It is normal to feel a bit worried about exams, but you can do something to make it easier for yourself. First, believe in yourself. Remind yourself of all the times you succeeded in situations you were afraid you’d fail. Give yourself credit and become your own best cheerleader. Second, don’t compare yourself with others. Comparing yourself to others usually doesn’t get you far as everyone is unique. You’re great as you arc. Finally, talk to someone - a friend, a parent, or a teacher.

The employees paraded around one of the museum’s circular spaces during the first celebration. 31 years later, UNESCO declared Pi Day as the International Day of Mathematics. Nowadays, Pi Day is celebrated across the world. American schools usually hold activities related to the food pie, such as pie-eating contests or simply throwing pie at each other. In some Chinese schools, competitions are held where the student who can accurately recite the most digits of pi wins. In Germany, schools encourage students to express their artistic talents through art displays centered around pi, ranging from pi-inspired paintings to mathematical sculptures. For tonight’s lecture, we are honored to have Mr. Russell Wang, who will share with us some interesting stories about pi in history. Mr. Wang is a popular science writer ... 二、阅读理解 Founded in 2007, Short of the Week, the premier, industry-and-fan-trusted short film platform, is intended to showcase top emerging filmmakers’ works. Here your film appears on the front page, gains thousands of new fans, and connects directly with the world’s largest short film community of producers, programmers and filmmakers. For consideration, the guidelines are as follows: Requirements · Films need to be 40 minutes or less. We prefer films shorter than 10 minutes. · We like premieres (首映). There is no completion date requirement. · We require films to have all necessary rights and releases secured for us to feature them, including music. · We only select films that are free for audiences. What We Look For We look for great stories that brave new territory. We value great characters, interesting new worlds, and stories that surprise us over fancy visual effects, famous actors, or silly one-liners that often feed most online videos. So when screening films, we tend to score them based on three aspects: · Head — Does it break new ground and have us thinking about something in a new way? · Heart — Does it appeal to our emotion? · Hand — Does it exhibit great skill and craftsmanship? What We Avoid We have no hard rules. In general, though, the following are not a good fit for us: · Music videos or abstract films with no or little story · Films driven merely by special effects · Commercials or purely promotional pieces · Travel photography videos Refund Policy As with other festivals, your fee is paid for your film to be considered. Submission doesn’t guarantee acceptance. If your film is not accepted, your submission fee won’t be refunded. 21．(0分)What’s the aim of Short of the Week? A．To attract filmmakers. B．To promote good short films. C．To introduce its guidelines. D．To evaluate the quality of films. 22．What’s a must for the submitted film? A．Lasting under 15 minutes. B．Meeting the set entry deadline. C．Featuring distinctive music. D．Being fully licensed for publication. 23．What do the judges care most? A．Fresh, moving plots. B．Renowned actors. C．Fancy, special effects. D．Commercial values. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了Short of the Week这一短片平台的相关信息，包括其成立目的、提交影片的要求、评审标准、避免的类型以及退款政策等。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第一段“Founded in 2007, Short of the Week, the premier, industry-and-fan-trusted short film platform, is intended to showcase top emerging filmmakers’ works. (Short of the Week成立于2007年，是业界和影迷信赖的首屈一指的短片平台，旨在展示顶级新兴电影人的作品。)”可知，Short of the Week的目的是展示顶级新兴电影人的作品，即推广优秀的短片。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据Requirements部分“We require films to have all necessary rights and releases secured for us to feature them, including music. (我们要求影片必须获得所有必要的权利和许可，以便我们能够展示它们，包括音乐。)”可知，提交的影片必须获得完整的出版许可。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据What We Look For部分“We look for great stories that brave new territory. We value great characters, interesting new worlds, and stories that surprise us over fancy visual effects, famous actors, or silly one-liners that often feed most online videos. (我们寻找勇敢开拓新领域的精彩故事。我们重视伟大的角色、有趣的新世界，以及那些能让我们感到惊讶的故事，而不是华丽的视觉效果、著名的演员，或是那些常常充斥于大多数网络视频中的愚蠢的一句台词。)”以及“So when screening films, we tend to score them based on three aspects: Head — Does it break new ground and have us thinking about something in a new way? Heart — Does it appeal to our emotion? Hand — Does it exhibit great skill and craftsmanship? (所以，在筛选电影时，我们倾向于从三个方面对它们进行评分：头脑——它是否开拓了新的领域，让我们以新的方式思考？心灵——它是否吸引了我们的情感？手艺——它是否展现了高超的技巧和工艺？)”可知，评审最看重的是新颖、动人的情节。故选A项。 On my first weekend abroad, I attended a dinner party with my host family to celebrate the New Year. It was everything I had imagined a French dinner party would be — multiple courses, a variety of cheeses, bottles of champagne, and slices of fresh bread. Then, at the end of the meal, the host called out. “Okay, everyone, get under the table!” What? An earthquake broke out? I watched as the children came running into the dining room and hid under the table. As it turns out, in the days after the New Year, the French celebrate with the galette des rois, or the “king cake”, a special cake with its own set of traditions. There is a small toy hidden inside the cake, and whoever finds it in their serving is the winner. Before it is sliced, all the children hide under the table so that they cannot see who will get the slice with the toy. I’ve learned that many French traditions focus on food, and often they’ve taken me by surprise! From time to time, I’ve experienced a sense of culture shock, the feeling of confusion in a new country when you’re adjusting to things that maybe unfamiliar to you. Thankfully, I haven’t run into anything too difficult to manage. Before leaving for France, I learned strategies from the International Programs Office, a facility which helps prepare students to deal with these kinds of ups and downs. They explained the phenomenon with a line graph to illustrate the highs and lows of the experience. You may experience a “honeymoon” phase, where you find everything new and exciting or even better than your home country. You may also experience low points, where all these little differences may seem frustrating and overwhelming. I encountered a new fun, food-related cultural difference while in France. For example, the French eat with both wrists resting on the table, while many Americans tend to keep their left hands in their laps. I hadn’t even noticed the difference until my five-year-old host brother pointed it out! Moreover, on formal occasions, people tend to straighten their back. And it is also common to use bread as a utensil (用具), holding it in your hand like a knife, or using it to clean up the plate at the end of the meal. Finally, I love hearing “Bon Appétit!” (Good appetite!) before eating, whether I am seated at the table with my host family, or just grabbing a coffee at a nearby café! 24．(0分)What was the author’s original expectation of a French dinner? A．A simple but efficient take-out. B．A hearty feast with no drinks. C．An exciting occasion with table games. D．A fine meal with a series of dishes. 25．What can be learned from the text about the International Programs Office? A．Its advice is usually of little use in real situations. B．Its training can partly prepare students for cultural shocks. C．It mainly focuses on teaching students the French language. D．It guarantees international students have no difficulties abroad. 26．What did the author find about French dining customs in the last paragraph? A．Frenchmen eat with their left hands resting in their laps. B．French diners are often greeted with pre-eating blessings. C．French people keep straightening up when dining with friends. D．French kids are required to clean up the plates at the end of the meal. 27．What’s the tone of the author when describing his experiences in France? A．Anxious and fearful. B．Ironic and critical. C．Unconcerned and indifferent. D．Curious and light-hearted. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．B 27．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在法国寄宿家庭参加新年晚宴，体验了国王饼的独特习俗，还发现法式餐桌礼仪差异，虽遇文化冲击，但借助所学策略从容应对。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was everything I had imagined a French dinner party would be — multiple courses, a variety of cheeses, bottles of champagne, and slices of fresh bread.(这是我所想象的法国晚宴的一切——多种菜肴、各种奶酪、一瓶瓶香槟和几片新鲜面包)”可知，作者最初期待的法国晚宴是一顿有多道菜的精美晚餐。故选D项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before leaving for France, I learned strategies from the International Programs Office, a facility which helps prepare students to deal with these kinds of ups and downs. (在去法国之前，我从国际项目办公室学习了一些策略，这是一个帮助学生应对这些起伏的机构)”可知，International Programs Office能在一定程度上帮助学生应对文化冲击。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Finally, I love hearing “Bon Appétit!” (Good appetite!) before eating, whether I am seated at the table with my host family, or just grabbing a coffee at a nearby café!( 最后，我喜欢听到那句“Bon Appétit!(祝你好胃口！)”在吃饭之前，不管我是和寄宿家庭坐在一起，还是在附近的咖啡馆喝杯咖啡！)”可知，法国人用餐前常会收到用餐祝福。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’ve learned that many French traditions focus on food, and often they’ve taken me by surprise! From time to time, I’ve experienced a sense of culture shock, the feeling of confusion in a new country when you’ re adjusting to things that maybe unfamiliar to you. Thankfully, I haven’t run into anything too difficult to manage.(我了解到许多法国传统注重食物，它们经常让我大吃一惊！时不时地，我经历过一种文化冲击的感觉，当你在一个新的国家适应你不熟悉的事物时，你会感到困惑。谢天谢地，我还没有遇到任何难以管理的事情)”以及最后一段中“I encountered a new fun, food-related cultural difference while in France.(在法国期间，我遇到了一种新的有趣的、与食物有关的文化差异)”和“Finally, I love hearing “Bon Appétit!”(最后，我喜欢听到那句“Bon Appétit!(祝你好胃口！)”)”及轻松的叙述风格，可推知作者在描述法国经历时是“好奇且轻松的”。故选D项。 It is mid-October, and some of our most important traditions are behind us: the Opening of School Assembly, Homecoming, and Mountain Day. Before joining Brearley School, I had heard of these events, but no description truly prepared me for how much they meant to students. From a young age, students watch older peers (同辈) lead these traditions and hope to do the same one day. Many seniors remember the moment they were inspired to take part in the activities. It might have been as a kindergartener, watching the Athletic Association leaders cheer, or as a Class IV student, receiving a class mascot (吉祥物) from Class XII after singing special songs. It could even have been as a Class VII student, listening to student leaders speak at the Opening of School Assembly. These experiences connect different grades and reflect the school’s values. Seniors do not act “too cool” during these times. Instead, they show respect and kindness, setting an example to younger students. Along with teachers, they help build a community where everyone cares for each other. Traditions serve our community in many ways. They give students something to look forward to and connect them with past generations of Brearley graduates. They also shape our culture and help us live out our values. This was clear on Mountain Day as I walked by the lake with two seniors who had joined me on past hikes. We talked about the supportive classmates, books we had read, and how nice it was to step away from our desks and enjoy nature. I pointed out younger students walking ahead of us and said, “They remind me at their age-bright-eyed and wanting to be near older students.” We laughed. And that’s the power of traditions. 28．(0分)What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Events. B．Rules. C．Classes. D．Pioneers. 29．What do seniors do during the school activities? A．They set new rules for all students. B．They outperform younger students. C．They overlook teachers’ warnings. D．They build a caring environment. 30．What does the author want to highlight in paragraph 3? A．Shared values of the school. B．Heartfelt wishes of the students. C．The role of the school’s traditions. D．The meaning of friendship. 31．What can we infer about the author? A．He is a sharp-eyed college student. B．He has a deep love for his school. C．He dreams of becoming a teacher. D．He is against the two seniors’ words. 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的亲身经历和观察，讲述了布里尔利学校(Brearley School)传统活动对学生的意义以及这些传统是如何塑造学校文化和价值观的。 【详解】28．词句猜测题。根据画线词前“Before joining Brearley School, I had heard of these events(在进入布里尔利学校之前，我就已经听说过这些活动了)”可知，此处代词they指代学校举办的各种活动。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, they show respect and kindness, setting an example to younger students. Along with teachers, they help build a community where everyone cares for each other.(相反，他们展现出尊重与友善的态度，为年轻学生们树立了榜样。他们与教师们一起，共同构建了一个大家相互关爱的社区)”可知，高年级学生在活动中营造了一个充满关爱的校园环境。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditions serve our community in many ways. They give students something to look forward to and connect them with past generations of Brearley graduates. They also shape our culture and help us live out our values.(传统在许多方面为我们的社区做出了贡献。它们为学生们提供了期待的目标，并让他们与布里尔利学校的前辈们建立起联系。此外，传统还塑造了我们的文化，并帮助我们践行我们的价值观)”可知，作者在本段旨在凸显学校传统的作用。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Before joining Brearley School, I had heard of these events, but no description truly prepared me for how much they meant to students.(在进入布里尔利学校之前，我曾听说过这些事情，但任何描述都无法真正让我理解这些事件对学生来说意味着什么程度的重要性)”以及最后一段“This was clear on Mountain Day as I walked by the lake with two seniors who had joined me on past hikes. We talked about the supportive classmates, books we had read, and how nice it was to step away from our desks and enjoy nature. I pointed out younger students walking ahead of us and said, “They remind me at their age-bright-eyed and wanting to be near older students.” We laughed. And that’s the power of traditions.(在登山日那天，我与两位曾与我一同参加过多次徒步活动的高年级学生一起在湖边散步，当时的情况就非常清晰。我们谈论了那些给予我们支持的同学、我们读过的书籍，以及离开书桌去享受大自然是多么美好。我指了指走在我们前面的年轻学生，并说道：“他们让我想起我在他们那个年纪的样子——目光明亮，渴望接近年长的同学。”我们笑了。这就是传统的力量所在)”可推断，作者对母校有深厚的感情。故选B。 “Mathematical symbolism is present in every kind of literature, from fairy stories right through to War and Peace,” claims mathematician Sarah Hart. In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry and novels. She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe” — showing how numbers bleed into our very first encounters with the world of words. This is not just through counting but also through the rhythms (节奏) and rhyme patterns. It’s also through trebling — where a word or phrase is repeated three times, such as “Row, row, row your boat.” The number three has a special hold on Western literature and languages in general. It pervades common phrases — “Three cheers for ...,” “Ready, Set, Go!” “Learning your ABCs.” Characters tend to come in threes too, like “The Three Little Pigs”. Hart suggests this emphasis on three has some basis in mathematics. Three is the minimum number of points that can define a two-dimensional shape, and the minimum number of sticks that can make a stable rigid structure, that is, a triangle. These mathematical properties give the number three “a sense of strength and completeness”, Hart writes. For a book about math and literature, it’s not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort. Perhaps more revelatory (启发性的) is her look at how math also shapes the structure of novels. Hart’s breakdowns of both math and literature make the book easy for anyone to follow, no matter their proficiency (精通) in either subject, though familiarity with some of the math and literature references might make for a slightly more satisfying read. Not everyone who finishes the book will discover the mathematical treasure hidden in a book or poem. But that takes little away from the appeal of reading Once Upon a Prime, a joyous tour of mathematical and literary pleasure. 32．(0分)Why does Sarah Hart mention nursery rhymes in her book? A．To make her book readable to children. B．To recommend some classical nursery rhymes. C．To present the writing styles of nursery rhymes. D．To prove math can be found in almost any literature. 33．What does the underlined word “pervades” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Spreads through. B．Relies on. C．Refers to. D．Starts with. 34．What aspect of literature does Sarah Hart focus on in her book? A．The use of numbers in novels. B．The role of mathematics in poetry. C．The influence of structures on storytelling. D．The significance of counting in fairy stories. 35．What does the author think of Once Upon a Prime? A．Objective and serious. B．Humorous and plain. C．Understandable and pleasant. D．In-depth and dull. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了数学家Sarah Hart的著作Once Upon a Prime，该书揭示了从童谣、诗歌到小说等各类文学作品中隐藏的数学符号和数学结构。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Mathematical symbolism is present in every kind of literature, from fairy stories right through to War and Peace(数学符号存在于各种文学作品中，从童话故事到《战争与和平》)”以及第二段“She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe” — showing how numbers bleed into our very first encounters with the world of words.(她以童谣开头，通常充满了数数的内容——比如“一、二、扣上我的鞋”——展示了数字是如何融入我们第一次接触单词世界的)”可推知，Sarah Hart提到童谣是为了证明数学几乎可以在任何文学作品中找到。 33．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Characters tend to come in threes too, like “The Three Little Pigs”.(角色通常也以三人为一组出现，比如《三只小猪》)”及““Three cheers for ...,” “Ready, Set, Go!” “Learning your ABCs.”(“为……三声掌声！” “准备好了，开始！” “学习你的ABC。”)”等例子可推知，数字三在西方文学和语言中广泛存在、贯穿其中。由此可知，划线词pervades意为“渗透、遍及、弥漫”，与spreads through“传遍、遍及”意思最接近。 34．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“For a book about math and literature, it’s not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort. Perhaps more revelatory (启发性的) is her look at how math also shapes the structure of novels.( 对于一本关于数学与文学的书来说，Hart将大量篇幅放在诗歌上并不令人意外，因为诗歌常常以某种模式为特征。或许更具启发性的是她对数学如何塑造小说结构的探讨)”可推知，Sarah Hart在书中关注的是数学对诗歌和小说结构的影响，即数学在文学中的作用，尤其是诗歌中数学的角色。 35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hart’s breakdowns of both math and literature make the book easy for anyone to follow, no matter their proficiency (精通) in either subject, though familiarity with some of the math and literature references might make for a slightly more satisfying read.(Hart对数学和文学的详细解析，使得这本书无论读者在其中任何一门学科的掌握程度如何，都能轻松理解。不过，若对部分数学和文学内容有所了解，阅读体验可能会更加顺畅愉悦)”可推知，作者认为这本书既通俗易懂（understandable），又令人愉悦（pleasant）。 Parents of school-aged children are all too familiar with the after-school conversation that goes like this: “How was your school?” “Fine.” “What did you learn?” “Nothing.” 36(0分) Talking with children in the right way helps them understand the world, grow their vocabulary, build trust and learn how to use language properly. Believe it or not, these conversations can even influence how certain parts of a child’s brain develop. The list below details some ways parents can start language building conversations to improve children’s literacy and family relationships. ●Listen actively. 37 It includes making eye contact, stopping tasks at hand and repeating what they are saying, and what they may be feeling to make sure you understand. ●Ask open-ended questions. Try avoiding questions that can simply be answered with “yes”, “no” or “nothing”. Open-ended questions usually begin with words like “Why, how, describe…”, “Tell me about…”, or “What do you think about…”. 38 ●Try the “Strive-for-Five” framework. This conversational framework was developed by educators David Dickinson and Ann B．Morse. It aims to improve conversations by encouraging parents and educators to strive for five conversational turns with children, instead of the usual three to help kids build language skills. To try this, continue the conversation by asking fun open-ended follow-up questions or sharing another thought. 39 ●Make conversations part of your daily life. If you find it difficult to actively listen and have purposeful conversations at certain times, plan them when it’s easier. 40 By using any or all of these suggestions, you can have more meaningful conversations. Not only will they help kids understand language better, but they’ll also make family relationships stronger. A．Don’t end it too soon. B．Show your kids how to be active listeners. C．Most children are too tired to talk after school. D．For example, talk while cooking, cleaning or reading together. E．These questions encourage children to think deeper and share more. F．Active listening means showing real interest in what kids want to share. G．But having quality conversations with kids is not just about learning how their school day goes. 【答案】36．G 37．F 38．E 39．A 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，就如何与孩子开展高质量对话给出具体建议。 【详解】36．根据空前一句 “Parents of school-aged children are all too familiar with the after-school conversation that goes like this: “How was your school?” “Fine.” “What did you learn?” “Nothing.”(学龄儿童的父母对这样的课后对话再熟悉不过了：“今天在学校过得怎么样？”“挺好的。”“学到什么新知识了？”“啥也没学。”)”及空后一句“Talking with children in the right way helps them understand the world, grow their vocabulary, build trust and learn how to use language properly.(用正确的方式和孩子交谈，能帮助他们认识世界、扩充词汇量、建立信任并学会正确使用语言。)”可知，空前讨论了亲子间的无效对话；空后讨论了正确交谈的多重好处。故推知：第1空内容应起到转折过渡的作用，衔接“日常简单对话”与“高质量对话的深层意义”。选项G“But having quality conversations with kids is not just about learning how their school day goes.(但与孩子进行高质量的交谈，不仅仅是为了了解他们在学校的一天过得如何。)”符合原文内容。故选G。 37．根据空前一句“Listen actively.(积极倾听。)”及空后一句 “It includes making eye contact, stopping tasks at hand and repeating what they are saying, and what they may be feeling to make sure you understand.(这包括进行眼神交流、停下手中的事情、复述孩子所说的话以及他们可能的感受，以确保你理解了。)”可知，空前提出“积极倾听”的方法；空后解释了积极倾听的具体行为。故推知：第2空内容应是对“积极倾听”下定义。选项F“Active listening means showing real interest in what kids want to share.(积极倾听意味着对孩子想要分享的内容表现出真正的兴趣。)”符合原文内容。故选F。 38．根据空前一句 “Open-ended questions usually begin with words like “Why, how, describe…”, “Tell me about…”, or “What do you think about…”.(开放式问题通常以“为什么、怎样、描述一下……”“跟我讲讲……” 或 “你觉得…… 怎么样” 这类词汇开头。)”可知，空前讨论了开放式问题的特点。故推知：第3空内容应是说明开放式问题的作用。选项E“These questions encourage children to think deeper and share more.(这些问题能鼓励孩子更深入地思考并分享更多内容。)”符合原文内容。故选E。 39．根据空前一句“To try this, continue the conversation by asking fun open-ended follow-up questions or sharing another thought.(要做到这一点，可以通过提出有趣的开放式后续问题或分享另一个想法来延续对话。)”及该段主旨句“Try the “Strive-for-Five” framework.(试试 “五轮对话” 沟通框架。)”可知，空前讨论了“努力达成五轮对话回合”的具体做法。故推知：第4空内容应是强调不要过早结束对话。选项A “Don’t end it too soon.(不要太早结束对话)”符合原文内容。故选A。 40．根据空前文“Make conversations part of your daily life. If you find it difficult to actively listen and have purposeful conversations at certain times, plan them when it’s easier.(让交谈成为日常生活的一部分。如果你发现在某些时候很难做到积极倾听和有针对性的交谈，那就选择更容易的时机进行。)”可知，空前讨论了将对话融入日常的建议。故推知：第5空内容应是举例说明日常可交谈的场景。选项D“For example, talk while cooking, cleaning or reading together.(例如，在做饭、打扫卫生或一起阅读时交谈。)”符合原文内容。故选D。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）In Los Angeles, wildfires have destroyed countless homes in just a few days.

A recent study goes a step further: Make discomfort a direct goal. That’s more likely to motivate you 56(15分) if you only focus on what you hope to learn. In the first of five experiments, the researchers assigned several hundred students training at Second City Chicago 57 (participate) in a small-group improvisation(即兴) exercise, and then instructed half of the group that their goal during the session was “to feel awkward and uncomfortable.” The rest, 58 (that) in the control group, 59 (tell) to “feel yourself developing new skills.” Members of the first group kept at the exercise longer than the others did and took 60 (great) risks. Experiments 61 (involve) other dimensions of personal growth—engaging in expressive writing, learning about gun violence, and hearing about opposing political 62 (belief)—produced similar results. Reframing anxiety as excitement has been proven a way to improve singing in front of strangers, and thinking of stress as 63 means to boost achievement demonstrated a stress-management technique. “When people reinterpret negative experiences as 64 (function), they are more willing to engage in tasks that call forth those experiences,” the researchers explain. “Instead of seeing discomfort as unrelated to the goal 65 a signal to stop, they will start perceiving it as a sign of progress toward their goal.” 【答案】 56．than 57．to participate 58．those 59．were told 60．greater 61．involving 62．beliefs 63．a 64．functional 65．or 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明，将“不舒适”作为一种目标，而不是将它视为与目标无关或者停止的信号，它将更有可能会激励你迈向最终目标。 【详解】56．考查连词。句意：这比你只关注你想学的东西更有可能激励你。根据more可知，本句为比较级句型，空处缺少比较连词than。故填than。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：在五个实验中的第一个，研究人员安排数百名在芝加哥第二城训练的学生参加一个小组即兴练习，然后告诉其中一半的人，他们在这个过程中的目标是“感到尴尬和不舒服”。assign sb to do sth意思为：布置某人做某事，空处用不定式作宾补。故填to participate。 58．考查代词。句意：其余的人，也就是对照组的人，被告知要“感受自己在发展新技能”。空处指代the rest，为同位语结构，不止一个人，用those。故填those。 59．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：同上。空处作谓语，主语the rest为复数，与tell构成被动关系，且描述过去的实验，用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were told。 60．考查形容词的比较级。句意：第一组的成员比其他人坚持的时间更长，承担的风险更大。空处修饰risks，用形容词作定语，结合longer than the others did可知，空处用比较级greater。故填greater。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：涉及个人成长的其他方面的实验——参与表达性写作、了解枪支暴力、听取反对的政治信仰——也产生了类似的结果。本句的谓语为produced，空处为非谓语动词作后置定语，Experiments与involve构成主动关系，用现在分词。故填involving。 62．考查名词。句意：同上。空处为名词，作about的宾语，用复数形式表示泛指。故填beliefs。 63．考查冠词。句意：将焦虑重塑为兴奋已被证明是改善在陌生人面前唱歌的一种方法，而将压力视为提高成就的一种手段则是一种压力管理技巧。means“手段”为单复数同形词，此处表示“一种手段”为泛指，用不定冠词a。故填a。 64．考查形容词。句意：研究人员解释说:“当人们把负面经历重新解释为功能性的时候，他们会更愿意参与能唤起这些经历的任务。”“reinterpret…as+形容词”为固定用法，意思为：将……重新解释为……。故填functional。 65．考查连词。句意：他们不会将不适视为与目标无关或停止的信号，而是会开始将其视为向目标迈进的标志。the goal与a signal to stop之间为选择关系，用or连接。故填or。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的英国交换生朋友Tom将来中国度过暑假，他来信向你咨询暑假期间提升汉语阅读能力的建议。请你给他回一封邮件。 内容包括： 1. 推荐阅读内容：经典文学作品（如《西游记》、鲁迅短篇小说等）； 2. 推荐参与形式：加入本地或线上的读友俱乐部； 3. 分别说明以上两项建议的理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Tom, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Tom, Glad to hear you’ll spend summer in China.

(使用了which引导非限制性定语从句) 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Once, the violin was my favorite. Every evening after homework, I sat by the window to play. The notes were like soft whispers, making me feel calm. But when I had to play in front of others at school, I lost this joy. Last week, our class held a small talent show in the classroom. I was so nervous that my hands shook while playing, missing three notes in a row. After that, everyone fell quiet—it was so awkward. Since then, I’ve been scared of making mistakes. My fingers get stiff (僵硬的) when I practice for school performances, and just thinking about stepping onto the school auditorium (礼堂) stage makes my heart beat fast. I worry one wrong note will ruin the music and let my classmates and teacher down. To get over this fear, I joined the school’s orchestra (管弦乐队) last month. On the first day, our conductor Mr. Hale told us, “In two weeks, we’ll have a performance on the school auditorium stage for the whole grade.” Everyone cheered, but I felt sick. I even froze up when practicing in front of 10 orchestra members — this big stage scared me. A few days later, my friend Mia saw me practicing alone in the music classroom. She showed me a video: Joshua Bell, a great violinist, played in a busy train station. He wore a simple shirt and used an expensive violin, but most people walked by. What touched me most was how he closed his eyes and played like music was part of him. “He plays for the music itself, not the audience’s attention,” Mia said softly. I practiced harder after watching that video. I asked Mr. Hale to let me play Bell’s piece in the grade performance. He said yes: “Good music comes from your heart, not from avoiding fear. ” I marked hard parts with colored pens and even practiced in front of my desk-mate. When I wanted to give up, Mia said, “Just play what you feel — don’t worry about being perfect.” Today is the day of the performance. The school auditorium is filled with students. After the orchestra’s first two pieces, Mr. Hale looked at me and nodded — it’s my turn to play. 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。 Mia patted me on the shoulder and smiled, and I walked onto the school auditorium stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Halfway through the performance, I accidentally played a wrong note. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Mia patted me on the shoulder and smiled, and I walked onto the school auditorium stage. I gripped my violin tightly, my fingers still a little stiff. Then I saw Mia in the front row—she mouthed “you got this” and gave me a thumbs-up. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment, and remembered what Joshua Bell did: play for the music, not the crowd. When I put the bow to the strings, the first note sounded clearer than I expected. The nervousness slowly faded, and I started to focus on how the music felt, not on whether I’d make a mistake. Paragraph 2 Halfway through the performance, I accidentally played a wrong note. I kept going, just like I practiced with my desk-mate. To my surprise, the mistake didn’t ruin the music — it felt like a small pause before the melody continued. When I finished the last note, the auditorium was quiet for a second, then broke into applause. Mia was cheering the loudest. Mr. Hale smiled and nodded at me. I walked off stage, my hands no longer stiff. I realized that playing in front of others isn’t about being perfect — it’s about sharing the music I love. 【导语】本文以作者对小提琴演奏的情感变化为线索展开，讲述了作者因在班级才艺表演中失误而害怕公开演奏，后在朋友Mia和指挥Mr. Hale的鼓励下，克服恐惧、在年级管弦乐表演中成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅拍了拍我的肩膀，露出了笑容，我走上了学校礼堂的舞台”可知，第一段可描写作者登台后的紧张状态、Mia的鼓励，以及作者借助Joshua Bell的理念调整心态、专注演奏的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“表演进行到一半时，我不小心拉错了一个音符”可知，第二段可描写作者失误后的反应、表演的继续，以及结束后观众的反馈和作者由此获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：登台紧张——Mia鼓励——调整心态——专注演奏——出现失误——从容应对——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：fade/ vanish ②集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I put the bow to the strings, the first note sounded clearer than I expected.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】I realized that playing in front of others isn’t about being perfect — it’s about sharing the music I love.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和省略关系代词that的定语从句修饰先行词music) 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 —— Unit 1 Teenage Life（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）How does the man feel about the speech?

Here your film appears on the front page, gains thousands of new fans, and connects directly with the world’s largest short film community of producers, programmers and filmmakers. For consideration, the guidelines are as follows: Requirements · Films need to be 40 minutes or less. We prefer films shorter than 10 minutes. · We like premieres (首映). There is no completion date requirement. · We require films to have all necessary rights and releases secured for us to feature them, including music. · We only select films that are free for audiences. What We Look For We look for great stories that brave new territory. We value great characters, interesting new worlds, and stories that surprise us over fancy visual effects, famous actors, or silly one-liners that often feed most online videos. So when screening films, we tend to score them based on three aspects: · Head — Does it break new ground and have us thinking about something in a new way? · Heart — Does it appeal to our emotion? · Hand — Does it exhibit great skill and craftsmanship? What We Avoid We have no hard rules. In general, though, the following are not a good fit for us: · Music videos or abstract films with no or little story · Films driven merely by special effects · Commercials or purely promotional pieces · Travel photography videos Refund Policy As with other festivals, your fee is paid for your film to be considered. Submission doesn’t guarantee acceptance. If your film is not accepted, your submission fee won’t be refunded. 21．(0分)What’s the aim of Short of the Week? A．To attract filmmakers. B．To promote good short films. C．To introduce its guidelines. D．To evaluate the quality of films. 22．What’s a must for the submitted film? A．Lasting under 15 minutes. B．Meeting the set entry deadline. C．Featuring distinctive music. D．Being fully licensed for publication. 23．What do the judges care most? A．Fresh, moving plots. B．Renowned actors. C．Fancy, special effects. D．Commercial values. On my first weekend abroad, I attended a dinner party with my host family to celebrate the New Year. It was everything I had imagined a French dinner party would be — multiple courses, a variety of cheeses, bottles of champagne, and slices of fresh bread. Then, at the end of the meal, the host called out. “Okay, everyone, get under the table!” What? An earthquake broke out? I watched as the children came running into the dining room and hid under the table. As it turns out, in the days after the New Year, the French celebrate with the galette des rois, or the “king cake”, a special cake with its own set of traditions. There is a small toy hidden inside the cake, and whoever finds it in their serving is the winner. Before it is sliced, all the children hide under the table so that they cannot see who will get the slice with the toy. I’ve learned that many French traditions focus on food, and often they’ve taken me by surprise! From time to time, I’ve experienced a sense of culture shock, the feeling of confusion in a new country when you’re adjusting to things that maybe unfamiliar to you. Thankfully, I haven’t run into anything too difficult to manage. Before leaving for France, I learned strategies from the International Programs Office, a facility which helps prepare students to deal with these kinds of ups and downs. They explained the phenomenon with a line graph to illustrate the highs and lows of the experience. You may experience a “honeymoon” phase, where you find everything new and exciting or even better than your home country. You may also experience low points, where all these little differences may seem frustrating and overwhelming. I encountered a new fun, food-related cultural difference while in France. For example, the French eat with both wrists resting on the table, while many Americans tend to keep their left hands in their laps. I hadn’t even noticed the difference until my five-year-old host brother pointed it out! Moreover, on formal occasions, people tend to straighten their back. And it is also common to use bread as a utensil (用具), holding it in your hand like a knife, or using it to clean up the plate at the end of the meal. Finally, I love hearing “Bon Appétit!” (Good appetite!) before eating, whether I am seated at the table with my host family, or just grabbing a coffee at a nearby café! 24．(0分)What was the author’s original expectation of a French dinner? A．A simple but efficient take-out. B．A hearty feast with no drinks. C．An exciting occasion with table games.

Before joining Brearley School, I had heard of these events, but no description truly prepared me for how much they meant to students. From a young age, students watch older peers (同辈) lead these traditions and hope to do the same one day. Many seniors remember the moment they were inspired to take part in the activities. It might have been as a kindergartener, watching the Athletic Association leaders cheer, or as a Class IV student, receiving a class mascot (吉祥物) from Class XII after singing special songs. It could even have been as a Class VII student, listening to student leaders speak at the Opening of School Assembly. These experiences connect different grades and reflect the school’s values. Seniors do not act “too cool” during these times. Instead, they show respect and kindness, setting an example to younger students. Along with teachers, they help build a community where everyone cares for each other. Traditions serve our community in many ways. They give students something to look forward to and connect them with past generations of Brearley graduates. They also shape our culture and help us live out our values. This was clear on Mountain Day as I walked by the lake with two seniors who had joined me on past hikes. We talked about the supportive classmates, books we had read, and how nice it was to step away from our desks and enjoy nature. I pointed out younger students walking ahead of us and said, “They remind me at their age-bright-eyed and wanting to be near older students.” We laughed. And that’s the power of traditions. 28．(0分)What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Events. B．Rules. C．Classes. D．Pioneers. 29．What do seniors do during the school activities? A．They set new rules for all students. B．They outperform younger students. C．They overlook teachers’ warnings. D．They build a caring environment. 30．What does the author want to highlight in paragraph 3? A．Shared values of the school. B．Heartfelt wishes of the students. C．The role of the school’s traditions. D．The meaning of friendship. 31．What can we infer about the author? A．He is a sharp-eyed college student. B．He has a deep love for his school. C．He dreams of becoming a teacher. D．He is against the two seniors’ words. “Mathematical symbolism is present in every kind of literature, from fairy stories right through to War and Peace,” claims mathematician Sarah Hart. In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry and novels. She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe” — showing how numbers bleed into our very first encounters with the world of words. This is not just through counting but also through the rhythms (节奏) and rhyme patterns. It’s also through trebling — where a word or phrase is repeated three times, such as “Row, row, row your boat.” The number three has a special hold on Western literature and languages in general. It pervades common phrases — “Three cheers for ...,” “Ready, Set, Go!” “Learning your ABCs.” Characters tend to come in threes too, like “The Three Little Pigs”. Hart suggests this emphasis on three has some basis in mathematics. Three is the minimum number of points that can define a two-dimensional shape, and the minimum number of sticks that can make a stable rigid structure, that is, a triangle. These mathematical properties give the number three “a sense of strength and completeness”, Hart writes. For a book about math and literature, it’s not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort. Perhaps more revelatory (启发性的) is her look at how math also shapes the structure of novels. Hart’s breakdowns of both math and literature make the book easy for anyone to follow, no matter their proficiency (精通) in either subject, though familiarity with some of the math and literature references might make for a slightly more satisfying read. Not everyone who finishes the book will discover the mathematical treasure hidden in a book or poem. But that takes little away from the appeal of reading Once Upon a Prime, a joyous tour of mathematical and literary pleasure. 32．(0分)Why does Sarah Hart mention nursery rhymes in her book? A．To make her book readable to children. B．To recommend some classical nursery rhymes. C．To present the writing styles of nursery rhymes. D．To prove math can be found in almost any literature. 33．What does the underlined word “pervades” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Spreads through. B．Relies on. C．Refers to. D．Starts with. 34．What aspect of literature does Sarah Hart focus on in her book? A．The use of numbers in novels. B．The role of mathematics in poetry. C．The influence of structures on storytelling. D．The significance of counting in fairy stories. 35．What does the author think of Once Upon a Prime? A．Objective and serious. B．Humorous and plain. C．Understandable and pleasant. D．In-depth and dull. Parents of school-aged children are all too familiar with the after-school conversation that goes like this: “How was your school?” “Fine.” “What did you learn?” “Nothing.” 36(0分) Talking with children in the right way helps them understand the world, grow their vocabulary, build trust and learn how to use language properly. Believe it or not, these conversations can even influence how certain parts of a child’s brain develop. The list below details some ways parents can start language building conversations to improve children’s literacy and family relationships. ●Listen actively. 37 It includes making eye contact, stopping tasks at hand and repeating what they are saying, and what they may be feeling to make sure you understand. ●Ask open-ended questions. Try avoiding questions that can simply be answered with “yes”, “no” or “nothing”. Open-ended questions usually begin with words like “Why, how, describe…”, “Tell me about…”, or “What do you think about…”. 38 ●Try the “Strive-for-Five” framework. This conversational framework was developed by educators David Dickinson and Ann B．Morse. It aims to improve conversations by encouraging parents and educators to strive for five conversational turns with children, instead of the usual three to help kids build language skills. To try this, continue the conversation by asking fun open-ended follow-up questions or sharing another thought. 39 ●Make conversations part of your daily life. If you find it difficult to actively listen and have purposeful conversations at certain times, plan them when it’s easier. 40 By using any or all of these suggestions, you can have more meaningful conversations. Not only will they help kids understand language better, but they’ll also make family relationships stronger. A．Don’t end it too soon. B．Show your kids how to be active listeners. C．Most children are too tired to talk after school. D．For example, talk while cooking, cleaning or reading together. E．These questions encourage children to think deeper and share more. F．Active listening means showing real interest in what kids want to share. G．But having quality conversations with kids is not just about learning how their school day goes. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）In Los Angeles, wildfires have destroyed countless homes in just a few days.

A recent study goes a step further: Make discomfort a direct goal. That’s more likely to motivate you 56(15分) if you only focus on what you hope to learn. In the first of five experiments, the researchers assigned several hundred students training at Second City Chicago 57 (participate) in a small-group improvisation(即兴) exercise, and then instructed half of the group that their goal during the session was “to feel awkward and uncomfortable.” The rest, 58 (that) in the control group, 59 (tell) to “feel yourself developing new skills.” Members of the first group kept at the exercise longer than the others did and took 60 (great) risks. Experiments 61 (involve) other dimensions of personal growth—engaging in expressive writing, learning about gun violence, and hearing about opposing political 62 (belief)—produced similar results. Reframing anxiety as excitement has been proven a way to improve singing in front of strangers, and thinking of stress as 63 means to boost achievement demonstrated a stress-management technique. “When people reinterpret negative experiences as 64 (function), they are more willing to engage in tasks that call forth those experiences,” the researchers explain. “Instead of seeing discomfort as unrelated to the goal 65 a signal to stop, they will start perceiving it as a sign of progress toward their goal.” 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的英国交换生朋友Tom将来中国度过暑假，他来信向你咨询暑假期间提升汉语阅读能力的建议。请你给他回一封邮件。 内容包括： 1. 推荐阅读内容：经典文学作品（如《西游记》、鲁迅短篇小说等）； 2. 推荐参与形式：加入本地或线上的读友俱乐部； 3. 分别说明以上两项建议的理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Tom, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Once, the violin was my favorite. Every evening after homework, I sat by the window to play. The notes were like soft whispers, making me feel calm. But when I had to play in front of others at school, I lost this joy. Last week, our class held a small talent show in the classroom. I was so nervous that my hands shook while playing, missing three notes in a row. After that, everyone fell quiet—it was so awkward. Since then, I’ve been scared of making mistakes. My fingers get stiff (僵硬的) when I practice for school performances, and just thinking about stepping onto the school auditorium (礼堂) stage makes my heart beat fast. I worry one wrong note will ruin the music and let my classmates and teacher down. To get over this fear, I joined the school’s orchestra (管弦乐队) last month. On the first day, our conductor Mr. Hale told us, “In two weeks, we’ll have a performance on the school auditorium stage for the whole grade.” Everyone cheered, but I felt sick. I even froze up when practicing in front of 10 orchestra members — this big stage scared me. A few days later, my friend Mia saw me practicing alone in the music classroom. She showed me a video: Joshua Bell, a great violinist, played in a busy train station. He wore a simple shirt and used an expensive violin, but most people walked by. What touched me most was how he closed his eyes and played like music was part of him. “He plays for the music itself, not the audience’s attention,” Mia said softly. I practiced harder after watching that video. I asked Mr. Hale to let me play Bell’s piece in the grade performance. He said yes: “Good music comes from your heart, not from avoiding fear. ” I marked hard parts with colored pens and even practiced in front of my desk-mate. When I wanted to give up, Mia said, “Just play what you feel — don’t worry about being perfect.” Today is the day of the performance. The school auditorium is filled with students. After the orchestra’s first two pieces, Mr. Hale looked at me and nodded — it’s my turn to play. 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。 Mia patted me on the shoulder and smiled, and I walked onto the school auditorium stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Halfway through the performance, I accidentally played a wrong note. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
