Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 24. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 25. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 26. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Romantic and adventurous. D. Pioneering and compassionate. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Home Without Barriers B. A Chance for New Business C. A Hero of Online Campaign D. A Center for Special Education C Plenty of previous research has shown that interacting with nature reduces stress, but it is not clear how long and how often the engagement needs to be. A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology suggests that you don’t have to devote a full day, or even several hours to benefit from the contact with nature. MaryCarol Hunter, the study’s lead author, and her colleagues recruited 36 residents of Michigan, almost all of whom were women and white. They instructed the participants to spend 10 minutes or more, at least three times a week, in an outdoor space where they could interact with nature. In the hope of reflecting how people might realistically engage with nature as they go about their everyday lives, the researchers gave the participants permission to choose where and when they visited those outdoor spaces. The participants were also instructed to avoid accessing the Internet, taking phone calls, reading or engaging in conversations while they were there to minimize factors known to influence stress. Every two weeks the participants collected saliva (唾液) samples before and after their nature experience. The researchers used those samples to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇), a body chemical known to be related to stress. The study found that the participants’ levels of cortisol dropped by an average of 21 percent after spending time in an urban green space. The effects were most pronounced when the nature experience was between 20 and 30 minutes long. Levels of the hormone dropped further when participants spent longer periods, but at a slower rate. This study was quite small, and its participants were not diverse. Furthermore, it measured only drops in biomarkers for stress instead of direct impact on specific health outcomes. Still, the study’s findings are in line with a growing body of research that supports the idea that spending time in or living near a green space can have a positive effect on health and provides the first estimates of how nature experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. 28. What does Hunter’s study focus on? A. The role of cortisol in stress reduction. B. The benefits of spending time outdoors. C. The impact of nature on physical health. D. The ideal duration in nature for stress relief. 29. Why were the participants prohibited from certain activities in outdoor spaces? A. To keep disturbing factors from affecting stress. B. To test their ability to stay offline for a long time. C. To reflect how people realistically engage with nature. D. To encourage participants to focus on physical exercise. 30. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Direct. B. Lasting. C. Slight. D. Significant. 31. What does the author think of Hunter’s study? A. Unreliable but novel. B. Specific and influential. C. Limited but informative. D. Comprehensive and valid. D Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”. What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 32. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics. 33. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic. 35. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others? C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character? 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。 Want to improve your life but feel overwhelmed by big changes? Actually, small and positive actions can make a significant difference. Lasting well-being is often built through consistent, manageable choices. You don’t need a huge transformation. ____36____ Here are some evidence-backed steps to get you started. ____37____ It can be about finding the delight in small, everyday moments, and deciding to approach your day-to-day life with good humour. ____38____ Researcher Tomisawa et al. (2025) found that laughing helps to improve optimism, reduce pessimism, and relieve stress. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you should go around laughing at anything and everything. Be aware of what’s happening around you and recognise the moments or interactions that hold the potential for amusement, and actively choose to lean into that. Stand up for what you believe in, even when it feels uncomfortable. Whether it’s defending someone, challenging unkind behaviour, or simply expressing your viewpoint, standing up for what matters to you strengthens your sense of identity and helps you to be an active bystander. ____39____ It’s being willing to act even when you feel scared. Each time you stand up for what you believe to be right, you’re confirming that your voice matters and deserves to be heard. Actively seek out connection. Our relationships are foundational to happiness. Having people around you to celebrate successes, laugh at mistakes, or share struggles nurtures deep connection and improves our individual well-being. Research has found that having such friendships predicted well-being and its components. ____40____ In short, small actions repeated consistently create meaningful change. These suggested steps all have the power to positively impact our everyday lives and help move us closer to the life that we want. A. Cherish daily progress. B. A few intentional minor shifts will do. C. Seek out fun and laughter in everyday things. D. So take time to develop supportive relationships. E. It seems scary, but courage isn’t the absence of fear. F. It builds up confidence and shapes how others see you. G. The benefits of this joyful approach are well-documented. 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。 When Liam sank into deep loneliness at the age of fourteen, he became a completely different boy.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2025-2026学年高三下期三模测试（A） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

An art festival. B. A theatre concert. C. A ballet performance. 【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Good evening. This is Chris reporting on this year’s art festival. This is the 3rd year, and the time is a bit different. For the last couple of years, it’s been around the 10th to the 17th of January, but this year it will be held at the end of the month and it’s going to be the biggest we’ve ever seen. The programme has theatre concerts and also a large number of art shows. But the festival is most famous for its great ballet performances. Today I’m going to tell you about two. But there are plenty of others in the programme. The first is a classical one given by Russian dancers at $45. It’s very expensive anyway. It’s really for adult tastes. The second performance is by a modern Italian ballet. An interesting feature of it is that the performers are so young. The youngest is only 14, and it’s to the tastes of both the young and the old. Well, that’s all from me for today. But I’ll be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Employment Act covers employees working under a contract of service with an employer.

Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 24. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 25. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 26. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Romantic and adventurous. D. Pioneering and compassionate. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Home Without Barriers B. A Chance for New Business C. A Hero of Online Campaign D. A Center for Special Education 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述崔雅梦创办无障碍民宿帮助残障人士的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. (大学期间她和残障朋友的旅行让她看到，台阶这类日常障碍会变成巨大困难，这启发她立下打造无障碍酒店的长期目标。)”可知，崔雅梦设计民宿的灵感来源于她与残障朋友的旅行经历。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. (这个帖子鼓舞了很多关注者，包括一位男子开启了20年来第一次独自旅行。 )”可知，崔雅梦的事迹激励了残障旅行者勇敢出行。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段“As a practical start, she transformed her apartment's first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. (作为实际的开端，她在2023年将公寓一楼改造成了这家包容性民宿。)”以及“Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. (崔为残障客人提供免费住宿，只要求对方分享个人故事作为回报。)”可知，崔雅梦具有开创性和富有同情心的特质。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. (由29岁的崔雅梦经营，它体现了她为残障人士创造无障碍环境的使命。)”可知，本文核心主题是打造无障碍的“家”。 C Plenty of previous research has shown that interacting with nature reduces stress, but it is not clear how long and how often the engagement needs to be. A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology suggests that you don’t have to devote a full day, or even several hours to benefit from the contact with nature. MaryCarol Hunter, the study’s lead author, and her colleagues recruited 36 residents of Michigan, almost all of whom were women and white. They instructed the participants to spend 10 minutes or more, at least three times a week, in an outdoor space where they could interact with nature. In the hope of reflecting how people might realistically engage with nature as they go about their everyday lives, the researchers gave the participants permission to choose where and when they visited those outdoor spaces. The participants were also instructed to avoid accessing the Internet, taking phone calls, reading or engaging in conversations while they were there to minimize factors known to influence stress. Every two weeks the participants collected saliva (唾液) samples before and after their nature experience. The researchers used those samples to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇), a body chemical known to be related to stress. The study found that the participants’ levels of cortisol dropped by an average of 21 percent after spending time in an urban green space. The effects were most pronounced when the nature experience was between 20 and 30 minutes long. Levels of the hormone dropped further when participants spent longer periods, but at a slower rate. This study was quite small, and its participants were not diverse. Furthermore, it measured only drops in biomarkers for stress instead of direct impact on specific health outcomes. Still, the study’s findings are in line with a growing body of research that supports the idea that spending time in or living near a green space can have a positive effect on health and provides the first estimates of how nature experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. 28. What does Hunter’s study focus on? A. The role of cortisol in stress reduction. B. The benefits of spending time outdoors. C. The impact of nature on physical health. D. The ideal duration in nature for stress relief. 29. Why were the participants prohibited from certain activities in outdoor spaces? A. To keep disturbing factors from affecting stress. B. To test their ability to stay offline for a long time. C. To reflect how people realistically engage with nature. D. To encourage participants to focus on physical exercise. 30. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Direct. B. Lasting. C. Slight. D. Significant. 31. What does the author think of Hunter’s study? A. Unreliable but novel. B. Specific and influential. C. Limited but informative. D. Comprehensive and valid. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于与自然接触对缓解压力影响的研究，包括研究目的、过程、结果以及作者对该研究的评价。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Plenty of previous research has shown that interacting with nature reduces stress, but it is not clear how long and how often the engagement needs to be.(以前的大量研究表明，与自然互动可以减轻压力，但尚不清楚这种互动需要多长时间以及多久进行一次。)”可知，Hunter的研究关注的是缓解压力的理想自然时长。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The participants were also instructed to avoid accessing the Internet, taking phone calls, reading or engaging in conversations while they were there to minimize factors known to influence stress.(参与者还被指示在户外时避免上网、接电话、阅读或交谈，以尽量减少已知会影响压力的因素。)”可知，禁止参与者在户外空间进行某些活动是为了防止干扰因素影响压力。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Levels of the hormone dropped further when participants spent longer periods, but at a slower rate.(当参与者花费更长的时间时，激素水平会进一步下降，但速度较慢。)”可知，下文提到时间更长效果下降速率变慢，说明20–30分钟时效果最显著、最明显。由此可知，pronounced意为“显著的”。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This study was quite small, and its participants were not diverse. Furthermore, it measured only drops in biomarkers for stress instead of direct impact on specific health outcomes. Still, the study’s findings are in line with a growing body of research that supports the idea that spending time in or living near a green space can have a positive effect on health and provides the first estimates of how nature experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life.(这项研究规模相当小，参与者也不多样化。此外，它只测量了压力生物标志物的下降，而不是对特定健康结果的直接影响。尽管如此，这项研究的结果与越来越多的研究一致，这些研究支持这样一种观点，即花时间在绿色空间或生活在绿色空间附近可以对健康产生积极影响，并首次估算了在正常日常生活中自然体验如何影响压力水平。)”可知，作者认为Hunter的研究有限但信息丰富。故选C。 D Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”. What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 32. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics. 33. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic. 35. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others? C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character? 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(约翰总是把工作场所的小分歧变成激烈的冲突，描述它们就像恐怖电影中的情节转折。艾米丽在社交媒体上精心挑选每一张照片，将自己的生活呈现为一系列理想化的时刻。或者想想马克，他经常在团体环境中期望得到特殊待遇，当没有得到优先权时，他会表现出明显的失望。这样做，他们往往很难真正理解或同情周围人的经历。这种行为是通常所说的“主角综合征”的典型特征。)”可知，作者通过举例（约翰、艾米丽和马克的行为）来阐释“主角综合征”这一概念。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.(此外，自恋倾向等性格特征，或缺乏安全感、自卑等情感困扰，以及以自我为中心的家庭教养方式，都会增加形成这种心态的可能性)”可推知，被过度保护的、以自我为中心的孩子最有可能患上主角综合征。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.(然而，它的潜在缺点往往超过了这些好处：它导致过度的自我中心，削弱了人际间的同理心，并通过将他人简化为仅仅是‘配角’而不是互动中的平等者来破坏真正的关系。)”可推知，作者对主角综合征持批判态度。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(这种行为是通常所说的‘主角综合征’的典型特征)”可推知，文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法，可知，A选项“Star of Your Own Story?(你自己的故事中的明星？)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 Want to improve your life but feel overwhelmed by big changes?

Regarded 64. was seen 65. to suit 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了位于北京繁华市中心的一家新开业的北京礼物店。 【56题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：它散发着一种难以抗拒的魅力，自然而然地吸引了路人的注意。“passer-by”为可数名词，意为“路人”，此处用复数形式“passers-by”表泛指。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：墙上装饰着熊猫模型，吸引着游客走进店内。句中已有谓语动词“is decorated”，所以此处应用非谓语动词。“It”（指代the store）与“invite”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词“inviting”作状语，表主动和伴随。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：整个空间充满了年轻人欢快的交谈声和爽朗的笑声，他们被摆满了精心设计的文创产品的展示柜所吸引。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是“youngsters”，指人，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“who”引导。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：整个空间充满了年轻人欢快的交谈声和爽朗的笑声，他们被摆满了精心设计的文创产品的展示柜所吸引。此处修饰动词“designed”，应用副词“delicately”，意为“精心地，精致地”。 【60题详解】 考查冠词。句意：从这座城市标志性建筑地标的缩微模型到精致的冰箱贴，每一件产品都承载着一个独一无二的故事，反映了这座首都城市的精髓。此处表示泛指“一个独一无二的故事”，“one-of-its-kind”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词“a”。 【61题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在这些引人注目的物品中，有一件无疑是最受欢迎的：兔儿爷，一个传统的神祗形象，有着兔子的头和人的身体，它已稳稳地成为店里最抢手的纪念品之一。此处修饰名词“items”，应用形容词“remarkable”，意为“引人注目的，非凡的”。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：胡鹏飞，这些装饰性兔儿爷雕塑背后的创意者，很高兴看到这个古老的文化符号，曾经作为孩子们在中秋节期间重要的泥塑玩具，在年轻一代中越来越受欢迎。“grow in +名词”表示“在……方面增长”，此处表示在受欢迎程度方面增长。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：兔儿爷最初被认为是象征着和平与幸福的吉祥吉祥物，承载着深厚的文化意义；在过去，它被视为一种能驱走疾病、带来好运的生物，常出现在皇家服饰上。句中已有谓语动词“carries”，所以此处应用非谓语动词。“the Rabbit God”与“regard”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词“Regarded”作状语，表被动和完成，句首单词首字母大写。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：兔儿爷最初被认为是象征着和平与幸福的吉祥吉祥物，承载着深厚的文化意义；在过去，它被视为一种能驱走疾病、带来好运的生物，常出现在皇家服饰上。根据时间状语“in the past”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语“it”（指代the Rabbit God）与“see”之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were +过去分词”，主语是单数，所以用“was seen”。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过胡的创新设计方法，这个文化遗产被巧妙地改造，以适应现代生活方式，成为一件桌面展示品。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示改造文化遗产的目的是适应现代生活方式，所以用“to suit”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66. 上周末，你参加了学校自行车社团组织的骑行活动。请你写一篇短文，在英语课上分享此次经历。内容包括: （1）活动简介； （2）你的收获。 注意: （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A cycling trip ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A cycling trip Last weekend, I joined a cycling activity organized by our school’s cycling club.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination. Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述的是Mark在为学校年度艺术展创作海景画时，因意外打翻颜料而毁掉作品，在懊恼与自责中，Mark走出画室，他的好友Alex带着Mark回美术用品室看看还有没有蓝色颜料的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一进储藏室，Mark的心就沉了下去。”可知，第一段可描写Mark看到了什么让他的心沉下去，结合下一段提示的内容可知，他们又是如何解决的没有蓝色颜料的问题并完成画作的。 ②由第二段首句内容“两天后，Mark紧张地站在展览会上自己那幅“重生”的画作旁。”可知，第二段可描写这幅重生的画作有什么不同，以及老师和同学们看到后做出什么反应和Mark对此事的感悟。 2.续写线索：储藏室没有“海洋蓝”色——想到混合颜色得到蓝色——调出“海洋蓝”色——完成画作——师生称赞画作——Mark的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然想起：strike/hit/occur to/dawn on ②颤抖：trembling/shivering/shaking ③匆忙返回：rushed back/ hurried back/returned hurriedly 情绪类 ①笑：grin/smile broadly/beam/ chuckle happily ②惊讶：eyes widen/eyes open wide 【点睛】[高分句型1] With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. （运用了现在分词短语作状语以及省略关系代词的定语从句） [高分句型2] New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Could you walk the dog when you get home . this evening?

This is Chris reporting on this year's art festival. This is the third year and the time is a bit different for the last couple of years. It's been around the tenth to the seventeen th of january. But this year, IT will be held at the end of the month, and it's going to be the biggest we've ever seen. The program has theater concerts and also a large number of art shows, but the festival is most famous for its great ballet performances. Today, i'm going to tell you about two, but there are plenty of others in the program. The first is a classical one given by russian dancers at forty five dollars. It's very expensive anyway. It's really for adult tastes. The second performance is by a modern italian valley. An interesting feature of IT is that the performers are so Young, the Youngest is only fourteen, and it's to the tastes of both the Young and the old. Well, that's all for me for today, but i'll be back next week with more news of what's worth seeing. Good evening. This is Chris reporting on this year's art festival.
