A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍城市推出的CareBox志愿者项目，涵盖参与条件、报名方式、服务内容及积分兑换规则等相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To make daily life easier for older residents while encouraging community service, the city has introduced CareBox, a volunteer-support program that connects local helpers with 65+ seniors with limited mobility, hearing difficulties or visual impairment, providing them with extra assistance in everyday life.(为便利老年居民日常生活、推广社区志愿服务，该市推出了CareBox这一志愿者帮扶项目，将本地帮扶者与行动不便、听力或视力障碍的65岁以上老人对接，为老人提供日常生活额外帮助。)”可知，该项目的主要目的是将志愿者与有需要的老年人配对帮扶。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to Join部分中的“After completing identity confirmation, volunteers can register through the official CareBox app, a 24-hour hotline, or local service desks.(完成身份核验后，志愿者可通过官方软件、热线电话或社区服务台完成注册报名。)”可知，志愿者加入该项目需要先完成身份审核。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Credit System部分图表中的“30-minute chats 11 credits；Meal delivery 12 credits；Grocery errand 15 credits；Digital support session 17 credits；Clinic trip assistance 18 credits.(半小时聊天11积分；送餐12积分；代购杂货15积分；数字设备协助17积分；陪同就诊18积分。)”可知，陪同老人前往诊所就医获得的积分最多，因此A项符合语境。 B My mother, who isn’t good at driving and using technology, plans to drive for Uber, an online platform that provides car-pooling service. One day on her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with a passenger named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, panic seized her. The silent navigation. The distracting screen. The swipe/tap confusion. It was just too much, Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride and nor did she contact him to explain. She rotated her car 180 degrees and raced toward home. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check her text messages. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. Matthew called again. She hesitated, and then picked up the phone. “Why are you driving in the opposite direction?” he asked. “Listen,” she pleaded. “This is my first time with Uber, and I don’t know how to use it.” Then Mom found the destination and Matthew got in the car, Matthew was a handsome man in his early thirties with a kind face. Mom told Matthew he would need to manage the technology if he wanted to arrive on time. “So, start the trip,” she barked and tossed her phone to Matthew. He obliged. They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale — although at the wrong entrance. “I’m sorry,” she says. “It’s okay,” laughed Matthew. “Everyone is a beginner at some point.” He ended the trip, returned her phone, and started to climb out of the car. “Matthew,” she called from her window, “you’d better not rate me one star.” “I’m rating you five right now!” he said, and he really did. Matthew disappeared into the mall, smiling. She smiled, too, proud that her first ride was such a success. 4. Why did the author’s mother turn off her phone? A. She couldn’t get in touch with Matthew. B. She had difficulty in finding Matthew. C. She didn’t know how to use the app. D. She had something urgent to deal with. 5. How did Matthew probably feel when he phoned the author’s mother? A. Calm and relaxed. B. Surprised and anxious. C. Curious but hopeful. D. Confused but satisfied. 6. What can we learn about their trip? A. It was very smooth. B. They had a great time. C. It took shorter time than usual. D. They didn’t get along well. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Matthew? A. Smart and humorous. B. Careful and responsible. C. Considerate and generous. D. Helpful and understanding. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述不擅长开车和电子产品的妈妈第一次开优步接单，因不会操作软件慌乱跑路，乘客马修十分包容，二人一路相谈甚欢，最后马修给妈妈五星好评的暖心故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“The silent navigation. The distracting screen. The swipe/tap confusion. It was just too much, Naturally, she turned off her phone.(导航没声音、屏幕让人分心、分不清滑动和点击操作，一切都让她手足无措，于是她关掉了手机。)”可知，妈妈关掉手机是因为她不会使用这款软件。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes.(她有好几个马修的未接来电，马修一直在手机上盯着她的定位，眼睁睁看她往反方向开了五分钟。)”可知，马修看到司机反向行驶，打电话时内心既诧异又焦急。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段“They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale — although at the wrong entrance.(他们一路说笑，最后抵达了约克代尔商场，只是走错了入口。)”可知，这段行程中二人相处十分愉快。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第七段“It’s okay,” laughed Matthew. “Everyone is a beginner at some point.”(马修笑着说：“没关系，每个人都有初次尝试的时候。”)”以及第八段 “I’m rating you five right now!” he said, and he really did.(他说：“我现在就给你五星好评！”，并且他真的这么做了。)”可知，马修能理解并原谅一个初学者的错误，并主动给五星好评，说明他乐于助人、十分体谅他人。 C You enter the kitchen to grab something off the counter, only to find halfway there that the thought has suddenly disappeared. Backtracking to the living room brings it rushing back. Your brain isn’t broken. In fact, you’ve just experienced what psychologists call the doorway effect, a common and well-documented cognitive hiccup (认知偏差). Gabriel Radvansky, a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame, who has spent years investigating how physical movement affects memory, uncovers the underlying mechanism: the brain organizes experience into separate episodes called event models. Each room, each distinct context represents a separate episode with doorways serving as “event boundaries” that signal transitions between episodes. When you cross a doorway, the brain files the previous episode of activity away and begins building a new one. As a result, the intention you formed in the original room becomes buried under newly activated contextual information. In controlled experiments, Radvansky found that participants were two to three times more likely to forget their intended task after crossing a doorway than after travelling the same distance within a single room. “Recalling the decision or activity made in a different room is difficult because it has been filed and covered up,” he explained. “Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings back the buried intention to the surface.” Jeffrey Zacks, a psychologist at Washington University has described the significance of Radvansky’s work precisely. Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time, he noted. The doorway studies added a third dimension, the structure of experience itself, adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories accordingly. For everyday purposes, forming a clear, specific intention before crossing a doorway rather than relying on surrounding memory, reduces the chance of losing it at the boundary. Writing it down achieves the same effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating process can’t touch. And recognize that walking into a room and forgetting why, which becomes more frequent under stress, tiredness or high cognitive load, is a normal feature of how your brain manages episodic transitions, a trade-off between efficiency and immediate access, not a malfunction. 8. What do we know about event models from the passage? A. They cause memory disorder. B. They mix different life experiences. C. They are erased by doorways. D. They are linked to specific contexts. 9. What does the underlined word “reinstates” mean in Paragraph 3 A. Restores. B. Replaces. C. Reconstructs. D. Restricts. 10. What is the significance of Radvansky’s studies according to Zacks? A. Confirming the role of information. B. Offering new memory perspectives. C. Revolutionizing memory loss research. D. Correcting traditional memory views. 11. What is recommended to prevent the doorway effect? A. Avoiding the event boundaries. B. Reducing the multitask chances. C. Externalizing the specific intention. D. Embracing the declining memory. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍心理学上的门口效应，阐释其大脑运作原理、相关实验结论，同时说明了该研究的学术价值以及日常生活中规避门口效应的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Each room, each distinct context represents a separate episode with doorways serving as “event boundaries” that signal transitions between episodes.(每一个房间、每一个不同的环境都代表一段独立的事件片段，门口充当着 “事件分界”，标志着不同片段之间的转换。)”可知，事件片段模型与特定环境相关联。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings back the buried intention to the surface.(原路返回之所以有用，是因为它reinstates最初的事件场景，让被搁置的想法重新浮现出来。)”可知，原路返回的时候，能让被搁置的想法重新浮现出来，说明在此过程中，能还原最初的事件场景。故reinstate含义为“恢复、还原”，与restore意思相近。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段 “Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time, he noted. The doorway studies added a third dimension, the structure of experience itself, adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories accordingly.(他指出，科学家曾经认为提取记忆的主要影响因素是时间，后续研究表明是随时间产生的新信息量，而关于门口效应的研究增添了第三个维度 —— 经历本身的结构，以此相应改变我们调取即时相关记忆的方式。)”可知，Zacks认为这项研究提供了看待记忆的全新角度。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段“Writing it down achieves the same effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating process can’t touch.(把想法写下来能起到同样效果，因为它将想法转移到外部记录中，不受大脑更新场景流程的影响。)”可知，将具体想法外化记录可以预防门口效应。 D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 12. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 13. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analytical. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Repairable. 14. What happens during “flow states”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述的是高强度专注的爆发力在促进个人转变和成长中的催化作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? (现在是周日晚上，你正在回顾一周以来在五个不同目标上的进展，却没有任何一个真正有实质性的突破。你锻炼了两次，读了20页商业书籍，与家人共度了美好时光，还坚持了冥想练习。按照生产力专家的说法，你做的一切都是对的。那么，为什么有意义的改变感觉如此难以实现呢？)”可知，持续的努力可能无法带来真正的进步。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. (我们的大脑高度malleable；它们会发生变化，有时甚至是显著的变化，以反映新技能和知识的获取。)”可知，大脑能够发生变化以适应新技能和知识的获取，因此malleable意为“可塑的、适应性强的”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Research finds that during periods of intense focus, the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in ‘flow states,’ where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. (研究发现，在高度专注的时期，主要负责自我监控的前额叶皮层往往会安静下来，这反映了‘心流状态’中常见的情况，在这种状态下，自我与任务之间的界限消失了。)”可知，在‘心流状态’中，人会感到与任务融为一体。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. (但转变还有另一个我们很少讨论的维度：高强度生产力爆发的催化力量。正是这种更强烈、更暂时的痴迷模式才是关键。)”以及最后一段“Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. (也许现在是我们停止为偶尔的痴迷感到内疚的时候了，开始正视它们的本质：正是这些催化剂使我们稳定的进步变得有意义。)”可知，文章主要论述的是高强度专注优于稳定习惯。 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。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Street names help us figure out where we are. This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____16____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____17____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do? ____18____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____19____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____20____ A. Residents rarely notice the street names. B. My view is that such streets be renamed. C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence. D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt. E. Another, changing these names erases history. F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories. G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了街道命名背后的历史意义及应对有争议命名的不同观点和做法。 【16题详解】 由上文“Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name.(就在灯柱后面有一个由厚铁制成的旧牌子，上面写着这个名字。)”及下文“That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition.(那个标志似乎在说这个人过去和现在都值得被认可。)”可知，上文描述了街道上有一个旧牌子，上面写着名字，下文提到这个标志似乎在说这个人值得被认可，本空应说明以人名命名街道是对其成就的一种认可方式。G选项“以一个人的名字命名一条街道是纪念他们的成就的一种方式。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter.(一种观点认为这不过是小题大做。街道名称并不重要。)”及下文“But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life.(但是，通过街道名称来纪念那些应该为杀戮负责的人，会保留对过去的庆祝态度，并在日常生活中使其正常化。)”可知，上文说明了一种认为街道名称不重要的观点，下文通过转折说明另一种观点，即街道名称的重要性，本空应说明另一种反对的观点，E选项“另一种观点是，更改这些名称会抹去历史。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由上文“So what should we do?(那么我们该怎么办？)”及下文“Another option is the Amsterdam approach.(另一个选择是阿姆斯特丹的做法。)”可知，上文提出问题，下文给出另一个选择，本空应给出第一个选择或观点，B选项“我的观点是，这样的街道应该重新命名。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people.(在格拉斯哥，组织了一次游览，让人们了解这座城市在奴役人民中所扮演的角色。)”及下文“It builds thoughtful ways forward locally.(它在当地建立了深思熟虑的前进方式。)”可知，上文描述了格拉斯哥的一次游览活动，下文说明这次活动的影响，空格处应评价这种做法的意义，F选项“这种做法是对破坏性历史的创造性回应。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher.(如果Kitchener Road必须保留它的名字，我宁愿想象他们是在纪念“卡利普索之王”，而不是殖民屠夫。)”可知，上文作者提议若保留街名，宁愿把它解读为致敬音乐人而非殖民统治者，可知空格处应收尾总结、认可这种解读方式。D选项“也许这是我们都可以接受的看法。”能承接上文，符合语境。 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。 Dr. James Leong is an eye doctor in Wellington.

His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move, and she could get them that afternoon. A feeling of hope rose in Jack’ s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old, Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved. His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company — all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat (轻拍)。 All day at school, Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting (瞟) to the clock. During math class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky. As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him — maybe he could find a new way to save those memories. 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。 He knew what he could draw. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 He knew what he could draw. Jack grabbed his crayons with determination. First, he vividly depicted his seventh birthday: Grandma’s face beaming with a smile as he blew out the candles. Next came a sunny beach scene — his whole family laughing and running along the shore. Finally, he drew the special moment when Grandpa gave him Big Dog. He connected all these scenes into one big picture, leaving one corner empty for new memories. When the bell rang, he gently rolled up his masterpiece, eager to share it with his mom. After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. Breathlessly, he showed her his artwork. Her eyes welled up as she recognized each precious moment. Overwhelmed, she pulled him into a warm hug and then revealed Big Dog, which she had found in the recovered boxes. Seeing his old friend, Jack leaped with great joy, clutching it to his chest. When his mom noticed the blank corner, she suggested drawing the whole family in their new house. In that moment, they realized it was love that kept memories alive, and that together, they could always create new ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克和妈妈搬家后，心爱的玩具狗Big Dog失踪，相册也确认遗失，二人都十分难过。杰克在美术课上把珍贵的家庭回忆画成一幅画，想以此留住记忆。妈妈看到画作十分感动，同时拿出了找到的Big Dog，他们明白爱让记忆永存，还能创造新回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他清楚自己能画些什么”可知，第一段可描写杰克在美术课上把珍贵的家庭回忆画成一幅画，想以此留住记忆。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，杰克手里拿着画冲向妈妈”可知，第二段可描写妈妈看到画作十分感动，同时拿出了找到的Big Dog，他们明白爱让记忆永存，还能创造新回忆。 2.续写线索：杰克绘画——描绘家庭回忆——给妈妈看——妈妈感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①描绘：depict/portray ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③看到：see/spot 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②渴望：eager/raring 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes welled up as she recognized each precious moment.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When his mom noticed the blank corner, she suggested drawing the whole family in their new house.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 聊城一中老校区、新校区高二下学期第二次阶段性测试 英语试题 时间：120分钟 分值：150分 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音读两遍。 1.

One day on her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with a passenger named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, panic seized her. The silent navigation. The distracting screen. The swipe/tap confusion. It was just too much, Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride and nor did she contact him to explain. She rotated her car 180 degrees and raced toward home. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check her text messages. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. Matthew called again. She hesitated, and then picked up the phone. “Why are you driving in the opposite direction?” he asked. “Listen,” she pleaded. “This is my first time with Uber, and I don’t know how to use it.” Then Mom found the destination and Matthew got in the car, Matthew was a handsome man in his early thirties with a kind face. Mom told Matthew he would need to manage the technology if he wanted to arrive on time. “So, start the trip,” she barked and tossed her phone to Matthew. He obliged. They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale — although at the wrong entrance. “I’m sorry,” she says. “It’s okay,” laughed Matthew. “Everyone is a beginner at some point.” He ended the trip, returned her phone, and started to climb out of the car. “Matthew,” she called from her window, “you’d better not rate me one star.” “I’m rating you five right now!” he said, and he really did. Matthew disappeared into the mall, smiling. She smiled, too, proud that her first ride was such a success. 4. Why did the author’s mother turn off her phone? A. She couldn’t get in touch with Matthew. B. She had difficulty in finding Matthew. C. She didn’t know how to use the app. D. She had something urgent to deal with. 5.

Which of the following words can best describe Matthew? A. Smart and humorous. B. Careful and responsible. C. Considerate and generous. D. Helpful and understanding. C You enter the kitchen to grab something off the counter, only to find halfway there that the thought has suddenly disappeared. Backtracking to the living room brings it rushing back. Your brain isn’t broken. In fact, you’ve just experienced what psychologists call the doorway effect, a common and well-documented cognitive hiccup (认知偏差). Gabriel Radvansky, a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame, who has spent years investigating how physical movement affects memory, uncovers the underlying mechanism: the brain organizes experience into separate episodes called event models. Each room, each distinct context represents a separate episode with doorways serving as “event boundaries” that signal transitions between episodes. When you cross a doorway, the brain files the previous episode of activity away and begins building a new one. As a result, the intention you formed in the original room becomes buried under newly activated contextual information. In controlled experiments, Radvansky found that participants were two to three times more likely to forget their intended task after crossing a doorway than after travelling the same distance within a single room. “Recalling the decision or activity made in a different room is difficult because it has been filed and covered up,” he explained. “Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings back the buried intention to the surface.” Jeffrey Zacks, a psychologist at Washington University has described the significance of Radvansky’s work precisely. Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time, he noted. The doorway studies added a third dimension, the structure of experience itself, adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories accordingly. For everyday purposes, forming a clear, specific intention before crossing a doorway rather than relying on surrounding memory, reduces the chance of losing it at the boundary. Writing it down achieves the same effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating process can’t touch. And recognize that walking into a room and forgetting why, which becomes more frequent under stress, tiredness or high cognitive load, is a normal feature of how your brain manages episodic transitions, a trade-off between efficiency and immediate access, not a malfunction. 8. What do we know about event models from the passage? A. They cause memory disorder. B. They mix different life experiences. C. They are erased by doorways. D. They are linked to specific contexts. 9. What does the underlined word “reinstates” mean in Paragraph 3 A. Restores. B. Replaces. C. Reconstructs. D. Restricts. 10. What is the significance of Radvansky’s studies according to Zacks? A. Confirming the role of information. B. Offering new memory perspectives. C. Revolutionizing memory loss research. D. Correcting traditional memory views. 11. What is recommended to prevent the doorway effect? A. Avoiding the event boundaries. B. Reducing the multitask chances. C. Externalizing the specific intention. D. Embracing the declining memory. D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve.

This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____16____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____17____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do? ____18____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____19____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____20____ A. Residents rarely notice the street names. B. My view is that such streets be renamed. C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence. D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt. E. Another, changing these names erases history. F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories. G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements. 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。 Dr. James Leong is an eye doctor in Wellington.

Sun Chubo, a young bamboo flute (长笛) professional from the China National Opera and Dance Drama, has moved the stage from the theater to the masses. The countless ____38____ (like) both offline and online prove that this is ____39____ means for art to burst forth with vigorous and dynamic vitality. “In outdoor performances, I can see everyone’s expressions up close.

His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move, and she could get them that afternoon. A feeling of hope rose in Jack’ s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old, Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved. His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company — all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat (轻拍)。 All day at school, Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting (瞟) to the clock. During math class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky. As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him — maybe he could find a new way to save those memories. 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。 He knew what he could draw. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
