Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources: CLEAN ENERGY SOLAR Solar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption. WIND Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels. BIOMASS Biomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms — everything from natural waste from forests to algae (藻类). GEOTHERMAL Geothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down. WATERPOWER Falling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy. Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details: Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030/TWh “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress — the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future. 1. Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost? A. Solar. B. Waterpower. C. Wind. D. Geothermal. 2. How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030? A. 3,100 TWh. B. 3,646 TWh. C. 4,000 TWh. D. 4,900 TWh. 3. Why does the author quote Edison? A. To urge people to save energy. B. To appreciate renewable energy advancements. C. To honor his great contributions. D. To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time. B While undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I returned to work — probably a little too soon. It was a difficult and emotionally draining time with my health issues. It’s all the stuff that makes our lives “full”. One day, after a stress-filled phone conversation, I hung up the phone, put my head down on my desk, and let out a huge, weepy sigh. My co-worker, Joyce, stepped away from her work and rolled her chair next to mine. “What’s going on?” she asked. “What isn’t going on?” I complained. “Pick a subject: sick mom, out-of-control adult child, sick dog, daily treatments, and my car that needs work. Everything is dreadful! I’m so tired. I feel like all this will never end!” I grabbed a bunch of tissues and tried to compose myself. Joyce gave me a moment to calm down. She then told me a little about a time when she also had a tough time with a lot of things going on. She felt totally overwhelmed, like there was no end to the stress. I asked her how she had managed. She winked and held out an open hand and a closed fist. Her response gave me words to live by in stressful times. “Inbox full or inbox empty?” I got the message. Those wise words have become a golden rule for me, and I am forever grateful. When I feel like life stuff just keeps piling on — whether it’s good, bad or just feels like too much to handle — I recite those perspective-changing words. I often pass on those wise words to someone when they feel overwhelmed and need a little friendly support. “Inbox full or inbox empty?” There are still many bumps in the road of my life’s journey, and I often remind myself of those words: “Inbox full or inbox empty?” My inbox is full. I don’t know what an empty inbox looks like. And I don’t want to know. 4. What can we learn about the author? A. She led a simple life. B. She was in good health. C. She had a busy schedule. D. She enjoyed her life a lot. 5. What does the underlined word “dreadful” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Terrible. B. Useless. C. Unusual. D. Interesting. 6. What can we infer about Joyce’s words? A. They didn’t work well for the author. B. They gave the author a sudden inspiration. C. They served as kind criticism to the author. D. They got the author into a jam. 7. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Her objection to others’ advice. B. Her confusion about an empty inbox. C. Her satisfaction with her present life. D. Her preference for a relaxing lifestyle. C How dark is the night sky where you live? If you’re in an urban area, the answer will likely be “not dark at all”. The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. In 2016, a group of scientists found that 83% of the world’s population and more than 99% of people in the US and Europe live under light-polluted skies. In 2023, some of the same scientists showed that the average night sky is getting brighter by 9.6% per year. This is equal to the sky brightness increasing by over four times for the duration of a childhood (18 years). And while it’s true that almost all light pollution is generated in urban areas, its effects extend beyond the streets. In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor. The high efficiency and low cost of LEDs make them increasingly common on our urban roads for our safety. But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about. Too much light at night is bad for everyone. In fact, most of the light polluting our night sky has nothing to do with safety on our roads and streets. It’s mostly about advertising and poorly mounted (安装) floodlights, and to a much, much lesser extent, people not closing their curtains. But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky. Many communities have already launched“dark sky” initiatives to minimize light pollution and promote better lighting practices. Simple measures, like turning off unnecessary lights at night, can make a significant difference. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The changes of sleep duration. B. The various sources of light pollution. C. The lack of livable urban areas. D. The widespread use of artificial light. 9. Why does the author mention LED streetlamps in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To criticize them for pollution. C. To explain their effect on health. D. To promote them in urban areas. 10. What is the good news according to the author? A. Communities fix fewer lights. B. Light pollution can be reduced. C. People avoid lighting at night. D. There are energy-efficient lights. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Night Sky B. Turn Off the Lights C. Future of Dark Nights D. Harm of Light Pollution D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 12. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 13. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 4? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 14. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 15. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 第二节（共12.5小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 The downside of creating good habits Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. ____16____ When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. In this way, habits are the backbone of any pursuit of excellence. However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. ____17____ You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better. The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. ____18____ In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. In fact, some research has shown that once a skill has been mastered there is usually a slight decline in performance over time. ____19____ To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work. Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. ____20____ A. It’s an endless cycle. B. This is true for any attempt. C. Next, you will get more positive feedback. D. Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. E. With habits like these, good enough is usually good enough. F. You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. G. But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston.

Earlier that evening, when I met another Ph.D. student, Sachin, he was equally ____22____ — buried under the weight of a fellowship application. So, we made an ____23____: After dinner, we would sit together, laptops open, phones away. It was the push I needed to finally start writing. I always ____24____ writing tasks, waiting for the perfect moment for thoughts to flow. But that moment never really arrives, and I end up with a ____25____ written piece only when the deadline becomes dangerously close. Sachin and I both grew up in India, where competition is fierce and pursuing ____26____ is prized. We carried a perfectionist mindset into graduate school, and new pressures made us want faultless first drafts, but the result was a ____27____. Having someone beside me ____28____ everything. It was a means to ensure ____29____. Our informal agreement soon became a ____30____. We scheduled weekly 90-minute sessions for focused writing, setting a small goal each time — it made the sessions surprisingly ____31____. Small wins built momentum (动力) and ____32____. Writing never got easy, but it became less ____33____. Later, we launched peer co-working sessions for other students. What began as two stuck students soon became a small ____34____. Our experience showed us that responsibility, companionship, and a shared sense of ____35____ can lower the barriers that make writing so frightening. No one should have to write alone. 21. A. clear B. draft C. blank D. complex 22. A. stuck B. restricted C. respected D. fascinated 23. A. apology B. agreement C. impression D. argument 24.

This was the opening scene of Drum Music in Dongcang, a traditional drum performance I experienced in Xi’an this summer, and it ____37____ (immediate) caught my attention. Originating from the drum music of the Tang Dynasty court, the performance told a ____38____ (remark) story of how this ancient art has survived across centuries. The show kicked off as the history ____39____ (introduce) by Mr. Zhao, a 70-year-old drum master. His disciples (徒弟) then stepped onto the stage, delivering forceful performances with dance and erhu music.

Over generations, the tradition took root in Xi’an. The message was clear and touching: music is meant ____43____ (share). Toward the end, when the performers revealed how many years they had spent practising, the audience was deeply moved and responded with enthusiastic ____44____ (applaud).

The air smelled of coffee and sweat, the overhead lights casting weak shadows on everyone’s anxious faces. I sat rigidly by the window, fingers twisting my bag belt anxiously — this was the last train of the night, and I feared missing my connection back to my hometown. With a two-hour drive from home, no one could pick me up, and the thought of being trapped in a strange station in the dark made a knot (结) of worry tighten in my stomach. A middle-aged woman with soft eyes and a gentle smile sat beside me when a seat freed up. She was carrying a small bag, and her hair was tied neatly in a ponytail (马尾辫), giving her a warm and approachable look. We talked about the delay, and I spilled out my panic about the connecting train, my voice tight with anxiety. She listened patiently, nodding in understanding, then chatted softly about her London trip. She had gone to visit her daughter and brought back a box of homemade cookies, which she offered me. Slowly, her warm tone eased my tension. Her genuine kindness made the awkwardness of talking to a stranger melt away, and our small talk flowed naturally. We checked the timetable and saw the worst. I’d miss the connecting train by just two minutes. Despair washed over me as I resigned myself to finding a hotel. When the train pulled into my transfer station, I took my bag and got off — until she hurried over, grabbed my arm and stopped me. “Come stay at my house tonight,” she said, “It’s better than looking for a hotel alone”. I froze, totally unprepared for this act of kindness from a stranger. A moment of hesitation crossed my mind, but looking into her sincere eyes, I knew this was probably the best choice I had at that moment. 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。 I nodded gratefully and followed the kind lady off the train. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the lady drove me to the train station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 玉溪一中2025—2026学年下学期高三仿真考（一） 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号及科目，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，用黑色碳素笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。毎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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What will the woman do for her father?

It was a difficult and emotionally draining time with my health issues. It’s all the stuff that makes our lives “full”. One day, after a stress-filled phone conversation, I hung up the phone, put my head down on my desk, and let out a huge, weepy sigh. My co-worker, Joyce, stepped away from her work and rolled her chair next to mine. “What’s going on?” she asked. “What isn’t going on?” I complained. “Pick a subject: sick mom, out-of-control adult child, sick dog, daily treatments, and my car that needs work. Everything is dreadful! I’m so tired. I feel like all this will never end!” I grabbed a bunch of tissues and tried to compose myself. Joyce gave me a moment to calm down. She then told me a little about a time when she also had a tough time with a lot of things going on. She felt totally overwhelmed, like there was no end to the stress. I asked her how she had managed. She winked and held out an open hand and a closed fist. Her response gave me words to live by in stressful times. “Inbox full or inbox empty?” I got the message. Those wise words have become a golden rule for me, and I am forever grateful. When I feel like life stuff just keeps piling on — whether it’s good, bad or just feels like too much to handle — I recite those perspective-changing words. I often pass on those wise words to someone when they feel overwhelmed and need a little friendly support. “Inbox full or inbox empty?” There are still many bumps in the road of my life’s journey, and I often remind myself of those words: “Inbox full or inbox empty?” My inbox is full. I don’t know what an empty inbox looks like. And I don’t want to know. 4. What can we learn about the author? A. She led a simple life. B. She was in good health. C. She had a busy schedule. D. She enjoyed her life a lot. 5. What does the underlined word “dreadful” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Terrible. B. Useless. C. Unusual. D. Interesting. 6. What can we infer about Joyce’s words? A. They didn’t work well for the author. B. They gave the author a sudden inspiration. C. They served as kind criticism to the author. D. They got the author into a jam. 7. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Her objection to others’ advice. B. Her confusion about an empty inbox. C. Her satisfaction with her present life. D. Her preference for a relaxing lifestyle. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在身患乳腺癌、生活诸事不顺时，同事Joyce用一句话点醒她，让她学会坦然面对生活的忙碌与压力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“While undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I returned to work — probably a little too soon. It was a difficult and emotionally draining time with my health issues.(在接受乳腺癌治疗期间，我回去工作了——可能有点太早了。由于健康问题，那是一段艰难且心力交瘁的时期。)”以及第四段中的“Pick a subject: sick mom, out-of-control adult child, sick dog, daily treatments, and my car that needs work.(随便说一件事：生病的母亲、失控的成年孩子、生病的狗、日常治疗，还有需要修理的车。)”可知，作者一边治病一边工作，还要处理各种家庭琐事，日程非常繁忙。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Pick a subject: sick mom, out-of-control adult child, sick dog, daily treatments, and my car that needs work. Everything is dreadful! I’m so tired.(随便说一件事：生病的母亲、失控的成年孩子、生病的狗、日常治疗，还有需要修理的车。一切都很dreadful！我太累了。)”可知，作者列举的全是糟糕、令人烦恼的事，因此dreadful意为“糟糕的、可怕的”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段中的“Those wise words have become a golden rule for me, and I am forever grateful. When I feel like life stuff just keeps piling on — whether it’s good, bad or just feels like too much to handle — I recite those perspective-changing words.(那些睿智的话成了我的黄金准则，我永远心存感激。每当我觉得生活琐事不断堆积——无论是好事、坏事，还是多到难以承受——我都会默念这些改变心态的话。)”可知，Joyce的话给了作者突如其来的启发，让她学会调整心态面对压力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My inbox is full. I don’t know what an empty inbox looks like. And I don’t want to know.(我的收件箱是满的。我不知道空的收件箱是什么样子。我也不想知道。)”可知，作者坦然接受生活中充满各种事情的状态，体现出她对当下生活的满足与接纳。故选C项。 C How dark is the night sky where you live? If you’re in an urban area, the answer will likely be “not dark at all”. The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. In 2016, a group of scientists found that 83% of the world’s population and more than 99% of people in the US and Europe live under light-polluted skies. In 2023, some of the same scientists showed that the average night sky is getting brighter by 9.6% per year. This is equal to the sky brightness increasing by over four times for the duration of a childhood (18 years). And while it’s true that almost all light pollution is generated in urban areas, its effects extend beyond the streets. In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor. The high efficiency and low cost of LEDs make them increasingly common on our urban roads for our safety. But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about. Too much light at night is bad for everyone. In fact, most of the light polluting our night sky has nothing to do with safety on our roads and streets. It’s mostly about advertising and poorly mounted (安装) floodlights, and to a much, much lesser extent, people not closing their curtains. But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky. Many communities have already launched“dark sky” initiatives to minimize light pollution and promote better lighting practices. Simple measures, like turning off unnecessary lights at night, can make a significant difference. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The changes of sleep duration. B. The various sources of light pollution. C. The lack of livable urban areas. D. The widespread use of artificial light. 9. Why does the author mention LED streetlamps in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To criticize them for pollution. C. To explain their effect on health. D. To promote them in urban areas. 10. What is the good news according to the author? A. Communities fix fewer lights. B. Light pollution can be reduced. C. People avoid lighting at night. D. There are energy-efficient lights. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Night Sky B. Turn Off the Lights C. Future of Dark Nights D. Harm of Light Pollution 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍人造光泛滥造成光污染的严峻现状、污染成因，同时给出有效解决办法，呼吁人们守护暗夜天空。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise. (人造光不断蔓延，无论是路灯、广告牌、电子屏幕还是泛光灯，都让城市在人们入睡后依旧明亮，且这种趋势还在上升。)”可知，第一段主要描述了人造光被广泛使用的现象。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In discussions around light pollution, the switch to LED streetlamps is often mentioned as a contributing factor.(在有关光污染的讨论中，改用LED路灯常被认为是诱因。)”以及“But if it’s pollution that we’re interested in, then it’s not these streetlamps that we should be talking about.( 但如果我们关注的是污染问题，那我们要讨论的就不该是这些路灯。)”可知，作者提及LED路灯是为了澄清人们的误解。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But there is good news. By using lights only when necessary, fixing downward-facing lights, and choosing energy-efficient lighting options, we can significantly reduce the amount of light that pollutes the night sky.(但有一个好消息，通过按需照明、安装向下照射的灯具以及选用节能照明设备，我们可以大幅减少夜空的光污染。)”可知，好消息是光污染能够通过人为方式得到减轻。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“The spread of artificial light — be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, screens or floodlights — keeps our cities bright long after most people have gone to bed. And it’s on the rise.(人造光不断蔓延，无论是路灯、广告牌、电子屏幕还是泛光灯，都让城市在人们入睡后依旧明亮，且这种趋势还在上升。)”以及中间段落介绍污染现状与成因，最后给出减排措施、倡导守护暗夜可知，文章围绕光污染现状、危害、成因及治理办法展开，核心是呼吁守护暗夜天空，所以“Save the Night Sky(拯救夜空)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 12. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 13. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 4? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 14. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 15. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨的是时间的本质，区分了“钟表时间”与“生活时间”的概念，并呼吁人们摆脱对钟表时间的盲目服从。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. (心理学家发现了“时间饥荒”的兴起：我们越是试图高效和富有成效，越是精确地测量时间，越是试图把更多事情塞进繁忙的日程，我们实际感受到的时间就越少。)”可知，一位经理精确规划每一分钟却总是感到落后，最能体现“时间饥荒”——越是精确管理时间，越感到时间不够用。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。第四段“Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. (时间在其他方面也很令人困惑。我们没有感知时间的感官器官，也没有专门追踪时间的大脑区域。我们对时间的体验可能差异巨大：无聊时分钟拖沓；兴奋时小时飞逝。在某些情况下，我们的时间感甚至会循环、破碎或完全停止。)”以及随后以Lara为例说明运动盲症患者的异常时间感知可知，本段主要分析时间感知这一现象的多种表现，最后作者指出“Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time.(这些影响不仅仅是错误，而是反映了更深层次的东西：我们在创造自己的时间中所扮演的角色。)”，由此可推出，作者通过举例推翻了大众原本认为“时间客观恒定”的固有看法，重塑了人们对时间本质的认知。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. (生活时间与钟表时间不同，因为它不是由将时刻切割成秒的数字计数器定义的。它是一个创造性的过程，不仅对我们的时间感至关重要，对我们是谁也至关重要。)”可知，生活时间是通过体验展开而非计算定义的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. (要应对时间饥荒，提醒自己钟表是工具，不是主人。与钟表时间相反，生活时间随着我们越专注于当下而越扩展、越丰富。)”可知，作者认为时间需要的是投入和参与，而非盲目服从。 第二节（共12.5小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 The downside of creating good habits Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. ____16____ When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. In this way, habits are the backbone of any pursuit of excellence. However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. ____17____ You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better. The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. ____18____ In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. In fact, some research has shown that once a skill has been mastered there is usually a slight decline in performance over time. ____19____ To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work. Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. ____20____ A. It’s an endless cycle. B. This is true for any attempt. C. Next, you will get more positive feedback. D. Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. E. With habits like these, good enough is usually good enough. F. You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. G. But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了习惯对追求卓越的双刃剑效应：习惯虽为精通奠定基础，但若陷入无意识的重复，则可能导致进步停滞甚至倒退，唯有将自动化习惯与刻意练习结合，才能不断突破。 【16题详解】 上文“Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. (习惯为精通奠定基础。在国际象棋中，只有当棋子的基本走法变得自动时，棋手才能专注于比赛的下一阶段。每一个被记住的信息单元都为更费力的思考打开了心智空间)”通过国际象棋的类比阐述了习惯如何释放认知资源以追求更高层次。B选项“This is true for any attempt. (这对于任何尝试都是如此)”承接上文，指出上文所阐述的习惯释放认知资源的原理具有普遍适用性。下文“When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. (当你对简单动作了如指掌，可以不假思索地完成时，你就能自由地关注更高级的细节)”则进一步具体描述这一状态。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. (起初，每一次重复都能提升流畅度、速度和技巧)”描述了习惯养成的积极初期阶段。G选项“But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. (但随后，随着习惯变得自动，你对反馈的敏感度会降低)”通过“But then”与上文构成时间与逻辑上的转折，指出习惯自动化后的转变。下文“You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better. (你会陷入无意识的重复。更容易放任错误。当你能靠自动导航做得足够好时，你就会停止思考如何做得更好)”则具体描述了“对反馈敏感度降低”所导致的一系列消极后果。故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. (习惯的好处是我们可以不假思索地做事。习惯的坏处是你习惯于某种方式做事，不再关注小错误)”总结了习惯的双刃剑特性。F选项“You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. (你因为获得了经验，就以为自己正在变得更好)”承接上文，解释了为何人们会忽视错误、停止改进——因为他们错误地将经验的积累等同于能力的提升。下文“In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. (实际上，你只是在强化当前的习惯——而非改进它们)”则用“In reality”对上文的错误认知进行纠正，形成“错误认知—现实真相”的逻辑呼应。故选F项。 【19题详解】 下文“To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work. (要达到顶级表现，你需要精进的方法。你不能盲目重复相同的事情却期望变得卓越。你需要的是自动化习惯与刻意练习的结合。当一个习惯被掌握后，你必须回到需要付出努力的部分)”提出了超越习惯瓶颈、追求卓越的具体方法——习惯与刻意练习相结合。D选项“Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. (习惯是必要的，但对于精通而言并不足够)”作为本段首句，精准概括了下文的核心观点：习惯是基础但非全部，从而引出下文对“刻意练习”这一补充要素的阐述。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. (旧任务第二次做会更容易，但整体上并不会变得更容易，因为现在你把精力投入到下一个挑战中。每个习惯都解锁了下一层级的性能)”描述了通过习惯释放认知资源、不断挑战新高度的动态过程。A选项“It’s an endless cycle. (这是一个无尽的循环)”承接上文，用“endless cycle”精准概括了上文所描述的“掌握旧习惯—释放资源—迎接新挑战”这一周而复始的进步模式，作为全文结尾，既总结了本段观点，也呼应了文章开篇对习惯与卓越关系的探讨。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston.

The air smelled of coffee and sweat, the overhead lights casting weak shadows on everyone’s anxious faces. I sat rigidly by the window, fingers twisting my bag belt anxiously — this was the last train of the night, and I feared missing my connection back to my hometown. With a two-hour drive from home, no one could pick me up, and the thought of being trapped in a strange station in the dark made a knot (结) of worry tighten in my stomach. A middle-aged woman with soft eyes and a gentle smile sat beside me when a seat freed up. She was carrying a small bag, and her hair was tied neatly in a ponytail (马尾辫), giving her a warm and approachable look. We talked about the delay, and I spilled out my panic about the connecting train, my voice tight with anxiety. She listened patiently, nodding in understanding, then chatted softly about her London trip. She had gone to visit her daughter and brought back a box of homemade cookies, which she offered me. Slowly, her warm tone eased my tension. Her genuine kindness made the awkwardness of talking to a stranger melt away, and our small talk flowed naturally. We checked the timetable and saw the worst. I’d miss the connecting train by just two minutes. Despair washed over me as I resigned myself to finding a hotel. When the train pulled into my transfer station, I took my bag and got off — until she hurried over, grabbed my arm and stopped me. “Come stay at my house tonight,” she said, “It’s better than looking for a hotel alone”. I froze, totally unprepared for this act of kindness from a stranger. A moment of hesitation crossed my mind, but looking into her sincere eyes, I knew this was probably the best choice I had at that moment. 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。 I nodded gratefully and followed the kind lady off the train. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the lady drove me to the train station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I nodded gratefully and followed the kind lady off the train. She led me to her car, chatting gently to ease my remaining unease. Her house was small but cozy, with warm lights and the faint smell of cookies. She prepared a clean guest room for me and brought me a cup of hot milk, telling me not to worry about the next day’s train. I sat by the window, watching her busy figure, and felt the knot of worry in my stomach completely disappear. That night, I slept soundly, knowing I was in a safe and kind place. The next morning, the lady drove me to the train station. She handed me a box of homemade cookies, the same kind she’d offered me on the train, and wished me a safe trip home. I thanked her repeatedly, struggling to put my gratitude into words. As the train pulled away, I waved at her, watching her figure grow smaller. To this day, I still remember her kindness — a stranger’s warmth that turned a desperate night into a precious memory, teaching me that kindness can always light up the darkest moments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者乘末班火车返乡，因临时晚点担心赶不上换乘，内心焦虑不已。身旁一位温和陌生女士耐心安慰作者，还分享点心。得知作者错过换乘后，她主动邀请其去她家留宿，让作者倍感温暖与意外。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者随好心女士前往她家，她悉心安顿照料作者，作者的焦虑尽数消散，安心入眠。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：次日女士送作者到站并赠饼干，作者满心感激，铭记陌生人善意带来的温暖与感悟。 2.续写线索：前往好心女士家——女士安顿照料作者——作者安心入眠——次日女士送作者到站——作者满心感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①带领：lead/guide ②减轻：ease/relieve/alleviate 情绪类 ①忧虑：worry/anxiety/concern ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]She led me to her car, chatting gently to ease my remaining unease. （运用了现在分词chatting作状语） [高分句型2]She handed me a box of homemade cookies, the same kind she’d offered me on the train, and wished me a safe trip home. （运用了省略which或that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
