B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了农场的三个项目。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Natick Community Organic Farm (NCOF) offers a unique work experience for teens. Through farm work, they learn new skills, solve problems, and become good citizens and leaders.(纳蒂克社区有机农场为青少年提供了独特的工作体验。通过农活，他们学习新技能，解决问题，成为好公民和好领袖)”且三个项目要求的年龄在14到18岁之间，可推知，这篇文章的读者是中学生。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分“The LIT position is an unpaid volunteer opportunity for motivated teens to assist in one or more weeks of our ten-week summer program with children ages 3—11.(这个职位是一个无薪的志愿者机会，为有动力的青少年提供一个或多个星期的暑期项目，帮助3到11岁的孩子)”可知，与其他课程相比，LIT的特别之处在于不付钱给参与者。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Candidates are selected by farm staff based on participation in other farm programs for their skills and “can do” attitudes. (候选人是由农场工作人员根据他们参与其他农场项目的技能和“能做”的态度来选择的)”可知，对于第三个项目的申请者，农场员工最看重的是农业技术和态度。故选B。 B We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder. Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wankara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound — new to us. We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy. I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so-clearly decades later? In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.” Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes. 4. How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance? A. They left in disappointment. B. They showed respect for it. C. They felt joyful to appreciate it. D. They approached it with doubt. 5. What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A deep understanding of music. B. A negative attitude to the world. C. A sense of connection with society. D. A strong enthusiasm for exploration. 6. Which can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Curiosity and humility aid critical thinking more than awe. B. Only long periods of awe benefit mind and body. C. Awe is the only emotion for feeling connected. D. Keltner sees awe as key to deep happiness. 7. What is the target audience of the text? A. Psychology researchers. B. High school graduates. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】s这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了作者在高中时期的一次文化体验对其产生的深远影响，并强调了将敬畏和惊奇融入教育的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange.(我和我的同学互相讽刺地鼓励着对方：谁能欣赏这场演出？表演者的衣服看起来很奇怪。乐器也很奇怪。)”可知，学生们最初对安第斯乐队的表演持怀疑态度。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared.(一旦美妙的表演照亮了舞台，大厅里充满了音乐，我十几岁时的_____就消失了。)”可知，学生们最初对安第斯乐队的表演持怀疑态度，但是当美妙的表演照亮了舞台，大厅里充满了音乐时，学生们的怀疑态度就消失了，由此可推测出“cynicism”指的是对世界的消极态度。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE”.(“在教授幸福二十年后，”Keltner写到如何找到深度的幸福，“我有一个答案：找到敬畏”。)”可知，Keltner认为敬畏是深度幸福的关键。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.(展望未来，让我们尽最大努力将敬畏的时刻融入我们的课程中。所以，当多年后我们的前学生在地铁上遇到我们时，他们会回忆起在我们课堂上度过的神奇时刻。)”可知，这篇文章是写给老师的。故选D项。 C When I first learned to play tennis, my coach’s advice was simple: “Practice, practice, practice.” Though this saying is common, is it entirely scientific? Neuroscientists recently revealed a key point: it is clear errors, not just enough repetition, that drive cerebellar (小脑的) learning. To understand why, we must look at how the cerebellum actually learns. Our cerebellum relies on “error signals” from climbing fibers — when we make a motor error, these fibers fire to alert the brain to adjust. Such signals stimulate calcium (钙) bursts, driving neuroplasticity (神经重塑) in the Purkinje cells, which is the foundation of learning. But a puzzle remains: climbing fibers also activate inhibitory (抑制的) cells that should block this process. A 2026 Nature study solved this by discovering a hidden “disinhibitory” circuit. Using high-resolution microscopy, a technique for observing extremely small biological structures, researchers found that in mice, climbing fibers don’t activate all inhibitory cells the same way — they specifically target a type called MLI2 cells, which are normally inactive. Instead of directly slowing down the Purkinje cells, MLI2 cells turn off MLI1 cells, which act as “learning brakes” that weaken calcium signals. This mechanism is most effective when multiple climbing fibers fire at the same time, which usually occurs after obvious errors. It is this firing activity that lifts the “learning brakes”, allowing Purkinje cells to generate strong signals for long-lasting learning. This is why obvious mistakes rather than mere repetition promote lasting learning. While the study was done in mice, the cerebellum’s functions are conserved across species, so the findings apply to humans. This means the brain learns most effectively when errors are obvious, whether you’re mastering a musical instrument, a new language, or a complex skill. The old saying still holds but needs an update: Practice alone doesn’t make perfect; practice with noteworthy mistakes does. So the next time you are struggling to master a new skill, let go of perfectionism and welcome mistakes. 8. How does the author introduce the new finding? A. By mentioning a tennis skill. B. By highlighting a clear mistake. C. By interpreting an old saying. D. By questioning a common belief. 9. What directly stimulates neuroplasticity? A. Motor errors. B. Calcium signals. C. Inhibitory cells. D. Learning brakes. 10. What is a function of MLI2 cells? A. Blocking the Purkinje cells. B. Activating inhibitory cells. C. Weakening calcium bursts. D. Holding back MLI1 cells. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Hard Practice Leads to Mastery B. Old Sayings Need to Be Updated C. Learning Starts with Clear Errors D. Inhibitory Cells Work in Learning 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了神经科学家的新发现：清晰的错误而非单纯重复才能驱动小脑学习。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Though this saying is common, is it entirely scientific? Neuroscientists recently revealed a key point: it is clear errors, not just enough repetition, that drive cerebellar (小脑的) learning.(尽管这句话很常见，但它完全科学吗？神经科学家最近揭示了一个关键点：驱动小脑学习的是清晰的错误，而不仅仅是足够的重复)”可知，作者通过质疑“熟能生巧”这一普遍观点来引出新发现。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Such signals stimulate calcium (钙) bursts, driving neuroplasticity (神经重塑) in the Purkinje cells, which is the foundation of learning. But a puzzle remains: climbing fibers also activate inhibitory (抑制的) cells that should block this process.(这些信号刺激钙爆发，驱动浦肯野细胞的神经重塑，这是学习的基础。但一个谜题依然存在：攀缘纤维也会激活本应阻断这一过程的抑制性细胞)”可知，钙信号直接刺激了神经重塑。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Instead of directly slowing down the Purkinje cells, MLI2 cells turn off MLI1 cells, which act as “learning brakes” that weaken calcium signals.(MLI2细胞并不直接减缓浦肯野细胞的活动，而是关闭MLI1细胞——MLI1细胞充当“学习刹车”，会削弱钙信号)”可知，MLI2细胞的功能是抑制MLI1细胞，即“压制住MLI1细胞”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Though this saying is common, is it entirely scientific? Neuroscientists recently revealed a key point: it is clear errors, not just enough repetition, that drive cerebellar (小脑的) learning.(尽管这句话很常见，但它完全科学吗？神经科学家最近揭示了一个关键点：驱动小脑学习的是清晰的错误，而不仅仅是足够的重复)”及最后一段“The old saying still holds but needs an update: Practice alone doesn’t make perfect; practice with noteworthy mistakes does.(老话依然成立，但需要更新：光练习不能做到完美；带着明显错误的练习才能)”可知，文章主要说明清晰的错误才能促进有效学习。C选项“学习始于清晰的错误”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。 D When a Los Angeles hospital authorized handwriting courses for its doctors, it highlighted a modern contradiction: in an era of digital perfection, the simple act of writing by hand remains critically important. The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方) led to a patient’s death. Even though many medical records are now stored on computers, physicians still spend a lot of their time writing notes on charts or writing prescriptions by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn’t merely an aid to communication. In some significant way, writing by hand primes the brain for learning to read. Psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer found that “Laptop note takers’ tendency to write down lectures verbatim (逐字地) rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words has a negative effect on learning.” In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. The slower pace of pen and paper acts as a cognitive filter, activating the brain for deeper comprehension. Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers worry that abandoning the pen for the keyboard will lead to any number of unforeseen negative consequences. Anne Mangen, who studies how technology transforms literacy, notes that typing, being more “abstract and unconnected,” could have profound implications; this decline is similar to a form of cultural pollution, a loss of a fundamental human capacity. A common misconception is that we have simply traded an inefficient tool for a superior one. However, like the loss of face-to-face interaction, this trade for efficiency comes at a hidden cost. We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. Ultimately, a child who masters the keyboard but cannot sign their name is not a symbol of progress. Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention. 12. Why did the hospital introduce handwriting courses? A. To follow the latest handwriting trend. B. To prevent potential medical accidents. C. To improve doctors’ handwriting skills. D. To promote the use of handwritten records. 13. What can we learn from Mueller and Oppenheimer’s research? A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding. B. Note-taking blocks verbatim comprehension. C. Keyboarding ensures higher learning efficiency. D. Handwriting benefits deeper cognitive engagement. 14. What is the cost of abandoning handwriting? A. The pollution of a traditional culture. B. The decline in communication efficiency. C. The over-reliance on modern technologies. D. The fading of an essential cognitive ability. 15. What does the author suggest we do? A. Preserve handwriting as a tradition. B. Value the crucial role of handwriting. C. Encourage keyboard use in education. D. Introduce handwriting courses widely. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了手写在认知发展中的重要作用，并指出在数字时代放弃手写可能带来的隐藏代价。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方) led to a patient’s death. (医务主任向《科学日报》解释说：“我们的许多医生书写不清晰。”后果可能很严重，正如一个不幸的案例所示，药剂师误读了医生的处方导致患者死亡)”可推知，医院引入手写课程是为了防止潜在的医疗事故。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. (在他们的实验中，用键盘打笔记的学生处理信息较为浅层，而手写记笔记的学生被迫进行总结，从而获得更好的理解)”可知，手写有助于更深层次的认知参与。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. (我们正在牺牲不可恢复的学习和认知方式)”可知，放弃手写的代价是核心认知能力的衰退。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention. (书写并非一件遗物；它是我们认知结构中的一条重要线索，其日益衰弱需要我们立即关注)”可知，作者建议我们重视手写的关键作用。 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。 Singapore has no natural freshwater resources and has been ranked among the most water-stressed countries in the world. ____16____ Thus, after gaining independence in 1965, Singapore realized that it had to take its water future into its own hands and developed a comprehensive water management plan. Singapore has developed four pillars (支柱) of water supply: imported water, desalinated (淡化的) water, local water storage and recycled water. To secure water supplies, it has entered into agreements with Malaysia, which supplies half of the water Singapore needs. However, Singapore is projected to stop importing water by 2061. ___17___ Today, Singapore has five desalination plants, which provide 25% of the island nation’s total water supply. These plants function as water purification facilities. They are also designed to be modern enough. ____18____. Singapore’s goal is to increase its desalination capacity to meet 30% of its water needs by 2060. ____19____ Rooftop water is channeled through pipes into a network of rivers, canals and reservoirs (水库). The Marina Barrage, which serves a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, not only collects fresh water but also acts as a flood protection structure. Singapore also excels at treating wastewater. At a cost of up to $10 billion, the island nation has built a modern, centralized wastewater treatment system and efficiently reused wastewater. “All wastewater is collected, treated and reused as much as possible,” said Jon Church of UN Water. ____20____ The Singapore government plans to increase this proportion to 55% by 2060, with the aim of improving the quality of life for its citizens. A. It was ruled by Britain for a long time. B. They were built right in downtown areas. C. Singapore is a master at collecting rainwater. D. Water has played a crucial role in the nation’s growth. E. Therefore, it must focus on the remaining three “taps”. F. It now recycles enough water to meet 30% of domestic needs. G. No wonder they blend naturally into the city’s contemporary landscape. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. C 20.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者在20多岁时开始学习开车，然后意识到学习新事物永远都不晚。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：我已经说要做这件事五年了，可就是从没开始。A. believe相信；B. start开始；C. stop停止；D. forget忘记。根据上文“I’ve said I would do it for five years now”和表示转折意义的“yet”可知，实际行动和想法不一致，即从未开始做这件事。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：开车似乎只是青少年才做的事，而不是二十多岁才开始，我甚至说服自己，自己好像错过了这个时机。A. seized 抓住；B. opened打开；C. missed错过；D. found发现。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing, not something you began in your twenties”可知，作者认为学习开车是青少年做的事，自己二十多岁已经错过了时机。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：上周我终于坐进驾驶座时，我的教练问我以前有没有开过车。A. instructor教练，指导员；B. boss老板；C. classmate同学；D. passenger乘客。根据上文“get my driver’s license”和“When I finally sat in the driver’s seat last week”可知，作者学习开车，应是教练询问作者问题。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我承认这是第一次。说出来感觉很尴尬，就像承认自己不会骑自行车一样。A. amusing有趣的，好玩的；B. exciting令人激动的；C. annoying烦人的；D. embarrassing令人尴尬的。根据下文“like admitting I couldn’t ride a bike”和语境可知，作者说自己是第一次开车，就像承认不会骑自行车一样，这种感受是难为情的。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：我想象着人们在评判我，疑惑我为什么没有早点这么做。A. persuading说服；B. judging评价；C. complaining抱怨；D. reminding提醒。根据下文“wondering why I hadn’t done this sooner”可知，作者想象别人会对自己二十多岁才学开车这件事有看法，觉得别人会评价自己。 【26题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：最初只是对无法开车的焦虑，逐渐演变成了对其他一切事物的担忧，比如还没搬离父母家，也未曾去过无数个国家。A. took over接管；B. broke down发生故障，分解；C. evolved into演变成，发展成；D. differed from与……不同。根据上文“What started as anxiety about not being able to drive”和下文“anxiety about everything else”可知，作者一开始只是焦虑不会开车，后来这种焦虑演变成各种焦虑。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：突然间，我所有隐秘的不安情绪又重新浮现了。A. injustices不公平；B. difficulties困难；C. mistakes错误；D. insecurities不安全感。根据上文“not having moved out of my parents’ house yet and not having travelled to countless countries”可知，作者焦虑自己没搬出家，没去过很多国家旅行，这些都是内心不安全感的体现。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当然，实际的原因也让我学习有所延迟。A. practical实际的；B. strange奇怪的；C. simple简单的；D. formal正式的。下文“Living in a city with convenient public transport, the cost of lessons, and the expense of owning a car”提到的“公共交通便利、学车成本和养车费用”都是实际存在的、现实的原因。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：住在城市里，公共交通便利，上课费用高昂，再加上买车的开销，因此在预约第一节课之前都必须仔细规划。A. followed遵循；B. avoided避免；C. required需要，要求；D. provided提供。根据下文“careful planning before booking my first lesson”可知，公共交通、学车和养车成本这些因素，意味着在报名学车前需要自己规划。 【30题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，总有一个烦人的声音提醒我，我“本该”早就完成了。A. Otherwise否则；B. Still但是，尽管如此；C. Instead相反； D. Therefore因此。上文说有现实原因推迟学车，下文说还是有声音提醒自己“本该早就学车了”，前后是转折关系。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：随着我继续学习驾驶，并在每节课中不断进步，我意识到驾驶就像许多成就一样，并没有固定的时间表。A. timeline时间线；B. approach方法；C. system系统；D. structure结构。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing, not something you began in your twenties”可知，一开始作者认为学车是青少年做的事，现在意识到开车和很多成就一样，并没有固定的时间限制。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这只是一个在最方便的时候达成的里程碑。A. urgent紧急的；B. valuable有价值的；C. helpless无助的；D. convenient方便的。根据上文“It’s just a milestone”以及上文提到作者因为现实原因推迟学车可知，这里强调时机的便利性，作者认为里程碑应该在最方便的时候达成。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：当一个人在人生某个阶段尚未完成社会认为必要的事情时，与同龄人进行比较，就会产生无能感。A. impressions印象；B. conflicts冲突；C. comparisons比较；D. relationships关系。根据下文“between peers when you haven’t done something”可知，作者认为无能感来自和同龄人比较。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. typical典型的；B. necessary必要的；C. fashionable时尚的；D. positive积极的。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing”和语境可知，社会认为在人生某个阶段应该做的事，比如青少年时期学开车，这些事是被社会认为是必要的。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：学习新事物永远不应被视作太迟。A. framed表达，表述；B. accumulated积累；C. created创造；D. researched研究。结合上文内容，对比大对数人青少年时期学车，作者二十几岁才开始学车，由此感悟到学习新事物永远不应该被说成太晚，be framed as“被界定为”。 第二节（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。 Civilizations rise and fall, but some endure.

But my thoughts kept wandering back to my hometown in Peru, where blueberry bushes carpeted the hills, a sea of blue drawing tourists to take pictures. Memories came to my mind: Little me, barefoot, ran among bushes, watching neighbors gather berries in harvest seasons. One sleepless night, I picked up an old poetry book and found Frost’s lines: “I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Those words cut straight to my heart. Early the next morning, I refused all offers and headed home. My parents wrapped me in warm hugs at the door. We chatted happily over dinner as I told them my plan to run a blueberry business. Dad frowned (皱眉), “Blueberries are nothing rare. It might be hard to make money,” he sighed. Mom had the same concern, but seeing my determined look, she nudged Dad. They agreed to let me try. I spent days busy in Mom’s kitchen. With her old recipe, I kept adjusting the flavors until I finally made jam and blueberry snacks that carried the familiar taste of my childhood. Full of hope, I set up a tiny stall (摊位) at the local market the following weekend. Yet reality hit hard. In the burning sun, people walked by without a look. By sunset, I’d only sold three jars, tired and discouraged. Just then my elderly neighbor Evo came over and said, “Young man, use what you’ve learned in college.” His words woke me up. I should sell the joy, not just fruit. Maybe our family’s blueberry field was the very place to try my idea. 注意： （1）续写词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I hurried back to tell my parents the big plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tourists were flooding into my blueberry You-Pick farm. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I hurried back to tell my parents the big plan. They hesitated at first, saying that turning our field into a picking site may harm the plants. I reasoned carefully planned route would do little harm to the plants and that selling berries alone earned little, yet selling joy could bring more value. Finally, they agreed. We then pulled out weeds, cut the bushes into shape, and planned new paths. Everything was ready! I posted the exciting news online. Tourists were flooding into my blueberry You-Pick farm. They picked berries happily, tasted homemade snacks and took photos among blueberry bushes. My small business took off smoothly. Many left carrying boxes of berries and jars of jam as a reminder of their time in the field. The market frustration slowly lifted as the warm and lively scene unfolded before me. I recalled Frost’s lines. The road less traveled led me back to my roots and blessed me with life’s sweetest harvest. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了商科毕业后，作者受诗句触动拒绝优质工作，回到秘鲁老家发展蓝莓产业。起初摆摊售卖蓝莓酱生意惨淡，邻居提点后，他打造采摘观光农场，兼顾采摘、小吃与打卡体验，吸引大批游客。事业步入正轨，他终于明白那条少有人走的路，带他回归故土，收获了生活最甜美的果实。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者告知计划，改造农场并且在网上发布消息。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写吸引大批游客，事业步入正轨，他终于明白那条少有人走的路，带他回归故土，收获了生活最甜美的果实。 2.续写线索：告知计划→改造农场→发布消息→吸引游客→步入正轨→感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①同意：agree/approve ②想起：recall/remember 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/pleasure ②令人兴奋的：exciting/thrilling 【点睛】[高分句型1] I reasoned carefully planned route would do little harm to the plants and that selling berries alone earned little, yet selling joy could bring more value.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] They hesitated at first, saying that turning our field into a picking site may harm the plants.（运用了现在分词作状语和that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 青岛二中2026—2027学年第一学期8月阶段练习—高三试题（英语） 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 听力部分 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Their management capability. B. Their farm skills and attitudes. C. Their previous work experience. D. Their character and qualifications. B We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder. Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wankara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound — new to us. We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy. I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so-clearly decades later? In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.” Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes. 4. How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance? A. They left in disappointment. B. They showed respect for it. C. They felt joyful to appreciate it. D. They approached it with doubt. 5. What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A deep understanding of music. B. A negative attitude to the world. C. A sense of connection with society. D. A strong enthusiasm for exploration. 6. Which can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Curiosity and humility aid critical thinking more than awe. B. Only long periods of awe benefit mind and body. C. Awe is the only emotion for feeling connected. D. Keltner sees awe as key to deep happiness. 7. What is the target audience of the text? A. Psychology researchers. B. High school graduates. C. Parents. D. Teachers. C When I first learned to play tennis, my coach’s advice was simple: “Practice, practice, practice.” Though this saying is common, is it entirely scientific? Neuroscientists recently revealed a key point: it is clear errors, not just enough repetition, that drive cerebellar (小脑的) learning. To understand why, we must look at how the cerebellum actually learns. Our cerebellum relies on “error signals” from climbing fibers — when we make a motor error, these fibers fire to alert the brain to adjust. Such signals stimulate calcium (钙) bursts, driving neuroplasticity (神经重塑) in the Purkinje cells, which is the foundation of learning. But a puzzle remains: climbing fibers also activate inhibitory (抑制的) cells that should block this process. A 2026 Nature study solved this by discovering a hidden “disinhibitory” circuit. Using high-resolution microscopy, a technique for observing extremely small biological structures, researchers found that in mice, climbing fibers don’t activate all inhibitory cells the same way — they specifically target a type called MLI2 cells, which are normally inactive. Instead of directly slowing down the Purkinje cells, MLI2 cells turn off MLI1 cells, which act as “learning brakes” that weaken calcium signals. This mechanism is most effective when multiple climbing fibers fire at the same time, which usually occurs after obvious errors. It is this firing activity that lifts the “learning brakes”, allowing Purkinje cells to generate strong signals for long-lasting learning. This is why obvious mistakes rather than mere repetition promote lasting learning. While the study was done in mice, the cerebellum’s functions are conserved across species, so the findings apply to humans. This means the brain learns most effectively when errors are obvious, whether you’re mastering a musical instrument, a new language, or a complex skill. The old saying still holds but needs an update: Practice alone doesn’t make perfect; practice with noteworthy mistakes does. So the next time you are struggling to master a new skill, let go of perfectionism and welcome mistakes. 8. How does the author introduce the new finding? A. By mentioning a tennis skill. B. By highlighting a clear mistake. C. By interpreting an old saying. D. By questioning a common belief. 9. What directly stimulates neuroplasticity? A. Motor errors. B. Calcium signals. C. Inhibitory cells. D. Learning brakes. 10. What is a function of MLI2 cells? A. Blocking the Purkinje cells. B. Activating inhibitory cells. C. Weakening calcium bursts. D. Holding back MLI1 cells. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Hard Practice Leads to Mastery B. Old Sayings Need to Be Updated C. Learning Starts with Clear Errors D. Inhibitory Cells Work in Learning D When a Los Angeles hospital authorized handwriting courses for its doctors, it highlighted a modern contradiction: in an era of digital perfection, the simple act of writing by hand remains critically important. The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方) led to a patient’s death. Even though many medical records are now stored on computers, physicians still spend a lot of their time writing notes on charts or writing prescriptions by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn’t merely an aid to communication. In some significant way, writing by hand primes the brain for learning to read. Psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer found that “Laptop note takers’ tendency to write down lectures verbatim (逐字地) rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words has a negative effect on learning.” In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. The slower pace of pen and paper acts as a cognitive filter, activating the brain for deeper comprehension. Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers worry that abandoning the pen for the keyboard will lead to any number of unforeseen negative consequences. Anne Mangen, who studies how technology transforms literacy, notes that typing, being more “abstract and unconnected,” could have profound implications; this decline is similar to a form of cultural pollution, a loss of a fundamental human capacity. A common misconception is that we have simply traded an inefficient tool for a superior one. However, like the loss of face-to-face interaction, this trade for efficiency comes at a hidden cost. We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. Ultimately, a child who masters the keyboard but cannot sign their name is not a symbol of progress. Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention. 12. Why did the hospital introduce handwriting courses? A. To follow the latest handwriting trend. B. To prevent potential medical accidents. C. To improve doctors’ handwriting skills. D. To promote the use of handwritten records. 13. What can we learn from Mueller and Oppenheimer’s research? A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding. B. Note-taking blocks verbatim comprehension. C. Keyboarding ensures higher learning efficiency. D. Handwriting benefits deeper cognitive engagement. 14. What is the cost of abandoning handwriting? A. The pollution of a traditional culture. B. The decline in communication efficiency. C. The over-reliance on modern technologies. D. The fading of an essential cognitive ability. 15. What does the author suggest we do? A. Preserve handwriting as a tradition. B. Value the crucial role of handwriting. C. Encourage keyboard use in education. D. Introduce handwriting courses widely. 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。 Singapore has no natural freshwater resources and has been ranked among the most water-stressed countries in the world. ____16____ Thus, after gaining independence in 1965, Singapore realized that it had to take its water future into its own hands and developed a comprehensive water management plan.

But my thoughts kept wandering back to my hometown in Peru, where blueberry bushes carpeted the hills, a sea of blue drawing tourists to take pictures.

Full of hope, I set up a tiny stall (摊位) at the local market the following weekend. Yet reality hit hard. In the burning sun, people walked by without a look. By sunset, I’d only sold three jars, tired and discouraged. Just then my elderly neighbor Evo came over and said, “Young man, use what you’ve learned in college.” His words woke me up.
