He was well-known among those of us currently enrolled in the University of Arizona’s MFA program — the same program Siken had graduated from. His poems would show up after they were printed and sent out in classrooms in the Modern Languages building. Many of us would teach his work to our English 301 students. Earlier this year, I met Siken at Casa Video. A knee injury involving one of the four dogs he lives with had forced Siken to use a walker. We nodded to each other as he walked unsteadily in. I stepped forward to help him pull out a chair, and once he’d settled in, we chatted about his new, highly awaited third collection, now shortlisted for the National Book Award for Poetry. It comes a decade after his second collection, which itself came a decade after his first book. Siken had a stroke (中风) in the spring of 2019, an experience that informs every page of the new collection. Siken worked as a care worker in the mid-to-late 1990s, with patients dealing with serious mental illness. He would work long, overnight weekend shifts at behavioral health facilities so that he could read and write poetry during the week. As he wrote and revised his first book over 15 years, he left social work for restaurant jobs in downtown Tucson. There was one job opportunity in 1998 that led him to move to New York, but he returned to Tucson less than a year later, working at a local bar. For Siken, poetry is also service. He likes poetry because it’s clear and fast, and he tries to be as economical and precise as he can in his writing. Through health challenges,career shifts, and life changes, Siken has stayed committed to creation, turning his experiences into work that connects with readers. 1. What do we know about Siken from paragraph 2? A. He only wrote about social events. B. He gave up public appearances. C. He wrote poetry in memory of his dogs. D. He finished his 3 collections in over 20 years. 2. Why does the author mention Siken’s career changes? A. To show his job as a care worker was challenging. B. To prove Siken struggled to find secure employment. C. To highlight Siken’s love for poetry remained unchanged. D. To prove Siken had to work tirelessly to make a living. 3. Which of the following words can best describe Siken? A. Silent and loving. B. Humorous and hard-working. C. Selfless and patient. D. Strong-willed and devoted. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了著名诗人Richard Siken的人生经历、创作历程，即便历经伤病困扰、多次职业变动，他始终坚守诗歌创作初心，将人生阅历化为能打动读者的文学作品。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I stepped forward to help him pull out a chair, and once he’d settled in, we chatted about his new, highly awaited third collection, now shortlisted for the National Book Award for Poetry. It comes a decade after his second collection, which itself came a decade after his first book.(我走上前去帮他拉了把椅子，等他坐定后，我们聊起了他备受期待的第三部诗集，这部诗集现已入围国家图书诗歌奖。自他的第二部诗集问世已有十年，而第二部诗集距离他的第一部作品出版也过去了十年)”可知，Siken三部诗集每部间隔十年，从第一部到第三部前后历时二十余年。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He would work long, overnight weekend shifts at behavioral health facilities so that he could read and write poetry during the week.(他会在心理健康机构长时间值周末通宵班，这样他就可以在工作日读写诗歌)”可知，Siken多次更换职业，却一直想方设法腾出时间读写诗歌，作者提及他的职业变动，是为了凸显他对诗歌的热爱始终未曾改变。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Through health challenges, career shifts, and life changes, Siken has stayed committed to creation, turning his experiences into work that connects with readers.(历经健康挑战、职业转变和生活变迁，Siken始终坚守创作，将自身经历转化为能与读者产生共鸣的作品)”可推断，Siken纵使遭遇伤病与人生变故，依然坚守创作本心，意志坚定且对诗歌事业执着投入。 B Franklin D. Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 4. Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A. To test their kindness. B. To measure their social politeness. C. To reveal their passive listening. D. To avoid exchanging small talk. 5. What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A. Talking more to show you care. B. Finding common topics to discuss. C. Sharing your own experiences regularly. D. Giving others time to express themselves. 6. What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A. It is a sign of disinterest. B. It allows thoughts to develop. C. It means the talk is about to end. D. It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance and skills of listening. B. The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C. Ways to improve communication ability. D. Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了倾听的重要性，通过罗斯福的轶事引出人们普遍存在“假性倾听”问题，并提供了改善倾听能力的具体技巧。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. (他认为，在这种大多数对话中，人们实际上从未真正倾听对方说的话，就好像人们在读提示卡并礼貌地等待轮到自己说话。为了说明他的观点，他有时会用“我今天早上杀了一条大蛇”来打招呼。无一例外，人们都点头、微笑，然后像往常一样继续。)”可知，罗斯福用不同寻常的方式打招呼是为了揭示人们的被动倾听。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. (当我们不停地说话时，对方会感到不被需要和不被欣赏。当我们倾听他人时，我们允许他们处理任何压力或烦恼。因此，它能建立更深层次、满意度更高的关系。)”可知，给他人表达自己的时间可以建立牢固的人际关系。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. (一个是让沉默出现。沉默是对话生长的空间。就像这页纸上的文字由它们周围的空白所定义一样，沉默让我们的想法成形并推动对话向前发展。)”可知，作者认为对话中的沉默能让想法发展。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段罗斯福的轶事、第二段“Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. (研究证明，好的对话就像接球游戏一样，是一个来回往复的过程。它们需要的说听比例不能远离50:50。)”和第三段中提出的倾听技巧可知，本文主要讲述的是倾听的重要性和技巧。 C In times of intense stress, people sometimes let it out with a scream and a new study suggests that plants might do the same. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has found that plants let out ultrasonic (超声的) screams when damaged or stressed by drought. The noises, falling within a range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals perceive them. Insects might be listening for sounds from stressed plants to assess their condition before laying eggs on their leaves. A moth (蛾) may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed. Researchers attached recording devices directly to plants to listen for secret sounds inside their stems (茎). In drought, air bubbles formed, burst and caused vibrations (振动) within the tissue that normally carries water up the plants’ stems. The process was picked up by the attached recording devices, but researchers wanted to know if any plant sounds could travel through the air. So the team placed microphones 10 centimetres from stressed-out tomato and tobacco plants. They subjected one set of crops to drought and another to physical damage. A third group was untouched. The microphones did pick up distinct sounds. On average, drought-stressed tomato plants let out about 35 ultrasonic screams per hour, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time. The average number of sounds from untouched plants fell below one per hour. The researchers also attempted to identify each plant group just based on its screams. Using a type of artificial intelligence calculations, the team picked out distinct features in each set of sounds and successfully sorted their plants into three kinds: “dry, cut or untouched.” If it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation, farmers might be able to hear these stress signals too. In future, enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction”, which will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought. 8. The moth is mentioned in paragraph 2 to show __________. A. moths need enough water when laying eggs B. some animals are able to hear plants scream C. some insects are picky about their surroundings D. wildlife species depend on each other when stressed 9. What can we learn from the research? A. Plants’ sounds couldn’t be detected by humans. B. Plants can be grouped according to their features. C. Plants’ screams are related to stress types in a way. D. Air bubbles contribute to the lack of water in plants. 10. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Supporting evidence for the research result. B. Potential application of the research findings. C. A further explanation of the research methods. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Plants’ Vibrations: Way to React to Stress B. Stress Signals: Secret Newly Found in Plants C. Green Screams: Plants Make Noises When Stressed D. Ultrasonic Screams: Discovery Opens a New Chapter 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当植物受到干旱的破坏或压力时，会发出超声波尖叫。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Insects might be listening for sounds from stressed plants to assess their condition before laying eggs on their leaves. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed.(昆虫在叶子上产卵之前，可能会倾听有压力的植物的声音，以评估它们的状况。蛾可能会决定不在听起来有水分胁迫的植物上产卵)”可知，第二段提到了飞蛾，以表明一些动物能够听到植物的尖叫。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The microphones did pick up distinct sounds. On average, drought-stressed tomato plants let out about 35 ultrasonic screams per hour, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time. The average number of sounds from untouched plants fell below one per hour.(麦克风确实能听到不同的声音。平均而言，干旱胁迫下的番茄植株每小时发出约35声超声波尖叫，而那些切茎的番茄植株则发出约25声。干旱胁迫下的烟草植株每小时发出约11声尖叫，同时被割的作物发出约15声声音。未受影响的植物发出的平均声音数降至每小时一次以下)”可知，同种植物压力类型不同，尖叫次数不同。由此推知，植物的尖叫在某种程度上与压力类型有关。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In future, enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction”, which will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.(未来，让农民能够倾听缺水植物的声音可能会“开辟一个新的方向”，随着气候变化使更多地区面临干旱，这一点将变得越来越重要)”可知，这一新的发现可以让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音，农民就可以快速判断植物当前处于缺水的状况。由此推知，这一段重点介绍了研究结果的潜在应用。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has found that plants let out ultrasonic screams when damaged or stressed by drought.(以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现，当植物受到干旱的破坏或压力时，会发出超声波尖叫)”可知，文章主要是关于植物在受到缺水或者被砍断时的压力时，它们会发出声音。由此可知，C项“绿色尖叫：植物在受到压力时会发出噪音”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 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。 I’ve been studying attention for several years, and this statement — “The quality of your attention determines the quality of your life” — has become the entire thesis (核心论点) for my practice of attentioneering. ____12____ Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every second you’re hit with information, thoughts and feelings. What you focus on shapes your behaviour. That’s why two people in the same room, sharing the same events, can have different days: one notices problems while the other sees opportunities. It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experience. I’ve said this before too: ____13____ This basic ability — the capacity to direct and maintain your attention—is just what enables deep reading, attentive listening, and effective learning. William James wrote way back in 1890, “My experience is what I agree to attend to.” Science now shows people who can keep focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement. So, attention matters — critically. ____14____ So are you out of luck? No. The other half of the attentioneering thesis is that attention is a skill that can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental repetition. Every time you fight the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength. In a world where big tech is spending billions of dollars to break down your attention, developing this skill gives you an advantage. ____15____ While others are controlled by their desires, you can choose your focus. While AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t be replaced. ____16____ How you develop it and where you invest it determines not just what you achieve, but who you become and how you experience being alive. A. Here’s why I believe it’s true. B. The bad news is that yours is terrible. C. Everything else becomes background noise. D. What you focus on becomes the only reality. E. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have. F. Concentration really is the basis of everything meaningful. G. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep. 【答案】12. A 13. F 14. B 15. G 16. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕注意力展开论述，核心观点是注意力的质量对生活质量起着决定性作用，且注意力是一种可通过训练提升的技能，培养这种技能在当下社会具有重要意义。 【12题详解】 前文“I’ve been studying attention for several years, and this statement — “The quality of your attention determines the quality of your life” — has become the entire thesis (核心论点) for my practice of attentioneering.(我研究注意力已有数年，“注意力的质量决定生活质量”这一观点，已成为我注意力训练实践的核心论点。)”作者讲述自己研究注意力多年，“注意力的质量决定生活质量”这一观点成为自己注意力训练实践的核心论点。A选项“Here’s why I believe it’s true.(这就是为什么我相信这是真的。)”承接上文，引出接下来作者解释自己持有的观点的原因，符合语境。故选A。 【13题详解】 前文“Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every second you’re hit with information, thoughts and feelings. What you focus on shapes your behaviour.(你的注意力是一个过滤器。每一秒你都被信息、思想和感觉冲击着。你关注的事情会塑造你的行为。)”提到注意力是过滤器，你关注的事情会塑造你的行为，空后“This basic ability—the capacity to direct and maintain your attention—is just what enables deep reading, attentive listening, and effective learning.(这种基本能力——引导和保持注意力的能力——正是使深入阅读、专心倾听和有效学习成为可能的东西。)” 指出引导和保持注意力的这种基本能力能让人们进行深度阅读、专注倾听和有效学习。F选项“Concentration really is the basis of everything meaningful.(专注力真的是一切有意义事物的基础。)”起到承上启下的作用，既承接上文关于注意力重要性的论述，又引出后文对注意力这种能力具体作用的阐述，故选F。 【14题详解】 前文“So, attention matters — critically.(所以，注意力至关重要。)”强调注意力极其重要。后文内容“So are you out of luck? No. The other half of the attentioneering thesis is that attention is a skill that can be trained.(那你运气不好吗？不，注意力理论的另一半是，注意力是一种可以训练的技能。)”指出注意力是一种可以训练的技能，并非运气不好就没办法。B选项“The bad news is that yours is terrible.(坏消息是你的注意力很差。)”先提出一个不太好的情况，然后通过后文转折说明注意力可训练，形成一种先抑后扬的逻辑，符合语境，故选B。 【15题详解】 前文“In a world where big tech is spending billions of dollars to break down your attention, developing this skill gives you an advantage.(在一个大型科技公司斥资数十亿美元来分散你注意力的世界里，培养这种技能会给你带来优势。)”说明在科技巨头花费巨资分散人们注意力的世界里，培养注意力技能能带来优势。后文“While others are controlled by their desires, you can choose your focus. While AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t be replaced.(当别人被他们的欲望所控制时，你可以选择你的重点。虽然人工智能正在取代你的同事，但你正在做重要的创造性工作，而你的老板看重这些工作，这些工作是无法被取代的。)”将培养注意力技能的人与他人进行对比，突出培养该技能的好处。G选项“While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep.(当其他人都沉浸在肤浅的投入中时，你可以深入其中。)”进一步说明培养注意力技能能让人有更深入的体验，与前后文逻辑相符，故选G。 【16题详解】 后文“How you develop it and where you invest it determines not just what you achieve, but who you become and how you experience being alive.(你如何培养它，在哪里投资它，不仅决定了你的成就，还决定了你成为什么样的人，以及你如何体验生活。)”讲述如何培养注意力以及将注意力投入到哪里不仅决定成就，还决定成为什么样的人以及如何体验生活。E选项“Your attention is the most valuable resource you have.(你的注意力是你拥有的最宝贵的资源。)”引出后文关于注意力培养和投入重要性的论述，符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Caring 17-year-old, Lauren Schroeder, was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community.

When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I’d just eat the kids’ leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the “Cereal for Diet.” Back then,I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts. One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away.Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away,I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind. I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home,I said, “You’re in charge.” I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, “Fix me.” And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, “Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show.” I tried explaining, “No, I don’t want to do a show. That sounds scary.” She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning. Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself — my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym. 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。 One day, Emily handed me an application form. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, Emily handed me an application form. “You’re ready,” she said with a confident smile. It was for a local body-building show, the very thing I’d once feared. My heart raced as I looked at the form, but then I thought of all the progress I'd made. I took a deep breath and filled it out, determined to face my fear. I knew this was a chance to prove to myself that I could achieve something I never thought possible. Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. Every day, I spent hours in the gym, following Emily’s strict workout plan. I also paid close attention to my diet, making sure I got the right nutrients. As the show day drew near, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. But with Emily’s constant encouragement and support, I felt more and more confident. Finally, the big day arrived, and I stepped onto the stage, ready to show the world what I’d accomplished. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者作为三个孩子的妈妈，一直忽视自我照顾，减肥尝试均失败。一次看到健身房广告后，在孩子调皮的刺激下决定报名参加健身挑战，在教练艾米丽的严格训练和营养规划下，作者逐渐进步并克服恐惧，并报名参加健美比赛，最终迎来比赛日的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一天，艾米丽递给我一张申请表。”可知，第一段可描写作者面对申请表时的心理活动，最终决定报名参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，我投入到了数周的准备工作中。”可知，第二段可描写作者为比赛所做的准备，以及比赛当天作者的表现。 2.续写线索：收到申请表——犹豫——决定报名——准备比赛——比赛当天——展示成果 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②关注：pay attention to/focus on/concentrate on ③确保：make sure/ensure/guarantee 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②自信的：confident/self-assured 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart raced as I looked at the form, but then I thought of all the progress I’d made.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句，that或which引导的限定性定语从句，that或which被省略) 【高分句型2】Finally, the big day arrived, and I stepped onto the stage, ready to show the world what I’d accomplished.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一英语期中 时量:120分钟 满分:150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。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.

He was well-known among those of us currently enrolled in the University of Arizona’s MFA program — the same program Siken had graduated from. His poems would show up after they were printed and sent out in classrooms in the Modern Languages building. Many of us would teach his work to our English 301 students. Earlier this year, I met Siken at Casa Video. A knee injury involving one of the four dogs he lives with had forced Siken to use a walker. We nodded to each other as he walked unsteadily in. I stepped forward to help him pull out a chair, and once he’d settled in, we chatted about his new, highly awaited third collection, now shortlisted for the National Book Award for Poetry. It comes a decade after his second collection, which itself came a decade after his first book. Siken had a stroke (中风) in the spring of 2019, an experience that informs every page of the new collection. Siken worked as a care worker in the mid-to-late 1990s, with patients dealing with serious mental illness. He would work long, overnight weekend shifts at behavioral health facilities so that he could read and write poetry during the week. As he wrote and revised his first book over 15 years, he left social work for restaurant jobs in downtown Tucson. There was one job opportunity in 1998 that led him to move to New York, but he returned to Tucson less than a year later, working at a local bar. For Siken, poetry is also service. He likes poetry because it’s clear and fast, and he tries to be as economical and precise as he can in his writing. Through health challenges,career shifts, and life changes, Siken has stayed committed to creation, turning his experiences into work that connects with readers. 1. What do we know about Siken from paragraph 2? A. He only wrote about social events. B. He gave up public appearances. C. He wrote poetry in memory of his dogs. D. He finished his 3 collections in over 20 years. 2. Why does the author mention Siken’s career changes? A. To show his job as a care worker was challenging. B. To prove Siken struggled to find secure employment. C. To highlight Siken’s love for poetry remained unchanged. D. To prove Siken had to work tirelessly to make a living. 3. Which of the following words can best describe Siken? A. Silent and loving. B. Humorous and hard-working. C. Selfless and patient. D. Strong-willed and devoted. B Franklin D. Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 4. Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A. To test their kindness. B. To measure their social politeness. C. To reveal their passive listening. D. To avoid exchanging small talk. 5. What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A. Talking more to show you care. B. Finding common topics to discuss. C. Sharing your own experiences regularly. D. Giving others time to express themselves. 6. What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A. It is a sign of disinterest. B. It allows thoughts to develop. C. It means the talk is about to end. D. It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance and skills of listening. B. The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C. Ways to improve communication ability. D. Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. C In times of intense stress, people sometimes let it out with a scream and a new study suggests that plants might do the same. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has found that plants let out ultrasonic (超声的) screams when damaged or stressed by drought. The noises, falling within a range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals perceive them. Insects might be listening for sounds from stressed plants to assess their condition before laying eggs on their leaves. A moth (蛾) may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed. Researchers attached recording devices directly to plants to listen for secret sounds inside their stems (茎). In drought, air bubbles formed, burst and caused vibrations (振动) within the tissue that normally carries water up the plants’ stems. The process was picked up by the attached recording devices, but researchers wanted to know if any plant sounds could travel through the air. So the team placed microphones 10 centimetres from stressed-out tomato and tobacco plants. They subjected one set of crops to drought and another to physical damage. A third group was untouched. The microphones did pick up distinct sounds. On average, drought-stressed tomato plants let out about 35 ultrasonic screams per hour, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time. The average number of sounds from untouched plants fell below one per hour. The researchers also attempted to identify each plant group just based on its screams. Using a type of artificial intelligence calculations, the team picked out distinct features in each set of sounds and successfully sorted their plants into three kinds: “dry, cut or untouched.” If it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation, farmers might be able to hear these stress signals too. In future, enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction”, which will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought. 8.

Every second you’re hit with information, thoughts and feelings. What you focus on shapes your behaviour. That’s why two people in the same room, sharing the same events, can have different days: one notices problems while the other sees opportunities. It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experience. I’ve said this before too: ____13____ This basic ability — the capacity to direct and maintain your attention—is just what enables deep reading, attentive listening, and effective learning. William James wrote way back in 1890, “My experience is what I agree to attend to.” Science now shows people who can keep focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement. So, attention matters — critically. ____14____ So are you out of luck? No. The other half of the attentioneering thesis is that attention is a skill that can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental repetition. Every time you fight the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength. In a world where big tech is spending billions of dollars to break down your attention, developing this skill gives you an advantage. ____15____ While others are controlled by their desires, you can choose your focus. While AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t be replaced. ____16____ How you develop it and where you invest it determines not just what you achieve, but who you become and how you experience being alive. A. Here’s why I believe it’s true. B. The bad news is that yours is terrible. C. Everything else becomes background noise. D. What you focus on becomes the only reality. E. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have. F. Concentration really is the basis of everything meaningful. G. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Caring 17-year-old, Lauren Schroeder, was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community.

When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I’d just eat the kids’ leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the “Cereal for Diet.” Back then,I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts. One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away.Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away,I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind. I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home,I said, “You’re in charge.” I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, “Fix me.” And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, “Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show.” I tried explaining, “No, I don’t want to do a show. That sounds scary.” She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning. Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself — my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym. 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。 One day, Emily handed me an application form. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
