As my train inched its way into the station at La Souterraine, some three hours south of Paris on a hot June afternoon, the woman next to me asked, “Vous descendez ici?” Her expression seemed to say, “Really? You’re getting off here?” I could see what she meant. Behind the wire fencing lining the platform lay a handful of industrial buildings alongside unremarkable farmland. I had arrived in La Creuse — one of the departments the French call la France profonde — deepest, darkest France — and apparently the country’s least-visited region, north of Limoges. I attempted to find the landscape that had inspired the painter Claude Monet, a landscape that, unlike his Rouen, Paris and London, which he painted many times, remains relatively unknown. In early 1889, several years before he started his world-famous water lily (睡莲) series, Monet spent several months in the countryside near the small village of Fresselines, about an hour’s drive north of Limoges. Like his fellow impressionists, Monet was on the lookout for locations to paint in the open air, and his friend Gustave Geffroy suggested La Creuse, by which Monet was soon attracted. I had arranged to do the circular, three-kilometre route with Monet expert Christophe Rameix, and we were walking through the thick woodland that lines the banks of the Creuse River. Information posts on the path show copies of Monet’s paintings at the spots where he created them. Eventually, after climbing over slippery rocks, we reached the bank from which Monet had looked down, positioning his easel (画架) at a place where two sections of the Creuse River join. “Monet was attracted by the water,” Rameix told me. “He wanted to catch its movement, even its sound.” It wasn’t hard to see why La Creuse had inspired Monet. I only wondered why La Creuse was not better known. 24．(0分)How did the woman feel when the author was getting off the train? A．Relieved. B．Confused. C．Annoyed. D．Encouraged. 25．Why did the author travel to La Creuse? A．To participate in a painting tour. B．To rediscover his interest in Monet’s works. C．To attend Monet’s art exhibition. D．To explore Monet’s less-known inspiration. 26．What can we learn about Monet around 1889? A．He was introduced into La Creuse. B．He perfected his impressionist touch. C．He made friends with Gustave Geffroy. D．He was working on his water lily series. 27．What did Rameix say about Monet? A．He liked painting in diverse environments. B．He aimed to represent water as a solid element. C．He tried to grasp the core of water in his paintings. D．He preferred painting landscapes over other subjects. Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 28．(0分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 29．How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 30．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 31．What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. In a lab in Italy, volunteers teamed up with iCub, a child-sized robot, to slice a piece of soap using a knife. The task itself was simple. What surprised researchers was what happened afterward: the volunteers’ brains began treating iCub’s hand as if it were their own. The experiment built on what scientists call the near hand effect. When a hand is near an object, the brain pays more attention to it. It prepares to act. Earlier studies showed that this effect can even extend to another person’s hand, but only after working together. The researchers asked if the same could happen with a robot. Volunteers and iCub cut soap together using a knife. Afterward, they did the Posner task, a reaction-time test where images flash on a screen. The results were striking. People responded faster when images appeared near iCub’s hand. Their brains had started to treat the robot’s hand almost like their own. This effect didn’t happen automatically. A study showed that when the robot’s hand was simply placed near the screen, without any shared task, there was no change in attention. Unlike a rubber fake hand, which can trick the brain through sight alone, a robot’s hand needed active cooperation to matter. Attention is paid firstly to the space near another’s hand (human or robot) only after the latter becomes relevant to accomplish a shared goal. The study also measured how people felt about their robotic partner. Questionnaires revealed that the more competent or lively iCub seemed, the stronger the effect became. When participants thought of the robot as capable of feeling or acting intelligently, their brains gave more weight to its presence. The researchers note that iCub’s behavior in the study was pre-programmed. It could not adapt in real time the way humans do. Future robots will need to adjust their actions more flexibly, responding to the pace and style of their human partners. Adaptability could make the connection feel even more natural. 32．(0分)What did the earlier studies find about the near hand effect? A．Brain can easily adopt a new tool. B．Human beings often make mistakes. C．Cooperation can reshape attention. D．Brain treats nearby objects as useful. 33．What was the Posner task used to measure? A．Memory of the task steps. B．Speed of responding to images. C．Impact of screen time on brain. D．Recognition of the robot’s hand. 34．Which of the following can also influence the near hand effect? A．The feeling of the robot. B．The duration of shared tasks. C．How fast iCub is moving. D．How the brain sees the robot. 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Future research directions. B．Drawbacks of working with robots. C．Programs needed in advance. D．Benefits of human-robot teamwork. Creative expression, particularly through learning and making music, greatly improves well-being and meaning in later life, promoting mental, emotional, and even physical health as people age. For older adults, activities like attending a songwriting workshop or joining a chorus go beyond mere leisure. They become a pathway to what Aristotle called “eudaemonia”, a life well-lived. 36(0分) Music offers a unique way for such meaningfulness, which often grows from deep connection. Whether it is the dedication to mastering an instrument, the excitement of creating music on the spot, or the sweetness of listening to a familiar tune, older adults do not engage in music as lone individuals. 37 Such meaningful involvement can even turn musical tools — a piano, a violin, or a digital device — into extensions of the person. 38 This reflects the saying, “You are what you do.” Some famous musicians travel with their own instruments, which proves how deeply music can shape personal identity. 39 As dancer Twyla Tharp remarked, “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” The emotional uplift indirectly supports health by boosting memory, lowering stress, and strengthening social ties — all crucial for aging well. Deep engagement in music adds meaning to later life, bringing happiness through creativity and commitment. 40 Actually, music enriches lives at every age, so promoting creative expression through it should be a central aim in education and enrichment for everyone. A．It’s mostly the result of external entertainment. B．Becoming a “musician” is thus a worthy goal for older adults. C．They bond with others, culture, and their own growing sense of self. D．The more often one plays an instrument, the greater joy one may gain. E．Creative musical experience also provides an escape from daily routines. F．With skill and regular practice, the instrument becomes part of who one is. G．This is not brief pleasure, but lasting happiness that comes from living meaningfully. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. 41 , this was not a practical option; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a 42 education that would provide me with flexibility (灵活性) and a value system to 43 me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my 44 by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible 45 . They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I 46 them. I headed off to college sure I was going to have a(n) 47 over those students who went to big engineering “factories” 48 they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a(n) 49 engineer: technical genius (天才) and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one. But now I’m not so sure. 50 along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to 51 math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students 52 efforts to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college. The reality that has 53 my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal- arts 54 don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they 55 a person in very different ways. However, I’m still trying. 41．(15分)A．Naturally B．Obviously C．Fully D．Basically 42．A．broad B．rich C．wide D．formal 43．A．tutor B．lead C．guide D．advise 44．A．knowledge B．sight C．ability D．vision 45．A．arrangement B．dream C．choice D．schedule 46．A．believed B．obeyed C．applauded D．satisfied 47．A．benefit B．advantage C．appeal D．quality 48．A．what B．where C．which D．that 49．A．definite B．unique C．complete D．extraordinary 50．A．Anyhow B．Somehow C．Anywhere D．Somewhere 51．A．connect B．combine C．mix D．balance 52．A．make B．put C．devote D．apply 53．A．delayed B．blocked C．crowded D．cut 54．A．actually B．originally C．simply D．specifically 55．A．change B．create C．inspire D．shape 四、语法填空 语法填空 In this digital age 56(0分) most of us can't live without digital devices, it may sound hard to believe Yang Hao, 57 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the UK, had a solo trip in the old-fashioned way last year. He used a printed map and paid for everything 58   (use) cash or a bank card. Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, and used two cameras to record 59 he saw and experienced along the way. “I realized that the 134 days was the most fulfilling, 60 (focus) and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute 61 (concentrate),” says Yang. Since his story was posted online, it 62 (bring) about widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. One netizen 63 (say) that while technology makes the world smaller 64 we seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things. Another netizen wrote that not having a phone would bring anxiety in modern society because phones combine many functions in one. Though Yang foresaw that his journey would trigger (引发) some discussion, the public attention it has drawn is 65 (true) beyond his imagination. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，你的新西兰网友Tom曾在开学初鼓励你积极适应高中生活。现在高一上学期即将结束，你感想颇多。请你给他写一封信。内容包括： 1. 你的经历与成长； 2. 对未来学习生活的展望。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Tom, How is everything going?

The classroom was full of loud chatter, with students laughing and talking to each other, but I kept my eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up. My family had just moved to the city after my dad lost his job, and I didn’t know a single person here. The strange environment made my hands feel sweaty, and I tightly held my schoolbag strap (带子), hoping no one would notice me. As students hurried to find seats, only one was still empty — right beside a boy named Leo. He, too, was new to the class. He took a quick look at me, then turned his eyes away at once. I walked over quietly and sat down, hoping not to draw any attention. Over the next few weeks, I noticed Leo never joined any group conversations. He always ate lunch alone, seldom spoke in class, and wore the same washed-out blue jacket every day. Some classmates whispered (私下说) about him — they said he’d always had trouble keeping up in school. A few unkind students even said that he wasn’t quick in mind and was hard to get along with. Then one afternoon, our teacher announced we would work on a science project — with a partner. Everyone quickly teamed up until I was the only one still without a partner. Just as I began to worry, Leo raised his hand slowly and asked softly, “Would you like to work together?” I nodded and said yes. 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。 To my surprise, Leo knew so much about plants, animals, and nature. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the presentation, our project received the highest score. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Welcome unit（较难版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What is the matter with the man’s marker pen?

C．Graduates who want to get a Master’s degree. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．A 【原文】 I’m Suci, an Indian student. After I graduated from a university in my homeland, I went to study abroad. I finished my Master’s degree in Denmark and Doctor’s degree in Sweden. This experience has taught me a lot. When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But in a strange way, you also start to see that all of these differences are also universal and people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture background and when you make friends, you learn to hug people’s perfections alongside their shortcomings. This blessing of knowing many people from many cultural backgrounds taught me to understand myself better, and the importance of deepening my soft-skills. Do you also have a dream of studying abroad? You can keep what I said in mind. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）We’re excited you are considering an undergraduate degree at our university.

You’re getting off here?” I could see what she meant. Behind the wire fencing lining the platform lay a handful of industrial buildings alongside unremarkable farmland. I had arrived in La Creuse — one of the departments the French call la France profonde — deepest, darkest France — and apparently the country’s least-visited region, north of Limoges. I attempted to find the landscape that had inspired the painter Claude Monet, a landscape that, unlike his Rouen, Paris and London, which he painted many times, remains relatively unknown. In early 1889, several years before he started his world-famous water lily (睡莲) series, Monet spent several months in the countryside near the small village of Fresselines, about an hour’s drive north of Limoges. Like his fellow impressionists, Monet was on the lookout for locations to paint in the open air, and his friend Gustave Geffroy suggested La Creuse, by which Monet was soon attracted. I had arranged to do the circular, three-kilometre route with Monet expert Christophe Rameix, and we were walking through the thick woodland that lines the banks of the Creuse River. Information posts on the path show copies of Monet’s paintings at the spots where he created them. Eventually, after climbing over slippery rocks, we reached the bank from which Monet had looked down, positioning his easel (画架) at a place where two sections of the Creuse River join. “Monet was attracted by the water,” Rameix told me. “He wanted to catch its movement, even its sound.” It wasn’t hard to see why La Creuse had inspired Monet. I only wondered why La Creuse was not better known. 24．(0分)How did the woman feel when the author was getting off the train? A．Relieved. B．Confused. C．Annoyed. D．Encouraged. 25．Why did the author travel to La Creuse? A．To participate in a painting tour. B．To rediscover his interest in Monet’s works. C．To attend Monet’s art exhibition. D．To explore Monet’s less-known inspiration. 26．What can we learn about Monet around 1889? A．He was introduced into La Creuse. B．He perfected his impressionist touch. C．He made friends with Gustave Geffroy. D．He was working on his water lily series. 27．What did Rameix say about Monet? A．He liked painting in diverse environments. B．He aimed to represent water as a solid element. C．He tried to grasp the core of water in his paintings. D．He preferred painting landscapes over other subjects. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．C 【导语】本文讲述作者专程前往法国小众地区克勒兹省，探寻曾启发印象派大师莫奈作画的自然风光的经历。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Her expression seemed to say, “Really? You’re getting off here?”(她的神情仿佛在发问：“真的吗？你要在这儿下车？”)”可知，看到作者下车，这位女士是感到困惑的。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“I attempted to find the landscape that had inspired the painter Claude Monet, a landscape that, unlike his Rouen, Paris and London, which he painted many times, remains relatively unknown.(我想要寻访这片曾赋予画家克劳德・莫奈创作灵感的风光。莫奈曾多次描绘鲁昂、巴黎与伦敦的景色，而这片景致却依旧鲜为人知。)”可知，作者前往克勒兹省的原因是探寻曾给莫奈带来灵感的小众之地。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“In early 1889... his friend Gustave Geffroy suggested La Creuse, by which Monet was soon attracted.( 1889 年初……他的好友古斯塔夫・热弗鲁瓦向他推荐了克勒兹省，莫奈很快便被这片地方深深吸引。)”可知，1889年左右，莫奈经友人介绍来到克勒兹省。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段““Monet was attracted by the water,” Rameix told me. “He wanted to catch its movement, even its sound.”(拉梅对我说：“莫奈深深沉醉于这里的流水，他想要捕捉水流的灵动姿态，甚至是潺潺水声。”)”可知，拉梅克斯对莫奈的评价是力求在画作中展现水的精髓。 Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 28．(0分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 29．How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 30．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 31．What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个关于营养物质和大脑健康之间的关系的研究，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. (有证据表明营养很重要，一项新的研究表明，特定的营养物质可能在大脑的健康衰老中起着至关重要的作用。)”可知，这项新研究的主要焦点是营养物质对大脑衰老的潜在影响。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. (采集血液样本来分析营养生物标志物：这是这些老年人饮食的更科学的证据。)”可知，科学家通过测试血液样本分析参与者的营养摄入量。故选A。 30．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests (我们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现)”可知，Barbey提到他们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现，说明这项研究让他们对这些因素之间的关系建立一个可靠、坚实的理解。故划线词意思是“可靠的、坚实的”，故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. (简单地调整我们的饮食可能有助于降低患阿尔茨海默病等疾病的风险。)”可知，未来的研究有望有助于预防和治疗某些脑部疾病。故选D。 In a lab in Italy, volunteers teamed up with iCub, a child-sized robot, to slice a piece of soap using a knife. The task itself was simple. What surprised researchers was what happened afterward: the volunteers’ brains began treating iCub’s hand as if it were their own. The experiment built on what scientists call the near hand effect. When a hand is near an object, the brain pays more attention to it. It prepares to act. Earlier studies showed that this effect can even extend to another person’s hand, but only after working together. The researchers asked if the same could happen with a robot. Volunteers and iCub cut soap together using a knife. Afterward, they did the Posner task, a reaction-time test where images flash on a screen. The results were striking. People responded faster when images appeared near iCub’s hand. Their brains had started to treat the robot’s hand almost like their own. This effect didn’t happen automatically. A study showed that when the robot’s hand was simply placed near the screen, without any shared task, there was no change in attention. Unlike a rubber fake hand, which can trick the brain through sight alone, a robot’s hand needed active cooperation to matter. Attention is paid firstly to the space near another’s hand (human or robot) only after the latter becomes relevant to accomplish a shared goal. The study also measured how people felt about their robotic partner. Questionnaires revealed that the more competent or lively iCub seemed, the stronger the effect became. When participants thought of the robot as capable of feeling or acting intelligently, their brains gave more weight to its presence. The researchers note that iCub’s behavior in the study was pre-programmed. It could not adapt in real time the way humans do. Future robots will need to adjust their actions more flexibly, responding to the pace and style of their human partners. Adaptability could make the connection feel even more natural. 32．(0分)What did the earlier studies find about the near hand effect? A．Brain can easily adopt a new tool. B．Human beings often make mistakes. C．Cooperation can reshape attention. D．Brain treats nearby objects as useful. 33．What was the Posner task used to measure? A．Memory of the task steps. B．Speed of responding to images. C．Impact of screen time on brain. D．Recognition of the robot’s hand. 34．Which of the following can also influence the near hand effect? A．The feeling of the robot. B．The duration of shared tasks. C．How fast iCub is moving. D．How the brain sees the robot. 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Future research directions. B．Drawbacks of working with robots. C．Programs needed in advance. D．Benefits of human-robot teamwork. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于人类与机器人合作的研究，研究发现人类在与机器人共同完成任务后，大脑会将机器人的手视为自己的一部分，且这种效应受多种因素影响，同时文章还探讨了未来研究的方向。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a hand is near an object, the brain pays more attention to it. It prepares to act. Earlier studies showed that this effect can even extend to another person’s hand, but only after working together.(当一只手靠近某物体时，大脑会对其投注更多注意力，并预备采取行动。早期的研究表明，这种效应甚至可以延伸到另一个人的手上，但前提是双方要一起工作)”可知，早期研究发现，合作可以重塑注意力。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Afterward, they did the Posner task, a reaction-time test where images flash on a screen. The results were striking. People responded faster when images appeared near iCub’s hand.(之后，他们进行了Posner任务，这是一个反应时间测试，屏幕上会闪现图像。结果令人震惊。当图像出现在iCub的手附近时，人们的反应更快)”可知，Posner任务被用来测量人们对屏幕上闪现图像的反应速度。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Questionnaires revealed that the more competent or lively iCub seemed, the stronger the effect became. When participants thought of the robot as capable of feeling or acting intelligently, their brains gave more weight to its presence.(问卷显示，iCub看起来越能干或越活泼，这种效应就越强。当参与者认为机器人有感觉或能智能行动时，他们的大脑就会更加重视它的存在)”可推知，人们对机器人的看法(即大脑如何认知机器人)会影响“近手效应”。故选D项。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The researchers note that iCub’s behavior in the study was pre-programmed. It could not adapt in real time the way humans do. Future robots will need to adjust their actions more flexibly, responding to the pace and style of their human partners. Adaptability could make the connection feel even more natural.(研究人员指出，iCub在研究中的行为是预先编程的。它不能像人类那样实时适应。未来的机器人需要更灵活地调整自己的行动，以适应人类伙伴的节奏和风格。适应性可以让这种联系感觉更加自然)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了未来研究的方向，即让机器人更加灵活地适应人类伙伴的节奏和风格。故选A项。 Creative expression, particularly through learning and making music, greatly improves well-being and meaning in later life, promoting mental, emotional, and even physical health as people age. For older adults, activities like attending a songwriting workshop or joining a chorus go beyond mere leisure. They become a pathway to what Aristotle called “eudaemonia”, a life well-lived. 36(0分) Music offers a unique way for such meaningfulness, which often grows from deep connection. Whether it is the dedication to mastering an instrument, the excitement of creating music on the spot, or the sweetness of listening to a familiar tune, older adults do not engage in music as lone individuals. 37 Such meaningful involvement can even turn musical tools — a piano, a violin, or a digital device — into extensions of the person. 38 This reflects the saying, “You are what you do.” Some famous musicians travel with their own instruments, which proves how deeply music can shape personal identity. 39 As dancer Twyla Tharp remarked, “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” The emotional uplift indirectly supports health by boosting memory, lowering stress, and strengthening social ties — all crucial for aging well. Deep engagement in music adds meaning to later life, bringing happiness through creativity and commitment. 40 Actually, music enriches lives at every age, so promoting creative expression through it should be a central aim in education and enrichment for everyone. A．It’s mostly the result of external entertainment. B．Becoming a “musician” is thus a worthy goal for older adults. C．They bond with others, culture, and their own growing sense of self. D．The more often one plays an instrument, the greater joy one may gain. E．Creative musical experience also provides an escape from daily routines. F．With skill and regular practice, the instrument becomes part of who one is. G．This is not brief pleasure, but lasting happiness that comes from living meaningfully. 【答案】36．G 37．C 38．F 39．E 40．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐创作和参与能提升老年人幸福感与意义感，促进身心健康；通过乐器练习和社群联结，实现亚里士多德所说的“美好生活”，值得作为终身教育核心目标。 【详解】36．根据上文“For older adults, activities like attending a songwriting workshop or joining a chorus go beyond mere leisure. They become a pathway to what Aristotle called “eudaemonia”, a life well-lived.(对于老年人而言，参加歌曲创作工作坊或加入合唱团等活动的意义远不止是休闲娱乐。它们成为了一条通往亚里士多德所称的‘幸福生活’，即：一种有意义的生活的途径)”可知，本段主要是讲老年人参加音乐相关活动可以提升幸福感。由此可知，G. This is not brief pleasure, but lasting happiness that comes from living meaningfully. (这并非短暂的快乐，而是源自有意义生活的持久幸福)符合语境。故选G项。 37．根据上文“Music offers a unique way for such meaningfulness, which often grows from deep connection. Whether it is the dedication to mastering an instrument, the excitement of creating music on the spot, or the sweetness of listening to a familiar tune, older adults do not engage in music as lone individuals. (音乐提供了一种独特的方式来实现这种意义，这种意义往往源于深厚的联系。无论是致力于精通一种乐器、即兴创作音乐的兴奋感，还是聆听熟悉的旋律时的愉悦感，老年人并非独自一人参与音乐活动)”可知，本段主要讲老人参与音乐活动时不是独自一人，而是会和他人联系。由此可知，C. They bond with others, culture, and their own growing sense of self.(他们与他人、文化以及自己不断成长的自我产生了联系)符合语境。故选C项。 38．根据上文“Such meaningful involvement can even turn musical tools — a piano, a violin, or a digital device — into extensions of the person.(这种有意义的参与甚至可以使音乐工具——钢琴、小提琴或数字设备——成为个人的延伸)”及下文“This reflects the saying, ‘You are what you do.’”（这印证了那句老话：“你就是你所做之事。”）可知，学习演奏乐器可以影响演奏者的性格。由此可知，F. With skill and regular practice, the instrument becomes part of who one is.(凭借技巧和定期练习，乐器会成为一个人的一部分)符合语境。故选F项。 39．该空为段首句，应概括下文内容。根据下文“As dancer Twyla Tharp remarked, ‘Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.’ The emotional uplift indirectly supports health by boosting memory, lowering stress, and strengthening social ties — all crucial for aging well.(正如舞蹈家特瓦拉·特帕所说：艺术是唯一无需离开家就能逃离现实的方式。’这种情感上的振奋能间接促进健康，提升记忆力、减轻压力，并加强社会联系——这些都是延年益寿所必需的要素)”可知，本段主要讲学习音乐等艺术形式可以使人逃离现实生活中的烦恼，缓解压力。由此可知，E. Creative musical experience also provides an escape from daily routines.(富有创意的音乐体验还能让人暂时摆脱日常的繁琐事务)符合语境。故选E项。 40．根据上文“Deep engagement in music adds meaning to later life, bringing happiness through creativity and commitment.(对音乐的深度投入能让晚年生活更有意义，通过创造力和投入感带来快乐)”可知，作者认为深入学习音乐使老年人的生活更有意义，也能带来快乐。由此可知，B. Becoming a “musician” is thus a worthy goal for older adults.(因此，对于老年人来说，成为“音乐人”是一个值得追求的目标)符合语境，建议老年人学习音乐。故选B项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. 41 , this was not a practical option; I came here for more noble reasons.

He used a printed map and paid for everything 58   (use) cash or a bank card. Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, and used two cameras to record 59 he saw and experienced along the way. “I realized that the 134 days was the most fulfilling, 60 (focus) and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute 61 (concentrate),” says Yang. Since his story was posted online, it 62 (bring) about widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. One netizen 63 (say) that while technology makes the world smaller 64 we seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things. Another netizen wrote that not having a phone would bring anxiety in modern society because phones combine many functions in one. Though Yang foresaw that his journey would trigger (引发) some discussion, the public attention it has drawn is 65 (true) beyond his imagination. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day. 【答案】 56．when 57．a 58．using 59．what 60．focused 61．concentration 62．has brought 63．said 64．and 65．truly 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了32岁的博士生杨淏在不依赖现代技术的情况下旅行的经历以及由此引发的思考。 56．考查定语从句。句意：在这个我们大多数人离开数字设备无法生活的数字时代，32岁的在英国读博士的杨淏去年以传统的方式踏上了一段独行旅途，这件事听起来可能很难令人相信。设空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词this digital age，关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。 57．考查冠词。句意同上。student为可数名词，此处泛指“一个32岁的博士生”，32-year-old发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：他使用纸质地图，用现金或银行卡支付一切费用。本句已有谓语，故设空处应用非谓语动词。use与其逻辑主语He之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式作状语。故填using。 59．考查宾语从句。句意：在134天的旅程中，他走过了中国24个省区的68个县市，读了40本书，用两台相机记录了一路上的所见所闻。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。 60．考查形容词。句意：“我意识到这134天是我生命中最充实、最专注、最高效的时期。这是一次绝对专注的经历，”杨说。空处与fulfilling、productive并列，作定语修饰名词period，应用形容词focused，表示“专注的”。故填focused。 61．考查名词。句意同上。空处用于介词of之后，应用名词concentration作宾语，表示“专注”，为不可数名词。故填concentration。 62．考查动词时态。句意：自从他的故事被发布到网上以来，就引发了人们如今对科技依赖的广泛讨论和反思。设空处在句中作主句谓语，根据Since引导的时间状语从句可知，主句应用现在完成时，表示从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作或状态；主语it为单数，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填has brought。 63．考查动词时态。句意：一位网友表示，尽管科技让世界变得更小，我们似乎手头拥有了更多资源，但也失去了一些东西。设空处作谓语，根据语境和后文的wrote可知，此处讲述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填said。 64．考查连词。句意同上。technology makes the world smaller与we seem to have more resources to hand之间是并列关系，应用并列连词and连接。故填and。 65．考查副词。句意：虽然杨淏预想过他的旅行将引发一些讨论，但其所引起的公众关注度确实超出了他的想象。空处修饰介词短语beyond his imagination，应用副词truly作状语，表示“确实，真正地”。故填truly。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，你的新西兰网友Tom曾在开学初鼓励你积极适应高中生活。现在高一上学期即将结束，你感想颇多。请你给他写一封信。内容包括： 1. 你的经历与成长； 2. 对未来学习生活的展望。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Tom, How is everything going?

I’m writing to share with you my life as a senior high student. The first semester is drawing to a close, and I’ve experienced many changes. Senior high is quite different from junior high. We have a larger campus, more independent learning, and closer teacher-student contact. These changes have helped me become more organized and active. Now I can manage time properly and balance my study with extracurricular activities. I feel more confident when facing challenges. Looking ahead, I hope to join a school club and improve my English further. I believe the coming semester will be even more rewarding.

The classroom was full of loud chatter, with students laughing and talking to each other, but I kept my eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up. My family had just moved to the city after my dad lost his job, and I didn’t know a single person here. The strange environment made my hands feel sweaty, and I tightly held my schoolbag strap (带子), hoping no one would notice me. As students hurried to find seats, only one was still empty — right beside a boy named Leo. He, too, was new to the class. He took a quick look at me, then turned his eyes away at once. I walked over quietly and sat down, hoping not to draw any attention. Over the next few weeks, I noticed Leo never joined any group conversations. He always ate lunch alone, seldom spoke in class, and wore the same washed-out blue jacket every day. Some classmates whispered (私下说) about him — they said he’d always had trouble keeping up in school. A few unkind students even said that he wasn’t quick in mind and was hard to get along with. Then one afternoon, our teacher announced we would work on a science project — with a partner. Everyone quickly teamed up until I was the only one still without a partner. Just as I began to worry, Leo raised his hand slowly and asked softly, “Would you like to work together?” I nodded and said yes. 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。 To my surprise, Leo knew so much about plants, animals, and nature. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the presentation, our project received the highest score. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To my surprise, Leo knew so much about plants, animals, and nature. He told me he had spent several summers volunteering at a local nature centre. During our work, he explained difficult ideas in a clear and easy way, drew detailed pictures to help me understand, and even stayed after school to help me make our model. I finally realized that his quietness was not a sign of weakness — it was because he was paying full attention to things he cared about. Those rumors about him turned out to be totally untrue. On the day of the presentation, our project received the highest score. After class, Leo gave me a small, real smile. “Thank you,” he said, “for not believing what others said about me.” “Thank you,” I replied, “for choosing me as your partner.” We walked out of the classroom side by side. From that day on, I understood that silence does not mean emptiness, and a simple, faded jacket does not mean there is nothing valuable inside. Sometimes, what is quiet and plain holds the most beautiful stories. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中新生因转学感到孤独，与新同学Leo成为科学项目搭档，发现他丰富的自然知识，最终合作成功并打破偏见的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“令我惊讶的是，Leo对植物、动物和自然了解得如此之多。”可知，第一段可描写Leo在项目合作中展现出的丰富知识和细心指导，使“我”改变了对他的看法，认识到他的专注与内在价值。 ②由第二段首句“项目展示当天，我们的项目获得了最高分。”可知，第二段可描写合作成功后Leo与“我”的真诚交流，以及“我”从中领悟到的深刻道理——沉默与朴素的外表下可能蕴藏着丰富的内涵。 2. 续写线索：展现知识——耐心指导——改变看法——获得成功——真诚致谢——深刻感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify/illuminate ②绘画：draw/sketch/illustrate ③选择：choose/select/pick 情绪类 ①注意：pay full attention to/give one’s undivided attention to ②在意：care about/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1] I finally realized that his quietness was not a sign of weakness — it was because he was paying full attention to things he cared about.
