No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences.When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.TypesIntroduction & ManagementApple:Hard CoreApple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport.Always stand up to them.Get to the point.Don’t take it personally.Watch and learn from them.Mango:Juicy and MessyMango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers.Talk big picture, avoid details.Give them false deadlines.Don’t micro-manage.Lemon:ConcentratedLemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. Respect their need for space.Don’t surprise them.Listen with respect.Show your pace.Banana:Sweet and GentleBanana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive.Don’t pressure them, motivate.Create a positive environment.Encourage regular feedback.Be nice to them.21. What do people of Mango and Lemon personalities have in common?A. They both prefer private space and specific deadlines.B. They both need regular feedback and being motivated.C. They both serve as good ice-breakers of the workplace.D. They both dislike being restricted by excessive rules.22. Who probably favors the Banana Personality?A.

In a book review.B. In a psychology magazine.C. In an academic paper.D. In an entertainment book.BThe scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orangey air spreading the red clay court.There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final.As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.”Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games.“ It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days.“ My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.”In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.”Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.”According to the passage, what is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng?A．She considered all tennis games to be equally important.B．She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training.C．She secured the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship.D．As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes.25. What does the underlined word “toppling” in the 6th paragraph mean?A．Defeating.B．Challenging.C．Discouraging.D．Declining.26. Which words can best describe Qinwen Zheng?A．Creative and independent.B．Strong-willed and reflective.C．Sincere and ambitious.D．Competent and idealistic.27. What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph?A．She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame.B．She takes pride in attaining the Olympic gold medal.C．She expects her achievement to motivate more people.D．She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match.CAre you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage.The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (亲和) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well- liked.The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study?A．Its findings.B．Its impact.C．Its limitations.D．Its significance.29. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings?A．A way to frighten competitors.B．A method to hide personalities.C．A tool to show personal quality. D．A strategy to settle disagreement.30. What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Copy.B．Interpret.C．RememberD．Overlook.31. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study?A．Always wearing a still face.B．Forcing a smile through tears.C．Speaking out inner emotions.D．Learning to be an open book.DThrough life’s journey, we inevitably encounter unpleasant emotions — anxiety, envy, fear, and frustration — that can cast a dark shadow over our mind. Many of us often shy away from these feelings, from adopting a sense of denial to turning to food or work as a distraction. We understand that constant joy is an unattainable goal. Yet, we often struggle with emotions that are less than positive. This disgust to negativity is rooted in our natural tendency to avoid or suppress (抑制) such feelings. These negative emotional states can create extra stress in your body and your mind, which is uncomfortable and can also lead to health issues if the stress becomes chronic or overwhelming.This in-built programming, inherited from our ancestors, directs us to avoid discomfort at all costs. However, suppressing our emotions often leads to unforeseen consequences. As Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, puts it, “When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line, causing numerous issues and symptoms, including headaches and anxiety.” Burying our unfavorable emotions not only influences our well- being but also keeps us from experiencing the benefits that embracing these emotions can bring. Indeed, recognizing and confronting uncomfortable feelings, rather than dismissing or suppressing them, is a sign of emotional health. Negative emotions are there to alert us that something needs to change and to motivate us to make that change. For example, anger and anxiety show that something needs to change and that perhaps our well- being has been threatened; fear is an appeal to increase your level of safety. Emotions, both positive and negative, play a vital role in our human experience. As Elena says, “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.”Why do people often try to avoid negative emotions?A．Humans are biologically programmed.B．People believe constant joy is achievable.C．Negative emotions are impossible to control.D．The benefits of negative emotions are neglected.33. According to Dr. Elena Touroni, what might happen when we bury our emotions?A．They magically disappear over time.B．They transform into positive emotions.C．They eventually cause physical problems.D．They make us stronger and more adaptable.34. Why are negative emotions important in our human experience?A．They help us avoid difficulties.B．They drive us to take action.C．They suppress the need to change.D．They indicate excellent mental health.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Holding back mental challengesB．Solutions to emotional barriersC．The healing power of emotionsD．Embracing unpleasant feelings第二节 （共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 36.__________ So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well. Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 37.__________Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). 38.__________ Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep. 39.__________ Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. 40.__________ For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.A．It can guarantee sufficient sleep.B．It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.C．The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.D．Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.E．This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.F．People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.G．Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分）第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a beautiful summer evening.

Evan was worried that he would never be able to get his “dream job” if the shop remained closed for too long.Mrs. Carter, an 85-year-old woman, spotted Evan looking in her shop’s direction and waved hello to him. Excitedly, Evan ran up to her and expressed his desire to work at the shop. Mrs.Carter laughed quietly, finding it amusing that an eight-year-old wanted a job. Evan confidently explained that since his dad passed away, he had learned how to do various tasks, like taking out the rubbish, making sandwiches, and assisting his mom, Stacey, with groceries. He didn’t want any payment for his work; instead, he simply wanted a bouquet (花束) for his mom’ s upcoming birthday. He believed in working hard for what he wanted, just as his mom had taught him.Impressed by Evan’s determination, Mrs. Carter agreed to hire him. She asked if he knew how to tie ribbons around flowers, and when she heard Evan’s affirmative(肯定的) response, they got down to making bouquets. Evan was excited to assist Mrs. Carter every evening for a whole week, and his presence brought joy to her boring work.Customers found Evan adorable and entertaining, which resulted in increased flower purchases and booming business for Mrs. Carter.On Evan’s last day, Mrs.Carter felt emotional. Their bond had grown strong, and she saw him as a grandchild. As she prepared a splendid bouquet for Evan’s mother, tears welled up in her eyes. She invited him to visit her shop in the future, and Evan promised to tell his mom about her.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。With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2024/2025学年度第一学期联盟校第一次学情调研检测高三年级英语参考答案及评分标准第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分，每小题1.5分)1-5 BACBA 6-10 CCBAB 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 AABCA阅读 (共两节，满分50分，每小题2.5分)21-23 DCB24-27 CABC 28-31 ADBD 32-35 ACBD36-40 EFDBG第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分）第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）41-45 CADDB46-50 ACABD51-55 CBBAD第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）has gone 57. with 58．creativity 59．is set 60．successfully 61．to uncover 62．While/Although/Though 63．whom 64．original 65．sharing写作 （共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15分）Last week, I participated in our school sports meeting, competing in the 400-meter race—athrilling and unforgettable experience.On hearing the sharp whistle, I dashed out, the wind rushing against my face and the crowd’s cheers echoing around me. My attempts to match the pace of fellow runners proved challenging, but I didn’t give up. I pushed myself to the limit and crossed the finishing line with all my strength.Through the race, I learned that doing sports contributes to our health both physically and mentally. Sports and health are inseparable!第二节 (满分25分)With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. On seeing the gift, his mom was astonished. The bouquet was huge and looked expensive. Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it. “Evan? Where did you get the money for this?” she asked, worried. With a big smile on his face, Evan told her the whole story and explained that he had once overheard Stacey’s conversations, learning she didn’t buy herself things to save money for him, so he made up his mind to give Mom a special gift for her birthday. Hearing the heartfelt words, mom was moved. She embraced him tightly, expressing her love and gratitude.As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. Worried that Mrs. Carter had made a mistake, Evan suggested returning the money. They went to the flower shop immediately and handed the envelope back to Mrs. Carter. Smiling warmly, Mrs. Carter explained that it wasn’t a mistake but a birthday gift for Evan’s mother. She insisted they keep it, saying it was Evan’s affection for his mom that touched her and that she decided to lend a hand. Moved by Mrs. Carter’s kindness, mom invited her for dinner that night and they celebrated Stacey’s birthday together.听力部分原文Text 1W: Hey, Bill. Did it feel great to travel somewhere warm?M: Oh, yes.

But I want to give a short speech about the past year. Since the summer, we all have been focusing our efforts on the goal of creating three new products by Chinese New Year. Now, it’s just before Christmas, and we’ve already achieved this goal. So, as this office’s general manager, I’d like to congratulate you all first.Second, I’ve communicated with the board members over the last few days, and we have decided that everyone will be going home with a holiday gift. I still remember the extra vacation days we got last year. But by the end of today, everyone will receive a significant holiday bonus. It will be twice as much as last year.

(在巴黎，郑钦文在通往金牌的道路上表现得异常出色，包括toppling世界排名第一的伊加斯维亚特克。)”可知，郑钦文获得了奥运会金牌，所以她在赢得金牌的道路上应该是击败头号种子伊加斯维亚特克，所以划线单词的意思应与“击败”意义相近。故选A项。26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.(我以不同的方式对待奥运会——情绪、斗志和心态。如果你让我再多待三个小时去战斗，我也能做到。)”和第六段中的“I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.(我知道我之前为什么输给她了。我打得匆忙，犯了太多的非受迫性错误。我想比她打得更快。我想证明我的能力。但在本届奥运会上，我并没有这样想。)”可知，郑钦文是一位意志坚定且善于反思的运动员。故选B项。27．推理判断题。根据第七段中的“If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.(如果你看我的网球比赛，并且它会给你的生活带来一些额外的力量，我会很高兴。)”可知，郑钦文说，如果她的比赛能给观众的生活带来一些额外的力量，她会很高兴的，由此可知，郑钦文希望自己的故事能激励到更多观众。故选C项。C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，这种优势可以转化为具体的社交利益。文章最后指出，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热烈的反应。28．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. (这项研究由诺丁汉特伦特大学社会科学学院研究员Eithne Kavanagh领导，有1300多名参与者。研究注意到人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异。重要的是，这种表现力成为一种稳定的个人品质。人们在不同的情境中、与不同的社交伙伴在一起时，甚至在长达四个月的时间段内，都表现出相似程度的面部表情丰富度。)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究发现人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异，而且是一种稳定的个人品质。因此，本段主要在讲这项研究的发现。故选A项。29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts.(在谈判任务中，更有表现力的人更有可能获得更大的奖励。研究人员建议，对于和蔼可亲的人来说，动态面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具)”可知，在谈判中，面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具，帮助有表现力的人获得更大利益。因此，面部表情在谈判环境中可能作为一种解决分歧的策略。故选D项。30．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’ suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. (表情丰富也与被认为更“可读”有关，这表明一张生动的脸让人的意图和精神状态更容易被decipher)”中“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’”可知，丰富的表情更“可读”，即更容易被理解和解读，所以“一张生动的脸更容易被人解读意图和精神状态”。划线词decipher与interpret同义，意为“解读”。故选B项。31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings challenge the ‘poker face’ common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. (这些发现挑战了‘扑克脸’的普遍信念，即静止不动、面无表情的外表总是最有利的。相反，它们表明，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应)”可知，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，所以对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应。因此作者可能建议我们要学会像一本打开的书一样，不要隐藏自己的情感和意图，要通过面部表情表达出来。故选D项。D【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了负面情绪在人类经验中的重要作用，它们帮助我们了解界限，保持安全，以及识别什么会伤害我们或让我们快乐。32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“These negative emotional states can create extra stress in your body and your mind, which is uncomfortable and can also lead to health issues if the stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. This in- built programming, inherited from our ancestors, directs us to avoid discomfort at all costs.”（这些消极的情绪状态会给你的身体和思想带来额外的压力，这会让你感到不舒服，如果压力变成慢性或压倒性的，还会导致健康问题。这种从我们祖先那里继承下来的内置编程，指导我们不惜一切代价避免不适。）可推知，人们总是试图避免负面情绪是因为人类是由生物编程决定的。故选A项。33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, puts it,“ When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line, causing numerous issues and symptoms, including headaches and anxiety.””（正如切尔西心理诊所的咨询心理学家埃琳娜图罗尼博士所说：“当我们把情绪埋藏起来时，它们不可避免地会在其他地方再次出现，引发许多问题和症状，包括头痛和焦虑。”）可推知，根据埃琳娜图罗尼博士的说法，当我们隐藏情绪时，它们最终会导致身体问题。故选C项。34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Negative emotions are there to alert us that something needs to change and to motivate us to make that change.”（消极情绪提醒我们需要改变，并激励我们做出改变。）可推知，负面情绪在我们的人类经历中如此重要是因为它们驱使我们采取行动。故选B项。35．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Emotions, both positive and negative, play a vital role in our human experience. As Elena says, “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.””（情绪，无论是积极的还是消极的，在我们人类的经历中都扮演着至关重要的角色。正如埃琳娜所说，“如果没有负面情绪，我们会努力知道自己的界限，如何保证自己的安全，什么会伤害我们，什么会让我们快乐。它们可以引导我们做出对我们长期有益的决定。”）可知，本文强调了负面情绪在人类经验中的重要作用，它们帮助我们了解界限，保持安全，以及识别什么会伤害我们或让我们快乐。因此本文的最佳标题是“拥抱不愉快的感觉”。故选D项。完形填空【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者遭遇车祸后，在家人和朋友的支持下积极康复，并从中领悟到人生真谛，最终创立公司帮助他人创造充满目的和幸福的生活的故事。41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但是突然，我们的夜晚因为一场残酷的迎面撞车事故而变成了灾难。42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我被紧急送往医院。43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：由于你的伤势严重，你可能走路都有困难，更不用说跳舞或参与运动了。44．考查动词短语辨析。句意：由于你的伤势严重，你可能走路都有困难，更不用说跳舞或参与运动了。45．考查名词词义辨析。根据下文“the support of my family and friends”和“I began the long and challenging road to recovery”可知，作者在家人和朋友的支持下开始了康复之路，说明作者自己也很有决心，很坚定。46．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我实际上不得不重新学习走路。47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在长时间坐着不动的日子里，我开始自我反思。48．考查名词词义辨析。根据上文“I examined my life’s choices and where my life was heading.”和下文“worrying about future events that has not happened yet”可推知，作者长期的自我审视和焦虑让他养成了对未来担忧的习惯。49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的消极想法导致了焦虑、头痛和缺乏自尊。50．考查名词词义辨析。根据下文“With time, not only did I dance and play basketball again, I also my entire way of life”可知，随着时间的推移，作者不仅重新跳舞和打篮球，还改变了整个生活方式，说明这场噩梦给了作者时间和空间去了解个人发展。51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：随着时间的推移，我不仅重新跳舞和打篮球，还彻底改变了我的整个生活方式。52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我学会了用希望取代绝望。53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：受到我积极变化的启发，30年后，我创立了Splendid Inspiration公司，帮助他人创造充满目的和幸福的生活。54．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果我们乐于改变，那么无论旅程多么艰难，都能引领我们发现生活的新视角。55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果我们乐于改变，那么无论旅程多么艰难，都能引领我们发现生活的新视角。
