These races are held in urban centers as well as in areas of cultural and natural significance.(亚洲在不同国家和地区举办各种各样的马拉松赛事，这些赛事既有在城市中心举办的，也有在具有文化和自然意义的地区举办的)”，表格列出了四场马拉松的具体信息，最后给出参赛注意事项，可知本文旨在提供亚洲马拉松的相关信息。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据表格信息，demanding routes对应表格中“Rolling(起伏的)”或“Hilly(多山的)”，shortest race指最短距离赛事(5km)。对比四场马拉松：The Great Wall of China Marathon 有5km项目且赛道为Rolling(起伏的)，Almaty Marathon、Cappadocia Marathon Turkey 无5km项目，Songkhla Marathon 5km项目赛道为Flat(平坦的)，符合“最短赛事+更具挑战性赛道”的是The Great Wall of China Marathon。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Things To Think About中“Make sure that you are making accommodations through reputable sites for travel.(确保你通过信誉良好的旅游网站预订住宿)”可知，建议参赛者在参赛前从可信的网站预订酒店。故选A。 B “I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 4. Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A. To discuss a novel. B. To submit a book report. C. To argue for a writer. D. To ask for a reading list. 5. What did the author realize after seeing Prof. Gracie? A. Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B. Readers are often carried away by characters. C. Each type of literature has its unique ending. D. A story which begins well will end well. 6. What is expected of a good ending? A. It is usually positive. B. It satisfies readers’ taste. C. It is open for imagination. D. It fits with the story development. 7. Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A. To recommend their new books. B. To stress the theme of this issue. C. To give examples of great novelists. D. To encourage writing for the magazine. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者和教授探讨小说结局的经历，探讨优秀故事结局的评判标准，并介绍杂志本期关于如何写好故事结局的相关内容。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. (“我不喜欢这个结局，”我对我最喜欢的大学教授说。)”以及“I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. (我刚读完乔治・艾略特的《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》，对这个结局感到很难过)”可知，作者去找Gracie教授是为了讨论一本小说。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. (从那以后，如果我想读一个注定圆满的结局，我会读爱情浪漫小说。如果我想要一个猜不到的结局，我会读悬疑小说。历史小说的结局，我大致能预料故事走向)”可知，作者在和教授交流后意识到每种文学类型都有着自己独特的结局。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. (你要写出出人意料但又不是凭空而来的结局，一个符合人物设定的结局)”可知，好的结局需要契合故事发展，符合人物本身。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques (这就是本期《作家文摘》旨在帮你学会为各类作品写出最好结局的原因。写短篇小说的话，Peter Mountford剖析了六种写作技巧)”以及“Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels (Elizabeth Sims分析了五部伟大小说的结尾章节)”可知，作者列举两个人的研究，用来强调本期杂志的核心主题：如何写好故事结局。 C Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dublin and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost. As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories. You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so? We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor. Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms? There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result. C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example. 9. What does the author agree in the passage? A. Dementia mainly results in lost memories. B. Forgetting means imperfection of the brain. C. It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me. D. The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary. 10. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Scientists think forgetting limits our life. B. Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting. C. People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition. D. Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting. C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了“遗忘”这一现象在生物学和心理学上的新理解和研究，指出遗忘并非完全是记忆的丧失，有时反而是大脑支持学习和适应环境的一种机制。文章通过神经科学家的研究和观点，解释了遗忘在日常生活和学习中的作用，以及不同类型的遗忘，旨在向读者传达关于遗忘的科学理解和新发现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. (事实上，遗忘有时可以帮助人们在心理上应对或放弃无用的知识。)”可知，作者先陈述这个研究结果，再讲述研究的具体内容，即作者通过展示研究结果介绍这篇文章的主题。故答案为B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor. (另一些知识不那么武断和任意，但仍然要求很高，比如你为成为执业医师而积累的知识)”可知，成为执业医师而积累的知识不是随意的，可推知成为一名教师所需的知识也不是随意的。故答案为D.。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting (越来越多的神经科学研究正在研究遗忘是适应性的，而不是限制性的。)”可知，神经科学家正在研究遗忘的适应性作用。答案为B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. (遗忘是许多人感到沮丧的生活事实。但是，越来越多的证据推翻了这样一种观点，即在我们的记忆中失误或逃逸显然是不好的。事实上，遗忘有时可以帮助人们在心理上应对或放弃无用的知识。)”和倒数第二段“Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. (虽然我们可能认为遗忘是一种麻烦，而且它经常是，但它可能是大脑的一种特征，而不是一种缺陷。越来越多的神经科学研究正在研究遗忘是适应性的，而不是限制性的。)”可知，人们对遗忘现象存在误解。遗忘是大脑的特征而不是缺陷，作者具体阐释和澄清了这一误解。故答案为D。 D Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 12. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats. C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age. 13. How does a pet cat assess different situations? A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects. C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats. 14. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. (动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如，几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音，它们依靠这些声音来寻求帮助，吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. (猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫，喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注意和被喂食。)”可知，猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. (猫有许多敏锐的感官，但它们的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境，寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知，宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit,  (狗以其令人印象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. (许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西，并把它们带给主人。)”可知，狗以取回东西而闻名，但猫可以从外边找到东西带回来，因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语take ... up a notch是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.( 动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。)”及全文可知，文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式，包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯，以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?

And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. ___18___. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations. ● ___19___. So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “___20___.” You’ll then gradually become more patient. A. Find your causes B. Start with small tasks C. Accept the uncomfortable D. All this adds up to a state of hurry E. It can also help us practice more patience F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. C 20.

(这里有一个谜语：交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处？答案只有一个)”可知，本句说明上文谜语的答案，结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下，我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处：研究表明，感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观)”以及后文““Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶丽说：“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知，上文提到了感恩的诸多好处，可知本句继续说明感恩的好处：它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看，或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知，后文列举的事情都是日常的小事，说明要从小事开始练习等待，故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知，本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知，本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关，C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态，可知，本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关，故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服，而不是无法忍受”符合语境，故选F。 【点睛】 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The doorbell rang one mid-December evening.

Always 23, regardless of topic or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it caused her concern. When Sumi stayed with her friends, their discussion nearly always turned to their children. You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname, Number 23. Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors, bought fancy stationery, even packed brain food. And Anna tried. She gave up sketching, paper cutouts, and many others. She moved from one class to another, endlessly trying. But then the indicators started showing-she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and sweated all the time. Eventually, she got terribly sick. That was when Sumi gave in. She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew. One day, Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families. During lunch, two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. Then Anna stepped in. “Let’s flip (抛) a coin,” she said. Simple as that. Boom-problem solved. Everyone was astonished. Later, on the journey back, they got delayed in traffic. The kids were getting restless. Anna? She started delivering jokes like a big sister. Even the adults laughed. Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants, lions, and birds. Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift. The other parents were shining with appreciation. For the first time in years, Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher: The teacher’s voice was filled with warmth as she said, “I’m just calling because I have some wonderful news about Anna.” She then explained that Anna had been selected for the Class Star award for her exceptional social skills and creative talents. Almost every kid voted for her. Sumi felt her eyes moisten as she listened, remembering all the times she had focused solely on academic rankings. “Anna was a genuinely remarkable child and I’m really proud of her,” the teacher added. Paragraph 2: That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand. She smiled brightly and told her mother, “I think my friends voted for me because they like my paper animals and jokes.” Sumi hugged her tightly and said, “You’re a beautiful angel, Anna. I didn’t realize my little girl was a real-life hero.” Looking at Anna’s happy face, Sumi now realized that every child has their own unique strengths that cannot be measured by grades alone. Being Number 23 didn’t define her daughter’s worth-it was simply one small part of the wonderful person she was becoming. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕Sumi和她的女儿Anna展开。Anna在学校考试成绩总是第23名，被称为“23 号”，这让Sumi担忧。Sumi为提高Anna成绩采取诸多措施，却导致Anna 生病。一次周末旅行中，Anna凭借出色社交和创造能力解决孩子们的问题，让Sumi感到骄傲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“没过多久，Sumi接到了Anna班主任的电话。”可知，第一段此段应描写老师打电话告知Sumi，Anna因出色社交技能和创造天赋被选为班级之星，几乎每个孩子都为她投票，老师也表达对Anna的认可，Sumi听后有所触动。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天下午，Anna回到家，手里拿着“班级之星”证书。”可知，第二段此段应描写Anna回家后与Sumi分享感受，Sumi夸赞并拥抱Anna，她意识到不能仅用成绩衡量孩子，“23 号”并非女儿价值的定义，而是她美好成长的一小部分。 2.续写线索：老师来电告知喜讯——孩子回家分享喜悦——母亲感悟孩子价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①选择：select/choose ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/recognize/become aware of 情绪类： ①自豪：be proud of/take pride in/feel honored about ①开心的：happy/joyful/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型 1] The teacher’s voice was filled with warmth as she said, “I’m just calling because I have some wonderful news about Anna.”（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和because引导的原因状语从句） [高分句型 2] Looking at Anna’s happy face, Sumi now realized that every child has their own unique strengths that cannot be measured by grades alone.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句以及 that 引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年第一学期高三阶段练习 英 语 本练习共11页。满分120分。作答时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．作答前，学生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的学校、姓名、试室号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．学生必须保持答题卡的整洁，作答结束后，将答题卡交回。 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 Asia offers a wide range of marathon events across different countries and regions.

It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 4. Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A. To discuss a novel. B. To submit a book report. C. To argue for a writer. D. To ask for a reading list. 5. What did the author realize after seeing Prof. Gracie? A. Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B. Readers are often carried away by characters. C. Each type of literature has its unique ending. D. A story which begins well will end well. 6. What is expected of a good ending? A. It is usually positive. B. It satisfies readers’ taste. C. It is open for imagination. D. It fits with the story development. 7. Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A. To recommend their new books. B. To stress the theme of this issue. C. To give examples of great novelists. D. To encourage writing for the magazine. C Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dublin and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost. As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories. You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so? We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor. Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms? There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result. C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example. 9. What does the author agree in the passage? A. Dementia mainly results in lost memories. B. Forgetting means imperfection of the brain. C. It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me. D. The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary. 10. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Scientists think forgetting limits our life. B. Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting. C. People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition. D. Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting. C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting. D Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 12. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats. C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age. 13. How does a pet cat assess different situations? A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects. C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats. 14. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?

Always 23, regardless of topic or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it caused her concern. When Sumi stayed with her friends, their discussion nearly always turned to their children. You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname, Number 23. Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors, bought fancy stationery, even packed brain food. And Anna tried. She gave up sketching, paper cutouts, and many others. She moved from one class to another, endlessly trying. But then the indicators started showing-she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and sweated all the time. Eventually, she got terribly sick. That was when Sumi gave in. She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew. One day, Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families. During lunch, two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. Then Anna stepped in. “Let’s flip (抛) a coin,” she said. Simple as that. Boom-problem solved. Everyone was astonished. Later, on the journey back, they got delayed in traffic. The kids were getting restless. Anna? She started delivering jokes like a big sister. Even the adults laughed. Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants, lions, and birds. Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift. The other parents were shining with appreciation. For the first time in years, Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
