第一节(共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30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。
A
Have you ever made a resolution to “study harder”, only to fall back into old habits within a week John Whitmore's Coaching for Performance provides the solution — the GROW model. This simple yet powerful framework (框架) stands for Goal, Reality, Options, and Will. It transforms fuzzy goals into concrete results by guiding you through each step of the process with clearer wishes.
Imagine a student transforming “I need better grades” into “I'll raise my algebra score from 72 to 85 by doing three extra practice problems daily.” This Goal-setting step creates measurable targets, just like an athlete aiming to cut two seconds off their time. The power of GROW emerges when we honestly face Reality — that same student might admit wasting 90 minutes on social media, while the athlete recognizes poor pacing. These self-assessments, achieved through guided reflection rather than criticism, reveal the true roadblocks to progress.
The Options phase shines as people create their own solutions. A nervous speaker might record speeches or join drama club — self-chosen strategies work best, far more effective than imposed advice. This leads naturally to the Will stage, where commitment turns plans into action. Our algebra student might schedule Sunday study sessions, while the runner commits to daily training. Such personalized plans generate real results-15% grade improvements or personal bests-because the drive comes from within, not from external pressure.
Whitmore's revolutionary insight redefines effective coaching: it's not about providing answers but about asking the right questions. This principle forms the foundation of the GROW model, which succeeds because it agrees with how human motivation actually works.
What makes Coaching for Performance so valuable is that it offers a structured yet flexible system. The GROW framework provides clear guidance while allowing for personal adaptation — a balance that explains its effectiveness. At its core, Whitmore's message is empowering: every individual already possesses the capacity for change. The GROW model simply provides the tools — strategic questioning, honest self-reflection, and actionable steps — to help people realize this potential.
1. What does the underlined word “fuzzy” mean in paragraph 1
A. Unclear. B. Impractical. C. Irrelevant. D. Overall.
2. What problem does the student recognize in the "Reality" stage
A. He lacks support from teachers. B. His study materials are ineffective.
C. He wastes time on social media. D. His self-assessments are unrealistic.
3. Why does the author mention the nervous speaker in paragraph 3
A. To emphasize the role of external pressure.
B. To criticize traditional public speaking training.
C. To illustrate the significance of professional advice.
D. To show how self-chosen strategies boost commitment.
4. What does the author think of Whitmore's book
A. It is a reflection of students' characters. B. It is a reminder of trusting humanity.
C. It is applicable to various challenges. D. It is instrumental to choosing careers.

The Great Sock Mystery
I had a serious problem. My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks Missing How peculiar!”
I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street.
In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them.
The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly.
Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock.
I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.
5. What drove the author to start the investigation
A. The sock drawer was often left open.
B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer.
C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks.
D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house.
6. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster
A. Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock.
B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits.
C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear.
D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks.
7. Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in paragraph 5
A. uninterested. B. uncertain. C. excited. D. confused.
8. What might the author do at last
A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks.
B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter.
C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster.
D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment.
C
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is blanketed in smog, rich in surface organic molecules (分子). However, its surface is extremely cold, around -179°C, making chemical reactions for life progress very slowly.
Scientists believe a vast liquid ocean, holding 12 times the volume of Earth’s oceans combined, exists deep underground where it’s warmer. Similar oceans may exist on moons like Jupiter’s moons Europa and Ganymede, where there could be liquid water, often suggesting possible life, but researcher Catherine Neish and her team challenge this idea.
Their research suggests that for Titan’s ocean to support life, a significant amount of organic molecules from the surface must reach it to start the chemistry needed for life. The main way this could happen is through comet (彗星) impacts. Impacts melt surface ice, creating pools of water mixed with organics. Because liquid water is denser than ice, these pools could sink. However, Neish’s models show comet strikes are too infrequent to deliver enough organic material.
Her team estimates only about 7,500 kilograms of simple amino acid (氨基酸) reach Titan’s ocean every year. While this sounds substantial, it’s equal to the mass of one male African elephant spread across an ocean with a dozen times the volume of Earth’s oceans, truly a drop in the ocean. Even in this most optimistic scenario, there’s not enough organics transported into Titan’s ocean to sustain life there.
Other possibilities exist, like some hot vents on the seafloor where water meets rock, making all kinds of molecules erupt and set off complex chemical reactions that could support life. Could similar internal sources provide organics on Titan Neish doesn’t rule this out, but points out a concern: organics from Titan’s interior might be mostly molecules with exceptional stability, which are difficult to transform into essential biological units like amino acids.
While directly exploring these oceans to find life is still far off, Neish’s research highlights the value of NASA’s planned Dragonfly mission to Titan. If Neish is correct, Dragonfly could find sites where comet impacts mixed water and organics, allowing scientists to study prebiological chemistry similar to what led to life on Earth.
9. What can make chemical reactions slow on Titan
A. The thick smog. B. The comet impacts.
C. The extreme climate. D. The absence of organics.
10. How does the author emphasize the insufficiency of organics
A. By listing different sources. B. By providing exact statistics.
C. By quoting experts’ opinions. D. By making a vivid comparison.
11. What can be inferred about internal organic sources from Titan
A. They contain enough liquid water.
B They have special chemical nature.
C. They contribute to life’s development.
D. They are identical to those on the Earth.
12. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Suitable Ground for Life. B. The Secret Leading to Life.
C. Prospects for Life on Titan. D. A Mission to Explore Titan.

Brandon, a father of two and an ordinary worker in a company, was making his way home on a typical Thursday evening. The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the sky. Brandon’s heart was filled with joy and excitement as he was eager to share the news of his recent promotion with his beloved wife and children. Little did he know that this particular Thursday would be anything but ordinary. All of a sudden, there was a faint ominous (不祥的) feeling around him, but he pushed aside any thoughts of potential danger, focusing instead on getting home. However, just as he arrived there, a thunderous noise shattered the peaceful silence of the evening. He looked up just in time to see a train running into a truck, sending debris flying in all directions.
It was an accident that he had never witnessed before. Brandon was frozen in shock. It was a messy scene as people ran from the dangerous site, hidden behind flames and thick smoke. In an instant, everything around him seemed to be in chaos. People were screaming and cracks filled the air with the explosive force. “Get away from that train! Don’t go near it!” warned the train conductor, as he called 911 for help. Brandon was about to run away when he heard a cry for help. Brandon’s instincts kicked in. Without a second thought, he raced towards the voice, pushing through the panicked crowd. His heart pounded in the chest as he approached the crash site. As he came closer, the cries for help became clearer. They were coming from the burning truck stuck on the train tracks. He ran up to the window and saw the young driver trapped in his seatbelt and held down by the steering wheel as the fire closed in around him.

The Great Sock Mystery
I had a serious problem. My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks Missing How peculiar!”
I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street.
In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them.
The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly.
Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock.
I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is blanketed in smog, rich in surface organic molecules (分子). However, its surface is extremely cold, around -179°C, making chemical reactions for life progress very slowly.
Scientists believe a vast liquid ocean, holding 12 times the volume of Earth’s oceans combined, exists deep underground where it’s warmer. Similar oceans may exist on moons like Jupiter’s moons Europa and Ganymede, where there could be liquid water, often suggesting possible life, but researcher Catherine Neish and her team challenge this idea.
Their research suggests that for Titan’s ocean to support life, a significant amount of organic molecules from the surface must reach it to start the chemistry needed for life. The main way this could happen is through comet (彗星) impacts. Impacts melt surface ice, creating pools of water mixed with organics. Because liquid water is denser than ice, these pools could sink. However, Neish’s models show comet strikes are too infrequent to deliver enough organic material.
Her team estimates only about 7,500 kilograms of simple amino acid (氨基酸) reach Titan’s ocean every year. While this sounds substantial, it’s equal to the mass of one male African elephant spread across an ocean with a dozen times the volume of Earth’s oceans, truly a drop in the ocean. Even in this most optimistic scenario, there’s not enough organics transported into Titan’s ocean to sustain life there.
Other possibilities exist, like some hot vents on the seafloor where water meets rock, making all kinds of molecules erupt and set off complex chemical reactions that could support life. Could similar internal sources provide organics on Titan Neish doesn’t rule this out, but points out a concern: organics from Titan’s interior might be mostly molecules with exceptional stability, which are difficult to transform into essential biological units like amino acids.
While directly exploring these oceans to find life is still far off, Neish’s research highlights the value of NASA’s planned Dragonfly mission to Titan. If Neish is correct, Dragonfly could find sites where comet impacts mixed water and organics, allowing scientists to study prebiological chemistry similar to what led to life on Earth.
9. What can make chemical reactions slow on Titan
A. The thick smog. B. The comet impacts.
C. The extreme climate. D. The absence of organics.
10. How does the author emphasize the insufficiency of organics
A. By listing different sources. B. By providing exact statistics.
C. By quoting experts’ opinions. D. By making a vivid comparison.
11. What can be inferred about internal organic sources from Titan
A. They contain enough liquid water.
B They have special chemical nature.
C. They contribute to life’s development.
D. They are identical to those on the Earth.
12. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Suitable Ground for Life. B. The Secret Leading to Life.
C. Prospects for Life on Titan. D. A Mission to Explore Titan.

59. 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。
Brandon, a father of two and an ordinary worker in a company, was making his way home on a typical Thursday evening. The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the sky. Brandon’s heart was filled with joy and excitement as he was eager to share the news of his recent promotion with his beloved wife and children. Little did he know that this particular Thursday would be anything but ordinary. All of a sudden, there was a faint ominous (不祥的) feeling around him, but he pushed aside any thoughts of potential danger, focusing instead on getting home. However, just as he arrived there, a thunderous noise shattered the peaceful silence of the evening. He looked up just in time to see a train running into a truck, sending debris flying in all directions.
It was an accident that he had never witnessed before. Brandon was frozen in shock. It was a messy scene as people ran from the dangerous site, hidden behind flames and thick smoke. In an instant, everything around him seemed to be in chaos. People were screaming and cracks filled the air with the explosive force. “Get away from that train! Don’t go near it!” warned the train conductor, as he called 911 for help. Brandon was about to run away when he heard a cry for help. Brandon’s instincts kicked in. Without a second thought, he raced towards the voice, pushing through the panicked crowd. His heart pounded in the chest as he approached the crash site. As he came closer, the cries for help became clearer. They were coming from the burning truck stuck on the train tracks. He ran up to the window and saw the young driver trapped in his seatbelt and held down by the steering wheel as the fire closed in around him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Brandon’s mind was racing when he saw the situation. Thoughts of his family flashed through his mind as he realized if he did the rescue, he would put his life at risk. Brandon took a deep breath and stepped back. Suddenly a sense of guilt washed over him at the sight of the trapped man. Brandon knew he had to act. He reached through the window, ignoring the pain from the burn on the hands. He tried to untie the seatbelt and helped the panicked young man break away from the steering wheel. Thankfully, the train conductor and some crew members were now rushing over to assist. Together, they managed to pull the young man out through the broken window and to safety. What a great relief to everyone at the crash site!
The train conductor came to Brandon and hugged him tightly. The conductor put his arms around Brandon, leading him away from the chaos. “You just saved more than one life. Your action is a great example of the value of bravery. You’re a true hero. What you did brought warmth to our hearts and tears to our eyes.” All of a sudden, thunderous applause burst out from the crowds. Brandon looked at the conductor, a mixture of emotions sweeping across his face. In his eyes, he just did what a responsible citizen should do. He was not a hero, and all he could think about was getting home to his family. He had news to share, and now he had a story to tell about how an ordinary man had done something extraordinary.
