He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also failed Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn’t any better. Though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation match (安慰赛); he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist. So, after completing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was rejected. One more confirmation that he was a loser. But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers. 4. What can be inferred about Sparky’s classmates? A. They were not fond of him. B. They only said hello to him. C. They laughed at him for his failures. D. They considered him socially invisible. 5. Which words best describe Sparky according to the passage? A. Talented and promising. B. Optimistic and sociable. C. Ambitious and persistent. D. Passionate and knowledgeable. 6. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The inspiration of Sparky’s successful story. B. The cultural impacts growing out of failures. C. The story behind a famous cartoon character. D. The process of creating the cartoon strip of Peanuts. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Charles Schultz B. The Loser Who Never Gave up C. The Creation of Charlie Brown D. The Optimist Who Never Complained C We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone. Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’ re in the midst of a bubble (泡沫). I call it “The More Bubble”. The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all. This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy — it’s code for being successful and important. And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more. Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists. These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done. So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life. 8. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she ________. A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle B. was asking for suggestions C. knew few people were like her D. took pride in doing so 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The cause and result of “The More Bubble”. B. The advantages of “The More Bubble”. C. The solutions to “The More Bubble”. D. The value of “The More Bubble”. 10. According to the text, Essentialists are those who _________. A. prefer to change frequently B. give up certain things for what matters in life C. are tired of information and opinions D. are eager to become successful and important 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards“The More Bubble”? A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. D Adults should prioritize book reading, which helps promote mental health, according to a global study conducted in 2023. Researchers surveyed 15,000 participants aged 25-60 across 25 countries, combining questionnaires with cognitive tests. The findings highlight alarming trends and solutions. In the past decade, weekly reading rates dropped sharply. Only 33% of adults read books weekly, compared to 51% in2013. Chinese adults demonstrated slightly higher engagement, with 38% reading printed books monthly — higher than the global average of 29%. However, 63% admitted to spending over 3.5 hours daily on short video or social media. European nations like Italy and Spain mirrored this pattern, where 68% cited “exhaustion from work” as the primary barrier. Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments. Emotionally, 43% of frequent readers reported effective stress management techniques, versus 19% among non-readers. Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: “Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.” Cultural divides appeared in content preferences. Asian readers prioritized educational materials — 58% chose history, science, or career-related books. In contrast, 61% of Western participants favored fiction for relaxation. Digital adoption also varied: e-books accounted for 70% of adult reading in the U. S. and U. K., while 76% of Asian readers preferred printed books. Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts. The study proposes actionable strategies. Governments are urged to launch workplace reading initiatives — companies like Siemens and Huawei now offer 20-minute paid “reading breaks” daily, observing 15-20% productivity increases. Schools should inspire parental reading through community programs. “Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,” insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. “Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.” 12. What method did researchers use to study reading’s impact on the brain? A. Interviews with educators. B. Analysis of book sales data. C. Social media usage tracking. D. Brain scans and cognitive tests. 13. Why might Chinese readers prefer printed books? A. Limited access to e-books. B. Influence of traditional values. C. Lower costs of printed materials. D. Government restrictions on digital content. 14. How does Dr. Carlos Mendez view reading? A. Asa luxury for the wealthy. B. As a popular trend in society. C. As a way to restore mental power. D. As a substitute for physical exercise. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes B. Work Stress: The Main Barrier to Reading C. Digital Books vs. Paper Books:A Global Debate D. Short Videos: The Killer of Traditional Reading 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。 I first discovered wood carving on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

If the doll could talk, it would tell a story of two kids and the relationship among family members. Amy has been enjoying her parents’ unique attention for five years since she was born. However, things began to change when the family had a new member, her little brother, Leo. On hearing the news that she would have a little brother or sister, Amy felt at a loss. She didn’t know what it meant to her. However, with the birth of Leo, Amy began to know that she wouldn’t be the only kid. Seeing her parents pay more attention to the little baby and hearing more and more people say her parents wouldn’t love her anymore, Amy became sensitive. Worried about her position in the hearts of her parents, she began to have incomprehensible resistance to little Leo. As time went by, Amy became more and more sensitive and concerned about her uniqueness and belongings. The other day, Amy came back home happily with the praise from her teacher. Seeing Leo holding her favorite doll made Amy feel very upset. In her eyes, the doll was not just a toy, but a part of her childhood, and a symbol of being loved. “Give it back to me, Leo,” Amy shouted. “No, I want to play with it,” Leo said. “It’s mine, not yours,” Amy stepped forward to Leo. “But I want it,” Leo insisted. Leo’s refusal led to Amy grabbing the toy without hesitation. In the process of the struggle, the doll was accidentally split into two parts, broken. Leo fell onto the ground, crying loudly. Amy’s face turned pale, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles. She was in fear that Leo got hurt and she was also afraid her mother would blame her, and think her an inconsiderate girl. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 However, things didn’t go as expected. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a better understanding of family and love, Amy’s attitude towards Leo changed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江西省乐平中学2025-2026学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

School was all but impossible for Sparky. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also failed Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn’t any better. Though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation match (安慰赛); he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist. So, after completing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was rejected. One more confirmation that he was a loser. But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers. 4. What can be inferred about Sparky’s classmates? A. They were not fond of him. B. They only said hello to him. C. They laughed at him for his failures. D. They considered him socially invisible. 5. Which words best describe Sparky according to the passage? A. Talented and promising. B. Optimistic and sociable. C. Ambitious and persistent. D. Passionate and knowledgeable. 6. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The inspiration of Sparky’s successful story. B. The cultural impacts growing out of failures. C. The story behind a famous cartoon character. D. The process of creating the cartoon strip of Peanuts. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Life of Charles Schultz B. The Loser Who Never Gave up C. The Creation of Charlie Brown D. The Optimist Who Never Complained 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sparky虽然经历了许多失败，但是从不放弃，直到最后创造了很多著名的卡通形象。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much.(这并不是说其他学生不喜欢他；只是没人真的那么在乎)”可知，Sparky的同学认为他在社交上无足轻重。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist.(然而，有一件事对Sparky很重要——画画。他为自己的艺术作品感到自豪。没有人欣赏它。但这对他来说似乎并不重要。在他高中的最后一年，他向年鉴提交了一些漫画。编辑们拒绝了这个概念。尽管遭到拒绝，Sparky还是对自己的能力深信不疑。他甚至决定成为一名艺术家)”可知，Sparky的艺术品虽然没有人欣赏但是他还是坚持，并且决定成为艺术家，说明他雄心勃勃且坚持不懈。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.(但是Sparky仍然没有放弃。相反，他决定在漫画中讲述自己的生活故事。Sparky的卡通形象后来成为一种文化现象。人们很容易认同这种“可爱的失败者”。他让人们想起自己过去的痛苦和尴尬时刻，想起他们的痛苦和共同的人性。这个角色很快就闻名世界：查理·布朗。Sparky，这个多次失败都没有阻止他尝试的男孩，他的作品一次又一次地被拒绝……是非常成功的漫画家查尔斯·舒尔茨他的连环画《花生》继续成为书籍、T恤和圣诞特辑的灵感来源，正如有人曾经说过的那样，它提醒我们，生活总会为我们所有人找到一条出路，即使是失败者)”可知，作者在最后一段的重点是失败产生的文化影响。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”.(但是Sparky仍然没有放弃。相反，他决定在漫画中讲述自己的生活故事。Sparky的卡通形象后来成为一种文化现象。人们很容易认同这种“可爱的失败者”)”以及文章主要讲述了Sparky虽然经历了许多失败，但是从不放弃，直到最后创造了很多著名的卡通形象。可知，B选项“从不放弃的失败者”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone. Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’ re in the midst of a bubble (泡沫). I call it “The More Bubble”. The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all. This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy — it’s code for being successful and important. And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more. Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists. These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done. So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life. 8. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she ________. A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle B. was asking for suggestions C. knew few people were like her D. took pride in doing so 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The cause and result of “The More Bubble”. B. The advantages of “The More Bubble”. C. The solutions to “The More Bubble”. D. The value of “The More Bubble”. 10. According to the text, Essentialists are those who _________. A. prefer to change frequently B. give up certain things for what matters in life C. are tired of information and opinions D. are eager to become successful and important 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards“The More Bubble”? A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了所谓的“泡沫文化”，叙述了这种“更多泡沫”的本质、出现的原因及后果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact.( 就在今天，有人向我炫耀说，她这段时间非常忙碌，平均每天只睡四个小时。她并没有抱怨，反而为这个事实感到自豪。她并非个例。)”可知，这位女士说自己两周每晚只睡 4 小时，并非抱怨，而是以此为傲。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing.( 这个泡沫是由三种强大的趋势共同促成的：智能手机、社交媒体和极端消费主义。其结果不仅是信息过载，还有观点过载。我们比以往任何时候都更清楚地知道其他人正在做什么，因此也清楚自己应该做什么。)”可知，本段是讲“更多泡沫”的成因与后果。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.( 这些人会围绕“必不可少的事物”来规划自己的生活，并舍弃其他一切。这些人会安排出真正的周末（在这段时间里他们不工作）。他们在家里设立无科技区域。他们用在脸书上花费的时间来与那些对他们来说真正重要的少数朋友通话。他们不再匆忙赶去参加各种会议，而是为完成重要的工作而为自己的计划留出空间。)”可知，根据文中的描述，本质主义者是指那些为了生活中真正重要的事物而放弃某些东西的人。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段“The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.( 泡沫的本质在于，某样东西会被过度高估，直到——最终——泡沫破裂，然后我们会疑惑为什么一开始会如此不理性。我们现在过度高估的东西是“做到一切、拥有一切、实现一切”的观点。)”以及作者在文中的一些表达，如“boasted(自夸)”和“Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior”中的 irrational(不合理的，荒谬的，无理性的)以及“overvalued(过高估计的)”等可看出作者对“更多泡沫”的态度是disapproving(不赞同的，反对的)。故选C项。 D Adults should prioritize book reading, which helps promote mental health, according to a global study conducted in 2023. Researchers surveyed 15,000 participants aged 25-60 across 25 countries, combining questionnaires with cognitive tests. The findings highlight alarming trends and solutions. In the past decade, weekly reading rates dropped sharply. Only 33% of adults read books weekly, compared to 51% in2013. Chinese adults demonstrated slightly higher engagement, with 38% reading printed books monthly — higher than the global average of 29%. However, 63% admitted to spending over 3.5 hours daily on short video or social media. European nations like Italy and Spain mirrored this pattern, where 68% cited “exhaustion from work” as the primary barrier. Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments. Emotionally, 43% of frequent readers reported effective stress management techniques, versus 19% among non-readers. Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: “Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.” Cultural divides appeared in content preferences. Asian readers prioritized educational materials — 58% chose history, science, or career-related books. In contrast, 61% of Western participants favored fiction for relaxation. Digital adoption also varied: e-books accounted for 70% of adult reading in the U. S. and U. K., while 76% of Asian readers preferred printed books. Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts. The study proposes actionable strategies. Governments are urged to launch workplace reading initiatives — companies like Siemens and Huawei now offer 20-minute paid “reading breaks” daily, observing 15-20% productivity increases. Schools should inspire parental reading through community programs. “Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,” insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. “Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.” 12. What method did researchers use to study reading’s impact on the brain? A. Interviews with educators. B. Analysis of book sales data. C. Social media usage tracking. D. Brain scans and cognitive tests. 13. Why might Chinese readers prefer printed books? A. Limited access to e-books. B. Influence of traditional values. C. Lower costs of printed materials. D. Government restrictions on digital content. 14. How does Dr. Carlos Mendez view reading? A. Asa luxury for the wealthy. B. As a popular trend in society. C. As a way to restore mental power. D. As a substitute for physical exercise. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes B. Work Stress: The Main Barrier to Reading C. Digital Books vs. Paper Books:A Global Debate D. Short Videos: The Killer of Traditional Reading 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了2023年全球研究揭示的成年人阅读对心理健康的促进作用、全球阅读率下降趋势、文化阅读偏好差异及基于脑科学证据提出的阅读推广策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments.(普通读者表现出显著的优势。那些每周花5个多小时看书的人在记忆力和解决问题的评估中得分高出28%)”和“Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: ‘Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.’(脑部扫描显示，持续阅读可以加强控制决策的前额叶皮层的神经通路。耶鲁大学神经学家Helen Park博士解释说：‘深度阅读是一种认知训练，就像举重一样。’)”可知，研究者通过脑部扫描发现持续阅读能增强前额叶皮层的神经通路，并结合认知测试得出读者在记忆和问题解决能力上的优势。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts.(研究人员将此与文化传统联系起来；例如，中国的图书友好型社会理念强调与文本的触觉和视觉接触)”可知，中国读者喜欢读纸质书可能受到传统的“书香社会”文化价值观影响。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后段中的“‘Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,’ insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. ‘Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.’(该研究的主要作者Carlos Mendez博士坚称，‘阅读不是一种奢侈，而是一项终身健康投资。即使每天12分钟，也能在一生中建立精神恢复力。’)”可知，文章末尾引用Dr. Carlos Mendez的观点，强调阅读是“终生的健康投资”，阅读是恢复精神力量的一种方式。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主体结构分为三部分：阅读率下降的现状（如全球每周阅读率从51%降至33%，短视频占用时间等）；下降的原因（如工作疲惫、数字媒体冲击）；解决方案（企业阅读休息、社区项目等）。选项A完整涵盖“原因”与“解决”，所以A项Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes(阅读趋势的下降：原因和补救措施)可以作为最佳标题。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。 I first discovered wood carving on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was looking around in a local bookstore when a book titled Easy Woodcarving caught my eye. ____16____ I had always loved working with my hands, and the idea of turning a plain piece of wood into something beautiful seemed magical. I bought the book and a small carving kit that came with a knife, a few gouges (弧口凿), and some soft basswood (椴木) blocks.____17____ The first thing I learned was that wood carving is all about patience. ____18____ I drew it onto the wood block and then began to carve. The knife moved slowly through the wood, and I had to be careful not to cut too deep. Each cut showed a bit more of the bird’s shape, and I was attracted by how the wood changed under my hands. ____19____ You have to think ahead and plan your cuts. Sometimes, the wood would crack, and I’d have to adjust my design. But each mistake taught me something new. I learned to keep my tools sharp, and to take my time. After a few weeks, my little bird was starting to take shape. I added details like feathers and the shape of its eyes. Finally, I sanded it smooth and applied a light color to bring out the wood’s natural beauty. ____20____ It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine, and I had made it from nothing. A. I decided to try painting instead of wood carving at first. B. As I worked, I realized that wood carving is like a puzzle. C. I picked a simple design — a small bird resting on a branch. D. The knife was too sharp and I hurt my finger on the first day. E. The cover showed a simple wooden figure, and I was interested. F. The basswood felt smooth and inviting, and I couldn’t wait to get started. G. When I held the finished bird in my hands, I felt a deep sense of achievement. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. B 20.

If the doll could talk, it would tell a story of two kids and the relationship among family members. Amy has been enjoying her parents’ unique attention for five years since she was born. However, things began to change when the family had a new member, her little brother, Leo. On hearing the news that she would have a little brother or sister, Amy felt at a loss. She didn’t know what it meant to her. However, with the birth of Leo, Amy began to know that she wouldn’t be the only kid. Seeing her parents pay more attention to the little baby and hearing more and more people say her parents wouldn’t love her anymore, Amy became sensitive. Worried about her position in the hearts of her parents, she began to have incomprehensible resistance to little Leo. As time went by, Amy became more and more sensitive and concerned about her uniqueness and belongings. The other day, Amy came back home happily with the praise from her teacher. Seeing Leo holding her favorite doll made Amy feel very upset. In her eyes, the doll was not just a toy, but a part of her childhood, and a symbol of being loved. “Give it back to me, Leo,” Amy shouted. “No, I want to play with it,” Leo said. “It’s mine, not yours,” Amy stepped forward to Leo. “But I want it,” Leo insisted. Leo’s refusal led to Amy grabbing the toy without hesitation. In the process of the struggle, the doll was accidentally split into two parts, broken. Leo fell onto the ground, crying loudly. Amy’s face turned pale, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles. She was in fear that Leo got hurt and she was also afraid her mother would blame her, and think her an inconsiderate girl. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 However, things didn’t go as expected. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a better understanding of family and love, Amy’s attitude towards Leo changed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 However, things didn’t go as expected. Mom came over in a hurry with an anxious look. Seeing Leo crying and the broken doll, she gently picked Leo up and comforted him. Turning to Amy, mom said, “It’s okay, Amy. Accidents happen. We all love you and Leo equally. Remember family is about sharing and understanding, not fighting over things.” Amy’s heart softened as she realized her mother’s words were true. She felt a wave of relief wash over her, knowing she didn’t lose her parents’ love. With a better understanding of family and love, Amy’s attitude towards Leo changed. She began to see him not as a threat to her position but as a precious addition to their family. As they worked on sewing the doll together, Amy taught Leo how to thread the needle and make small stitches. The process brought them closer, and Amy found joy in seeing Leo’s excitement at every successful stitch. They even decorated the doll with colorful patches, making it unique and special again. From then on, Amy made an effort to include Leo in her activities and playtime. She realized love wasn’t something that had to be divided and that it multiplied when shared. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Amy独享父母关爱五年，弟弟Leo出生后，她变得敏感。某日，Amy见Leo拿着她心爱的娃娃，争抢中娃娃被扯破，Leo大哭，Amy既怕弟弟受伤又怕母亲责怪。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“然而，事情并没有像预想的那样发展。”可知，第一段可以描写事情并未如预期般发展，妈妈焦急地赶来，先安抚哭泣的弟弟，再温柔开导Amy，告诉她家人之间应分享理解、对姐弟俩的爱均等，Amy听后内心释然，明白自己没有失去父母的爱。 ②由第二段句首内容“对亲情与爱有了更深的理解后，Amy对Leo的态度发生了改变。”可知，第二段可以描写Amy对亲情与爱有了更深理解后，改变了对弟弟的态度，两人一起缝补装饰布娃娃，关系愈发亲密，Amy主动陪伴弟弟，最终领悟到爱不会被分割，分享会让爱倍增的主旨。 2.续写线索：事情未如预期——妈妈赶来安慰——Amy 内心释然——对弟弟态度转变——一起修补布娃娃——懂得分享与爱的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①急忙过来：come over in a hurry/rush over/hurry over ②教：teach/instruct ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Amy’s heart softened as she realized her mother’s words were true.
