Ahmed Muhammad, an 18-year-old high school student from California, realized how difficult it can be for
some kids to engage in science. He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked
them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing.
“Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get
them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This
moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to
science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.
“I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few
science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,”
Muhammad said.
Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I
noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,”
Muhammad explained.
He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the
profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially,
my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said.
Today, Muhammad has been accepted into Stanford University, and he is proud to have changed his cousins’
view on science while inspiring other kids.
4. What inspired Muhammad to create “Kits Cubed”
A. His cousins’ lack of interest in science.
B. His passion for doing science experiments.
C. His inability to get along well with his cousins.
D. His desire to help schools with science resources.
5. Why did Muhammad produce science kits at the beginning
A. To donate them to schools. B. To make his cousins happy.
C. To run his website smoothly. D. To promote scientific research.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Muhammad
A. Optimistic. B. Creative. C. Accessible. D. Modest.
7. Which can be the best title for this passage
A. “Kits Cubed” Helps Kids in Need B. Science Experiments Matter to Kids
C. Science Kits Bring Happiness to Kids D. Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D

As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they
gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective The short answer is
yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements
“illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is“farther
away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying“these ideas fit
together”. When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave
shape with your hands.
To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED
talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled
experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.
The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures
predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online“likes” of the videos. And in our
experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and
persuasive.
What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas
feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel
easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel
easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive.
But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving fidgeting (坐立
不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical
takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re
saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.
8. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To compare different types of gestures.
B. To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas.
C. To explain why gestures attract attention.
D. To list common mistakes in public speaking.
9. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
B. By judging the overall quality of talks.
C. By collecting online likes for some talks.
D By attending many live TED talks.
10. What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures
A. They give priority to visual meaning.
B. They notice more gestures than content.
C. They judge the speaker more favorably.
D. They show less interest in abstract ideas.
11. What is the author’s suggestion to speakers
A. Designing some gestures in advance.
B. Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant.
C. Reducing gestures to avoid distraction.
D. Focusing on the frequency of gestures.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
D
In recent years, a new type of relationship has become increasingly common among teenagers: parasocial (拟
社会的) relationships. But what exactly are they A parasocial relationship is a one-sided emotional connection
where a person feels close to someone they have never met in real life, such as a social media influencer, a celebrity,
or even an AI chatbot. Unlike real friendships, these relationships are not mutual — the other person has no idea
the relationship exists.
A study published in the Journal of Youth and adolescence surveyed 2,000 teenagers aged 15 to 18. It found
that 65% of them reported having at least one parasocial relationship. Among these, 30% said they spent over three
hours daily following their “idol” online, and 20% admitted feeling emotionally dependent on these figures. For
example, some teens said they would feel sad if their favorite influencer didn’t post updates, or would seek comfort
from AI chatbots when feeling lonely.
There are both positive and negative sides to these relationships. On the one hand, parasocial relationships can
provide emotional support. For teenagers who struggle with social anxiety or feel isolated, following someone they
admire can help them feel less alone. Some influencers also act as role models, encouraging teens to pursue their
dreams or adopt healthy habits. On the other hand, excessive engagement in parasocial relationships may harm
real-life social skills. Teens who spend too much time online may have less practice interacting with people
face-to-face, leading to difficulties in building and maintaining real friendships. Additionally, some teens may
develop unrealistic expectations of relationships, as parasocial bonds often lack the complexity and conflicts of real
human connections.
Experts suggest that parents and teachers should guide teenagers to balance online and offline interactions. It’s
important for teens to recognize that parasocial relationships are a form of entertainment or emotional escape, not a
replacement for real friendships. By encouraging open communication and supporting teens in building real-life
social networks, adults can help them develop healthy relationships.
12. What is a parasocial relationship according to the passage
A. A close bond between two teenagers who met online.
B. A real-life friendship with a celebrity.
C. An emotional connection with an AI chatbot who is unaware of it.
D. A mutual relationship with a social media influencer.
13. What does the study in Journal of Youth and adolescence show
A. Most teenagers have no parasocial relationships.
B. Parasocial relationships are harmful to all teenagers.
C. 20% of teens spend over three hours online daily.
D. Many teens rely on media figures for emotional support.
14. What does the underlined word “isolated” in the third paragraph mean
A. devoted B. separated C. annoyed D. motivated
15. What do experts advise parents and teachers to do
A. Help teens balance their digital and in-person social lives.
B. Encourage teens to replace real friends with online idols.
C. Discourage teens from having any parasocial relationships.
D. Ban teenagers from using social media.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A

The Hidden Benefits of Learning a Musical Instrument
It’s no secret that learning a musical instrument can be an enjoyable hobby. ___16___ Scientific studies have
shown that engaging with music profoundly impacts our brains and overall well-being in several surprising ways.
One of the most immediate impacts is on brain structure and function. Playing an instrument is like a full-body
workout for the brain. It requires the use of various brain regions at the same time: the visual cortex (皮层) for
reading music, the motor cortex for coordinating finger movements, and the auditory cortex for listening to the
sounds you produce. ___17___
Furthermore, the cognitive benefits are significant. Research has linked music education with improved
memory, better verbal skills, and enhanced mathematical abilities. The discipline and focus required to learn and
practice music can sharpen your mind. ___18___ Struggling with a difficult passage and finally mastering it
teaches resilience and the value of persistent effort.
___19___ Making music serves as an outlet for self-expression, allowing players to channel feelings like joy,
sadness, or excitement into their performance. Listening to the music you create can be a deeply soothing and
satisfying experience, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Finally, music is often a social activity. ___20___ It teaches teamwork, communication, and the joy of
creating something beautiful together. This shared experience can build confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
So, whether it’s the piano, guitar, violin, or even the drums, picking up an instrument is a gift that keeps on
giving. It’s not just about the music you make; it’s about building a stronger, healthier, and more connected you.
A. Moreover, the emotional advantages should not be overlooked.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to start learning an instrument at an early age.
C. Mastering a new piece of music provides a great sense of achievement.
D. Joining a band, or simply playing with friends connects you with others.
E. The mental activity improves the link between different parts of the brain.
F. However, the benefits go far beyond just being able to play a pleasant tune.
G. For many students, this increased focus can translate into better academic performance.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the
winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed
the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my
camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful
mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand
out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly
decreased. The further we went, the more impressive the scenery became. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I
hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen
lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay
in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around, trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested
stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection. A slight sense of unease crossed my mind, but the beauty of the
scene made me hesitate to stop him. Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s
feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the
lake, broken ice floating around him. His face was filled with fear, and his desperate shouts echoed across the
empty area. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意：（1）词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I froze for a second before coming to my senses.

【答案】I froze for a second before coming to my senses. Fear turned to sudden urgency. I looked around quickly
and spotted the thick branch I’d hung my camera bag on earlier. I ran over at once, pulling it off the tree with all
my strength. Rushing to the lake edge, I stretched the branch out to Jack and shouted loudly for him to grab it. His
shaking fingers finally grabbed the branch. I pulled with all my energy, trying my best to drag him out of the
freezing water.
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking. His wet clothes stuck to his body,
making him shake heavily and his lips turn pale with cold. I took off my warm coat to wrap him up, and then
brushed off the broken ice on his hair and clothes. I patted his back gently to calm him down, while my own legs
still shook with fear. We stared at the lake, knowing we were lucky to be safe. That common branch, once for my
camera bag, became our life-saving tool in the end.绵阳南山中学高 2023 级高三第六次教学质量检测

Ahmed Muhammad, an 18-year-old high school student from California, realized how difficult it can be for
some kids to engage in science. He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked
them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing.
“Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get
them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This
moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to
science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.
“I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few
science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,”
Muhammad said.
Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I
noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,”
Muhammad explained.
He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the
profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially,
my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said.
Today, Muhammad has been accepted into Stanford University, and he is proud to have changed his cousins’
view on science while inspiring other kids.
4. What inspired Muhammad to create “Kits Cubed”
A. His cousins’ lack of interest in science.
B. His passion for doing science experiments.
C. His inability to get along well with his cousins.
D. His desire to help schools with science resources.
5. Why did Muhammad produce science kits at the beginning
A. To donate them to schools. B. To make his cousins happy.
C. To run his website smoothly. D. To promote scientific research.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Muhammad
A. Optimistic. B. Creative. C. Accessible. D. Modest.
7. Which can be the best title for this passage
A. “Kits Cubed” Helps Kids in Need B. Science Experiments Matter to Kids
C. Science Kits Bring Happiness to Kids D. Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science

As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they
gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective The short answer is
yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements
“illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is“farther
away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying“these ideas fit
together”. When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave
shape with your hands.
To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED
talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled
experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.
The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures
predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online“likes” of the videos. And in our
experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and
persuasive.
What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas
feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel
easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel
easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive.
But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving fidgeting (坐立
不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical
takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re
saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.
8. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To compare different types of gestures.
B. To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas.
C. To explain why gestures attract attention.
D. To list common mistakes in public speaking.
9. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
B. By judging the overall quality of talks.
C. By collecting online likes for some talks.
D By attending many live TED talks.
10. What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures
A. They give priority to visual meaning.
B. They notice more gestures than content.
C. They judge the speaker more favorably.
D. They show less interest in abstract ideas.
11. What is the author’s suggestion to speakers
A. Designing some gestures in advance.
B. Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant.
C. Reducing gestures to avoid distraction.
D. Focusing on the frequency of gestures.
D
In recent years, a new type of relationship has become increasingly common among teenagers: parasocial (拟
社会的) relationships. But what exactly are they A parasocial relationship is a one-sided emotional connection
where a person feels close to someone they have never met in real life, such as a social media influencer, a celebrity,
or even an AI chatbot. Unlike real friendships, these relationships are not mutual — the other person has no idea
the relationship exists.
A study published in the Journal of Youth and adolescence surveyed 2,000 teenagers aged 15 to 18. It found
that 65% of them reported having at least one parasocial relationship. Among these, 30% said they spent over three
hours daily following their “idol” online, and 20% admitted feeling emotionally dependent on these figures. For
example, some teens said they would feel sad if their favorite influencer didn’t post updates, or would seek comfort
from AI chatbots when feeling lonely.
There are both positive and negative sides to these relationships. On the one hand, parasocial relationships can
provide emotional support. For teenagers who struggle with social anxiety or feel isolated, following someone they
admire can help them feel less alone. Some influencers also act as role models, encouraging teens to pursue their
dreams or adopt healthy habits. On the other hand, excessive engagement in parasocial relationships may harm
real-life social skills. Teens who spend too much time online may have less practice interacting with people
face-to-face, leading to difficulties in building and maintaining real friendships. Additionally, some teens may
develop unrealistic expectations of relationships, as parasocial bonds often lack the complexity and conflicts of real
human connections.
Experts suggest that parents and teachers should guide teenagers to balance online and offline interactions. It’s
important for teens to recognize that parasocial relationships are a form of entertainment or emotional escape, not a
replacement for real friendships. By encouraging open communication and supporting teens in building real-life
social networks, adults can help them develop healthy relationships.
12. What is a parasocial relationship according to the passage
A. A close bond between two teenagers who met online.
B. A real-life friendship with a celebrity.
C. An emotional connection with an AI chatbot who is unaware of it.
D. A mutual relationship with a social media influencer.
13. What does the study in Journal of Youth and adolescence show
A. Most teenagers have no parasocial relationships.
B. Parasocial relationships are harmful to all teenagers.
C. 20% of teens spend over three hours online daily.
D. Many teens rely on media figures for emotional support.
14. What does the underlined word “isolated” in the third paragraph mean
A. devoted B. separated C. annoyed D. motivated
15. What do experts advise parents and teachers to do
A. Help teens balance their digital and in-person social lives.
B. Encourage teens to replace real friends with online idols.
C. Discourage teens from having any parasocial relationships.
D. Ban teenagers from using social media.

The Hidden Benefits of Learning a Musical Instrument
It’s no secret that learning a musical instrument can be an enjoyable hobby. ___16___ Scientific studies have
shown that engaging with music profoundly impacts our brains and overall well-being in several surprising ways.
One of the most immediate impacts is on brain structure and function. Playing an instrument is like a full-body
workout for the brain. It requires the use of various brain regions at the same time: the visual cortex (皮层) for
reading music, the motor cortex for coordinating finger movements, and the auditory cortex for listening to the
sounds you produce. ___17___
Furthermore, the cognitive benefits are significant. Research has linked music education with improved
memory, better verbal skills, and enhanced mathematical abilities. The discipline and focus required to learn and
practice music can sharpen your mind. ___18___ Struggling with a difficult passage and finally mastering it
teaches resilience and the value of persistent effort.
___19___ Making music serves as an outlet for self-expression, allowing players to channel feelings like joy,
sadness, or excitement into their performance. Listening to the music you create can be a deeply soothing and
satisfying experience, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Finally, music is often a social activity. ___20___ It teaches teamwork, communication, and the joy of
creating something beautiful together. This shared experience can build confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
So, whether it’s the piano, guitar, violin, or even the drums, picking up an instrument is a gift that keeps on
giving. It’s not just about the music you make; it’s about building a stronger, healthier, and more connected you.
A. Moreover, the emotional advantages should not be overlooked.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to start learning an instrument at an early age.
C. Mastering a new piece of music provides a great sense of achievement.
D. Joining a band, or simply playing with friends connects you with others.
E. The mental activity improves the link between different parts of the brain.
F. However, the benefits go far beyond just being able to play a pleasant tune.
G. For many students, this increased focus can translate into better academic performance.

I made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the
winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed
the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my
camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful
mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand
out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly
decreased. The further we went, the more impressive the scenery became. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I
hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen
lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay
in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around, trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested
stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection. A slight sense of unease crossed my mind, but the beauty of the
scene made me hesitate to stop him. Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s
feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the
lake, broken ice floating around him. His face was filled with fear, and his desperate shouts echoed across the
empty area. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意：（1）词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I froze for a second before coming to my senses.
