W: I will say, “My greatest weakness is that I am a perfectionist.” What do you think of this answer? M: This is a strategy of turning a strength into a weakness. We don’t recommend this because the answer sounds perfect, but it doesn’t feel honest. W: So what is a proper answer? M: I suggest structuring your answer according to the PAR model. The first step is to identify your problem. W: OK, what’s next? M: Then explain that you’ve taken necessary actions to overcome the problem. Interviewers want to see you have the ability to learn and grow. And the last step is to communicate the positive results your actions produced. W: Thank you for your valuable advice. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17．(1.5分)Why does the speaker take part in the event? A．To sell valuable goods. B．To promote his book.

As a professional life coach who has worked with some of the world’s richest and most famous people, I’m often asked what success “looks like”. It’s funny because they all expect me to say having fast cars, private planes, or expensive jewelry. But that’s not the answer I give them. Sure, if you’ve earned the sort of money that buys you a large house or a boat, it’s tempting (诱人的) to say that is the definition of success. But I disagree. To me, success is happiness. Even if you have enough money to buy a small country, if you’re not happy, you cannot claim to be a success. Success is waking up in the morning and being grateful for living another day; it’s being surrounded by people you love and by people who love you back. Success is being able to provide for your family, and being content with who you are as a person, regardless of social status, or money-making achievements. Would I like a big house and a large car? I guess so, but it wouldn’t guarantee me happiness. I’m happy to take questions now. I’m also happy to sign anyone’s book if they would like me to. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Here are some wonderful high school programs abroad.

I loved everything I saw along the path. Some parts were wide and smooth, but some were thin, steep and covered with wild plants. I slept in a small wooden house every night, and each day felt special. At Bliss Portage Hut, I sat on a quiet seat hidden away and enjoyed the woods. Sitting there, I knew few people could have a whole forest all to themselves. Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection. Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings. When I finished the whole walk, I got back my motorbike and felt both proud and sad at the same time. Going back to city life felt unreal, like those 15 days were just a nice dream. This path changed me a lot. It let me learn to value simple things and being free, and I would keep this thought forever after the trip. The days walking outside told me what things are really important in life. 24．(2.5分)What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead? A．He joined a package tour. B．He came across a wild beast. C．He covered 180 kilometers. D．He used various means of transportation. 25．(2.5分)What was the trip like according to paragraph 2? A．It was short of excitement. B．It was basically a desert hike. C．It offered a variety of experiences. D．It brought a sense of loneliness. 26．(2.5分)What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on? A．Shared experience. B．Sincere care. C．Similar backgrounds. D．Regular contacts. 27．(2.5分)What lesson might the author learn from the trip? A．Simplicity and freedom are valuable. B．Happiness is what truly matters. C．Nothing can compare with city life. D．Living a simple life is never possible. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．A 27．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在加拿大阳光海岸小径进行为期15天的独自徒步旅行的经历，以及这次旅程带给他的独特友谊和关于简单与自由的人生感悟。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“getting to the trailhead (登山口) was quite an experience, as I rode my motorbike in the rain, took buses and finally a small boat to Sarah Point (到达登山口是一次相当独特的经历，因为我在雨中骑着摩托车，乘坐了公共汽车，最后乘小船到达莎拉角)”可知，作者在到达登山口前使用了摩托车、公交车和小船等多种交通工具。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段“I loved everything I saw along the path. Some parts were wide and smooth, but some were thin, steep and covered with wild plants. I slept in a small wooden house every night, and each day felt special. (我喜欢沿途看到的一切。有些路段宽阔平坦，但有些路段狭窄陡峭，长满了野生植物。我每晚都睡在小木屋里，每一天都感觉特别)”可知，这次徒步旅行路况多样，住宿和感受也各不相同，可推理出旅途提供了丰富多样的体验。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences(做作), leaving only human connection.(我们笑着谈论这条小径是如何在我们相遇之前就把我们联系在一起的。我意识到这样的旅程是如何消除做作的，只留下人与人之间真实的联系。)”可知，这条小径在两人相遇之前就把他们联系在一起，可推理出作者和Pierre的友谊是建立在共同走过这条徒步路线的共享经历之上的。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It let me learn to value simple things and being free, and I would keep this thought forever after the trip. (它让我学会珍惜简单的事物和自由，在这趟旅行之后我会永远保留这个想法。)”可知，作者从这次旅行中学到的教训是：简单和自由是非常宝贵的。 （本题10分）First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. You should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 28．(2.5分)What are first impressions like according to paragraph 2? A．Casual and interesting. B．Brief and temporary. C．Important and lasting. D．Negative and unstable. 29．(2.5分)How can you make a memorable first impression according to the author? A．By engaging in small talk. B．By avoiding risky behavior. C．By demonstrating insight or humor. D．By sharing your personal experiences. 30．(2.5分)What does the author recommend doing if you mess up your first impression? A．Apologizing immediately. B．Avoiding seeing the person again. C．Forgetting about the encounter. D．Making a better second impression. 31．(2.5分)What tone does the author take when discussing the effectiveness of the advice? A．Cold. B．Playful. C．Serious. D．Convincing. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述第一印象往往短暂易逝，教我们如何留下好印象，若初次印象不佳，也可以用更好的二次印象来弥补。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. (留下第一印象，就好比用脚抵住一扇门不让它关上。与陌生人的许多相遇都短暂仓促，且或许此生不会再见。)”可知，第一印象是短暂且临时的。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. (想要不被人遗忘，你需要做出令人印象深刻的举动，但绝不能是荒唐愚蠢的行为。你可以提出一个有深度的问题，或是逗他人发笑，以此留下好印象。)”可知，作者建议靠展现见解或是幽默感来留下难忘的第一印象。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段“But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …”(可万一你搞砸了自己的第一印象该怎么办呢？某天你看见对方正望着你，回想起你当初出糗的模样，他们朝你走来，心里想着：“我好像在哪见过你……”)”和第五段“In that case, your second impression needs to be better.(既然如此，你需要打造一个更好的第二印象。)”可知，若是第一印象搞砸了，作者建议去营造更好的第二印象。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据第六段“None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works.(顺便说一下，这些都不是能保证让别人喜欢你的万能法则，我甚至不确定这些方法是否管用。)”可知，作者对自身建议的效果语气轻松随意，带着诙谐调侃的口吻。故选B项。 （本题10分）Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源). Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not. “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.” But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 32．(2.5分)What may the students start worrying about before an exam? A．What other students do during the test. B．Whether they can pass the exams. C．Whether they have remembered the materials. D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper. 33．(2.5分)What is the solution developed by the two researchers? A．Asking the students to think nothing of the test. B．Asking the students to focus on the test. C．Asking the students to write about their worries before the test. D．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test. 34．(2.5分)According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________. A．became less nervous before the test B．were better at controlling their feelings C．did better than those who took two tests D．did worse than those who wrote about their feelings 35．(2.5分)What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．Writing about worries before an exam can work a bit. B．Studying in the library can improve students’ performance. C．It doesn’t matter where to write about worries before an exam. D．Students can only write about worries right before an exam. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍缓解学生考前焦虑的方法及相关研究验证其有效性的过程。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The students start worrying about the results.(学生们开始担心考试结果)”可知，学生考前担忧的是考试结果，也就是自己能否通过考试。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(贝洛克教授和另一位研究员杰拉多・拉米雷斯研发了一个可行的解决办法。在考试前夕，高度焦虑的考生花十分钟写下自己对这场考试的担忧)”可知，两位研究者提出的解决办法是让考前焦虑的学生写下自己的担忧。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.(贝洛克教授表示，高度焦虑且写下自身感受的学生平均成绩为 B+，而未写的学生平均成绩为 B-。研究员在期末考试前告知学生，要么写下自己的感受，要么去想和考试无关的事情)”可知，想和考试无关事情的学生，成绩要比写下担忧的学生差。故选D项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.(但如果学生在临考前没有机会写下自己的担忧该怎么办？贝洛克教授表示，学生可以在家或图书馆自行尝试这个方法，依然能提升考试表现)”可知，考前写下担忧的地点并不影响效果。故选C项。 （本题12.5分）Simple Steps to Manage Your Money Your money and how you manage it are some of the most important things in your life. They influence almost everything you do. 36(2.5分) Here are some steps you can take. 37(2.5分) The first thing you need to do is know where your money is going. See what you are actually spending your money on. There will likely be a few surprises when you see the results of your   tracking. You are probably spending more in some areas than you think. Set up a budget (预算). 38(2.5分) To manage your money properly and get ahead without money troubles, you need to spend less than you earn. You also need to record where your money comes from and when you receive it. Then, you are able to decide how much of your income(收入) is spent on bills and necessities. Plan how you will spend or save any remaining money. Keep your budget on track. After tracking your spending for a month, you may see some areas where you can cut your spending. 39(2.5分) Remember to save some money for unexpected expenses(花费). Now that you know where your money is going and you’re spending less, you can start saving. To get ahead, you need to save a percentage of your money. 40(2.5分) Once you get used to it, you may increase it to 20 percent or more. Once you start managing your money, you will find out that it makes other parts of your life easier as well. A．Start tracking your spending. B．Keep an eye on your pocket money. C．If possible, work out a spending plan. D．It’s never too late to save even a small amount of money. E．Also you’d better review your budget every few months. F．10 percent of your income is a good amount to start with. G．Therefore, it is very important to manage your money properly. 【答案】36．G 37．A 38．C 39．E 40．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是通过提供一些简单的步骤来帮助人们管理自己的钱财。作者强调了金钱管理对于生活中几乎所有事情的重要性，并提出了一些具体的建议，如跟踪支出、制定预算、保持预算正常运行、节省开支以及为意外支出储蓄等。通过这些步骤，人们可以更好地控制自己的财务状况，从而使得生活的其他方面也变得更加容易。 【详解】36．根据前文“Your money and how you manage it are some of the most important things in your life. They influence almost everything you do. (你的钱和如何管理它是你生活中最重要的一些事情。它们几乎影响你做的每一件事)”和后句“Here are some steps you can take. (下面有一些你可以采取的措施)”可知，管理钱很重要，接下来要介绍管理钱财的方法，可知管理钱财的方法也很重要。由此可知，G选项“Therefore, it is very important to manage your money properly.(因此，正确管理你的钱是非常重要的)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 37．根据后文“The first thing you need to do is know where your money is going. See what you are actually spending your money on. There will likely be a few surprises when you see the results of your tracking. You are probably spending more in some areas than you think. (你要做的第一件事就是知道你的钱都花到哪里去了。 看看你到底把钱花在了什么地方。当你看到你记录的结果时，可能会有一些惊喜。你在这些方面的花费可能比你想象的要多)可知，本段主要陈述记录自己的开支。所以选项A选项“Start tracking your spending.(开始记录你的支出)”符合语境。故选A。 38．根据前句“Set up a budget.(制定预算)”和后文“To manage your money properly and get ahead without money troubles, you need to spend less than you earn. You also need to record where your money comes from and when you receive it. Then, you are able to decide how much of your income(收入) is spent on bills and necessities. Plan how you will spend or save any remaining money. (为了妥善管理你的钱，使你在没有金钱问题的情况下获得成功，你需要开支小于收入。你还需要记录你的收入来源和何时收到它们。然后，你就可以确定你的收入有多少花在了账单和生活必需品上。计划你将如何花费或存下剩余的资金。)”可知，后文讲述的是要对今后的开支做一个规划。由此可知，C选项“If possible, work out a spending plan.(如果可能的话，制定一个支出计划)”符合上下文语境，都是对以后的规划。故选C。 39．本段的主题句“Keep your budget on track.(保持预算正常)”可知，要保持预算正常，结合上文“After tracking your spending for a month, you may see some areas where you can cut your spending.(在记录你一个月的开销之后，你可能会发现一些可以削减开支的地方)”可知，空处也陈述保持预算正常的方法。由此可知，E选项“Also you’d better review your budget every few months. (此外你最好每隔几个月回顾一下你的预算)”符合上下文语境，also表明与上文的并列关系，故选E。 40．根据前句“To get ahead, you need to save a percentage of your money.(为了能够省钱成功，你需要节省一定比例的钱。)”和后句“Once you get used to it, you may increase it to 20 percent or more.(一旦你习惯了，你可能会增加到20%或更多)”可知，为了能够省钱成功，你需要节省一定比例的钱，省钱的数额是由少到多的。由此可知，F选项“10 percent of your income is a good amount to start with.(你收入的10%对你来说是一个不错的数目)”建议了一个储存的比例，呼应下文20%，符合语境。故选F。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Three years ago, I participated in Model United Nations (MUN) held by the Education Department, which was a mock (模拟的) UN activity. During the two days, students were separated in different groups which 41 different countries to debate and try to solve problems. MUN has 42 awards: best delegates (代表), honorable mentions, and verbal commendations. Each time I participated in MUN, I made good 43 and undoubtedly got a few awards. But I often felt as if I’d 44 because I had never won the best delegate award. I 45 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times, and I was just filled with 46 at their success. But later I realized that it was also 47 not to get the award because I could actually 48 something, and that I shouldn’t 49 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be. Failures are completely subjective — we can look at a result as a failure or a 50 . Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 51 because you can always learn something from it and do 52 next time. This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with a blank slate: knowledge and ability are learned from our 53 . That’s true. If I make a mistake in the life practice, then I probably won’t 54 that next time. I believe this is 55 the best way to become better. 41．(1分)A．inspire B．condemn C．represent D．strengthen 42．(1分)A．various B．temporary C．identical D．false 43．(1分)A．predictions B．preparations C．appointments D．explanations 44．(1分)A．accelerated B．exited C．failed D．succeeded 45．(1分)A．witnessed B．trained C．expected D．approached 46．(1分)A．envy B．relief C．satisfaction D．delight 47．(1分)A．annoyed B．ashamed C．terrible D．good 48．(1分)A．display B．desert C．delete D．learn 49．(1分)A．miss B．win C．deliver D．value 50．(1分)A．victory B．bet C．bond D．loss 51．(1分)A．aim B．burden C．benefit D．limit 52．(1分)A．funnier B．better C．worse D．slower 53．(1分)A．experiences B．attitudes C．positions D．decisions 54．(1分)A．accept B．admit C．repeat D．notice 55．(1分)A．wrongly B．scarcely C．narrowly D．truly 【答案】 41．C 42．A 43．B 44．C 45．A 46．A 47．D 48．D 49．B 50．A 51．C 52．B 53．A 54．C 55．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者参加模拟联合国活动时，虽多次获奖但从未获得最佳代表奖，起初感到失落和嫉妒，后来意识到失败是主观的，任何失败都可以看作是一种益处，因为总能从中学到东西并在下次做得更好，作者认为这是变得更好的真正方法。 【详解】41．考查动词。句意：在这两天里，学生们被分成不同的小组，代表不同的国家进行辩论并尝试解决问题。A. inspire激励；B. condemn谴责；C. represent代表；D. strengthen加强。根据前文“Model United Nations (MUN)”可知，Model United Nations (MUN) 是模拟联合国的活动，核心环节就是学生代表不同的国家进行辩论。 42．考查形容词。句意：模拟联合国有各种各样的奖项：最佳代表、荣誉提名奖、口头表彰奖。A. various各种各样的；B. temporary暂时的；C. identical相同的；D. false错误的。根据后文“best delegates (代表), honorable mentions, and verbal commendations.”可知，模拟联合国有各种各样的奖项。 43．考查名词。句意：每次我参加模拟联合国，我都会做好充分的准备，毫无疑问地获得了一些奖项。A. predictions预测；B. preparations准备；C. appointments约会；D. explanations解释。根据后文“and undoubtedly got a few awards”可知，作者做好充分准备，才能获奖。 44．考查动词。句意：但我经常觉得自己好像失败了，因为我从未获得过最佳代表奖。A. accelerated加速；B. exited退出；C. failed失败；D. succeeded成功。根据后文“because I had never won the best delegate award”可知，因为从未获得过最佳代表奖，所以作者觉得自己好像失败了。 45．考查动词。句意：我目睹了那些不配获奖的人多次获奖，我对他们的成功充满了嫉妒。A. witnessed目睹；B. trained训练；C. expected期望；D. approached接近。该动词的宾语是后文“those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times”，描述的是一个作者观察到的客观现象。因此，这是作者“目睹”到的事情。 46．考查名词。句意：我目睹了那些不配获奖的人多次获奖，我对他们的成功充满了嫉妒。A. envy嫉妒；B. relief宽慰；C. satisfaction满意；D. delight高兴。根据前文“those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times”可知，不配获奖的人多次获奖，作者会充满嫉妒。 47．考查形容词。句意：但后来我意识到，没有获奖也是件好事，因为我实际上可以学到一些东西，而且在我成为最好的代表之前，我不应该赢得最佳代表奖。A. annoyed恼怒的；B. ashamed羞愧的；C. terrible糟糕的；D. good好的。根据后文“because I could actually ____ something”可知，没有获奖也是件好事，因为可以学到东西。 48．考查动词。句意：但后来我意识到，没有获奖也是件好事，因为我实际上可以学到一些东西，而且在我成为最好的代表之前，我不应该赢得最佳代表奖。A. display展示；B. desert抛弃；C. delete删除；D. learn学习。根据后文“Any failure can be regarded as a(n) ____ because you can always learn something from it”可知，没有获奖的话，可以学到一些东西。 49．考查动词。句意：但后来我意识到，没有获奖也是件好事，因为我实际上可以学到一些东西，而且在我成为最好的代表之前，我不应该赢得最佳代表奖。A. miss错过；B. win赢得；C. deliver递送；D. value重视。根据后文“until I was the best delegate I could be”可知，作者认为“获奖”应在自身能力真正匹配之后。 50．考查名词。句意：失败完全是主观的——我们可以把结果看作失败或胜利。A. victory胜利；B. bet打赌；C. bond纽带；D. loss损失。根据前文“Failures are completely subjective”可知，失败是主观的，破折号后的内容是对“主观”的解释，其中“or”连接一对反义词，与“failure”构成对比关系的只有“victory”。这体现了看待结果的两种对立视角。 51．考查名词。句意：任何失败都可以被视为一种益处，因为你总能从中学到东西，并在下次做得更好。A. aim目标；B. burden负担；C. benefit益处；D. limit限制。根据后文“because you can always learn something from it”可知，能从失败中学到东西，所以失败可以视为一种益处。 52．考查形容词。句意：任何失败都可以被视为一种益处，因为你总能从中学到东西，并在下次做得更好。A. funnier更有趣的；B. better更好的；C. worse更糟糕的；D. slower更慢的。根据前文“you can always learn something from it”可知，能从失败中学到东西，下次就能做得更好。 53．考查名词。句意：这得到了约翰·洛克理论的支持，即人生来如同一张白纸：知识和能力是从我们的经历中学到的。A. experiences经历；B. attitudes态度；C. positions位置；D. decisions决定。结合前文作者从模拟联合国的经历中领悟到道理，以及“knowledge and ability are learned from”可知，此处指从“经历”中学习，与作者的自身经历相契合。 54．考查动词。句意：如果我在生活实践中犯了一个错误，那么我下次可能就不会再犯了。A. accept接受；B. admit承认；C. repeat重复；D. notice注意。根据前文“If I make a mistake in the life practice”可知，犯错后下次可能就不会再犯了。 55．考查副词。句意：我相信这确实是变得更好的最好方法。A. wrongly错误地；B. scarcely几乎不；C. narrowly勉强地；D. truly真正地。此句是作者的总结性陈述，语气肯定，强调其观点的正确性。从“I believe”和“the best way”可以看出，作者对此深信不疑，需要一个表示肯定和强调的副词。 四、语法填空 （本题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。。 Going to high school is both 56(1.5分) (excite) and scary.

But remember that your teachers are there 65(1.5分) (help) you, so try not to be afraid of them.

My brush felt heavy and lifeless in my hand, hanging over the palette (调色板) where paints were slowly drying into hard blobs (一团). I let out a deep sigh of frustration, the sound filling the silent studio. This painting was meant to be my masterpiece, the key work in my collection for art school applications. Yet my mind was just as empty as the canvas before me. For weeks, I had forced myself to seek inspiration. I wandered through museums, studied countless art books, and took long walks in autumn parks, hoping to catch a spark that would light up my imagination. But nothing worked. Every idea felt dull and unoriginal. I was an artist with no vision, no muse to guide me. Desperate to run away from my own failure, I picked up my jacket and a small sketchbook, stepping out to wander the city streets with no plan at all. Maybe among the busy crowds and messy city life, I could find what I was missing. The afternoon sun warmed my face as I walked, watching people hurry past with worried expressions, lost in their own worlds with headphones. I saw tall glass buildings reaching toward the sky, impressive but cold. None of it touched my heart. When my legs grew tired, I sat on a bench in a quiet, untidy square. Across from me sat an elderly lady, weak and slightly bent. Her wrinkled, aged hands moved steadily as she knitted (编织). What truly caught my eye was her expression. Her pale eyes stared at two kids laughing and sharing an ice cream. A soft and childish smile spread across her lips — not just simple joy, but a mix of memory, longing for the past, and love remembered. It was a smile that held a whole life of stories. The noisy world around me faded away. There was only her, a quiet spot of warmth in the busy city. Without thinking, my hand dashed across the sketchbook, pouring my feelings onto the page. She never noticed me. After a while, she packed her knitting and slowly walked away into the crowd. I raced back to my studio, my heart racing. That ordinary, gentle moment had given me everything. I was finally ready to paint. 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。 I was lost in painting, recreating the elderly lady from my memory. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sunlight flooded my studio as I finished the painting. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was lost in painting, recreating the elderly lady from my memory. My brush, once heavy and lifeless, now moved freely across the canvas, as if guided by an invisible hand. I mixed soft, warm colors to capture the wrinkles on her face and the gentle curve of her smile, pouring all my feelings of warmth and longing into every stroke. I forgot the time, the pressure of art school applications, and all my self-doubt — only the lady’s peaceful expression and the magic of that moment mattered. Sunlight flooded my studio as I finished the painting. I stepped back, my eyes filled with tears of joy. There, on the canvas, was not just a portrait of an elderly lady, but a celebration of ordinary beauty and quiet moments. The once-empty canvas now held a story, a feeling, a piece of my heart. I knew this was my masterpiece — not because it was perfect, but because it was real. It reminded me that inspiration doesn’t always come from grand things; sometimes, it’s the simple, gentle moments in life that light up our souls and unlock our creativity. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者陷入绘画创作瓶颈，外出散心时偶遇神情温柔的老妇人，获得创作灵感，完成作品后领悟到灵感源于生活平凡温暖的瞬间。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者沉浸其中，凭借记忆专心描摹老妇人的模样、用心投入绘画创作。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写画作完成，作者欣赏作品并从中领悟到灵感源自生活平凡瞬间的道理。 2.续写线索：潜心作画——沉浸创作——完成画作——心生感悟——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①倾注：pour…into…/devote…into… ②忘记：forget/escape one’ s mind ③退后一步：step back/draw back 情绪类 ①渴望：longing/yearning/desire ②平静的：peaceful/serene 【点睛】【高分句型1】I mixed soft, warm colors to capture the wrinkles on her face and the gentle curve of her smile, pouring all my feelings of warmth and longing into every stroke.

I loved everything I saw along the path. Some parts were wide and smooth, but some were thin, steep and covered with wild plants. I slept in a small wooden house every night, and each day felt special. At Bliss Portage Hut, I sat on a quiet seat hidden away and enjoyed the woods. Sitting there, I knew few people could have a whole forest all to themselves. Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection. Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings. When I finished the whole walk, I got back my motorbike and felt both proud and sad at the same time. Going back to city life felt unreal, like those 15 days were just a nice dream. This path changed me a lot. It let me learn to value simple things and being free, and I would keep this thought forever after the trip. The days walking outside told me what things are really important in life. 24．(2.5分)What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead? A．He joined a package tour. B．He came across a wild beast. C．He covered 180 kilometers. D．He used various means of transportation. 25．(2.5分)What was the trip like according to paragraph 2? A．It was short of excitement. B．It was basically a desert hike. C．It offered a variety of experiences. D．It brought a sense of loneliness. 26．(2.5分)What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on? A．Shared experience. B．Sincere care. C．Similar backgrounds. D．Regular contacts. 27．(2.5分)What lesson might the author learn from the trip? A．Simplicity and freedom are valuable. B．Happiness is what truly matters. C．Nothing can compare with city life. D．Living a simple life is never possible. （本题10分）First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. You should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 28．(2.5分)What are first impressions like according to paragraph 2? A．Casual and interesting. B．Brief and temporary. C．Important and lasting. D．Negative and unstable. 29．(2.5分)How can you make a memorable first impression according to the author? A．By engaging in small talk. B．By avoiding risky behavior.

Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源). Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not. “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.” But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 32．(2.5分)What may the students start worrying about before an exam? A．What other students do during the test. B．Whether they can pass the exams. C．Whether they have remembered the materials. D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper. 33．(2.5分)What is the solution developed by the two researchers? A．Asking the students to think nothing of the test. B．Asking the students to focus on the test. C．Asking the students to write about their worries before the test. D．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test. 34．(2.5分)According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________. A．became less nervous before the test B．were better at controlling their feelings C．did better than those who took two tests D．did worse than those who wrote about their feelings 35．(2.5分)What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．Writing about worries before an exam can work a bit. B．Studying in the library can improve students’ performance. C．It doesn’t matter where to write about worries before an exam. D．Students can only write about worries right before an exam. （本题12.5分）Simple Steps to Manage Your Money Your money and how you manage it are some of the most important things in your life.

During the two days, students were separated in different groups which 41 different countries to debate and try to solve problems. MUN has 42 awards: best delegates (代表), honorable mentions, and verbal commendations. Each time I participated in MUN, I made good 43 and undoubtedly got a few awards. But I often felt as if I’d 44 because I had never won the best delegate award. I 45 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times, and I was just filled with 46 at their success. But later I realized that it was also 47 not to get the award because I could actually 48 something, and that I shouldn’t 49 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be. Failures are completely subjective — we can look at a result as a failure or a 50 . Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 51 because you can always learn something from it and do 52 next time. This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with a blank slate: knowledge and ability are learned from our 53 . That’s true. If I make a mistake in the life practice, then I probably won’t 54 that next time. I believe this is 55 the best way to become better. 41．(1分)A．inspire B．condemn C．represent D．strengthen 42．(1分)A．various B．temporary C．identical D．false 43．(1分)A．predictions B．preparations C．appointments D．explanations 44．(1分)A．accelerated B．exited C．failed D．succeeded 45．(1分)A．witnessed B．trained C．expected D．approached 46．(1分)A．envy B．relief C．satisfaction D．delight 47．(1分)A．annoyed B．ashamed C．terrible D．good 48．(1分)A．display B．desert C．delete D．learn 49．(1分)A．miss B．win C．deliver D．value 50．(1分)A．victory B．bet C．bond D．loss 51．(1分)A．aim B．burden C．benefit D．limit 52．(1分)A．funnier B．better C．worse D．slower 53．(1分)A．experiences B．attitudes C．positions D．decisions 54．(1分)A．accept B．admit C．repeat D．notice 55．(1分)A．wrongly B．scarcely C．narrowly D．truly 四、语法填空 （本题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。。 Going to high school is both 56(1.5分) (excite) and scary.

My brush felt heavy and lifeless in my hand, hanging over the palette (调色板) where paints were slowly drying into hard blobs (一团). I let out a deep sigh of frustration, the sound filling the silent studio. This painting was meant to be my masterpiece, the key work in my collection for art school applications. Yet my mind was just as empty as the canvas before me. For weeks, I had forced myself to seek inspiration. I wandered through museums, studied countless art books, and took long walks in autumn parks, hoping to catch a spark that would light up my imagination. But nothing worked. Every idea felt dull and unoriginal. I was an artist with no vision, no muse to guide me. Desperate to run away from my own failure, I picked up my jacket and a small sketchbook, stepping out to wander the city streets with no plan at all. Maybe among the busy crowds and messy city life, I could find what I was missing. The afternoon sun warmed my face as I walked, watching people hurry past with worried expressions, lost in their own worlds with headphones. I saw tall glass buildings reaching toward the sky, impressive but cold. None of it touched my heart. When my legs grew tired, I sat on a bench in a quiet, untidy square. Across from me sat an elderly lady, weak and slightly bent. Her wrinkled, aged hands moved steadily as she knitted (编织). What truly caught my eye was her expression. Her pale eyes stared at two kids laughing and sharing an ice cream. A soft and childish smile spread across her lips — not just simple joy, but a mix of memory, longing for the past, and love remembered. It was a smile that held a whole life of stories. The noisy world around me faded away. There was only her, a quiet spot of warmth in the busy city. Without thinking, my hand dashed across the sketchbook, pouring my feelings onto the page. She never noticed me. After a while, she packed her knitting and slowly walked away into the crowd. I raced back to my studio, my heart racing. That ordinary, gentle moment had given me everything. I was finally ready to paint. 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。 I was lost in painting, recreating the elderly lady from my memory. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sunlight flooded my studio as I finished the painting. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
