I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing. The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests. I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled. With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on. We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen. From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear — that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild. 4. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Stimulated. B. Ended. C. Supported. D. Proved. 5. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3? A. I was awed by the powerful nature. B. I became modest after my 21st birthday. C. I was attracted by the history of the area. D. I got curious about the secrets of the forest. 6. Which word can best describe the guide? A. Conservative. B. Considerate. C. Practiced. D. Indecisive. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The passion for nature. B. The feature of 4 books. C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历，讲述了旅行中的所见所闻。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“my lack of scientific talent quickly”以及后文“but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.”可知，but表示转折，说明作者缺乏科学天赋，很快结束了这个想法，但对大自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是生活和写作的支柱。故划线词意思是“结束”。故选B。 【5题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第三段“It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled. (似乎没有办法进去。这片荒野封闭着它的秘密。从海滩走进森林，我立刻感受到这个地区的历史——它给人一种古老的感觉，不可能不感到谦卑)”以及最后一段“From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear (正是这种不安的感觉——不断变化的情感、秘密与敬畏、美丽与恐惧)”可推知，第3段中的“不可能不感到谦卑”意思是“我对大自然的强大感到敬畏”。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on. (有个更大的东西穿过灌木丛，我的向导突然停了下来。听着。我的心都提到嗓子眼儿了。然后，在一些看不见的信号之后，我的向导放松了下来，我们继续前进)”可推知，导游从一开始看到更大的东西停下来，到后来看到信号之后放松了下来，说明他很有经验。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“ I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began — it’s something that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. (我不记得我对受保护的大熊雨林的热爱是什么时候开始的——它一直在那里，尽管我在那里一次待的时间没有超过一个月。)”和“ Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly  put paid to that idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚 ) in my life and in my writing.(不幸的是，也许是幸运的是，我缺乏科学天赋，很快打消了这个想法，但对自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是我生活和写作的支柱(锚)。)”以及最后一段的“  It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear — that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than  Children of the Sun , and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.(正是这种不安的感觉——不断变化的情感、秘密与敬畏、美丽与恐惧——滋养了我的四本书，其中最重要的是《太阳的孩子》，并在我心中植入了对荒野的终身热爱。)”可知，文章通过讲说作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历阐述了对大自然的热爱。故选A。 C During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior. Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.” In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.” Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others. In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said. 8. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school? A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The classification of the popular. B. The characteristics of adolescents. C. The importance of interpersonal skills. D. The causes of dishonorable behavior. 10. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids? A. They appeared to be aggressive. B. They tended to be more adaptable. C. They enjoyed the highest status. D. They performed well academically. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last B. The Higher the Status, the Better C. Be the Best—You Can Make It D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了受欢迎度对青少年的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段During the rosy years of elementary school, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status.可知，在美好的小学时光里，作者喜欢分享她的娃娃和笑话，由此推断出，作者在早年的小学时期是一个慷慨的女孩。A. Unkind不友善的；B. Lonely寂寞的；C. Generous慷慨的；D. Cool冷静的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers.（临床心理学教授Mitch Prinstein将受欢迎的人分为两类:讨人喜欢的人和追求地位的人。）是段落主题句，本段内容分别对the likable 和the status seekers做了解释，所以本段主要介绍了两种受欢迎的分类，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment （它清楚地表明，讨人喜欢可以促使健全的调整）推断出，心理学教授Mitch Prinstein的研究表明，讨人喜欢的孩子适应性更强，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读全文内容，尤其是最后一段，可知这篇文章主要讲了受欢迎度对青少年的影响，讨人喜欢对青少年成长都有深远的有益影响。与选项A“友善一点——你将不会排在最后（你不会完蛋/你会笑到最后）”一致，故选A。 D Moodiness, constant homework delays, and difficulty in concentrating are common struggles among teenagers. Lately on social media, some people have been blaming these issues on one specific thing: the underdevelopment of their frontal lobes (前额叶). There is actually solid science behind this phenomenon. The human brain is divided into two halves, and each contains four lobes. The frontal lobes are the largest pair, making up a huge part of the brain’s outer layer. Acting like the brain’s “CEO”, the frontal lobes help an individual think strategically and put off impulsive (冲动的) actions. As a person grows, this vital region gradually develops connections with other brain areas. Such a complex network ensures that our daily experiences and emotions are carefully processed through that judgment center. Interestingly, brain development takes much longer than we usually assume. Although the brain reaches about 95 percent of its adult size between ages 16 and 20, the frontal lobes do not fully mature until around age 25. The long maturation journey involves a process called “pruning”, in which rarely used nerve cells simply die off based on the “use it or lose it” principle. For some individuals, such a shaping process might even continue well into their 30s. Because of this slow development, the brain’s emotion center isn’t fully connected to the frontal lobes during adolescence. This delay is particularly obvious in teenagers. Normally, logical thinking and emotions must work together to make wise decisions. However, a teen may understand an issue intellectually, their emotional response often happens separately from their logic. This disconnect frequently leads to impulsive decisions, as the two brain centers are not yet in a perfect “dialogue”. Despite being the final brain areas to fully develop, the frontal lobes are the earliest to decline, a process that typically starts in the mid-40s. Therefore, it is highly recommended that we take active steps to keep our brain’s “CEO” healthy. We can achieve this by constantly staying curious, focusing on what is truly important, and learning to ignore less relevant activities and information in our daily lives. 12. What is the main responsibility of frontal lobes? A. To determine the brain size. B. To speed up physical growth. C. To produce complex emotions. D. To manage thinking and impulses. 13. What is the feature of brain growth in youth? A. Brain size peaks in adolescence. B. Frontal lobes mature relatively slowly. C. Brain development stops before age 20. D. Active nerve cells gradually die off. 14. Why do teenagers tend to make impulsive choices? A. Their frontal lobes decline too early. B. They ignore the brain’s growth rules. C. Their logic and emotion fail to connect. D. They are misled by social media. 15. How can people maintain brain health? A. Ensure enough sleep. B. Start brain training early. C. Control negative emotions. D. Overlook less important details. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了大脑前额叶的发育特点、对青少年的影响及护脑方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Acting like the brain’s “CEO”, the frontal lobes help an individual think strategically and put off impulsive (冲动的) actions. (前额叶就像大脑的“CEO”，帮助人们进行策略性思考、抑制冲动行为。)”可知，前额叶的主要职责是管理思考和冲动。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although the brain reaches about 95 percent of its adult size between ages 16 and 20, the frontal lobes do not fully mature until around age 25. (尽管大脑在16到20岁之间就能达到成年体积的95%，但前额叶要到25岁左右才会完全发育成熟。)”可知，青少年大脑发育的特点是前额叶成熟速度相对较慢。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, a teen may understand an issue intellectually, their emotional response often happens separately from their logic. This disconnect frequently leads to impulsive decisions, as the two brain centers are not yet in a perfect “dialogue”. (然而，青少年可能在理智上理解某个问题，但他们的情绪反应往往与逻辑思维分离。这种脱节常常导致冲动的决定，因为这两个大脑中枢尚未形成完美的“对话”。)”可知，青少年容易做出冲动选择是因为他们的逻辑和情绪无法连通。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We can achieve this by constantly staying curious, focusing on what is truly important, and learning to ignore less relevant activities and information in our daily lives. (我们可以通过不断保持好奇心、关注真正重要的事、学会忽略日常中不那么相关的活动和信息来保持大脑健康。)”可知，人们可以通过忽略不太重要的细节来维持大脑健康。 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。 While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being. Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. ____16____ Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. ____17____ We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being. ____18____ Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts. Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. ____19____ By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology. Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. ____20____ Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial. A. Social media is ruining our life. B. Connect them with their inner world. C. Build their awareness of thinking traps. D. This by no means indicates all technology is bad. E. They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views. F. It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being. G. Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教育者可以采取的五种方法来支持学生的数字健康，分别是探索公司使用的设计技巧，谈论技术如何增加焦虑感，辨认思维陷阱，揭示人工智能在误传方面的作用，鼓励家庭与孩子进行有意义的对话。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. (公司知道什么可以让我们的眼睛停留在屏幕上。为了帮助学生，教育者可以揭示设计技巧，解释公司如何利用自动播放等功能来让用户留在他们的应用程序上)”可知，此处强调教师可以为孩子们揭示公司如何利用自动播放等功能来让用户留在他们的应用程序上，后文应对这种做法的结果进行描述。G选项“Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.(了解这些可以激励学生重新获得他们的注意力)”，通过帮助学生们揭示公司吸引学生的设计技巧，解释公司如何利用自动播放等功能来让用户留在他们的应用程序，这些行为可以激励学生重新获得他们的注意力。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据前文“The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use.(青少年心理健康状况的下降与社交媒体使用的增加有关)”以及后文“We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.(我们可以帮助我们的学生，让他们考虑科技的好处，然后考虑改变那些不利于他们健康的习惯)”可知，虽然青少年心理健康状况的下降与社交媒体使用的增加有关，可知并不是所有的科技都是坏的，我们可以帮助学生们考虑科技的好处，同时改变科技带来的不健康的习惯。D选项“This by no means indicates all technology is bad. (这绝不意味着所有的技术都是不好的)”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文的“These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.(这些都是思维陷阱的经典例子。识别它们可以帮助青少年摆脱一些消极的想法)”可知，本段通过经典例子，说明了思维陷阱对青少年产生的影响。C选项“Build their awareness of thinking traps.(建立他们对思维陷阱的意识)”概括本段段旨，指出帮助青少年建立对思维陷阱的意识，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. (人工智能正在迅速改变世界。推荐算法决定了我们在信息流和搜索结果中可以看到什么，不能看到什么，它可能会产生非常现实的后果)”可知，此处强调大数据的推荐算法会产生一些非现实的后果，后文对此行为带来的消极影响进行进一步说明。E选项“They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.(它们会把我们拉向越来越极端的观点)”承接前文，指出推荐算法会把我们拉向越来越极端的观点，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. (鼓励家长与孩子进行有意义的对话。花点时间和家人分享你在课堂上教授的话题和资源)”可知，此处鼓励家长和孩子之间进行有意义的交流，沟通和分享。F选项“It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.(事实证明，成年人和孩子都追求数字幸福。)”承接前文，并引出下文“Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.(知道我们都在同一条船上是至关重要的。)”，符合语境。故选F。 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。 After the planned itinerary (行程), we ended our grand family visit to the Grand Canyon.

No. It was winning a stuffed monkey from a machine.”可知，此处询问的是旅行中印象深刻的回忆。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：经过周密的旅行准备，他们最珍视的事是成功赢到价值2美元玩具的那一刻。A. desired渴望；B. valued珍视；C. considered考虑；D. needed需要。根据前文“I asked my kids about their favorite ____ of the trip.”可知，这件事是孩子们心中最看重的经历。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. attempted尝试；B. afforded负担得起；C. volunteered自愿；D. managed设法做成。根据前文“It was winning a stuffed monkey from a machine.”可知，孩子们顺利赢得了玩具。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一开始我很震惊，但随后我想起类似的事已经不是第一次发生了。A. optimistic乐观的；B. alert警觉的；C. shocked震惊的；D. relieved宽慰的。根据前文“winning a stuffed monkey from a machine.”及“careful travel preparation”的对比可知，作者精心规划旅行，孩子却偏爱赢小玩具这件事，作者内心感到意外。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. approached靠近；B. happened发生；C. worsened恶化；D. changed改变。根据后文“Several years ago, after another family trip”的举例可知，这类情况此前就出现过。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：几年前另一次家庭旅行后，我向我的一个孩子提出了类似的问题。A. posed提出；B. faced面对；C. answered回答；D. analysed分析。根据后文“He said, “I learned to whistle.””可知，作者向孩子提出了问题。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：留在我们记忆里的时刻，并不总是我们所期待的那些。A. admire钦佩；B. mention提及；C. experience经历；D. expect期待。根据前文“The breathtaking views? The road trips? No. It was winning a stuffed monkey from a machine.”及“careful travel preparation”可知，作者用心筹备旅行，本以为美景会让孩子难忘，结果孩子最难忘的是赢得一个玩具，这说明记忆中的瞬间往往和预想不同。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：在一个敦促我们追求更大、更好、更多事物的文化环境里，欣然接纳更小、更简单的事物有悖于我们的固有习惯。A. contributes to促成；B. relies on依靠；C. goes against违背；D. falls into陷入。根据前文“pushes us to think bigger, better, and more”及后文“welcome something smaller and simpler”可知，接纳简单平凡的事物和主流观念不符。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们总有强烈的愿望为家人打造奇妙难忘的经历，因为我们发自内心深爱他们。A. inspiration灵感；B. opportunity机会；C. support支持；D. urge强烈欲望。根据后文“for we love them from the heart”可知，因为深爱家人，内心深处有着这样的想法与渴望。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：但那些留意并享受平凡小事的人，能获得更多、更长久的幸福感。A. creative有创造力的；B. ordinary普通的；C. magical神奇的；D. pure纯粹的。根据后文“a random Tuesday night of you laughing at a funny joke”可知，此处指代日常普通的小事。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：这也是为什么你会觉得一个普通的周二夜晚，自己因听到一个有趣笑话而开怀大笑，这种时刻竟然会和精心筹备的庆祝活动一样令人难忘。A. strategy策略；B. demand要求；C. reason原因；D. motivation动力。根据前文“people who notice and enjoy ____ things experience greater, long-term well-being.”可知，因平凡小事而幸福，所以才会将周二夜晚的开怀大笑和精心筹备庆祝活动看作同样特别，前者是后者的原因。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。A. jointly共同地；B. quickly快速地；C. periodically定期地；D. carefully精心地。根据前文“With careful travel preparation”可知，此处是指用心筹备的庆典。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：意义不是我们创造出来的——它本就存在于微小、意料之外的地方。A. produce生产，造出；B. select挑选；C. understand理解；D. explain解释。根据后文“already exists in small, unexpected spaces”可知，生活的意义并非人为创造。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：所以放下对盛大完美时刻的追逐，活在当下，专注于眼前正在发生的一切。A. popularity流行；B. challenge挑战；C. pursuit追逐；D. benefit益处。根据后文“and instead be present”可知，此处是指放弃追求重大完美瞬间。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. disappearing消失；B. unfolding逐步展开；C. underperforming表现不佳；D. restarting重启。根据前文“be present”可知，要专注于当下正在发生的事情。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Incense (香) boasts a long history, ____36____ its roots in many cultures— ancient China, ancient Egypt, Babylon and beyond.

The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week. My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere. We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated. We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?” I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!” Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry. For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized my mistake. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I realized my mistake. As I sat alone listening to Chopin that evening, his nocturne’s gentle flow reminded me of our friendship’s harmony. My harsh words echoed in my mind — calling rock “noise” was unfair. Music, like friendship, shouldn’t be judged by its volume but by the feelings it carries. Tom’s passion for rock mirrored my love for classics; neither deserved disrespect. Swallowing my pride, I grabbed my phone and typed, “Can we talk tomorrow? I owe you an apology.” With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house. The door swung open, revealing Tom’s hesitant face. Before I could speak, he blurted, “I’m sorry too! I shouldn’t have stormed off.” Relief washed over me. “No, I was wrong to insult your music,” I admitted. He grinned, pulling out his headphones. “Wanna try my favorite rock song? I’ll explain why it moves me.” As the energetic chords filled my ears, I finally heard the passion he cherished — and understood that true friendship harmonizes different rhythms. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小热爱古典音乐，好友汤姆则痴迷摇滚，两人此前从未因音乐品味起争执。上周五在公园，两人因互相贬低对方喜爱的音乐爆发激烈争吵，之后三天互不往来。作者在独处时意识到自己的错误，不该不尊重汤姆的爱好，主动道歉后，他们和解并尝试理解彼此的音乐，也懂得了真正的友谊能包容不同。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到了自己的错误”可知，第一段可描写作者在独处时意识到自己的错误，不该不尊重汤姆的爱好。 ②由第二段首句内容“怀着紧张的心情，我按响了汤姆家的门铃”可知，第二段可描写作者主动道歉后，他们和解并尝试理解彼此的音乐，也懂得了真正的友谊能包容不同。 2.续写线索：认识到错误——拨打电话——去汤姆家——道歉——和解——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①珍惜：cherish/value ②打动：move/touch ③拿起：grab/pick up 情绪类 ①热情：passion/ardour ②刺耳的：harsh/grinding 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I sat alone listening to Chopin that evening, his nocturne’s gentle flow reminded me of our friendship’s harmony.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] I’ll explain why it moves me.（运用了why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新蔡一高2025—2026学年下学期7月月考 高二英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1．What did Jack do?

B I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began — it’s something that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing. The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests. I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled. With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on. We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen. From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear — that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild. 4. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Stimulated. B. Ended. C. Supported. D. Proved. 5. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3? A. I was awed by the powerful nature. B. I became modest after my 21st birthday. C. I was attracted by the history of the area. D. I got curious about the secrets of the forest. 6. Which word can best describe the guide? A. Conservative. B. Considerate. C. Practiced. D. Indecisive. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The passion for nature. B. The feature of 4 books. C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions. C During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior. Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.” In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.” Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others. In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said. 8. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school? A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The classification of the popular. B. The characteristics of adolescents. C. The importance of interpersonal skills. D. The causes of dishonorable behavior. 10. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids? A. They appeared to be aggressive. B. They tended to be more adaptable. C. They enjoyed the highest status. D. They performed well academically. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last B. The Higher the Status, the Better C. Be the Best—You Can Make It D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness D Moodiness, constant homework delays, and difficulty in concentrating are common struggles among teenagers. Lately on social media, some people have been blaming these issues on one specific thing: the underdevelopment of their frontal lobes (前额叶). There is actually solid science behind this phenomenon. The human brain is divided into two halves, and each contains four lobes. The frontal lobes are the largest pair, making up a huge part of the brain’s outer layer. Acting like the brain’s “CEO”, the frontal lobes help an individual think strategically and put off impulsive (冲动的) actions. As a person grows, this vital region gradually develops connections with other brain areas. Such a complex network ensures that our daily experiences and emotions are carefully processed through that judgment center. Interestingly, brain development takes much longer than we usually assume. Although the brain reaches about 95 percent of its adult size between ages 16 and 20, the frontal lobes do not fully mature until around age 25. The long maturation journey involves a process called “pruning”, in which rarely used nerve cells simply die off based on the “use it or lose it” principle. For some individuals, such a shaping process might even continue well into their 30s. Because of this slow development, the brain’s emotion center isn’t fully connected to the frontal lobes during adolescence. This delay is particularly obvious in teenagers. Normally, logical thinking and emotions must work together to make wise decisions. However, a teen may understand an issue intellectually, their emotional response often happens separately from their logic. This disconnect frequently leads to impulsive decisions, as the two brain centers are not yet in a perfect “dialogue”. Despite being the final brain areas to fully develop, the frontal lobes are the earliest to decline, a process that typically starts in the mid-40s. Therefore, it is highly recommended that we take active steps to keep our brain’s “CEO” healthy. We can achieve this by constantly staying curious, focusing on what is truly important, and learning to ignore less relevant activities and information in our daily lives. 12. What is the main responsibility of frontal lobes? A. To determine the brain size. B. To speed up physical growth. C. To produce complex emotions. D. To manage thinking and impulses. 13. What is the feature of brain growth in youth? A. Brain size peaks in adolescence. B. Frontal lobes mature relatively slowly. C. Brain development stops before age 20. D. Active nerve cells gradually die off. 14. Why do teenagers tend to make impulsive choices? A. Their frontal lobes decline too early. B. They ignore the brain’s growth rules. C. Their logic and emotion fail to connect. D. They are misled by social media. 15. How can people maintain brain health? A. Ensure enough sleep. B. Start brain training early. C. Control negative emotions. D. Overlook less important details. 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。 While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it.

The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week. My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere. We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated. We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?” I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!” Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry. For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized my mistake. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
