Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 1. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 2. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 3. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国冬季即将举办的四场跑步赛事，包括赛事日期、特色、注意事项及官方网站，为跑步爱好者提供赛事参考。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December”部分中的“Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause.(从乱糟糟的抽屉里找出头灯，参加这场夜间跑步或步行公益活动。)”可知，这场赛事是夜间举办的，其官方网站为sueryder. org。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December”部分中的“The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.(组织者优先考虑找到一条好的路线，而不是精确测量，所以这三场比赛与它们所声明的距离之间的关系相当松散。)”可知，Mapledurham赛事的独特之处在于其灵活的比赛距离。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.(即将到来的冬季为那些寻求冒险或团队精神的人提供了英国各地最精彩、最快、最艰难、最令人愉快的跑步赛事。)”以及下文对四个跑步赛事的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了英国即将到来的冬季跑步赛事，包括赛事名称、日期、特点以及相关信息查询网址，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“赛事指南”专栏。故选D。 B Niagara Falls State Park was filled with celebration and misty magic this week as a 105-year-old woman checked a major item off her list of dreams. Born in 1920, Emily Bula has lived through monumental moments in history and created a life filled with “love, laughter, polka dancing, and incredible stories”, according to a Facebook post from Niagara Falls State Park. However, there was still one adventure she hadn’t experienced. That adventure was getting up close to the roaring Niagara Falls aboard the legendary Maid of the Mist. That dream became a reality thanks to the teamwork of Harris Hill Nursing Facility and the staff of the Maid of the Mist. On the morning of July 24th, Emily boarded the tour boat surrounded by family, nursing home staff, and supporters. “Emily Bula… fulfilled her life-long dream of riding the legendary Maid of the Mist!” the park’s post reads. “With help from the amazing team at Harris Hill Nursing Facility and the Maid of the Mist, Emily boarded the all-electric boat this morning surrounded by loved ones, staff, and supporters — proving it’s never too late to chase a dream.” As the boat edged closer to the base of Horseshoe Falls, Emily experienced the powerful spray (浪花) firsthand. The moment was not just emotional for Emily and her family, but also for everyone watching. For those unfamiliar, the Maid of the Mist is a must-do boat tour operating out of Niagara Falls State Park since 1846. The tour offers visitors a thrilling experience as it takes them right into the basin of the falls. As for Emily, she’s now part of an elite (精英) group. She joins the ranks of America’s oldest citizens. According to the Gerontology Research Group, the oldest living person in the United States is currently over 115 years old. Emily Bula may not hold the record just yet, but with her spirit and energy, she’s certainly one of the most inspiring. Happy 105th birthday, Emily! 4. What was on Emily’s list of life-long dreams? A. To get close to the base of Horseshoe Falls. B. To tour the world on the Maid of the Mist. C. To visit Niagara Falls on the Maid of the Mist. D. To get aboard the Maid of the Mist with her family. 5. How did Emily feel when approaching the Horseshoe Falls? A. Excited. B. Horrified. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 6. What can we learn about the Maid of the Mist? A. It is a brand new, all-electric boat. B. It takes visitors directly to the top of the falls. C. It is specifically designed for senior citizens. D. It has been operating since the mid-19th century. 7. Why does the author mention the record of the Gerontology Research Group? A. To identify Emily’s real age. B. To introduce America’s elite group. C. To highlight Emily’s achievements. D. To show the average age of Americans. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位百岁老人在众人帮助下实现毕生梦想的暖心故事。 【4题详解】  细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, there was still one adventure she hadn’t experienced. That adventure was getting up close to the roaring Niagara Falls aboard the legendary Maid of the Mist. (然而，有一项冒险她还没有经历过。那场冒险就是乘坐传说中的“雾中少女号”近距离观赏气势磅礴的尼亚加拉大瀑布)”可知，Emily毕生的梦想是乘坐“雾中少女号”游览尼亚加拉大瀑布。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As the boat edged closer to the base of Horseshoe Falls, Emily experienced the powerful spray firsthand. The moment was not just emotional for Emily and her family, but also for everyone watching. (当船慢慢靠近马蹄瀑布底部时，Emily亲身感受到了强劲的水花。这一刻不仅对Emily和她的家人来说是激动人心的，对所有观看的人来说也是如此。)”可知，Emily靠近马蹄瀑布时心情是兴奋激动的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“For those unfamiliar, the Maid of the Mist is a must-do boat tour operating out of Niagara Falls State Park since 1846. (对于那些不熟悉的人来说，“雾中少女号”是一项从1846年开始就在尼亚加拉瀑布州立公园运营的必体验游船项目。)”可知，该游船从19世纪中期开始运营。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“According to the Gerontology Research Group, the oldest living person in the United States is currently over 115 years old. Emily Bula may not hold the record just yet, but with her spirit and energy, she’s certainly one of the most inspiring. (据老年学研究小组称，美国目前最长寿的人已超过115岁。Emily Bula可能还没有创下纪录，但以她的精神和活力，她无疑是最鼓舞人心的人之一。)”可知，作者提及老年学研究小组的记录是为了突出Emily的成就——以105岁高龄实现梦想的精神令人敬佩。故选C。 C Why Keep a Failure Log? At Northbridge School, the robotics club keeps two records. The first is the familiar success board: photographs of working machines and certificates from competitions. The second is less impressive at first glance. It is a shared “failure log” filled with broken wheels, unstable code and ideas that never left the sketchbook. The log began when club mentor Ana Patel noticed that students were hiding unsuccessful trials. Teams would quietly replace a design and later forget why the earlier version had failed. As a result, another group might repeat the same mistake. Patel asked students to record three things after each important test: what they expected, what actually happened and what they would change next. Blame and excuses were not accepted as explanations. The purpose is not to make failure fashionable. A weak attempt does not become valuable merely because it failed. Value appears when a learner studies the gap between intention and result. For that reason, entries such as “the robot was terrible” are returned to the writer. An entry like “the left wheel slipped because its surface was smooth; test rubber bands next” can guide action. The log has also changed discussion inside the club. During weekly meetings, students now begin with a “useful surprise” — a result that challenged an assumption. Because everyone, including the mentor, contributes examples, admitting uncertainty feels less like losing status. Students still want their robots to work, but they are more willing to show unfinished thinking and ask for help earlier. A failure log cannot remove disappointment, and it should not turn every goal into an endless project. If repeated tests provide no new information, the team may need to change its method or even redefine the task. The record is therefore not a museum of mistakes. It is a map showing which roads have been tried and where a better route might begin. 8. Why did Patel introduce the failure log? A. Students cared too much about certificates. B. Teams refused to test unfinished machines. C. The success board had become difficult to update. D. Useful lessons from failed trials were being lost. 9. Which entry would probably be accepted? A. “Our idea failed, but no one is responsible.” B. “The robot was terrible and should be forgotten.” C. “The sensor reacted late; move it closer and retest.” D. “We expected to win because we worked very hard.” 10. What change has the log brought to club discussions? A. Students compete to report the biggest failure. B. Students share uncertainty more openly. C. Mentors give fewer suggestions. D. Teams avoid discussing unfinished work. 11. Why does the author call the log “a map”? A. It records past routes and supports the next decision. B. It gives every team the same destination. C. It proves that persistence always produces success. D. It ranks mistakes from small to serious. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍机器人俱乐部建立失败日志的原因、写法以及它带来的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The log began when club mentor Ana Patel noticed that students were hiding unsuccessful trials. Teams would quietly replace a design and later forget why the earlier version had failed. As a result, another group might repeat the same mistake.(这份日志始于俱乐部导师Ana Patel注意到学生们隐瞒失败的尝试。小组会悄悄更换设计，之后忘记旧版本失败的原因。结果另一组可能重复同样的错误。)” 可知，Patel推行失败日志是因为失败尝试里有用的经验教训正在丢失。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“An entry like “the left wheel slipped because its surface was smooth; test rubber bands next” can guide action.(像“左轮打滑，因为表面光滑；接下来测试橡皮筋”这样的记录能够指导后续行动。)” 可知合格的记录要写明问题和下一步改进方案。C选项 “The sensor reacted late; move it closer and retest.(传感器反应迟缓；把它移近一点，重新测试。)” 写明故障与改进措施，符合要求。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The log has also changed discussion inside the club. During weekly meetings, students now begin with a “useful surprise” — a result that challenged an assumption. Because everyone, including the mentor, contributes examples, admitting uncertainty feels less like losing status. Students still want their robots to work, but they are more willing to show unfinished thinking and ask for help earlier.(这份日志也改变了社团内部的讨论氛围。每周例会时，学生会以一项“有用的意外发现” 作为开场 —— 即一个挑战固有设想的实验结果。因为包括指导老师在内的所有人都会分享案例，承认自己的不确定之处，不再显得像是丢面子。学生们依旧希望自己的机器人能够正常运转，但他们更愿意展示尚未成熟的想法，并且更早地寻求帮助。)” 可知，失败日志让学生可以更加公开地说出自己的疑惑和不确定之处。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It is a map showing which roads have been tried and where a better route might begin.(它是一张地图，记录哪些路已经尝试过，更好的路线可以从哪里开始。)” 可知，作者把日志比作地图，是因为它记录过往尝试的路径，为后续决策提供支持。 D Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems. Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data. One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation. Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful. The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. 12. What does the research in paragraph 2 mainly show us? A. Health benefits of pet ownership. B. Various causes for human loneliness. C. Strong objection to the previous belief. D. Inconsistent results of human-pet studies. 13. How does the writer illustrate pet ownership increases physical activities? A. By listing examples. B. By presenting findings. C. By clarifying concepts. D. By giving definitions. 14. What can be inferred from Jessica Bibbo’s statement? A. The value of pets lies in emotional connection. B. Medical interventions are less effective than pets. C. Scientists have overestimated the benefits of pets. D. Pets should not be used in any medical treatment. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Human beings need animal companionship. B. Pets serve as the best cure for mental issues. C. Pet ownership alone guarantees a healthy life. D. Human-pet bond contributes to owners’ well-being. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们普遍认为宠物有益身心健康，但相关科学证据复杂且结果不一。真正的健康益处源于人与宠物的情感联结及照料行为，而非单纯养宠物本身。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. (人与动物互动领域的研究结果参差不齐。例如，一些研究表明养宠物的人不太可能抑郁，而另一些研究则相反)”可知，第二段的研究主要向我们展示了对人与宠物互动的研究结果的不一致。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. (养狗的一个更明显的好处是，由于每天散步，身体活动增加了。1998年一项著名的研究发现，心脏病发作的宠物主人第二年更有可能存活下来。2019年的一项分析甚至显示，养狗的人死亡风险大幅降低了24%)”可知，作者通过呈现研究结果来说明养宠物增加了身体活动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. (老年学家杰西卡·比博说：“宠物不是一种医疗干预；它们是一种关系。”依恋程度和情感支持似乎是健康益处的真正关键)”可推知，杰西卡·比博认为宠物的价值在于情感联系。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. (似乎，健康生活的秘诀不仅仅在于养宠物，还在于与它建立牢固、支持性的纽带)”结合文章主要介绍了养宠物与健康之间的关系，养宠物与健康之间的关系并非简单的因果关系，而是人与宠物之间的情感联系和互动质量对健康有重要影响。可知，这篇文章的主旨是人类与宠物的关系有助于主人的健康。故选D项。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Less Emotional Being overly emotional may mean reacting to feelings like anger, sadness and fear quickly instead of letting all of your intelligence weigh in.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何不过度情绪化的有效方式。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Being overly emotional may mean reacting to feelings like anger, sadness and fear quickly instead of letting all of your intelligence weigh in. Chances are, if you feel overly emotional you are relating to your emotions in a way that isn't always constructive.(过度情绪化可能意味着对愤怒、悲伤和恐惧等情绪的反应很快，而不是让你所有的智力都发挥作用。很有可能，如果你感觉过于情绪化，那么你处理情绪的方式并不总是建设性的)”及下文小标题讲述如何不过度情绪化的策略可知，C项“然而，学会调节情绪是很重要的。”符合语境，承上启下，与前文是转折关系，引出下文内容。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Identify emotions. It's important to know what you feel so you can adequately address each emotion appropriately.(识别情绪。了解自己的感受是很重要的，这样你才能适当地处理每一种情绪)”可知，要识别自己的情绪，了解自己的感受以便于适当的处理情绪。由此可知，E项“当你注意到一种情绪时，开始反思你的身体是如何感受的。”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 空处为段落标题，根据后文“They can help calm you down when you're experiencing overwhelming emotions. If you're feeling overwhelmed by emotional intensity, pause to focus on your breathing. Breathing techniques can help you manage your emotions more effectively and help you handle intense emotions better. (当你情绪失控时，它们可以帮助你平静下来。如果你被强烈的情绪压得喘不过气来，停下来专注于你的呼吸。呼吸技巧可以帮助你更有效地管理你的情绪，帮助你更好地处理强烈的情绪)”可知，本段建议通过呼吸调整情绪。由此可知，B项“练习呼吸技巧。”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Monitor your expectations. Sometimes, the way you feel may be influenced by how you expect to feel.(监控你的期望。有时候，你的感受可能会受到你期望的感受的影响)”可知，情绪感受会受到期待的影响，因此要监控自己的期待，结合下文“If you notice yourself placing expectations on how you “should” feel, hold off on making that judgment until you've completed the situation. Or, you may consider which situations you want to enter into beforehand.(如果你注意到自己对自己“应该”的感觉抱有期望，那么在你完成这个情况之前，先不要做出这样的判断。或者，你可以事先考虑你想要进入哪些情况)”可知，我们要监控自己的期待的方式。由此可知，G项“例如，如果你期望看一部电影会让你感到悲伤，你最终可能会感到悲伤。”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Adjust your routines to reduce stress. Think about what events trigger your strong emotions, and try to either avoid them or control your response. For instance, if you tend to get anxious because you often run late for work, adjust your morning routine so you are not rushing.( 调整你的日常生活以减少压力。想想是什么事件触发了你强烈的情绪，然后试着避免它们或者控制你的反应。例如，如果你经常因为上班迟到而感到焦虑，那就调整一下你的早晨习惯，这样你就不会赶时间了)”可知，通过调整日常生活减少情绪化，并举例说明。由此可知，F项“如果有一群人会给你带来很多不愉快的情绪，那就减少和他们在一起的时间。”符合语境，与前文都是举例说明如何调整日常生活减少情绪化。故选F。 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Turkish man has been living alone in a ____21____ for two years because he considers it safer than any other man-made structure.

Moreover此外；B. However然而；C. Otherwise否则；D. Instead相反，代替。上文提到“he decided not to live in a man-made building anymore”，后文说“he found a small cave in a suburb of his city”代替住在人造建筑中，他选择山洞作为自己的新家。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：虽然无法说服家人和他一起住在这个不寻常的地方，但Ali说他很高兴能找到平静。A. persuade说服；B. bear忍受；C. warn警告；D. remind提醒。根据后文“his family to join him in his unusual place”可知，Ali无法说服家人和他一起住在山洞里。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：在听说这个人的生活安排后，政府在离城市更近的地方为他提供了一个集装箱房屋，但Ali已经习惯了远离喧嚣的城市生活，学会了欣赏他的小山洞的宁静与和平。A. district地区；B. arrangements安排；C. unit单元；D. expenses费用。根据后文“the government offered him a container home”可知，政府听说了Ali的生活安排，即住在山洞里，所以为他提供了集装箱房屋。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意同上。A. bustling喧闹的；B. disappointing令人失望的；C. interesting有趣的；D. embarrassing令人尴尬的。根据后文“learning to ____ the quiet and peace of his little cave”可知，Ali习惯了远离喧嚣的城市生活。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意同上。A. cure治愈；B. remember记得；C. appreciate欣赏；D. predict预测。根据后文“the quiet and peace of his little cave”可知，Ali习惯远离城市，学会了欣赏山洞的宁静与和平。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：“没受过教育的人对我在这里生活评价很差，因为他们不知道我在精神上经历了什么。他们只是随意判断。”A. generous慷慨的；B. casual随意的；C. fortunate幸运的；D. unappealing不吸引人的。根据上文“Uneducated people speak badly about me living here, because they don’t know what I have experienced mentally.”可知，没受过教育的人对Ali在山洞里生活评价很差，随意判断他。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：他也希望能有一个像样的厕所和自来水，但这几乎是不可能的。A. pay attention to注意；B. have access to使用；C. gain admission to获准进入；D. make contributions to对……做出贡献。根据后文“a proper toilet and running water”可知，Ali希望能使用像样的厕所和自来水。 【33题详解】 考查副词。句意同上。A. nearly几乎；B. barely勉强；C. partly部分地；D. slightly轻微地。根据上文“Ali admits that living in this natural shelter isn’t perfect, because it sometimes attracts snakes and rodents.”可知，Ali住在山洞里并不完美，所以有一个像样的厕所和自来水几乎是不可能的。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：他现在打算安装太阳能电池板，这样他就可以为洗衣机和冰箱供电，但即使他的计划不成功，他也不会很快用山洞的舒适换取人造房屋。A. make制作；B. rebuild重建；C. fix修理；D. power供电。根据上文“install solar panels”和后文“the washing machine and refrigerator”可知，安装太阳能电池板是为了给洗衣机和冰箱供电。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语。句意同上。A. get through通过；B. come up出现；C. work out成功；D. run out耗尽。根据上文“He now intends to install solar panels so he can ____ the washing machine and refrigerator, but even if his plan doesn’t”可知，but表示转折，说明即使安装太阳能电池板的计划不成功，Ali也不会换取人造房屋。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） The humor effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏差) that causes people to remember information better when they regard it as humorous.

They all had two hands, but he only had one. It started when one boy teased him about it. Jayce was in a bad mood. He’d return home with questions: “Why am I different? Why me? Why?” “He actually told us that he was mad because he looked so different from the other kids,” said his mother, Cortney Lewis.“That really hurt him.” Lewis admitted she didn’t know what to do at that point.How could she give answers to her son’s questions when she had never found those answers out herself? A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV. There was a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth grader from a Washington middle school,Iowa.The boy, then 14,had become an Internet star after posting videos of his slam dunk (扣篮). Like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Jayce’s mother called him in to watch videos of Trashaun in action.Jayce was shocked as he watched one dunk after another. At that time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would be an inspiring moment for Jayce — he’d see a shining role model who had been born with a similar disability. Had it stayed like that, his mother would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun and Jayce to encourage Jayce and help him build his confidence. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Trashaun and Jayce finally met each other on a Sunday morning in a Washington middle school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Trashaun and Jayce finally met each other on a Sunday morning in a Washington middle school. Seeing Trashaun walk towards him, Jayce felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Trashaun greeted him warmly and patted his shoulder gently. He shared his own experience of being teased and feeling upset at a young age. He encouraged Jayce not to care about others’ silly remarks and embrace his uniqueness. To cheer Jayce up, Trashaun even showed him some basic basketball skills patiently. Jayce listened attentively, admiration shining in his eyes and sadness fading away gradually. After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability bravely. He no longer felt inferior or upset about his special appearance. Instead, he became confident and outgoing. He stopped hiding himself and began to join his classmates in playground activities bravely. Inspired by Trashaun, he also fell in love with basketball and practiced hard every day. Gradually, he ignored others’ teasing and held a positive attitude toward life. He realized that true beauty lies in one’s courage and persistence, not physical perfection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以残疾男孩Jayce因身体残缺自卑受嘲笑、偶遇励志榜样Trashaun 并重拾自信为线索展开，讲述了Jayce天生仅有一只手，因与众不同遭同学嘲笑而自卑伤感；母亲发现同样身有残疾却篮球出色的Trashaun，在他人帮助下促成二人见面。Trashaun以自身经历开导鼓励Jayce，最终让他坦然接纳自身缺憾，乐观面对生活。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写两人初见时的神情、Trashaun主动热情打招呼、分享自身遭遇、耐心开导Jayce并展示篮球技艺，Jayce内心深受触动、低落情绪慢慢消散。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Jayce彻底摆脱自卑敏感，性格变得开朗自信，主动融入集体、爱上篮球坚持训练，看淡他人嘲讽，树立积极乐观的人生态度。 2.续写线索：见面相逢——热情交流——分享经历——耐心鼓励——接纳残缺——自信成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拍：pat/tap ②接纳：embrace/come to terms with 情绪类 ①自卑的：inferior/self-abased ②自信的：confident/self-assured 【点睛】【高分句型1】Jayce listened attentively, admiration shining in his eyes and sadness fading away gradually.(运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】Inspired by Trashaun, he also fell in love with basketball and practiced hard every day.(运用了过去分词短语作原因状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026~2027学年第一学期高二年级第一次学情阶段检测 英 语 试 题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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.

Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 1. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 2. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A.

Born in 1920, Emily Bula has lived through monumental moments in history and created a life filled with “love, laughter, polka dancing, and incredible stories”, according to a Facebook post from Niagara Falls State Park. However, there was still one adventure she hadn’t experienced. That adventure was getting up close to the roaring Niagara Falls aboard the legendary Maid of the Mist. That dream became a reality thanks to the teamwork of Harris Hill Nursing Facility and the staff of the Maid of the Mist. On the morning of July 24th, Emily boarded the tour boat surrounded by family, nursing home staff, and supporters. “Emily Bula… fulfilled her life-long dream of riding the legendary Maid of the Mist!” the park’s post reads. “With help from the amazing team at Harris Hill Nursing Facility and the Maid of the Mist, Emily boarded the all-electric boat this morning surrounded by loved ones, staff, and supporters — proving it’s never too late to chase a dream.” As the boat edged closer to the base of Horseshoe Falls, Emily experienced the powerful spray (浪花) firsthand. The moment was not just emotional for Emily and her family, but also for everyone watching. For those unfamiliar, the Maid of the Mist is a must-do boat tour operating out of Niagara Falls State Park since 1846. The tour offers visitors a thrilling experience as it takes them right into the basin of the falls. As for Emily, she’s now part of an elite (精英) group. She joins the ranks of America’s oldest citizens. According to the Gerontology Research Group, the oldest living person in the United States is currently over 115 years old. Emily Bula may not hold the record just yet, but with her spirit and energy, she’s certainly one of the most inspiring. Happy 105th birthday, Emily! 4. What was on Emily’s list of life-long dreams? A. To get close to the base of Horseshoe Falls. B. To tour the world on the Maid of the Mist. C. To visit Niagara Falls on the Maid of the Mist. D. To get aboard the Maid of the Mist with her family. 5. How did Emily feel when approaching the Horseshoe Falls? A. Excited. B. Horrified. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 6. What can we learn about the Maid of the Mist? A. It is a brand new, all-electric boat. B. It takes visitors directly to the top of the falls. C. It is specifically designed for senior citizens. D. It has been operating since the mid-19th century. 7. Why does the author mention the record of the Gerontology Research Group? A. To identify Emily’s real age. B. To introduce America’s elite group. C. To highlight Emily’s achievements. D. To show the average age of Americans. C Why Keep a Failure Log? At Northbridge School, the robotics club keeps two records. The first is the familiar success board: photographs of working machines and certificates from competitions. The second is less impressive at first glance. It is a shared “failure log” filled with broken wheels, unstable code and ideas that never left the sketchbook. The log began when club mentor Ana Patel noticed that students were hiding unsuccessful trials. Teams would quietly replace a design and later forget why the earlier version had failed. As a result, another group might repeat the same mistake. Patel asked students to record three things after each important test: what they expected, what actually happened and what they would change next. Blame and excuses were not accepted as explanations. The purpose is not to make failure fashionable. A weak attempt does not become valuable merely because it failed. Value appears when a learner studies the gap between intention and result. For that reason, entries such as “the robot was terrible” are returned to the writer. An entry like “the left wheel slipped because its surface was smooth; test rubber bands next” can guide action. The log has also changed discussion inside the club. During weekly meetings, students now begin with a “useful surprise” — a result that challenged an assumption. Because everyone, including the mentor, contributes examples, admitting uncertainty feels less like losing status. Students still want their robots to work, but they are more willing to show unfinished thinking and ask for help earlier. A failure log cannot remove disappointment, and it should not turn every goal into an endless project. If repeated tests provide no new information, the team may need to change its method or even redefine the task. The record is therefore not a museum of mistakes. It is a map showing which roads have been tried and where a better route might begin. 8. Why did Patel introduce the failure log? A. Students cared too much about certificates. B. Teams refused to test unfinished machines. C. The success board had become difficult to update. D. Useful lessons from failed trials were being lost. 9. Which entry would probably be accepted? A. “Our idea failed, but no one is responsible.” B. “The robot was terrible and should be forgotten.” C. “The sensor reacted late; move it closer and retest.” D. “We expected to win because we worked very hard.” 10. What change has the log brought to club discussions? A. Students compete to report the biggest failure. B. Students share uncertainty more openly. C. Mentors give fewer suggestions. D. Teams avoid discussing unfinished work. 11. Why does the author call the log “a map”? A. It records past routes and supports the next decision. B. It gives every team the same destination. C. It proves that persistence always produces success. D. It ranks mistakes from small to serious. D Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems. Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data. One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation. Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful. The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. 12. What does the research in paragraph 2 mainly show us? A. Health benefits of pet ownership. B. Various causes for human loneliness. C. Strong objection to the previous belief. D. Inconsistent results of human-pet studies. 13. How does the writer illustrate pet ownership increases physical activities? A. By listing examples. B. By presenting findings. C. By clarifying concepts. D. By giving definitions. 14. What can be inferred from Jessica Bibbo’s statement? A. The value of pets lies in emotional connection. B. Medical interventions are less effective than pets. C. Scientists have overestimated the benefits of pets. D. Pets should not be used in any medical treatment. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Human beings need animal companionship. B. Pets serve as the best cure for mental issues. C. Pet ownership alone guarantees a healthy life. D. Human-pet bond contributes to owners’ well-being. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Less Emotional Being overly emotional may mean reacting to feelings like anger, sadness and fear quickly instead of letting all of your intelligence weigh in.
