I tried storybooks, card games and even a few magic tricks I had ____22____ the night before. Nothing ____23____. He just lay there in ____24____, saying nothing. Then one afternoon, having nothing else left to try, I put on a curly wig and a red nose, and began telling the silliest jokes I could ____25____. My face burned with ____26____ and not a single child ____27____. Just as I was about to give up, Leo ____28____ a smile — and a moment later he was laughing with all his heart.

Events for All The Fun Sports Meet will take place on the school field from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm on Friday, 28 September. Unlike the serious tournament held in the summer term, this event focuses on fun rather than medals. There will be a three-legged race, a water-balloon throw and a tug-of-war between classes. Every student is expected to take part in at least one event, and teachers will be assigned to judge each game. Volunteers Needed We are also looking for 30 volunteers to help out on the day. Duties include guiding players to the right spot, handing out water and keeping score. No previous experience is required, and a short training meeting will be held in the gym at 5:00 pm on 25 September. Volunteers will receive a badge and a T-shirt. Sign Up Teams should hand in their forms to the Students’ Union office before 20 September. Volunteers can sign up online through the school website. For further information, contact Li Hua at sportsmeet@school.com. A Small Reminder Sports day is about taking part, not just winning.

From the age of ten he had trained on the muddy track behind his village school, dreaming of the day he would stand on the podium at a national tournament. By seventeen he had won three gold medals in a row, and his coach had begun to talk about the national team. Then, in the winter of his last year at school, his knee gave way during training. The doctor’s words were brief: an operation was necessary, and after the surgery there was no guarantee that he would ever run at full speed again. For weeks Chen Yu lay in a hospital bed, unable to move his leg without pain. He was upset, and for the first time he understood what it meant to lose the thing that mattered most. His teammates visited, but their cheerful remarks only made him feel worse. What he needed was not comfort but a reason to carry on. That reason came from an unexpected aspect. One afternoon a volunteer clown visited the children’s hospital where Chen Yu was recovering. Wearing a curly wig and a red nose, he told the silliest jokes Chen Yu had ever heard. Nobody laughed at first; then, to his own surprise, Chen Yu found himself smiling. It was a small moment, but it changed something in him. If a stranger could make him laugh on his darkest day, he thought, then there was still something left to fight for. Recovery was slow and often painful. Chen Yu had to learn to walk again before he could run a single step. There were days when he wanted to give up, but he kept going. Eighteen months later he was back on the track. He did not win that race, and he never made the national team. But as he crossed the line, he knew his efforts had paid off: he had found something stronger than speed — the nerve to keep going when everything seemed lost. 40. What was Chen Yu’s own dream before the accident? A. To become a volunteer clown.   B. To win a medal at a national tournament. C. To be chosen for the national team.   D. To build a new track for his village school. 41. What did the doctor mean by saying there was “no guarantee”? A. The operation would cost too much.   B. He might never fully recover his speed. C. He would have to change to another sport.   D. The surgery would have to be put off. 42. Why did his teammates’ visits make him feel worse? A. They expected him to return too soon.   B. They gave comfort instead of a reason to carry on. C. They talked only about their own success.   D. They seldom came to see him. 43. What changed Chen Yu’s attitude towards his situation? A. The clown’s visit that made him laugh.   B. His coach’s encouraging words. C. The success of the operation.   D. A letter from his teammates. 44. What lesson can we learn from Chen Yu’s story? A. Speed is the most important quality in sport.  B. Success means standing on the podium at last. C. What really matters is the courage to keep going.  D. An injury usually puts an end to an athlete’s career. C We all know that laughter feels good. But scientists have begun to ask a more serious question: is laughter actually good for us? Researchers who study emotion have found that laughter is far more than a reaction to a joke. When we laugh, the body produces chemicals that help reduce pain and lower pressure. In one experiment, patients who watched a funny film reported less discomfort than those who did not, even though their treatment was exactly the same. Laughter, it seems, can act like a mild medicine. Laughter also works on the mind. A shared joke creates a sense of connection between people, and this is why humour matters so much in hospitals, schools and offices. A hospital clown who visits children in pain is not simply there to amuse them; the jokes help the young patients forget their fear for a moment and face the day with a more positive attitude. In this sense, humour is an essential social skill, not just a pleasant extra. Interestingly, the benefits do not depend on the quality of the joke. Even forced laughter appears to improve mood. What matters is the act itself and the company it is shared with. Laughter is also catching: hearing someone else laugh makes us far more likely to laugh too, which explains why comedy clubs seat their audience close together. None of this means that humour can replace real treatment. Doctors are careful to point out that laughter is not a cure, and no responsible researcher would claim that a few jokes can deal with a serious disease. But as more evidence is collected, one thing becomes clear: humour deserves a more serious place in our lives than we usually give it. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Laughter is the best medicine for serious diseases. B. Scientists have found that laughter benefits health. C. Comedy clubs are the best places to improve mood. D. Hospital clowns know better than doctors how to treat pain. 46. The experiment mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows that laughter can ________. A. take the place of medical treatment  B. help reduce pain C. cure serious diseases   D. shorten the time of treatment 47. Why is the hospital clown mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show that humour helps patients stay positive.  B. To prove that clowns are better than doctors. C. To encourage readers to work as volunteers.  D. To compare hospitals with schools and offices. 48. What does the underlined word “catching” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy to control.    B. Spreading quickly to others. C. Difficult to understand.    D. Harmful to one’s health. 49. What is the doctors’ attitude towards humour as a treatment? A. They believe it can cure most diseases.  B. They warn that it cannot replace real treatment. C. They refuse to accept any research on it.  D. They think it works better than medicine. D For as long as organised sport has existed, there has been an argument about what it is really for. Is the point to win, or is it to take part? On the surface the question sounds simple, yet the answer shapes everything: how children are trained, how money is spent, and how athletes are treated when they fail. Those who hold that winning is everything have a strong case. Competition, they argue, is what pushes athletes to go beyond what they thought possible. Without the desire to defeat an opponent, no one would sharpen their skills for years or seize the chance when it finally comes. Medals are proof that effort has paid off, and the pursuit of victory has produced some of the most remarkable moments in human history. Yet there is another way of looking at it. If the result is all that matters, then sport becomes a factory rather than a school. Young players are pushed to specialise before they are old enough to choose, and those who do not succeed are quietly dropped. Worse still, the pressure to win can turn honest players into people who cheat. The athlete who takes drugs to improve performance is not really defeating an opponent; he is destroying the very contest that gives his victory meaning. A race won by cheating is not a race at all. The trouble with the “winning is everything” view is that it mistakes the scoreboard for the purpose. Sport is a form of play, and play has rules precisely because the rules, not the result, are what make the game worth playing. A football match decided by cheating is not simply unfair — it stops being football. In the same way, an athlete who competes with courage but finishes last has not failed at sport. He has done the thing that sport asks of him: to find out, honestly, how good he is. This is not to say that the desire to win should be discouraged. The two views are not opposites. What needs to change is the order in which we place them: character first, medals second. When that order is kept, victory is worth celebrating; when it is overturned, even a gold medal is a kind of defeat. 50. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of organised sport.  B. The true purpose of sport. C. How young athletes should be trained.  D. Why athletes cheat in competitions. 51. According to Paragraph 2, supporters of “winning is everything” believe competition ________ A. pushes athletes beyond their limits  B. helps young players choose a suitable sport C. teaches children to follow the rules  D. removes the pressure to succeed 52. In Paragraph 3, what does the author compare sport to? A. A school that builds character.  B. A factory that only cares about results. C. A battle against strong opponents.  D. A game played by young children. 53. What does the author think of an athlete who cheats? A. He is clever enough to win.  B. He destroys the meaning of the contest. C. He proves that winning matters most.  D. He sets a bad example but harms nobody. 54. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that _________ A. honest effort matters more than coming first  B. the athlete has won the respect of others C. the athlete should try again next time  D. finishing last is acceptable if one is young 55. What is the author’s attitude towards the desire to win? A. It should be removed from sport altogether.  B. It is the only true purpose of sport. C. It is valuable as long as character comes first.  D. It does more harm than good to young players. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Ellen posted her first manuscript to a publishing company at nineteen, she was certain that success would come overnight. It did not. Over the next six years, she received more than thirty letters of rejection. Some were short and cold; others were full of criticism that she found painful to read. For months at a time Ellen was too upset to write a single line, and more than once she considered throwing it away. What kept her going was not talent or luck, but a remark her grandmother had once made: “A writer is someone who keeps writing when nobody is reading.” Ellen decided to treat every rejection as part of the job rather than as a judgment on her ability. She wrote for two hours every morning before work, rewrote her novel four times, and never showed anyone the pages until she herself was satisfied with them. Then, in the spring of her twenty-fifth year, one company finally agreed to publish the novel. It was not an overnight best-seller, but the reviews were kind, and the letters from readers were warmer still. Her success did not come overnight; it was the result of six years of quiet, unseen effort. “The outcome surprised me most,” Ellen said later. “I had expected to feel delighted, but what I actually felt was quieter than that — the sense that the struggle had been worthwhile.” Today Ellen is often asked whether she would advise young writers to persevere. Her answer never changes. “There is no guarantee that hard work will bring you fame,” she says. “But of one thing I am certain: if you stop, nothing will happen at all.” 56. What happened to Ellen’s first manuscript before it was finally published? (no more than 12 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 57. How did Ellen deal with each rejection? (no more than 10 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (no more than 5 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 59. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Six years of unnoticed, painstaking work, rather than a sudden lucky break, was what lay behind her eventually becoming a published author. _________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you think perseverance is the most important quality for success? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 68. 第二节：书面表达 (满分25分) 61. 假设你是李津，你的英国笔友Chris在最近一次来信中说，他在一场重要比赛中发挥失常，情绪低落，甚至产生了放弃自己热爱的运动的念头。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1.表达理解与安慰； 2.分享一次你或你了解的人面对挫折的经历及做法； 3.鼓励他坚持下去，并谈谈你对“更快、更高、更强”体育精神的理解。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I was sorry to learn that... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北辰区华辰高中2026-2027 （一） 高二年级 第一次英语学习成果阶段性检测 听力部分 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 听下面五段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

I’ve never experienced anything like it — and those dumplings were out of this world! —________. You’re part of the family now, so come again any time. A. With pleasure  B. It’s my pleasure  C. Never mind  D. That’s right 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——非常感谢你邀请我参加你们家的春节团圆饭。我从来没有体验过这样的经历，那些饺子简直太棒了！ ——不客气。你现在就是家人了，随时再来。 A. With pleasure乐意效劳（用于答应别人请求）；B. It’s my pleasure不客气（回应感谢）；C. Never mind没关系；D. That’s right没错。根据前文“Thank you so much”可知，此处用来回应感谢，It’s my pleasure符合句意。 2. The comedian’s opening joke failed to ________ the audience — not even a smile appeared on their faces. A. impress  B. relax  C. amuse  D. persuade 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：喜剧演员开场的笑话没能逗乐观众——他们脸上甚至没有出现一丝笑容。A. impress使留下深刻印象；B. relax使放松；C. amuse使开心，逗乐；D. persuade说服。根据破折号后的“not even a smile appeared on their faces”可知，笑话没能使观众发笑。 3. ________ breaks the traffic rules should be fined. A. Whoever  B. Who  C. No matter who  D. Anyone 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论谁违反交通规则都应该被罚款。空处引导主语从句，且引导词在从句中作主语，表示“无论谁”，Whoever相当于“anyone who ...”。No matter who只能引导让步状语从句，不能引导名词性从句。 4. There is still some doubt ________ the young writer’s novel turned down by twelve publishers, will ever get into print. A. whether  B. that  C. what  D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于这位曾被十二家出版社拒绝过的年轻作家的小说是否能出版，目前仍存在疑问。此处的空格引导的是同位语从句，用来解释名词doubt的具体内容。在表示“怀疑”（doubt）的名词后，若主句为肯定句，从句表示不确定性，通常使用whether引导。 5. ________ annoyed his teammates was not his remarks but the way ________ he told them off in front of the whole audience. A. What, that  B. What, which  C. Which, in that  D. What, where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：让他的队友恼火的不是他说的话，而是他当着所有观众斥责他们的方式。第一空为主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“……的事”，用连接代词What；第二空为定语从句，先行词是the way，关系词可用that或in which或不填。故选What, that。 6. The Chinese team collected five gold medals at the tournament, three of ________ came from the track events. A. them  B. that  C. which  D. whom 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国队在锦标赛上获得了五枚金牌，其中三枚来自田径项目。此处为介词+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句。先行词为five gold medals，指代事物，在从句中作介词of的宾语，应用关系代词which。 7. So ________ in his pursuit of perfection was the young gymnast that he kept practising long after the others had left, ________ impressed the coach most. A. absorbing; which  B. absorbed; who  C. absorbed; which  D. absorbing; who 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个年轻体操运动员如此专注于追求完美，以至于在其他人离开很久之后他还坚持训练，这一点让教练印象最为深刻。分析句子结构可知，第一空考查形容词化的过去分词，be absorbed in意为“专注于”，此处So置于句首引起倒装，还原为the young gymnast was so absorbed in...，所以填absorbed；第二空考查非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整件事，用关系代词which引导，who指代人，不符合。 8. The only one of the young writers who ________ been invited to the award ceremony ________ the author whose first novel was rejected thirteen times before it came out. A. have; are  B. has; is  C. have; is  D. has; are 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：被邀请参加颁奖典礼的年轻作家中唯一的一位，就是那位第一部小说在出版前被拒绝了十三次的作者。在“the only one of + 复数名词 + 定语从句”结构中，定语从句的先行词是the only one，因此定语从句的谓语动词需用单数形式has；同时，整个句子的主语也是The only one，主句的谓语动词同样需用单数形式is。 9. It was in the small café ________ the struggling writer used to sit for hours ________ she finally completed her first manuscript. A. that; where  B. where; that  C. which; that  D. where; which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：正是在那位苦苦挣扎的作家常常坐上好几个小时的小咖啡馆里，她终于完成了自己的第一部手稿。第一空，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the small café，表示地点，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where；第二空，本句是强调句型It was…that…，被强调部分是地点状语in the small café，所以空处应使用that。 10. The stand-up comedian ________ his act in small clubs for years before a short video of his performance went viral online. A. had been perfecting  B. has been perfecting  C. has perfected  D. would perfect 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位单口喜剧演员在小俱乐部里不断完善他的表演多年，之后他的一段表演短视频在网上走红。根据句中的时间状语从句“before a short video of his performance went viral online”可知，从句谓语动词went为一般过去时。主句动作“完善表演”发生在从句动作“走红”之前，即“过去的过去”，且带有时间状语for years，强调动作在过去某一时间点之前一直持续进行，因此主句应使用过去完成进行时（had been doing）。 11. It was her ________ in the face of repeated rejections that finally paid off when the novel became an overnight best-seller. A. persistence  B. patience  C. preference  D. performance 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：正是她面对反复拒绝时的坚持不懈最终得到了回报，这部小说一夜之间成为了畅销书。A. persistence坚持不懈；B. patience耐心；C. preference偏好；D. performance表现。根据句意可知，面对反复的拒绝，最终取得成功是因为她的坚持不懈。 12. His opening joke fell flat — nobody even cracked a smile. ________, he carried on with his act as if nothing had happened, which earned him the audience’s respect. A. Therefore  B. Moreover  C. Nevertheless  D. Meanwhile 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他开场的笑话没有达到预期效果——甚至没有人笑一下。然而，他继续他的表演，就好像什么都没发生过一样，这赢得了观众的尊重。A. Therefore因此；B. Moreover此外；C. Nevertheless然而；D. Meanwhile同时。前句提到笑话没有效果，后句提到他像没发生过一样继续表演，前后句之间存在转折关系。 13. The gymnast’s performance was remarkable ________ the fact that she had been injured only a month before the championship. A. in view of  B. on account of  C. with regard to  D. in spite of 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位体操运动员的表现非常出色，尽管她在锦标赛前仅仅一个月受了伤。A. in view of鉴于；B. on account of由于；C. with regard to关于；D. in spite of尽管。空前提到该运动员“表现出色”，空后提到她“赛前一个月受伤”，前后句意构成了让步转折关系，应用表示“尽管”的介词短语。 14. The famous publishing house ________ the manuscript, saying it was too experimental for the market at the time. A. turned away  B. turned down  C. turned over  D. turned in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家著名的出版社拒绝了这份手稿，说它对当时的市场来说太具实验性了。A. turned away把……打发走；B. turned down拒绝；C. turned over翻转；D. turned in上交。根据空后“saying it was too experimental for the market at the time”可知，出版社拒绝了手稿。 15. —I wonder if I could borrow your notes from the science lecture — I missed it while I was away at the sports meet. —________, but do return them before Friday’s quiz. A. Go ahead  B. Help yourself  C. It’s up to you  D. That’s settled 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我想知道是否能借用你的科学讲座笔记——我去参加运动会时错过了。——拿去吧，但务必在周五的测验前还给我。A. Go ahead表示同意请求；B. Help yourself请自便；C. It’s up to you由你决定；D. That's settled那就这么定了。根据but do return them before Friday’s quiz.可知，回答同意请求通常用Go ahead。 三、完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Laughter, I used to think, was just something that happened when you heard a good joke.

From the age of ten he had trained on the muddy track behind his village school, dreaming of the day he would stand on the podium at a national tournament. By seventeen he had won three gold medals in a row, and his coach had begun to talk about the national team. Then, in the winter of his last year at school, his knee gave way during training. The doctor’s words were brief: an operation was necessary, and after the surgery there was no guarantee that he would ever run at full speed again. For weeks Chen Yu lay in a hospital bed, unable to move his leg without pain. He was upset, and for the first time he understood what it meant to lose the thing that mattered most. His teammates visited, but their cheerful remarks only made him feel worse. What he needed was not comfort but a reason to carry on. That reason came from an unexpected aspect. One afternoon a volunteer clown visited the children’s hospital where Chen Yu was recovering. Wearing a curly wig and a red nose, he told the silliest jokes Chen Yu had ever heard. Nobody laughed at first; then, to his own surprise, Chen Yu found himself smiling. It was a small moment, but it changed something in him. If a stranger could make him laugh on his darkest day, he thought, then there was still something left to fight for. Recovery was slow and often painful. Chen Yu had to learn to walk again before he could run a single step. There were days when he wanted to give up, but he kept going. Eighteen months later he was back on the track. He did not win that race, and he never made the national team. But as he crossed the line, he knew his efforts had paid off: he had found something stronger than speed — the nerve to keep going when everything seemed lost. 40. What was Chen Yu’s own dream before the accident? A. To become a volunteer clown.   B. To win a medal at a national tournament. C. To be chosen for the national team.   D. To build a new track for his village school. 41. What did the doctor mean by saying there was “no guarantee”? A. The operation would cost too much.   B. He might never fully recover his speed. C. He would have to change to another sport.   D. The surgery would have to be put off. 42. Why did his teammates’ visits make him feel worse? A. They expected him to return too soon.   B. They gave comfort instead of a reason to carry on. C. They talked only about their own success.   D. They seldom came to see him. 43. What changed Chen Yu’s attitude towards his situation? A. The clown’s visit that made him laugh.   B. His coach’s encouraging words. C. The success of the operation.   D. A letter from his teammates. 44. What lesson can we learn from Chen Yu’s story? A. Speed is the most important quality in sport.  B. Success means standing on the podium at last. C. What really matters is the courage to keep going.  D. An injury usually puts an end to an athlete’s career. 【答案】40. B 41. B 42. B 43. A 44. C 【解析】 【导语】文章叙述了运动员陈宇因膝盖受伤遭遇重创，小丑的来访鼓舞了他，他坚持康复，领悟到坚持的勇气比速度更可贵。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“From the age of ten he had trained on the muddy track behind his village school, dreaming of the day he would stand on the podium at a national tournament.(从十岁起，他就在村学校后面泥泞的跑道上训练，梦想着有一天能站在全国赛事的领奖台上。)”可知，陈宇事故前的梦想是在全国赛事中获奖。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The doctor’s words were brief: an operation was necessary, and after the surgery there was no guarantee that he would ever run at full speed again.(医生的话很简短：必须做手术，而且手术后不能保证他能再全速奔跑。)”可知，“no guarantee”指代后文同位语的内容，即指他或许再也无法恢复原来的速度。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His teammates visited, but their cheerful remarks only made him feel worse. What he needed was not comfort but a reason to carry on.(队友们来看望他，但他们欢快的话语只让他心情更差。他需要的不是安慰，而是坚持下去的理由。)”可知，队友只给予安慰，没有给他坚持下去的理由，所以他感觉更难受。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One afternoon a volunteer clown visited the children’s hospital where Chen Yu was recovering. Wearing a curly wig and a red nose, he told the silliest jokes Chen Yu had ever heard. Nobody laughed at first; then, to his own surprise, Chen Yu found himself smiling.(一天下午，一名志愿小丑来到陈宇休养的儿童医院。他戴着卷曲假发和红鼻子，讲着陈宇听过最滑稽的笑话。一开始没人笑，随后令陈宇自己惊讶的是，他笑了。)”可知，小丑的来访让他笑了，改变了他对现状的态度。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“But as he crossed the line, he knew his efforts had paid off: he had found something stronger than speed — the nerve to keep going when everything seemed lost.(但当他冲过终点线时，他知道自己的努力没有白费：他找到了比速度更强大的东西——在一切看似无望时继续前行的勇气。)”可知，文章讲述运动员陈宇因膝盖受伤遭遇重创，小丑的来访鼓舞了他，他坚持康复，领悟到坚持的勇气比速度更可贵。所以这个故事告诉我们真正重要的是坚持下去的勇气。 C We all know that laughter feels good. But scientists have begun to ask a more serious question: is laughter actually good for us? Researchers who study emotion have found that laughter is far more than a reaction to a joke. When we laugh, the body produces chemicals that help reduce pain and lower pressure. In one experiment, patients who watched a funny film reported less discomfort than those who did not, even though their treatment was exactly the same. Laughter, it seems, can act like a mild medicine. Laughter also works on the mind. A shared joke creates a sense of connection between people, and this is why humour matters so much in hospitals, schools and offices. A hospital clown who visits children in pain is not simply there to amuse them; the jokes help the young patients forget their fear for a moment and face the day with a more positive attitude. In this sense, humour is an essential social skill, not just a pleasant extra. Interestingly, the benefits do not depend on the quality of the joke. Even forced laughter appears to improve mood. What matters is the act itself and the company it is shared with. Laughter is also catching: hearing someone else laugh makes us far more likely to laugh too, which explains why comedy clubs seat their audience close together. None of this means that humour can replace real treatment. Doctors are careful to point out that laughter is not a cure, and no responsible researcher would claim that a few jokes can deal with a serious disease. But as more evidence is collected, one thing becomes clear: humour deserves a more serious place in our lives than we usually give it. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Laughter is the best medicine for serious diseases. B. Scientists have found that laughter benefits health. C. Comedy clubs are the best places to improve mood. D. Hospital clowns know better than doctors how to treat pain. 46. The experiment mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows that laughter can ________. A. take the place of medical treatment  B. help reduce pain C. cure serious diseases   D. shorten the time of treatment 47. Why is the hospital clown mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show that humour helps patients stay positive.  B. To prove that clowns are better than doctors. C. To encourage readers to work as volunteers.  D. To compare hospitals with schools and offices. 48. What does the underlined word “catching” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy to control.    B. Spreading quickly to others. C. Difficult to understand.    D. Harmful to one’s health. 49. What is the doctors’ attitude towards humour as a treatment? A. They believe it can cure most diseases.  B. They warn that it cannot replace real treatment. C. They refuse to accept any research on it.  D. They think it works better than medicine. 【答案】45. B 46. B 47. A 48. B 49. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍笑声对身心有多方面益处，但它不能替代正规治疗。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“But scientists have begun to ask a more serious question: is laughter actually good for us?(但是科学家已经开始提出一个更严肃的问题：笑真的对我们有益吗？)”以及后文介绍笑对身体、心理的好处可知，文章主要说明科学家发现笑对健康有益。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we laugh, the body produces chemicals that help reduce pain and lower pressure. In one experiment, patients who watched a funny film reported less discomfort than those who did not, even though their treatment was exactly the same. Laughter, it seems, can act like a mild medicine.(当我们笑的时候，身体会产生有助于减轻疼痛、缓解压力的化学物质。在一项实验中，观看喜剧影片的患者反馈不适感更轻，而另一组没有观看的患者则不适感更强，尽管他们接受的治疗完全相同。看来，笑可以起到温和药物一般的作用。)”可知，这个实验表明笑有助于减轻疼痛。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A hospital clown who visits children in pain is not simply there to amuse them; the jokes help the young patients forget their fear for a moment and face the day with a more positive attitude.(去看望病痛中的孩子的医院小丑，并不只是为了逗他们开心。这些笑话帮助小患者暂时忘掉恐惧，以更积极的心态面对每一天。)”可知，文中提到医院小丑是为了说明幽默能帮助病人保持积极心态。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“hearing someone else laugh makes us far more likely to laugh too, which explains why comedy clubs seat their audience close together.(听到别人笑，我们也更有可能跟着笑，这就解释了为什么喜剧俱乐部让观众坐得很近。)”可知，笑容易传染由此可知，catching此处意为“容易向他人传播”。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“None of this means that humour can replace real treatment. Doctors are careful to point out that laughter is not a cure.(这并不意味着幽默可以替代真正的治疗。医生谨慎地指出笑并不是一种疗法。)”可知，医生提醒幽默不能替代正规治疗。 D For as long as organised sport has existed, there has been an argument about what it is really for. Is the point to win, or is it to take part? On the surface the question sounds simple, yet the answer shapes everything: how children are trained, how money is spent, and how athletes are treated when they fail. Those who hold that winning is everything have a strong case. Competition, they argue, is what pushes athletes to go beyond what they thought possible. Without the desire to defeat an opponent, no one would sharpen their skills for years or seize the chance when it finally comes. Medals are proof that effort has paid off, and the pursuit of victory has produced some of the most remarkable moments in human history. Yet there is another way of looking at it. If the result is all that matters, then sport becomes a factory rather than a school. Young players are pushed to specialise before they are old enough to choose, and those who do not succeed are quietly dropped. Worse still, the pressure to win can turn honest players into people who cheat. The athlete who takes drugs to improve performance is not really defeating an opponent; he is destroying the very contest that gives his victory meaning. A race won by cheating is not a race at all. The trouble with the “winning is everything” view is that it mistakes the scoreboard for the purpose. Sport is a form of play, and play has rules precisely because the rules, not the result, are what make the game worth playing. A football match decided by cheating is not simply unfair — it stops being football. In the same way, an athlete who competes with courage but finishes last has not failed at sport. He has done the thing that sport asks of him: to find out, honestly, how good he is. This is not to say that the desire to win should be discouraged. The two views are not opposites. What needs to change is the order in which we place them: character first, medals second.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨体育的真正目的，反对唯胜负论，主张品格优先于奖牌，诚实努力比比赛结果更重要。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“For as long as organised sport has existed, there has been an argument about what it is really for.(自从有组织的体育运动存在以来，人们一直争论它真正的目的是什么。)”可知，文章围绕体育运动的真正目的展开讨论。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Those who hold that winning is everything have a strong case. Competition, they argue, is what pushes athletes to go beyond what they thought possible.(那些认为胜利就是一切的人不无道理。他们提出，正是竞争推动运动员突破自我，做到原本自认无法企及的事。)”可知，持“赢就是一切”观点的人认为竞争促使运动员突破极限。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If the result is all that matters, then sport becomes a factory rather than a school.(如果结果就是一切，那么体育就变成一座工厂，而不是一所学校。)”可知，作者把体育比作只看重结果的工厂。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The athlete who takes drugs to improve performance is not really defeating an opponent; he is destroying the very contest that gives his victory meaning.(靠服用药物提升成绩的运动员并不是真正战胜对手；他正在毁掉赋予胜利意义的这场比赛本身。)”可知，作者认为作弊的运动员毁掉了比赛的意义。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the same way, an athlete who competes with courage but finishes last has not failed at sport. He has done the thing that sport asks of him: to find out, honestly, how good he is.(同样，一个勇敢参赛却最后一名的运动员并没有在体育上失败。他完成了体育对他的要求：诚实地认清自己的实力。)”可知，“He has done the thing that sport asks of him: to find out, honestly, how good he is”这句话表明诚实的努力比夺得第一名更重要。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is not to say that the desire to win should be discouraged. The two views are not opposites. What needs to change is the order in which we place them: character first, medals second.(这并不是说要打消获胜的渴望。这两种观点并不对立。我们需要改变的是二者的主次顺序：品格第一，奖牌第二。)”可知，作者认为只要把品格放在首位，想要获胜的渴望是有价值的。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题，共35分。 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Ellen posted her first manuscript to a publishing company at nineteen, she was certain that success would come overnight. It did not. Over the next six years, she received more than thirty letters of rejection. Some were short and cold; others were full of criticism that she found painful to read. For months at a time Ellen was too upset to write a single line, and more than once she considered throwing it away. What kept her going was not talent or luck, but a remark her grandmother had once made: “A writer is someone who keeps writing when nobody is reading.” Ellen decided to treat every rejection as part of the job rather than as a judgment on her ability. She wrote for two hours every morning before work, rewrote her novel four times, and never showed anyone the pages until she herself was satisfied with them. Then, in the spring of her twenty-fifth year, one company finally agreed to publish the novel. It was not an overnight best-seller, but the reviews were kind, and the letters from readers were warmer still. Her success did not come overnight; it was the result of six years of quiet, unseen effort. “The outcome surprised me most,” Ellen said later. “I had expected to feel delighted, but what I actually felt was quieter than that — the sense that the struggle had been worthwhile.” Today Ellen is often asked whether she would advise young writers to persevere. Her answer never changes. “There is no guarantee that hard work will bring you fame,” she says. “But of one thing I am certain: if you stop, nothing will happen at all.” 56. What happened to Ellen’s first manuscript before it was finally published? (no more than 12 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 57. How did Ellen deal with each rejection? (no more than 10 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (no more than 5 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 59. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Six years of unnoticed, painstaking work, rather than a sudden lucky break, was what lay behind her eventually becoming a published author. _________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you think perseverance is the most important quality for success? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. It was rejected over thirty times. 57. She treated it as part of the job. 58. Her first manuscript. 59. Her success did not come overnight; it was the result of six years of quiet, unseen effort. 60. Yes. Perseverance helps us stick to goals and overcome difficulties. Without it, we can hardly make progress.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了Ellen十九岁投稿稿件，历经六年多次退稿仍坚持写作，二十五岁作品终于出版，她用自身经历鼓励年轻创作者坚持下去。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据原文第一段“Over the next six years, she received more than thirty letters of rejection.(在接下来的六年里，她收到了三十多封退稿信。)”可知，她的稿件在最终出版前收到了三十多封退稿信，即这份手稿被退回三十多次。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据原文第二段“Ellen decided to treat every rejection as part of the job rather than as a judgment on her ability.(Ellen决定把每一次退稿看作工作的一部分，而不是对自己能力的评判。)”可知，她把每一次退稿当成工作的一部分。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据原文第一段“When Ellen posted her first manuscript to a publishing company at nineteen, she was certain that success would come overnight. It did not.(Ellen十九岁时把第一份稿件寄给出版社，她确信成功会立刻到来。但这件事并没有发生。)”及“For months at a time Ellen was too upset to write a single line, and more than once she considered throwing it away.(Ellen一连好几个月难过到写不出一行字，不止一次想过扔掉它。)”结合上文她的第一份手稿一直被退回的背景可知，此处it指代她的第一份手稿。 【59题详解】 考查推理判断。所给句子含义：她最终能够出书，背后是六年默默无闻的艰辛付出，而非突如其来的好运。原文第三段“Her success did not come overnight; it was the result of six years of quiet, unseen effort.(她的成功并非一蹴而就，而是六年默默、不为人知的努力的结果。)”和题干句子表意一致，可以被替换。 【60题详解】 开放性题目。题干问：你认为毅力是成功最重要的品质吗？说明理由。答案不唯一，言之有理、控制词数即可。结合全文 Ellen凭借坚持不懈，熬过一次次退稿、最终出版小说的故事，可回答：是的。毅力帮助我们坚守目标、战胜困难，没有它我们很难取得进步。 68. 第二节：书面表达 (满分25分) 61. 假设你是李津，你的英国笔友Chris在最近一次来信中说，他在一场重要比赛中发挥失常，情绪低落，甚至产生了放弃自己热爱的运动的念头。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1.表达理解与安慰； 2.分享一次你或你了解的人面对挫折的经历及做法； 3.鼓励他坚持下去，并谈谈你对“更快、更高、更强”体育精神的理解。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I was sorry to learn that... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I was sorry to learn that you underperformed in your crucial competition and are even considering dropping the sport you are fond of. I can fully put myself in your shoes, since it is really painful to mess up an important match. Take my friend Tom, for example. He once lost a key basketball match and felt like giving up. However, he chose to figure out his mistakes and trained harder. Gradually, he made great progress and finally achieved his goal. The motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger” teaches us that sportsmanship lies more in determination than in victory. It encourages us to rise from setbacks and keep challenging ourselves. Never lose heart. Stick to your passion, and you will make it.
