So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (面团). I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace. After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity. But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35．Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof. A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is. But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go. So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace? A．To get rid of boring daily life. B．To collect secondhand books. C．To get some extra income. D．To sell the books he wrote. 25．(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be? A．Someone thirsty for knowledge. B．Someone with unrealistic ideas. C．Someone addicted to the Internet. D．Someone expert at doing business. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Relieved. B．Hesitant. C．Pleased. D．Nervous. 27．(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author? A．Greedy. B．Knowledgeable. C．Humorous. D．Considerate. （本题10分）Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is one of the most honored poets in American literature. Although fewer than twelve of her poems were published during her lifetime, she wrote nearly 1,800 poems. Many of them explore deep themes such as nature, death, and the inner life of the human mind. Her poetic style is known for its unusual punctuation, short lines, and powerful use of metaphor. Dickinson’s unique voice continues to inspire readers worldwide. One of Dickinson’s most famous poems begins with these lines: ‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers - That perches (栖息) in the soul - In just two lines, she introduces an extended metaphor that runs through the whole poem. She compares hope to a bird. Like a bird, hope lives inside a person’s heart and never leaves. This “feathered thing” sings a sweet, wordless song that continues even in the strongest storms. The image of a bird singing in bad weather makes hope feel close and real. What makes Dickinson’s metaphor so distinctive is the contrast she creates. Unlike a real bird, which may fly away when conditions become hard, the hope-bird never asks for anything in return, not even a single piece of bread. It simply stays and sings, offering comfort without expecting payment. This quality — giving everything and asking for nothing — is rare. This idea that hope gives us so much yet asks nothing of us has made the poem enduringly popular for over 150 years. Another striking feature of the poem is its deliberate simplicity. Dickinson avoids complex imagery or difficult language. Instead, she uses everyday objects — feathers, a bird, a resting place, a piece of bread — to describe one of the most abstract human emotions. By making the abstract feel concrete, she allows readers to see, feel, and even hear hope in a completely new way. This simplicity is a careful choice, not a lack of skill. For many readers, the poem offers not just beautiful literature, but also a comforting message about the human spirit. No matter how harsh life’s storms become, hope remains with us, forever ready to sing. In this way, a simple metaphor becomes a lasting source of comfort that still touches hearts today. 28．(2.5分)What does the author mean by “extended metaphor”? A．A metaphor developed through several related details. B．A metaphor used a single time in a poem. C．A metaphor comparing two different emotions. D．A metaphor that repeats the exact same line. 29．(2.5分)What makes Dickinson’s metaphor unusual? A．The hope-bird flies away when life gets tough. B．The hope-bird sings only during storms. C．The hope-bird never leaves or asks for anything. D．The hope-bird is a real bird living in the soul. 30．(2.5分)How does the author discuss the poem’s simplicity? A．By arguing simple poems are more valuable. B．By comparing her skill to other poets’. C．By listing complex words Dickinson avoids. D．By showing how ordinary items make hope concrete. 31．(2.5分)According to the passage, what can be inferred from Dickinson’s poem about hope? A．The song of hope can barely be heard by those who have suffered greatly. B．Hope is more valuable during difficult times than that in peaceful ones. C．Hope’s strength lies in its continuous presence without demanding anything. D．Hope is like a bird that must be fed regularly to keep singing. （本题10分）Leonardo da Vinci (1452‑1519), a celebrated Italian master, was far more than an exceptional painter. He was also a brilliant engineer, scientist and inventor, gaining remarkable achievements across diverse fields. At fourteen, he began systematic art learning in Florence and received seven years of professional training. Afterwards, he worked independently for nobles across Italy and the French king. Though he started his career as a painter, he spent most time serving as an engineer. He painted extremely slowly and often left works unfinished; besides, frequent wars made city defence builders more in demand than artists. Still, he stole spare time to complete plenty of timeless masterpieces. After his death, numerous handwritten notebooks were uncovered. Full of delicate drawings of creatures, plants and ahead‑of‑time inventions like aircraft and tanks, these works also contained precise anatomical (解剖学的) studies of human bodies. What surprised people most was that most of the notes were written in reverse handwriting, readable only with a mirror. For centuries, the notebooks remained unpublished, his scientific thoughts hidden from the world. Da Vinci never drew a clear line between art and science. He insisted that solid theory was the foundation of painting, and that his painting skills helped him record scientific findings clearly. Curious about everything around him, he combined art, invention and science so perfectly that they seemed to become one. Few can match his extraordinary gift, yet his determined exploratory spirit inspires generations to keep creating, thinking and improving the world constantly. Da Vinci was not a painter who happened to love science, but a genius who regarded art and science as two sides of the same coin. 32．(2.5分)Why did da Vinci mainly work as an engineer? A．Noble employers disliked his painting style. B．He believed engineering brought greater rewards. C．He was lazy and failed to finish most of his artworks. D．His paintings progressed slowly and wars needed more engineers. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Written backwards. B．Hard to read properly. C．Beautifully shaped in form. D．Easy to make out and follow. 34．(2.5分)What was da Vinci’s opinion on art creation? A．Art comes merely from science. B．Painting needs a sharp eye. C．Art needs scientific theory support. D．Science and art have much in common. 35．(2.5分)Which best describes Leonardo da Vinci? A．Modest and productive. B．Talented and all‑round. C．Cautious and far‑sighted. D．Ambitious and idealistic. （本题12.5分）When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot. 36(2.5分) The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief. I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen. 37(2.5分) When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging. 38(2.5分) Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. 39(2.5分) Games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun. Two and a half months into this journey, I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. To be honest, it made me more aware and more appreciative of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. 40(2.5分) A．It was hard at first. B．The result was shocking. C．And those are things I do want to be addicted to. D．When I return to color, my eyes are no longer used to it. E．I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes. F．Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back. G．There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I never thought I could be a writer. I didn’t come from a family connected to the 41 world, which I perceived as a major 42 . After my undergraduate degree, convinced that writing wasn’t for me, I 43 to study teaching. Then came an afternoon that 44 everything. I was teaching poetry, encouraging students to write about their 45 . And then, at the end of the lesson, one child asked me a question: “Have you always wanted to be a 46 , Miss?” I explained that when I was his age, I actually wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t think I quite had what it 47 . The boy replied with a 48 look, “Well, you are telling us to live our dreams when you haven’t even done it yourself. Have you even 49 ?” I was struck speechless — he was 50 . Who was I to 51 them on bravery and risk when I had never taken myself or my own 52 seriously? On the basis of that 53 , I applied to go back to university and study creative writing. There were times when I found myself wondering if I should pack it all in, but the boy’s words kept ringing in my ears: I knew I needed nothing else to succeed but a bit of 54 and hard work. I 55 to find a way out of my shame and into a pattern of work that I loved. 41．(1分)A．medical B．artistic C．scientific D．literary 42．(1分)A．subject B．problem C．event D．breakthrough 43．(1分)A．stepped aside B．got up C．went off D．turned back 44．(1分)A．changed B．ruined C．revealed D．interrupted 45．(1分)A．hobbies B．families C．dreams D．lessons 46．(1分)A．writer B．teacher C．reporter D．publisher 47．(1分)A．kept B．left C．held D．took 48．(1分)A．satisfied B．guilty C．grateful D．disapproving 49．(1分)A．tried B．noticed C．asked D．waited 50．(1分)A．rude B．right C．shy D．silent 51．(1分)A．examine B．congratulate C．lecture D．consult 52．(1分)A．values B．imagination C．inspiration D．desires 53．(1分)A．cooperation B．conversation C．administration D．explanation 54．(1分)A．self-belief B．know-how C．brainstorming D．teamwork 55．(1分)A．remembered B．agreed C．managed D．hesitated 四、语法填空 （本题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。 China’s online literature has achieved unexpected global 56(1.5分) (popular) as the international web literature market experiences rapid expansion.

For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 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。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 4 Exploring Literature 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?

So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (面团). I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace. After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity. But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35．Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof. A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is. But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go. So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace? A．To get rid of boring daily life. B．To collect secondhand books. C．To get some extra income. D．To sell the books he wrote. 25．(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be? A．Someone thirsty for knowledge. B．Someone with unrealistic ideas. C．Someone addicted to the Internet. D．Someone expert at doing business. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Relieved. B．Hesitant. C．Pleased. D．Nervous. 27．(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author? A．Greedy. B．Knowledgeable. C．Humorous. D．Considerate. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自己在亚马逊网站上出售自己收藏的旧书的经历。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things.( 我在找一份能赚外快的兼职，这样我就能买得起我最喜欢的东西了。)”可知，作者加入亚马逊的目的是想通过卖书增加一些额外收入。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity.(过了一定的年龄，你会忘记曾经的自己。显然，我是一个善于思考的人。我的一部分希望我还是那个人，一个有求知欲的人。)”可推知，作者过去是一个渴求知识的人。故选A。 26．词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词前面的“And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger(尽管我有三本《枪手)”和后面的“ It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore.(那是一本书，我很喜欢。我喜欢回忆我第一次在商场书店买到这本书时的情景。)”可知，作者虽然有三本相同的书, 但是由于喜爱书，以及它带来的记忆，所以还是对是否卖掉这些书犹豫不决。故划线词与B选项“Hesitant. (犹豫的)”为同义词。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (我甚至一度考虑送披萨，但我意识到，第一天晚上我就会被解雇，因为我从顾客的披萨上拿走了所有的香肠，只留下了面团。)”以及最后一段“So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books.(所以，无论你做什么，都不要买我的书。)”可推知，作者以幽默的口吻介绍了自己的兼职工作的想法，以及作者以幽默的口吻描述了自己与每本书之间的回忆和喜爱，请求顾客们不要买书，由此体现出作者是一个幽默的人。故选C。 （本题10分）Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is one of the most honored poets in American literature. Although fewer than twelve of her poems were published during her lifetime, she wrote nearly 1,800 poems. Many of them explore deep themes such as nature, death, and the inner life of the human mind. Her poetic style is known for its unusual punctuation, short lines, and powerful use of metaphor. Dickinson’s unique voice continues to inspire readers worldwide. One of Dickinson’s most famous poems begins with these lines: ‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers - That perches (栖息) in the soul - In just two lines, she introduces an extended metaphor that runs through the whole poem. She compares hope to a bird. Like a bird, hope lives inside a person’s heart and never leaves. This “feathered thing” sings a sweet, wordless song that continues even in the strongest storms. The image of a bird singing in bad weather makes hope feel close and real. What makes Dickinson’s metaphor so distinctive is the contrast she creates. Unlike a real bird, which may fly away when conditions become hard, the hope-bird never asks for anything in return, not even a single piece of bread. It simply stays and sings, offering comfort without expecting payment. This quality — giving everything and asking for nothing — is rare. This idea that hope gives us so much yet asks nothing of us has made the poem enduringly popular for over 150 years. Another striking feature of the poem is its deliberate simplicity. Dickinson avoids complex imagery or difficult language. Instead, she uses everyday objects — feathers, a bird, a resting place, a piece of bread — to describe one of the most abstract human emotions. By making the abstract feel concrete, she allows readers to see, feel, and even hear hope in a completely new way. This simplicity is a careful choice, not a lack of skill. For many readers, the poem offers not just beautiful literature, but also a comforting message about the human spirit. No matter how harsh life’s storms become, hope remains with us, forever ready to sing. In this way, a simple metaphor becomes a lasting source of comfort that still touches hearts today. 28．(2.5分)What does the author mean by “extended metaphor”? A．A metaphor developed through several related details. B．A metaphor used a single time in a poem. C．A metaphor comparing two different emotions. D．A metaphor that repeats the exact same line. 29．(2.5分)What makes Dickinson’s metaphor unusual? A．The hope-bird flies away when life gets tough. B．The hope-bird sings only during storms. C．The hope-bird never leaves or asks for anything. D．The hope-bird is a real bird living in the soul. 30．(2.5分)How does the author discuss the poem’s simplicity? A．By arguing simple poems are more valuable. B．By comparing her skill to other poets’. C．By listing complex words Dickinson avoids. D．By showing how ordinary items make hope concrete. 31．(2.5分)According to the passage, what can be inferred from Dickinson’s poem about hope? A．The song of hope can barely be heard by those who have suffered greatly. B．Hope is more valuable during difficult times than that in peaceful ones. C．Hope’s strength lies in its continuous presence without demanding anything. D．Hope is like a bird that must be fed regularly to keep singing. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文介绍了美国诗人艾米莉·狄金森及其一首著名诗歌。在诗中“希望”被比作小鸟的延伸隐喻，探讨了这一隐喻的独特之处以及诗歌语言简洁性的艺术效果。 【详解】28．词句猜测题。根据第二段“that runs through the whole poem. She compares hope to a bird. Like a bird, hope lives inside a person’s heart and never leaves. (一个贯穿全诗的……。她将希望比作一只鸟。如同鸟儿一般，希望存在于人的心中，永不离去)”可知，作者指出狄金森在诗的前两行引入了一个“extended metaphor”，将希望比作小鸟，随后整个诗歌都围绕这一比喻展开。由此推测“extended metaphor”指的是通过多个相关意象展开并贯穿全诗的比喻。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“What makes Dickinson’s metaphor so distinctive is the contrast she creates. Unlike a real bird, which may fly away when conditions become hard, the hope-bird never asks for anything in return, not even a single piece of bread. It simply stays and sings, offering comfort without expecting payment. This quality — giving everything and asking for nothing — is rare.(狄金森的隐喻之所以如此独特，是因为她所创造的对比。与真正的鸟不同，当环境艰难时，它可能会飞走；而希望之鸟却从不索取回报，哪怕只是一块面包。它静静地伫立着，唱着歌，给予安慰却从不求回报。这种品质——付出一切却从不索取——极为罕见)”可知，作者指出真正的鸟在环境恶劣时会飞走，但狄金森笔下的“希望之鸟”恰恰相反——不求回报。这种“给予一切却不求回报”的品质正是这一隐喻的独特之处。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Another striking feature of the poem is its deliberate simplicity. Dickinson avoids complex imagery or difficult language. Instead, she uses everyday objects — feathers, a bird, a resting place, a piece of bread — to describe one of the most abstract human emotions. By making the abstract feel concrete, she allows readers to see, feel, and even hear hope in a completely new way. (这首诗的另一个显著特点是其刻意的简洁。狄金森避免使用复杂的意象或艰深的语言，而是借助日常事物——羽毛、一只鸟、一处安息之地、一片面包——来描绘人类最抽象的情感之一。通过让抽象变得具体，她使读者得以以一种全新的方式看见、感受甚至听见希望)”可知，狄金森避免使用复杂的意象或难懂的语言，而是用日常物品来描述抽象的“希望”。作者通过展示狄金森如何用具体事物使抽象概念变得可感来讨论诗歌的简洁性。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“No matter how harsh life’s storms become, hope remains with us, forever ready to sing.(无论生活中的风暴多么猛烈，希望始终与我们同在，永远准备着歌唱)”及第三段“Unlike a real bird, which may fly away when conditions become hard, the hope-bird never asks for anything in return, not even a single piece of bread. It simply stays and sings, offering comfort without expecting payment.(与真正的鸟不同，当环境艰难时，它可能会飞走；而希望之鸟却从不索取回报，哪怕只是一块面包。它静静地伫立着，唱着歌，给予安慰却从不求回报)”可知，作者暗示希望的力量在于它持续存在且不求回报。 （本题10分）Leonardo da Vinci (1452‑1519), a celebrated Italian master, was far more than an exceptional painter. He was also a brilliant engineer, scientist and inventor, gaining remarkable achievements across diverse fields. At fourteen, he began systematic art learning in Florence and received seven years of professional training. Afterwards, he worked independently for nobles across Italy and the French king. Though he started his career as a painter, he spent most time serving as an engineer. He painted extremely slowly and often left works unfinished; besides, frequent wars made city defence builders more in demand than artists. Still, he stole spare time to complete plenty of timeless masterpieces. After his death, numerous handwritten notebooks were uncovered. Full of delicate drawings of creatures, plants and ahead‑of‑time inventions like aircraft and tanks, these works also contained precise anatomical (解剖学的) studies of human bodies. What surprised people most was that most of the notes were written in reverse handwriting, readable only with a mirror. For centuries, the notebooks remained unpublished, his scientific thoughts hidden from the world. Da Vinci never drew a clear line between art and science. He insisted that solid theory was the foundation of painting, and that his painting skills helped him record scientific findings clearly. Curious about everything around him, he combined art, invention and science so perfectly that they seemed to become one. Few can match his extraordinary gift, yet his determined exploratory spirit inspires generations to keep creating, thinking and improving the world constantly. Da Vinci was not a painter who happened to love science, but a genius who regarded art and science as two sides of the same coin. 32．(2.5分)Why did da Vinci mainly work as an engineer? A．Noble employers disliked his painting style. B．He believed engineering brought greater rewards. C．He was lazy and failed to finish most of his artworks. D．His paintings progressed slowly and wars needed more engineers. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Written backwards. B．Hard to read properly. C．Beautifully shaped in form. D．Easy to make out and follow. 34．(2.5分)What was da Vinci’s opinion on art creation? A．Art comes merely from science. B．Painting needs a sharp eye. C．Art needs scientific theory support. D．Science and art have much in common. 35．(2.5分)Which best describes Leonardo da Vinci? A．Modest and productive. B．Talented and all‑round. C．Cautious and far‑sighted. D．Ambitious and idealistic. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文主要介绍达・芬奇的生平、遗留笔记，着重阐述他将艺术与科学融为一体，二者相辅相成，他的探索精神激励后人。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“He painted extremely slowly and often left works unfinished; besides, frequent wars made city defence builders more in demand than artists.(他的绘画速度极慢，作品常常未完成；此外，频繁的战争使得城市防御建造者比艺术家更有需求。)”可知，达芬奇画得极慢且常未完成作品，同时战争导致城市防御建造者（工程师）比艺术家更急需，因此他主要担任工程师。选项D正确概括了这两个原因。 33．词句猜测题。根据第三段“readable only with a mirror(仅可通过镜像阅读)”可知，笔记是反向书写，需用镜子才能阅读。reverse意为“反向的，倒写的”，与A选项“written backwards”同义。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“He insisted that solid theory was the foundation of painting, and that his painting skills helped him record scientific findings clearly.(他坚持认为扎实的理论是绘画的基础，并且自己的绘画技艺有助于把科学发现清晰地记录下来。)”可知，达芬奇认为坚实的理论是绘画的基础，即艺术创作需要科学理论支持。 35．推理判断题。根据第一段“He was also a brilliant engineer, scientist and inventor, gaining remarkable achievements across diverse fields.(他还是一位才华横溢的工程师、科学家和发明家，在多个领域取得了非凡成就。)”可知，达芬奇才华横溢且全面发展，可用talented和all‑round来描述他。 （本题12.5分）When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot. 36(2.5分) The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief. I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen. 37(2.5分) When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging. 38(2.5分) Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. 39(2.5分) Games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun. Two and a half months into this journey, I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. To be honest, it made me more aware and more appreciative of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. 40(2.5分) A．It was hard at first. B．The result was shocking. C．And those are things I do want to be addicted to. D．When I return to color, my eyes are no longer used to it. E．I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes. F．Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back. G．There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life. 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．G 39．F 40．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者尝试手机黑白模式后减少使用时长并更珍惜现实生活的经历。 【详解】36．上文“When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot.(当我看到一篇关于将手机切换为黑白模式好处的文章时，我决定试一试)”说明作者决定尝试黑白模式。空后“The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief.(切换的那一刻，我不再感到迫切想看手机——一种直到消失后我才知道有多强烈的冲动。我感到一种全身的解脱)”说明效果立竿见影，令人震惊。空处需承接上文引出令人震惊的结果。选项B“The result was shocking.(结果令人震惊)”承上启下，与后文具体描述效果相呼应，符合语境。 37．上文“I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen.(当我从家庭办公室走到厨房时，我会把手机留在房间里)”说明作者开始主动远离手机。空后“When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done.(当我确实查看手机时，任务一完成就立刻放下)”说明即使查看也会迅速放下。空处需与上文构成递进，说明忘记拿手机的时间更长了。选项E“I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes.(我会忘记拿起手机好几个小时而不是几分钟)”与上文“leave my phone in my room”形成递进，说明忘记拿手机从几分钟变成了几小时，符合语境。 38．上文“The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging.(我每天花在手机上的时间减少了40%，降至平均每天4小时40分钟——仍然高得令人尴尬，但不再是我之前平均的令人眩晕的八个多小时)”说明黑白模式效果显著。空后“Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I'll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer.(因为手机上的接听和拒绝按钮都是灰色的，我有时会挂断我想接的电话)”开始讲述黑白模式的缺点。空处需引出“有小缺点”这一话题。选项G“There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life.(我的黑白在线生活有一些小缺点)”引出下文关于缺点的具体描述，符合语境。 39．上文“Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I'll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer.(因为手机上的接听和拒绝按钮都是灰色的，我有时会挂断我想接的电话)”说明误挂电话的问题。空后“Games weren't as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun.(游戏没那么好玩了，所以我开始在平板上玩，并发现我喜欢它强制实现的工作和娱乐之间的分离：智能手机用于无聊的事；平板用于娱乐)”说明另一个缺点。空处需对误挂电话的问题进行补充说明。选项F“Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back.(幸运的是，现在没人介意你回拨给他们)”承接上文误挂电话的问题，给出解决办法，与后文另一个缺点形成并列，符合语境。 40．上文“Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids.(既然我不再用手机找乐子了，我发现自己在其他方面寻找乐趣——读更多书，和朋友策划更多聚会，和孩子们一起玩)”说明作者找到了新的乐趣。空处需对上文进行总结升华。选项C“And those are things I do want to be addicted to.(而这些才是我真正想沉迷的事情)”中“those”指代上文的读书、聚会、陪孩子等活动，总结全文并与开头沉迷手机形成对比，升华主题，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I never thought I could be a writer. I didn’t come from a family connected to the 41 world, which I perceived as a major 42 . After my undergraduate degree, convinced that writing wasn’t for me, I 43 to study teaching. Then came an afternoon that 44 everything. I was teaching poetry, encouraging students to write about their 45 . And then, at the end of the lesson, one child asked me a question: “Have you always wanted to be a 46 , Miss?” I explained that when I was his age, I actually wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t think I quite had what it 47 . The boy replied with a 48 look, “Well, you are telling us to live our dreams when you haven’t even done it yourself. Have you even 49 ?” I was struck speechless — he was 50 .

For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 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。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. Deliberately, I began to clean. I remembered how Kim always took care of everything she owned and decided to do the same. I started by tidying up my desk and sorting through the scraps of paper. I took back the book I had carelessly placed on her desk. I picked up the socks and shirts scattered around and I made my bed. I even put some pencils into my pencil holder. Then, I swept the floor, including her side. I got so absorbed into the cleaning that I didn’t even notice that Kim had come out from under the covers. She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. When I looked up and met Kim’s eyes, she smiled at me and said in a grateful voice “Thanks.” After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. I woke up one morning to find my desk already tidied — Kim had done it silently. In return, I began taking the time to organize my things quietly, just to show her I was willing to meet her halfway. These small gestures became our new way of communicating. There was a silent understanding between us. The room still wasn’t perfect, and we still had our minor disagreements, but we had learned to live with each other’s differences. She taught me discipline; I taught her patience. She laughed at my “chaotic genius,” and I teased her about her “robot-like” habits. We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. It was about understanding, helping, and holding on to each other, even when things got messy. And sometimes, that’s enough. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了不爱整洁的作者与十分爱干净的室友Kim多次发生矛盾，最终因一只脏鞋爆发激烈争吵。后来Kim得知奶奶病重，伤心地哭泣。曾有过相似痛苦经历的作者虽仍在生气，却十分关心她，两人紧张的关系迎来转机。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着眼前的混乱，我忽然有了个主意。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者看到杂乱后主动打扫房间，效仿室友整理自己的物品，甚至清扫了室友那边，这让室友Kim十分惊讶并向她道谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上之后，我们用温馨的小举动和平相处。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：那晚之后，两人用小举动互相包容，学会接纳差异，懂得了相处在于理解与扶持。 2.续写线索：作者主动打扫房间——清扫了Kim那边卫生——Kim十分惊讶并向作者道谢——两人学会互相包容和接纳差异——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打扫：clean/sweep ②拥有：own/possess ③决定做：decide to do /be determined to do 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. （运用了that和who引导的宾语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。What kind of literature do you like best?
