They went to the same school and were in the same class. Eric was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Sam and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class. Sam was tall and athletic. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and basketball team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up. One day, the two friends went for a walk. Eric got tired soon. “I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge, if I am not healthy? I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you, ” said Eric. Sam was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself too? I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.” The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time, “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill. ” 4.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述埃里克与山姆是好友，前者擅长学习却体弱，后者运动出色但成绩不佳，二人互相羡慕，最终领悟“这山望着那山高”的道理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. (他通常会和他们一起去操场。当他们跑去玩的时候，他就会坐在树下读故事书。)”可知，和山姆去操场时，埃里克通常会读自己喜欢的书。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sam was tall and athletic. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and basketball team. (山姆个子高，运动健将。他大部分时间都在跑步、游泳或骑自行车。他在每场比赛中都是一名非常出色的球员。他是学校足球队和篮球队的队员。)”可知，山姆大部分时间花在体育上，说明他很喜欢体育，比赛表现也很棒，所以体育老师认为他长大后会在比赛中出人头地。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段山姆的话“I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies.

(山那边的草看起来更绿。)”可知，该句比喻人们总是渴望拥有更好的东西，对自己现状不满。故选D项。 C With the fractious (易怒的) state of global politics, it is little wonder that one reader has written in to say they are overwhelmed by bad news. “I know it’s bad for my mood, but I can’t stop myself reading about the disasters unfolding,” she says. “How can I find mental peace when there’s so much wrong in the world?” It is not rare. Doomscrolling is a common habit caused by the human brain’s preference for negative information. When presented with various headlines, our attention naturally fixes on the most depressing or frightening. One recent study found that each negative word in a headline adds 2.3 per cent to the average click through rate. Doomscrolling appears especially common in people with low “tolerance of uncertainty” — those who want a predictable future they can control. Our negativity preference might have served us well in the past, when our survival depended on our capacity to understand and respond to threats. But it may be unfit in the 21st century, when the dangers of the world are sent onto our devices’ screens 24 hours a day. Doomscrolling has been linked to a higher risk of depression, and, in some people, too much media consumption about bad news events can produce the symptoms of PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). If you find your news consumption damaging your well-being, you might choose to temporarily disengage from your feeds, or at least limit your exposure to a fixed period. In cognitive behavioural therapy (治疗) for anxiety, clients are often told to assign themselves a limited “worry time” each day, after which they are encouraged to look for distraction. The chance to limit such anxious reflection to a fixed period appears to be more effective than simply telling someone not to worry at all. You might also make a conscious effort to find items that restore your faith in humanity. A recent study by psychologists Kathryn Buchanan and Gillian Sandstrom asked people to watch films about the Manchester Arena bombing that happened in May 2017. They found that showing some examples of brave and hopeful responses to the attacks helped to reduce participants’ depression. They were more likely to respond positively to statements such as “people are basically good” and “the way our society works makes sense”, for instance. Of course, we shouldn’t aim to get rid of every troubling event so that we no longer feel any fear. But by strengthening our toughness, we may become more motivated to take positive action. A follow-up study by Buchanan and Sandstrom found that people who watched others’ kindness were more willing to act pro-socially (亲社会地) themselves. The world may be a dark place, but we can choose to look for the light. 8. Why are some people trapped in the habit of “doomscrolling”? A. Because people enjoy feeling depressed or frightened. B. Because the human brain is naturally drawn to negative information. C. Because modern news headlines are written to be more attractive. D. Because people have too much free time to browse the internet. 9. What negative effect is linked to doomscrolling according to the text? A. Improved ability to handle uncertainty. B. A stronger desire to control the future. C. Higher risk of depression and PTSD-like symptoms. D. Increased trust in society and other people. 10. According to the author, how can we reduce the anxiety caused by doomscrolling? A. Stop reading news completely and forever. B. Use a fixed “worry time” and then seek distraction. C. Only watch news that includes positive stories. D. Discuss your worries with a therapist every day. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. People should avoid all news to protect their mental health. B. Despite the bad news, we can choose strategies to stay hopeful. C. Negative news is more accurate and deserves more attention. D. The only solution to doomscrolling is to increase our tolerance. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“末日滑动浏览”的成因、负面影响，并给出减少其焦虑、保持希望的有效应对策略。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Doomscrolling is a common habit caused by the human brain’s preference for negative information. When presented with various headlines, our attention naturally fixes on the most depressing or frightening.(末日滑动浏览是一种常见的习惯，由人类大脑对负面信息的偏好引起。当看到各种标题时，我们的注意力会自然地集中在最令人沮丧或最可怕的内容上)”可知，有些人陷入“末日滑动浏览”习惯的原因是人类的大脑天生就被负面信息吸引。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Doomscrolling has been linked to a higher risk of depression, and, in some people, too much media consumption about bad news events can produce the symptoms of PTSD (创伤后应激障碍).(末日滑动浏览与更高的抑郁症风险有关，而且在一些人身上，过度浏览有关负面新闻事件的媒体内容会产生创伤后应激障碍的症状)”可知，末日滑动浏览的相关负面影响是抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍类症状的风险更高。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In cognitive behavioural therapy (治疗) for anxiety, clients are often told to assign themselves a limited “worry time” each day, after which they are encouraged to look for distraction. The chance to limit such anxious reflection to a fixed period appears to be more effective than simply telling someone not to worry at all.(在针对焦虑的认知行为疗法中，患者通常会被要求每天给自己分配一段有限的“担忧时间”，之后鼓励他们寻找分散注意力的事物。将这种焦虑反思限制在固定时间段内，似乎比简单地告诉别人完全不要担忧更有效)”可知，减少末日滑动浏览带来的焦虑的方法是设定固定的“担忧时间”，之后寻找分散注意力的事物。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的“Of course, we shouldn’t aim to get rid of every troubling event so that we no longer feel any fear. But by strengthening our toughness, we may become more motivated to take positive action.(当然，我们的目标不应该是消除所有令人烦恼的事件，这样我们就不再感到任何恐惧。但通过增强我们的韧性，我们可能会更有动力采取积极的行动)”和“The world may be a dark place, but we can choose to look for the light.(世界可能是一个黑暗的地方，但我们可以选择寻找光明)”可知，本文的目的是告诉读者，尽管世界上有很多负面新闻，我们仍可以选择合适的策略来保持希望。故选B项。 D Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection was their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants (参与者). Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a mixture of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. The mixed music was a noisy mixture of all three songs, cut into parts so that they lacked their original structure. One 7-minute experiment had people sitting in silence. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object-similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin-to the participants’ left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The mixed songs did not reduce pain either, which the authors suggested was evidence of music being more than a distraction (分散注意力) from an unpleasant experience. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. 12. What do we know about the music used in the experiment? A. The mixed music was similar to the original in structure. B. The seven songs chosen were strange to the participants. C. The participants’ favorite songs had the same context. D. All the music was played on the monitor screen. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How long the participants listened to songs. B. Why various songs were listened to. C. How different songs reduced pain. D. How the experiment was carried out. 14. Which music could reduce pain most according to the experiment? A. Songs with calming themes. B. Unfamiliar relaxing songs. C. Bittersweet and moving songs. D. A mixture of different songs. 15. What’s the purpose of the article? A. To introduce the effect of music on people’s feeling B. To recommend different kinds of songs. C. To explain why music can cure diseases D. To stress people’s preference for music. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究表明听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的痛苦及其实验过程。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants (参与者).(研究人员还让这些年轻人从七首歌曲中挑选一首，研究小组认为这些歌曲能让人放松，且参与者不熟悉。)”可知，参与者不熟悉这七首歌曲。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a mixture of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. The mixed music was a noisy mixture of all three songs, cut into parts so that they lacked their original structure. One 7-minute experiment had people sitting in silence. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object-similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin-to the participants’ left inner forearms.(每个人都参加了一个7分钟的实验，在实验中，他们被引导盯着监视器屏幕，同时听他们最喜欢的音乐——7首放松的器乐（每首持续6分40秒）中的一首，或者两首歌和所选放松的歌曲的混合。混合音乐是三首歌曲的嘈杂混合，被切成片段，因此它们缺乏原始结构。一个7分钟的实验让人们安静地坐着。与此同时，研究人员将一个热物体（类似于滚烫的茶杯在皮肤上的疼痛）贴在参与者的左前臂内侧。)”可知，本段主要介绍了实验是如何进行的。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.(在采访了参与者所带来的歌曲以及他们对疼痛的评分后，研究人员发现，与听舒缓或欢快主题的歌曲相比，听苦乐参半、感人至深的歌曲的人感受到的疼痛更少。)”可知，苦乐参半、感人的歌曲最能减轻痛苦。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.(根据发表在《疼痛研究前沿》杂志上的一项新研究，听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的痛苦。)”以及结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了一项新研究表明听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的痛苦及其实验过程，所以本文的目的是介绍音乐对人们情感的影响。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Once you finally get home after dropping your teen off at college, you will be hit by the realization that this is for real.

(起初，坐下来哭是很正常的，但如果你提前计划，你可以用更少的眼泪来应对。)”点明了主题，并提出了“提前计划”可以缓解悲伤。D选项“The following ideas may help make this period smoother. (以下想法可能有助于让这段时间更顺利。)”承上启下，既呼应了上文的“plan ahead (提前计划)”，也自然引出下文将要展开的一系列具体建议。该句是典型的过渡句。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“You already know you are going to feel a little sad and miss your teen. These are all normal feelings, but try distracting yourself with fun activities.  (你已经知道你会感到有点悲伤，想念你的孩子。这些都是正常的感觉，但试着用有趣的活动来分散自己的注意力。)”建议用有趣的活动来转移注意力。E选项“Have some friends over for drinks or go to a movie with your family.

(然而，不要忽视这是他们个人成长和学习的时间这一事实。)”通过“However”转折，引导家长从孩子成长的角度理解并接受这种变化，为下文“不要过度监控或不停地发信息”的建议提供了心理基础。该句起到了承上启下的作用。故选F项。 【20题详解】 小标题“Enjoy the silence. (享受安静。)”点明了本段的主题。G选项“You probably still remember all those annoying and loud noises from TV and video games. (你可能还记得电视和视频游戏中那些烦人又吵闹的声音。)”紧接标题，用具体例子(电视和游戏机的噪音)描述了孩子在家时可能有的喧闹，与小标题形成鲜明对比，解释了什么“安静”是值得享受的。这正好引出了下文“现在你不用忍受那些了”的感慨。故选G项。 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） After returning to her Yunnan home, Wang Liping was still warmed by memories of her trip to Xinjiang.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy. The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” Timmy’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He jumped out of bed and hugged his mom tightly. “Really, Mom? That’s amazing!” They spent the morning planning all the things they would do together. They decided to go to the zoo first. As they drove to the zoo, Timmy chatted non-stop, his face glowing with happiness. Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo. Timmy laughed out loud when one panda rolled over like a clumsy ball. Mrs. Thompson photographed these precious moments, feeling a sense of contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time. However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. It was one of her most important clients. The client had an urgent question about a house they were interested in buying. Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment. Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice. She silenced her phone and put it back in her bag. She turned to Timmy and said, “Nothing is more important than this time with you, Timmy.” They spent the rest of the day at the zoo, exploring every corner, and even had a picnic lunch on the grass. By the end of the day, both Timmy and Mrs. Thompson were tired but filled with joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了房地产经纪人汤普森夫人工作忙碌，常常无暇陪伴儿子蒂米。一天，蒂米满怀期待地想和妈妈玩游戏，却被拒绝，感到失望。汤普森夫人看到儿子失望的表情后，意识到自己因专注工作而错过了儿子的童年，经过思考后决定请假陪伴儿子，她向老板说明情况后幸运地得到了一周的假期。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“她说道：“蒂米，我打算请一整周的假，就为了我们俩！””可知，第一段可描写汤普森夫人和蒂米一起游玩的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，就在他们玩耍的时候，汤普森夫人的手机响了。”可知，第二段可描写在游玩期间接到了客户的电话，汤普森夫人将手机调成静音，继续陪蒂米游玩。 2.续写线索：蒂米感到兴奋——一起游玩动物园——接到客户电话——手机调成静音——感到疲惫却喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③对……感兴趣：be interested in/take an interest in ④探索：explore/probe 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②感到兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1]Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句，as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 衡阳市八中2026年高一下学期期末考试试题 英 语 满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A A Short Trip in the Netherlands Day 1 — Arrival in Haarlem Fly to Amsterdam, and then transfer to the Dutch town of Haarlem, your home during your four-day stay.

B Eric and Sam were good friends. They went to the same school and were in the same class. Eric was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Sam and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class. Sam was tall and athletic. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and basketball team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up. One day, the two friends went for a walk. Eric got tired soon. “I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge, if I am not healthy? I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you, ” said Eric. Sam was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself too? I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.” The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time, “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill. ” 4.

C With the fractious (易怒的) state of global politics, it is little wonder that one reader has written in to say they are overwhelmed by bad news. “I know it’s bad for my mood, but I can’t stop myself reading about the disasters unfolding,” she says. “How can I find mental peace when there’s so much wrong in the world?” It is not rare. Doomscrolling is a common habit caused by the human brain’s preference for negative information. When presented with various headlines, our attention naturally fixes on the most depressing or frightening. One recent study found that each negative word in a headline adds 2.3 per cent to the average click through rate. Doomscrolling appears especially common in people with low “tolerance of uncertainty” — those who want a predictable future they can control. Our negativity preference might have served us well in the past, when our survival depended on our capacity to understand and respond to threats. But it may be unfit in the 21st century, when the dangers of the world are sent onto our devices’ screens 24 hours a day. Doomscrolling has been linked to a higher risk of depression, and, in some people, too much media consumption about bad news events can produce the symptoms of PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). If you find your news consumption damaging your well-being, you might choose to temporarily disengage from your feeds, or at least limit your exposure to a fixed period. In cognitive behavioural therapy (治疗) for anxiety, clients are often told to assign themselves a limited “worry time” each day, after which they are encouraged to look for distraction. The chance to limit such anxious reflection to a fixed period appears to be more effective than simply telling someone not to worry at all. You might also make a conscious effort to find items that restore your faith in humanity. A recent study by psychologists Kathryn Buchanan and Gillian Sandstrom asked people to watch films about the Manchester Arena bombing that happened in May 2017. They found that showing some examples of brave and hopeful responses to the attacks helped to reduce participants’ depression. They were more likely to respond positively to statements such as “people are basically good” and “the way our society works makes sense”, for instance. Of course, we shouldn’t aim to get rid of every troubling event so that we no longer feel any fear. But by strengthening our toughness, we may become more motivated to take positive action. A follow-up study by Buchanan and Sandstrom found that people who watched others’ kindness were more willing to act pro-socially (亲社会地) themselves. The world may be a dark place, but we can choose to look for the light. 8. Why are some people trapped in the habit of “doomscrolling”? A. Because people enjoy feeling depressed or frightened. B. Because the human brain is naturally drawn to negative information. C. Because modern news headlines are written to be more attractive. D. Because people have too much free time to browse the internet. 9. What negative effect is linked to doomscrolling according to the text? A. Improved ability to handle uncertainty. B. A stronger desire to control the future. C. Higher risk of depression and PTSD-like symptoms. D. Increased trust in society and other people. 10. According to the author, how can we reduce the anxiety caused by doomscrolling? A. Stop reading news completely and forever. B. Use a fixed “worry time” and then seek distraction. C. Only watch news that includes positive stories. D. Discuss your worries with a therapist every day. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. People should avoid all news to protect their mental health. B. Despite the bad news, we can choose strategies to stay hopeful. C. Negative news is more accurate and deserves more attention. D. The only solution to doomscrolling is to increase our tolerance. D Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection was their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants (参与者). Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a mixture of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. The mixed music was a noisy mixture of all three songs, cut into parts so that they lacked their original structure. One 7-minute experiment had people sitting in silence. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object-similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin-to the participants’ left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The mixed songs did not reduce pain either, which the authors suggested was evidence of music being more than a distraction (分散注意力) from an unpleasant experience. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. 12. What do we know about the music used in the experiment? A. The mixed music was similar to the original in structure. B. The seven songs chosen were strange to the participants. C. The participants’ favorite songs had the same context. D. All the music was played on the monitor screen. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How long the participants listened to songs. B. Why various songs were listened to. C. How different songs reduced pain. D. How the experiment was carried out. 14. Which music could reduce pain most according to the experiment? A. Songs with calming themes. B. Unfamiliar relaxing songs. C. Bittersweet and moving songs. D. A mixture of different songs. 15. What’s the purpose of the article? A. To introduce the effect of music on people’s feeling B. To recommend different kinds of songs. C. To explain why music can cure diseases D. To stress people’s preference for music. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Once you finally get home after dropping your teen off at college, you will be hit by the realization that this is for real.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy.

She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
