Scholastic Children’s Dictionary Not only does the Scholastic Children ’s Dictionary ($ 16.36) have definitions for tens of thousands of words, but it also includes guides to grammar, geography, and US presidents. It’s a perfect reference book for children in grades 3-7. ● Kid-friendly pronunciation guides ● Helpful example sentences ● Up-to-date technology, scientific and cultural terms The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary ($13.95) is a dictionary for children in grades 3-6, with vocabulary suitable for children, easy-to-understand definitions, lively example sentences, and enjoyable color pictures. ● Detailed world maps ● A valuable tool for teachers ● Handy for homeschooling Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary Written for young ones in grades 3-5, the Merriam-Webster s Elementary Dictionary ($14.49) makes its explanations richer by sentences taken from children’s literature, and has pronunciation paragraphs for each letter. ● Provides synonym (同义词) ● Explores Greek and Latin roots ● History of many words My First Dictionary This is the perfect go-to reference book for children ages 5 and up.

He told his wife,Sally, he would“start out as an adventure cyclist.” Four months later, he set off on a 13,000 km cycle ride from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia to Edinburgh, much of it roughly shadowing Marco Polo’s Silk Road. No sooner had he started out than a snowstorm hit. He hid in his tent, wearing every item of clothing he had packed. At -18℃ it was too cold to go outside to cook. He survived the next 48 hours by eating a massive bag of chocolates. So it is a surprise to hear Collingwood say that he has never feared for his life. “Never. There’s always something to be curious about,” he says. In 2018, he rode from Edinburgh to Istanbul to earn a place in Guinness World Records. “There are very few records a man over 60 can break,” he says. During the trip, he got a dozen flat tyres. But he fixed each one. “I’ve always been serious about purpose. If something is to be done, it is to be done properly. People go forwards and people go backwards.The difficult bit is managing the times when people go backwards,” he says. “Don’t let the moment ruin the whole thing.” He turns 71 this year. He is about to begin the 1,407 km trip to John O’ Groats. It sounds tough but he insists “it’s just a matter of spinning (转) the wheels.” Still, they don’t spin on their own. His daughter — a yoga teacher — has suggested weights to maintain muscle mass. His son, a cyclist, keeps him up to speed on the latest technology. Collingwood is planning new rides in France next year, and beyond that hopes “to spread my wings further. There is peace on a bicycle,” he says. “The joy is the actual doing of the activity. Going further means you’re just doing more of something you enjoy.” 4. What happened to Collingwood when his first journey had just started? A. He lost his way in Mongolia. B. He got trapped in heavy snow. C. He had nothing to satisfy his hunger. D. He had no clothes to protect himself from the cold 5. Which of the following can best describe Collingwood? A. Courageous and determined. B. Generous and demanding. C. Curious and imaginative. D. Unusual and scholarly. 6. How did Collingwood’s son help him? A. By checking his physical condition. B. By planning the routes for him. C. By giving him technical support. D. By accompanying him on the way. 7. What does Collingwood say about cycling? A. It contributes to his health. B. It helps him kill boring time. C. It calls for careful planning. D. It carries his joy forward. C Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don't wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn't leave you filled with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling. Then what is awe? Psychologists Dacher Keltner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience. And it usually helps expand the person's understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political leader whose power seems limitless. In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it? How does it work? What seems awesome, and why? For the first time, they're starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us. When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like when we're feeling it? Emotions come with facial expressions. Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. They also opened their mouths and dropped their jaws. Another question was the purpose of the emotion. “We developed emotions to help us deal with and survive certain dangers," explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner's lab, “When people are scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough." In the same way, awe should have some sort of reason for existing. So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study also shows that awe promotes generosity. It improves people's moral decision making. A paper still under review indicates that awe can make people more modest, too. “We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think," says one of the researchers, Rudd, “We meet something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation, and as a result we open up to connecting to other people. But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.” 8. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe? A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant. B. Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar. C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day. D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting. 9. What does the underlined part “they were on track” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. They came across unexpected data. B. They were anxious about the result. C. They changed their research methods. D. They were right about what they had thought. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear. B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it. C. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it. D. We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive. 11. What's the author's purpose of writing this passage? A. To move readers with touching stories about awe. B. To explain what awe is and what it brings to people. C. To show awe functions differently from other emotions. D. To persuade readers to experience awe as much as possible. D What’s black and white and read all over? Newspapers used to be the answer. But now, they’ve lost their appeal for many. In a recent survey, only 19% of young people aged 18 to 34 said they read newspapers daily. Instead, 37% prefer local TV news, while 44% turn to online news sites. The way we get news has clearly changed. Just a generation or two ago, the newspaper was the main way in which many people got their news. But now, “there’s a revolution in the way young people access news”, says media consultant Merrill Brown. Nearly every home has at least one TV set. There’s high-speed, wireless Internet access in many cafés. Cell phones handle text messages and can take pictures and download e-mails. You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. One problem is that many news organizations refuse to see the potential of the Web, says new media specialist Bob Cauthorn. For those who do, however, the Internet is rapidly changing the way journalists work. Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end. With web pages, you can zero in on the things you’re interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people’s reactions to a topic, or start a blog — a type of online diary — to express your own views and collect comments. In this world of “new media”, straight lines no longer apply, says Jane Ellen Stevens, a multimedia journalist. “It’s not 1, 2, 3, 4,” she says, “but this, that, and another.” Raised on MTV and video games, today’s kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, instant access to information, and the chance to interact in real time, even when they’re reading about serious issues. If newspapers can’t find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely. 12. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed? A. By comparing data. B. By creating dialogues. C. By listing examples. D. By explaining reasons. 13. What can be inferred from Brown’s words? A. Processing news is revolutionary. B. Traditional ways of getting news are no longer mainstream. C. TV sets started the fashion of mass media. D. It takes long to deliver newspapers to readers. 14. What message does paragraph 3 want to convey? A. Following links to resources is promising. B. Much remains to be done on the webpage. C. New technologies have changed news delivery. D. New media allows more freedom and choices. 15. How does the author feel about newspapers’ future? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. 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。 Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____16____ It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them. Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____17____ Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt. ____18____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside.

Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____19____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain. If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____20____. It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements. While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of a self-care routine. A. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix. B. That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding. C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors. D. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment. E. Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits. F. These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud. G. Research shows a connection between earthing and measurable improvements in these health issues. 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。 Five years ago, I woke up after a six-hour operation.

If there was a chance to be silly, he would take it without hesitation. He loved hiding toys, spinning in dizzy circles beneath the old oak tree while chasing squirrels, and running away just far enough to make people chase him. Whenever he put on one of his little performances, Mrs. Carter, the lady next door, would lean over the fence, watching the naughty dog and shaking her head. Yet all it took to turn this little rebel (调皮鬼) into a perfect gentleman was a spoonful of peanut butter or his old tennis ball. Watching his playful nature every day, his owner Mikaela thought it might be fun to capture the world from Elvis’s point of view. So one day she bought a small GoPro camera (运动相机) and a special harness that a dog could wear. She imagined Elvis running happily while the camera recorded his little adventures. Mikaela was excited to try it, but Elvis turned out to be even more excited. On a sunny afternoon, golden light spilled across the yard, catching the edges of the bushes. The old oak tree cast shifting shadows on the grass, and a row of wildflowers swayed gently by the fence. Mikaela took Elvis outside to play and brought out the new camera. The moment Elvis saw the shiny little device, his eyes sparkled. Mikaela had barely held it out before Elvis snatched it away as quickly as a shark grabbing its food. “Oh no, not again!” Mrs. Carter called out from behind the fence. Before Mikaela could react, Elvis was racing across the yard with the GoPro in his mouth. “Hey! Elvis!” Mikaela shouted, running after him. But the more she chased him, the faster he ran. And the GoPro just stayed on the whole time! 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥市第八中学2026届高三保温训练 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

He told his wife,Sally, he would“start out as an adventure cyclist.” Four months later, he set off on a 13,000 km cycle ride from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia to Edinburgh, much of it roughly shadowing Marco Polo’s Silk Road. No sooner had he started out than a snowstorm hit. He hid in his tent, wearing every item of clothing he had packed. At -18℃ it was too cold to go outside to cook. He survived the next 48 hours by eating a massive bag of chocolates. So it is a surprise to hear Collingwood say that he has never feared for his life. “Never. There’s always something to be curious about,” he says. In 2018, he rode from Edinburgh to Istanbul to earn a place in Guinness World Records. “There are very few records a man over 60 can break,” he says. During the trip, he got a dozen flat tyres. But he fixed each one. “I’ve always been serious about purpose. If something is to be done, it is to be done properly. People go forwards and people go backwards.The difficult bit is managing the times when people go backwards,” he says. “Don’t let the moment ruin the whole thing.” He turns 71 this year. He is about to begin the 1,407 km trip to John O’ Groats. It sounds tough but he insists “it’s just a matter of spinning (转) the wheels.” Still, they don’t spin on their own. His daughter — a yoga teacher — has suggested weights to maintain muscle mass. His son, a cyclist, keeps him up to speed on the latest technology. Collingwood is planning new rides in France next year, and beyond that hopes “to spread my wings further. There is peace on a bicycle,” he says. “The joy is the actual doing of the activity. Going further means you’re just doing more of something you enjoy.” 4. What happened to Collingwood when his first journey had just started? A. He lost his way in Mongolia. B. He got trapped in heavy snow. C. He had nothing to satisfy his hunger. D. He had no clothes to protect himself from the cold 5. Which of the following can best describe Collingwood? A. Courageous and determined. B. Generous and demanding. C. Curious and imaginative. D. Unusual and scholarly. 6. How did Collingwood’s son help him? A. By checking his physical condition. B. By planning the routes for him. C. By giving him technical support. D. By accompanying him on the way. 7. What does Collingwood say about cycling? A. It contributes to his health. B. It helps him kill boring time. C. It calls for careful planning. D. It carries his joy forward. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了退休后的Len Collingwood进行冒险自行车之旅的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“No sooner had he started out than a snowstorm hit. He hid in his tent, wearing every item of clothing he had packed. At -18C it was too cold to go outside to cook. He survived the next 48 hours by eating a massive bag of chocolates.(他刚出发，暴风雪就来了。他躲在帐篷里，穿着他打包好的每一件衣服。零下18摄氏度的天气太冷了，不能出去做饭。在接下来的48小时里，他吃了一大袋巧克力)”可知，Collingwood刚开始第一次旅行就被困在暴雪中，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“So it is a surprise to hear Collingwood say that he has never feared for his life.(因此，听到Collingwood说他从来没有为自己的生命担心过，真是令人吃惊)”和第五段中“He turns 71 this year. He is about to begin the 1,407 km trip to John O’ Groats. It sounds tough but he insists ‘it’s just a matter of spinning (转) the wheels.’(他今年71岁了。他即将开始1407公里的John O’ Groats之旅。这听起来很难，但他坚持认为‘这只是转动轮子的问题。’)”可知，Collingwood不畏艰难，勇于冒险且意志坚定。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“His son, a cyclist, keeps him up to speed on the latest technology.(他的儿子是一名自行车手，他让他了解最新的科技)”可知，Collingwood的儿子通过提供一些技术支持来帮助Collingwood。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The joy is the actual doing of the activity. Going further means you’re just doing more of something you enjoy.(快乐是实际做这项活动的过程。走得更远意味着你在做更多你喜欢的事情)”可知，Collingwood说自行车骑行把他的快乐带向远方，故选D。 C Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don't wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn't leave you filled with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling. Then what is awe? Psychologists Dacher Keltner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience. And it usually helps expand the person's understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political leader whose power seems limitless. In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it? How does it work? What seems awesome, and why? For the first time, they're starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us. When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like when we're feeling it? Emotions come with facial expressions. Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. They also opened their mouths and dropped their jaws. Another question was the purpose of the emotion. “We developed emotions to help us deal with and survive certain dangers," explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner's lab, “When people are scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough." In the same way, awe should have some sort of reason for existing. So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study also shows that awe promotes generosity. It improves people's moral decision making. A paper still under review indicates that awe can make people more modest, too. “We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think," says one of the researchers, Rudd, “We meet something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation, and as a result we open up to connecting to other people. But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.” 8. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe? A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant. B. Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar. C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day. D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting. 9. What does the underlined part “they were on track” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. They came across unexpected data. B. They were anxious about the result. C. They changed their research methods. D. They were right about what they had thought. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear. B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it. C. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it. D. We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive. 11. What's the author's purpose of writing this passage? A. To move readers with touching stories about awe. B. To explain what awe is and what it brings to people. C. To show awe functions differently from other emotions. D. To persuade readers to experience awe as much as possible. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是敬畏，敬畏给人类带来的积极影响以及人类对于敬畏所持态度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience.（这意味着敬畏来自于比个人或经历更大的事物。）”和“For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. ”（例如，敬畏可能来自于看到一座比自己想象中更高的山）可知，人们会向比自己或经历更大的事物表达敬畏。D选项中自然环境中的大象可能比我们想象的要大，会让我们产生敬畏。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit.（凯尔特纳和两个同事猜测，一个充满敬畏的人会睁大眼睛，抬起头、眼睛和眉毛，只是一点点。）”及“When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes.（他们要求人们表现出敬畏时，他们发现人们确实经常扬起眉毛，睁大眼睛。）”可知，Keltner和他的同事进行的猜测是正确的，因此可推测they were on track意为“他们的想法是正确的”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段“So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others.（到目前为止，似乎敬畏的目的可以把人们聚在一起。当人们感到敬畏时，他们会觉得时间不知何故慢了下来，当他们感到敬畏时，他们会更愿意用它来帮助别人。）”及最后一段“But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.（但如果你把自己关在自己的小世界里，就很难体验到那种感觉。走出去接触新鲜事物，你更有可能遇到令人敬畏的东西）”可推测，敬畏对社会有帮助，我们应该对此持开放态度。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“What is it? How does it work? What seems awesome, and why? For the first time, they're starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us.（它是什么?它是如何工作的?什么看起来很棒?为什么?第一次，他们开始理解敬畏对我们的影响以及它可能对我们的影响。）”及全文内容可推断，作者写此文的目的主要解释什么是敬畏，它给人们带来了什么。故选B项。 D What’s black and white and read all over? Newspapers used to be the answer. But now, they’ve lost their appeal for many. In a recent survey, only 19% of young people aged 18 to 34 said they read newspapers daily. Instead, 37% prefer local TV news, while 44% turn to online news sites. The way we get news has clearly changed. Just a generation or two ago, the newspaper was the main way in which many people got their news. But now, “there’s a revolution in the way young people access news”, says media consultant Merrill Brown. Nearly every home has at least one TV set. There’s high-speed, wireless Internet access in many cafés. Cell phones handle text messages and can take pictures and download e-mails. You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. One problem is that many news organizations refuse to see the potential of the Web, says new media specialist Bob Cauthorn. For those who do, however, the Internet is rapidly changing the way journalists work. Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end. With web pages, you can zero in on the things you’re interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people’s reactions to a topic, or start a blog — a type of online diary — to express your own views and collect comments. In this world of “new media”, straight lines no longer apply, says Jane Ellen Stevens, a multimedia journalist. “It’s not 1, 2, 3, 4,” she says, “but this, that, and another.” Raised on MTV and video games, today’s kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, instant access to information, and the chance to interact in real time, even when they’re reading about serious issues. If newspapers can’t find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely. 12. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed? A. By comparing data. B. By creating dialogues. C. By listing examples. D. By explaining reasons. 13. What can be inferred from Brown’s words? A. Processing news is revolutionary. B. Traditional ways of getting news are no longer mainstream. C. TV sets started the fashion of mass media. D. It takes long to deliver newspapers to readers. 14. What message does paragraph 3 want to convey? A. Following links to resources is promising. B. Much remains to be done on the webpage. C. New technologies have changed news delivery. D. New media allows more freedom and choices. 15. How does the author feel about newspapers’ future? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了如今年轻人获取新闻的方式发生巨大变化，传统报纸吸引力下降，新媒体依托互联网拥有诸多优势，若报纸不创新未来或将彻底消失。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a recent survey, only 19% of young people aged 18 to 34 said they read newspapers daily. Instead, 37% prefer local TV news, while 44% turn to online news sites.(在最近的一项调查中，年龄在18至34岁之间的年轻人中，仅有19%的人表示每天都会阅读报纸。相反，37%的人更喜欢本地电视台的新闻，而44%的人则会浏览在线新闻网站)”可推知，第一段通过对比三组调查数据展开行文。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Just a generation or two ago, the newspaper was the main way in which many people got their news. But now, “there’s a revolution in the way young people access news”, says media consultant Merrill Brown.(就在上几代人之前，报纸是许多人获取新闻的主要途径。但如今，“年轻人获取新闻的方式发生了变革”，媒体顾问梅里尔·布朗如是说)”可知，获取新闻的方式变革意味着传统读报获取新闻的方式不再是主流。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“With web pages, you can zero in on the things you’re interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people’s reactions to a topic, or start a blog — a type of online diary — to express your own views and collect comments.(通过网页，你可以专注于自己感兴趣的内容，然后点击链接访问其他资源。你可以加入讨论组，阅读其他人对某个话题的反应，或者开设博客——一种在线日记的形式——来表达自己的观点并收集评论)”可知，新媒体给读者带来更多选择与表达自由。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“If newspapers can’t find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely.(一些专家认为，如果报纸不能想出更具创新性的办法，使其不仅仅停留在纸张上的文字形式上，那么它们可能会彻底消失)”可推知，作者对报纸的未来抱有担忧。 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。 Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____16____ It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them. Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____17____ Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt. ____18____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk. Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____19____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain. If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____20____. It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements. While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of a self-care routine. A. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix. B. That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding. C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors. D. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment. E. Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits. F. These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud. G. Research shows a connection between earthing and measurable improvements in these health issues. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. C 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“接地疗法”的概念、具体方式、室内替代方案、对身心健康的益处，以及尝试该疗法时需要注意的相关事项。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand?(你赤脚在草地或沙滩上散步后，会不会感觉稍微放松一些？)” 以及空后一句“It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them.(这是一种健康养生方式，能让人体与地球直接相连，并利用地球自然电荷稳定身体状态。)”可知，前文提出赤脚行走放松的问题，后文解释这种养生方式，空处需要引出接地疗法这一概念；选项B“That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding.(这就是接地疗法背后的理念，也被称为大地接地养生法。)” 衔接前后语境，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact.(接地疗法重在通过直接或间接接触，让自身能量与大地重新连通。)”以及空后“Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers.(试着让赤脚直接接触地面，用心感受脚下大地的触感。玩一玩泥土：俯身挖土，让泥土从指间流过。)”可知，前文总说接地的接触方式，后文列举具体做法，空处应总述这类具体方法；选项F“These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud.(这些方法包括在草地、沙滩或泥土上散步。)” 承接上文、引出下文。 【18题详解】 根据空后“That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk.(这可以替代你在户外赤脚所能获得的直接大地连接。接地地毯、毛毯和袜子，通过模拟户外自然行走时的身体连通方式，把大地的自然电流引入家中或办公室。)” 可知，后文讲述室内替代接地方式，空处应引出室内接地的话题；选项C“When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors.(当无法外出时，可在室内进行接地养生。)”与后文内容紧密呼应。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being.(接地疗法是一种免费且相对简单、能积极影响身心健康的方式。)”以及空后“Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep.(研究显示，使用四周接地地毯的人疲惫感、睡眠障碍减少，睡眠时间有所提升。)”可知，前文点明有益健康，后文用研究举例佐证，空处可补充适宜的养生时长；选项E“Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits.(专家建议30分钟就足以开始享受它带来的益处。)” 衔接自然。 【20题详解】 根据前文“If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember.(如果你想尝试接地疗法，有几点重要事项需要牢记。)”以及空后“It requires patience and perseverance.(这需要耐心和坚持。)” 可知，后文强调需要耐心坚持，说明这种疗法不能立刻见效；选项A“Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix.(和其他调理方式一样，接地疗法并非立竿见影。)” 契合后文需要耐心坚持的语境。 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。 Five years ago, I woke up after a six-hour operation.

If there was a chance to be silly, he would take it without hesitation. He loved hiding toys, spinning in dizzy circles beneath the old oak tree while chasing squirrels, and running away just far enough to make people chase him. Whenever he put on one of his little performances, Mrs. Carter, the lady next door, would lean over the fence, watching the naughty dog and shaking her head. Yet all it took to turn this little rebel (调皮鬼) into a perfect gentleman was a spoonful of peanut butter or his old tennis ball. Watching his playful nature every day, his owner Mikaela thought it might be fun to capture the world from Elvis’s point of view. So one day she bought a small GoPro camera (运动相机) and a special harness that a dog could wear. She imagined Elvis running happily while the camera recorded his little adventures. Mikaela was excited to try it, but Elvis turned out to be even more excited. On a sunny afternoon, golden light spilled across the yard, catching the edges of the bushes. The old oak tree cast shifting shadows on the grass, and a row of wildflowers swayed gently by the fence. Mikaela took Elvis outside to play and brought out the new camera. The moment Elvis saw the shiny little device, his eyes sparkled. Mikaela had barely held it out before Elvis snatched it away as quickly as a shark grabbing its food. “Oh no, not again!” Mrs. Carter called out from behind the fence. Before Mikaela could react, Elvis was racing across the yard with the GoPro in his mouth. “Hey! Elvis!” Mikaela shouted, running after him. But the more she chased him, the faster he ran. And the GoPro just stayed on the whole time! 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot. She knew the camera was not cheap, and she was afraid Elvis would drop it somewhere or chew it into pieces. Elvis darted under the old oak tree, leaped over the low flower bed by the fence, and paused for a second to bark playfully at Mrs. Carter before dashing toward her open garden gate. By the time Mikaela caught up to him at the far end of Mrs. Carter’s rose bush, Elvis had plopped down on the grass, wagging his tail like he had just won a great game. He even dropped the camera at Mikaela’s feet as if presenting a trophy, a silly grin on his furry face. When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it. Much to her surprise, the camera was still in one piece, and it had recorded the entire run. She pulled up the footage to watch: the shaking grass, the swaying wildflowers blurring past, Mrs. Carter’s laughing face leaning in, and even the close-up of Elvis’s paws pounding on the grass. It was exactly the playful, wonderful adventure she had hoped to capture. When she shared the video online, it quickly went viral, and everyone fell in love with the silly, charming dog. Even Mrs. Carter kept a framed photo of Elvis taken from his own run-by shot on her kitchen windowsill. 【解析】 【导语】本文以宠物狗埃尔维斯和运动相机为线索展开，讲述了主人米凯拉想给爱犬戴相机拍它视角的冒险，埃尔维斯却抢了相机乱跑，米凯拉连忙追赶的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写米凯拉担心相机损坏，紧追埃尔维斯，最终埃尔维斯在卡特太太的玫瑰丛旁停下，把相机当战利品献给主人。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写米凯拉检查相机，发现完好无损还录下了完整素材，分享后走红，大家都爱上了这只淘气可爱的小狗。 2. 续写线索：担心相机——追逐埃尔维斯——狗停下献相机——检查相机发现完好——视频走红受喜爱——卡特太太也珍藏狗的照片 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①摇摆：wag/swing ②拍摄：capture/shoot 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②爱上：fall in love with/lose one’s heart to 【点睛】[高分句型1] She knew the camera was not cheap, and she was afraid Elvis would drop it somewhere or chew it into pieces.
