One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 4．Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To compare him with other champions. B．To highlight his skills and achievements. C．To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D．To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 5．What made Charlie avoid his peers? A．An infectious skin disease. B．His being made fun of. C．An error in the immune system. D．His average ability to play basketball. 6．Which of the following best describes Charlie? A．Humble and responsible. B．Strong-willed and helpful. C．Innovative and generous. D．Good-natured and tolerant. 7．What message does the text convey? A．Fortune favors the prepared. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4．B 5．B 6．B 7．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】记叙文、励志故事 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了篮球运动员查理·乌尼维加的成长经历，他克服脱发症和欺凌，通过篮球获得成功，并致力于帮助他人和反对欺凌。 【详解】4．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. (一只手把球举得很高，有那么一会儿，他似乎悬在空中。然后他把球击过篮筐。扣篮！他的职业生涯可能看起来像一个灌篮，成为康涅狄格大学的全国冠军，并在多伦多猛龙队创造了初学者的记录。)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选B。 5．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. (他的成功不仅仅是因为他打篮球的能力，他今天的成就在很大程度上要归功于一种叫做斑秃的皮肤病，这种疾病不是传染性的，而是由免疫系统的错误引起的，这种错误会触发对抗细菌的细胞攻击身体自身的生发细胞。查理在10岁时受到影响，12岁时脱发。这使他成为欺凌的目标，导致他退缩并躲在帽子和兜帽下。)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 6．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off.

Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来，查理一直致力于帮助他人。从他作为新球员的第一年开始，他就担任了国家斑秃基金会的发言人，并建立了查理维拉纽瓦基金会，该组织旨在支持有脱发儿童的家庭，并阻止各种形式的欺凌。)”可知，查理一直致力于帮助他人，这表明他是乐于助人的。因此，坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选B。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，由文章第三段“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选C。 C People usually wash their produce before eating to remove residue (残留物) from pesticides. But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Screentest Challenge for inventing an AI-based handheld pesticide detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue. Now in its 17th year, the competition supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real world-solutions. When the finalists are chosen, they are paired with a 3M scientist who mentors them over the summer to help take their ideas from just concepts to models. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and cautioning him always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since pesticide residues are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimers’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe. That’s how PestiSCAND is designed. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the. wavelengths that bounce back. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish tested the device on more than12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. Sirish aims on making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes you should wash your produce anyway. He plans to use the $25,000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending. MIT. “This year’s Young Scientist Challenge finalists have demonstrated an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” Torie Clarke, EVP and chief public affairs officer at 3M, said in the press release. “I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds.” 8．What is the purpose of the competition? A．To select talents. B．To tackle problems. C．To promote STEM courses. D．To advance AI technology. 9．What inspired Sirish to make the invention? A．A household routine. B．A talk with his mother. C． An outbreak of a disease. D．An ambition to be an inventor. 10．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A．The design process. B．The wide application. C．The working principle. D．The theoretical foundation. 11．What is Torie Clarke’s attitude towards the inventors? A．Indifferent. B．Tolerant. C．Dismissive. D．Favorable. 【答案】8．B 9．A 10．C 11．D 【难度】0.65 【知识点】发明与创造 、说明文 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了来自乔治亚州的14岁的Sirish Subash发明了一种基于人工智能的手持式农药检测器，在检测农药残留方面非常准确，赢得了2024年3M青年筛检挑战赛。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Now in its 17th year, the competition supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real world-solutions.(今年是该竞赛的第17个年头，它支持中学生创造性地思考，并应用STEM原则来发现现实世界的解决方案)”可知，比赛的目的是解决问题。故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and cautioning him always do so.(Sirish的获奖之旅来自于看着他的母亲洗蔬菜和水果，并提醒他一定要这样做)”可知，家庭例行公事激发了Sirish的发明灵感。故选A。 10．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the. wavelengths that bounce back. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish tested the device on more than12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes.(该装置的工作原理是将光照射在农产品表面并测量其质量。反射回来的波长。PestiSCAND使用传感器和基于人工智能的处理器来实现超过85%的精度。Sirish对包括草莓、苹果和西红柿在内的12000多种食物样本进行了测试)”可知，第4段的重点是工作原理。故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段““This year’s Young Scientist Challenge finalists have demonstrated an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” Torie Clarke, EVP and chief public affairs officer at 3M, said in the press release. “I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds.”(3M执行副总裁兼首席公共事务官托利•克拉克在新闻稿中表示：“今年的青年科学家挑战赛决赛入围者展示了一种令人难以置信的能力，他们能够为世界上一些最紧迫的挑战开发创造性的解决方案。他们的智慧和科学头脑给我留下了深刻的印象和启发。”)”可知，托利·克拉克对发明者的态度是支持。故选D。 D It goes without saying that hard physical labor wears you out, but what about hard mental labor? “Influential theories suggested that fatigue (疲惫) is a sort of illusion cooked up by the brain to make us stop whatever we are doing and turn to a more gratifying activity,” says Mathias Pessiglione of Pitié-Salpêtrière University in Paris, France. “But our findings show that cognitive work results in a true functional transformation — accumulation of toxic substances — so fatigue would indeed be a signal that makes us stop working but for a different purpose: to preserve the integrity of brain functioning.” Pessiglione and colleagues wanted to understand what mental fatigue really is. They used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor brain chemistry over the course of a workday. They studied two groups of people: those who needed to think hard and those who had relatively simple cognitive tasks. They saw signs of fatigue, only in the group doing hard mental work. Those in that group also exhibited in their choices a change toward options proposing rewards at short delay with minimal effort. Critically, they also had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in the brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额皮质). Together with earlier evidence, the scientists say it supports the hypothesis that glutamate accumulation makes further activation of the prefrontal cortex more costly, such that cognitive control is more difficult after a mentally tough workday. So, is there some way to overcome this limitation of our brain’s ability to think hard? “Not really, I’m afraid,” Pessiglione said. “I would employ good old recipes: rest and sleep! There is good evidence that glutamate is removed from the brain during sleep.” There may be other practical implications of the findings. For example, the researchers say, monitoring of prefrontal cortex could help to detect severe mental fatigue. Such an ability may help adjust work agendas to avoid burnout. Pessiglione also advises people to avoid making important decisions when they’re tired. 12．What does the underlined word “gratifying” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Relaxing. B．Complex. C．Temporary. D．Rewarding. 13．What does the group performing hard mental work exhibit in the study? A．Fewer signs of mental fatigue. B．Greater motivation and effort. C．Higher efficiency in complex tasks. D．Stronger preference for immediate rewards. 14．What do we know about glutamate accumulation? A．It causes a sense of peaceful mind. B．It enhances brain function in a limited way. C．It signals the brain is emptying its mental energy. D．It decreases the cost of prefrontal cortex activation. 15．What is Pessiglione’s advice for those overwhelmed by mentally demanding tasks? A．Remove them from the work agenda. B．Reduce the complexity of all cognitive tasks. C．Schedule strategic breaks to allow for recovery. D．Apply technology to monitoring the brain activity. 【答案】12．A 13．D 14．C 15．C 【难度】0.65 【知识点】个人保健、科普知识 、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了脑力疲惫是什么，脑力疲惫产生时大脑皮层里会发生哪些变化，以及应该采取哪些措施来应对脑力疲惫。 【详解】12．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Influential theories suggested that fatigue (疲惫) is a sort of illusion cooked up by the brain to make us stop whatever we are doing and turn to (有影响力的理论认为，疲劳是大脑制造的一种错觉，让我们停止正在做的事情，转而去做)”可推知，疲劳状态下我们会转而去做更为轻松的事，从而缓解疲劳，画线词意思应该是“愉快的，轻松的”。A. Relaxing令人放松的；B. Complex复杂的；C. Temporary短暂的；D. Rewarding有意义的。故选A项。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They saw signs of fatigue, only in the group doing hard mental work. Those in that group also exhibited in their choices a change toward options proposing rewards at short delay with minimal effort. (他们看到了疲劳的迹象，只有在做艰苦脑力工作的那一组。这一组的人在他们的选择中也表现出了一种变化，即在最短的时间内以最小的努力获得奖励)”可知，在这项研究中，进行艰苦脑力劳动的那一组表现出更强烈的对即时奖励的偏好。故选D项。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Together with earlier evidence, the scientists say it supports the hypothesis that glutamate accumulation makes further activation of the prefrontal cortex more costly, such that cognitive control is more difficult after a mentally tough workday. (结合之前的证据，科学家们说，这支持了一种假设，即谷氨酸的积累使进一步激活前额叶皮质的成本更高，因此在一个精神紧张的工作日后，认知控制更加困难)”可知，谷氨酸的积累会让认知控制更加困难，这意味着大脑的精神能量在耗尽。故选C项。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So, is there some way to overcome this limitation of our brain’s ability to think hard? “Not really, I’m afraid,” Pessiglione said. “I would employ good old recipes: rest and sleep! There is good evidence that glutamate is removed from the brain during sleep.” (那么，有没有办法克服我们大脑努力思考能力的限制呢？“恐怕没有，”Pessiglione说。“我会采用古老的良方：休息和睡眠！有充分的证据表明，睡眠时大脑中的谷氨酸会被清除。”)”可知，Pessiglione建议通过休息和睡眠来克服大脑的这一局限性，也就是安排战略性的休息时间来恢复精力。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. 16 In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. 17 Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works. 18 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. 19 but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. 20 Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. A．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. B．We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation. C．We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. D．Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions. E．The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. F．What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks. G．In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. 【答案】16．C 17．E 18．A 19．D 20．G 【难度】0.4 【知识点】方法/策略、哲理感悟、个人经历 【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕失败、疲劳和成功的关系展开论述，以亲身经历为例提出措施如何解决启动疲劳和执行疲劳。 【详解】16．根据上文“There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.(没有什么比不成功更累的了)”和下文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult.(在前一种情况下，我们总是推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难)”可知，空格处应总的指出疲惫感分为两种情况，引出下文。选项C“We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.(我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳：启动疲劳和执行疲劳)”指出了两种疲劳，符合语境。故选C项。 17．根据下文“And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.(我每天的工作都是从写作这项艰巨的任务开始的。经验证明这条规则是有效的)”推知，前文应该指出了作者所说的规则是什么。选项E“The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.(解决方案很明显，但可能不容易应用：总是先处理最困难的工作)”恰好提出了一个规则，即先处理最困难的事，符合语境。故选E项。 18．下文“Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.(尽管我们愿意开始工作，但我们似乎不能把工作做好)”指出我们愿意开始工作，即没有启动疲劳，可知本段开始讨论第二种疲劳：执行疲劳。选项A“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.(执行疲劳更难处理)”符合语境。故选A项。 19．根据下文“but none of them worked.(但是没有一个奏效)”可知空格处应该指出作者尝试了很多办法，都没有成功。选项D“Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.(以前从来没有这样做过，我日复一日地不断提出解决方案)”表明作者反复提出了许多解决措施，符合语境。故选D项。 20．根据上文“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.(一个小时后，我突然醒来，脑海中清晰地浮现出解决方案)”和下文“Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.(虽然我和以前一样努力工作，但我并不感到疲劳)”推知，作者的方案是凑效的，因此他才没有觉得累。选项G“In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.(在接下来的几周里，我潜意识中想到的解决方案在每一步都被证明是正确的)”符合语境。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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On the night of the speech contest, I was worried about the shy girl. My heart 21 when I knew the boy on stage previous to her, 22 , was fairly successful with his humor and personal style. The whole audience burst out a wave of 23 almost every 30 seconds. My palms (手掌) began to 24 . It was the first time that she had been on the stage, so I couldn’t blame her for any 25 . The strong spotlight made her so insignificant that nobody 26 she had been on the stage. But the moment that 27 me occurred. I clearly heard a 28 voice, “Now, your 29 , please!” The whole audience fell quiet. Small and thin as the girl appeared, the 30 look on her face instantly caught everyone’s eyes. Then her speech was on, logical and well-organized. Words of power 31 freely out of the girl like magic. When her speech 32 , a thunderous applause sounded from the audience.

Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host. The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!” Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills. The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part. “Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged. Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.” That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school. Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. Mary stood up, her palms sweating but voice steady. “I’ve learned a lot these days. May I try?” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】个人经历、励志故事 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mary是一个害羞但怀揣电台主持梦想的女孩，尽管在公开场合讲话会让她紧张，甚至被同学嘲笑，但她仍坚持每晚练习朗读和学习演讲技巧。在学校电台招募新主持的面试中，她虽然完美完成了准备好的部分，却在即兴环节表现不佳。评委Mr. Carter指出，真正的主持需要真情实感而非机械朗读。尽管没通过面试，Mary并未放弃，而是决定以辅助身份加入电台团队，从中学习如何成为一名真正的主持人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她征求了Mr. Carter的同意，开始做一些小任务。”可知，第一段可描述Mary如何在电台团队中向他人学习，充实自己，让自己变得自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来有一天，Mr. Carter带着意想不到的消息冲了进来：Olivia突然生病了。”可知，第二段可描述Mary抓住了这次机会，勇敢推荐自己去主持，并取得成功。 2. 续写线索：作辅助——每天完成工作的同时向他人学习——努力练习——变得自信————自荐——成功——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①投身于：throw oneself into/immerse oneself in ②观察：observe/notice ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/ resolute ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1]When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.(which引导的非限制性定语从句) 试卷第22页，共22页 试卷第21页，共22页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学联培部高三上一模考试 英语（英才E） 2026.2 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 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,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you looking for your next great read?

One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 4．Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To compare him with other champions. B．To highlight his skills and achievements. C．To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D．To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 5．What made Charlie avoid his peers? A．An infectious skin disease. B．His being made fun of. C．An error in the immune system.

D．Good-natured and tolerant. 7．What message does the text convey? A．Fortune favors the prepared. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C People usually wash their produce before eating to remove residue (残留物) from pesticides. But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Screentest Challenge for inventing an AI-based handheld pesticide detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue. Now in its 17th year, the competition supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real world-solutions. When the finalists are chosen, they are paired with a 3M scientist who mentors them over the summer to help take their ideas from just concepts to models. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and cautioning him always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since pesticide residues are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimers’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe. That’s how PestiSCAND is designed. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the. wavelengths that bounce back. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish tested the device on more than12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. Sirish aims on making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes you should wash your produce anyway. He plans to use the $25,000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending. MIT. “This year’s Young Scientist Challenge finalists have demonstrated an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” Torie Clarke, EVP and chief public affairs officer at 3M, said in the press release. “I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds.” 8．What is the purpose of the competition? A．To select talents. B．To tackle problems. C．To promote STEM courses. D．To advance AI technology. 9．What inspired Sirish to make the invention? A．A household routine. B．A talk with his mother. C． An outbreak of a disease. D．An ambition to be an inventor. 10．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A．The design process. B．The wide application. C．The working principle. D．The theoretical foundation. 11．What is Torie Clarke’s attitude towards the inventors? A．Indifferent. B．Tolerant. C．Dismissive. D．Favorable. D It goes without saying that hard physical labor wears you out, but what about hard mental labor? “Influential theories suggested that fatigue (疲惫) is a sort of illusion cooked up by the brain to make us stop whatever we are doing and turn to a more gratifying activity,” says Mathias Pessiglione of Pitié-Salpêtrière University in Paris, France. “But our findings show that cognitive work results in a true functional transformation — accumulation of toxic substances — so fatigue would indeed be a signal that makes us stop working but for a different purpose: to preserve the integrity of brain functioning.” Pessiglione and colleagues wanted to understand what mental fatigue really is. They used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor brain chemistry over the course of a workday. They studied two groups of people: those who needed to think hard and those who had relatively simple cognitive tasks. They saw signs of fatigue, only in the group doing hard mental work. Those in that group also exhibited in their choices a change toward options proposing rewards at short delay with minimal effort. Critically, they also had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in the brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额皮质). Together with earlier evidence, the scientists say it supports the hypothesis that glutamate accumulation makes further activation of the prefrontal cortex more costly, such that cognitive control is more difficult after a mentally tough workday. So, is there some way to overcome this limitation of our brain’s ability to think hard? “Not really, I’m afraid,” Pessiglione said. “I would employ good old recipes: rest and sleep! There is good evidence that glutamate is removed from the brain during sleep.” There may be other practical implications of the findings. For example, the researchers say, monitoring of prefrontal cortex could help to detect severe mental fatigue. Such an ability may help adjust work agendas to avoid burnout. Pessiglione also advises people to avoid making important decisions when they’re tired. 12．What does the underlined word “gratifying” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Relaxing. B．Complex. C．Temporary. D．Rewarding. 13．What does the group performing hard mental work exhibit in the study? A．Fewer signs of mental fatigue. B．Greater motivation and effort. C．Higher efficiency in complex tasks. D．Stronger preference for immediate rewards. 14．What do we know about glutamate accumulation? A．It causes a sense of peaceful mind. B．It enhances brain function in a limited way. C．It signals the brain is emptying its mental energy. D．It decreases the cost of prefrontal cortex activation. 15．What is Pessiglione’s advice for those overwhelmed by mentally demanding tasks? A．Remove them from the work agenda. B．Reduce the complexity of all cognitive tasks. C．Schedule strategic breaks to allow for recovery. D．Apply technology to monitoring the brain activity. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. 16 In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. 17 Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works. 18 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. 19 but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. 20 Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. A．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. B．We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation. C．We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. D．Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions. E．The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. F．What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks. G．In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On the night of the speech contest, I was worried about the shy girl.

Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host. The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!” Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills. The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part. “Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged. Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.” That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第10页，共10页 试卷第1页，共10页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
