Lifestyle in Paris differs from that in the United States in some ways. The most obvious thing is that there is much more activity in the streets than in a typical US city. People gather together in open markets, coffee houses, parks, and squares. Then, of course, there's the food. Food seems to be more important here. It's beautifully shown in windows and markets. Everything is fresher and better tasting than at home.⑱I've gained five pounds since I arrived. But⑲I'm still having a hard time with the language. People speak very fast and it's hard to get them to repeat things.⑳People, in general, are less warm here and it's hard to make friends.I guess that can be true in any big city in a new country, but the French do seem to be less friendly than the people back home. 2. ​​​​​​​略 3. 略 4. 略 ​​​​​​​听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17.Where did cholera probably begin?

Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhoea. It probably started in the Indian subcontinent. As early as the 5th century BC, people along the Ganges River wrote about cholera. The disease first spread to Russia in 1817 by trade routes. Later, cholera spread to the rest of Europe, and from Europe to North America and the rest of the world. Seven cholera epidemics have happened in the past 200 years. The latest one hit Indonesia in 1961. There have also been many serious outbreaks. The worst outbreak in recent history happened in Haiti after the earthquake there in 2010. Between October, 2010 and August, 2015, more than 700,000 Haitians got cholera, and over 9,000 died. The outbreak was caused by a United Nations base where Nepalese soldiers were living. The soldiers would throw human waste into the Artibonite River, which many Haitians used for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Since cholera became common in the 19th century, it has killed tens of millions of people. In 1854, an English doctor named John Snow was the first person to realise that polluted water caused cholera. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent it, thanks to the work of John Snow.

And so it was today for me at a shop a mile or so from my home. I had three items. A woman with her teenage boys ahead of me had twice as many items as mine. The customer at the register, a white-haired woman, had already begun to bag her items and was holding out cash to pay for them. Then came the problem. Sometimes it's a customer who forgot to weigh a piece of fruit, or someone searching for exact change. Fair enough. One waits. But today, it was something else. For whatever reason, this white-haired woman didn't have enough money. And so she began choosing which items to keep and which to hand back. She looked at each one for a long time before keeping or giving it up. We waited. Longer lines rushed ahead. The wait went on and on. Outside, my bus came and went. Finally, the woman turned back to us as she left, with her face turning red. We waved off her discomfiture. It could happen to anyone. We were honestly understanding. But I had no idea just how understanding the family ahead of me were until their turn came. The woman with the teenagers asked the cashier to add all the items the white-haired woman had left to her list as quickly as possible. The cashier did as told. Then the two boys rushed to the white-haired woman with the small bag of items. When they returned, it was clear their task had been completed. All it took to witness this act of kindness was waiting a little longer in a checkout line. I could have caught the next bus. But I felt so light on my feet that I walked home instead. 24.How does the author start the text? A. By introducing a way of payment. B. By describing a situation in a shop. C. By comparing customers' behaviours. D. By showing the preparation for shopping. 25.What problem did the white-haired woman have? A. She couldn't afford all the goods she chose. B. She didn't have some of the goods weighed. C. She didn't know how to return the goods. D. She couldn't find the accurate change. 26.What does the underlined word "discomfiture" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confusion. B. Anger. C. Tiredness. D. Awkwardness. 27.What was the two teenagers' task? A. Putting the items into the small bags. B. Helping the cashier to add up the items. C. Sending the white-haired woman her unpaid items. D. Placing the white-haired woman's items on the shelf. 【答案】B、A、D、C 【解析】【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在商店里排队付款时，看到一位女士主动为一位因钱不够而无法支付自己多余商品的白发妇人结账的故事。 1.  推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，第一段引出“超市排队付款”的常见场景，然后在第二段开头切入作者当天的购物经历，属于典型的“场景描述式开头”。 2.  细节理解题。根据第三段中“For whatever reason, this white-haired woman didn't have enough money.”可知，白发妇人的问题是没有足够的钱支付商品。 3.  词义猜测题。根据前文内容可知，这位白发妇人因钱不够无法支付而挑选商品，耽误了大家的时间，离开时脸红了，这是典型的“尴尬”表现。由此可知，画线单词意为“尴尬”，与awkwardness意思一致。 4.  推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，他们的母亲让收银员将白发妇人“放弃的商品”加入自己的账单，然后男孩们带着装有这些商品的小袋子冲向了白发妇人。由此推断，他们的任务是将白发妇人未能购买的商品送给她。 C Being bilingual (双语的) means learning to deal with two different ways of naming and perceiving reality. That requires the bilingual brain to learn to think in both languages and to switch between them effortlessly, a process known as code switching. Some researchers believe this process gives multilingual people an edge. Historically, the scientific community held the belief that second language acquisition could slow down a childˈs academic progress. However, contemporary understanding firmly acknowledges the cognitive (认知的) benefits bilingual children possess. Dr Fraser Lauchlan, an honorary lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, noted that faulty research from the 1930s to 1950s, since discredited, had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a childˈs academic achievements. Subsequent studies, especially the landmark research by Peal and Lambert in 1962, have clearly demonstrated that bilingualism brings no disadvantages and, in fact, offers advantages in specific language and cognitive areas: selective attention, metalinguistic awareness, creative and flexible thinking (including problem-solving), and short-term memory. In a study headed by Lauchlan, involving primary school students from Scotland (learning Gaelic and English concurrently) and Sardinia (exposed to Italian and Sardinian), the cognitive differences between monolingual (单语的) and bilingual children were measured. Of the 121 participants, 62 were bilingual and exhibited superior task-completion capabilities. Notably, Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the formerˈs formal education in Gaelic, while Sardinian was mostly an oral language lacking standardized form. Ellen Bialystok of York University in Toronto has conducted extensive research, concluding that bilingualism promotes a childˈs development. Lauchlan advises that for the best bilingualism, children should start learning a second language alongside their first, or at least as early as possible. Research indicates that bilinguals have an easier time acquiring further languages and display greater cultural receptivity (接受度). Moreover, in the globalized era, bilingualism also offers practical advantages in career prospects. Multinational corporations often seek employees with multilingual abilities to facilitate international business operations. A bilingual marketing professional can better understand and target diverse consumer groups, bridging cultural gaps and enhancing market share. Thus, developing bilingual capabilities from an early age can open doors to a broader range of opportunities in the future. 28.What is a misconception of bilingualismˈs impact? ( ) A. Bilingualism does harm to childrenˈs creative thinking. B. Bilingualism is of little academic benefit to children. C. Bilingual children tend to develop short-term memory. D. Bilingual children are less likely to achieve success in career. 29.What can we infer from the study led by Lauchlan? ( ) A. Bilingual children perform better in all aspects. B. Children from Scotland are more intelligent than those from Sardinia. C. The more languages a child learns, the better their cognitive abilities. D. Formal education in a second language contributes to bilingual childrenˈs better performance. 30.Why is a bilingual marketing professional mentioned in the last paragraph? ( ) A. To explain why learning marketing skills is necessary for bilinguals. B. To prove that marketing is the most suitable career for bilinguals. C. To display that bilinguals can get higher salaries in the marketing field. D. To illustrate how bilingualism brings benefits in international business. 31.What is the main idea of the text? ( ) A. The cognitive and practical advantages of being bilingual. B. The history of bilingual education and its future development. C. The comparison between different bilingual learning methods. D. The challenges children face when learning a second language. 【答案】B、D、D、A 【解析】【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了关于双语的研究以及研究发现第二语言的正规教育有助于双语儿童更好的表现，促进儿童的发展，并且双语能力可以在国际商务中带来好处。 1.  细节理解题。根据第二段“faulty research… had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a childˈs academic achievements”可知，历史上曾存在双语对学业有害的错误观念。故选B。 2.  推理判断题。根据第三段“Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the formerˈs formal education in Gaelic”可推断，接受第二语言正规教育的儿童表现更优。故选D。 3.  推理判断题。根据最后一段“bilingualism also offers practical advantages… A bilingual marketing professional can better understand and target diverse consumer groups”可知，举例旨在说明双语在国际商务中的实际优势。故选D。 4.  主旨大意题。根据首段“this process gives multilingual people an edge”及各段关于认知优势(第二至四段)和职业优势(末段)的论述可知，文章核心是阐述双语的认知与实践双重益处。故选A。 D Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities at Columbia University since 1998. He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. This development puzzled Dames until a first-year student shared how challenging she had found the early assignments. The student said that at her public high school, she was only assigned passages, but not entire books. "My jaw dropped," Dames told me. This helped explain the change: Itˈs not that they donˈt want to read. Itˈs that they donˈt know how. Failing to complete a 14-line poem without giving in to distraction (干扰) suggests one familiar explanation for the decrease in reading ability: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly drawn by their devices. Reading books, even for pleasure, canˈt compete with TikTok. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadnˈt read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped. But high school kids appear to be encountering fewer and fewer books in the classroom as well. Since the ability to read an entire book is difficult to assess, teachers focus on skills that are easier to measure. They have shifted from books to short passages, followed by questions about the authorˈs main idea, just as standardized reading-comprehension tests do. Faced with this situation, many college professors feel they have no choice but to assign less reading and lower their expectations. This means students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books. Reading enlarges your sympathies. Deep reading — sustained focus on a text — encourages a number of valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflection, in ways that skimming or reading in short passages does not. I can imagine worse preparations for the trials, and thrills, of Literature Humanities. But weˈve never forgotten the originals. To understand the human condition, and to appreciate humankindˈs greatest achievements, you still need to read The Iliad— all of it. 32.What does the underlined word "bewildered" mean in Paragraph 1? ( ) A. Delighted. B. Confused. C. Amazed. D. Relieved. 33.Why does the author list numbers in Paragraph 2? ( ) A. To highlight the rise of social media. B. To clarify the problems of smartphones. C. To illustrate the change in reading methods. D. To demonstrate the decline in book reading. 34.What is a result of professors assigning less reading? ( ) A. The shortage of learning motivation. B. The reduction of genuine sympathies. C. The loss of cognitive growth opportunities. D. The restriction of personal academic progress. 35.What is the authorˈs attitude towards reading originals? ( ) A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 【答案】B、D、C、B 【解析】【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学生阅读量较少这一现象及其对学生的影响。 1.  词义猜测题。根据第一段“students have become bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester”以及后文学生表示高中只读过节选而非整本书的解释，可知学生对此感到困惑。故选B。 2.  推理判断题。根据第二段“about 40 percent… read at least six books… By 2022, those percentages had flipped”的数据对比，结合段首“the decrease in reading ability”的语境，可知数字旨在展示阅读书籍人数的显著下降。故选D。 3.  细节理解题。根据第四段“students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books”和“Deep reading… encourages a number of valuable mental habits”可知，减少阅读意味着失去深度阅读带来的认知发展机会。故选C。 4.  观点态度题。根据最后一段“weˈve never forgotten the originals”和“you still need to read The Iliad— all of it”的强调语气，可见作者坚信阅读原著的价值，态度明确支持。故选B。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Talking over text is a convenient way to get to know someone new or catch up with old friends, but sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to say next.   (36)  . Ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions require more thoughtful and detailed responses.   (37) . If the other person just told you something about themselves, ask them to elaborate on that, or come up with your own open-ended question. This gives the other person an opportunity to talk about their interests in-depth.   (38) . Ask the other person to tell you about something. To have a good conversation, both people should be asking and answering questions. If you feel like youˈve mainly been talking about yourself, redirect the conversation to the other person. Avoid dry, short answers.   (39) . Remember, conversations are a two-way street, so make sure you put in the effort to respond to the person youˈre texting. If someone asks you a question and you give them a one-word answer, youˈre forcing them to do all the work to keep the conversation flowing. Ask about the other personˈs day. Show them youˈre interested in their life. Asking about someoneˈs day is a pretty low-effort question that can actually lead to a lot of interesting conversations. Consider also telling them something about your day, so you have something to talk about if they donˈt have much to add. Ask follow-up questions. Let the other person elaborate on their responses. Instead of moving on with the conversation, ask follow-up questions about what the other person just said.   (40)  and making an effort to engage with them. A．Find the shared interest B．Shift the focus to the other person C．Itˈs better to give the other person something to work with D．Luckily, there are a ton of ways you can keep things interesting E．This means that you are avoiding getting involved in a boring topic F．This shows them that youˈre paying attention to what theyˈre saying G．They encourage the other person to answer with more than "yes" or "no" 36.A.

To have a good conversation, both people should be asking and answering questions. If you feel like youˈve mainly been talking about yourself, redirect the conversation to the other person.”可知，该段主要内容是要让对方讲述一些事情，当感觉自己主要在谈论自己时，要把对话引向对方。B选项符合该段主旨，能够概括该段内容。故选B项。 4.  根据主题句“Avoid dry, short answers.”可知，该段强调“避免回答得过于简短和枯燥”。设空句紧跟其后，应是具体解释什么样的回答是不简短的。选项C是对“不简短”的解释，同时表示一种建议或推荐，符合上下文的语气和逻辑。故选C项。 5.  前文“Instead of moving on with the conversation, ask follow-up questions about what the other person just said.”提出要就对方的话题跟进，这是一项建议，由此推知，设空句应是就该建议的好处进行说明，以说服读者。F选项解释了问跟进问题的作用和意义，与前文逻辑一致。故选F项。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 Sometime around 1974, long before Steve Jobs coined the phrase "Think Different", my dad and I were walking on Hope Street. Suddenly, I      (41)      a lottery(彩票) store and asked my father excitedly, "Daddy, can we      (42)      the lottery? Maybe we can make money!" Without hesitation he replied, "We just did. We      (43)      a dollar every time we pass the store without buying a      (44)     ." Daddy's      (45)      led me to think of money, investing and opportunity cost in "     (46)     " ways. For instance, when I was at the University of Pennsylvania, the cost of each hour of class time was extremely high—about $140 for each hour of instruction. Thus, I never      (47)      a class. Similarly, when I was in credit card debt at a 20% interest rate, every time I spent $20 I      (48)      thought of it as a $24 purchase to      (49)      myself to pay off the debt faster. So if there is a(n)      (50)      force that has guided my life, it was born from my father believing that he won $1 every time he didn't buy a lottery ticket. This different way of thinking      (51)      my overall view of everything that most people consider to be "     (52)     ".

Money was placed into an offering box with only the recipient's name on the envelope, ensuring the giver remained anonymous(匿名的). This thoughtful practice protected the dignity of those receiving help. There was a time when my husband and I didn't have enough money. We didn't tell anyone about our problem, not even our children. We had to stop buying many things. Our children probably knew we were worried, but we hoped they didn't know how serious it was. We didn't want to make them sad with a problem they couldn't fix. As our situation failed to improve, despair began to creep in. Just when we felt we had exhausted all options, a glimmer of hope appeared. Our church handed us an envelope from the offering box. To our immense relief and joy, it contained a substantial amount of money—enough to see us through that desperate time. We were overwhelmed with gratitude, constantly wondering who our secret benefactor could be. A year passed, and life moved forward. Our seventeen-year-old son began applying to university. He needed to use the money he had saved from his part-time job. But then we found out something shocking: his savings account was almost empty. We were very upset and worried. We thought he had been saving his money for school. I confronted him, my voice tight with concern and disappointment. "Where has all your money gone?" I asked. He avoided my eyes, refusing to answer. His silence only fueled(增加) my anxiety and frustration. I couldn't let it go; I pressed him repeatedly, determined to uncover the truth. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, under my persistent questioning, my son broke down in tears. __________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Hearing his confession(坦白), I was completely speechless. __________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally, under my persistent questioning, my son broke down in tears. He confessed that he had donated all his hard-earned savings to the church's offering box. He remembered how that anonymous donation had once saved our family from financial despair and wanted to do the same for someone else in need. His heart was filled with empathy and a desire to pass on the kindness that had been shown to us. Hearing his confession, I was completely speechless. My initial shock quickly gave way to a profound sense of pride and admiration. Here was my son, showing such selflessness and compassion at such a young age. I hugged him tightly, tears of joy and gratitude streaming down my face. We decided to work together to find ways to support his university dreams while also encouraging his generous spirit. His action had reminded me that kindness is a cycle, one that can uplift and inspire others in ways we can never imagine. 【解析】略 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2026届高三全真模拟适应性考试 英语 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.Which instrument does the man play now?

B We've all been there: in a line with a basket of a few items for payment, cash or credit cards prepared, perhaps with only one or two customers ahead of us. And so it was today for me at a shop a mile or so from my home. I had three items. A woman with her teenage boys ahead of me had twice as many items as mine. The customer at the register, a white-haired woman, had already begun to bag her items and was holding out cash to pay for them. Then came the problem. Sometimes it's a customer who forgot to weigh a piece of fruit, or someone searching for exact change. Fair enough. One waits. But today, it was something else. For whatever reason, this white-haired woman didn't have enough money. And so she began choosing which items to keep and which to hand back. She looked at each one for a long time before keeping or giving it up. We waited. Longer lines rushed ahead. The wait went on and on. Outside, my bus came and went. Finally, the woman turned back to us as she left, with her face turning red. We waved off her discomfiture. It could happen to anyone. We were honestly understanding. But I had no idea just how understanding the family ahead of me were until their turn came. The woman with the teenagers asked the cashier to add all the items the white-haired woman had left to her list as quickly as possible. The cashier did as told. Then the two boys rushed to the white-haired woman with the small bag of items. When they returned, it was clear their task had been completed. All it took to witness this act of kindness was waiting a little longer in a checkout line. I could have caught the next bus. But I felt so light on my feet that I walked home instead. 24.How does the author start the text? A. By introducing a way of payment. B. By describing a situation in a shop. C. By comparing customers' behaviours. D. By showing the preparation for shopping. 25.What problem did the white-haired woman have? A. She couldn't afford all the goods she chose. B.

She couldn't find the accurate change. 26.What does the underlined word "discomfiture" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confusion. B. Anger. C. Tiredness. D. Awkwardness. 27.What was the two teenagers' task? A. Putting the items into the small bags. B. Helping the cashier to add up the items. C. Sending the white-haired woman her unpaid items. D. Placing the white-haired woman's items on the shelf. C Being bilingual (双语的) means learning to deal with two different ways of naming and perceiving reality. That requires the bilingual brain to learn to think in both languages and to switch between them effortlessly, a process known as code switching. Some researchers believe this process gives multilingual people an edge. Historically, the scientific community held the belief that second language acquisition could slow down a childˈs academic progress. However, contemporary understanding firmly acknowledges the cognitive (认知的) benefits bilingual children possess. Dr Fraser Lauchlan, an honorary lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, noted that faulty research from the 1930s to 1950s, since discredited, had caused the misperception that bilingualism could be harmful to a childˈs academic achievements. Subsequent studies, especially the landmark research by Peal and Lambert in 1962, have clearly demonstrated that bilingualism brings no disadvantages and, in fact, offers advantages in specific language and cognitive areas: selective attention, metalinguistic awareness, creative and flexible thinking (including problem-solving), and short-term memory. In a study headed by Lauchlan, involving primary school students from Scotland (learning Gaelic and English concurrently) and Sardinia (exposed to Italian and Sardinian), the cognitive differences between monolingual (单语的) and bilingual children were measured. Of the 121 participants, 62 were bilingual and exhibited superior task-completion capabilities. Notably, Gaelic-speaking children outperformed their Sardinian counterparts. Lauchlan put this down to the formerˈs formal education in Gaelic, while Sardinian was mostly an oral language lacking standardized form. Ellen Bialystok of York University in Toronto has conducted extensive research, concluding that bilingualism promotes a childˈs development. Lauchlan advises that for the best bilingualism, children should start learning a second language alongside their first, or at least as early as possible. Research indicates that bilinguals have an easier time acquiring further languages and display greater cultural receptivity (接受度). Moreover, in the globalized era, bilingualism also offers practical advantages in career prospects. Multinational corporations often seek employees with multilingual abilities to facilitate international business operations. A bilingual marketing professional can better understand and target diverse consumer groups, bridging cultural gaps and enhancing market share. Thus, developing bilingual capabilities from an early age can open doors to a broader range of opportunities in the future. 28.What is a misconception of bilingualismˈs impact? ( ) A. Bilingualism does harm to childrenˈs creative thinking. B. Bilingualism is of little academic benefit to children. C. Bilingual children tend to develop short-term memory. D. Bilingual children are less likely to achieve success in career. 29.What can we infer from the study led by Lauchlan? ( ) A. Bilingual children perform better in all aspects. B. Children from Scotland are more intelligent than those from Sardinia. C. The more languages a child learns, the better their cognitive abilities. D. Formal education in a second language contributes to bilingual childrenˈs better performance. 30.Why is a bilingual marketing professional mentioned in the last paragraph? ( ) A. To explain why learning marketing skills is necessary for bilinguals. B. To prove that marketing is the most suitable career for bilinguals. C. To display that bilinguals can get higher salaries in the marketing field. D. To illustrate how bilingualism brings benefits in international business. 31.What is the main idea of the text? ( ) A. The cognitive and practical advantages of being bilingual. B. The history of bilingual education and its future development. C. The comparison between different bilingual learning methods. D. The challenges children face when learning a second language. D Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities at Columbia University since 1998. He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. This development puzzled Dames until a first-year student shared how challenging she had found the early assignments. The student said that at her public high school, she was only assigned passages, but not entire books. "My jaw dropped," Dames told me. This helped explain the change: Itˈs not that they donˈt want to read. Itˈs that they donˈt know how. Failing to complete a 14-line poem without giving in to distraction (干扰) suggests one familiar explanation for the decrease in reading ability: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly drawn by their devices. Reading books, even for pleasure, canˈt compete with TikTok. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadnˈt read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped. But high school kids appear to be encountering fewer and fewer books in the classroom as well. Since the ability to read an entire book is difficult to assess, teachers focus on skills that are easier to measure. They have shifted from books to short passages, followed by questions about the authorˈs main idea, just as standardized reading-comprehension tests do. Faced with this situation, many college professors feel they have no choice but to assign less reading and lower their expectations. This means students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books. Reading enlarges your sympathies. Deep reading — sustained focus on a text — encourages a number of valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflection, in ways that skimming or reading in short passages does not. I can imagine worse preparations for the trials, and thrills, of Literature Humanities. But weˈve never forgotten the originals. To understand the human condition, and to appreciate humankindˈs greatest achievements, you still need to read The Iliad— all of it. 32.What does the underlined word "bewildered" mean in Paragraph 1? ( ) A. Delighted. B. Confused. C. Amazed. D. Relieved. 33.Why does the author list numbers in Paragraph 2? ( ) A. To highlight the rise of social media. B. To clarify the problems of smartphones. C. To illustrate the change in reading methods. D. To demonstrate the decline in book reading. 34.What is a result of professors assigning less reading? ( ) A. The shortage of learning motivation. B. The reduction of genuine sympathies. C. The loss of cognitive growth opportunities. D. The restriction of personal academic progress. 35.What is the authorˈs attitude towards reading originals? ( ) A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Talking over text is a convenient way to get to know someone new or catch up with old friends, but sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to say next.   (36)  . Ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions require more thoughtful and detailed responses.   (37) . If the other person just told you something about themselves, ask them to elaborate on that, or come up with your own open-ended question. This gives the other person an opportunity to talk about their interests in-depth.   (38) . Ask the other person to tell you about something. To have a good conversation, both people should be asking and answering questions. If you feel like youˈve mainly been talking about yourself, redirect the conversation to the other person. Avoid dry, short answers.   (39) . Remember, conversations are a two-way street, so make sure you put in the effort to respond to the person youˈre texting. If someone asks you a question and you give them a one-word answer, youˈre forcing them to do all the work to keep the conversation flowing. Ask about the other personˈs day. Show them youˈre interested in their life. Asking about someoneˈs day is a pretty low-effort question that can actually lead to a lot of interesting conversations. Consider also telling them something about your day, so you have something to talk about if they donˈt have much to add. Ask follow-up questions. Let the other person elaborate on their responses. Instead of moving on with the conversation, ask follow-up questions about what the other person just said.   (40)  and making an effort to engage with them. A．Find the shared interest B．Shift the focus to the other person C．Itˈs better to give the other person something to work with D．Luckily, there are a ton of ways you can keep things interesting E．This means that you are avoiding getting involved in a boring topic F．This shows them that youˈre paying attention to what theyˈre saying G．They encourage the other person to answer with more than "yes" or "no" 36.A.

Money was placed into an offering box with only the recipient's name on the envelope, ensuring the giver remained anonymous(匿名的). This thoughtful practice protected the dignity of those receiving help. There was a time when my husband and I didn't have enough money. We didn't tell anyone about our problem, not even our children. We had to stop buying many things. Our children probably knew we were worried, but we hoped they didn't know how serious it was. We didn't want to make them sad with a problem they couldn't fix. As our situation failed to improve, despair began to creep in. Just when we felt we had exhausted all options, a glimmer of hope appeared. Our church handed us an envelope from the offering box. To our immense relief and joy, it contained a substantial amount of money—enough to see us through that desperate time. We were overwhelmed with gratitude, constantly wondering who our secret benefactor could be. A year passed, and life moved forward. Our seventeen-year-old son began applying to university. He needed to use the money he had saved from his part-time job. But then we found out something shocking: his savings account was almost empty. We were very upset and worried. We thought he had been saving his money for school. I confronted him, my voice tight with concern and disappointment. "Where has all your money gone?" I asked. He avoided my eyes, refusing to answer. His silence only fueled(增加) my anxiety and frustration. I couldn't let it go; I pressed him repeatedly, determined to uncover the truth. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, under my persistent questioning, my son broke down in tears. __________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Hearing his confession(坦白), I was completely speechless. __________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
