B Every morning at 5 am when most people are asleep, a single figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapores until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives. During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less-privileged neighbourhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. Since the organisation’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy. As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them. 4 What best describes Mr Tay’s job? A. Professional. B. Demanding. C. Well-paid. D. Urgent. 5. What inspires Mr Tay to found Willing Hearts? A. Visits to the neighbourhood. B. Smiles from the less privileged. C. Encouragement from his wife. D. One service to the old lady. 6. What does the underlined word“compassionate”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Qualified. B. Sympathetic. C. Wealthy. D. Dynamic. 7. What is the main purpose in setting up Willing Hearts? A. To pick up different languages. B. To enhance unity within society. C. To encourage youths to assist the needy. D. To strengthen solid relationship with people. C When it comes to balancing the needs of humans and the needs of nature, historically it was “develop or conserve” or “develop or restore”. However, now conservation methods are increasingly focusing on coexistence with nature and ecological resilience (恢复力). The traditional model in coastal protection is that you build some kind of hard, fixed structures like a seawall, but conventional seawalls can have negative effects on biodiversity, habitats, nutrient cycling and the environment at large. “In this case, coastal protection and biodiversity are really at odds,” says Carter Smith, who researches coastal restoration. That’s where living shorelines come in. Living shorelines incorporate plants and natural materials like sand and rock to stabilize coastal areas and protect them from storms while also creating more natural habitats and minimizing environmental destruction. Smith and his colleagues studied how living shorelines performed during multiple hurricanes and found that living shorelines had significantly less “visible damage or erosion” compared to sites with conventional storm protection infrastructure. In addition to living shorelines, predators (捕食者) also play important roles in restoring ocean ecosystems. “One of the best examples we have of top predators facilitating ecosystems are tiger sharks in Australia,” says Prof. Brian Silliman, one of Smith’s colleagues. When the sharks are around, sea turtles eat fewer sea plants. “It’s not because the sharks eat a lot of sea turtles but because they scare them toward the shoreline.” When physical stressors like climate change reach a certain point in a given ecosystem, wildlife can rapidly decline. But wildlife that is adjusted to coexisting with a top predator may have a higher stress threshold (阈值). In our ever-changing world, the ability to adapt is as important as ever. “I think there’s great optimism and opportunity here,” Silliman says. “There is so much that we can learn from nature, and the more we can learn to coexist and to integrate our society with thriving ecosystems, the better it will be for everyone,” Smith agrees. 8. What is implied in paragraph 1? A. The balance between humans and nature. B. The improvement in ecological resilience. C. A promising consequence of nature restoration. D. A shift in the environmental protection strategy. 9. What’s the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To present Smith’s research achievements. B. To demonstrate the significance of shorelines. C. To explain the function of conventional seawalls. D. To show the problem of old-fashioned protection. 10. How do tiger sharks help restore the ocean ecosystem? A. By regulating sea turtles’ behavior. B. By influencing sea turtles’ population. C. By removing sea plants from their habitat. D. By preventing physical stressors occurring. 11. What tone do Silliman and Smith take in the last paragraph? A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Hopeful. D. Urgent. D The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. D. Share their treats with others. 13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ________. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit D. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains 14. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B. Protect the information environment. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Be selective information consumers. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups C. The Later the Better D. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get a Life Feeling happy with your life can be difficult. ____16____ If you are currently unhappy with some aspects of your life, you can commit to making changes throughout the year that will make you happier and healthier.

As with most large cities, the homeless population in my city often gathered on downtown corners, asking pedestrians for their spare change. Like many busy citizens, I had learned to ignore the nameless faces begging for money each day. My limited life experience had led me to one assumption — they were on the streets because they chose to be, probably due to alcohol or other similar things. But who would have thought that the first person to change the way I viewed humanity would be a completely stranger? My overall outlook on people took a 180-degree turn in less than ten minutes. I remember how particularly cold the weather had been that day. I saw one man sitting against a building holding a white cup in front of him. His shaky voice reached out to me as I hurried past. “Spare some change?” he asked. “I would really appreciate it.” I didn’t even bother looking up at his nameless face. “Sorry, no money on me today,” I made a lie as usual quickly, my eyes fixed on the ground ahead. Just a few feet past him, I slipped on the icy pavement and fell hard. I lay there for several moments, stunned and wondering if I had broken my leg. “Are you all right?” A voice came from above me. I looked up and it was the man I had just rushed past, concern written on his face. He reached down, trying to offer help. “You should get that checked by a doctor. This bus goes past the hospital,” he said, pointing to the bus sign above me. I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I hobbled to the nearby bus stop and quickly sat on the bench. A mix of emotions swelled within me — gratitude for his help, embarrassment for my earlier ignorance, and anxiety about getting to work on time. For a moment, I met his gaze, unsure of what to say. Then, a sudden realization crossed his face. 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。 Paragraph 1: “Ah, I forgot you didn’t have any money on you,” he said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the bus approaching, I quickly took several bills out of my purse. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 惠来一中2025届高三期中考试英语试题 本试卷共8页 考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分 第一部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Science Alliance: High School Program We are excited to announce the expansion of the Science Alliance Program to students in grades 9-12.

Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. ”（每天早上5点，当大多数人还在睡觉的时候，就有一个人在厨房里忙着为新加坡的穷人做饭，直到晚上。志愿者和四名全职厨师到了。日复一日，Tony Tay先生和他的团队准备、烹饪、打包并将食物送到岛上的各个地方。）可知，Tony Tay的工作时辛苦的，费力的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less-privileged neighbourhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts”（在一次他去收集蔬菜并把它们分发给一个不那么富裕的社区时，他的妻子注意到老人不收蔬菜。当被问及原因时，一个人回答说她不会做饭，所以只吃了送给她的米饭。然后，泰太太主动提出为她做饭，那一顿饭开创了Willing Hearts）可知，服务一位老人的经历激励了 Mr Tay创建了Willing Hearts。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families.”（这是为了鼓励他们成为更compassionate的人，了解照顾老人的重要性，并受到鼓舞，在自己的家庭中促进团结。）可知，Willing Hearts是帮助有需要的人，所以它鼓舞年轻人成为更有同情心的人。故划线意思是“有同情心的”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors.”（Tay先生希望通过Willing Hearts让年轻一代了解这个国家的民生，让他们亲眼目睹和体验关起门来发生的事情。）以及最后一段“Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them.”（尽管Willing Hearts的志愿者可能是一个不正规的小团体，但他们总是在关注穷人，向他们提供援助。）可知，建立Willing Hearts的主要目的是鼓励年轻人帮助有需要的人。故选C项。 C When it comes to balancing the needs of humans and the needs of nature, historically it was “develop or conserve” or “develop or restore”.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了有关部门改变了海岸线保护策略，人们已经认识到人类发展与生态保护并不是对立的，应该注重与自然共存和生态恢复。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“When it comes to balancing the needs of humans and the needs of nature, historically it was ‘develop or conserve’ or ‘develop or restore’. However, now conservation methods are increasingly focusing on coexistence with nature and ecological resilience.(当谈及平衡人类需求和自然需求时，在过去都是‘发展还是保护’或‘发展还是修复’的问题。然而，现在的保护方法越来越注重与自然共存和生态恢复力)”可知，环境保护策略发生了一个重大转变，把自然与经济发展对立起来考虑转变为考虑二者共存。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The traditional model in coastal protection is that you build some kind of hard, fixed structures like a seawall, but conventional seawalls can have negative effects on biodiversity, habitats, nutrient cycling and the environment at large.(传统的海岸保护模式是建造某种坚硬的固定结构，比如海堤，但传统的海堤会对生物多样性、栖息地、营养循环和整个环境产生负面影响)”及研究员所说“In this case, coastal protection and biodiversity are really at odds(在这种情况下，海岸保护和生物多样性确实是冲突的)”可知，第二段主要是指出传统的保护模式的弊端。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When the sharks are around, sea turtles eat fewer sea plants.(当鲨鱼在附近时，海龟吃的海洋植物就少了)”可知，虎鲨的出现控制了海龟的行为，使它们少吃海洋植物，这样对海洋生态的保护有益。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Silliman所说“I think there’s great optimism and opportunity here(我认为这里有很大的乐观和机会)”及Smith表示赞同的话“There is so much that we can learn from nature, and the more we can learn to coexist and to integrate our society with thriving ecosystems, the better it will be for everyone(我们可以从大自然中学到很多东西，我们越能学会共存，越能把我们的社会与繁荣的生态系统融合在一起，对每个人都越好)”可知，这两人对生态保护与人类社会共同融合的未来前景是充满希望的，是持乐观态度的。故选C项。 D The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. D. Share their treats with others. 13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ________. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit D. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains 14. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B. Protect the information environment. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Be selective information consumers. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups C. The Later, the Better D. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了斯坦福棉花糖实验及其对信息化时代成人行为的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. (每个孩子被告知，如果他们在吃这个糖果之前能等待15分钟，他们将得到第二个糖果)”可知，孩子们在米歇尔的测试中要得到第二个奖励，需要“延迟15分钟再吃”糖果。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. (但随着我们重塑周围的世界，大幅降低了获取热量的成本和努力，我们仍然拥有几千年前的大脑，这种不匹配正是我们许多人难以抵抗那些明知不该吃却极具诱惑力的食物的原因所在)” 可知，高热量世界和我们不变的大脑之间的不匹配”导致人们难以抗拒诱人的食物。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此，就像我们需要更加慎重地对待热量摄入一样，我们也需要更加慎重地对待信息摄入，抵制精神上的“垃圾食品”的诱惑，以便最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知，作者建议我们在信息使用上要有选择性，以有效管理时间。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，以及第二段“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. (作为成年人，我们每天都在面对一个版本的棉花糖测试。我们不是被甜食所诱惑，而是被我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑所吸引——这些设备将我们连接到一个全球性的各种信息传递系统，这些信息对我们产生的影响与棉花糖对学龄前儿童的影响相似)”可知，文章通过棉花糖测试引出信息化时代的成年人面临的自控挑战。“成人棉花糖测试”贴近主题，故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get a Life Feeling happy with your life can be difficult. ____16____ If you are currently unhappy with some aspects of your life, you can commit to making changes throughout the year that will make you happier and healthier.

As with most large cities, the homeless population in my city often gathered on downtown corners, asking pedestrians for their spare change. Like many busy citizens, I had learned to ignore the nameless faces begging for money each day. My limited life experience had led me to one assumption — they were on the streets because they chose to be, probably due to alcohol or other similar things. But who would have thought that the first person to change the way I viewed humanity would be a completely stranger? My overall outlook on people took a 180-degree turn in less than ten minutes. I remember how particularly cold the weather had been that day. I saw one man sitting against a building, holding a white cup in front of him. His shaky voice reached out to me as I hurried past. “Spare some change?” he asked. “I would really appreciate it.” I didn’t even bother looking up at his nameless face. “Sorry, no money on me today,” I made a lie as usual quickly, my eyes fixed on the ground ahead. Just a few feet past him, I slipped on the icy pavement and fell hard. I lay there for several moments, stunned and wondering if I had broken my leg. “Are you all right?” A voice came from above me. I looked up and it was the man I had just rushed past, concern written on his face. He reached down, trying to offer help. “You should get that checked by a doctor. This bus goes past the hospital,” he said, pointing to the bus sign above me. I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I hobbled to the nearby bus stop and quickly sat on the bench. A mix of emotions swelled within me — gratitude for his help, embarrassment for my earlier ignorance, and anxiety about getting to work on time. For a moment, I met his gaze, unsure of what to say.

Almost immediately, I watched as he fished out some coins from his white cup, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity. I was overwhelmed with guilt as I remembered the lie I had just told him only a few short minutes earlier. The coins shone like diamonds of humanity among the concrete jungle of the city and a mirror that reflected my selflessness and ignorance. “Sorry, actually,” I said, finding my voice, “I do have money.” I turned away from his offering hand, reached for my purse, and pulled it out. Seeing the bus approaching, I quickly took several bills out of my purse. I offered the bills to him with genuine respect and humility. The words tasted bitter as I admitted my dishonesty. His eyes widened slightly, but he didn’t look angry. I could feel he was hesitating, and just then, the bus approached. I pressed the money into his hands. “I appreciate your help, more than you know. Please do take this,” I said sincerely. He helped me to stand up and said “Thank you”, the simplest words that humbled me like never before. With a final nod, I limped towards the bus stop. Despite his gratitude, I didn’t feel forgiven for my actions. These bills seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a name to every nameless face. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者每天上下班经过市中心，习惯忽略街上的无家可归者。一天，他在冰上滑倒，一位刚被他忽视的流浪汉伸出援手，关心地帮助他。这次经历让作者重新审视了对流浪汉和人性的看法。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“‘啊，我忘了你身上没带钱，’他说。”可知，第一段可以描写流浪汉想给作者钱以帮助作者的行动、作者的尬尴反应。 ②由第二段句首内容“看到公共汽车开过来，我赶紧从钱包里拿出几张钞票。”可知，第二段可以描写作者给流浪汉钱的场景和愧疚心情。 2.续写线索：流浪汉掏出一些硬币—道歉—拿出几张钞票—收到感谢—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取出一些硬币：fish out some coins/ take out some coins ②闪耀：shine/ sparkle ③反映：reflect/ mirror 情绪类 ①内疚：guilt/ compunction ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Almost immediately, I watched as he fished out some coins from his white cup, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity.
