I really wanted to volunteer at a national park, but I was too late to apply so I went for a job at a diving center. This turned out to be better than what I considered, like helping in a school. When it comes to packing, obviously you need your travel documents, your phone and charger. Then think about any medicine you might need. How did I stay in touch with family? When I first arrived, I wrote a letter every week. They took at least four weeks to arrive though. Then, when I met someone else who had a blog, I realized that’s the thing to do. A phone call is nice, but the time difference can make that difficult. There are lots of things you’ll need to adapt to when you’re in another country. The language, of course. But luckily, so many people speak English. And I knew I’d struggle with the hot food. I hadn’t realized the effect the climate would have on us, though. Generally speaking, I really enjoyed my time away. It’s a good way to make friends, and you gain confidence too. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Natural History Museum in London holds a yearly contest for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Here are some of this year’s best pictures, and the stories behind them. The grand prize this year was won by Wim van den Heever of South Africa for an image called “Ghost Town Visitor”. The picture shows a rare brown hyena in front of an empty house in a town in Namibia where no one has lived for 70years. With humans gone, animals have come back to this desert town. Mr. van der Heever set up a “camera trap” in the location, but it took him years to capture the perfect image. Qingrong Yang of China made regular trips to Yundang Lake in Fujian province to take this image, which won him the award for Bird Behavior. His photo, called “Synchronized Fishing”, captures the moment when a little egret (小白鹭) drops toward the water, hoping to grab a small fish, only to have a large ladyfish snatch the tiny creature first. Australia’s Georgina Steytler won the Invertebrates (animals without a backbone) award for her picture “Mad Hatterpillar”. The picture shows the head of an unusual caterpillar called the “gum-leaf skeletoniser caterpillar”. These caterpillars eat away the green parts of certain tree leaves, leaving behind just the “skeletons” of the leaves. Each time the caterpillar sheds its skin, it keeps the old “head” part, giving it this strange look. The heads may protect the caterpillar from predators. Ms. Steytler snapped the picture in Western Australia while the sun was setting behind the insect. Normally, moray eels are seen underwater. But Shane Gross of Canada captured this image of three peppered moray eels in the Seychelles Islands out among the rocks after the tide went out. Mr. Gross realized that the eels were using their strong sense of smell to look for dead fish. They can remain out of water for up to 30 seconds at a time. His picture, called “Like an Eel out of Water”, won the award for Animals in their Environment. 21. What can we know from Qingrong Yang’s picture? A. Qingrong Yang won the grand prize. B. The little egret (小白鹭) didn’t catch the small fish. C. Qingrong Yang spent years taking the picture. D. Qingrong Yang’s picture was called “Mad Hatterpillar”. 22. Whose work won the award for Animals in their Environment? A. Wim van den Heever B. Georgina Steytler C. Shane Gross D. Qingrong Yang 23. What do these four pictures have in common? A. They are all related to Wildlife. B. They are all related to world climate change. C. They are all related to environmental protection. D. They are all related to water. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了伦敦自然历史博物馆举办年度野生动物摄影大赛中四张获奖作品，以及每张照片背后都有独特的拍摄故事。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二幅图的内容“His photo, called “Synchronized Fishing”, captures the moment when a little egret (小白鹭) drops toward the water, hoping to grab a small fish, only to have a large ladyfish snatch the tiny creature first.(他的作品名为《同步捕鱼》，捕捉到的瞬间是：一只小白鹭俯冲向水面，试图抓住一条小鱼，却被一条大海鲢抢先夺走了这只小生物。)”可知，Qingrong Yang的图片中，小白鹭没有抓到小鱼，而是被一条大海鲢抢先把小鱼夺走了。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四幅画的内容“His picture, called “Like an Eel out of Water”, won the award for Animals in their Environment.(他的作品名为《像离水的海鳝》，赢得了“动物与环境”奖项。)”可知，此处的his指代前文的Shane Gross，故Shane Gross的作品赢得了“动物与环境”奖。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一幅画的内容“The picture shows a rare brown hyena in front of an empty house in a town in Namibia where no one has lived for 70years.(照片中，一只稀有的棕鬣狗出现在纳米比亚一座废弃小镇的一间空房屋前，这里已经70年无人居住。)”、第二幅画的内容“His photo, called “Synchronized Fishing”, captures the moment when a little egret (小白鹭) drops toward the water, hoping to grab a small fish, only to have a large ladyfish snatch the tiny creature first.(他的作品名为《同步捕鱼》，捕捉到的瞬间是：一只小白鹭俯冲向水面，试图抓住一条小鱼，却被一条大海鲢抢先夺走了这只小生物。)”、第三幅画的内容“The picture shows the head of an unusual caterpillar called the “gum-leaf skeletoniser caterpillar”.(照片展示了一种名为“桉叶骷髅蛾幼虫”的奇特毛毛虫的头部。)”和第四幅画的内容“But Shane Gross of Canada captured this image of three peppered moray eels in the Seychelles Islands out among the rocks after the tide went out.(但加拿大的Shane Gross在塞舌尔群岛退潮后，拍摄到了三条胡椒海鳝在岩石间活动的画面。)”可知，这四张照片拍摄的都是与野生动物相关。 B Tony Hawk, who I thought was bigger than life, came in the room and then the interview began. As the world’s greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous (奇迹般的). He mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world, and the next day the sport of skateboarding fell right on its face. Life for Tony has had its ups and downs, and what brought him back up was the way he believed in himself. One of the most tragic events in Tony’s life was that his father passed away. Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness. One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does the best he can, it doesn’t matter how anyone else takes him. That’s true and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things aren’t going so well, but I’m trying my hardest because that’s life. It’s how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top. Confidence brought Tony to the next level. During our meeting he continually talked about the importance of following one’s dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in one’s own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented. By the end, I didn’t see the same guy who had walked through the door an hour earlier. Now I view him as more than a world-class skateboarder. He is also a normal person who has dealt with many of the same problems we all face, but the difference is that he is always able to rise above his problems by having faith in his dream. 24. What does the underlined part “fell right on its face” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Continued. C. Failed. D. Happened. 25. The example of the author’s playing baseball is used to show he ______. A. accepts Tony Hawk’s suggestion B. doesn’t want to play baseball anymore C. wants to be as successful as Tony Hawk D. has the same view of life as Tony Hawk 26. In the eyes of the author, what makes Tony Hawk special? A. His achievement. B. His unusual experience. C. His confidence in winning the game. D. His determination to realize his dream. 27. What does the author think of Tony Hawk at the end of the interview? A. Simple. B. Real. C. Lucky. D. Cautious. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与滑板传奇人物Tony Hawk的一次会面及访谈经历。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语上一句“As the world’s greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous(奇迹般的).(作为世界上最伟大的滑板手，他谈到了他的生活并不总是那么奇迹般的。)”可知，Tony提到自己的生活并不是总是那样神奇。而根据划线短语上一句“He mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world(他提到有一天他仿佛觉得自己的滑板水平仿佛站在了世界的顶端。)”可推测，划线短语所在句指的内容与上文存在转折关系，从而印证上文所指的生活并不总是那么神奇。因此，划线单词的意思和“失败、不如意”相似。选项A“Finished (完成)”；选项B“Continued (继续)”；选项C“Failed (失败)”；选项D“Happened (发生)”。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does the best he can, it doesn’t matter how anyone else takes him. That’s true and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things aren’t going so well, but I’m trying my hardest because that’s life. It’s how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top.(Tony给我留下深刻印象的是他接受自己的方式。他的目标不是做得比别人好，而是做到最好。如果他能做到最好，别人怎么看他都不重要。这是真的，也是明智的。至于我，我打棒球，事情不太顺利，但我尽了最大的努力，因为这就是生活。这是你如何处理那些糟糕的日子，这将使你保持领先。)”可推断，作者提到Tony的观点是做最好的自己，而不是一味与他人比较。而作者则提到自己打棒球，也是尽全力。由此可知，作者提到自己打棒球是为了说明自己的观点和Tony是一样的。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness.(尽管他遭受了这样的痛苦，但他从未忘记他的梦想。他把精力投入到他的梦想中，这帮助他克服了悲伤。)”以及文章第四段“During our meeting he continually talked about the importance of following one’s dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in one’s own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented.(在我们的会面中，他不停地谈论追逐梦想的重要性。他还说，与此同时，一个人需要对自己实现梦想的能力有坚定的信念，无论面临什么样的挑战。)”可推测，作者认为Tony Hawk实现梦想的决心使他克服了悲伤，使他能够取得成功。因此，他实现梦想的决心使他与众不同。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文最后一段“By the end, I didn’t see the same guy who had walked through the door an hour earlier. Now I view him as more than a world-class skateboarder. He is also a normal person who has dealt with many of the same problems we all face, but the difference is that he is always able to rise above his problems by having faith in his dream.(最后，我看到的已经不是一小时前走进来的那个人了。现在我认为他不仅仅是一个世界级的滑板运动员。他也是一个普通人，处理过许多我们都面临的同样的问题，但不同的是，他总是能够超越自己。)”可知，在采访的最后，作者认为Tony Hawk不仅是一位滑板巨星，还是一个普通人，能够面对和克服生活中的问题，因此作者认为Tony Hawk是真实的。故选B。 C In January 2018, the long-awaited ban (禁令) on plastic microbeads (微珠) in make-up and washing products came into force in the UK. These tiny bits of plastic were discovered to enter the ocean in their millions. The ban was a conservation victory, but scientists at Northumbria University have always been aware that such beads are only the tip of the iceberg (冰山一角) when it comes to tiny bits of marine (海洋的) pollution. The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were. The new study from scientists at Northumbria University has revealed that almost 13,000 tons of microfibers, which are equal to two rubbish trucks every day, are being released into European marine environments every year as they fall off clothing in washing machines. These microfibers are made up of a range of materials and in fact the vast majority are natural fibers, such as cotton, wool and viscose. Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解的) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans. Extensive research is being carried out on how to cut down microfiber pollution. The Northumbria researchers note that several textile design rules have been established, and that more research is being undertaken to encourage their adoption by the textile industry. The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles (洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning. In their conclusion they call for further advances in cold-water cleaning technology to smooth away the performance gap between regular warm cycles and colder and quicker alternatives. “This is the first major study to examine real household wash loads and the reality of fiber release,” said John R Dean, who led the study. “Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.” 28. What do scientists at Northumbria University mainly focus on? A. Benefits of wildlife conservation. B. Microfiber pollution from clothing. C. Methods of making textiles clean. D. Marine pollution from tiny bits of plastic. 29. What can we infer from the new study? A. It takes a long time for fibers to break down. B. Man-made fibers are easy to fall off clothing. C. Natural fibers do little harm to the environment. D. Household washing machines operate in an eco-friendly way. 30. Consumers say “No” to the colder and quicker washing cycles mainly because the cycles are believed to ______. A. be slow in washing clothes B. be too complex to operate C. waste too much heat and water D. fail to remove dirt effectively 31. What did John R Dean think of solving microfiber pollution? A. It seems impractical. B. It’s unlikely to succeed. C. It may need joint efforts. D. It needs urgent actions. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了英国诺森比亚大学的科学家们发现，在洗涤纺织品过程中产生的微纤维可能是比塑料微珠更严重的海洋污染源，研究还涉及到如何减少微纤维污染以及面临的问题等内容。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were.(科学家们最近的发现表明，在洗涤纺织品过程中产生的微纤维可能比塑料微珠更能造成污染)”可知，诺森比亚大学的科学家主要关注的是来自衣物的微纤维污染，故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解的) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans.(虽然这些天然纤维比人造纤维的可生物降解性强得多，但在欧洲海洋底部仍发现了大量的天然纤维)”可知，即使是可生物降解的天然纤维在海洋底部仍有大量存在，可推断出纤维降解需要很长时间，故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles(洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning.(该团队指出，消费者采用更冷更快的洗涤模式存在障碍，因为消费者担心这样无法达到理想的清洁水平)”可知，消费者拒绝更冷更快的洗涤模式是因为他们认为这些模式不能有效地去除污垢，故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段John R Dean所说的“Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.(要找到一个最终解决方案来解决洗衣服过程中释放的微纤维对海洋生态系统的污染，可能需要在纺织品生产过程和洗衣机设计方面采取重大行动)”可知，要找到一个最终解决方案需要在纺织品生产过程和洗衣机设计方面采取重大行动，可推理出他认为解决微纤维污染可能需要共同努力，故选C项。 D While we race into a future where we outsource (外包) most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 32. According to the author, what is the primary threat posed by over-trusting Big Tech? A. It will cause people to rely entirely on screens for communication. B. It may lead to the rapid development of super intelligent machinery. C. It could weaken our ability to think and to use our minds independently. D. It prevents artificial intelligence from solving complex problems effectively. 33. What is supposed to be included in a mindfulness practice? A. Concentrating on making proper gestures. B. Being aware of our body’s role in thinking. C. Attaching importance to different body parts. D. Laying emphasis on nonverbal communication. 34. Why does the author mention gesturing during conversations? A. To argue that people should speak less and gesture more. B. To show that body language is more effective than speech. C. To illustrate how physical actions can support and clarify thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of nonverbal communication in AI development. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence B. The Art of Mindful Thinking in the AI Age C. How to Improve Communication Through Gestures D. The Greatest Threat of Super Intelligent AI Machinery 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在人工智能时代，过度依赖大型科技公司及其技术可能带来的问题，并强调了通过“巧妙思考”这一哲学来避免这些问题的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While we race into a future where we outsource (外包) most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.(在我们奔向将大多数问题解决外包给人工智能的未来时，最大的威胁并非超级智能机器，而是盲目地过度信任大型科技公司，同时对自身心智力量信任不足)”可知，作者认为盲目过度信任大型科技公司意味着我们对自身心智力量信任不足，它带来的主要威胁在于会进一步削弱了我们独立思考和使用大脑的能力。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world.(改变我们的思维方式是一项艰巨的工作。它始于一种正念练习。获取巧妙思考的能力需要我们关注我们如何用身体思考，我们如何利用我们的四肢、器官和情感来理解这个世界)”可知，正念练习包括关注我们的身体在思考中的作用。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. (请留意身体向你传递的各种信息，以及身体动作所能扮演的不同角色和功能。例如，交谈时做手势不仅是为了沟通，这些动作往往能帮助说话者理顺思维过程，辅助语言表达)”可知，作者提到对话中的手势是为了说明身体动作如何支持和阐明思维。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“While we race into a future where we outsource (外包) most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.(在我们奔向将大多数问题解决外包给人工智能的未来时，最大的威胁并非超级智能机器，而是盲目地过度信任大型科技公司，同时对自身心智力量信任不足)”和第二段中“A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this.(巧妙思考的哲学是避免这种情况的好方法)”可知，文章主要讨论了在人工智能时代，过度依赖大型科技公司及其技术可能带来的问题，并强调了通过“巧妙思考”这一哲学来避免这些问题的重要性，B项“人工智能时代的巧妙思考艺术”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从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。 How to Travel in Time The term “NOSTALGIA” (怀旧) used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations (幻觉) and depression. ____36____ And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again. As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. ____37____ That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards. In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. ____38____ *To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses not just sight.

C 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过回忆过去和想象未来来更好地控制自己的记忆，从而塑造更好的自己。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The term “NOSTALGIA” (怀旧) used to describe a mental disease.(“怀旧”这个词过去被用来描述一种精神疾病)”和下文“And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.(这是强大记忆力的一个很好的例子——选择重温过去的时刻，再次享受它们)”可知，上下文讲述了人们对怀旧的不同看法，B项“今天，我们对怀旧的态度要积极得多”起到了承上启下的作用，既提到了怀旧，又与后文对怀旧的积极看法相呼应，符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 上文“It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times.(我们似乎从更快乐时光的音乐记忆中找到了力量)”讲述回忆音乐的好处，下文“That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.(这是因为记忆技巧也能带你进入未来——带来全新的回报)”提到记忆技巧能带你进入未来，由此推知，空处内容应引起下文关于记忆技巧的讨论，F项“但也有越来越多的研究是关于“另一种方式”的时间旅行的”符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 此空在段尾，且是这一段的总结句。本段开头提到“In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19.(在另一项大流行病实验中，人们给未来的自己写信，发现他们通过想象自己在COVID-19的另一边安然无恙来改善自己的情绪)”，后面又列举了三个建议，由此可知，此段主要讲述了如何成为自信的时间旅行者，C项 “以下是我自己成为自信时间旅行者的建议”，这个选项总结了这一段的内容，符合语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep using it!(如果你发现一段特别有帮助的记忆——比如为了安慰自己——那就继续使用它！)”和下文介绍了另外几个建议可知，上文在建议继续使用有用的记忆，E项“你会更快地找到它，并且每次都会增加额外的细节”进一步解释了继续使用有用记忆的好处，符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now.(但你越学会控制自己的记忆，你就越善于挖掘自己的过去，塑造自己的未来，成为现在最好的自己)”中“but”可知，空处与下文形成转折关系，且下文提到“挖掘过去，塑造未来”，由此可知，空处应讲述过去的记忆和未来的不确定性带来的负面情绪，G项“仍然会有一些时候，旧的想法会引起悲伤，或者你会对接下来发生的事情感到焦虑”与下文形成了转折关系，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 One ordinary afternoon, seeking an old novel for research, I wandered into a cluttered secondhand bookstore.

My best friend David, also my teammate, shared this passion, and we had one hero in common: Stephen Curry. We’d stay late after practice, copying his quick crossovers and long-range shots, chatting about how cool it would be to play like him someday. Then a big loss hit me hard. It was in the game, which was tied with only 10 seconds left. I got the ball — our team’s last chance to win. But I missed the shot. We lost, and I could see disappointment on my teammates’ faces. After that, I became a different person. I kept blaming myself, and my confidence totally disappeared. David noticed my struggle right away. He practiced with me alone and wanted to encourage me, “One bad play doesn’t make you a loser.” I stared at my shoes,” I almost messed it all up. What if I do it again in the championship final?” David stepped closer, his tone soft but sharp, “Cheer up, Jimmy. Don’t let one failure hold you back. Think about our hero Curry...” He paused, eyes suddenly lighting up like he’d just had a breakthrough, without noticing my whisper “My hero Curry would think I’m a loser too.” During the training for the championship, I didn’t want to join at all. But when David told me there was a surprise waiting for me in the gym, I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go check it out. On stepping into the gym, I noticed the big screen — there was a video from Curry himself — smiling, holding a basketball, saying, “Hey, Jimmy! Mistakes aren’t losses; they’re just lessons waiting to be used. Get back out there, trust your training, and remember: even the best shooters miss. What matters is you take the next shot.” Moved but confused, how could Curry appear on the screen? Suddenly, I realized it was an AI Curry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. I grabbed my basketball and rushed to the court — no more hiding! David laughed as I joined the training, “That’s the guy I know!” Practising day in and day out helped me sharpen my skills. Every time I failed to get a point, Curry’s “next shot” pushed me. For the first time, I didn’t fear mistakes. By the time championship week started, I was ready to perform beyond everyone’s expectations with my accurate shooting and continuous efforts — self-doubt had faded into muscle memory. I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. The cheers of the crowd filling the air, I only focused on the ball. With only ten seconds left, a similar scene unfolded once again. At the moment, the powerful words of David and AI Curry echoed again in my ears. The shot didn’t just score points, for it brought back the player I’d almost lost. Not until I heard claps and cheers around me did I realize that I made it. It was my friend’s firm support and my idol’s inspiring spirit that brought the confidence back into me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为校篮球队核心球员，吉米因关键比赛错失绝杀陷入自我怀疑。好友大卫一直鼓励他，并利用AI库里的视频传递“失误是教训，重要的是投出下一球”的信念。吉米深受激励，刻苦训练重拾信心，终在冠军赛决赛相似场景中成功得分，赢回自我。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不管怎样，我深受鼓舞”可知，第一段可描写吉米深受激励，刻苦训练重拾信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“我自信地站在冠军决赛的球场上，准备全力以赴”可知，第二段可描写吉米终在冠军赛决赛相似场景中成功得分，赢回自我。 2.续写线索：受到鼓舞——刻苦训练——重拾信心——回到球场——全力以赴——成功得分——赢回自我 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向：rush to/dash to ②集中：focus on/concentrate on ③出现：unfold/emerge 情绪类 ①有力的：powerful/forceful ②恐惧：fear/scare 【点睛】[高分句型1] David laughed as I joined the training（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was my friend’s firm support and my idol’s inspiring spirit that brought the confidence back into me.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 沈阳铁路实验中学2025-2026学年度下学期高一年级四月考试 英语 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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What language is the woman best at?

Here are some of this year’s best pictures, and the stories behind them. The grand prize this year was won by Wim van den Heever of South Africa for an image called “Ghost Town Visitor”. The picture shows a rare brown hyena in front of an empty house in a town in Namibia where no one has lived for 70years. With humans gone, animals have come back to this desert town. Mr. van der Heever set up a “camera trap” in the location, but it took him years to capture the perfect image. Qingrong Yang of China made regular trips to Yundang Lake in Fujian province to take this image, which won him the award for Bird Behavior. His photo, called “Synchronized Fishing”, captures the moment when a little egret (小白鹭) drops toward the water, hoping to grab a small fish, only to have a large ladyfish snatch the tiny creature first. Australia’s Georgina Steytler won the Invertebrates (animals without a backbone) award for her picture “Mad Hatterpillar”. The picture shows the head of an unusual caterpillar called the “gum-leaf skeletoniser caterpillar”. These caterpillars eat away the green parts of certain tree leaves, leaving behind just the “skeletons” of the leaves. Each time the caterpillar sheds its skin, it keeps the old “head” part, giving it this strange look. The heads may protect the caterpillar from predators. Ms. Steytler snapped the picture in Western Australia while the sun was setting behind the insect. Normally, moray eels are seen underwater. But Shane Gross of Canada captured this image of three peppered moray eels in the Seychelles Islands out among the rocks after the tide went out.

B Tony Hawk, who I thought was bigger than life, came in the room and then the interview began. As the world’s greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous (奇迹般的). He mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world, and the next day the sport of skateboarding fell right on its face. Life for Tony has had its ups and downs, and what brought him back up was the way he believed in himself. One of the most tragic events in Tony’s life was that his father passed away. Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness. One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does the best he can, it doesn’t matter how anyone else takes him. That’s true and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things aren’t going so well, but I’m trying my hardest because that’s life. It’s how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top. Confidence brought Tony to the next level. During our meeting he continually talked about the importance of following one’s dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in one’s own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented. By the end, I didn’t see the same guy who had walked through the door an hour earlier. Now I view him as more than a world-class skateboarder. He is also a normal person who has dealt with many of the same problems we all face, but the difference is that he is always able to rise above his problems by having faith in his dream. 24. What does the underlined part “fell right on its face” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Continued. C. Failed. D. Happened. 25. The example of the author’s playing baseball is used to show he ______. A. accepts Tony Hawk’s suggestion B. doesn’t want to play baseball anymore C. wants to be as successful as Tony Hawk D. has the same view of life as Tony Hawk 26. In the eyes of the author, what makes Tony Hawk special? A. His achievement. B. His unusual experience. C. His confidence in winning the game. D. His determination to realize his dream. 27. What does the author think of Tony Hawk at the end of the interview? A. Simple. B. Real. C. Lucky. D. Cautious. C In January 2018, the long-awaited ban (禁令) on plastic microbeads (微珠) in make-up and washing products came into force in the UK. These tiny bits of plastic were discovered to enter the ocean in their millions. The ban was a conservation victory, but scientists at Northumbria University have always been aware that such beads are only the tip of the iceberg (冰山一角) when it comes to tiny bits of marine (海洋的) pollution. The scientists’ recent findings suggest that microfibers produced during the washing of textiles (织物) are likely to be a more significant contributor to pollution than the beads ever were. The new study from scientists at Northumbria University has revealed that almost 13,000 tons of microfibers, which are equal to two rubbish trucks every day, are being released into European marine environments every year as they fall off clothing in washing machines. These microfibers are made up of a range of materials and in fact the vast majority are natural fibers, such as cotton, wool and viscose. Though significantly more biodegradable (可生物降解的) than man-made fibers, these fibers have still been found in significant quantities in the bottom of the European oceans. Extensive research is being carried out on how to cut down microfiber pollution. The Northumbria researchers note that several textile design rules have been established, and that more research is being undertaken to encourage their adoption by the textile industry. The team points out that there’s a barrier to consumers’ adopting colder and quicker washing cycles (洗涤模式), since the consumers are concerned that they will not achieve the desired level of cleaning. In their conclusion they call for further advances in cold-water cleaning technology to smooth away the performance gap between regular warm cycles and colder and quicker alternatives. “This is the first major study to examine real household wash loads and the reality of fiber release,” said John R Dean, who led the study. “Finding an ultimate solution to the pollution of marine ecosystems by microfibers released during clothes-washing will likely require significant actions in both the production processes of textiles and the design of washing machines.” 28. What do scientists at Northumbria University mainly focus on? A. Benefits of wildlife conservation. B. Microfiber pollution from clothing. C. Methods of making textiles clean. D. Marine pollution from tiny bits of plastic. 29. What can we infer from the new study? A. It takes a long time for fibers to break down. B. Man-made fibers are easy to fall off clothing. C. Natural fibers do little harm to the environment. D. Household washing machines operate in an eco-friendly way. 30. Consumers say “No” to the colder and quicker washing cycles mainly because the cycles are believed to ______. A. be slow in washing clothes B. be too complex to operate C. waste too much heat and water D. fail to remove dirt effectively 31. What did John R Dean think of solving microfiber pollution? A. It seems impractical. B. It’s unlikely to succeed. C. It may need joint efforts. D. It needs urgent actions. D While we race into a future where we outsource (外包) most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 32. According to the author, what is the primary threat posed by over-trusting Big Tech? A. It will cause people to rely entirely on screens for communication. B. It may lead to the rapid development of super intelligent machinery. C. It could weaken our ability to think and to use our minds independently. D. It prevents artificial intelligence from solving complex problems effectively. 33. What is supposed to be included in a mindfulness practice? A. Concentrating on making proper gestures. B. Being aware of our body’s role in thinking. C. Attaching importance to different body parts. D. Laying emphasis on nonverbal communication. 34. Why does the author mention gesturing during conversations? A. To argue that people should speak less and gesture more. B. To show that body language is more effective than speech. C. To illustrate how physical actions can support and clarify thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of nonverbal communication in AI development. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence B. The Art of Mindful Thinking in the AI Age C. How to Improve Communication Through Gestures D. The Greatest Threat of Super Intelligent AI Machinery 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从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。 How to Travel in Time The term “NOSTALGIA” (怀旧) used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations (幻觉) and depression. ____36____ And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again. As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. ____37____ That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards. In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. ____38____ *To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep using it! ____39____ *When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualize an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay finished, and use that positive image to make you swing into action. *Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life. ____40____ But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now. A. The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age. B. Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. C. Here are my tips for becoming a confident time traveller yourself. D.

My best friend David, also my teammate, shared this passion, and we had one hero in common: Stephen Curry. We’d stay late after practice, copying his quick crossovers and long-range shots, chatting about how cool it would be to play like him someday. Then a big loss hit me hard. It was in the game, which was tied with only 10 seconds left. I got the ball — our team’s last chance to win. But I missed the shot. We lost, and I could see disappointment on my teammates’ faces. After that, I became a different person. I kept blaming myself, and my confidence totally disappeared. David noticed my struggle right away. He practiced with me alone and wanted to encourage me, “One bad play doesn’t make you a loser.” I stared at my shoes,” I almost messed it all up. What if I do it again in the championship final?” David stepped closer, his tone soft but sharp, “Cheer up, Jimmy. Don’t let one failure hold you back. Think about our hero Curry...” He paused, eyes suddenly lighting up like he’d just had a breakthrough, without noticing my whisper “My hero Curry would think I’m a loser too.” During the training for the championship, I didn’t want to join at all. But when David told me there was a surprise waiting for me in the gym, I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go check it out. On stepping into the gym, I noticed the big screen — there was a video from Curry himself — smiling, holding a basketball, saying, “Hey, Jimmy! Mistakes aren’t losses; they’re just lessons waiting to be used. Get back out there, trust your training, and remember: even the best shooters miss. What matters is you take the next shot.” Moved but confused, how could Curry appear on the screen? Suddenly, I realized it was an AI Curry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。You speak three foreign languages.
