（2024·厦门高一下质检）When Brad Ryan was young， he used to spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says，“I remember sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”
The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced， but then ran into each other 10 years later.Realising how much he liked his grandmother and missed that lost time， he made a plan to spend time with her.
About eight years ago， Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then she matter-of-factly said， ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains，’” Ryan recalls.“My heart broke for her.”
It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule， Ryan needed an escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan set up the tent.At 85， she had never slept in a tent before， but she climbed 2.3 miles on a trail， receiving high-fives all the way.
“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than anything I had ever done，” Ryan said.“Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel.”
In the past four years， they’ve travelled more than 25，000 miles across 38 states.So far， they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national parks， with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.
“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth， and it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with anyone else at this point.Of course we get tired and have our angry moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work through， but finally we get to where we need to be.” Ryan says.

I arrived home from work， my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment， but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was at the top of my agenda， and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts.So after dinner， I made a cup of hot chocolate， stretched myself on my sofa， and opened a novel.Almost instantly， my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters， magic dust， and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life.It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up， I was virtually never a big fan of novels.My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book， while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf.Instead， I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades.After I started graduate school， extra-curricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home.So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
My partner had a bookcase full of novels， so I figured， “Why not try fiction？” To help me stick with it， I made a New Year’s resolution：I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year.The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction， along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me most was how much I learned.Some of the best books I read were historical fiction — fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting.I learned about life in different countries， as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their history.The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding， with an unexpected benefit：I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it， heart and soul.
28.What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety？（ ）
A.He drowned it in chocolate. B.He conducted an experiment.
C.He slept on the sofa leisurely. D.He escaped into a fantasy world.
29.What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2？（ ）
A.Reading novels was a waste of time.
B.Reading a good book was time well spent.
C.He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D.The latest Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
30.How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author？（ ）
A.More sympathy went out to him. B.His moral values were strengthened.
C.He learned much about political diversity. D.He gained new insight into his academic discipline.
31.What’s the best title for the text？（ ）
A.Reading：A Lifelong Hobby B.The Power of Research Papers
C.Novels：Love at Second Sight D.The Benefits of History Reading
D
It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media， the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves.We tend to compare ourselves to influencers and celebrities — so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But， how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends’？Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at contents shared by celebrities， new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”.Additionally， it found that engaging with contents posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at contents posted by strangers， including celebrities.
Viren Swami， Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University， believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influencers， but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends， it feels like we should — or could — live the way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know， adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post，” he said.“At the same time， people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities， and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic.”
This isn’t just confined to body image though.We all have one area in our lives that triggers （触发） us.Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media， envying your school friend who just landed their dream role.Maybe ...
All this is to state the obvious： We only see part of people’s lives — and if it’s getting you down， you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides.Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone.So， put down your phone， get offline， be thankful and try to live your own life.
32.What did the new study find？（ ）
A.Social media invites unfavorable comments.
B.Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.
C.Celebrities have a negative influence on our lives.
D.Body image causes more concern than social life.
33.Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami？（ ）
A.Because they serve as role models.
B.Because we know the way they live.
C.Because their lifestyles seem to be accessible.
D.Because we are curious about their lives.
34.What does the underlined word “confined” in Paragraph 6 probably mean？（ ）
A.Restricted. B.Related.
C.Devoted. D.Exposed.
35.What does the author suggest people do？（ ）
A.Find your dream and fight for it.
B.Stop comparing and be yourself.
C.Be grateful and lead a perfect life.
D.Stop complaining and get down to work.

31.C 标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者由最开始几乎不喜欢读小说，到后来爱上读小说，并从中获益的故事。因此C项（小说：二见钟情）最适合作本文标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究，该研究发现朋友的帖子对人们的影响比名人的更大，让人们更容易与朋友进行比较。作者建议人们放下手机，心存感激，努力过好自己的生活。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at contents shared by celebrities可知，新研究发现朋友的帖子对我们的影响比名人的更大。
33.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influencers， but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends， it feels like we should — or could — live the way they do可知，根据斯瓦米的说法，我们更容易与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式似乎更容易得到。
34.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的We all have one area in our lives that triggers （触发） us.Maybe ...Maybe ...可知，画线词所在句的意思是：但这不仅仅局限于身体形象。所以画线词意为“受限制的”。
35.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone.So， put down your phone， get offline， be thankful and try to live your own life.可知，作者建议人们停止比较，做自己。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。表情符号在网络上无处不在。它们为什么受到人们的广泛欢迎呢？
36.G 上句提到表情符号的演绎和发展，而G项追溯了其源头，故G项符合语境。
37.E 下句提到表情符号进入了纽约现代艺术博物馆，这说明它们被人们视为艺术，故E项符合语境。
38.A 下文解释了人们喜欢表情符号的原因，因此But why？前必然是陈述了此事实，故A项符合语境。
39.D 上句指出人们跟自己喜欢的表情符号会有某种关联，也就是说，我们选择的表情符号会反映我们的性格。故D项符合语境。
40.F 上句提到在英国最受欢迎的表情符号包括“喜极而泣”“飞吻”和“红心”，这显然说明英国人还是很浪漫的。故F项符合语境。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Walter Mischel是斯坦福大学的心理学教授，文章简要介绍了他在20世纪60年代进行的享誉世界的棉花糖实验。
41.A Walter Mischel教授将一帮四岁的小孩召集到桌子周围。
42.A 如果孩子们愿意等到Walter Mischel教授回来，他将给每个孩子两颗棉花糖。
43.D 孩子们面临两种选择，后者是马上得到一颗棉花糖。
44.B Walter Mischel教授跟孩子们达成了协议。
45.B 教授一离开，有个别孩子就吃掉了自己的棉花糖。the moment he left＝as soon as he left。
46.C 还有一些孩子坚持了几分钟后也屈服于棉花糖的诱惑。
47.A 有几个小孩决心抵制诱惑，坚持到底。
48.D Walter Mischel教授回来后，给这些一直坚持下来的孩子一人两颗棉花糖。
49.A 实验结束后研究人员继续跟踪调查这些参与实验的孩子们的生活。
50.B 最后，研究人员得到了令人吃惊的结果：比起那些无法抵制棉花糖诱惑的孩子，那些能够抵制棉花糖诱惑的孩子在学习和生活方面表现都要好得多。
51.C 根据下文They were more confident， more popular， and more dependable.可知，能够抵制棉花糖诱惑的孩子无论在学校还是在生活中都表现更好。
52.C 与experiment一词可以搭配的动词有carry out， conduct， do， perform等。
53.A 根据上文实验的介绍可知，棉花糖实验的核心是检验孩子们延迟满足（delay satisfaction/gratification）的能力。
54.B 棉花糖实验证实：一个人年幼时延迟满足的能力会给未来带来积极的影响。
55.D 下文列举的减肥、戒烟等都是我们生活中的一些挑战。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了激发大家学习中文的兴趣而推出的一系列节目，并重点介绍了它的两个组成部分，展现艺术与中文之美。

第一节
Dear Miss Evans，
I was wondering if you could guide us to revise a short play adapted from our English textbook.
The story， The Million Pound Bank Note， is about the adventure of a poor young man who was given a million pound bank note by two rich gentlemen.When adapting the play， we met some difficulties.Could you kindly give us guidance on two aspects？ Firstly， we hope that you can check the use of the language for us.Secondly， please give us some direction on our acting and tones.
Would it be possible for us to meet in our classroom at 5 pm this Friday？ We are looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节
Mr Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved him.With tears in his eyes， he told her how her painting of the sunrise had profoundly touched him.Mr Zhang explained that he had been going through a tough time and that Mei’s painting reminded him of the beauty and hope in the world.He described how the warm colours and the image of the sun rising over the ocean gave him a sense of peace and comfort.Mr Zhang’s words made Mei realise that her works had a significant impact， reaching beyond just winning contests.
Mr Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s interest in painting.She started to see her art not just as a means to achieve personal recognition， but as a tool for healing and bringing joy to others.Mei began to paint with a new purpose， creating artworks that depicted scenes of hope and beauty.Her art soon became a source of warmth and inspiration in her community.Through her journey， Mei discovered the true essence of her art.It was not just about creating beautiful scenes on canvas， but about touching hearts and warming souls.

（2024·厦门高一下质检）When Brad Ryan was young， he used to
spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says，“I remember
sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”
The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced， but then
ran into each other 10 years later.Realising how much he liked his
grandmother and missed that lost time， he made a plan to spend time with
her.
About eight years ago， Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and
many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then
she matter-of-factly said， ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things
in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains，’” Ryan
recalls.“My heart broke for her.”
It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great
Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule， Ryan needed an
escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They
arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan
set up the tent.At 85， she had never slept in a tent before， but she
climbed 2.3 miles on a trail， receiving high-fives all the way.
“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than
anything I had ever done，” Ryan said.“Two years later I set up a
GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up
for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of
adventure and travel.”
In the past four years， they’ve travelled more than 25，000 miles
across 38 states.So far， they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national
parks， with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.
“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth， and
it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with
anyone else at this point.Of course we get tired and have our angry
moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work
through， but finally we get to where we need to be.” Ryan says.

C
I arrived home from work， my mind racing. I was scheduled to
perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment， but I had spent
the whole day worrying about the experiment which was at the top of my
agenda， and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts.So after
dinner， I made a cup of hot chocolate， stretched myself on my sofa，
and opened a novel.Almost instantly， my mind left behind the details of
experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters， magic dust，
and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily
life.It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up， I was virtually never a big fan of novels.My
classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book， while my
copy sat collecting dust on a shelf.Instead， I would choose to read
through the reference books related to my disciplines for better
grades.After I started graduate school， extra-curricular reading didn’t
appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting
research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing
fact-filled nonfiction books at home.So I knew that I needed to find a way
to enjoy reading again.
My partner had a bookcase full of novels， so I figured， “Why not
try fiction？” To help me stick with it， I made a New Year’s
resolution：I would read two fiction books per month for the entire
year.The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction， along with
many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my
schoolwork.
What surprised me most was how much I learned.Some of the best
books I read were historical fiction — fictional stories happening in a
realistic historical setting.I learned about life in different countries， as
well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their
history.The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding，
with an unexpected benefit：I’ve started to think more deeply about the
diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it， heart
and soul.

A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about political diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.

resolution ...ones that have benefited my schoolwork和第四段最后
一句可知，作者制订新年计划，即一整年每个月读两本小说。意
想不到的是，阅读小说使作者的课业受益，作者开始更深入地思
考科学界问题的多样性，并能全心全意地为之服务。再结合第一
段内容可知，作者所研究的内容与科学有关。由此可推知，新年
计划使作者对自己的学科有了新的见解。
31. What’s the best title for the text？（ ）

D
It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media，
the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves.We tend to compare ourselves
to influencers and celebrities — so it’s easy to understand how that can
affect our confidence.
But， how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your
friends’？Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more
damaging than looking at contents shared by celebrities， new research
has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that
any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower
“appearance satisfaction”.Additionally， it found that engaging with
contents posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as
damaging as looking at contents posted by strangers， including celebrities.
Viren Swami， Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin
University， believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain
the lives of celebrities or influencers， but when we’re comparing
ourselves to our friends， it feels like we should — or could — live the
way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post
showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from
someone they know， adding expectation or pressure on the person
engaging in the post，” he said.“At the same time， people may be
more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities，
and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic.”
This isn’t just confined to body image though.We all have one area
in our lives that triggers （触发） us.Maybe you’ve been searching for a
new job for months and you find yourself on social media， envying your
school friend who just landed their dream role.Maybe ...
All this is to state the obvious： We only see part of people’s
lives — and if it’s getting you down， you’re probably comparing your
insides to other people’s outsides.Everyone has their struggles and life is
indeed not perfect for anyone.So， put down your phone， get offline，
be thankful and try to live your own life.

（2024·郑州高一下期末）A picture speaks a thousand words.And
with over a thousand emoji （表情符号） pictures to represent our
words， who needs to speak or write any more？！ Let’s take a closer
look at the UK’s fastest-growing language.
According to Professor Vyv Evans of Bangor University， emoji is
the UK’s fastest-growing language — evolving faster than any language
in history.36.（ ） In the UK they are becoming more popular than
Internet abbreviations （缩写） like “lol” （laughing out loud），
“muah” （the sound of a kiss） or “xoxoxo” （hugs and
kisses）.37.（ ） In New York’s Museum of Modern Art you can
now see the first set of the 176 original emojis.
38. （ ） But why？ They allow us to personalise text and have
fun as we express ourselves， make people laugh and be creative in how
we use them.UK teenagers also told us they really appreciated the fact that
emojis are quick and easy.
People also really identify with their favourite emojis.39.（ ）
What does your recently used emoji board say about you？ Is it full of
party poppers （礼花） and smileys （笑脸）？ Or unhappy faces？ In
the UK， the most used emojis are “face with tears of joy” “face
blowing a kiss” and “love heart”.40.（ ） You can also tell a lot
about a culture from their emoji complaints.Until 2015 when the “cheese
wedge” arrived， British people were constantly complaining about the
lack of cheese！ Now， the addition of “bacon” in 2016 means we’re
very close to a full English breakfast.
A. We all seem to like emojis.
B. Emojis are more effective than words.
C. They make online chatting more colourful.
D. The emojis we choose can reflect our personality.
E. They have inspired fashion and are even recognised as art！
F. Maybe the British are more fun and romantic than people think！
G. These little electronic images started in Japanese mobile phones in the
1990s and are now hugely popular.

成一篇完整的短文。
（2024·河北省沧衡学校联盟高一检测）In a small Chinese
village， a young girl named Mei lived with a deep love for painting.Her
artworks， filled with lively colours， caught the beauty of her
surroundings.Despite her talent， Mei often battled with self-doubt.She
wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate.
One day， Mei heard about a painting contest in the town called the
“Sunlit Art Challenge”.Determined to prove herself and remove the
doubts， Mei quickly signed up for it.The contest stirred a mix of
excitement and nervousness in her.Mei spent countless hours perfecting
her painting technique， pouring her heart and soul into her works.
For the contest， Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea.The
sun just started to rise above the horizon （地平线）， its bright light
beginning to shine over the ocean.The sun’s rays looked like golden
light， spreading across the water and making it shine like a giant
mirror.As the sun rose higher， it looked like a bright ball of fire，
warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly.The sky changed
colours too， from a soft blue to bright oranges， pinks and reds.It was
like watching the day begin right there on her canvas （画布）.Mei’s
painting captured the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays
touching the vast ocean， symbolizing hope.
On the day of the contest， the village square was filled with
excitement.Artists from near and far displayed their works.Mei set up her
painting， feeling both proud and anxious.As the judges judged Mei’s
painting， her heart raced with nervousness.Since their expressions were
hard to read， Mei felt like her doubts were right that she wasn’t as good
as she hoped.
When the host started to announce the winners， Mei listened with
hope and curiosity.But sadly her name wasn’t called.Disappointment
washed over her， and she forced a smile， applauding the winners.After
the contest， Mei felt disheartened.She thought her painting had failed to
impress anyone， and she lost her motivation to lift her brush.At that
time， Mr Zhang， a villager， approached Mei.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Mr Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved
him.
Mr Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s
interest in painting.
参考范文：
Mr Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved
him.With tears in his eyes， he told her how her painting of the sunrise
had profoundly touched him.Mr Zhang explained that he had been going
through a tough time and that Mei’s painting reminded him of the beauty
and hope in the world.He described how the warm colours and the image
of the sun rising over the ocean gave him a sense of peace and comfort.Mr
Zhang’s words made Mei realise that her works had a significant
impact， reaching beyond just winning contests.
Mr Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s interest
in painting.She started to see her art not just as a means to achieve
personal recognition， but as a tool for healing and bringing joy to
others.Mei began to paint with a new purpose， creating artworks that
depicted scenes of hope and beauty.Her art soon became a source of
warmth and inspiration in her community.Through her journey， Mei
discovered the true essence of her art.It was not just about creating
beautiful scenes on canvas， but about touching hearts and warming souls.
