Mr. Hale, the advisor, was a quiet man with a warm smile, carrying a well-worn camera that seemed to ____17____ more stories than any textbook. Back then, I was an uninterested sophomore, struggling to ____18____ my place in high school — grades were average, and I had no hobby to ____19____ my dull days. One drizzly afternoon, Mr. Hale took us to a community garden. “Photography isn’t just framing shots,” he said, handing me a camera. “It’s about ____20____ beauty others miss.” I pointed at a wilting rose. When I pressed the shutter (快门) , he whispered: “Try to ____21____ the light — the mood it ____22____ .” His words struck me; I’d never thought of light this way. Weeks later, I submitted a photo of a street musician to a contest. It didn’t even make the shortlist. I felt despair and almost ____23____ the club. Mr. Hale found me, held up my photo, and said: “This ____24____ his passion. That’s what ____25____ — not winning.” His words ____26____ me from giving up. I focused on the stories behind frames, not awards. By senior year, my photos were displayed in the school library. A local newspaper ____27____ one of my works about neighborhood elders. When I told Mr. Hale I’d study photography in college, he smiled: “Never ____28____ what you love.” On graduation day, I gave him a photo I’d taken secretly — him watching kids chase butterflies. He said softly: “You’ve ____29____ the art of seeing with your heart.” Now a photography student, I often think of that rainy afternoon. Mr. Hale taught me to ____30____ the world with curiosity, to ____31____ hidden stories. Every time I press the shutter, I hear his voice: “Good photos reveal your soul.” A single hobby, guided by the right person, can ____32____ a life. I was drifting, but photography gave me a compass. I’ll always be ____33____ to Mr. Hale, who taught me to chase light. Last month, I returned to the garden. The rose bush bloomed bright. I took a photo, sent it to him, and wrote: “Still chasing light.” He replied with a camera emoji. Some connections, like photos, never ____34____ their meaning, no matter how much time passes. A girl with a camera asked for help. I smiled, just like Mr. Hale, and said: “Let’s start with the light.” Maybe one day, I’ll ____35____ that gift too. 16. A. record B. alter C. check D. weave 17.

For two skate rentals and one skating lesson on Christmas Day the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink will charge ________. A. $24 B. $26 C. $28 D. $52 B It was the winter when I taught in a small country school on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I had three grades of little people in my class, all beaming with the desire to learn all they could. One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease — leukemia. More often than not, he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments. All of us were so pleased, then, to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas. We decorated our classroom, practised for the concert, and prepared Christmas stories to share. Two days before school let out for the three-week Christmas holiday, I read a story to the class. It was the story of “The Littlest Angel”. This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo. Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help. As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel. Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune, including David. The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.” Even before he told us the purpose of the box, we all seemed to know. Shiny tears went dot-to-dot down the faces of the other children. The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David’s wooden box. When the holidays came to a close, we all returned to our class — all except David. He had got a good chance and left for a big city to get better treatment, clutching the wooden box that held his hope and memories, and ours. 41. What can be inferred about the author’s teaching environment? A. It was a large and modern school in a bustling city center. B. It was a small school with students from multiple grades in one class.

His attractive smile impressed his teacher a lot. B. Though seriously ill, he was passionate to learn. C. His disease prevented him from going to school. D. Though looking normal, he suffered from a fatal disease. 43. What does the underlined part “the plight” refer to? A. The past time. B. The promising future. C. The awful situation. D. The daily routine. 44. Which of the following best describes David? A. Intelligent and diligent. B. Sociable and adventurous. C. Strong-willed and ambitious. D. Optimistic and courageous. 45. What is the overall theme of the passage? A. The importance of Christmas celebrations in school. B. The struggle of a teacher in a small country school. C.

C Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and that for us to think, language is a decisive factor. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches. First, they studied patients suffering from global aphasia, who had lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. However, they can still complete complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal, they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors from the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English sentence “he fired the gun” is usually phrased as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 46. What does the recent study show about language and thought? A. Language and thought work separately. B. Language is the basis of intelligent thought. C. Language and thought depend on each other. D. Language determines the complexity of thought. 47. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage? A. To prove that language is essential for intelligent thinking. B. To examine the relationship between language and thought. C. To develop new treatments for patients with global aphasia. D. To identify the brain regions responsible for non-verbal reasoning. 48. What did brain-imaging tools reveal about healthy volunteers performing non-verbal task? A. They struggled with problem-solving. B. Their language centers became overactive. C. Their language regions showed little activity. D. They would unconsciously use verbal strategies. 49. How can language serve humans, according to Fedorenko? A. It helps humans generate thoughts. B. It decides humans’ evolutionary direction. C. It replaces direct experience with the world. D. It facilitates the exchange of complicated ideas. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. Thought can operate independently from language. B. Language plays a decisive role in shaping human thought. C. Language and thought are deeply interdependent in the brain. D. The absence of language makes complex thought impossible. D Why are we so worried about our careers? Partly it’s to do with money, but there’s a psychological aspect to our fears as well. We worry because we suspect — not wrongly — that the world is full of a frightening sort of person ready to judge us harshly and swiftly: a person we can call a snob. A snob is anyone who takes a relatively small part of us and uses it to come to a rigid conclusion about how much of their attention we deserve. In the past, that might be your family background or royal connections. Nowadays, the snob cares about one thing only: what you do for a living. This explains why the first question we will be asked in any new social context is “What do you do? ” and according to how we answer, snobs will either welcome us with broad smiles, or leave us in the cold. And that is why we are fired up by such a desperate urge to achieve and impress. Sometimes our behavior is mistaken for greed and pride, but it is more than this. A lot of our interest in fancy cars, jobs and houses has nothing to do with materialism. It has to do with a hunger for the respect and esteem that is only available in our societies through the acquisition of material goods. The next time we see someone driving a Ferrari, we shouldn’t blame them for their greed, we should pity them for the intensity of their need for love from the world. At the root of snobbery is a lack of imagination and confidence about how to decide who in the world is valuable. The snobs are brutally misguided and blind in their beliefs: for snobs, it is the already credited and already ‘successful’ who are the superior individuals to be identified. They are too afraid to think that someone might be clever, kind or good— but has been overlooked entirely by society, with their good qualities hidden and not yet seen. The true answer to snobbery is not to say that there is no such thing as a better or worse person, but to insist that ‘better’ or ‘worse’ exist in constantly unexpected places and carry none of the outward signs of distinction. And because we are such poor judges of the worth of others, our ultimate duty remains to be kind, good, curious and imaginative about pretty much everyone who ever crosses our path. 51. What gives rise to our worry about careers apart from money? A. The prospect of facing fault-finding managers. B. Fright at the difficulty in hunting for a job. C. The ruthless way employees are often treated. D. Fear of being judged in a snobbish manner. 52. What do we learn from the passage about today’s snobs? A. They try hard to dig into a person’s past. B. They judge a person by their occupation. C. They draw a rigid conclusion about people. D. They tend to place people in a social context. 53. What does the author say about people’s interest in material goods? A. It is the cause for blame of their greed. B. It has a lot to do with the comforts they provide. C. It arouses pity rather than respect from the wealthy. D. It arises from their thirst for social recognition. 54. What kind of people do snobs think worth respect and esteem? A. Those with fame and fortune. B. Those with intelligence and imagination. C. Those with blind minds. D. Those with hidden qualities. 55. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To tell us that no one is really better or worse than others. B. To advise us to be kind and interested in everyone we meet. C. To show that “better” or “worse” can change in unexpected ways. D. To tell us to judge people by their personal qualities. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题) 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Last August I took part in the Summer Camp of the General Final Contest of the 16th National Creative English Contest held in Beijing. It was one of the most meaningful thing I did in my Senior 2 summer vacation. The summer camp lasted from August 20 to August 27. During the opening ceremony, we each wrote a postcard to motivate ourselves. On my card I wrote, “Brace yourself and show your best,” These words supported me throughout every obstacle I experienced. August 24 witnessed the important debate contest that many of us feared. The night before, my teammates and I sat in a circle, focusing our minds on the debate topic, “Does competition among friends adversely influence their friendships?” All of us were busy searching for examples of Olympic athletes or other real-life people to back up our arguments. Time seemed to disappear faster than usual while we were working on this project. Finally, the big day arrived. Only one minute before we went on the stage, an inner voice entered my mind, saying, “Brace yourself and show your best.” Preparing the details in my head allowed me to feel ready for the challenge. With my teammates backing me up, I drew myself up to full height and expressed my point of view as best as I could. The results of the contest convinced me that my motto paid off—I entered the top 50, and two of my teammates placed in the top 10 due to their excellent performance. And through the strength of our teamwork, my friends and I became closer than ever. The more competition among friends, the firmer our friendship will be. From those eight days, it isn’t the prize I valued the most but the breakthrough and the pure friendship I gained. It would be better to change my motor into “Brace yourself and fight together.” I firmly hold the belief that this period of time will live in my memory forever and will shine even brighter when I look back. 56.

I had three grades of little people in my class, all beaming with the desire to learn all they could. One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease — leukemia. More often than not, he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments. All of us were so pleased, then, to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas. We decorated our classroom, practised for the concert, and prepared Christmas stories to share. Two days before school let out for the three-week Christmas holiday, I read a story to the class. It was the story of “The Littlest Angel”. This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo. Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help. As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel. Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune, including David. The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.” Even before he told us the purpose of the box, we all seemed to know. Shiny tears went dot-to-dot down the faces of the other children. The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David’s wooden box. When the holidays came to a close, we all returned to our class — all except David. He had got a good chance and left for a big city to get better treatment, clutching the wooden box that held his hope and memories, and ours. 41. What can be inferred about the author’s teaching environment? A. It was a large and modern school in a bustling city center. B. It was a small school with students from multiple grades in one class. C. It was a private boarding school with strict discipline. D. It was a school specialized in providing education for sick children. 42. What can we learn about David from the first paragraph? A. His attractive smile impressed his teacher a lot. B. Though seriously ill, he was passionate to learn. C. His disease prevented him from going to school. D. Though looking normal, he suffered from a fatal disease. 43. What does the underlined part “the plight” refer to? A. The past time. B. The promising future. C. The awful situation. D.

British philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science. The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches. First, they studied patients suffering from global aphasia, who had lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. However, they can still complete complex tasks. “You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal, they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors from the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ZME Science. The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words. So, if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it? Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage. Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English sentence “he fired the gun” is usually phrased as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today. 46. What does the recent study show about language and thought? A. Language and thought work separately. B. Language is the basis of intelligent thought. C. Language and thought depend on each other. D. Language determines the complexity of thought. 47. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage? A. To prove that language is essential for intelligent thinking. B. To examine the relationship between language and thought. C. To develop new treatments for patients with global aphasia. D. To identify the brain regions responsible for non-verbal reasoning. 48. What did brain-imaging tools reveal about healthy volunteers performing non-verbal task? A. They struggled with problem-solving. B. Their language centers became overactive. C. Their language regions showed little activity. D. They would unconsciously use verbal strategies. 49. How can language serve humans, according to Fedorenko? A. It helps humans generate thoughts. B. It decides humans’ evolutionary direction. C. It replaces direct experience with the world. D. It facilitates the exchange of complicated ideas. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. Thought can operate independently from language. B. Language plays a decisive role in shaping human thought. C. Language and thought are deeply interdependent in the brain. D. The absence of language makes complex thought impossible. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究发现，语言和思维是独立的大脑功能，思维无需语言也可进行。语言主要是交流工具，帮助人类传递复杂信息获得进化优势，但思维活动与语言区域关联不大。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science.(该研究发现，语言和思维是两个独立的实体，分别在大脑的不同区域运作。简而言之，它们“远比我们想象的要独立得多”，据ZME科学网站报道)”可知，最近的研究表明语言和思维是分开工作的。故选A项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain.(然而，最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究却得出了相反的结论。该研究发现，语言和思维是两个独立的实体，分别在大脑的不同区域运作)”以及第二段“The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches.(这项研究由来自美国的科学家开展，他们通过两种研究方法来探究语言与思维之间的关系)”可知，文章提到的这项研究的主要目的是探究语言和思维之间的关系。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities.(研究人员还利用脑成像技术对健康志愿者的大脑进行了研究，观察他们在完成诸如解谜和规划等非语言任务时的情况。结果发现，在这些活动中，大脑的语言区域大多处于不活跃状态)”可知，大脑成像工具显示，健康志愿者在进行非语言任务时，他们的大脑语言区域几乎没有活动。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage.(Fedorenko表示，语言主要是一种交流工具。“你对世界的大部分认知，都是通过语言而非直接与世界接触所获得的，”她说。通过借助语言来传递复杂信息，人类获得了进化上的优势)”可知，根据Fedorenko的说法，语言可以促进复杂思想的交流，从而为人类服务。故选D项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain.(然而，最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究却得出了相反的结论。该研究发现，语言和思维是两个独立的实体，分别在大脑的不同区域运作)”以及文章主要介绍了语言和思维之间的关系，研究表明，思维可以在没有语言的情况下独立运作。A选项“思想可以独立于语言而存在”概括文章主要内容，符合题意。故选A项。 D Why are we so worried about our careers? Partly it’s to do with money, but there’s a psychological aspect to our fears as well. We worry because we suspect — not wrongly — that the world is full of a frightening sort of person ready to judge us harshly and swiftly: a person we can call a snob. A snob is anyone who takes a relatively small part of us and uses it to come to a rigid conclusion about how much of their attention we deserve. In the past, that might be your family background or royal connections. Nowadays, the snob cares about one thing only: what you do for a living. This explains why the first question we will be asked in any new social context is “What do you do? ” and according to how we answer, snobs will either welcome us with broad smiles, or leave us in the cold. And that is why we are fired up by such a desperate urge to achieve and impress. Sometimes our behavior is mistaken for greed and pride, but it is more than this. A lot of our interest in fancy cars, jobs and houses has nothing to do with materialism. It has to do with a hunger for the respect and esteem that is only available in our societies through the acquisition of material goods. The next time we see someone driving a Ferrari, we shouldn’t blame them for their greed, we should pity them for the intensity of their need for love from the world. At the root of snobbery is a lack of imagination and confidence about how to decide who in the world is valuable. The snobs are brutally misguided and blind in their beliefs: for snobs, it is the already credited and already ‘successful’ who are the superior individuals to be identified. They are too afraid to think that someone might be clever, kind or good— but has been overlooked entirely by society, with their good qualities hidden and not yet seen. The true answer to snobbery is not to say that there is no such thing as a better or worse person, but to insist that ‘better’ or ‘worse’ exist in constantly unexpected places and carry none of the outward signs of distinction. And because we are such poor judges of the worth of others, our ultimate duty remains to be kind, good, curious and imaginative about pretty much everyone who ever crosses our path. 51. What gives rise to our worry about careers apart from money? A. The prospect of facing fault-finding managers. B. Fright at the difficulty in hunting for a job. C.

It was one of the most meaningful thing I did in my Senior 2 summer vacation. The summer camp lasted from August 20 to August 27. During the opening ceremony, we each wrote a postcard to motivate ourselves. On my card I wrote, “Brace yourself and show your best,” These words supported me throughout every obstacle I experienced. August 24 witnessed the important debate contest that many of us feared. The night before, my teammates and I sat in a circle, focusing our minds on the debate topic, “Does competition among friends adversely influence their friendships?” All of us were busy searching for examples of Olympic athletes or other real-life people to back up our arguments. Time seemed to disappear faster than usual while we were working on this project. Finally, the big day arrived. Only one minute before we went on the stage, an inner voice entered my mind, saying, “Brace yourself and show your best.” Preparing the details in my head allowed me to feel ready for the challenge. With my teammates backing me up, I drew myself up to full height and expressed my point of view as best as I could. The results of the contest convinced me that my motto paid off—I entered the top 50, and two of my teammates placed in the top 10 due to their excellent performance. And through the strength of our teamwork, my friends and I became closer than ever. The more competition among friends, the firmer our friendship will be. From those eight days, it isn’t the prize I valued the most but the breakthrough and the pure friendship I gained. It would be better to change my motor into “Brace yourself and fight together.” I firmly hold the belief that this period of time will live in my memory forever and will shine even brighter when I look back. 56.

The highest percentage, 65%, indicates that listening to English songs is the most popular activity. Following closely, 50% of students watch English movies, while 18% read English books. A smaller portion, 12%, engages in online English learning websites. From my perspective, these results reflect a common trend: students prefer engaging, entertaining, and accessible ways to rigid study approaches. The relatively low percentage of reading suggests that students may find reading lengthy texts challenging or less engaging outside the classroom. As for my personal favorite, I enjoy watching English movies and TV shows with subtitles. I believe a balanced mix of listening, watching, and reading-tailored to my interests helps me improve more quickly and keeps me motivated to learn every day. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。要求考生以Learning English Beyond the Classroom为题，写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 趋势：trend → tendency 激励的：motivated → stimulated 方法：approach → method 喜爱：enjoy → be fond of 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：As for my personal favorite, I enjoy watching English movies and TV shows with subtitles. 拓展句：As for my personal favorite, what I enjoy doing is watching English movies and TV shows that have subtitles. 【点睛】【高分句型1】The highest percentage, 65%, indicates that listening to English songs is the most popular activity.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As for my personal favorite, I enjoy watching English movies and TV shows with subtitles.（运用了动名词作宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
