一、第一部分阅读，第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Hosting the Olympics requires large spending. But in many cases, efficiently utilizing（利用） the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics.
London, Britain
The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3, 000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas.
Beijing, China
Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia's largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history.
New York, America
The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It's not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.
Helsinki, Finland
Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.
1．Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums
A．To boost national pride.
B．To earn international reputation.
C．To increase financial returns.
D．To reduce environmental impacts.

D．It allows commercial activities.
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma（听神经瘤） was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration（沮丧）and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn't know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric（古 怪的） singer most people dislike, but I don't care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits'odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
4．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness
A．He lost the ability to keep balance.
B．His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C．He underwent two operations in a row.
D．His vision was accidentally damaged.
5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The author's efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B．The author's self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C．The different attitudes of the author's family to him.
D．The considerable impact of the author's brain injury.
6．How did the author find his talk with the boy
A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth.
7．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits' music
A．Music is the universal language of mankind.
B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When we ignore small tasks deliberately, they balloon from tiny checklist items into big annoyances. It could be a quick email or some boring paperwork-something that will only take a few minutes and yet, somehow, for some reasons, you keep on putting it off.
This is procrastination（拖延症）. People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose until the last minute, or past due date, although they're fully aware of the negative results. Typically, procrastination is caused by the lack of the ability to organize and plan how to divide time between different activities, but emotions can also be a factor, says Fuschia Sirois, a professor at the University of Sheffield.
It's easy to understand why we procrastinate on big tasks. They can be physically or mentally demanding and require lots of time and energy. However, small tasks can lead to a particularly annoying form of procrastination. This could be something as simple as making a phone call to a stranger. You are so unwilling and afraid that you might mess it up. This makes worry sit in your mind, reduces your ability to solve the problem and then leads to procrastination. "We don't procrastinate on tiny tasks because they slip our mind; rather, we make a conscious choice to put off something that might arouse doubt, fear or feelings of incompetence, says Sirois.
Another reason is that small tasks often don't have hard deadlines. So, it's easier to have an avoidance reaction because, unlike the big tasks, there's nothing to push us.
So, how to get small things done Sirois suggests we should move our attention from emotions to actions. "Sometimes, things are coloured by our emotions, " he explains. Once you actually begin a task, you might find it less stressful than you thought when you were procrastinating. And since a tiny task won't take long, rather than scheduling it, just get cracking. Don't let tiny things become big monsters.
8．What can we know about people who procrastinate
A．They manage to finish on time.
B．They underestimate the consequences.
C．They might put off work unintentionally.
D．They might have time management problems.
9．Why does the author mention "making a phone call" in paragraph 3
A．To make a comparison with big tasks.
B．To show small things can be physically demanding.
C．To provide an example of overcoming procrastination.
D．To prove procrastination can result from negative feelings.
10．What do the underlined words "get cracking" mean in the last paragraph
A．Make a plan. B．Set a deadline.
C．Take immediate action. D．Adopt a positive attitude.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Why Do We Put off Small Things
B．Why Do Small Things Make Us Worried
C．How Does Procrastination Affect Your Life
D．How Do Negative Feelings Become Procrastination
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Last month, a part of the Negro River in the Amazon rainforest reduced to a depth of just 12. 7 metres, its lowest level in 120 years, due to the lack of rainfall. In Lake Tefé, about 500 kilometres away, more than 150 river dolphins were found dead, not because of the low water levels, but probably because the lake had reached temperatures close to 40 C.
"The Amazon rainforest in northern Brazil is experiencing a tough time and it is the sum of three things, says Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil's National Institute. "The first is deforestation, which is turning rainforest into a drier, hotter place, she says.
"Additionally, El Ninio climate pattern has begun and it makes things worse, "adds Gatti. El Ni o is a phenomenon which occurs every two to seven years. During El Ni o, winds that usually blow from east to west along the equator（赤道） are weakened or even turn the other way round. This leads to the change of rainfall in South America, causing dry air in the north, where the rainforest lies, and damp air in the south. As a result, countries in the south are currently greeted by heavy rains, while the Amazon is experiencing the lowest rainfall levels from July to September in 40 years.
The third factor is the unusual warming of the water in the northern Atlantic Ocean. The warming of these waters causes the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone（热带辐合带）, a region of intense cloud and rain formation, to shift north. The ITCZ takes the storms with it, away from Brazil, and causes less rainfall than usual.
Although it is hard to predict when the next drought might strike the Amazon, studies show that climate change is messing with the timing of El Ni o. "The tendency is that we have stronger and more frequent crises, Gatti says. This could be a disaster for the Amazon rainforest, already hit by deforestation and a warming, drying climate. "The forest's tipping point is coming closer-and it's coming quick.
12．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A．The climate change and flood.
B．The extreme drought and heat.
C．The severe pollution and extinction.
D．The wildlife death and deforestation.
13．According to Gatti, why does El Ni o make things worse
A．The east wind brings hot air.
B．The west wind causes heavy rain.
C．The high temperature has decreased damp air.
D．The wind direction has affected the rainfall pattern.
14．What can be inferred about the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone from paragraph 4
A．It produces rainfall in Brazil.
B．It carries clouds to rainforest.
C．Its movement worsens the drought.
D．Its formation raises the water temperature.
15．What is Gatti's attitude to the future of the Amazon rainforest
A．Concerned. B．Unclear. C．Positive. D．Objective.

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。
The appeal of clay（黏土）, with its physicality and boundless creative potential, has attracted artists, technicians, and hobbyists for centuries. 16． This essay will explore how making pottery offers countless benefits for mental health, including stress relief, sensory engagement, acceptance of imperfection, and self-expression.
Engaging with clay is a comforting activity that can reduce stress and anxiety. The focus and concentration required to sculpt clay can quiet the mind and promote relaxation. In addition to its healing benefits, making pottery provides a comforting sensory experience. 17． This process also involves repetitive motions such as throwing, shaping, and coloring, which can provide a sense of control and accomplishment, boosting self-confidence and reducing negative thoughts.
18． We may spend hours beautifying our pieces, choosing colors that speak to us, and hoping they will look as we envision after firing. Sometimes they do, especially for the fortunate or skilled. But often, we must learn to accept imperfection. As the experienced potter Meg Biddle puts it, "It's finding that balance between control and unpredictability that gives me joy.
Creating with clay is an overall experience that engages our hands, fine motor skills, and imagination. It is an extension of ourselves, allowing us to shape the clay with raw emotions while making detailed decisions. 19．
In conclusion, pottery offers countless benefits for our well-being, including stress relief, creative expression, and the ability to let go. As we transform clay into a beautifully finished piece of art, we also take a step closer to our own transformation. Pottery is not just an art form. 20．
A. Working with clay means taking your time. B. But pottery is more than just a creative pursuit. C. It's also a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. D. Its touching nature allows the body and mind to unwind. E. Working with clay also teaches us to accept unpredictability. F. Through pottery, we have our external and internal desires expressed. G. The benefits of sculpting clay outweigh the long and tiring process involved.

Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else on the earth. We wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the evening star drop behind the trees. However, our mother believed that we were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet. She had witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small conflicts. In her eyes, these were signs that we lacked the necessary responsibility.
One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Josie saw something. She pointed down toward a dark shadow, "What's that "
For one astonishing second, Josie and I stared at each other. Then we rushed down onto the doorway. There in our yard stood a black dog. Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. The dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, then a step back, not sure whether to trust us. She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone, and her coat was messy.
"We're going to have a dog!" My inside was full of excitement, just like before Christmas or our birthday.
"What's a good name " said Josie.
The perfect name wrote itself in my mind, "Shadow!"
The next day, we piled together all, the pocket money we had to buy all kinds of dog foods and hid it in various places because we were afraid Mom wouldn't approve that if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog.
That night, after our parents were asleep, we silently slipped downstairs to feed Shadow. We carefully poured the dog food into the bowl, trying to make as. little noise as possible. Shadow, who had been waiting eagerly by our side, wagged （摇晃） her tail. As we placed the bowl on the floor, a creaking （吱吱的） sound filled the house. Suddenly, the kitchen light was switched on, illuminating the room and revealing our 'shocked faces.

8．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose until the last minute, or past due date, although they're fully aware of the negative results. Typically, procrastination is caused by the lack of the ability to organize and plan how to divide time between different activities, but emotions can also be a factor, says Fuschia Sirois, a professor at the University of Sheffield."拖延的人倾向于故意将任务推迟到最后一刻或过期日期，尽管他们完全意识到负面结果。谢菲尔德大学教授Fuschia Sirois表示，通常情况下，拖延症是由于缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力造成的，但情绪也可能是一个因素。可知，拖延的人故意将任务推迟到最后一刻或过期日期，他们缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力，可知，拖延的人可能存在时间管理问题。故选D。
9．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"However, small tasks can lead to a particularly annoying form of procrastination. This could be something as simple as making a phone call to a stranger. You are so unwilling and afraid that you might mess it up. This makes worry sit in your mind, reduces your ability to solve the problem and then leads to procrastination. "然而，小任务会导致一种特别恼人的拖延症。这可能就像给陌生人打电话一样简单。你是如此不愿意，也害怕你会把事情搞砸。这会让你心中充满忧虑，降低你解决问题的能力，进而导致拖延。可知，像给陌生人打电话这种小事，会让你心中充满忧虑，这是你的消极情绪，这进而降低你解决问题的能力，导致拖延。由此可推知，作者在第三段提到"打电话"这种小事是为了证明拖延可能是由消极情绪引起的。故选D。
10．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的"So, how to get small things done Sirois suggests we should move our attention from emotions to actions."那么，如何把小事做好呢？Sirois建议我们应该将注意力从情绪转移到行动上；以及"And since a tiny task won't take long, rather than scheduling it, just get cracking"由于一个小任务不会花很长时间，所以与其安排它，不如get cracking，可知，做好小事需要将注意力转移到行动上，可推知，小任务不会花很长时间，所以我们要立即采取行动解决它，划线短语get cracking意为"立即采取行动。"，故选C。
11．考查标题归纳。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了拖延小事的这种具体行为；第二段解释了拖延的人的做法以及拖延的原因——缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力是一个原因，情绪也可能是一个因素。第三段和第四段解释了推迟小事的原因；第五段介绍了我们该如何把小事做好，避免拖延。由此可知，文章主要介绍了我们为什么推迟小事的原因，"为什么我们要推迟小事？"适合作文章标题，故选A。

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；自然地理类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了亚马孙雨林极度干旱和炎热原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇地理类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Last month, a part of the Negro River in the Amazon rainforest reduced to a depth of just 12.7 metres, its lowest level in 120 years, due to the lack of rainfall. In Lake Tefé, about 500 kilometres away, more than 150 river dolphins were found dead, not because of the low water levels, but probably because the lake had reached temperatures close to 40 C.(上个月，由于降雨不足，亚马孙雨林内格罗河的部分水深降至仅12.7米，为120年来的最低水位。在大约500公里外的特菲湖（Lake Tefé），有超过150只河豚被发现死亡，这并不是因为水位低，而是因为湖水温度达到了接近40摄氏度)"可知，降雨不足，内格罗河的部分水深降至仅12.7米，且湖水温度达到了接近40摄氏度，结合第二段中"The first is deforestation, which is turning rainforest into a drier, hotter place(首先是森林砍伐，这使得雨林变得更加干燥、炎热)"可推知，作者在文章的开头描述了极度干旱和炎热的天气。故选B。
13．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"‘Additionally, El Ninio climate pattern has begun and it makes things worse,' adds Gatti. El Ni o is a phenomenon which occurs every two to seven years. During El Ni o, winds that usually blow from east to west along the equator (赤道) are weakened or even turn the other way round. This leads to the change of rainfall in South America, causing dry air in the north, where the rainforest lies, and damp air in the south.""此外，厄尔尼诺气候模式已经开始，这让事情变得更糟，"加蒂补充道。厄尔尼诺现象每两到七年就会发生一次。厄尔尼诺现象期间，通常沿赤道自东向西吹的风会减弱，甚至逆转。这导致南美洲降雨量的变化，导致热带雨林所在的北部空气干燥，而南部空气潮湿。可知，Gatti认为，厄尔尼诺现象会让事情变得更糟，这是因为风向影响了降雨模式。故选D。
14．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"The warming of these waters causes the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (热带辐合带), a region of intense cloud and rain formation, to shift north. The ITCZ takes the storms with it, away from Brazil, and causes less rainfall than usual."这些水域变暖导致热带辐合带（一个云雨密集的区域）向北移动。ITCZ将风暴带离巴西，导致降雨量比平常少。可知，热带辐合带将风暴带离巴西，导致降雨量比平常少，进而导致极度干旱和炎热。可推知，热带辐合带的移动加剧了干旱。故选C。
15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"‘The tendency is that we have stronger and more frequent crises,' Gatti says. This could be a disaster for the Amazon rainforest, already hit by deforestation and a warming, drying climate." 加蒂表示："趋势是我们面临的危机更加严重、更加频繁。对于已经受到森林砍伐和气候变暖、干燥影响的亚马孙雨林来说，这可能是一场灾难。"可推知，Gatti对亚马孙雨林的未来很担心。故选A。
【答案】16．B；17．D；18．E；19．F；20．C
【知识点】说明文；七选五；医疗保健类

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Hosting the Olympics requires large spending. But in many cases, efficiently utilizing（利用） the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics.
London, Britain
The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3, 000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas.
Beijing, China
Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia's largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history.
New York, America
The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It's not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.
Helsinki, Finland
Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma（听神经瘤） was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration（沮丧）and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn't know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric（古 怪的） singer most people dislike, but I don't care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits'odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
4．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness
A．He lost the ability to keep balance.
B．His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C．He underwent two operations in a row.
D．His vision was accidentally damaged.
5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The author's efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B．The author's self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C．The different attitudes of the author's family to him.
D．The considerable impact of the author's brain injury.
6．How did the author find his talk with the boy
A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth.
7．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits' music
A．Music is the universal language of mankind.
B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
4．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear."神经瘤的切除导致了我暂时的平衡问题和一只耳朵的永久性听力损失；以及第二段中的"Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later."没想到几年后神经瘤又复发了。可知，作者单侧耳聋后，他的听神经瘤又长出来了。故选B。
5．考查段落大意。根据第三段"Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger."一夜之间，我的整个身份都变了。以前我可以毫不费力地一次跳两层楼梯，但现在需要十五分钟才能挣扎。恢复旧我的尝试被证明是徒劳的。我的家庭角色也从父亲转变为受抚养的孩子，再加上我的沟通问题，这导致我的沮丧和愤怒增加。可知，第三段主要讲了作者的脑损伤对他影响很大。故选D。
6．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself."第一次有一个陌生人像以前一样平等地和我说话。虽然当时微不足道，但它为人们以全新的方式被看待和看待自己打开了大门。可推知，作者认为与男孩的谈话改变了他的生活，让他以全新的方式看待自己，故选C。
7．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"For me, life after brain injury is like Waits'odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings."对我来说，脑损伤后的生活就像Waits的奇葩作品。从失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料中，可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀。可知，作者认为Waits的音乐作品让他懂得，失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀，这说明作者意识到自己经历的疾病苦难，会让他更加闪耀，可推知，作者从Tom Waits的音乐中学到的教训是：苦难常常会带来新的自我发现，故选B。
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When we ignore small tasks deliberately, they balloon from tiny checklist items into big annoyances. It could be a quick email or some boring paperwork-something that will only take a few minutes and yet, somehow, for some reasons, you keep on putting it off.
This is procrastination（拖延症）. People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose until the last minute, or past due date, although they're fully aware of the negative results. Typically, procrastination is caused by the lack of the ability to organize and plan how to divide time between different activities, but emotions can also be a factor, says Fuschia Sirois, a professor at the University of Sheffield.
It's easy to understand why we procrastinate on big tasks. They can be physically or mentally demanding and require lots of time and energy. However, small tasks can lead to a particularly annoying form of procrastination. This could be something as simple as making a phone call to a stranger. You are so unwilling and afraid that you might mess it up. This makes worry sit in your mind, reduces your ability to solve the problem and then leads to procrastination. "We don't procrastinate on tiny tasks because they slip our mind; rather, we make a conscious choice to put off something that might arouse doubt, fear or feelings of incompetence, says Sirois.
Another reason is that small tasks often don't have hard deadlines. So, it's easier to have an avoidance reaction because, unlike the big tasks, there's nothing to push us.
So, how to get small things done Sirois suggests we should move our attention from emotions to actions. "Sometimes, things are coloured by our emotions, " he explains. Once you actually begin a task, you might find it less stressful than you thought when you were procrastinating. And since a tiny task won't take long, rather than scheduling it, just get cracking. Don't let tiny things become big monsters.
8．What can we know about people who procrastinate
A．They manage to finish on time.
B．They underestimate the consequences.
C．They might put off work unintentionally.
D．They might have time management problems.
9．Why does the author mention "making a phone call" in paragraph 3
A．To make a comparison with big tasks.
B．To show small things can be physically demanding.
C．To provide an example of overcoming procrastination.
D．To prove procrastination can result from negative feelings.
10．What do the underlined words "get cracking" mean in the last paragraph
A．Make a plan. B．Set a deadline.
C．Take immediate action. D．Adopt a positive attitude.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Why Do We Put off Small Things
B．Why Do Small Things Make Us Worried
C．How Does Procrastination Affect Your Life
D．How Do Negative Feelings Become Procrastination
【答案】8．D

【知识点】词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；社会现象类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了我们拖延小事情的原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose until the last minute, or past due date, although they're fully aware of the negative results. Typically, procrastination is caused by the lack of the ability to organize and plan how to divide time between different activities, but emotions can also be a factor, says Fuschia Sirois, a professor at the University of Sheffield."拖延的人倾向于故意将任务推迟到最后一刻或过期日期，尽管他们完全意识到负面结果。谢菲尔德大学教授Fuschia Sirois表示，通常情况下，拖延症是由于缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力造成的，但情绪也可能是一个因素。可知，拖延的人故意将任务推迟到最后一刻或过期日期，他们缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力，可知，拖延的人可能存在时间管理问题。故选D。
9．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"However, small tasks can lead to a particularly annoying form of procrastination. This could be something as simple as making a phone call to a stranger. You are so unwilling and afraid that you might mess it up. This makes worry sit in your mind, reduces your ability to solve the problem and then leads to procrastination. "然而，小任务会导致一种特别恼人的拖延症。这可能就像给陌生人打电话一样简单。你是如此不愿意，也害怕你会把事情搞砸。这会让你心中充满忧虑，降低你解决问题的能力，进而导致拖延。可知，像给陌生人打电话这种小事，会让你心中充满忧虑，这是你的消极情绪，这进而降低你解决问题的能力，导致拖延。由此可推知，作者在第三段提到"打电话"这种小事是为了证明拖延可能是由消极情绪引起的。故选D。
10．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的"So, how to get small things done Sirois suggests we should move our attention from emotions to actions."那么，如何把小事做好呢？Sirois建议我们应该将注意力从情绪转移到行动上；以及"And since a tiny task won't take long, rather than scheduling it, just get cracking"由于一个小任务不会花很长时间，所以与其安排它，不如get cracking，可知，做好小事需要将注意力转移到行动上，可推知，小任务不会花很长时间，所以我们要立即采取行动解决它，划线短语get cracking意为"立即采取行动。"，故选C。
11．考查标题归纳。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了拖延小事的这种具体行为；第二段解释了拖延的人的做法以及拖延的原因——缺乏组织和计划如何在不同活动之间分配时间的能力是一个原因，情绪也可能是一个因素。第三段和第四段解释了推迟小事的原因；第五段介绍了我们该如何把小事做好，避免拖延。由此可知，文章主要介绍了我们为什么推迟小事的原因，"为什么我们要推迟小事？"适合作文章标题，故选A。
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Last month, a part of the Negro River in the Amazon rainforest reduced to a depth of just 12. 7 metres, its lowest level in 120 years, due to the lack of rainfall. In Lake Tefé, about 500 kilometres away, more than 150 river dolphins were found dead, not because of the low water levels, but probably because the lake had reached temperatures close to 40 C.
"The Amazon rainforest in northern Brazil is experiencing a tough time and it is the sum of three things, says Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil's National Institute. "The first is deforestation, which is turning rainforest into a drier, hotter place, she says.
"Additionally, El Ninio climate pattern has begun and it makes things worse, "adds Gatti. El Ni o is a phenomenon which occurs every two to seven years. During El Ni o, winds that usually blow from east to west along the equator（赤道） are weakened or even turn the other way round. This leads to the change of rainfall in South America, causing dry air in the north, where the rainforest lies, and damp air in the south. As a result, countries in the south are currently greeted by heavy rains, while the Amazon is experiencing the lowest rainfall levels from July to September in 40 years.
The third factor is the unusual warming of the water in the northern Atlantic Ocean. The warming of these waters causes the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone（热带辐合带）, a region of intense cloud and rain formation, to shift north. The ITCZ takes the storms with it, away from Brazil, and causes less rainfall than usual.
Although it is hard to predict when the next drought might strike the Amazon, studies show that climate change is messing with the timing of El Ni o. "The tendency is that we have stronger and more frequent crises, Gatti says. This could be a disaster for the Amazon rainforest, already hit by deforestation and a warming, drying climate. "The forest's tipping point is coming closer-and it's coming quick.
12．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A．The climate change and flood.
B．The extreme drought and heat.
C．The severe pollution and extinction.
D．The wildlife death and deforestation.
13．According to Gatti, why does El Ni o make things worse
A．The east wind brings hot air.
B．The west wind causes heavy rain.
C．The high temperature has decreased damp air.
D．The wind direction has affected the rainfall pattern.
14．What can be inferred about the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone from paragraph 4
A．It produces rainfall in Brazil.
B．It carries clouds to rainforest.
C．Its movement worsens the drought.
D．Its formation raises the water temperature.
15．What is Gatti's attitude to the future of the Amazon rainforest
A．Concerned. B．Unclear. C．Positive. D．Objective.

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；自然地理类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了亚马孙雨林极度干旱和炎热原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇地理类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Last month, a part of the Negro River in the Amazon rainforest reduced to a depth of just 12.7 metres, its lowest level in 120 years, due to the lack of rainfall. In Lake Tefé, about 500 kilometres away, more than 150 river dolphins were found dead, not because of the low water levels, but probably because the lake had reached temperatures close to 40 C.(上个月，由于降雨不足，亚马孙雨林内格罗河的部分水深降至仅12.7米，为120年来的最低水位。在大约500公里外的特菲湖（Lake Tefé），有超过150只河豚被发现死亡，这并不是因为水位低，而是因为湖水温度达到了接近40摄氏度)"可知，降雨不足，内格罗河的部分水深降至仅12.7米，且湖水温度达到了接近40摄氏度，结合第二段中"The first is deforestation, which is turning rainforest into a drier, hotter place(首先是森林砍伐，这使得雨林变得更加干燥、炎热)"可推知，作者在文章的开头描述了极度干旱和炎热的天气。故选B。
13．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"‘Additionally, El Ninio climate pattern has begun and it makes things worse,' adds Gatti. El Ni o is a phenomenon which occurs every two to seven years. During El Ni o, winds that usually blow from east to west along the equator (赤道) are weakened or even turn the other way round. This leads to the change of rainfall in South America, causing dry air in the north, where the rainforest lies, and damp air in the south.""此外，厄尔尼诺气候模式已经开始，这让事情变得更糟，"加蒂补充道。厄尔尼诺现象每两到七年就会发生一次。厄尔尼诺现象期间，通常沿赤道自东向西吹的风会减弱，甚至逆转。这导致南美洲降雨量的变化，导致热带雨林所在的北部空气干燥，而南部空气潮湿。可知，Gatti认为，厄尔尼诺现象会让事情变得更糟，这是因为风向影响了降雨模式。故选D。
14．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"The warming of these waters causes the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (热带辐合带), a region of intense cloud and rain formation, to shift north. The ITCZ takes the storms with it, away from Brazil, and causes less rainfall than usual."这些水域变暖导致热带辐合带（一个云雨密集的区域）向北移动。ITCZ将风暴带离巴西，导致降雨量比平常少。可知，热带辐合带将风暴带离巴西，导致降雨量比平常少，进而导致极度干旱和炎热。可推知，热带辐合带的移动加剧了干旱。故选C。
15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"‘The tendency is that we have stronger and more frequent crises,' Gatti says. This could be a disaster for the Amazon rainforest, already hit by deforestation and a warming, drying climate." 加蒂表示："趋势是我们面临的危机更加严重、更加频繁。对于已经受到森林砍伐和气候变暖、干燥影响的亚马孙雨林来说，这可能是一场灾难。"可推知，Gatti对亚马孙雨林的未来很担心。故选A。
二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读（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。

Engaging with clay is a comforting activity that can reduce stress and anxiety. The focus and concentration required to sculpt clay can quiet the mind and promote relaxation. In addition to its healing benefits, making pottery provides a comforting sensory experience. 17． This process also involves repetitive motions such as throwing, shaping, and coloring, which can provide a sense of control and accomplishment, boosting self-confidence and reducing negative thoughts.
18． We may spend hours beautifying our pieces, choosing colors that speak to us, and hoping they will look as we envision after firing. Sometimes they do, especially for the fortunate or skilled. But often, we must learn to accept imperfection. As the experienced potter Meg Biddle puts it, "It's finding that balance between control and unpredictability that gives me joy.
Creating with clay is an overall experience that engages our hands, fine motor skills, and imagination. It is an extension of ourselves, allowing us to shape the clay with raw emotions while making detailed decisions. 19．
In conclusion, pottery offers countless benefits for our well-being, including stress relief, creative expression, and the ability to let go. As we transform clay into a beautifully finished piece of art, we also take a step closer to our own transformation. Pottery is not just an art form. 20．
A. Working with clay means taking your time. B. But pottery is more than just a creative pursuit. C. It's also a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. D.

Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else on the earth. We wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the evening star drop behind the trees. However, our mother believed that we were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet. She had witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small conflicts. In her eyes, these were signs that we lacked the necessary responsibility.
One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Josie saw something. She pointed down toward a dark shadow, "What's that "
For one astonishing second, Josie and I stared at each other. Then we rushed down onto the doorway. There in our yard stood a black dog. Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. The dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, then a step back, not sure whether to trust us. She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone, and her coat was messy.
"We're going to have a dog!" My inside was full of excitement, just like before Christmas or our birthday.
"What's a good name " said Josie.
The perfect name wrote itself in my mind, "Shadow!"
The next day, we piled together all, the pocket money we had to buy all kinds of dog foods and hid it in various places because we were afraid Mom wouldn't approve that if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog.
That night, after our parents were asleep, we silently slipped downstairs to feed Shadow. We carefully poured the dog food into the bowl, trying to make as. little noise as possible. Shadow, who had been waiting eagerly by our side, wagged （摇晃） her tail. As we placed the bowl on the floor, a creaking （吱吱的） sound filled the house. Suddenly, the kitchen light was switched on, illuminating the room and revealing our 'shocked faces.
