B A blind skateboarder has proven that his lack of sight won’t stop him from living a normal life—and now he’s learned some of the most complicated tricks. Dan Mancina, 34,from Michigan,the US,was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at 13,a rare genetic disease and it causes loss of vision. Around five years ago,Dan lost his vision completely and now is defined as a blind person—but refuses to let it hold him back. Dan said that he was discouraged by other people’s behaviors and was determined to prove people wrong,so he started skateboarding,practiced every day,and soon he was landing trick after trick. Dan started performing tricks that some might not expect a blind person to be able to do—like throwing darts(飞镖)—but they would be wrong. He said he felt a need to prove himself to those who doubted his abilities. So Dan,who has been skateboarding since he was seven years old,recently posted a video of himself performing a trick on the Internet. The experience reminded him of his love for the sport and inspired him to continue pursuing his passion,but now his methods are somewhat different. Before skating at a park,Dan uses a stick to measure the different ramps(斜坡)and corners,and get a feel for the area. He also uses a beeper box or a Bluetooth speaker to bounce the sounds off anything in the environment—such as a nearby road—warning him of any dangers in the area. The skateboarder said, “I get a mental map of the area where I am and use every other sense I have. I'm always trying to progress and keep pushing myself further and further. I have certain goals that I want to achieve. One day I want to film full-length skateboard videos without any cuts. That’s really my goal.” 24．What happened to Dan Mancina when he was thirteen? A．He became completely blind. B．He was not allowed to skateboard. C．He suffered from a severe eye disease. D．He got injured while skateboarding. 25．Why did Dan perform complicated tricks? A．To show he could live a normal life. B．To achieve his childhood dream. C．To shoot a video about his success in life. D．To become the focus of public attention. 26．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Dan’s training field. B．Dan’s passion for sport. C．Dan’s training equipment. D．Dan’s preparations for skateboarding. 27．What can we learn from the story? A．He who laughs last laughs best. B．All that ends well is well. C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D．A good beginning makes a good ending. C A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 28．What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A．They need much higher maintenance fees. B．Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C．Their power output might be affected by the cold. D．They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 29．Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A．They move much faster than lithium ones. B．They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C．Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D．They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 30．How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A．By quoting experts. B．By analyzing causes. C．By describing a process. D．By making comparisons. 31．What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about? A．Possible direction for future study. B．Choice of new research methods. C．Need to involve more researchers. D．Potential application of the finding. D Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results. The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to various sounds. In one task they had to remember a list of eight consonant (辅音) letters, which were dictated to them. Participants in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment, while listening to music they liked, and while listening to music they didn’t like. The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration. “Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still interfere with your work. This would appear to contradict the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A．Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once advocated allocating over $ 100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state. Another study seemed to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are distracting. So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music! 32．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To prove that Mozart’s music boosts IQ. B．To recommend the best music for studying. C．To compare different types of background sounds. D．To indicate that silence is better for concentration than music. 33．What can be inferred about the “Mozart Effect”? A．It only works for children under 18. B．It was first discovered by a governor. C．It may have been overestimated by the public. D．It has been proven to enhance adult intelligence. 34．The underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________. A．Disturbing B．favorable C．remarkable D．discouraging 35．What does the author imply about background music? A．It best aids creative work. B．Its effects are inconsistent across studies. C．It enhances performance in concentration tasks. D．It affects people differently based on preference. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Did you know that Einstein, Churchill and da Vinci were fans of afternoon naps? There was a time when napping during the day was labeled as lazy. 36 A short sleep — known as a power nap — can be a great way to recharge your brain and body. Today, many employers even create nap spaces to boost workers’ focus and performance. 37 Firstly, power naps significantly increase alertness and reduce daytime tiredness. Secondly, they can greatly enhance your cognitive abilities. Studies show that short naps can improve memory and help your brain organize information better. Additionally, some research suggests that power naps may even help support your immune system by reducing stress. However, to truly enjoy these, you need to master the art of the power nap. The most important rule is to keep it short — 15 to 20 minutes, staying in light sleep. 38 Waking from deep sleep may leave you more tired and dizzy than before. Time matters too: nap between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. It’s a time when many people experience a natural drop in energy after lunch. Napping too late can disturb nighttime sleep, making it harder to fall asleep at night. 39 Finally, create a quiet, dark, cool environment. Using an eye mask and earplugs can be helpful. 40 Plus, keeping the room temperature slightly cooler than usual can promote deeper relaxation. Next time you are feeling mid-afternoon tiredness, try a power nap. With the right technique, it’s a simple way to feel more energetic and focused. A．The benefits of a power nap are numerous. B．Napping for too long can lead to deep sleep. C．This is why you should avoid napping after 3 p.m. D．Besides, a well-timed nap can make you more productive. E．Today, however, the view of napping has completely shifted. F．Therefore, you should always aim to nap for at least one hour. G．It also helps to put your phone on silent to avoid being disturbed. 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston.

Sachin and I both grew up in India, where competition is fierce and pursuing 46 is prized.

When my marriage ended, I decided it was time for a different kind of life. I bought a cottage in the Idaho countryside, and prepared to start over. The property came with two elderly neighbors whose land bordered my own. Arnold was eighty-five, with weathered hands from a lifetime of work. Rena moved slowly beside him. They had a magnificent garden — rows of tomatoes, corn, and flowers in every color. But I noticed right away that it was suffering. The weeds were winning, and some rows looked untended. One afternoon, I found Arnold struggling to lift a bag of fertilizer. I carried it for him, and we stood talking for a while. “You need a garden,” Arnold said. “And I need someone to work this land. These old bones can’t do what they used to.” The arrangement made perfect sense. I would plant, irrigate, and weed. They would teach me what to do and we could share the harvest. As summer progressed, I found myself arriving earlier each day. I sweated my way through the garden. And when I sat by the creek (小河沟) for a break, I would just listen to the water. Slowly, I began to notice things I had never noticed before: the sound of wind moving through corn, the determination of a pumpkin vine pushing through dry soil. The constant noise in my head — the deadlines, the endless to-do lists — began to quiet. Arnold noticed my change, “The garden needs you. And you need it, too.” He was right. 续写第一段开头：​ One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________续写第二段开头：​ By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027年高考一轮复习培优阶段性检测卷（全国一卷01） 英语·全解全析 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意：听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1． What time is it now?

C．Taking a marketing course. 20．What must be done before Sunday? A．Finalizing the selection. B．Updating the candidates. C．Confirming the next meeting. 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．C 20．A 【原文】 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. 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 Roles are available at The Conversation to offer voluntary assistance to the editorial team, covering the initial launch stage as well as daily ongoing work, designed as a work experience program.

Dan Mancina, 34,from Michigan,the US,was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at 13,a rare genetic disease and it causes loss of vision. Around five years ago,Dan lost his vision completely and now is defined as a blind person—but refuses to let it hold him back. Dan said that he was discouraged by other people’s behaviors and was determined to prove people wrong,so he started skateboarding,practiced every day,and soon he was landing trick after trick. Dan started performing tricks that some might not expect a blind person to be able to do—like throwing darts(飞镖)—but they would be wrong. He said he felt a need to prove himself to those who doubted his abilities. So Dan,who has been skateboarding since he was seven years old,recently posted a video of himself performing a trick on the Internet. The experience reminded him of his love for the sport and inspired him to continue pursuing his passion,but now his methods are somewhat different. Before skating at a park,Dan uses a stick to measure the different ramps(斜坡)and corners,and get a feel for the area. He also uses a beeper box or a Bluetooth speaker to bounce the sounds off anything in the environment—such as a nearby road—warning him of any dangers in the area. The skateboarder said, “I get a mental map of the area where I am and use every other sense I have. I'm always trying to progress and keep pushing myself further and further. I have certain goals that I want to achieve. One day I want to film full-length skateboard videos without any cuts. That’s really my goal.” 24．What happened to Dan Mancina when he was thirteen? A．He became completely blind. B．He was not allowed to skateboard. C．He suffered from a severe eye disease. D．He got injured while skateboarding. 25．Why did Dan perform complicated tricks? A．To show he could live a normal life. B．To achieve his childhood dream. C．To shoot a video about his success in life. D．To become the focus of public attention. 26．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Dan’s training field. B．Dan’s passion for sport. C．Dan’s training equipment. D．Dan’s preparations for skateboarding. 27．What can we learn from the story? A．He who laughs last laughs best. B．All that ends well is well. C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D．A good beginning makes a good ending. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．C 【导语】本文一篇记叙文，主要介绍了失明滑板手 Dan Mancina 重拾信心，坚持滑板，立志改变大众对盲人看法的故事。他坚持自己喜欢的事情，拍摄自己滑板的视频，Dan Mancina 很好地诠释了滑板运动所崇尚的永不放弃的精神。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dan Mancina, 34, from Michigan, the US, was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at 13(来自美国密歇根州的34岁的Dan Mancina在13岁时被诊断出视网膜色素变性)”可知，Dan Mancina13岁时，患上了眼疾。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“He said he felt a need to prove himself to those who doubted his abilities.(他说他觉得有必要向那些怀疑他能力的人证明自己)”可知，他表演这些复杂的绝技，目的是了向别人证明他也能像普通人一样。故选A。 26．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Before skating at a park, Dan uses a stick to measure the different ramps(斜坡)and corners, and get a feel for the area. He also uses a beeper box or a Bluetooth speaker to bounce the sounds off anything in the environment—such as a nearby road—warning him of any dangers in the area.(之前在公园滑冰，丹使用一根棍子来测量不同斜坡和角度，并熟悉地形。他还使用寻呼机或蓝牙扬声器来反射环境中的声音，比如附近的道路，以此提醒他这一地区的危险)”，可知，第四段主要讲Dan为了滑滑板，提前做了很多准备工作。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“A blind skateboarder has proven that his lack of sight won’t stop him from living a normal    life—and now he’s learned some of the most complicated tricks.(一位盲人滑板手已经证明，他的失明并不会妨碍他过正常的生活——现在他学会了一些最复杂的技巧)”可知，一位意志坚定的盲人通过自己的努力做到了常人认为不可能的事情。故选C。 C A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 28．What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A．They need much higher maintenance fees. B．Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C．Their power output might be affected by the cold. D．They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 29．Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A．They move much faster than lithium ones. B．They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C．Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D．They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 30．How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A．By quoting experts. B．By analyzing causes. C．By describing a process. D．By making comparisons. 31．What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about? A．Possible direction for future study. B．Choice of new research methods. C．Need to involve more researchers. D．Potential application of the finding. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．D 31．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了食盐中广泛含有的钠元素可用于制造钠离子电池，该电池相比锂离子电池耐寒能力更强、低温性能更优越，适合严寒环境下的电动汽车使用，但目前生产成本更高，未来需要在控成本的同时保留低温优势。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system.(在低温环境下，除非电池组配有主动加热系统，否则大多数锂离子电池只能输出原本容量的极小一部分。)” 可知，锂离子电动汽车的动力输出会受到寒冷天气的影响。 29．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does.(虽然钠离子体积更大，但它们与液态电解质形成的结合键比锂离子更弱。)”及“This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.(这使得它们比锂离子移动起来要容易得多，即便低温让电解液变得黏稠时也是如此。)” 可知，钠离子与电解质的相互作用比锂离子更微弱，因此在寒冷环境中运转表现更好。 30．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market.(实验数据表明，在零下30摄氏度时，这款电池的放电功率是同等磷酸铁锂电池的近三倍，而磷酸铁锂电池是主导电动汽车市场的平价标准版电池。)” 可知，作者通过将钠离子电池与锂离子电池进行对比，展现钠离子电池的优越性。 31．细节理解题。根据原文第五段““We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang (Phate Zhang表示：“我们应当着手研究降低成本，同时保持其在低温下的优异性能。”)” 可知，Phate Zhang提出了未来研究和发展的努力方向。 D Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results. The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to various sounds. In one task they had to remember a list of eight consonant (辅音) letters, which were dictated to them. Participants in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment, while listening to music they liked, and while listening to music they didn’t like. The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration. “Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still interfere with your work. This would appear to contradict the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A．Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once advocated allocating over $ 100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state. Another study seemed to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are distracting. So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music! 32．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To prove that Mozart’s music boosts IQ. B．To recommend the best music for studying. C．To compare different types of background sounds. D．To indicate that silence is better for concentration than music. 33．What can be inferred about the “Mozart Effect”? A．It only works for children under 18. B．It was first discovered by a governor. C．It may have been overestimated by the public. D．It has been proven to enhance adult intelligence. 34．The underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________. A．Disturbing B．favorable C．remarkable D．discouraging 35．What does the author imply about background music? A．It best aids creative work. B．Its effects are inconsistent across studies. C．It enhances performance in concentration tasks. D．It affects people differently based on preference. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】文章主要探讨了工作或学习时听音乐对集中注意力的影响，指出安静环境比音乐更有利于集中注意力。 32．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results.(音乐能帮助你集中精力工作吗？卡迪夫威尔士大学研究所的研究人员进行了一项新研究，得出了一些有趣的结果)”和第三段中“The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. (参与者在安静环境下工作时通常表现得更好)”和最后一段“So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music! (所以，如果你正在备考，关掉音乐吧！)”可知，文章通过介绍一项研究表明安静环境比音乐更有利于集中注意力。 33．推理判断题。根据第六段中“He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ.(他还认为莫扎特的音乐有助于大脑发育。后来的研究表明，古典音乐可能会提高儿童的空间智力，这导致人们普遍认为古典音乐可以提高儿童的智商)”可知，公众普遍认为“莫扎特效应”能提升智商。但根据第五段中“This would appear to contradict the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. (这似乎与研究所谓“莫扎特效应”的科学家的发现相矛盾)”和第七段中“Another study seemed to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence.(另一项研究似乎进一步反驳了音乐有助于集中注意力的观点。研究人员发现，接受调查的大学生大多更喜欢安静地学习)”可知，新的研究结果与“莫扎特效应”相矛盾，发现安静环境更有利于集中注意力。由此可推知，“莫扎特效应”可能被公众高估了。 34．词句猜测题。根据第七段“Another study seemed to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are distracting.(另一项研究似乎进一步反驳了音乐有助于集中注意力的观点。研究人员发现，接受调查的大学生大多喜欢在安静的环境中学习。那些听音乐的人更喜欢器乐，他们说有歌词会让人distracting)”可知，有歌词的音乐不利于集中注意力，会让人分心。故划线词distracting与A项“disturbing(打扰；干扰)”意思相近。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. (参与者在安静环境下工作时通常表现得更好)”和第四段中“So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still interfere with your work. (因此，即使你在听自己喜欢的音乐，它仍然会干扰你的工作)”表明威尔士大学的研究发现背景音乐(无论喜欢与否)会干扰记忆表现；第五段中“This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. (这个概念是由法国科学家阿尔弗雷德·A·托马提斯博士于1991年发明的。Tomatis出版了一本书《为什么是莫扎特？》，书中描述了他相信听莫扎特的音乐有治愈的力量)”和第六段中“Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. (后来的研究表明它可能提高儿童的空间智力，导致人们普遍认为古典音乐能提升孩子的智商)”表明“莫扎特效应”则认为特定的古典音乐可能有益于儿童大脑发育；第七段中“Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are distracting. (那些听音乐的学生更喜欢器乐，他们说歌词会分散注意力)”表明另一项研究则显示多数学生实际上偏好安静的学习环境。这些关于背景音乐的发现彼此之间并不一致，甚至存在矛盾，因此，作者暗示了背景音乐的影响在不同的研究中是不一致的。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Did you know that Einstein, Churchill and da Vinci were fans of afternoon naps? There was a time when napping during the day was labeled as lazy. 36 A short sleep — known as a power nap — can be a great way to recharge your brain and body. Today, many employers even create nap spaces to boost workers’ focus and performance. 37 Firstly, power naps significantly increase alertness and reduce daytime tiredness. Secondly, they can greatly enhance your cognitive abilities. Studies show that short naps can improve memory and help your brain organize information better. Additionally, some research suggests that power naps may even help support your immune system by reducing stress. However, to truly enjoy these, you need to master the art of the power nap. The most important rule is to keep it short — 15 to 20 minutes, staying in light sleep. 38 Waking from deep sleep may leave you more tired and dizzy than before. Time matters too: nap between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. It’s a time when many people experience a natural drop in energy after lunch. Napping too late can disturb nighttime sleep, making it harder to fall asleep at night. 39 Finally, create a quiet, dark, cool environment. Using an eye mask and earplugs can be helpful. 40 Plus, keeping the room temperature slightly cooler than usual can promote deeper relaxation. Next time you are feeling mid-afternoon tiredness, try a power nap. With the right technique, it’s a simple way to feel more energetic and focused. A．The benefits of a power nap are numerous. B．Napping for too long can lead to deep sleep. C．This is why you should avoid napping after 3 p.m. D．Besides, a well-timed nap can make you more productive. E．Today, however, the view of napping has completely shifted. F．Therefore, you should always aim to nap for at least one hour. G．It also helps to put your phone on silent to avoid being disturbed. 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．B 39．C 40．G 【导语】文章主要讲述了小睡的好处以及如何正确地进行小睡。 36．根据上文“There was a time when napping during the day was labeled as lazy.(曾经，白天小睡被贴上懒惰的标签。)”和下文“A short sleep — known as a power nap — can be a great way to recharge your brain and body.(短时睡眠，也就是我们所说的高效小憩，是给大脑和身体快速充电的绝佳方式。)”可知，上文讲过去对午睡的负面看法，下文讲现在午睡的好处。E选项“如今，人们对午睡的看法已经完全转变。”衔接过去与现在的观念对比，承上启下。 37．本段为总分结构，空格处是段落中心句。下文“Firstly…Secondly…Additionally…(首先……其次……此外……)”分层列举午睡的各类好处。A选项“高效小憩的好处数不胜数。” 总述好处多，完美引出后文分点论述。 38．根据上文“The most important rule is to keep it short — 15 to 20 minutes, staying in light sleep.(最重要的规则是短时午睡，保持浅睡眠。)”和下文“Waking from deep sleep may leave you more tired and dizzy.(从深度睡眠中醒来会更疲惫头晕。)”可知，上文强调要短、浅睡眠；下文讲深睡眠醒来的危害。B选项“午睡时间过长会进入深度睡眠。”衔接“时长过长”和“深度睡眠”，符合语境。 39．上文“Napping too late can disturb nighttime sleep, making it harder to fall asleep at night.(午睡过晚，会打乱夜间睡眠，导致夜晚难以入睡。)” 提到午睡过晚的弊端，C选项“这就是为什么要避免下午3点后午睡。”中This指代上文“午睡太晚影响晚睡”，得出“避开3点后午睡”的结论，逻辑承接紧密。 40．根据上文“create a quiet, dark, cool environment. Using an eye mask and earplugs can be helpful.(营造安静昏暗凉爽环境，眼罩、耳塞很有用。)”和下文“Plus, keeping the room temperature slightly cooler than usual can promote deeper relaxation.(除此之外，适当调低室温，也能让人更好地放松身心。)”可知，本段主题为舒适午睡环境，上下文都在列举营造安静环境的具体做法。G选项“把手机调至静音避免被打扰也很有帮助。”是另一种减少打扰的方式，also helps与上文用法一致，并列衔接。 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston. I sat in the sofa, staring at a 41 Word document. My paper proposal deadline drew near. I hadn’t written a word despite weeks of thinking. Earlier that evening, when I met another Ph.D．student, Sachin, he was equally 42 — buried under the weight of a fellowship application. So, we made an 43 : After dinner, we would sit together, laptops open, phones away. It was the push I needed to finally start writing. I always 44 writing tasks, waiting for the perfect moment for thoughts to flow. But that moment never really arrives, and I end up with a 45 written piece only when the deadline becomes dangerously close. Sachin and I both grew up in India, where competition is fierce and pursuing 46 is prized. We carried a perfectionist mindset into graduate school, and new pressures made us want faultless first drafts, but the result was a 47 . Having someone beside me 48 everything. It was a means to ensure 49 . Our informal agreement soon became a 50 . We scheduled weekly 90-minute sessions for focused writing, setting a small goal each time — it made the sessions surprisingly 51 . Small wins built momentum (动力) and 52 . Writing never got easy, but it became less 53 . Later, we launched peer co-working sessions for other students. What began as two stuck students soon became a small 54 . Our experience showed us that responsibility, companionship, and a shared sense of 55 can lower the barriers that make writing so frightening.

The café 58 (run) by two young people starting fresh in the countryside after leaving their city jobs. Down the mountain, our second stop rests by a shallow riverbank. 59 (satisfy) various consumption demands, the owners of cafés also innovate new items like bakery and cultural products. Baking bread, designing products, and taking 60 (photo) for visitors... Here,the young people from big cities are choosing to settle among the mountains and rivers, using creativity and 61 (enthusiastic) to revitalize (振兴) the rural communities.

When my marriage ended, I decided it was time for a different kind of life. I bought a cottage in the Idaho countryside, and prepared to start over. The property came with two elderly neighbors whose land bordered my own. Arnold was eighty-five, with weathered hands from a lifetime of work. Rena moved slowly beside him. They had a magnificent garden — rows of tomatoes, corn, and flowers in every color. But I noticed right away that it was suffering. The weeds were winning, and some rows looked untended. One afternoon, I found Arnold struggling to lift a bag of fertilizer. I carried it for him, and we stood talking for a while. “You need a garden,” Arnold said. “And I need someone to work this land. These old bones can’t do what they used to.” The arrangement made perfect sense. I would plant, irrigate, and weed. They would teach me what to do and we could share the harvest. As summer progressed, I found myself arriving earlier each day. I sweated my way through the garden. And when I sat by the creek (小河沟) for a break, I would just listen to the water. Slowly, I began to notice things I had never noticed before: the sound of wind moving through corn, the determination of a pumpkin vine pushing through dry soil. The constant noise in my head — the deadlines, the endless to-do lists — began to quiet. Arnold noticed my change, “The garden needs you. And you need it, too.” He was right. 续写第一段开头：​ One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________续写第二段开头：​ By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 One morning, I arrived to find the creek had flooded the garden overnight. The water had carried away vegetables, submerged young tomato plants and bent corn stalks, leaving mud and broken stems scattered everywhere. I stood shaking with despair. Arnold appeared silently, steady and reassuring, “We’ll start from the beginning again.” His calm shocked me. Together we removed water with buckets, replanted what we could, and mended the banks. After hours, the garden seemed to stir back to life. By autumn, the garden had yielded a rich harvest. Pumpkins lined the paths; red tomatoes clustered on heavy vines. I walked through, filling my basket with beans and corn, and felt the emptiness in my heart fade. When I looked up, I saw Arnold leaning on the fence, wiping sweat from his weathered hands. Beside him, Rena sat on a wooden bench, watching with still peace. The setting sun cast a golden glow. In that moment, I understood this garden was my second chance — I had learned to restart bravely and keep going, no matter what. 【导语】本文以主人公从城市搬到乡村后与邻居共同打理花园的经历为线索展开，讲述了主人公在花园被洪水破坏后与邻居一起重建花园，最终迎来丰收，并学会了勇敢面对困难并重新开始的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写洪水带来的破坏、主人公的绝望以及邻居的冷静安慰，随后两人合作，使花园重获生机。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写秋天花园丰收的景象，以及主人公在收获过程中内心的变化。 2.续写线索：洪水破坏花园——主人公绝望——邻居冷静安慰——共同重建花园——花园重获生机——秋天丰收——主人公感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①冲走：carried away/washed away/swept away ②排水：removed water/drained water ③漫步：walked through/moved through/strolled through 情绪类： ①绝望地颤抖：shaking with despair/trembling with hopelessness/quivering in anguish ②沉静安宁：still peace/quiet contentment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Together we removed water with buckets, replanted what we could, and mended the banks.（由连接代词what引导的宾语从句作replanted的宾语） [高分句型2] When I looked up, I saw Arnold leaning on the fence, wiping sweat from his weathered hands.（由when引导时间状语从句；现在分词短语leaning on作宾语补足语；句末现在分词短语wiping sweat作伴随状语） 1 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。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.
