B For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed. Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present. Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination. It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there. 4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account? A. A loss of connections. B. A sense of personal burnout. C. A near miss of an accident. D. A decline of online followers. 5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2? A. Absorbed in new hobbies. B. Stuck in digital withdrawal. C. Focused on quality moments. D. Built on health and productivity. 6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone? A. He has to rely on computers. B. Real-time contact is much needed. C. Close relationships are hard to maintain. D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health. B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility. C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence. D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency. C In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught. Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers. Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 8. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding? A. He who hesitates is lost. B. More speed, less effect. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. No pains, no gains. 9. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To support a viewpoint. B. To correct a misconception. C. To introduce a practice. D. To promote a phenomenon. 10. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings? A. Doing effective marketing. B. Mastering strategic timing. C. Employing high technology. D. Breaking existing rules. 11. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle! B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers. C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment. D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying? D With global life expectancy now over 70 years old, we need to change how we age, not how long we age. So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. But this requires a transformation in our health system and careers as well as individual psychology. It also demands a shift in scientific focus away from individual diseases and towards a greater understanding of the biology of ageing. Increasing life expectancy has changed the global burden of disease. The top 10 causes of death have a common risk factor: age. If we could find a way to slow down biological ageing, we could potentially impact multiple diseases. But achieving this requires changing how we think about ageing — it means accepting that the biology of ageing is a mainstream line of scientific inquiry. This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not inexorable. We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. That thinking reflects past success in treating diseases. But we now need to apply that progress to tackling how we age and remember the words of French philosopher Michel — to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others. A focus on ageing and ageing-related diseases also leads to something unique: When progress was made in treating infant (婴儿) diseases, infant deaths fell, so research moved on to the diseases of middle age. Breakthroughs there led to fewer midlife deaths, and so science shifted to focus on ageing-related diseases. But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. 12. What can we know about the longevity revolution? A. It aims at finding a cure for age-related problems. B. It focuses on improving the quality of life as we age. C. It calls for governmental policy to promote healthcare. D. It may increase the human lifespan beyond the current record. 13. What is the meaning of the underlined word “inexorable” in paragraph 4? A. Groundless. B. Exceptional. C. Unavoidable. D. Unpredictable. 14. Why does the author quote Michel’s words? A. To prove death is a natural phenomenon. B. To justify the changeable character of ageing. C. To show the rare chance of dying at an old age. D. To stress our understanding of ageing needs changing. 15. What does the author imply about the future of longevity research? A. Its target should be middle-aged diseases. B. Its main value lies in reducing elder care costs. C. It may create a positive cycle of health promotion. D. It will eventually find a natural limit of human lifespan. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fashion Fix: How to Dress with Confidence We’ve all been there — standing in front of a wardrobe (衣橱) full of clothes, yet feeling like there’s nothing exciting to wear. Fashion is a key part of how we present ourselves to the world, and it can boost or break our confidence. ____16____ Sometimes, we all need a little expert help. Mistake 1: Choose Poor-Quality Fabrics Ill-chosen fabrics can make even a well-designed piece look low-end and unattractive. Plus, after just a few washes, these items lose their shape and no longer give you the polished look. SOLUTION: ____17____ They breathe better and last longer. There are a few red flags to look out for when checking if a fabric is low quality. For example, if you hold it up to the light and it looks almost transparent (透明), it probably won’t be very durable. Mistake 2: Wear Colours that clash with your skin tone The wrong colour can make you look washed out, tired or older than you are even if the clothes themselves are fresh and modern. ____18____ SOLUTION: Learn which colours work best with your skin tone. If you’re unsure where to begin, a professional colour analysis can help you discover shades that bring out your natural glow. Mistake 3: ____19____ When was the last time you did a thorough cleaning? A wardrobe full of clothes you don’t love, don’t wear, or that don’t fit, is like visual noise! You end up with the same small cycle of outfits while hidden treasures sit unworn at the back. SOLUTION: Clear out your wardrobe seasonally or at least twice a year. Remove what no longer fits or suits your lifestyle. Keep only pieces you love and can style multiple ways. ____20____ A. Ignore your wardrobe. B. Get rid of visual noise. C. It’s not the style but the shade that is the problem. D. Go for natural materials like cotton, wool where possible. E. Thus, it’s not about looking good — it’s about feeling good. F. However, ensuring our style choices aren’t holding us back is no easy job. G. This leaves you with a capsule wardrobe of go-to items that can work interchangeably. 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四个选项(A、B、C和D)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。 In the 1980s, I first encountered tai chi in Dundonald Park.

My early ____27____ were discouraging. I joined one class, then left; joined another, and ____28____, failing to complete the routines. I assumed that mastering tai chi meant memorizing all the ____29____. But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction. Everything changed in my first expert-led class. Surrounded by advanced ____30____, I felt like a beginner when the instructor ____31____ singled me out for instruction. Embarrassed, I listened intently, watched closely and ____32____ my body to move by copying him. Ultimately, this focus helped ____33____ my embarrassment.

I’ve been driving it to and from work for three years. It looks still brand-new because I always clean and polish it until it shines brightly. But its right door is marked by an ugly, noticeable dent (凹陷) which I’ve never bothered to fix. Whenever asked why, I will shake my head. Only I know it’s a reminder of an unforgettable afternoon. It was a typical summer. After work, I was driving down a neighborhood street in my Jaguar, going a bit too fast. I was half-listening to the radio, half-watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars, and I slowed down when I thought I saw something move. But as my car passed, no kids appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the side of my door with a sickening thud (闷响) . I braked hard and reversed to the spot where the brick had been thrown and then quickly jumped out of the car. There appeared a clear dent on my right door! My blood almost boiled. Seeing a boy, no older than 10, with another brick in his hand, I frowned fiercely, eyes flashing with anger, and stormed to him, “What was that all about?” my voice was tight and sharp. “My car is damaged. Look at this dent…” “Please mister... Please, I’m sorry... I didn’t know what else to do,” his eyes were filled with terror, a blood stain on his elbow, and he begged. “I’m sorry... No one would stop. My sister fell out of her wheelchair — I can’t lift her up!” He pointed to a parked car, his voice breaking. Besides it, there was his sister, lying on the ground, bleeding from fresh scrapes (擦伤) and cuts. Her wheelchair was tipped over nearby. “Would you please help me get her back into her wheelchair? She’s hurt and she’s too heavy for me,” said the boy. Hearing this, I felt upset and the anger that had burned in my chest a moment ago vanished completely, replaced by a rush of shock and overwhelming guilt. 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 rushed over to the girl, knowing exactly what to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Leaving the hospital, I looked at the dent on my car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度下学期高二年级4月份阶段测试英语试题 (满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分：听力(共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音结束后，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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present. Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination. It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there. 4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account? A. A loss of connections. B. A sense of personal burnout. C. A near miss of an accident. D. A decline of online followers. 5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2? A. Absorbed in new hobbies. B. Stuck in digital withdrawal. C. Focused on quality moments. D. Built on health and productivity. 6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone? A. He has to rely on computers. B. Real-time contact is much needed. C. Close relationships are hard to maintain. D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health. B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility. C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence. D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾因沉迷Instagram而焦虑疲惫，于是停用账号，使用老式手机。他发现摆脱数字干扰后，生活更有条理，能享受闲暇时光，并重新发现生活的乐趣。作者感悟到，减少屏幕使用、提升专注度是改善生活质量的关键。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A constant panic over lost connections, the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia.(对失去联系的持续恐慌、无休止的滚动带来的空虚感，以及险些遭遇的车祸，都让我感到筋疲力尽。不堪重负，我停用了我的账户，买了一部老诺基亚手机。)”可知，作者因为感到个人疲惫不堪，包括对失去联系的恐慌、无休止刷屏的空虚感以及差点发生车祸的经历，所以决定停用Instagram账号。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano.(没有了无休止的滚动，时间又回到了我身边。我可以利用原本用于刷屏的时间来保持健康或提高效率，但我也可以用它来欣赏已经失传的闲暇艺术。我一天中的大部分时间都花在翻阅杂志、喝茶、笨拙地弹钢琴上。)”可知，作者现在的生活更注重质量时刻，比如翻阅杂志、喝茶、弹钢琴等，享受闲暇时光，而不是被数字设备所占据。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.(一些互动，比如群聊、给国外朋友和家人的信息，可能会让人觉得很紧急，但一旦我远离它们，我就会意识到这种紧迫感是软件工程、我自己的焦虑，或者两者的结合所造成的。)”可知，作者在换用非智能手机后意识到，许多原本感觉紧急的互动其实是被过度强调了紧迫感，这种紧迫感可能源于软件设计或个人焦虑。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.(我现在带的是胶片相机而不是智能手机，刻意拍照的行为给我带来了真正的快乐。当人们问我是否想念我的智能手机时，我会回想起我上瘾最严重的时候。我一直在网上，但很少出现在现场。我怎么会想念那段时光呢？我几乎都不在那里。)”可知，作者通过降低设备等级(从智能手机到非智能手机、胶片相机)，提升了在现实生活中的存在感和体验质量，享受到了真正的快乐。因此，作者的经历表明降低设备等级可以提升现实生活的体验。故选C项。 C In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught. Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers. Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 8. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding? A. He who hesitates is lost. B. More speed, less effect. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. No pains, no gains. 9. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To support a viewpoint. B. To correct a misconception. C. To introduce a practice. D. To promote a phenomenon. 10. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings? A. Doing effective marketing. B. Mastering strategic timing. C. Employing high technology. D. Breaking existing rules. 11. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle! B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers. C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment. D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying? 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出，与快速行动相比，拖延可能更有利于原创性。研究显示，拖延能为发散性思维提供时间。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas, like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent thinking rather than ‘seizing and freezing’ on one particular strategy.(当他们立即开始任务时，他们倾向于提出传统的想法，比如再开一家便利店。当Shin随机分配一些参与者推迟任务去玩电脑游戏时，他们产生了更多新颖的想法，比如辅导中心或存储设施。进一步的实验表明，玩游戏或休息都不能提高创造力。Shin总结说，当你拖延一项任务时，你为自己赢得了进行发散性思维的时间，而不是‘抓住并固定’在某一个特定的策略上。)”可知，Shin的研究发现，拖延任务可以为发散性思维赢得时间，从而产生更多新颖的想法，而不是急于行动导致效果不佳。因此，选项B“More speed, less effect.(欲速则不达)”最能体现Shin的发现。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.(拖延可能是生产力的敌人，但它也可以成为创造力的资源。早在工业革命的效率热潮之前，古代文明就已经认识到了这一点。在古埃及，拖延有两个不同的动词：一个表示懒惰；另一个表示等待合适的时机。)”可知，本段通过引用古埃及对拖延的不同理解，来支持拖延可以是创造力的资源这一观点，与第二段中Shin的研究发现相呼应。因此，本段的目的是支持一个观点，即拖延可以是创造力的资源。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.(在一项经典研究中，市场研究人员Peter Golder分析了数百个品牌，比较了先驱公司和先驱公司创造市场后进入的较慢的定居者。结果令人震惊：先驱者的失败率是定居者的六倍。)”以及第五段中“Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new.(他们不是满足现有的需求，而是等到准备好推出新东西的时候。)”可知，根据Golder的研究发现，定居者之所以成功，关键在于他们掌握了战略时机，即等待合适的时机推出新产品或服务，而不是急于满足现有需求。因此，选项B“Mastering strategic timing.(掌握战略时机)”是定居者成功的关键因素。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了拖延对创造力的积极作用，以及先驱者和定居者在市场进入时机上的不同策略。文章通过Shin的研究和Golder的研究发现，强调了拖延在激发创造力和掌握战略时机方面的重要性。因此，文章最可能选自一本关于如何激发创造力的书籍，选项C“Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.( 释放创意：请稍等片刻。)”与文章主题相符。故选C项。 D With global life expectancy now over 70 years old, we need to change how we age, not how long we age. So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. But this requires a transformation in our health system and careers as well as individual psychology. It also demands a shift in scientific focus away from individual diseases and towards a greater understanding of the biology of ageing. Increasing life expectancy has changed the global burden of disease. The top 10 causes of death have a common risk factor: age. If we could find a way to slow down biological ageing, we could potentially impact multiple diseases. But achieving this requires changing how we think about ageing — it means accepting that the biology of ageing is a mainstream line of scientific inquiry. This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not inexorable. We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. That thinking reflects past success in treating diseases. But we now need to apply that progress to tackling how we age and remember the words of French philosopher Michel — to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others. A focus on ageing and ageing-related diseases also leads to something unique: When progress was made in treating infant (婴儿) diseases, infant deaths fell, so research moved on to the diseases of middle age. Breakthroughs there led to fewer midlife deaths, and so science shifted to focus on ageing-related diseases. But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. 12. What can we know about the longevity revolution? A. It aims at finding a cure for age-related problems. B. It focuses on improving the quality of life as we age. C. It calls for governmental policy to promote healthcare. D. It may increase the human lifespan beyond the current record. 13. What is the meaning of the underlined word “inexorable” in paragraph 4? A. Groundless. B. Exceptional. C. Unavoidable. D. Unpredictable. 14. Why does the author quote Michel’s words? A. To prove death is a natural phenomenon. B. To justify the changeable character of ageing. C. To show the rare chance of dying at an old age. D. To stress our understanding of ageing needs changing. 15. What does the author imply about the future of longevity research? A. Its target should be middle-aged diseases. B. Its main value lies in reducing elder care costs. C. It may create a positive cycle of health promotion. D. It will eventually find a natural limit of human lifespan. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“长寿革命”这一概念, 强调长寿革命不仅是延长寿命, 更重要的是提高老年生活质量, 还阐述了实现长寿革命需要在健康系统、科学研究重点等方面做出转变, 以及长寿研究对未来的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. (于是，一场长寿革命就此拉开帷幕——这场革命旨在延缓衰老进程，以使人们的寿命不仅更长，而且能更长久地保持健康状态。)”可知，长寿革命关注的是减缓衰老过程，使人们不仅活得更长，而且更健康, 也就是提高人们衰老过程中的生活质量。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. (我们通常会将健康与衰老所带来的后果区分开来，认为后者属于自然现象。)”可知，我们通常认为衰老的后果是自然现象，而“This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not…”表明“这种转变需要认识到衰老不是___________”由此可推测inexorable意思是“不可避免的”，与unavoidable意思相近。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。作者引用Michel 的话“to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others (因年老而死亡是一种极为罕见、独特且与众不同的死亡方式，因此与其他类型的死亡相比，它显得更加不自然。)”可知，因年老而逝是一种罕见的、非凡的、独特的死法，因此它不比其他死法来得自然，因此推断提及Michel的话是为了对照上文的观点，表明我们对衰老的看法需要改变，能再将衰老的后果视为自然现象。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. (但我们对衰老过程的了解越深入，老年人口就会越多，而进一步的收获也会越有价值。当我们到了90多岁生病的时候，活到100岁就没什么吸引力了。但如果我们能成为90岁时依然健康的老人，那么我们就会希望活得更久，从而开启了一种可能，即活到远比以往任何时候都要长寿的年龄。)”可知，我们在衰老方面做得越好，老年人就会越多，进一步的收益就会越有价值，健康的老年人会希望活得更长，这就形成了一个促进健康的良性循环。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fashion Fix: How to Dress with Confidence We’ve all been there — standing in front of a wardrobe (衣橱) full of clothes, yet feeling like there’s nothing exciting to wear. Fashion is a key part of how we present ourselves to the world, and it can boost or break our confidence. ____16____ Sometimes, we all need a little expert help. Mistake 1: Choose Poor-Quality Fabrics Ill-chosen fabrics can make even a well-designed piece look low-end and unattractive. Plus, after just a few washes, these items lose their shape and no longer give you the polished look. SOLUTION: ____17____ They breathe better and last longer. There are a few red flags to look out for when checking if a fabric is low quality. For example, if you hold it up to the light and it looks almost transparent (透明), it probably won’t be very durable. Mistake 2: Wear Colours that clash with your skin tone The wrong colour can make you look washed out, tired or older than you are even if the clothes themselves are fresh and modern. ____18____ SOLUTION: Learn which colours work best with your skin tone. If you’re unsure where to begin, a professional colour analysis can help you discover shades that bring out your natural glow. Mistake 3: ____19____ When was the last time you did a thorough cleaning? A wardrobe full of clothes you don’t love, don’t wear, or that don’t fit, is like visual noise! You end up with the same small cycle of outfits while hidden treasures sit unworn at the back. SOLUTION: Clear out your wardrobe seasonally or at least twice a year. Remove what no longer fits or suits your lifestyle. Keep only pieces you love and can style multiple ways. ____20____ A. Ignore your wardrobe. B. Get rid of visual noise. C. It’s not the style but the shade that is the problem. D. Go for natural materials like cotton, wool where possible. E. Thus, it’s not about looking good — it’s about feeling good. F. However, ensuring our style choices aren’t holding us back is no easy job. G. This leaves you with a capsule wardrobe of go-to items that can work interchangeably. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过避免常见错误（如选错面料、颜色和忽视衣橱整理）来提升穿搭自信。 【16题详解】 由上文“Fashion is a key part of how we present ourselves to the world, and it can boost or break our confidence.(时尚是我们向世界展示自己的关键部分，它可以增强或削弱我们的信心)”及下文“Sometimes, we all need a little expert help.(有时候，我们都需要一些专家的帮助)”可知，上文说明时尚对自信的影响，下文指出我们有时需要专家帮助，本空应说明确保我们的时尚选择不容易。F选项“However, ensuring our style choices aren’t holding us back is no easy job.(然而，确保我们的时尚选择不会阻碍我们并非易事)”一方面用However承接上文，转折说明：穿搭虽然重要，但不好做到；另一方面引出下文：因为不容易，所以需要专业帮助和技巧，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 由上文“Ill-chosen fabrics can make even a well-designed piece look low-end and unattractive.

It looks still brand-new because I always clean and polish it until it shines brightly. But its right door is marked by an ugly, noticeable dent (凹陷) which I’ve never bothered to fix. Whenever asked why, I will shake my head. Only I know it’s a reminder of an unforgettable afternoon. It was a typical summer. After work, I was driving down a neighborhood street in my Jaguar, going a bit too fast. I was half-listening to the radio, half-watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars, and I slowed down when I thought I saw something move. But as my car passed, no kids appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the side of my door with a sickening thud (闷响) . I braked hard and reversed to the spot where the brick had been thrown and then quickly jumped out of the car. There appeared a clear dent on my right door! My blood almost boiled. Seeing a boy, no older than 10, with another brick in his hand, I frowned fiercely, eyes flashing with anger, and stormed to him, “What was that all about?” my voice was tight and sharp. “My car is damaged. Look at this dent…” “Please mister... Please, I’m sorry... I didn’t know what else to do,” his eyes were filled with terror, a blood stain on his elbow, and he begged. “I’m sorry... No one would stop. My sister fell out of her wheelchair — I can’t lift her up!” He pointed to a parked car, his voice breaking. Besides it, there was his sister, lying on the ground, bleeding from fresh scrapes (擦伤) and cuts. Her wheelchair was tipped over nearby. “Would you please help me get her back into her wheelchair? She’s hurt and she’s too heavy for me,” said the boy. Hearing this, I felt upset and the anger that had burned in my chest a moment ago vanished completely, replaced by a rush of shock and overwhelming guilt. 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 rushed over to the girl, knowing exactly what to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Leaving the hospital, I looked at the dent on my car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version I rushed over to the girl, knowing exactly what to do. I knelt down carefully, my hands gentle as I avoided the girl’s bleeding scrape. “They look serious and we need to go to the hospital!” I glanced at the boy standing beside me. He nodded repeatedly, tears blurring his eyes but relief softening his tense shoulders. Instead of lifting the girl back into the wheelchair, I got her into the back seat of my Jaguar, totally ignoring the dent. “Don’t worry; we’ll get help soon,” I said, my voice warm and steady, trying to make up for my earlier harshness. After putting the wheelchair into my trunk, we hurried to the hospital, where the girl got timely and effective treatment. “Thank you so much for helping me,” the girl said softly, her voice trembling with gratitude. Leaving the hospital, I looked at the dent on my car. It was still there like a scar. The sun shone on the polished body of the Jaguar, making the ugly mark even more noticeable, but I felt no annoyance, only a calm gratitude. I reached out and traced the edge of the dent with my fingertips, my mind replaying the boy’s plea and the girl’s soft weep. Possible version 1 This dent, which I once wanted to fix immediately, is now my most precious reminder: to slow down, to set aside my own haste, and to never ignore someone in need. I will never fix it, for it is not a flaw — it is a lesson that I carry with me every time I drive. Possible version 2 The dent on my Jaguar still there, a permanent mark. But it no longer felt like damage. It felt like a reminder — a reminder that sometimes, the “brick” that hits you isn’t an attack. It’s a cry for help, a chance to slow down, to see the world beyond your own speed, and to be the person who stops. To this day, that dent is still on my car. And I’ll never fix it. Possible version 3 It reminds me every day to slow down, to set aside my own haste, and to never ignore someone in need. I don’t fix it because it’s not a flaw; it’s a gift, a constant reminder of the day a small boy’s courage taught me what truly matters in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者一次下班开车时，车门被男孩扔砖砸出凹痕，作者暴怒质问，却得知男孩是因妹妹从轮椅摔落无人帮忙，才扔砖拦车求助。得知缘由的作者满心愧疚，这凹痕也成了难忘的提醒。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻冲到女孩身边，心里清楚该怎么做。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者立刻救助女孩，将她抱上车送医，不顾车的凹痕，温和安抚孩子，女孩最终得到及时救治并向作者致谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“离开医院时，我看着车上的凹痕。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：离开医院，作者看着车上的凹痕内心满是感恩，这道凹痕成了珍贵警醒，作者会永远保留它铭记教训。 2.续写线索：救助女孩——立即送医——得到及时救治——女孩致谢——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①扫视：glance at/cast a glance at ②忽略：ignore/neglect ③帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①温柔地：softly/gently/tenderly ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He nodded repeatedly, tears blurring his eyes but relief softening his tense shoulders. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] After putting the wheelchair into my trunk, we hurried to the hospital, where the girl got timely and effective treatment. （运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
