We moved here because my father found a job. 2. 【原文】M: I don’t like Monday mornings. The first two lessons are physics. My brain isn’t ready for that after the weekend. W: Haven’t you heard? Our physics teacher is off this week. We’re having French first, then English. 3.【原文】W: I can’t believe the room should have seated 40 people! M: Yes, we have made it larger. We can now have double the number of people than before. 4.【原文】W: I honestly don’t want to continue the gardening tomorrow, Tony. We need to deliver some clothes to our son. M: Neither do I, but we need to get it done within this weekend, as what our boss said yesterday. 5.【原文】W: Will you try out for the school play? M: It depends on what it is. I loved being in Hamlet, but I heard the teachers are deciding between Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, and The Producers, a musical. My singing voice is terrible! 6-7 【原文】M: We can’t afford that new car, personally. W: Are you sure? Haven’t we saved a lot of money? M: Yes, we have, just like my workmate, George. But we need that money. W: I don’t think so. What for? M: Our old age. W: Really? How old are you now? You are joking, aren’t you? M: Yes, I am. I’ve just bought it for you. W: Oh, that’s unexpected news. 8-9听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 【原文】W: Gomez, what’s in the mailbox? M: It’s a note from the Smiths. They thank us for seeing their daughter last week when she was in hospital. W: Is Lily back home now? M: Should be. When we visited her, the doctor said she’d be able to go back home in two or three days. So far four days have passed, but she won’t be able to return to school until next week. W: I hope she has recovered now. 10-12 【原文】M: Jana, do you think age matters for language learning? W: Well, when you’re young, you learn faster, because there’s nothing else that’s occupying your mind. You’re just studying, but once you start working, it becomes more difficult. M: I have an old friend named Joseph who is retired and then he started studying French at the age of sixty-five and he’s mastered it well. W: Oh, really? M: Yeah. He’s now living in Paris. He’s made many French friends. W: Why did he start it so late? M: He has been interested in French culture, but when he was young, he worked in Tokyo and had no time to learn it. So after he retired, he came back to London and began to learn French. W: Well, I see. M: So I think learning a language has a lot to do with your motivation and interest because you can start learning later in life and you succeed. W: So you don’t think age matters when we learn a language, do you? M: No, I don’t think so. 13-16听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 【原文】M: Have you looked for a summer job lately, Maria? W: Well, things are a bit difficult. I saw some offers for shop assistants, but that seemed boring. I’d love to have a job as a swimming coach, because I studied it last summer. M: I understand. W: Anyway, I found a hotel that’s looking for a receptionist. They were happy to meet with me, and I’ll start in two weeks. M: Oh good! You’ll meet many interesting people in the hotel. W: Right. Well, the hotel is not close to my house. There aren’t any buses that go there. I’ll just drive. It’s too far to ride my bike. M: I see. Is that a problem? W: Hmm, well, I’ll pay a lot for petrol. M: Where is the hotel? Is it near the beach? W: No, it’s in the mountains. It’s got a great view. You can see our town and the forest to the west. M: Wow, cool! Well, I hope you have a lot of visitors. W: Me too. Well, there’s a new movie at 7:00 this evening in West Theater. Would you like to go to see it together? Mike and Tina will go too. M: Great. I’ll have dinner with my grandparents first and then I’ll meet you there at 6:30. 17-20听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 【原文】M: Hello, everyone. May I have your attention, please? If you are interested in meeting people who’d like to talk about art and make art, the Arts Club Riverdale may be the perfect place for you.

Food Waste Action Week This year, we are taking part in the Food Waste Action Week, looking at ways to reduce the amount of food we throw away. It has been proven that creating and sticking to a meal plan can cut food waste. You can take part by sending in your weekly menu plans, and the best will be published on our Socials pages. Keep your eyes peeled and we will be posting some great ideas for using up leftover food from great soups to homemade hair conditioner! Simpler Recycling Did you know that from March 31, all student halls across the country will be required to separate food waste? This means that instead of unused food going to landfill and producing greenhouse gases as it rots, it will be sent to treatment plants where it will be made into biofuel. There will be lots more information on what can and can’t be recycled coming soon. If you have any questions, just ask your site teams — we’re here to help! Earth Hour Started in Sydney, this now global event asks us to switch off lights and electrical items for an hour on 22 March from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. and enjoy the peace and quiet. No competitions for this, just take a positive step to join a global movement and help tackle climate change! Plastic Cleared Challenge Single-use plastics are everywhere — from packaging to takeaway boxes. This April, join our campus-wide challenge to cut plastic waste. Bring your own bags, bottles, and cups. Our Green Representatives will run workshops on spotting hidden plastics and making sustainable swaps. Snap a photo of your plastic-free lunch, share it with Plastic Cleared Challenge, and tag us for a chance to win a zero-waste starter kit! 21. What is the purpose of the activities? A. To fight climate change. B. To promote a simple life. C. To enrich the campus life. D. To advocate a green life. 22. What are students supposed to do in Food Waste Action Week? A. Recycle their waste food. B. Keep away from junk food. C. Submit weekly meal plans. D. Help with household chores. 23. What does Plastic Cleared Challenge highlight? A. Saving electric power. B. Leading a less-plastic life. C. Stopping plastic pollution. D. Reducing CO₂ emission. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了2026年春季校园推出的四项环保相关活动，分别是食物浪费行动周、简化回收项目、地球一小时活动以及清塑挑战，向学生宣传各类践行绿色生活的方式。  【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This term, we’ll be looking at a new theme and keeping you updated on what we can do to get green!(这学期，我们将聚焦一个新主题，持续向大家更新我们可以为践行绿色环保所做的行动！)”并结合下文四个活动的介绍可知，这些活动分别围绕减少食物浪费、规范回收、地球一小时节电减碳、削减塑料垃圾展开，核心目的是倡导绿色生活。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Food Waste Action Week部分中“You can take part by sending in your weekly menu plans, and the best will be published on our Socials pages.(你可以通过提交你的每周菜单计划参与活动，最优的计划将会在我们的社交平台页面发布。)”可知，学生在食物浪费行动周需要提交每周用餐计划。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Plastic Cleared Challenge部分中“This April, join our campus-wide challenge to cut plastic waste. Bring your own bags, bottles, and cups.(今年四月，请加入我们全校范围内减少塑料垃圾的挑战。自带袋子、瓶子和杯子。)”可知，该活动号召大家自备用品、减少塑料使用；因此，清塑挑战强调的是践行少用塑料的生活方式。 B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 24. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 25. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 26. Why do the shrimp fishers give so many public demonstrations? A. To work hard to survive. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill. C. To raise funds for the government. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival. 27. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing? A. It is expected to die out soon. B. It boosts the global tourism industry. C. It faced extinction in the past. D. It has threatened commercial fishing. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过跟随一位捕虾人，看她当天的渔获情况，介绍了北海沿岸历史悠久的骑马捕虾传统，这种古老的捕捞方法除了在Oostduinkerke之外，在其他地方几乎已经消失了。社区和政府的认可使这种做法得以延续。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene.(Bekaert灵巧地坐在篮子之间。她将马儿引向大海，直到海水淹没马腿的上部，它们缓缓与海岸线平行移动，形成了一幅独特的景象)”可知，Bekaert捕虾的方式之所以独特是因为她骑在马背上捕虾。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non-target species.(她将网中的渔获倒出，清洗并分类，保留完全成熟的虾和鱼，同时将体型较小的虾和幼蟹放回海中。这有助于维持生物多样性，并防止意外捕获非目标物种)”可知，Bekaert在捕捞时只留下那些完全长成的鱼和虾。其他小虾和小蟹放归大海，这有助于维持生物多样性，是一种可持续的渔获分类方式。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive.(每年在Oostduinkerke，他们都会举办36场面向公众的骑马捕虾技艺演示，并参加捕虾节，这些活动由政府资助，以维持这项手工艺的传承)”和最后一段中““The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.”(“传统非常重要，”Bekaert指出，“我很乐意帮助保护和传承它。”)”可知，Bekaert和其他的渔民们每年进行多场马背捕虾表演的目的是延续这种古老的传统。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival.(这要归功于前市长Honoré Loones，他在1950年通过举办第一届虾节使骑马捕虾成为旅游景点，从而使其免于灭绝。)”可知，这要感谢前任市长洛内斯，他在1950年创办了第一届虾节，使马背捕虾成为一个旅游热点，免于灭绝。这说明在过去马背捕虾曾面临灭绝的风险。 C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks, such as writing or solving math problems, require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’ re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’ re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 28. People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 29. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________ . A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 30. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Overestimation promotes efficiency. B. Personal perception determines motivation. C. Focusing on rewards enhances performance. D. Brain counteraction triggers positive emotions. 31. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于认知任务与大脑能量消耗、习惯及注意力之间的关系，以及如何通过改变习惯和提高注意力来更轻松地完成认知任务。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. (事实上，当一项任务要求大脑违背其通常的习惯时，就会感觉更具挑战性。认知要求高的工作往往需要许多不同的大脑区域以新的模式进行协调，同时使经常一起兴奋的神经回路沉默。)”可知，人们可能会觉得某些认知任务要求很高，是因为这些任务需要大脑各部分之间新的协调。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。第四段首“Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. (研究表明，如果我们能克服开始一项任务的最初障碍，那么思考就会变得更容易。做到这一点的一种方法是关注收益，而不是需要付出的努力。)”提出解决问题的方案，根据下文“In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. (在2020年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究中，罗格斯大学的神经科学家安德鲁·韦斯特布鲁克和他的同事让参与者选择解决一个简单的记忆谜题来获得少量的钱，或者解决一个更难的谜题来获得更多的钱。这些选项显示在屏幕上，当参与者决定尝试哪个谜题时，他们的眼球运动被跟踪。当人们花更多时间观察挑战性谜题的奖励时，他们更有可能选择它。如果我们的大脑或注意力集中在一个选择的好处上，随着时间的推移，我们更有可能选择做困难的事情。)”可知，作者引用2020年的这一研究来说明段首提出的解决方案是可行，即关注好处可以促使我们选择去做困难的事情。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. (我们经常高估完成认知任务所需要经历的困难和痛苦。这种最初的高估会导致我们拖延，甚至完全避免这项任务。)”可推知，个人对认知任务的感知会影响其动力，即个人感知决定动力。故选B项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. (如果精神努力的付出成为一种习惯，那么执行复杂的脑力任务也不会那么痛苦。当我们不必每天都做出专注的决定时，我们就会省去考虑成本或后果的麻烦。为了让认知要求高的任务成为一种习惯，试着每天在同一时间、同一地点做这些事情。)”可知，让精神工作感觉更容易的方法就是让其成为习惯。故选C项。 D In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy. In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener. ” After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her. Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might. Research like ours can help people gain a ‘more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions. 32. What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers? A. Speaking a little less is preferred. B. Speaking half the time is the best. C. Listeners are more likable than speakers. D. Listeners fail to control the conversations. 33. How was the research carried out? A. By analyzing speaking habits. B. By making comparisons. C. By listing examples. D. By collecting data. 34. What is the disadvantage of the research? A. The conversation time is limited. B. Further study is hard to continue. C. The findings are less widely appliable. D. Interactions with strangers are missing. 35. In which situation can the research finding be applied? A. Attending a family gathering. B. Partying with your friends. C. Meeting a new teacher. D. Making a public speech. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于如何与陌生人互动交往的研究。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.（在与陌生人交谈时，人们通常倾向于认为他们说话少于一半的时间才能讨人喜欢。）”，可知，关于与陌生人交谈的普遍看法是“少说一点是最好的”，故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners.（在我们的研究中，我们随机分配了一些人，让他们在与陌生人对话时，用30%、40%、50%、60%的时间说话。我们发现，他们说得越多，他们的新合作伙伴就越喜欢他们。）”，可知，研究是“通过“比较说话时间”来实施的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.（然而，它并没有反映出更自然的对话。未来的研究应该弄清楚我们的发现是否适用于更自然的相互作用。）”，可知，这项研究的缺点是“这些发现的适用性不那么广泛”，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一项关于如何与陌生人互动交往的研究，该研究发现可以应用于“与一位新老师初次见面”，其中new是关键词，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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us. _____36_____ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. _____37_____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. _____38_____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. _____39_____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. _____40_____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read.

B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍阅读教学中的提问技巧，阐释其作用、分类以及培养读者批判性阅读思维的重要意义。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us.(你是否曾看书走神，翻页却没有理解文字内容？这种情况人人都会遇到。)”以及后文“For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading.(对他们而言，阅读不只是读懂文本，还要思辨思考、建立关联并深入研读内容。)”可知，后文出现指代词汇them，空格处需要引出对应的人群，E选项“But imagine students who are just learning to read.(但试想一下正在学习阅读的学生们)”引出学生群体，后文them正好指代这类人群，衔接自然，符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills.(就如同运动可以强健肌肉一样，阅读时提问能够提升理解能力。)”可知，后文运用类比的手法进行阐述，F选项“Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain.(可以把提问技巧看作是大脑的思维锻炼)”与后文运动健身的类比句式保持一致，呼应下文内容。 【38题详解】 根据后文“The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required.(所提出问题的类型会根据阅读思考深度的不同而发生变化。)”以及后文依次列举出字面问题、推理问题、评价问题和预测问题可知，本段主要讲述问题存在不同类别，C选项“Of course, all questions aren’t created equal.(当然，所有的问题并非都是一样的)”总领本段内容，引出下文对不同问题类型的介绍。 【39题详解】 前文依次介绍了多种不同类型的阅读问题，根据后文“But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page.(但这些问题结合在一起，能够打造丰富有趣的阅读体验，远超单纯识别文字的层面。)”可知，空格处说明各类问题有着各自不同的作用，A选项“Each type serves a different purpose.(每一种问题都有着不同的作用)”承接前文多种问题的介绍，与后文转折语句相互呼应。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words.(事实上，阅读远远不只是认识文字这么简单。)”可知，前文否定阅读的浅层含义，空格处需要点明阅读的深层内涵，B选项“It’s about making sense of those words.(阅读是要去理解领悟这些文字背后的含义)”承接上文，对阅读的真正意义进行解释说明。 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。 It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, with a simple ____41_: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a(n) ___42__, free of charge. “We want to ____43___ the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,” says Erin Achenbach, one of What Cheer’s farmers.

From my perspective, peer learning works better for most students. With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently. Not only does it deepen our understanding, but it also builds communication skills. If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. That said, independent learning still matters. What we should do is combine both approaches, using peer learning to exchange ideas while developing self-study habits. Only in this way can we achieve real academic growth. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就“同伴一起学习”与“自主学习”哪一种学习效果更好发表看法，阐述理由，向校英文报“Opinion”栏目投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 理解：understanding→comprehension 激发：spark→trigger/stimulate 培养：develop→cultivate/foster 实现：achieve→accomplish/attain 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 拓展句：Time permitting, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 【点睛】【高分句型1】With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently.

He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head. Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me. It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish — he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then. “That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿) tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank. “No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone. As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned. “Maybe you just need a little bit luck,” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better. That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter — I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman. 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。 Paragraph 1: Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Para. 1 Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. I strung the rod, baited the hook and cast the line — just as Grandpa had shown me. Then I waited — through the first light of dawn, through the birds’ morning songs, and through the growing ache in my arms. Suddenly the tip of my pole jerked violently. Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight. The trout ran deep, then burst to the surface, flapping his tail and shaking his head wildly. After a long, fierce battle, I finally reeled him into the shallows — silver, enormous, and beautiful beyond words. I had caught Walter! Para. 2 When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. Somehow, my thrill ebbed. The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands. Something tightened in my throat. Then Grandpa’s words came back to me: some fish are meant to stay in the river. I knelt down, eased the hook from his lip, and set him back into the river. But just before he swam off, I thought I saw the corner of his mouth lift in a great wide smile. I stood there empty-handed, but somehow my chest felt full. Maybe, I thought, that made me a better fisherman than any newspaper picture ever could. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者和爷爷去钓鱼时，一条名叫Walter的大鳟鱼从作者的鱼钩上逃脱了，爷爷安慰说“有些鱼注定留在河里”，但作者心有不甘，当晚梦见自己成功钓到Walter并成了世界闻名的钓鱼人。第二天凌晨，作者独自前往河边，最终再次钓到了Walter，但面对它悲伤的眼神，作者领悟到爷爷话中的深意，选择将它放生，从而真正理解了钓鱼的意义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者凌晨独自来到河边，组装鱼竿、抛竿、耐心等待，最终再次钓到Walter的经过，重点刻画钓鱼过程中的紧张与坚持。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者将Walter提出水面后，面对它悲伤的眼神，内心发生转变，回忆起爷爷的话，最终选择放生Walter，并从中领悟到真正的钓鱼之道——懂得放手比捕获更重要。 2. 续写线索：凌晨独自去河边→组装鱼竿、抛竿、耐心等待→鱼线绷紧、Walter上钩→激烈搏斗后成功将其拉到岸边→将Walter提出水面、看到它悲伤的眼神→内心激动消退、陷入沉思→想起爷爷的话→轻轻取下鱼钩→将Walter放生→Walter游走→坐在岸边感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①遵循某人的建议：follow one’s tip/follow one’s advice ②紧紧握住：hold on/grip/clench 情绪类 ①激动：thrill/excitement ②微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】【高分句型1】Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands.(运用了who引导的定语从句和独立主格结构) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级上期中考试模拟试题 英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试用时150分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，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.Where does the woman live now?

Food Waste Action Week This year, we are taking part in the Food Waste Action Week, looking at ways to reduce the amount of food we throw away. It has been proven that creating and sticking to a meal plan can cut food waste. You can take part by sending in your weekly menu plans, and the best will be published on our Socials pages. Keep your eyes peeled and we will be posting some great ideas for using up leftover food from great soups to homemade hair conditioner! Simpler Recycling Did you know that from March 31, all student halls across the country will be required to separate food waste? This means that instead of unused food going to landfill and producing greenhouse gases as it rots, it will be sent to treatment plants where it will be made into biofuel. There will be lots more information on what can and can’t be recycled coming soon. If you have any questions, just ask your site teams — we’re here to help! Earth Hour Started in Sydney, this now global event asks us to switch off lights and electrical items for an hour on 22 March from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. and enjoy the peace and quiet. No competitions for this, just take a positive step to join a global movement and help tackle climate change! Plastic Cleared Challenge Single-use plastics are everywhere — from packaging to takeaway boxes. This April, join our campus-wide challenge to cut plastic waste. Bring your own bags, bottles, and cups. Our Green Representatives will run workshops on spotting hidden plastics and making sustainable swaps. Snap a photo of your plastic-free lunch, share it with Plastic Cleared Challenge, and tag us for a chance to win a zero-waste starter kit! 21. What is the purpose of the activities? A.

Leading a less-plastic life. C. Stopping plastic pollution. D. Reducing CO₂ emission. B In a village a few kilometres from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp (虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seaside of Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Upon arrival, she puts on bright yellow waterproof overalls and ties ropes and a large net behind the horse. Two baskets are placed at the animal’s sides. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating “shockwaves” that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pressure pushes the catch to the back. After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her “co-worker” return to shore. She empties the net, washes and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non- target species. Bekaert is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formerly known as East Dunkirk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival, events funded by the government to keep the craft alive. Nowadays, the old-fashioned method has been entirely replaced by commercial development except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government ever since. The East Dunkirk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. “The tradition is very important,” Bekaert notes. “I’m happy to help preserve and share it.” 24. What makes Bekaert’s shrimp fishing unusual? A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net. C. Her protective equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast. 25. Which word can best describe Bekaert’s method of sorting the catch? A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient. 26.

C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks, such as writing or solving math problems, require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’ re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’ re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 28. People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 29. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________ . A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 30. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Overestimation promotes efficiency. B. Personal perception determines motivation. C. Focusing on rewards enhances performance. D. Brain counteraction triggers positive emotions. 31. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. D In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy. In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener. ” After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her. Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might. Research like ours can help people gain a ‘more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions. 32. What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers? A. Speaking a little less is preferred. B. Speaking half the time is the best. C. Listeners are more likable than speakers. D. Listeners fail to control the conversations. 33. How was the research carried out? A. By analyzing speaking habits. B. By making comparisons. C. By listing examples. D. By collecting data. 34. What is the disadvantage of the research? A. The conversation time is limited. B. Further study is hard to continue. C. The findings are less widely appliable. D. Interactions with strangers are missing. 35. In which situation can the research finding be applied? A. Attending a family gathering. B. Partying with your friends. C. Meeting a new teacher. D. Making a public speech. 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words?

This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. _____37_____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. _____38_____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. _____39_____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. _____40_____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques can be tailored based on reading levels. 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。 It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, with a simple ____41_: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a(n) ___42__, free of charge. “We want to ____43___ the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,” says Erin Achenbach, one of What Cheer’s farmers.

He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head. Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me. It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish — he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then. “That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿) tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank. “No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone. As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned. “Maybe you just need a little bit luck,” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better. That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter — I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman. 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。 Paragraph 1: Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Para. 1 Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. I strung the rod, baited the hook and cast the line — just as Grandpa had shown me. Then I waited — through the first light of dawn, through the birds’ morning songs, and through the growing ache in my arms. Suddenly the tip of my pole jerked violently. Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight. The trout ran deep, then burst to the surface, flapping his tail and shaking his head wildly. After a long, fierce battle, I finally reeled him into the shallows — silver, enormous, and beautiful beyond words. I had caught Walter! Para. 2 When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. Somehow, my thrill ebbed. The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands. Something tightened in my throat. Then Grandpa’s words came back to me: some fish are meant to stay in the river. I knelt down, eased the hook from his lip, and set him back into the river. But just before he swam off, I thought I saw the corner of his mouth lift in a great wide smile. I stood there empty-handed, but somehow my chest felt full. Maybe, I thought, that made me a better fisherman than any newspaper picture ever could. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Have you always lived in america?
