From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth? This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He created the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words, don’t make stuff up. In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature”? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth. When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer. Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books thinking why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet. Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. 24．Occam’s razor indicates that ________. A．explanations should be consistent with purposes B．sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena C．reasonable explanations are rarely surprising D．simpler explanations should be preferred 25．Why is Newton’s view on simplicity problematic? A．It assumes unknown truths. B．It lacks experimental support. C．It conflicts quantum physics. D．It overlooks biological complexity. 26．What is against tobacco industry’s “simple” cancer claim? A．Random chance occurrence. B．Disease’s natural complexity. C．Long-term health statistics. D．Smokers’ behavioral differences. 27．It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________. A．follow the laws of nature. B．balance accuracy and simplicity. C．interpret the world as it is. D．highlight the existence of entities. C Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy (星系), known as an Einstein ring. Astronomers were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before around the well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505. Einstein rings form when light from a more distant galaxy bends around a closer galaxy, creating the appearance of a circle of light around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space, a phenomenon called “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).” The American space agency NASA explains that as light passes through a gravitational lens, it may take different paths, producing multiple images of the same object. In this way, gravity acts as a lens, curving the path of light, making distant objects appear larger and twisted. Gravitational lenses allow telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects. In the latest project, researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. The Euclid space telescope, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy across the universe. Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute are leading the research. The first sign of the Einstein ring came during testing right after Euclid was put into use. Altieri’s team noticed the ring and reported the findings in a study in the publication Astronomy and Astrophysics. Conor O’Riordan, another team member and the lead writer of the study, said this ring is particularly special because it’s close to Earth and has a beautiful arrangement. The researchers used the latest gravitational lensing methods to model the light of the ring and plan to use it to study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy. O’Riordan predicted that Euclid will revolutionize the field with all the new data. 28．What is stated about the Einstein ring in paragraph 1? A．It was first discovered by NASA’s space telescope. B．Einstein observed this ring to prove his theory. C．It forms due to the bending of light around galaxies. D．The ring is located inside the galaxy NGC 6505. 29．What can be inferred about gravitational lensing from the passage? A．It prevents telescopes from observing distant objects clearly. B．It relies on dark matter to bend light paths. C．It was first confirmed by the Euclid telescope in 2023. D．It enables the study of otherwise invisible space structures. 30．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A．The process of discovering the Einstein ring. B．The timeline and significance of Euclid’s mission. C．The role of international teams in the discovery. D．How gravitational lensing was theoretically predicted. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Euclid Telescope: Mapping Dark Energy in the Universe B．Historic Breakthrough: Einstein’s Theory Finally Proven C．New Methods: How Astronomers Study Dark Matter D．Space Surprise: Euclid Discovers Rare Einstein Ring Near Earth D Bennett was born with a disability that led to the amputation (截肢) of his foot when he was a baby, but the 55-year-old never let it hold back the pursuit of his passion: surfing. He has traveled the world surfing, making it to some of the most famous big wave surfing spots in places like Indonesia, Hawaii, Australia, and Portugal. He’s also represented his country in a para-surfing (残疾人冲浪) championship. “The ocean is my happy place, ” said Bennett. “When I’m riding a wave, nothing else matters, nothing else is there — it is just me and that wave and feeling that glide and that ride. ” He grew up a “water baby” and since his father was a big swimmer, the progression to surfing came naturally, despite his missing foot. For his whole adult life, Bennett has been at the crest (巅峰) of the wave of para-surfing, which has gone through a huge transformation. The turning point came in 2015 when the International Surfing Association (ISA) hosted the first Para Surfing World Championship — bringing together surfers from all the nations. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity with para-surfing, with its community becoming the fastest-growing part of the surfing world. Team England para-surfing team is now ranked seventh in the world, led by Bennett’s instruction and inspiration. He explained that within the para-surfing community there are people with all kinds of disabilities. “I coached someone with brain diseases. I have got some blind guys that I coach, obviously some amputees, ” he said. “If somebody has got a disability and they want to get in the ocean and catch waves, I can make it happen. I don’t believe in barriers. I believe in we can do it. ” 32．What do we know about Bennett according to the passage? A．His surfing career started at 55. B．He has won many championships. C．His father influenced his love for surfing. D．He lost his foot due to a surfing accident. 33．What was the significance of the first Para Surfing World Championship? A．It welcomed disabled surfers. B．It offered funds for Bennett’s team. C．It promoted para-surfing’s development. D．It was the first international surfing event. 34．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Para-surfers’ hard work. B．Para-surfers’ challenges. C．Bennett’s surfing achievements. D．Bennett’s coaching philosophies. 35．What message is conveyed through Bennett’s surfing experience? A．Every man has his faults. B．All that shines is not gold. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．The only limit is the one you set for yourself. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Boundaries are the limits we set for ourselves. We usually talk about boundaries with others, but they matter just as much with ourselves. Without boundaries, anxiety can affect every aspect of our lives, making it difficult to focus on anything else when worries arise. 36 When worries come up outside that time, you can reinforce this boundary by reminding yourself of the time you’ve put aside to deal with them. 37 Breaking it can be equally difficult. People tend to talk to themselves far more harshly than they would to anyone else. Setting boundaries around-self-talk can start with noticing when you say something unkind to yourself and replacing it with something more reasonable. Self-care means a million things to a million people. 38 It involves recognizing and meeting our needs in a range of areas. Self-care can take many forms, including time alone, connection with others, physical care, and emotional expression. It also includes practical tasks, such as regular dental checkups. 39 Clarifying our values and living by them is a key part of setting boundaries with ourselves. The extent to which our actions reflect our values is a measure of self-respect. Consider what truly matters to you. 40 When something crosses your moral compass, or would otherwise compromise your self-respect, notice that and take action. Making and keeping commitments to yourself is another form of self-care. A．This can give you a sense of your priorities. B．It is so easy to fall into a pattern of critical self-talk. C．Self-planning requires consideration of a range of factors. D．Take note of what you need to be at your best, and schedule it. E．It’s much more than getting your nails done or having a sweet coffee. F．This makes it essential for anxiety to be managed through clear boundaries. G．Setting aside time to deal with such concerns is important for peace of mind. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In the middle of the flowery Daliangshan Mountains in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture, Sichuan Province, a group of children are playing on the 41 soccer field at Wawu Primary School.

One morning, a deaf man came in with a computer. Realizing that he was deaf, the other staff in the shop hesitated, avoiding eye contact, as if hoping someone else would deal with the “trouble”. No one wanted the extra challenge. Sensing the man’s helplessness, I stepped forward and welcomed him with a smile. However, I didn’t have a clue as to how to sign. The man pulled out a notebook and a pencil, but that wasn’t an option for me as my handwriting was horrible on the best of days. So, thinking quickly, I led him over to the demonstration computer and pulled up Word. He smiled, and with this easy-to-read form of communication, I was able to sort out the computer’s problem. It turned out to be a dead power supply. He also wanted more RAM (内存) and a CD-Burner instead of his CD-ROM. I quoted him the repair cost. He nodded without hesitation and wrote in the notebook: “That’s fair.” I felt a bit relieved. Then I typed on the screen: “You can come back to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.” He read it carefully, gave me a thumbs-up, and smiled warmly. The exchange took about forty-five minutes. After the customer left, my colleague Tom criticized me, saying I had spent too much time with the special customer for such a small repair and that it wouldn’t bring significant profit. I argued back, firmly believing that customer service is what keeps customers coming back. But Tom just laughed it off, and the others seemed to agree with him. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next afternoon, the special customer returned as appointed. A week later, the deaf man came again — but this time, he wasn’t alone. 试卷第1页（共3页） 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 西安一中高二英语月考试题参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A A B C C C B A C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A C C C C B A B B A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B A C D A B C C D A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D C C D D G B E D A 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C B A D A C B D A C 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B A C B D 1．A 【原文】W: Your wife called you just now. Your son is ill and she asked you to hurry back home. M: Thanks for telling me about it. I have to ask for leave and go home right now. Bye. 2．A 【原文】W: Whenever I make a paper plane it never flies very well. I’ve done it three times now and they’ve all been rubbish. M: You need to give the wings a double fold like this. W: Okay, I’ll try. I’ve only been folding it once. 3．B 【原文】W: Hi Bob, Pad and I will go to watch the tennis game this evening. Do you want to come? M: Great! I know my brother really enjoys tennis. Can he join us? W: Well, I’m afraid I don’t have an extra ticket for him. 4．C 【原文】W: George didn’t attend yesterday’s meeting? M: Yes. His mother was unwell. He sent her to the hospital and stayed with her. W: Sorry to hear that. I thought he missed it because of the heavy traffic. 5．C 【原文】M: Who else is going to the pop festival at the park? I have space in my car for one more. W: I’d like a ride. Adam was going to take me, but he decided to go shopping with Lisa at the last minute. 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 【原文】 M: Good evening, gentlemen and boys! Thank you for being here this evening. We’re here to congratulate the top achievers of this year. The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony. Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prizewinners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world. Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower-ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here,” he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more.” We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried.” 10．C 11．A 12．C 13．C 【原文】M: Lucy, we really need to do the marketing assignment. We’ve only got five weeks left to the end of term to design it, carry it out, and then write up the results. W: Sure. Well, let’s get started now. Let’s go over the requirements. M: Well, it says we have to look at one entertainment industry, music, cinema, theatre, sport, and eating out. W: Ok. Many groups will choose music, I suppose. So let’s do one on cinema. Then we look at how two different groups of people use it? Is that right? M: Yes. W: And how do we get our data? Can we send questionnaires, or do interviews face to face, or maybe even observations. M：Well, actually, it seems we don’t have a choice. We have to do telephone interviews. W: Ok. Other requirements? M: Yeah, the number of interviews. W: Not too many, I hope. Ten? Twenty? M: Well, we have to do two groups, remember, and it looks like we have to interview fifteen for each group. W: So many interviews. It’s going to take ages. M: Yes, but remember we’re working on this together, so it’ll be quick. W: Ok. Let’s work out the interview questions first. 14．C 15．C 16．B 【原文】M: Hey, Vicky! Have you seen The Wandering Earth? W: No, what’s that? M: It’s a Chinese sci-fi film. It’s about the Earth trying to escape the dying Sun by using massive engines to move it to a new star system. W: Wow, that sounds like an incredible story. M: Yeah, it was. The visuals were amazing and the action scenes were intense. But the real standout was the emotions it brought us. You really feel for the characters and their struggles to save humanity. W: That’s great. I love movies that can combine a good story with great visuals and make you feel something. M: Definitely. The film also touches on themes like sacrifice, humanity, and what it means to be a family. It’s a must-watch for fans of sci-fi and action films. W: Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out. 17．A 18．B 19．B 20．A 【原文】W: Adventure Reservations. Can I help you? M: Yes. I’d like to book a single room with a bath from September 22 to 25. W: Just a moment, please.

Where would you rather like to be, in the city center or in the suburbs? M: I prefer a place close to the city center because it is more convenient. W: In that case, I would suggest that you try the Imperial. M: Do you know the rate per night for a single room with a bath there? And please tell me what the Imperial is like. W: Well, a single with a bath at the moment would be between $50 to $60. It is rated as a four-star hotel. Ours is better known than the Imperial but then the Imperial is less expensive than here. M: Uh-huh. One last thing, do you know its telephone number? W: Yes, it is 61540928. M: Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help, goodbye. W: Goodbye and thank you for calling us. 21．B 22．A 23．C 【导语】主要介绍一家图书馆，介绍图书、录像、音频各类馆藏资源以及对应的借阅收费规则。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据Book部分中的“☆books in 36 languages(36种语言版本的书籍)”可知，图书馆的图书以36种语言出版。 22．细节理解题。根据Book部分中的“You can enjoy newspapers and magazines in the reading room.(你可以在阅览室看报纸和杂志。)”可知，人们可以在阅览室阅读杂志。 23．细节理解题。根据Video部分中的 “You can rent a video at one yuan a week.(你可以租借录像资料，每周一元。)”可知，一盘录像一周租金为1元，三盘录像租借一周总共需要支付3元。 24．D 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥卡姆剃刀理论，该理论主张最简单的解释往往更接近真相，但科学和现实世界的复杂性表明，这一原则并非绝对，真理有时并不简单。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say ‘the best explanation is the simplest one. (如果你曾和科学家们相处过，你很可能会听到他们中的一位说“最好的解释是最简单的一个)”以及第二段中“This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as ‘rule of economy’. (这个想法被称为奥卡姆剃刀理论。它也被称为“经济法则”)”可知，奥卡姆剃刀理论指的是简单的解释应该被优先考虑。故选D。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what ‘pleases Nature’? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? (1687年，艾萨克・牛顿用他的“真正原因”概念进一步阐述了这一观点 —— 所谓真正的原因，是指我们只应认可那些既真实存在、又足以解释自然现象的原因。他还补充说，大自然不会做徒劳无功之事，且偏爱简洁。尽管牛顿是一位伟大的科学家，但这一说法似乎有些奇怪。谁能断言“什么能让大自然满意”呢？这种指导难道不正是假定了我们已经知晓了实际上正试图弄明白的东西吗？)”可知，牛顿认为自然乐于简单，但这种观点假设了人类能够知道什么能取悦自然，即它假设了未知的真理。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段“When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer.” (当我们转向生物学时，事情变得更加复杂。想象一下有两个吸烟者，他们每天抽一包烟，持续了30年。一个人得了癌症，另一个人没有。最简单的解释是什么？几十年来，烟草行业的回答是吸烟不会导致癌症。简单但错误。事实上，疾病是复杂的，我们还不了解癌症的所有因素)”可知，烟草行业认为吸烟不会导致癌症，这种简单的解释是错误的，因为疾病的复杂性，特别是癌症的成因涉及多种因素，所以疾病的自然复杂性反驳了烟草行业“简单”的癌症说法。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. (我们的解释应该尽可能与世界相匹配。科学是让事物自然展开，有时这意味着接受真相并不简单，即使这样会让我们的生活更轻松)”可知，文章强调我们的解释应尽可能与世界实际情况相匹配，科学是让事物自然展开，有时需要接受真相并不简单。由此可推知，文章暗示我们需要实事求是地解释世界。故选C。 28．C 29．D 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了欧洲欧几里得太空望远镜发现邻近星系周围的“爱因斯坦环”，解释了引力透镜效应的原理，并阐述了该发现对研究暗物质的意义。   28．细节理解题。 根据第一段中“Einstein rings form when light from a more distant galaxy bends around a closer galaxy, creating the appearance of a circle of light around the nearer galaxy.(当来自更遥远星系的光围绕一个更近的星系弯曲时，就会形成爱因斯坦环，在较近的星系周围形成一个光圈)”可知，爱因斯坦环是由于光在星系周围弯曲而形成的。故选C。 29．推理判断题。 根据第二段中“In this way, gravity acts as a lens, curving the path of light, making distant objects appear larger and twisted. Gravitational lenses allow telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects.(这样，引力就像一个透镜，弯曲光的路径，使远处的物体看起来更大、更扭曲。引力透镜使像欧几里得这样的望远镜能够观察到更远、更暗的物体)”可推知，引力透镜效应使得望远镜能够观察到原本看不见或难以观察到的太空结构。故选D。 30．主旨大意题。 根据第三段“In the latest project, researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. The Euclid space telescope, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy across the universe. Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute are leading the research. The first sign of the Einstein ring came during testing right after Euclid was put into use. Altieri’s team noticed the ring and reported the findings in a study in the publication Astronomy and Astrophysics.(在最新的项目中，德国马克斯·普朗克天体物理研究所的研究人员利用欧几里得的数据创建了一个计算机模型，以发现爱因斯坦环。由欧洲航天局运营的欧几里得太空望远镜于2023年发射，执行一项为期六年的任务，研究整个宇宙中暗物质和暗能量的奥秘。马克斯·普朗克研究所的天文学家正在领导这项研究。爱因斯坦环的第一个迹象出现在欧几里得投入使用后的测试中。Altieri的团队注意到了这个环，并在《天文学与天体物理学》杂志的一项研究中报告了这一发现)”可知，本段主要讲述了爱因斯坦环的发现过程。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。 根据第一段“Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy (星系), known as an Einstein ring. Astronomers were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before around the well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505. Einstein rings form when light from a more distant galaxy bends around a closer galaxy, creating the appearance of a circle of light around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space, a phenomenon called “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).”(科学家称，欧洲的欧几里得太空望远镜发现了一个环绕附近星系的明亮光环，被称为爱因斯坦环。天文学家们感到惊讶的是，在这个被广泛研究的星系NGC 6505周围，之前竟然没有发现这个明亮的光环。爱因斯坦环是由于来自更遥远星系的光围绕一个更近的星系弯曲而形成的，在较近的星系周围形成一个光圈。爱因斯坦环得名于物理学家阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦，他预言光会围绕太空中的超大质量物体弯曲，这一现象被称为“引力透镜效应”。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要报道了欧几里得望远镜发现了罕见的爱因斯坦环这一令人惊讶的太空发现。所以D项“太空惊喜：欧几里得在地球附近发现罕见的爱因斯坦环”适合作文章的标题。故选D。 32．C 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾冲浪者Bennett的励志故事，他左脚截肢却凭借对冲浪的热爱取得非凡成就，并作为教练激励着其他残疾人。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段“He grew up a “water baby” and since his father was a big swimmer, the progression to surfing came naturally, despite his missing foot. (他从小是“水宝宝”，父亲是个游泳健将，因此尽管缺少一只脚，他很自然地走上了冲浪之路。)”可知，Bennett的父亲是一位游泳健将，这使得他自然而然地接触到了冲浪，说明他父亲影响了他对冲浪的热爱。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段“The turning point came in 2015 when the International Surfing Association (ISA) hosted the first Para Surfing World Championship — bringing together surfers from all the nations. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity with para-surfing, with its community becoming the fastest-growing part of the surfing world. (转折点出现在2015年，国际冲浪协会（ISA）举办了首届残疾人冲浪世锦赛，汇聚了各国的冲浪者。自那以后，残疾人冲浪运动迅速流行起来，其冲浪群体已成为冲浪界发展最快的领域。)”可知，第一届世界残疾人冲浪锦标赛的举办是一个转折点，此后这项运动受欢迎程度激增，这表明该赛事促进了残疾人冲浪运动的发展。故选C项。 34．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“He explained that within the para-surfing community there are people with all kinds of disabilities. “I coached someone with brain diseases. I have got some blind guys that I coach, obviously some amputees, ” he said. “If somebody has got a disability and they want to get in the ocean and catch waves, I can make it happen. I don’t believe in barriers. I believe in we can do it. ” (他解释道，在残疾人冲浪群体中汇聚着各类残障人士。“我指导过脑部疾病患者，也教过失明学员，当然还有截肢者，”他说道。“如果有人身有残疾，又想去大海中追逐浪花，我能让这一切发生。我不相信有什么障碍，我相信我们能做到。”)”可知，他讲述了自己指导不同残疾类型的人冲浪，并且强调没有障碍，只有相信能做到。这体现了他的执教理念，即帮助有残疾的人实现冲浪的愿望，不相信存在障碍。故选D项。 35．推理判断题。通读全文以及最后一段“If somebody has got a disability and they want to get in the ocean and catch waves, I can make it happen. I don’t believe in barriers. I believe in we can do it. (如果有人身有残疾，又想去大海中追逐浪花，我能让这一切发生。我不相信有什么障碍，我相信我们能做到。)”可知，文章通过Bennett的冲浪经历，尤其是他虽身有残疾但仍取得诸多成就，以及他帮助其他各类残疾人冲浪的事迹和他所持有的信念感，均传达出“唯一限制你的就是你自己设定的界限”这一精神内核。故选D项。 36．G 37．B 38．E 39．D 40．A 【导语】文章介绍设立自我边界的方法，包括焦虑管控、自我对话、自我关怀以及坚守价值观。 【详解】36．上文“Without boundaries, anxiety can affect every aspect of our lives, making it difficult to focus on anything else when worries arise. (没有界限，焦虑会影响我们生活的方方面面，当担忧出现时，我们很难专注于其他事情。)”说明没有边界时焦虑会影响生活的方方面面。下文“When worries come up outside that time, you can reinforce this boundary by reminding yourself of the time you’ve put aside to deal with them. (当担忧出现在这段时间之外时，你可以通过提醒自己留出的时间来处理它们，从而强化这一界限。)”提及需要预留时间，空处承上启下，说明空处需要引出“留出时间处理担忧”这一做法。所以G项“留出时间处理这些担忧对内心平静很重要。”符合语境，其中“such concerns”与上文worries呼应，“setting aside time”与下文“that time”衔接。 37．下文“Breaking it can be equally difficult. People tend to talk to themselves far more harshly than they would to anyone else. Setting boundaries around-self-talk can start with noticing when you say something unkind to yourself and replacing it with something more reasonable. (打破它可能同样困难。人们倾向于对自己说话比对别人严厉得多。围绕自我对话设定界限可以从注意到你什么时候对自己说了一些不友善的话开始，并用更合理的话取而代之。)”说明打破某种模式很困难，人们对自己比对他人更严厉，需从注意不友善的自我对话开始设定边界。空处为段落的主旨句，需引出这种易陷入的模式。所以B项“人们很容易陷入批判性自我对话的模式。”符合语境。其中“pattern”与下文“Breaking it”中的it形成指代关系，“critical self-talk”与下文“talk to themselves far more harshly”相呼应。 38．上文“Self-care means a million things to a million people. (自我关怀对一百万人来说意味着一百万件事。)”说明自我关怀因人而异。下文“It involves recognizing and meeting our needs in a range of areas .(它涉及认识和满足我们在一系列领域的需求。)”说明自我关怀涉及多方面需求。空处需承接上文并引出下文的深层解释。所以E项“它远不止做美甲、喝甜咖啡这类小事。”符合语境。该项中It指代“Self-care”，“much more than”与下文“a range of areas”形成递进，说明自我关怀远不止表面享受，还包括深层需求，符合语境。 39．上文“Self-care can take many forms, including time alone, connection with others, physical care, and emotional expression. It also includes practical tasks, such as regular dental checkups. (自我护理可以采取多种形式，包括独处时间、与他人的联系、身体护理和情感表达。它还包括实际任务，如定期牙科检查。)”说明自我关怀包括实际任务。说明自我关怀形式多样。空处位于段尾，需要总结做法，所以D项“记下保持最佳状态所需的事物并做好安排。”符合语境。 40．上文“Consider what truly matters to you. (思考对你真正重要的事物。)”说明要明确自身看重的事物。空处承接上文，说明该做法的作用。所以A项“这能让你分清事情的优先顺序。”符合语境。 41．C 42．B 43．A 44．D 45．A 46．C 47．B 48．D 49．A 50．C 51．B 52．A 53．C 54．B 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述的是在中国四川省凉山彝族自治州的大凉山腹地，瓦吾小学通过中国女足的支持建立了一个名为“玫瑰梦想球场”的新足球场，这个足球场帮助当地的孩子们，特别是女孩们，实现他们的运动梦想。 【详解】41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在四川省凉山彝族自治州花团锦簇的大凉山中央，一群孩子正在瓦屋小学新建的足球场上踢球。A. big大的；B. expert专业的；C. new新的；D. wonderful美妙的，极好的。根据下文“which was opened at the end of last December”可知，这个足球场是新的。故选C。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“玫瑰梦想球场”于去年12月底开放，是中国女足在国内资助的第二个足球场。A. built修建；B. supported支持，资助；C. designed设计；D. advertised为……做广告。根据下文“The Chinese Women’s National Football Team has donated lots of money for the soccer field”可知，这个球场是中国女足在国内资助的第二个足球场。故选B。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：由于地理位置偏远，瓦屋远离城市，被称为“云端小学”。A. distant偏远的；B. exact确切的；C. convenient方便的；D. amazing惊人的。根据下文“Wawu is far from the city, known as the “school beyond the clouds””可知，瓦屋地理位置偏远。故选A。 44．考查动词短语辨析。句意：2018年，该校校长在几年前成立了男生足球队之后成立了女生足球队，希望能帮助所有学生实现他们的体育梦想。A. learned from从……中学习；B. heard of听说；C. looked for寻找；D. set up建立。根据下文“following the founding of the boys’ team some years before”可知，此处指那个学校的校长建立了女生足球队。故选D。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：2018年，该校校长在几年前成立了男生足球队之后成立了女生足球队，希望能帮助所有学生实现他们的体育梦想。A. achieve（经努力）达到，实现；获得成功；B. find发现；C. share分享；D. protect保护。根据下文“their athletic dreams”可知，那个校长在几年前成立了男生足球队之后又成立了女生足球队是希望能帮助所有学生实现他们的体育梦想。故选A。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：随着足球场的建成，这些梦想离现实又近了一步。A. introduced介绍；B. beautified美化；C. completed完成；D. swept扫除。根据第一段“The “Rosy Dream Soccer Field”, which was opened at the end of last December”可知，此处指足球场建成完工，孩子们离实现自己的梦想又更近了一步。故选C。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这些队伍每天早晚训练。A. run跑步；B. train训练；C. study学习；D. exercise运动，锻炼。根据下文“each morning and evening”以及“As their skills improve”可知，这些球队每天早晚都训练，所以技术提高了。故选B。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“随着自身球技的提升，她们变得越发自信，也坚信自己能把足球踢得更好。” 库比希古告诉记者，并补充道，这支女子足球队自成立以来，队员人数已达数十人。A. energetic精力充沛的；B. smart聪明的；C. brave勇敢的；D. confident自信的。根据下文“believe they can play soccer better”可知，球员们变得更自信了。故选D。 49．考查名词词义辨析。句意：“随着自身球技的提升，她们变得越发自信，也坚信自己能把足球踢得更好。” 库比希古告诉记者，并补充道，这支女子足球队自成立以来，队员人数已达数十人。A. players球员；B. competitors竞争者；C. trainers教练员；D. winners赢家，获胜者。根据上文“the girls’ team had dozens of”以及下文“Now, more and more children in Daliangshan are enjoying playing soccer”可知，女足队成立后有了几十名球员。故选A。 50．考查动词词义辨析。句意：自从这些球队成立以来，瓦屋越来越多的孩子进入了更好的中学，并继续在高中足球队踢球。A. invited邀请；B. asked问；C. accepted接受；D. led带领。根据下文“into better middle schools”可知，瓦屋越来越多的孩子进入了更好的中学，be accepted into意为“被接受进入，获准进入”符合语境。故选C。 51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：自从这些球队成立以来，瓦屋越来越多的孩子进入了更好的中学，并继续在高中足球队踢球。A. basketball篮球；B. soccer足球；C. badminton羽毛球；D. golf高尔夫。根据上文“a girls’ soccer team”可知，孩子们继续在高中的足球队踢球。故选B。 52．考查名词词义辨析。句意：学校也经历了许多变化。A. changes变化；B. tests测试；C. difficulties困难；D. adventures冒险。根据下文“More spacious, brighter classrooms have been built”可知，学校经历了很多变化。故选A。 53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：学校张贴的标语醒目地写在教室的墙壁上：“让这所山区学校成为梦想的殿堂。”A. habit习惯；B. rule规则；C. saying格言；D. advice建议。根据下文“Let the mountain school become a place for _______”可知，教室的墙上写的是格言。故选C。 54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：学校张贴的标语醒目地写在教室的墙壁上：“让这所山区学校成为梦想的殿堂。”A. sports运动；B. dreams梦想；C. promises承诺；D. decisions决定。根据下文“help them achieve their dreams”可知，校训是“让山村学校成为一个有梦想的地方”，故选B。 55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“我希望让更多孩子参与到足球运动中来，帮助他们实现自己的梦想。”库比希古说道。A. stuck粘，贴；B. stayed停留；C. experienced经历；D. joined参加，加入。根据上文“I want to get more children”和下文“help them achieve their dreams”可知，库比希古是想让更多的孩子参与到足球中来，get sb. joined in意为“使某人参与到……中”符合语境。故选D。 56．officially 57．approval 58．at 59．a 60．Combined 61．to adjust 62．which 63．is expected 64．permitting 65．scientific 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了世界上第一台在中红外波长范围内运行的太阳磁场望远镜正式投入使用及其意义。 56．考查副词。句意：世界上第一台在中红外波长范围内运行的太阳磁场望远镜在获得政府批准后正式投入使用，标志着太阳磁场研究取得了重大突破。本空修饰动词become，作状语，用副词officially“正式地”。故填officially。 57．考查名词。句意：世界上第一台在中红外波长范围内运行的太阳磁场望远镜在获得政府批准后正式投入使用，标志着太阳磁场研究取得了重大突破。本空作gain的宾语，用名词approval“批准”。故填approval。 58．考查介词。句意：这台名为“太阳精确红外磁场测量仪”（AIMS）的望远镜位于青海省冷湖镇，平均海拔约4000米。表示“在……海拔高度”，用固定搭配at an altitude of。故填at。 59．考查冠词。句意：AIMS的开发通过实现从间接测量到直接测量的一个飞跃，解决了太阳磁场测量百年历史中长期存在的瓶颈问题。表泛指“一个飞跃”，且leap以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：结合冷却技术，这种设计提高了磁场测量的精度。本句谓语为improves，此处为非谓语动词，逻辑主语this design和动词combine“使结合”之间是被动关系，本空用过去分词combined，作状语。故填Combined。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，研究小组还发明了一种调整偏振光的新方法，并制造了一种仅使用镜子的仪器，防止不需要的偏振效应影响结果。a way to do sth.“做某事的方法”，需要用动词adjust“调整”的不定式作后置定语，故填to adjust。 62．考查定语从句。句意：此外，研究小组还发明了一种调整偏振光的新方法，并制造了一种仅使用镜子的仪器，防止不需要的偏振效应影响结果。本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是instrument，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词which。故填which。 63．考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：预计这台望远镜将全年运行。本句描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，主语The telescope和expect“期望，预计”之间是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is expected。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：如果天气允许，预计每年将有250天的观测时间。本句谓语为will have，此处为非谓语动词，Weather和动词permit之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式，与Weather构成独立主格结构。故填permitting。 65．考查形容词。句意：研究人员还计划与一些国际顶尖团队合作，以最大限度地发挥其科学影响。本空修饰名词impact，用形容词scientific“科学的”，作定语。故填scientific。 66．范文： Protect Water Resources, Everyone’s Duty Dear classmates, Water is the source of all life.
