A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometres in the dark to get to his new job. The story begins with Walter Carr’s car breaking down the night before starting a new job. Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham — 32 kilometres away. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer’s house by 8:00 am the next morning. Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4:00 am. So, they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8:00 am. The police then took Carr to the home of customer Jenny Lamey. Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest. He just wanted to start working. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen. Jenny Lamey later wrote this on Facebook: “I just can’t tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey. He is kind and cheerful and he has big dreams! He is hard-working and tough.” She then started a GoFundMe page to help Walter with money to get his car fixed. When the CEO of Bellhops, Luke Marklin, learned of Carr’s story, he drove from Tennessee to Alabama to give Walter his own 2014 Ford Escape. Walter Carr’s story touched many others around the United States. Within a few days, people gave over $73,000 to the GoFundMe page. Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation. And he has received more offers for jobs and scholarships for schools. 1. Why did Walter Carr decide to go to work on foot? A. He wanted to challenge himself. B. He wished to be on time for the job. C. He was unable to borrow a car. D. His car was damaged beyond repair. 2. What can we infer about Carr from Paragraph 3? A. He was devoted to his job. B. He was blamed by his customer. C. He called the police for help. D. He started to work after a short break. 3. What kind of person does Lamey think Carr is? A. Cautious. B. Generous. C. Ambitious. D. Sensitive. 4. What message does the text really convey? A. One has to suffer in order to get a good job. B. A good impression is sure to bring one good money. C. One has to give up something in return for donations. D. The efforts to leave a good impression are to pay off. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个大学生在开始新工作的前一个晚上，车坏了，为了能在第二天早上8点到达客户的家，他半夜就出发。他的这份认真感动了许多人，人们纷纷伸出援助之手。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham—32 kilometres away. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer’s house by 8: 00 am the next morning.(Carr找不到车。因此，他计算出从他的家步行到32公里外的pelham的工作地点需要多长时间。他在午夜离开，这样他就能在第二天早上8点到达客户的家)”可知，他决定步行去工作的原因是因为他想准时工作。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest. He just wanted to start working. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen.( Lamey说，尽管Carr走了一整晚，但他拒绝了她让他休息的提议。他只是想开始工作。他一边工作，一边和顾客聊天，告诉她他有多喜欢她的厨房)”可知，他一心只想着工作。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Jenny Lamey later wrote this on Facebook: “I just can’t tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey. He is kind and cheerful and he has big dreams! He is hard-working and tough.”(Jenny Lamey后来在Facebook上写道：“我无法告诉你我对Walter和他的旅程有多感动。他是善良和开朗，他有很大的梦想！他很努力，也很坚强。”)”可知，Lamey认为他善良、开朗，有很大的梦想，也就是有志向、有抱负的。选项A“Cautious. (小心谨慎)”；选项B Generous“(慷慨的)”；选项C“Ambitious (有抱负的)”；选项D“Sensitive (敏感的)”。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“How far would you go to make a good impression at a new job?(在一份新工作中，你要走多远才能给人留下好印象？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Walter Carr对待工作这份努力使得人们对他有好感，并纷纷伸出援手。所以文章想要表达的是想给别人留下好印象的努力最终会有回报的。故选D。 B Here are some things that you can buy as gifts for your friends who are birdwatchers. A window-mounted bird feeder One way to guarantee a close-up look at the birds in your garden is to bring them all the way to the house. This bird feeder is solidly built with strong suction (吸) cups that you can tie to your windows, giving you a good view of your winged visitors. A pair of binoculars Binoculars are a birdwatcher’s best friend! They work like two small telescopes joined together, allowing you to use both eyes to see distant birds as if they were right in front of you. They’re perfect for spotting feathered friends in the wild, whether the birds are high up in the trees or soaring across the sky. When you peer through them, you get a view that makes every little detail of the birds — their colors, beaks, and even the texture of their feathers. The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss This beautifully illustrated book draws readers into the mysterious world of Britain’s favourite bird, the red robin — a familiar sight in all winter gardens, but as naturalist Stephen Moss demonstrates, one we hardly know. Combining convincing storytelling with biological fact, Moss guides us through a year in the life of the robin, from the moment it hatches from its egg to its all too timely mortality (死亡) — the robin tends to live a me re 13 months , adding to its precious quality. A reusable thermal bottle Every good birding expedition needs a bottle of steaming hot tea. A reusable bottle decorated with lifelike drawings of classic British birds combines a natural aesthetic (美感) with practicality. It can keep not only hot drinks but also cold drinks. 5 What do we know about binoculars? A. They can attract birds to your house. B. They show images in black and white. C. They can provide detailed views of birdwatching. D. They’re too heavy to carry for birdwatchers. 6. What does The Robin: A Biography tell us about? A. The lifetime of a bird. B. The death of a bird. C. The quantity of a bird. D. The birth of a bird. 7. What do the last two gifts have in common? A. They involve rare birds B. They attract users with pictures. C. They are for practical use D. They spread bird knowledge 【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了一些适合送给观鸟爱好者的礼物。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据A pair of binoculars部分中最后一句“When you peer through them, you get a view that makes every little detail of the birds—their colors, beaks, and even the texture of their feathers. (当你透过它们往外看的时候，你会看到这些鸟尾巴上的每一个细节——它们的颜色、喙，甚至它们羽毛的质地。)”可知，望远镜能让观鸟爱好者观察到鸟的每一个小细节，它们可以提供观鸟的详细视图。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss部分中“Combining convincing storytelling with biological fact, Moss guides us through a year in the life of the robin, from the moment it hatches from its egg to its all too timely mortality (死亡) —the robin tends to live a me re 13 months , adding to its precious quality. (结合令人信服的故事和生物学事实，莫斯带领我们走过了知更鸟一年的生活，从它从蛋里孵出来的那一刻到它及时的死亡——知更鸟通常活13个月，这增加了它宝贵的品质。)”可知，该书介绍了欧洲知更鸟的一生。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss部分中“This beautifully illustrated book draws readers into the mysterious world of Britain’s favourite bird, the red robin —a familiar sight in all winter gardens, but as naturalist Stephen Moss demonstrates, one we hardly know. (这本插图精美的书将读者带入英国最受欢迎的鸟类——红知更鸟的神秘世界——这是所有冬季花园中常见的景象，但正如博物学家斯蒂芬·莫斯所展示的那样，这是一种我们几乎不知道的鸟类。)”和A reusable thermal bottle部分中“Every good birding expedition needs a bottle of steaming hot tea. A reusable bottle decorated with lifelike drawings of classic British birds combines a natural aesthetic (美感) with practicality. It can keep not only hot drinks but also cold drinks. (每一次好的观鸟探险都需要一瓶热气腾腾的热茶。这个可重复使用的瓶子装饰着栩栩如生的英国经典鸟类图案，将自然美学与实用性结合在一起。它不仅可以保存热饮，也可以保存冷饮。)”可知，最后两个礼物都用图片吸引用户。故选B。 C As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of and now must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading. Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age. While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job-architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston. I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons. 8. What does the author consider most important when choosing used books？ A. Their appealing covers. B. Their reasonable prices. C. Their excellent content. D. Their collection value. 9. What does the author realize as he grows older? A. He has a small circle of friends. B. His attitude towards work changes. C. His communication skills improve. D. He has a deeper understanding of life and books. 10. Why does the author mention books on architecture? A. To show some books are worth reading repeatedly. B. To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books. C To suggest we avoid making poor decisions. D. To explain his love for architecture. 11. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stop throwing away used books. B. He likes updating his collection of used books. C. He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment. D. He enjoys leading an active life in the countryside. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从购买二手书的经历、重新阅读的意义和不断更新自己的读物等几个方面说明各阅读的重要性和意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.”（我不寻找珍本、第一版或皮面版的书，而是那些值得一读的书。）可知，作者在购买书时最看重的是书的内容。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Different books offer me insights （见解） and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster（牡蛎） now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age.”（不同的书籍给我提供了深刻的见解和表达方式，就像牡蛎里的沙子现在像珍珠一样闪闪发光一样。 我对书籍的鉴赏力随着年龄的增长而提高。）可知，作者随着年龄的增大，他对生活和书本有更深的理解。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的例子及“Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston.”（我还会再打开他们的封面吗? 当然。 我手里拿着班尼斯特·弗莱彻爵士的《建筑史》和有关巴黎、罗马和波士顿的书。）可知，作者提到建筑书籍的目的是说明这些书值得多次阅读。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons.”（毫无疑问，我将获得更多的二手书，并扔掉更多的书，因为激情就像羽毛随着季节的变化而变化。）可知，作者喜欢不断更新自己的二手书收藏。故选B项。 D Learn a new language with the world’s most-downloaded education app! Duolingo is a fun, free app for learning 40+ languages through quick, bite-sized lessons. Designed by language experts and loved by hundreds of millions of learners worldwide, Duolingo helps you prepare for real conversations in Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, German, English, and more. The program is based on crown levels which give you more difficult exercises at higher levels. When the skill is leveled up, the next row of skills is unlocked. The point of the leveling-up design is to allow you to see more challenging content without forcing you to go through it. With Duolingo, you can enlarge your vocabulary, learn basic grammar structures, and have fun along the way. The app also offers a wide variety of exercises, and you can learn how to pronounce words as well as improve your writing and listening skills. You can learn different languages at the same time, which is really cool. There’s a wide range of languages to choose from. Duolingo becomes so popular because it’s both fun and effective. And free, of course. But the app also has a paid version called Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, allows for lessons’ downloads to mobile devices, provides chances for members to practise their former (以前的) mistakes and more. There are a ton of education apps on the market these days, and it’s not easy to stand out. But Duolingo manages to find the winning combination (结合): affordability, simplicity, and originality. But you shouldn’t have unrealistic goals. As long as you don’t expect to become fluent with Duolingo, you’ll find the program very useful. 12. How does Duolingo allow learners to go further when studying? A. By offering all the skills unlocked. B. By letting them finish leveling-up design. C. By forcing them to create challenging tasks. D. By showing them the answers to difficult exercises. 13. What can we know about Duolingo Plus? A. It is completely free. B. It allows mistakes to be viewed again. C. It includes ads. D. Its lessons are unable to be downloaded. 14. What does the author suggest about using Duolingo? A. Having a test before use. B. Giving up other apps. C. Setting a goal to become fluent. D. Not completely relying on it. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Duolingo: A Wonderful App B. Duolingo Plus in Use C. Duolingo: A New Invention D. Tools for Speaking 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款语言学习应用程序——Duolingo。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The point of the leveling-up design is to allow you to see more challenging content without forcing you to go through it.(升级设计的目的是让你看到更具挑战性的内容，而不必强迫你去浏览。)”可知，Duolingo应用程序是通过升级通关模式引领学习者。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段“But the app also has a paid version called Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, allows for lessons’ downloads to mobile devices, provides chances for members to practise their former(以前的) mistakes and more.(但该应用程序也有一个名为Duolingo Plus的付费版本，它可以删除广告，允许将课程下载到移动设备上，为会员提供练习以前错误的机会等等。)”可知，Duolingo Plus可以让学习者练习之前的错误。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But you shouldn’t have unrealistic goals. As long as you don’t expect to become fluent with Duolingo, you’ll find the program very useful.(但你不应该有不切实际的目标。只要你不想使用Duolingo就能让你语言变得很流利，你就会发现这个程序非常有用。)”可知，Duolingo并不能让学者学习的语言变得很流利，所以作者建议语言学习不能完全依赖于Duolingo应用程序。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是第一段“Learn a new language with the world’s most-downloaded education app! Duolingo is a fun, free app for learning 40+ languages through quick, bite-sized lessons.(使用世界上下载量最大的教育应用程序学习一门新语言！Duolingo是一款有趣的免费应用程序，可通过快速、小规模的课程学习40多种语言。)”可知，文章介绍了一款语言学习应用程序——Duolingo，所以A项Duolingo: A Wonderful App(Duolingo:一款出色的应用程序)符合文意。故选A项。 第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。 Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. ____16____ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” ____17____ Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. ____18____ You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. ____19____ That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. ____20____ We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章鼓励人们练习自我宽恕，并提供了一个简单的写作练习来增强自信。通过列出个人的优点和善良的行为，人们可以学会原谅自己的错误，并从中成长。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. (为错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因此而自责。人孰能无过)”可知，作者认为人都会犯错，勇于承担责任固然重要，但是也不要因此而过于自责。结合空后“You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. (你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点)”中的“do this”以及下文内容可推断，空处应该内容和“不要太自责”相似。选项D“It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. (宽恕自己也同样重要)”与“不要太自责”语意相近，起承上启下的作用。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths. ” (在日记或纸上写上“个人优点”)”以及空后内容“Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. (你有爱心吗？有创造力吗？你慷慨吗？是一个好的倾听者？与人相处很有趣吗？它们不一定要改变世界，只要你个性中让你感到自豪的方面就行)”可知，空处指的是列出一些你个性中的优点。选项B“Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. (现在列出所有你喜欢的自己身上的特点)”符合上下文内容，下文内容具体解释那些是优点。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文内容“At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. (在第二页的顶部，写上“善举”的标题。在这张单子上，列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当你帮助朋友做作业的时候，当你没有被要求却主动熨衣服的时候，或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的时候)”可知，本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。选项F“Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. (不管是什么，不管它看起来有多小，都要把它写下来)”与上文内容一致，讲述的是不管你所做的事情不管有多小，只要是好的事情，都记下来。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. (这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们个性中闪光的方面)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意见等。选项C“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. (他们甚至可能想试一试做练习)”符合语境，C项中的“they”与空前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. (你可以让朋友或家人帮你增加你的列表内容。)”中的“a friend or family member”保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. (事实上，不要等到你犯了错误才去尝试这个——这是一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法)”中的“this”一致。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. (大多数人不是从他们的成功中学习，而是从他们的错误中学习，这是陈词滥调。但事实是，这是真的)”可知，作者认为人是从错误中学习。选项G“Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. (不管你犯了什么错误，记住这不是你性格中固定的一面)”符合语境，G项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality”和空后内容“We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (我们一直在改变和学习，错误是一种积极的发展和成长的方式)”保持一致，指的都是犯错并不是性格中固有的一面，我们是通过错误来成长。故选G。 【点睛】 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Why do some people live to be longer than others? You know the standard ____21____: keeping a moderate diet, encouraging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities ____22____ longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question ____23____ the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be a least 100. The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more ____24____ and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a(an) ____25____ life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: Those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough ____26____ to make it through tough times. Interestingly, ____27____, other characteristics that you might consider advantages had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, ____28____, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being ____29____ to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways. Whether you can successfully change your ____30____ as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should ____31____ to be as outgoing as possible. Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help ____32____ your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids ____33____ diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. Therefore, it might be ____34____ to form those personality traits contributing to longevity through health-related behaviours, stress reduction and ____35____ to the challenging problems. 21.

Barry asked Seb, “Shall we make a list of New Year’s resolutions (决心；决定), Seb?” Seb, looking puzzled, replied, “What are revolutions, Grandpa?” Barry smiled and gently corrected him, explaining that a New Year’s resolution is a commitment (承诺) one makes to themselves to start a new one, either by building good habits or giving up bad ones. When it came to deciding on resolutions, Barry said that Seb should eat more vegetables. However, Seb refused, stating that the only vegetable he liked was potatoes, and he already ate them regularly. In turn, Seb pointed out that Barry didn’t eat salad, which is also a type of vegetable. Barry agreed to add “eating vegetables” to his list. They then moved on to talk about Seb tidying up his toys when his mother asked him to. Seb was hesitant, claiming that he needed his toys all the time. He then playfully suggested that Barry should also put away his tools, just as he was expected to with his toys. Seb even came up with a resolution for Barry: not to get cross when it was time for bed. He reminded Barry that he often dozed off (打瞌睡) in front of the TV and disliked going to bed early. Sometime later, Jeanette entered the kitchen and found them focusing on making their lists. Seb eagerly showed her his list, which included tidying away toys after playtime and listening to stories before sleeping. He then handed Jeanette Barry’s rather long list, filled with things she disliked about Barry. Jeanette checked the list and commented that some resolutions, like Barry stopping complaining in the parking lot, seemed difficult to achieve. She came up with an idea — adding “Try to” before each resolution. That night Barry apologized to Jeanette for his past oversights (疏忽). But Jeanette smiled and said she didn’t really mind. She said she would also learn new dishes and build a garden if they made it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress. Barry made it a point to try new salad dishes. He even invited Seb to help him wash the tomatoes, making the experience fun. When it came to parking, although he still complained a bit, he didn’t let his complaints snowball. Seb, on the other hand, was doing his best at bedtime. He would now put away his toys and would lie on his bed, ready to listen to a bedtime story. One evening, when it was time to sleep, he surprised his mother by saying, “I’m a big boy. I’ll go to bed without getting cross.” Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes. She not only started learning new recipes but also began a small gardening project in the backyard. On weekends, the three of them would gather in the garden, Barry sharing his new-found love for salad greens, Seb helping with small tasks, and Jeanette showing off her budding plants. Their New Year was filled with joy and growth, and their family connection grew even stronger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新年前夜，六岁的塞布和祖父母一起制定新年决心。塞布与祖父巴里互相提出改进建议（如多吃蔬菜、整理物品），祖母珍妮特提议在每条决心前加“尝试”。之后三人努力践行，巴里尝试新沙拉、减少抱怨，塞布按时整理玩具，珍妮特学习新菜式并打理花园，一家人在成长中加深了亲情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的推移，巴里和塞布都取得了很大的进步”可知，第一段可描写巴里和塞布的具体改变，如巴里开始多吃蔬菜、不会在停车场停车时一直抱怨等，塞布则在晚上睡觉之前整理好自己的玩具等。 ②由第二段首句内容“受到他们努力的启发，珍妮特也做出了一些改变”可知，第二段可描写珍妮特在巴里和塞布的影响下做出的具体改变，如尝试做新的菜、在自己的院子里种新的植物等。 2.续写线索：取得进步——巴里做出改变——塞布的改变——珍妮特新尝试——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抱怨：complain/ make a complaint about ②聚集：gather/come together ③充满：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②使惊讶：surprise/astonish 【点睛】[高分句型1] When it came to parking, although he still complained a bit, he didn’t let his complaints snowball.（运用了when引导时间状语从句和although引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型2]  On weekends, the three of them would gather in the garden, Barry sharing his new-found love for salad greens, Seb helping with small tasks, and Jeanette showing off her budding plants.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 定远育才学校2026届高三第一次模拟检测 英语试题 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.

A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometres in the dark to get to his new job. The story begins with Walter Carr’s car breaking down the night before starting a new job. Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham — 32 kilometres away. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer’s house by 8:00 am the next morning. Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4:00 am. So, they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8:00 am. The police then took Carr to the home of customer Jenny Lamey. Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest. He just wanted to start working. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen. Jenny Lamey later wrote this on Facebook: “I just can’t tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey. He is kind and cheerful and he has big dreams! He is hard-working and tough.” She then started a GoFundMe page to help Walter with money to get his car fixed. When the CEO of Bellhops, Luke Marklin, learned of Carr’s story, he drove from Tennessee to Alabama to give Walter his own 2014 Ford Escape. Walter Carr’s story touched many others around the United States. Within a few days, people gave over $73,000 to the GoFundMe page. Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation. And he has received more offers for jobs and scholarships for schools. 1. Why did Walter Carr decide to go to work on foot? A. He wanted to challenge himself. B. He wished to be on time for the job. C. He was unable to borrow a car. D. His car was damaged beyond repair. 2. What can we infer about Carr from Paragraph 3? A. He was devoted to his job. B. He was blamed by his customer. C. He called the police for help. D. He started to work after a short break. 3. What kind of person does Lamey think Carr is? A. Cautious. B. Generous. C. Ambitious. D. Sensitive. 4. What message does the text really convey? A. One has to suffer in order to get a good job. B. A good impression is sure to bring one good money. C. One has to give up something in return for donations. D. The efforts to leave a good impression are to pay off. B Here are some things that you can buy as gifts for your friends who are birdwatchers. A window-mounted bird feeder One way to guarantee a close-up look at the birds in your garden is to bring them all the way to the house. This bird feeder is solidly built with strong suction (吸) cups that you can tie to your windows, giving you a good view of your winged visitors. A pair of binoculars Binoculars are a birdwatcher’s best friend! They work like two small telescopes joined together, allowing you to use both eyes to see distant birds as if they were right in front of you. They’re perfect for spotting feathered friends in the wild, whether the birds are high up in the trees or soaring across the sky. When you peer through them, you get a view that makes every little detail of the birds — their colors, beaks, and even the texture of their feathers. The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss This beautifully illustrated book draws readers into the mysterious world of Britain’s favourite bird, the red robin — a familiar sight in all winter gardens, but as naturalist Stephen Moss demonstrates, one we hardly know. Combining convincing storytelling with biological fact, Moss guides us through a year in the life of the robin, from the moment it hatches from its egg to its all too timely mortality (死亡) — the robin tends to live a me re 13 months , adding to its precious quality. A reusable thermal bottle Every good birding expedition needs a bottle of steaming hot tea. A reusable bottle decorated with lifelike drawings of classic British birds combines a natural aesthetic (美感) with practicality. It can keep not only hot drinks but also cold drinks. 5 What do we know about binoculars? A. They can attract birds to your house. B. They show images in black and white. C. They can provide detailed views of birdwatching. D. They’re too heavy to carry for birdwatchers. 6. What does The Robin: A Biography tell us about? A. The lifetime of a bird. B. The death of a bird. C. The quantity of a bird. D. The birth of a bird. 7. What do the last two gifts have in common? A. They involve rare birds B. They attract users with pictures. C. They are for practical use D. They spread bird knowledge C As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of and now must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading. Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age. While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job-architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston. I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons. 8. What does the author consider most important when choosing used books？ A. Their appealing covers. B. Their reasonable prices. C. Their excellent content. D. Their collection value. 9. What does the author realize as he grows older? A. He has a small circle of friends. B. His attitude towards work changes. C. His communication skills improve. D. He has a deeper understanding of life and books. 10 Why does the author mention books on architecture? A. To show some books are worth reading repeatedly. B. To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books. C. To suggest we avoid making poor decisions. D. To explain his love for architecture. 11. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stop throwing away used books. B. He likes updating his collection of used books. C. He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment. D. He enjoys leading an active life in the countryside.

To err (犯错) is human. ____16____ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” ____17____ Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. ____18____ You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. ____19____ That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. ____20____ We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Why do some people live to be longer than others? You know the standard ____21____: keeping a moderate diet, encouraging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities ____22____ longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question ____23____ the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be a least 100. The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more ____24____ and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a(an) ____25____ life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: Those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough ____26____ to make it through tough times. Interestingly, ____27____, other characteristics that you might consider advantages had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, ____28____, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being ____29____ to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways. Whether you can successfully change your ____30____ as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should ____31____ to be as outgoing as possible. Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help ____32____ your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids ____33____ diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. Therefore, it might be ____34____ to form those personality traits contributing to longevity through health-related behaviours, stress reduction and ____35____ to the challenging problems. 21.

Barry asked Seb, “Shall we make a list of New Year’s resolutions (决心；决定), Seb?” Seb, looking puzzled, replied, “What are revolutions, Grandpa?” Barry smiled and gently corrected him, explaining that a New Year’s resolution is a commitment (承诺) one makes to themselves to start a new one, either by building good habits or giving up bad ones. When it came to deciding on resolutions, Barry said that Seb should eat more vegetables. However, Seb refused, stating that the only vegetable he liked was potatoes, and he already ate them regularly. In turn, Seb pointed out that Barry didn’t eat salad, which is also a type of vegetable. Barry agreed to add “eating vegetables” to his list. They then moved on to talk about Seb tidying up his toys when his mother asked him to. Seb was hesitant, claiming that he needed his toys all the time. He then playfully suggested that Barry should also put away his tools, just as he was expected to with his toys. Seb even came up with a resolution for Barry: not to get cross when it was time for bed. He reminded Barry that he often dozed off (打瞌睡) in front of the TV and disliked going to bed early. Sometime later, Jeanette entered the kitchen and found them focusing on making their lists. Seb eagerly showed her his list, which included tidying away toys after playtime and listening to stories before sleeping. He then handed Jeanette Barry’s rather long list, filled with things she disliked about Barry. Jeanette checked the list and commented that some resolutions, like Barry stopping complaining in the parking lot, seemed difficult to achieve. She came up with an idea — adding “Try to” before each resolution. That night Barry apologized to Jeanette for his past oversights (疏忽). But Jeanette smiled and said she didn’t really mind. She said she would also learn new dishes and build a garden if they made it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
