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）Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork — everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don’t have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips. Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that’s good. You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare’s use of irony (讽刺)? Write them down. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or a piece of information. After a while, you’ll get to know a teacher’s style. Don’t overdo it. Don’t go crazy taking notes. You’ll be frantic (慌乱的) if you try to write down every word that’s said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class. Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher is going too fast, your classmates will also be happy to hear the information again. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It’s much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study. Compare. Keep your notes handy when you’re doing your reading homework. Compare what you wrote with what the reading says — you may even want to add to your notes as you read. 28．(2.5分)What’s an advantage of note-taking according to the writer? A．It’s a basic skill in researching a paper. B．It helps focus your mind on what the teacher says. C．It helps you to get good marks in tests. D．It gives you a better understanding of key facts. 29．(2.5分)Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the passage? A．To introduce the topic of note-taking. B．To explain what a key fact is in a teacher’s class. C．To give an example of forming good habits. D．To compare writing styles in different times. 30．(2.5分)What is suggested in the third paragraph? A．A teacher’s style should be considered when taking notes. B．It’s helpful for teachers to learn from each other in styles. C．It’s not always possible to note down all information in class. D．Teachers encourage their students to be active in class. 31．(2.5分)What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage? A．Students must not ask questions while having a class. B．Students must try to take correct and detailed notes in class. C．Students should put down key points while listening carefully. D．Students should put down as much information as possible in class. （本题10分）“If you’re running a race and you pass the person in second place, what place are you in?” The quiz is deceivingly simple, but the answer isn’t obvious. The reason for this question design is not to cheat people, but to figure out natural differences in their thinking styles. After reading the question, an intuitive (直觉的) answer is likely to be: Since only one place is better than second place, if passing the person in second place, surely you’d be first. In comparison, a slower, more reflective thinker might realize that by passing the person in second place, one person is still in front of you. System 1 is a fast and intuitive approach, which is often ruled by emotional responses, habits or instincts (本能). It has the advantage of creating fast solutions but typically tends to make common reasoning errors. System 2 describes a slow and careful approach, which includes more measured reflection on different choices. It has the advantage of leading to more purposeful results but is also connected with the cost of higher mental effort. The test question intended to measure people’s preferences of one thinking style over the other. However, in fact, most people use a mixture of System 1 and System 2 approaches, with the context determining which system is more influential. The relative importance of a task and the amount of time available to make a choice can both influence how you think. With this in mind, we may have to look back on our first question. Rather than trying to identify the better thinking style, the challenge appears to be one of finding balance. Knowing when to think fast and when to think slow might be the real game changer for lifting productivity and success. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “deceivingly” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Seemingly. B．Heavily. C．Extremely. D．Strangely. 33．(2.5分)What do we know about reflective thinkers? A．They are worse at running races. B．They are more likely to make mistakes. C．They are easily influenced by emotions. D．They often think twice about everything. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．It’s difficult to change one’s thinking style. B．Reflective thinking outweighs intuitive thinking. C．One’s thinking style is decided by certain factors. D．People usually prefer one thinking style to the other. 35．(2.5分)What may be the key to success according to the text? A．Ignoring intuitive responses. B．Figuring out the better thinking style. C．Changing the game rules to your advantage. D．Finding balance between fast and slow thinking. （本题12.5分）Watching a film critically is a skill worth developing because it helps you learn what makes a film good according to your own tastes. What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess? 36(2.5分) Here, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically. Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s undivided attention. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus. 37(2.5分) Try, just once, to watch the film as they intended. Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. It might be an uncomfortable allegory (讽喻). 38(2.5分) For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction? Analyze sound, lighting and production. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. 39(2.5分) You might consider how the choice of costume brightens a character. 40(2.5分) It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences. A．Don’t forget that it’s all subjective. B．Think about why you did or didn’t enjoy it. C．Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time. D．Why do some films excite people while others send people to sleep? E．How was the film constructed to provide a new insight into the theme? F．Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them. G．You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I was fifteen, I tried out for the school basketball team.

Every morning, there was one personal trainer who worked out. He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy. When I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard. Several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) effortlessly. I asked him if I could try a chin-up. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking... Once...then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear. The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn’t do them at all. He further told me that if I practiced every day, I would be doing five or six in no time. I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day at the gym. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. With each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing. One day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you’ve come a long way in such a short time. I believe it’s time to set a new goal for yourself.” I asked, “What do you have in mind?” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive (连续不断的) chin-ups? I have no doubt that you can achieve it with your insistence.” 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 both excited and nervous about this new challenge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, one morning, it happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Success（较易版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What can be inferred about Professor Jones’s lectures?

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）Toy-Making Competition Get ready to put your creativity into making toys and show your talent at this annual event!

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）Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork — everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don’t have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips. Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that’s good. You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare’s use of irony (讽刺)? Write them down. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or a piece of information. After a while, you’ll get to know a teacher’s style. Don’t overdo it. Don’t go crazy taking notes. You’ll be frantic (慌乱的) if you try to write down every word that’s said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class. Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If the teacher is going too fast, your classmates will also be happy to hear the information again. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It’s much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study. Compare. Keep your notes handy when you’re doing your reading homework. Compare what you wrote with what the reading says — you may even want to add to your notes as you read. 28．(2.5分)What’s an advantage of note-taking according to the writer? A．It’s a basic skill in researching a paper. B．It helps focus your mind on what the teacher says. C．It helps you to get good marks in tests. D．It gives you a better understanding of key facts. 29．(2.5分)Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the passage? A．To introduce the topic of note-taking. B．To explain what a key fact is in a teacher’s class. C．To give an example of forming good habits. D．To compare writing styles in different times. 30．(2.5分)What is suggested in the third paragraph? A．A teacher’s style should be considered when taking notes. B．It’s helpful for teachers to learn from each other in styles. C．It’s not always possible to note down all information in class. D．Teachers encourage their students to be active in class. 31．(2.5分)What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage? A．Students must not ask questions while having a class. B．Students must try to take correct and detailed notes in class. C．Students should put down key points while listening carefully. D．Students should put down as much information as possible in class. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了记笔记的实用技巧：记录关键信息、适应老师的授课风格、避免过度记录、不懂就问，以及结合阅读材料完善笔记，以此提升学业表现。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork — everything from taking tests to researching a paper.(做笔记是一项能够帮助你在所有学业中取得优异成绩的技能——无论是参加考试，还是查资料写论文，亦或是进行研究工作)”可知，做笔记能帮助你在考试中取得好成绩。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段“Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that’s good. You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare’s use of irony (讽刺)? Write them down.(记录关键信息。如果有老师在黑板上写板书，那很好。你可以把它们抄下来。如果没有，那就把课堂上最重要的内容记下来。你的历史老师有没有提到某场重要内战战役的日期？你的英语老师有没有举例说明莎士比亚对讽刺的运用？把这些内容记下来)”可知，提及莎士比亚是为了在老师的课堂上解释一个关键事实是什么。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or a piece of information. After a while, you’ll get to know a teacher’s style.(不同的老师教学方式各不相同。比如，有些老师在课堂上可能会提及很多日期和事实，但只会在黑板上写下关键的内容。而其他老师可能什么也不写，但他们可能会重复某个日期或某条信息。过一段时间后，你就会逐渐了解一位老师的教学风格了)”可知，第三段建议学生们记笔记时应考虑教师的教学风格。故选A。 31．细节理解题。根据第四段“Don’t overdo it. Don’t go crazy taking notes. You’ll be frantic (慌乱的) if you try to write down every word that’s said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class.(不要过度为之。不要疯狂地做笔记。如果你试图把课堂上说的每一个字都记录下来，那你肯定会感到很慌乱。而且，如果过于注重把笔记写得准确无误，你可能会错过重要的内容。实际上，有些人通过聆听、记录几个关键要点，然后课后复习这些内容，学习效果反而更好)”可知，作者认为学生应认真听讲并记录关键点。故选C。 （本题10分）“If you’re running a race and you pass the person in second place, what place are you in?” The quiz is deceivingly simple, but the answer isn’t obvious. The reason for this question design is not to cheat people, but to figure out natural differences in their thinking styles. After reading the question, an intuitive (直觉的) answer is likely to be: Since only one place is better than second place, if passing the person in second place, surely you’d be first. In comparison, a slower, more reflective thinker might realize that by passing the person in second place, one person is still in front of you. System 1 is a fast and intuitive approach, which is often ruled by emotional responses, habits or instincts (本能). It has the advantage of creating fast solutions but typically tends to make common reasoning errors. System 2 describes a slow and careful approach, which includes more measured reflection on different choices. It has the advantage of leading to more purposeful results but is also connected with the cost of higher mental effort. The test question intended to measure people’s preferences of one thinking style over the other. However, in fact, most people use a mixture of System 1 and System 2 approaches, with the context determining which system is more influential. The relative importance of a task and the amount of time available to make a choice can both influence how you think. With this in mind, we may have to look back on our first question. Rather than trying to identify the better thinking style, the challenge appears to be one of finding balance. Knowing when to think fast and when to think slow might be the real game changer for lifting productivity and success. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “deceivingly” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Seemingly. B．Heavily. C．Extremely. D．Strangely. 33．(2.5分)What do we know about reflective thinkers? A．They are worse at running races. B．They are more likely to make mistakes. C．They are easily influenced by emotions. D．They often think twice about everything. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．It’s difficult to change one’s thinking style. B．Reflective thinking outweighs intuitive thinking. C．One’s thinking style is decided by certain factors. D．People usually prefer one thinking style to the other. 35．(2.5分)What may be the key to success according to the text? A．Ignoring intuitive responses. B．Figuring out the better thinking style. C．Changing the game rules to your advantage. D．Finding balance between fast and slow thinking. 【答案】32．A 33．D 34．C 35．D 【导语】这篇文章借助赛跑谜题介绍直觉型与深思型两种思维模式。多数人混合运用二者，不必区分优劣，平衡快慢思考才是取得成功的关键。 【详解】32．词句猜测题。根据划线单词后文“but the answer isn’t obvious.(但答案并不明显。)”可知，but表转折，指谜题看似简单，答案却并不明显。故猜测deceivingly意为“表面上，看似”，与A选项seemingly（表面上地）语义最贴近。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“System 2 describes a slow and careful approach, which includes more measured reflection on different choices. (系统2则描述一种缓慢而谨慎的思考方式，涉及对不同选择进行更审慎的反思。)”可知，关于反思型思维者，我们了解到他们经常对每件事都三思。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“The test question intended to measure people’s preferences of one thinking style over the other. However, in fact, most people use a mixture of System 1 and System 2 approaches, with the context determining which system is more influential. The relative importance of a task and the amount of time available to make a choice can both influence how you think.(这个测试题目旨在衡量人们对两种思维方式偏好的选择。然而事实上，大多数人会同时运用系统1和系统2的思维方式，具体采用哪种方式取决于情境。任务的相对重要性以及做出选择所拥有的时间，都可能影响你的思考方式。)”可推知，一个人的思维方式由某些因素决定。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Rather than trying to identify the better thinking style, the challenge appears to be one of finding balance. Knowing when to think fast and when to think slow might be the real game changer for lifting productivity and success.(与其试图确定哪种思维模式更优，挑战似乎在于找到平衡。懂得何时快速思考、何时慢速思考，可能是提升生产力与成功的关键所在。)”可知，成功的关键可能是在快速思考和慢速思考之间找到平衡。 （本题12.5分）Watching a film critically is a skill worth developing because it helps you learn what makes a film good according to your own tastes. What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess? 36(2.5分) Here, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically. Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s undivided attention. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus. 37(2.5分) Try, just once, to watch the film as they intended. Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. It might be an uncomfortable allegory (讽喻). 38(2.5分) For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction? Analyze sound, lighting and production. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. 39(2.5分) You might consider how the choice of costume brightens a character. 40(2.5分) It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences. A．Don’t forget that it’s all subjective. B．Think about why you did or didn’t enjoy it. C．Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time. D．Why do some films excite people while others send people to sleep? E．How was the film constructed to provide a new insight into the theme? F．Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them. G．You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material. 【答案】36．D 37．F 38．G 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了如何更好地欣赏电影。 【详解】36．根据前文“What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess?(是什么让一个导演的早期电影非常有趣，而后来的电影却一团糟？)”可知，空前是问句，后文要么是对本句的回答，要么继续提问，形成排比句，所以D项“Why do some films excite people while others send people to sleep?(为什么有些电影让人兴奋，而有些电影让人昏昏欲睡？)”符合前文主题，都是在提问电影为什么有好有坏。故选D项。 37．根据前文“Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s undivided attention. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus.(至少一次专心致志地看这部电影。电影制作人承认，他们并不总是能吸引观众的注意力。关键剧情节点会搭配配乐加以烘托，以此让观众集中注意力。)”可知，此处主要讲述了电影制作人用各种方法去吸引观众的注意力，所以F项“Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them.(角色的名字可能会被重复，以确保你听到了他们的名字)”符合此处主题，都是吸引观众的注意力的方法。故选F项。 38．根据前文“Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. It might be an uncomfortable allegory (讽喻).(想想这部电影探讨的主题。挑选出电影的主题并评估影片如何处理这些主题是影评的核心。这可能是一个令人不舒服的讽喻)”可知，本段讲述电影如何表达主题，根据后文“For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction?(例如，《狮子王》借鉴了《哈姆雷特》情节。它是否为故事注入了新的活力，并把它带向一个有趣的方向？)”可知，后文举例，讲述了主题借鉴其他作品，所以G项“You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material.(你也可以考虑这部电影是否从其他材料中获得了灵感)”符合本段主题，后文是对此句的举例。故选G项。 39．根据前文“Analyze sound, lighting and production. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office.(分析音响、灯光及制作效果。只有当音量严重失调或配乐盖过对白时，你才会注意到音响问题；同理，只有当灯光亮如牙科诊所时，你才会意识到布光的存在)”可知，C项“Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time.(试着训练自己每次都能看到电影的这些方面)”可知，本句中“这些方面”指的就是音响、灯光及制作效果，是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选C项。 40．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences.(我们很容易陷入这样的思维陷阱，认为客观存在着好坏之分。但是，如果你发现自己喜欢一部别人似乎不喜欢的电影，这并不一定表明你的品味有问题。它可能是一部电影的幽默感与你自己的幽默感一致，或者一部电影反映了你的生活经历)”可知，本段主要讲述，电影的好坏是主观的印象而不是客观的，所以A项“Don’t forget that it’s all subjective.(别忘了这都是主观的)”符合本段主题。故选A项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I was fifteen, I tried out for the school basketball team. I had 41 for months, waking early to shoot hoops. I was confident I would 42 it. When the list 43 , I searched for my name. I wasn’t there. I felt 44 . For days, I wanted to quit basketball 45 . “What was the 46 in practising for it?” I thought. Then my father sat me down. “Look,” he said, “this is just one 47 closing. But there are other doors. If you stop now, you’ll never know what you could achieve.” His words 48 in my mind. I decided to keep practicing, not just for the 49 , but for myself. I joined a community league and played every weekend. I wasn’t the star player, but I improved gradually. The next year, I 50 again. This time, I made it.

He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy. When I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard. Several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) effortlessly. I asked him if I could try a chin-up. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking... Once...then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear. The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn’t do them at all. He further told me that if I practiced every day, I would be doing five or six in no time. I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day at the gym. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. With each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing. One day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you’ve come a long way in such a short time. I believe it’s time to set a new goal for yourself.” I asked, “What do you have in mind?” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive (连续不断的) chin-ups? I have no doubt that you can achieve it with your insistence.” 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 both excited and nervous about this new challenge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, one morning, it happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was both excited and nervous about this new challenge. Ten chin-ups seemed like a significant leap from where I had started, but the belief my trainer had in me fueled my determination. I accepted the challenge and got to work. Every morning, I pushed myself harder than before. The numbers slowly climbed: three, four, five and then seven chin-ups. It was challenging, but I remembered the lesson that I had learned. The most difficult tasks can be achieved through consistent effort and belief in oneself. Finally, one morning, it happened. I pulled myself up to the bar and completed ten consecutive chin-ups. I couldn’t contain my excitement and joy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. I achieved my goal through persistence. I had made it a reality. As I continue my fitness journey, I carry this lesson with me: No matter how daunting the obstacle may seem, the belief and persistence can help me overcome it. It’s not just about physical strength but also about mental fortitude and the power of setting and achieving goals. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在健身房健身时，看见健身教练在做引体向上，出于好奇，作者也加入了这项锻炼的活动，一开始作者只能做几个，教练不断鼓励他，给他设置了连续10个引体向上的目标，并相信作者能实现。从这次经历中，作者领悟到鼓励对一个人的成功至关重要的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“面对这个新的挑战，我既兴奋又紧张。”可知，第一段可描写作者接受新挑战——10个引体向上——的经过，及为了实现目标作者所做的努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，一天早上，它发生了。”可知，第二段可描写作者终于通过坚持不懈的努力达到了目标和感悟。 2.续写线索：面对新挑战既兴奋又紧张——教练对我的信任激发了我的决心——接受挑战——不断地训练——实现了目标——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激发，点燃：fuel/stimulate/stir ②完成，实现：achieve/accomplish ③抑制：contain/restrain 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/pleasure/delight ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1].
