(2025新课标Ⅰ卷)
In my ninth-grade writing class last year,I met a cowboy who saved his town,a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s,and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life.More than once,I found myself wondering just how my students,who’d created these people,knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay,which was about the question:“Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page,and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis(论点) statement.I was shocked.Then I realized that the problem was the question itself.They could have written pages on the necessity of computers,but writing,in and of itself,simply didn’t strike them as important.This would have to change.
As a new unit started,I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice.This time they found the exercise much more interesting.For the next two assignments,a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop,I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre(体裁) and that it contain a thesis.The results were staggering.The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories,10 to 20 pages each,with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication.However,my students demonstrated something more important to me.When the final bell rang in June,I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance—the ability to connect people,to put us in another’s skin,to teach us what it means to be human.
1.Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A.Ninth graders.
B.Students’ parents.
C.Modern writers.
D.Fictional characters.
2.Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A.They were not given enough time.
B.They had a very limited vocabulary.
C.They misunderstood the question.
D.They had little interest in the topic.
3.What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Mixed. B.Amazing.
C.Similar. D.Disturbing.
4.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Teaching is learning.
B.Still waters run deep.
C.Knowledge is power.
D.Practice makes perfect.

How can you better understand body language to feel more confident and be more effective in a range of situations?If you are struggling to understand how to interpret body language of colleagues in different cultural contexts and how to respond,you may find yourself 1.(search) for a checklist of dos and don’ts.But this isn’t necessarily the 2. (great) approach.Besides,you can start your interpretation 3. analysing groups,rather than looking at each gesture in isolation.
For example,imagine that you are presenting an idea for a new process in a meeting,and your boss is smiling.Many experts would advise you that smiling is 4. (cultural) universal,so you might assume that your boss must be happy with your presentation.However,making this 5. (assume) without deeper investigation could prove problematic.If you take 6. second look at your boss,you might notice that she is also laughing slightly,looking down and moving her pen.This could mean a range of different things.How can you understand your boss’s reaction correctly?The answer is to check that your analysis of their body language matches with 7. the person says and how they say it.

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师,通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及教学相长的故事。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“More than once,I found myself wondering just how my students,who’d created these people,knew their subjects so well.(不止一次,我暗自琢磨,塑造了这些人物的学生,究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知,这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的人物。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Then I realized that the problem was the question itself.They could have written pages on the necessity of computers,but writing,in and of itself,simply didn’t strike them as important.(随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可知,学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作的话题不感兴趣。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中画线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories,10 to 20 pages each,with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.(学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,也触动了我的心)”可知,此处指学生们写出的内容,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。由此猜测,画线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”,与B项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。
4.A 推理判断题。通读全文内容,尤其是最后一段可知,文章通过作者的教学经历,说明他在教导学生的同时,自己也领悟到写作的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。A项“Teaching is learning (教学相长).”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得新认识。B项意为“静水流深”;C项“知识就是力量”;D项“熟能生巧”。
Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Mason Branstrator因滑雪事故导致瘫痪后,如何调整心态、积极面对生活,并通过社交媒体分享自己的经历来激励他人的故事。
1.B 根据上文“Mason Branstrator has always been an athlete”可知,Mason是个运动员,由此可知,他原本活跃的生活方式发生了变化。故选B项。

3.D 根据上文“Mason broke his T-12 vertebra”可推测,Mason摔断了T-12脊椎影响了他的下半身功能。故选D项。
4.C 根据上文“He was paralyzed from the waist down.”以及他曾经活跃的生活方式可推测,他无法接受自己无法行走的事实。故选C项。
5.A 根据上文“Mason broke his T-12 vertebra,which affects lower body .He was paralyzed from the waist down.Mason couldn’t the fact that he might never walk again.”可推测,这样的结果对他而言是灾难性的。故选A项。
6.C 根据空后的“the good”以及下文所描述的他积极的心态可推测,他的父母建议他多关注好的方面。故选C项。
7.B 根据上文“After he left hospital,his parents advised him to the good.”可推测,因为他关注好的方面,他变得更加积极。故选B项。
8.B 根据上文“In this really hard situation—unable to walk”可知,在无法行走的情况下,坐在轮椅上让他有了自由和独立。故选B项。
9.D 根据上文“It’s awful to be limited to using a wheelchair.”可知,人们一般会认为坐轮椅的人是被限制在轮椅上;再根据下文“It’s actually my freedom.”可知,Mason认为轮椅并没有限制他,反而给了他自由。故选D项。
10.A 根据下文“like getting in his car”以及常理可知,对于正常人而言,上车是一件简单的事情。故选A项。
11.C 根据上文内容可知,Mason认为坐轮椅并不容易;再根据常理可知,对于脊椎受损的人而言,想要保持平衡是非常费力地。故选C项。
12.C 根据下文内容可知,Mason不仅自己心态好,还帮助其他人。由此可推测,这些困难并没有阻止他过上更好的生活。故选C项。
13.B 根据下文“And then,it just kept evolving and more people caught on to my story—people who weren’t paralyzed started being .”可知,Mason还找到了帮助他人的方法。故选B项。
14.A 根据上文内容可知,Mason在受伤后无法行走,由此可推测,他分享自己的经历是为了和身有残疾的人建立联系,从而激励他人。故选A项。
