On busy days, he rushes into the lodge (小屋), grabs a quick plate of noodles, and checks his phone for reminders, with extra time spent filming students on the slopes. One afternoon, he guided a girl from Harbin down the challenging 36-degree Asian Avenue slope, a symbol of honor among experienced skiers. Despite initial hesitation, she skied down safely with his encouragement. Huoran adjusted his distance to ease her nerves, helping her carve clear turns until she got the perfect shot. Filming has become part of Huoran’s job. He records nearly every student, and a growing number of clients hire him for videos shared on social media. This season, he has taught over 500 students, sometimes five or six a day on busy weekends. Huoran started snowboarding at six and worked at a ski resort at 15. Self-taught at first, he later joined his school’s skiing team, training before dawn and after dark. As skiing took off in China, Xinjiang turned into a top winter destination with expanded resorts. Huoran then realized skiing could be more than a hobby and pursued it as a career. Supported by local authorities and his village, Huoran took professional training, passed exams, and got his ski instructor certification. “Hard work meant being under the sun and wind all day, often alone,” Huoran says, reflecting on his journey from hard labor to coach. “Now I’m doing what I truly love.” On his social media account, Huoran shares skiing tips, behind-the-scenes filming experiences, and the snowy landscapes of his hometown. He hopes not only to teach more people to ski, but also to help others like him discover new career paths on the slopes. Nearby villagers have opened guesthouses and restaurants, as well as strawberry-picking gardens that stay open late for skiers. Tourism, once busy only in summer, now grows rapidly year-round. 4. What do we know about Huoran’s present job? A. He teaches skiing without any professional certification. B. He only teaches basic skiing techniques in his spare time. C. He combines ski teaching with video filming for students. D. He works full-time as a social media influencer. 5. Why did Huoran keep a proper distance when guiding the girl from Harbin? A. To avoid being filmed in her video. B. To help her stay calm and confident. C. To teach her to ski independently. D. To protect himself from danger. 6. What contributed greatly to Huoran’s turning his skiing hobby into a career? A. The popularity of local tourism. B. His professional training in filming. C. His early experience of working on a farm. D. Support from local authorities and his village. 7. Which of the following can best describe Huoran? A. Hard-working and ambitious. B. Caring and outgoing. C. Independent and devoted. D. Generous and humorous. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述19岁的滑雪教练胡冉·塔纳依东，把滑雪爱好发展为职业，在教授滑雪的同时为学生拍摄视频，还带动家乡旅游业发展的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Filming has become part of Huoran’s job. He records nearly every student, and a growing number of clients hire him for videos shared on social media. This season, he has taught over 500 students, sometimes five or six a day on busy weekends.(拍摄已经成为胡冉工作的一部分。他几乎为每一个学生录制视频，越来越多的客户聘请他拍摄用于在社交媒体上分享的视频。这个雪季，他已经教了500多名学生，在繁忙的周末有时一天要教五六名学生。)”可知，胡冉目前的工作是将滑雪教学与为学生拍摄视频相结合。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One afternoon, he guided a girl from Harbin down the challenging 36-degree Asian Avenue slope, a symbol of honor among experienced skiers. Despite initial hesitation, she skied down safely with his encouragement. Huoran adjusted his distance to ease her nerves, helping her carve clear turns until she got the perfect shot.(一天下午，他带着一位来自哈尔滨的女孩，滑下了难度颇高的36 度亚洲大道雪坡—— 这在资深滑雪爱好者心中是荣誉的象征。 女孩起初有些犹豫，但在他的鼓励下顺利安全滑下。Huoran适时调整距离缓解她的紧张，帮她划出流畅的转弯动作，直到她拍出了完美的照片。)”可知，胡冉在指导来自哈尔滨的女孩时保持适当距离，是为了帮助她保持冷静和自信。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Supported by local authorities and his village, Huoran took professional training, passed exams, and got his ski instructor certification. “Hard work meant being under the sun and wind all day, often alone,” Huoran says, reflecting on his journey from hard labor to coach. “Now I’m doing what I truly love.”(在当地政府和他所在村庄的支持下，胡冉接受了专业培训，通过考试并获得了滑雪教练证书。胡冉在回顾自己从辛苦劳作到成为教练的历程时说：“努力工作意味着整天在风吹日晒下，而且常常是独自一人。现在我在做自己真正热爱的事情。”)”可知，当地政府和他所在村庄的支持对胡冉将滑雪爱好转变为职业起到了很大的促进作用。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。从文中提到胡冉6岁开始滑雪，15岁就在滑雪场工作，且接受专业训练时整天风吹日晒独自努力，可知他工作努力；又根据最后一段中的“He hopes not only to teach more people to ski, but also to help others like him discover new career paths on the slopes.(他不仅希望教更多的人滑雪，还希望帮助像他一样的人在雪道上发现新的职业道路。)”可知，他有远大抱负。所以胡冉是一个勤奋且有抱负的人。故选A项。 C What does it take to become the best at something? According to recent research published in Science, the answer may not lie in early excellence or lifelong highly focused dedication. Instead, the path to exceptional skill might be more winding. The study found that individuals who showed the greatest promise in a discipline during childhood rarely went on to reach the peak of their field as adults. These findings blow up the famous “10,000-hour rule”, the idea that deliberate (刻意地) practice for 10,000 hours leads to mastery. That rule was based on a 1993 study of violin students who had accumulated (积累) 10,000 hours of practice by age 20, yet they were not world-class performers. “Compared with national-class performers, world-class performers often started their discipline later.” psychologist Brooke Macnamara explains. They tend to engage in multiple activities early on and don’t shine in one particular area at a young age. “They accumulate less practice in their discipline and more in others, then rise to the top relatively late,” she says. This pattern doesn’t follow deliberate practice theory. However, researchers emphasize this doesn’t mean practice and effort are unnecessary. Instead, it shows that top adult performers tend to be late developers. In sports, for instance, world-class athletes peak later than national-class athletes. Those who peak early reach a level that is best for their age, but not as high as what the other group will eventually achieve. The findings are noteworthy, says psychologist Edson Filho. He notes that athletes in certain sports like gymnastics hit peak performance far earlier. He adds that this analysis doesn’t address other factors such as money and coaching that influence who becomes the cream of the crop. The research emphasizes that people change. Children can get burned out or lose interest. To become an expert, you need to consistently perform at a high level under the most challenging conditions, and that’s a long journey. 8. What does the underlined phrase “blow up” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Support. B. Confirm. C. Challenge. D. Introduce. 9. What are the characteristics of most world-class performers? A. They achieved top performance relatively late. B. They started their field at an early age. C. They focused on only one activity early on. D. They accumulated more practice in their field young. 10. What do researchers stress about deliberate practice? A. It is of no use for late developers. B. It is not the only factor for success. C. It works better for athletes than for artists. D. It should be replaced by a new learning theory. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Early Excellence: A Ticket to Success B. Deliberate Practice: The Key to Mastery C. Multiple Activities: The Secret of Talent D. Late Developers: The Road to Excellence 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项科学研究发现，成为某领域最优秀者的途径并非早期卓越或终身高度专注投入，世界级表现者往往是大器晚成，挑战了“10000小时定律”。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The study found that individuals who showed the greatest promise in a discipline during childhood rarely went on to reach the peak of their field as adults. These findings blow up the famous “10,000-hour rule”, the idea that deliberate (刻意地) practice for 10,000 hours leads to mastery. That rule was based on a 1993 study of violin students who had accumulated (积累) 10,000 hours of practice by age 20, yet they were not world-class performers.(研究发现，那些在童年时期在某一学科表现出最大潜力的人，成年后很少能达到他们所在领域的巅峰。这些发现blow up著名的“10000小时定律”，即刻意练习10000小时就能精通的观点。该定律基于1993年对小提琴学生的一项研究，这些学生在20岁时已经积累了10000小时的练习时间，但他们并不是世界级的表演者。)”可知，研究结果表明童年表现出色的人成年后未必能达领域巅峰，且20岁积累10000小时练习的小提琴学生也未成为世界级表演者，所以这些发现是对“10000小时定律”的挑战。“blow up”意思应是“挑战”，与challenge同义。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Compared with national-class performers, world-class performers often started their discipline later.” psychologist Brooke Macnamara explains. They tend to engage in multiple activities early on and don’t shine in one particular area at a young age. “They accumulate less practice in their discipline and more in others, then rise to the top relatively late,” she says.(心理学家布鲁克·麦克纳马拉解释说：“与国家级表演者相比，世界级表演者往往较晚开始他们的专业训练”他们往往早期参与多种活动，在年轻时并非在某一特定领域崭露头角。她说：“他们在自己专业领域积累的练习较少，在其他方面积累得更多，然后相对较晚才达到巅峰。”)”可知，大多数世界级表现者的特点是相对较晚才达到顶级表现，故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, researchers emphasize this doesn’t mean practice and effort are unnecessary. Instead, it shows that top adult performers tend to be late developers.(然而，研究人员强调，这并不意味着练习和努力是不必要的。相反，这表明顶级的成年表现者往往是大器晚成者。)”以及第五段“He adds that this analysis doesn’t address other factors such as money and coaching that influence who becomes the cream of the crop.(他补充说，这项分析没有涉及其他因素，比如影响谁能成为佼佼者的资金和指导。)”可知，研究人员强调刻意练习不是成功的唯一因素，故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇提出成为某领域最优秀者的途径可能并非传统认为的那样，接着通过研究表明世界级表现者往往开始专业训练较晚，相对较晚达到巅峰，是大器晚成者，最后强调成为专家是漫长过程，综合可知“Late Developers: The Road to Excellence(大器晚成者：通往卓越之路)”最适合做文章标题，故选D项。 D A person visiting an eye doctor for an annual exam sits in front of a desk-top machine equipped with a bright red headset and eyepiece. The patient is told to hold still while one eye is briefly scanned by an infrared light-based method that can image the retina (视网膜) with a matchless level of detail, obtaining high-resolution images within seconds. This painless scanning technique, known as optical coherence tomography (OCT), is used millions of times per year in the US to identify eye diseases. But research suggests it may be used to detect early brain changes caused by Alzheimer’s disease, even years before symptoms appear. Such an application is possible because the retina is part of the central nervous system and shares many of the same cells and structures of the brain. Numerous studies have found that many of Alzheimer’s indicators are visible in the eyes of people who have died with the disease. The features of Alzheimer’s can be detected long before cognitive (认知) symptoms appear. Alzheimer’s disease begins slowly, with changes in the brain that can occur years, if not decades, before symptoms appear. To stop it in its tracks, we need early detection — ideally before the brain’s architecture is damaged. This insight has brought new urgency to the search for reliable biomarkers. In recent years, researchers have made progress in developing blood and spinal fluid (脊髓液) tests that indicate the presence of Alzheimer’s features. For example, amyloid PET imaging, the current gold standard, uses radioactive tracers to detect harmful proteins in the brain, but it is costly and technically demanding. As promising as new blood tests are, detecting Alzheimer’s in millions of at-risk individuals requires tools that are not only accurate but also affordable and scalable. OCT may meet these needs. As a widely available and widely applicable method of early detection, OCT could be practical for population screening in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Japan, China, and South Korea. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By describing a common scene. B. By presenting research findings. C. By explaining a medical term. D. By comparing different techniques. 13. What makes OCT a potential tool for detecting Alzheimer’s disease? A. It can create images of the brain directly. B. It helps discover eye problems at an early age. C. It reveals brain-related changes in the retina. D. It tracks the progression of cognitive decline. 14. What is the disadvantage of amyloid PET imaging? A. It cannot find early signs of Alzheimer’s. B. It is expensive and difficult to operate. C. It produces inaccurate results easily. D. It relies on too many blood samples. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward OCT’s future application? A. Neutral. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍光学相干断层扫描（OCT）这种常用于眼部检查的技术，可能用于早期检测阿尔茨海默病，以及与其他检测方法相比，它在未来应用上的优势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A person visiting an eye doctor for an annual exam sits in front of a desk-top machine equipped with a bright red headset and eyepiece. The patient is told to hold still while one eye is briefly scanned by an infrared light - based method that can image the retina (视网膜) with a matchless level of detail, obtaining high-resolution images within seconds.(一个人去看眼科医生进行年度检查，坐在一台配备有亮红色耳机和目镜的台式机器前。患者被告知要保持静止，同时一只眼睛被一种基于红外线的方法短暂扫描，这种方法可以以无与伦比的细节水平对视网膜进行成像，并在几秒钟内获得高分辨率图像。)”并结合下文介绍该方法可能用于早期阿尔茨海默病可知，作者描述了患者在眼科诊所进行眼部检查的常见场景，以此引入话题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Such an application is possible because the retina is part of the central nervous system and shares many of the same cells and structures of the brain. Numerous studies have found that many of Alzheimer’s indicators are visible in the eyes of people who have died with the disease. The features of Alzheimer’s can be detected long before cognitive (认知) symptoms appear.(这种应用是可能的，因为视网膜是中枢神经系统的一部分，与大脑有许多相同的细胞和结构。大量研究发现，许多阿尔茨海默病的指标在死于该疾病的人的眼睛中是可见的。在认知症状出现之前很久就可以检测到阿尔茨海默病的特征。)”可知，视网膜与大脑有许多相同的细胞和结构，OCT能通过检测视网膜中与大脑相关的变化，来作为检测阿尔茨海默病的潜在工具。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“For example, amyloid PET imaging, the current gold standard, uses radioactive tracers to detect harmful proteins in the brain, but it is costly and technically demanding.(例如，淀粉样蛋白PET成像，目前的黄金标准，使用放射性示踪剂来检测大脑中的有害蛋白质，但它成本高昂且技术要求高。)”可知，淀粉样蛋白PET成像的缺点是昂贵且操作困难。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As promising as new blood tests are, detecting Alzheimer’s in millions of at - risk individuals requires tools that are not only accurate but also affordable and scalable. OCT may meet these needs. As a widely available and widely applicable method of early detection, OCT could be practical for population screening in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Japan, China, and South Korea.(尽管新的血液测试很有前景，但要在数百万有患病风险的个体中检测出阿尔茨海默病，需要的工具不仅要准确，而且要价格合理且可扩展。OCT可能满足这些需求。作为一种广泛可用且广泛适用的早期检测方法，OCT对于世界许多地区，包括北美、欧洲、日本、中国和韩国的人群筛查可能是切实可行的。)”可知，作者认为OCT可能满足检测阿尔茨海默病所需的多种条件，对其未来应用持乐观态度。故选D项。 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。 Trust is a powerful emotion that builds relationships and connections.

In Chinese culture, the horse is a symbol of strength, courage and success. The horse on the new stamp is racing forward ____37____ its mane (鬃毛) pointing upward, conveying a message of marching forward ____38____ (confident). The inspiration for the horse stamp comes from ____39____ artwork known as Horse Treading on Flying Swallow, which ____40____ (date) back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). The background geometric patterns ____41____ (inspire) by the Buddhist Mogao Caves at Dunhuang in Gansu Province, particularly its caisson ceilings, a ceiling decoration in ancient China. The stamp’s colors are also based on paints commonly____42____(find) in Dunhuang’s murals (壁画). Jujube red is chosen as the main color. It shows the elegance of the horse and conveys the blessing of ____43____ (happy) and peace in Chinese culture. The designer, Pan Hu, ____44____ focused on innovation, aimed to present modern beauty based on traditional Chinese culture. Instead of simply copying traditional patterns, he deconstructed and reshaped them to work out symmetrical (对称的) designs, hoping that the design would be ____45____ (appeal) to most people. 【答案】36. to celebrate 37. with 38. confidently 39. an 40. dates 41. are inspired 42. found 43. happiness 44. who 45. appealing 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了1月16日联合国邮政管理局发行了一套10枚面值1.70美元的特种邮票，以庆祝中国农历马年。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：1月16日，联合国邮政管理局发行了一套10枚面值1.70美元的特种邮票，以庆祝中国农历马年。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示发行邮票的目的是庆祝马年，所以用to celebrate。故填to celebrate。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：新邮票上的马向前奔跑，鬃毛向上竖起，传达出自信向前的信息。此处为“with +宾语+宾补”结构，作伴随状语，表示马奔跑时鬃毛竖起的状态，所以用with。故填with。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：新邮票上的马向前奔跑，鬃毛向上竖起，传达出自信向前的信息。此处修饰动词短语marching forward，应用副词confidently，意为“自信地”。故填confidently。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这枚马邮票的灵感来自一件名为《马踏飞燕》的艺术品，它可以追溯到东汉时期（公元25年-220年）。此处表示泛指“一件艺术品”，artwork是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：这枚马邮票的灵感来自一件名为《马踏飞燕》的艺术品，它可以追溯到东汉时期（公元25年 - 220年）。句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语which指代artwork，是单数，所以用dates，date back to意为“追溯到”，无被动形式。故填dates。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：背景几何图案的灵感来自甘肃省敦煌的佛教莫高窟，特别是其藻井天花板，这是中国古代的一种天花板装饰。句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语The background geometric patterns与inspire之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，所以用are inspired。故填are inspired。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：邮票的颜色也基于敦煌壁画中常见的颜料。句中已有谓语动词are based，所以此处应用非谓语动词，paints与find之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词found作后置定语，修饰paints。故填found。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：它展现了马的优雅，并在中国文化中传达了幸福与和平的祝福。根据and后的peace可知，此处应用名词happiness，意为“幸福”，与peace并列，作of的宾语，happiness是不可数名词。故填happiness。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：设计师潘虎专注于创新，旨在以中国传统文化为基础展现现代美。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是The designer, Pan Hu，指人，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他没有简单地复制传统图案，而是对其进行解构和重塑，以设计出对称的图案，希望这个设计能吸引大多数人。be appealing to为固定短语，意为“对……有吸引力”，形容词作表语。故填appealing。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Alex十分关注中国近年来在生态环境保护与绿色发展方面取得的成就，特意来信询问你家乡在环境改善方面的具体变化。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： （1）过去存在的环境问题； （2）治理措施及成果。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alex, I’m more than glad to receive your letter asking about the environmental improvements in my hometown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Alex, I’m more than glad to receive your letter asking about the environmental improvements in my hometown.

And we had not seen him for almost a year. He desperately wanted us to come for a visit. I am by nature a homebody and very unwilling to fly. The thought of flying alone on such a long journey was terrifying, as my husband Len was unable to get away due to work. Finally, I gave in and made my travel plans. About two weeks before I was due to leave, Len and I had the opportunity to visit our daughter Anne at Indiana University. Anne, our only daughter, was the last bird to leave the nest. It seemed like only yesterday that I was tucking (盖被子) her into bed with her favorite teddy bear Kiki. When she left home for college, she packed her best companion Kiki along with her. Now she was a lovely young woman, off on her own. We had a great parents’ weekend — cheering at the football game, eating at nice restaurants, and laughing together. We met her new friends and saw how much she enjoyed her new life. Anne is very perceptive (有洞察力的) and knew the journey to Germany was weighing heavily on my mind. Not only am I a nervous flyer, but being away from Len and home for two weeks would be a first for me. After the weekend, it was time to drive back home. Anne handed me a gift bag and told me not to open it until she texted me in the car. After about half an hour, her text finally came: Tuck me in your arms so tight While you travel through the night Across that great blue sea To visit AJ, Matt and Sunny. Please take me to the ones I dearly miss And bring me back a hug and kiss. So I’m yours to borrow To keep you from sorrow As you travel alone, so brave To make the memories you will save. Open! 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I reached into the gift bag with trembling (颤抖的) hands and pulled out the gift. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kiki became my constant companion all the way to Germany. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I reached into the gift bag with trembling hands and pulled out the gift. It was Kiki, the teddy bear that had been Anne’s closest friend since childhood. Its soft fur was a little faded, and there was a small patch on its paw, all the little marks that made it unique and dear. I pressed it to my chest, and warm tears rolled down my cheeks. Anne’s sweet poem and this thoughtful gift had touched my heart deeply, chasing away all the worry and fear that had clouded my mind for weeks. I quickly sent her a photo of me holding Kiki, typing that it was the best gift I’d ever received. Kiki became my constant companion all the way to Germany. I clutched it tightly during the long flight, its soft body being a comfort through the bumpy parts and the lonely hours of the night. When I finally met baby AJ, I placed Kiki gently beside the little one, a little piece of Anne with us halfway across the world. During my stay, Kiki sat with me at the dining table, watched AJ play and giggle, and lay by my pillow each night. On the flight back, in my arms was still Kiki, a precious reminder of the love that makes every lonely journey feel safe and bridges all the distance between us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述“我”的儿子Matthew和儿媳Sunny在德国生下孩子Azriel Jadyn，儿子希望 “我”去探望，但“我 生性恋家且害怕独自长途飞行。在出发前约两周，“我”和丈夫Len去印第安纳大学看望女Anne，度过愉快的周末。离开时Anne 给“我”一个礼物袋并让“我”在收到短信后打开，之后“我”收到短信和一首诗。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我颤抖着双手伸进礼品袋，拿出了礼物。”可知，第一段可描写“我”发现礼物是女儿最喜欢的毛绒玩具，并表达对女儿的感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“奇奇一路陪伴我到了德国”可知，第二段可描写在去德国的一路上，Kiki一直陪伴着 “我”让孤独旅程变得安心，跨越了距离。 2.续写线索：拿出礼物发现是Kiki——感动落泪驱散担忧——发照片致谢——Kiki陪伴去德国——飞行中带来安慰——在德国见证生活点滴——返程仍陪伴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①感动：touch/move ②驱离：chase away/drive away ③放置：place /put 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/fright ②担忧：worry/concern 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Anne’s sweet poem and this thoughtful gift had touched my heart deeply, chasing away all the worry and fear that had clouded my mind for weeks.（运用了that引导的定语从句和现在分词作状语） 【高分句型 2】When I finally met baby AJ, I placed Kiki gently beside the little one, a little piece of Anne with us halfway across the world.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三第一次模拟考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B At a resort(度假胜地) on the outskirts of Urumqi, capital of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, 19-year-old ski coach Huoran Tanaidong often has little time to rest between day and night skiing sessions. On busy days, he rushes into the lodge (小屋), grabs a quick plate of noodles, and checks his phone for reminders, with extra time spent filming students on the slopes. One afternoon, he guided a girl from Harbin down the challenging 36-degree Asian Avenue slope, a symbol of honor among experienced skiers. Despite initial hesitation, she skied down safely with his encouragement. Huoran adjusted his distance to ease her nerves, helping her carve clear turns until she got the perfect shot. Filming has become part of Huoran’s job. He records nearly every student, and a growing number of clients hire him for videos shared on social media. This season, he has taught over 500 students, sometimes five or six a day on busy weekends. Huoran started snowboarding at six and worked at a ski resort at 15. Self-taught at first, he later joined his school’s skiing team, training before dawn and after dark. As skiing took off in China, Xinjiang turned into a top winter destination with expanded resorts. Huoran then realized skiing could be more than a hobby and pursued it as a career. Supported by local authorities and his village, Huoran took professional training, passed exams, and got his ski instructor certification. “Hard work meant being under the sun and wind all day, often alone,” Huoran says, reflecting on his journey from hard labor to coach. “Now I’m doing what I truly love.” On his social media account, Huoran shares skiing tips, behind-the-scenes filming experiences, and the snowy landscapes of his hometown. He hopes not only to teach more people to ski, but also to help others like him discover new career paths on the slopes. Nearby villagers have opened guesthouses and restaurants, as well as strawberry-picking gardens that stay open late for skiers. Tourism, once busy only in summer, now grows rapidly year-round. 4. What do we know about Huoran’s present job? A. He teaches skiing without any professional certification. B. He only teaches basic skiing techniques in his spare time. C. He combines ski teaching with video filming for students. D. He works full-time as a social media influencer. 5. Why did Huoran keep a proper distance when guiding the girl from Harbin? A. To avoid being filmed in her video. B. To help her stay calm and confident. C. To teach her to ski independently. D. To protect himself from danger. 6. What contributed greatly to Huoran’s turning his skiing hobby into a career? A. The popularity of local tourism. B. His professional training in filming. C. His early experience of working on a farm. D. Support from local authorities and his village. 7. Which of the following can best describe Huoran? A. Hard-working and ambitious. B. Caring and outgoing. C. Independent and devoted. D. Generous and humorous. C What does it take to become the best at something? According to recent research published in Science, the answer may not lie in early excellence or lifelong highly focused dedication. Instead, the path to exceptional skill might be more winding. The study found that individuals who showed the greatest promise in a discipline during childhood rarely went on to reach the peak of their field as adults. These findings blow up the famous “10,000-hour rule”, the idea that deliberate (刻意地) practice for 10,000 hours leads to mastery. That rule was based on a 1993 study of violin students who had accumulated (积累) 10,000 hours of practice by age 20, yet they were not world-class performers. “Compared with national-class performers, world-class performers often started their discipline later.” psychologist Brooke Macnamara explains. They tend to engage in multiple activities early on and don’t shine in one particular area at a young age. “They accumulate less practice in their discipline and more in others, then rise to the top relatively late,” she says. This pattern doesn’t follow deliberate practice theory. However, researchers emphasize this doesn’t mean practice and effort are unnecessary. Instead, it shows that top adult performers tend to be late developers. In sports, for instance, world-class athletes peak later than national-class athletes. Those who peak early reach a level that is best for their age, but not as high as what the other group will eventually achieve. The findings are noteworthy, says psychologist Edson Filho. He notes that athletes in certain sports like gymnastics hit peak performance far earlier. He adds that this analysis doesn’t address other factors such as money and coaching that influence who becomes the cream of the crop. The research emphasizes that people change. Children can get burned out or lose interest. To become an expert, you need to consistently perform at a high level under the most challenging conditions, and that’s a long journey. 8.

Late Developers: The Road to Excellence D A person visiting an eye doctor for an annual exam sits in front of a desk-top machine equipped with a bright red headset and eyepiece. The patient is told to hold still while one eye is briefly scanned by an infrared light-based method that can image the retina (视网膜) with a matchless level of detail, obtaining high-resolution images within seconds. This painless scanning technique, known as optical coherence tomography (OCT), is used millions of times per year in the US to identify eye diseases. But research suggests it may be used to detect early brain changes caused by Alzheimer’s disease, even years before symptoms appear. Such an application is possible because the retina is part of the central nervous system and shares many of the same cells and structures of the brain. Numerous studies have found that many of Alzheimer’s indicators are visible in the eyes of people who have died with the disease. The features of Alzheimer’s can be detected long before cognitive (认知) symptoms appear. Alzheimer’s disease begins slowly, with changes in the brain that can occur years, if not decades, before symptoms appear. To stop it in its tracks, we need early detection — ideally before the brain’s architecture is damaged. This insight has brought new urgency to the search for reliable biomarkers. In recent years, researchers have made progress in developing blood and spinal fluid (脊髓液) tests that indicate the presence of Alzheimer’s features. For example, amyloid PET imaging, the current gold standard, uses radioactive tracers to detect harmful proteins in the brain, but it is costly and technically demanding. As promising as new blood tests are, detecting Alzheimer’s in millions of at-risk individuals requires tools that are not only accurate but also affordable and scalable. OCT may meet these needs. As a widely available and widely applicable method of early detection, OCT could be practical for population screening in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Japan, China, and South Korea. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By describing a common scene. B. By presenting research findings. C. By explaining a medical term. D. By comparing different techniques. 13. What makes OCT a potential tool for detecting Alzheimer’s disease? A. It can create images of the brain directly. B. It helps discover eye problems at an early age. C. It reveals brain-related changes in the retina. D. It tracks the progression of cognitive decline. 14. What is the disadvantage of amyloid PET imaging? A. It cannot find early signs of Alzheimer’s. B. It is expensive and difficult to operate. C. It produces inaccurate results easily. D. It relies on too many blood samples. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward OCT’s future application? A. Neutral. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D.

It is a key part of good relationships and friendships, yet it doesn’t come easily to everyone.____16____But real trust is far less concrete than that. Our ability to trust is influenced by our experiences, our past and our personality. Trust is at the heart of our daily life. We show trust in people in almost every small situation.

A friend who tells your secrets, a boss who breaks a promise — all these things can change the way we trust.____19____Some people can let go of past pain, while others carry it into new relationships. Our personality plays an important role. ____20____Start by setting your own boundaries and values. Focus on what you believe in and stay true to yourself.

It is more than just a simple feeling. B. It can also influence how we trust in the future. C. Trust is a bond that runs through all our connections. D. Luckily, you can manage to develop a healthy level of trust. E. Cultural and societal influences shape our ability to trust deeply. F.

And we had not seen him for almost a year. He desperately wanted us to come for a visit. I am by nature a homebody and very unwilling to fly. The thought of flying alone on such a long journey was terrifying, as my husband Len was unable to get away due to work. Finally, I gave in and made my travel plans. About two weeks before I was due to leave, Len and I had the opportunity to visit our daughter Anne at Indiana University. Anne, our only daughter, was the last bird to leave the nest. It seemed like only yesterday that I was tucking (盖被子) her into bed with her favorite teddy bear Kiki. When she left home for college, she packed her best companion Kiki along with her. Now she was a lovely young woman, off on her own. We had a great parents’ weekend — cheering at the football game, eating at nice restaurants, and laughing together. We met her new friends and saw how much she enjoyed her new life. Anne is very perceptive (有洞察力的) and knew the journey to Germany was weighing heavily on my mind. Not only am I a nervous flyer, but being away from Len and home for two weeks would be a first for me. After the weekend, it was time to drive back home. Anne handed me a gift bag and told me not to open it until she texted me in the car. After about half an hour, her text finally came: Tuck me in your arms so tight While you travel through the night Across that great blue sea To visit AJ, Matt and Sunny. Please take me to the ones I dearly miss And bring me back a hug and kiss. So I’m yours to borrow To keep you from sorrow As you travel alone, so brave To make the memories you will save. Open! 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I reached into the gift bag with trembling (颤抖的) hands and pulled out the gift. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kiki became my constant companion all the way to Germany. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
