Teen acting twins Madeline and Chelsea are at the height of their fame when one of them disappears. Chelsea steps away from the spotlight — until twenty-five years later, when she realises Madeline could still be alive. This is O’Neill at her best, mixing a thrilling plot with sharp commentary on fame, power, and men’s bad behaviour. The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke (HQ, £16.99, out 7th April). A group of writers are invited to crime author Arthur Fletch’s Scottish island, only to find him dead. Each guest must write an ending to his much-anticipated unfinished book — then they realise they are being killed off one by one. I love the multiple perspectives, the island setting, and the way the tension builds so brilliantly. The Drowning Place by Sarah Hilary (Harvill, £16.99, out 16th April). Detectives Joseph and Laurie are very different. He is the only survivor of a school bus crash and has lived in Edenscar his whole life. She has just arrived in the quiet Peak District town with her husband to care for his ill father. When a cruel crime takes place, the two must work together and face horrible memories from the past. Vivid, moody, and unsettling — I could not put it down. No Such Thing as Monday by Siân Hughes (The Indigo Press, £14.99, out 16th April). Steffie’s father spends his life terrorising his family. When he dies, she feels lost. The loss brings back memories of her childhood and how badly her sister was treated. The cruel realism reminds me of Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain. Despite being a short book, it packs in the emotional power and says so much about grief and guilt. 1. Which of the novels is set on an island? A. The Drowning Place B. The Ending Writes Itself C. Whatever Happened to Madeline Stone D. No Such Thing as Monday 2. What is probably the theme of Shuggie Bain? A. A community crime. B. A mysterious killing. C. A terrible childhood. D. A rise-to-fame story. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To share a link of online books. B. To recommend good books. C. To compare different book prices. D. To invite readers to a book club. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】短文推荐了四本新书，并分别介绍每本书的内容、特色与看点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A group of writers are invited to crime author Arthur’ Scottish island, only to find him dead.(一群作家被邀请到犯罪小说作家亚瑟·弗莱奇所在的苏格兰岛屿，却发现他已死亡)”可知，《结局自己书写》这本书的故事背景设定在一个岛上。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Steffie’s father spends his life terrorising his family. When he dies, she feels lost. The loss brings back memories of her childhood and how badly her sister was treated. The cruel realism reminds me of Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain.(斯特菲的父亲一生都在恐吓他的家人。他死后，斯特菲感到迷茫。这种失去让她回忆起童年以及妹妹受到的恶劣对待。这种残酷的现实主义让我想起道格拉斯·斯图尔特的《舒吉·贝恩》)”可知，《没有星期一这回事》中关于童年悲惨经历的残酷现实主义描写让人想起《舒吉·贝恩》，所以《舒吉·贝恩》的主题可能是糟糕的童年。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“This month’s BEST BOOKS(本月精选好书)”可知，文章由文学编辑分享本月最喜欢的读物，分别介绍了四本书的内容，目的是推荐好书。 B Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 4. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 5. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 6. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A. Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在高三时对大学申请和成功定义的反思，不再盲目追随他人选择大量AP课程，而是基于个人兴趣选课，并从失败的小组面试中学习，通过自我调整最终获得领导职位。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? (在整个高三期间，我和我的同学们一直担心，当大学将我们的整个人生故事浓缩成一篇200字的短文时，他们会看到什么。当他们回顾我们的成就时，脑海中会浮现出‘成功’这个金灿灿的词汇吗？还是会看到用红色标注的‘失败’这个醒目的大字？)”可知，作者在高三年级主要担心的是大学对他们的认可。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”可知，作者选择较少的AP课程是因为她自己对成功的理解。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. (然而，这次面试并不是一次浪费的机会。我和一位高年级的申请者交谈，她回答问题的方式反映了她对自己的信心。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. (今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者认为第一次面试是有收获的，因为它让作者从中学到了东西，并影响了她后来的面试表现。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. (今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者通过自己的经历表明，成功并非由大学或外界标准定义，而是源于自我认知与努力。“Everyone is the maker of their own success. (每个人都是自己成功的创造者。)” 符合题意。故选A。 C Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics. Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride. Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics. 9. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water? A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time. C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water. 10. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4? A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem. C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water. 11. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于减少自来水中微塑料污染的新研究。微塑料污染已遍及全球，甚至进入人体。中国研究人员发现，将自来水煮沸五分钟并冷却后过滤可能会显著降低自来水中的微塑料含量。研究虽未涵盖所有塑料类型和化学物质，但揭示了一种潜在解决方案。苏格兰环境工程师指出，该研究展示了煮沸法的有效性，并建议升级饮用水处理厂以推广应用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. (微塑料已经成为地球上常见的污染源——它们出现在在深海和喜马拉雅山上，被困在火山岩中，填满海鸟的胃，甚至落在南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现了在人类体内)”可推知，作者通过举例提出微塑料污染的问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. (至关重要的是，这一过程依赖于含有足够碳酸钙的水来截留塑料。在这项研究中，将含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水煮沸后，塑料含量下降了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中，煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量)”可知，决定在水中截留微塑料的有效性的是水的硬度。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly diffcult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. (尽管如此，研究结果显示了减少微塑料接触的潜在途径——这一任务正变得越来越困难。今年早些时候，科学家们发现，即使是瓶装水，其微塑料含量也比原先想象的高出10到1000倍。)”可推断，作者提到瓶装水是为了说明微塑料污染的严重性。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” (苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay没有参与这项研究，她告诉《新科学家》杂志：“他们展示微塑料如何在煮沸过程中被截留的方式很不错。”“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂，以便它们能去除微塑料”)”可推知，Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于这项研究结果的潜在应用，即升级饮用水处理厂。故选D。 D As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 12. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 13. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 14. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 15. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是锻炼对于心脏的好处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的““Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart.(“想想橡皮筋。一开始，它是灵活的，但把它放在抽屉里20年，它就会变得干燥，很容易破碎，”德克萨斯大学的心脏专家本·莱文博士说。这就是心脏的变化。)”可知，莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.(第一组每周参加三次非有氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练。第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。)”可知，两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.(第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。两年后，第二组的心脏健康状况有了显著改善。)”和第四段的““We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.(莱文说:“我们把这些50岁的心脏的时钟拨回30或35岁的心脏。”)”可知，莱文的研究发现了通过有氧运动，中年人的心脏会变得更年轻，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.(但这项研究的规模很小，需要在更大的人群中重复进行，以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响。)”可知，妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。故选C。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dr. Diego Ramonfaur, a 30-year-old medical resident in Ohio, often faces changing work schedules. With shifts that change frequently, maintaining a regular sleep pattern is impossible. ____16____ Basically, it is a strategy of getting extra sleep before periods of sleep deprivation (缺乏). Sleep banking, also known as sleep extension, means following a healthy sleep schedule to build willpower before facing insufficient sleep. According to Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist at Harvard Medical School, this practice is recommended for people with demanding jobs, such as doctors, soldiers, or professionals facing busy periods. ____17____ However, Dr. Yo-El Ju, a sleep physician at WashU Medicine, notes that sleep banking is somewhat misleading. “You can’t really bank sleep, but you can pay off the debt,” she explains. ____18____ You reduce your sleep debt in advance so you can stay awake longer later. She suggests going to bed 15 minutes earlier each night, adding about 90 minutes of extra sleep per week before a demanding period. ____19____ Studies show it helps with simple tasks like pressing a light quickly, but not with complex executive (执行的) functions such as driving safely while handling multiple tasks. Additionally, people with insomnia (失眠症) should avoid this practice, as lying awake in bed can cause more frustration. Experts emphasize that sleep banking is only a temporary solution. ____20____ For better sleep habits, setting a bedtime alarm can help create a relaxing wind down routine. At the end of the day, healthy, consistent sleep remains the ultimate goal for everyone. A. It’s like using a credit card. B. To cope, he has turned to sleep banking. C. It doesn’t seem to boost executive functioning. D. It is a long term solution for sleep deprivation. E. While sleep banking has its health benefits, it has limitations. F. The goal is to prepare the body and mind for upcoming challenges. G. Once the busy period ends, returning to a normal sleep schedule is essential. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要说明了睡眠储蓄可提前补觉应对睡眠不足，但效果有限且并非人人适用，它只是临时办法，规律健康睡眠才是最佳选择。 【16题详解】 根据前文“With shifts that change frequently, maintaining a regular sleep pattern is impossible. (由于轮班安排频繁变化，想要保持规律的睡眠模式是根本不可能的)”以及后文对“sleep banking”的解释可知，医生采取了睡眠储蓄的方法来应对。B选项“为了应对这种情况，他开始采用‘睡眠储蓄’的方法。”承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Sleep banking, also known as sleep extension, means following a healthy sleep schedule to build willpower before facing insufficient sleep. According to Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist at Harvard Medical School, this practice is recommended for people with demanding jobs, such as doctors, soldiers, or professionals facing busy periods.(“睡眠储蓄”或“延长睡眠时间”指的是按照健康的睡眠规律进行作息，以此来培养意志力，以应对睡眠不足的情况。哈佛医学院的睡眠科学家丽贝卡·罗宾斯博士表示，这种做法推荐给那些工作压力大的人群，比如医生、军人或者面临繁忙工作时段的专业人士)”可知，该段先定义“睡眠储蓄”为在睡眠不足前建立意志力的方法，随后指出该做法被推荐给工作强度大的人群。此处空格应承接上文，进一步说明推荐这一做法的目的。F选项“目标是为身心迎接即将到来的挑战做好准备”与“build willpower”形成逻辑呼应，且为前句“recommended for people with demanding jobs”提供了合理的原因。 【18题详解】 根据前文““You can’t really bank sleep, but you can pay off the debt,” she explains.(她解释道：“你不能真正储蓄睡眠时间，但你可以偿还睡眠的‘欠款’。)”以及后文“You reduce your sleep debt in advance so you can stay awake longer later.(你提前减少睡眠欠款，这样之后就能保持更长时间的清醒状态)”可知，此处用信用卡透支与还款来类比。A选项“这就像是使用信用卡一样”符合类比逻辑。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Studies show it helps with simple tasks like pressing a light quickly, but not with complex executive (执行的) functions such as driving safely while handling multiple tasks. Additionally, people with insomnia (失眠症) should avoid this practice, as lying awake in bed can cause more frustration.(研究表明，这种方法有助于完成一些简单的动作，比如快速按下开关，但对于诸如安全驾驶并处理多项任务这类复杂的执行功能则不起作用。此外，患有失眠症的人应避免这种做法，因为清醒着躺在床上会带来更多烦躁情绪)”可知，本段应引出睡眠储蓄的局限性。E选项“虽然睡眠储蓄具有一定的健康益处，但也有其局限性”承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Experts emphasize that sleep banking is only a temporary solution.(专家们强调，睡眠储蓄只是一个暂时的解决方案)”以及后文“For better sleep habits, setting a bedtime alarm can help create a relaxing wind down routine. At the end of the day, healthy, consistent sleep remains the ultimate goal for everyone.(为了养成更好的睡眠习惯，设置就寝闹钟有助于形成一种放松的睡前准备流程。每天结束时，健康且稳定的睡眠才是每个人最终的追求目标)”可知，忙碌期结束后应恢复正常作息。G选项“一旦忙碌的时期结束，重新恢复正常的作息时间尤为重要”符合逻辑。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18. Six months ago, he was on his way to Florida when he ____21____ a public piano at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. He played a few notes. It was the worst piano he’d ever played. He decided to come back some day to tune it for free. As his flight would stop in Chicago again, he scheduled an eight-hour layover (中转停留). After ____22____ the airport to make sure the piano was still there, he arranged to mail his piano-tuning equipment to the airport. Upon arriving, he found the piano in very ____23____ shape — dust was everywhere, and there was a gluey substance under the keys that prevented them from working. He ____24____ the reason why the piano was such a mess — it was next to a bar and people had spilled (洒落) drinks on the keys. The cleaning was a big challenge. That left him with about 45 minutes before he’d have to ____25____ to catch his flight. So he did the fastest tuning. He then played a bit of “Pirates of the Caribbean”: the piece that inspired him to ____26____ the piano when he was younger. Even with a quick tuning, the piano sounded really good. He ____27____ had time to admire his work, but he had achieved his goal: the transformation of the piano. It was again ready to be played by anyone with a few minutes to spare ____28____ flights. He left a sign on the piano — “No drinks near piano, please!” A video was posted on TikTok showing how he cleaned and tuned the piano, which has received more than 1,500 comments. “So glad the piano is ____29____, thank you for bringing a new life to the piano!” one person wrote. “I’m ____30____ that people are playing the piano again,” Jackson told a news reporter, “Piano tuners are becoming more and more rare, and I’m one of the few who could fix it.

Formal education was disapproved of in her family — her parents believed that school would corrupt (破坏) her natural instincts. Tara spent her childhood working alongside her parents: helping her father in his scrapyard (废料场) to collect and sort metal. Books were rare in their home, and Tara’s learning was limited to what her parents chose to teach her, mostly practical skills for survival. As Tara grew older, she accidentally found some old textbooks left by hikers and began to read them secretly. Her curiosity about the outside world and formal education deepened. At the age of 16, she decided to change her life and pursue formal learning,a decision that created tension within her family. College life was not easy. With no formal schooling background, she had to make up for years of missed education. It was a journey filled with obstacles and moments of self-doubt. The idea of sitting in a college classroom, surrounded by students who talked about things she had never heard of, seemed almost impossible at first. Yet, she persevered, driven by a strong desire to understand the world and grow as a person. Entering college, Tara faced not only academic challenges but deep-seated fears from her upbringing. But Tara was lucky to find teachers who recognized her potential. They guided her patiently, helped her make up for her knowledge gaps, and encouraged her to believe in herself. She started to see herself as more than her past — she was a capable learner who could achieve great things. Over time, Tara’s endurance paid off. Looking back, Tara realized her journey was not just about gaining knowledge — it was about facing challenges bravely, breaking free from limitations, and having the courage to redefine who she really was. 52. What was Tara’s family’s attitude towards formal education? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 53. Why did Tara decide to pursue formal education at 16?(no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 54. What challenges did Tara face when she entered college? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What does the underlined word “persevered” mean in Para. 3?(no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What can we learn from Tara’s story?(no more than 25 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】52. They were against it. / They disapproved of it. / Disapproving. 53. She was curious about the world and eager to learn. /Her curiosity about the outside world and formal education deepened. 54. She faced academic challenges and fears from her upbringing. / 55. Persisted/ Keep going/Continued/ Held on... 56. We should face challenges bravely and break free from limitations to achieve our goals. /Perseverance and courage can help us overcome difficulties and change our lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在爱达荷州偏远山区长大、未接受过正规教育的Tara，凭借对外部世界和知识的好奇，16岁时决心追求正规教育，克服学业和心理等诸多挑战，最终实现自我突破与成长的故事。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Formal education was disapproved of in her family — her parents believed that school would corrupt (破坏) her natural instincts. (她的家庭不赞成正规教育——她的父母认为学校会破坏她的本能)”可知，Tara的家人对正规教育持反对、不赞成的态度。故填They were against it. / They disapproved of it. / Disapproving. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“As Tara grew older, she accidentally found some old textbooks left by hikers and began to read them secretly. Her curiosity about the outside world and formal education deepened. At the age of 16, she decided to change her life and pursue formal learning. (随着Tara长大，她偶然发现了一些徒步旅行者留下的旧课本，并开始秘密阅读。她对外部世界和正规教育的好奇心日益浓厚。16岁时，她决定改变自己的生活，追求正规的学习)”可知，Tara16岁决定追求正规教育的核心原因是对外部世界和正规教育的好奇心增强，或对世界充满好奇且渴望学习。故填She was curious about the world and eager to learn. / Her curiosity about the outside world and formal education deepened. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Entering college, Tara faced not only academic challenges but deep-seated fears from her upbringing. (进入大学后，Tara不仅面临学业上的挑战，还有来自成长经历的根深蒂固的恐惧)”可知，Tara进入大学后面临的挑战是学业挑战和成长带来的恐惧。故填She faced academic challenges and fears from her upbringing. 【55题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中的“It was a journey filled with obstacles and moments of self-doubt. The idea of sitting in a college classroom, surrounded by students who talked about things she had never heard of, seemed almost impossible at first. Yet, she persevered, driven by a strong desire to understand the world and grow as a person. (这段旅程充满了障碍和自我怀疑的时刻。一开始，坐在大学教室里，周围的学生谈论着她从未听过的事情，这似乎几乎是不可能的。然而，在强烈的求知欲和个人成长的渴望驱使下，她persevered)”可知，yet表转折，前文提及诸多困难，后文应是她没有放弃、坚持了下来，故persevered意为“坚持、继续”。故填Persisted/ Keep going/Continued/ Held on... 【56题详解】 开放问题。结合文章内容，答案逻辑清晰且符合字数要求即可。例如：根据最后一段中的“Looking back, Tara realized her journey was not just about gaining knowledge — it was about facing challenges bravely, breaking free from limitations, and having the courage to redefine who she really was. (回首往事，Tara意识到她的旅程不仅仅是获取知识——更是关于勇敢面对挑战、摆脱束缚、有勇气重新定义真正的自我)”及全文内容可推断，从Tara的故事中我们能学到：要勇敢面对挑战、摆脱束缚，或坚持与勇气能帮助我们克服困难、改变生活等。故填We should face challenges bravely and break free from limitations to achieve our goals. / Perseverance and courage can help us overcome difficulties and change our lives. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 威海实验高中 08 级高一下学期第三次诊断性考试 英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Teen acting twins Madeline and Chelsea are at the height of their fame when one of them disappears. Chelsea steps away from the spotlight — until twenty-five years later, when she realises Madeline could still be alive. This is O’Neill at her best, mixing a thrilling plot with sharp commentary on fame, power, and men’s bad behaviour. The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke (HQ, £16.99, out 7th April). A group of writers are invited to crime author Arthur Fletch’s Scottish island, only to find him dead. Each guest must write an ending to his much-anticipated unfinished book — then they realise they are being killed off one by one. I love the multiple perspectives, the island setting, and the way the tension builds so brilliantly. The Drowning Place by Sarah Hilary (Harvill, £16.99, out 16th April). Detectives Joseph and Laurie are very different. He is the only survivor of a school bus crash and has lived in Edenscar his whole life. She has just arrived in the quiet Peak District town with her husband to care for his ill father. When a cruel crime takes place, the two must work together and face horrible memories from the past. Vivid, moody, and unsettling — I could not put it down. No Such Thing as Monday by Siân Hughes (The Indigo Press, £14.99, out 16th April). Steffie’s father spends his life terrorising his family. When he dies, she feels lost. The loss brings back memories of her childhood and how badly her sister was treated. The cruel realism reminds me of Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain. Despite being a short book, it packs in the emotional power and says so much about grief and guilt. 1. Which of the novels is set on an island? A. The Drowning Place B. The Ending Writes Itself C. Whatever Happened to Madeline Stone D. No Such Thing as Monday 2. What is probably the theme of Shuggie Bain? A. A community crime. B. A mysterious killing. C. A terrible childhood. D.

B Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 4. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 5. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 6. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A. Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. C Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics. Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride. Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics. 9. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water? A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time. C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water. 10. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4? A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem. C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water. 11. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings. D As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 12. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 13. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 14. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 15. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dr. Diego Ramonfaur, a 30-year-old medical resident in Ohio, often faces changing work schedules. With shifts that change frequently, maintaining a regular sleep pattern is impossible. ____16____ Basically, it is a strategy of getting extra sleep before periods of sleep deprivation (缺乏). Sleep banking, also known as sleep extension, means following a healthy sleep schedule to build willpower before facing insufficient sleep. According to Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist at Harvard Medical School, this practice is recommended for people with demanding jobs, such as doctors, soldiers, or professionals facing busy periods. ____17____ However, Dr. Yo-El Ju, a sleep physician at WashU Medicine, notes that sleep banking is somewhat misleading. “You can’t really bank sleep, but you can pay off the debt,” she explains. ____18____ You reduce your sleep debt in advance so you can stay awake longer later. She suggests going to bed 15 minutes earlier each night, adding about 90 minutes of extra sleep per week before a demanding period. ____19____ Studies show it helps with simple tasks like pressing a light quickly, but not with complex executive (执行的) functions such as driving safely while handling multiple tasks. Additionally, people with insomnia (失眠症) should avoid this practice, as lying awake in bed can cause more frustration. Experts emphasize that sleep banking is only a temporary solution. ____20____ For better sleep habits, setting a bedtime alarm can help create a relaxing wind down routine. At the end of the day, healthy, consistent sleep remains the ultimate goal for everyone. A. It’s like using a credit card. B. To cope, he has turned to sleep banking. C. It doesn’t seem to boost executive functioning. D. It is a long term solution for sleep deprivation. E. While sleep banking has its health benefits, it has limitations. F. The goal is to prepare the body and mind for upcoming challenges. G. Once the busy period ends, returning to a normal sleep schedule is essential. 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

Formal education was disapproved of in her family — her parents believed that school would corrupt (破坏) her natural instincts. Tara spent her childhood working alongside her parents: helping her father in his scrapyard (废料场) to collect and sort metal. Books were rare in their home, and Tara’s learning was limited to what her parents chose to teach her, mostly practical skills for survival. As Tara grew older, she accidentally found some old textbooks left by hikers and began to read them secretly. Her curiosity about the outside world and formal education deepened. At the age of 16, she decided to change her life and pursue formal learning,a decision that created tension within her family. College life was not easy. With no formal schooling background, she had to make up for years of missed education. It was a journey filled with obstacles and moments of self-doubt. The idea of sitting in a college classroom, surrounded by students who talked about things she had never heard of, seemed almost impossible at first. Yet, she persevered, driven by a strong desire to understand the world and grow as a person. Entering college, Tara faced not only academic challenges but deep-seated fears from her upbringing. But Tara was lucky to find teachers who recognized her potential. They guided her patiently, helped her make up for her knowledge gaps, and encouraged her to believe in herself. She started to see herself as more than her past — she was a capable learner who could achieve great things. Over time, Tara’s endurance paid off. Looking back, Tara realized her journey was not just about gaining knowledge — it was about facing challenges bravely, breaking free from limitations, and having the courage to redefine who she really was. 52.

Why did Tara decide to pursue formal education at 16?(no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 54.
