There was one house in particular where I was tumned down that evening. Through the porch
windows I saw a man eating a big meat pie. I stood in the open door,and while he talked with
me, he went on eating.
Without looking up, he snapped out,"I don't believe you want to work.”I hadn't mentioned
高三年级英语试卷 第4页 共12页
work. I wanted to talk about“food”:In fact, I didn't want to work. I wanted to take the
westbound overland train that night.
“You wouldn't work if you had a chance,” he bullied.
I glanced at his gentle-faced wife,and knew that but for this Cerberus Pd have a slice of that
meat pie. So I sighed to myself and played his game.
“Of course I want work,”I bluffed(唬弄).
“All right,"he said.“Come to the corner of __and___streets”(I've forgotten the
address) tomorrow morming. Beside that burned building, work tossing bricks.”
“All right, sir, Ill be there.”
He returned to the pie. I waited. After a couple of minutes he looked up with an
I-thought-you-were-gone expression on his face,and demanded:
“Well ”
“I...I am waiting for something to eat,”I said gently.
"I knew it!IfI gave you something to eat now,Pd never see you again. Look at me. I owe
no man. I have never asked anyone for food. I have always eamed my food. You are idle'and
lazy. I can see it in your face. I have worked and been honest. I have made myself what I am.
And you can do the same,if you work and are honest.”
“Like you ” I asked.
“Yes, like me.”
“All of us ”
“Yes,all of you.”
“But if we all became like you,”I said,“ there'd be nobody to toss bricks for you.”
There was a flicker of a smile in his wife's eye. As for him,he was horrified—but whether at
the awful possibility that nobody would toss bricks for him or at my rudeness, I shall never know.

Our Earth is located on the inner edge of a spiral(螺旋的)arm within the Milky Way, but
this is not our permanent address. When most dinosaurs went extinct, our solar system was in a
completely different arm!Our galaxy(星系)is in a state of constant evolution.
Thirteen billion years ago, the gas and dust particles(分子)that eventually became our
Milky Way were moving quickly in every direction. Despite the wild motion of its parts, the galaxy
as a whole was spinning about an axis(轴). While their individual motions were chaotic, the
galaxy as a whole acquired all the particles and circled around a common axis. Meanwhile,
frequent crashes slowed the particles,allowing gravity to pull them inward.
So,why is the Milky Way flat The answer lies in the conservation of angular momentum(动
量).In dense(密度大的)objects like stars, internal pressure and gravity create a sphere. But
in a low-density, high-momentum system like a young galaxy, the spinning motion dominates. To
conserve momentum, particles could not fall directly inward but were forced to orbit,gradually
collapsing into a single, spinning disc over billions of years.
The Milky Way's spiral arms are not rigid structures, but dynamic squeezing waves. As these
waves travel through the galaxy's disc, they squeeze gas,starting the birth of bright young star
groups that outline the arms. The galaxy's spin then winds these waves into grand spirals. Our
solar system, orbiting faster than the wave pattern, is currently diving deeper into our local arm一
a journey through a single arm takes millions of years.
Recent observations even suggest spiral galaxies can host two or more crossing waves travelling
at.different speeds. The result would be that spiral arms last for tens or hundreds of millions of years
before breaking apart and re-forming. When the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago,our galaxy's
spirals may have looked entirely different than today. And in about 5 billion years, the Milky Way
will start to combine with the Andromeda galaxy and disturb the conservation of angular momentum,
thus creating an egg shape and giving rise to a new time in our galaxy's history.
28.What was the initial state of the particles that formed the Milky Way
A.Flying around randomly. B.Moving because of gravity.
C.Spinning around an axis rapidly. D.Crashing to gain momentum.
高三年级英语试卷 第6页 共12页
29.What is the primary reason given for the Milky Way's flat, disc-like shape
A.The high density of the Milky Way.
B.The need to maintain angular momentum.
C.The frequent crashes of gas and dust particles.
D.The dominance of internal pressure and gravity.
30.What can be inferred about the Milky Way's spiral arms
A.They are permanent features. B.They have new stars born there.
C.They are directly caused by the spin. D.They move faster than our solar system.
31.What is the passage mainly about
A.The evolution of the Milky Way. B.The crash between galaxies.
C.The formation of the solar system. D.The characteristics of spiral galaxies.

Upon observing the figure, one quickly sees it as a picture of a
sorrowful young boy—a judgment formed without deliberate thought. In
his work Thinking, Fast and Slow.(2011),Daniel Kahneman describes
the brain's cognitive(认知的)processes,naming two distinct systems:
System 1 and System 2. The photograph is an example of System 1
thinking, characterized by its. rapid, intuitive(直觉的),and largely
unconscious nature.
Now,attempt to mentally compute 18×26 within 30 seconds,
without external aids. Most individuals give up on this task,which is an
example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding, and requires conscious effort;
pupils even widen during such hard work.
Consider another puzzle:a bat and a ball together cost $1.10.The bat costs $1.00 more
than the ball. What is the bal's price Many instinctively answer 10 cents,an intuitive yet
incorrect response. The accurate answer is 5 cents.
While one might assume this mathematical problem engages System·2, the reality is that
System 1 typically answers first to any situation. Upon encountering the bat-and-ball problem,
System 1 readily supplies the intuitive answer. With the sense of completion it brings, System 2
often remains inactive.
Fundamentally, our cognitive machinery tends to save effort. From a biological and
evolutionary standpoint, intense mental activity uses a lot of glucose(葡萄糖)resources.
高三年级英语试卷 第7页 共12页
Furthermore,while deeply focused on finding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching
lion. Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automatic responses offered
by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeing to its suggestions.
This reliance on System 1 is generally helpful, enabling survival, processing vast information
flows,and making the world understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to make
instinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply and intuitively will likely
activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate by featuring a heartbreaking photo of a single
starving child. Conversely,needing careful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to
awaken System 2 like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, and its
swift, effortless answer carries the day.
32.What does the photo of the sad boy serve as in the text
A.An unreliable warning of intuition.
B.An example of System 1 rapid judgment.
C.Impact of sad photos on effortful thought.
D.Evidence of Daniel Kahneman's great insight.
33. What do the calculation 18×26 and the ball-and-bat question tell us
A.System 1 often fails.
B.Learning maths is hard.
C.System 2 involves hard work.
D.Systems always work together.
34.How did System 1 contribute to our survival during the evolution
A.It needs conscious effort for safety.
B.It produces literally correct answers.
C. It consumes less glucose and energy.
D.It gives quick reactions against danger.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The need for slow thinking.
B.A direction for the further study.
C.Potential applications of the finding.
D.Benefits of the two cognitive systems.

We've all heard that sitting too long is bad for you.36 In other words, we're not
designed to sit so much. Sitting can reduce our exercise gains and cause butt(臀部)discomfort,
and while it might not be“the new smoking”,excessive sitting can shorten your life.
Whether it's bone or joint health,muscle mass or energy level,much of what we perceive as
aging is heavily influenced by how much we sit.37__Average Americans sit per day may
be as long as nine and a half hours. Studies suggest women sit less than men do,but most agree
we all sit more than previous generations did.
38 Prolonged siting raises the risk of developing heart disease or stroke. And the
longer you sit, the higher risks it raises, especially if you are sitting for more than 10 hours.
Furthermore, your large leg muscles can stop activating after just 30 minutes of sitting, weakening
and causing back or knee pain. 39 Over time,a sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle can affect
your ability to control blood sugar and break down fat, potentially leading to weight gain and Type
2 diabetes. American workers today burn about 100 fewer calories per day than they did 50 years
ago.
One way to lower the risk is to add 15 to 30 minutes of physical activity per day to your
existing routine or go further, doubling the standard weekly exercise recommendations. If you can't
manage either, try adding small periods,spread throughout the day. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions
of pointing and bending each foot,seated toe raises and marching in place. Or try a quick exercise
snack. 40
A.The causes are various.
B.We're not evolved to do it.
C.We spend a lot of time sitting.
D.The consequences can be serious.
E.Better do something than nothing.
F.Sitting also doesn't burn much energy.
G.The more you sit, the more exercise you need.

As a talkative tour guide, I've always struggled with listening. I take notes everywhere一
museums,lectures, tours— collecting facts to41 later. So when I cruised(游轮)to
Greenland, I arrived with my usual 42 for collecting stories,completely unprepared for the
lesson I would receive on 43.
In Nuuk,I met Tina,an Inuit culturalist. She spoke with purpose and compassion, intentionally
but not 44 . Through Tina, I learned that Inuit culture doesn't just 45 silence—it embraces
it. She recalled her large family sitting together for hours,wordlessly enjoying each other's
46,or summers spent listening to birds and creeks without feeling the need to 47.
Until then, I had been constantly 48 facts and talking to everyone I met,49 my
reputation as a chatterbox. I asked Tina endless questions,which seemed to _50_her patience.
For the first time, I truly listened—not just to words, but to the silence in between. In the
following days on the cruise, I began to 51 invitations to converse. Sometimes a smile and
nod would work as a(n)52 response.
Later,while leading my own tours,I still sometimes 53 conversations. But this is when
I will stop and ask myself,“What would Tina do ”Though I still talk too much, the Greenland
experience did 54 how I engage with the world, thanks to Tina and the 55 silence she
taught me to treasure,and the new-found value of listening.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Years ago,my husband lost his job, and worse still, I lost mine too. Struggling to support
our two kids, he job hunted tirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was
hard to stay positive, but we did our best.
One day I found the milk in the fridge was lukewarm(温热的)but we could not afford to call
a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earn money,even a little,maybe to fix the fridge.
Later, I had lunch with a former coworker,who said I'd be good at teaching computer classes.
I was good at word processing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School.
Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom’s words,“Can't never could until he
tried.”So I decided to give it a try.
I wasn't sure where to start. Finally I finished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the
availability and the cost of a meeting room.After securing a room, I got local business addresses
from the Chamber of Commerce,typed them into my computer to make labels, and designed a
brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labels and stamps,and mailed them
after praying outside the post office.We could barely afford these costs,and I was filled with self-
doubt as I waited for responses.
On the third day,I got my first response—a check and two registrations. In two weeks,more
checks and registrations came. I had 17 students! I then rented computers but couldn't afford
delivery. My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.
The night before the first class day,while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my
notes. I went over every keystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my
explanations out loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn't run over. I prayed my passion would
make up for my lack of experience.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked.
As the class ended,students'positive words filled the room.

M: With their GPS as a paintbrush, they follow points on a map to make a single line across an area to create
the art. They enter the points into a fitness tracking app called Strava in advance, and the app then traces
their every move.
W: What if they make a mistake
M: Then the whole artwork has to be started all over again.
W: Well, this activity isn't suitable for me. I won't try it. I don't have a good sense of direction.
M: But it's very popular among artists worldwide now. So far, more than 18,000 pieces of such art have been
uploaded on the internet.
W: Well, I think it's a great activity for artists. It's a mix of art and exercise.
M: Right.

W: Good morning, Mr. Brown.
M: Good morning, Susan. Do you have any classes this morning
W: Yes, but it won't begin until 10:20am. What about you
M: I have no class this morning.
W: Great. Mr. Brown, could you give me some advice on how to give students feedback
M: Sure. Firstly, when giving feedback, be clear about what the students did well or what they need to improve.
Secondly, focus on effort. Rather than only praising or criticizing the result. Focus on the effort to achieve
it. Thirdly, if a student needs to improve in a particular area, offer suggestions for how to do so.
W: What kind of language do you think we should use when giving feedback
M: Use positive language, of course. For example, instead of saying "you're doing this wrong" say, "Let's try
it this way".
W: Thank you. Mr. Brown, you've helped a lot.
M: You're welcome.
W: By the way, would you like to have dinner with me this weekend
M: Thanks. But I try to avoid eating restaurant food because I have a weak stomach.
W: I'll cook. I'm good at Chinese food.
M: How can I say no to that
