It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学). That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of. 4. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author? A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner. C. Jostein Gaarder. D. A college teacher. 5. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4? A. To compare Weiner with them. B. To give examples of great works. C. To praise their writing skills. D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book. 6. What does the author like about The Socrates Express? A. Its views on history are well-presented. B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life. C. It includes comments from readers. D. It leaves an open ending. 7. What does the author think of Weiner’s book? A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious. C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者在13岁时开始喜欢哲学，随后Weiner的书The Socrates Express唤起了作者对哲学的热爱。文章通过介绍了The Socrates Express这本书，倡导读者花时间去读这本书。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).(我13岁的时候，一个叔叔给了我一本Jostein Gaarder的《 Sophie的世界》。书里面的观点对我来说都很新奇，所以我整个夏天都在钻研那本书。它对我说话，把我带入一个哲学的世界。)”可知，Jostein Gaarder为作者打开了通往哲学的大门。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. (Weiner在每一章的开头都描述了一个城市之间火车旅行的场景，然后将每一位哲学家的著作框定在一个他们能够帮助我们做得更好的事情上。最终的结果是，我们学会了像苏格拉底一样思考，像梭罗一样看，像叔本华一样听，像尼采一样没有遗憾。)”可知，作者在第四段开头描写了Weiner书的内容，接着作者通过列举了几位伟大的哲学家来描写读完这本书后我们能从中学到的东西，由此可推知，作者列举了几位伟大的哲学家是为了帮助读者理解Weiners的书。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book abour learning to use philosophy to improve a life.(这不仅仅是一本关于理解哲学的书，更是一本关于学习运用哲学来改善生活的书。)”可知，作者喜欢The Socrates Express这本书，是因为它的思想可以应用到日常生活中。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He makes philosopical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor.(他使哲学思想成为一种有吸引力的练习，可以提高我们经验的质量，而且他在做这件事的时候充满了幽默感。)”可知，Weiners的书很幽默，根据最后一段中“The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. (The Socrates Express是一本有趣而尖锐的书，它以其表面上的简单吸引着读者，并逐渐将他们拉进对欲望、孤独和衰老的深层思考中。)”可知，Weiners的书简单易懂，由此可知，Weiners的书既幽默又简单易懂。故选D。 【点睛】 C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 8. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 9. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 10. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知，矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作；结合常识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(Eschewing化肥和电动工具，它基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知，要像大自然那样进行园艺种植，让大自然自身承接更多的工作，就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”，与“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后，当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知，引入矩阵种植的想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf的花园推广了这种风格，在种植组合中增添了艺术气息，同时玩转色彩和形态，四季都有看点，还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知，Piet Oudolf的花园有艺术气息，很有品味。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具，基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少，花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段：化肥、分株、定期浇水。与传统花园地块相比，它们增加了碳吸收，减少了雨水径流，并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样性)”可知，文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法，它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态，未来园艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然的)”能概括文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature. Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician's success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter. Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician's words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball. Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示)another object that has not been cut or burned. 12. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a magic show. B. To teach people to be magicians. C. To explain the art of magic. D. To praise the talents of magicians. 13. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick? A. Moving stage equipment. B. Directing the audience's attention. C. Applying high technology. D. Keeping the performance in secret. 14. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs? A. Providing examples. B. Making a summary. C. Drawing comparisons. D. Explaining a concept. 15. What can we infer from the text? A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B. Most magicians employ assistants. C. It takes practice to perform magic. D. Small objects are magicians' favourite. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些魔术师表演的细节以及有关魔术的小技巧。 【12题详解】 目的意图题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两端讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔法的艺术。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。通过第二段“ the use of psychology is important.（心理学的应用是很重要的）”以及“The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.（魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。）”可知，作者强调对于观众注意力的引导是很重要。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“For example the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.(例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个下面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色)”以及最后一段“What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.(实际发生的是，魔术师通过在观众观看其他东西时迅速隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失)”可以推知，在文章最后两段中，作者举了两个例子。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第一段“The magician is a specially trained actor.( 魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”可推知，表演魔术需要练习。故选C项。 第二节 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。 Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. ____16____ Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness. When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. ____17____ They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation. Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. ____18____ Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges. ____19____ They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community. In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. ____20____ A. They tend to slip our attention. B. Microconnections are also two-way streets. C. People are eager for connection with others. D. Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals. E. Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world. F. Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences. G. So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. F 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了何为微人际联结，阐述其能舒缓压力、开阔眼界、凝聚社群等诸多益处，呼吁人们主动送出善意，建立温暖的日常小联结。 【16题详解】 空格后出现转折词Yet，表示前后语义相反。后文“Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.( 但它们的重要性远超我们的认知范围。)”明确指出“它们的重要性远超我们的认知”，因此前文必然是说“我们容易忽视这些微连接”。A选项“They tend to slip our attention.( 它们往往会从我们的注意力中溜走。)”与后文形成完美的转折逻辑，且“slip our attention”与后文“goes far beyond our awareness”构成同义呼应。 【17题详解】 空格前“When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. (当人们与陌生人建立微小的联系时，他们大脑中的多巴胺水平会升高，而身体中的压力化学物质则会减少。其结果是，人们会感到更加愉悦。)”讲述了微连接对个人的生理和心理益处（增加多巴胺、减少压力、提升幸福感），空格后“They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.( 它们使双方获得更积极的心态和更大的放松。)”则提到“它们能让双方都获得更积极的心态和更大的放松”。这里的“both parties（双方）”是关键线索，说明微连接的好处是双向的。B选项“Microconnections are also two-way streets(.微连接也是双向道。)”恰好起到了承上启下的作用，从个人受益过渡到双方受益。 【18题详解】 空格后出现因果连词Thus，表示前文是后文的原因。后文“Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world.( 因此，与他们进行短暂的接触就能带来全新的精神滋养，并拓宽您对世界的看法。)”指出“与他们的短暂接触能带来全新的精神滋养，拓宽你对世界的看法”，那么为什么陌生人能带来新的视角呢？F选项“Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.( 那些你偶然遇到的人拥有多样的人生经历。)”给出了合理的解释：正是因为经历不同，他们才能提供我们所没有的视角和体验。 【19题详解】 空格位于第四段段首，是该段的主题句。后文内容“They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.( 它们建立了公众信任，这反过来又使社会群体更加紧密地联系在一起。正如著名心理学家桑德斯特伦所解释的那样：“这种社区感是我们与陌生人交谈时所获得的重要东西——就是感觉存在着这种共同的人性，感觉他人看到了我们、重视我们。”这种感觉有助于人们认识到自己是这个社区的一部分。)”从个人层面上升到了社会层面，讲述微连接如何建立公共信任、让社区联系更紧密。D选项“Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.( 短暂的交流影响的不仅仅是两个人。)”准确概括了这一转变，从个人影响过渡到社会影响，统领全段内容。 【20题详解】 空格位于文章结尾，是对全文的总结和呼吁。前文“In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. (在一个人们常常感到彼此疏远的世界里，这些小小的时刻提醒着我们普通个体之间隐藏的联系。一个微小的联系可能会产生持久的成果。)”已经全面阐述了微连接的多重益处，结尾自然应该发出行动倡议。G选项“So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.( 所以下次不要犹豫，向你身边的人微笑吧。)”与文章开头提到的“陌生人的温暖微笑”相呼应，是一个自然且有力的结尾。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。Molai在印度的一个小村庄长大。16岁的时候，一场洪水导致他的家园遭受巨大损失。树木的缺乏导致这些动物失去了遮蔽物，很多鸟儿离开，蛇类数量减少。Molai决定改变这一切，他经过努力，在附近找到了一个小岛，开始种树。在30多年的时间里，他的努力使1360英亩的天然土地成为许多动植物的家园。 【21题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:这个村庄位于一些湿地附近，那里成了他的第二个家。A. dream梦想；B. job工作；C. home家；D. choice选择。根据空前的second可知，他出生的村庄是他的家，村庄附近的一些“湿地”成为了他的第二个“家”。故选C。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:他从小就在那里了解到了大自然的价值和美丽。A. nature自然；B. youth青春，年轻；C. culture文化；D. knowledge知识。湿地展现了“大自然”的价值和美。故选A。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:16岁时，Molai开始注意到他的家周围发生了一些令人不安的事情。A. precious宝贵的；B. interesting有趣的；C. disturbing令人不安的，引起烦恼的；D. generous慷慨的。该段后半部分提到:洪水侵袭，很多鸟儿离开，蛇的数量减少。这些情况都不正常，令人不安。故选C。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:那年早些时候，一场洪水袭击了这个地区，洪水造成的损害赶走了很多鸟类。A. waste废物；B. tension紧张；C. pain疼痛，痛苦；D. damage损害，伤害。洪水侵袭这个地区，它会“损害”庄稼、树木，这些都会导致鸟儿们离开。故选D。 【25题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意:此外，蛇的数量也减少了。A. Besides此外，另外；B. However但是；C. Therefore因此；D. Otherwise否则。根据as well可知，洪水不仅导致很多鸟儿离开。而且，它还导致蛇的数量减少。故选A。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意:他意识到这是因为没有足够的树来保护它们免受炎热的影响。A. agreed同意；B. realized意识到；C. remembered记住，记起；D. predicted预测。Molai“意识到”鸟儿离开、蛇类减少是因为没有足够的树木。故选B。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:他意识到这是因为没有足够的树来保护它们免受炎热的影响。A. noise噪音；B. heat热；C. disease疾病；D. dust尘土。根据常识可知，树木可以提供阴凉，从而保护鸟类和蛇类免受炎热的影响。故选B。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:当然，解决的办法是种树，这样动物们就可以在白天寻找栖身之处。A. directions方向；B. partners伙伴，合作伙伴；C. help帮助；D. shelter遮蔽，庇护，遮蔽物。树木可以给动物们提供“遮蔽”。故选D。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:他向森林部门求助，但被告知那里什么也不长。A. labor劳动；B. police警察；C. forest森林；D. finance财政，金融。根据前一句中的“The solution, of course, was to plant trees”可知，Molai想要种树，所以他应该向“森林”部门求助。故选C。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意:然而，Molai自己去看了看，发现了附近的一个岛屿，他开始在那里种树。A. rebuilt重建；B. discovered发现；C. left离开；D. managed设法做成。根据前面的”looking on his own”可知，他自己去看，那么接下来就应该是他”发现”了一个小岛。故选B。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意:对一个孤独的男孩来说，在旱季给幼苗浇水是很困难的。A. Decorating装饰；B. Observing观察到；C. Watering浇水；D. Guarding守卫。该段后半部分叙述的是Molai想尽办法收集水的努力。再结合该句中的“the dry season”可知，在旱季给幼苗“浇水”很难。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:对一个孤独的男孩来说，在旱季给幼苗浇水是很困难的。A. tough困难的；B. illegal非法的；C. fantastic极好的；D. beneficial有益的。根据该段后半部分的叙述可知，Molai想尽办法收集雨水，由此推知，旱季缺水，给幼苗浇水很“难”。故选A。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意:Molai在每棵树苗的顶端都搭建了一个竹子平台，在那里他放置了带有小洞的陶罐来收集雨水。A. back背部；B. top顶端；C. foot脚；D. side一边，一侧。根据该段最后一句“The water would then drip on the plants below”可知，水滴在下面的植物上。由此推知，竹子平台应该在每棵树苗的”顶端”。故选B。 【34题详解】 考查动词(短语)辨析。句意:Molai在每棵树苗的顶端都搭建了一个竹子平台，在那里他放置了带有小洞的陶罐来收集雨水。A. cool down冷却下来；B. keep off与……保持距离；C. purify净化，使纯净；D. collect收集。根据常识可知，陶罐是用来盛水的。由此可知，他将陶罐放到竹子平台上“收集”雨水。故选D。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意:在接下来的37年里，Molai继续种树。A. returned返回；B. learned学会；C. failed失败；D. continued继续。根据后一句可知，他的努力使1360英亩的天然土地成为许多动植物的家园。由此推知，在接下来的37年里，他“继续”种树。故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For more than 150 years, Chinese cuisine has been integrated into the fabric of American dining — often represented by dishes like fried rice, and egg roll.

Tom was hurrying to school on his bike, the cool morning wind blowing through his hair, when he spotted an old lady and a little girl standing beside a broken bicycle. Their faces were clouded by worry. It was exactly 7:30, and class would start in 20 minutes — he knew the bell would ring sharp at 7:50, and he really didn’t want to be late for Mr Brown’s math class, which always started with a quick quiz. But the lady’s helpless expression as she stared at the bike chain on the ground made him hit the brakes and stop without hesitation. “Excuse me, madam. Do you need help?” Tom asked gently, getting off his bike and walking over. The lady nodded eagerly, her eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope as she stepped forward. “The chain suddenly came off when I was riding, and I don’t know the first thing about fixing it,” she explained. “I’m supposed to take my granddaughter, Lily, to school, and I’m afraid she’ll be late for her class.” Hearing those words, Tom put down his backpack, opened it, and took out a small, worn tool kit from it, which he kept for emergency. With the basic bike repair skills his father had taught him during their weekend trips, Tom knelt down to get to work carefully. Tom’s fingers moved quickly but gently, adjusting the loose chain and tightening a loose screw (螺丝钉) that had caused the problem. The lady stood by his side, talking softly about her granddaughter, Lily, who was in Grade 3 at Green Primary School and loved drawing colorful pictures of animals and flowers. Tom listened while working, occasionally nodding. Ten minutes later, the bike was fixed. The lady thanked Tom repeatedly and offered to pay, but Tom shook his head and refused. “Just pass the kindness on,” he said, and then picked up his backpack and raced to his school, managing to arrive just before the bell rang. He didn’t have time to think about the lady again until after school. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Tom finished school, he found Lily and her grandma waiting for him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tom refused the tool kit repeatedly, saying he just did what he should do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When Tom finished school, he found Lily and her grandma waiting for him. The little girl was holding a colorful drawing in her hand, her eyes bright with excitement. “Thank you so much for helping us this morning!” Lily said loudly, handing him the drawing. It showed a boy fixing a bike under the sun, with a big smile on his face. “My grandma has a gift for you too,” Lily exclaimed excitedly. Just then, the lady stepped forward, smiling and holding a brand new tool kit in her hands. “This is for you, in reward for your timely help,” she said softly. Tom refused the tool kit repeatedly, saying he just did what he should do. But Lily’s grandma insisted, explaining that it was a small gift to show their gratitude and a way to “pass the kindness on” as he had said. Finally, Tom accepted it, holding the tool kit tightly. On his way home, he looked at the drawing and the new tool kit, feeling a warm glow in his heart. He realized that a small act of kindness could bring so much warmth to others. Just as he had helped the old lady, this little gift reminded him that kindness is always mutual and worth passing on forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述在一个平常的上学日，汤姆骑车赶去学校，途中看到一位老妇人和小女孩因自行车坏了而发愁。尽管快上课了，汤姆还是停下来帮忙修理自行车。他用父亲教的技能迅速修好了车，拒绝了老妇人的报酬并表示希望对方传递善意，之后他及时赶到学校。放学后，汤姆再次遇到了老妇人和小女孩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤姆放学后，发现莉莉和她奶奶在等他。”可知，第一段可描写放学后，汤姆发现莉莉和她奶奶在等他，莉莉兴奋地递给他一幅画，画的是一个男孩在太阳下修自行车，脸上带着笑容。奶奶则拿着一个崭新的工具包，说是对他及时帮助的酬谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“汤姆再三拒绝了那个工具包，说他只是做了自己该做的事。”可知，第二段可描写汤姆多次拒绝工具包，称自己只是做了该做的事。但莉莉奶奶坚持，解释这是表达感激和传递善意的方式。最后汤姆接受了，回家路上看着画和工具包，他内心温暖，意识到一个小小的善举能给他人带来温暖，且善意是相互的，值得永远传递。。 2.续写线索：放学后遇到老妇人和莉莉——莉莉送画——奶奶送工具包——汤姆拒绝工具包——奶奶坚持并解释——汤姆接受并领悟善意。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help /assist ②微笑：smile/beam ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The little girl was holding a colorful drawing in her hand, her eyes bright with excitement.（运用了独立主格结构 her eyes bright with excitement ） 【高分句型 2】He realized that a small act of kindness could bring so much warmth to others.（运用了that引导的宾语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春学期金坛一中高三英语阶段性调研试卷 检测用时120分钟 试卷总分150分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学). That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of. 4. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author? A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner. C. Jostein Gaarder. D. A college teacher. 5. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4? A. To compare Weiner with them. B. To give examples of great works. C. To praise their writing skills. D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book. 6. What does the author like about The Socrates Express? A. Its views on history are well-presented. B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life. C. It includes comments from readers. D. It leaves an open ending. 7. What does the author think of Weiner’s book? A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious. C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward. C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 8. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 9. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 10. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. D Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature. Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician's success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter. Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician's words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball. Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示)another object that has not been cut or burned. 12. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a magic show. B. To teach people to be magicians. C. To explain the art of magic. D. To praise the talents of magicians. 13. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick? A. Moving stage equipment. B. Directing the audience's attention. C. Applying high technology. D. Keeping the performance in secret. 14. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs? A. Providing examples. B. Making a summary. C. Drawing comparisons. D. Explaining a concept. 15. What can we infer from the text? A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B. Most magicians employ assistants. C. It takes practice to perform magic. D.

When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. ____17____ They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation. Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. ____18____ Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges. ____19____ They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community. In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. ____20____ A. They tend to slip our attention. B. Microconnections are also two-way streets. C. People are eager for connection with others. D. Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals. E. Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world. F. Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences. G. So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

Tom was hurrying to school on his bike, the cool morning wind blowing through his hair, when he spotted an old lady and a little girl standing beside a broken bicycle. Their faces were clouded by worry. It was exactly 7:30, and class would start in 20 minutes — he knew the bell would ring sharp at 7:50, and he really didn’t want to be late for Mr Brown’s math class, which always started with a quick quiz. But the lady’s helpless expression as she stared at the bike chain on the ground made him hit the brakes and stop without hesitation. “Excuse me, madam. Do you need help?” Tom asked gently, getting off his bike and walking over. The lady nodded eagerly, her eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope as she stepped forward. “The chain suddenly came off when I was riding, and I don’t know the first thing about fixing it,” she explained. “I’m supposed to take my granddaughter, Lily, to school, and I’m afraid she’ll be late for her class.” Hearing those words, Tom put down his backpack, opened it, and took out a small, worn tool kit from it, which he kept for emergency. With the basic bike repair skills his father had taught him during their weekend trips, Tom knelt down to get to work carefully. Tom’s fingers moved quickly but gently, adjusting the loose chain and tightening a loose screw (螺丝钉) that had caused the problem. The lady stood by his side, talking softly about her granddaughter, Lily, who was in Grade 3 at Green Primary School and loved drawing colorful pictures of animals and flowers. Tom listened while working, occasionally nodding. Ten minutes later, the bike was fixed. The lady thanked Tom repeatedly and offered to pay, but Tom shook his head and refused. “Just pass the kindness on,” he said, and then picked up his backpack and raced to his school, managing to arrive just before the bell rang. He didn’t have time to think about the lady again until after school. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Tom finished school, he found Lily and her grandma waiting for him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tom refused the tool kit repeatedly, saying he just did what he should do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
