Twelve month ago, my husband John and I took on a renovation (翻新) project in a new country. In the first ten days, it was like an exciting adventure. We carefully measured the walls, picked out paint colors, and ____3____ about the lovely home we would build. Progress advanced ____4____, and I recall saying, “Who said renovating was hard? This is so much fun.” Weeks turned into months, and the pace began to slow down. After six months, instead of seeing the beautiful sea view before me, I only saw bare dirt patches, unpainted pillars, and unfinished rooms. Guests were due to arrive, and the place looked like a messy building site. I ____5____, “Will we ever get this finished?” That’s when I decided to revisit photographs from just a few months earlier. I was ____6____ by the transformation we had achieved. Look at the pillars that had been painted, and the blossoming garden we had cultivated!

That evening, as the sun set, painting the sky orange, we sat on our balcony and drank tea, quietly ____9____ what we had accomplished.

Canada has a variety of options. We hand selected these sites for you because camping is such an important part of the summer experience in our country. Pacific Rim National Park The main draw: Long Beach is the best Pacific experience—22 kilometres of sand with a horizon that disappears into the ocean. The campsites here sit very close to the ocean. Things to do: Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach. Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities. Alice Lake Provincial Park The main draw: What this small park lacks in size, it makes up for in location, sitting just north of Squamish — “Canada’s Outdoor Recreation Capital”. Campground paths link into the area’s world-class mountain-biking network. Things to do: You can warm up for Squamish mountain biking with a three-kilometre ride starting just outside the campground. You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. And don’t miss Squamish’s Howe Sound restaurant here, you can try their delicious wood-fired pizza. Mount Robson Provincial Park The main draw: There’s no better place to admire the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies than at the Berg Lake Campground. The campground is located beside a small lake that contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier (冰川) on the mountain above. Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. The Snowbird Pass hike is a tough 22-kilometre round trip. The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park The main draw: This camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the characteristics you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. You can only reach it by hiking for about three kilometres. Things to do: Besides fishing, you can relax in the flower-filled fields and enjoy nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake. 31. What can visitors do in Pacific Rim-National Park? A. Enjoy fishing. B. Watch grey whales. C. Try mountain biking. D. Eat a wood-fired pizza. 32. If you want to go for world-class hikes, you can explore ________. A. Pacific Rim National Park B. Alice Lake Provincial Park C. Mount Robson Provincial Park D. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park 33. What do the four parks have in common? A. They all offer water activities. B. They all have peaceful campsites. C. They all feature beautiful mountain views. D. They all make good destinations for hiking. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了加拿大四个夏季可露营的公园，包括各自的特色和提供的游玩项目。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pacific Rim National Park部分“Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities.(灰鲸在近海水域度过夏天，为观赏鲸鱼提供了机会)”可知，在Pacific Rim-National Park游客可以观看灰鲸。故选B。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mount Robson Provincial Park部分“The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes.(贝格湖地区有几处世界级的徒步旅行)”可知，如果想体验世界级的徒步旅行，可以探索Mount Robson Provincial Park。故选C。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pacific Rim National Park部分“Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach.(从探索海滩开始。当然，你也可以去游泳，但要注意水温约为10℃。如果你喜欢冲浪，长滩几乎总是有海浪)”，Alice Lake Provincial Park部分“ You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. (你也可以在爱丽丝湖游泳降温，或者在沙滩上放松)”，Mount Robson Provincial Park部分“The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.(湖提供了一个宁静而美丽的环境，供游客划船和欣赏周围的山景)”和Peter Lougheed Provincial Park部分“Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake.(使用皮划艇探索上卡纳纳斯基湖的海岸线)”可知，四个公园都提供了水上活动。故选A。 B Growing up, interest and enjoyment in learning were not important to my parents, and therefore not to me; only good grades mattered. I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. Learning chemistry wasn’t boring, but I did not love my subject. When deciding what to do after finishing my undergraduate degree, I was largely driven by a desire for financial (财务的) independence. While exploring the job market, I found most asked for a master’s. I was offered a spot in a graduate program and decided to do it. It came with the opportunity to continue to a Ph.D., but I never saw a Ph.D. as my likely direction. However, in my second year, during a lab project, my doubts about a Ph.D. began to give way. I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored. I even started to prefer experiments over classes. Working in the lab seemed much more satisfying than scoring well on exams. I began to wonder: was there a place in academia for someone like me, without an inborn passion for science? As my master’s was drawing to a close, I became restless. My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if?”. I backed out and chose the Ph.D.. There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations. Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science. 34. What led the author to pick chemistry as a field of study? A. Strong performance in exams. B. Desire for broad career possibilities. C. Passion for hands- on research. D. Determination for a place in academia. 35. What was the author unsure about as his master’s program approached completion? A. How to balance research with financial independence. B. Whether to focus on lab work or academic achievements. C. How to balance a love for experiments with the dream to be a Ph. D. Whether to follow his academic interest or accept a well-paying job. 36. Why does the author describe himself as an “unwilling” chemist? A. He hates to be a chemist. B. He suffers from learning chemistry. C. He didn’t choose chemistry out of pure love. D. He became a chemist by following others’ advice. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Fortune favors the patient. B. Passion can grow with experience. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Self-belief turns hesitation into strength. 【答案】34. B 35. D 36. C 37. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因追求成绩和经济独立学化学，硕士时发现对实验的兴趣，不顾反对攻读博士，遵从内心选择。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. (我选择学习化学，是因为它看起来像是通向多种可能职业道路的途径。)”可知，促使作者选择化学作为研究领域的原因是对广阔职业前景的渴望。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if?”. (我的成绩使我很有竞争力，从而获得了工作的机会——这是一个我不能错过的宝贵机会。大家都劝我不要攻读博士学位，他们认为那样能获得更高的薪酬，也能在学术界之外找到更轻松的工作。但我对研究的兴趣却与日俱增，我不想一直生活在“如果……会怎样？”的思考之中。)”可知，在攻读硕士学位接近尾声时，作者感到不确定的是是要追随自己的学术兴趣，还是接受一份待遇优厚的工作。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science. (我的职业生涯始于一个“不情愿”的化学家身份，但我尚未表明自己对所从事工作的热爱。但我努力为自己的满足感去解决问题。这使我与其他化学家一样有能力，也一样配得上在科学领域的一席之地。)”可知，作者称自己为“不情愿”的化学家是因为他并非出于纯粹的喜爱而选择化学这门学科。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations. (有起有落，但每天在实验室里开始工作，学习新知识，感觉就是那么对。我的职业选择让我有信心按照自己的方向前进，而不是遵循他人的期望。)”以及文章主要讲述了作者因追求成绩和经济独立学化学，硕士时发现对实验的兴趣，不顾反对攻读博士，遵从内心选择。可知，文章告诉我们激情会随着经验的积累而增强。故选B。 C In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, “Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing?” Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer? This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti- Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company. At a recent practice I saw three dancers standing behind screens. Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell-like images to human-like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements. The dancers’ control of the visuals is a nod to our increasing reliance on technology and how this bridges the physical and digital worlds. “Our actions take effect far beyond the immediate presence of our bodies,” explains Alexander Whitley, the work’s artistic director. Who or what are we becoming, asks Whitley, in a post-human, real/ virtual world? The way technology reshapes our world may be unsettling, but Anti- Body feels more positive than that, with what motion capture can offer — art, creativity and self-expression. Whitley also wants to explore how the dancers’ movements influence the visuals, encouraging people to think about living beyond the physical limit of the body — welcome to the transhuman. In one scene, a dancer remotely (远程地) controls cell- like images that gradually develop into human- like avatars. Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece. “There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance,” he says. While the dancing is obviously impressive, the movements are less showy and technically demanding than in a traditional ballet or modern dance performance. Whitley seems less concerned with showing off his composition talents by putting his dancers through their paces. After all, if the simplicity of the movements lets the screen visuals do the work, Whitley is then free to concentrate on conveying his messages. So, audiences with modern and adventurous tastes should enjoy the composition. But the big draw for many will be the “dancing” visuals more than the talented physical dancers themselves. As a more traditional dance fan, I think I will stick to Swan Lake. Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life. 38. The author quotes Yuval Noah Harari’s question mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic B. draw a comparison C. support an argument D. make an assumption 39. What does the word “ambiguity” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Agreement. B. Disbelief. C. Uncertainty. D. Guidance. 40. What can we learn from this passage? A. It’s hard to unite the physical world and the digital world. B. Motion capture translates the dancers’ moves into live visuals. C. Modern and experimental performances attract more audiences. D. Alexander Whitley favors technically demanding dance routines. 41. It is implied in this passage that we should ________. A. create virtual avatars for our material bodies B. use motion capture in all future dance productions C. demand clearer explanations in experimental dance works D. reconsider what it means to be human in a digital age 【答案】38. A 39. C 40. B 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了亚历山大·惠特利舞蹈公司的新舞蹈作品《反身体》，它借助动作捕捉技术，探讨科技与人类的关系，引发人们对数字时代人类存在意义的思考。 38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, ‘Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing?’ Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer? This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company.(作家尤瓦尔·诺亚·哈拉里在他的《未来简史》一书中问道：“生物只是程序，生命只是数据处理吗？”人类的思维有一天能被下载到电脑里吗？这个存在主义的、令人不安的想法是亚历山大·惠特利舞蹈公司新舞蹈作品《反身体》的核心)”可知，作者引用尤瓦尔·诺亚·哈拉里的问题是为了引出关于《反身体》这部舞蹈作品所探讨的科技与人类相关的话题。故选A项。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece.(《反身体》是一个雄心勃勃的项目，但由于没有对话或字幕，其传达的信息可能在理解过程中有点丢失。然而，惠特利并不担心观众会对他的舞蹈作品进行自己的解读)”可知，因为舞蹈没有对话和字幕，观众会有自己的解读，所以在理解上会存在不确定性。所以“There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance(通过舞蹈来表达时，理解上总会存在……)”中划线词ambiguity的意思是“不确定；不明确”，与C项“Uncertainty”意思相近。故选C项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell like images to human like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements.(附着在他们身体上的动作捕捉传感器捕捉他们的动作，运动数据被发送到计算机。这项技术在屏幕上创建了一系列视觉效果，从类似细胞的3D图像到类人化身，所有这些都根据舞者的动作实时变化)”可知，动作捕捉技术可将舞者的动作转化为实时的视觉效果。故选B项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life.(然而，不管喜好如何，这次经历留给我们的最紧迫的问题可能超越了舞台，聚焦于对超人类主义的新理解，或者数字世界将如何影响我们的生活)”可知，文章暗示我们应该重新思考在数字时代作为人类意味着什么。故选D项。 D “If you can in one day renew yourself, do so everyday”, declared Shang Dynasty founder Cheng Tang. This is a nice motto to live by, and certainly more romantic than American poet Ezra Pound’s “Make it New”, a catchphrase of the modernist movement. Most of us tend to fight change and seek stability, yet as French philosopher Henry Bergson notes, “life is endlessly continued creation.” We notice change only when it’s sudden and final, like when we change careers, or sell our forever home. But Bergson argues that change is everlasting, not just in these moments. Our past follows us at every instant and leans over the present, and the direction it takes is “new, unique, and unforeseen”. It is a comforting thought that we press upon our future at every moment in totally novel ways. But it also helps explain the quiet sadness we feel when life is going well, just like trying to hold onto sand falling through one’s fingers. Bergson didn’t like “clock time” — the mechanical ticking of seconds. He preferred “duration”, where time flows continuously, rather than a series of separated moments. We are the dancer who moves through time, making it up as she goes along. Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus acknowledged that the only unchanging force in life is change. Driving this process of change is the tension of opposites such as life and death, day and night, wet and dry. Struggle and disagreement are important to the creation of new things; creativity arises from the dynamic interplay of opposing forces. Similarly, the Taijim (Yin-Yang symbol) represents such interplay. Yin is connected with qualities like darkness, the moon, and the earth. Yang is connected with qualities such as light, the sun, and heaven. The combined pattern indicates that they are interdependent, out of which arises a stable balance. Like most crossroads in life — “Should I put my money in a high- risk investment or play it safe?”, or “Should I settle down or keep exploring?” — the internal struggle is full of tension. But it's this tension that brings about new ideas, new plans, new destiny. Pound’s cry to “Make it New” is happening to us whether we like it or not. We have no choice but to ride along this current of never-ending newness. As Alan Watts says, “The only way to make sense out of change is to dive into it, move with it, and join the dance.” 42. According to the passage, Henri Bergson believes ________. A. change in life comes from major events B. time is best understood as a series of fixed points C. our past shapes the present and future unpredictably D. “clock time” can explain the interplay of opposing forces 43. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Tension of opposites generates creativity. B. True existence lies in stability and control. C. “Make it new” promotes seeking a new lifestyle. D. The independence of Yin and Yang leads to balance. 44. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Striking a Balance: Flowing with the Present B. The Current of Newness: Fighting Opposing Forces C. The Dance of Change: Welcoming Daily Renewal D. Enlightening the Future: Returning to Ancient Wisdom 【答案】42. C 43. A 44. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章探讨了变化的本质及其对人生的影响，作者认为时间并非是线性的，而是像舞蹈一样，过去影响现在和未来，变化是永恒的，而对立的张力（例如阴与阳、生与死）是创造力的源泉，最后呼应Pound“创造新事物”的理念，鼓励人们拥抱变化。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our past follows us at every instant and leans over the present, and the direction it takes is “new, unique, and unforeseen”.(我们的过去每时每刻都跟随着我们，并向现在倾斜，它所采取的方向是“新的，独特的，不可预测的”)”可知，Henri Bergson认为我们的过去以不可预测的方式塑造了现在和未来，故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Struggle and disagreement are important to the creation of new things; creativity arises from the dynamic interplay of opposing forces.(斗争和分歧对于创造新事物很重要；创造力来自于对立力量的动态相互作用)”可知，对立的张力产生创造力，故选A。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“If you can in one day renew yourself, do so everyday(如果你能在一天内更新自己，那么每天都这样做)”和最后一段“Pound’s cry to “Make it New” is happening to us whether we like it or not. We have no choice but to ride along this current of never-ending newness. As Alan Watts says, “The only way to make sense out of change is to dive into it, move with it, and join the dance.”(不管我们喜欢与否，Pound所呼吁的“创新”正在发生在我们身上。我们别无选择，只能顺势而行，永不停息。正如Alan Watts所说：“从变化中获得意义的唯一方法就是深入其中，与之共舞。”)”可知，文章探讨了变化的本质及其对人生的影响，作者认为时间并非是线性的，而是像舞蹈一样，过去影响现在和未来，变化是永恒的，而对立的张力（例如阴与阳、生与死）是创造力的源泉，最后呼应Pound“创造新事物”的理念，鼓励人们拥抱变化。C项“变化之舞：欢迎每日更新”最适合作为标题，呼应文章积极接纳并融入持续变化的动态过程中的主题，故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? ____45____ However, it is more likely that this is the chameleon effect at play. ____46____ Just as a chameleon fits into the background to match any environment’s colours, people acquire the behaviours of others to help make their communications smooth. The chameleon effect was first proved by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first of their experiments included 78 volunteers, who each spoke with an experimenter they had never met before. ____47____ Results showed that their face touching increased by 20% and their foot movement by 50% during the conversation. Their second experiment measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being copied. Half of the participants were copied by the experimenter during their interaction and later asked to rate the experimenter’s likeability. ____48____ Research like this suggests that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These reactions could be a person willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection. However, too much of the chameleon effect can be damaging. ____49____ When this happens, people can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to spot. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around for slight mirroring gestures, and you might just see some chameleons for yourself. A. It may seem like they have intentionally copied you. B. Those who were copied scored the experimenter higher. C. The chameleon effect is the unintentional copying of another’s gestures. D. The researchers observed if participants would copy a stranger’s gestures. E. Outgoing people may feel more stressed and exhausted when fitting into their jobs. F. Have you responded similarly when your friend tells you something in an excitable manner? G. Some people carry this feature too far, causing them to obviously change in different situations. 【答案】45. A 46. C 47. D 48. B 49. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了变色龙效应的定义、相关实验及影响。 【45题详解】 上文“Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression?(你是否曾经在和某人谈话的过程中，当你回头发现他们和你站在同一个位置或有相同的面部表情？)”描述了一种在交流中可能遇到的情景，下文“However, it is more likely that this is the chameleon effect at play.(然而，这更有可能是变色龙效应在起作用)”揭示了原因，空处承上启下，和下文是转折关系，故空处应是提及一种错误的原因，A项“这看起来像是他们故意模仿你”符合语境，故选A。 【46题详解】 上一段末句“However, it is more likely that this is the chameleon effect at play.(然而，这更有可能是变色龙效应在起作用)”提到变色龙效应，结合下文“Just as a chameleon fits into the background to match any environment’s colours, people acquire the behaviours of others to help make their communications smooth.(就像变色龙适应背景以适应任何环境的颜色一样，人们获得他人的行为以帮助他们顺利沟通)”可知，本段是解释变色龙效应，空处位于段首，应是对下文内容的总结，C项“变色龙效应是指无意识地模仿他人的手势”直接定义该效应，引出下文解释，符合语境，故选C。 【47题详解】 下文“Results showed that their face touching increased by 20% and their foot movement by 50% during the conversation.(结果显示，在谈话过程中，他们的面部触摸增加了20%，脚的移动增加了50%)”描述实验结果，故空处是描述实验过程，D项“研究人员观察参与者是否会模仿陌生人的手势”符合实验逻辑，说明实验观察的内容，引出结果，符合语境，故选D。 【48题详解】 上文“Half of the participants were copied by the experimenter during their interaction and later asked to rate the experimenter’s likeability.(一半的参与者在互动过程中被实验者模仿，然后被要求评价实验者的受欢迎程度)”描述第二个实验的过程，空处位于段末，应是揭示实验结果，B项“那些被模仿的人给实验者的分数更高”呼应“评价受欢迎程度”，体现模仿带来的积极影响，符合语境，故选B。 【49题详解】 上文“However, too much of the chameleon effect can be damaging.(然而，过多的变色龙效应可能是有害的)”提到过多的变色龙效应可能是有害的，空处应是具体阐述过多模仿别人产生的后果，G项“有些人把这个功能做得太过分了，导致他们在不同的情况下发生明显的变化”解释过度模仿的危害，并和下文“Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected.(那些在不同群体中完全改变个性的人往往不被发现)”呼应，符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Two choir rehearsals (排练) this week, two next, and a concert on Sunday; our new director reminds us to practise at home; I belong to a community choir with a range of talent. Until I was in my mid-40s, my singing was limited to the shower and the car. But then I moved to Scotland, to live in a New Age community where some people sang daily Monday to Friday for 20 minutes before breakfast. I was attracted by the beautiful songs. They opened my heart enough to allow me to listen and not react to people. I also took weekly singing lessons and began to enjoy singing. The reward for singing is great. My habit, from childhood on, has been holding back my emotions. But singing bursts through old habits and uplifts my heart, especially when I’m part of creating it. I left Scotland unwillingly when my visa expired (过期) and returned to Canada. My music teacher said,‌ “Find a choir there and sing. Do not stop.” In Vancouver, I joined the community choir. We practise weekly and sing in two concerts a year. The directors admit that perfection is an illusion (幻想) but push us as far as they possibly can. As they often say, in a choir the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And I feel the ‌“ whole” can be been so moved by the beauty of the blended (混合的) voices that tears streamed silently down my cheeks — not from sadness, but from witnessing how imperfect voices could create perfect harmony. The choir is my family now. It is what moves me to try to accept everyone as they are without judgment, to develop patience, charity and love, and to live in active hope regarding world problems and the environment. When I think of all that, the hard work I put in to reach an average level in my singing feels like an investment in becoming a better person. 50. What group does the author belong to? _________________________________________________________________________________ 51. How does singing benefit the author? _________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The directors encourage the choir to practise hard and they think the sum of a choir’s parts is the whole of it. _________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What is one of your experiences that has made you a better person? (In about 40 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 50 A community choir. 51. Singing bursts through old habits, uplifts her heart and helps her accept others, develop good qualities and have active hope for the world and environment. 52. The directors encourage the choir to practise hard and they think the sum of a choir’s parts is the whole of it. Because the directors think in a choir the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 53. I once joined a volunteer activity to help the elderly. It taught me to care for others and be more responsible, making me a better person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者加入社区合唱团的经历，阐述了唱歌对自己的益处，还提到合唱团让自己成为更好的人。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“I belong to a community choir with a range of talent. (我属于一个人才济济的社区合唱团)”可知，作者属于社区合唱团。故答案为：A community choir. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“But singing bursts through old habits and uplifts my heart, especially when I’m part of creating it. (但唱歌能冲破旧习惯，振奋我的心灵，尤其是当我参与其中时)”以及最后一段中“It is what moves me to try to accept everyone as they are without judgment, to develop patience, charity and love, and to live in active hope regarding world problems and the environment. (它促使我试着不加评判地接受每个人，培养耐心、仁爱和爱心，并对世界问题和环境抱有积极的希望)”可知，唱歌能冲破作者压抑情感的旧习惯，振奋心灵，还能让作者学会接纳他人、培养良好品质以及对世界和环境抱有积极希望。故答案为：Singing bursts through old habits, uplifts her heart and helps her accept others, develop good qualities and have active hope for the world and environment. 【52题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中“As they often say, in a choir the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. (正如他们常说的，在一个合唱团里，整体大于部分之和)”可知，合唱团导演认为整体大于部分之和，而不是部分之和等于整体。所以“they think the sum of a choir’s parts is the whole of it”表述错误。故答案为：The directors encourage the choir to practise hard and they think the sum of a choir’s parts is the whole of it. Because the directors think in a choir the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 【53题详解】 考查开放性问题。比如参加志愿者活动，在帮助他人的过程中，学会了关爱他人，变得更有责任感，这让自己成为了更好的人。故答案为：I once joined a volunteer activity to help the elderly. It taught me to care for others and be more responsible, making me a better person. 第二节(20分) 54. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的外国好友Jim发来邮件，询问你升入高中后的学习收获。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.描述你在学习中做出的一项改变； 2.分析这项改变对你的学习产生的积极影响。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, How’s everything going? I'm writing to share a small but transformative change I’ve made in my studies — I’ve switched to using mind maps for note-taking. Let me explain how this simple shift has helped me through my learning. In the past, when doing listening exercises, I used to take down some isolated phrases from the English listening materials. But when I tried mind maps, everything shifted. This visual web doesn’t just organize facts — it reveals connections I’ve never noticed before, and transforms audio clips into clear, structured and meaningful ideas. This approach has not only boosted my memory but also sparked my creativity. How about you? Any “mind map moments” in your studies?

We hand selected these sites for you because camping is such an important part of the summer experience in our country. Pacific Rim National Park The main draw: Long Beach is the best Pacific experience—22 kilometres of sand with a horizon that disappears into the ocean. The campsites here sit very close to the ocean. Things to do: Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach. Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities. Alice Lake Provincial Park The main draw: What this small park lacks in size, it makes up for in location, sitting just north of Squamish — “Canada’s Outdoor Recreation Capital”. Campground paths link into the area’s world-class mountain-biking network. Things to do: You can warm up for Squamish mountain biking with a three-kilometre ride starting just outside the campground. You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. And don’t miss Squamish’s Howe Sound restaurant here, you can try their delicious wood-fired pizza. Mount Robson Provincial Park The main draw: There’s no better place to admire the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies than at the Berg Lake Campground. The campground is located beside a small lake that contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier (冰川) on the mountain above. Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. The Snowbird Pass hike is a tough 22-kilometre round trip. The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park The main draw: This camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the characteristics you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. You can only reach it by hiking for about three kilometres. Things to do: Besides fishing, you can relax in the flower-filled fields and enjoy nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake. 31. What can visitors do in Pacific Rim-National Park? A. Enjoy fishing. B. Watch grey whales. C. Try mountain biking. D. Eat a wood-fired pizza. 32. If you want to go for world-class hikes, you can explore ________. A. Pacific Rim National Park B. Alice Lake Provincial Park C. Mount Robson Provincial Park D. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park 33. What do the four parks have in common? A. They all offer water activities. B. They all have peaceful campsites. C. They all feature beautiful mountain views. D. They all make good destinations for hiking. B Growing up, interest and enjoyment in learning were not important to my parents, and therefore not to me; only good grades mattered. I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. Learning chemistry wasn’t boring, but I did not love my subject. When deciding what to do after finishing my undergraduate degree, I was largely driven by a desire for financial (财务的) independence. While exploring the job market, I found most asked for a master’s. I was offered a spot in a graduate program and decided to do it. It came with the opportunity to continue to a Ph.D., but I never saw a Ph.D. as my likely direction. However, in my second year, during a lab project, my doubts about a Ph.D. began to give way. I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored. I even started to prefer experiments over classes. Working in the lab seemed much more satisfying than scoring well on exams. I began to wonder: was there a place in academia for someone like me, without an inborn passion for science? As my master’s was drawing to a close, I became restless. My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if?”. I backed out and chose the Ph.D.. There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations. Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science. 34. What led the author to pick chemistry as a field of study? A. Strong performance in exams. B. Desire for broad career possibilities. C. Passion for hands- on research. D. Determination for a place in academia. 35. What was the author unsure about as his master’s program approached completion? A. How to balance research with financial independence. B. Whether to focus on lab work or academic achievements. C. How to balance a love for experiments with the dream to be a Ph. D. Whether to follow his academic interest or accept a well-paying job. 36. Why does the author describe himself as an “unwilling” chemist? A. He hates to be a chemist. B. He suffers from learning chemistry. C. He didn’t choose chemistry out of pure love. D. He became a chemist by following others’ advice. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Fortune favors the patient. B. Passion can grow with experience. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Self-belief turns hesitation into strength. C In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, “Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing?” Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer? This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti- Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company. At a recent practice I saw three dancers standing behind screens. Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell-like images to human-like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements. The dancers’ control of the visuals is a nod to our increasing reliance on technology and how this bridges the physical and digital worlds. “Our actions take effect far beyond the immediate presence of our bodies,” explains Alexander Whitley, the work’s artistic director. Who or what are we becoming, asks Whitley, in a post-human, real/ virtual world? The way technology reshapes our world may be unsettling, but Anti- Body feels more positive than that, with what motion capture can offer — art, creativity and self-expression. Whitley also wants to explore how the dancers’ movements influence the visuals, encouraging people to think about living beyond the physical limit of the body — welcome to the transhuman. In one scene, a dancer remotely (远程地) controls cell- like images that gradually develop into human- like avatars. Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece. “There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance,” he says. While the dancing is obviously impressive, the movements are less showy and technically demanding than in a traditional ballet or modern dance performance. Whitley seems less concerned with showing off his composition talents by putting his dancers through their paces. After all, if the simplicity of the movements lets the screen visuals do the work, Whitley is then free to concentrate on conveying his messages. So, audiences with modern and adventurous tastes should enjoy the composition. But the big draw for many will be the “dancing” visuals more than the talented physical dancers themselves. As a more traditional dance fan, I think I will stick to Swan Lake. Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life. 38. The author quotes Yuval Noah Harari’s question mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic B. draw a comparison C. support an argument D. make an assumption 39. What does the word “ambiguity” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Agreement. B. Disbelief. C. Uncertainty. D. Guidance. 40. What can we learn from this passage? A. It’s hard to unite the physical world and the digital world. B. Motion capture translates the dancers’ moves into live visuals. C. Modern and experimental performances attract more audiences. D. Alexander Whitley favors technically demanding dance routines. 41. It is implied in this passage that we should ________. A. create virtual avatars for our material bodies B. use motion capture in all future dance productions C. demand clearer explanations in experimental dance works D. reconsider what it means to be human in a digital age D “If you can in one day renew yourself, do so everyday”, declared Shang Dynasty founder Cheng Tang. This is a nice motto to live by, and certainly more romantic than American poet Ezra Pound’s “Make it New”, a catchphrase of the modernist movement. Most of us tend to fight change and seek stability, yet as French philosopher Henry Bergson notes, “life is endlessly continued creation.” We notice change only when it’s sudden and final, like when we change careers, or sell our forever home. But Bergson argues that change is everlasting, not just in these moments. Our past follows us at every instant and leans over the present, and the direction it takes is “new, unique, and unforeseen”. It is a comforting thought that we press upon our future at every moment in totally novel ways. But it also helps explain the quiet sadness we feel when life is going well, just like trying to hold onto sand falling through one’s fingers. Bergson didn’t like “clock time” — the mechanical ticking of seconds. He preferred “duration”, where time flows continuously, rather than a series of separated moments. We are the dancer who moves through time, making it up as she goes along. Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus acknowledged that the only unchanging force in life is change. Driving this process of change is the tension of opposites such as life and death, day and night, wet and dry. Struggle and disagreement are important to the creation of new things; creativity arises from the dynamic interplay of opposing forces. Similarly, the Taijim (Yin-Yang symbol) represents such interplay. Yin is connected with qualities like darkness, the moon, and the earth. Yang is connected with qualities such as light, the sun, and heaven. The combined pattern indicates that they are interdependent, out of which arises a stable balance. Like most crossroads in life — “Should I put my money in a high- risk investment or play it safe?”, or “Should I settle down or keep exploring?” — the internal struggle is full of tension. But it's this tension that brings about new ideas, new plans, new destiny. Pound’s cry to “Make it New” is happening to us whether we like it or not. We have no choice but to ride along this current of never-ending newness. As Alan Watts says, “The only way to make sense out of change is to dive into it, move with it, and join the dance.” 42. According to the passage, Henri Bergson believes ________. A. change in life comes from major events B. time is best understood as a series of fixed points C. our past shapes the present and future unpredictably D. “clock time” can explain the interplay of opposing forces 43. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Tension of opposites generates creativity. B. True existence lies in stability and control. C. “Make it new” promotes seeking a new lifestyle. D. The independence of Yin and Yang leads to balance. 44. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Striking a Balance: Flowing with the Present B. The Current of Newness: Fighting Opposing Forces C. The Dance of Change: Welcoming Daily Renewal D. Enlightening the Future: Returning to Ancient Wisdom 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? ____45____ However, it is more likely that this is the chameleon effect at play. ____46____ Just as a chameleon fits into the background to match any environment’s colours, people acquire the behaviours of others to help make their communications smooth. The chameleon effect was first proved by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first of their experiments included 78 volunteers, who each spoke with an experimenter they had never met before. ____47____ Results showed that their face touching increased by 20% and their foot movement by 50% during the conversation. Their second experiment measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being copied. Half of the participants were copied by the experimenter during their interaction and later asked to rate the experimenter’s likeability. ____48____ Research like this suggests that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These reactions could be a person willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection. However, too much of the chameleon effect can be damaging. ____49____ When this happens, people can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to spot. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around for slight mirroring gestures, and you might just see some chameleons for yourself. A. It may seem like they have intentionally copied you. B. Those who were copied scored the experimenter higher. C. The chameleon effect is the unintentional copying of another’s gestures. D. The researchers observed if participants would copy a stranger’s gestures. E. Outgoing people may feel more stressed and exhausted when fitting into their jobs. F. Have you responded similarly when your friend tells you something in an excitable manner? G. Some people carry this feature too far, causing them to obviously change in different situations. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Two choir rehearsals (排练) this week, two next, and a concert on Sunday; our new director reminds us to practise at home; I belong to a community choir with a range of talent. Until I was in my mid-40s, my singing was limited to the shower and the car. But then I moved to Scotland, to live in a New Age community where some people sang daily Monday to Friday for 20 minutes before breakfast. I was attracted by the beautiful songs. They opened my heart enough to allow me to listen and not react to people. I also took weekly singing lessons and began to enjoy singing. The reward for singing is great. My habit, from childhood on, has been holding back my emotions. But singing bursts through old habits and uplifts my heart, especially when I’m part of creating it. I left Scotland unwillingly when my visa expired (过期) and returned to Canada. My music teacher said,‌ “Find a choir there and sing. Do not stop.” In Vancouver, I joined the community choir. We practise weekly and sing in two concerts a year. The directors admit that perfection is an illusion (幻想) but push us as far as they possibly can. As they often say, in a choir the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And I feel the ‌“ whole” can be been so moved by the beauty of the blended (混合的) voices that tears streamed silently down my cheeks — not from sadness, but from witnessing how imperfect voices could create perfect harmony. The choir is my family now. It is what moves me to try to accept everyone as they are without judgment, to develop patience, charity and love, and to live in active hope regarding world problems and the environment. When I think of all that, the hard work I put in to reach an average level in my singing feels like an investment in becoming a better person. 50.

How does singing benefit the author? _________________________________________________________________________________ 52.

We hand selected these sites for you because camping is such an important part of the summer experience in our country. Pacific Rim National Park The main draw: Long Beach is the best Pacific experience—22 kilometres of sand with a horizon that disappears into the ocean. The campsites here sit very close to the ocean. Things to do: Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach. Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities. Alice Lake Provincial Park The main draw: What this small park lacks in size, it makes up for in location, sitting just north of Squamish — “Canada’s Outdoor Recreation Capital”. Campground paths link into the area’s world-class mountain-biking network. Things to do: You can warm up for Squamish mountain biking with a three-kilometre ride starting just outside the campground. You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. And don’t miss Squamish’s Howe Sound restaurant here, you can try their delicious wood-fired pizza. Mount Robson Provincial Park The main draw: There’s no better place to admire the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies than at the Berg Lake Campground. The campground is located beside a small lake that contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier (冰川) on the mountain above. Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. The Snowbird Pass hike is a tough 22-kilometre round trip. The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park The main draw: This camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the characteristics you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. You can only reach it by hiking for about three kilometres. Things to do: Besides fishing, you can relax in the flower-filled fields and enjoy nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake. 31. What can visitors do in Pacific Rim-National Park? A. Enjoy fishing. B. Watch grey whales. C. Try mountain biking. D. Eat a wood-fired pizza. 32. If you want to go for world-class hikes, you can explore ________. A. Pacific Rim National Park B. Alice Lake Provincial Park C. Mount Robson Provincial Park D. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park 33. What do the four parks have in common? A. They all offer water activities. B. They all have peaceful campsites. C. They all feature beautiful mountain views. D. They all make good destinations for hiking. B Growing up, interest and enjoyment in learning were not important to my parents, and therefore not to me; only good grades mattered. I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. Learning chemistry wasn’t boring, but I did not love my subject. When deciding what to do after finishing my undergraduate degree, I was largely driven by a desire for financial (财务的) independence. While exploring the job market, I found most asked for a master’s. I was offered a spot in a graduate program and decided to do it. It came with the opportunity to continue to a Ph.D., but I never saw a Ph.D. as my likely direction. However, in my second year, during a lab project, my doubts about a Ph.D. began to give way. I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored. I even started to prefer experiments over classes. Working in the lab seemed much more satisfying than scoring well on exams. I began to wonder: was there a place in academia for someone like me, without an inborn passion for science? As my master’s was drawing to a close, I became restless. My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if?”. I backed out and chose the Ph.D.. There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations. Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science. 34. What led the author to pick chemistry as a field of study? A. Strong performance in exams. B. Desire for broad career possibilities. C. Passion for hands- on research. D. Determination for a place in academia. 35. What was the author unsure about as his master’s program approached completion? A. How to balance research with financial independence. B. Whether to focus on lab work or academic achievements. C. How to balance a love for experiments with the dream to be a Ph. D. Whether to follow his academic interest or accept a well-paying job. 36. Why does the author describe himself as an “unwilling” chemist? A. He hates to be a chemist. B. He suffers from learning chemistry. C. He didn’t choose chemistry out of pure love. D. He became a chemist by following others’ advice. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Fortune favors the patient. B. Passion can grow with experience. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Self-belief turns hesitation into strength. C In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, “Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing?” Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer? This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti- Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company. At a recent practice I saw three dancers standing behind screens. Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell-like images to human-like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements. The dancers’ control of the visuals is a nod to our increasing reliance on technology and how this bridges the physical and digital worlds. “Our actions take effect far beyond the immediate presence of our bodies,” explains Alexander Whitley, the work’s artistic director. Who or what are we becoming, asks Whitley, in a post-human, real/ virtual world? The way technology reshapes our world may be unsettling, but Anti- Body feels more positive than that, with what motion capture can offer — art, creativity and self-expression. Whitley also wants to explore how the dancers’ movements influence the visuals, encouraging people to think about living beyond the physical limit of the body — welcome to the transhuman. In one scene, a dancer remotely (远程地) controls cell- like images that gradually develop into human- like avatars. Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece. “There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance,” he says. While the dancing is obviously impressive, the movements are less showy and technically demanding than in a traditional ballet or modern dance performance. Whitley seems less concerned with showing off his composition talents by putting his dancers through their paces. After all, if the simplicity of the movements lets the screen visuals do the work, Whitley is then free to concentrate on conveying his messages. So, audiences with modern and adventurous tastes should enjoy the composition. But the big draw for many will be the “dancing” visuals more than the talented physical dancers themselves. As a more traditional dance fan, I think I will stick to Swan Lake. Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life. 38. The author quotes Yuval Noah Harari’s question mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic B. draw a comparison C. support an argument D. make an assumption 39. What does the word “ambiguity” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Agreement. B. Disbelief. C. Uncertainty. D. Guidance. 40. What can we learn from this passage? A. It’s hard to unite the physical world and the digital world. B. Motion capture translates the dancers’ moves into live visuals. C. Modern and experimental performances attract more audiences. D. Alexander Whitley favors technically demanding dance routines. 41. It is implied in this passage that we should ________. A. create virtual avatars for our material bodies B. use motion capture in all future dance productions C. demand clearer explanations in experimental dance works D. reconsider what it means to be human in a digital age D “If you can in one day renew yourself, do so everyday”, declared Shang Dynasty founder Cheng Tang. This is a nice motto to live by, and certainly more romantic than American poet Ezra Pound’s “Make it New”, a catchphrase of the modernist movement. Most of us tend to fight change and seek stability, yet as French philosopher Henry Bergson notes, “life is endlessly continued creation.” We notice change only when it’s sudden and final, like when we change careers, or sell our forever home.

I'm writing to share a small but transformative change I’ve made in my studies — I’ve switched to using mind maps for note-taking. Let me explain how this simple shift has helped me through my learning. In the past, when doing listening exercises, I used to take down some isolated phrases from the English listening materials. But when I tried mind maps, everything shifted. This visual web doesn’t just organize facts — it reveals connections I’ve never noticed before, and transforms audio clips into clear, structured and meaningful ideas. This approach has not only boosted my memory but also sparked my creativity. How about you? Any “mind map moments” in your studies? Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025-2026学年高二下学期期中模拟卷01（北京专用） 姓名 考场号 准考证号 班级 座位号 [0] 01 [01 [01 I0] [01 [0] [0] 注意事项 1] 1 1 [1] [11 11 [1] [1] [2] 21 21 [2] [2] 2] [2] [2] 1答题前请将姓名、班级、考场、准考证号填写清楚。 [3] [3] [31 [3] [3 [3] [3] [3] 2客观题答案必须使用2B铅笔填涂，修改时用橡皮擦干净。 [4] [4] 4 [4] [4] [4] [4] [4] 3.主观题使用黑色签字笔书写。 [5] [51 [51 [5] [51 [5] [5] [5] 4.必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效。 [6] [6] 6] I6] [6] [6] [6] [6] 5.保持卷面整洁、完整。 [7] [71 [7 [7] [71 [7] [7] [7 [8J 81 [8 [8] 81 8] [8] [8 正确填涂 ■ 缺考标记 口 [9] [9] [9] [9] [9] [91 [9] [91 一、 完形填空(10分)】 1[A[B][C][D] 2[A][B][C][D] 3[A][B][C][D] 4[A][B][C][D] 5[A][B][C][D] 6[A[B][C]D] 7[A][B][C][D] 8[A][B][C][D] 9[AJ[B][C][D] 10[A][B][C][D] 选词填空(10分) 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 三、 语法填空(10分)》 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29 30. 四、阅读(28分)》 31[A][B][C][D]32[A][B][C][D] 33[A][B][C][D]34[A][B][C][D]35[A][B][C][D] 36[A[B][C][D]37[A][B][C][D]38[A][B][C]D]39[A][B][C][D]40[A][B][C][D] 41[A[B][C][D]42[A][B][C][D]43[A][B][C]D]4[A][B][C][D] 五、七选五(10分) 45[A][B][C][D][E][F][G]46[A][B][C][D][E][F][G]47[A][B][C]D][E][F][G 48[A][B][C][D][E][F][G]49[A][B][C]D][E][F][G 六、阅读表达(12分)》 50.For outsiders of bird-watching,what kind of person is usually a bird-watcher? 口口■ 第1/2页，第1栏（编号：000146） 51.What are the benefits of bird-watching for teenagers? 52.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >Young bird-watchers share much in common with the elders in terms of their passion for and enjoyment of the hobby,but the elders hold a clear advantage over the young. 53.What is one of your experiences that has made you a better person?(In about 40 words)(5) 七、作文(20分)》 ■ 口■口 第2/2页，第1栏（编号：000146 ■
