Green Bridges These bridges are built over highways and covered with soil, grass, and native plants. They’re especially useful for large animals such as deer and bears, which generally prefer wide, open spaces. Beyond saving individual animals, green bridges also help ensure species survival. On Washington’s I-90, a major east-west highway, animals trying to move north-south are trapped between the highway and the Columbia River. This causes a risk of “localized extinction”. The overpasses reconnect these separated populations, allowing them to find each other and maintain healthy genetic diversity. Safe Underpasses These undercrossings run beneath roads and are often better for smaller or shyer animals. Black bears, for example, often prefer these darker, more covered passages. Even fish can use them when streams or wetlands are connected. On I-90, underpasses connecting wetlands to the Yakima River have allowed threatened bull trout (鳟鱼) to return to tributaries (支流) they hadn’t used in years. In this way, undercrossings not only help animals cross roads safely, but also reconnect waterways and habitats that were once blocked. Guiding Fences Fences are another key part of wildlife-crossing systems. In Wyoming, for example, fences direct migrating antelope toward overpasses instead of allowing them to step directly onto the highway. In Banff National Park, fences work together with crossings to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by up to 80 percent. Without fences, animals might still try to cross dangerous roads at the wrong places. 1. What problem can the green bridges on Washington’s I-90 solve for animals? A. Food shortage. B. Wrong direction. C. Loss of diversity. D. River separation. 2. How do underpasses help fish species at risk? A. By keeping threats away. B. By creating darker passages. C. By providing new habitats. D. By linking separated waterways. 3. What is the role of the fences in the wildlife-crossing system? A. Routes to open spaces. B. Guides to safe crossings. C. Barriers to animal migration. D. Borders to national parks. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了三种让道路对野生动物更安全的措施：生态桥、安全地下通道和引导围栏，以减少车撞动物事故并保护物种多样性。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This causes a risk of “localized extinction”. The overpasses reconnect these separated populations, allowing them to find each other and maintain healthy genetic diversity.(这导致了“局部灭绝”的风险。这些天桥重新连接了这些被分隔的种群，使它们能够找到彼此并维持健康的基因多样性)”可知，华盛顿I-90公路上的生态桥解决了动物因被公路和河流阻隔而面临的局部灭绝风险，避免了多样性的丧失。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even fish can use them when streams or wetlands are connected. On I-90, underpasses connecting wetlands to the Yakima River have allowed threatened bull trout to return to tributaries they hadn’t used in years.(当溪流或湿地被连接起来时，甚至连鱼类也可以使用它们。在I-90公路上，将湿地连接到亚基马河的地下通道使得受威胁的牛头鳟得以回到它们多年未用的支流)”可知，地下通道通过连接被分隔的水道来帮助濒危鱼类。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Wyoming, for example, fences direct migrating antelope toward overpasses instead of allowing them to step directly onto the highway. In Banff National Park, fences work together with crossings to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by up to 80 percent.(例如，在怀俄明州，围栏将迁徙的羚羊引导至天桥，而不是让它们直接走上公路。在班夫国家公园，围栏与通道协同工作，将车撞野生动物事故减少了多达80%)”可知，围栏在野生动物穿越系统中起到引导动物走向安全通道的作用。 B I was one of the men who couldn’t stop talking. Aware that the world feels unbearably loud, aware that I, too, often add to that noise, I decided to learn to keep my mouth shut. I often felt urged to point out others’ stupidity in their posts, as though I alone had noticed it. I posted commentary about Hamlet, as though my followers were desperate for my “original” takes. My social media timeline was full of such attempts to appear intelligent. So I removed all past posts and shared only writing links. At first I felt annoyed and anxious, but the feelings soon faded into embarrassment over my past actions. Talking less in real life proved tougher. If I encountered someone I sort of knew, I’d talk quickly to fill the silence. A friend told me embracing awkward silences builds trust between conversational partners. She advised me to let silence breathe. Suffering awkward silences was terrible at first, and is still hard now, but it’s gotten a little better with practice. Another problem of mine was conversational narcissism. When people open up about their problems, responses like “Wow, that happened to me once!” turn the conversation away from understanding. This shift response is biologically rewarding for the speaker, but uncomfortable for the listener. Now I follow the rule — when possible, say nothing and simply listen. True active listening demands full attention and comprehension — not the performative nods, mirrored questions and practiced body language. Though exhausting, I consciously practice during every conversation. Not talking at work proved easier. After analyzing how often and how long I spoke in meetings, I found I talked and interrupted too much. Now I apply Wait, which requires posing a question to yourself before speaking: “Why am I talking?” You can talk if the answer to Wait is convincing. Wait isn’t about silence, but about questioning whether you’re actually contributing or filling space. Now I never regret not posting. My urge to talk has decreased, the desire to interrupt has lessened, and my capacity to listen has grown. And the rest is silence. 4. Why did the author feel embarrassed about his past social media posts? A. He tried to impress others. B. He corrected others’ errors. C. He knew little about Hamlet. D. He overshared his private life. 5. What does the underlined phrase “conversational narcissism” mean in paragraph 4? A. Topic avoidance. B. Self-centered talk. C. Emotion-sharing. D. Constant interruption. 6. How did the author change his over-talking habit at work? A. By shortening responses. B. By reducing interruptions. C. By using the Wait method. D. By filling awkward silences. 7. What could be the suitable title of the passage? A. The Power of Listening Well. B. The Courage to Break Silence. C. The Wisdom of Saying Less. D. The Secret to Better Speaking. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者反思自己爱说话、爱发帖的毛病，通过在社交平台删帖、练习忍受沉默、学会倾听以及工作中使用“Wait”法则，最终学会少说多听，获得内心平静的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I posted commentary about Hamlet, as though my followers were desperate for my “original” takes. My social media timeline was full of such attempts to appear intelligent. So I removed all past posts and shared only writing links. At first I felt annoyed and anxious, but the feelings soon faded into embarrassment over my past actions.(我发了一些关于《哈姆雷特》的评论，好像我的粉丝们迫切想要看到我“原创”的见解。我的社交媒体时间线上满是这种试图显得聪明的举动。所以我删除了所有过去的帖子，只分享写作链接。起初我感到恼火和焦虑，但这些感觉很快就变成了对自己过去行为的尴尬)”可知，作者过去在社交媒体上发帖是为了显得聪明、给人留下深刻印象，后来意识到这一点后感到尴尬。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“When people open up about their problems, responses like “Wow, that happened to me once!” turn the conversation away from understanding. This shift response is biologically rewarding for the speaker, but uncomfortable for the listener.(当人们敞开心扉谈论他们的问题时，像“哇，我也有过一次这样的经历！”这样的回应会把对话从理解对方转向自己。这种转移式回应从生理上对说话者是有回报的，但对倾听者来说是不舒服的)”可知，这种回应方式将话题转向自己，以自我为中心，因此“conversational narcissism”意为“自我中心的谈话”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Not talking at work proved easier. After analyzing how often and how long I spoke in meetings, I found I talked and interrupted too much. Now I apply Wait, which requires posing a question to yourself before speaking: “Why am I talking?” You can talk if the answer to Wait is convincing.(在工作中少说话反而更容易。在分析了自己在会议中发言的频率和时长后，我发现我说得太多，打断别人也太多。现在我运用“Wait”法则，它要求你在说话之前问自己一个问题：“我为什么要说话？” 如果“Wait”的答案是有说服力的，你就可以说)”可知，作者在工作中通过使用Wait方法来改变自己说话过多的习惯。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章从作者决定学会闭嘴开始，依次讲述了在社交媒体上减少发帖、在现实生活中练习忍受沉默、克服对话中的自恋倾向、在工作中使用Wait法则，最后总结“Now I never regret not posting. My urge to talk has decreased, the desire to interrupt has lessened, and my capacity to listen has grown. And the rest is silence.(现在我从不后悔没有发帖。我说话的冲动减少了，打断别人的欲望减弱了，而我倾听的能力增强了。其余的就是沉默)”可知，文章的核心主题是学会少说话、多倾听的智慧。C项“少说的智慧”能概括文章主旨，适合作最佳标题。 C Recently, a well-known US coffee chain’s new “Coffeehouse Code of Conduct” is making people buy something or leave, changing its previous laid-back attitude. Meanwhile, in Paris, traditional cafés are competing with trendy coffee shops, with locals complaining that American-style takeaway coffee is ruining the French tradition of taking their time. This has raised an important question: What are coffee shops really for? The answer has always been more than coffee. Seventeenth-century coffee houses offered a meeting space for revolutions. They were also, historically, a shelter. As French writer Beauvoir wrote, “During World War II, we spent whole days in the Café de Flore through the freezing winter and always had a shock of pleasure, emerging from the cold darkness, coming into this warm, bright place. We felt at home, safe.” That gets to the heart of what good cafés are: third places, the term coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg to describe spaces that are neither home nor work. These neutral spaces are also accessible and inclusive, allowing visitors to keep a low profile and providing room for conversation and playfulness. I cherish such places — at various points in my life, department stores, museums, and stations have been vital third places to me, even if not all fit the “playful” criterion. However, many third places are disappearing due to economic difficulties. The Internet has become our third space but it can’t be everything a third place is: safety when home isn’t a shelter and a breath of air for anyone who just needs to be elsewhere. There is an amazing third place near me, York Community Stadium Complex, where there is a pool, a sports hall and a climbing wall, plus a library, a café and a drop-in support centre for people with cancer. Mostly, though, it’s a space to hang out unbothered, used by people of all ages. It’s welcoming, accessible, and, yes, even playful. With many shops closed in the UK, why not turn them into community centres, repair cafés, or meeting spots? It would be nice to chat about it somewhere — maybe over coffee, maybe not. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Coffee cultures are conflicting. B. French traditions are weakening. C. Takeaway habits are spreading. D. Café rules are becoming stricter. 9. Why does the author quote Beauvoir’s words? A. To recall wartime memories. B. To share a writer’s experience. C. To contrast cold with warmth. D. To show cafés’ comforting role. 10. Which could be a third place according to the passage? A. A school lecture hall. B. A city square. C. An office meeting room. D. A private online group. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards creating new third places? A. Pessimistic. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨咖啡馆作为“第三空间”的价值，指出实体公共空间不可被网络替代，并呼吁改造闲置商铺打造社区公共活动场所。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, a well-known US coffee chain’s new “Coffeehouse Code of Conduct” is making people buy something or leave, changing its previous laid-back attitude. Meanwhile, in Paris, traditional cafés are competing with trendy coffee shops, with locals complaining that American-style takeaway coffee is ruining the French tradition of taking their time.(最近，美国一家知名咖啡连锁品牌出台了全新的《咖啡馆行为准则》，要求顾客要么消费，要么离开，一改往日宽松随意的经营态度。与此同时，在巴黎，传统咖啡馆正和新潮咖啡店激烈竞争。当地居民抱怨，美式外带咖啡正在破坏法国人从容消磨时光的传统。)”可知，作者在第一段中指出的现象是咖啡文化相互冲突。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“They were also, historically, a shelter.(从历史角度看，它们也曾是庇护之所。)”和“During World War II, we spent whole days in the Café de Flore through the freezing winter and always had a shock of pleasure, emerging from the cold darkness, coming into this warm, bright place. We felt at home, safe.(二战期间，在凛冽的寒冬，我们整日待在花神咖啡馆。从阴冷黑暗的室外走进这个温暖明亮的地方，心中总会涌起一阵欣喜。我们在这里无拘无束，倍感安心。)”可知，作者引用Beauvoir的话是为了展示咖啡馆的慰藉作用。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“That gets to the heart of what good cafés are: third places, the term coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg to describe spaces that are neither home nor work. These neutral spaces are also accessible and inclusive, allowing visitors to keep a low profile and providing room for conversation and playfulness.(这道出了优质咖啡馆的核心：第三空间。社会学家雷・奥尔登堡创造了这个术语，用来指代既不属于家，也不属于工作岗位的场所。这些中立的公共空间对所有人开放、具有包容性，人们可以低调独处，也能够在此交谈、随性消遣。)”可知，城市广场可能是一个第三空间。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Mostly, though, it’s a space to hang out unbothered, used by people of all ages. It’s welcoming, accessible, and, yes, even playful.(但最重要的是，这里是一处可以不受打扰地休闲逗留的地方，各个年龄段的人都会前来。它友善包容、人人可达，没错，也充满生活趣味。)”和最后一段“With many shops closed in the UK, why not turn them into community centres, repair cafés, or meeting spots? It would be nice to chat about it somewhere — maybe over coffee, maybe not.(英国有大量商铺关门闲置，何不把它们改造成社区活动中心、维修咖啡馆或是聚会据点？要是能找个地方聊聊这件事就再好不过了 —— 或许配一杯咖啡，或许不必。)”可知，作者对创造新的第三空间持支持的态度。 D A team of researchers from the University of Exeter and UCL conducted an experiment to compare the creative effects of writing stories without AI assistance with those using generative AI tools. Researchers tasked 300 participants to write an eight-sentence story for young adults. They were assigned to three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use a generative AI tool to provide a single three-sentence starting idea and third-group writers could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration. 600 people were invited to assess the stories’ novelty — whether the story did something new — and usefulness — how well the story engaged the target audience and whether it had potential for publication. The researchers found writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for usefulness compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI-generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable and less boring. The writers’ inherent (固有的) creativity was also evaluated by a Divergent Association Task. Interestingly, more creative writers benefited least from generative AI ideas. By contrast, less creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. These improvements effectively equalized creativity across the less and more creative writers. The researchers also used an API to calculate how similar the stories were and found a 10.7% increase in similarity between writers whose stories used one AI-inspired idea, compared with the no-AI group. Oliver Hauser, Professor at the University of Exeter Business School, said, “Our results provide insight into how generative AI affects human creativity.” However, he cautioned, “If generative AI is widely adopted for creative tasks, individual stories may become more creative while collective novelty will be further reduced.” 12. How were the 300 participants divided in the study? A. By writing experience and skills. B. By their scores on a creativity test. C. By the quality of stories they wrote. D. By the number of AI ideas available. 13. What effect did AI have on the stories? A. It increased novelty and usefulness. B. It added more ideas and details. C. It improved enjoyment over quality. D. It expanded length and complexity. 14. Why was the participants’ inherent creativity measured? A. To test AI’s reliability. B. To evaluate the story quality. C. To compare their AI gains. D. To assess the generated ideas. 15. What did Hauser say about the use of AI in creative writing? A. It highlights AI’s creative potential. B. It benefits less creative writers most. C. It boosts individuals but reduces diversity. D. It enhances readability but harms creativity. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了研究表明生成式AI能提升个人写作的创造力和实用性，但会减少故事间的多样性，对低创造力者帮助更大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They were assigned to three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use a generative AI tool to provide a single three-sentence starting idea and third-group writers could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration.(他们被分为三组：一组不允许使用AI帮助，第二组可以使用生成式AI工具提供一个三句话的开头想法，第三组作者可以从多达五个AI生成的想法中选择作为灵感)”可知，300名参与者是根据可获得的AI想法的数量来划分的。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers found writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for usefulness compared with stories written without AI.(研究人员发现，使用AI最多的作者在创造力上获益最大，与没有使用AI写的故事相比，他们的故事在新颖性上高出8.1%，在实用性上高出9%)”可知，AI提高了故事的新颖性和实用性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The writers’ inherent (固有的) creativity was also evaluated by a Divergent Association Task. Interestingly, more creative writers benefited least from generative AI ideas. By contrast, less creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas.(作者的固有创造力也通过“发散联想任务”进行了评估。有趣的是，越有创造力的作者从生成式AI想法中获益最少。相比之下，创造力较低的作者创造力提升更大：与未使用AI想法的作者相比，获得五个AI想法使新颖性提高了10.7%，实用性提高了11.5%)”可知，测量参与者的固有创造力是为了比较他们从AI中获得的收益差异。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, he cautioned, “If generative AI is widely adopted for creative tasks, individual stories may become more creative while collective novelty will be further reduced.”(然而，他警告说：“如果生成式AI被广泛用于创造性任务，个体故事可能变得更有创意，而集体新颖性将进一步减少。”)”可知，Hauser认为AI在创意写作中的使用能提升个人创造力，但会减少整体的多样性。 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。 People often think procrastination (拖延) is simply laziness or poor time management. Imagine this: You sit down to write an essay, stare at a blank page, and begin to think, “I’m not good enough for this. I don’t know where to begin. What if I fail?” Instead of writing, you open a social media app. This behavior is not laziness; it’s a way to regulate the anxiety around the task. ____16____ When we procrastinate, we are aware not only that we are avoiding the task, but also that doing so is probably a bad idea. Yet we do it anyway. Why? Because putting off the task gives us momentary relief from negative feelings, such as panic and self-doubt. ____17____ It makes us more likely to procrastinate the next time. ____18____ Although avoiding the task makes us feel better for a moment, it does not solve the real problem. When we return to the task, the same feelings are waiting, often with more stress and self-blame. As this pattern repeats itself, procrastination gradually becomes a habit rather than a one-time choice. Over time, the habit has measurably destructive effects on our mental and physical health. ____19____ It may also increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in the long run. What are healthy ways to manage the emotions that typically lead to procrastination? One way is to view the task from a positive perspective. Think about the good result of completing it, or remind yourself of a similar task that turned out well. ____20____ For example, delete distracting apps from your phone or use a long, difficult password. By making the easy escape less immediate, you give yourself a better chance to begin. A. That relief, however, is only short-lived. B. This pattern may involve different feelings. C. Our brain treats that brief relief as a reward. D. The task seems less pleasant for the moment. E. It fuels persistent stress, anxiety, and even depression. F. So procrastination is often about emotional management. G. Additionally, making distractions less convenient can be effective. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了拖延并非懒惰，而是情绪调节；逃避带来短暂缓解却被大脑当作奖励，形成损害身心健康的习惯，积极重构和减少干扰可帮助应对。 【16题详解】 上文“This behavior is not laziness; it’s a way to regulate the anxiety around the task.(这种行为不是懒惰；它是一种调节任务带来的焦虑的方式)”说明拖延行为本质上是调节任务引发的焦虑，而非懒惰。F项“所以拖延通常与情绪管理有关。”符合语境。F项中的“emotional management”与上文中的“regulate the anxiety”相呼应。 【17题详解】 上文“Because putting off the task gives us momentary relief from negative feelings, such as panic and self-doubt.(因为推迟任务能让我们从恐慌和自我怀疑等负面情绪中获得暂时的解脱)”说明拖延能带来从负面情绪中的短暂解脱。空处和前文为递进关系，说明大脑如何加工这种解脱，从而强化拖延行为。所以C项“我们的大脑将那种短暂的解脱当作奖励。”符合语境。C项中的“that brief relief”与上文中的“momentary relief”相呼应，且C项内容正是后文“It makes us more likely to procrastinate the next time.(这使我们下次更有可能拖延)”中It所指代的内容。 【18题详解】 下文“Although avoiding the task makes us feel better for a moment, it does not solve the real problem.(虽然逃避任务能让我们暂时感觉好些，但这并不能解决真正的问题)”说明逃避只能带来短暂的好转，无法解决真正的问题。空处位于段首，为段落主题句，说明需要先点明“这种缓解是短暂的”这一主旨。所以A项“然而，那种解脱只是短暂的。”符合语境。A项中的“That relief”与上文中的“momentary relief”相呼应，“only short-lived”与下文中的“for a moment”和“does not solve the real problem”相呼应。 【19题详解】 上文“Over time, the habit has measurably destructive effects on our mental and physical health.(随着时间的推移，这种习惯对我们的心理和身体健康产生可衡量的破坏性影响)”说明拖延习惯对心理和身体健康均有破坏性影响。空后“It may also increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in the long run.(从长远来看，它还可能增加高血压和心脏病的风险)”说明它还可能增加高血压和心脏病的风险，属于身体健康层面。空处和后文为并列递进关系，说明此处应先阐述心理健康方面的具体危害，与后文also引出的生理危害形成对应。所以E项“它加剧持续的压力、焦虑甚至抑郁。”符合语境。E项中的It指代上文中的“the habit”，“stress, anxiety, and even depression”与上文中的“mental and physical health”相呼应。 【20题详解】 上文“One way is to view the task from a positive perspective. Think about the good result of completing it, or remind yourself of a similar task that turned out well.(一种方法是从积极的角度看待任务。想想完成任务后的好结果，或者提醒自己一个类似的任务结果很好)”提出了第一种应对拖延的方法：从积极角度看待任务。空后“For example, delete distracting apps from your phone or use a long, difficult password.(例如，从手机中删除让人分心的应用程序，或者设置一个很长、很难的密码)”举例说明如何让逃避变得不那么容易。空处和前文为并列递进关系，说明此处应提出第二种方法，且能统领后文的举例。所以G项“此外，让使人分心的事物变得不那么便利是有效的。”符合语境。G项中的“making distractions less convenient”与下文中的“By making the easy escape less immediate”相呼应，Additionally与上文中的One way构成方法上的并列。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At 21, I was living in a new city and feeling a bit lost in life. The only thing I had going for me was playing my flute (长笛). I had ____21____ for two years to buy it while earning $2.35 an hour at the supermarket as a teenager, and playing it daily helped me process my ____22____. I would pour my confusion and loneliness into the music. One day at work, I suddenly ____23____ I had left my precious flute on the train. I raced to the station to ask if it had been ____24____. It hadn’t, but I left my phone number in case it turned up. Without my name on the case, I ____25____ it was gone forever and spent the following week feeling totally ____26____. Then, one day, I got a(n) ____27____ from the station saying they had my flute. I ____28____ to the lost property office, but as I went to grab it, the guards asked for my ID. I didn’t have any on me. My only ID was an expired (过期的) passport, so they strictly ____29____ to let me get it back. ____30____, I asked, “What if I play you a tune?” I put the flute together and played a song. My strong feeling of ____31____ with something I thought I had lost forever came through in the music. I think the guards actually teared up a bit. “That is your flute,” they said, seeming quite awed. The guards made an ____32____ and let me take it home.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者年轻时丢失心爱的长笛后，因陌生拾获者和车站保安的善意失而复得的经历，作者由此感悟大城市并非冷漠，陌生人也能带来温暖，三十年来始终心怀感恩并传递善意。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：十几岁的时候，我在超市每小时赚2.35美元，存了两年钱才买下它，每天吹长笛帮我处理自己的情绪。A. saved存钱；B. waited等待；C. searched搜索，寻找；D. planned计划。根据下文“for two years to buy it while earning $2.35 an hour at the supermarket as a teenager”可知，作者当时薪水很低，攒了两年钱才买到长笛。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. thoughts想法，思想；B. emotions情绪，情感；C. tasks任务；D. memories记忆。根据下文“I would pour my confusion and loneliness into the music.”可知，作者把困惑和孤独都投入到音乐中，说明吹长笛帮助作者处理情绪。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：一天上班的时候，我突然意识到我把珍贵的长笛落在火车上了。A. suspected怀疑；B. learned学习，得知；C. realized意识到；D. discovered发现。根据上文“One day at work”和下文“I had left my precious flute on the train”可知，作者正在上班，突然想起自己把长笛落在了火车上，是突然意识到这件事。 【24题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我冲到火车站，问有没有人上交。A. taken away拿走，带走；B. picked up捡起，接人；C. given back归还；D. handed in上交，提交。根据上文“I raced to the station to ask if it had been”和第三段中“the lost property office”可知，作者来到火车站的失物招领处，询问工作人员长笛是否已经被捡到上交。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：盒上没有我的名字，我认为它永远找不回来了，接下来的一周我都非常难过。A. assumed假定，认为；B. expected期待，预期；C. imagined想象；D. doubted怀疑。根据上文“Without my name on the case”和下文“it was gone forever and spent the following week feeling totally ________”可知，因为盒上没有名字，作者主观认定长笛再也找不回来了，心情很沮丧。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. impatient不耐烦的；B. exhausted疲惫的；C. upset沮丧的，难过的；D. ashamed羞愧的。根据上文“my precious flute”和“it was gone forever”可知，作者丢失心爱物品后心情沮丧。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：后来，有一天，我接到火车站打来的电话，说他们找到了我的长笛。A. email电子邮件；B. letter信件；C. notice通知；D. call电话。根据第二段中“I left my phone number in case it turned up”可知，作者留下了电话号码，因此车站打电话通知作者。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：我冲到失物招领处，但是当我要拿走长笛的时候，保安要求我出示身份证。A. walked走路，步行；B. reported报告，报道；C. returned返回；D. rushed冲，急匆匆地去。根据上文“I got a(n) ________ from the station saying they had my flute”可知，作者得知长笛找到后非常急切，所以急匆匆赶往失物招领处。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：我唯一的身份证是过期的护照，所以他们坚决拒绝让我把长笛拿走。A. refused拒绝；B. failed失败，未能；C. hesitated犹豫；D. neglected忽视，忽略。根据上文“the guards asked for my ID. I didn’t have any on me”和“strictly”可知，因为作者不能出示有效的身份证件，所以保安严格按照规定拒绝归还失物。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：走投无路的我问道：“如果我给你们吹一段曲子呢？”A. Embarrassed尴尬的；B. Desperate绝望的，走投无路的；C. Annoyed恼怒的；D. Nervous紧张的。根据第三段中“I didn’t have any on me. My only ID was an expired (过期的) passport, so they strictly ________ to let me get it back.”可知，作者无法按照规定证明长笛是自己的，情急之下想到了用演奏证明的方法，是处于走投无路的境地。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：我和我以为已经永远失去的东西重聚的强烈情感在音乐中体现了出来。A. parting分离，离别；B. reuniting重聚，团聚；C. connecting连接，联系；D. staying停留，保持。根据下文“with something I thought I had lost forever”可知，作者丢失长笛后再次找回，是和失物重新团聚的情感。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：保安破例让我把长笛带回家。A. exception例外；B. excuse借口；C. apology道歉；D. effort努力。根据最后一段中“bent the rules for me”可知，保安变通规则给作者放行，也就是破例。固定搭配make an exception表示“破例”。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：那天我经历了两次善意的举动——第一次是归还我长笛的陌生人，然后是为我变通规则的保安。A. support支持；B. honesty诚实；C. kindness善意，善良；D. devotion奉献。根据下文“first from the stranger who returned my flute, then from the guards who bent the rules for me”可知，陌生人归还失物、保安破例都是对作者的善意举动。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：很多人认为大城市是冷漠的地方，但是我知道陌生人也能非常关心人。A. stressful有压力的；B. cold冷漠的，寒冷的；C. dull枯燥的；D. crowded拥挤的。转折连词but说明此处和下文“incredibly caring”形成对比，人们通常认为大城市是冷漠的。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：三十年过去了，我永远心怀感激，并且总是尝试归还失物。A. hopeful有希望的；B. touched感动的；C. grateful感激的；D. blessed有福的。根据上文“I experienced two acts of ________ that day — first from the stranger who returned my flute, then from the guards who bent the rules for me.”可知，作者经历了陌生人的善意，所以始终对这件事心怀感激，并且将善意传递下去。 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。 Fujian Tulou is a type of Chinese rural housing used by the Hakka people in the mountainous areas of Fujian Province. The buildings reflect the Chinese architectural tradition of being “closed outside, open inside”: a walled residential structure with ____36____ common yard in the center. Since the inclusion of Fujian Tulou in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008, Guanyang Village in Zhangzhou City ____37____ (take) innovative measures to conserve its cultural heritage. By remodeling inner spaces of these ancient buildings and ____38____ (introduce) public spaces that encourage community gathering, the village has found new ways to keep its traditions alive. Also, new travel ____39____ (experience), such as Tulou homestays and farm-to-table dining, have met the growing demand for cultural encounters. The rise in tourism has brought new life to the village, turning around the trend of an aging population. Young residents are returning in ____40____ (steady) growing numbers to start businesses, contributing to a ____41____ (share) vision of prosperity. According to Zhang Haitao, head of the county’s department of culture, sports and tourism, the average annual income here had grown to three times its previous level by 2023. “Our aim is ____42____ (make) Guanyang Village a model for rural development,” Zhang added, describing a future countryside ____43____ the environment is preserved, culture thrives and community life prospers. The journey of the village from a historical settlement to a global tourism treasure has provided a blueprint ____44____ rural communities worldwide, showing that heritage and innovation can go hand in hand and bring _____45_____ (sustain) benefits to local communities. 【答案】36. a 37. has taken##has been taking 38. introducing 39. experiences 40. steadily 41. shared 42. to make 43. where 44. for 45. sustainable 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕福建漳州官洋村保护福建土楼文化遗产、融合创新发展乡村旅游的实践展开，既介绍了福建土楼的建筑特征，也展现了文化遗产保护与乡村振兴结合的成功经验。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这些建筑体现了中国“外封闭，内开放”的建筑传统：一个带围墙的住宅结构，中央有一个公共庭院。此处泛指“一个公共庭院”，common是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此用不定冠词a修饰。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：自2008年福建土楼被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录以来，漳州市官洋村一直采取创新措施保护其文化遗产。根据句中“Since the inclusion of Fujian Tulou in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008”可知，这里表示过去的动作持续到现在，并且还可能继续进行下去，用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。句子主语Guanyang Village是单数概念，因此助动词用has。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过改造这些古建筑的内部空间，并引入鼓励社区聚集的公共空间，该村找到了保持传统活力的新方法。介词By后接两个并列的动名词作宾语，remodeling是动名词形式，因此introduce也要用动名词形式introducing。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：此外，新的旅游体验，比如土楼民宿和从农场到餐桌的餐饮，满足了人们日益增长的文化体验需求。根据句中举例的“Tulou homestays and farm-to-table dining”可知，此处指多种不同的旅游体验，experience表示“经历，体验”时是可数名词，因此用复数形式experiences，同时根据谓语动词have也可判断主语要用复数形式。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：年轻居民以稳定增长的数量返乡创业，为共同的繁荣愿景做出了贡献。此处修饰现在分词growing，需要用副词形式，steady是形容词“稳定的”，其副词形式为steadily。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：年轻居民以稳定增长的数量返乡创业，为共同的繁荣愿景做出了贡献。此处vision和share之间是被动关系，表示“被共同享有的愿景”，因此用过去分词shared作前置定语修饰vision。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“我们的目标是把官洋村打造成为乡村发展的典范，”张补充道，他描绘了这样一个未来乡村：环境得到保护，文化繁荣发展，社区生活兴旺。当主语是aim, purpose, goal等表示“目标；目的”的名词时，常用不定式作表语说明主语的具体内容，因此此处用动词不定式to make。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：“我们的目标是把官洋村打造成为乡村发展的典范，”张补充道，他描绘了这样一个未来乡村：环境得到保护，文化繁荣发展，社区生活兴旺。空处引导定语从句，此处先行词是a future countryside，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：这个村庄从历史聚落走向全球旅游瑰宝的历程，为世界各国乡村社区提供了蓝图，表明遗产保护和创新可以齐头并进，为当地社区带来可持续的收益。provide sth. for sb./sth.是固定搭配，表示“为……提供某物”。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这个村庄从历史聚落走向全球旅游瑰宝的历程，为世界各国乡村社区提供了蓝图，表明遗产保护和创新可以齐头并进，为当地社区带来可持续的收益。此处修饰名词benefits，需要用形容词形式，sustain是动词“维持”，其形容词形式sustainable表示“可持续的”。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华。你的英国朋友Alex正在开展一项关于各国中学英语教材的调查，希望了解你当前所用英语教材中某一单元的基本设计。请你给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1．单元主题及主要学习版块； 2．学习收获。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alex, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Alex, Knowing that you are conducting a survey on middle school English textbooks, I’m glad to introduce one unit of our textbook to you.

For years pretending everything was fine had become my way of surviving. I had struggled with depression for much of my adult life. Whenever I felt anxious, disappointed or overwhelmed, I chose silence. I rarely shared my feelings with anyone, believing that keeping them to myself would protect the people I loved. Instead, my silence slowly pushed them away. My wife often complained that I never told her what was wrong. My children thought I had lost interest in family life. Even close friends found it difficult to understand me. The less I spoke, the more misunderstood I became. One evening, after I had once again refused to join a family gathering, my friend Mark came to see me and suggested something completely unexpected. “Why don’t you try a stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) class for beginners?” I laughed. “Me? I can barely hold an ordinary conversation.” “I’m serious,” he replied. “You don’t need to become funny. Just stop hiding.” His words stayed with me for days. The idea sounded ridiculous (荒谬的). I imagined standing in front of strangers trying to make them laugh. Yet another part of me wondered whether Mark had seen something I couldn’t see myself. A week later, I found myself sitting quietly in Andre’s class. Instead of teaching us jokes, Andre encouraged us to tell a simple story about ourselves. One by one, people spoke honestly about embarrassing mistakes, painful memories and everyday struggles. Strangely, every story ended with laughter, as if sharing the pain had made it lighter. I just sat there, letting every opportunity pass. Over the following weeks, as I listened to more and more of these stories, I discovered that however dark the material, there’s always a humorous angle. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请在答题卡上按照以下格式作答。 By the third week, when Andre’s eyes landed on me, I knew there was nowhere left to hide. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, those changes began to reach beyond the comedy class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 By the third week, when Andre’s eyes landed on me, I knew there was nowhere left to hide. I took a deep breath and spoke out my real thoughts. I told a story about how I had been hiding my feelings from my family and friends, and how I had been feeling upset for years. My voice was shaking at first, but as I kept going, I felt more relaxed. When I finished, the class burst into laughter, and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. For the first time, I felt seen and understood. Gradually, those changes began to reach beyond the comedy class. I started to open up to my family more often, and I didn’t avoid their questions about my feelings anymore. I even took the initiative to talk to my children about my struggles. My wife and children were so happy that they didn’t feel like they were let down by me anymore. I also started to make more friends, and I found that sharing my feelings made me closer to the people I loved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者长期患有抑郁，习惯伪装一切安好，总是把情绪埋藏心底，这使得家人、朋友渐渐疏远他。在好友Mark的建议下，作者参加了单口喜剧课。在课堂上，学员们真诚分享自己的故事，这让作者意识到再沉重的心事也可以幽默地表达出来。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者鼓起勇气在班上讲述自己多年压抑情绪的经历。一开始声音颤抖，但讲完之后全班大笑，作者如释重负，第一次感到自己被理解。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者把课堂上的改变带到生活之中：主动向家人敞开心扉，和孩子聊自己的烦恼。家人十分欣慰，作者也交到更多朋友，明白了分享情感能够拉近和所爱之人的距离。 2. 续写线索： 犹豫紧张→鼓起发言→倾诉心事→如释重负→改变生活→收获亲密 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 颤抖：shake/tremble ② 结束：finish/conclude 情绪类 ① 不安的：upset/anxious ② 高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】I told a story about how I had been hiding my feelings from my family and friends, and how I had been feeling upset for years.(运用了how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】My wife and children were so happy that they didn’t feel like they were let down by me anymore.(运用了so...that...引导的结果状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 巴中市普通高中2024级“零诊”考试 英语试题 (满分150分 120分钟完卷) 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考号填写在答题卡规定的位置。 2．答选择题时请使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题答题时必须用0.5毫米黑色墨迹签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置，在规定的答题区域以外答题无效，在试题卷上答题无效。 3．考试结束后，考生将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30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.

Green Bridges These bridges are built over highways and covered with soil, grass, and native plants. They’re especially useful for large animals such as deer and bears, which generally prefer wide, open spaces. Beyond saving individual animals, green bridges also help ensure species survival. On Washington’s I-90, a major east-west highway, animals trying to move north-south are trapped between the highway and the Columbia River. This causes a risk of “localized extinction”. The overpasses reconnect these separated populations, allowing them to find each other and maintain healthy genetic diversity. Safe Underpasses These undercrossings run beneath roads and are often better for smaller or shyer animals. Black bears, for example, often prefer these darker, more covered passages. Even fish can use them when streams or wetlands are connected. On I-90, underpasses connecting wetlands to the Yakima River have allowed threatened bull trout (鳟鱼) to return to tributaries (支流) they hadn’t used in years. In this way, undercrossings not only help animals cross roads safely, but also reconnect waterways and habitats that were once blocked. Guiding Fences Fences are another key part of wildlife-crossing systems. In Wyoming, for example, fences direct migrating antelope toward overpasses instead of allowing them to step directly onto the highway. In Banff National Park, fences work together with crossings to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by up to 80 percent. Without fences, animals might still try to cross dangerous roads at the wrong places. 1. What problem can the green bridges on Washington’s I-90 solve for animals? A. Food shortage. B. Wrong direction. C. Loss of diversity. D. River separation. 2. How do underpasses help fish species at risk? A. By keeping threats away. B. By creating darker passages. C. By providing new habitats. D. By linking separated waterways. 3. What is the role of the fences in the wildlife-crossing system? A. Routes to open spaces. B. Guides to safe crossings. C. Barriers to animal migration. D. Borders to national parks. B I was one of the men who couldn’t stop talking. Aware that the world feels unbearably loud, aware that I, too, often add to that noise, I decided to learn to keep my mouth shut. I often felt urged to point out others’ stupidity in their posts, as though I alone had noticed it. I posted commentary about Hamlet, as though my followers were desperate for my “original” takes. My social media timeline was full of such attempts to appear intelligent. So I removed all past posts and shared only writing links. At first I felt annoyed and anxious, but the feelings soon faded into embarrassment over my past actions. Talking less in real life proved tougher. If I encountered someone I sort of knew, I’d talk quickly to fill the silence. A friend told me embracing awkward silences builds trust between conversational partners. She advised me to let silence breathe. Suffering awkward silences was terrible at first, and is still hard now, but it’s gotten a little better with practice. Another problem of mine was conversational narcissism. When people open up about their problems, responses like “Wow, that happened to me once!” turn the conversation away from understanding. This shift response is biologically rewarding for the speaker, but uncomfortable for the listener. Now I follow the rule — when possible, say nothing and simply listen. True active listening demands full attention and comprehension — not the performative nods, mirrored questions and practiced body language. Though exhausting, I consciously practice during every conversation. Not talking at work proved easier. After analyzing how often and how long I spoke in meetings, I found I talked and interrupted too much. Now I apply Wait, which requires posing a question to yourself before speaking: “Why am I talking?” You can talk if the answer to Wait is convincing. Wait isn’t about silence, but about questioning whether you’re actually contributing or filling space. Now I never regret not posting. My urge to talk has decreased, the desire to interrupt has lessened, and my capacity to listen has grown. And the rest is silence. 4. Why did the author feel embarrassed about his past social media posts? A. He tried to impress others. B. He corrected others’ errors. C. He knew little about Hamlet. D. He overshared his private life. 5. What does the underlined phrase “conversational narcissism” mean in paragraph 4? A. Topic avoidance. B. Self-centered talk. C. Emotion-sharing. D. Constant interruption. 6. How did the author change his over-talking habit at work? A. By shortening responses. B. By reducing interruptions. C. By using the Wait method. D. By filling awkward silences. 7. What could be the suitable title of the passage? A. The Power of Listening Well. B. The Courage to Break Silence. C. The Wisdom of Saying Less. D. The Secret to Better Speaking. C Recently, a well-known US coffee chain’s new “Coffeehouse Code of Conduct” is making people buy something or leave, changing its previous laid-back attitude. Meanwhile, in Paris, traditional cafés are competing with trendy coffee shops, with locals complaining that American-style takeaway coffee is ruining the French tradition of taking their time. This has raised an important question: What are coffee shops really for? The answer has always been more than coffee. Seventeenth-century coffee houses offered a meeting space for revolutions. They were also, historically, a shelter. As French writer Beauvoir wrote, “During World War II, we spent whole days in the Café de Flore through the freezing winter and always had a shock of pleasure, emerging from the cold darkness, coming into this warm, bright place. We felt at home, safe.” That gets to the heart of what good cafés are: third places, the term coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg to describe spaces that are neither home nor work. These neutral spaces are also accessible and inclusive, allowing visitors to keep a low profile and providing room for conversation and playfulness. I cherish such places — at various points in my life, department stores, museums, and stations have been vital third places to me, even if not all fit the “playful” criterion. However, many third places are disappearing due to economic difficulties. The Internet has become our third space but it can’t be everything a third place is: safety when home isn’t a shelter and a breath of air for anyone who just needs to be elsewhere. There is an amazing third place near me, York Community Stadium Complex, where there is a pool, a sports hall and a climbing wall, plus a library, a café and a drop-in support centre for people with cancer. Mostly, though, it’s a space to hang out unbothered, used by people of all ages. It’s welcoming, accessible, and, yes, even playful. With many shops closed in the UK, why not turn them into community centres, repair cafés, or meeting spots? It would be nice to chat about it somewhere — maybe over coffee, maybe not. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Coffee cultures are conflicting. B. French traditions are weakening. C. Takeaway habits are spreading. D. Café rules are becoming stricter. 9. Why does the author quote Beauvoir’s words? A. To recall wartime memories. B. To share a writer’s experience. C. To contrast cold with warmth. D. To show cafés’ comforting role. 10. Which could be a third place according to the passage? A. A school lecture hall. B. A city square. C. An office meeting room. D. A private online group. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards creating new third places? A. Pessimistic. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. D A team of researchers from the University of Exeter and UCL conducted an experiment to compare the creative effects of writing stories without AI assistance with those using generative AI tools. Researchers tasked 300 participants to write an eight-sentence story for young adults. They were assigned to three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use a generative AI tool to provide a single three-sentence starting idea and third-group writers could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration. 600 people were invited to assess the stories’ novelty — whether the story did something new — and usefulness — how well the story engaged the target audience and whether it had potential for publication. The researchers found writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for usefulness compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI-generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable and less boring. The writers’ inherent (固有的) creativity was also evaluated by a Divergent Association Task. Interestingly, more creative writers benefited least from generative AI ideas. By contrast, less creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. These improvements effectively equalized creativity across the less and more creative writers. The researchers also used an API to calculate how similar the stories were and found a 10.7% increase in similarity between writers whose stories used one AI-inspired idea, compared with the no-AI group. Oliver Hauser, Professor at the University of Exeter Business School, said, “Our results provide insight into how generative AI affects human creativity.” However, he cautioned, “If generative AI is widely adopted for creative tasks, individual stories may become more creative while collective novelty will be further reduced.” 12. How were the 300 participants divided in the study? A. By writing experience and skills. B. By their scores on a creativity test. C. By the quality of stories they wrote. D. By the number of AI ideas available. 13. What effect did AI have on the stories? A. It increased novelty and usefulness. B. It added more ideas and details. C. It improved enjoyment over quality. D. It expanded length and complexity. 14. Why was the participants’ inherent creativity measured? A. To test AI’s reliability. B. To evaluate the story quality. C. To compare their AI gains. D. To assess the generated ideas. 15. What did Hauser say about the use of AI in creative writing? A. It highlights AI’s creative potential. B. It benefits less creative writers most. C. It boosts individuals but reduces diversity. D. It enhances readability but harms creativity. 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。 People often think procrastination (拖延) is simply laziness or poor time management. Imagine this: You sit down to write an essay, stare at a blank page, and begin to think, “I’m not good enough for this. I don’t know where to begin. What if I fail?” Instead of writing, you open a social media app. This behavior is not laziness; it’s a way to regulate the anxiety around the task. ____16____ When we procrastinate, we are aware not only that we are avoiding the task, but also that doing so is probably a bad idea. Yet we do it anyway. Why? Because putting off the task gives us momentary relief from negative feelings, such as panic and self-doubt. ____17____ It makes us more likely to procrastinate the next time. ____18____ Although avoiding the task makes us feel better for a moment, it does not solve the real problem. When we return to the task, the same feelings are waiting, often with more stress and self-blame. As this pattern repeats itself, procrastination gradually becomes a habit rather than a one-time choice. Over time, the habit has measurably destructive effects on our mental and physical health. ____19____ It may also increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in the long run. What are healthy ways to manage the emotions that typically lead to procrastination? One way is to view the task from a positive perspective. Think about the good result of completing it, or remind yourself of a similar task that turned out well. ____20____ For example, delete distracting apps from your phone or use a long, difficult password. By making the easy escape less immediate, you give yourself a better chance to begin. A. That relief, however, is only short-lived. B. This pattern may involve different feelings. C. Our brain treats that brief relief as a reward. D. The task seems less pleasant for the moment. E. It fuels persistent stress, anxiety, and even depression. F. So procrastination is often about emotional management. G. Additionally, making distractions less convenient can be effective. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At 21, I was living in a new city and feeling a bit lost in life.

For years pretending everything was fine had become my way of surviving. I had struggled with depression for much of my adult life. Whenever I felt anxious, disappointed or overwhelmed, I chose silence. I rarely shared my feelings with anyone, believing that keeping them to myself would protect the people I loved. Instead, my silence slowly pushed them away. My wife often complained that I never told her what was wrong. My children thought I had lost interest in family life. Even close friends found it difficult to understand me. The less I spoke, the more misunderstood I became. One evening, after I had once again refused to join a family gathering, my friend Mark came to see me and suggested something completely unexpected. “Why don’t you try a stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) class for beginners?” I laughed. “Me? I can barely hold an ordinary conversation.” “I’m serious,” he replied. “You don’t need to become funny. Just stop hiding.” His words stayed with me for days. The idea sounded ridiculous (荒谬的). I imagined standing in front of strangers trying to make them laugh. Yet another part of me wondered whether Mark had seen something I couldn’t see myself. A week later, I found myself sitting quietly in Andre’s class. Instead of teaching us jokes, Andre encouraged us to tell a simple story about ourselves. One by one, people spoke honestly about embarrassing mistakes, painful memories and everyday struggles. Strangely, every story ended with laughter, as if sharing the pain had made it lighter. I just sat there, letting every opportunity pass. Over the following weeks, as I listened to more and more of these stories, I discovered that however dark the material, there’s always a humorous angle. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请在答题卡上按照以下格式作答。 By the third week, when Andre’s eyes landed on me, I knew there was nowhere left to hide. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, those changes began to reach beyond the comedy class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
