例题1(2025 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新课标I 卷)英语真题B)In my ninth - grade writing class last
year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A's, and a modern -
day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found
myself wondering just how my students, who'd created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?”
Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis( 论
点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written
pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn't strike them as important. This would
have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health - related topic of their choice.
This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal - narrative unit
followed by a creative - writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre(体裁)
and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories,
10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students
demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook
full of messages about writing's most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another's
skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders.
B. Students' parents. C. Modern writers.
D. Fictional characters.
25. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time.
B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question.
D. They had little interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed.
B. Amazing
C. Similar.
D. Disturbing.
27. What does the author's experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.

Could you imagine being able to “feel” the images on your screen? UCSB researchers have made this sci-fi-
like idea a reality. They’ve developed a display where pixels(像素) physically rise off the surface when activated by
laser light(激光) .
Even our most advanced screens today have a limitation: they’re flat. We never quite feel what we see.
In 2021, UCSB professor Yon Visell investigated this very question: could light be made to create a sensation
that could be felt through touch? He saw a breakthrough in late 2022. A single pixel rose upward under a flash of
laser light, sending a pulse(脉冲) that was very much noticeable to Professor Visell’s fingertips.
At the heart of this invention are tiny pixels, which are tiny cells built with a thin film stretched above a small
air cavity(腔). When a quick pulse of laser light hits a pixel, the film heats up, causing the trapped air to expand,
making the surface swell upward in just 2 to 100 milliseconds, by about a millimeter (0.04 inch) .
As a sighted person, it does initially feel like something new and unusual. But the more I think about it, the
more it feels like it could have the most significant benefit to people who explore the world through touch. This
begins to look like a sort of “animated Braille( 动画盲文)” and tells a story in real-time. It could make digital
learning faster and richer for blind users.
Touch and sight have always lived in separate digital worlds. We input with touch, and consume outputs with
sight. With this new invention, this separation may just be narrowing. As the UCSB researchers put it, someday
soon, anything you see, you may also feel.
4. What makes the new display different from the screens today?
A. It sends out laser light.
B. Its pixels can expand upward.
C. It rises off fingertips.
D. Its pulses are unnoticeable.
5. Which aspect of the invention is talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Its working principle.
B. Its daily application.
C. Its obvious advantages. D. Its potential challenges.
6. Who will benefit most from the new display according to the author?
A. UCSB researchers.
B. Adventurous sighted people.
C. The visually disabled.
D. The digital enthusiasts.
7. What does the author imply about the invention in the last paragraph?
A. It may help replace sight with touch.
B. It may separate input from output.
C. It may help feel what is usually seen.
D. It may enlarge gaps between senses.

Our conversations define us and shape us as individuals.___1___ Just as an expert says, “The quality of our

us to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation. It also helps us to identify and avoid
harmful conversations. ___3___
When we have a real, face-to-face conversation and give our full attention, something special happens.

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。
Elena was the top member of the school’s Astronomy(天文) Club. She believed everything in space could be
explained with numbers and facts. Her notebooks were full of perfect star drawings. Her world of perfect rules,
however, was put to the test when the club advisor, Mr. Davis, asked her to work with Leo, who was also in the
Astronomy Club but drew messy pictures and lived by the idea that “how you feel is more important than being
exact.”
Their task was to make a poster for the school’s Stargazing( 观星) Night. “I want this poster to be both
accurate and imaginative,” said the teacher. “You know, that’s what astronomy is all about. It is science, but at the
same time, it’s a romantic story written in the stars.” Both Elena and Leo were confused. After all, one valued strict
accuracy above all, while the other chased pure creative expression.
Elena watched quietly as Leo cut a piece from her best star drawing and stuck it on paper covered in blue
paint.
“You’re ruining it,” Elena said. “The stars should stay in their proper positions.”
“No, they need to feel alive,” Leo replied, dipping his brush in white paint to add glowing stars magically.
Elena hesitated, then moved one of Leo’s colorful planets slightly to adjust it better.
“Hey, don’t change that!” Leo said quickly.
“I just want it to make sense,” Elena said, biting her lip.
They couldn’t agree, so they worked separately. Elena created a poster with perfect details, but it felt cold and
lifeless. Leo’s colorful design was full of energy, yet it didn’t clearly show the stars’ positions. Secretly looking at
each other’s work, they both wondered if work together could make the poster better. The day before the deadline,
they met in the empty classroom, their unfinished works side by side. Their eyes met. They felt no anger, only a
quiet understanding that something was still missing.

“We can’t make it if we work separately,” Elena spoke up first.
