B As a first-generation university graduate,I had always felt the pressure te lead the way,to live up to expectations no one else in my family had ever faced.To get into graduate school,I focused -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第3页（共8页)- on presenting inyself not as a trainee ready to learn,but as an already successful,accomplished researcher,fully formed and self-sufficient. But after starting my Ph.D.,I was hit by wave after wave of academic challenges-not to nention the culture shock and financial stress of being an intemnational student.I barely passed my first-year classes,had a string of scholarship applications rejected,and my research was stuck while peers steadily published papers.I felt I was running an endless race with a late start,falling far behind everyone else. 母 My advisor had supported me from the very beginning,but I hesitated to share my struggles, fearing he'd see me as a failure.After 8 months of quietly carrying that weignt,I finally spoke up.I sat in my advisor's office,red-faced and anxious,words pouring out faster than I could control.For half an hour,I opened up about months of stress,doubt,and the sense that I didn't belong.I expected judgment or disappointment.Instead,my advisor histened patiently,and then calmly offered a line I'll never forget:"You are here to learn to ride a bicycle,not to invent a bicycle."That one sentence landed softly,but it broke something epen. His words redefined graduate school for me.I realized chasing produclivity and groundbreaking projects was misguided.the real goal was to learn how to do research and grow.I began counting on my advisor and peers,seeking early feedback.Every project,success or failure, became a meaningful step.Two years later,I completed my Ph.D.with hard-earned experience, supportive peers,and a personal profile I was proud ot. I went on to do further research where I mastered "riding skills"while gathering tools to "invent my own bicycle",focusing on core skills like funding proposal writing and leadership.Now, 些 as I prepare to establish my own research group,I'll remind my trainees:their first job is to learn how to ride. 24.The author presented herself as a successful researcher due to A.the need to lead her research group B.the fear of disappointing her advisor 2 the pressure from family expectations D.the desire to fit in with other graduates 25.How did the author feel after starting her Ph.D.program? A.Resentful and hesitant. B Overwhelmed and disheartened. C.Secure and accomplished. D Curious and satisfied. 26.What did the author do afiter the conversation with the advisor? A.She cnased productivity and breakthroughs. B.She decided to switch to a postdoc program. She focused more on learning core research skills She attempted to conduct research more independently. C 蛇 Ghosting is a term that refers to the practice of one person ending all forms of communication with another,without any warning or reason.Mes ages are left on "read",calls are ignored,and social media ties may be severed Before the internet,many relationships were formed within inter-connected circles,typically through friends or at work.It would have been much harder to go completely radio silent with people without the awk.wardness of bumping into them or facing negative social implications within the community.Now with so many relationships initiated online with fewer connections in common, there are fewer consequences to deal with if we decide to disconnect from someone n a -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第4页（共8页）- less-than-ethical way. Ghosting can be seen as an effortless solution for avoiding the emotional messiness of having to explain te somebody why you no longer want fo continue engaging with them.Deliberately avoiding conflicts can be a form of self-protection to safeguard the ghoster from anxiety or stress, especiany if they have had negative experiences dealing with conflict in the past. Ghosting culture can also be interpreted as resulting from the unlimited choices that we now have at our fingertips when it comes to finding a new partner,job or social circle to join.With the huge array of possibilities out there for us to pick from,it has become far too easy to view others as 搬 commodities,ready to trade in at the click of a button for something bigger and better.Decision fatigue plays a factor too,especially when we are trying to balance numerous options all in one go. Ghosting provides a practical strategy for weeding out less desirable candidates and saving our energy and time from having to explain why they didn't make the cut. Ghosting might be becoming increasingly frequent these days,but that doesn't mean it has become any easier to deal with.The ghostee might then endlessly re-examine every last interaction to pinpoint a cause for the termination of the relationship.This usually leads to negative conclusions and self-blame. However,it's not only the recipient who suffers from the consequences of ghosting.If 的 ghosting and avoidance become a common occurrence in the ghoster's social interactions with others,they risk missing out on healthy long-term relationships that require effective communication skills,problem-solving and trust in order to thrive. Disconnection is an unavoidable aspect of life but how we choose to end relationships is fully within our control.It may seem cliche but adopting old-fashioned principles,such as treating others 杯 the way we would like to be treated,will prevent us from becoming a society haunted by n undesirable behaviour. 北 27.What does the underlined word"severed"in Para.1 mean? A.Built up. B.Cut off. C.Given away. D Relied on. 28.Which of the following situations is an example of ghosting? A.A guide cancels the travel plan at the last mimute B.A child hangs out with friends without telling parents. C.A friend stops having any forms of interactions with you. A student refuses to hand in homework without explanation 爵 29.How might ghosting affect the ghostee. A.Seif-defense in the face of criticism. B.Effective management of relationship. C Self-doubt due to unexpected breakups. D.Long-term relief from intense conflicts. 30.What is the author's attitude towards ghosting? 秀 A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Uncertain D Obiective. 0 Ask most scientists if we're animals and you'll get a funny look.Of course,we're humans! But very commonly,humans are set apart from animals using random division.In 2018,a pair of long-tailed macaques were cloned to be used in biomedical research.A few years earlier,the United Nations stated that cloning people goes against human dignity.That may be a good ruling.But what exactly is dignity,and why do humans have it while intefligent,aware primates such as macaques do not?A macaque may not think or talk about dignity,but does that mean it doesn't possess it?The -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第5页（共8页）- fact is,biology won't leap to our assistance here because dignity is a human invention.. “Dignity'originates in Enlightenment dualist(二元论者)ideas separating cognition from physicality and instinct,and later a new binary emerged:the human mind and our physical bodies. In this worldview,the impulses and feelings of animal bodies (including our own)are viewed as less important than our mental experiences. Many of our laws and guidefines today create hard boraers between humans and other animals on the basis of our supposedly superior mental properties.To maintain a strict boundary between our experiences and those of all other animals,we find ourselves prioritizing what we consider mind-based phenomena when making policies.So we demote experiences of fear and promote the idea that knowing fear-recognizing it,naming it-is what matters morally.We brush under the carpet the fact that these cognitive capacities,if present at all,change throughout our lives without altering our moral status.For example,babies experience fear but can't conceptualize it.This doesn't alter our belief in their moral subjecthood. I look at the history of science and psychology research to understand how our discomfort with some aspects of being animals-from moral confusion to mortality-can spur us to tell ourselves that we're not really animals.I conclude that it's time for a much-needed change in belief that no longer splits the world into unhelpful and unscientific binaries.The overwhelming bulk of scientific data from the past few decades points to how essential our animal,physical life is to our actions,feeling and thoughts.A research into child development has shown that significant, measurable advantages in acquiring language and mathematics follow the use of physical movement and gesture. We urgently need to get a handle on what it means to be an animal and move beyond old-fashioned dualism.It's not just that we're animals:embodied,physical experiences are richer and more meaningful than we've recognized.If that means we need to rethink our relationship to other animals,so be it. 31.What can we know about "dignity"in the passage? A.It is a term which separates humans trom animats. B.It is a cognitive standard shared by all primates. C.It is an idea combining human body and mind. D.It is an emotional feature of human being. 32.Whs does the author mention the example of babies in Para.3? A.To prove cognitive ability is needed for moral subjecthood. B.To show the change of cognitive ability in moral development. C.To highlight the importance of cognitive ability in policy making. D.To stress the existence of moral status regardless of level of cognition. 33.What is the writer trying to propose? A.A shift away from dualistic thinking. B.A new method for scientific research. C.Less emphasis on physical experiences. D.More attention to cognitive development. 34.Which is the best title of the article? A.But We Are Animals,Aren't We? B.Thus We Claim Dignity,Don't We? C.But We Are Truly Different,Aren't We? D.So We Prefer Our Animal Nature,Don't We? -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第6页（共8页）- 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself?Things may not always go as intended.35 Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem.using whatever resources you nave at the time.36 They can also be anything else that's useful,such as information,advice or your own experience.ft aiso means trusting your instincts,the ability you're born with,rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges.A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong.They're thinking about how to solve the problem. 37 When we learn to soive problems for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help,it can help to build our confidence,help us feel more independent,and feel better about making decisions.Being resourcetul may not help you avoid problems,but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.38 Thrs can boost self-esteem,that is,how you feel about yourself. ./When you're facing a challenge,try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it.Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are.Next,think up as many soiutions to the problem as you can.39 Finally,review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.

Deliberate practice refers to a special type of practice that is purposeful and systematic.While regular practice might include mindiess repeudons,deliberate practice requrres focused attention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving performance.When Hogan carefully reconstructed each step of his golf swing,he was engaging in deliberate practice.He was finely -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第7页（共8页）- tuning his technique. The greatest challenge of deliberate practice is to remain focused.In the beginning,showing up and putting in your repeated practice is the most important thing.But after a while we begin to carelessly overlook small errors and miss daily opportunities for improvement.This is because the natural tendency of the human brain is to transform repeated behaviors into automatic habits.The more we repeat a task,the more mindless it becomes.Mindless activity is the enemy of deliberate practice.The danger of practicing the same thing again and again is that progress becomes assumed. 卧 Too often,we assume we are getting better simply because we are gaining experience.In reality,we are merely reinforcing our current habits-not improving themn. Deliberate practice always follows the same pattern:break the overall process down into parts, identify your weaknesses,test new strategies for each section,and then integrate your learning into the overall process. Deliberate practice does not mean that you can fashion yourself into anything with enough work and effort,though.While human beings do possess a remarkable ability to develop their skills, genes put limits on how far any individual can go.But geneties do not determine performance.It is deliberate practice that can help us maximize our potential.It turns potential into reality. 40.What is deliberate practice according to the passage? 41.What is the danger of mindless repetitien? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. According to the passage,we possess a remarkable ability to develop our skills,so we can achieve any success through deliberate practice. 43.Use an example to show how you will use deliberate practice to develop your skills?(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。今年是学校英文校刊创办十周年，为了更好地迎合读 者的需求，校刊决定增加一个新栏目。现向全校同学征集意见。你作为一名忠实读者，请写 一封邮件给校刊主编Jim,内容包括： 1.对创刊十周年表示祝贺； 2.建议新增栏目的名称、内容和推荐理由。 注意： 締 1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jim, Sincerely, Li Hua -高三年级开学测试2026年8月第8页（共8页）-
