新疆昌吉回族自治州第一中学2026-2027学年高三上学期8月月考英语试卷

昌吉州一中2027届高三第一次月考英语试卷 答案详解（听力部分除外） 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） BABCA CBACC BACAB ACBAC 第二部分 阅读理解 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A篇（NPR学生播客挑战赛） 21. 【答案】D. April 28. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段"This year's competition will open for entries on January 6, 2023 and close on April 28."可知，播客比赛报名从1月6日开始，到4月28日截止。题干问"handing in your podcast的截止日期"，对应close on April 28，故选D。 【考点】细节理解题——直接信息定位 22. 【答案】C. Teachers. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段"Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who's 18 years old or older."可知，参赛作品必须由教育工作者（educator）或18岁以上的学生领袖提交。educator与teachers（教师）同义替换，故选C。A项"所有班长"范围过大且未提及18岁限制；B项"任何学生"错误，需18岁以上且为学生领袖；D项"父母"未提及。 【考点】细节理解题——同义替换推理 23. 【答案】B. They must be well structured and edited. 【解析】细节理解题（排除法）。根据评分标准第一部分"Information and structure, 40 percent"及"Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly?"可知，参赛作品需要结构清晰、经过编辑删减。A项错误，原文为"maximum length... within eight minutes"（不超过8分钟），而非"more than eight minutes"；C项错误，原文为"Some podcasts may use a narration format. Others may be more of an interview format."（两种形式均可），而非必须采用采访形式；D项错误，原文"we don't expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound"，未要求特殊音效。 【考点】细节理解题——正误判断排除 B篇（谷猫头鹰教育大使） 24. 【答案】A. He agreed readily. 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段"When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising 'the babies' I was overjoyed!"可知，当主管问作者是否愿意抚养小猫头鹰时，作者"overjoyed"（欣喜若狂），说明他欣然同意了请求。B项"拒绝"与原文相反；C项"不情愿地答应"是第二段对教育任务的态度，而非对最初抚养请求的反应；D项"质疑意图"未提及。 【考点】推理判断题——情绪态度推断 25. 【答案】D. Condemned. 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段上下文，"For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me."作者对留下一只猫头鹰做教育动物感到愤怒。接着主管建议"before I denounced the plan... I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment"——在____这个计划之前，先去体验看看。结合"angered"（愤怒）可推知denounced意为"谴责、强烈反对"，与condemned（谴责）同义。A项finished（完成）、B项evaluated（评估）、C项changed（改变）均不符合语境。 【考点】词义猜测题——上下文逻辑推断 26. 【答案】C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段"The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot."可知，孩子们从未见过本地区常见的猫头鹰和负鼠，很多人甚至没听说过虎猫，说明他们对周围的野生动物几乎一无所知。A项"经常探索户外"与原文相反；B项"热衷于养动物"未提及；D项"自愿加入教育项目"未提及。 【考点】细节理解题——归纳概括 27. 【答案】A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl's future. 【解析】主旨大意题（标题归纳）。文章讲述了作者从愤怒到理解的转变过程：一只猫头鹰没有被放归野外，而是被留下来做"教育大使"，通过走进课堂让孩子们认识野生动物、培养对自然的尊重——这实际上是在更深远地守护猫头鹰物种及整个野生动物的未来。A项精准概括了这一核心立意。B项"拯救世界从拯救一只猫头鹰开始"过度拔高；C项"地球的未来掌握在孩子手中"偏离了猫头鹰这条主线；D项"放归野外不是终点"未抓住教育功能这一核心。 【考点】主旨大意题——标题归纳 C篇（怀旧偏差/Rosy Retrospection） 28. 【答案】A. Having a preference for good memories. 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段"This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details."可知，rosy retrospection指的是人们回忆过去时更倾向于关注积极的、美好的总体印象，而非令人烦恼的细节，即"偏好美好回忆"的认知偏差。B项"准确记住细节"与原文相反；C项"专注于不可能的事"未提及；D项"客观思考过去"与"cognitive bias"（认知偏差）矛盾。 【考点】词义猜测题——定义解释法 29. 【答案】A. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句"It's always a good idea to review our nostalgic feelings with a healthy degree of doubt."可知，作者建议以健康的怀疑态度来审视怀旧情绪，即"批判性地回顾"（review...critically），with a healthy degree of doubt与critically同义。B项"完全忽视"错误，原文不是让我们完全抛弃怀旧；C项"慷慨原谅不可接受的行为"是rosy retrospection可能导致的后果，而非作者鼓励的做法；D项"勇敢回到问题关系中"与作者建议相反。 【考点】细节理解题——句意转换 30. 【答案】C. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. 【解析】段落大意题。最后段首句"But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing."即为本段主题句：怀旧偏差也有其重要作用——它让我们保持积极心态，对心理健康至关重要。后文进一步论证了总是记住负面经历的人更容易出现心理问题。A项"当下不快乐的好借口"是作者反对的；B项"记住过去细节的准确性"与本段无关；D项"回忆过去的负面影响"是前文内容，不是本段主旨。 【考点】段落大意题——主题句定位 31. 【答案】D. Objective. 【解析】观点态度题。作者对rosy retrospection的态度是辩证的、客观的：既指出了其负面影响（影响决策、让人轻易回到问题关系、原谅不可原谅的行为），也阐述了其正面作用（保持积极心态、有益心理健康），最后给出平衡建议——"Don't shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But... don't use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present."既不否定也不推崇，态度客观。A项negative（消极的）、B项cautious（谨慎的）、C项favorable（赞成的）均只反映了一面。 【考点】观点态度题——整体倾向判断 D篇（假新闻与"证词"机制） 32. 【答案】D. We trust in our friends. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段"But then, here's your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it."可知，在酒桌上听到令人震惊的消息时，我们之所以倾向于相信，是因为说话的是我们的好朋友，他把自己的声誉都押上了——本质上是出于对朋友的信任。A项"我们已经证实了"错误，原文为"unproven story"；B项"我们可能喝醉了"未提及；C项"我们觉得令人惊讶"是消息的特点，不是我们相信它的原因。 【考点】细节理解题——因果关系 33. 【答案】B. The talk in a restaurant. 【解析】指代题。根据第三段"This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony. It's similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent."可知，it指代的是与法庭证词（courtroom testimony）相对的、日常的、非正式的证词——即第二段举的例子：朋友在外面喝酒/聚餐时谈论未经证实的消息。B项"餐厅里的谈话"最符合这一语境。A项"法庭上的陈述"是被对比的对象；C项"犯罪证据"未提及；D项"哲学家的证词"是对概念来源的说明，不是it所指。 【考点】指代题——上下文就近原则 34. 【答案】C. We will identify with them readily. 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段"The information they share is just too attractive to ignore — especially when it is about our existing political beliefs."可知，社交媒体上的内容之所以容易被相信，是因为当信息符合我们已有的政治信念时，它就显得格外有吸引力，我们会轻易地认同（identify with）这些信息和发布者。A项"我们容忍他们的行为"不是相信内容的原因；B项"社交媒体发布了奇怪的规定"是客观描述，不是我们容易相信的主观原因；D项"社交媒体不检查信息"是假新闻存在的原因，不是我们个人容易相信的原因。 【考点】推理判断题——深层原因推断 35. 【答案】B. How Incorrect Information Arrives. 【解析】主旨大意题（标题归纳）。文章从哲学的"证词"（testimony）概念切入，解释了人们为何会相信二手信息，进而分析了社交媒体上假新闻产生和传播的机制——全文围绕"错误信息是如何产生、如何被我们接收和相信的"展开。B项"错误信息是如何产生的"最贴切。A项"如何解决假新闻"错误，文章未提出解决方案；C项"获取什么信息"偏离主题；D项"证词何时打扰观众"过于片面。 【考点】主旨大意题——标题归纳 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36. 【答案】E. Yet, we often adore the people most for their personality traits 【解析】逻辑衔接题。前文讲"在我们这个以年轻为导向的文化中，外在吸引力常常被放在首位"，后文说"让我们来看看关于内在美与外在美的一些真相"。空格处需要一个承上启下的转折句。E项"然而，我们常常最崇拜人们的个性品质（personality traits）"中的Yet与前文形成转折，personality traits对应后文的inner beauty，自然引出下文对内外在美的探讨。 【考点】七选五——段中逻辑衔接（转折关系） 37. 【答案】C. Subjective outer beauty, universally visible inner beauty 【解析】小标题归纳题。空格为本段小标题。后文阐述："外在美因人而异，不同的人觉得不同的特征有吸引力。相比之下，内在美往往被广泛欣赏。"这正好对应C项"主观的外在美，普遍可见的内在美"——subjective对应varies greatly among individuals，universally visible对应widely appreciated。 【考点】七选五——段落主旨概括 38. 【答案】D. In contrast, you don't need a cent to cultivate inner beauty 【解析】逻辑衔接题。前文讲"外在美可以通过金钱来实现——整容、化妆、染发、锻炼、调整衣橱"，后文讲"你可以通过图书馆、在线视频或学术资源免费学习各种科目"。前后形成鲜明对比：外在美需要花钱，内在美可以免费获得。D项"相比之下，培养内在美一分钱都不需要"承上启下，don't need a cent对应后文的free。 【考点】七选五——段中逻辑衔接（对比关系） 39. 【答案】G. Even better, they can be developed by anyone in any circumstances 【解析】指代衔接题。空格前一句"A giving heart and sincere care for others are two unparalleled qualities."提到了两种品质（一颗给予的心和对他人真诚的关怀）。G项"更好的是，任何人在任何情况下都可以培养这些品质"中的they指代前文的two unparalleled qualities，Even better递进语气也衔接自然。 【考点】七选五——指代关系衔接 40. 【答案】F. Inner beauty and outer beauty are not enemies but companions 【解析】逻辑衔接题。后文"They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person."中的They需要在前文找到指代对象。F项"内在美和外在美不是敌人，而是伙伴"引入了两个概念（内在美和外在美），与后文"They coexist..."完美衔接——既然是伙伴，就会共存共舞。 【考点】七选五——指代关系衔接（总分结构） 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41. 【答案】B. joy 【解析】语境呼应题。前文"Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine"中的enjoyment（乐趣）与本空形成呼应。句意：大约十年前，我在从头开始制作美味佳肴中找到了巨大的快乐。loss（失落）、courage（勇气）、trouble（麻烦）均不符合enjoyment对应的情感色彩。 【考点】完形填空——上下文原词复现/情感呼应 42. 【答案】C. accidents 【解析】语境推断题。后文"including a few unfortunate cuts"（包括几次不幸的割伤）是对本空的举例说明。割伤属于做饭时发生的"事故"。choices（选择）、treatments（治疗）、questions（问题）均无法与unfortunate cuts构成合理的举例关系。 【考点】完形填空——后文举例解释 43. 【答案】A. hesitant 【解析】逻辑推理题。因为发生了割伤等事故，作者对做饭变得"犹豫"了。hesitant（犹豫的）符合受伤后怕再次受伤的心理。excited（兴奋的）、curious（好奇的）、ready（准备好的）均与"受伤"的语境相反。 【考点】完形填空——因果逻辑推断 44. 【答案】B. cooking 【解析】语境呼应题。前文说作者因为事故对做饭犹豫了，所以"逐渐远离了____"，后文说"更多地依赖丈夫做饭或外卖"。既然依赖别人做饭，说明自己远离了"做饭"这件事。cleaning（清洁）、hospital（医院）、restaurant（餐厅）均不符合上下文主线。 【考点】完形填空——主线词汇复现 45. 【答案】D. rediscover 【解析】语境理解题。前文讲作者因为事故远离了烹饪，本句用however转折："然而最近，我决定____我对烹饪的热爱，而这带来了改变。"rediscover（重新发现、重新找回）最符合——作者要重新找回曾经的热爱。convey（传达）、test（测试）、forget（忘记）均不符合转折逻辑。 【考点】完形填空——转折语义理解 46. 【答案】A. injuring 【解析】语境呼应题。前文"Memories of past accidents with my hands remained"（过去手部事故的记忆依然存在），所以出现的恐惧应该是"再次伤到自己"的恐惧。injuring（伤害）与accidents、cuts形成呼应。excusing（原谅）、blaming（责备）、changing（改变）均不符合。 【考点】完形填空——上下文因果呼应 47. 【答案】D. cost 【解析】固定搭配题。"the cost of living"是固定表达，意为"生活成本"。句意：然而，随着生活成本持续上涨，我意识到只依赖餐厅是不可持续的。level（水平）、value（价值）、quality（质量）均不与of living构成表示"生活开支"的常用搭配。 【考点】完形填空——固定搭配 48. 【答案】C. determination 【解析】语境理解题。作者因为怕受伤和生活成本上涨两个原因，最终"带着____重新走进了厨房"。determination（决心）最符合——克服恐惧、下定决心重新开始。energy（能量）、dream（梦想）、pleasure（快乐）均不如determination能体现"克服恐惧重新开始"的意味。 【考点】完形填空——语境情感判断 49. 【答案】B. recipe 【解析】语境推断题。后文"Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon（红酒炖牛肉）"是一道经典菜肴/食谱。句意：一个真正重新点燃我烹饪热情的____是茱莉亚·查尔德的红酒炖牛肉。gift（礼物）、idea（想法）、advertisement（广告）均不能指代一道菜。 【考点】完形填空——语境词义推断 50. 【答案】C. attempted 【解析】语境理解题。前文"当电影《朱莉与朱莉娅》上映时，我爱上了烹饪"，通过but转折——"但从未____过这道经典法国菜"。attempted（尝试）最符合：电影让作者爱上了烹饪，但作者本人从来没有真正动手做过这道菜。sold（卖）、mentioned（提到）、accepted（接受）均不符合。 【考点】完形填空——转折逻辑理解 51. 【答案】A. labor 【解析】固定搭配题。"a labor of love"是英语固定习语，意为"出于热爱而做的事、心甘情愿做的事"。句意：这当然是一件出于爱的劳作，需要大量时间、耐心和对细节的关注。rule（规则）、mark（标志）、promise（承诺）均不构成此搭配。 【考点】完形填空——固定习语 52. 【答案】D. patience 【解析】并列关系题。空格与time（时间）、attention to detail（对细节的关注）并列，都是做红酒炖牛肉所需的品质。patience（耐心）最符合——慢炖牛肉需要耐心。space（空间）、belief（信念）、caution（谨慎）均不如patience贴切。 【考点】完形填空——并列逻辑判断 53. 【答案】C. step 【解析】语境理解题。"From seasoning the beef with salt and pepper to mixing it with wine"（从用盐和胡椒给牛肉调味到与酒混合）——这些都是做菜的"步骤"。step（步骤）最符合。dish（菜肴）、event（事件）、secret（秘密）均不能指代"从……到……"的操作过程。 【考点】完形填空——语境词义判断 54. 【答案】B. accomplishment 【解析】语境理解题。第一次成功做出一道复杂的经典菜肴，给作者带来的是"成就感"。accomplishment（成就、完成）与sense搭配（a sense of accomplishment 成就感）最符合语境。relief（解脱）、warmth（温暖）、responsibility（责任）均不如accomplishment贴切。 【考点】完形填空——情感语境判断 55. 【答案】A. burden 【解析】对比关系题。后文"it can be a form of self-expression"（它可以是一种自我表达的形式）与前文形成对比——"烹饪不一定是一种____，它可以是自我表达。"burden（负担）与self-expression（自我表达）形成合理对比。surprise（惊喜）、regret（遗憾）、danger（危险）均不能与self-expression构成对比关系。 【考点】完形填空——对比逻辑判断 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. 【答案】a 【解析】考查冠词。句意：泉州木偶戏的精妙之处在于……它是一项国家级非物质文化遗产，起源于秦朝福建泉州。此处泛指"一项"国家级非物质文化遗产，且national以辅音音素 /n/ 开头，故用不定冠词a。 【考点】冠词用法——泛指 57. 【答案】originated 【解析】考查动词时态。that引导定语从句修饰heritage，从句中有明确的过去时间状语"in the Qin Dynasty"（在秦朝），故用一般过去时，originate的过去式为originated。句意：它起源于秦朝的福建泉州。 【考点】动词时态——一般过去时 58. 【答案】where 【解析】考查定语从句。先行词为"the Chinese Traditional Culture Museum in Beijing"（地点），关系词在从句中作地点状语（at the museum, a skilled puppeteer controlled...），故用关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句。 【考点】定语从句——关系副词where 59. 【答案】dancing 【解析】考查非谓语动词（现在分词）。固定结构feature sb./sth. doing sth. 意为"以某人/某物做某事为特色"。robot dog与dance之间是主动关系，故用现在分词dancing作宾语补足语。句意：另一场表演则以一只机器狗随着木偶节奏跳舞为特色。 【考点】非谓语动词——现在分词作宾补 60. 【答案】launched 【解析】考查非谓语动词（过去分词）。competition与launch之间是被动关系（大赛是"被"泉州市政府发起的），故用过去分词launched作后置定语，相当于which was launched。句意：该活动标志着由泉州市政府发起的创新设计大赛的开幕。 【考点】非谓语动词——过去分词作定语 61. 【答案】to promote 【解析】考查非谓语动词（不定式）。固定搭配aim to do sth. 意为"旨在做某事、目的在于做某事"。句意：旨在推广该城市丰富的文化遗产和地方艺术。 【考点】非谓语动词——不定式（固定搭配） 62. 【答案】strategically 【解析】考查副词。空格处修饰形容词important，需用副词形式。strategic的副词为strategically，意为"战略性地"。句意：作为海上丝绸之路具有战略重要性的港口。 【考点】词性转换——副词修饰形容词 63. 【答案】and 【解析】考查连词。"a center of trade"（贸易中心）与"home to envoys and business people"（使者和商人的家园）是并列关系，共同作Quanzhou的表语，故用并列连词and连接。 【考点】连词——并列关系 64. 【答案】to 【解析】考查介词。固定搭配be open to sb./sth. 意为"对……开放"。句意：该大赛现在对参赛者开放。 【考点】介词——固定搭配be open to 65. 【答案】traders 【解析】考查名词复数。trader是可数名词，此处指"外国商人们"，不止一个，故用复数形式traders。句意：Zayton是古代外国商人对泉州的称呼。 【考点】名词——复数形式 第四部分 写作 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 题目要求：你是高中生李华，校英文报刊Teen Voice开辟栏目Teenage Life，面向全校学生征稿，内容包含①高中遇到的一项挑战；②你的应对方式；③你的感悟。词数100左右。 【参考范文】 When senior high school began, the biggest challenge I faced was the heavy academic load, especially in maths. I often struggled to finish my exercises on time and felt anxious about falling behind. To deal with this, I made a detailed study plan. Instead of staying up late, I previewed lessons before class, asked my teacher for help whenever I got stuck, and joined a study group where we discussed difficult problems together. Gradually, I gained confidence and improved my grades. This experience taught me that challenges are not barriers but chances to grow. With determination and the right methods, we can turn pressure into motivation and become a better version of ourselves. 【范文评析】 ① 内容完整：涵盖了挑战（学业压力大、数学困难）、应对方式（制定计划、预习、请教老师、学习小组）、感悟（挑战是成长的机会）三个要点。 ② 语言亮点：使用了"struggle to do""deal with""get stuck""turn...into...""a better version of ourselves"等丰富表达。 ③ 结构清晰：三段式结构，第一段点题，第二段展开，第三段升华，符合征稿类作文要求。 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 题目要求：根据材料内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数150左右。 【参考范文】 My mother's statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. I slowed down my pace, my steps heavy and my heart unsure. Every step felt like a struggle. I even considered turning back and heading home. Just as I was about to give up, the elderly Chinese gentleman appeared on the opposite side of the trail as usual. He looked at me, smiled warmly, and said in broken English, "You very good... you very fast." His eyes were bright and encouraging, as if he truly meant every word. Upon hearing the man's words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. The discouragement from my mother's words began to fade away. I smiled back and nodded gratefully. From that moment on, I ran with a lighter heart. Every morning when I met the old man, we would exchange greetings, and his simple praise became the best part of my day. This year, the New York Marathon is my goal. Whenever negative thoughts enter my mind, I will remember the kind gentleman who believed in me — a stranger who turned a doubtful morning into a journey of strength. 【续写思路解析】 第一段：围绕开头语"My mother's statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket."展开——描写作者跑步时的低落状态、内心挣扎，以及遇到那位中国老人的场景。老人说出"You very good... you very fast."呼应原文铺垫。 第二段：围绕开头语"Upon hearing the man's words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step."展开——描写作者重拾信心、继续跑步，以及这位老人的鼓励如何影响他最终走向纽约马拉松的目标，呼应全文开头的主题句。 【评分要点】 ① 与原文情节衔接紧密，呼应了"kind gentleman""You very good... you very fast""New York Marathon"等原文线索。 ② 两段开头语使用正确，内容连贯，情感变化自然（从沮丧到被鼓励到坚定）。 ③ 使用了比喻（like a giant blanket）、细节描写（steps heavy, heart unsure）等手法，语言丰富。 ④ 结尾升华主题，点出陌生人的善意如何改变一个人，与原文主旨呼应。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高三英语听力部分，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Text one, excuse me, could you tell me where I can have my watch fixed?

Welcome to this tour of David and college. As a senior here, I could tell you all about my experiences in classrooms and labs, but I think I would be most valuable to talk about the campus as we walk around outside to get an overall field of this amazing place. Over to my left is the library. And besides, being the main place for students do research for papers is also where a lot of students hanging out between classes, there are computers and comfortable chairs everywhere. And on each floor, there are areas that do not require you to be quiet. Perhaps this is why our students like IT so much down the road. To my right is the student center, which is where students can buy coffee, snacks and official Davidson college clothing. The student center is open until ten o'clock P. M on school night night, and until two o'clock AM on weekend nights. Cars and jam, which is named after one of David's son's most famous professors, is open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You can play almost every sport you can imagine there. And there are health classes like yoga and group dance every day except wednesday. The best part about the gym is the cost. Students pay a usually fee of fifty, and they get to use of facilities as much as they want. All right, we're coming up to the stadium now. Good afternoon. Welcome to this tour of David and college.

第一人称单数I 语言风格: 真诚平实，贴近高中生生活，兼具叙事性与启发性，符合青少年表达习惯 结构设计表 段落 结构设计要点 内容要点展开 避坑指南 开头段 情境引入 点明核心 选取高一入学后不适应英语课全英文授课作为核心挑战，开头用第一堂英语课听不懂内容的场景切入，自然引出核心叙事主题。 避免开头生硬提及投稿目的，避免虚构脱离高中生实际的挑战，避免开头铺垫过长偏离主题。 主体段 叙述应对过程 补充细节支撑 应对方式可从三个角度展开：1. 每天抽15分钟听课本配套英文音频，模仿发音适应语速；2. 课前提前预习课文核心词汇，标注难懂表达；3. 主动向英语老师请教听力提升的实用技巧。可补充一个月后基本跟上课堂进度的具体成果作为细节支撑。 避免应对方式过于空泛，仅提及努力却无具体做法；避免时态混乱，描述过往经历时误用一般现在时；避免虚构不符合实际的特殊待遇类应对方式。 结尾段 阐述个人感悟 升华主题 感悟可从三个角度切入：1. 遇到挑战无需逃避，拆解为小目标逐个突破更高效；2. 高中的挑战本质是自我成长的契机，克服后能收获强烈的成就感；3. 找对方法比盲目付出更重要。最后可自然呼应栏目主题，给同龄读者传递正向启发。 避免感悟过于空洞喊口号，避免引入未提及的全新经历，避免结尾过度拔高脱离高中生的真实身份。 语言策略 【话题词块】 struggle with all-English

我在母亲来访的最后一天出门晨跑，因母亲提到知名跑者离世的言论深受打击，开始怀疑跑步的意义，情绪十分低落 原文重难点词汇 negative 消极的，负面的 (既形容我所处的工作环境充满负面情绪，也指代我收到的负面评价，为后文晨跑对我的重要性做铺垫) beneficial 有益的，有好处的 (说明晨跑对长期处于负面环境的我有调整身心的作用，突出我坚持跑步的原因) warmly 热情地，温暖地 (形容年长中国男士回应我问候时的神态，凸显其友善的性格，为后文他鼓励我的情节做铺垫) recount 详细叙述，讲述 (体现我试图向母亲解释跑步的益处，反驳母亲的消极言论，表现我原本对跑步的认可) contributing factor 促成因素，影响因素 (说明跑步是知名跑者比家人更长寿的重要原因，表现我对跑步价值的笃定，与后文我的动摇形成反差) shake

我今年的目标是参加纽约马拉松，平时在湾区长期坚持晨跑，以此调整负面工作环境带来的坏情绪。这天是母亲来访的最后一天，我准备出门跑步时，母亲提起知名跑者跑步时离世的事，表达对跑步的不认可。我出门后一直没法摆脱母亲的话，越跑越气馁，甚至开始怀疑跑步的意义，还担心自己会像父亲一样突发心脏病。 提示句翻译 提示句1 ： 母亲的话像一张巨大的毯子，一直压在我的心头。 提示句2 ： 听到那位男士的话后，我感到脚下多了一股莫名的力量。 续写情节推理 关键思考过程： 由提示句2可知，听到那位男士的话后，我感到脚下多了一股莫名的力量，所以第一段要体现：1. 我跑步时遇到了常碰面的年长中国男士；2. 年长中国男士主动对我说出了肯定鼓励的话语。 第一段 （情绪低落+偶遇长者）：母亲的话像一张巨大的毯子，一直压在我的心头。我跑得越来越慢，几乎要停下脚步，这时我看到那位熟悉的年长中国男士走到我身边，他看着我T恤上的汉字，笑着对我说了肯定的话语，我愣了几秒才反应过来他是在鼓励我。 第二段 （重拾信心+坚定目标）：听到那位男士的话后，我感到脚下多了一股莫名的力量。我笑着向他道谢，继续向前跑去，脑海里之前的消极想法全部消散，我越发清晰地感受到跑步给我带来的快乐，也更加坚定了要完成纽约马拉松的目标。 小结： 整体围绕我因母亲的消极言论对跑步产生动摇，偶遇常碰面的年长中国男士得到鼓励后重拾信心、坚定纽约马拉松参赛目标的经历展开。 场景词汇 低落情绪类 sink into

This year’s competition will open for entries on January 6, 2023 and close on April 28. As in past years, our judges will choose winners in two categories: grades five through eight and grades nine through twelve. Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who’s 18 years old or older. Another important rule is that the maximum length of your podcast is within eight minutes, and longer entries will be disqualified. Our judges will use the following criteria to narrow down and choose the winners: Information and structure, 40 percent Does the podcast tell a good story or teach us something new and important? Is it structured in a way that keeps listeners engaged? Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining? Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly? Personality and creativity, 40 percent Does it have personality, or does it sound like you’re reading from a script (脚本)? Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought? Production, 20 percent We’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try. Some podcasts may use a narration (讲述) format. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, make sure it is clear and smooth. 21. What is the deadline for handing in your podcast? A. January 6. B. February 18. C. March 26. D. April 28. 22. Who are qualified to submit the podcast to the competition? A. All monitors. B. Any student. C. Teachers. D. Parents. 23. What is a requirement for the entries? A. They should be more than eight minutes. B. They must be well structured and edited. C. They have to adopt an interview format. D. They must be produced with special sound effects. B Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding. However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go. Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light. That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador. 24. How did the author react to the director’s request? A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes. D. He questioned his intention. 25. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned. 26. What did the author find about the school children? A. They explored the outdoors often. B. They were keen on raising an animal. C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future. B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl. C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children. D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end. C We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we are in low spirits. Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details. If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words, the negative details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain. Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt. But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present. 28. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Having a preference for good memories. B. Remembering exactly about the details. C. Concentrating on impossible things. D. Thinking objectively about the past: 29. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4? A. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically. B. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely. C. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously. D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely. 30. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The good excuse for present unhappiness. B. The accuracy of remembering past details. C. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. D. The negative impact of recalling past experiences. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Objective. D Technology caused the problem of false news, and it’s easy to think that technology can solve it and that we only need to find the right technology to solve the problem. But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge. To understand how false news comes, start with an example. Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词). It’s similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent. Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information. Most of our knowledge about the world is secondhand knowledge that comes to us through testimony. After all, we can’t each do all of our own scientific research, or make our own maps of distant cities. Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news. On Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, people don’t always mean what they say, and we don’t always expect them to. A the informal Twitter: advertisement goes: “A retweet (转发推文) is not an approval.” When a well-known politician was caught retweeting false statistics about race and crime, he told Fox News it wasn’t a big deal: “Am I gonna check every statistic? All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me.” Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore — especially when it is about our existing political beliefs. 32. Why do we tend to believe surprising news over drinks? A. We’ve confirmed it. B. We may be drunken. C. We find it amazing. D. We trust in our friends. 33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The statement in court. B. The talk in a restaurant. C. The evidence of a crime. D. The testimony of a philosopher. 34. Why is it easy for us to believe the content producers on social media? A. We are tolerant of their actions. B. Social media have issued odd regulations. C. We will identify with them readily. D. Social media don’t check the information. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. How to Fix False News B. How Incorrect Information Arrives C. What Information to Acquire D. When Testimony Disturbs Audience 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others. 36 . Let’s take a look at some truths about inner beauty vs outer beauty. ● 37 Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example. While opinions on her physical attractiveness differed, everyone was impressed by her willingness to help others. ● Largely uncontrollable outer beauty, cultivable inner beauty Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments. 38 .

I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.” At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise. Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake. And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly. As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point. As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all? Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.” 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
