C．Grammar. 19．(1.5分)Why should you listen to experts according to the speaker? A．To develop your reading fluency. B．To improve your note-taking skills. C．To find out your mispronunciation. 20．(1.5分)What is the speaker’s last suggestion? A．Spell out the difficult words. B．Check the words in a dictionary. C．Practice reading the words aloud. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．C 【原文】      W: Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar in effective spoken English. However, most people don’t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They’re more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it’s important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts. By experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange. Strange, because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you’ve got the correct pronunciations of the words. It’s time to practice reading them every day. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分） People with fixed mindsets believe that: • Skill, intelligence and talents are natural. • Failure is shameful and should be avoided. • Some people are naturally good at things while others not. • You are not in control of your abilities. People with growth mindsets believe that: • You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. • Failure is a valuable lesson. • People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. • You are in control of your abilities. have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily. — See effort as fruitless or worse. — Ignore useful negative feedback. — Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to: — Welcome challenges. — Insist in the face of setbacks (挫折). — See effort as the path to mastery. — Learn from criticism. — Find lessons and encouragement in the success of others. As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement. Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one. 21．(2.5分)What do people with fixed mindsets tend to do? A．Embrace challenges and insist. B．Avoid challenges and give up easily. C．Learn from criticism and failure. D．Find encouragement in others’ success. 22．(2.5分)What is a person with a growth mindset likely to say?

Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one.(改变的过程或许艰难，但我从未听谁说过这份改变不值得。转变为成长型思维模式就能解决我所有的问题吗？并不能。但我清楚，正是这份转变让我的人生焕然一新——变得更加丰盈充实。)”讲述自身转变思维收获更好生活的感悟可知，这篇文本最有可能出自一本关于个人成长发展的书籍。 （本题10分）Being seventeen without money can be depressing. When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash, it would be foolish to pass it up. It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some “easy money”. During the years I played on the court and watched the games, I often found myself criticizing the referees. I completely believed that I could do a much better job because of my love for basketball and my familiarity with the game. How difficult could it be, especially with a bunch of third graders? I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game. A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd. Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fight, the bystanders still couldn’t calm. The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul. With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands. I realized just how difficult refereeing was. I could have let this heartbreaking evening destroy my future on the court, but instead it stimulated a sense of determination in me to do it better. I still hope to become a great referee someday. In order for this to become a reality, it will take many hours of practice and hard work. No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as “easy money”. 24．(2.5分)What made the author agree to serve as a basketball referee? A．His desire to make money. B．His passion for the job. C．His confidence in third graders. D．His knowledge of basketball. 25．(2.5分)What did the author think of the third grade boys before refereeing the game? A．Lovely. B．Selfish. C．Impolite. D．Competitive. 26．(2.5分)What happened to the author during the game? A．He was too nervous to blow the whistle. B．He was at a loss to announce the results. C．He couldn’t avoid the bystanders’ physical attack. D．He couldn’t handle the tough situation on the court. 27．(2.5分)What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Lazy hands make for poverty. B．Money does not grow on trees. C．Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．D 27．B 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己为赚取 “轻松钱” 担任小学篮球裁判却遭遇棘手局面的经历，领悟到“没有不劳而获的财富”，并决心努力提升自己成为优秀裁判。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Being seventeen without money can be depressing. When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash, it would be foolish to pass it up. It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some easy money.(17 岁却没钱，这可能会让人沮丧。当有机会挣些急需的钱时，错过它可就太愚蠢了。正是出于这个原因，当有机会去担任小学篮球比赛的裁判时，我立刻抓住了这个机会。我觉得这会是个既能找点乐子又能轻松赚钱的方式)”可知，作者同意担当小学篮球比赛的裁判的核心驱动力是赚钱的渴望。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game.(我期待着自己作为裁判的第一个夜晚，但从比赛一开始，我所有的幻想就破灭了。这些可爱的三年级小男孩，在我面前瞬间变成了可怕的小怪兽。即使在我最疯狂的想象中，我也从未料到这场比赛的竞争会如此激烈)”可知，作者在裁判这场比赛之前觉得这些三年级的孩子可爱。故选A。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段“A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd. Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fight, the bystanders still couldn’t calm. The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul. With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands.(一场战斗正在球场上激烈进行，疯狂的旁观者在看台上欢呼呐喊。我唯一的伙伴——哨子，却患了严重的怯场症，每次我想吹响它时，它都让我满心疑虑。我的不作为更是助长了那群无情观众的气焰。即便在极少数情况下，我的哨子鼓足勇气暂停了争斗，旁观者们依旧无法平静下来。失败的感觉淹没了我灵魂的每一寸。只剩五分钟时，另一位裁判迈克尔及时赶到，把我从崩溃的边缘拯救了回来。一瞬间，我递出哨子，迅速跑到看台安全的地方)”可知，男孩们像 怪兽 一样激烈竞争，场面如同 战斗； 作者每次想吹哨都充满犹豫，不敢行动； 观众疯狂欢呼呐喊，即使吹哨暂停比赛也无法平息； 最终需要另一位裁判 Michael 及时救场，作者才得以脱身。由此可推断作者无法应对球场上的棘手局面。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据末段中的“No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as easy money.(无论我多么希望能不费吹灰之力就得到这笔钱，但从这次经历中我明白了，天下没有免费的午餐)”可推断，钱财并非自枝头自然生长，获取之路需付出辛劳。故选B。 （本题10分）Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support. Some character traits have to do with being a morally good or bad person, while others do not. Clearly, honesty contributes to being a good person, while creativity could be used in either a good or bad way. The morally relevant traits come in two varieties — the moral virtues like honesty and the moral vices like dishonesty. The moral virtues are positive qualities we should develop. However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems. For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights. So let’s change the example. Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government. Now suppose that Samantha never steals supplies from the company, never falsifies (篡改) the company’s tax reporting, and consistently avoids such misconduct. How does that sound? It’s still not good enough. A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. The truth, however, is that character is malleable. Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. Every time we choose integrity over deceit, compassion over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, we refine our character. It is this ongoing pursuit that gives depth and meaning to a life. 28．(2.5分)What does the contrast in paragraph 1 show? A．Inborn traits define our capacity for virtues. B．Personality shapes how one responds to situations. C．Most people tend to offer support to those in need. D．Moral judgment influences our reactions to suffering. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author give several versions of Samantha’s story? A．To prove small actions determine honesty. B．To explain virtues require broad consistency. C．To show virtues bring professional reputation. D．To reveal virtues affect one’s decision-making. 30．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards developing character? A．Skeptical. B．Unconcerned. C．Hopeful. D．Cautious. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．How to Develop Moral Virtues B．Samantha: A Model of Honesty? C．Character Traits: Born or Made? D．The Complexity of Being Virtuous 【答案】28．B 29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了性格特质会影响人的思考与行为方式，拥有道德美德并非简单的单一行为，而是需要在生活各方面保持一致，同时指出性格是可以塑造的，通过日常选择能不断完善自身品德。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. (性格特质会引导我们以特定的方式思考、感受和行动。)”及“When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support. (看到孩子或动物受苦时，冷酷无情的人可能会觉得他们罪有应得，日复一日地对他们的处境视而不见。而富有同情心的人，则可能会心生触动、主动采取行动，为他们提供帮助与支持。)” 可知，第一段中的对比表明性格会塑造一个人对不同情况的反应方式，故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据原文第三段“For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights.(例如，以在公司担任高层职位的Samantha为例。昨晚她下班时，本有机会把一些办公用品带回家私用，但她没有这么做。这是否足以让我们断定她为人诚实？答案是否定的，因为我们不知道她在其他晚上是否会把办公用品带回家。)”及第四段“Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government.(假设她从不把任何办公用品带回家，这就足以说明问题了吗？答案依然是否定的，因为我们不知道她在工作的其他方面是否不诚实。她可能会向政府虚报公司税务。)”和第五段“A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. (像诚实这样的美德应该延伸到一个人生活的方方面面 —— 家庭、工作、学校以及其他所有方面。)” 可知，作者讲述Samantha的几个故事版本是为了说明美德需要广泛的一致性，故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. (通过日常的选择，我们可以逐渐塑造自己。迈向诚实、善良和勇敢的每一步都很重要。)” 可知，作者对于性格培养的态度是充满希望的，故选C。 31．主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems.(然而，成为一个有美德的人比看起来要复杂得多。)” 以及第五段“A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. (像诚实这样的美德应该延伸到一个人生活的方方面面 —— 家庭、工作、学校以及其他所有方面。)” 及最后一段“Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. (总之，做一个好人从来都不是一件容易的事。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要论述了拥有道德美德并非简单的单一行为，即拥有美德的复杂性。因此D项“拥有美德的复杂性”能概括本文主要内容，适合作标题。故选D。 （本题10分）Franklin D．Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 32．(2.5分)Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A．To test their kindness. B．To measure their social politeness. C．To reveal their passive listening. D．To avoid exchanging small talk. 33．(2.5分)What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A．Talking more to show you care. B．Finding common topics to discuss. C．Sharing your own experiences regularly. D．Giving others time to express themselves. 34．(2.5分)What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A．It is a sign of disinterest. B．It allows thoughts to develop. C．It means the talk is about to end. D．It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．The importance and skills of listening. B．The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C．Ways to improve communication ability. D．Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．B 35．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了倾听的重要性，通过罗斯福的轶事引出人们普遍存在“假性倾听”问题，并提供了改善倾听能力的具体技巧。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. (他认为，在这种大多数对话中，人们实际上从未真正倾听对方说的话，就好像人们在读提示卡并礼貌地等待轮到自己说话。为了说明他的观点，他有时会用“我今天早上杀了一条大蛇”来打招呼。无一例外，人们都点头、微笑，然后像往常一样继续。)”可知，罗斯福用不同寻常的方式打招呼是为了揭示人们的被动倾听。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. (当我们不停地说话时，对方会感到不被需要和不被欣赏。当我们倾听他人时，我们允许他们处理任何压力或烦恼。因此，它能建立更深层次、满意度更高的关系。)”可知，给他人表达自己的时间可以建立牢固的人际关系。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. (一个是让沉默出现。沉默是对话生长的空间。就像这页纸上的文字由它们周围的空白所定义一样，沉默让我们的想法成形并推动对话向前发展。)”可知，作者认为对话中的沉默能让想法发展。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段罗斯福的轶事、第二段“Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. (研究证明，好的对话就像接球游戏一样，是一个来回往复的过程。它们需要的说听比例不能远离50:50。)”和第三段中提出的倾听技巧可知，本文主要讲述的是倾听的重要性和技巧。 （本题12.5分）Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day. 36(2.5分) Predictable routines help to reduce stress and worry. They take away some of the exhaustion you might feel when faced with a long day ahead, and they reduce the day-to-day decision-making. Structured days help to maintain your mood and support mental strength. 37(2.5分) For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable. 38(2.5分) If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events — you might get a last-minute social invitation from a friend, the weather might be awful, or you might be feeling extremely tired. You should be allowed to accommodate these changes. Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost. 39(2.5分) However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine — even if you only do the basics. It can help you to feel more purposeful. Building a routine is an evolving process, and as you settle more into your solo (独居的) life, your routine will adapt and change. Celebrate being consistent, not perfect. 40(2.5分) Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation.

They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day.(独居能给人极大的自由，但很多人仍倍感煎熬，他们认为独居无人约束，很难养成规律的生活节奏)”指出独居易缺乏规律作息的问题，C选项“But having a healthy routine can bring stability(但健康的作息能带来稳定)”与上文构成转折关系，转折引出规律作息的积极作用，开启下文对作息益处的介绍。 37．下文“For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable.(例如，规划锻炼时间，你更可能坚持运动；固定用餐时间，就不会忘记吃饭，有助于维持血糖稳定)”举例说明了规律作息对身体健康的好处，G选项“There are also physical health benefits of having a routine(规律作息对身体健康也有益处)”起到承上启下的作用，承接上文规律作息对心理、情绪的积极影响，引出下文身体健康层面的益处，贴合段落内容。 38．下文“If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events...You should be allowed to accommodate these changes.(如果作息过于死板，会引发紧张和焦虑，生活需要预留应对突发状况的空间，要学会适应变化)”强调作息不能过于僵化，需要灵活变通，D选项“However, it’s important not to be too strict with it(但重要的是不要对作息太过严苛)”引出本段核心观点，与下文内容精准呼应。 39．上文“Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost.(有时你会感到低落迷茫)”提出情绪低落的状态，F选项“It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all(此时人们总想卧床不起，逃避生活)”承接上文，说明低落时的常见状态；下文“However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine(但只要可以，就起身遵循日常作息)”与F选项构成转折，提出应对办法。 40．上文“Celebrate being consistent, not perfect.(要追求作息的持之以恒，而非完美无缺)”倡导适度的作息状态，下文“Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation(日程过满会让人疲惫焦虑，预留休息放松的时间同样重要)”强调作息需要劳逸结合、张弛有度，B选项“When building a routine, think about balance(制定作息时要兼顾平衡)”概括本段主旨，衔接上下文观点。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.

The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry; instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right． We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it, we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves． 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者七岁那年，和妹妹迫切地想要独立，于是开始了一项园艺生意，为邻居们除草来赚取费用。令她们惊讶的是，只有怀特夫人接受了她们的提议。然而，第二天她们却忘记了她们的约定，导致怀特夫人联系上了她们的母亲。面对她们的错误，她们感到内疚，但很快就被母亲提出的惊喜提议所分散了注意力——她打算那天下午带她们去迪士尼乐园。但是临出门时母亲又说不去了，母亲用不去迪士尼乐园的策略让孩子们意识到他们的错误。接下来，通过道歉和实际行动，孩子们挽回了失信的过失，学会了履行承诺的价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“在楼梯平台上，妈妈说：“孩子们，我们今天不去迪斯尼乐园了。””可知，第一段描述母亲通过实际行为告诉作者和妹妹被食言的感受。 ②由第二段句首内容“我们轻轻地敲了敲怀特太太的门，低着头，心情沉重。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妹妹去帮助怀特太太的花园除草，履行自己的承诺。 2. 续写线索：妈妈食言——伤心——教导——明白自己的错误——道歉——完成承诺——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：exclaim/shout out ②意识到：realize/aware of ③信守诺言：keep one’s word/keep one’s promise 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】You need to learn that actions have consequences.

For this project, we were allowed to do anything, as long as we did it ourselves. She told us that DIY means thinking and doing it by yourself. One by one, my classmates presented their DIY projects, including wiring potatoes to make electricity and building a smart plant watering system. Each confident presentation made my heart pound and I started replaying my birdhouse’s details in my mind. Finally, Mrs. Williams’s gentle gaze settled on me. Then my name got called on next. I walked to the front of the class with unstable legs and set my birdhouse on the table. I explained that I found birdhouse plans online and made my own design. I went to the lumberyard (贮木场) with Dad, and a worker cut the wood and made a hole using my measurements. Then, according to my design, he showed me briefly how to nail the four pieces of wood together. Luka’s hand shot up. We were supposed to take questions — Mrs. Williams always encouraged us, saying curiosity was the whole point. But Luka always asked a billion questions. “So if someone cut the wood and made the hole, and your dad drove you there, what did you do?” he asked, standing up. Soon, the class laughed. “I came up with the idea and talked to the worker at the lumberyard about it. Then I nailed all the walls together on my own at home,” I said. I took the roof off to show the inside and picked up Dad’ s heavy hammer (锤子). I had left one nail out to show how to do it. Then, I took the hammer, but it came down on the roof instead of the nail! The birdhouse broke into parts. Several nails fell out and the roof was ruined. What a disaster! The class burst into louder laughter. Sweat streamed down my face. I took a deep breath as I tried to decide what to do next. In a flash, a possible solution occurred to me. 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。 “Now, let me show you how to build a birdhouse here,” I said.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs.Williams was the first to applaud.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Now, let me show you how to build a birdhouse here,” I said. I bent down and picked up the wood pieces and the nails that fell out, trying to hide my nervousness and embarrassment. The familiar details of how to make the birdhouse quickly flashed into my mind. I calmed down and regained my confidence. The next ten minutes witnessed my DIY work. I nailed each wall back together. Then, I found a piece of cardboard in our classroom, carefully cut it to the size measured at the lumberyard earlier and glued it to the top. Finally, a new birdhouse stood on the table. Mrs.Williams was the first to applaud. All the classmates immediately joined in with enthusiastic clap. Luka even gave me a thumb-up. Mrs.Williams walked to me, “Not only did you show us real DIY skills today, but you also taught us a very important lesson — how to deal with an unexpected situation wisely.” I smiled back to her encouragement with heartfelt appreciation and went back to my seat with steady steps. From this experience I truly realized the real meaning of DIY: It requires thinking and efforts, and needs calmness and confidence. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在课堂上展示自制鸟屋时遭遇意外，鸟屋当场散架，但作者迅速冷静下来，在课堂上现场重建鸟屋，最终赢得了老师和同学们的认可，并由此领悟到DIY的真正含义。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘现在，让我在这里给大家演示一下怎么搭建鸟屋吧。’我说道。”可知，第一段可描写作者在突发状况下迅速调整心态，利用散落的材料和教室里的纸板，现场演示并重建鸟屋的过程，展现其动手能力与应变能力。 ②由第二段首句内容“Williams夫人是第一个鼓掌的人。”可知，第二段可描写老师和同学们对作者表现的反应，以及老师对作者的评价，最后点明作者通过这次经历对DIY的新感悟。 2. 续写线索： 意外发生—— 突发奇想—— 现场重建—— 获得认可—— 领悟内涵 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 展示： show/display ② 加入： join in/ participate in ③ 意识到：realize/ be aware of 情绪类 ① 紧张：nervousness/ anxiety ② 感激：appreciation/gratitude 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I bent down and picked up the wood pieces and the nails that fell out, trying to hide my nervousness and embarrassment.(运用了现在分词短语trying to hide my nervousness and embarrassment作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】Mrs. Williams walked to me, “Not only did you show us real DIY skills today, but you also taught us a very important lesson — how to deal with an unexpected situation wisely.”(运用了Not only...but also...引导的部分倒装) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Improving Yourself（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

People with growth mindsets believe that: • You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. • Failure is a valuable lesson. • People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. • You are in control of your abilities. have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily. — See effort as fruitless or worse. — Ignore useful negative feedback. — Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to: — Welcome challenges. — Insist in the face of setbacks (挫折). — See effort as the path to mastery. — Learn from criticism. — Find lessons and encouragement in the success of others.

It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some “easy money”. During the years I played on the court and watched the games, I often found myself criticizing the referees. I completely believed that I could do a much better job because of my love for basketball and my familiarity with the game. How difficult could it be, especially with a bunch of third graders? I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game. A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd. Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fight, the bystanders still couldn’t calm. The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul. With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands. I realized just how difficult refereeing was. I could have let this heartbreaking evening destroy my future on the court, but instead it stimulated a sense of determination in me to do it better. I still hope to become a great referee someday. In order for this to become a reality, it will take many hours of practice and hard work. No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as “easy money”. 24．(2.5分)What made the author agree to serve as a basketball referee?

B．Money does not grow on trees. C．Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. （本题10分）Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support. Some character traits have to do with being a morally good or bad person, while others do not. Clearly, honesty contributes to being a good person, while creativity could be used in either a good or bad way. The morally relevant traits come in two varieties — the moral virtues like honesty and the moral vices like dishonesty. The moral virtues are positive qualities we should develop. However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems. For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights. So let’s change the example. Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government. Now suppose that Samantha never steals supplies from the company, never falsifies (篡改) the company’s tax reporting, and consistently avoids such misconduct. How does that sound? It’s still not good enough. A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. The truth, however, is that character is malleable. Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. Every time we choose integrity over deceit, compassion over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, we refine our character. It is this ongoing pursuit that gives depth and meaning to a life. 28．(2.5分)What does the contrast in paragraph 1 show? A．Inborn traits define our capacity for virtues. B．Personality shapes how one responds to situations. C．Most people tend to offer support to those in need. D．Moral judgment influences our reactions to suffering. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author give several versions of Samantha’s story? A．To prove small actions determine honesty. B．To explain virtues require broad consistency. C．To show virtues bring professional reputation. D．To reveal virtues affect one’s decision-making. 30．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards developing character? A．Skeptical. B．Unconcerned. C．Hopeful. D．Cautious. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．How to Develop Moral Virtues B．Samantha: A Model of Honesty? C．Character Traits: Born or Made? D．The Complexity of Being Virtuous （本题10分）Franklin D．Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 32．(2.5分)Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A．To test their kindness. B．To measure their social politeness. C．To reveal their passive listening. D．To avoid exchanging small talk. 33．(2.5分)What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A．Talking more to show you care. B．Finding common topics to discuss. C．Sharing your own experiences regularly. D．Giving others time to express themselves. 34．(2.5分)What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A．It is a sign of disinterest. B．It allows thoughts to develop. C．It means the talk is about to end. D．It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．The importance and skills of listening. B．The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C．Ways to improve communication ability. D．Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. （本题12.5分）Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day. 36(2.5分) Predictable routines help to reduce stress and worry. They take away some of the exhaustion you might feel when faced with a long day ahead, and they reduce the day-to-day decision-making. Structured days help to maintain your mood and support mental strength. 37(2.5分) For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable. 38(2.5分) If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events — you might get a last-minute social invitation from a friend, the weather might be awful, or you might be feeling extremely tired. You should be allowed to accommodate these changes. Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost. 39(2.5分) However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine — even if you only do the basics. It can help you to feel more purposeful. Building a routine is an evolving process, and as you settle more into your solo (独居的) life, your routine will adapt and change. Celebrate being consistent, not perfect. 40(2.5分) Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation. A．An extremely fixed routine has its advantages. B．When building a routine, think about balance. C．But having a healthy routine can bring stability. D．However, it’s important not to be too strict with it. E．Without a routine, you may easily lose your identity. F．It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all. G．There are also physical health benefits of having a routine. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.

It came to a 46 where I chose to 47 myself in my room, refusing to come out and 48 in family discussions.

The craft, originally developed in Sweden in the 1970s, 56(1.5分) (design) as a therapeutic (治疗的) tool to help older adults maintain cognitive function and ease isolation. Today, young enthusiasts purchase DIY kits online or visit specialized bead studios, 57(1.5分) they create designs using tiny plastic cylinders. A recent survey found that most studios charge between 20 and 50 yuan per person, 58(1.5分) (typical) without time limits. 59(1.5分) they are seen as a mindful escape or a creative outlet, perler beads offer something enduring: the satisfaction of making something tangible, one tiny piece at a time. When fully 60(1.5分) (absorb) in arranging beads, crafters enter a state known as “flow” — a term coined by a psychologist to describe deep immersion. This state 61(1.5分) (associate) with dopamine (多巴胺) release and feelings of focus and satisfaction. Many are drawn to the rhythmic motion of bead placement, which can bring about a calm mental state similar 62(1.5分) mindfulness practice. For a generation under the constant 63(1.5分) (expose) to digital devices, the tactile act of crafting provides a welcome reset. There is also 64(1.5分) explanation rooted in embodied cognition, a theory that states that thinking is shaped by bodily movement and sensory experience. Bead crafting engages touch, sight and sound, 65(1.5分) (create) deeper cognitive engagement than purely digital interaction. 五、书面表达 66．（本题15分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When I was seven, my sister Lucy, who was four, and I were eager to be independent and earn some money to show our parents that we were capable beyond our years. The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry; instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Who wants to show us their self-made project first?” Mrs. Williams asked, her voice warm and encouraging. For this project, we were allowed to do anything, as long as we did it ourselves. She told us that DIY means thinking and doing it by yourself. One by one, my classmates presented their DIY projects, including wiring potatoes to make electricity and building a smart plant watering system. Each confident presentation made my heart pound and I started replaying my birdhouse’s details in my mind. Finally, Mrs. Williams’s gentle gaze settled on me. Then my name got called on next. I walked to the front of the class with unstable legs and set my birdhouse on the table. I explained that I found birdhouse plans online and made my own design. I went to the lumberyard (贮木场) with Dad, and a worker cut the wood and made a hole using my measurements. Then, according to my design, he showed me briefly how to nail the four pieces of wood together. Luka’s hand shot up. We were supposed to take questions — Mrs. Williams always encouraged us, saying curiosity was the whole point. But Luka always asked a billion questions. “So if someone cut the wood and made the hole, and your dad drove you there, what did you do?” he asked, standing up. Soon, the class laughed. “I came up with the idea and talked to the worker at the lumberyard about it. Then I nailed all the walls together on my own at home,” I said. I took the roof off to show the inside and picked up Dad’ s heavy hammer (锤子). I had left one nail out to show how to do it. Then, I took the hammer, but it came down on the roof instead of the nail! The birdhouse broke into parts. Several nails fell out and the roof was ruined. What a disaster! The class burst into louder laughter. Sweat streamed down my face. I took a deep breath as I tried to decide what to do next. In a flash, a possible solution occurred to me. 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。 “Now, let me show you how to build a birdhouse here,” I said.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs.Williams was the first to applaud.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Adam, I heard there's a new girl in your class.
