B My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to defeat my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember. Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 4. Which can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1? A. Advantage. B. Annoyance. C. Preference. D. Confusion. 5. How did the author behave towards public speaking after leaving Toastmasters? A. He remained a shy speaker. B. He became a polished speaker. C. He began to feel less worried. D. He found things getting worse. 6. What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. He must rise up to defend his job. B. It was a good chance to learn science. C. It was a test organized by Toastmasters. D. He couldn’t bear people attacking science. 7. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A. Frustration can be stepping stones to success. B. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes. C. Enthusiasm can motivate us to achieve the unachievable. D. Any difficulty can be overcome with great efforts. C Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets,” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 8. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By using online tools. B. By learning algorithms. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 9. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. C. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 10. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B. The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution D Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience. “The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.” The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.” This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices and therefore, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.” The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other—a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “disprefer the unchosen object.” To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies. 12. What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices? A. They choose what they like. B. They like what they choose. C. They base choices on the fact. D. They make choices thoughtfully. 13. Why were babies selected as subjects for the study? A. To help them make better choices. B. To guide them to perceive the world. C. To track the root of making random choices. D. To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture. 14. What does the study on the babies show? A. They like novel objects. B. They can’t make choices for themselves. C. Their choices are mostly based on colors. D. Their random choices become preferences. 15. What will the following study focus on? A. The law of “choice overload”. B. The problem of adults’ many choices. C. Whether babies are troubled with many choices. D. Why adults can be influenced by too many choices. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since humans first fell asleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, and journeys to impossible places. ____16____ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Rites of Zhou (Zhou Li) described dream interpretation as a means of predicting the future. Dreams were believed to reveal an imbalance of yin and yang, or to signal that harmony had been restored. A dream of flowing water, for example, might stand for the continuity of life. ____17____ In Chinese philosophy, the most famous passage about dreams comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. On waking, he asked whether he was a man who had dreamed of being a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming of being a man. ____18____ This story captures the Chinese view of dreams as a space where reality and fantasy mix. ____19____ Neuroscientists link dreams to brain activity, memory, and emotion. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when our most vivid dreams occur, is now seen as vital for learning and emotional balance. Earlier psychologists read dreams very differently: for Freud, dreams fulfilled wishes; for Jung, they carried messages from a shared inner world. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ____20____ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A. This dream has been retold for centuries. B. Today, science casts light on why we dream. C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless. D. The butterfly has long stood for freedom and change. E. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture. F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone. G. Likewise, a dream of broken objects could warn of trouble. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Some people were born gifted, but I wasn’t.

And don’t guess at where it ____32____ with the rest.” A single sunflower had brought me more ____33____ than an entire field of flowers. The sunflower finally ____34____ and bloomed (开花) within me: I was a late bloomer, finally uncovering a truth we too often forget — take small steps and dreams have no ____35____ limit. 21. A. already B. still C. ever D. just 22. A. resolved B. accepted C. hesitated D. yielded 23. A. blank B. strange C. rough D. painted 24. A. trends B. chores C. tests D. basics 25.

With his best friends, he started a band — Luis on drums and Ruben on guitar. Each day, Eddie hurried to Luis’s house to practice, carrying the heavy accordion case and worrying about Ruben. Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band, Ruben hated practicing alone. He was always late, and he made constant mistakes — a growing problem for the band. Then Luis brought an envelope from the Tejano Music Festival: they were invited to perform in just two months. The boys celebrated wildly, but Eddie’s joy was mixed with anxiety, hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice. That night, Eddie shared the news with his family. His father, a former festival winner, showed him a trophy (奖杯) with “First Place” written on it and encouraged him, “You belong there, and you will shine.” When Eddie told him about Ruben, his father advised, “Find out why he won’t practice alone and help him.” At their next practice, Ruben got the festival song wrong from the very beginning. He said his fingers hurt from building a hut (简陋的小屋), but Luis accused him of skipping practice. Ruben got annoyed, and Eddie was angry. Following his father’s advice, Eddie asked Ruben why he didn’t play at home as he should. Ruben admitted, “My guitar sounds lonely alone, and I can’t focus.” Upon learning the truth, Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben. On the way to Luis’s, Eddie came up with a plan: practice together at Ruben’s house every day. Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben’s favorite pizza as a surprise. 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。 With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the big day came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年秋学期高三年级10月统一练习（英语） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 4. Which can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1? A. Advantage. B. Annoyance. C. Preference. D. Confusion. 5. How did the author behave towards public speaking after leaving Toastmasters? A. He remained a shy speaker. B. He became a polished speaker. C. He began to feel less worried. D. He found things getting worse. 6. What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. He must rise up to defend his job. B. It was a good chance to learn science. C. It was a test organized by Toastmasters. D. He couldn’t bear people attacking science. 7. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A. Frustration can be stepping stones to success. B. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes. C. Enthusiasm can motivate us to achieve the unachievable. D. Any difficulty can be overcome with great efforts. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者长期受公众演讲恐惧困扰，后因疫情中科学遭攻击决心发声，最终成功演讲并获得成长的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“I tried to defeat my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.(我一生中曾多次试图克服公开演讲的恐惧。在大学和刚开始工作的那几年，每当我要做演示或主持会议时，我都会变得异常紧张。从我记事起，公开演讲就一直是我的克星)”可知，作者多次尝试克服公开演讲的恐惧，做演示或主持会议时会异常紧张，说明公开演讲是让他困扰的事物。“nemesis”在此处意为“令人困扰的事物”，与“Annoyance(烦心事，困扰)”意思相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.(然后在我 35 岁左右时，我决定加入一个名为Toastmasters的公开演讲社团。每次会议上，我们都会接受评分，还必须和其他演讲者竞争奖项。你可能会觉得，经历过这些之后，我应该能成为一名娴熟的演讲者，但似乎毫无效果)”可知，作者加入Toastmasters后，并未成为娴熟的演讲者，结合前文他对公开演讲的恐惧，可推断离开该社团后，他在公开演讲方面依然胆怯。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out.(直到最近，在疫情期间，科学和科研机构因不公正的原因受到攻击，我才决定必须站出来发声)”可知，作者在地球日想要发声，是因为无法忍受人们对科学的攻击。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible.(在将近40岁的时候，我明白了热情能在我心中燃起火焰，让我去做那些我从未想过可能做到的事情)”可知，作者从这次成功的演讲中领悟到，热情可以激励人们去实现原本认为无法做到的事情。故选C项。 C Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets,” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 8. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By using online tools. B. By learning algorithms. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 9. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. C. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 10. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B. The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了斯坦福大学商学院副教授Daniela Saban关于“匹配市场”的研究，通过在线约会平台和志愿者匹配平台的案例，阐述了合理设计的算法如何提升匹配过程的公平性与有效性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法).(但随着人们越来越多地借助数字平台寻求机会，斯坦福大学商学院运营、信息与技术领域的副教授Daniela Saban表示，现在是时候审慎审视算法所扮演的角色了)”可知，如今人们通过使用在线工具，例如各类应用程序、数字平台来寻找机会。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes.(通过分析该应用程序的数据，Saban开发了一个模型，它不仅会依据用户的偏好对潜在匹配对象进行优先级排序，还会考虑到潜在匹配对象的另一方是否可能对此感兴趣。Saban指出：“我不仅想给你推荐你会喜欢的人，还想给你推荐也会喜欢你的人。”)”可知，Saban为约会应用开发的模型核心在于兼顾双方的偏好，即注重双向偏好匹配。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities.(一些机构收到的报名人数多得难以应对，有时甚至超出了实际需求，而另一些机构却根本难以吸引到任何志愿者。Saban及其团队通过调整搜索算法，将机构所需志愿者数量与已招募到的志愿者数量纳入考量，从而得以确保志愿者能在各类志愿机会间实现更合理的分配)”可知，Saban调整VolunteerMatch算法的依据是平衡志愿者的供需关系，即机构的需求与已有的志愿者供给。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that.(无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇指出人们依赖数字平台寻找机会，进而引出Saban关于算法在“匹配市场”中作用的研究；随后通过在线约会平台（提升双向匹配成功率）和志愿者匹配平台（平衡志愿者供需）两个具体案例，说明合理设计的算法能优化匹配效果；最后总结“如果我们希望算法发挥积极作用，就需要在设计时做出有意识的选择”，全文核心围绕C选项“设计算法以实现更好的匹配”展开，适合用作标题。故选C项。 D Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience. “The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.” The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.” This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices and therefore, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.” The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other—a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “disprefer the unchosen object.” To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies. 12. What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices? A. They choose what they like. B. They like what they choose. C. They base choices on the fact. D. They make choices thoughtfully. 13. Why were babies selected as subjects for the study? A. To help them make better choices. B. To guide them to perceive the world. C. To track the root of making random choices. D. To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture. 14. What does the study on the babies show? A. They like novel objects. B. They can’t make choices for themselves. C. Their choices are mostly based on colors. D. Their random choices become preferences. 15. What will the following study focus on? A. The law of “choice overload”. B. The problem of adults’ many choices. C. Whether babies are troubled with many choices. D. Why adults can be influenced by too many choices. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，人类对事物的偏好并非总是选择的原因，有时反而是选择的结果。这种心理现象在婴儿身上同样存在，揭示了人类决策机制的深层原理。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“People assume they choose things that they like.(人们认为他们选择的是自己喜欢的东西。)”可知，人们普遍假设选择行为是基于个人喜好的。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices and therefore, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”(问题在于人们究竟从什么时候开始这样做。所以他们转向研究婴儿，因为婴儿没有太多选择，因此，正如Feigenson所说，这是“探究这种倾向起源的完美窗口”)”可知，选择婴儿作为研究对象是为了追溯人类做出随机选择这一行为的根源。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段中“After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they ‘dis-prefer the unchosen object.’(在婴儿选择了其中一个玩具后，研究人员把它拿走，然后带着一个新的玩具回来。然后，婴儿可以从他们第一次没有玩的玩具中选择一个，或者一个全新的玩具。他们的选择表明他们“不喜欢未选择的物体”。)”可知，婴儿的随机选择会转化为偏好，对未选择的物品产生排斥。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.(对成年人来说，选择是好事，但太多选择可能是个问题，因此实验室将尝试确定这对婴儿是否也适用。)”可知，后续研究将聚焦于婴儿是否会因选择过多而感到困扰。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since humans first fell asleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, and journeys to impossible places. ____16____ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Rites of Zhou (Zhou Li) described dream interpretation as a means of predicting the future. Dreams were believed to reveal an imbalance of yin and yang, or to signal that harmony had been restored. A dream of flowing water, for example, might stand for the continuity of life. ____17____ In Chinese philosophy, the most famous passage about dreams comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. On waking, he asked whether he was a man who had dreamed of being a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming of being a man. ____18____ This story captures the Chinese view of dreams as a space where reality and fantasy mix. ____19____ Neuroscientists link dreams to brain activity, memory, and emotion. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when our most vivid dreams occur, is now seen as vital for learning and emotional balance. Earlier psychologists read dreams very differently: for Freud, dreams fulfilled wishes; for Jung, they carried messages from a shared inner world. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ____20____ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A. This dream has been retold for centuries. B. Today, science casts light on why we dream. C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless. D. The butterfly has long stood for freedom and change. E. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture. F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone. G. Likewise, a dream of broken objects could warn of trouble. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍古今不同文化对梦的解读，讲述古人的梦境观念与现代科学对梦的研究。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Since humans first fell asleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, and journeys to impossible places.(自从人类第一次入睡，梦就一直萦绕并吸引着我们。夜晚，画面不请自来：逝去的亲人、说谜语的神明，还有去往虚幻之地的旅程)”以及空后的“They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul.(它们是启示与幻象，是宇宙向灵魂低语的秘密语言)”可知，后文代词They指代空格内句子的dreams，后文阐述梦是宇宙传递的信息，说明古人认为梦具备特殊含义。空格处需要提出古人认为梦不是无意义的，C选项“To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless.(对古人而言，梦从来都不是毫无意义的)”衔接前后文，引出下文古人对梦的理解。其余选项不符合本段古人观点的开篇逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“A dream of flowing water, for example, might stand for the continuity of life.(例如，梦见流水可能象征生命的延续)”可知，本句是举例说明不同梦境对应不同预兆，句中for example提示此处是举例论证，空格需要并列补充另一个梦境例子，G选项“Likewise, a dream of broken objects could warn of trouble.(同样，梦见破碎的物品可能预示麻烦将至)”中Likewise用来引出同类例子，和前文流水的例子构成并列，保持段落举例结构一致。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“He once dreamed he was a butterfly. On waking, he asked whether he was a man who had dreamed of being a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming of being a man.(他曾梦见自己变成一只蝴蝶。醒来后，他疑惑自己究竟是梦见化蝶的人，还是此刻正在做梦化为人的蝴蝶)”以及空后的“This story captures the Chinese view of dreams as a space where reality and fantasy mix.(这个故事体现了中国人的梦境观：梦是现实与幻想交融的空间)”可知，前文介绍庄周梦蝶的完整典故，后文用This story指代这个典故。A选项“This dream has been retold for centuries.(这个梦已经被传颂了数百年)”里This dream指代庄周梦蝶这件事，承接典故，引出后文对故事内涵的解读，实现前后指代呼应。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“Neuroscientists link dreams to brain activity, memory, and emotion. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when our most vivid dreams occur, is now seen as vital for learning and emotional balance.(神经科学家将梦与大脑活动、记忆和情绪联系在一起。会产生最清晰梦境的快速眼动睡眠，如今被认为对学习和情绪平衡至关重要)”可知，本段全部围绕现代科学家、心理学派对梦的科学研究展开，空格是段首主题句，总领整段。B选项“Today, science casts light on why we dream.(如今，科学为我们解释做梦的原因)”总起本段科学视角，开启下文科学家的研究内容。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles.(我们依旧是造梦者、探索者，解读黑夜谜题的人)”以及空后的“We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence.(我们与神明、先祖，与永恒的生命奥秘同行)”可知，后文“与神明、先祖同行”对应“并不孤单”的含义。F选项“The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone.(古人提醒我们，即便在睡梦中，我们也并不孤单)”承接上文人类持续解读梦境，引出后文梦里与神明先祖相伴的描述，语义连贯。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Some people were born gifted, but I wasn’t.

In my view, they offer unique advantages that offline ones cannot match. Firstly, online platforms break geographical limits. I can connect with people from different countries, learning about diverse cultures and perspectives that broaden my horizons. Secondly, it’s easier to find like-minded friends online. Sharing specific hobbies, like reading classic novels or playing musical instruments, helps build deep connections quickly. Finally, online communication allows me to be more open. When talking to strangers, I feel less pressured to hide my true thoughts. Though offline friendships are valuable, online ones enrich my life in special ways. 【参考范文2】 When it comes to making friends online or offline, I firmly stand for offline friendships. I believe real-life interactions are the foundation of genuine and lasting bonds. First of all, offline communication lets us feel each other’s emotions. Facial expressions, gestures and tones can’t be fully conveyed through screens, which helps build trust. Secondly, offline friends offer practical support: When I face difficulties, they are there to help directly, like tutoring me in studies or cheering me up in person. Last but not least, spending time together in real life creates precious memories — playing sports, going hiking or chatting over coffee — that strengthen our friendship. Online friends may be convenient, but offline ones give me the true warmth of friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就“线上或线下交友”发表观点，阐述倾向线上交友的理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 独特的：unique → distinctive 优势：advantages → merits 连接：connect → link 多样的：diverse → varied 珍贵的：valuable → precious 2. 句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：Secondly, it’s easier to find like-minded friends online.

With his best friends, he started a band — Luis on drums and Ruben on guitar. Each day, Eddie hurried to Luis’s house to practice, carrying the heavy accordion case and worrying about Ruben. Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band, Ruben hated practicing alone. He was always late, and he made constant mistakes — a growing problem for the band. Then Luis brought an envelope from the Tejano Music Festival: they were invited to perform in just two months. The boys celebrated wildly, but Eddie’s joy was mixed with anxiety, hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice. That night, Eddie shared the news with his family. His father, a former festival winner, showed him a trophy (奖杯) with “First Place” written on it and encouraged him, “You belong there, and you will shine.” When Eddie told him about Ruben, his father advised, “Find out why he won’t practice alone and help him.” At their next practice, Ruben got the festival song wrong from the very beginning. He said his fingers hurt from building a hut (简陋的小屋), but Luis accused him of skipping practice. Ruben got annoyed, and Eddie was angry. Following his father’s advice, Eddie asked Ruben why he didn’t play at home as he should. Ruben admitted, “My guitar sounds lonely alone, and I can’t focus.” Upon learning the truth, Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben. On the way to Luis’s, Eddie came up with a plan: practice together at Ruben’s house every day. Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben’s favorite pizza as a surprise. 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。 With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the big day came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. Ruben opened it, surprised but pleased. They set up in his backyard and started playing together. With Eddie’s accordion and Luis’s drums supporting him, Ruben relaxed and made fewer mistakes. The pizza break made practice feel like fun, not pressure. Ruben even asked to repeat the hardest part until his fingers moved smoothly. For the next weeks, they practiced at his house almost every day. Slowly, the song became clear and lively, and the three friends began to believe they were ready. Finally the big day came. The stage lights were bright, and Eddie felt nervous, but Ruben gave him a confident smile. When the music began, their sounds fit perfectly. Ruben’s guitar was steady, Luis’s drums were strong, and Eddie’s accordion carried the melody. The audience clapped along, and his father watched proudly from the crowd. After the last note, everyone cheered. Eddie realized the trophy was not the only prize; he had learned that true friendship means helping each other shine. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述埃迪和好友组建乐队备战音乐节，吉他手鲁本因独自练习感到孤独、频频懈怠失误。在父亲的建议下，埃迪了解到鲁本的真实困扰，和队友一起制定计划，陪伴鲁本共同练习、互相扶持，最终默契登台顺利演出，收获成长与真挚友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写埃迪和路易斯带着披萨来到鲁本家，三人一同练习，轻松的氛围让鲁本渐入佳境，乐队排练愈发默契流畅。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写音乐节正式演出，三人配合完美、圆满完成表演，收获观众喝彩，埃迪领悟互助共赢的友谊真谛。 2. 续写线索：上门陪伴——欢乐排练——渐佳状态——默契提升——登台演出——完美配合——收获喝彩——感悟友谊 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap/applaud ②帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①愉悦：pleased/delighted ②放松：relaxed/at ease 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Ruben even asked to repeat the hardest part until his fingers moved smoothly.（运用了until引导时间状语从句） [高分句型 2] With Eddie’s accordion and Luis’s drums supporting him, Ruben relaxed and made fewer mistakes.（运用了with复合结构作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
