Of course, there are exceptions for off-campus living, such as married students, parents, daily commuters, or those who meet specific age or status requirements. Franklin & Marshall College As one of America’s oldest colleges, it places first-year students in three college houses: Ware, Bonchek, and Brooks. Each house has a resident director and teacher advisor living on-site to actively support students’ academic progress and personal growth. Student leaders organize regular social activities like pizza nights, study groups, and chats with graduates. Upperclassmen get housing through a draw system, choosing from apartments, wellness-themed dorms, or group housing options. Ohio Wesleyan University It has five residence halls (mostly mixed-gender) equipped with study rooms, shared kitchens, and laundry facilities. Students can join themed communities within residence halls, such as gaming, food lovers, or adventure. Freshmen are assigned roommates randomly, while upperclassmen can pick on-campus houses, apartments, or the newly built Bradford Milligan Hall specially for seniors. Susquehanna University All on-campus students must have meal plans, except upperclassmen living in certain townhouses. First-years stay in five main dorms; returning students can choose themed housing, standard dorms, or suite-style rooms. A beloved long-held tradition: seniors hike Mahanoy Mountain with the college president before graduation, a custom dating back to the 1800s. Vanderbilt University In Nashville, it has 31 residence halls and 18 dining spots across campus. First-years live in 10 houses with teacher advisors living on-site, enjoying activities like game nights and group discussions. The annual Commons Cup lets freshmen compete in studies, sports, and campus involvement. Upperclassmen may live off-campus if housing is full or they meet exception criteria. 1. What do Franklin & Marshall College and Ohio Wesleyan University have in common? A. Both offer themed housing options. B. All their dorms are for single-gender. C. Social activities are organized for seniors. D. Neither has teacher advisors living on campus. 2. Which university holds an annual competition for first-year students? A. Franklin & Marshall College. B. Ohio Wesleyan University. C. Susquehanna University. D. Vanderbilt University. 3. Who is the text most probably intended for? A. Dorm managers. B. Professors seeking housing. C. College applicants. D. Graduates for further study. B Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. Peter Murray, a former architect, explains: “When you play golf with somebody, you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you. If they’re a client and you don’t want to beat them, you have to sort of cheat to lose. That’s not a good way.” Group cycling, especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience where riders work together, taking turns at the front to help others save almost a third of the effort. A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” Simon Mottram, CEO of Rapha, notes long- distance cycling lifts mood, focusing on riding and companions. “The rhythm of fuelling, riding, celebrating eases life’s stresses.” Unlike quick post-work meals, long rides allow deeper connections and break the gap between higher and lower positions: “A younger rider might help a CEO, changing their off-ride relationship.” Perhaps the most compelling reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. “It’s what we dream of while at our computers,” Mottram adds. 4. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. Staff discuss frames more than work. B. Cycling becomes a professional social hit. C. Corporate charities center on cycling. D. Golf was a popular networking method. 5. What is the main purpose of the annual Cycle to Cannes? A. To promote architects’ competition. B. To collect money for charitable causes. C. To popularize long- distance cycling. D. To display various bike frames at a fair. 6. Why does Jean-Jacques Lorraine favor cycling for networking? A. It saves effort in long trips. B. It is a shared passion for many. C. It lifts mood and eases stress. D. It shows character and eases talks. 7. What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Outdated. B. Similar. C. Convincing. D. Disturbing. C Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas. Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them. Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in SouthAfrica is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively,which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts. 8. What do we know about hadeda ibises? A. They are known for shiny feathers. B. They barely see any rise in numbers. C. They recall images of the dinosaurs. D. They have a specialized sensory organ. 9. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment? A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items. C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects. 10. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas? A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture. B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey. C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas. D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting. C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion. D If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it? The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the world in recent years, affecting young and old. There have even been numerous urgent calls by governments to address it. However, some researchers question whether we really have the credible data to back up such claims. Should we struggle to eradicate it, as we would a virus or a disease? Psychologist James Hillman had concerns about viewing loneliness as a pathology (病理学). He noted that solutions like socializing in recovery groups suggest we should get rid of loneliness. But Hillman argued that if loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to avoid it. I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. 12. What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Change. C. Highlight. D. Identify. 13. What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness? A. Observing physical responses in trials. B. Collecting a variety or typical cases C. Reviewing published research papers. D. Taking a questionnaire survey analysis. 14. What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”? A. To inform how loneliness varies with age. B. To emphasize the importance of storytelling. C. To show complexities of human loneliness. D. To express his sympathy for the suffering. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness? A. Overcome it by staying busy. B. Engage with social activities. C. Coexist peacefully with it. D. Turn to experts for guidance. 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。 Top Tips for Writing Richer Characters What’s the secret to writing the best story of your life? It starts with characterization.____16____ Through your characters’ eyes, readers not only understand your world but also see themselves in your characters. Relatable characters help readers learn lessons that impact them long after finishing the book. So how do you build strong characters? Make them human. Your goal is to create unique characters. Uniqueness requires more than simply combining strange personal qualities. You have to dig deeper than that. ____17____ You must know where the characters come from and how their past experiences will influence their future choices. Your characters also need self-motivation and faults to be believable. They won’t feel reliable if they’re only moving as agents of the plot, and the story won’t either. No human can see themselves as perfect and faultless. ____18____ For a character to be relatable, a reader needs to see themselves in that character. ____19____ When your characters make bad choices, it doesn’t destroy the story. Your story is about those characters’ choices. Allow your characters to experience the consequences of their bad decisions. So, you can develop your characters further throughout the rest of your story. Make sure you document how your characters grow. Otherwise, they become bound by the plot and lose their relatability. Describe the central conflict from hero’s and opponent’s view. A deep understanding of both sides is vital to creating balance in your story. Both characters have motivations, desires, and fears, making the conflict richer and more engaging. It prevents any character from falling into stereotypes (刻板印象). ____20____ A. Make a path of progress. B. Focus on their backstory. C. Understand what your readers want. D. Great stories develop from believable characters. E. Your human readers will reject a perfect character.

In class, he pressed himself against the chair, hoping to be invisible. When the teacher asked a question, his eyes dropped to the desk. Reading was worse. Words on a page seemed to swim away from him. He would stare at a sentence for minutes, his throat tight. His classmates turned pages with ease. He got stuck on the first page, struggling with every word. Mr. Kirui, the school principal, noticed. Instead of leaving him to sink, he did something small. After school one day, he found Tom sitting alone by the library window, running his fingers over the table. “Come with me,” he said quietly. “No pressure.” The library smelled of old paper and dust. Sunlight streamed through the blinds. Mr. Kirui pulled out a pile of thin books — picture books, early readers, stories with big letters and white space. Tom’s face burned. “These are for little kids,” he mumbled, staring at his shoes. “Trust me,” Mr. Kirui said. “Start here.” Tom opened the first one. His finger traced the lines. He read aloud, slowly, tripping over easy words. Mr. Kirui never corrected him. He just leaned back and listened. Day after day, after class they sat in the same corner — the one by the window where the light fell softly. Tom’s voice grew steadier. He started to ask questions about the stories. He borrowed books without being asked. One afternoon, Mr. Kirui watched him read a full page without stopping. The boy didn’t even notice the principal’s smile. A week later, the school announced a Read Out Loud Competition, where students could choose their own reading materials. “Any volunteer?” The teacher asked. Hands shot up. Tom’s heart raced. His hand lifted slightly and then fell back to his lap. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage with a thin book. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门海沧实验中学2027届高三年段9月阶段性检测 英语 (时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题 1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

College applicants. D. Graduates for further study. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍四所实行四年校内住宿政策的大学，说明政策例外情况，还分别阐述各校新生与高年级学生的住宿安排、配套及特色活动等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Franklin & Marshall College中“Upperclassmen get housing through a draw system, choosing from apartments, wellness-themed dorms, or group housing options.(高年级学生通过抽签制度获得住房，从公寓、健康主题宿舍或团体住房中进行选择。)”说明该校为高年级学生提供主题宿舍选择。以及Ohio Wesleyan University中“Students can join themed communities within residence halls, such as gaming, food lovers, or adventure.(学生可以加入宿舍内的主题社区，如游戏、美食爱好者或冒险。)”表明该校学生可以在宿舍内加入主题社区，也就意味着提供主题住宿选择。所以两所学校都提供主题住宿选择。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vanderbilt University中“The annual Commons Cup lets freshmen compete in studies, sports, and campus involvement.( 一年一度的Commons Cup让新生在学习、体育和校园参与方面进行竞争。)”可知，这里明确指出每年的 Commons Cup 让大一新生在学习、体育和校园参与方面进行竞争，所以是 Vanderbilt University 为大一学生举办年度比赛。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及标题“4 Colleges With Four-Year On-Campus-Living Policies(4 所实行四年制在校住宿政策的大学)”可知，文章主要介绍了4 所大学的在校住宿政策，包括新生住宿安排、高年级学生住宿选择以及学校围绕住宿开展的一些活动等。这些信息对于正在申请大学的学生来说，是关于学校住宿方面非常有用的参考内容。而对于宿舍管理员（Dorm managers）、寻求住房的教授（Professors seeking housing）以及深造的毕业生（Graduates for further study）来说，这些内容并非主要针对他们的需求，所以文章最可能的受众是大学申请者。故选C项。 B Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. Peter Murray, a former architect, explains: “When you play golf with somebody, you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you. If they’re a client and you don’t want to beat them, you have to sort of cheat to lose. That’s not a good way.” Group cycling, especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience where riders work together, taking turns at the front to help others save almost a third of the effort. A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” Simon Mottram, CEO of Rapha, notes long- distance cycling lifts mood, focusing on riding and companions. “The rhythm of fuelling, riding, celebrating eases life’s stresses.” Unlike quick post-work meals, long rides allow deeper connections and break the gap between higher and lower positions: “A younger rider might help a CEO, changing their off-ride relationship.” Perhaps the most compelling reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. “It’s what we dream of while at our computers,” Mottram adds. 4. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. Staff discuss frames more than work. B. Cycling becomes a professional social hit. C. Corporate charities center on cycling. D. Golf was a popular networking method. 5. What is the main purpose of the annual Cycle to Cannes? A. To promote architects’ competition. B. To collect money for charitable causes. C. To popularize long- distance cycling. D. To display various bike frames at a fair. 6. Why does Jean-Jacques Lorraine favor cycling for networking? A. It saves effort in long trips. B. It is a shared passion for many. C. It lifts mood and eases stress. D. It shows character and eases talks. 7. What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Outdated. B. Similar. C. Convincing. D. Disturbing. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出公路骑行正取代高尔夫成现代职场人首选社交方式，介绍相关活动，借多人观点说明骑行因竞争性低、显性格等更利于职场社交。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. (传统上，商业伙伴会通过打一轮高尔夫球来了解彼此，但公路自行车正迅速赶上，成为现代专业人士首选的社交方式。越来越多的公司赞助的慈善自行车骑行和城市自行车俱乐部提供了与志同道合的同事和客户讨论不同自行车框架的理想机会。许多人认为，在建立持久的工作关系或找到一份新工作方面，骑自行车比打高尔夫更好，因为它的竞争更少。)”可知，第一段第一句指出传统上商务伙伴通过打高尔夫相互了解，但公路骑行正迅速成为现代专业人士首选的社交方式。接着提到越来越多企业赞助的慈善骑行活动和城市自行车俱乐部为专业人士提供了与志同道合的同事和客户交流业务的理想机会。所以整段主要讲述的是骑行成为专业社交的热门方式。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. (作为一名热衷长途骑行的人，穆雷于2005年创立了一年一度的“自行车到戛纳”慈善活动——这是一项为期6天的慈善活动，建筑师们每年3月从伦敦骑车1500公里到法国MIPIM房地产博览会，为慈善机构筹集了450万英镑。)”可知，这是一个慈善活动，已经为慈善机构筹集了 450 万英镑，所以该活动的主要目的是为慈善事业筹款。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” (让-雅克•洛林是自行车运动的常客，他表示，骑车可以揭示性格：“交谈很轻松。我经常说一些我平时不会说的话，别人也会意想不到地和我分享一些事情。有些骑手是专一的，有些是合作的；有些人计划巧妙，有些人则毫无章法。”)”可知，让-雅克•洛林认为骑行能揭示人的性格，并且对话很容易进行。所以他喜欢骑行进行社交是因为它能展示性格并使交谈轻松。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段提到“Perhaps the most… reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. (也许骑行是一种很好的社交方式的最……原因是，对于许多专业人士来说，这是他们共同的爱好和生活方式。)”结合前文讲述的骑行在社交方面的各种好处，这里应该是说最有说服力的原因，C 选项“Convincing”（有说服力的）符合语境。故选C项。 C Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas. Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them. Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in SouthAfrica is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively,which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts. 8. What do we know about hadeda ibises? A. They are known for shiny feathers. B. They barely see any rise in numbers. C. They recall images of the dinosaurs. D. They have a specialized sensory organ. 9. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment? A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items. C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects. 10. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas? A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture. B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey. C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas. D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting. C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了噪鹮的特征，通过实验研究其利用“远程触觉”感知猎物的能力与土壤湿度的关系，以及气候变化对其的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Various ibises use remote touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. (各种朱鹭利用远程触觉来探测土壤中猎物的移动并定位它们的藏身之处。这种能力得益于它们喙中的一种感觉器官，叫做喙尖器官，它在恐龙时代就已经形成了)”可知，噪鹮有一个专门的感觉器官。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote touch to find them. (我们给它们提供装有埋着虫子的土壤盒子，用白噪音掩盖任何声音，并将死虫子混入土壤中以消除气味线索。这些鸟总是比找到死虫子更快地找到活虫子，这表明它们能够感知猎物的移动并利用远程触觉来找到它们)”可知，使用白噪音和死虫子是为了排除声音和气味线索的干扰，从而得到更可靠的实验结果，证明噪鹮是通过远程触觉感知猎物的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. (随着气候变化，预计干旱和热浪将加剧，这可能会使猎物探测变得更具挑战性，从而威胁到它们的数量)”可知，干旱会让噪鹮更难找到猎物。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this ‘sixth sense’ and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. (我最近的研究证实，噪鹮有这种‘第六感’，并发现它与土壤湿度水平密切相关)”以及后文围绕噪鹮在不同湿度土壤中探测猎物的研究内容可知，本文主要讲的是噪鹮在湿润土壤中探测猎物的情况。故选C项。 D If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it? The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the world in recent years, affecting young and old. There have even been numerous urgent calls by governments to address it. However, some researchers question whether we really have the credible data to back up such claims. Should we struggle to eradicate it, as we would a virus or a disease? Psychologist James Hillman had concerns about viewing loneliness as a pathology (病理学). He noted that solutions like socializing in recovery groups suggest we should get rid of loneliness. But Hillman argued that if loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to avoid it. I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. 12. What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Change. C. Highlight. D. Identify. 13. What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness? A. Observing physical responses in trials. B. Collecting a variety or typical cases C. Reviewing published research papers. D. Taking a questionnaire survey analysis. 14. What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”? A. To inform how loneliness varies with age. B. To emphasize the importance of storytelling. C. To show complexities of human loneliness. D. To express his sympathy for the suffering. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness? A. Overcome it by staying busy. B. Engage with social activities. C. Coexist peacefully with it. D. Turn to experts for guidance. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了孤独的本质以及我们对待它的态度。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it?(如果你能吃一颗药丸来“治愈”你的孤独，你会吃吗？)”和下文“...as we would a virus or a disease (就像我们对付病毒或疾病一样)”可知，作者把治疗孤独和治疗病毒或者疾病相类比，询问我们是否应该像对付病毒或疾病那样，吃一颗药丸来治愈或消除它，划线词eradicate意为“消除”，与Remove同义。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. (我职业生涯的大部分时间都在研究孤独，进行了数百次采访，观察了各个年龄段的不同版本。我的研究结果表明，孤独不是一种单一的感觉，而是一系列人类经历和未满足的需求的标签，这些需求与断开联系有关，有时可能是不可避免的。在我的书《所有孤独的人：关于孤独的对话》中，我展示了各种各样的孤独的例子，这些例子来自于许多项目和采访，每一个都提供了对这种情况的不同方面的一瞥)”可知，作者通过访谈和观察，并且整合了多个项目和访谈中的案例，为研究提供了丰富的细节和真实情境。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. (故事帮助我们确定孤独是什么样子的，以及它是如何生活的。它们还表明，孤独是大多数人生命旅程的一部分。接受这一现实可能比病态化更明智，因为病态化会让人感到羞耻，迫使人们隐藏自己的孤独)”可知，故事帮助人们理解并接受孤独是一种自然的人生经历，而不是让孤独成为一种羞耻或病理化的问题。所以作者通过故事展现孤独在人们生活中的不同表现形式，帮助读者认识到孤独的复杂性。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. (最终，孤独的答案可能在于学会与它共存，而不是否认它的存在或试图根除它)”可知，作者建议与其试图完全消除孤独，不如学会与孤独和平共处。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。 Top Tips for Writing Richer Characters What’s the secret to writing the best story of your life?

In class, he pressed himself against the chair, hoping to be invisible. When the teacher asked a question, his eyes dropped to the desk. Reading was worse. Words on a page seemed to swim away from him. He would stare at a sentence for minutes, his throat tight. His classmates turned pages with ease. He got stuck on the first page, struggling with every word. Mr. Kirui, the school principal, noticed. Instead of leaving him to sink, he did something small. After school one day, he found Tom sitting alone by the library window, running his fingers over the table. “Come with me,” he said quietly. “No pressure.” The library smelled of old paper and dust. Sunlight streamed through the blinds. Mr. Kirui pulled out a pile of thin books — picture books, early readers, stories with big letters and white space. Tom’s face burned. “These are for little kids,” he mumbled, staring at his shoes. “Trust me,” Mr. Kirui said. “Start here.” Tom opened the first one. His finger traced the lines. He read aloud, slowly, tripping over easy words. Mr. Kirui never corrected him. He just leaned back and listened. Day after day, after class they sat in the same corner — the one by the window where the light fell softly. Tom’s voice grew steadier. He started to ask questions about the stories. He borrowed books without being asked. One afternoon, Mr. Kirui watched him read a full page without stopping. The boy didn’t even notice the principal’s smile. A week later, the school announced a Read Out Loud Competition, where students could choose their own reading materials. “Any volunteer?” The teacher asked. Hands shot up. Tom’s heart raced. His hand lifted slightly and then fell back to his lap. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage with a thin book. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library. Staring at his shoes, he expressed his wish to join, his throat tight. “But they’ll laugh at my thin book,” he whispered. Mr. Kirui patted his shoulder gently. “Just read it well. That’s enough.” Encouraged by the principal’s warm words, Tom finally signed up. Every afternoon, he returned to the sunlit corner, reading the same pages aloud repeatedly. With Mr. Kirui listening quietly nearby, Tom’s once shaky voice gradually grew firm, ready for the stage. On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage with a thin book. Facing the crowd, he swallowed hard. He began with a trembling whisper, but soon his voice steadied. Absorbed in the familiar story, Tom turned the pages with ease, the words no longer swimming away. Finishing the last sentence without a single pause, he met deafening applause. In the audience, Mr. Kirui nodded with a proud smile. Standing in the spotlight, Tom realized the once invisible boy had finally stepped out of the shadows, full of true confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以汤姆的心理变化为线索展开，讲述原本害怕读书、自卑内向的汤姆，在校长耐心陪伴引导下慢慢克服阅读困难，重拾自信，面对校园朗读比赛内心纠结犹豫的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写汤姆鼓起勇气向校长诉说参赛想法与内心自卑担忧，得到校长鼓励后下定决心报名，坚持每日刻苦练习朗读。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写汤姆登台参赛的紧张状态、顺利完成朗读的过程，赢得众人掌声，彻底摆脱自卑收获自信。 2. 续写线索：倾诉心事 —— 得到鼓励 —— 下定决心 —— 坚持练习 —— 登台比赛 —— 从容朗读 —— 收获掌声 —— 重拾自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/convey/voice ②鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate 情绪类 ①温和地：gently/softly /tenderly ②颤抖的：trembling/shaking/quivering 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Encouraged by the principal’s warm words, Tom finally signed up.
