Years later,once the dark days of school PE were a memory,she tried again.But as she says,she still found it hard to run the annoying first mile. That single mile proved impossible for a long time,until 2025,when Em was asked if she wanted to run a marathon and she-for some unaccountable reason,after so many false starts-said yes!She started training and made a huge breakthrough.This time,she got to the once unreachable mile marker and slapped the wall that marked the distance. But the most significant shift wasn't physical;it was psychological.Just before the race,Em remembered catching herself looking in the mirror and thinking that she wasn't fit enough to do it. She realized she had always thought she wasn't ready because she didn't look ready.She says,"I had this real shift in mindsel at that moment.While I was waiting to look like a runner,I'd actually become one.” That realization changed everything for Em.The focus shifted entirely to mental benefits. Running became a powerful tool for her mental health.She found pride in her body and a real passion for the physical challenge. A few years later,Em and her friends started to call themselves the HAGS (Have A Gos). They have built a supportive community for runners,who receive pre-race training,join various races and run together on event days. Em's message to other runners is a call to self-compassion(自我关怀)，“You don't have to be good at something to try it or to keep doing it.If you hate running,don't run.If you are bad at running but you love it,do it.Like in life,do what makes you happy,even when that looks different from what you expected. 34.Why did Em Clarkson work out in her teenage years? A.To improve PE grade. B.To strengthen mental fitness. C.To achieve a better body shape. D.To build up overall physical strength. 高一英语试卷第4页（共10页） 35.What did Em Clarkson realize before her first marathon? A.Waiting to look like a runner held her back. B.She needed to lose more weight to be ready. C.She was professional enough to complete the race. D.Physical appearance mattered for her performance. 36.What do we know about the HAGS? A.They create a caring atmosphere. B.They set strict standards for themselves. C.They put pre-race training at the first place. D.They encourage competition within the team. 37.What can we learn from the passage? A.Opportunities favor the prepared mind. B.False starts are necessary for achieving goals. C.Pushing yourself to the limits leads to success. D.Doing what you love means more than being good at it. C Have you ever walked into a room and then wondered why you went there?If you've experienced this phenomenon,you've had a prospective memory lapse ()There is real science behind. Recently,Gilles Einstein's research has established prospective memory as a different cognitive system,not simply retrospective memory applied to future events.He suggests that retrospective memory covers what happened:facts,events,conversations,while prospective memory covers what needs to happen:intentions,commitments,futnre actions. The most important finding from his research is about how intentions are retrieved.It turns out that the system is fundamentally event-caused,not time-triggered.Intentions surface in memory when environmental events match the inner representation of the intended action's context, not at arbitrary (times.This explains a common failure mode:setting a time-based reminder for 3:00 PM to send a follow-up email.At 3:00 PM,you are in a different meeting,the reminder fires,you ignore it,and the follow-up never gets sent,because the signal-a notification sound-doesn't match the context required to conduct the action,such as being at your desk with the relevant email open. So,why do we remember the intention five minutes after it was relevant,but not when we needed it?This is the characteristic prospective memory failure pattern.The intention was encoded correctly.The failure is at retrieval:the internal cue that would surface the intention at the right moment did not fire.Five minutes later,a secondary cue triggers the belated retrieval.The delay between the failure and the recognition is not the same as forgetting.It is a retrieval timing failure specific to prospective memory.External cue systems solve this by placing the retrieval trigger outside the mind entirely. 高一英语试卷第5页（共10页） This naturally brings up another question:is there an age effect on prospective memory?The research shows a nuanced age pattern.Laboratory prospective memory tasks show age-related decline.But naturalistic prospective memory,remembering real intentions in real life,shows less decline with age,and sometimes improvement.The difference is explained by compensatory )strategy use:older adults are more likely to use external aids,structured routines,and environmental cues.Younger adults rely more on internal monitoring.The research on naturalistic prospective memory suggests this is a learnable compensation,not an age-specific limitation. The good news is that most of the time prospective memory works well automatically.For the times it doesn't,science tells us it's not a failing of yonr memory.You jnst need to leave yourself a better note. 38.What can we learn about prospective memory? A.It is a part of retrospective memory. B.It benefits from time-based reminders. C.It fails when the context is mismatched. D.It uses past experiences for future actions. 39.What does the word "retrieved"underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A.Recovered.B.Assessed. C.Generated. D.Expressed. 40.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Memory decline is a fixed biological limit. B.Older adults tend to lose prospective memory. C.Exteral triggers are reliable regardless of age. D.Forgetting intentions causes prospective memory lapse. 41.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Comparing Prospective and Retrospective Memory B.The Mystery of Why We Often Forget to Remember C.Prospective Memory:The Key to Never Missing Tasks D.How to Improve the Ability to Remember to Remember D Modern physics provides a powerful framework for nnderstanding reality.In jnst over a century,it has decoded the strncture of atoms,traced the early history of the universe and produced laws that seem to hold everywhere.But lately I have started to wonder whether physics is less a window into universal reality and more of a mirror,reflecting the minds we happen to have. That unsettling thought emerges when a seemingly simple question is asked:would aliens, shaped by a different biology or culture,arrive at the same physics as us? 高一英语试卷第6页（共10页） Evidence of this can be found in our own theories.Quantum entanglement(量子纠缠)links distant particles (so that measuring one seems to immediately set the state of the other, despite the fact that there can be no information exchange between them.Some physicists have taken a more daring approach.Future events are allowed to help shape the present.Measurements don't merely reveal outcomes;they help define them,even hackwards in time.If aliens had a radically different construct of time,they might adopt such ideas naturally,rather than treating them as unsettling exceptions. Imagine that aliens arrive by opening a wormhole.We assume they have deep insights into gravity,but what if they don't?What if their space-bending technology is the result of millions of years of trial and error rather than theoretical understanding?They know how to huild and use it, but not why it works,and they may not care.This sounds impossible only because we are used to thinking of technology as the offspring of science.Yet,historically,humans made steel,glass and antihiotics long before understanding the underlying chemistry or hiology. Prohably any intelligent species would be driven to ask "why".But that urge may reflect human psychology rather than a universal feature of intelligence.Other species might build technologies without ever developing physics-not because they failed to take the next step,but because the step never seemed necessary.In this sense,physics results from many human choices:about what counts as an explanation,which inconsistencies matter and which questions are worth asking at all.It reflects our history,our tools and our values as much as it reflects the structure of the universe. Recognising that doesn't weaken physics.The more aware we are of the assumptions baked into our theories and methods,about time,causality,truth and explanation,the more freedom we gain to rethink them. 42.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A.Scientific laws are beyond question. B.Physics may reflect how humans interpret reality. C.Intelligent species have a shared understanding of physics. D.Human thinking offers a framework for scientific knowledge. 43.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Science is necessary for technologies. B.The construct of time is unchangeable. C.Results can exist independently of measurements. D.Turning cause and effect around may be a natural idea. 44.As for whether modern physics reflects universal reality,the author is A.cautious B.supportive C.doubtful D.unconcerned 高一英语试卷第7页（共10页） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine a scientist clicking "send"on a new research article meant for the general public. He's confident.After all,he's published dozens of peer-reviewed papers and led a well-funded lab for years.45 When the editor opens the piece,she's confused.There's no clear introduction,no hook-just a textbook from a foreign language. This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect,which describes how people unskilled in a certain area tend to overestimate their ability in that area.In the late 1990s,psychologist David Dunning noticed that students seemed surprised by their poor test grades.46"I thought people must have some insight that they were doing badly,"says Dunning.To find out, Dunning teamed up with a graduate student,Justin Kruger,to measure people's self-confidence and performance insight in relation to their actual skill level.The results led to the Dunning-Kruger effect. The effect occurs when people are not aware of their own weaknesses in knowledge or skill. 47 However,the Dunning-Kruger effect isn't about people who are generally overconfident.Instead,it applies to people who lack the ability not only to perform a specific skill well,but also to recognize their own weakness in that skill. 48 It appears at home and at work,and even when we're online.Researchers suggest that the rise of social media has led many people to this particular lack of self-awareness.In fact, overconfidence was especially common among those relying heavily on Internet sources. To avoid such a tendency to overestimate one's own abilities,Dunning advises seeking comment.We often cannot see our own mistakes,but others can.It's always good to check notes with other people.49 If you're stepping into something new,you have to ask yourself,"What don't I know?” A.How hard can it be to write for non-scientists? B.The Dunning-Kruger effect doesn't just show up in classrooms. C.Often they missed questions they thought they answered correctly. D.It is so widespread that we all experience it,whether we admit it or not. E.Without this awareness,they feel better about their abilities than they should. F.Believing that you're good at something doesn't automatically make you good at it. G.Asking others is particularly important when making a big decision for the first time 高一英语试卷第8页（共10页） 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 When I was a kid,there was nothing I loved more than spending an afternoon doing arts and crafts.However,nowadays the thought of muddying up the dining table with bags of clay or pots of paint feels like a headache.Fortunately,there is one creative activity that doesn't require huge amounts of time,space,or energy:paint by numbers. Paint by numbers was created in the 1940s by Dan Robbins at Palmer Paint Company and today,many people are returning to it as a calming,structured way to enjoy creativity.The kit includes a numbered canvas,matching paints,brushes,and palettes,making art accessible to anyone.Since everything you need comes in one handy kit,there's no need to wander around an art store wondering which color palette to choose,or to invest in expensive tools for a hobby you may not continue witb long-term. Perhaps the most appealing aspect-especially for those who lack creative inspiration or worry about their artistic skill level-is the predetermined nature of paint by numbers.It removes the pressure of committing to an idea all on your own and the self-doubt of facing a blank canvas.You don't have to worry about what to paint or bow others will judge your work-the path is already laid out for you.This allows the mind to settle,and engage more fully in the mindful nature of painting.You simply follow the numbers and paint one section at a time.This small,manageable task can help calm an anxious mind. Another reason people are drawn to paint by numbers is the dedicated time away from screens.Unlike binge-watching another series,paint by numbers gives you something tangible at the end:a finished painting you created with your own hands,along with a sense of achievement that can be surprisingly powerful in the face of anxiety and low mood. If you want to give it a try,start with simple designs and spend just 15 to 20 minutes each time.It's cheap,easy,and beneficial for both mental and physical health. 50.What feels like a headache for the writer about doing arts and crafts? 51.According to the author,how can we calm an anxious mind through paint by numbers? 52.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >People love paint by numbers mainly because it allows them to create their own ideas freely. 53.Besides paint by numbers,what other hands-on activity can you do to reduce stress?(In about 40 words (请务必将第50至53题的答案写在答题卡指定区域内) 高一英语试卷第9页（共10页） 第二节(20分) 集团校自创题 (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内) 高一英语试卷第10页（共10页）
