B I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied (欺凌) at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life. I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn't even come close to managing the problem. But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The very next day, I decided to get a dog — a corgi. When I brought my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn't realize how much he would change my life. It didn't happen right away, however. Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn't want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and gave up. That was when I saw Buddy. Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There's no time to be sad; the world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety and depression were strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a walk in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter, my life was changing. I really was a new girl. Sure, I still have days when I feel down or anxious. But with Buddy by my side, I've finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions. 4. According to the first two paragraphs, the author________. A. has been a school bully for years B. suffered from depression since college C. tried many ways to fight depression but nothing worked D. felt less depressed after taking medication and doing yoga 5 How did the author know having a dog might help with her depression? A. She read it in an article by chance. B. A doctor recommended it to her. C. She heard it from some other depression sufferers. D. She found out herself after spending some time with a corgi. 6. How does the author feel in the last paragraph? A. Optimistic. B. Anxious. C. Confused. D. Doubtful. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Puppy excitement B. Keeping a dog benefits us a lot C. Getting rid of anxiety D. Defeating depression with Buddy C Long before the scientific world became concerned about the impacts of introducing nonnative species, a total of 100 starlings (八哥) were released in New York City’s Central Park. Eugene Schieffelin was a Shakespeare lover who wanted to bring to America as many birds as possible mentioned by the Bard in his poems. He imported 60 starlings and released them on a March day in Central Park. A year later, he introduced an additional 40 birds. Within 50 years, they had spread to every state, and today they number an estimated 200 million. In San Diego County, the starling seems at home in both urban and agricultural environments, frequently feeding on the ground, where it probes lawns and fields for insects, worms and snails. Nesting begins in March and peaks in May when the young birds join large flocks in places like Lake Henshaw, dairy farms or Ramona Grasslands. They frequently take over the nest of other birds, and they don’t seem particular, having been observed nesting in many kinds of trees. In addition to competing with native species for food and nesting locations, there have been estimates that starlings cause at least MYM800 million in crop damage annually. Much of the damage they cause is the result of their concentration. Massive flocks of birds are, though beautiful, can be destructive, even dangerous to aircraft, with more than 800 incidents reported by the Federal Aviation Administration. Despite their bad press, the starling is popular with bird-watchers and also the Shakespeare lovers, who often refer to the starling probably because the bird is quite an imitator. It can imitate the calls of up to 20 other species, including hawks, robins and flickers. Love him or hate him, Schieffelin’s release of 100 European starlings had a lasting impact in the United States. He had no idea that he also proved the famous words of Shakespeare, “What’s done cannot be undone.” 8. What made Eugene Schieffelin introduce starlings into New York City? A. The descriptions in Shakespeare’s poems. B. The intention to protect local environment. C. The scientists’ concern about the worsening environment. D. The park visitors’ curiosity about a new bird species. 9. We can infer from the passage that ______. A the starling’s arrival has benefited the local farming B. the starling is highly adaptable to the local environment C. the starling is not so aggressive as the local bird species D. bird lovers have provided them with abundant food source 10. As for the local eco-system, the gathering of a large number of birds in a location can be ______. A. amazing B. impressive C. disgusting D. disastrous 11. “What’s done cannot be undone” at the end of the passage can be best explained as“______” A. The early bird catches the worm B. Spilt water can’t be gathered up C. Time and tide wait for no man D. Curiosity killed the cat D The idea of Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL, has attracted millions of shoppers with the promise of interest-free credit. An incredible 45 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK turned to BNPL last year, according to The Money Charity. Lenders say they offer a better deal than credit cards, because they do not charge interest but make money from affiliate deals (关联交易) with retailers (零售商). It may be a new way of borrowing money, but the old rules still apply: unless you repay the debt quickly, you are building up trouble for the future. Now, BNPLs are growing in popularity and do have upsides — mostly convenient shopping with no interest financing and no strict approval requirements. However, they also make it effortless to overshop, overspend, and get in over your head with credit problems. Lenders pay the retailer on your behalf, and then you repay over 30 days or three months, spreading the cost to help with your cash flow. They say this is fairer and less expensive than credit cards. That may be true, but BNPL has dangers, too. BNPL lenders may not charge any interest, but they still want you to pay back the money you have borrowed, so what if you can’t? Typically, you have 30 days to pay. If you don’t, your lender will contact you to chase late payments. If you still don’t pay, they call in the debt collectors. Citizens Advice says that 14 million used a BNPL product last year, but six million did not understand what they were signing up for. Some 26% of BNPL customers regretted their choice, while 41% struggled with repayment. Younger people were particularly at risk. A quarter of those making BNPL repayments couldn’t afford food, rent or bills as a result. Another worry is that BNPL lenders only perform soft searches on a person’s credit report, so do not see the borrower’s true credit status. This means they cannot remove people with financial problems and may end up adding to their troubles. BNPL lenders say they do careful checks to make sure they never lend more than a consumer can afford to pay back, and also pause accounts if a single payment is late. Nobody wants to be pursued by debt collectors. If you do use BNPL credit, never borrow more than you can afford to repay. 12. How do BNPL lenders earn profits according to the text? A. They force borrowers to pay their debts. B. They require payment for retailers’ services. C. They receive a certain fee from affiliate deals. D. They charge interest from 18 to 24-year-old users. 13. Why does BNPL become more and more popular? A. For strict approval requirements and no interest. B. For its convenience of shopping with high interest. C. For buying anything needed without credit problems. D. For convenient shopping and no strict approval requirements. 14. What problem does the Buy Now Pay Later method have? A. All the young people can’t repay the debt quickly. B. It is difficult to know the borrower’s real credit status. C. More than half of BNPL customers can’t afford the payments. D. BNPL has to depend on debt collectors to get back the money. 15. What do the underlined words “get in over your head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To make up your mind. B. To start to feel happy. C. To be involved in a difficult situation. D To show an indifferent attitude. 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。 Art education is important.

When I was in kindergarten, our class started such an adventure. And we decided to anonymously give the baskets to our mothers. For days, we worked on creating paper baskets, following a magic design shared by our teacher Miss Jones. Finally, we attached handles to the tops so that we could secretly hang our baskets on the doors of our houses to give our mothers a surprise. We finished right on time. Miss Jones brought bunches of colorful flowers for us to fill our baskets with. We had to wait until the day was nearly over before we were allowed to choose the flowers that were just right for our baskets. At last, I chose the biggest, most beautiful flowers, allowing myself to be selfish for my mother. When the bell rang, we threw on our coats, grabbed our schoolbags and then carefully held our offerings of love. And we ran back to our individual homes! I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill, across the street, up the block, heading home. After arrival, when I decided to hang the basket lovingly on our door, I was shocked that my flowers were gone! Apparently, on my way home, all the flowers ran out of the basket. Now, there was only an empty basket! I stood in front of the door and burst into tears. Soon, my mom came to the door to discover the source of the sadness. As she let me in, helped me off with my coat and relieved me of my school things, I tried to talk about my horrible dilemma (困境). Through sadness of hot tears, I tried to communicate the depth of my sorrow. As she listened, she wiped my face with a cool damp cloth and touched my hair with the other hand. Finally, I fell weakly into her arms. Next, she did what I would never forget. She took a knife from the kitchen and my poor little empty basket from the coffee table. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 Then, we went to our garden where there were flowers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Awkwardly, I hung the basket on our door, knocked hesitantly, and hid. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 AABBC 6-10 BACBC 11-15 ABCBA 16-20 CCAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 六安二中2025届高三第四次月考 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的考生号、姓名及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。如需要改动，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.请按照题号在各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4.保持答题卡卷面清洁，不折叠，不破损。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life. I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn't even come close to managing the problem. But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The very next day, I decided to get a dog — a corgi. When I brought my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn't realize how much he would change my life. It didn't happen right away, however. Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn't want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and gave up. That was when I saw Buddy. Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There's no time to be sad; the world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety and depression were strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a walk in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter, my life was changing. I really was a new girl. Sure, I still have days when I feel down or anxious. But with Buddy by my side, I've finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions. 4.

Eugene Schieffelin was a Shakespeare lover who wanted to bring to America as many birds as possible mentioned by the Bard in his poems. He imported 60 starlings and released them on a March day in Central Park. A year later, he introduced an additional 40 birds. Within 50 years they had spread to every state, and today they number an estimated 200 million. In San Diego County, the starling seems at home in both urban and agricultural environments, frequently feeding on the ground, where it probes lawns and fields for insects, worms and snails. Nesting begins in March and peaks in May when the young birds join large flocks in places like Lake Henshaw dairy farms or Ramona Grasslands. They frequently take over the nest of other birds, and they don’t seem particular, having been observed nesting in many kinds of trees. In addition to competing with native species for food and nesting locations, there have been estimates that starlings cause at least MYM800 million in crop damage annually. Much of the damage they cause is the result of their concentration. Massive flocks of birds are, though beautiful, can be destructive, even dangerous to aircraft, with more than 800 incidents reported by the Federal Aviation Administration. Despite their bad press, the starling is popular with bird-watchers and also the Shakespeare lovers, who often refer to the starling probably because the bird is quite an imitator. It can imitate the calls of up to 20 other species, including hawks, robins and flickers. Love him or hate him, Schieffelin’s release of 100 European starlings had a lasting impact in the United States. He had no idea that he also proved the famous words of Shakespeare, “What’s done cannot be undone.” 8. What made Eugene Schieffelin introduce starlings into New York City? A. The descriptions in Shakespeare’s poems. B. The intention to protect local environment. C. The scientists’ concern about the worsening environment. D. The park visitors’ curiosity about a new bird species. 9. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. the starling’s arrival has benefited the local farming B. the starling is highly adaptable to the local environment C. the starling is not so aggressive as the local bird species D. bird lovers have provided them with abundant food source 10. As for the local eco-system, the gathering of a large number of birds in a location can be ______. A. amazing B. impressive C. disgusting D. disastrous 11. “What’s done cannot be undone” at the end of the passage can be best explained as“______” A. The early bird catches the worm B. Spilt water can’t be gathered up C. Time and tide wait for no man D. Curiosity killed the cat 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了莎士比亚的爱好者Eugene Schieffelin将莎翁描述的八哥鸟带到美国后，该物种对于生态系统的影响及产生的危害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Eugene Schieffelin was a Shakespeare lover who wanted to bring to America as many birds as possible mentioned by the Bard in his poems.(Eugene Schieffelin是莎士比亚的爱好者，他想把莎士比亚在他的诗中提到的尽可能多的鸟带到美国)”可知，Eugene Schieffelin是莎士比亚的忠实读者，他希望把莎士比亚诗中众多八哥的场景带到美国人民现实生活中。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Within 50 years, they had spread to every state, and today they number an estimated 200 million. In San Diego County, the starling seems at home in both urban and agricultural environments, frequently feeding on the ground, where it probes lawns and fields for insects, worms and snails.(在50年内，它们已经扩散到每个州，今天它们的数量估计有2亿。在圣地亚哥县，八哥似乎在城市和农业环境中都很自在，它们经常在地面上觅食，在草地和田野里寻找昆虫、蠕虫和蜗牛)”可知，八哥的适应能力很强，在城市和农业环境中它们都可以安家落户生活。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In addition to competing with native species for food and nesting locations, there have been estimates that starlings cause at least MYM800 million in crop damage annually. Much of the damage they cause is the result of their concentration. Massive flocks of birds are, though beautiful, can be destructive, even dangerous to aircraft, with more than 800 incidents reported by the Federal Aviation Administration.(除了与本土物种争夺食物和筑巢地点外，据估计，八哥每年至少造成8亿美元的农作物损失。它们造成的大部分损害是它们集中的结果。大量的鸟群虽然美丽，但对飞机来说可能是破坏性的，甚至是危险的，美国联邦航空管理局报告了800多起事故)”可知，八哥的大量聚集给当地的生态特别是庄稼造成了极大的损失，破坏性极强，甚至威胁到航班的安全，所以它们的大量聚集是灾难性的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文对于鸟类的危害的描述及最后一段中“Love him or hate him, Schieffelin’s release of 100 European starlings had a lasting impact in the United States.(不管你爱他还是恨他，Schieffelin放生的100只欧洲八哥对美国产生了持久的影响)”可知，Eugene Schieffelin对莎士比亚的热爱给当地生态带来了破坏，他没有意识到这对于美国的长期影响。但是，有些事情是无法挽回的。所以B项“覆水难收”符合其意思。故选B。 D The idea of Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL, has attracted millions of shoppers with the promise of interest-free credit. An incredible 45 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK turned to BNPL last year, according to The Money Charity. Lenders say they offer a better deal than credit cards, because they do not charge interest but make money from affiliate deals (关联交易) with retailers (零售商). It may be a new way of borrowing money, but the old rules still apply: unless you repay the debt quickly, you are building up trouble for the future. Now, BNPLs are growing in popularity and do have upsides — mostly convenient shopping with no interest financing and no strict approval requirements. However, they also make it effortless to overshop, overspend, and get in over your head with credit problems. Lenders pay the retailer on your behalf, and then you repay over 30 days or three months, spreading the cost to help with your cash flow. They say this is fairer and less expensive than credit cards. That may be true, but BNPL has dangers, too. BNPL lenders may not charge any interest, but they still want you to pay back the money you have borrowed, so what if you can’t? Typically, you have 30 days to pay. If you don’t, your lender will contact you to chase late payments. If you still don’t pay, they call in the debt collectors. Citizens Advice says that 14 million used a BNPL product last year, but six million did not understand what they were signing up for. Some 26% of BNPL customers regretted their choice, while 41% struggled with repayment. Younger people were particularly at risk. A quarter of those making BNPL repayments couldn’t afford food, rent or bills as a result. Another worry is that BNPL lenders only perform soft searches on a person’s credit report, so do not see the borrower’s true credit status. This means they cannot remove people with financial problems and may end up adding to their troubles. BNPL lenders say they do careful checks to make sure they never lend more than a consumer can afford to pay back, and also pause accounts if a single payment is late. Nobody wants to be pursued by debt collectors. If you do use BNPL credit, never borrow more than you can afford to repay. 12. How do BNPL lenders earn profits according to the text? A. They force borrowers to pay their debts. B. They require payment for retailers’ services. C. They receive a certain fee from affiliate deals. D. They charge interest from 18 to 24-year-old users. 13. Why does BNPL become more and more popular? A. For strict approval requirements and no interest. B. For its convenience of shopping with high interest. C. For buying anything needed without credit problems. D. For convenient shopping and no strict approval requirements. 14. What problem does the Buy Now Pay Later method have? A. All the young people can’t repay the debt quickly. B. It is difficult to know the borrower’s real credit status. C. More than half of BNPL customers can’t afford the payments. D. BNPL has to depend on debt collectors to get back the money. 15. What do the underlined words “get in over your head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To make up your mind. B. To start to feel happy. C. To be involved in a difficult situation. D. To show an indifferent attitude. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国目前很受欢迎的BNPL，并介绍了其优缺点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Lenders say they offer a better deal than credit cards, because they do not charge interest but make money from affiliate deals (关联交易) with retailers (零售商).(放款人说，他们提供的交易比信用卡更好，因为他们不收取利息，而且还能从与零售商的关联交易中赚钱。)”可知，放款人从与零售商的关联交易中赚钱。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Now, BNPLs are growing in popularity and do have upsides — mostly convenient shopping with no interest financing and no strict approval requirements.(现在，BNPL越来越受欢迎，而且确实有好处——主要是购物方便，没有利息融资，也没有严格的审批要求。)”可知，BNPL越来越受欢迎是因为其购物方便，没有利息，而且审批要求不严格。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Another worry is that BNPL lenders only perform soft searches on a person’s credit report, so do not see the borrower’s true credit status.(另一个担忧是BNPL贷方只对一个人的信用报告进行软搜索，因此看不到借款人的真实信用状态。)”可知，BNPL的一个问题就是无法得知借款人的真实信用状态。故选B。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“they also make it effortless to overshop, overspend(它们也使你毫不费力地过度购物，超支)”可推断，如果过度购物，超支，那么极有可能陷入信用困境。由此可知，划线词组指的是困境。选项C“To be involved in a difficult situation.(陷入困境)”符合句意。故选C。 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。 Art education is important.

When I was in kindergarten, our class started such an adventure. And we decided to anonymously give the baskets to our mothers. For days, we worked on creating paper baskets, following a magic design shared by our teacher Miss Jones. Finally, we attached handles to the tops so that we could secretly hang our baskets on the doors of our houses to give our mothers a surprise. We finished right on time. Miss Jones brought bunches of colorful flowers for us to fill our baskets with. We had to wait until the day was nearly over before we were allowed to choose the flowers that were just right for our baskets. At last, I chose the biggest, most beautiful flowers, allowing myself to be selfish for my mother. When the bell rang, we threw on our coats, grabbed our schoolbags and then carefully held our offerings of love. And we ran back to our individual homes! I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill, across the street, up the block, heading home. After arrival, when I decided to hang the basket lovingly on our door, I was shocked that my flowers were gone! Apparently, on my way home, all the flowers ran out of the basket. Now, there was only an empty basket! I stood in front of the door and burst into tears. Soon, my mom came to the door to discover the source of the sadness. As she let me in, helped me off with my coat and relieved me of my school things, I tried to talk about my horrible dilemma (困境). Through sadness of hot tears, I tried to communicate the depth of my sorrow. As she listened, she wiped my face with a cool damp cloth and touched my hair with the other hand. Finally, I fell weakly into her arms. Next, she did what I would never forget. She took a knife from the kitchen and my poor little empty basket from the coffee table. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 Then, we went to our garden where there were flowers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Awkwardly, I hung the basket on our door, knocked hesitantly, and hid. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, we went to our garden where there were flowers. Many flowers had already bloomed. She cut one, placed it in my basket, handed me the knife, and then went to the house to start dinner. Slowly, as I cut the flowers and arranged them in my paper basket, my enthusiasm began returning. And I was becoming peaceful. Cut and arrange and cut and arrange. Soon, again, my gift was ready to be offered. But suddenly, it dawned on me that the element of surprise, so essential to my deed, was now totally gone. Awkwardly, I hung the basket on our door, knocked hesitantly, and hid. When my mother answered the door, she was so surprised, seeming to have no idea who had left the gift! Unaware that she just pretended, I stepped out of my hiding place. “Baby!” she exclaimed. “Look what someone left on our door! Aren’t they lovely?” With her excitement, all my anxiety disappeared. I danced into her arms. We went into the house, bringing the gift of love. Now, the flowers and the basket are long gone. But the love for each other is everlasting! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在幼儿园时制作五一节花篮来庆祝春天，并打算将它作为礼物所给母亲，但是当作者决定把花篮挂在门上时，惊讶地发现里面的花不见了，母亲知道后带着作者拿着空篮子和一把剪刀去采花，并和作者扮演了一次赠送礼物和收获礼物的场景，让作者体会到了和母亲之间的深切的爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，我们去了我们的花园，那里有花。”可知，第一段可描写作者妈妈带着作者在花园里用剪刀剪下花的过程和作者心情的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“我笨拙地把篮子挂在门上，犹豫地敲了敲门，然后躲了起来。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妈妈扮演了一次妈妈收到礼物的场景和感受。 2.续写线索：剪下花朵——心情转变——扮演场景——爱的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/lay/put ②呼喊：exclaim/yell/cry out ③消失：disappear/vanish 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/passion ②激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1].
