He walked over to Lauren and said something to her, then something to her teammates. In a minute, Lauren was in the game. My heart doubled its beat, watching wide-eyed. Just then, all across the stands, fans were on their feet clapping for Lauren. Our Lauren! Lauren kept pace with the others fairly well. The visitors scored again. With less than a minute left, Lady Tigers was controlling the ball. I saw the point guard shout and flash a signal to her teammates.       Then a teammate passed Lauren the ball. She caught it and moved toward the goal. Amazingly, the opposing team did not block her. She shot. She scored! "Lauren, Lauren, Lauren," chanted the cheerleaders. At length, Lady Tigers lost by seventeen points. Several minutes later, Lauren joined us, "Did you see? I made a basket!" For sixteen years, I'd tried hard to keep Lauren from feeling like she was different. But from this, I saw she really was different—not physically or emotionally, but spiritually. I wrapped my arms around her tightly. Lauren was different. And I was glad. 【详细解析】 第一部分 单词练习（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 单句语法填空（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分） 1. 答案：rarely 句意：这间公寓有一股灰尘味，它的窗户很少打开。 解析：修饰动词opened，要用副词；rare（adj.稀少的）→ rarely（adv.很少，罕有）。 2. 答案：endurance 句意：在经受激烈竞争的压力之后，学校运动员们力量变强，耐力也提升了。 解析：and并列，与名词strength保持词性一致；endure（v.忍耐）→ endurance（n.耐力，忍耐力）。 3. 答案：classical 句意：几乎所有类型的音乐我都喜欢，尤其是乡村音乐和古典音乐。 解析：修饰名词music，使用形容词；classical music 固定搭配：古典音乐。 4. 答案：embarrassed 句意：如果你的一颗牙松动了，不要觉得难为情，直接去找牙医帮忙。 解析：修饰人，-ed形容词，表示“感到尴尬的”；be embarrassed 感到难为情。 5. 答案：to persuade 句意：这个女孩最终成功说服她父亲戒烟。 解析：固定搭配 manage to do sth. 设法做成某事，后面接to do不定式。 6. 答案：appreciative 句意：心怀感恩，意思就是对你所拥有的一切以及当下所处的人生道路满怀感激。 解析：and并列，和thankful（形容词）保持词性一致；be appreciative of 感激、赏识。 7. 答案：perseverance 句意：靠着坚持不懈的努力和强大的毅力，这位年轻科学家最终取得重大突破。 解析：and并列，和effort（名词）并列；persevere（v.坚持）→ perseverance（n.毅力）。 8. 答案：criticism 句意：我认为因为收到的那些批评，他感到灰心丧气。 解析：定冠词the后面接名词；criticize（v.批评）→ criticism（n.批评，指责）。 9. 答案：rejection 句意：应对被拒绝是成长必不可少的一环，它帮助我们变得更强大、更加自信。 解析：介词with后面接名词；reject（v.拒绝）→ rejection（n.拒绝，遭到拒绝）。 10. 答案：delighted 句意：收到你热情的邀请之后，我感到无比开心，毫不犹豫就接受了。 解析：系动词felt后面接形容词作表语，修饰人；delighted adj.高兴的，欣喜的。 第二节 单词拼写（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分） 11. 答案：inform（通知，告知） 句意：我们很遗憾地通知你，该职位的申请未通过，但如果你愿意，我们可以为你提供另一份工作。 解析：固定搭配 regret to do sth. 遗憾要告知某事，to后接动词原形 inform。 12. 答案：contests（竞赛） 句意：像这样同台歌唱竞赛十分有趣。 解析：singing contests 歌唱比赛，用复数表泛指这类赛事。 13. 答案：guarantees（保证） 句意：中国政府保障儿童享有免费且充足的受教育权利。 解析：主语The Chinese government是单数，一般现在时谓语动词用三单 guarantees。 14. 答案：classic（名著） 句意：读完一部长篇名著的时候，我会很有成就感。 解析：classic 名词，经典著作、名著。 15. 答案：perfume（香味） 句意：花园的空气中弥漫着各色盛开鲜花的甜美芬芳。 解析：perfume 名词，花香、芬芳（参考答案版本）。 16. 答案：orchestra（管弦乐队） 句意：我校管弦乐队将在即将到来的文化节演奏传统乐曲，欢迎前来观赏。 解析：school orchestra 学校管弦乐队。 17. 答案：worthy（值得尊敬的） 句意：对我们学生来说，向这位值得尊敬的老师表达敬意是很有意义的。 解析：worthy 形容词，值得敬重的。 18. 答案：permanent（永久的） 句意：一场车祸给她的视力造成了永久性损伤。 解析：修饰名词damage，用形容词 permanent，永久的。 19. 答案：dreads（惧怕） 句意：这个男孩不敢去想，如果这里真发生火灾会发生什么。 解析：dread to do sth. 惧怕做某事；主语the boy为单数，dreads三单形式。 20. 答案：pace（速度） 句意：随着科技发展，我们生活变化的速度正变得越来越快。 解析：the pace of change 变化的速度、节奏。 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） A 21~23. 主题：人与社会——社会 本文是应用文。文章是关于美国青少年使用AI聊天机器人和社交媒体的调查报告。 21.理解具体信息。根据题干中的use AI chatbots daily可将解题信息定位至表格中的信息：Almost constantly (4％)、Several times a day (12％)和About once a day (12％)，三者相加总和为28％，故选C项。 22.理解具体信息。根据题干关键信息most widely used可将解题信息定位至倒数第二段中的OpenAIˈs ChatGPT came out ahead by far,with 59 percent of teens saying they had used the service，该句直接表明ChatGPT以59％的使用占比遥遥领先，它是青少年使用最广的AI聊天机器人。 23.理解具体信息。根据最后一段中的WhatsApp is the only service to see a significant change in recent years ... compared with 17 percent in 2022可知，2022年青少年使用WhatsApp的人数占比为17％，当前为24％，可以看出它的受欢迎程度在不断提高，故选D项。A项（它主要被美国青少年使用）、B项（它是最佳的作业辅助应用）和C项（它很快将超过其他应用）文中均未提及。 B 24~27. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者回顾了自己在贫困中成长的经历，逐渐认识到贫困培养了他的坚韧与自尊，他反对外界对贫困的刻板印象，并为自己的人生经历感到自豪。 24.细节理解题。根据第二段内容，尤其是最后一句可知，作者在和妈妈去杂货店购物时，第一次意识到自己的家庭很穷。 25.推理判断题。根据第三段中的My mother taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself.可知，妈妈让在贫穷中长大的作者拥有了爱的能力和自信，说明她在作者的生活中扮演了重要角色。 26.观点态度题。根据第三段中的Growing up in poverty taught me perseverance. I have always believed in myself and my abilities.以及最后一段中的As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences enabled me to be resilient ...可知，贫困的经历塑造了作者坚毅、自信和有韧性的性格，他对此充满感激。 27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Hard working, ... of where Iˈm from.可推知，作者认为贫困者同样拥有优秀的品质，他为自己的出身感到自豪。 C 28~31. 语篇解读  这是一篇说明文。文章通过研究说明了科学家的奋斗故事对高中生学习科学有显著的正向影响。 28.推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，很多学生担心“自己不擅长科学”或“即使努力也无法做好”，认为能够成为科学家源于与生俱来的天赋，由此可推知他们缺乏自信，所以很难将自己想象成科学家。故选B。 29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Researchers... designed an intervention to change studentsˈ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by...”可知，这项干预的目的是改变学生认为科学成就取决于天赋而非努力的观念，即澄清学生对科学工作的误解。故选D。 30.词义猜测题。画线词所在句上文提到，在干预实验后，听奋斗故事的学生的科学成绩都有所提高；而根据画线词所在句可知，接触奋斗故事的成绩差的学生比阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上表现得明显更好，由此可推知，干预对于成绩差的学生效果尤其显著，所以“pronounced”意为“明显的，显著的”。故选B。 31.推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，尤其最后一句“By recognizing a scientistˈs struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.”可知，通过了解一个科学家的奋斗史，学生们可以在自身遭遇困境时与科学家产生共鸣，从而改变之前的对于科学工作的误解。由此可推知，科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的信念。故选C。 D 32~35. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。作者通过自身经历告诉我们，一个人的成长与其等着外部环境的改变不如改变自己，主动成长。 32.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Unfortunately，as humans...in spite of external circumstances.”可知，作者写第一段是为了强调个人努力在成长中的重要性。 33.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In other words，I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances.”可知，在过去，外部环境对作者的成长影响最大。 34.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If you want to engage in personal growth...to fall into place.”可推知，作者认为如果想要成为更好的自己，我们不能坐等一切，而是应该立即采取行动。 35.标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“Unfortunately，as humans...often in spite of external circumstances.”可知，文章主要论述了个人成长不能总依赖外部环境，更重要的是自己的努力。只有这样，不管什么条件，我们都会茁壮成长。因此，C项最适合作文章的标题。 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36~40. 【文章大意】本文介绍了如何成功地实现自己的目标。 36.空前“There are many things for you to do in order to achieve this”为了达到这个目标，你有很多事情要做”，所以选项F“设定和实现目标就是其中之一”符合语境，故选F。 37.由文章结构可知，这里是选本段的标题，根据下文“No matter what stage of life you are in, you should know what you want for your life.”无论你处于人生的哪个阶段，你都应该知道你想要什么样的人生”，可知选项C“决定你一生想要什么”适合做标题，故选C。 38. 本段标题“Make a plan and then write it down.制定一个计划，然后写下来”，下文又说道“But unless you know how to achieve those goals, it will just be a dream.除非你知道如何实现这些目标，否则这只是一个梦想”，所以选项D“你可以写下你一生想要的一切”符合语境，故选D。 39. 根据上文“Some people set 5 or 10-­year goals but leave out the time in-between.有些人设定5年或10年的目标，但中间留出时间。”明显看出E选项中in the next 5 years与之相呼应，是一个例子，故选E。 40从下文Don't waste your time.不要浪费你的时间。可看出选项A“充分利用你的时间”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分 30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题 1分，满分15分) 41~55.【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲了作者给一个小女孩提供了一个小小的帮助，从而引发的思考。 41.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：辛苦了一周后，看着家人回来度过一个温暖的周末，真是一段美好的时光。A. busy忙碌的；B. lovely可爱的；令人愉快的；C. lonely孤单的；D. memorable难忘的，值得纪念的。根据下文“go for a warm weekend”可推知看到家人们回来度过温暖的周末是令人愉快的时光。故选B。 42.考查动词词义辨析。句意：几个小时后，我决定到车的那一边去因为我将要离开。A. swimming游泳；B. watching观看；C. leaving 离开；留下；D. relaxing 放松。根据前文“I went to the beach nearby for some quality time with myself.”及下文“I and walked off the beach with a big smile. ”可知此处指作者将要离开。故选C。 43. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：她建了一个小小的沙堡，里面有一条运河，现在正试着往里面灌水。A. garden花园；B. fence篱笆；C. bridge桥；D. canal水道；运河。根据下文“was now trying to fill it with water”及语境可知小女孩在城堡旁边挖了一条水道，此时她把水填满到水道里。故选D。 44. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：不幸的是，当时没有装水的容器。A. channel频道；B. soul灵魂；C. pipe管子，管道；D. container容器；集装箱。根据下文“to carry water”及语境可知此处指没有容器装水。故选D。 45. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她不得不走到海浪中，用她的手当做杯子装水，然后走回她的小城堡。A. cup用杯子装；B. cross穿过；C. raise举起；抚养；筹集；D. spread传播。根据前文小女孩没有容器装水的细节可知小女孩只能用自己的手装水。故选A。 46. 考查副词词义辨析。句意：可悲的是，没有多少水流入水道。A.

According to Pew, 46 percent of teens use AI chatbots “several times a week” or more often, with 12 percent reporting their use at “several times a day” and 4 percent saying they use the tools “almost constantly”. Thatˈs far fewer than the 21 percent of teens who report almost constant use of TikTok and the 17 percent who say the same about YouTube. US teens ages 13-17 who use AI chatbots Frequency (频率) Percentage Almost constantly 4% Several times a day 12% About once a day 12% Several times a week 18% Less often 18% Do not use AI chatbots 36% The report also offers some insight (见解) into which AI companiesˈ chatbots are most used among teens. OpenAIˈs ChatGPT came out ahead by far, with 59 percent of teens saying they had used the service, followed by Googleˈs Gemini at 23 percent and Meta AI at 20 percent. Just 14 percent of teens said they had ever used Microsoft Copilot, and 9 percent and 3 percent reported using Character AI and Anthropicˈs Claude, respectively (分别地). Interestingly, the report also indicates there has been little change in US teensˈ social media use. YouTube is still the most widely used platform, followed by TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat. Of the major apps the report surveyed, WhatsApp is the only service to see a significant change in recent years, with 24 percent of teens now reporting they use the messaging app, compared with 17 percent in 2022. 21.What percentage of teens use AI chatbots daily? A. 12%. B. 18%. C. 28%. D. 46%. 22.Which of the following AI chatbots is most widely used among teens? A. Gemini. B. ChatGPT. C. Meta AI. D. Copilot. 23.What can we learn about WhatsApp? A. It is mainly used by US teens. B. It is the best homework help app. C. It will soon outperform other apps. D. It enjoys an increased popularity. B I grew up in a poor family. I thought everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friendsˈ cupboards were filled with the same government-labeled food that filled my cupboards. And I thought we all wore hand-me-down clothes. Not until shopping in the grocery was I aware that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were helped by the government so we could eat. In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. My mother taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in poverty taught me perseverance. I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on school and build a life that looked different from my childhood. As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences enabled me to be resilient（有韧性的）, and how to respect people for who they are as an individual—and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poverty that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These judgments come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. Hardworking, trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined are all words not typically associated with poverty. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poverty. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where Iˈm from. 24.When did the author first realize his family was poor? （） A. When he wore hand-me-down clothes. B. When he took the bus with his neighbors. C. When he used the food bank with his friends. D. When he went grocery shopping with his mom. 25.What can we infer from the third paragraph? （） A. The authorˈs mother played an important role in his life. B. The author was determined to help other poor people. C. The author felt ashamed of his poverty all the time. D. The author wanted to escape from his family in high school. 26.Whatˈs the authorˈs attitude towards his experience? （） A. Frightened. B. Grateful. C. Annoyed. D. Confused. 27.What does the author mainly want to tell us? （） A. Young people suffer a lot of pain from poverty. B. People should not be judged by their possessions. C. The government should provide more help for the poor. D. Poverty shaped his character and he is proud of his origin. C What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers①posed that question to 9th-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as "People who work hard" or "Anyone who seems interested in the field of science." Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as "Iˈm not good at science" and "Even if I work hard, I will not do well." Itˈs easy for them to see a scientistˈs work as②arising from an inborn talent. But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change studentsˈ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts. During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的) struggle stories: stories about how scientists "struggled intellectually", such as making mistakes while③addressing a scientific problem and learning from them; Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support; Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of④coexisting challenges. Researchers found that students who heard either type of "struggle stories" improved their science performance after intervention, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower-performing students, for whom⑤exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientistˈs struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情) with the scientists during their own struggles. 28.Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists? A. Because they lack interest in science. B. Because they are short of confidence. C. Because they donˈt have inborn talent. D. Because they have no ability to study science. 29.Whatˈs the purpose of the intervention? A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students. B. To expose students to scientistsˈ great achievements. C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future. D. To clear studentsˈ misunderstandings of scientific work. 30.What does the underlined word "pronounced" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Minimal. B. Noticeable. C. Doubtful. D. Long-lasting. 31.What can we learn from the research? A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts. B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories. C. Scientistsˈ struggle stories can influence readersˈ beliefs. D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists. D Personal growth doesnˈt necessarily only happen when the conditions are perfect.Seeds tend to develop only when conditions are right.A seed will remain dormant(休眠) until moisture(湿度) and temperature are favorable for growth.Unfortunately，as humans，we donˈt always have the luxury of growing when conditions are just right.Sometimes you must cultivate(促进) personal growth and flower where youˈre planted，often in spite of external(外部的) circumstances. For much of my life，I let external circumstances control my happiness.If things werenˈt going well，then I wasnˈt well.I told myself that I would be happier if conditions were right.With this mindset，I gave myself permission to stay emotionally dormant.I was waiting for things around me to change before I would do the work to become a better version of myself.In other words，I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances. The problem with waiting for change outside of yourself is that you might have to wait a very long time，maybe even forever.And if you stay dormant while waiting，you arenˈt growing.Youˈre simply stuck in place.You certainly arenˈt becoming the better version of yourself that you want to be. If you want to engage in personal growth，like planting seeds，you have to do some work to make it happen.You canˈt wait around for everything to fall into place.Start with pulling up your emotional weeds.Examine yourself and remove the pessimistic thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back.Then，work on the foundation that you have.Practice positive life habits that build your self-respect and happiness. Personal growth is something you can fight for.It may not come naturally，but when you develop this mindset，you will flower no matter where youˈre planted. 32.What is the authorˈs purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To stress the importance of personal effort in growth. B. To complain about the lack of perfect conditions. C. To highlight the influence of external circumstances. D. To compare human development and seed growth. 33.Which of the following affected the authorˈs growth most in the past? A. Personal experiences. B. Outside influence. C. Sense of timing. D. Positive thoughts. 34.What does the author advise you to do to better yourself? A. To look for the right conditions. B. To get emotionally prepared for failures. C. To stop waiting and take action. D. To keep yourself pure through gardening. 35.What is the best title for the text? A. Happiness: You Are Your Own Master B. Life Journey: Insist till Efforts Bear Fruits C. Growth: Flower in Any Circumstances D. Life Changes: The Chance Is in Your Possession 第二节 七选五(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。 Some people want to live a productive and successful life.

Sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high-school athletes. So I shouldn't have been surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls' basketball team, but I was because she has Down syndrome(唐氏综合症). My wife and I never told Lauren that she was different, treating her like our other children.    "I'm gonna play basketball, Daddy." Lauren flew into my arms when I came in from work. "That's nice, honey," I replied automatically and patted her, figuring she meant outside—on the driveway. Walking into the kitchen, I met my wife Laura, whose frown indicated I'd missed something. Laura spoke slowly, her tone steady. "She meant she's joining the girls' high-school basketball team." Just as her words sank in, I heard Lauren behind me. "I'm gonna be a Lady Tiger," she yelled, skipping into the room and throwing her arms in the air. Everything that could happen flashed through my mind. I discussed Lauren's announcement with my wife that evening and finally agreed. After all, there were only 11 girls, not everyone willing to play.    The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gymnasium. Inside, Coach Forsythe greeted us, "We're glad Lauren came out for the team. She is not just a cheerleader!" Lauren stood alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. No other girl on the court grinned（咧嘴笑）like Lauren did, and after every shot, Lauren approvingly cried, "Woo hoo!", seemingly not caring if she made the basket or not.     Mid-November, the season's first basketball game arrived. I settled into a seat with the rest of my family. The game got off to a good start, but soon Lady Tigers was behind. Lauren followed the movement on the court and reacted to every play. Even though Lauren wasn't playing, she looked as if she were having the time of her life. I felt admiration for my daughter. Plus, her team was getting beat, yet she still enjoyed the action. Just less than two minutes left, and Lady Tigers was down by seventeen points. 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。     Still in high spirits, Lauren cheered for Lady Tigers off the court.                                                                                                                                                                                                         Then a teammate passed Lauren the ball.                                                                                                                                                                                                    ​​​​​​​ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
