At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would
eventually steal his sight. There was no known timeline or cure. His parents chose to keep it
from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge.
At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building
models to working as a rubbish collector. Particularly, he fell in love with running and ran
高一英语试卷 第 3 页（共 9 页）
himself into the top spot at his school’s mile-long running race.
When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him. Bad eyesight made him
a laughing stock, so he discovered early how best to read the moods and behaviour of others. It
was a matter of survival in the school yard.
Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always
developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying
chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to
psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally,
he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to
make them feel relaxed.
In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. Toni claims mastering a fly rod
(飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the
work because they have to grab the hook (钩子).
Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground.
The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight
but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.”
24. Why didn’t Toni’s parents tell him the truth
A. Because he had already lost his sight.
B. Because they hoped him to be confident.
C. Because the disease could be cured one day.
D. Because there was no exact time for recovery.
25. How is the text mainly developed
A. By listing data.
B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By following time order.
26. Which of the following can best describe Toni
A. Dependent and sensitive. B. Irresponsible and rude.
C. Enthusiastic and brilliant. D. Generous and humorous.
27. What can we know from this passage
A. One kind act can make a big difference.
B. One can overcome limitations with passion.
C. Looking on the bright side helps us feel happy.
D. Life is full of ups and downs that we can’t change.
C
Most people can point to an experience in their lives where personal relationships have
caused them emotional harm. However, does building better relationships with others have to
involve the risk of getting hurt
One popular theory is the hedgehog’s dilemma, also called the porcupine’s dilemma. It has
its roots in the thinking of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who proposed that, even
with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have intimate and
friendly relationships.
It goes like this. One cold winter night, a group of porcupines gathered to keep warm, but
they hurt each other with their quills, forcing them to move apart. When feeling cold, they
moved closer, only to be hurt again. Repeatedly, they eventually found the ideal distance. So
the theory ends with the advice: Keep your distance.
However, keeping distance is not enough. If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that your
quills are up, and you’ve fallen into defence (防御) mode. Hilary, a psychologist, points to
高一英语试卷 第 4 页（共 9 页）
some examples of common defence mode such as going blank and regarding the present
reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions originate from early experiences of
hurt.
“In treatments, if people can be helped to recognize the defences by tracking back through
the personal experiences, they can be encouraged to be understanding. Then they have a chance
to change and not just repeat old behaviors,” Hilary suggests.“Defences need to be respected
and not knocked down in one step. Removing one brick at a time from the wall is very
important.”
Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in. So, when we learn to
lower our defences for safe, loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all.
28. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph
A. To give examples. B. To lead to a story.
C. To inspire reflection. D. To express concern.
29. What does the underlined word “intimate” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Permanent. B. Detailed.
C. Independent. D. Close.
30. What does Hilary advise people to do when bringing down defences
A. Address problems with patience.
B. Avoid discussing past experiences.
C. Immediately remove self-protection.
D. Accept the behaviour without changing.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. Psychology Today. B. Wildlife Focus.
C. Technology Review . D. Runner’s World.
D
Novelists have different ways of describing laughter. Characters can wear a big smile, be
all smiles, crack a smile, grin from ear to ear, break into a smile and so on. The richness of
language may suggest that laughter has limitless diversity(多样性). However, it may be wrong.
A new study led by Dr Roza Kamiloglu, provides evidence that there are just two main
types of laughter: one generated when people find something funny and one that can
be caused only through the physical act of tickling (挠痒痒).
Dr Kamiloglu instructed assistants to collect 887 videos that were then classified (分类),
ranging from tickle attacks to laughing for other factors. About 70% of these videos were used
to train a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to classify laughter by reasons. The algorithm was
then asked to classify the remaining 30% and correctly identified laughter produced by tickling
62.5% of the time. All other forms of laughter, whether they came from viewing stand-up
comedy or practical jokes, were difficult to tell apart. This suggested there was something
unique about the tickling laughter. When Dr Kamiloglu ran the experiment again, asking
human observers to classify the laughter, a similar result showed: Human observers correctly
identified tickling laughter 61.2% of the time.
The findings made scientists reflect on the roots of laughter. After all, humans are not the
only animals that can laugh and tickle. This points to the fact that laughter from tickling
evolved (演变) over 10 million years ago. This early sort of laughter probably evolved to
help primates (灵长目动物) build friendly relations. As for other forms of laughter, they
probably evolved millions of years after tickling, when human brain became complex enough
to understand deeper meanings.

32. What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The richness of human language. B. The approach to describing laughter.
C. The idea of countless kinds of laughter. D. The complexity of classifying laughter.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The contents of the videos.
B. The process of the research.
C. The methods of generating laughter.
D. The working principle of the algorithm.
34. What can we learn from the research findings
A. Tickling laughter evolved much later than others.
B. All the forms of laughter are difficult to tell apart.
C. Primates use tickling to build pleasant relationships.
D. Humans’ laughter is far more complex than primates’.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Origin of Laughter: All Starts from Tickling.
B. Laughter in Animals: How do Primates Build Relations
C. The Language of Laughter: How do Writers Describe Joy
D. Types of Laughter: Humans Laugh in Two Different Ways.

Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing, but it’s done on ice using special tools. For years,
ice climbing was just another part of rock climbing and other mountaineering activities.
Whenever climbers reached an icy area on the mountain, they had to move across the ice in
order to continue upward. 36
Due to the conditions in which ice climbing typically takes place, it is considered an
extreme sport. Ice climbers have to be outdoors in sub-zero temperatures for long periods of
time. 37 However, such risks only add to the delight of climbing on ice.
38 There’s something special in climbing sports, which is impermanent and
unique. When the temperature drops and the climbing routes come into season, climbers are
filled with excitement. They get their best equipment and go. When everything comes together,
the results are magical.
There are many barriers that would-be ice climbers face when they get into the adventure.
For a start, there’s the equipment and clothing to consider, all of which aren’t cheap. 39
You’re lucky if you live in an area with regular snowfall, while if you live in Florida, you’ve
got a long journey if you want to get into ice climbing.
The best way to begin your ice-climbing journey is to book a day or two with a qualified
instructor to show you techniques. 40 This will allow you to experience ice climbing
without costing too much. You’ll also likely have to bring your own warm clothing, like a
quality down jacket, to protect yourself from the cold.
A. Then, the locations matter.
B. Ice climbers typically work together.
C. You might be able to rent some tools.
D. Besides, they may encounter extreme weather.
E. The short existence of ice makes it more appealing.
F. Ice climbing keeps all the main features of rock climbing.
G. Slowly, the growing interest and excitement made ice climbing popular.

Foreigners are growing more aware that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has
scientific basis. The increasing global interest in using TCM 56 (address) health concerns
is helping remove its“mysterious”(神秘的) image and establish it as an effective medical
practice. One of 57 most striking examples of this change occurred when a foreigner
shared his live acupuncture (针灸) and bone-setting treatment in China.
Initially, many foreigners viewed TCM as a tradition-based practice 58 (lack)
scientific backing. However, direct experiences are 59 (gradual) changing this belief.

Overseas visitors often report positive results, and their stories are increasingly driving the
modern wave of TCM’s global popularity. 60 instance, a moxibustion clinic (艾灸馆)
has gained a devoted international following based on word-of-mouth recommendations about
their effectiveness. Meanwhile, a hospital hosts “Diplomatic Experience Days,” introducing
TCM to foreign diplomats through hands-on activities, 61 breaks cultural barriers.
Despite this progress, TCM faces communication challenges abroad. To share its cultural
depth with global audiences, various strategies 62 (use) so far. For example, the animated
film Ne Zha 2 features a scene where General Li Jing lists medicinal herbs, raising public 63
(aware) of TCM. TCM’s historical records proved 64 (it) effectiveness in ancient times,
and it remains a valuable role in modern healthcare. With 65 (far) development, its full
potential may be unlocked, bridging cultural gaps and improving global wellness.

The band room rang with Ms. Reed’s sharp voice. “Kevin, the soloist(独奏演员) broke his
arm. You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a
while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed
was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my
hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape.
Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right
Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m
sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife. I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth

Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my
home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple
of spiders (蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the
basement.
When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of
music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me.
“What if I freeze ” I was in low spirits for several days.
“You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came
along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she
suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I
just felt comfortable here, ” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why
can’t the school hall feel like your basement ” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a
photo of your basement ”

Dear Tom,
I am writing to share with you a special art class I had last Friday. My school organized a VR art class where we visited
a famous museum online.
Thanks to VR, we felt like we were actually in the museum, and the highlight was seeing Van Gogh's Sunflowers up
close. It shows sunflowers in a vase, mostly in three shades of yellow. The colours of the flowers range from bright yellows
to brownish yellows, showing that the flowers are at different stages of life.
What really amazed me was that I could examine tiny brushstrokes through the VR headset! Technology truly makes
art accessible. In a word, it was not just an art class but a moment of connecting art with technology.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. “Can you take a photo of me playing here " 1 asked excitedly. Jill smiled, “Of
course. Great minds think alike. I'm just planning about this.” Moments later, a photo of my basement was born with me
playing sax by my music stand. We taped it inside the bell of my sax. Every training day, I stared at the photo while
practicing. The more I focused on the familiar setting, the less seared I was. It seemed that I had faith in myself. Several
days later, the big day finally came.
When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. With butterflies in my stomach, I started to play
my sax. However, panic suddenly crept over me, my mind going blank, Then I saw it the photo on my sax, imagined
playing in my basement. Gradually, fear melted into a surge of confidence, and I performed as cool as a cucumber. When I
accomplished my performance, thunderous applause echoed through the hall. Jill gave me a thumbs-up and the Youth
Symphony's director nodded. I grinned back, my face glowing with pride. I realized that courage isn't the absence of fear
but the presence of confidence.
