When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? — Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. — Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. — November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture (湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November. 2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours. C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature. 3. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍不同地区秋叶达到最佳观赏色彩的时间、树叶变色的原因以及造就绚烂秋景的各类影响因素。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You?”部分中的“Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well.(十月中下旬：中西部地区的秋叶最佳观赏期会逐步延伸至阿巴拉契亚山脉和东北部的大部分地区。西部地区的其他大部分地区，包括山谷，每年到这个时候也能看到秋天最绚烂的色彩。)”可知，西部地区的山谷在十月中下旬能观赏到秋叶的最佳色彩。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Why Do Leaves Change Color?”部分中的“A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change.(日照时间变短是树叶开始变色的主要因素。)”可知，日照时长的减少是导致树叶颜色发生变化的主要原因。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What Makes A Good Colorful Season?”部分中的“Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color.(大风预警：如果强风暴影响到即将迎来秋叶最佳观赏期的地区，那么它会在一定程度上吹落树上的叶子，降低最佳观赏期的景观效果。)”可知，强风暴可能会破坏秋叶最佳观赏期的完整景观。故选D项。 B 37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards. Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.” “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says. 4. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text? A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes. B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life. C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child. D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background. 5. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3? A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills. B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China. C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China. D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera. 6. What kind of person is Pilotti? A. Original and dedicated B. Adaptable and rigorous C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。说明了瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂受京剧启发，前往中国学习京剧，创作相关剧目，如今致力于中瑞文化交流。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.(京剧对他而言意义重大，它促使他来到中国，并激发了他对文化交流的热情)”可知，京剧彻底改变了皮洛蒂的生活。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. (“比如，我的一些同学去了印度，但我的梦想却是去中国——这简直是显而易见的事情。”他说道。2009年，他和另外两名学生来到北京的中国戏曲学院，为期六个月学习京剧)”可知，皮洛蒂说“这简直是显而易见的事情”是因为他一直梦想着去中国，所以这是一个显而易见的选择。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.(2009年，他和另外两名学生来到北京的中国戏曲学院，为期六个月学习京剧)”；第四段“Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards.(尽管他既没有汉语语言能力，也没有京剧方面的背景知识，但该学院的老师们通过严格的教学和设定高标准的方式，帮助他掌握了这一表演艺术形式的精髓)”以及第五段“He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West.(近年来，他创作了两部戏剧作品，其中包括一部关于美猴王的故事，美猴王是《西游记》中一位无所不能的角色)”可知，皮洛蒂有原创力且专注。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.(37岁的瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂蒂通过肢体喜剧将文化交流带到了舞台上。京剧对他而言意义重大，它促使他来到中国，并激发了他对文化交流的热情)”结合文章说明了瑞典演员蒂莫西·皮洛蒂受京剧启发，前往中国学习京剧，创作相关剧目，如今致力于中瑞文化交流。可知，B选项“一位热爱京剧的瑞典人”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people’s brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food. Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast — not eat anything at all — for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn’t see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren’t even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region. At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends. The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren’t hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience. 8. How does Tomova test out the result of the study? A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow. C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities. 9. What do we know about midbrain? A. It consists of two areas. B. it helps motivate desire for food. C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends. 10. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity. C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger. 11. According to the study, what similarity is found between hunger and loneliness? A. They both reduce dopamine production in the midbrain. B. They can be relieved equally by viewing pictures of food. C. They cause the brain to respond more strongly to what is missed. D. They lead to decreased interest in social activities. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项神经科学研究，该研究通过脑部扫描发现，人在饥饿时看到食物和人在孤独时看到社交活动，大脑中相同的区域（中脑）会被激活，且渴望越强烈，该区域活动越活跃，揭示了饥饿和孤独在神经机制上的相似性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.(两天的实验结束后，Tomova和她的同事们将参与者送入核磁共振扫描仪中。该设备通过追踪流向大脑各个区域的血流量来显示大脑活动。)”可知，在受试者禁食和隔离后，将其放入“MRI机器”中，通过追踪血流来监测大脑活动。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends.(中脑在人们寻求食物或朋友的动机中起着重要作用。)”可知，中脑有助于激发对食物的渴望。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.(在志愿者经历独处隔离后，当他们看到自己想念的社交活动时，这些脑区同样会变得活跃。It可能是运动或与朋友聊天。)”可知，划线词“it”指代上文提到的social activities(社交活动)，且下文“playing sports or chatting”是具体举例说明。选项B“A social activity(一项社交活动)”符合题意。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain.(但饥饿和孤独会增强这些反应，并使人们的反应专门针对他们所缺失的事物。而且志愿者自述感受到的饥饿或孤独感越强，大脑这一区域的活动就越强烈。)”可知，饥饿和孤独都会增强大脑对缺失事物的反应，且感受越强烈，大脑活动越活跃，这是两者的共同点。故选C。 D There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy. Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber. In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe. Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life. Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection. — Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed 12. Why does the writer mention colour theory? A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work. B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions. C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words. D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions. 13. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. Love is one of the most important emotions. B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together. C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions. D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity. 14. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences. B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea. C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions. D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality. 15. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”? A. Emotions are created by external events. B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts. C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us. D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕人类基本情绪的分类、组合及强度，结合理论与类比，强调情绪认知的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.(情绪的混合或对比很像艺术中的色彩。红、黄、蓝等原色混合后会形成橙、绿、紫等新色调；这些色调进一步混合，会产生红橙、黄橙等中间色，它们通常有更生动的名称，如猩红或琥珀色。)”、第三段中“1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe.(1962 年，受色轮启发，Plutchik甚至将他提出的八种基本情绪排列成一个轮盘，将对立情绪置于彼此对面（喜悦对应悲伤，惊讶对应期待）。每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。例如，喜悦的强度范围从低强度的平静，到中等强度的喜悦，最终到高强度的狂喜；愤怒同理，可从轻微的烦躁，到中等程度的愤怒，再到完全爆发的暴怒 —— 这相当于情绪中的消防车红色。基本情绪之间的 “空白区域” 由两种情绪的混合体填补：喜悦与信任结合产生爱（很像红色与黄色混合成橙色），而恐惧与惊讶结合则会产生敬畏。)”可知，作者提到色彩理论是为了说明情绪轮背后的原理。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity.(每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。)”第四段中“By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.(通过有意识地增加更多积极的情绪，比如宁静、接受和兴趣，我们不仅能增强快乐、乐观和爱的能力，还能减轻我们在生活中经历的不太有利的情绪的强度。)”可知，接纳属于积极情绪，而基本情绪可组合并形成不同强度的复杂情绪，因此接纳可能是基本情绪的混合体。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states.(虽然Plutchik的“情绪轮”可能有些简单，但它强调了情绪是沿着一个光谱存在的，强度不同，而且经常以复杂的组合出现，而不是孤立的状态。)”可知，作者认为该理论虽简化了情绪的复杂性，但传达了核心观点，即情绪存在于一个光谱中，强度不同，且常常以复杂的组合形式出现。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most.(Emotions can hijack our minds.它们让我们为行动做好准备，并且与我们的感知紧密相连。但它们也揭示了什么对我们最重要。)”可知，Paul Ekman说的“Emotions can hijack our minds”意思是情绪可以暂时控制我们，影响我们的行动和感知。故选C。 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。 Many people have fallen into the habit of neglecting to express gratitude to others and failing to take moments to appreciate the invisible yet wonderful aspects of life. ____16____ However, there are several effective tips to help cultivate a habit of gratitude.

My best friend David, also my teammate, shared this passion, and we had one hero in common: Stephen Curry. We’d stay late after practice, copying his quick crossovers and long-range shots, chatting about how cool it would be to play like him someday. Then a big loss hit me hard. It was in the game, which was tied with only 10 seconds left. I got the ball — our team’s last chance to win. But I missed the shot. We lost, and I could see disappointment on my teammates’ faces. After that, I became a different person. I kept blaming myself, and my confidence totally disappeared. David noticed my struggle right away. He practiced with me alone and wanted to encourage me, “One bad play doesn’t make you a loser.” I stared at my shoes,” I almost messed it all up. What if I do it again in the championship final?” David stepped closer, his tone soft but sharp, “Cheer up, Jimmy. Don’t let one failure hold you back. Think about our hero Curry...” He paused, eyes suddenly lighting up like he’d just had a breakthrough, without noticing my whisper “My hero Curry would think I’m a loser too.” During the training for the championship, I didn’t want to join at all. But when David told me there was a surprise waiting for me in the gym, I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go check it out. On stepping into the gym, I noticed the big screen — there was a video from Curry himself — smiling, holding a basketball, saying, “Hey, Jimmy! Mistakes aren’t losses; they’re just lessons waiting to be used. Get back out there, trust your training, and remember: even the best shooters miss. What matters is you take the next shot.” Moved but confused, how could Curry appear on the screen? Suddenly, I realized it was an AI Curry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. I grabbed my basketball and rushed to the court — no more hiding! David laughed as I joined the training, “That’s the guy I know!” Practising day in and day out helped me sharpen my skills. Every time I failed to get a point, Curry’s “next shot” pushed me. For the first time, I didn’t fear mistakes. By the time championship week started, I was ready to perform beyond everyone’s expectations with my accurate shooting and continuous efforts — self-doubt had faded into muscle memory. I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. The cheers of the crowd filling the air, I only focused on the ball. With only ten seconds left, a similar scene unfolded once again. At the moment, the powerful words of David and AI Curry echoed again in my ears. The shot didn’t just score points, for it brought back the player I’d almost lost. Not until I heard claps and cheers around me did I realize that I made it. It was my friend’s firm support and my idol’s inspiring spirit that brought the confidence back into me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为校篮球队核心球员，吉米因关键比赛错失绝杀陷入自我怀疑。好友大卫一直鼓励他，并利用AI库里的视频传递“失误是教训，重要的是投出下一球”的信念。吉米深受激励，刻苦训练重拾信心，终在冠军赛决赛相似场景中成功得分，赢回自我。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不管怎样，我深受鼓舞”可知，第一段可描写吉米深受激励，刻苦训练重拾信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“我自信地站在冠军决赛的球场上，准备全力以赴”可知，第二段可描写吉米终在冠军赛决赛相似场景中成功得分，赢回自我。 2.续写线索：受到鼓舞——刻苦训练——重拾信心——回到球场——全力以赴——成功得分——赢回自我 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向：rush to/dash to ②集中：focus on/concentrate on ③出现：unfold/emerge 情绪类 ①有力的：powerful/forceful ②恐惧：fear/scare 【点睛】[高分句型1] David laughed as I joined the training（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was my friend’s firm support and my idol’s inspiring spirit that brought the confidence back into me.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春学期常州市金坛区第一中学高一英语5月调研 （建议用时：120分钟） 第I卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? — Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. — Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. — November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture (湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November. 2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours. C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature. 3. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm. B 37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards. Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.” “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says. 4. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text? A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes. B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life. C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child. D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background. 5. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3? A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills. B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China. C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China. D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera. 6. What kind of person is Pilotti? A. Original and dedicated B. Adaptable and rigorous C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China C Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people’s brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food. Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast — not eat anything at all — for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn’t see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren’t even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region. At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends. The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren’t hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience. 8. How does Tomova test out the result of the study? A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow. C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities. 9. What do we know about midbrain? A. It consists of two areas. B. it helps motivate desire for food. C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends. 10. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity. C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger. 11. According to the study, what similarity is found between hunger and loneliness? A. They both reduce dopamine production in the midbrain. B. They can be relieved equally by viewing pictures of food. C. They cause the brain to respond more strongly to what is missed. D. They lead to decreased interest in social activities. D There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy. Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber. In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe. Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life. Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection. — Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed 12. Why does the writer mention colour theory? A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work. B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions. C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words. D.

B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together. C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions. D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity. 14. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions? A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences. B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea. C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions. D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality. 15. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”? A. Emotions are created by external events. B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts. C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us. D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking. 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。 Many people have fallen into the habit of neglecting to express gratitude to others and failing to take moments to appreciate the invisible yet wonderful aspects of life. ____16____ However, there are several effective tips to help cultivate a habit of gratitude.

For example, if you love nature, take a minute to enjoy when the sun is out. Give back. Practicing gratitude can also be giving back through charity work and service for others.

Reframing your mindset is a powerful way to bring more gratitude into your life. ____20____ For example, instead of saying or thinking “I have to go to work today,” reframe it as “I get to go to work today and use my skills and talents.” A.

My best friend David, also my teammate, shared this passion, and we had one hero in common: Stephen Curry. We’d stay late after practice, copying his quick crossovers and long-range shots, chatting about how cool it would be to play like him someday. Then a big loss hit me hard. It was in the game, which was tied with only 10 seconds left. I got the ball — our team’s last chance to win. But I missed the shot. We lost, and I could see disappointment on my teammates’ faces. After that, I became a different person. I kept blaming myself, and my confidence totally disappeared. David noticed my struggle right away. He practiced with me alone and wanted to encourage me, “One bad play doesn’t make you a loser.” I stared at my shoes,” I almost messed it all up. What if I do it again in the championship final?” David stepped closer, his tone soft but sharp, “Cheer up, Jimmy. Don’t let one failure hold you back. Think about our hero Curry...” He paused, eyes suddenly lighting up like he’d just had a breakthrough, without noticing my whisper “My hero Curry would think I’m a loser too.” During the training for the championship, I didn’t want to join at all. But when David told me there was a surprise waiting for me in the gym, I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go check it out. On stepping into the gym, I noticed the big screen — there was a video from Curry himself — smiling, holding a basketball, saying, “Hey, Jimmy! Mistakes aren’t losses; they’re just lessons waiting to be used. Get back out there, trust your training, and remember: even the best shooters miss. What matters is you take the next shot.” Moved but confused, how could Curry appear on the screen? Suddenly, I realized it was an AI Curry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, I was inspired greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stood confidently on the championship final court, ready to give my all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
