All events are free and open to every student. ● Stand-up Workshop (Monday 9 Dec. 4:00-5:30 p.m., Room 301) Local comedian Mark Yeung will show you how to turn everyday school life into comic material — the endless canteen queue, the unspoken rules of group projects, the strange language of the school notice board. You will write a short set and perform it for your classmates. No experience is needed; bring a notebook. ● The Science of Laughter (Tuesday 10 Dec. 12:30-1:10 p.m., Science Lecture Hall) Dr Chen, a psychologist, explains why human beings laugh long before they can speak, how shared laughter builds trust between strangers, and why ten minutes of genuine laughter can lower stress levels almost as effectively as light exercise. A short video of babies laughing will be shown. ● Comedy Film Night (Wednesday 11 Dec. 7:00-9:00 p.m., School Hall) Three short comedies chosen by the Film Society, followed by a ten-minute discussion: why is a scene funny in one culture but flat in another? Popcorn is provided; bring your own cushion. ● The Big Joke Exchange (Friday 13 Dec. lunchtime, Front Playground) Write your best clean joke on a card and drop it into the box outside the library. At lunchtime the cards are exchanged at random, and the student who makes the crowd laugh the loudest wins a hand-made “Golden Smile” medal. The judges are three teachers and one very serious cat. 1. Which event should a student attend to learn how to create comedy from school life? A. Stand-up Workshop. B. The Science of Laughter. C. Comedy Film Night. D. The Big Joke Exchange. 2. What will Dr Chen’s talk focus on? A. How to write jokes. B. Why laughter matters to human beings. C. How to produce a comedy film. D. How to win a medal. 3. What is special about The Big Joke Exchange? A. It requires previous experience. B. It lasts two hours. C. Jokes are exchanged at random. D. It is held in the School Hall. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍阳光中学首届“大声笑出来周”四项活动的时间、地点、内容及特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stand-up Workshop部分中的“Local comedian Mark Yeung will show you how to turn everyday school life into comic material — the endless canteen queue, the unspoken rules of group projects, the strange language of the school notice board.(当地喜剧演员Mark Yeung将向你展示如何把日常校园生活转化为喜剧素材 —— 无尽的食堂排队、小组作业的潜规则、学校公告栏上奇怪的语言)”可知，学生想学习如何从校园生活中创作喜剧，应参加Stand-up Workshop。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Science of Laughter部分中的“Dr Chen, a psychologist, explains why human beings laugh long before they can speak, how shared laughter builds trust between strangers, and why ten minutes of genuine laughter can lower stress levels almost as effectively as light exercise.(心理学家陈博士解释了为什么人类在会说话之前很久就会笑，共同的笑声如何在陌生人之间建立信任，以及为什么十分钟真诚的笑声几乎能像轻度运动一样有效地降低压力水平)”可知，陈博士的讲座聚焦于笑对人类的意义。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Big Joke Exchange部分中的“At lunchtime the cards are exchanged at random, and the student who makes the crowd laugh the loudest wins a hand-made “Golden Smile” medal.(午餐时间，卡片被随机交换，最能让人群大笑的学生将赢得一枚手工制作的“金色微笑”奖牌)”可知，The Big Joke Exchange的特别之处在于笑话卡片被随机交换。 B For eight years, Duan Xiaomei has walked into the children’s ward of No. 1 People’s Hospital wearing a red nose, oversized shoes and a name that nobody believes: Dr Bubble. She is not a doctor. She is a “hospital clown”, one of a small but growing group in China trained to work alongside medical staff and to use humour to help young patients deal with fear, pain and long days of treatment. The work is far harder than it looks. Before entering a ward, Duan checks with the nurses about each child’s condition. She never enters a room uninvited, never jokes about illness, and never touches medical equipment. Her tools are simple: a balloon animal, a squeaky voice, a pair of sunglasses that can “see through” bandages. “The moment a child laughs, he stops being a patient for a few seconds,” she says. “That is when his body relaxes and the medicine works better.” Not every child responds. Some are too weak, some are angry, and some simply stare at the wall. Duan has learned to read these signals. With a teenager who refuses to speak, she may sit quietly and fold a paper plane, leaving it on the bed without a word. Hours later the plane sometimes comes flying back across the room. Her hardest lesson came early. In her first month she made a joke about a bitter medicine, and a five-year-old boy burst into tears. “I thought I was being funny,” she says. “I was actually reminding him of something he was trying to forget.” Since then she has kept one rule: humour must never be at the patient’s expense. Today Duan trains new clowns and keeps a notebook of “small victories” — a child who asked for her by name, a mother who smiled for the first time in a week, a boy who finally ate his lunch because the spoon had a face on it. “People think laughter is a light thing,” she says. “In a hospital, it is as necessary as the medicine.” 4. What is Duan Xiaomei’s job at the hospital? A. A children’s doctor. B. A ward nurse. C. A hospital clown. D. A cleaner. 5. What does Duan do before she enters a ward? A. She puts on her make-up. B. She checks each child’s condition with the nurses. C. She prepares the medicine. D. She asks the parents to leave. 6. How does Duan deal with a teenager who refuses to talk? A. She tells a joke in a loud voice. B. She leaves the room at once. C. She sits quietly and leaves a paper plane. D. She asks the doctor for help. 7. What lesson did Duan learn from the five-year-old boy? A. Children dislike bitter medicine. B. Humour must never be at the patient’s expense. C. Jokes work better on older children. D. Clowns should not enter children’s wards. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“医院小丑”段小梅用幽默帮助患病儿童应对恐惧和痛苦，以及她从中领悟到的职业准则。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She is not a doctor. She is a ‌“hospital clown”, one of a small but growing group in China trained to work alongside medical staff and to use humour to help young patients deal with fear, pain and long days of treatment.(她不是医生。她是一名“医院小丑”，属于中国一个规模虽小但不断壮大的群体，他们接受培训，与医务人员并肩工作，用幽默帮助年轻患者应对恐惧、痛苦和漫长的治疗日子。)”可知，段小梅在医院的工作是“医院小丑”。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before entering a ward, Duan checks with the nurses about each child’s condition.(在进入病房前，段小梅会向护士了解每个孩子的情况。)”可知，她进入病房前会和护士核对孩子的情况。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With a teenager who refuses to speak, she may sit quietly and fold a paper plane, leaving it on the bed without a word.(对于拒绝说话的青少年，她可能会静静地坐着折纸飞机，一言不发地把它留在床上。)”可知，面对不愿说话的青少年，她会安静地坐着并留下一个纸飞机。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In her first month she made a joke about a bitter medicine, and a five-year-old boy burst into tears. ‌“I thought I was being funny,” she says. ‌“I was actually reminding him of something he was trying to forget.” Since then she has kept one rule: humour must never be at the patient’s expense.(在她第一个月时，她拿苦药开了个玩笑，一个五岁男孩突然大哭起来。“我以为我很幽默，”她说。“我实际上是在提醒他一些他试图忘记的事情。”从那以后，她一直遵守一个原则：幽默绝不能以病人为代价。)”可知，她从这件事中吸取的教训是幽默绝不能以病人为代价。 C Most of us admire people who keep going when things fall apart, and we usually explain their success by saying they were born with willpower. Psychologists are not so sure. In a series of studies at Fudan University, researchers followed 320 first-year university students for two semesters. Students who reported higher levels of what psychologists call perseverance did not necessarily study for longer hours. What set them apart was the way they explained setbacks. When they failed an exam, they were far more likely to describe the cause as something they could change — a poor revision plan, too little sleep — rather than as a fixed lack of ability. This matters because explanation drives behaviour. A student who believes the problem is his strategy will rewrite his timetable; a student who believes the problem is himself will simply stop trying. The researchers also found that a short training programme teaching students to reframe failure as information closed almost half of the gap between the two groups within a single semester. Perseverance, then, is less a personality than a habit, and habits can be built. Three practices appear again and again in the research. The first is to make the next step small enough that it cannot be refused: ten minutes of revision rather than an entire chapter. The second is to keep a written record of past difficulties that were overcome, because the memory of failure is far more vivid than the memory of recovery. The third is to connect the goal to something larger than personal success; students who gave a reason beyond themselves — a family expectation, a wish to work in a rural clinic — reported far less desire to quit. None of this makes failure pleasant. But it does suggest something hopeful: the difference between giving up and going on is often not talent, but the story we tell ourselves about what went wrong. 8. What did the Fudan study find about students with perseverance? A. They studied for much longer hours. B. They were born with stronger willpower. C. They explained setbacks as something changeable. D. They never failed an examination. 9. Why does the way students explain failure matter? A. It drives their behaviour. B. It changes their intelligence. C. It decides their school timetable. D. It shapes their teachers’ attitudes. 10. Which of the following is one of the three practices mentioned? A. Setting as large a goal as possible. B. Keeping a record of difficulties overcome. C. Avoiding any kind of failure. D. Studying a whole chapter at one time. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Perseverance is inborn rather than learned. B. Perseverance is a habit that can be built. C. Failure should be avoided at any cost. D. Talent matters more than effort. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了复旦大学的研究发现，毅力并非天生，而是可以通过改变对失败的归因方式和培养习惯来建立。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When they failed an exam, they were far more likely to describe the cause as something they could change — a poor revision plan, too little sleep — rather than as a fixed lack of ability.(当他们考试失败时，他们更可能把原因描述为可以改变的事情——糟糕的复习计划、睡眠太少——而不是固定的能力不足。)”可知，复旦大学的研究发现，有毅力的学生把挫折解释为可以改变的事情。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This matters because explanation drives behaviour.(这很重要，因为解释驱动行为。)”可知，学生解释失败的方式之所以重要，是因为它驱动他们的行为。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The second is to keep a written record of past difficulties that were overcome, because the memory of failure is far more vivid than the memory of recovery.(第二种是书面记录过去克服的困难，因为对失败的记忆远比恢复的记忆更生动。)”可知，记录克服过的困难是三种做法之一。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第四段中“Perseverance, then, is less a personality than a habit, and habits can be built.(既然如此，毅力与其说是一种性格，不如说是一种习惯，而习惯是可以建立的。)”以及最后一段中“But it does suggest something hopeful: the difference between giving up and going on is often not talent, but the story we tell ourselves about what went wrong.(但这确实暗示了一些充满希望的东西：放弃与坚持之间的区别往往不是天赋，而是我们对自己出了什么问题所讲述的故事。)”可知，文章主要论述了毅力是一种可以培养的习惯。 D When the International Olympic Committee added the word “Together” to its old motto in 2021, some people dismissed it as a slogan. In fact, the change points to something that sport has always known and modern life keeps forgetting: excellence is not a solo achievement. Consider the relay race. Four runners may each be faster than their opposite numbers and still lose, because the baton must be passed in a narrow zone, at speed, by two people who cannot look at each other. The race is won in the exchange. Coaches often say that a team of stars loses to a star team, and they are not being poetic; they are describing something measurable. Yet schools and parents increasingly reward the individual. Trophies go to the fastest child; the highlight video shows the scorer, never the player who drew two defenders away so that the scorer was free. Over time this teaches talented young athletes a dangerous lesson: that their teammates are background. Research on youth sport in Britain found that players who were praised only for personal statistics were more likely to have quit the game by the age of sixteen, while those whose coaches noticed defensive work and encouragement stayed in it far longer. None of this argues against ambition. The desire to run faster, jump higher and grow stronger is exactly what makes sport worth watching. But the motto’s original three words were never meant to describe a competition between runners; they describe a person’s struggle with his own limits. Adding “Together” simply makes the condition of that struggle visible. Nobody breaks a record alone. 12. What does the author say about the relay race? A. It is won mainly by the fastest runner. B. It is often decided by the baton exchange. C. It requires runners to look at each other. D. It is less popular than individual races. 13. What problem does the author see in youth sport? A. Too much attention is paid to individual achievement. B. Children are not trained hard enough. C. Coaches care little about winning. D. Teams have far too many members. 14. What did the research in Britain find? A. Players praised only for personal statistics often quit early. B. British teenagers are less athletic than before. C. Defensive work matters more than scoring. D. Coaches should avoid praising players. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the change of the Olympic motto? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Approving. D. Critical. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了卓越并非个人成就，团队合作至关重要，并批评了过度奖励个人的现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Consider the relay race. Four runners may each be faster than their opposite numbers and still lose, because the baton must be passed in a narrow zone, at speed, by two people who cannot look at each other. The race is won in the exchange.(以接力赛为例。四名跑者可能每个人都比对手快，却仍然会输，因为接力棒必须在狭窄的区域内、以高速由两个无法对视的人传递。比赛的胜负在于交接。)”可知，接力赛的结果通常由交接棒过程决定。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet schools and parents increasingly reward the individual. Trophies go to the fastest child; the highlight video shows the scorer, never the player who drew two defenders away so that the scorer was free.(然而，学校和父母越来越奖励个人。奖杯颁给跑得最快的孩子；集锦视频展示得分手，从不展示那个吸引两名防守队员为得分手创造空当的球员。)”可知，作者认为青少年体育中的问题是过多关注个人成就。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Research on youth sport in Britain found that players who were praised only for personal statistics were more likely to have quit the game by the age of sixteen, while those whose coaches noticed defensive work and encouragement stayed in it far longer.(英国一项关于青少年体育的研究发现，只因个人数据受表扬的球员更可能在16岁前退出比赛，而那些教练关注防守工作和鼓励的球员则坚持得久得多。)”可知，研究发现只因个人数据受表扬的球员通常会过早退出。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In fact, the change points to something that sport has always known and modern life keeps forgetting: excellence is not a solo achievement.(事实上，这一变化指向体育一直知道而现代生活却不断遗忘的东西：卓越不是个人成就。)”以及最后一段中“Adding ‌“Together” simply makes the condition of that struggle visible. Nobody breaks a record alone.(加入“更团结”只是让这种奋斗的条件变得可见。没有人能独自打破纪录。)”可知，作者对奥林匹克格言中加入“Together”持认可和赞同态度。 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项。 It is easy to be funny when everything is going well. ____16____ Yet humour is often most useful exactly when life stops being amusing. Psychologists call this “coping humour”, and it is a skill, not a gift. Coping humour is not about pretending that a problem does not exist. ____17____ Instead of “This is hopeless”, you might say, “Well, at least the roof only leaks when it rains.” The difficulty is still there, but it has been moved from a wall to a door. Research suggests that this small shift matters. In one study, people who used gentle humour while describing a setback reported lower stress and were more likely to name a concrete next step. ____18____ They were also better company, which usually means that more practical help arrived. So how do you build it? Start by collecting, not creating. Keep a note on your phone of the things that made you smile — a friend’s small mistake, a badly written sign, your own burnt toast. ____19____ When you need it, you will not have to invent cheerfulness; you will simply remember it. Second, aim the joke at the situation, not at a person. Laughing at yourself is safe; laughing at someone else’s bad luck is not humour but cruelty, and it will cost you more than it gains. ____20____ A. Humour that hurts others is not humour at all. B. On bad days, read the list before you do anything else. C. It is about changing the size of the problem in your mind. D. They felt calmer and, more importantly, they acted sooner. E. Hard times are the best teachers of real courage. F. Being funny is a natural talent that very few people have. G. The trouble is that difficult moments are precisely when jokes seem to disappear. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“应对型幽默”，阐述它不是天赋而是一种技能，能够帮助人们在困境中减轻压力、积极面对挫折，并讲解了培养这种幽默的方法与注意事项。 【16题详解】 根据前文“It is easy to be funny when everything is going well.(一切顺利的时候，幽默很容易做到。)”以及空后一句“Yet humour is often most useful exactly when life stops being amusing.(然而幽默往往在生活不再有趣的时候最有用。)”可知，空前讲顺境容易幽默，空后用yet转折引出逆境更需要幽默；故推知：空处要表达困境下人们很难讲笑话，承接前文，和后文构成转折逻辑，选项G“The trouble is that difficult moments are precisely when jokes seem to disappear.(问题就在于，恰恰在艰难时刻，玩笑似乎消失不见了。)”符合原文内容。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Coping humour is not about pretending that a problem does not exist.(应对型幽默并不是假装问题不存在。)”以及空后一句“Instead of “This is hopeless”, you might say, “Well, at least the roof only leaks when it rains.”(不说“这毫无希望”，你可以说“好吧，至少屋顶只在下雨时漏水”)”可知，空前有not about (不是……)，后文用instead举例说明看待问题的新角度；not about要和it is about形成固定对照结构，选项C“It is about changing the size of the problem in your mind.(它是改变问题在你心中的分量。)”符合原文内容。 【18题详解】 根据前文“In one study, people who used gentle humour while describing a setback reported lower stress and were more likely to name a concrete next step.(在一项研究中，用温和幽默描述挫折的人压力更低，更有可能说出具体下一步计划。)”以及空后一句“They were also better company, which usually means that more practical help arrived.(他们也更讨人喜欢，这通常意味着能获得更多实际帮助。)”可知，主语they指代参与实验的人，also提示空处是研究带来的另一项积极结果，和前后文并列；选项D“They felt calmer and, more importantly, they acted sooner.(他们感觉更平静，更重要的是，行动更早。)”符合原文内容。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Keep a note on your phone of the things that made you smile — a friend’s small mistake, a badly written sign, your own burnt toast.(在手机上记下那些让你会心一笑的事——朋友的小失误、写得很糟糕的标牌、烤糊的面包。)”以及空后一句“When you need it, you will not have to invent cheerfulness; you will simply remember it.(当你需要的时候，不必强行制造快乐，只需要回忆起来就好。)”可知，空前说建立一个记录趣事清单，空后讲需要的时候使用；故推知：空处会继续说明如何使用这份清单，衔接前后文。选项B“On bad days, read the list before you do anything else.(日子艰难时，先读一读这份清单再做别的事。)”符合原文内容。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Laughing at yourself is safe; laughing at someone else’s bad luck is not humour but cruelty, and it will cost you more than it gains.(自嘲是安全的；嘲笑别人的不幸不是幽默而是残忍，得不偿失。)”可知，空前强调不要拿别人的不幸开玩笑；故推知：空处总结伤害他人的并不是真正的幽默，选项A“Humour that hurts others is not humour at all.(伤害他人的幽默根本算不上幽默。)”符合原文内容。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was the shortest boy in my class and, for a long time, the only one who still wanted to play basketball. At the first training session of Senior 1, the coach measured us and then looked at me for a second longer than necessary. “The court is a big place for a small player,” he said. It was not ____21____, but it was honest. I went home and told my father I was going to quit. He asked me one question: “Do you ____22____ the game, or do you just like the idea of winning?” I thought about it for a long time. The next morning I was back on the court at six. That year I did not play a single minute in an official match. What I did instead was ____23____. I practised dribbling with my eyes closed until the ball felt like part of my hand. I studied how older players ____24____ space, how they moved without the ball, and how a well-timed pass could ____25____ a defender who was taller and faster than me. The change came slowly, then all at once. In a training game before the city tournament, the coach put me on for the last five minutes. My hands were shaking, but the years of ____26____ took over. I made two steals and ____27____ a three-point shot that surprised even me. After the match the coach said nothing. He simply ____28____ my shoulder. We lost the final by two points and I scored only four. Yet when I look back, that season taught me something no trophy could: ability is a ____29____, but character is a choice. You cannot ____30____ how tall you grow, but you can decide how hard you work, how you treat your teammates, and whether you ____31____ when things go wrong. Years later I read about a professional player who was told he was too short and too weak to succeed. He became one of the greatest shooters in history — not by ____32____ his body, but by sharpening his skills and his ____33____ in himself. I smiled when I read it. I had met that story before, in a small school gym, at six o’clock in the morning, ____34____ nobody was watching and the only sound was a ball hitting the floor. That, I think, is what sport really ____35____: not the medal, but the person you become while reaching for it. 21. A. encouraging B. reasonable C. interesting D. necessary 22.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了身为班级最矮学生的作者坚持篮球训练，通过刻苦练习克服身高劣势，领悟到能力是天赋而品格是选择，体育真正教会人的是追求过程中的自我成长。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这不是鼓励人的话，但很诚实。A. encouraging鼓励人的；B. reasonable合理的；C. interesting有趣的；D. necessary必要的。根据前文“At the first training session of Senior 1, the coach measured us and then looked at me for a second longer than necessary.”及后文“but it was honest”可知，这句话虽然诚实但并不让人受鼓舞。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：他问了我一个问题：“你是热爱这项运动，还是仅仅喜欢赢的感觉？”A. love热爱；B. watch观看；C. know知道；D. change改变。根据后文“I thought about it for a long time. The next morning I was back on the court at six.”可知，作者思考后第二天早上六点回到球场，说明父亲是在问他是否真正热爱篮球这项运动。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：我所做的就是练习。A. wait等待；B. practise练习；C. rest休息；D. complain抱怨。根据后文“I practised dribbling with my eyes closed until the ball felt like part of my hand.”可知，作者花时间进行训练。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我研究老球员如何利用空间，无球时如何移动，以及恰到时机的传球如何能迷惑比我更高更快的防守者。A. waste浪费；B. measure测量；C. leave离开；D. use利用。根据后文“space”可知，作者学习老球员利用空间的方式。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. beat击败；B. follow跟随；C. confuse迷惑；D. protect保护。根据常识，巧妙的传球可以迷惑防守者。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：我的手在颤抖，但多年的练习接管了一切。A. practice练习；B. luck运气；C. fear恐惧；D. anger愤怒。根据前文作者日复一日的训练可知，此处指多年的练习起了作用。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：我完成了两次抢断，并投中了一个连自己都惊讶的三分球。A. missed错过；B. hit击中，命中；C. dropped掉落；D. kicked踢。根据后文“surprised even me”可知，作者投中了三分球。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：他只是拍了拍我的肩膀。A. patted轻拍；B. washed洗；C. examined检查；D. covered覆盖。根据前文“I made two steals and ________ a three-point shot that surprised even me.”可知，教练对作者的表现表示赞许，应该是拍了拍肩膀。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，当我回首往事时，那个赛季教会了我一些任何奖杯都无法教会我的东西：能力是一种天赋，但品格是一种选择。A. gift天赋；B. habit习惯；C. secret秘密；D. problem问题。根据后文“character is a choice”的对比可知，能力是与生俱来的天赋。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：你无法控制自己长得多高，但你可以决定自己有多努力，如何对待队友，以及当事情出错时是否放弃。A. decide决定；B. control控制；C. remember记得；D. explain解释。根据后文“how tall you grow”以及常识可知，身高是天生的，无法控制。 【31题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：同上。A. give up放弃；B. show off炫耀；C. set out出发；D. turn back返回。根据后文“when things go wrong”可知，此处指遇到困难时是否放弃。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：他成为历史上最伟大的射手之一——不是通过改变自己的身体，而是通过磨练自己的技能和对自己的信念。A. examining检查；B. hiding隐藏；C. changing改变；D. protecting保护。根据前文作者身高不足可知，那位职业球员没有改变身体条件，而是提升技术。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. doubt怀疑；B. pride骄傲；C. interest兴趣；D. belief信念。根据前文“You cannot ________ how tall you grow, but you can decide how hard you work, how you treat your teammates, and whether you ________ when things go wrong.”可知，成功源于对自身的信念。 【34题详解】 考查连词。句意：我以前就遇到过这个故事，在一个小学校体育馆，早上六点，当没有人在看，唯一的声音是球击打地板时。A. because因为；B. when当……时；C. unless除非；D. though尽管。根据空前“at six o’clock in the morning”可知，此处是定语从句，先行词是six o'clock in the morning，且关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用when引导该从句。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：我想，这才是运动真正回报我们的东西：不是奖牌，而是你在追逐目标过程中成为的更好的自己。A. requires要求；B. teaches教；C. proves证明；D. rewards奖励，回报。根据后文“not the medal”可知，运动最终带给人的回报不是奖牌，而是个人品格的成长。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The new film Once Upon a Time in the Middle East (欢迎来龙餐馆) starring Shen Teng is a big hit.

I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently. “Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin. The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race. “Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark. “6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to burn as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me. 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。 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and “failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t give up so easily, will you? ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder. In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important, isn’t it? ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered for us not for winning a race but for something more important. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加全州范围的跑步，在第二英里的时候，因为力尽而摔倒，跑他前面的男孩，鼓励作者，并帮助他一起跑完全程，最后作者明白，比赛中赢不是最重要的，坚持和友谊才是。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我鼓起力量加速，但突然倒在地上。”可知，第一段可描写作者摔倒了后的心情，以及男孩鼓励并帮助作者继续跑下去。 ②由第二段首句内容“跑到最后一英里时，看到运动员们一个接一个地从我们身边经过，我让那个男孩自己跑。”可知，第二段可描写男孩子告诉作者，比赛中赢不是最重要的，并最终帮助作者一起跑过终点和作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：作者摔倒——男孩帮助——劝男孩放弃自己——男孩拒绝——一起跑过终点——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①凝视：stare at/gaze at ②(使)变宽：widen/extend/enlarge ③赢得一席之地：win a place/earn a slot ④知道：know/realize/comprehend 情绪类 ①绝望：clouded by total darkness/hopeless/desperate ②如释重负：relieved./in relief 【点睛】[高分句型1]Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners.(as if从句中使用虚拟语气) [高分句型2]The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 榆次一中高二年级第一学期10月考试 英语试题 （测试范围：外研版高中英语选择性必修第一册 Unit 1 — Unit 3） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3．回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意：听力部分答题时，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

All events are free and open to every student. ● Stand-up Workshop (Monday 9 Dec. 4:00-5:30 p.m., Room 301) Local comedian Mark Yeung will show you how to turn everyday school life into comic material — the endless canteen queue, the unspoken rules of group projects, the strange language of the school notice board. You will write a short set and perform it for your classmates. No experience is needed; bring a notebook. ● The Science of Laughter (Tuesday 10 Dec. 12:30-1:10 p.m., Science Lecture Hall) Dr Chen, a psychologist, explains why human beings laugh long before they can speak, how shared laughter builds trust between strangers, and why ten minutes of genuine laughter can lower stress levels almost as effectively as light exercise. A short video of babies laughing will be shown. ● Comedy Film Night (Wednesday 11 Dec. 7:00-9:00 p.m., School Hall) Three short comedies chosen by the Film Society, followed by a ten-minute discussion: why is a scene funny in one culture but flat in another? Popcorn is provided; bring your own cushion. ● The Big Joke Exchange (Friday 13 Dec. lunchtime, Front Playground) Write your best clean joke on a card and drop it into the box outside the library. At lunchtime the cards are exchanged at random, and the student who makes the crowd laugh the loudest wins a hand-made “Golden Smile” medal. The judges are three teachers and one very serious cat. 1. Which event should a student attend to learn how to create comedy from school life? A. Stand-up Workshop. B. The Science of Laughter. C. Comedy Film Night. D. The Big Joke Exchange. 2. What will Dr Chen’s talk focus on? A. How to write jokes. B. Why laughter matters to human beings. C. How to produce a comedy film. D. How to win a medal. 3. What is special about The Big Joke Exchange? A. It requires previous experience. B. It lasts two hours. C. Jokes are exchanged at random. D. It is held in the School Hall. B For eight years, Duan Xiaomei has walked into the children’s ward of No. 1 People’s Hospital wearing a red nose, oversized shoes and a name that nobody believes: Dr Bubble. She is not a doctor. She is a “hospital clown”, one of a small but growing group in China trained to work alongside medical staff and to use humour to help young patients deal with fear, pain and long days of treatment. The work is far harder than it looks. Before entering a ward, Duan checks with the nurses about each child’s condition. She never enters a room uninvited, never jokes about illness, and never touches medical equipment. Her tools are simple: a balloon animal, a squeaky voice, a pair of sunglasses that can “see through” bandages. “The moment a child laughs, he stops being a patient for a few seconds,” she says. “That is when his body relaxes and the medicine works better.” Not every child responds. Some are too weak, some are angry, and some simply stare at the wall. Duan has learned to read these signals. With a teenager who refuses to speak, she may sit quietly and fold a paper plane, leaving it on the bed without a word. Hours later the plane sometimes comes flying back across the room. Her hardest lesson came early. In her first month she made a joke about a bitter medicine, and a five-year-old boy burst into tears. “I thought I was being funny,” she says. “I was actually reminding him of something he was trying to forget.” Since then she has kept one rule: humour must never be at the patient’s expense. Today Duan trains new clowns and keeps a notebook of “small victories” — a child who asked for her by name, a mother who smiled for the first time in a week, a boy who finally ate his lunch because the spoon had a face on it. “People think laughter is a light thing,” she says. “In a hospital, it is as necessary as the medicine.” 4. What is Duan Xiaomei’s job at the hospital? A. A children’s doctor. B. A ward nurse. C. A hospital clown. D. A cleaner. 5. What does Duan do before she enters a ward? A. She puts on her make-up. B. She checks each child’s condition with the nurses. C. She prepares the medicine. D. She asks the parents to leave. 6. How does Duan deal with a teenager who refuses to talk? A. She tells a joke in a loud voice. B. She leaves the room at once. C. She sits quietly and leaves a paper plane. D. She asks the doctor for help. 7. What lesson did Duan learn from the five-year-old boy? A. Children dislike bitter medicine. B. Humour must never be at the patient’s expense. C. Jokes work better on older children. D. Clowns should not enter children’s wards. C Most of us admire people who keep going when things fall apart, and we usually explain their success by saying they were born with willpower. Psychologists are not so sure. In a series of studies at Fudan University, researchers followed 320 first-year university students for two semesters. Students who reported higher levels of what psychologists call perseverance did not necessarily study for longer hours. What set them apart was the way they explained setbacks. When they failed an exam, they were far more likely to describe the cause as something they could change — a poor revision plan, too little sleep — rather than as a fixed lack of ability. This matters because explanation drives behaviour. A student who believes the problem is his strategy will rewrite his timetable; a student who believes the problem is himself will simply stop trying. The researchers also found that a short training programme teaching students to reframe failure as information closed almost half of the gap between the two groups within a single semester. Perseverance, then, is less a personality than a habit, and habits can be built. Three practices appear again and again in the research. The first is to make the next step small enough that it cannot be refused: ten minutes of revision rather than an entire chapter. The second is to keep a written record of past difficulties that were overcome, because the memory of failure is far more vivid than the memory of recovery. The third is to connect the goal to something larger than personal success; students who gave a reason beyond themselves — a family expectation, a wish to work in a rural clinic — reported far less desire to quit. None of this makes failure pleasant. But it does suggest something hopeful: the difference between giving up and going on is often not talent, but the story we tell ourselves about what went wrong. 8. What did the Fudan study find about students with perseverance? A. They studied for much longer hours. B. They were born with stronger willpower. C. They explained setbacks as something changeable. D. They never failed an examination. 9. Why does the way students explain failure matter? A. It drives their behaviour. B. It changes their intelligence. C. It decides their school timetable. D. It shapes their teachers’ attitudes. 10. Which of the following is one of the three practices mentioned? A. Setting as large a goal as possible. B. Keeping a record of difficulties overcome. C. Avoiding any kind of failure. D. Studying a whole chapter at one time. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Perseverance is inborn rather than learned. B. Perseverance is a habit that can be built. C. Failure should be avoided at any cost. D. Talent matters more than effort. D When the International Olympic Committee added the word “Together” to its old motto in 2021, some people dismissed it as a slogan. In fact, the change points to something that sport has always known and modern life keeps forgetting: excellence is not a solo achievement. Consider the relay race. Four runners may each be faster than their opposite numbers and still lose, because the baton must be passed in a narrow zone, at speed, by two people who cannot look at each other. The race is won in the exchange. Coaches often say that a team of stars loses to a star team, and they are not being poetic; they are describing something measurable. Yet schools and parents increasingly reward the individual. Trophies go to the fastest child; the highlight video shows the scorer, never the player who drew two defenders away so that the scorer was free. Over time this teaches talented young athletes a dangerous lesson: that their teammates are background. Research on youth sport in Britain found that players who were praised only for personal statistics were more likely to have quit the game by the age of sixteen, while those whose coaches noticed defensive work and encouragement stayed in it far longer. None of this argues against ambition. The desire to run faster, jump higher and grow stronger is exactly what makes sport worth watching. But the motto’s original three words were never meant to describe a competition between runners; they describe a person’s struggle with his own limits. Adding “Together” simply makes the condition of that struggle visible. Nobody breaks a record alone. 12. What does the author say about the relay race? A. It is won mainly by the fastest runner. B. It is often decided by the baton exchange. C. It requires runners to look at each other. D. It is less popular than individual races. 13. What problem does the author see in youth sport? A. Too much attention is paid to individual achievement. B. Children are not trained hard enough. C. Coaches care little about winning. D. Teams have far too many members. 14. What did the research in Britain find? A. Players praised only for personal statistics often quit early. B. British teenagers are less athletic than before. C. Defensive work matters more than scoring. D. Coaches should avoid praising players. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the change of the Olympic motto? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Approving. D. Critical. 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项。 It is easy to be funny when everything is going well. ____16____ Yet humour is often most useful exactly when life stops being amusing. Psychologists call this “coping humour”, and it is a skill, not a gift. Coping humour is not about pretending that a problem does not exist. ____17____ Instead of “This is hopeless”, you might say, “Well, at least the roof only leaks when it rains.” The difficulty is still there, but it has been moved from a wall to a door. Research suggests that this small shift matters. In one study, people who used gentle humour while describing a setback reported lower stress and were more likely to name a concrete next step. ____18____ They were also better company, which usually means that more practical help arrived. So how do you build it? Start by collecting, not creating. Keep a note on your phone of the things that made you smile — a friend’s small mistake, a badly written sign, your own burnt toast. ____19____ When you need it, you will not have to invent cheerfulness; you will simply remember it. Second, aim the joke at the situation, not at a person.

I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently. “Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin. The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race. “Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark. “6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to burn as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me. 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。 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
