Knowing I loved art and debate,he suggested I enter an art-themed public-speaking competition. At the regional round,the other speakers sounded more polished.When the results were announced,I came third.As a teenager who put almost all my self-worth on achievement,this would usually have been a very 3 result for me. But my teacher didn't mention the ranking at all.Instead,he asked me one simple question:"Did your words reach anyone today?"Memories of the full-room laughter when I told my joke flooded back instantly.Had my words reached anyone today? Yes-they had.Though I had not won,I felt 4 satisfied.That small moment pushed me to finally question my old belief that only first place 5. Later,I was invited to speak again at a major museum.I no longer spoke to 6.I spoke to share.Though not the most polished speaker,I could express my ideas in my own way and connect with listeners.I began to trust my own voice.This growing confidence led me to pursue opportunities I 7 would have aveided. Years later,I returned as a judge.I had stopped chasing 8.Watching young speakers,I could now 9 the effort behind each performance rather than only see the ranking.They reminded me of my own journey,from which I had learnt to prefer being 10 to myself over being perfect.What matters,after all,is expressing myself honestly. 1.A.gave up B.fell behind C showed up D carried on 2.A.preparation B.reasoning C.thinking D.determination 高三英语第1页（共12页) 3 A.painful B.unfair C:rewarding D.surprising 4.A.briefly B.immediately C.gradually D.unexpectedly 5.A.celebrated B counted C.survived D.participated 6.A.impress B.compete C.escape D.perform 7.A.once B.still C.even D.never 8.A.attention B.challenge C.perfection D.certainty 9.A.justify B.compare C.appreciate D.spare 10.A.unique B.true C.fair D.generous 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单 词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域 作答。 A When I first 11 (start)running in high school,I loved its mathematical precision.I used to focus on every number and track my pace closely.In last week's race,at 30 miles,I suddenly felt dizzy,but I didn't quit-I turned off the screen 12 I monitored my pace and I lifted my head,13 (admire)the views along the path.With every heavy step behind me,I let go of 14 had always pressured me and just ran freely to feel the simple joy of moving forward.

But the worst problem for our child,is one I didn't anticipate:alienation () Eddie struggled to make friends at school.In fourth grade,he finally formed some bonds,mostly through sports.Yet all his peers played video games in their free time while he could not,leaving him feeling like an outsider.Later,I found he played at friends'homes.I was initially annoyed,until he came home happy to fit in.Now I can play with everyone,"he said. Growing unsure of our rule,I turned to a fellow parent for advice."Don't do to him what my parents did to me,"she said.Rigid TV bans in her childhood had made her feel like a“weirdo'”(异类).Her words further deepened my self-doubt:HadI ignored gaming's social value?Could my well-intentioned ban be too harsh for Eddie's growth? 高三英语第4页（共12页) These wornes stayed with me until one afternoon at a local grocery store.There I noticed how carefully the young cashier packed my groceries,making sure he placed the right item in the direction that would achieve maximum efficiency. “Do you play Tetris(俄罗斯方块)？”I asked.. "I do,"he said,adding that he played many other video games. So I voiced my biggest fear:Are the games so exciting that everything else in life seems boring in comparison?Thinking for a moment,he said he really wanted to become a surgeon-a goal far more important to him than any game.Interestingly, he added that gaming may help,as his fingers are now so flexible that it has enhanced his suturing(缝合)skills.. As I left the store,I wondered if my son had something in his life he liked more than video games,something that made real-life experience more exciting than anything virtual.I knew immediately what it was:the company of friends.He's not addicted to video games.He's addicted to companionship.But aren't we all? 24.The author set strict limits on Eddie's video games to A.push him to devote more energy to sports B.help him gain easier access to peer friendship C.protect him from the potential harm of gaming D.enable him to keep good academic grades 25.What can be inferred about Eddie from Paragraph 2?

Back then,the note felt like a clear urge to speed up my work.If I repeated my advisor's words on a thesis today,the student might assume that I was criticizing them for writing too fast.After all,glaciers themselves are now rapidly shrinking across all seven continents. Climate change has also changed how we perceive glaciers themselves.During the Little Ice Age,glaciers more often advanced than retreated,sometimes wiping out communities as they moved.The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley portrayed them as powerful,almost immortal forces that humans could hardly resist.Today,by contrast, we are more likely to see glaciers as victims of humanity's planet-altering powers. The same natural object now carries a very different meaning. These shifts in perception are bringing old metaphors back to life.We routinely speak of carbon footprints,greenhouse gases,and wiping species off the face of the Earth.Over time,the images behind these expressions have faded,turning them into dead metaphors.But dead metaphors do not always stay dead.Consider"calving glaciers,.”which describes how glaciers shed(脱落)ice in summer..The word“calving”? once suggested a cow giving birth,but as the phrase became routine,that image vanished.Now that climate change has disrupted the balance between ice accumulation and shedding,the metaphor has returned as a living image.Is the calving we see-today a birth ritual or a sign of ice dying? Abrupt climate change challenges not just the capacity of living things to adapt, but also the adaptive capacity of human language.The"glacial"in my 1988 thesis is not the "glacial"of today,just as the cheerful polar bear of Coca-Cola commercials is not the thin,ribs-bared polar bear we now see floating on a small platform af ice. Many years ago,I delighted in Franz Kafka's words that"a book should be the ice axe()that breaks open the frozen sea within."But now I hear his words quite differently.I want to say:"Hey Franz,lay down your axe.Go easy on that fragile frozen sea.” 高三英语第6页（共12页) 28.What can we leam from the first two paragraphs? A Shelley viewed glaciers as symbols of human power. B.Glaciers have taken on a different meaning over time. C.Language changes more quickly than the natural world. D.Glaciers have become a growing threat to human communities. 29.The author mentions"calving glaciers"mainly to A.illustrate how old images fade from language B.explain how words lose their original meaning C.reveal how language reflects changes in nature D.show how climate change revives a dead metaphor 30.What is implied in this passage? A.Nature is becoming much harder for people to describe. B.Climate change can make dead metaphors less common. C.Natural changes reshape our language and understanding. D.Language helps people adapt to changes in the natural world. D You're in the crowd at the cup final supporting your football team,when your side suddenly scores.Instantly,you join thousands cheering with joy.But when your team's victory is taken away by a controversial decision,anger spreads as people shout abuse at the judge-and you do too.The curious thing is,you don't behave in these ways when you're watching a match at home.Why does this happen? In popular culture,crowds are often associated with strong emotions and uncontrolled behaviour..This“mob(鸟合之众)mentality'”explanation says crowds reduce self-awareness and thinking.But modem psychology shows emotion is interconnected with beliefs and reasoning.Appraisal (theory suggests that our emotional experience is shaped by our perception of the relevance of social situations to our identity.That said,there is evidence that being in a crowd does change something in terms of emotion.But that change involves adding social factors,not removing thought processes. Let's look at positive emotion first-the joy,elation or excitement that people sometimes feel strongly in crowds at music festivals,sports matches or other events. 高三英语第7页（共12页) Social psychology research suggests that shared social identity-that is,when people see each other as part of an 'us'or we'-is a major basis for these positive emotional experiences,because it has a number of effects on social relations within the crowd. One effect is an expectation of support for activities that are in line with the group's identity.For example,participants report feeling supported by others(including strangers)at mass gatherings,such as music festivals.Importantly,research shows that such support feels good. Something else that happens in a crowd whose members share a social identity is the validation of emotions-and this helps explain how being part of a crowd intensifies negative emotions as well as positive ones.In interview studies of the crowd experiences of football fans,my colleagues suggested that the validation of emotional experiences by other group members serves to amplify what one is feeling. While this research involved feelings of joy,our research shows that seeing anger in fellow group members in a crowd likewise recognizes anger as an appropriate response. One can imagine the same pattern operating for hatred,fear,disgust,sadness or grief.Alone,one may feel these emotions,but to also see these same feelings on the faces of hundreds of others whose views you trust proves that your feeling is the correct one for the situation-that many other people agree with the reasons you have for feeling that way-and so makes you feel it even more strongly. How we understand emotions in crowds is not just an academic matter.Our research indicates that the heightened joy or anger that many of us express as part of a crowd is just as meaningful-and just as much an expression of who we are-as what we feel privately. 31.According to the author,how does being in crowds change our emotions? A By weakening self-awareness and rational thought. B.By adding social factors that strengthen emotion. C.By removing personal identity and moral control. D.By increasing excitement through crowded settings. 32.What does the word "validation"underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.Expression. B.Regulation. C.Association. D.Confirmation. 高三英语第8页（共12页） 33.What does the author intend to tell us? A.Crowd emotions reflect shared social identity. B.Negative emotions in crowds are less meaningful. C.Appraisal theory is the key to understanding crowd. D.A positive atmosphere is essential to shared identity. 34.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.How Crowds Make Us Lose Control- B.Why Crowds Remove Our Thoughts C.How to Control Our Emotions in Crowds D.Why Crowds Make Our Emotions Intense 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并髓 卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As I've been writing my next nonfiction book,I've also been training formy first marathon.Both are effortful,but in very different ways.Marathon training buns yet I know why it hurts and feel I am making progress.35 Some parts work; others don't Doubt then creeps in(渐s渐产生)，and I question whether I am capable of writing it.Why does difficulty sometimes feel like failure? The answer lies in the kind of work you are doing.Psychologists distinguish between two kinds of tasks:algorithmic(算法型)and heuristic(启发型).Algorithmic tasks follow a known sequence:if you do A,B and C,D will follow.36 The process is predictable and repeatable,and you know where you are at any point. Following a training plan for a marathon works in much the same way. Heuristio tasks aren't like that.They have no clear path.Imagine creating a new kind of cake.There is no recipe to follow,and even"new"is hard to define.37 You move forward in fits and starts.Some attempts will work,others will end up in the bin.At any point,you don't necessarily know whether you're close to a solution or moving further away from it.You might not even be sure a solution exists at all. This uncertainty is inherent to heuristic work and it lies at the heart of creativity and innovation. 38 But heuristic tasks,which lack clear feedback about progress,tend 高三英语第9页（共12页) to create disfluency:a discouraging feeling of cognitive effort.Because effort is not accompanied by feedback,people often misread difficulty as evidence that they are not good enough or are getting nowhere.39 When we try to create something new,we have to experiment-to get things wrong and get things right.Only by sticking with this slow,painful process of iteration (can we reach our goal. A.Both types of tasks can be hard. B.Yet such doubt is part of the process. C.The only wa forward is trial and error D.Writing a book is more like following a recipe E.Baking a cake from a recipe is a good example. F This feeling is common among many creative people. G Writing the book,however,feels unclear,like being lost in fog. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Have you ever thought "I'm unlucky"or"Bad things always happen to me"? Maybe your sports team lost a match,or a parent said no to your plans with friends. Everyone has bad days and life won't always go your way.But if you find yourself complalning a lot,or blaming others when things go wrong,you may be slipping into what experts call a "victim mindset". Why does this mindset seem so common among teenagers?Claire McLaughlin, a counsellor from Therapy Belfast,notes a unique pressure on young people."You don't yet have adult autonomy(自主权)，”she says..“Parents and teachers often make decisions for you,and it can feel 'unfair'when you disagree with those choices." But the pattern runs deeper than just external limits.Putting more emphasis on the bad things that happen,rather than the good,can make you feel as though you don't need to take responsibility for making changes.Dr Venetia,a psychologist in London,explains that this mindset can also be a way to seek attention."Sometimes people exaggerate (the impact of their experiences as a way of feeling heard," she says."Blaming others can be easier than acknowledging your own uncomfortable feelings.” 高三英语第10页（共12页) Luckily,shifting from a victim to a victor mindset is simpler than you think. One of the easiest ways is to challenge any negative language as it arises.The next time you catch yourself saying"It's not fair",stop and question that thought.What might you do to flip it around?How can you make the best of a situation?Not.being picked for a drama production could give you more time to enjoy another hobby. Failing a test might drive you to study harder.Try listing the positives. 40.What do people with a"victim mindset"usually do? 41.According to Claire McLaughlin,why can teenagers feel things are unfair? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >To feel heard,people with a "victim mindset"tend to exaggerate the impact of their experiences and acknowledge their own uncomfortable feelings. 43.How can you apply the idea of"shifting from a victim to a victor mindset"to a real-life challenge?(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 44.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你们学校近期举办了主题为“AI助力语言学 习”（AI-assisted Language Learning）的校园活动，你的外国好友Jim对此很感 兴趣，发来邮件询问有关情况。请你用英文给他回复， 内容包括： 1.活动内容； 2.你的收获。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 高三英语第11页（共12页)
