Here are ways to include exercise in your study process. ● Exercise just before you study. Jog before a test or reviewing notes. Hit the gym on the way home to swim for a while to get ready for evening study. Doing aerobic (有氧) activity gets blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your brain, which helps your brain function better. ● Try light exercise while you study. Performing light exercise while studying can help remember some information. Intense exercise while studying may harm memory because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information. To try this, take your textbook or notes to the gym. Use a stationary bike (静态单车) while you study for at least half an hour, making sure to keep the speed not too fast. ● Go to the gym right after studying. Working out after studying can also enhance mental function and improve learning. Go for a walk or even lift weights after you study to help your brain stay active so your studying can pay off. ● Exercise at your desk. Perform chair squats (蹲) at your desk: rise, lower without sitting, hold for 10 seconds, and repeat 20 times. Try wall sits: lower into a squat with wall support, hold it for 10 seconds or 20 times, and even lift one leg for added challenge. 21. Why does intense exercise during studying reduce effectiveness? A. It lowers brain oxygen levels. B. It takes attention away. C. It increases muscle injury risks. D. It lacks aerobic training. 22. Which exercise is recommended after studying? A. Stationary biking. B. Chair squats. C. Weight training. D. A quick swim. 23. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce steps for physical health. B. To propose strategies for effective studying. C. To explain the safety measures for exercise. D. To offer exercise-study connection methods. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍运动与学习结合的好处，能提升专注力与记忆力，并给出四种方法：学习前、学习中（轻度）、学习后运动，以及在桌前做简易运动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Intense exercise while studying may harm memory because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information.(在学习时进行高强度运动可能会损害记忆力，因为此时你的大脑会把注意力集中在运动上，而不会集中于所学的内容)”可知，在学习时进行剧烈运动会降低学习效果因为这会分散注意力。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Go for a walk or even lift weights after you study to help your brain stay active so your studying can pay off.(学习结束后，不妨出去走走，或者做一些力量训练，这有助于保持大脑的活跃状态，从而使你的学习成果更加显著)”可知，学习之后应该做举重训练。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here are ways to include exercise in your study process.(以下是将锻炼纳入学习过程的方法)”结合本文介绍运动与学习结合的好处，能提升专注力与记忆力，并给出四种方法：学习前、学习中（轻度）、学习后运动，以及在桌前做简易运动。可知，这篇文章的主要目的是提供锻炼与学习相结合的方法。故选D。 (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She thought the characters were beautiful. D. She understood the intention but still disliked it. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to __________. A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy __________. A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者通过学习书法重新认识自我、接纳自我的过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. (结果，我得到了一个毫无意义且令人尴尬的名字：陈薏温，大致意思是“老”、“薏米”和“温暖”。)”以及第三段“When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. (18岁我到美国上大学时，我装出了美国口音，放弃了我的中文名字。)”可知，作者虽然理解父母取名的意图，但仍然不喜欢自己的名字。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. (2021年，在美国生活了14年后，我搬到了香港，决定学习书法。我想，为什么不重新接触一下我的文化遗产呢？)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” (我的老师曾经对我说：“当你看着这个词时，你看到的是它的身体。虽然纸上的一个词是平面的，但它承载着丰富的意义，展示了你所运用的力量、你握笔的能量、你背部的曲线。”)”可知，作者从老师的话中学到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. (我学习书法是为了找回文化根源，但我真正寻找的是回归自我)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了作者通过学习书法重新认识自我、接纳自我的过程，作者想要告诉我们要接纳真实的自己。故选B项。 (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) Whether it’s biting your nails, or going to bed at 2 a.m., we all have those annoying habits we just can’t seem to kick. But have you ever wondered why these bad habits keep winning the battle against your best efforts and intentions? Humans are creatures of habit, and our brains love doing things the same way. That’s why bad habits grow easily in the repeated actions like absentmindedly reaching for a cigarette. Another reason why your bad habits keep winning is that they often provide a quick dopamine (多巴胺) fix, creating a desire that keeps you coming back for more. Think of the immediate relaxation from a cigarette or mindless snacking. The payoff for doing these things is quick and easy, which is exactly what makes them so hard to break. So what can you do? There are two main problems with breaking bad habits. First, it’s not as enjoyable as giving in to them. When we try to resist, there’s no pleasure, no dopamine and therefore no encouragement to keep doing so. Rather than trying to remove them entirely, try to replace them with something healthier instead, or create a reward system for yourself to introduce the positive behaviour. Second, a habit is often an unconscious (无意识的) action, so making it conscious changes it into a choice. You’d better start with an intentional action. Accepting your actions without judgement helps you stay apart from the emotions that keep you tied to those habits, like guilt, shame and dissatisfaction. This increased awareness will lead you to make more intentional choices and break the automatic cycle of bad habits. Knowing the psychology behind why your bad habits keep winning hopefully gets you to make more conscious, positive choices, and build the foundation for lasting behaviour change. 28. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By explaining a reason. C. By voicing an opinion. D. By raising a question. 29. What makes bad habits hard to break? A. People’s desire to keep fit. B. Little knowledge of their effects. C. Quick and easy satisfaction provided by them. D. People’s unwillingness to change. 30. What is a problem with breaking bad habits? A. It is a conscious action. B. It is painful. C. It takes much time. D. It calls for wisdom. 31. What can help kick a bad habit according to the passage? A. Make active efforts. B. Judge your actions. C. Ignore it. D. Turn to others for help. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了坏习惯难改的原因，并给出了打破坏习惯的相关建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But have you ever wondered why these bad habits keep winning the battle against your best efforts and intentions?(但是你有没有想过为什么这些坏习惯总是能战胜你的努力和意图?)”可知，作者通过提出问题来引入话题。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Another reason why your bad habits keep winning is that they often provide a quick dopamine (多巴胺) fix, creating a desire that keeps you coming back for more. Think of the immediate relaxation from a cigarette or mindless snacking. The payoff for doing these things is quick and easy, which is exactly what makes them so hard to break.(你的坏习惯总是占上风的另一个原因是，它们通常会提供迅速的多巴胺满足，产生一种让你不断想要更多的欲望。想想从香烟或无意识的零食中立即获得的放松。做这些事情的回报是快速而容易的，这正是它们难以打破的原因)”可知，坏习惯难以改掉是因为它们提供快速且容易的满足感。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, it’s not as enjoyable as giving in to them. When we try to resist, there’s no pleasure, no dopamine and therefore no encouragement to keep doing so.(首先，它不像屈服于它们那样令人愉快。当我们试图抗拒时，没有快乐，没有多巴胺，因此也就没有继续这样做的动力)”可知，改掉坏习惯的问题在于它不会令人愉快，即改掉坏习惯是痛苦的。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Rather than trying to remove them entirely, try to replace them with something healthier instead, or create a reward system for yourself to introduce the positive behaviour.(与其试图完全去除它们，不如尝试用更健康的东西来替代它们，或者为自己创建一个奖励系统来引入积极的行为)”以及第四段中“This increased awareness will lead you to make more intentional choices and break the automatic cycle of bad habits.(这种意识的提高将引导你做出更有意识的选择，打破坏习惯的自动循环)”可知，做出积极的努力有助于改掉坏习惯。故选A。 (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) The Power of Small Daily Habits Many people believe that great success comes from big and sudden changes. But in fact, small daily habits are more powerful and long-lasting. A study published in Smithsonian Magazine shows that simple daily actions can greatly change our life. Most people ignore small habits because they show no immediate results. Exercising for 10 minutes a day, reading 5 pages of a book, or keeping a daily diary seems useless at first. Unlike big goals that bring quick excitement, small habits are boring and repetitive. However, it is these steady actions that build our ability and confidence little by little. The research followed more than 200 young people for two years. It found that those who kept small good habits made greater progress in study and life than those who only set big goals but took no daily action. One of the researchers explained that small habits help us form self-discipline. Self-discipline is the key to long-term success. Another important advantage of small habits is that they are easy to keep. Big plans often fail because they are too difficult to stick to. Small habits need little time and energy, so people are less likely to give up. Over time, these tiny changes will bring huge differences. Success is not a sudden gift, but the result of long-term accumulation of small good habits. 32. Why do people pay little attention to small habits? A. They are too difficult. B. They have no quick results. C. They take too much time. D. They are useless for success. 33. What can we learn from the two-year study? A. Big goals always bring quick success. B. Self-discipline comes from big dreams. C. Small good habits lead to long-term progress. D. Most young people have good living habits. 34. What is the biggest advantage of small habits? A. They are easy to insist on. B. They bring big excitement. C. They change people’s life overnight. D. They help people set big goals. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Set Big Goals B. The Secret of Sudden Success C. The Importance of Self-discipline D. Small Habits, Big Changes 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐明了微小日常习惯的力量，指出长期坚持小习惯能带来巨大人生改变。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。​ 根据第二段中“Most people ignore small habits because they show no immediate results.(大多数人忽视小习惯，因为它们不会立即显现成果)”可知，人们不重视小习惯是因为它们无法带来快速的成效。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。​ 根据第三段中“It found that those who kept small good habits made greater progress in study and life than those who only set big goals but took no daily action.(研究发现，那些坚持良好小习惯的人，在学习生活上取得的进步比那些只设大目标却不付诸日常行动的人更大)”可知，坚持良好的小习惯能够带来长期的进步。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。​ 根据第四段中“Another important advantage of small habits is that they are easy to keep.(小习惯的另一个重要优势在于它们易于坚持)”可知，小习惯最大的优势就是容易持之以恒。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。​ 通读全文可知，文章开篇点题，反驳了“成功源于巨变”的观点，通过研究和对比论证了微小习惯的长期力量，并在结尾重申“Success is not a sudden gift, but the result of long-term accumulation of small good habits.(成功不是突如其来的礼物，而是长期积累的小习惯的结果)”，所以全文围绕日常微小习惯的力量展开，论证长期坚持小习惯最终会带来巨大的改变因此，D项“Small Habits, Big Changes(小习惯，大变化)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作本文标题。 (共5小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking is often ignored(忽略). ___36___ It offers physical and mental benefits that lead to total happiness.

A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在祖父的鼓励下，参与修复荒废社区花园的经历。 【41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我最初很犹豫，因为我对园艺毫无兴趣，还害怕失败。A. interest兴趣；B. knowledge知识；C. experience经验；D. idea主意。“had no...”与“feared failure”构成因果关系，experience (实践经验) 最符合“restore a garden”的实际操作需求。故选C项。 【42题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这个花园处于一片荒芜的状态；到处都是杂草，剩下的那些植物也显得十分虚弱。A. peaceful宁静的；B. deserted荒废的；C. modern现代的；D. empty空的。根据下文的“weeds were everywhere, and the few remaining plants looked weak”可知，花园了到处都是杂草，剩下的那些植物也显得十分虚弱。所以花园处于一片荒芜的状态。故选B项。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：记住，每一个大变化都始于一个小步骤。A. step步骤；B. accident事故；C. event事件；D. theory理论。根据上文的句子“We start by pulling these weeds.”可知，此处指的是“步骤”，如拔草是园艺种植的第一步。故选A项。 【44题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我本想放弃的，但看到祖父那坚定不移的付出精神一直激励着我坚持下去。A. give away泄露；B. give in屈服；C. give out分发；D. give up放弃。根据上文的“my back aching under the hot sun”可知，因为背疼，所以作者肯定是想放弃。故选D项。 【45题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：尽管体力上的劳动很辛苦，但精神上的障碍却更为艰巨。A. While尽管；B. Unless除非；C. Because因为；D. If如果。“the physical labor was tough”与“the mental barrier was higher”对比转折关系，所以用“While”引导让步状语从句。故选A项。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不得不一直与脑海中那个否定我的想法的“声音”作斗争，它一直对我说：“你做不到的。”A. take拿；B. make制作；成功；C. get得到；D. do做。make it“成功”是固定搭配。选B项。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：祖父注意到我的挣扎。A. struggle挣扎；B. pain疼痛；C. willingness意愿；D. puzzle困惑。根据上文的“I had to constantly fight the voice in my head telling me I couldn’t 　6　 it.”可知，作者要与脑海中否定自己的声音作斗争，祖父肯定看到作者的“挣扎”，所以下文才给作者提建议。故选A项。 【48题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：“别把注意力集中在整个花园上，”他温和地建议道，“只需一次清理一小块区域就行。”A. angrily愤怒地；B. proudly自豪地；C. gently温和地；D. nervously紧张地。长辈指导晚辈应用gently符合常理。故选C项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不再去理会那看似无法完成的任务，而是将注意力集中在了那一平方米的土壤上。A. tried尝试；B. quitted停止；C. continued继续；D. kept保持。 根据上文“Don’t focus on the whole garden”和“Upon this simple advice, I changed my approach.”可知，作者不再看整个花园看似无法完成的任务，而是着眼于每个小任务。故选B项。 【50题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：之后，我逐渐取得进展。A. possibly可能；B. suddenly突然；C. hardly几乎不；D. gradually逐渐。上文提到的“one square meter at a time”必然导致gradually (渐进式) 进步。故选D项。 【51题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这吸引了几位志愿者，带来了新的活力与技能。A. tools工具；B. complaints抱怨；C. money金钱；D. skills技能。“fresh energy”后接并列的积极要素，skills与restore的专业性需求直接相关。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：到周末，变化显而易见。A. impossible不可能的；B. noticeable显而易见的；C. similar相似的；D. acceptable可接受的。下文的“Neat rows of new seedlings stood where weeds once ruled. (一排排整齐的新苗矗立在曾经杂草丛生的地方。)”对比原来花园的荒废状态，变化“显而易见”。故选B项。 【53题详解】 考查介词词义辨析。句意：这次经历让我明白，勇气并非意味着没有恐惧，而是在恐惧存在的情况下仍选择行动的决定。A. with带着；B. as作为；C. despite尽管；D. like像。“the decision to act”与空格后的it (代指上文的fear) 之间是让步转折关系，despite是唯一表让步的介词。故选C项。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：真正的力量源自于走出舒适区，并相信这个过程。A. stepping out of走出；B. looking for寻找；C. holding onto坚持；D. thinking about思考。结合上文作者一开始因缺乏经验犹豫、过程中想放弃以及最终逐渐取得进展可知，此处指“走出舒适区”，“comfort zone”固定搭配step out of，与“trusting the process”构成成长闭环。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们都有内在力量，只需迈出第一步去发现它。A. hide隐藏；B. doubt怀疑；C. discover发现；D. forget忘记。“inner strength”需通过行动(迈出第一步) 去发现 (discover)，呼应首段“fear of failure”到文末“true strength”的成长主题。故选C项。 四、语法填空(共10小题,共15分) (共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 An exhibition at Shanghai Library East celebrates the Year of the Snake with 270 artworks, from pieces using handicrafts recognized as intangible cultural heritage to cartoons, posters and sculptures created with digital technology.

It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. “Are you OK, my sweetheart?” Her mother’s voice came through, warm and concerned. As she fumbled for a decent excuse, she could clearly hear her father scurrying toward the phone, obviously surprised at the rare call. Before she could pour out her grievances, her parents continued softly, “Whatever happens, dear, we are here.” Aliya gripped the phone, tears rolling down like unleashed floodwaters. The conversation ended sooner than she had wished, yet Aliya felt something loosen in her chest. She quickly erased her trail in New York and flew back as determinedly as she had once left. Aliya took a job in the town library. It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe. Children came after school and embraced her before leaving. She walked home each evening, greeted by the peddlers and sometimes even friends along the way. In the warmth of her family home, she sat with her parents, hearing stories she had been too impatient to listen to before. Aliya finally felt a sense of contentment. She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Aliya从小生活在斯里兰卡宁静的小镇，一心向往外面广阔的世界。二十二岁时她拿到奖学金远赴纽约求学，努力融入当地，收获光鲜的工作与生活。三十岁失业之后，过往的繁华全部消散，她陷入迷茫失落，重新思考归属感的真正含义。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Aliya拨通家里电话，父母温暖的话语抚慰了她受伤的内心，她下定决心告别纽约，回到故乡。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Aliya回到家乡之后的日常工作与生活，在熟悉的山水与家人陪伴下，她找到了内心真正的满足，领悟归属感一直就在故乡。 2. 续写线索： 拨通家里电话 ——父母温情安慰 —— 下定决心返乡 —— 图书馆工作 —— 感受家乡烟火 —— 获得内心满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 抓住：grip/seize ② 结束：end/conclude 情绪类 ① 惊讶的：surprised/astonished ② 满足：contentment/satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe.(运用了独立主格结构作状语) 【高分句型2】She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning.(运用了动词不定式短语作结果状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期高二开学考试 英语 一、听力(共20小题,共30分) 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where is the woman from?

Here are ways to include exercise in your study process. ● Exercise just before you study. Jog before a test or reviewing notes. Hit the gym on the way home to swim for a while to get ready for evening study. Doing aerobic (有氧) activity gets blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your brain, which helps your brain function better. ● Try light exercise while you study. Performing light exercise while studying can help remember some information. Intense exercise while studying may harm memory because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information. To try this, take your textbook or notes to the gym. Use a stationary bike (静态单车) while you study for at least half an hour, making sure to keep the speed not too fast. ● Go to the gym right after studying. Working out after studying can also enhance mental function and improve learning. Go for a walk or even lift weights after you study to help your brain stay active so your studying can pay off. ● Exercise at your desk. Perform chair squats (蹲) at your desk: rise, lower without sitting, hold for 10 seconds, and repeat 20 times. Try wall sits: lower into a squat with wall support, hold it for 10 seconds or 20 times, and even lift one leg for added challenge. 21. Why does intense exercise during studying reduce effectiveness? A. It lowers brain oxygen levels. B. It takes attention away. C. It increases muscle injury risks. D. It lacks aerobic training. 22. Which exercise is recommended after studying? A. Stationary biking. B. Chair squats. C. Weight training. D. A quick swim. 23. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce steps for physical health. B. To propose strategies for effective studying. C. To explain the safety measures for exercise. D. To offer exercise-study connection methods. (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She thought the characters were beautiful. D. She understood the intention but still disliked it. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to __________. A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy __________. A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) Whether it’s biting your nails, or going to bed at 2 a.m., we all have those annoying habits we just can’t seem to kick. But have you ever wondered why these bad habits keep winning the battle against your best efforts and intentions? Humans are creatures of habit, and our brains love doing things the same way. That’s why bad habits grow easily in the repeated actions like absentmindedly reaching for a cigarette. Another reason why your bad habits keep winning is that they often provide a quick dopamine (多巴胺) fix, creating a desire that keeps you coming back for more. Think of the immediate relaxation from a cigarette or mindless snacking. The payoff for doing these things is quick and easy, which is exactly what makes them so hard to break. So what can you do? There are two main problems with breaking bad habits. First, it’s not as enjoyable as giving in to them. When we try to resist, there’s no pleasure, no dopamine and therefore no encouragement to keep doing so. Rather than trying to remove them entirely, try to replace them with something healthier instead, or create a reward system for yourself to introduce the positive behaviour. Second, a habit is often an unconscious (无意识的) action, so making it conscious changes it into a choice. You’d better start with an intentional action. Accepting your actions without judgement helps you stay apart from the emotions that keep you tied to those habits, like guilt, shame and dissatisfaction. This increased awareness will lead you to make more intentional choices and break the automatic cycle of bad habits. Knowing the psychology behind why your bad habits keep winning hopefully gets you to make more conscious, positive choices, and build the foundation for lasting behaviour change. 28. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By explaining a reason. C. By voicing an opinion. D. By raising a question. 29. What makes bad habits hard to break? A. People’s desire to keep fit. B. Little knowledge of their effects. C. Quick and easy satisfaction provided by them. D. People’s unwillingness to change. 30. What is a problem with breaking bad habits? A. It is a conscious action. B. It is painful. C. It takes much time. D. It calls for wisdom. 31. What can help kick a bad habit according to the passage? A. Make active efforts. B. Judge your actions. C. Ignore it. D. Turn to others for help. (共4小题, 每小题2.5分, 满分10分) The Power of Small Daily Habits Many people believe that great success comes from big and sudden changes. But in fact, small daily habits are more powerful and long-lasting. A study published in Smithsonian Magazine shows that simple daily actions can greatly change our life. Most people ignore small habits because they show no immediate results. Exercising for 10 minutes a day, reading 5 pages of a book, or keeping a daily diary seems useless at first. Unlike big goals that bring quick excitement, small habits are boring and repetitive. However, it is these steady actions that build our ability and confidence little by little. The research followed more than 200 young people for two years. It found that those who kept small good habits made greater progress in study and life than those who only set big goals but took no daily action. One of the researchers explained that small habits help us form self-discipline. Self-discipline is the key to long-term success. Another important advantage of small habits is that they are easy to keep. Big plans often fail because they are too difficult to stick to. Small habits need little time and energy, so people are less likely to give up. Over time, these tiny changes will bring huge differences. Success is not a sudden gift, but the result of long-term accumulation of small good habits. 32. Why do people pay little attention to small habits? A. They are too difficult. B.

It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。听下面几段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音播放两遍。Why are you studying a for language?
