D 【解析】 【导语】HYROX是全球健身赛事，赛程为八组一公里跑步搭配八项健身动作。文中介绍四座城市赛事特色、报名规则，参赛需遵守相关统一参赛要求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据HYROX Stockholm, Sweden部分“It attracts top-class athletes from more than 40 countries and includes the most strict and challenging tasks that test both speed and strength.(它吸引了来自40多个国家的顶尖运动员，并设置了最为严格且极具挑战性的项目，这些项目既要考验速度，也要考验力量)”可知，斯德哥尔摩站的比赛任务比其他赛事要求更高、更苛刻。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据HYROX Tokyo, Japan部分“As the main HYROX event in the Asia-Pacific area, it is well-organized and friendly to first-time competitors.(作为亚太地区的主要“HYROX”赛事，它组织得十分有序，而且对初次参赛者也非常友好)”可知，东京站的比赛最适合HYROX的初学者。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据HYROX New York, USA部分“Places are limited and fill up quickly.(名额有限，且很快就会报满)”可知，想要参加纽约站比赛的选手必须尽早行动（报名）以确保抢到参赛名额。 B From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived. So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again. “We couldn’t imagine how the fire would even reach us,” Colleen recalled. But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. There they were, pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction. After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas, and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions. For the Warneskys, safety comes first. Their planned new home, built with glass, steel and concrete, is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation (植被). Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.” The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys’ neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation. As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes. 4. What can we learn about the Warneskys’ home? A. It had been rebuilt for three times. B. It was built with fire-resistant materials. C. It was ruined in the third serious wildfire. D. It was specially designed to watch wildfires. 5. Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to ______. A. highlight their priority on safety B. criticize unsafe material choices C. recall meaningful past moments D. compare old and new housing styles 6. What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families? A. It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation. B. It motivates better connection with their community. C. It gives them greater understanding of the climate change. D. It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Climate Change Draws Communities Apart B. Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas C. Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes D. Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Warnesky夫妇的家在经历两次山火幸存后，最终在第三次山火中被毁，他们转而选择创新的预制装配式房屋进行重建的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived.(2009年，家住加利福尼亚州阿尔塔迪纳的科琳·沃内斯基和杰森·沃内斯基站在自家门阶上，目睹了 Station Fire山火席卷安吉利斯国家森林，火焰在远山的映衬下格外明亮。十一年后，在同一个地方，他们又亲眼见证了洛杉矶县历史上最大的山火之一—— Bobcat Fire。这两次火灾，他们的家都幸免于难)”和第二段中“So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again....But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. (因此，当2025年1月伊顿大火在三英里外爆发时，这对夫妇确信他们的房子会再次安全。……但这一次，他们的运气用完了。他们1400平方英尺的家被烧成了平地)”可知，他们的家在第三次严重的山火中被毁。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.” (Jason分享了对旧居苦乐参半的回忆——那是一座简朴的战后房屋，带有一个他们钟爱的红木平台。“我怀疑那个平台是最先着火的东西之一，”他说。“我们不会再犯同样的错误了。”)”可知，Jason提到红木平台是为了说明他们从中吸取了教训，强调了他们对安全的优先考虑。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). (在对看似无尽的等待感到厌倦之后，Warnesky一家做出了一个关键决定：他们不再使用传统材料重建，而是选择创新的预制装配式房屋)”和最后一段中“As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes. (随着气候变化导致更频繁、更严重的自然灾害，越来越多的家庭正转向更智能的住房选择。预制房屋采用新颖的建造方式，能够抵御极端环境，为人们带来安心——对于像沃内斯基一家这样的家庭来说，这更是灰烬之中的新起点)”可知，野火灾难并没有击垮这些家庭，反而促使他们变得更加坚强，主动寻求创新的住房方案，在废墟中重新开始。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一、二段讲述了Warnesky夫妇的家在经历两次山火幸存后，最终在第三次山火中被毁；结合第三段中“After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. (在对看似无尽的等待感到厌倦之后，Warnesky一家做出了一个关键决定：他们不再使用传统材料重建，而是选择创新的预制装配式房屋。通过加州大学洛杉矶分校城市实验室开发的一个项目，他们已经加入了当地越来越多选择这种房屋的家庭行列)”、最后一段中“As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. (随着气候变化导致自然灾害更加频繁和严重，越来越多的家庭正在转向更智能的住房选择。)”和“for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes (对于像Warnesky这样的家庭来说，这是在灰烬中重新开始)”可推知。全文围绕Warnesky夫妇的家被山火烧毁后选择预制房屋重建的故事展开，并指出越来越多家庭也在效仿。因此，本文最佳标题是“Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas (预制房屋在被火灾摧毁的地区重建希望)”。 C The Mona Lisa is undoubtedly one of the most famous artworks in existence. Its mysterious smile and da Vinci’s innovative use of techniques like sfumato, which softly mixes colors, have stimulated generations of viewers. But at the heart of its fame lies an essential question: is this painting’s global recognition truly the result of its artistic excellence, or has it been promoted by historical events and cultural symbolism over time? One crucial moment in the Mona Lisa’s rise to international superstardom was its theft in 1911. Before this bold crime, the painting was admired but not yet the cultural icon it is today. When it disappeared, headlines across the globe narrated the saga (长篇故事) of its theft, sparking public fascination. For two years, the Mona Lisa remained missing, and by the time it was recovered, it was never just art — it became “art” itself for millions. Some argue that this moment shifted the public attention from its visual mastery to the dramatic event. Its towering reputation also originates from its profound influence on pop culture. For decades, the Mona Lisa has been endlessly reproduced, referenced, and imitated across pop culture. From advertising to memes, its image is everywhere. Such abundance has transformed it from a masterpiece of Renaissance art into a cultural symbol recognized by even those unfamiliar with its origins. Critics, however, warn that this popularity risks reducing appreciation for its craftsmanship, encouraging a view of the Mona Lisa as a decorative pattern rather than profound creation. Still, there’s no denying the painting’s artistic innovations. The whisper of a smile, the lifelike textures, and da Vinci’s use of perspective continue to amaze art enthusiasts. So is the Mona Lisa overrated? Perhaps the answer lies not in the painting itself, but in our human desire to create legends — and our equally strong desire to question them. 8. What question lies at the core of the Mona Lisa’s fame? A. Whether it was inspired by historical events. B. Whether pop culture has ruined its artistic charm. C. Whether da Vinci intended for it to be world-famous. D. Whether its fame comes from artistic brilliance or external factors. 9. What does the phrase “it became ‘art’ itself for millions” imply in paragraph 2? A. Its worth multiplied in great numbers. B. It became more celebrated for its visual mastery. C. It became valued particularly for its artistic skill. D. It went beyond artistic value to become symbolic. 10. What does paragraph 3 imply about exposure to famous artworks? A. It ensures a balanced representation in popular media. B. It may mislead public perception, favoring fame over artistry. C. It has universally enhanced appreciation for their craftsmanship. D. It enables Renaissance works to regain long-lost historical status. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the Mona Lisa in the last paragraph? A. Critical yet reflective. B. Objective yet thought-provoking. C. Appreciative and admiring. D. Dismissive and aggressive. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了《蒙娜丽莎》的成名原因，探讨其盛誉源于艺术成就还是历史事件与文化象征共同作用的结果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But at the heart of its fame lies an essential question: is this painting’s global recognition truly the result of its artistic excellence, or has it been promoted by historical events and cultural symbolism over time?(但在其名声的核心存在一个根本问题：这幅画的全球认可究竟是源于其艺术卓越，还是长期以来由历史事件和文化象征所推动？)”可知，其核心问题在于名声源于艺术才华还是外部因素。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When it disappeared, headlines across the globe narrated the saga (长篇故事) of its theft, sparking public fascination. For two years, the Mona Lisa remained missing, and by the time it was recovered, it was never just art — it became “art” itself for millions.(当它失踪时，全球头条都在讲述它的盗窃传奇，引发了公众的迷恋。两年间，《蒙娜丽莎》一直下落不明，等到它被找回时，它对数百万人来说不再只是艺术——它本身成为了“艺术”)”可知，“it became “art” itself for millions.”这句话暗示由于失窃事件，它不再仅仅是一幅画，而变成了一种超越艺术价值的符号。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Critics, however, warn that this popularity risks reducing appreciation for its craftsmanship, encouraging a view of the Mona Lisa as a decorative pattern rather than profound creation.(然而，批评者警告说，这种流行度有可能削弱对其工艺的欣赏，促使人们将《蒙娜丽莎》视为装饰图案而非深刻的艺术创作)”可知，过度的曝光可能误导公众，让人们更看重名气而非艺术性。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, there’s no denying the painting’s artistic innovations. The whisper of a smile, the lifelike textures, and da Vinci’s use of perspective continue to amaze art enthusiasts. So is the Mona Lisa overrated? Perhaps the answer lies not in the painting itself, but in our human desire to create legends — and our equally strong desire to question them.(尽管如此，这幅画的艺术创新不可否认。那似有若无的微笑、逼真的质感，以及达·芬奇对透视法的运用，仍然令艺术爱好者惊叹。那么，《蒙娜丽莎》是否被高估了？也许答案不在于画作本身，而在于人类创造传说的欲望——以及我们同样强烈的质疑这些传说的欲望)”可知，作者既肯定了画作的艺术价值，又反思了人们对它的过度神化，态度客观且具有启发性。 D When diving into a foreign language, many students find themselves marveling at the fact that objects, universal to all human beings, are often named with sounds that vary wildly across languages. Take the familiar animal known as a “dog” in English — it’s “gou” in Chinese and “inu” in Japanese. This striking difference is more than a cultural curiosity; it embodies a core concept in linguistics called arbitrariness (任意性). The term was famously introduced by the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, who argued that there is typically no natural connection between a word and the object or idea it represents. Had ancient English speakers chosen a completely different sound for “tree” or “water”, communication would still have functioned normally. This reveals an extraordinary truth: what grants language with power is not the nature itself but rather the shared understanding within a community. Once a group agrees on specific signs or sounds, those symbols take on meaning. One way this arbitrariness justifies itself is through the natural evolution of languages. Since words are rooted in convention rather than unchanging rules, their pronunciation, meaning, and even usage morph over time. Think about Modern English compared to Old English — they’re so far apart that many early texts feel alien to the average reader today. But let’s not get carried away thinking arbitrariness is a constant. Some words, especially onomatopoeic words (拟声词), carry an element of directness that sets them apart from the rest. Consider the sound of bees: English speakers call it “buzz,” while Chinese speakers say “wengweng.” Both words attempt to capture the same noise, though each is colored by cultural perception. More amazingly, recent researchers state that certain speech sounds may arouse similar emotional reactions across languages, suggesting probable universality beneath the linguistic diversity. For language learners, this concept can be a game-changer. The secret to mastering a language lies not in finding logical explanations for every word, but in immersing yourself in meaningful communication, repeated exposure, and practice. It’s through these experiences that the seemingly arbitrary transforms into something deeply familiar, even second nature. 12. What does the example of “tree” and “water” illustrate in paragraph 2? A. Natural connection between sounds and objects. B. Ancient processes of creating words for objects. C. Social agreement’s role in assigning meanings. D. Universal linguistic rules for sound creation. 13. What does the underlined word “morph” mean in paragraph 3? A. Stay constant. B. Change and develop. C. Fade away. D. Become harder to understand. 14. What can we infer from recent research findings in paragraph 4? A. Onomatopoeic words serve as further proof of arbitrariness. B. Linguistic diversity removes universal features across languages. C. Cultural difference determines the representation of natural sounds. D. Cross-language emotional associations can be achieved despite differences. 15. Which of the following opinions might the author agree with? A. Language reflects human creativity and collective imagination. B. Language systems depend on cultural dominance and superiority. C. Arbitrariness creates obstacles that prevent cross-cultural communication. D. Logical explanations for new words help learners understand their origin. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了语言学中的“任意性”概念，即词语与所指对象之间没有必然的自然联系，语言的意义源于社会约定俗成。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Had ancient English speakers chosen a completely different sound for “tree” or “water”, communication would still have functioned normally. This reveals an extraordinary truth: what grants language with power is not the nature itself but rather the shared understanding within a community. (如果古代英语使用者为“树”或“水”选择了完全不同的发音，交流仍然可以正常进行。这揭示了一个非凡的真理：赋予语言力量的不是事物本身，而是社群内部的共同理解)”可知，“树”和“水”的例子说明了社会共识在赋予词语意义中的作用。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Think about Modern English compared to Old English — they’re so far apart that many early texts feel alien to the average reader today. (想想现代英语与古英语的对比——它们之间的差距如此之大，以至于许多早期文本对今天的普通读者来说都感到陌生)”可知，现代英语与古英语差距如此之大，以至于许多早期文本对今天的普通读者来说都感到陌生，说明词语会随着时间“变化和发展”。故划线词morph意为“变化和发展”，与“Change and develop”同义。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“More amazingly, recent researchers state that certain speech sounds may arouse similar emotional reactions across languages, suggesting probable universality beneath the linguistic diversity. (更令人惊讶的是，最近的研究人员指出，某些语音可能会在不同语言中引起相似的情感反应，这表明在语言多样性的背后可能存在普遍性)”可推知，尽管语言存在差异，但跨语言的情感关联是可以实现的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This reveals an extraordinary truth: what grants language with power is not the nature itself but rather the shared understanding within a community. Once a group agrees on specific signs or sounds, those symbols take on meaning (这揭示了一个非同寻常的事实：赋予语言力量的不是自然本身，而是社区内的共同理解。一旦一个群体就特定的符号或声音达成一致，这些符号就有了意义)”和第五段中“The secret to mastering a language lies not in finding logical explanations for every word, but in immersing yourself in meaningful communication, repeated exposure, and practice.(掌握一门语言的秘诀不在于为每个单词找到合乎逻辑的解释，而在于让自己沉浸在有意义的交流、反复接触和练习中)”可知，作者认为语言的意义来自群体的共同创造和想象，而非逻辑规则或文化优越感。A项“Language reflects human creativity and collective imagination(语言反映了人类的创造力和集体想象力)”与作者观点一致。 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。 Traditionally, consumers focused on price and function when making purchasing decisions. But today, more shoppers are buying for something deeper: emotional value. ____16____ It refers to the positive feelings customers get from their interactions with a brand — joy, trust, belonging, or a sense of being understood. And it has become the ultimate edge in 2026, as products with similar features and prices struggle to stand out in crowded markets. Functional value answers “Does it work?”, but emotional value answers “How does it make me feel?” ____17____ According to a recent study, emotionally connected customers spend twice as much and stay loyal longer than those who only care about usefulness. So how can brands build this kind of value consistently? ____18____ Stop relying on scripted replies; instead, listen carefully for the emotion behind a customer’s words. You might be surprised by how small, empathetic responses can leave a lasting positive impression. Next, use storytelling that mirrors your audience’s identity. Don’t just tell your brand’s story, but help them see their own lives, struggles, and dreams in it. Third, deliver surprise-and-delight moments, like personalized gestures that make customers feel truly seen and valued. Another key practice is making every decision consistent with shared values that strike a chord with your audience. ____19____ Finally, build emotional consistency across the entire customer journey, ensuring every touchpoint — from ads to post-purchase support — reinforces the feeling you want them to have. By prioritizing these practices, brands don’t just sell products — ____20____ In a crowded market, this is what turns one-time buyers into lifelong advocates who will choose your brand over competitors, even when cheaper options exist. A. First of all, be patient. B. they expand social networks. C. they build lasting connections. D. This invisible bond drives powerful results. E.

Gen Z shoppers, in particular, reward brands whose actions match their stated values. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了在2026年市场竞争中，品牌如何通过打造情感价值（如共情、讲故事）来赢得消费者的忠诚与竞争优势。 【16题详解】 上文“But today, more shoppers are buying for something deeper: emotional value.(但如今，越来越多的消费者购买的是更深层次的东西：情感价值)”引出核心概念“情感价值”。空后“It refers to the positive feelings customers get from their interactions with a brand — joy, trust, belonging, or a sense of being understood.(它指的是顾客在与品牌互动时获得的积极感受——快乐、信任、归属感或被理解的感觉)”对前文的概念进行具体解释。空处承上启下，需对“情感价值”进行定义。选项F“It’s the emotional “net gain” beyond a product’s features or price tag.(这是超越产品功能或价格标签的情感“净收益”)”中的It指代前文的emotional value，且进一步解释了其含义，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“Functional value answers “Does it work?”, but emotional value answers “How does it make me feel?”(功能价值回答“它好用吗？”，而情感价值回答“它让我感觉如何？”)”对比了功能价值与情感价值。空后“According to a recent study, emotionally connected customers spend twice as much and stay loyal longer than those who only care about usefulness.(根据最近的一项研究，有情感联结的顾客消费额是仅关注实用性的顾客的两倍，且忠诚度更高)”说明了情感价值带来的实际商业结果。空处需起到承上启下的作用，引出下文的结果。选项D“This invisible bond drives powerful results.(这种无形的纽带带来了强大的结果)”中的This invisible bond指代前文的emotional value，且引出下文关于消费力和忠诚度的论述，符合语境。 【18题详解】 下文“Stop relying on scripted replies; instead, listen carefully for the emotion behind a customer’s words.(停止依赖照本宣科的回复；相反，要仔细倾听客户话语背后的情绪)”提出了具体的做法，即关注客户的情绪。空处为本段的主题句，需概括本段主旨。选项E“The first step is heartfelt empathy in every interaction.(第一步是在每一次互动中都怀有真诚的共情)”概括了本段关于“倾听与共情”的核心内容，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“Another key practice is making every decision consistent with shared values that strike a chord with your audience.(另一个关键做法是让每一个决策都与能引起受众共鸣的共同价值观保持一致)”强调了价值观共鸣的重要性。空处需进一步举例说明价值观对消费者行为的影响。选项G“Gen Z shoppers, in particular, reward brands whose actions match their stated values.(特别是Z世代购物者，他们会奖励那些行动与其宣称的价值观相符的品牌)”具体举例说明了Z世代消费者对品牌价值观的重视，承接了上文关于“shared values”的论述，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“By prioritizing these practices, brands don’t just sell products — they build lasting connections.(通过优先考虑这些做法，品牌不仅仅是在销售产品，他们建立了持久的联系)”指出品牌超越了单纯的产品销售。空后“In a crowded market, this is what turns one-time buyers into lifelong advocates who will choose your brand over competitors, even when cheaper options exist.(在拥挤的市场中，这正是将一次性买家转变为终身拥护者的原因，即使存在更便宜的选择，他们也会选择你的品牌而不是竞争对手)”说明了这种做法的最终结果。选项C“they build lasting connections.(他们建立了持久的联系)”与后文“turns one-time buyers into lifelong advocates”形成逻辑上的递进，符合语境。 第三部分 语言应用（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，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For years, Shao Ran was celebrated as a professional whale trainer, impressing audiences with Sophie, a gentle whale in marine shows.

Unlike my classmates who seemed to appreciate the ancient art form, I found it boring and irrelevant to modern life. My strokes (笔画) were clumsy, my ink control was poor, and I couldn’t understand why anyone would spend hours practicing the same character over and over. While others produced elegant works that resembled flowing rivers and dancing dragons, mine looked like tangled noodles. I always tried hard to pursue precision and avoid mistakes, yet I failed repeatedly. The more I forced control over my brush, the messier my strokes became, leaving me filled with deep frustration. Mr. Zhang, a patient man with silver-streaked hair, never criticized my poor work. Instead, he would gently correct my posture and remind me to breathe. “Calligraphy is not just about writing,” he often said. “It’s about cultivating xin — your heart and mind. A restless heart will show in your brush.” I dismissed his words as an empty philosophy, unable to understand what my heart had to do with holding a brush. Yet day after day, he guided my hand through basic strokes, his calm presence and unwavering patience helping me internalize the movements without realizing it. Then came the Spring Festival. Our school organized a calligraphy exhibition where students would write chunlian — traditional couplets — to decorate the campus. Everyone was excited except me. I had planned to skip the event, but Mr. Zhang caught me trying to leave. Instead of scolding me, he handed me a piece of red paper and said, “Write the character ‘fu’ — fortune. Just one character. You’ve practiced this hundreds of times with me. Trust what your hand remembers, even if your mind doubts.” I stared at the blank paper, feeling the weight of expectation. My palms started to sweat as the memories of failed attempts and tangled strokes flooded back. The brush in my hand felt heavy — it was as if I was holding more than just a writing tool. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Something shifted inside me as I lifted the brush. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished, I looked at the character in disbelief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: Something shifted inside me as I lifted the brush. I remembered what Mr. Zhang had told me about the heart and mind. Instead of forcing control, I took a deep breath and tried to let go of my fear. The brush, which felt so heavy moments ago, now seemed like a natural extension of my arm.​ I focused on the red paper in front of me, allowing the movements that Mr. Zhang had drilled into me to take over. As I pressed down, the ink flowed smoothly, creating a bold and steady stroke.​ I stopped worrying about perfection and simply trusted the process. The classroom was silent except for the soft sound of the brush touching the paper. Paragraph 2: When I finished, I looked at the character in disbelief. The character “fu” that lay on the paper was the best I had ever written.​ It was full of strength and grace, looking nothing like the tangled noodles from before. Mr. Zhang walked over and nodded with approval. “You see,” he said softly, “the beauty comes from within, which is exactly what I meant.” I finally understood that calligraphy was not just about copying shapes, but about expressing inner peace. I realized that this was a lesson I would carry with me long after the class ended. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在高中书法课上起初觉得书法枯燥且总是写不好，感到十分挫败，但在张老师耐心的引导下，作者逐渐静下心来。在春节写春联活动中，作者克服心理障碍，终于写出了满意的“福”字，领悟到了书法真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者回忆老师的教导，放下执念，专注于笔尖，平静地完成书写的过程。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者对作品的震惊与喜悦，以及张老师给予的肯定，最后升华主题，点明“心手合一”的道理。 2. 续写线索：内心转变 —— 专注书写 —— 完成作品 —— 难以置信 —— 老师肯定 —— 领悟道理 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on ② 赞许地点点头：nod with approval/nod approvingly/nod with satisfaction 情绪类 ① 担心：worrying about /be concerned about ② 温和地：softly/gently 【点睛】【高分句型1】I remembered what Mr. Zhang had told me about the heart and mind.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】The brush, which felt so heavy moments ago, now seemed like a natural extension of my arm.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秘密★启用前 【考试时间：5月22日14:30 — 16:30】 重庆一中高2027届高二下期期中考试 英语试题卷 （试卷共10页。考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．答题时用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。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20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived. So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again. “We couldn’t imagine how the fire would even reach us,” Colleen recalled. But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. There they were, pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction. After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas, and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions. For the Warneskys, safety comes first. Their planned new home, built with glass, steel and concrete, is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation (植被). Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.” The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys’ neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation. As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes. 4. What can we learn about the Warneskys’ home? A. It had been rebuilt for three times. B. It was built with fire-resistant materials. C. It was ruined in the third serious wildfire. D. It was specially designed to watch wildfires. 5. Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to ______. A. highlight their priority on safety B. criticize unsafe material choices C. recall meaningful past moments D. compare old and new housing styles 6. What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families? A. It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation. B. It motivates better connection with their community. C. It gives them greater understanding of the climate change. D. It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Climate Change Draws Communities Apart B. Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas C. Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes D. Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction C The Mona Lisa is undoubtedly one of the most famous artworks in existence. Its mysterious smile and da Vinci’s innovative use of techniques like sfumato, which softly mixes colors, have stimulated generations of viewers. But at the heart of its fame lies an essential question: is this painting’s global recognition truly the result of its artistic excellence, or has it been promoted by historical events and cultural symbolism over time? One crucial moment in the Mona Lisa’s rise to international superstardom was its theft in 1911. Before this bold crime, the painting was admired but not yet the cultural icon it is today. When it disappeared, headlines across the globe narrated the saga (长篇故事) of its theft, sparking public fascination. For two years, the Mona Lisa remained missing, and by the time it was recovered, it was never just art — it became “art” itself for millions. Some argue that this moment shifted the public attention from its visual mastery to the dramatic event. Its towering reputation also originates from its profound influence on pop culture. For decades, the Mona Lisa has been endlessly reproduced, referenced, and imitated across pop culture. From advertising to memes, its image is everywhere. Such abundance has transformed it from a masterpiece of Renaissance art into a cultural symbol recognized by even those unfamiliar with its origins. Critics, however, warn that this popularity risks reducing appreciation for its craftsmanship, encouraging a view of the Mona Lisa as a decorative pattern rather than profound creation. Still, there’s no denying the painting’s artistic innovations. The whisper of a smile, the lifelike textures, and da Vinci’s use of perspective continue to amaze art enthusiasts. So is the Mona Lisa overrated? Perhaps the answer lies not in the painting itself, but in our human desire to create legends — and our equally strong desire to question them. 8. What question lies at the core of the Mona Lisa’s fame? A. Whether it was inspired by historical events. B. Whether pop culture has ruined its artistic charm. C. Whether da Vinci intended for it to be world-famous. D. Whether its fame comes from artistic brilliance or external factors. 9. What does the phrase “it became ‘art’ itself for millions” imply in paragraph 2? A. Its worth multiplied in great numbers. B. It became more celebrated for its visual mastery. C. It became valued particularly for its artistic skill. D. It went beyond artistic value to become symbolic. 10. What does paragraph 3 imply about exposure to famous artworks? A. It ensures a balanced representation in popular media. B. It may mislead public perception, favoring fame over artistry. C. It has universally enhanced appreciation for their craftsmanship. D. It enables Renaissance works to regain long-lost historical status. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the Mona Lisa in the last paragraph? A. Critical yet reflective. B. Objective yet thought-provoking. C. Appreciative and admiring. D. Dismissive and aggressive. D When diving into a foreign language, many students find themselves marveling at the fact that objects, universal to all human beings, are often named with sounds that vary wildly across languages. Take the familiar animal known as a “dog” in English — it’s “gou” in Chinese and “inu” in Japanese. This striking difference is more than a cultural curiosity; it embodies a core concept in linguistics called arbitrariness (任意性). The term was famously introduced by the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, who argued that there is typically no natural connection between a word and the object or idea it represents. Had ancient English speakers chosen a completely different sound for “tree” or “water”, communication would still have functioned normally. This reveals an extraordinary truth: what grants language with power is not the nature itself but rather the shared understanding within a community. Once a group agrees on specific signs or sounds, those symbols take on meaning. One way this arbitrariness justifies itself is through the natural evolution of languages. Since words are rooted in convention rather than unchanging rules, their pronunciation, meaning, and even usage morph over time. Think about Modern English compared to Old English — they’re so far apart that many early texts feel alien to the average reader today. But let’s not get carried away thinking arbitrariness is a constant. Some words, especially onomatopoeic words (拟声词), carry an element of directness that sets them apart from the rest. Consider the sound of bees: English speakers call it “buzz,” while Chinese speakers say “wengweng.” Both words attempt to capture the same noise, though each is colored by cultural perception. More amazingly, recent researchers state that certain speech sounds may arouse similar emotional reactions across languages, suggesting probable universality beneath the linguistic diversity. For language learners, this concept can be a game-changer. The secret to mastering a language lies not in finding logical explanations for every word, but in immersing yourself in meaningful communication, repeated exposure, and practice. It’s through these experiences that the seemingly arbitrary transforms into something deeply familiar, even second nature. 12. What does the example of “tree” and “water” illustrate in paragraph 2? A. Natural connection between sounds and objects. B. Ancient processes of creating words for objects. C. Social agreement’s role in assigning meanings. D. Universal linguistic rules for sound creation. 13. What does the underlined word “morph” mean in paragraph 3? A. Stay constant. B. Change and develop. C. Fade away. D. Become harder to understand. 14. What can we infer from recent research findings in paragraph 4? A. Onomatopoeic words serve as further proof of arbitrariness. B. Linguistic diversity removes universal features across languages. C. Cultural difference determines the representation of natural sounds. D. Cross-language emotional associations can be achieved despite differences. 15. Which of the following opinions might the author agree with? A. Language reflects human creativity and collective imagination. B. Language systems depend on cultural dominance and superiority. C. Arbitrariness creates obstacles that prevent cross-cultural communication. D. Logical explanations for new words help learners understand their origin. 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。 Traditionally, consumers focused on price and function when making purchasing decisions. But today, more shoppers are buying for something deeper: emotional value. ____16____ It refers to the positive feelings customers get from their interactions with a brand — joy, trust, belonging, or a sense of being understood. And it has become the ultimate edge in 2026, as products with similar features and prices struggle to stand out in crowded markets. Functional value answers “Does it work?”, but emotional value answers “How does it make me feel?” ____17____ According to a recent study, emotionally connected customers spend twice as much and stay loyal longer than those who only care about usefulness. So how can brands build this kind of value consistently? ____18____ Stop relying on scripted replies; instead, listen carefully for the emotion behind a customer’s words. You might be surprised by how small, empathetic responses can leave a lasting positive impression. Next, use storytelling that mirrors your audience’s identity. Don’t just tell your brand’s story, but help them see their own lives, struggles, and dreams in it. Third, deliver surprise-and-delight moments, like personalized gestures that make customers feel truly seen and valued. Another key practice is making every decision consistent with shared values that strike a chord with your audience. ____19____ Finally, build emotional consistency across the entire customer journey, ensuring every touchpoint — from ads to post-purchase support — reinforces the feeling you want them to have. By prioritizing these practices, brands don’t just sell products — ____20____ In a crowded market, this is what turns one-time buyers into lifelong advocates who will choose your brand over competitors, even when cheaper options exist. A. First of all, be patient. B. they expand social networks. C. they build lasting connections. D. This invisible bond drives powerful results. E. The first step is heartfelt empathy in every interaction. F. It’s the emotional “net gain” beyond a product’s features or price tag. G. Gen Z shoppers, in particular, reward brands whose actions match their stated values. 第三部分 语言应用（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，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For years, Shao Ran was celebrated as a professional whale trainer, impressing audiences with Sophie, a gentle whale in marine shows.

Unlike my classmates who seemed to appreciate the ancient art form, I found it boring and irrelevant to modern life. My strokes (笔画) were clumsy, my ink control was poor, and I couldn’t understand why anyone would spend hours practicing the same character over and over. While others produced elegant works that resembled flowing rivers and dancing dragons, mine looked like tangled noodles. I always tried hard to pursue precision and avoid mistakes, yet I failed repeatedly. The more I forced control over my brush, the messier my strokes became, leaving me filled with deep frustration. Mr. Zhang, a patient man with silver-streaked hair, never criticized my poor work. Instead, he would gently correct my posture and remind me to breathe. “Calligraphy is not just about writing,” he often said. “It’s about cultivating xin — your heart and mind. A restless heart will show in your brush.” I dismissed his words as an empty philosophy, unable to understand what my heart had to do with holding a brush. Yet day after day, he guided my hand through basic strokes, his calm presence and unwavering patience helping me internalize the movements without realizing it. Then came the Spring Festival. Our school organized a calligraphy exhibition where students would write chunlian — traditional couplets — to decorate the campus. Everyone was excited except me. I had planned to skip the event, but Mr. Zhang caught me trying to leave. Instead of scolding me, he handed me a piece of red paper and said, “Write the character ‘fu’ — fortune. Just one character. You’ve practiced this hundreds of times with me. Trust what your hand remembers, even if your mind doubts.” I stared at the blank paper, feeling the weight of expectation. My palms started to sweat as the memories of failed attempts and tangled strokes flooded back. The brush in my hand felt heavy — it was as if I was holding more than just a writing tool. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Something shifted inside me as I lifted the brush. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished, I looked at the character in disbelief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
