It’s a hobby that could absorb my spare time and money without regret. Yet, as my collection expands at an alarming rate, I can’t help worrying about sinking into debt and reflecting on it. Collectors each have their own beginnings. Take Judy, for instance. As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces. Sam, another collector, found comfort and joy in colorful clowns (小丑) during his challenging childhood, and now he’s crazy about all things clown-related, from posters and books to lunchboxes and beyond. “Collecting provides a goal, a safe space and a focus for the mind,” a collector shares. “Once you get off the beaten track to enter an unexplored world, where the most interesting stuff is, other people just don’t understand. So it becomes your private world.” For collectors, it’s a personal hunt that keeps them searching late into the night, ignoring the social media distractions. They know exactly what they seek and go to the trouble to acquire it. However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money. Moreover, these items will just gather dust, displayed like aged beauty queens waiting to be admired once more, not to mention the space they’ll take up. Actually, collections are more than just objects. Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector. It’s a hobby that can be as simple or as complex as one wishes, but it always offers the excitement of the hunt and the satisfaction of adding another piece to one’s collection. 29. What might be a common reason for beginning a collection? A. Beauty goals. B. Growth challenges. C. Family traditions. D. Childhood experiences. 30. What do the underlined words “the beaten track” mean in paragraph 3? A. The conventional way. B. The unsafe path. C. The unfamiliar world. D. The interesting place. 31. Why are the aged beauty queens mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight the appeal of collecting. B. To display the quantity of collections. C. To question the behaviour of collecting. D. To doubt the choice of collections. 32. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The history of collecting. B. The value of collections. C. The instructions for collecting. D. The personalities of collectors. 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. C 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了收藏这一爱好及其对个人的意义和价值。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces.(小时候，她每周都要去看望她的祖母。她觉得无聊，就玩祖母的珠宝。现在，她热衷于收集古董耳环和项链)”可推知，童年经历是开始收藏的一个常见原因。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句中的“get off(离开)”和“to enter an unexplored world(进入一个未知的世界)”可知，划线短语所在句子表示“一旦你不走寻常路，进入一个未经探索的世界，那里有最有趣的东西，其他人就是不理解”，the beaten track的意思是“常规、传统或大家都走的路”，和The conventional way意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money.(然而，一些人认为这种收集行为是不合理的。他们认为收集这么多物品完全是浪费时间和金钱)”可推知，第四段提到了年迈的选美皇后是为了质疑收集行为。故选C。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector.(藏品可以是一种与历史和名声联系在一起的方式。拥有一件被名人触摸过的历史文物可以算是一种时间旅行，让收藏家可以通过他们的藏品深入到过去。藏品也可以是一面反映收藏者个性和身份的镜子)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是藏品的价值和意义。故选B。 C Maths anxiety is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation (计算) may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that maths skills and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the problem is that we are often stuck in the “science” box. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we might stop fearing the calculations supporting it. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics. Some experts like to point out that we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. In the same way, fear can be negative or positive. Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement. 33. What does the author think of the book by Auerbach according to paragraph 1? A. It overstates the fear of maths. B. It addresses a common problem. C. It is too old to be important today. D. It is popular among mathematicians. 34. What is the reason behind people’s fear of mathematics? A. Inability to do calculations. B. Lack of support from teachers. C. Failure to understand its nature. D. Difficulty of the math language. 35. In what way can we regard mathematics as an art? A. Through focusing on technical skills. B. Through creating artworks with delight. C. Through exploring applications in science. D. Through appreciating its beauty in patterns. 36. What does the passage suggest we do regarding learning maths? A. Express our fear. B. Seek experts’ help. C. Change our opinion. D. Learn a new language. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. D 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数学焦虑的问题，指出这种焦虑源于对数学本质的基本误解，强调了数学不仅是一门科学，也是一种语言和艺术，提倡人们从欣赏数学作为美丽语言和艺术的角度去看待它，以减少对数学的恐惧和焦虑。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago.(一百年前，德国物理学家Felix Auerbach对这种情况感到担忧，希望能找到应对之策，于是他写了一本名为《对数学的恐惧及如何克服它》的小书。对于像我这样的数学家来说，读完他的书后，在享受阅读乐趣的同时，也会遗憾地叹一口气，因为这个话题在今天和一个世纪前一样重要。)”可知，一百年前Auerbach写了一本关于数学恐惧及如何克服它的书，作者读完后感到遗憾的是这个话题在今天和一个世纪前一样重要。因为这个关于数学恐惧的话题在一个世纪前和现在都很重要，说明这是一个普遍存在的问题，书探讨了这个问题。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is.(我们为什么会害怕数学呢？Auerbach认为，从本质上讲，这归根结底是对数学本质的一种基本误解。)”可知，人们害怕数学的核心原因是对数学是什么存在基本的误解，也就是没有理解数学的本质。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics.(作为一种语言，数学的独特之处在于其真理的普遍性——无论你来自哪里，都能熟练掌握它。作为一门艺术，数学之美在于其精妙的思维，这种思维使我们能够理解无穷无尽的事物，探索艺术与自然中美妙的图案，并陶醉于各种完美的思想之中。如果只专注于计算技能，就会错过发现和理解数学规律所带来的乐趣与兴奋，也体会不到数学的艺术之美。)”可知，作为一门艺术，数学之美在于其精妙的思维，这种思维使我们能够理解无穷无尽的事物，探索艺术与自然中美妙的图案，并陶醉于各种完美的思想之中。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。文章开头指出数学焦虑由来已久，接着阐述人们害怕数学的原因是对数学本质的误解，然后详细说明了数学作为科学、语言和艺术的特点。而根据文章最后一段“Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement.(我们的目标应该是让人们从仅仅将数学视为计算的狭隘观点中走出来，转而欣赏数学作为一门能够激发惊叹之情的优美语言和艺术。)”可知，目标是人们从仅仅把数学看作是计算的狭隘观点转变为将其视为一门能激发惊叹之情的优美语言和艺术来欣赏。也就是说，文章建议读者从狭隘的数学观转变为欣赏数学作为语言和艺术的观点。故选C。 D “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The philosopher George Berkeley once wondered. Compared to real trees, the virtual (虚拟的) ones catch more of our attention — you must be familiar with the 3D cartoon images that city planners use to illustrate green spaces. Adorable as they are, a new technology is reshaping the landscape. Meet “Tree-D Fusion (融合)”, an innovative 3D tree modeling method which has so far produced 600,000 virtual trees in local communities, and aims globally. To create the “Tree-D” model, the researchers have used a mixed method. Besides using the traditional model to outline the shapes of branches and leaves, developers have also adopted AI deep learning. By feeding inputs like tree types, temperatures, and light conditions, the AI-driven model can not only monitor the trees’ growing process but show how the trees will grow in generated pictures based on the data. While the previous modeling method excels at recognizing static (静态的) features, the Tree-D Fusion can effectively present the trees’ changing nature, making it possible to forecast the trees’ growth. “Even the slightest movement of branches in a gentle wind can be recorded,” says PhD student Jae Joong Lee, who created the technology. “Understanding these interactions with the environment can be significant for city planning.” For example, planners can tell when and where growing branches might get caught in power lines, or find the right locations where placing trees could improve cooling and air quality. If planners rely on traditional procedures, they have no choice but to make adjustments after the trees have grown and the problems show up. “This is just the beginning,” says Lee. “We aim to design more sustainable urban communities globally, creating a closer connection between people and their living environments.” 37. Why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a new technology. B. To stress the importance of trees. C. To call attention to forest protection. D. To encourage philosophical thinking. 38. What is an advantage of the Tree-D model over the traditional one? A. It can recognise trees’ static features. B. It can identify different types of trees. C It can produce numerous identical trees. D. It can predict the dynamic growth of trees. 39. What can the “Tree-D Fusion” technology help with? A. Planning ahead in city tree positioning. B Making up for environmental damage. C. Developing new power supply facilities. D. Equipping planners with planting skills. 40. What is the best title for this text? A. AI Reducing the Need for Real Trees. B. AI Tree Modeling Aiding City Design. C. Tree-D Fusion Making Trees Grow Faster. D. 3D Trees Enhancing Community Connections. 【答案】37. A 38. D 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Tree-D Fusion技术辅助城市设计。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段““If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The philosopher George Berkeley once wondered. (“如果一棵树在森林里倒下，而周围没有人听到，它会发出声音吗？”哲学家乔治·伯克利曾有这样的疑问。)”及第二段中“Compared to real trees, the virtual (虚拟的) ones catch more of our attention — you must be familiar with the 3D cartoon images that city planners use to illustrate green spaces. (与真实的树木相比，虚拟树木吸引了我们更多的注意——你一定对城市规划者用来展示绿地的3D卡通图像很熟悉。)”可知，作者在第一段提出了一个问题来引出下文关于虚拟树木新技术的内容。因此，作者提到第一段的问题是为了介绍一项新技术。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“While the previous modeling method excels at recognizing static (静态的) features, the Tree-D Fusion can effectively present the trees’ changing nature, making it possible to forecast the trees’ growth. (虽然以前的建模方法在识别静态特征方面很出色，但Tree-D Fusion却能有效地展现树木不断变化的特性，从而使预测树木的生长成为可能。)”可知，Tree-D模型相比传统模型的一个优势是它可以预测树木的动态生长。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“For example, planners can tell when and where growing branches might get caught in power lines, or find the right locations where placing trees could improve cooling and air quality. If planners rely on traditional procedures, they have no choice but to make adjustments after the trees have grown and the problems show up. (例如，规划者可以判断树枝何时何地可能会缠绕在电线上，或者找到合适的地点植树以改善降温效果和空气质量。如果规划者依赖传统程序，他们别无选择，只能在树木生长、问题出现后进行调整。)”可知，Tree-D Fusion技术可以帮助提前规划城市树木的位置。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Compared to real trees, the virtual (虚拟的) ones catch more of our attention — you must be familiar with the 3D cartoon images that city planners use to illustrate green spaces. Adorable as they are, a new technology is reshaping the landscape. Meet “Tree-D Fusion (融合)”, an innovative 3D tree modeling method which has so far produced 600,000 virtual trees in local communities, and aims globally. (与真实的树木相比，虚拟树木吸引了我们更多的注意——你一定对城市规划者用来展示绿地的3D卡通图像很熟悉。尽管它们很可爱，但一项新技术正在重塑这一景象。这就是“Tree-D Fusion（融合）”，一种创新的3D树木建模方法，该方法至今已在当地社区创建了60万棵虚拟树木，并旨在推向全球。)”可知，文章主要介绍了AI树木建模技术Tree-D Fusion如何帮助城市规划者进行城市设计。因此，最好的标题是“AI Tree Modeling Aiding City Design (AI树木建模辅助城市设计)”。故选B。 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。 Baby animals are cute, and when we see one that seems to be in trouble, it’s natural that we want to help. ____41____ It’s important to recognise when an animal truly needs help and to understand how to assist safely. Then how should we properly interact with young animals in the wild? Do not approach a baby animal immediately you spot it, otherwise it may run away, making it hard for the parent to find it. ____42____ Baby animals are often left alone in tall grass or bushes while their parents forage (觅食). The parents are likely nearby and will return. So, wait and observe first. Generally, people should give wildlife space. Many parks require visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from animals, and much further if it’s a predator (捕食者) like a lion or a bear. ____43____ When an animal is visibly injured, the best approach is to call the local forestry department or a wildlife organisation to get advice about next steps. ____44____ You may not be able to do it properly. If the animal isn’t obviously injured, you should wait and see if a parent returns. ____45____ If you see a turtle crossing the road and it’s safe to stop your car, it’s fine to help the animal get to its destination. Also, if you accidentally knock a bird’s nest out of a tree or observe a baby bird fall, you typically can gently return the bird to its nest. A. Try not to handle the animal by yourself. B. However animals are often much stronger than we think. C. Animal parents may abandon a baby due to food shortages. D. Instead, your first reaction should be to watch from a distance. E. If you’re close enough to take a photo with it, you’re too close. F. Yet there are situations where humans can lend a helping hand. G. But well-meaning humans can sometimes do more harm than good. 【答案】41. G 42. D 43. E 44. A 45. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了如何在野外正确与小动物互动，强调了保持适当距离、观察情况、寻求专业帮助以及在必要时谨慎采取行动的重要性。 【41题详解】 根据上文“Baby animals are cute, and when we see one that seems to be in trouble, it’s natural that we want to help.(小动物很可爱，当我们看到似乎有麻烦的小动物时，我们自然想要帮忙。)”可知，人们看到有麻烦的小动物会想帮忙。而后文“It’s important to recognise when an animal truly needs help and to understand how to assist safely.(识别动物何时真正需要帮助以及了解如何安全地提供帮助是很重要的)”则指出要正确地帮助动物。选项G“But well-meaning humans can sometimes do more harm than good.(但是善意的人类有时可能会好心办坏事。)”承上启下，指出人们虽然有帮助的想法，但可能方法不当，符合语境。故选G。 【42题详解】 根据上文“Do not approach a baby animal immediately you spot it, otherwise it may run away, making it hard for the parent to find it.(不要一看到幼小动物就立刻靠近它，否则它可能会跑掉，让它的父母很难找到它)”可知，上文指出不要立刻靠近幼小动物。选项D“Instead, your first reaction should be to watch from a distance.(相反，你的第一反应应该是从远处观察。)”进一步说明正确的做法是从远处观察，与前文衔接紧密。故选D。 【43题详解】 根据上文“Many parks require visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from animals, and much further if it’s a predator(捕食者)like a lion or a bear.(许多公园要求游客与动物保持至少 25 码的距离，如果是像狮子或熊这样的捕食者，则要更远)”可知，上文强调要与动物保持距离。选项E“If you’re close enough to take a photo with it, you’re too close.(如果你近到可以和它合影，那你就离得太近了。)”通过具体的例子说明距离太近的情况，进一步阐述了要保持距离的观点，符合语境。故选E。 【44题详解】 根据上文“When an animal is visibly injured, the best approach is to call the local forestry department or a wildlife organisation to get advice about next steps.(当动物明显受伤时，最好的办法是联系当地的林业部门或野生动物组织，以获取下一步的建议。)”可知，上文指出遇到受伤动物应联系相关部门。而下文“You may not be able to do it properly.(你可能无法正确地处理。)”进一步指出自己处理可能会有问题。选项A“Try not to handle the animal by yourself.”(尽量不要自己处理这只动物)”承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 【45题详解】 根据下文“If you see a turtle crossing the road and it’s safe to stop your car, it’s fine to help the animal get to its destination. Also, if you accidentally knock a bird’s nest out of a tree or observe a baby bird fall, you typically can gently return the bird to its nest.(如果你看到一只乌龟过马路，并且停车是安全的，帮助这只动物到达目的地是可以的。此外，如果你不小心把鸟巢从树上碰掉了，或者看到一只幼鸟掉下来，你通常可以轻轻地把鸟放回巢里。)”可知，下文举例说明了在某些情况下人们可以帮助动物。选项F“Yet there are situations where humans can lend a helping hand.(然而，在某些情况下人类可以伸出援手)”引出后文，说明存在可以帮助动物的情况，符合语境。故选F。 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。 In a small village located at the foot of a towering mountain lived a young woman named Maya.

Although 70. celebrating 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是中国二十四节气中的“大寒”（Greater Cold）这一节气。 【61题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：它象征着春天的正式到来。句子描述的是客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语it是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填symbolises。 【62题详解】 考查副词。句意：在大寒期间，寒潮经常向南移动，使其成为一年中最冷的季节。空格处用副词frequently修饰动词move，frequently意为“经常”，故填frequently。 【63题详解】 考查最高级。句意：在大寒期间，寒潮经常向南移动，使其成为一年中最冷的季节。空前有the，空格处用最高级coldest，故填coldest。 【64题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：大寒分为三个阶段。表示“大寒被分为三个阶段”，句子用被动语态，描述客观事实，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语Greater Cold是不可数名词，因此空格处用is divided。故填is divided。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：根据民间观察记录的现象，在最初的五天里，母鸡开始孵小鸡；在中期，鹰处于狩猎状态；在过去的五天里，湖中的冰从边缘到中心都结冰了，那里是最坚固、最厚的地方。句中谓语是start，空格处用非谓语动词，phenomena和record之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语。故填recorded。 【66题详解】 考查介词。句意：根据民间观察记录的现象，在最初的五天里，母鸡开始孵小鸡；在中期，鹰处于狩猎状态；在过去的五天里，湖中的冰从边缘到中心都结冰了，那里是最坚固、最厚的地方。from...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……”，因此空格处用介词from，故填from。 【67题详解】 考查名词。句意：中山大学中文系教授叶春生解释了古人的智慧，说每年这个时候的严寒是一个好兆头，这意味着病虫害将无法度过冬天，明年将有一个好收成。由the和of可知，空格处用名词，wise的名词是wisdom，是不可数名词，意为“智慧”。故填wisdom。 【68题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：中山大学中文系教授叶春生解释了古人的智慧，说每年这个时候的严寒是一个好兆头，这意味着病虫害将无法度过冬天，明年将有一个好收成。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词sign是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。 【69题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然大寒是一个寒冷的时代，但专家刘小昌对童年的回忆却给人一种温暖的感觉。根据语境可知，句子前后为转折关系，空格处意为“虽然”，用although引导让步状语从句，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Although。 【70题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：不管天气有多冷，都不能阻止人们聚在一起庆祝团圆。句中谓语是can’t stop，空格处用非谓语动词，people和celebrate之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，表示和getting together同时发生。故填celebrating。 第四部分 写作(满分25分) 71. 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。 I had always been in love with acting, while my older sister Diana, who was an “A” student, dreamed of becoming an astronomer (天文学家) Our bedroom window is a perfect place for star-observing. Diana taught me everything about stars, and sometimes we’d search the light of “hidden” stars. She told me these stars were so far away that their light hadn’t reached Earth yet. However, the idea of “hidden” stars seemed strange to me. How could we be sure they even existed? And why should we care about them now, when so many bright stars were already shining in the sky? Though Diana’s heart was set on space, our parents wanted her to major in medicine. I faced difficulties in going after my dream too. My attempts at acting hadn’t gone well either. Mr. Ellison, the director of the school play, had not chosen me as one of the actors. Instead, he suggested that I join the stage crew (工作人员), in a supporting role for the show. To save face, I lied to my family, telling them I had a role in the play. Maybe I would find a way to perform on stage. Who knows? Then, once, one of the actresses missed a rehearsal (排练), I jumped at the chance to read her lines. So it might happen again on the performance night—there was a possibility that someone might not show up for the performance, and I could be the one to save the play. My wish came true. One of the actresses, Christy didn’t make it to the performance. I approached Mr. Ellison and offered to take her place. Though still doubtful, he finally agreed. “You can try. But since you never rehearsed, it can be hard,” he said. The curtain rose, and I stepped onto the stage, my heart beating fast. The bright lights made it difficult to see the audience, but I could feel them—waiting, watching, expecting. My nervousness grew, but I pushed it aside. This was my moment. I had dreamed of this for so long, and now finally, I, like a “hidden star”, would have my chance to shine. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 But what happened next on the stage was a disaster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the embarrassing show, I went home and locked myself in the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】But what happened next on the stage was a disaster. As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, the lines I had practiced so hard just flew out of my mind. I stuttered and froze, standing there like a statue, my face burning with shame. The audience began to whisper, and their whispers felt like sharp needles pricking my heart. Mr. Ellison, off to the side, was gesturing wildly, trying to remind me of the lines, but it was no use. The play came to a screeching halt, and I ran off the stage in tears, completely humiliated. After the embarrassing show, I went home and locked myself in the bedroom. I lay on the bed, sobbing, feeling like a total failure. Just then, Diana came in. She sat beside me, gently patting my back. “Remember those hidden stars we used to talk about?” she said softly. “They shine even when we can’t see them, and they keep shining until their light reaches us. You, like those stars, have a dream, and one little setback can’t stop you. You have to keep shining.” Her words touched my heart. I realized that failure was just a part of the journey. I decided to pick myself up, keep practicing acting, and wait for the next chance to truly shine like a star. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者追求演艺梦想过程中的一次失败经历，以及姐姐Diana的鼓励和支持，展现了面对挫折和失败时应有的态度和坚持梦想的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但接下来在舞台上发生的却是一场灾难。”以及第二段首句内容“在这场尴尬的演出之后，我回到家，把自己锁在卧室里。”可知，第一段可描写作者在舞台上的表现非常糟糕。 ②由第二段首句内容“在这场尴尬的演出之后，我回到家，把自己锁在卧室里。”可知，第二段可描写作者非常难过，而姐姐的劝解则让作者振作起来。 2.续写线索：作者一张嘴，就发现自己已经完全忘记了台词——作者非常羞愧，满脸通红——Ellison先生拼命提示，可是，作者已经完全忘记了台词——话剧结束后，作者泪流满面地跑下了舞台——回到家后，作者把自己锁在了卧室里面——作者觉得自己就是个失败者——这是姐姐Diana走进来，安慰着作者——姐姐让作者明白了小小的挫折不会阻止我们逐梦的脚步——作者也振作起来，决定继续努力 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②尝试：try/attempt ③决定：decide/determine 情绪类 ①打动：touch/move ② 振作：pick up/cheer up 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, the lines I had practiced so hard just flew out of my mind.（运用了as soon as引导的状语从句和省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】They shine even when we can’t see them, and they keep shining until their light reaches us.（运用了when引导的状语从句和until引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 龙岗区2024-2025学年第一学期高二期末质量监测 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.本试卷共10页，满分130分，考试用时120分钟。 2.答题前，请将学校、班级、姓名和考号用规定的笔写在答题卡指定的位置上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡的贴条形码区。请保持条形码整洁、不污损。 3.本卷试题，考生必须在答题卡上按规定作答;凡在试卷、草稿纸上作答的，其答案一律无效。答题卡必须保持清洁，不能折叠。 4.选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔将答题卡选择题答题区内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;非选择题答案必须用规定的笔，按作答题目的序号，写在答题卡非选择题答题区内。 5.考试结束，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 基础知识(共25小题;每小题1分，满分25分) 单项选择 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。 1.

Here is some information about the International Buddy Programme (IBP) and it will help explain what it means to be a buddy for a new international student. Your role as a buddy is to: •Make first contact via email with your buddy once you are matched with a student. •Welcome and look after your buddy when they arrive at school. •Continue to answer any questions, provide school and local services information such as transportation and facilities. •Maintain contact, even if your buddy is feeling “at home”. Culture Shock The first year at a new school can be full of mixed emotions. Students may feel excited about new experiences or nervous about leaving family and making friends. Buddies should recognise these feelings and offer support to help students adjust to their new environment. Help your buddy by: •Empathizing (有同感) their difficulties — don’t take bad comments personally and try not to argue how wonderful New Zealand is. •Explaining the rules and norms (规范) of New Zealand — if they understand the “why” behind difficult situations, they may be able to better understand situations and actions. •Keeping in contact if they are becoming upset. If you want ideas and advice or have any questions, please click here to contact the International Student Support team. 26. What is a responsibility of being a buddy? A. Providing continuous support. B. Offering latest local news. C. Improving local services D. Tracking new students’ performance. 27. How can you help your buddy deal with culture shock? A. By having less frequent contacts. B. By relating to their situations. C. By adjusting rules and norms. D. By arguing for New Zealand. 28. Where is the text most probably taken from? A.

It’s a hobby that could absorb my spare time and money without regret. Yet, as my collection expands at an alarming rate, I can’t help worrying about sinking into debt and reflecting on it. Collectors each have their own beginnings. Take Judy, for instance. As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces. Sam, another collector, found comfort and joy in colorful clowns (小丑) during his challenging childhood, and now he’s crazy about all things clown-related, from posters and books to lunchboxes and beyond. “Collecting provides a goal, a safe space and a focus for the mind,” a collector shares. “Once you get off the beaten track to enter an unexplored world, where the most interesting stuff is, other people just don’t understand. So it becomes your private world.” For collectors, it’s a personal hunt that keeps them searching late into the night, ignoring the social media distractions. They know exactly what they seek and go to the trouble to acquire it. However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money. Moreover, these items will just gather dust, displayed like aged beauty queens waiting to be admired once more, not to mention the space they’ll take up. Actually collections are more than just objects. Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector. It’s a hobby that can be as simple or as complex as one wishes, but it always offers the excitement of the hunt and the satisfaction of adding another piece to one’s collection. 29. What might be a common reason for beginning a collection? A. Beauty goals. B. Growth challenges. C. Family traditions. D. Childhood experiences. 30. What do the underlined words “the beaten track” mean in paragraph 3? A. The conventional way. B. The unsafe path. C. The unfamiliar world. D. The interesting place. 31. Why are the aged beauty queens mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight the appeal of collecting. B. To display the quantity of collections. C. To question the behaviour of collecting. D. To doubt the choice of collections. 32. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The history of collecting. B. The value of collections. C. The instructions for collecting. D. The personalities of collectors. C Maths anxiety is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation (计算) may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that maths skills and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the problem is that we are often stuck in the “science” box. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we might stop fearing the calculations supporting it. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics. Some experts like to point out that we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. In the same way, fear can be negative or positive. Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement. 33. What does the author think of the book by Auerbach according to paragraph 1? A. It overstates the fear of maths. B. It addresses a common problem. C. It is too old to be important today. D. It is popular among mathematicians. 34. What is the reason behind people’s fear of mathematics? A. Inability to do calculations. B. Lack of support from teachers. C. Failure to understand its nature. D. Difficulty of the math language. 35. In what way can we regard mathematics as an art? A. Through focusing on technical skills. B. Through creating artworks with delight. C. Through exploring applications in science. D. Through appreciating its beauty in patterns. 36. What does the passage suggest we do regarding learning maths? A. Express our fear. B. Seek experts’ help. C. Change our opinion. D. Learn a new language. D “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?” The philosopher George Berkeley once wondered. Compared to real trees, the virtual (虚拟的) ones catch more of our attention — you must be familiar with the 3D cartoon images that city planners use to illustrate green spaces. Adorable as they are, a new technology is reshaping the landscape. Meet “Tree-D Fusion (融合)”, an innovative 3D tree modeling method which has so far produced 600,000 virtual trees in local communities, and aims globally. To create the “Tree-D” model, the researchers have used a mixed method. Besides using the traditional model to outline the shapes of branches and leaves, developers have also adopted AI deep learning. By feeding inputs like tree types, temperatures, and light conditions, the AI-driven model can not only monitor the trees’ growing process but show how the trees will grow in generated pictures based on the data. While the previous modeling method excels at recognizing static (静态的) features, the Tree-D Fusion can effectively present the trees’ changing nature, making it possible to forecast the trees’ growth. “Even the slightest movement of branches in a gentle wind can be recorded,” says PhD student Jae Joong Lee, who created the technology. “Understanding these interactions with the environment can be significant for city planning.” For example, planners can tell when and where growing branches might get caught in power lines, or find the right locations where placing trees could improve cooling and air quality. If planners rely on traditional procedures, they have no choice but to make adjustments after the trees have grown and the problems show up. “This is just the beginning,” says Lee. “We aim to design more sustainable urban communities globally, creating a closer connection between people and their living environments.” 37. Why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a new technology. B. To stress the importance of trees. C. To call attention to forest protection. D. To encourage philosophical thinking. 38. What is an advantage of the Tree-D model over the traditional one? A. It can recognise trees’ static features. B. It can identify different types of trees. C. It can produce numerous identical trees. D. It can predict the dynamic growth of trees. 39. What can the “Tree-D Fusion” technology help with? A. Planning ahead in city tree positioning. B. Making up for environmental damage. C. Developing new power supply facilities. D. Equipping planners with planting skills. 40. What is the best title for this text? A. AI Reducing the Need for Real Trees. B. AI Tree Modeling Aiding City Design. C. Tree-D Fusion Making Trees Grow Faster. D. 3D Trees Enhancing Community Connections. 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。 Baby animals are cute, and when we see one that seems to be in trouble, it’s natural that we want to help. ____41____ It’s important to recognise when an animal truly needs help and to understand how to assist safely. Then how should we properly interact with young animals in the wild? Do not approach a baby animal immediately you spot it, otherwise it may run away, making it hard for the parent to find it. ____42____ Baby animals are often left alone in tall grass or bushes while their parents forage (觅食). The parents are likely nearby and will return. So, wait and observe first. Generally, people should give wildlife space. Many parks require visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from animals, and much further if it’s a predator (捕食者) like a lion or a bear. ____43____ When an animal is visibly injured, the best approach is to call the local forestry department or a wildlife organisation to get advice about next steps. ____44____ You may not be able to do it properly. If the animal isn’t obviously injured, you should wait and see if a parent returns. ____45____ If you see a turtle crossing the road and it’s safe to stop your car, it’s fine to help the animal get to its destination. Also, if you accidentally knock a bird’s nest out of a tree or observe a baby bird fall, you typically can gently return the bird to its nest. A. Try not to handle the animal by yourself. B. However, animals are often much stronger than we think. C. Animal parents may abandon a baby due to food shortages. D. Instead, your first reaction should be to watch from a distance. E. If you’re close enough to take a photo with it, you’re too close. F. Yet there are situations where humans can lend a helping hand. G. But well-meaning humans can sometimes do more harm than good. 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。 In a small village located at the foot of a towering mountain lived a young woman named Maya.

Diana taught me everything about stars, and sometimes we’d search the light of “hidden” stars. She told me these stars were so far away that their light hadn’t reached Earth yet. However, the idea of “hidden” stars seemed strange to me. How could we be sure they even existed? And why should we care about them now, when so many bright stars were already shining in the sky? Though Diana’s heart was set on space, our parents wanted her to major in medicine. I faced difficulties in going after my dream too. My attempts at acting hadn’t gone well either. Mr. Ellison, the director of the school play, had not chosen me as one of the actors. Instead, he suggested that I join the stage crew (工作人员), in a supporting role for the show. To save face, I lied to my family, telling them I had a role in the play. Maybe I would find a way to perform on stage. Who knows? Then, once, one of the actresses missed a rehearsal (排练), I jumped at the chance to read her lines. So it might happen again on the performance night—there was a possibility that someone might not show up for the performance, and I could be the one to save the play. My wish came true. One of the actresses, Christy didn’t make it to the performance. I approached Mr. Ellison and offered to take her place. Though still doubtful, he finally agreed. “You can try. But since you never rehearsed, it can be hard,” he said. The curtain rose, and I stepped onto the stage, my heart beating fast. The bright lights made it difficult to see the audience, but I could feel them—waiting, watching, expecting. My nervousness grew, but I pushed it aside. This was my moment. I had dreamed of this for so long, and now finally, I, like a “hidden star”, would have my chance to shine. 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。 But what happened next on the stage was a disaster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the embarrassing show, I went home and locked myself in the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
