Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 6. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医，后来因为工作原因，他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗，并获得了很大的反响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次，兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视，为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知，斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃，工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后，斯图尔特说他感到内疚，准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上，在他上班的路上，他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况，这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说：“谢谢你没有忽视我，还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物，并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后，他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所，当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时，他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知，文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历，因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧，几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗，给狗治疗后，斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物，开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助，而且还与他建立了深厚的联系，认为他不仅善待他们的宠物，而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知，斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者，可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.( 现在，他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助，说，‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢？’”他说。)”可知，很多人受斯图尔特启发，询问如何做，说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿，模仿”，和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。 C Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it. We may remember hearing the song on a road trip with high school friends, and be brought back to the sights, smells, and feelings of that experience. All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music. In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical, electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along. We also found links related to the contexts with which we associate music. Electronic music tended to evoke thoughts about clubbing and video games, pop/rock music evoked thoughts about live performances and driving, and classical music thoughts about movies and weddings. Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story. These contextual associations may vary across different cultures. A recent study revealed that fictional stories reported while enjoying classical music were highly similar in two groups of young adults in the US, but the stories generated by listeners in Germany in response to these same excerpts were significantly different. This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination. Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses. For instance, a doctor might aim to trigger (触发) specific types of thoughts via music when working with a client, or an artist might engage a more creative thinking mode by listening to a particular piece of music. 8. What can we learn about “music-evoked thoughts” from Paragraph 2? A. They vary with different types of music. B. They are few occurrences in music listening. C. They involve people in dancing to the music. D. They strike people during engaging music play. 9. What is unique about classical music? A. It was associated with clubbing. B. It provided listeners with real contexts. C. It was intended to stimulate imagination. D. It was played more slowly than other music types. 10. What greatly influenced listeners’ imagination? A. The development level of their country. B. The previous music-related experiences. C. The education they received while young. D. The types of story they were asked to create. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Where Does Our Memory Come from? B. Do Music Imaginings Vary with Cultures? C. Does Listening to Music Help Story Creation? D. How Does Different Music Shape Our Imagined Thoughts? 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释和探讨音乐如何引发人们的不同思绪，提供了关于音乐与思绪之间关系的深入理解。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical，electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along.(在一项研究中，我和我的同事们比较了不熟悉的古典、电子和流行/摇滚乐器节选所引发的思绪。总体而言，76%的时间里听众都会报告有思绪产生。然而，思绪的产生在不同类型的音乐中有所不同。古典和电子音乐比流行/摇滚音乐更能引发思绪。这并不一定意味着流行/摇滚音乐类型不吸引人。相反，像古典和电子音乐这样的类型可能提供了更丰富的视觉心理意象，而流行/摇滚音乐可能会以不同的方式吸引听众参与，比如跳舞或跟唱。)”可知，第二段讲述了不同类型的音乐会引发不同的思绪，即它们随着不同类型的音乐而变化。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story.(古典音乐让听众有极大的能力去想象虚构的故事，因为它通常是为了引发想象中的故事而专门创作的。)”可知，古典音乐的独特之处在于它的目的是激发听众的想象力。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination.(这表明，即使被要求创作完全虚构的故事，听众也会受到他们之前与音乐的联系的影响。这印证了普遍的观点，即我们的记忆在塑造想象力方面起着重要作用。)”可知，听众之前的音乐相关经历极大地影响了他们的想象力。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段“Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it. We may remember hearing the song on a road trip with high school friends, and be brought back to the sights, smells, and feelings of that experience. All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music.(听到一首歌可能会让我们想起上次看到现场乐队演奏它的情景。我们可能会回想起在高中朋友一起的公路旅行中听到这首歌的那一刻，以及当时所见的景象、所闻的气味和所感受的情感。所有这些经历都被称为“音乐引发的思绪”，而最近的研究试图理解为什么某些音乐会引发特定的思绪。)”，提出最近的研究试图理解为什么某些音乐会引发特定的思绪；接着文章详细描述了不同类型音乐对听众想象力的影响，以及音乐与听众想象力之间的关系；最后一段提到“Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses(理解不同的音乐如何唤起不同的想法对于各种实际应用都很重要。)”。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是不同的音乐是如何塑造我们的想象思维的。故选D。 D Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones. It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships. It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic (巨大而突然的) swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty (新奇的事物). While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout. So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives. 12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more? A. The familiarity principle. B. The advertising cost. C. The improved service. D. The law of the market. 13. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Our preferences affect our decisions. B. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions. C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword. D. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Tolerant. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone B. Step Out Of Your Familiarity Zone C. Spare A Thought For Your Preference D. Give Priority To The Mere Exposure Effect 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，并提出了一种平衡的观点来看待这个原则，而不是将其视为阻碍，作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则来促进创造性和成长。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，把注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会很累。因此，除非我们有糟糕的经历，否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱，为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用)”可知，熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.(这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明，当被邀请分享我们的偏好时，我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时，我们又回到了我们所知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司，或者保持糟糕的关系)”可知，本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配，也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.(虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的，但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。)”可知，这段话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度，认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效，而且可能带来新的问题和风险。因此，作者的态度是反对的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，把注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会很累)”以及最后一段“We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives.(我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西，我们可以考虑改变我们谎言内部和周围的条件，为我们的偏好提供更多的空间，让它生根发芽。从这里开始，我们将开始从不断加深的有价值的选择中做出决定)”可知，文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围，通过改变生活中的条件，为我们的偏好提供更多的空间，使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此，选项A“慢慢扩大你的熟悉范围”最能概括文章的主题。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，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make Time to Write Since a new year has started, time lies before us like a blank page, waiting to be filled with writing. We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest. ____16____ Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential. ____17____ Most of the time, the real reason why we avoid writing is that we’ re afraid of failing. It’s simpler to complain about being too busy than to face our fears. To solve this problem, we can try to understand what we’ re scarred of, deal with it, and then focus on moving forward. A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. ____18____ If you successfully meet your target, you could give yourself a small reward: buy a new notebook or pen, go for a long walk, or take a day off from writing and just do something completely different. ____19____ As Henry Ford once said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got”! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps. Above all, you should prioritize (优先对待) writing over other things. Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, jobs outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write. ____20____ So, if you want to make 2025 the year when you get your writing project done, look at how you use your time with a fresh eye. A. Sometimes, changing the writing tool can bring unexpected inspiration. B. In addition, writing in a different environment might also be beneficial. C. For example, writing 1,500 words in a week might be realistic. D. Do something different if your current approach isn’t working. E. What they have in common is that they treat writing as important. F. But how can we break through these difficulties and really start writing? G. We all have a voice in our head that keeps telling us we can’t succeed. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何在忙碌的生活中挤出时间来写作。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest.(我们都是忙碌的人，有时会觉得生活与我们的写作抱负相悖，把写作抱负推到一边。然而，最有成效的作家却是最忙碌的)” 可知，这里提出了人们觉得生活阻碍写作但忙碌的人却可能是高产作家的矛盾情况，由此引出下文应该是关于如何突破这种困境开始写作的内容。F选项“但是我们怎样才能突破这些困难并真正开始写作呢？” 起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Overcoming self - doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential.(克服自我怀疑和恐惧是释放潜力的关键)” 可知，此段围绕自我怀疑和恐惧展开，G 选项“我们脑海中都有一个声音，不断告诉我们无法成功” 正是对自我怀疑的具体描述。符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time - bound.(找到更多写作时间的简单方法是给自己设定明确目标，且需符合 SMART 原则：具体、可衡量、可实现、现实、有时限)” 可知，接下来需要一个符合该原则的具体目标示例，C 选项“例如，一周写 1500 字可能是现实的” 符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据下文 “As Henry Ford once said, ‘If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got’! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps.(正如亨利・福特曾经说过的：“如果你一直做你一直在做的事情，你就会得到你一直得到的东西”！这可能意味着用笔记本和笔写作，而不是用你工作时也会用的电脑。尝试改变你的方法，看看是否有帮助)” 可知，该段强调如果当前的写作方式不起作用，就需要尝试不同的方法。D 选项“如果你的当前方法不起作用，就做一些不同的事情” 与该段主旨一致。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Above all, you should prioritize (优先对待) writing over other things.(最重要的是，你应该把写作置于其他事情之上优先对待)” 以及 “Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, jobs outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write.(大多数成功的作家都有关爱他人的责任、在外的工作，以及他们都需要完成的日常必要任务。然而，他们仍然设法进行写作)” 可知，成功的作家尽管有很多其他事务，但依然能写作的原因是他们重视写作。E 选项“他们的共同之处在于他们都把写作视为重要的事情” 符合语境。故选E。 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom. She asked if she could sing for the baby. Mom smiled and nodded in agreement. Encouraged, Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for the baby. The mother, clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully. Mary took a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The song was simple yet engaging. She sang of sunshine and dreams, which was easy to catch. Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. Her little body relaxed as Mary’s gentle voice filled the air. The song was simple, yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin. The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody. The mother’s tense expression eased, and she gave Mary a grateful smile. As the song reached its end, everyone clapped with cheers, which turned the boring and annoying delay into a musical feast. Mary’s mom leaned over and whispered, “You did it again, lifting all our spirits.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了11岁的玛丽和妈妈在机场候机，航班因天气原因多次延误，乘客们心情烦躁。登机后，机舱内一个小女孩哭闹不止，妈妈尝试多种方法都无法安抚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽犹豫了一下，然后转向了妈妈”可知，第一段可描写玛丽犹豫后询问妈妈能否为小女孩唱歌，妈妈同意，玛丽又征得小女孩妈妈同意后开始唱歌，歌声由轻柔逐渐变得自信，歌曲简单且吸引人。 ②由第二段首句内容“慢慢地，婴儿的哭声缓和了下来”可知，第二段可描写小女孩在玛丽歌声的安抚下停止哭闹，其他原本烦躁的乘客也安静下来，小女孩妈妈露出感激的微笑，歌曲结束后大家鼓掌欢呼，玛丽再次用歌声振奋了大家的精神。 2.续写线索：玛丽询问妈妈——征得小女孩妈妈同意——开始唱歌——小女孩停止哭闹——乘客安静下来——妈妈感激——大家鼓掌欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage /motivate ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ③放松：relax /unwind 情绪类 ①疲惫的：exhausted/tired ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She asked if she could sing for the baby.（运用了 if 引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody.（运用了独立主格结构 The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song，以及who引导的非限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 集美中学2025-2026学年第二学期高一年级期中质量检测 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟;满分：150分) 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试卷上的作答一律无效。 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.

B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 6. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. C Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it. We may remember hearing the song on a road trip with high school friends, and be brought back to the sights, smells, and feelings of that experience. All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music. In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical, electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along. We also found links related to the contexts with which we associate music. Electronic music tended to evoke thoughts about clubbing and video games, pop/rock music evoked thoughts about live performances and driving, and classical music thoughts about movies and weddings. Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story. These contextual associations may vary across different cultures. A recent study revealed that fictional stories reported while enjoying classical music were highly similar in two groups of young adults in the US, but the stories generated by listeners in Germany in response to these same excerpts were significantly different. This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination. Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses. For instance, a doctor might aim to trigger (触发) specific types of thoughts via music when working with a client, or an artist might engage a more creative thinking mode by listening to a particular piece of music. 8. What can we learn about “music-evoked thoughts” from Paragraph 2? A. They vary with different types of music. B. They are few occurrences in music listening. C. They involve people in dancing to the music. D. They strike people during engaging music play. 9. What is unique about classical music? A. It was associated with clubbing. B. It provided listeners with real contexts. C. It was intended to stimulate imagination. D. It was played more slowly than other music types. 10. What greatly influenced listeners’ imagination? A. The development level of their country. B. The previous music-related experiences. C. The education they received while young. D. The types of story they were asked to create. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Where Does Our Memory Come from? B. Do Music Imaginings Vary with Cultures? C. Does Listening to Music Help Story Creation? D. How Does Different Music Shape Our Imagined Thoughts? D Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones. It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships. It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic (巨大而突然的) swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty (新奇的事物). While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout. So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives. 12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more? A.

We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest. ____16____ Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential. ____17____ Most of the time, the real reason why we avoid writing is that we’ re afraid of failing. It’s simpler to complain about being too busy than to face our fears. To solve this problem, we can try to understand what we’ re scarred of, deal with it, and then focus on moving forward. A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. ____18____ If you successfully meet your target, you could give yourself a small reward: buy a new notebook or pen, go for a long walk, or take a day off from writing and just do something completely different. ____19____ As Henry Ford once said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got”! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps. Above all, you should prioritize (优先对待) writing over other things. Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, jobs outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write. ____20____ So, if you want to make 2025 the year when you get your writing project done, look at how you use your time with a fresh eye. A. Sometimes, changing the writing tool can bring unexpected inspiration. B. In addition, writing in a different environment might also be beneficial. C. For example, writing 1,500 words in a week might be realistic. D. Do something different if your current approach isn’t working. E. What they have in common is that they treat writing as important. F. But how can we break through these difficulties and really start writing? G. We all have a voice in our head that keeps telling us we can’t succeed. 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
