“Are you still climbing all those stairs?” The question comes after friends say, “You’re looking good,” considerately not adding, “for your age.”
“Yup. Still tapping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.”
They shake their heads. Same old question, same old response. They’ve been joking with us about our hardwood stairs ever since we bought this old farmhouse 50 years ago.
There were three flights, one from the main floor bending to the second, a narrow flight to the third — floor rooms, and narrow stairs down to the basement. The stairs didn’t seem a problem when we moved in. We were younger, livelier and ran up and down many times a day without concern. Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to the third floor could be tiring and we’d have to pause to catch our breath on the landings.
Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the “old folks at home” and on his very first visit he looked up at the stairs and said, “These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about putting rubber treads (橡胶踏板) on them?” We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them later because they were dust collectors.
Our son, home from the West Coast for a visit but really to check on his aging parents, suggested, “You might investigate one of those lifts where you sit down, press a button and rise up.”
“What happens if there’s a power failure?” we protested. “And our legs have weakened because of no exercise.”
Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and I’m set for the day. Occasionally my back aches and I’m reduced to a snail’s pace. But speed is no longer a priority.
4. What is the author’s actual intention by responding to her friends in that manner?
A. Show her good physical condition.
B. Defend her daily habit of using stairs.
C. Stop them from asking the same question.
D. Share her happy childhood memories.
5. What troubles the author’s children most about the stairs?
A. Their safety risks.
B. Their tiring nature.
C. Their narrow structure.
D. Their dust problems.
6. How do the stairs benefit the author?
A. They help her keep daily routine.
B. They serve as a reminder of her past.
C. They help her stay active and mobile.
D. They strengthen her family bond.
7. What sort of person is the author?
A. Athletic and humble.
B. Sensitive and traditional.
C. Practical and economical.
D. Determined and independent.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

But speed is no longer a priority. (有些人跑步,有些人开车去健身房,还有些人戴手表来计算步数。但是早餐后上下楼梯几次就能让我的血液流动,肌肉工作,我就能准备好迎接一天了。偶尔我的背会疼,我只能像蜗牛一样慢慢地走。但速度不再是首要考虑的了)”可知,作者坚持自己的生活方式,不受他人影响,表现出坚定和独立的性格。故选D项。
C
An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote, “It is not from the kindness of the butcher, the brewer (酿酒人) or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self - interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.
Firstly, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill in the present age. As a study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy (共情) are better indicators of outstanding employees than technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, extremely competitive and individualistic behavior may damage social relations in the community of co - workers. Even the most competent employee may fail to pursue his goals effectively without others’ help.
Moreover, encouraging cooperation can boost children’s self - respect that better prepares them for the competitive world. Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. Teamwork can help an individual realize each has his or her own unique abilities and that another person’s strengths don’t discount his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can confirm children’s self - worth by correcting the insight that winning or the paper achievement is the only measure of success.
However, critics may claim adapting to competition should be given priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s ambitions, one has to actively fight for opportunities and distinguish oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays a vital role in helping one uncover one’s motivation.
8. What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words?
A. Our society is increasingly interconnected.
B. Our dinner is made out of the regard to markets.
C. Self - interest pushes the development of economies.
D. The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathetic.
9. What does the underlined word “infiltrated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Brightened. B. Decorated. C. Defended. D. Entered.
10. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Competition is the main source of motivation for children.
B. One’s ambitions can be achieved through cooperation.
C. Paper achievement is the primary measure of success.
D Actively fighting for opportunities should be prioritized.
11. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Self-Interest in Modern Economies. B. Boosting Cooperation in Children.
C. Redefining Success in Classrooms. D. Rethinking Competition in Education.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章引用亚当·斯密观点引出合作的重要性,论述了合作是当下珍贵的软技能、能提升孩子自尊,还反驳了应优先适应竞争的观点,表明应鼓励合作以让孩子更好面对未来。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote, ‘It is not from the kindness of the butcher, the brewer (酿酒人) or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.’ Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self - interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. (经济学家亚当·斯密曾写道:“我们期望晚餐不是来自屠夫、酿酒师或面包师的仁慈,而是来自他们对自己利益的关注。”和斯密一样,如今许多经济学家认为,个人利益是推动市场经济竞争和增长的动力。)”可知,从亚当·斯密的话中可以推断出个人利益推动经济的发展。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中“Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. (许多现代社会都被对成功的疯狂追求所吞噬,这种压力已经_____教室和办公室,导致人们焦虑和抑郁的比例上升。)”可知,压力已经进入教室和办公室,导致人们焦虑和抑郁的比例上升,所以“infiltrated”意思是“进入”。D选项“Entered(进入)”与划线词意思相近。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays a vital role in helping one uncover one’s motivation. (尽管外部竞争可以促使人们追求卓越,但内在动机至少同样重要,甚至更为重要,而合作在帮助一个人发现自己的动机方面起着至关重要的作用。)”可知,作者认为合作有助于一个人发现自己的动机,从而帮助实现自己的抱负。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future. (然而,在一个日益互联的社会中,拥有合作技能更为关键。因此,我们应该鼓励合作,让孩子们更好地为未来做好准备。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了合作的重要性,特别是在现代社会中,合作技能对于孩子们的未来至关重要。因此,B选项“Boosting Cooperation in Children (增强孩子们的合作能力)”符合题意。故选B项。
D
As more and more reptilian (爬行类的) species are threatened by habitat loss, scientists and conservationists say that recognizing reptiles’ capability for emotion can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them.
When you hear the words “reptilian” or “cold-blooded”, the first thing that comes to mind might be an uncaring boss. That’s because for decades, reptiles have been characterized as cold and emotionless creatures. But scientists agree that they’re misunderstood.
This misbelief largely arises from the concept of the “reptilian brain”. The term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for survival instincts (本能). According to this misconception, the human brain evolved over time by adding progressively more complicated structures to this fundamental “reptilian brain”, including the limbic system, which is the source of our emotions. Some researchers long believed that without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capability for emotions at all.
Still, scientists have consistently disproven this theory. One study found that handling lizards caused an increase in their heart rate, indicating an emotional response. Another found that red-footed tortoises exhibited anxiety-like behavior when placed in a new environment.
Even as research continues to build, the stereotypes (刻板印象) around reptilian emotions remain. Some research has revealed part of the reason. In 2021, researchers found that lizards give out chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to read than mammals. Humans are more likely to show sympathy for animals that share physical and emotional characteristics with us, which is why many people might have a deeper understanding of dogs and cats than of turtles, for instance.
Our tendency to dismiss reptiles isn’t just psychological — it’s impacted the level of habitat protections they’re afforded. Apodaca, a conservationist from Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, says he’s noticed gaps in species recovery funding for reptiles vs. mammals, birds, and fish. However, he’s also noticed a huge increase in awareness of reptiles’ conservation needs — a development which could prove crucial to fighting habitat loss in the coming years.
12. What is a common misunderstanding about the reptile?
A. They are threatened by habitat loss.
B. They are well attended by pet owners.
C. They are emotionally cold-blooded.
D. They are associated with uncaring people.
13. Which behaviour is managed by the “reptilian brain”?
A. Jumping at a sudden noise. B. Recalling a childhood memory.
C. Drawing a complicated mind - map. D. Feeling anxious in a new environment.
14. What is a cause of the stereotypes about reptiles?
A. They tend to release harmful chemicals. B. They seldom interact within their species.
C. They show emotions differently than humans. D. They have frightening physical characteristics.
15. What is Apodaca’s attitude to the current reptile protection?
A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们对爬行动物情感能力的误解,以及这种误解对爬行动物保护的影响,同时指出人们对爬行动物保护的认识正在提高。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s because for decades, reptiles have been characterized as cold and emotionless creatures. But scientists agree that they’re misunderstood. (这是因为几十年来,爬行动物一直被认为是冷酷无情的生物。但是科学家们也认为它们被误解了)”可知,人们对爬行动物的常见误解是它们情感冷漠。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for survival instincts (本能) . According to this misconception, the human brain evolved over time by adding progressively more complicated structures to this fundamental “reptilian brain”, including the limbic system, which is the source of our emotions. (这个术语指的是我们大脑中用于生存本能的部分。根据这种误解,人类大脑随着时间的推移,通过在这个基本的“爬行动物大脑”上逐渐增加更复杂的结构而进化,包括边缘系统,这是我们情感的来源)”可知,“爬行动物大脑”管理的是生存本能相关的行为。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2021, researchers found that lizards give out chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to read than mammals. Humans are more likely to show sympathy for animals that share physical and emotional characteristics with us, which is why many people might have a deeper understanding of dogs and cats than of turtles, for instance. (2021年,研究人员发现蜥蜴会释放化学物质来相互交流,这意味着它们比哺乳动物更难读懂。人类更有可能对与我们有身体和情感特征的动物表示同情,这就是为什么许多人可能对狗和猫比对乌龟有更深入的了解)”可知,人们对爬行动物的刻板印象是因为它们表达情感的方式与人类不同。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, he’s also noticed a huge increase in awareness of reptiles’ conservation needs — a development which could prove crucial to fighting habitat loss in the coming years. (然而,他也注意到人们对爬行动物保护需求的认识有了巨大提高——这一发展可能对未来几年对抗栖息地丧失至关重要)”可推知,Apodaca对当前的爬行动物保护持乐观态度。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In writing, a stereotype (刻板印象) is an oversimplified and widely accepted idea about a type of person, group, or situation. Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful. ____16____ Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes:
Character Development: Go Beyond First Impressions
____17____ A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.
Plot Structure: Avoid Predictable Storylines
We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending. ____18____ Try going against expectations: maybe the chosen one fails, or the happy ending comes with unexpected costs. Readers appreciate fresh takes on familiar situations.
Descriptive Writing: Show, Don’t Tell Emotions
Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable. ____19____
Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic. ____20____ The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.
A. Aim to surprise, but stay grounded.
B. Such stories follow overly familiar paths.
C. However, they often take away a story’s depth.
D. Therefore, they serve as a powerful tool in writing.
E. By doing so, you let readers feel rather than just read it.
F. Real people are complex, so your creations should be too.
G. After all, most readers prefer plots that are easy to follow.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章聚焦写作中如何突破刻板印象(stereotype),分别从角色塑造、情节构建和情感表达三方面提出具体建议。文章还强调要创造更真实、有层次的文学作品,同时提醒大家避免脱离现实逻辑的反转情节。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful.(刻板印象就是那些看似有用的简单答案)”以及后文“Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes(以下是你可以着力改进的三个关键方面,从而打破刻板印象)”可知,此处需转折说明其弊端。选项C通过“However”承接上文并指出“刻板印象会削弱故事深度”,从而引出主题“如何避免刻板印象”。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据后文“A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.(刻板印象会将人物简化为单一的类型——比如“害羞的书迷”或者“脾气暴躁的运动员”。为了使你的角色更加真实且令人难忘,你可以加入一些出人意料的转折——比如一个喜欢冒险运动的书迷,或者一个会写诗的运动员)”可知,本段讨论如何打破对人物的简化印象,需用一句引导句统领整个段落。选项F指出“真实的人物具有复杂性”,紧扣主题“Go Beyond First Impressions”,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending.(我们总是能看到那些老套的情节:那个被选中的主角以及完美的圆满结局)”可知,本段讲述套路化情节。选项B指出“这类故事情节过于老套”,准确评价并自然引出“Try going against expectations”。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable.(像“她很紧张”这样的简单描述能够表达一种情绪,但往往会让角色显得平淡且落入俗套。相反,通过细节来展现情感,比如“她的手指扭动着,呼吸短促且不均匀”,这样能让人的情感更加鲜活且易于产生共鸣)”可知,前文建议通过细节呈现情感,此处选E“通过这样做,你能让读者产生身临其境的感受,而非仅仅只是阅读而已”说明了这么做的作用。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic.(最后但同样重要的是,避免刻板印象并不意味着要写出不切实际的内容。即便是最富有想象力的创新违背了基本逻辑,也会失去其影响力)”以及后文“The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.(最令人难忘的故事往往是那些以新颖的方式表达出普遍真理的故事)”可知,本段总结全文,强调创新不能脱离现实逻辑。选项A“力求给人带来惊喜,但也要保持脚踏实地”符合语境。故选A。

Having eased my way into the parking lot, I looked through the crowd, but couldn’t find the ____21____ face. I took a deep breath and tried to control my anxiety. “It’s been too long, and I’ve gone this far,” I ____22____ myself, shutting off the engine.
As I approached the restaurant, ____23____ with Teresa came rushing back. We had been close ____24____ for ages. A huge disagreement, however, caused us to ____25____. I often thought of reaching out to her, but then I would think, “If she ____26____, why wouldn’t she get in touch with me?”
It was Teresa’s birthday a month before, and that ____27____ me to look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I ____28____ found her photo, with signature broad smile. I ____29____ her, saying how much I’d missed her over the past decade... Finally, I suggested meeting up. When I didn’t hear back, I figured she had something ____30____ in mind. But then she finally reached out, and we ____31____ this lunch.
After my third cup of coffee, I ____32____ myself to the fact that Teresa wasn’t coming. No call, no message — maybe it was too late to ____33____ the friendship.
Just as I was paying the bill, Teresa appeared, apologizing for her ____34____ and the radio silence. I ____35____ her midway, “It’s okay. I’m just glad you’re here!” We hugged each other tightly. It was so nice to be back in touch. If I hadn’t taken that leap of faith, I would have missed out on a wonderful friendship.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国古代日晷的计时功能、文化意义及其体现的宇宙观与人文价值。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:这些日晷带有指针和晷面,通过指针在晷面上投射的影子来指示一天中的时间。此处为谓语动词,use与主语之间为被动关系,描述过去的被动动作,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语These sundials是复数,所以用were used。故填were used。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尤其是在紫禁城中发现的那些日晷,不仅仅是一种计时工具。此处为非谓语动词作定语,those指代sundials,与find为被动关系,所以用过去分词found。故填found。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尤其是在紫禁城中发现的那些日晷,不仅仅是一种计时工具。device为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一种计时工具”为泛指,且time-telling是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:在农业中,精准计时对农耕活动至关重要,比如播种和收割。此处连接planting和harvesting两个并列名词,表示并列关系,所以用连词and。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国古代天文学家利用日晷观测天象,这些天象被认为是宇宙中的事件的征兆。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词phenomena in the sky指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:在古代文化中,精准测量时间的能力是权力与智慧的象征。此处修饰动词measure,用precise的副词形式precisely意为“精准地”。故填precisely。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:此外,日晷在当时常被用作公共场所的装饰品,成为日常生活的一部分,而其复杂的设计与雕刻也成为展现文化价值的一种方式。此处被形容词decorative修饰,表示一类事物,应用可数名词复数形式,所以用pieces。故填pieces。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但最令人着迷的或许是日晷蕴含着宇宙的奥秘。此处修饰名词idea作定语,表示“令人着迷的”,用fascinate的形容词形式fascinating意为“令人着迷的”。故填fascinating。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:日晷上指针与刻度的精准位置被视为自然秩序与和谐的体现。此处为固定搭配be viewed as,意为“被视为、被看作”,所以用介词as。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这是人们与宏大万物体系相连并理解自身位置的一种方式。此处为固定句型a way for sb. to do sth.,意为“某人做某事的方式”,所以用动词不定式to connect作后置定语。故填to connect。

【答案】范文
A Small Change for a Healthier You
As high school students, we tend to believe that big changes are needed for better health. However, a small but effective change I want to share is to integrate a 10-minute daily walk into our campus routine.
This change requires no extra equipment: we can walk around the campus after lunch, or take a casual stroll on the playground between classes. This simple habit brings multiple practical benefits. Not only does it help with food digestion but also prevents us from feeling sluggish, helping us stay focused in class. Beyond these immediate benefits, it’s a gentle start to a more active lifestyle.
Stick to this simple routine, and you will gradually embrace a healthier body and a sharper mind, making every day more energetic and productive.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: As the students worked. Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief washed over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Paragraph 2: Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enomious canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Mary是小学美术老师,一次课上,她发现Akila对画画不感兴趣,而Tina画得天马行空而遭到同学们嘲笑,最后Mary意识到她限制了孩子们的想象力,所以第二天,Mary宣布将创作一个名为“我们的梦想世界”的集体艺术品,没有任何规则。孩子们可以随意使用颜色、形状和图案。一个接一个,孩子们开始作画了...
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当学生们画画时,Mary好奇地看着他们”可以预测续写这段主要内容: 孩子们相互帮助完成画作。
②由第二段首句内容“Mary退后一步,打量着创造的画作。”可以预测续写这段主要内容:Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶,决定举办画展并邀请他们家长参与。
2.续写线索: Mary看孩子们作画——孩子们对作画表现出兴趣——相互帮助完成画作—— Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶——决定举办画展

“Are you still climbing all those stairs?” The question comes after friends say, “You’re looking good,” considerately not adding, “for your age.”
“Yup. Still tapping up and down.” I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. “Just like Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago.”
They shake their heads. Same old question, same old response. They’ve been joking with us about our hardwood stairs ever since we bought this old farmhouse 50 years ago.
There were three flights, one from the main floor bending to the second, a narrow flight to the third — floor rooms, and narrow stairs down to the basement. The stairs didn’t seem a problem when we moved in. We were younger, livelier and ran up and down many times a day without concern. Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to the third floor could be tiring and we’d have to pause to catch our breath on the landings.
Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the “old folks at home” and on his very first visit he looked up at the stairs and said, “These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about putting rubber treads (橡胶踏板) on them?” We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them later because they were dust collectors.
Our son, home from the West Coast for a visit but really to check on his aging parents, suggested, “You might investigate one of those lifts where you sit down, press a button and rise up.”
“What happens if there’s a power failure?” we protested. “And our legs have weakened because of no exercise.”
Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and I’m set for the day. Occasionally my back aches and I’m reduced to a snail’s pace. But speed is no longer a priority.
4. What is the author’s actual intention by responding to her friends in that manner?
A. Show her good physical condition.
B. Defend her daily habit of using stairs.
C. Stop them from asking the same question.
D. Share her happy childhood memories.
5. What troubles the author’s children most about the stairs?
A. Their safety risks.
B. Their tiring nature.
C. Their narrow structure.
D Their dust problems.
6. How do the stairs benefit the author?
A. They help her keep daily routine.
B. They serve as a reminder of her past.
C. They help her stay active and mobile.
D. They strengthen her family bond.
7. What sort of person is the author?
A. Athletic and humble.
B. Sensitive and traditional.
C. Practical and economical.
D. Determined and independent.
C
An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote, “It is not from the kindness of the butcher, the brewer (酿酒人) or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self - interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.
Firstly, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill in the present age. As a study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy (共情) are better indicators of outstanding employees than technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, extremely competitive and individualistic behavior may damage social relations in the community of co - workers. Even the most competent employee may fail to pursue his goals effectively without others’ help.
Moreover, encouraging cooperation can boost children’s self - respect that better prepares them for the competitive world. Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. Teamwork can help an individual realize each has his or her own unique abilities and that another person’s strengths don’t discount his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can confirm children’s self - worth by correcting the insight that winning or the paper achievement is the only measure of success.
However, critics may claim adapting to competition should be given priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s ambitions, one has to actively fight for opportunities and distinguish oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays a vital role in helping one uncover one’s motivation.

As more and more reptilian (爬行类的) species are threatened by habitat loss, scientists and conservationists say that recognizing reptiles’ capability for emotion can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them.
When you hear the words “reptilian” or “cold-blooded” the first thing that comes to mind might be an uncaring boss. That’s because for decades, reptiles have been characterized as cold and emotionless creatures. But scientists agree that they’re misunderstood.
This misbelief largely arises from the concept of the “reptilian brain”. The term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for survival instincts (本能). According to this misconception, the human brain evolved over time by adding progressively more complicated structures to this fundamental “reptilian brain”, including the limbic system, which is the source of our emotions. Some researchers long believed that without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capability for emotions at all.
Still, scientists have consistently disproven this theory. One study found that handling lizards caused an increase in their heart rate, indicating an emotional response. Another found that red-footed tortoises exhibited anxiety-like behavior when placed in a new environment.
Even as research continues to build, the stereotypes (刻板印象) around reptilian emotions remain. Some research has revealed part of the reason. In 2021, researchers found that lizards give out chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to read than mammals. Humans are more likely to show sympathy for animals that share physical and emotional characteristics with us, which is why many people might have a deeper understanding of dogs and cats than of turtles, for instance.
Our tendency to dismiss reptiles isn’t just psychological — it’s impacted the level of habitat protections they’re afforded. Apodaca a conservationist from Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, says he’s noticed gaps in species recovery funding for reptiles vs. mammals, birds, and fish. However, he’s also noticed a huge increase in awareness of reptiles’ conservation needs — a development which could prove crucial to fighting habitat loss in the coming years.
12. What is a common misunderstanding about the reptile?
A. They are threatened by habitat loss.
B. They are well attended by pet owners.
C. They are emotionally cold-blooded.
D. They are associated with uncaring people.
13. Which behaviour is managed by the “reptilian brain”?
A. Jumping at a sudden noise. B. Recalling a childhood memory.
C. Drawing a complicated mind - map. D. Feeling anxious in a new environment.
14. What is a cause of the stereotypes about reptiles?
A. They tend to release harmful chemicals. B. They seldom interact within their species.
C. They show emotions differently than humans. D. They have frightening physical characteristics.
15. What is Apodaca’s attitude to the current reptile protection?
A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In writing, a stereotype (刻板印象) is an oversimplified and widely accepted idea about a type of person, group, or situation. Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful. ____16____ Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes:
Character Development: Go Beyond First Impressions
____17____ A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.
Plot Structure: Avoid Predictable Storylines
We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending. ____18____ Try going against expectations: maybe the chosen one fails, or the happy ending comes with unexpected costs. Readers appreciate fresh takes on familiar situations.
Descriptive Writing: Show, Don’t Tell Emotions
Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable. ____19____
Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic. ____20____ The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.
A. Aim to surprise, but stay grounded.
B. Such stories follow overly familiar paths.
C. However, they often take away a story’s depth.
D. Therefore, they serve as a powerful tool in writing.
E. By doing so, you let readers feel rather than just read it.
F. Real people are complex, so your creations should be too.
G. After all, most readers prefer plots that are easy to follow.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity.

Mary stood back and surveyed the creation.
