W: Dear, you said you have a meeting to attend at 9:00. Hurry up. Now you only get half an hour before it starts. M: Oh, I forgot that. I’m so dead. Text 2 M: It’s so nice today. It’s a good time to go out and get relaxed. W: Yes, I will go to the amusement park. What about you? M: My wife wants to go to the beach, but I have to go to the company to write a report. Text 3 M: You arrived at school early today! Did your dad bring you by car? W: No. And I didn’t take a bus, either. Everything on the underground went smoothly! I was lucky. Text 4 W: It’s so annoying. I keep losing my files. Do you know what the problem is? M: Let me have a look. There’s a lot of stuff here. Why don’t you save the files onto a memory stick? W: That’s a good idea. Text 5 W: Why did Tom quit the job? M: He said his present job had no future. W: If he does not change his attitude towards his work, I don’t think a new job can make any difference. Text 6 M: Mary, where is your mother? W: She is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. What are our plans for today? M: How about going on a boat tour? I think your mother will also like this idea. W: Yes! I don’t mind that the weather is a bit cloudy. M: Uncle Pablo works in a tour company and he’s telling tourists about the history of the town when they’re on the boat today! W: I’d love to listen to him! M: Me, too. I’ll book our tickets online. Text 7 W: Tom, I’ve got a computer game called Green Space. M: Where did you find out about it? W: I borrowed a magazine from a friend and there was an ad for it. I asked my mum and she bought it for me from their website. M: I really like that game. Who are you going to play it with? W: Well, my brother’s too busy, and my cousin Amy only likes board games. Only my granddad has lots of time, so I want to play with him. M: Which part do you like best? W: Crossing the river is really good, but what I enjoy most is finding something to eat. The part about building a house is my least favourite. Text 8 W: Hi, Bill. When did you get back? M: About an hour ago. What’s new? Did anyone call? W: Yeah, someone called Dave made a phone call this afternoon. He’s at the Holiday Inn Hotel. You can get in touch with him there. M: Oh, that’s my old friend from college, Dave Johnson. I knew he was coming to town. I didn’t expect him today, though. W: Should we ask him to our party tonight? M: I’d like to. But we’ve already invited twenty people and the apartment is pretty small. W: Don’t worry. We can always make room for one more. The more, the happier, you know. M: That’s true. And the other guests will like Dave. He’s very friendly, and he always has funny stories and jokes to tell. W: Be sure to tell him not to dress up. It’s not formal, you know. M: Okay. I’ll go to pick Dave up. He doesn’t know this town well. He might lose his way coming alone. W: Okay. Text 9 W: Professor Smith. M: Hi, Justine. How are you? You don’t look very happy. W: I’m OK, but I’m doing badly in your class. I wonder how to do better. M: I think coming prepared to class may do something to improve your grades. W: How can I prepare for class? M: Have you checked out my web page? All my lecture notes are on my web page. You can read them first. W: Really? Wow. That would be very helpful. M: Another good idea is to read the book before class. W: I usually don’t do that. I thought hearing the lecture first would be better than reading first. M: Reading first is actually better. You should also write down ideas or notes while you’re reading. That way you can come to class with some questions. W: Yeah. Thank you very much, Professor Smith. I feel much better now. Text 10 W: Good morning, everyone. Today we need to choose a new director for the marketing department. There are two candidates for this position: Amy Coleman, and Sam Stewart. First, let’s explore Amy’s qualifications for this position. On the positive side, she has excellent communication skills and is experienced in running a marketing team. Additionally, she is really popular among the other employees. On the other side, Amy is not receptive to new information or viewpoints and she’s not creative enough. Now, let’s turn to Sam. In the first place, Sam doesn’t have much experience or good communication abilities, compared to Amy. But he seems to have much potential despite his lack of experience. He is very creative and I can see that while working with him in the same team. He even attends a class on Sunday these days to learn some marketing skills. I know it’s hard to find the ideal person to handle this job on a short meeting. We’ll meet here again on next Friday at 9:00. We must have a clear decision before Sunday. 【答案解析】 A篇主题语境：人与社会——科技发展与创新、社会服务 【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文（招募通知）。文章主要讲的是科技公司TechForward为收集新款智能语音助手的使用反馈，面向特定城市居民招募15名志愿者参与为期四周的免费产品试用活动，并介绍了报名要求、时间安排和参与回报等信息。 第21题.C 主旨大意题。解析：文章开篇指出TechForward公司正在寻找当地居民测试其新款智能家居助手，随后详细说明了参与条件、时间线、报酬和报名方式。全文始终围绕“招募产品试用者”这一核心意图展开，故选C。 第22题.C 细节理解题。解析：根据文中“Program Timeline”部分明确标注的“June 1-28 Device testing period”可知，设备测试期从6月1日持续至6月28日，共计28天。故选C。 第23题.A 推理判断题。解析：题干要求选出“最适合该计划的人选”。根据“Application Requirements”段落内容，申请者需同时满足以下条件：①居住在本市区内；②年满18周岁；③具备智能设备使用经验（原文为“previous experience with smart devices is a must”）。选项A中的Samantha为本地大学IT专业毕业生，满足年龄、居住地和经验要求。故选A。 B篇主题语境：人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通、代际互动 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了慈善机构Kissing it Better通过唤起老人回忆的互动方式（如翻花绳、旧物件展示等）促进代际交流，从而缓解老年人孤独感的故事。 第24题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第二段描述，Jeanette Hodes不耐烦听唱歌，却被旁边推车上的“cat’s cradle（翻花绳）”吸引，拿到绳子后她立刻被带回了童年操场，开始回忆往事。题干问什么让她重返青春，正是玩翻花绳(Playing with a cat’s cradle)这一行为触发了她的回忆。故选D。 第25题.A 推理判断。解析：第三段指出Fraser推着装满旧物的小车在房间走动，目的是通过展示旧书刊等物品激发老人回忆，因为“回忆被认为是开启与老人之间必要对话的有力工具”。即她通过旧物提供话题，促进互动交流。故选A。 第26题.C 观点态度。解析：Anna Giannotti说老人起初犹豫，但一旦参与就会展现完整的自我，并感慨“这让我感到谦卑，未来我们也可能成为他们”。这些话流露出她对老人处境的感同身受与理解，故态度是“共情/同理的”。故选C。 第27题.B 主旨要义。解析：Kissing it Better的核心工作方法在文中体现为用旧物件唤起记忆、以回忆作为桥梁连接代际、促进对话。翻花绳、旧书刊、回忆往事等均围绕“记忆”展开，故“Memory as a bridge（以记忆为桥）”最贴合。故选B。 C篇主题语境：人与社会——教育方式/戏剧教学法 【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是一项研究发现，通过戏剧表演的方式学习莎士比亚作品，能够有效提升儿童的词汇量、写作质量和情感理解能力。 第28题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中“only if they can act him out”以及第二段“a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare”可知，研究鼓励儿童通过表演莎士比亚作品来学习。选项A“表演莎士比亚作品”符合文意。故选A。 第29题.A 段落主旨。解析：第三段描述了研究的具体操作方法：随机试验、参与学生数量与年龄、分组情况（目标组与控制组）、阅读内容、写作任务以及目标组参与的戏剧活动。这属于研究的过程或步骤，即“procedure”。故选A。 第30题.B 细节理解。解析：最后一段中O’Hanlon明确表示“she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing”，并指出孩子们展现出更深的共情能力和更生动的情感表达。因此，最令她印象深刻的是“情感深度”。故选B。 第31题.B 推理判断。解析：全文强调通过“drama-based approach”“acting out”“using their whole bodies”等方式学习莎士比亚，即通过实践、亲身参与来获得更好的学习效果。这与“Learning by doing works best”（做中学效果最佳）的寓意一致。故选B。 D篇主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过神经科学的研究成果，探讨了高强度、短期的专注投入（“爆发式努力”）相较于持续性低强度努力，更能促进大脑发生实质性改变，从而实现真正的个人成长与突破。 第32题. D 推理判断。解析：第一段描述了一个场景：周日晚上回顾一周，各项计划都有小幅度推进，但整体上“没有真正取得实质性进展(without truly moving the needle on any)”，之后提出疑问：为什么都按专家说的做了，重大改变却依然难以实现？这表明作者意在引出“持续但温和的努力未必带来真正的突破”这一观点。故选D。 第33题. B 词义猜测。解析：第四段首句提到“Our brains are highly malleable”，紧接着用冒号解释“they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.”（大脑会变化，有时是剧烈变化，以反映新技能和知识的获得）。这说明大脑具有可塑性和适应性。Adaptable（适应性强的）与“易于改变以应对新情况”含义最为接近。故选B。 第34题. C 细节理解。解析：根据第五段最后一句“The prefrontal cortex... tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in ‘flow states,’ where the boundaries between self and task dissolve.”（前额叶皮层趋于平静，类似“心流状态”，自我与任务之间的界限消失），即“与任务融为一体(feel at one with the task)”。故选C。 第35题. A 主旨大意（标题选择）。解析：文章开篇否定了单纯依靠小习惯累积的效果，随后通过神经科学实验（伦敦出租车司机海马体变化、短暂性前额叶功能低下）论证高强度、痴迷式的“爆发期”对大脑重塑和实现真正转变的关键作用。全文核心对比了“温和坚持”与“高强度专注”的效果，强调后者是变革的催化剂。A项“为何高强度专注胜过稳定习惯”准确概括了这一主旨。故选A。 七选五主题语境：人与自我——个人成长与爱好发展 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从11岁接触滑板开始，凭借热爱坚持这项运动，并将其发展为事业，最终传承给下一代的故事。 第36题.E 上下文逻辑衔接（转折关系）。 解析：前文描述滑板轮子差、震动噪音大，但后文提到“热情不在于装备好坏，而在于感受”，中间需要一个转折句来突出“自由感”的重要性。E项“然而，当我感受到骑行的自由时，这些都无关紧要”恰好承接前文的不佳体验，引出后文对热情的感悟。故选E。 第37题.F 细节描述与主题一致性。 解析：前文提到社区孩子们一起滑板，后文说“共享自由的感觉是变革性的”，F项“我们建造滑板道，花数小时骑车下车道”具体描述了共同滑板的场景，为后文的“共享自由”提供依据。故选F。 第38题.G 时间顺序与场景转换。 解析：前文讲述童年和少年时期的滑板经历，后文提到朋友建议去大学隧道、探索停车场等。G项“1983年，我的滑板陪伴我去了多伦多的大学”点明时间（1983年）和地点（大学），自然引出后文关于大学隧道的尝试，符合叙事逻辑。故选G。 第39题.C 因果或递进关系。 解析：前文说创建了名为SkateGeezer的网站，后文说“从那里我最终在滑板杂志建立了出版事业”。C项“它激励我写一本书《混凝土波浪》”中的“它”指代创建网站这一行为，写书是中间步骤，进而促成出版事业，形成递进关系。故选C。 第40题.B 总结与主题呼应。 解析：前文说“我知道有些旅程，当你坚持时，不会结束”，B项“它们只是找到新的、美丽的路径向前”与“不会结束”形成顺承，点明热爱会以新方式延续（如传给下一代），总结全文主旨。故选B。 完形填空主题语境：人与自然——环境保护 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是新西兰的徒步小屋网络因规模庞大、位置偏远，政府难以维护，普通民众如Suzie Bell等人发起志愿者活动，通过劳动保护这些文化遗产，体现环保理念。 第41题.D 动词辨析。解析：A.present呈现；B.evaluate评估；C.arrange安排；D.maintain维护。前文说小屋网络能让疲惫的徒步者休息，后文说ordinary people are stepping in（普通人正在介入），说明政府无法承担这项任务。规模太大，政府无力“维护”，只能由普通人来帮忙。故选D。 第42题.B 形容词辨析。解析：A.inspired受启发的；B.amazed大为惊奇的；C.shocked震惊的（多指不愉快的事）；D.confused困惑的。后文她说I was just blown away（我被震撼到了），说明第一眼看到小屋时是惊喜、赞叹的心情。amazed与blown away语义一致，表示赞叹。故选B。 第43题.C 动词短语辨析。解析：A.took over接管；B.picked out挑选；C.came across偶然发现；D.searched for寻找。in the middle of nowhere（在荒郊野外）暗示这个地方很偏僻，不是刻意去找，而是徒步时意外遇到的。came across表示偶然遇见，符合语境。故选C。 第44题.A 动词辨析。解析：A.stayed停留、暂住；B.waited等待；C.survived幸存；D.exercised锻炼。in it指在小屋里，for next to nothing（几乎不花钱）说明她是住在小屋里。stay in it表示在小屋里住宿，符合徒步者使用小屋休息的语境。故选A。 第45题.C 形容词辨析。解析：A.admirable令人钦佩的；B.suitable合适的；C.accessible可到达的；D.comfortable舒适的。only on foot（只能步行到达）说明这些小屋的交通方式有限，是在描述小屋的可达方式。accessible only on foot意为只能步行到达。故选C。 第46题.C 介词短语辨析。解析：A.in vain徒劳地；B.in advance提前；C.for free免费地；D.for good永久地。后文提到小屋是文化遗产，且人们自发维护，说明使用这些小屋不需要付费。for free与后文next to nothing相呼应。故选C。 第47题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.started发起、创办；B.joined加入；C.accepted接受；D.reported报道。后文说The...was started by an outdoor recreation advocacy group in 2024（这项活动是由一个户外休闲倡导组织在2024年发起的），说明Love Our Huts活动不是Bell发起的，而是她加入了这个已有的活动。故选B。 第48题.A 名词辨析。解析：A.initiative倡议、活动；B.assignment任务、作业；C.experiment实验；D.discussion讨论。这里指代前文的Love Our Huts campaign（爱护我们的小屋运动），这是一个由倡导组织发起的志愿倡议活动。initiative可指有组织的倡议或行动。故选A。 第49题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.miss想念；B.value珍视；C.clean清洁；D.decorate装饰。后文They’re part of our cultural heritage（它们是我们文化遗产的一部分）解释了原因，既然是文化遗产，自然是珍视、看重这些小屋。value符合语义。故选B。 第50题.C 形容词辨析。解析：A.practical实际的；B.unnecessary不必要的；C.demanding费力的、要求高的；D.impossible不可能的。due to its size and remoteness（由于规模大和位置偏远）说明维护工作十分艰巨费力。demanding表示需要大量时间精力，符合语境。impossible过于绝对，与后文志愿者正在做这件事矛盾。故选C。 第51题.D 动词辨析。解析：A.train乘火车；B.drive开车；C.camp露营；D.hike徒步。前文提到小屋大多only on foot，且后文into the hills（进山）说明是步行进山。hike for five hours意为徒步五小时，符合语境。故选D。 第52题.A 名词辨析。解析：A.labour劳动；B.knowledge知识；C.opportunity机会；D.patience耐心。前文提到wipe down beds, clean windows and pull out weeds（擦床铺、擦窗户、拔杂草），这些都是体力劳动。offer their labour意为付出劳动。故选A。 第53题.D 名词辨析。解析：A.locals当地人；B.neighbours邻居；C.tourists游客；D.volunteers志愿者。前文提到more than 300 people have signed up for it（三百多人报名参加），这些都是自愿报名参与的人，即志愿者。后文描述的正是一个志愿维护小屋的行动。故选D。 第54题.A 动词辨析。解析：A.reflects反映、体现；B.ignores忽视；C.tests考验；D.contradicts与……矛盾。What they do指志愿者维护小屋的行为，后文是毛利文化中的kaitiakitanga（守护）概念，志愿者的行为正是这种理念的体现。reflects表示反映出某种理念或价值。故选A。 第55题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.change改变；B.protect保护；C.design设计；D.monitor监测。kaitiakitanga的定义是caretakers of the environment（环境的守护者），作为守护者，职责是保护环境，为子孙后代守护好它。protect与caretakers语义一致。故选B。 语法填空主题语境：人与社会——传统文化与艺术传承 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在西安观看《东仓鼓乐》表演的经历，展现了这一源自唐代宫廷的古老鼓乐艺术如何在民间代代相传。 第56题.struck 谓语动词时态。解析：全文叙述过去发生的事，需用一般过去时；strike的过去式是struck，意为“敲击”，在句中充当谓语。 第57题.immediately 形容词转换为副词。解析：修饰动词caught，应用副词形式，immediate变为immediately，表示“立刻；马上”。 第58题.remarkable 名词转换为形容词。解析：修饰名词story，需用形容词，remark的名词形式加-able构成remarkable，意为“非凡的；引人注目的”。 第59题.was introduced 一般过去时的被动语态。解析：history与introduce之间为被动关系，意为“历史被介绍”，且主句使用过去时，从句也应用一般过去时，故填was introduced。 第60题.combined 非谓语动词（过去分词作定语）。解析：句子的主干是The steady rhythm created...，combine with...作后置定语修饰rhythm，且rhythm与combine为被动关系，故用过去分词combined。 第61题.with 介词。解析：carry...with them表示“随身携带……”，with意为“和……一起”。 第62题.What 主语从句连接词。解析：______ had once belonged to the court在整个句子中作主语，从句中缺少指物的主语，用What引导主语从句，意为“曾经属于宫廷的东西”。 第63题.to be shared 不定式的被动式。解析：be meant to do为固定结构，意为“旨在；注定要”。此处主语music为动作share的承受者，需用不定式的被动形式to be shared，表示“音乐是注定要被分享的”。 第64题.applause 动词转换为名词。解析：形容词enthusiastic后需接名词作宾语，applaud的名词形式为applause，意为“掌声；喝彩”。 第65题.an 冠词。解析：此处experience意为“一次经历”，是可数名词单数，且以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an。 第四部分习作： Art Lifts Spirits Art is of great benefit to our mental health. When we feel stressed or anxious, art forms like painting, music and dance help us relax our minds and relieve pressure. They provide a perfect way to express our inner feelings and achieve emotional balance. Furthermore, art enriches our life, inspires us positively and builds up our confidence. It helps us stay optimistic and develop a healthy state of mind. Therefore, I appeal to every student to develop an art hobby. Let’s embrace art, care for our mental well-being and live a more meaningful life. 续写： 一、基础版（稳妥不丢分） It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. She was surprised to see her father fall off the bike. Mark felt very embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. Alice came up to help him stand up. She told him gently that it was OK not to be good at everything. Mark told her his secret and felt relaxed at once. Alice promised to keep it and encouraged him. That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. He prepared snacks and drinks for the kids. He took lots of photos of them riding around the lake. He cheered for them loudly and enjoyed the warm time together. He finally realized that being honest and staying with family was the most important thing. 二、高级版（高分 / 满分，符合新课标语言要求） It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. Shocked at the sight of her father struggling and falling off the bike again, Mark froze, his face flaming with shame. Expecting laughter or disappointment, he was totally moved when Alice stepped forward to steady him and whispered that perfection was never necessary. Touched by her kindness, Mark poured out his childhood secret and the heavy weight on his heart was gone. That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. Instead of feeling ashamed, he busied himself preparing tasty food and taking vivid pictures of Alice and Bob. Whenever they rushed past, he clapped and cheered them on. In that peaceful moment, he truly understood that love and acceptance mattered far more than any skill—and it was the warmest family adventure he had ever had. $2026届高三压轴预测卷 英语学科 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。 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。每段录音读两追。 1.What time is it now?

But it's not for everyone.Jeanette Hodes,92,offers an impatient"come on,get on with it," and leans back in her chair.On a nearby trolley a cat's cradle (has caught her eye.The string is quickly brought over to her.Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth,offering cheerfully-recalled anecdotes from when she learnt double dutch with friends as her mother could not afford to buy her a Sindy doll. Looking on fondly is Jill Fraser,68,the founder of Kissing it Better(KiB),a charity working to reduce isolation in the elderly through intergenerational friendships.Fraser is making her way around the room with a trolley of assorted old treasures.A faded Beatrix Potter hardback,Jackie magazine and biography of Lord Mountbatten are piled on top of one another.Fraser's team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection is thought to be a powerful tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly. Anna Giannotti,63,an art psychotherapist who is paid for a few hours a week by KiB,says, "Sometimes the elderly are hesitant to get involved,but often when they do get involved,they just become their complete selves.I feel very humbled.It could be any of us in the future." The youngest volunteer of the day,Mariella Hafalla,16,finds the frankness of the older generation refreshing."I really enjoyed the session where we talked about what the residents did when they were younger,"she says."I found out how people used to go outside all of the time but now we are all online so it has helped me realize the importance of going outside." 24.What brings Jeanette Hodes back to her youth? A.Buying a Sindy doll. B.Learning double dutch. C.Listening to Ted's songs. D.Playing with a cat's cradle. 25.Why does Fraser go around the room with the trolley? A.To offer topics that may encourage interaction. B.To check whether the elderly can recall the past. C.To collect personal belongings from the residents.

C.Empathetic D.Protective. 27.Which phrase most closely reflects KiB's approach? A.Activity over talk. B.Memory as a bridge C.Service with a smile. D.Care through exercise. C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children's literacy and emotional development,but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children's vocabulary,improved the quality of their writing,and enhanced their emotional understanding. "The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,"said Jacqui O'Hanlon,lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils(aged nine and ten)at 45 state primary schools.The children were divided into a target group and a control group.Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet.Before writing,the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity,while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary,used more complicated or rarer words,and wrote at greater length.They also appeared more comfortable writing in role.While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one,children in the target group put themselves in Romeo's shoes and expressed that character's emotion. O'Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children's writing,and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly."It is probably related to the drama-based process,where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,"she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists?O'Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare's use of 20.000 words,compared with the everyday 2,000 words,gave a massive expansion of language into children's lives,which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28.What does the study encourage children to do? A.Perform Shakespeare's works. B.Write their own original plays C.Leam Shakespeare's lines by heart D.Watch professional acting on stage. 29.Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.Its procedure. B.Its background. C.Its purpose. D.Its significance. 30.What impressed O'Hanlon most about the target group's writing? A.Passage fluency. B.Emotional depth. C.Word complexity. D.Plot imagination. 31.What can be learned from the text? A.Practice makes perfect. B.Leaming by doing works best. C.Reading makes a full man. D.Words are the voice of the mind. 压轴卷（一）共6页 D It's Sunday evening,and you're reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any.You worked out twice,read 20 pages of that business book,spent quality time with family,and kept up with your meditation practice.You're doing everything right according to the productivity experts.So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small,consistent changes that compound over time.Consistency has its place.But there's another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss:the catalytic (power of intense productivity bursts.It's this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and wam against the dangers of going too hard.But neuroscience reveals something fascinating:Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable;they change,sometimes in dramatic ways,to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets.When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period,they discovered something remarkable:The posterior hippocampus,crucial for spatial navigation,physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience:Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can't reach.At the level of the brain, intense leaming looks very different than the slow,consistent gains we're more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus,our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality.The prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层)，largely responsible for self-monitoring,tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in "flow states,"where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode.We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance.Maybe it's time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are:the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 32.What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A.Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B.Constant failures may cause frustration. C.Multitasking cannot enhance productivity. D.Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 33.What does the underlined word "malleable"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Repairable.B.Adaptable. C.Delicate. D.Analytical. 34.What happens during"transient hypofrontality"? A.You let down your guard. B.You exercise more self-regulation. C.You feel at one with the task. D.You experience a state of confusion. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits B.The Key to Transformation:Consistency C.How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth D.Maintenance Mode:A Common Productivity Trap 3 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 My journey with skateboarding began in 1975,and I was immediately hooked ()For my 11th birthday,my father bought me my first board.It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise.36This early experience taught me that passion isn't about having the best equipment,but about the feeling it gives you. Soon enough,I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder.a popular magazine back then,and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together.37 The sense of shared freedom was transformative.especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports. 38 At one point,a friend who was a student at York,north of the city,suggested we try the tunnels at the university.Yet,we found them closed,which only pushed me to explore other places-empty parking lots,quiet office parks,and smooth pathways.The joy I got from these experiences never left me. As I grew older,my relationship with skateboarding matured.I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s,70s and 80s.39 From there,I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines. Now,with a family of my own,that passion rides on.I introduced all my children to skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk.The full-circle moment of seeing my sons surpass my own ability is a pride unlike any other.I know some journeys,when you stick with them,don't end.40 A.I realized I needed much better equipment. B.They just find new,beautiful paths forward. C.It inspired me to write a book,The Concrete Wave. D.That was when I decided to quit and try other sports. E.Yet,none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride. F.We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways. G.In 1983,my skateboard accompanied me to university in Toronto. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 压轴卷（一）共6页 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： From popular tracks to remote valleys,weary hikers can always find a hut (to rest in New Zealand's countryside.But the hut network is too vast for the government to 41,So ordinary people are stepping in.

Then,he grew up and had a family of his own.He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife,Lena.Most of the time,it didn't matter.When friends invited him on bike trips,he volunteered to drive and bring snacks.When the kids were old enough to leamn to ride,Lena offered to teach them.

Admitting he couldn't ride?That was hard. So he made a plan.After the kids went to bed,he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise.But thirty years after that summer,his body still remembered nothing.The bike seemed to have a mind of its own,and he just couldn't control it.His legs shook. His hands ached.Sometimes he would crash into the wall. The next day,Alice,a considerate girl,asked about his bruised knees.But he said nothing.After several nights,Lena said to him,"You don't have to do this.The kids don't care. No one can do everything."Mark shook his head.""They think I can.Let me try a little longer." One night,after he fell off the bike again,he heard a voice."Dad?"His heart stopped. 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。 It was Alice,who had followed him out of curiosity That Saturday,when his family went biking,Mark stayed at the campsite happily. 压轴卷（一）共6页 6—考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Why did you set the alarm so early?

Additionally, he is really popular among the other employees. On the other side, amy is not receptive to new information or viewpoints, and she's not creative enough. Now let's turn to sam in the first place. Sam doesn't have much experience or good communication abilities compared to amy, but he seems to have much potential despite his lack of experience. He is very creative, and I could see that while working with him in the same team. He even attends a class on sunday these days to learn some marketing skills. I know it's hard to find the ideal person to handle this job on a short meeting. We'll meet here again on next friday at nine o'clock. We must have a clear decision before sunday.
