It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams. When I was twelve, my parents enrolled me in violin lessons. The instrument felt like a part of me as I practiced scales and simple melodies. My teacher, Mrs. Thompson, praised my progress, and I dreamed of playing in the school orchestra. But as schoolwork piled up and extracurricular activities took up more time, practicing became a chore. I started skipping sessions, telling myself I would return to it later. Soon, the violin was stored away, tucked into the storage room. Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case. Inside, the instrument looked as clean and untouched as the day I had left it. Holding it felt like reuniting with an old friend. I tuned the strings hesitantly, then drew the bow across them. The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again. Months later, I performed at a small community event. Standing on stage, I played a piece I had once struggled with. The audience’s applause was overwhelming, but the real victory was reclaiming a part of myself I had abandoned. Looking back, I realized that dreams that are on the shelf aren’t lost forever. Life may push them away, but they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again. The violin taught me that passion, once sparked, can be revived if we dare to reach for it. The storage room may still hold relics of my past, but the violin is no longer among them. It hangs on my wall, a daily reminder that some things are worth revisiting, no matter how long they’ve been away. 4. What made the author decide to pick up the violin again? A. The praise from Mrs. Thompson. B. The performance at the university concert. C. The encouragement from the audience. D. The storage room that holds his relics. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author’s parents forced him to learn the violin in the beginning. B. Playing the violin was a piece of cake for the author when revisiting it. C. The author was accustomed to putting off extracurricular activities. D. Reclaiming the violin-playing skill took the author much effort. 6. What does the underlined phrase “on the shelf” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. On display. B. In danger. C. Put aside. D. At hand. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Unfinished Symphony. B. The Dusty Storage Room. C. My Successful Performance. D. My abandoned dream. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从童年学习小提琴、中途因学业搁置，到大学受音乐会启发重拾梦想并最终登台表演的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case.(多年过去了，我忘记了小提琴，直到我在大学里参加了一场音乐会。音乐家的手指毫不费力地在琴弦上移动，创造出一种交响乐，触动了我内心深处的某种东西。回忆如潮水般涌上心头——松香的香味，琴弓的感觉，演奏音乐的喜悦。那天晚上，我做了一个决定。我爬进储藏室，擦去小提琴盒上的灰尘。)”可知，大学音乐会的演出让作者决定重拾小提琴。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again. (起初声音很粗糙，但经过每一次练习，音乐再次流淌起来)”可推断，作者重新掌握小提琴技巧付出了很多努力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文的内容“aren’t lost forever (……不会永远消失)”和“they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again (它们等待着我们再次捡起的时刻)”可知，“被搁置的”梦想才不会永远消失，会等待着我们再次捡起。所以划线短语“on the shelf”意为“被搁置”，与put aside意义一致。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是第一段“The dusty storage room was filled with relics of my past, but one item always caught my eye: a violin case. It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams. (满是灰尘的储藏室里堆满了我过去的遗物，但有一样东西总是引起我的注意：一个小提琴盒。它已经在那里很多年了，静静地提醒着我失去已久的梦想。)”可知，文章以“未完成的交响乐”比喻被搁置的梦想，最终通过重拾小提琴完成了对“人生乐章”的续写，A项“The Unfinished Symphony”既呼应音乐主题，又暗含“梦想重启”的核心主旨。故选A项。 C It seems like everyone is a little stressed out these days — even children in their “carefree” teen years. In fact, the changes that teenagers go through during that time of their life make them especially sensitive to stress. Adolescence (青春期) is one of the most stressful periods of change in life. Adolescents are having rapid physical changes while trying to make out who they are, manage changes in social life with family and friends, and deal with increasing study pressure. With so much happening at once, stress can build quickly from different causes. At the same time, their brains are still developing, especially in areas that help control feelings. This makes everyday challenges feel more stressful. A recent study done by Arizona State University researchers found simple everyday habits, such as taking part in sports and getting quality sleep, can greatly reduce stress and support teenagers’ well-being. Different from one-time traditional surveys, the research used a 30-day diary method to record adolescents’ daily changes in feelings, following the real-time connection between stress, sleep and sports participation (参与). The study shows sleep plays two key roles in reducing stress. Quality sleep ahead of stress acts as preparation, making teens mentally (精神上) calm and focused enough to face daily challenges. Sleep after a stressful day helps them restore mental balance and avoid negative feelings influencing the next day. When it comes to sports, the good lies in positive experiences rather than winning or performance. Positive sports experiences help teenagers build confidence, develop a sense of achievement and strengthen social connections. Researchers remind parents and teachers that teenage stress comes and goes every day. A teenager who generally seems fine may suffer from heavy stress on a certain day. Therefore, adults should pay attention to teenagers’ daily mental changes and encourage them to keep small, healthy daily habits. 8. Why are teenagers more likely to feel stressed? A. They are taking on more duties. B. They are too focused on their looks. C. They are experiencing many changes. D. They are unprepared for social competition. 9. What is the advantage of the 30-day diary method over traditional surveys? A. It needs fewer researchers. B. It records daily feelings. C. It costs much less money. D. It lasts for a shorter time. 10. Why does playing sports benefit teenagers? A. It builds confidence and social ties. B. It replaces the need for more sleep. C. It gives them chances of winning. D. It removes all daily study pressure. 11. What does the text focus on? A. How to help teenagers reduce daily stress. B. What to expect from students in high school. C. A new study on adolescent brain development. D. The importance of parents’ care for teenagers. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍青少年因身心、社交和学业等诸多变化更容易感受到压力，一项研究发现优质睡眠和积极的运动体验能够缓解压力，并建议成年人关注青少年日常情绪，鼓励健康小习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In fact, the changes that teenagers go through during that time of their life make them especially sensitive to stress.(事实上，青少年在这段时间所经历的变化使他们对压力特别敏感)”以及第二段“Adolescence (青春期) is one of the most stressful periods of change in life. Adolescents are having rapid physical changes while trying to make out who they are, manage changes in social life with family and friends, and deal with increasing study pressure. (青春期是人生中变化最多、压力最大的阶段之一。青少年经历快速的身体变化，同时努力认清自我、处理和家人朋友的社交变化，应对不断增加的学业压力)”可知，青少年更容易感到压力是因为他们正在经历许多变化。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Different from one-time traditional surveys, the research used a 30-day diary method to record adolescents’ daily changes in feelings, following the real-time connection between stress, sleep and sports participation (参与). (和一次性的传统调查不同，这项研究采用30天日记法记录青少年情绪的每日变化，追踪压力、睡眠和运动参与之间的实时联系)”可知，30天日记法相较于传统调查的优势在于它能够记录日常的情绪变化。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Positive sports experiences help teenagers build confidence, develop a sense of achievement and strengthen social connections. (积极的运动体验帮助青少年建立自信、获得成就感并巩固社交关系)”可知，参与体育运动对青少年有益是因为它能帮助建立自信和社交联系。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一、二段指出了青少年面临压力的现状和原因；第三至五段介绍了一项研究，说明高质量的睡眠和参与体育运动等日常习惯能有效减轻青少年的压力；最后一段呼吁成年人关注青少年的心理变化并鼓励他们养成健康的小习惯。综合来看，全文主要围绕“如何帮助青少年减轻日常压力”这一核心话题展开。 D Giving students a chance to write about their passions can help them engage (参与) not only in writing but also in what they’re learning. Research suggests when given the opportunity to write more about subjects that interest them, students tend to spend more time in the process. To spend their writing time on a subject that stimulates their interests can also help students build important skills they need in their education. Some research points out a deep knowledge of a subject is essential before students can analyze, evaluate or synthesize. A student passionate (热情的) about a topic likely knows a great deal about the subject, and that is a key first step before making connections with and critically analyzing a subject, and applying those skills to other subjects, as well. Curriculum designers want to look at using journal writing as one method of involving students in topics they care about or have a passion to explore. A 2006 paper found journal assignments helped students figure out what they were learning, rather than just memorize a topic, which promoted more critical thinking skills. Poetry festivals, held by the Sharon Public Schools in Massachusetts, or spoken word assignments, used by teachers at schools including the Academy of American Studies in New York City, are other ways educators can help direct students and their passions into writing. Allowing students to choose their writing topics may not only help bring about more assignments full of passion, but also spark the development of key learning skills. 12. What makes students spend more time writing? A. The interest. B. The knowledge. C. The writing skill. D. The analysis. 13. Why do curriculum designers use journal assignments? A. To help students do their homework. B. To help students understand what they are learning. C. To help students get a good score. D. To help students read the journals. 14. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Giving students a chance to learn special subjects. B. Writing subjects students love encourages learning. C. Journal writing help develop students’ speaking skill. D. Allowing students to choose their own pace of study. 15. In which column of a newspaper does the text most probably appear? A. Science. B. Geography. C. Health. D. Education. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【原文】本文主要介绍了让学生书写自己热爱的主题，能够激发写作投入度，促进知识理解，助力学习技能发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Research suggests when given the opportunity to write more about subjects that interest them, students tend to spend more time in the process.(研究表明，当有机会写更多他们感兴趣的主题时，学生往往会在这个过程中花更多的时间。)”可知，是“兴趣”让学生花更多时间写作。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A 2006 paper found journal assignments helped students figure out what they were learning, rather than just memorize a topic, which promoted more critical thinking skills.(2006年的一篇论文发现，日记作业帮助学生理解所学内容，而不是仅仅记住某个主题，从而提升学生的批判性思维能力)”可知，课程设计者使用日记作业是为了帮助学生理解他们正在学习的内容。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Giving students a chance to write about their passions can help them engage not only in writing but also in what they’re learning. (给学生一个写他们热爱的东西的机会，不仅能帮助他们投入到写作中，还能帮助他们投入到所学内容中。)”以及全文内容可知，文章第一段开篇点题，指出让学生写他们热爱的事物不仅能让他们参与写作，还能促进学习；最后一段总结指出，允许学生选择写作主题不仅能带来充满热情的作业，还能激发关键学习技能的发展。因此推断全文围绕“写学生喜欢的主题能鼓励和促进学习”展开。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了学生的写作兴趣、课程设计、学习技能培养等话题，文中多次出现students（学生）、education（教育）、curriculum designers（课程设计者）、educators（教育工作者）等词汇，因此该文章最有可能出现在报纸的教育（Education）板块。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we’re told “This coffee is hot” at our local cafe, the message is clear. ____16____ Does that mean it’s cold? Or just warm? A team of scientists conducted experiments to identify how we process phrases that include negation (i.e., “not”). In the experiments, participants read — on a computer monitor — adjective phrases with and without negation (e.g., “really not good” and “really really good”) and rated their meaning on a scale from 1 (“really really bad”) to 10 (“really really good”) using a mouse. This scale was designed, in part, to determine if participants interpreted phrases with negation (否定) as the opposite of those without negation. In other words, did they interpret “really not good” as “bad”? ____17____ Here, the researchers found that participants took longer to interpret phrases with negation than they did phrases without negation — indicating, not surprisingly given the greater complexity, that negation slows down our processing of meaning. In addition, drawing from how the participants moved their mouse, negated phrases were first interpreted as affirmative (i.e., “not hot” was initially interpreted as closer to “hot” than to “cold”), ____18____, suggesting that, for instance, “not hot” is not interpreted as either “hot” or “cold”, but as something between “hot” and “cold”. That is to say, negation merely reduces the temperature of our coffee and does not make it “cold”. “This research highlights the complexity that goes into language comprehension, showing that this process involves more than just processing individual word meanings,” observes Arianna Zuanazzi, lead author of the study. ____19____. Especially, in communication, ranging from advertising to legal filings. As can be seen in a smoking cessation ad — “If people keep telling you to quit smoking cigarettes, don’t listen — they’re probably trying to trick you into living.” Another case in point is the classic slogan of a British perfume advertisement — “ ____20____” In addition, large language models in AI tools have difficulty interpreting passages containing negation. The researchers say that their results show how humans process such phrases while also potentially pointing to ways to understand and improve AI functionality. A. Don’t be yourself. B. The answer is absolutely no. C. Our perfume suits you perfectly. D. but later shifted to a softened meaning E. But how do we interpret “It is not hot”? F. Or, instead, understand it as something more measured? G. Negation is often used intentionally to mask a clear understanding of a phrase. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家关于人类理解含否定词短语的实验，揭示否定词对语言理解的影响及相关应用。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“When we’re told “This coffee is hot” at our local cafe, the message is clear. (当我们在当地咖啡馆被告知“这杯咖啡很烫”时，这个信息很明确)”以及空后的“Does that mean it’s cold? Or just warm?(那意味着它是凉的吗？还是只是温的)”可知，此空应引出含否定词的相关表述，E选项“But how do we interpret “It is not hot”? (但是我们如何理解“它不烫”这句话呢)”承接上文的肯定表述，引出下文的疑问，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“In other words, did they interpret “really not good” as “bad”? (换句话说，他们会把“真的不好”理解成“糟糕”吗？)”可知，此空应是与该问句并列的另一相关疑问，F选项“Or, instead, understand it as something more measured(或者说，反而会把它理解成某种程度更缓和的表述呢)”中的Or承接上文的问句，提出另一种可能性，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“In addition, drawing from how the participants moved their mouse, negated phrases were first interpreted as affirmative (i.e., “not hot” was initially interpreted as closer to “hot” than to “cold”) (此外，从参与者移动鼠标的方式来看，含否定词的短语最初会被理解为肯定含义，比如“不烫”一开始会被理解成更接近“烫”而非“凉”)”以及空后的“suggesting that, for instance, “not hot” is not interpreted as either “hot” or “cold”, but as something between “hot” and “cold”. (这表明，比如“不烫”不会被理解成“烫”或者“凉”，而是介于两者之间的一种状态)”可知，此空应讲述理解的后续变化，D选项“but later shifted to a softened meaning(但之后会转变为一种缓和的含义)”中的but体现转折，讲述从最初理解到后续理解的变化，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“Especially, in communication, ranging from advertising to legal filings.(尤其是在从广告到法律文件的各类沟通场景中)”以及下文列举的广告案例可知，此空应是总述否定词的相关应用特点，G选项“Negation is often used intentionally to mask a clear understanding of a phrase(否定词常常被有意用来模糊对某个短语的明确理解)”提出否定词的使用特点，引出下文的举例论证，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Another case in point is the classic slogan of a British perfume advertisement (另一个典型例子是一则英国香水广告的经典标语)”可知，此空应是该香水广告的标语内容，且结合上文否定词的应用可知，标语应含否定词，A选项“Don’t be yourself(别做你自己)”是含否定词的标语，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分  语言运用（共三节，满分50分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sam Schreim has been his own boss for 20 years.

I was driving my nine-year-old daughter, Emma, to her weekly swimming lesson. Recently, Emma had started seeing me as a true hero who could solve any problem fairly. “You always know what’s right, Dad,” she would say. We were talking about her class when I noticed a crowd up ahead and had to slow down. People were gathered on the street, pointing and laughing. In the middle of it all was a large brown and white cow. It looked completely lost and terrified. Some kids were shouting nearby, which seemed to scare the animal even more. A strong feeling of anger rose inside me. These people were treating the poor creature’s fear as entertainment. “Dad, that cow is scared.” Emma said softly from the back seat. “What would you do?” Her question was serious. She believed I would do the right thing. “Well,” I said, trying to sound confident for her, “I would calm it down and help it find its way home.” I explained that I knew a lot about cows. I spent my childhood on a farm, and now I even worked at a beef processing plant. I was sure my experience would impress Emma. After dropping off a very impressed Emma, I turned my car around. I felt it was my duty to go back and help. When I returned, the scene was worse. I learned from a shop owner that the cow had been wandering for a while, knocking over a fruit stand and causing quite a bit of trouble. I took a slow, careful step towards the animal, speaking in a gentle voice. However, instead of calming down, the cow lowered its head and let out a threatening sound. It stared directly at me, full of hostility. My confidence faded, replaced by a sudden fear. This wasn’t going to be easy at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Just as I was about to turn and run, two police officers arrived on the scene. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After we managed to secure the cow to a tree, we began to discuss what to do with it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just as I was about to turn and run, two police officers arrived on the scene. They stepped out of their patrol car calmly, holding a thick rope in hand. I hurried to share my childhood farm experience with them, and we made a quick plan to cooperate. One officer slowly circled the cow to distract it, keeping his movements gentle to avoid scaring it again. I seized the chance to approach from the side, whispering soft words like I used to do to calm the cows on my old farm. Little by little, the cow’s tense body relaxed, its threatening lowing faded, and it even blinked at me gently. After we managed to secure the cow to a tree, we began to discuss what to do with it. Luckily, a farmer passing by recognized the cow immediately — it was his. He thanked us profusely, explaining that the cow had broken free from the fence early that morning and gone missing. When I picked up Emma after her lesson, I told her every detail of the rescue. Her face lit up with admiration: “Dad, you’re really my hero!” That day, I understood that heroism isn’t about being fearless, but about summoning courage to do what’s right even when scared. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个周六的早晨，作者为了在女儿艾玛面前树立“英雄”形象，决定去帮助一头受惊且迷路的牛。尽管牛表现出敌意让他感到恐惧，但他还是与两名警察合作，成功安抚并控制住了牛，直到农夫赶来将其领回。这次经历让作者明白，英雄主义并非无畏，而是即使害怕也要鼓起勇气去做正确的事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要转身逃跑的时候，两名警察来到了现场”可知，第一段可描写作者与两名警察合作，成功安抚并控制住了牛。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们把奶牛拴在了树上后，就开始商量如何处理它”可知，第二段可描写农夫赶来将牛领回。这次经历让作者明白，英雄主义并非无畏，而是即使害怕也要鼓起勇气去做正确的事。 2.续写线索：警察赶到——成功安抚并控制牛——商量如何处理——农夫赶来——带走牛——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①急忙：hurry to/rush to ②消失：fade/vanish ③私语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①无畏的：fearless/bold/brave ②害怕的：scared/frightened 【点睛】[高分句型1] He thanked us profusely, explaining that the cow had broken free from the fence early that morning and gone missing.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] I seized the chance to approach from the side, whispering soft words like I used to do to calm the cows on my old farm. （运用了现在分词whispering作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前                  试题类型A 怀仁大地高中学校2026-2027学年上学期第二次月考 高三英语 （考试时间：120分钟  试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出符合题意的最佳选项。    A AI — Assisting Campus in China Personalized Creative Video Production Simplification Platforms like Baidu AI allow users to upload photos and generate videos, for instance one themed “Return to Campus”.

It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams. When I was twelve, my parents enrolled me in violin lessons. The instrument felt like a part of me as I practiced scales and simple melodies. My teacher, Mrs. Thompson, praised my progress, and I dreamed of playing in the school orchestra. But as schoolwork piled up and extracurricular activities took up more time, practicing became a chore. I started skipping sessions, telling myself I would return to it later. Soon, the violin was stored away, tucked into the storage room. Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case. Inside, the instrument looked as clean and untouched as the day I had left it. Holding it felt like reuniting with an old friend. I tuned the strings hesitantly, then drew the bow across them. The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again. Months later, I performed at a small community event. Standing on stage, I played a piece I had once struggled with. The audience’s applause was overwhelming, but the real victory was reclaiming a part of myself I had abandoned. Looking back, I realized that dreams that are on the shelf aren’t lost forever. Life may push them away, but they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again. The violin taught me that passion, once sparked, can be revived if we dare to reach for it. The storage room may still hold relics of my past, but the violin is no longer among them. It hangs on my wall, a daily reminder that some things are worth revisiting, no matter how long they’ve been away. 4. What made the author decide to pick up the violin again? A. The praise from Mrs. Thompson. B. The performance at the university concert. C. The encouragement from the audience. D. The storage room that holds his relics. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author’s parents forced him to learn the violin in the beginning. B. Playing the violin was a piece of cake for the author when revisiting it. C. The author was accustomed to putting off extracurricular activities. D. Reclaiming the violin-playing skill took the author much effort. 6. What does the underlined phrase “on the shelf” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. On display. B. In danger. C. Put aside. D. At hand. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Unfinished Symphony. B. The Dusty Storage Room. C. My Successful Performance. D. My abandoned dream. C It seems like everyone is a little stressed out these days — even children in their “carefree” teen years. In fact, the changes that teenagers go through during that time of their life make them especially sensitive to stress. Adolescence (青春期) is one of the most stressful periods of change in life. Adolescents are having rapid physical changes while trying to make out who they are, manage changes in social life with family and friends, and deal with increasing study pressure. With so much happening at once, stress can build quickly from different causes. At the same time, their brains are still developing, especially in areas that help control feelings. This makes everyday challenges feel more stressful. A recent study done by Arizona State University researchers found simple everyday habits, such as taking part in sports and getting quality sleep, can greatly reduce stress and support teenagers’ well-being. Different from one-time traditional surveys, the research used a 30-day diary method to record adolescents’ daily changes in feelings, following the real-time connection between stress, sleep and sports participation (参与). The study shows sleep plays two key roles in reducing stress. Quality sleep ahead of stress acts as preparation, making teens mentally (精神上) calm and focused enough to face daily challenges. Sleep after a stressful day helps them restore mental balance and avoid negative feelings influencing the next day. When it comes to sports, the good lies in positive experiences rather than winning or performance. Positive sports experiences help teenagers build confidence, develop a sense of achievement and strengthen social connections. Researchers remind parents and teachers that teenage stress comes and goes every day. A teenager who generally seems fine may suffer from heavy stress on a certain day. Therefore, adults should pay attention to teenagers’ daily mental changes and encourage them to keep small, healthy daily habits. 8. Why are teenagers more likely to feel stressed? A. They are taking on more duties. B. They are too focused on their looks. C. They are experiencing many changes. D. They are unprepared for social competition. 9. What is the advantage of the 30-day diary method over traditional surveys? A. It needs fewer researchers. B. It records daily feelings. C. It costs much less money. D. It lasts for a shorter time. 10. Why does playing sports benefit teenagers? A. It builds confidence and social ties. B. It replaces the need for more sleep. C. It gives them chances of winning. D. It removes all daily study pressure. 11. What does the text focus on? A. How to help teenagers reduce daily stress. B. What to expect from students in high school. C. A new study on adolescent brain development. D. The importance of parents’ care for teenagers. D Giving students a chance to write about their passions can help them engage (参与) not only in writing but also in what they’re learning. Research suggests when given the opportunity to write more about subjects that interest them, students tend to spend more time in the process. To spend their writing time on a subject that stimulates their interests can also help students build important skills they need in their education. Some research points out a deep knowledge of a subject is essential before students can analyze, evaluate or synthesize. A student passionate (热情的) about a topic likely knows a great deal about the subject, and that is a key first step before making connections with and critically analyzing a subject, and applying those skills to other subjects, as well. Curriculum designers want to look at using journal writing as one method of involving students in topics they care about or have a passion to explore. A 2006 paper found journal assignments helped students figure out what they were learning, rather than just memorize a topic, which promoted more critical thinking skills. Poetry festivals, held by the Sharon Public Schools in Massachusetts, or spoken word assignments, used by teachers at schools including the Academy of American Studies in New York City, are other ways educators can help direct students and their passions into writing. Allowing students to choose their writing topics may not only help bring about more assignments full of passion, but also spark the development of key learning skills. 12. What makes students spend more time writing? A. The interest. B. The knowledge. C. The writing skill. D. The analysis. 13. Why do curriculum designers use journal assignments? A. To help students do their homework. B. To help students understand what they are learning. C. To help students get a good score. D. To help students read the journals. 14. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Giving students a chance to learn special subjects. B. Writing subjects students love encourages learning. C. Journal writing help develop students’ speaking skill. D. Allowing students to choose their own pace of study. 15. In which column of a newspaper does the text most probably appear? A. Science. B. Geography. C. Health. D. Education. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we’re told “This coffee is hot” at our local cafe, the message is clear. ____16____ Does that mean it’s cold? Or just warm? A team of scientists conducted experiments to identify how we process phrases that include negation (i.e., “not”). In the experiments, participants read — on a computer monitor — adjective phrases with and without negation (e.g., “really not good” and “really really good”) and rated their meaning on a scale from 1 (“really really bad”) to 10 (“really really good”) using a mouse. This scale was designed, in part, to determine if participants interpreted phrases with negation (否定) as the opposite of those without negation. In other words, did they interpret “really not good” as “bad”? ____17____ Here, the researchers found that participants took longer to interpret phrases with negation than they did phrases without negation — indicating, not surprisingly given the greater complexity, that negation slows down our processing of meaning. In addition, drawing from how the participants moved their mouse, negated phrases were first interpreted as affirmative (i.e., “not hot” was initially interpreted as closer to “hot” than to “cold”), ____18____, suggesting that, for instance, “not hot” is not interpreted as either “hot” or “cold”, but as something between “hot” and “cold”. That is to say, negation merely reduces the temperature of our coffee and does not make it “cold”. “This research highlights the complexity that goes into language comprehension, showing that this process involves more than just processing individual word meanings,” observes Arianna Zuanazzi, lead author of the study. ____19____. Especially, in communication, ranging from advertising to legal filings. As can be seen in a smoking cessation ad — “If people keep telling you to quit smoking cigarettes, don’t listen — they’re probably trying to trick you into living.” Another case in point is the classic slogan of a British perfume advertisement — “ ____20____” In addition, large language models in AI tools have difficulty interpreting passages containing negation. The researchers say that their results show how humans process such phrases while also potentially pointing to ways to understand and improve AI functionality. A. Don’t be yourself. B. The answer is absolutely no. C. Our perfume suits you perfectly. D. but later shifted to a softened meaning E. But how do we interpret “It is not hot”? F. Or, instead, understand it as something more measured? G.

I was driving my nine-year-old daughter, Emma, to her weekly swimming lesson. Recently, Emma had started seeing me as a true hero who could solve any problem fairly. “You always know what’s right, Dad,” she would say. We were talking about her class when I noticed a crowd up ahead and had to slow down. People were gathered on the street, pointing and laughing. In the middle of it all was a large brown and white cow. It looked completely lost and terrified. Some kids were shouting nearby, which seemed to scare the animal even more. A strong feeling of anger rose inside me. These people were treating the poor creature’s fear as entertainment. “Dad, that cow is scared.” Emma said softly from the back seat. “What would you do?” Her question was serious. She believed I would do the right thing. “Well,” I said, trying to sound confident for her, “I would calm it down and help it find its way home.” I explained that I knew a lot about cows. I spent my childhood on a farm, and now I even worked at a beef processing plant. I was sure my experience would impress Emma. After dropping off a very impressed Emma, I turned my car around. I felt it was my duty to go back and help. When I returned, the scene was worse. I learned from a shop owner that the cow had been wandering for a while, knocking over a fruit stand and causing quite a bit of trouble. I took a slow, careful step towards the animal, speaking in a gentle voice. However, instead of calming down, the cow lowered its head and let out a threatening sound. It stared directly at me, full of hostility. My confidence faded, replaced by a sudden fear. This wasn’t going to be easy at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Just as I was about to turn and run, two police officers arrived on the scene. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After we managed to secure the cow to a tree, we began to discuss what to do with it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
