B Being devoted to native plants may not seem like a way for success as a social media influencer. But let’s meet Kyle Lybarger. Born and raised in Alabama, Lybarger has found unexpected internet popularity by introducing his followers to the little-known world of southeastern native plants. When asked, Lybarger says his social media success is due to a firm belief, a positive energy he gained from his late dad and, largely, not worrying about what others think. It all started with what Lybarger now recognizes as a terrible error. About a decade ago, when managing a private forest, he poured it with chemicals to plant food for wildlife, yet the seeds failed to grow. However, wild flowers came into sight on the untreated edges of the land. After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, a local scientist named Kevin contacted him. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species that were ideal for attracting wildlife. In 2023, he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the plant, hoping to raise money for plant preservation. “We ended up raising over $100,000 just from T-shirts,” Lybarger says. He used most of it to buy a large piece of land where the wild native populations grew, saving the plants’ living environment from destruction. “The remaining $20,000 or so will go toward similar projects in the future,” he says. But he thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think,” he says. 4. What mainly contributes to Kyle’s online success? A. Rich knowledge of native plants. B. Inspiration from his late father. C. Ignorance of others’ comments. D. Early experience in plant protection. 5. What drove Kyle to protect native plants? A. Personal interest in wildlife. B. Expectation from his family. C. Suggestions from the local scientist. D. Reflection on his former mistake. 6. Which of the following best describes Kyle? A. Creative and practical. B. Determined and selfish. C. Reflective and direct. D. Hard-working and curious. 7. What does Kyle stress in the last paragraph? A. Rome was not built in one day. B. Small efforts can create great influence. C. It is never too late to correct one’s mistake. D. Environmental work needs money and support. C One of the great hopes for AI — at least, among workers — is that it will cut down workloads, freeing people up for more high-level, creative pursuits. So far, the opposite is happening, new data show. In fact, AI is increasing the speed, strength and difficulty of work rather than reducing it, according to an analysis of 164,000 workers’ digital work activity. Examining AI users’ digital activity 180 days before and after they began using such tools on the job, ActivTrak found AI intensified activity across nearly every type: The time they spent on email, messaging and chat apps more than doubled, while their use of business-management tools, such as accounting software, rose 94%. Meanwhile, the amount of time AI users devoted to focused work — the kind of concentration often required for figuring out tough problems, creative work — fell 9%, compared with nearly no change for nonusers. Yet, evidence so far suggests that many AI users aren’t using the technology’s advantages to give themselves a break. The ActivTrak analysis backs up findings of an eight-month study on how AI is shaping work habits at a tech company with about 200 employees. The research, still under way, has so far found the tools didn’t reduce work, but increased it. The employees worked at faster paces, took on broader areas of tasks and ended up working more hours. People often end up doing more work, not less, “because AI makes additional tasks feel easy and accessible, creating a sense of progress,” said a professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, who is leading that study. The former findings were published in a recent Harvard Business Review article. Such changes in behavior may improve productivity but they should also be a warning sign to employers, he says. “Over time this can lead to burnout, poorer decision-making, and falling work quality, even if workers appear more productive in the short run.” 8. What is the main contrast mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Creative pursuits vs daily digital work. B. Workload before vs after AI application. C. Expected AI benefits vs real work effects. D. Hoped workload cut vs faster working speed. 9. What does the underlined word “intensified” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Strengthened. B. Diversified. C. Simplified. D. Controlled. 10. Why can’t AI users reduce working hours? A. Employers add extra AI task. B. Workers underuse AI’s productivity. C. AI takes users more time on hard work. D. AI simplifies tasks, bringing more work. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. More production from AI B. The negative impacts of AI C. AI’s hidden cost for workers D. AI’s effect on creative work D Most cancer deaths occur when diseased cells spread from their original location in the body. They can often be treated in the early stages, but once the cancer has spread, “everything is much more difficult, and treatment success really reduces,” says a professor at the University of Oxford. The lungs are one of the most common sites for cancer to spread to, which has made the illnesses like flu and the common cold an area of considerable interest to scientists. A recent study offers a surprising answer: a simple cold virus, usually causing usual breathing troubles, could help delay the spread of cancer to the lungs. In the study, researchers tested the influence of a common virus that leads to colds in people. They found that when the virus is active in the lungs, it creates an environment that makes it hard for cancer cells to settle and grow. Unlike direct cancer-killing treatments, this natural method works by helping the body’s own defense system work better, rather than attacking cancer cells directly. Experiments on mice have shown that the cold virus causes the lung cells to produce a special protein that strengthens the body’s defense. It acts like a natural protective wall, stopping moving cancer cells from causing new growths in the lung tissue. However, once the cells have entered the lungs, the virus has little effect on their growth. This comes after another recent study found that the viruses behind flu may speed up the growth of cancer cells that have been lying inactive after spreading to the lungs from elsewhere. Although the study is still at an early stage, the researchers are hopeful about its future value. They believe this discovery could lead to low-cost, safe ways to prevent cancer spread, especially for patients at high risk. Still, they warn that people should not take unnecessary risks with colds. More clinical tests will be needed before the finding can be used in real medical practice. 12. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To stress the lung’s great importance. B. To show the main findings of the study. C. To warn people of cancer’s great danger. D. To give background and introduce the topic. 13. What’s the study’s finding on the cold virus? A. It can kill cancer cells directly. B. It destroys the body’s defense. C. It helps produce protective materials. D. It stops cancer cells growing in lungs. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Cold virus fails to stop cancer fully. B. Some viruses speed up cancer cells. C. Cold viruses slow down cancer spread. D. Viruses affect cancer in different ways. 15. What’s the researchers’ attitude towards the study? A. Hopeful. B. Careful. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 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。 How to Become Confident For most of us, self-confidence isn’t just something that falls out of the sky. ____16____ Fortunately, by following specific habits and practicing certain beliefs, you can improve your self-esteem and go through life with higher self-confidence. ● ____17____ Truly confident people never pretend to be the wisest person around them. Instead of showing off their knowledge to impress others, they keep curious, ask questions actively and keep learning all the time. This humble attitude makes them more popular and helps them become wiser in the process of communication and study. ●Make more eye contact A scientific study has proved the close link between self-confidence and eye contact. People with low self-esteem often avoid continuous eye contact during communication. ____18____ Proper eye contact shows one’s sincerity and concentration, creates effective emotional communication, and greatly strengthens interpersonal trust between people. ●Practice open body language Body language is a direct and obvious reflection of one’s inner confidence. Confident people always keep open and relaxed body gestures, while insecure people tend to make themselves look small and reserved. Body language and confidence influence each other mutually. Simple practice of open gestures can greatly help people rebuild inner confidence gradually. ____19____ ●Don’t care much about other people’s opinions ____20____ It is from being afraid of others’ thought. We care too much about other people’s opinions. Highly confident people, on the other hand, don’t care much about the opinions of others. They aren’t bothered with trying to impress others. They don’t care much if someone thinks what they wear, say, or do is stupid. A. Try to bravely bring out the best in you. B. Stop forcing yourself to be perfectly right. C. Lack of confidence influences many aspects of our daily life. D. But improper behaviors will slowly damage your confidence. E. Instead, confident people usually keep looking at you while talking. F. Low confidence is not mainly because we think poorly of ourselves. G. However, active communication is the key to building personal confidence. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “When I was little, I always had a strong ____21____ for buildings,” said Edna Blaise, 29, from Haiti, “but it was not until I started my journey in China that I realized Chinese ____22____ has so many things to offer.” Blaise is ____23____ studying architecture in Beijing.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一英语 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了来自阿拉巴马的凯尔因科普本土植物走红网络，早年犯错后投身植物保护，靠文创筹款护地，并呼吁大家从小行动保护本土植物。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When asked, Lybarger says his social media success is due to a firm belief, a positive energy he gained from his late dad and, largely, not worrying about what others think.( 当被问及成功的原因时，利巴格尔表示，他的社交媒体走红源于坚定的信念、来自已故父亲传递给他的积极能量，以及对他人看法几乎完全不关心的态度。)”可知，不在意他人的看法是凯尔在网络走红最核心的原因。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It all started with what Lybarger now recognizes as a terrible error. About a decade ago, when managing a private forest, he poured it with chemicals to plant food for wildlife, yet the seeds failed to grow. However, wild flowers came into sight on the untreated edges of the land. After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, a local scientist named Kevin contacted him. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species that were ideal for attracting wildlife.( 一切都始于利巴格尔现在认识到的一个可怕的错误。大约十年前，他在管理一片私人森林时，用化学药剂浇灌土地以种植野生动物食物，结果种子却未能发芽。然而，在未施药的土地边缘，却出现了野生花卉。当他将这些花朵的照片发布到Facebook上后，一位名叫凯文的本地科学家联系了他。利巴格尔意识到，自己毁掉了这片拥有一个存有无数物种的野生种子库的区域，而这些物种正是吸引野生动物的理想之选。)”可知，凯尔在管理私人林地时犯下错误，破坏了本土植物的生存基础，对这次错误的反思与愧疚驱使他走上本土植物保护的道路。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2023, he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the plant, hoping to raise money for plant preservation. “We ended up raising over $100,000 just from T-shirts,” Lybarger says. He used most of it to buy a large piece of land where the wild native populations grew, saving the plants’ living environment from destruction. “The remaining $20,000 or so will go toward similar projects in the future,” he says.( 2023年，他与一位艺术家合作设计了一款印有这种植物图案的T恤，旨在为植物保护筹集资金。“我们仅靠T恤就筹到了超过10万美元，”利巴格尔说。他用其中大部分资金购买了一块大片土地，那里生长着野生的本地植物，从而拯救了这些植物的生存环境免遭破坏。“剩下的约2万美元将用于未来类似的项目，”他说。)”可知，凯尔与艺术家合作设计植物主题 T 恤筹款、借助社交媒体科普本土植物，体现了他富有创意的一面；他将筹款实实在在用于购置土地、保护植物栖息地，落地执行保护行动，体现了务实的特点。由此可推知，凯尔是一个有创造力且务实的人。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But he thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think,” he says.( 但他认为自己最大的贡献在于通过社交媒体进行宣传教育，影响人们种植本土植物。“一个人、一个院子、十分之一英亩，可能带来的改变比你想象的还要大，”他说。)”可知，凯尔强调，哪怕只是个人、一个小院这样微小的行动，也能产生超出预期的影响，核心是说明微小的努力也能创造巨大的作用。 C One of the great hopes for AI — at least, among workers — is that it will cut down workloads, freeing people up for more high-level, creative pursuits. So far, the opposite is happening, new data show. In fact, AI is increasing the speed, strength and difficulty of work rather than reducing it, according to an analysis of 164,000 workers’ digital work activity. Examining AI users’ digital activity 180 days before and after they began using such tools on the job, ActivTrak found AI intensified activity across nearly every type: The time they spent on email, messaging and chat apps more than doubled, while their use of business-management tools, such as accounting software, rose 94%. Meanwhile, the amount of time AI users devoted to focused work — the kind of concentration often required for figuring out tough problems, creative work — fell 9%, compared with nearly no change for nonusers. Yet, evidence so far suggests that many AI users aren’t using the technology’s advantages to give themselves a break. The ActivTrak analysis backs up findings of an eight-month study on how AI is shaping work habits at a tech company with about 200 employees. The research, still under way, has so far found the tools didn’t reduce work, but increased it. The employees worked at faster paces, took on broader areas of tasks and ended up working more hours. People often end up doing more work, not less, “because AI makes additional tasks feel easy and accessible, creating a sense of progress,” said a professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, who is leading that study. The former findings were published in a recent Harvard Business Review article. Such changes in behavior may improve productivity but they should also be a warning sign to employers, he says. “Over time this can lead to burnout, poorer decision-making, and falling work quality, even if workers appear more productive in the short run.” 8. What is the main contrast mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Creative pursuits vs daily digital work. B. Workload before vs after AI application. C. Expected AI benefits vs real work effects. D. Hoped workload cut vs faster working speed. 9. What does the underlined word “intensified” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Strengthened. B. Diversified. C. Simplified. D. Controlled. 10. Why can’t AI users reduce working hours? A. Employers add extra AI task. B. Workers underuse AI’s productivity. C. AI takes users more time on hard work. D. AI simplifies tasks, bringing more work. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. More production from AI B. The negative impacts of AI C. AI’s hidden cost for workers D. AI’s effect on creative work 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人们原本期待人工智能能够减轻工作负担，然而实际数据却显示人工智能反而加重了工作强度，并分析了该现象的具体表现、相关研究以及长期带来的隐患。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the great hopes for AI — at least, among workers — is that it will cut down workloads, freeing people up for more high-level, creative pursuits. So far, the opposite is happening, new data show.(至少对打工人而言，人们对人工智能最大的期许之一是它能减少工作量，让人们有时间开展更高阶、更有创造性的工作。但新数据表明，到目前为止，现实恰恰相反。)”可知，第一段对比的是人们预期人工智能带来的好处与它实际对工作产生的影响。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The time they spent on email, messaging and chat apps more than doubled, while their use of business-management tools, such as accounting software, rose 94%.(他们花在邮件、通讯和聊天软件上的时间翻了一倍多，而使用会计软件等业务管理工具的时长上涨了94%。)”可知，人工智能让几乎所有类型的线上工作活动都变多、变繁重了，画线词intensified表示“加强，加剧”，与A选项“Strengthened(加强)”同义。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“People often end up doing more work, not less, ‘because AI makes additional tasks feel easy and accessible, creating a sense of progress,’ said a professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, who is leading that study.(人们最终要完成更多工作，而非更少，‘因为人工智能让额外的任务变得简单易得，会让人产生一种进步感。’加州大学伯克利分校哈斯商学院一位主导该研究的教授表示。)”可知，人工智能简化了各类任务，反而带来了更多工作。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“So far, the opposite is happening, new data show. In fact, AI is increasing the speed, strength and difficulty of work rather than reducing it, according to an analysis of 164,000 workers’ digital work activity.(新数据显示，目前实际情况截然相反。一项针对16.4万名员工数字工作活动的分析表明，人工智能实则提升了工作节奏、工作强度与工作难度，而非减轻工作负担。)”和最后一段“Over time this can lead to burnout, poorer decision-making, and falling work quality, even if workers appear more productive in the short run.(长此以往，这会造成员工身心耗竭、决策水平下降、工作质量降低，即便短期内员工看似工作效率更高。)”可知，全文围绕人工智能并未减负、反而加重员工工作负荷展开，阐述了这一现状、相关调研以及长期会导致员工倦怠、工作质量下滑等隐性代价；C选项“AI’s hidden cost for workers(人工智能带给劳动者的隐性代价)”贴合全文主旨。 D Most cancer deaths occur when diseased cells spread from their original location in the body. They can often be treated in the early stages, but once the cancer has spread, “everything is much more difficult, and treatment success really reduces,” says a professor at the University of Oxford. The lungs are one of the most common sites for cancer to spread to, which has made the illnesses like flu and the common cold an area of considerable interest to scientists. A recent study offers a surprising answer: a simple cold virus, usually causing usual breathing troubles, could help delay the spread of cancer to the lungs. In the study, researchers tested the influence of a common virus that leads to colds in people. They found that when the virus is active in the lungs, it creates an environment that makes it hard for cancer cells to settle and grow. Unlike direct cancer-killing treatments, this natural method works by helping the body’s own defense system work better, rather than attacking cancer cells directly. Experiments on mice have shown that the cold virus causes the lung cells to produce a special protein that strengthens the body’s defense. It acts like a natural protective wall, stopping moving cancer cells from causing new growths in the lung tissue. However, once the cells have entered the lungs, the virus has little effect on their growth. This comes after another recent study found that the viruses behind flu may speed up the growth of cancer cells that have been lying inactive after spreading to the lungs from elsewhere. Although the study is still at an early stage, the researchers are hopeful about its future value. They believe this discovery could lead to low-cost, safe ways to prevent cancer spread, especially for patients at high risk. Still, they warn that people should not take unnecessary risks with colds. More clinical tests will be needed before the finding can be used in real medical practice. 12. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To stress the lung’s great importance. B. To show the main findings of the study. C. To warn people of cancer’s great danger. D. To give background and introduce the topic. 13. What’s the study’s finding on the cold virus? A. It can kill cancer cells directly. B. It destroys the body’s defense. C. It helps produce protective materials. D. It stops cancer cells growing in lungs. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Cold virus fails to stop cancer fully. B. Some viruses speed up cancer cells. C. Cold viruses slow down cancer spread. D. Viruses affect cancer in different ways. 15. What’s the researchers’ attitude towards the study? A. Hopeful. B. Careful. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究发现普通感冒病毒能阻碍癌细胞向肺部转移，流感病毒却会加速肺部癌细胞发展。该研究尚处初期，有望研发低成本防癌手段，但仍需更多临床实验。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most cancer deaths occur when diseased cells spread from their original location in the body. They can often be treated in the early stages, but once the cancer has spread, “everything is much more difficult, and treatment success really reduces,” says a professor at the University of Oxford. The lungs are one of the most common sites for cancer to spread to, which has made the illnesses like flu and the common cold an area of considerable interest to scientists.( 大多数癌症死亡病例发生在癌细胞从身体原发部位扩散之后。牛津大学的一位教授表示，癌症在早期阶段往往可以治疗，但一旦癌细胞扩散，“情况就变得困难得多，治疗成功率也会大幅下降”。肺部是癌症最常见的转移部位之一，这也使得流感和普通感冒等疾病成为科学家研究的热点。)”可知，第一段通过介绍癌症肺转移的治疗困境，交代了研究的现实背景，自然引出下文“感冒病毒与癌症扩散”的核心研究话题，起到背景铺垫、引入主题的作用。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Experiments on mice have shown that the cold virus causes the lung cells to produce a special protein that strengthens the body’s defense. It acts like a natural protective wall, stopping moving cancer cells from causing new growths in the lung tissue.( 小鼠实验表明，这种感冒病毒可促使肺细胞产生一种特殊蛋白质，从而增强机体的防御能力。它像一道天然的保护屏障，阻止移动的癌细胞在肺组织中引发新的生长。)”可知，这项研究关于感冒病毒的发现是它有助于产生保护性物质。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Experiments on mice have shown that the cold virus causes the lung cells to produce a special protein that strengthens the body’s defense.

They believe this discovery could lead to low-cost, safe ways to prevent cancer spread, especially for patients at high risk. Still, they warn that people should not take unnecessary risks with colds. More clinical tests will be needed before the finding can be used in real medical practice.( 尽管这项研究仍处于早期阶段，但研究人员对其未来价值持乐观态度。他们认为，这一发现可能带来一种低成本、安全的预防癌症扩散的方法，尤其适用于高风险患者。不过，他们也提醒人们不要冒感染感冒的不必要风险。在该发现能够应用于实际医疗实践中之前，还需要进行更多的临床试验。)”可推知，研究人员对这项研究的态度是谨慎的。 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。 How to Become Confident For most of us, self-confidence isn’t just something that falls out of the sky. ____16____ Fortunately, by following specific habits and practicing certain beliefs, you can improve your self-esteem and go through life with higher self-confidence. ● ____17____ Truly confident people never pretend to be the wisest person around them. Instead of showing off their knowledge to impress others, they keep curious, ask questions actively and keep learning all the time. This humble attitude makes them more popular and helps them become wiser in the process of communication and study. ●Make more eye contact A scientific study has proved the close link between self-confidence and eye contact. People with low self-esteem often avoid continuous eye contact during communication. ____18____ Proper eye contact shows one’s sincerity and concentration, creates effective emotional communication, and greatly strengthens interpersonal trust between people. ●Practice open body language Body language is a direct and obvious reflection of one’s inner confidence. Confident people always keep open and relaxed body gestures, while insecure people tend to make themselves look small and reserved. Body language and confidence influence each other mutually. Simple practice of open gestures can greatly help people rebuild inner confidence gradually. ____19____ ●Don’t care much about other people’s opinions ____20____ It is from being afraid of others’ thought. We care too much about other people’s opinions. Highly confident people, on the other hand, don’t care much about the opinions of others. They aren’t bothered with trying to impress others. They don’t care much if someone thinks what they wear, say, or do is stupid. A. Try to bravely bring out the best in you. B. Stop forcing yourself to be perfectly right. C. Lack of confidence influences many aspects of our daily life. D. But improper behaviors will slowly damage your confidence. E. Instead, confident people usually keep looking at you while talking. F. Low confidence is not mainly because we think poorly of ourselves. G. However, active communication is the key to building personal confidence. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了提升自信的四种实用方法，分别是保持谦逊好学、多进行眼神交流、练习开放肢体语言、不过分在意他人评价。 【16题详解】 由上文“For most of us, self-confidence isn’t just something that falls out of the sky.(对我们大多数人来说，自信不会凭空而来)”以及下文“Fortunately, by following specific habits and practicing certain beliefs, you can improve your self-esteem and go through life with higher self-confidence.(幸运的是，通过养成特定习惯、践行特定信念，你就能提升自尊，以更强的自信度过人生)”可知，空格承接上文自信难以凭空获得，引出后文提高自信的办法。C选项“Lack of confidence influences many aspects of our daily life.(缺乏自信会影响我们日常生活的方方面面)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中“Lack of confidence”与上文“self-confidence”、与下文“higher self-confidence”相呼应，“many aspects of our daily life”与下文“go through life”相呼应，逻辑通顺。 【17题详解】 由下文“Truly confident people never pretend to be the wisest person around them. Instead of showing off their knowledge to impress others, they keep curious, ask questions actively and keep learning all the time.(真正自信的人从不会装作身边最博学的人。他们不会卖弄学识来博取他人好感，而是始终保有好奇心、主动发问，坚持不断学习)”可知，本段讲述的是真正自信的人从不炫耀，始终保持谦逊、求知、持续学习。B选项“Stop forcing yourself to be perfectly right.(不要强求自己事事完美正确)”能概括本段谦逊不自满的主旨，作为本段小标题贴合段落内容；该选项中“Stop forcing yourself to be perfectly right”与下文“never pretend to be the wisest person”、“keep curious”、“ask questions”、“keep learning”形成呼应。 【18题详解】 由上文“People with low self-esteem often avoid continuous eye contact during communication.(自卑的人交流时常回避持续的眼神接触)”以及下文“Proper eye contact shows one’s sincerity and concentration, creates effective emotional communication, and greatly strengthens interpersonal trust between people.(恰当的眼神交流能够展现一个人的真诚与专注，促成高效的情感沟通，还能极大增进人与人之间的信任)”可知，空格对比自卑人群，讲述自信者的眼神习惯。E选项“Instead, confident people usually keep looking at you while talking.(相反，自信的人交谈时通常会直视对方。)”中Instead形成正反对比，“keep looking at you”与上下文“eye contact”精准呼应，能承上启下，符合题意。 【19题详解】 由上文“Simple practice of open gestures can greatly help people rebuild inner confidence gradually.(练习舒展的肢体动作能逐步重塑内心自信)”可知，前文讲舒展肢体语言的好处。D选项“But improper behaviors will slowly damage your confidence.(但不当行为会慢慢损害你的自信)”转折说明不当肢体动作的负面影响，能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中“improper behaviors”与上文“open gestures”形成正反对照。 【20题详解】 由下文“It is from being afraid of others’ thought. We care too much about other people’s opinions.(根源是害怕他人的看法，我们过度在意别人评价)”可知，后文解释不自信的真正成因，空格提出观点：自卑的主要原因并非自我否定。F选项“Low confidence is not mainly because we think poorly of ourselves.(缺乏自信，主要并非因为自我否定)”能引出下文解释原因的内容，符合题意，该选项中“Low confidence”与下文“care too much about other people’s opinions”构成逻辑呼应。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “When I was little, I always had a strong ____21____ for buildings,” said Edna Blaise, 29, from Haiti, “but it was not until I started my journey in China that I realized Chinese ____22____ has so many things to offer.” Blaise is ____23____ studying architecture in Beijing.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以兄弟情谊为线索展开，讲述了作者一直被要求照顾体弱的哥哥布莱恩，在学校南瓜雕刻比赛中，作者因手指笨拙求助布莱恩，两人约定平分奖金，最终获得二等奖仅50美元，作者为买心仪的游戏，独自拿走奖金并向布莱恩撒谎。多年后，布莱恩收拾大学行李时，作者在他的相册里发现当年南瓜的照片，才得知布莱恩早已知道真相，从而领悟到兄弟情谊的真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“作者正欣赏着照片，突然一张照片吸引了他的目光。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到当年两人一起雕刻的南瓜照片，以及布莱恩写下的文字，内心充满愧疚，决定向布莱恩坦白当年的谎言。 ②由第二段首句内容““你竟然早就知道，却什么也没说？”作者震惊不已。”可知，第二段可描写布莱恩温柔解释自己早已知晓真相，在乎的是兄弟间的协作而非奖金，作者真诚道歉，领悟到兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：翻看相册——发现照片——内心愧疚——决定坦白——得知真相——真诚道歉——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①席卷：wash over/sweep over ②坦白：confess/admit ③发誓：vow/promise 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/ashamed ②对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
