，be动词用was。故填was launched。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当这项自动化服务推出时，一次AI洗头的价格是9.9元（1.35美元），如今因其受欢迎程度，价格几乎翻了一番，达到19元（2.60美元）。________now has almost doubled to 19 yuan ($2.60) because of its popularity是关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个主句the price for an AI-shampooing session was 9.9 yuan，关系词在该从句中作主语，要用关系代词which。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管人工智能洗头机在中国越来越受欢迎，但用户对其评价褒贬不一。根据空格后的名词短语“their growing popularity(越来越受欢迎)”和后文的“AI-powered shampooing machines have been getting mixed reviews from users(人工智能驱动的洗发机得到了用户褒贬不一的评价)”可知，所填词表示“尽管”之意。所填词在句首接名词，要用介词，despite符合要求，首字母d要大写。故填Despite。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：有人在微博上公开评论道：“我试过了，没什么用，我的头皮很疼。” 根据空格前的动词commented可知，所填词是副词作状语修饰它，public的副词是publicly。故填publicly。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：抛开批评不谈，所有人都认为，以如此低的价格，人工智能洗头机至少值得一试。根据所填词后的副词aside(抛开)以及everyone agrees(每个人都同意)可知，所填词要用名词且含有“批评”之意。criticise的名词是criticism，既可以作不可数名词，又可以作可数名词。它的复数形式是criticisms，泛指各类批评，首字母c要大写。故填Criticism/Criticisms。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：抛开批评不谈，所有人都认为，以如此低的价格，人工智能洗头机至少值得一试。由于such a/an+形容词+单数可数名词是固定结构，low是以辅音音素开头的单词，price是单数可数名词，要用不定冠词a。故填a。 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文俱乐部将举办以“Body Language: A Mirror of Good Manners”为主题的演讲比赛。请写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 结合实例介绍肢体语言的运用； 2. 倡议合理使用肢体语言。 注意：1. 写作词数应为 80个词左右；2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear teachers and students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Dear teachers and students, Good morning/afternoon! Today, I’d like to share my views on the topic “Body Language: A Mirror of Good Manners”. Body language serves as a silent but powerful tool in communication, which directly mirrors the refinement of our manners. For instance, a genuine, warm smile coupled with a steady handshake can break down the barriers between strangers. In class, nodding gently in acknowledgement and maintaining eye contact with teachers show respect and attentiveness. On the contrary, folding arms tightly across the chest may convey a sense of indifference or even impoliteness. Therefore, we should use body language in an appropriate manner. We ought to be mindful of our subtle gestures and body postures at all times, and make necessary adjustments to align them with specific social contexts and occasions. Let us tap into the power of proper body language to showcase our good manners, thereby cultivating positive interpersonal relationships. Thanks for listening. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生围绕“肢体语言是礼貌的镜子”这一主题结合实例写一篇演讲稿。 详解】1.词汇积累 展示：show→demonstrate 尊重：respect→reverence 运用：use→employ 培养：cultivate→foster 2句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：For instance, a genuine, warm smile coupled with a steady handshake can break down the barriers between strangers. 同义句：For instance, a genuine, warm smile which is coupled with a steady handshake can break down the barriers between strangers. 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Body language serves as a silent but powerful tool in communication, which directly mirrors the refinement of our manners.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】In class, nodding gently in acknowledgement and maintaining eye contact with teachers show respect and attentiveness.(运用了动名词结构作主语) 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My younger sister Lily had always longed for a cat. Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 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。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy. Lily’s eyes reddened instantly; she knelt down, gently caressing Cloud’s cold fur and murmuring soothing words. My parents rushed to purchase pet medication, while I fetched a warm towel to wrap around its tiny frame. Throughout the day, we took turns attending to it — Lily fed it warm milk with patience, my father cleaned its litter box thoroughly, and my mother monitored its temperature at regular intervals. The awkward tension in the house gradually faded, giving way to a quiet sense of unity. By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. We would keep Cloud permanently. Those days of caring for the sick cat made us realize that pet ownership is not just about pleasure, but also about responsibility and mutual warmth. Cloud, now fully recovered, ran around the house cheerfully, leaping onto the sofa and curling up in Lily’s lap. My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud. I even found myself looking forward to coming home to its warm welcome. This little gray cat had not just chosen us, but also bound our family closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以照顾生病的小猫Cloud为线索展开，讲述了小猫Cloud 生病后一家人齐心协力照料它，在这个过程中家庭的隔阂逐渐消散，最终一家人决定永久收养Cloud，小猫也让家人之间的关系变得更加亲密的温馨故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天一大早，我们注意到克劳德生病了，还发着烧”可知，第一段可描写小猫生病后的虚弱状态，以及家人看到后各自的反应和立刻采取的照料行动，通过一系列细致的动作描写体现家人的关心。 ②由第二段首句内容“到周末时，我们一家人做出了一个决定”可知，第二段可描写一家人经过照料小猫的经历后做出的收养决定，以及小猫康复后的状态，家人对小猫态度的转变，最后点明小猫给家庭带来的改变和文章主旨。 2.续写线索：发现小猫生病——家人各施其法照料——照料中家庭隔阂消散——周末一家人做出收养决定——小猫康复恢复活力——家人态度转变，家庭关系更亲密 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蜷缩：huddle/crouch/curl up tightly ②购买：purchase/acquire/procure ③跳跃：leap/spring/bound 情绪类 ①同情：sympathy/compassion ②欢快地：cheerfully/briskly 【点睛】【高分句型1】It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy.(运用了现在分词结构emitting作伴随状语和that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第一学期期末考试 2027届高二英语试题 （总分150分，时间120分钟） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 1. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 2. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 3. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7 What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. C Picture this: You’re sitting at your desk, finally getting to the task that has been put off for ages. You have put your phone in your bag. Despite the urge to check it once in a while, you feel focused. Do you think you’re having a productive time? Think again. We tend to believe putting our phone face-side down on our desk or in our bag is enough to prevent us from being distracted (干扰). However, a recent study reveals that the mere presence of your phone, even if it’s out of sight, can be a distraction to your brain - a concept known as “brain drain”. To test the “brain drain” theory, 548 college students at the University of Texas were divided into three groups and asked to complete a set of brain performance tests, with their phones facing down on their desk, in their bag, or outside the room. Researchers found that the group with their phones in another room scored significantly higher. An analysis of 22 studies extends this line of research, indicating the mere presence of smartphones creates a “brain drain” and that the farther away they are from the users, the easier it is for them to concentrate. Why? Our brains can only focus on a small amount of information at once, and need to prioritize what is the most ever-present and relevant, like smartphones. In fact, we engage with the device an average of more than 150 times a day, which means we are rarely focused on a task for more than a few minutes without our attention being divided. This over-reliance on smartphones trains our brain to be inattentive, leaving less space for other tasks. As our phones constantly battle for our attention, how can we prevent them from negatively impacting our performance at work? A good starting point is to educate ourselves on the impact of phone usage on our brains so we can make more informed decisions when working on a task. To further improve our productivity, we should also remember to place our phone outside the room, rather than simply turn it upside down or silence it right beside us. 8. What does the author open the text with? A. A heated discussion. B. A vividly-described painting. C. A well-known theory. D. A common misunderstanding. 9. Why is the analysis of 22 studies cited? A. To confirm previous findings. B. To analyze studies’ outcomes. C. To compare research methods. D. To track subjects’ performances. 10. What causes a “brain drain” according to the text? A. The lack of concentration training. B. The limited capacity of our brains. C. The overload of online information. D. The mindful use of digital devices. 11. How can we avoid distractions from phones at work? A. By reducing our phone’s usage. B. By switching smartphones to silent mode. C. By covering our phone’s screen. D. By separating work zones and phone zones. D Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split. There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like-but this isn’t the only way to do philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and song. There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep. One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve— they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with. Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics (形而上学) of race—an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can take on these questions. You might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, you might think that races are unreal— that they’re more like leprechauns (一种魔法精灵) than they are like Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”). A great example of a story taking on race is George S. Schuyler’s novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin— darkening it so as to look more White. Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with. 12. What is the impression formal philosophy leaves on people according to Paragraph 1? A. Dull. B. Engaging. C. Thought-provoking. D. Depressing. 13. Which is the distinction of philosophical stories? A. They give precise conceptual analysis. B. They interpret ideas formally and clearly. C. They seldom express conflicting ideas. D. They stimulate interest and critical thinking. 14. Which category might “Black No More” in Paragraph 5 fall into? A. Racial issues caused by skin colors. B. A society view on race and self-image. C. Black people accepted by the white society. D. The origin of sunbathing among white people. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Stories Made Easy B. Positions in Philosophy C. Stories to Think with D.

I tell people they should do the same. But when I hear that people are using apps to try to read more in less time, I just shake my head. Guys, you’re doing it wrong! Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. ___16___ Unfortunately, reading always falls victim to seeking productivity shortcuts. People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. Actually, such an act tends to be penny wise and pound foolish. ___17___ Simply put: You don’t need to squeeze reading into the in-between moments of your life; you need to squeeze out the non-essentials and make reading, and reading well, the priority. Once on a flight, I was surrounded by businessmen — the type of people who would say things like “I’m too busy to read”. And what were they doing on this flight? Watching videos, texting, or chatting. I was the only one reading. In two and a half hours, I got all the way through the book. But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. ___18___ The book was about a man’s attempt to retract Coronado’s expedition on horseback. I was transported from that plane to the desert. I was fully engaged. We have to remember: we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. Always, ___19___ The time you spend reading them, the time you carved out and gave to the process — that’s what you’ll remember at the end of your life. That is the prize. ___20___ They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority. And from that, everything follows: the more you read, the better you get, and the more you want to read. They don’t rush. They savor. And so should you. A. It was those quiet, reflective hours. B. You’re not supposed to rush through it. C. Never miss the chance to win the prize. D. It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading. E. All great readers share one rule: they value reading. F. When I am reading, I feel like someone else understands me. G. What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On sunny weekends, crowds often ____21____ outside my house.

Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 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。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
