B In 2014, my father, Michael, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties. A husband and father of three, Dad had a successful career running a painting studio and was always extremely creative. Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s, my father decided to keep painting. In art lessons, the class practised painting still life objects, like pears, but my father had other ideas for his inspiration, beginning producing abstract pieces, explaining it helped us to see the world differently. I realized he was right. Observing my father’s works, I could interpret each of them in many ways. Outside of work, he spent 15 years leading a band, Musical Chairs, which performed at the pub in Sydney’s Double Bay each week. When I became a mother, he developed a very close bond with my daughter, Portia. Even after his diagnosis, his passion for music remained unwavering, and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger. Unfortunately, in 2022, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live. As months turned to years, my father seemed a walking miracle, but his health was suffering. Knowing that he wanted to share his paintings with the world, I decided to organize an exhibition for him. By then he had painted 660 works. I hadn’t done anything like this before. When I was younger, my father always told me “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later”, so I figured this philosophy would guide me through. So in October last year, we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”, my father’s first public showing, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney. Everyone loved his works. I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence to call himself an artist at last. His eyes lit up with pride, seeing the walls filled with his works. I’ve got three of his pieces in my home and I can’t be more proud of what he has achieved. 4. What was Michael’s hobby? A. Running. B. Reading. C. Music. D. Photography. 5. Which of the following can best describe Michael? A. Outgoing and patient. B. Humorous and kind. C. Hardworking and honest. D. Creative and strong. 6. What was Michael’s exhibition like? A. Historic. B. Challenging. C. Impressive. D. Unattractive. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To honor her father. B. To prove her father’s ability. C. To show her pity to her father. D. To describe her father’s suffering. C While many animal populations seem to be dwindling one species that is moving in the opposite direction is America’s native wood stork (林鹳). The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population fell to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out by 2000．Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and US Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a deletion of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back? The success is in part down to the resourcefulness (智谋) of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah National Wildlife Refuge biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands. According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also the key factor to this recovery. In an email to National Public Radio, she said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species that call the area home.” The Endangered Species Act has saved many of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted (从表上剔除) as their populations become stable again. According to some local environmentalists, if the wood stork is delisted in the future, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable. 8. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Ageing. B. Dropping. C. Updating. D. Developing. 9. How did the scientists find wood stork’s situation in 1984? A. Amazing. B. Satisfying. C. Worrying. D. Boring. 10. How many reasons for the increase of wood stork are mentioned in the text? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 11. What can we know about the Endangered Species Act? A. It is harmful. B. It is costly. C. It is original. D. It is effective. D Two of the biggest challenges faced by new and potential electric vehicle (EV) drivers are range anxiety and the speed of charging. However, these shouldn’t have to be challenges at all. That is according to a study by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Delaware, USA. Researchers discovered that a change in refuelling mindset (观念模式), rather than improving the size or performance of the battery, could be the answer to these concerns. Researchers have now identified three different types of behaviour around refuelling a car. The first model is the monitoring fuel gauge (测量仪器) model — the driver refuels when the fuel is running out. The second model is the planning a trip model — the driver plans when and where they will stop to refuel their vehicle along a journey. The third model is the event-triggered model — the driver automatically plugs in (接通电源) as soon as arriving home or work. The first model represents how most people refuel a petrol car, and the third model is the best for EV usage. Experienced EV users have chosen an event or location to trigger their plug-in; for example, they will automatically plug in when they come home or get to work, so it becomes part of their morning or evening routine, which makes it less of a chore to think about charging. There is a lot of emphasis on the time it takes to charge an EV, but if you do it overnight, it is just the time it takes to plug it in. In conclusion, for most people’s everyday driving, the new study shows that you don’t have to think too much about charging at all. In terms of cost, it is also a lot cheaper to charge slowly overnight or at work than fast charging on the go, and it is better for the health of the battery. 12. In which part of a newspaper can you most likely to read the text? A. Culture. B. Technology. C. Fashion. D. Health. 13. What does the text advise EV drivers to do? A. Monitor fuel gauge occasionally. B. Think about the speed of charging. C. Charge EVs at night or during work. D. Plan their trips according to their cars. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. A bigger battery is the best solution to range anxiety. B. It’s difficult for drivers to remember to charge EVs. C. Fast charging is much cheaper than slow charging. D. Charging is not a concern for those wanting to buy EVs. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Choosing a better EV B. Petrol cars or electric cars? C. Slow charging or fast charging? D.

Tim, a curious and thoughtful teenager, was always eager to learn from his mother. One day, they walked into a cozy restaurant where they learned something important. The restaurant was filled with the smell of delicious food and the soft chatter of other diners. Sara and Tim found a quiet corner table by the wall. They settled down, excitedly discussing that day’s events and looking forward to the meal they had ordered. During their conversation, an elderly man, dressed in worn-out clothes, entered the restaurant. His hesitant steps and the way his eyes scanned the menu with a hint of longing caught Sara’s attention. He approached the counter and asked about the cheapest meal available softly. The waiter, with a polite smile, informed him of the prices, and the elderly man, with a sigh, decided to order just a bowl of rice. The elderly man took a seat at the table next to Sara and Tim. His back slightly stooped (弓背), as if carrying the weight of his struggles. As waiting for the food, the elderly man received a phone call from his daughter. He was using one of those old people’s mobile phones which sent out so loud noise that everyone around him could hear the conversation. The daughter’s voice, filled with concern, echoed (回荡) through the phone, and the man’s face lit up with a father’s love. He reassured her that he was doing well. When asked about his meal, he told his daughter he was having beef. It was a lie that was meant to spare her from worrying. Sara and Tim overheard the conversation. Tim, with his innocent curiosity, asked why the elderly man was telling the lie. Sara’s eyes welled up with tears, not of sadness, but of a deep understanding of the man’s difficult situation. She explained to Tim that sometimes, people tell kind-hearted lies to protect their loved ones from worry or sadness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Moved by the situation Sara decided to act. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the beef arrived, the elderly man’s eyes widened in surprise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 The Greenfield Nature Center introduces a new interactive program aimed at developing a love for nature in young children.

What can we know about the Endangered Species Act? A. It is harmful. B. It is costly. C. It is original. D. It is effective. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了美国本土的林鹳数量的增长及其原因，以及提议将林鹳从濒危物种名单中除名的背景。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“one species that is moving in the opposite direction is America’s native wood stork (林鹳).(有一种物种正朝着相反的方向移动，那就是美国本土的木鹳)”以及第二段“Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and US Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a deletion of the wood stork as an endangered species.(如今，它的交配数量达到了1万对，美国鱼类和野生动物管理局正提议将木鹳从濒危物种中删除)”可知，许多动物种群数量在减少，而林鹳数量却在增加，由此推测“dwindling”意为“Dropping（减少），故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population fell to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out by 2000.”（1984年，在其种群数量下降到只有5000对之后，它被宣布为濒危物种。当时，科学家预测到2000年这种鸟会完全灭绝）可知，1984年科学家认为林鹳的情况非常令人担忧，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork.（这种成功部分归功于林鹳的智谋）”以及第四段“According to Stephanie Kurose...the Endangered Species Act is also the key factor to this recovery.(根据Stephanie Kurose的说法……濒危物种法案也是这种复苏的关键因素)”可知，文中提到了两个林鹳种群增加的原因。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The Endangered Species Act has saved many of the species that were on the list since 1973.”（濒危物种法案自1973年以来拯救了许多濒临灭绝的物种。）可知，濒危物种法案是有效的。故选D。 D Two of the biggest challenges faced by new and potential electric vehicle (EV) drivers are range anxiety and the speed of charging. However, these shouldn’t have to be challenges at all. That is according to a study by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Delaware, USA. Researchers discovered that a change in refuelling mindset (观念模式), rather than improving the size or performance of the battery, could be the answer to these concerns. Researchers have now identified three different types of behaviour around refuelling a car. The first model is the monitoring fuel gauge (测量仪器) model — the driver refuels when the fuel is running out. The second model is the planning a trip model — the driver plans when and where they will stop to refuel their vehicle along a journey. The third model is the event-triggered model — the driver automatically plugs in (接通电源) as soon as arriving home or work. The first model represents how most people refuel a petrol car, and the third model is the best for EV usage. Experienced EV users have chosen an event or location to trigger their plug-in; for example, they will automatically plug in when they come home or get to work, so it becomes part of their morning or evening routine, which makes it less of a chore to think about charging. There is a lot of emphasis on the time it takes to charge an EV, but if you do it overnight, it is just the time it takes to plug it in. In conclusion, for most people’s everyday driving, the new study shows that you don’t have to think too much about charging at all. In terms of cost, it is also a lot cheaper to charge slowly overnight or at work than fast charging on the go, and it is better for the health of the battery. 12. In which part of a newspaper can you most likely to read the text? A. Culture. B. Technology. C. Fashion. D. Health. 13. What does the text advise EV drivers to do? A. Monitor fuel gauge occasionally. B. Think about the speed of charging. C. Charge EVs at night or during work. D. Plan their trips according to their cars. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. A bigger battery is the best solution to range anxiety. B. It’s difficult for drivers to remember to charge EVs. C. Fast charging is much cheaper than slow charging. D. Charging is not a concern for those wanting to buy EVs. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Choosing a better EV B. Petrol cars or electric cars? C. Slow charging or fast charging? D. Changing your refuelling mindset 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15.

Scientists describe trees with this unusual quality as marcescent (凋而不落的). Deciduous (落叶的) trees, such as maple, carry out the familiar ____37____ (season) cycle. New leaves bud in spring, mature through summer, and then die in the autumn and fall. Think of marcescent trees ____38____ a special case of deciduous trees— one that skips that last step. Rather than dropping immediately, the leaves of a marcescent tree hang on until wind ____39____ (eventual) knocks them down. We see ____40____ (example) of marcescence in trees, such as some willows and beech trees. As fall approaches, the leaves of a beech tree die. Then they cling to their branch tip and rattle in the cold wind all winter long. The reason for this odd plant ____41____ (behave) remains unclear. But scientists have theories. Marcescence may help protect against hungry herbivores (食草动物), for example, deer. During winter, food is scarce and hungry deer eat new branches of young trees. The unappetizing dead leaves of marcescent trees may stop deer ____42____ (damage) the trees. Another theory is that dead leaves provide a physical barrier that the deer must eat up the dead leaves ____43____ (reach) the juicy new growth underneath. In addition, studies suggest that marcescence helps control how quickly those leaves break down, ____44____ may in turn affect the rate at which nutrients are returned to the soil. Therefore, marcescence _____45_____ (play) a significant role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems. 【答案】36. but##while 37. seasonal 38. as 39. eventually 40. examples 41. behavior##behaviour 42 damaging 43. to reach 44. which 45. plays 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一些树是凋而不落的，这在生态系统内的养分循环中起着重要作用。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽夏去秋来，许多树的叶子变黄并落下，而有些树的叶子一直保持到春天。本空前后句构成了转折关系，或者对比关系。因此此处要填连词 but或 while。故填but/while。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：落叶树木，如枫树，进行着我们熟悉的季节循环。cycle是名词，这里要用seasonal作定语来修饰。故填seasonal。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：我们可以把凋而不落的树看作是落叶树的一个特例——它们跳过了最后一步。think of…as…是常用结构，意为“把…….看作……”。故填as。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：凋而不落的树的叶子不会立即掉落，而是一直挂在树上，直到风最终把它们吹下。副词eventually来修饰动词 knocks。故填eventually。 【40题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：我们在树木中看到凋而不落的例子，例如一些柳树和山毛榉树。example是可数名词，根据后面的some willows and beech trees可知，这里指的是多个例子。用复数形式作宾语。故填examples。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种奇怪的植物行为的原因尚不清楚。名词behavior或behaviour作介词for的宾语。故填behavior/behaviour。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：凋而不落的树的令人生厌的枯叶可能会阻止鹿对树木的破坏。stop sb/ sth doing sth是常见结构，意为“阻止某人/某物做某事”。故填damaging。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：另一种理论是，枯叶提供了一个物理屏障，鹿必须吃掉枯叶才能到达下面多汁的新生长物。这里要用一个不定式来表示目的，因此本空应该填to reach。故填to reach. 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：此外，研究表明，凋而不落有助于控制这些叶子分解的速度，这可能反过来影响营养物质返回土壤的速度。这是个非限制性定语从句，它的先行词是how quickly those leaves break down，作主语，因此关系代词为which。故填which。 【45题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：因此凋而不落在生态系统内的养分循环中起着重要作用。本句在陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。主语为marcescence，谓语为单数形式。故填plays。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 你校英语报正在举办征文比赛，请你以“How to Achieve Success”为题写一篇英语作文投稿，内容包括： 1. 你对成功的理解； 2. 你打算如何获得成功。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How to Achieve Success ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: How to Achieve Success In my opinion, success is more than just reaching high-level achievements.

Tim, a curious and thoughtful teenager, was always eager to learn from his mother. One day, they walked into a cozy restaurant where they learned something important. The restaurant was filled with the smell of delicious food and the soft chatter of other diners. Sara and Tim found a quiet corner table by the wall. They settled down, excitedly discussing that day’s events and looking forward to the meal they had ordered. During their conversation, an elderly man, dressed in worn-out clothes, entered the restaurant. His hesitant steps and the way his eyes scanned the menu with a hint of longing caught Sara’s attention. He approached the counter and asked about the cheapest meal available softly. The waiter, with a polite smile, informed him of the prices, and the elderly man, with a sigh, decided to order just a bowl of rice. The elderly man took a seat at the table next to Sara and Tim. His back slightly stooped (弓背), as if carrying the weight of his struggles. As waiting for the food, the elderly man received a phone call from his daughter. He was using one of those old people’s mobile phones which sent out so loud noise that everyone around him could hear the conversation. The daughter’s voice, filled with concern, echoed (回荡) through the phone, and the man’s face lit up with a father’s love. He reassured her that he was doing well. When asked about his meal, he told his daughter he was having beef. It was a lie that was meant to spare her from worrying. Sara and Tim overheard the conversation. Tim, with his innocent curiosity, asked why the elderly man was telling the lie. Sara’s eyes welled up with tears, not of sadness, but of a deep understanding of the man’s difficult situation. She explained to Tim that sometimes, people tell kind-hearted lies to protect their loved ones from worry or sadness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Moved by the situation, Sara decided to act. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the beef arrived, the elderly man’s eyes widened in surprise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Moved by the situation, Sara decided to act. She quietly ordered a plate of beef and vegetables for the elderly man and instructed the waiter to tell him that he was the lucky winner of a promotion. Sara explained to the waiter that she did that to preserve the old man’s dignity. The waiter agreed to help with a smile and appreciated Sara’s idea. Then the waiter went into the kitchen to tell the chef to cook a plate of beef. When the beef arrived, the elderly man’s eyes widened in surprise. He looked around, trying to find the source of this unexpected kindness. Sara and Tim just smiled at him from their table, and their hearts were filled with the joy of giving. The old man asked the waiter what had happened. The waiter bent down and whispered to the old man, “You are the lucky winner of today’s promotion. You can enjoy the meal for free.” The old man was surprised and thanked the waiter. Then he started to enjoy every bite of the delicious beef. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了善良的Sara总是教导儿子Tim同情和理解的重要性，有一天两人进入一家餐厅用餐。他们目睹了一位穿着破旧的老人因经济困难而点最便宜的餐点，并在与女儿通话时谎称自己在吃牛肉。Sara向Tim解释了这种善意谎言背后的原因，即为了保护所爱之人免受担忧。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sara被这种情况所感动，决定采取行动”可知，第一段可描写Sara为老人点了一份牛肉，请服务员以保护老人的尊严的方式告诉他这是一份幸运的奖品，以及服务员同意帮忙，开始准备牛肉。 ②由第二段首句内容“牛肉端上来时，老人惊讶地睁大了眼睛”可知，第二段可描写老人寻找给予善意的人，服务员说出善意的谎言，老人表示感谢，开始享受这一餐。 2. 续写线索：Sara决定采取行动——Sara为老人点餐，请服务员帮忙——服务员同意帮忙——牛肉被端上来——服务员说出善意的谎言——老人享用牛肉 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify ②保护：preserve/protect/safeguard ③同意做某事：agree to do/consent to do ④低声说：whisper/murmur/mutter 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sara explained to the waiter that she did that to preserve the old man’s dignity.
