B At 23, fresh out of college, I felt terribly insecure in any group discussion. My opinions were frequently dismissed, so I resolved to rebuild myself. I picked up a copy of the New York Times every morning, hoping to absorb enough insight to sound intelligent. The first week was overwhelming — long articles on economic policy, climate change, and international affairs left me dizzy. I nearly gave up, but a persistent inner voice challenged me: if I couldn’t even digest the daily news, how could I survive the real world? Determined, I persisted, and slowly the fog lifted. I started recording short video clips to summarize my daily reading, treating them as personal learning diaries. Surprisingly, these rough and unedited videos gained unexpected popularity. Viewers wrote that my confusion and raw reactions made the heavy news more approachable. That moment was transformative — I realized that sharing my learning process, rather than faking expertise, created genuine connections with strangers who felt the same struggle. As my followers increased, I began to think about the deeper meaning behind this appeal. In an age dominated by polished social media stars, my imperfect presentations stood out because they were real. People long for authenticity, not performance. By openly admitting what I didn’t understand, I built a small community where questions were celebrated and curiosity awakened. This insight reshaped my understanding of confidence: it is not about knowing all the answers, but about having the bravery to explore uncertainties along with others. Now, reading the Times is more than a daily habit — it is my intellectual foundation. It has sharpened my critical thinking, enriched my vocabulary, and broadened my worldview. Meanwhile, it has given me a unique voice in conversations. I no longer avoid challenging topics; instead, I engage with modesty and clarity. The newspaper, once a source of anxiety, has become a faithful companion on my journey of growth. Ultimately, I’ve learned that every person, regardless of age, holds valuable perspectives worth sharing — if only they dare to speak up. 4. Why did the author turn to the New York Times? A. To reshape herself. B. To record short videos. C. To survive the real world. D. To share the learning process. 5. What made the author’s videos popular? A. Personal values. B. Genuine sincerity. C. Perfect presentation. D. Editing expertise. 6. What is the author most likely to do in the future? A. Avoid familiar topics. B. Appreciate others’ perspectives. C. Analyze social media. D. Advocate short video production. 7. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Accomplished and proud. B. Caring and persistent. C. Sympathetic and ambitious. D. Modest and reflective. C Recent studies found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands “are generally annoying me.” It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Navvies, miners, and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the excess deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive. Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed. 8. What does the underlined word “exercising” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Setting tasks for. B. Meeting the needs of. C. Bringing trouble to. D. Occupying the thoughts of. 9. How did Morris conduct his study? A. By carrying out surveys among numerous workers. B. By comparing medical records of transport workers. C. By observing the routines of drivers and conductors. D. By interviewing doctors about their theories on heart disease. 10. What tone does the author use in the text? A. Playful. B. Ironic. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Effects of Smiling on London Bus Drivers B. Londoners’ Views on Bus Drivers’ Happiness C. How London Bus Drivers Changed the World D. How London’s Transportation System Evolved D The desire for better economic data is hardly new. America’s GNP estimates date back to 1934 and initially came with a 13-month time lag (滞后). In the 1950s a young Alan Greenspan monitored freight-car (铁路货运车厢) traffic to arrive at early estimates of steel production. Ever since Walmart pioneered supply-chain management in the 1980s private-sector bosses have seen timely data as a source of competitive advantage. But the public sector has been slow to reform how it works. The official figures that economists track — like GDP or employment — come with lags of weeks or months and are often revised dramatically. Productivity takes years to calculate accurately. Bad and late data can lead to policy errors that cost millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in lost output. The financial crisis would have been a lot less harmful if the Federal Reserve had cut interest rates to near zero in December 2007, when America entered recession, rather than in December 2008, when economists at last saw it in the numbers. The pandemic has, however, become a boost for change. Without the time to wait for official surveys to reveal the effects of the virus or lockdowns, governments and central banks have experimented, tracking mobile phones, contactless payments and the real-time use of aircraft engines. Timely data would cut the risk of policy disasters — it would be easier to judge, say, if a dip was becoming a collapse. And the levers (调控手段) governments can pull will improve, too. Good data during crises could let support be precisely targeted: imagine loans only for firms with healthy balance-sheets (资产负债表) but a temporary financial problem. Instead of wasteful universal welfare payments made through social-security systems, the poor could enjoy instant extra income if they lost their jobs, paid into digital wallets without any paperwork. The real-time revolution promises to make economic decisions more accurate, transparent and rules-based. But it also brings dangers. Big firms could hold back data, giving them an undue advantage. Private firms such as Facebook, which launched a digital wallet this week, may one day have more insight into consumer spending than the Fed does. To make matters worse, with rich data at hand, it will be tempting for politicians and officials to imagine they can see far into the future, or have competence to shape society in the best way. In fact, no amount of data can reliably predict the future. Complex, dynamic economies rely on the spontaneous (自发的) behaviour of millions of independent firms and consumers. Instant economics isn’t about sharp perception or infinite knowledge. Instead, its promise is uninteresting but transformative: better, timelier and more rational decision-making. 12. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. Analyzing the causes. B. Describing a process. C. Listing opposite views. D. Presenting an argument. 13. What proves the value of timely data? A. The government waited for official surveys. B. Well-financed firms in trouble are granted loans. C. Interest rates were cut to near zero in December 2007. D. Welfare payments are made through social-security systems. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Big firms hold back data for no good reason. B. Governments have more access to real-time data. C. Authorities can be blindly confident with rich data. D. Benefits of real-time revolution outweigh its dangers. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Healthy firms survive the troubled times. B. Data analysts are futurists in the post-pandemic era. C. Instant economics is a real-time revolution with hope and fear. D. Correct economic decisions are anchors in this changing world. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips.

His daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, no matter how hard he pushed Anna. Every mention of this nickname made Sami feel anxious. One day, Sami, along with Anna, was invited to a lively gathering of several friends and their families. The atmosphere was delightful and as the lunch came to a finish, a woman playfully asked the youngsters what they aspired (有志成为) to be when they grew up. “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” One after another, the children voiced these bold, ambitious dreams, earning warm applause and compliments from the adults. Anna, however, simply smiled and clapped along, remaining silent. She was quietly occupied with serving soup and distributing cookies to the guests. Then, the woman who had posed the question turned her gaze toward Anna and added, “Hey, our Anna hasn’t shared her dream yet. What do you want to be when you grow up?” Anna paused, and then, with a soft smile, replied, “I want to be a primary school teacher. I love kids—telling them funny stories and teaching them how to make paper cuts. I just love dancing and singing and playing with them.” The room fell instantly silent. Sami felt his heart sink. Later, boarding a rented bus for the return trip, Sami stared out the window, a heavy cloud of disappointment settling over him. He had hoped Anna would dream bigger, not settle for such an ordinary life. As traffic thickened, the bus got fast stuck in a jam. Suddenly, two boys erupted into a full-blown quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. To make matters worse, more kids on the bus began to get restless due to the jam. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that critical moment, Anna stepped in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sami excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南京师大附中2026-2027学年度第1学期 高三年级期中考试英语试卷 命题人：高三英语备课组 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1. 本试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2. 答卷前，务必将姓名、班级、学号、考场号、座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 请用0.5毫米黑色签字笔按题号在答题卡指定区域作答，在其它位置作答一律无效 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者大学毕业后缺乏自信，坚持阅读《纽约时报》并分享学习过程，感悟到自信源于真诚探索而非全知全能。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My opinions were frequently dismissed, so I resolved to rebuild myself. I picked up a copy of the New York Times every morning, hoping to absorb enough insight to sound intelligent. (我的观点常常被忽视，所以我决心重塑自我。我每天早上拿一份《纽约时报》，希望汲取足够见解，让自己谈吐有见地)”可知，作者的观点经常被忽视，读《纽约时报》是为了重塑自我。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Viewers wrote that my confusion and raw reactions made the heavy news more approachable. (观众留言说我的困惑和真实反应让严肃新闻更容易理解)”和第三段“In an age dominated by polished social media stars, my imperfect presentations stood out because they were real. (在精修网红当道的时代，我不完美的分享脱颖而出，因为它们很真实)”可知，作者视频受欢迎的原因在于她不加掩饰的真实与真诚。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, I’ve learned that every person, regardless of age, holds valuable perspectives worth sharing — if only they dare to speak up. (最终我懂得，每个人无论年龄，都有值得分享的宝贵观点，只要敢于表达)”可知，作者深刻认识到了他人观点的价值，因此在未来她最有可能去欣赏他人的观点。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“By openly admitting what I didn’t understand, I built a small community where questions were celebrated and curiosity awakened. This insight reshaped my understanding of confidence: it is not about knowing all the answers, but about having the bravery to explore uncertainties along with others.(通过公开承认我不懂的东西，我建立了一个小社区，在那里问题受到鼓励，好奇心被唤醒。这一洞察重塑了我对自信的理解：自信不是知道所有答案，而是有勇气与他人一起探索不确定性。)”以及第四段“I no longer avoid challenging topics; instead, I engage with modesty and clarity. (我不再回避有难度的话题，而是谦逊清晰地参与讨论)”可知，作者坚持不懈且谦逊、善于反思。 C Recent studies found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands “are generally annoying me.” It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Navvies, miners, and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the excess deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive. Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed. 8. What does the underlined word “exercising” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Setting tasks for. B. Meeting the needs of. C. Bringing trouble to. D. Occupying the thoughts of. 9. How did Morris conduct his study? A. By carrying out surveys among numerous workers. B. By comparing medical records of transport workers. C. By observing the routines of drivers and conductors. D. By interviewing doctors about their theories on heart disease. 10. What tone does the author use in the text? A. Playful. B. Ironic. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Effects of Smiling on London Bus Drivers B. Londoners’ Views on Bus Drivers’ Happiness C. How London Bus Drivers Changed the World D. How London’s Transportation System Evolved 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了伦敦公交车司机是如何改变世界。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Britain was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise.(英国当时正遭遇心脏病的 “流行”，没人知道病因。人们提出了各种各样的猜想，比如压力；但运动这个因素，并没有exercising研究者。)”可知，当时英国心脏病大肆流行，人们提出压力等各种猜想，但运动这件事并没有占据研究者的思绪。由此可知，exercising意为“使思考，占据思绪”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the excess deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31, 000 London transport workers.(这时，一位名叫杰里·莫里斯的年轻医生开始怀疑，心脏病导致的超额死亡人数可能与职业有关。他开始研究31000名伦敦运输工人的医疗记录。)”可知，杰里·莫里斯医生通过对比交通从业者的病历记录开展研究的。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent studies found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands “are generally annoying me.”(近期研究发现，向伦敦公交司机微笑能提升幸福感。然而，在开往汉普斯特德荒野的 24 路公交车上，伦敦市民对此持怀疑态度。莉兹・汉兹说：“公交司机总让我觉得很烦。”)”和最后一段“Morris also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.(莫里斯自己也开始运动，他把外套递给女儿，直接就跑了起来。“当时大家都觉得我疯了。” 慢慢地，全世界其他人也纷纷脱下外套，效仿他开始运动。)”可知，开篇调侃伦敦乘客对“对司机微笑”的说法持怀疑态度，结尾写Morris突然当众跑步时旁人觉得“他疯了”，用轻松诙谐的叙事风格讲严肃的医学史内容。由此可知，作者在文中使用了轻松诙谐的语气。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now.(伦敦的公共汽车在医学史上的作用被低估了。20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦运输工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。)”、第三段“The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today(健康与运动之间的关系“并不是我们今天所知道的公认事实”。)”、倒数第二段“His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive.(他的发现令人惊叹：花时间跑上跑下楼梯的售票员比整天坐着的司机患疾病的可能性低30%左右。锻炼使人保持活力。)”以及最后一段“Morris now also took up exercise (莫里斯现在也开始锻炼)”可知，本文主要讲的是对公交车司机的研究导致了“运动”这一概念的产生，这是革命性的影响，因此推断C项 “伦敦公交司机如何改变了世界”为最佳标题。 D The desire for better economic data is hardly new. America’s GNP estimates date back to 1934 and initially came with a 13-month time lag (滞后). In the 1950s a young Alan Greenspan monitored freight-car (铁路货运车厢) traffic to arrive at early estimates of steel production. Ever since Walmart pioneered supply-chain management in the 1980s private-sector bosses have seen timely data as a source of competitive advantage. But the public sector has been slow to reform how it works. The official figures that economists track — like GDP or employment — come with lags of weeks or months and are often revised dramatically. Productivity takes years to calculate accurately. Bad and late data can lead to policy errors that cost millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in lost output. The financial crisis would have been a lot less harmful if the Federal Reserve had cut interest rates to near zero in December 2007, when America entered recession, rather than in December 2008, when economists at last saw it in the numbers. The pandemic has, however, become a boost for change. Without the time to wait for official surveys to reveal the effects of the virus or lockdowns, governments and central banks have experimented, tracking mobile phones, contactless payments and the real-time use of aircraft engines. Timely data would cut the risk of policy disasters — it would be easier to judge, say, if a dip was becoming a collapse. And the levers (调控手段) governments can pull will improve, too. Good data during crises could let support be precisely targeted: imagine loans only for firms with healthy balance-sheets (资产负债表) but a temporary financial problem. Instead of wasteful universal welfare payments made through social-security systems, the poor could enjoy instant extra income if they lost their jobs, paid into digital wallets without any paperwork. The real-time revolution promises to make economic decisions more accurate, transparent and rules-based. But it also brings dangers. Big firms could hold back data, giving them an undue advantage. Private firms such as Facebook, which launched a digital wallet this week, may one day have more insight into consumer spending than the Fed does. To make matters worse, with rich data at hand, it will be tempting for politicians and officials to imagine they can see far into the future, or have competence to shape society in the best way. In fact, no amount of data can reliably predict the future. Complex, dynamic economies rely on the spontaneous (自发的) behaviour of millions of independent firms and consumers. Instant economics isn’t about sharp perception or infinite knowledge. Instead, its promise is uninteresting but transformative: better, timelier and more rational decision-making. 12. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. Analyzing the causes. B. Describing a process. C. Listing opposite views. D. Presenting an argument. 13. What proves the value of timely data? A. The government waited for official surveys. B. Well-financed firms in trouble are granted loans. C. Interest rates were cut to near zero in December 2007. D. Welfare payments are made through social-security systems. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Big firms hold back data for no good reason. B. Governments have more access to real-time data. C. Authorities can be blindly confident with rich data. D. Benefits of real-time revolution outweigh its dangers. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Healthy firms survive the troubled times. B. Data analysts are futurists in the post-pandemic era. C. Instant economics is a real-time revolution with hope and fear. D. Correct economic decisions are anchors in this changing world. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍实时经济数据革命的背景、好处、潜在风险，并指出即时经济学旨在实现更及时理性的决策。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段先说明人们想要更好经济数据的需求由来已久，举例说明私营部门很早就重视及时数据，再用“But the public sector has been slow to reform how it works.(但是公共部门改革其运作方式一直很缓慢)”提出核心论点，引出下文对及时数据的探讨。所以第一段是提出论点。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Timely data would cut the risk of policy disasters — it would be easier to judge, say, if a dip was becoming a collapse. And the levers (调控手段) governments can pull will improve, too. Good data during crises could let support be precisely targeted: imagine loans only for firms with healthy balance-sheets (资产负债表) but a temporary financial problem.(及时的数据将会降低政策失误灾难的风险 —— 举例来说，判断一次下滑是否正在演变为一场崩盘将会变得更容易。并且政府可以动用的调控手段也将会得到改善。危机期间良好的数据可以让支持精准定向：想象一下只给资产负债表健康但是存在临时财务问题的企业发放贷款)”可知，给资金状况良好但陷入困境的企业发放贷款，是及时数据价值的体现。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“To make matters worse, with rich data at hand, it will be tempting for politicians and officials to imagine they can see far into the future, or have competence to shape society in the best way.(更糟的是，手握丰富的数据，政客和官员很容易产生一种错觉，认为自己可以预见遥远的未来，或是有能力以最优方式塑造社会)”可知，有了丰富的数据，掌权者可能盲目自信。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The official figures that economists track — like GDP or employment — come with lags of weeks or months and are often revised dramatically. Productivity takes years to calculate accurately.(经济学家所追踪的官方数据（比如国内生产总值或就业数据）会存在数周或数月的滞后时间，并且往往还会被大幅修正。而生产率的准确计算则需要数年时间)”结合本文围绕实时经济数据展开，提及过往数据滞后的问题与危害，阐述疫情推动实时数据应用的价值，同时指出其带来的企业垄断、过度自信等风险，展望其优化决策的潜力可知，这篇文章的主要观点是“即时经济学”是一场充满希望与恐惧的实时变革”。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips.

Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma. If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. ___19___ Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost (堆肥), aged manure, or peat moss. ___20___ This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay-like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot. With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home. A. Also, consider the distance to a water source. B. Make sure to space plants to prevent overcrowding. C. Use a garden fork to loosen the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches. D. However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation as well. E. But building a successful herb garden requires planning and techniques. F. The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. G. Some herbs are more cold-hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章指出自建香草园既能提升厨艺、美化居室，又能让人放松，并按照选位置、挑品种、整土壤的顺序，介绍搭建香草园的具体做法。 【16题详解】 前文“Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well-maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. (无论你是经验丰富的园艺爱好者还是新手，打理得当的香草园都能提升你的厨艺、为你的空间增添美感，甚至带来放松的感觉。)”列举了香草园的种种好处，后文“By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come. (只要按照这些实用步骤去做，你就能打造出一座长势旺盛的香草园，让它在未来的许多季节里都令你受益。)”则要引出下文的具体步骤。前为好处，后文步骤，中间需要一个转折来过渡，E选项“But building a successful herb garden requires planning and techniques. (但建成一座成功的香草园需要规划与技巧。)”承接前文的好处，指出光有好处还不够、还得有方法，把上下文连成“虽有好处、但需技巧、以下就是步骤”这一条线。 【17题详解】 后文“Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. (大多数香草在充足的阳光下长势最好，每天至少需要六到八小时的直射阳光。)”以及本段最后一句“Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. (要考虑你所选的位置一天中能接受多少阳光。)”都在讲日照时长与选点的关系，说的是“选在哪里”的问题。空格位于段首，须为本段立一个统摄全段的主旨，F选项“The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. (第一个关键步骤是为你的香草园选好位置。)”可领起下文关于阳光的一整段论述；同时承接了第一段最后一句中的 “these practical steps”，表明分步讲解由此开始。 【18题详解】 前一段已就阳光这一条件提出要求，后文“If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs. (如果你住在风力强劲的地区，就找一个避风的位置，或用防风屏障来保护娇嫩的香草。)”从风这个角度对选位置再作补充。空格处在段首，须把话题由日照转到空气，D选项“However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation as well. (不过，确保良好的空气流通同样重要。)”用“However” 从阳光转向空气，其“good air circulation”又为后文的强风防护作了铺垫，构成递进。 【19题详解】 前文“Also, take into account your local climate. (另外，还要把你当地的气候考虑进去。)”只提出了“考虑气候”这一要求，并未说明气候究竟怎样影响选择，而空格正处本段末尾，需要把这层意思补足。G选项“Some herbs are more cold-hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures. (有些香草更耐寒，而另一些则喜欢较温暖的气温。)”用耐寒与喜暖两类差异，具体说明当地气候为何必须纳入考虑，给出依据。 【20题详解】 前文“You can improve the soil quality by adding compost (堆肥), aged manure, or peat moss. (你可以通过加入堆肥、腐熟的粪肥或泥炭来改良土壤。)”讲的是往土里加什么，后文“This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. (这能让香草的根系更容易生长。)”中的 This 需要一个前指的动作为依托，且这个动作须与根系生长直接相关。C选项“Use a garden fork to loosen the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches. (用园艺叉把土翻松到八到十英寸深。)”所讲的松土正是让根系舒展的条件。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother was the most horrible cook, unbelievably bad at it.

His daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, no matter how hard he pushed Anna. Every mention of this nickname made Sami feel anxious. One day, Sami, along with Anna, was invited to a lively gathering of several friends and their families. The atmosphere was delightful and as the lunch came to a finish, a woman playfully asked the youngsters what they aspired (有志成为) to be when they grew up. “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” One after another, the children voiced these bold, ambitious dreams, earning warm applause and compliments from the adults. Anna, however, simply smiled and clapped along, remaining silent. She was quietly occupied with serving soup and distributing cookies to the guests. Then, the woman who had posed the question turned her gaze toward Anna and added, “Hey, our Anna hasn’t shared her dream yet. What do you want to be when you grow up?” Anna paused, and then, with a soft smile, replied, “I want to be a primary school teacher. I love kids—telling them funny stories and teaching them how to make paper cuts. I just love dancing and singing and playing with them.” The room fell instantly silent. Sami felt his heart sink. Later, boarding a rented bus for the return trip, Sami stared out the window, a heavy cloud of disappointment settling over him. He had hoped Anna would dream bigger, not settle for such an ordinary life. As traffic thickened, the bus got fast stuck in a jam. Suddenly, two boys erupted into a full-blown quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. To make matters worse, more kids on the bus began to get restless due to the jam. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that critical moment, Anna stepped in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sami excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At that critical moment, Anna stepped in. She walked up to the two boys gently, divided the dessert into two equal pieces, and whispered a few funny words to them. The boys soon became quiet and broke into smiles. Then Anna turned to other restless kids, teaching them finger games and nursery rhymes. Her gentle voice and patience worked like magic, drawing even restless children into the games. The noisy bus was soon filled with cheerful laughter. Sami sat still, staring at his daughter in total disbelief. Sami excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently. “It’s no big deal. I just love being with kids,” she said softly. At that moment, Sami’s former disappointment disappeared completely. He realized being a primary school teacher was never an ordinary dream — it required kindness and patience, which Anna had in abundance. Those qualities, he saw, could calm chaos and light up a room better than any grand ambition. The ranking “Number 23” meant nothing compared to his daughter’s warm heart. Sami held Anna’s hand tightly, filled with pride. 【解析】 【导语】本文以单身父亲萨米与女儿安娜的相处为线索，讲述了萨米对女儿成绩差深感焦虑。在一次聚会上，安娜说出平凡的梦想，令萨米失望。返程途中，安娜用耐心与善意安抚了车上的孩子们，萨米由此明白女儿的善良与耐心远比名次和宏大志向珍贵，学会了欣赏女儿。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写安娜如何用一系列的方法使车厢恢复欢笑，令萨米很惊讶。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写萨米称赞安娜及安娜的反应，萨米内心的失望随之消散，并意识到安娜拥有良好的品质，最终为女儿感到骄傲。 2. 续写线索：安娜介入→采用方法→车厢恢复欢笑→萨米惊讶→萨米称赞→安娜回应→萨米失望消散→领悟梦想真谛→为女儿骄傲 3. 词类激活 行为类 ① 消散：disappear/melt away/fade away ②紧握：hold tightly/grasp firmly/squeeze gently 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/frustration/disillusionment ②快乐的：cheerful/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] He realized being a primary school teacher was never an ordinary dream — it required kindness and patience, which Anna had in abundance.（运用了省略that的宾语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Then Anna turned to other restless kids, teaching them finger games and nursery rhymes.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
