The Itchan Kala, the inner city, was the first place in Central Asia to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite its rich history, Khiva has long been relatively difficult to access due to its remote location and limited transport connections. But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching. Anticipating a rise in visitors, Khiva is expanding its tourism offering. Most attractions are concentrated in the Itchan Kala, a historic walled city rich in the spirit of the Silk Road. Islam Khodja Minaret: Rising 187 feet, as the second tallest tower in Central Asia, it is in the southeast of the Itchan Kala. It is well worth climbing the 175 steps to the top for bird’s-eye views. Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum: It is a historic monument, just next to the tower, in memory of a famous poet and folk hero in the 13th century. Juma Mosque: Located at the centre of the walled city, it is a forest of 213 individually carved wooden poles with complex and unique patterns, some of which date from the 10th century. Nurullaboy Palace: Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city. This palace combines architectural styles and technologies from Khiva and Russia. In addition to its rich history and newly improved accessibility, Uzbekistan’s national dish, plov, has earned UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. As for the weather, the best time to visit Khiva is spring or fall, with March 20-21 marking Nowruz - a national holiday filled with concerts and activities. To top it off, accommodation options range from restored historic buildings to luxurious hotels that combine Khorezmian style with international service. 1. Why is 2026 a turning point for Khiva? A. Historic buildings will be restored. B. It will expand to receive more visitors. C. A new transport link will improve access. D. It will become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 2. Which building is located outside the Itchan Kala? A. Islam Khodja Minaret. B. Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum. C. Juma Mosque. D. Nurullaboy Palace. 3. What is the text mainly about? A. The development of tourism in Uzbekistan. B. The rich history and culture of Central Asia. C. The architectural wonders along the Silk Road. D. The tourism overview of the Silk Road city of Khiva. B When students, or professionals, sit down across from me for life or professional coaching, they rarely begin with a crisis. More often they describe futures that sound impressive: consulting, leadership roles at major companies. Their plans are polished. From the outside, everything looks ready to go. Then I ask a different question: “What would your ordinary Tuesday look like at this job?” I want them to tell me what time they’ll wake up or what their evenings feel like when they come home tired. At this point in the conversation, in most cases, students, and sometimes even professionals, can’t answer my questions. The conversation turns into silence. They have thought about what role they want, but they haven’t yet thought about how it fits with the activities they like to do and the people they care about. I know that silence because I once sat in their chair. Early in my career, I was chasing a promotion I thought I wanted. One day, a senior colleague asked me to stay late and help her revise a report. I said yes, as always. At 9 p.m., alone in the office, I looked at my cold takeout and found this was my third late night that week. I had no energy to call my family, no memory of what I’d eaten for lunch. That night. I forced myself to picture the promotion I was chasing: the same late nights, just a fancier title. That was when I realized: like many ambitious young people, I had been treating work as sacrifice. But endurance (忍耐) only matters if we know what we’re enduring for. The former belief that lasting fulfillment waits at the finish line is what psychologists call the “arrival fallacy.” The problem is, goals rarely transform daily life as we expect. New pressures replace old ones. The future we imagined becomes just the new normal. Meanwhile, the real question remains unanswered. Do I actually like how I spend my days? That’s why I push my conversation partners toward the details - painting as complete a picture as they can. I am not to discourage ambition, but it needs a reality check. Our everyday isn’t a means to a few milestones. Life is enjoyed through the ordinary Tuesdays we spend living it. 4. Why do people fail to describe an “ordinary Tuesday”? A. They lack confidence in their career. B. They avoid thinking about the future. C. They have little interest in job planning. D. They are unaware of what the job involves. 5. What was the author’s early career life like? A. Planned and promising. B. Satisfying but routine. C. Goal-driven but exhausting. D. Stressful but rewarding. 6. People with “arrival fallacy” believe __________. A. future goals are beyond reach B. new pressures will soon appear C. endurance guarantees promotion D. happiness comes after goal completion 7. How does the author view ambition? A. It should be grounded in life. B. It leads to high self-expectation. C. It fuels people’s craze for milestones. D. It should be replaced by practical goals. C Step into the woods with an expert birder and a beginner. The expert can spot and name species at a glance, while the beginner struggles to tell one songbird from another. What’s going on inside their heads? When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity, supports the development of expertise. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing. To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues conducted an experiment. They analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged on a screening test. While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they were asked to identify the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species. The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species-six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t-as targets. As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, expert birders accurately identified 83 per cent of local bird species and 61 per cent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 per cent of both of groups of birds. While identifying non-local birds, activity in certain brain regions increased in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are involved in object identification, visual processing, attention and working memory. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive (认知的) processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing. These regions, along with others involved in these functions, also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birders, suggesting that building expertise in birding reconfigures the brain. As we age, the brain tends to become less complicated and organized. But this drop was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting that birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “It suggests that maintaining brain activity with some specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Canada. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. An introduction of a key scientific concept. B. An example of cognitive changes in experts. C. A description of brain changes during learning. D. A summary of experimental findings on musicians. 9. What can we learn about the experiment? A. Expert birders were assigned different tasks. B. Enough time was given to memorize the birds. C. Local species were more frequently presented. D. Participants tried picking out the birds shown before. 10. What does the underlined word “reconfigures” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Tests the limits of. B. Changes the structure of. C. Eases the burden of. D. Restores the function of. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how bird-watching influences human cognition. B. To compare cognitive abilities between experts and beginners. C. To propose a new scientific method for studying bird-watching. D. To highlight the importance of outdoor activities for brain health. D Why do life’s challenges make some people stronger and others weaker? The answer may lie in how our minds and genes interact. A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle. Until now, research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate, so bringing them together in this research is really exciting. Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events. But the new research finds that, in certain situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments. If a child with so-called risky genes is in a good school and has much support, he or she can really flourish. We’re beginning to realize that we shouldn’t call them risky genes, but sensitivity genes. This means that some people at risk of mental health problems could, in the right conditions, be really happy. The other side of the research looks at cognitive biases. People always say: “Why is the media full of negative news stories?” This negativity can result in a society where people feel very anxious all the time. All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons - it’s more important to spot a predator (捕食者) than food-but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people. They are even more sensitive to the effects of negative information, making it more likely that they will adopt a pessimistic habit of mind. Crucially, these same people who are more affected by negativity are also more likely to be responsive to positive situations and, potentially, to psychological interventions. Right now, the researchers are on a five-year project and only halfway through. One of the exciting things is the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders. Once we know this, we will be in a better position to tailor treatments for individuals, rather than applying the one-size-fits-all approach used now. 12. What’s the focus of the new research? A. Attitudes to different life choices. B. The influence of negative experiences. C. Responsive mechanisms to challenges. D. The relationship between environment and genes. 13. How do the researchers arrive at the realization about “risky genes”? A. By clarifying an assumption. B. By comparing different situations. C. By adjusting research procedures. D. By analyzing effects of different genes. 14. What makes people sensitive to negativity according to paragraph 3? A. Pressure from modern life. B. Built-in survival mode. C. Exposure to negative reports. D. Drive for food resources. 15. Who might benefit more from the research? A. People with genetic disorders. B. People having high-risk lifestyles. C. People with mental health condition. D. People unwilling to accept challenges. 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。 As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood.

It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me. Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. ____20____ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies — one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here. A. He passed the habit on to me. B. I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it. C. To me, it was my father handing me the coin. D. Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past. E. Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.

Not because he didn’t like sports, but because even a short run would leave him breathless. At 16, he weighed over 100 kilograms. He tried dieting several times, only to quit within a week. Ms. Clark, the school doctor, had long noticed David’s problems. At every health check, his condition worsened: high blood pressure, high blood lipids (高血脂) and knee pain. She advised him on healthy eating and exercise. “My knees hurt,” he would say. Or “I’m just too busy with my school work.” Sometimes he blamed the canteen food, other times, the exam stress. However, Ms. Clark noticed the other side of David. She’d often spot him buried in textbooks in the library. She’d also hear teachers praise him for being active in group projects — a contrast to his give-up attitude towards fitness. One day, Ms. Clark read a story about a teacher who treated her slow history class as an honors class. Believing the students were “gifted”, she pushed them harder — and they all made great progress. Inspired, Ms. Clark decided to try something similar. She selected five overweight students, including David, and formed a special group. “From today on,” she announced, “you are my honors health class. We’ll work together and you are expected to lose at least 10 kilograms and improve your fitness by the end of this semester.” David let out a laugh, “I’ve failed so many times.” “That’s because you expected to fail,” Ms. Clark said firmly. “But honors students don’t quit.” She taught them how to keep a food diary and how to do simple exercise. David lost 1.5 kilograms in the first week — more than he had lost in the past two years combined. However, three weeks into the program, disaster struck. It was mid-term exam week. David stayed up late every night, snacking on instant noodles and cookies. At the weekly weigh-in, he regained all the weight he’d lost — plus half a kilogram. He stood silently before the group, his face burning with shame. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高三年级第二次适应性检测 英语试题 2026.05 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了丝绸之路上的古城希瓦(Khiva)的历史文化景点、旅游发展情况以及交通改善等信息，帮助读者了解这座被称为“活博物馆”的城市及其旅游概况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching. (但2026年情况将发生改变。一项新的子弹头列车服务即将启动。)”可知，2026年是希瓦的转折点，因为新的高速列车服务将改善该城市的交通可达性。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关于Nurullaboy Palace的描述“Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city. (与其他地标不同，它位于城墙环绕的古城的西北部。)”可知，Nurullaboy Palace位于伊钦卡拉城墙之外，而其他三个建筑(Islam Khodja Minaret、Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum、Juma Mosque)都在城墙内。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从希瓦的历史地位、景点介绍、交通改善、美食文化、最佳旅行时间和住宿选择等多方面对这座丝绸之路古城的旅游进行了全面概述。因此本文主要是关于丝绸之路城市希瓦的旅游概况。 B When students, or professionals, sit down across from me for life or professional coaching, they rarely begin with a crisis. More often they describe futures that sound impressive: consulting, leadership roles at major companies. Their plans are polished. From the outside, everything looks ready to go. Then I ask a different question: “What would your ordinary Tuesday look like at this job?” I want them to tell me what time they’ll wake up or what their evenings feel like when they come home tired. At this point in the conversation, in most cases, students, and sometimes even professionals, can’t answer my questions. The conversation turns into silence. They have thought about what role they want, but they haven’t yet thought about how it fits with the activities they like to do and the people they care about. I know that silence because I once sat in their chair. Early in my career, I was chasing a promotion I thought I wanted. One day, a senior colleague asked me to stay late and help her revise a report. I said yes, as always. At 9 p.m., alone in the office, I looked at my cold takeout and found this was my third late night that week. I had no energy to call my family, no memory of what I’d eaten for lunch. That night. I forced myself to picture the promotion I was chasing: the same late nights, just a fancier title. That was when I realized: like many ambitious young people, I had been treating work as sacrifice. But endurance (忍耐) only matters if we know what we’re enduring for. The former belief that lasting fulfillment waits at the finish line is what psychologists call the “arrival fallacy.” The problem is, goals rarely transform daily life as we expect. New pressures replace old ones. The future we imagined becomes just the new normal. Meanwhile, the real question remains unanswered. Do I actually like how I spend my days? That’s why I push my conversation partners toward the details - painting as complete a picture as they can. I am not to discourage ambition, but it needs a reality check. Our everyday isn’t a means to a few milestones. Life is enjoyed through the ordinary Tuesdays we spend living it. 4. Why do people fail to describe an “ordinary Tuesday”? A. They lack confidence in their career. B. They avoid thinking about the future. C. They have little interest in job planning. D. They are unaware of what the job involves. 5. What was the author’s early career life like? A. Planned and promising. B. Satisfying but routine. C. Goal-driven but exhausting. D. Stressful but rewarding. 6. People with “arrival fallacy” believe __________. A. future goals are beyond reach B. new pressures will soon appear C. endurance guarantees promotion D. happiness comes after goal completion 7. How does the author view ambition? A. It should be grounded in life. B. It leads to high self-expectation. C. It fuels people’s craze for milestones. D. It should be replaced by practical goals. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过职业辅导的经历，发现许多人只关注远大的职业目标，却忽视了日常工作的真实面貌。作者结合自身早年追求晋升的经历，提出了“到达谬误”这一概念，强调幸福来自于日常生活本身，而非目标达成之后，呼吁人们在追求雄心壮志时要脚踏实地。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“More often they describe futures that sound impressive: consulting, leadership roles at major companies. Their plans are polished. (他们更多描述的是听起来令人印象深刻的未来：咨询、大公司的领导职位。他们的计划很完善。)”以及第二段中“They have thought about what role they want, but they haven't yet thought about how it fits with the activities they like to do and the people they care about. (他们想过自己想要什么角色，但还没有想过这个角色如何与他们喜欢做的事情和关心的人相匹配。)”可知，人们之所以无法描述一个“普通的周二”，是因为他们只关注职位和目标本身，却不了解这份工作日常具体涉及什么。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Early in my career, I was chasing a promotion I thought I wanted. (在我职业生涯早期，我在追逐一个我以为自己想要的晋升。)”以及“At 9 p.m., alone in the office, I looked at my cold takeout and found this was my third late night that week. I had no energy to call my family, no memory of what I'd eaten for lunch. (晚上9点，独自在办公室，我看着冷掉的外卖，发现这已经是那周第三个加班的夜晚了。我没有精力给家人打电话，甚至不记得午饭吃了什么。)”可知，作者早期的职业生活是目标驱动但非常疲惫的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The former belief that lasting fulfillment waits at the finish line is what psychologists call the “arrival fallacy.” (心理学家将持久的满足感在终点线等着这一先前的信念称为“到达谬误”。)”可知，有“到达谬误”心态的人认为幸福在目标完成之后才会到来。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I am not to discourage ambition, but it needs a reality check. Our everyday isn't a means to a few milestones. Life is enjoyed through the ordinary Tuesdays we spend living it. (我并不是要打击雄心壮志，但它需要一次现实检验。我们的日常不是通往几个里程碑的手段。生活是通过我们度过的那些普通周二来享受的。)”可知，作者认为雄心壮志应该立足于真实的日常生活，不能脱离生活实际。 C Step into the woods with an expert birder and a beginner. The expert can spot and name species at a glance, while the beginner struggles to tell one songbird from another. What’s going on inside their heads? When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity, supports the development of expertise. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing. To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues conducted an experiment. They analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged on a screening test. While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they were asked to identify the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species. The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species-six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t-as targets. As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, expert birders accurately identified 83 per cent of local bird species and 61 per cent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 per cent of both of groups of birds. While identifying non-local birds, activity in certain brain regions increased in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are involved in object identification, visual processing, attention and working memory. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive (认知的) processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing. These regions, along with others involved in these functions, also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birders, suggesting that building expertise in birding reconfigures the brain. As we age, the brain tends to become less complicated and organized. But this drop was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting that birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “It suggests that maintaining brain activity with some specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Canada. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. An introduction of a key scientific concept. B. An example of cognitive changes in experts. C. A description of brain changes during learning. D. A summary of experimental findings on musicians. 9. What can we learn about the experiment? A. Expert birders were assigned different tasks. B. Enough time was given to memorize the birds. C. Local species were more frequently presented. D. Participants tried picking out the birds shown before. 10. What does the underlined word “reconfigures” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Tests the limits of. B. Changes the structure of. C. Eases the burden of. D. Restores the function of. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how bird-watching influences human cognition. B. To compare cognitive abilities between experts and beginners. C. To propose a new scientific method for studying bird-watching. D. To highlight the importance of outdoor activities for brain health. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍观鸟技能依托神经可塑性重塑大脑结构，阐述专业观鸟者的认知优势以及观鸟对延缓大脑衰老的积极作用。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity, supports the development of expertise.(学习或练习一项技能时，大脑会自我重组，强化并精简相关神经通路。这种能力被称为神经可塑性，有助于专业能力的养成。)”可知，第二段主要介绍一个关键科学概念。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they were asked to identify the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species.(参与者接受脑部扫描时，会观看不足四秒的鸟类图片，约十秒后要在四张不同鸟类图片中找出刚才看过的那一只。)”可知，参与者需要辨认先前展示过的鸟类。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“These regions, along with others involved in these functions, also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birders, suggesting that building expertise in birding reconfigures the brain.(这些负责相关功能的大脑区域，在专业观鸟者脑中结构更复杂、更有条理，这表明练就观鸟专业技能会reconfigures大脑。)”可知，观鸟专长会使大脑的构造发生变化，因此，画线单词reconfigures含义与“改变……的结构”相近，B选项符合语境。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中的“These regions, along with others involved in these functions, also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birders, suggesting that building expertise in birding reconfigures the brain.(这些负责相关功能的脑区在专业观鸟者脑中结构更复杂有序，说明习得观鸟专业技能会重塑大脑。)”以及第六段中的“But this drop was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting that birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage.(专业观鸟者大脑衰老退化更轻微，观鸟有助于构建认知储备，抵御衰老、适应损伤。)”可知，作者写作目的是解释观鸟如何影响人类认知能力。 D Why do life’s challenges make some people stronger and others weaker? The answer may lie in how our minds and genes interact. A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle. Until now, research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate, so bringing them together in this research is really exciting. Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events. But the new research finds that, in certain situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments. If a child with so-called risky genes is in a good school and has much support, he or she can really flourish. We’re beginning to realize that we shouldn’t call them risky genes, but sensitivity genes. This means that some people at risk of mental health problems could, in the right conditions, be really happy. The other side of the research looks at cognitive biases. People always say: “Why is the media full of negative news stories?” This negativity can result in a society where people feel very anxious all the time. All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons - it’s more important to spot a predator (捕食者) than food-but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people. They are even more sensitive to the effects of negative information, making it more likely that they will adopt a pessimistic habit of mind. Crucially, these same people who are more affected by negativity are also more likely to be responsive to positive situations and, potentially, to psychological interventions. Right now, the researchers are on a five-year project and only halfway through. One of the exciting things is the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders. Once we know this, we will be in a better position to tailor treatments for individuals, rather than applying the one-size-fits-all approach used now. 12. What’s the focus of the new research? A. Attitudes to different life choices. B. The influence of negative experiences. C. Responsive mechanisms to challenges. D. The relationship between environment and genes. 13. How do the researchers arrive at the realization about “risky genes”? A. By clarifying an assumption. B. By comparing different situations. C. By adjusting research procedures. D. By analyzing effects of different genes. 14. What makes people sensitive to negativity according to paragraph 3? A. Pressure from modern life. B. Built-in survival mode. C. Exposure to negative reports. D. Drive for food resources. 15. Who might benefit more from the research? A. People with genetic disorders. B. People having high-risk lifestyles. C. People with mental health condition. D. People unwilling to accept challenges. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍一项新研究探究心理与基因机制，解释逆境让人强弱有别的原因，并有望实现心理疾病个性化治疗。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle.(一项新的研究项目正在探究认知和遗传机制，解释为何有人面对困境能成长、有人却陷入挣扎。)”可知，这项新研究聚焦人面对挑战时的反应机制。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events. But the new research finds that, in certain situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments. (以往的研究明确表明，当人们遭遇生活中的负面事件时，某些基因组合可能会使人患上焦虑症或抑郁症。但这项新研究发现，在特定环境下，身处充满关怀支持的氛围中时，这些基因也能给人带来实实在在的益处。)”可知，研究人员通过对比不同环境下基因的不同影响，得出关于 “风险基因” 这一结论。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons — it’s more important to spot a predator (捕食者) than food-but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people. (出于进化层面的原因，所有人的大脑天生就会对负面情绪更为敏感——发现捕食者远比寻找食物更为重要，而这一点在焦虑或抑郁人群身上体现得尤为明显。)”可知，对负面信息敏感源于与生俱来的生存本能模式。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One of the exciting things is the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders.(这项研究有望为心理疾病研发更具个性化的治疗方案。)”可知，有心理健康问题的人群将从该研究中获益更多。 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。 As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood. I was fortunate to have had the guidance of my father, who had many hobbies in his life. ____16____ He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen. ____17____ I was always looking for pennies — whether given as change or picked up off the ground — and checking to see if they were “Wheaties”, pennies made from 1909 to 1958. Some Lincoln Wheat Cents were quite valuable, but for me, the real joy was the search itself. My father passed away last week. Although he will be missed, there is no sadness in his passing. He lived nearly 97 years of a full and meaningful life. During his final moments, I whispered in his ear that I needed a sign after he left us. ____18____ The next day, my sister and I were going through his old clothes when something fell out and hit the floor — it was a 1928 Wheat penny. There was no way to know how long it had been there. Some might call it a coincidence. ____19____ The fact that it was also a Wheat penny proved what I already knew — it was him. It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me. Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. ____20____ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies — one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here. A. He passed the habit on to me. B. I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it. C. To me, it was my father handing me the coin. D. Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past. E. Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.

What 40. complexity 41. comforts 42. in 43. remarkable 44. engaged##engaging 45. steadily 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了外国人在中国定居，体验中国日常生活、模仿中国日常习惯，中国魅力正逐渐获得世界认可的情况。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：伊娃·莫拉罗，一位意大利媒体从业者，和一群早起的人一起伸展身体，迎接新的一天。media professional为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，此处表示“一位意大利媒体从业者”，为泛指；Italian是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在小区院子的楼下，法国企业家苏亚停好自行车，微笑着用中文回应邻居的问候：“吃过啦！”。此处与parks并列作谓语动词，主语Sua是第三人称单数，且全文时态为一般现在时，所以用answers。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们没有仅仅体验短暂的“中国经历”，而是选择定居中国，真正欣赏中国的生活方式。instead of为介词短语，后接动名词作宾语，所以用sampling。 【39题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：在全球传播的不是完整复杂的中国，而是日常的点滴。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代“传播的事物”，所以用What引导该主语从句，且句首首字母大写。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：在全球传播的不是完整复杂的中国，而是日常的点滴。空处作介词in的宾语，且被形容词full修饰，所以用complex的名词形式complexity，此处表示“复杂性”，为不可数名词。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：她在中国生活了近二十年，对热水和中医这类简单舒适的事物产生了深厚的感情。comfort此处表示“令人舒适的事物”，为可数名词，结合like hot water and traditional Chinese medicine可知，此处用复数形式comforts。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：她也爱上了户外运动，和中国邻居一起在广场上唱歌跳舞，并从中国老年人非凡的活力中汲取灵感。join sb. in doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“加入某人做某事”。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：她也爱上了户外运动，和中国邻居一起在广场上唱歌跳舞，并从中国老年人非凡的活力中汲取灵感。空处修饰名词vitality，所以用remark的形容词形式remarkable，意为“非凡的、显著的”。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她真诚地希望自己晚年也能像他们一样，充满激情，参与社区活动，乐于交流。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语，be engaged in“参与”是固定搭配，此处省略be，用过去分词；engage in也表示“参与”，所以这里也可用现在分词engaging。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：随着更多人体验中国日常生活的节奏，中国的魅力正逐渐获得世界的认可。空处修饰动词gaining，所以用steady的副词形式steadily，意为“逐渐地、稳步地”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，近来，手机阅读、听书等新型阅读方式逐渐普及。你的英国朋友Chris想了解你喜爱的阅读方式。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）你的方式； （2）说明理由。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m delighted to hear that you want to know about my favorite reading style.

Not because he didn’t like sports, but because even a short run would leave him breathless. At 16, he weighed over 100 kilograms. He tried dieting several times, only to quit within a week. Ms. Clark, the school doctor, had long noticed David’s problems. At every health check, his condition worsened: high blood pressure, high blood lipids (高血脂) and knee pain. She advised him on healthy eating and exercise. “My knees hurt,” he would say. Or “I’m just too busy with my school work.” Sometimes he blamed the canteen food, other times, the exam stress. However, Ms. Clark noticed the other side of David. She’d often spot him buried in textbooks in the library. She’d also hear teachers praise him for being active in group projects — a contrast to his give-up attitude towards fitness. One day, Ms. Clark read a story about a teacher who treated her slow history class as an honors class. Believing the students were “gifted”, she pushed them harder — and they all made great progress. Inspired, Ms. Clark decided to try something similar. She selected five overweight students, including David, and formed a special group. “From today on,” she announced, “you are my honors health class. We’ll work together and you are expected to lose at least 10 kilograms and improve your fitness by the end of this semester.” David let out a laugh, “I’ve failed so many times.” “That’s because you expected to fail,” Ms. Clark said firmly. “But honors students don’t quit.” She taught them how to keep a food diary and how to do simple exercise. David lost 1.5 kilograms in the first week — more than he had lost in the past two years combined. However, three weeks into the program, disaster struck. It was mid-term exam week. David stayed up late every night, snacking on instant noodles and cookies. At the weekly weigh-in, he regained all the weight he’d lost — plus half a kilogram. He stood silently before the group, his face burning with shame. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” She patted his back gently, saying mid-term exams brought great stress to every student, and it was understandable to lose control of his diet. “Your first-week weight loss proved you have the strength to change,” she added. She helped David adjust his plan: replace late-night instant noodles with yogurt and fruit, and do 5-minute light stretches after each study session. Encouraged by her words, David lifted his head, his shame fading, and determined to stick to the plan this time. The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. He stepped on the scale steadily, and a bright smile appeared on his face when he saw the number — he had lost 2 kilograms. The group cheered loudly for him. David turned to Ms. Clark, expressing his sincere gratitude. He finally realized that setbacks were normal, and persistence was the key to success. From then on, he balanced his study and fitness well, moving steadily towards his weight-loss goal. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了超重的高中生David讨厌体育课，多次减肥失败，在校医Clark女士的鼓励下加入健康荣誉班，初期减肥见效，却因期中考试熬夜暴食反弹羞愧不已，最终在Clark女士的引导下重拾信心、坚持健身的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句内容可知，接下来可描写Clark女士安慰David，肯定他之前的努力，帮他分析反弹原因并调整健身计划，缓解他的羞愧感，激发他的斗志。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，接下来可描写David坚持调整后的计划，称重时取得新进展，得到同伴和Clark女士的认可，进而坚定健身信念，学会平衡学习与健身。 2. 续写线索 Clark女士安慰鼓励David——分析体重反弹原因、调整健身计划——David重拾信心、坚持执行计划——称重取得新突破——坚定健身信念、平衡学习与健身 3.词类激活 行为类 ①轻拍：pat/tap ②抬起（头）：lift/raise ③鼓舞：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①羞愧：shame/guilt ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]She patted his back gently, saying mid-term exams brought great stress to every student, and it was understandable to lose control of his diet. (运用了现在分词saying作状语) [高分句型2]He finally realized that setbacks were normal, and persistence was the key to success.
