The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air. Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba (潜水) trip. We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share. But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly. When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half-hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly. Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed. 4. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip? A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty. C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3? A. Strict and determined. B. Insightful and inspiring. C. Resourceful and encouraging. D. Thoughtful and supportive. 6. Which could be a suggestion from the author to parents of teenagers? A. Be adaptive. B. Be courageous. C. Be protective. D. Be adventurous. 7. What key message is conveyed in the story? A. Nature helps to bridge generation gaps. B. Bonding happens naturally in shared moments. C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning. C Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 10. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social-welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Bring soul and meaning to designs. C. Employ AI as a powerful co-pilot. D. Prioritize philosophy over function. D In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 12. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”? A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers. B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills. C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party. D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis. 13. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur? A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad. C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience 第Ⅱ卷（满分55分） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） From the moment humankind first closed its eyes and slipped into the shifting landscapes of sleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, beasts both feared and admired, and journeys across impossible places. ___16___ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) and other classical texts describe dream interpretation as a means to predict the future. Dreams were believed to reveal disturbances in the balance of yin and yang, or it could signal harmony restored. For example, a dream of flowing water might symbolize life’s continuity. ___17___ One of the most famous dream passages in Chinese philosophy comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he questioned whether he was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man. ___18___ It vividly captured the Chinese view of dreams as a space which is a mix of reality and illusion (错觉). ___19___ Researchers in neuroscience explain dreams as patterns of brain activity, memory processing, and emotional regulation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most vivid dreaming occurs, is now understood as crucial for learning and psychological balance. Sigmund Freud suggested dreams were wish-fulfillments; Carl Jung saw them as messages from the collective unconscious. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ___20___ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A. This dream has been retold for centuries. B. Likewise, broken objects could warn of trouble. C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless. D. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture. E. Today, science throws light on the distinct roles of dreams. F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone. G. Dreams are inspirations that prepare us for real-life challenges. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, anxiety weighed heavily on me, crippling (削弱) my ability to do anything.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 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。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都市实验外国语学校高2024级高三上期期中考试 英语 考试时间120分钟 满分150分 第Ⅰ卷（满分95分） 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air.

Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share. But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm.

Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly. When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half-hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly. Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed. 4. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip? A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty. C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3? A.

Bonding happens naturally in shared moments. C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者和女儿计划通过潜水拉近关系，女儿却想放弃，最终作者明白快乐不只在冒险中，陪伴才是关键。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share.(我们参加了专业课程，完成了书面测试，还进行了两场耗费体力的泳池实操练习。此刻，真正的潜水时刻终于到来。教练即将为我们戴上潜水头盔。我深吸一口气，就是现在 —— 我终于有机会借着这段全新的体验，拉近和卡薇娅的距离，拥有一段属于我们父女俩的共同回忆)”可知，作者努力训练是为了通过这次潜水体验和女儿拉近距离。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly.(就在教练走近的瞬间，她小声问道：“爸爸，我可以放弃吗？”海浪声骤然变得嘈杂，身上的潜水装备也愈发沉重。出乎意料的是，我没有说出那句常挂在嘴边的话：“绝不许半途而废！”我也克制住了内心的不甘，没有纠结“这明明是我精心计划好的行程”。厚重的装备让我难以给她一个温柔的拥抱，反而溅了她一身水花，父女俩只能尴尬地相视一笑)”可知，作者在女儿想放弃潜水时，没有像往常一样强硬地要求她继续，而是克制住了自己的想法，这体现出作者体贴和理解他人。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed.(即使没有潜水，我们也很享受假期。我们游泳，收集贝壳，玩文字游戏。在那些缓慢而安静的时刻，我意识到快乐不仅仅存在于大冒险中。这不是我想象中的亲密时刻，但事实证明这正是我们所需要的)”可知，作者没有执着于原计划的潜水，而是和女儿享受了其他活动，这表明作者建议家长要灵活适应情况。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures.

Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 10. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social-welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Bring soul and meaning to designs. C. Employ AI as a powerful co-pilot. D. Prioritize philosophy over function. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了AI时代建筑设计的核心价值，指出建筑的真正价值在于哲学思考，而非技术复制。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change.(建筑不仅仅是关于结构的。它还反映了人类如何理解生活。这种理解始于个人——一座建筑如何影响人们的情绪。然后它延伸到社区——一个社区的设计是将人们聚集在一起还是使他们疏远。最终，它触及时间本身——如何平衡历史特征的保护与变革的需求)”可知，第二段从个人、社区、时间三个层面，从哲学视角阐述建筑的意义，其作用是从哲学角度呈现建筑的价值。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality.(人工智能可以复制成千上万种设计风格，但它无法做出价值判断。例如，它不知道为什么哥伦比亚的一座图书馆将阅览室——而不是办公室——设在最明亮、最高的地方：这一设计选择象征着平等)”可知，哥伦比亚图书馆的设计兼顾读者需求、体现平等理念，说明优秀的设计是以人为本的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature.(沙特阿拉伯规划中的城市“线性城市”就是这样一个例子。它的设计不仅是技术性的，也是哲学性的——它探讨人类是否能创造一个让人们与自然和谐共处的可持续城市)”可知，“线性城市”的本质是一个环保型城市项目。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other.(从重复的绘图工作中解放出来，人工智能时代的建筑师必须更深入地思考人文、社区和可持续性。未来伟大的设计将出现在技术与哲学相遇的地方，而不是一方取代另一方的地方)”可知，AI时代的建筑师应赋予设计灵魂和意义，融入哲学思考与人文关怀。故选B项。 D In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 12. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”? A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers. B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills. C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party. D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis. 13. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur? A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad. C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”，即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息，原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益，但长期有害个人与社会，人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand.(在这样一个信息泛滥的世界里，人们竟然常常故意不去学习新知识，这似乎有些奇怪。无论是逃避后续的医生检查，还是拒绝阅读一篇令人不安的新闻文章，这种行为都有一个名称：这就是“鸵鸟效应”，就像传说中那只把头埋进沙子里的鸵鸟一样)”可知，一位女士对她的信用卡账单视而不见体现了“鸵鸟效应”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.(通过避免获取知识，人们能够在短期内保护自己免受负面情绪的侵扰)”可知，“鸵鸟效应”出现是因为它能让我们避免感到痛苦。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“political divides or rigid beliefs(政治分歧或僵化的观念)”以及“When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.(当人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时，他们就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会)”可知，人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会，即回避行为会加深政治分歧或固化僵化的观念。故划线词意思是“加深”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.(从本质上讲，“鸵鸟效应”揭示了人类内心深处的一些东西。我们是好奇的生物，但也是脆弱的。我们渴望了解，但又害怕了解后可能带来的后果。这种矛盾的心理每天都在影响着我们的决策。这就是为什么研究人员强调，教育孩子不仅要培养好奇心，还要培养坚韧的品质，并且要时刻抓住学习、适应和成功的机会)”结合本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”，即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息，原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益，但长期有害个人与社会，人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。可知，A选项“为何无知竟会如此美好”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（满分55分） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） From the moment humankind first closed its eyes and slipped into the shifting landscapes of sleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, beasts both feared and admired, and journeys across impossible places. ___16___ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) and other classical texts describe dream interpretation as a means to predict the future. Dreams were believed to reveal disturbances in the balance of yin and yang, or it could signal harmony restored. For example, a dream of flowing water might symbolize life’s continuity. ___17___ One of the most famous dream passages in Chinese philosophy comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he questioned whether he was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man. ___18___ It vividly captured the Chinese view of dreams as a space which is a mix of reality and illusion (错觉). ___19___ Researchers in neuroscience explain dreams as patterns of brain activity, memory processing, and emotional regulation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most vivid dreaming occurs, is now understood as crucial for learning and psychological balance. Sigmund Freud suggested dreams were wish-fulfillments; Carl Jung saw them as messages from the collective unconscious. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ___20___ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A. This dream has been retold for centuries. B. Likewise, broken objects could warn of trouble. C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless. D. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture. E. Today, science throws light on the distinct roles of dreams. F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone. G. Dreams are inspirations that prepare us for real-life challenges. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. E 20.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 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。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom. She asked if she could sing for the baby. Mom smiled and nodded in agreement. Encouraged, Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for the baby. The mother, clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully. Mary took a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The song was simple yet engaging. She sang of sunshine and dreams, which was easy to catch. Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. Her little body relaxed as Mary’s gentle voice filled the air. The song was simple, yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin. The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody. The mother’s tense expression eased, and she gave Mary a grateful smile. As the song reached its end, everyone clapped with cheers, which turned the boring and annoying delay into a musical feast. Mary’s mom leaned over and whispered, “You did it again, lifting all our spirits.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了11岁的玛丽和妈妈在机场候机，航班因天气原因多次延误，乘客们心情烦躁。登机后，机舱内一个小女孩哭闹不止，妈妈尝试多种方法都无法安抚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽犹豫了一下，然后转向了妈妈”可知，第一段可描写玛丽犹豫后询问妈妈能否为小女孩唱歌，妈妈同意，玛丽又征得小女孩妈妈同意后开始唱歌，歌声由轻柔逐渐变得自信，歌曲简单且吸引人。 ②由第二段首句内容“慢慢地，婴儿的哭声缓和了下来”可知，第二段可描写小女孩在玛丽歌声的安抚下停止哭闹，其他原本烦躁的乘客也安静下来，小女孩妈妈露出感激的微笑，歌曲结束后大家鼓掌欢呼，玛丽再次用歌声振奋了大家的精神。 2.续写线索：玛丽询问妈妈——征得小女孩妈妈同意——开始唱歌——小女孩停止哭闹——乘客安静下来——妈妈感激——大家鼓掌欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage /motivate ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ③放松：relax /unwind 情绪类 ①疲惫的：exhausted/tired ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She asked if she could sing for the baby.（运用了 if 引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody.（运用了独立主格结构 The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song，以及who引导的非限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
