With just a couple of plants, you can be on your way to enjoying your very own home-grown tomatoes for your meals. To help you start, we’ve pulled together everything you need to know about planting tomato seeds. When do you plant tomato seeds? It’s easy to grow tomatoes from seeds sown indoors in warmer conditions. In terms of the growing season, if you want to grow tomatoes outdoors, you can sow from late March to early April but if you want to grow your seeds indoors or in a greenhouse, you’ll need to start sowing earlier, from late February to mid-March. Tomato varieties There are four main types of tomatoes but did you know there are over 10,000 different tomato varieties? Here are the most popular ones: Cherry tomatoes — Small and sweet tomatoes Medium Tomatoes — Known as salad tomatoes, a good all-rounder. Beefsteak Tomatoes — These big tomatoes often weigh 200g or more. They have a meaty texture. Plum Tomatoes — These tomatoes have an oval shape. They are very fleshy and have fewer seeds. Sowing tomato seeds When purchasing, be sure to check seed packets or plant labels to make sure that you get the right type to suit the space you have to grow your tomato seedlings. According to RHS, tomatoes tend to have two different ways of growing: ●Cordon(or indeterminate) tomatoes grow tall, reaching up to 6ft, and require support. ●Bush (or determinate) tomatoes are shorter and bushy, and don’t require staking. 1. What is the best time for you to plant tomato seeds in your yard? A. February 22. B. March 3. C. March 28. D. April 29. 2. If you enjoy eating small and meaty tomatoes, which variety do you prefer?

To sell tomato seeds and gardening supplies. C. To provide a recipe for making tomato-based dishes. D. To teach about tomato varieties and cultivation methods. B At 93, Doreen Hynd effortlessly keeps busy with cooking, dancing, and teaching her students across different places. Active in life, she credits her energy to her lifelong practice of Tai Chi. Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength. Born in Australia, Doreen Hynd started her Tai Chi training at the University of Sydney in the 1980s. After moving to the United States in 1984, she sought out Sophia Delza, who had studied under Ma Yueh Liang, a respected Tai Chi master in China for many years. After Delza passed away, Hynd, who had become Delza’s teaching assistant, continued to promote Tai Chi culture. Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.” “A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly. When asked about using Tai Chi for self-defense Hynd expressed a preference for connecting with someone approaching aggressively, even if it meant risking her life. She prioritizes forming connections over fighting. According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.” 4. What does Doreen Hynd think of Tai Chi? A. Active and effortless. B. Demanding and powerful. C. Energetic and practical. D. Calming and integrative. 5. Why did Hynd decide to promote Tai Chi culture? A. She wanted to follow Delza. B. She valued its timeless quality. C. She considered it part of her study. D. She benefited considerably from it. 6. Which aspect of Tai Chi is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Its target group. B. Its health advantage. C. Its growing popularity. D. Its underlying principle. 7. Why did Cao Guozhong mention I Ching? A. To support his point. B. To praise Hynd’s efforts. C. To spread his philosophy. D. To highlight Hynd’s change. C In our quest to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to sugarcoat the truth. While being polite is generally seen as a positive trait, excessive politeness can muddy the waters of communication, leading to misunderstandings and leaving important issues unresolved. Taking responsibility for your emotions and allowing other people to take responsibility for their emotions is a key component in healthy relationships and responsible communication. Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. Regardless of what we’re talking about, here are some common reasons we become overly polite. Many people avoid direct communication because they’re afraid of conflict, believing that softening their words will minimize the risk of argument or hurt feelings. Some individuals have a strong desire to be liked and accepted, leading them to sugarcoat the truth to avoid displeasing others or to maintain a positive image. In some cultures, indirect communication is the norm, and being overly polite is a way to show respect and maintain social harmony. Whether you deliver difficult news with a smile or you repeatedly thank someone while attempting to express your displeasure, excessive politeness can create new issues. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost. This can lead to misinterpretations, where the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Consequently, important issues remain unresolved. Over time, the lack of clarity can lead to frustration and resentment, especially if one party feels they are not being heard or understood. While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good. By striving for more direct and honest interactions, we can reduce misunderstandings and cultivate relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective. 8. What does “soften the blow” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Clarify the intention. B. Take the responsibility. C. Ease the pain. D. Control the emotion. 9. Which of the following is not mentioned as a reason for excessive politeness? A. An attempt to reduce conflict. B. Intense longing for acceptance. C. Inability to communicate directly. D. Influence of social values. 10. How is Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing facts. B. By giving definition. C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 11. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. Show understandings to build up relationships. B. Speak your mind without thinking. C. Be respectful of others’ feelings. D. Strike a balance between politeness and frankness. D When a severe heat wave covered California in July 2006, it killed an estimated 650 people. But it may be tough to recall because heat waves don’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-related danger, yet they remain invisible killers that few people take seriously. What if the most life-threatening heat waves did have names? This summer, as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhouse gas pollution and El Niño, there has been new openness to the idea of naming heat waves. People in Southern Europe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results of a survey of more than 2,000 people found that people who knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were also more likely to take actions to stay safe, including drinking more water, spending more time indoors and warning others about the risk. Though more research is needed, this suggests that naming heat waves, combined with stronger messaging, can not only help change people’s perception of the risk, but prompt them to take protective action. It would be more effective to broadcast that Heat Wave Zoe, a dangerous Category 3 event, will start tomorrow and here’s what you can do to protect yourself, your neighbors and co-workers. Names, after all, are easier to remember than numbers or weather forecasts. But the World Meteorological (气象学的) Organization opposes naming heat waves on the grounds that it would confuse and distract the public. And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank or name heat waves either, saying that heat and its health impacts vary so dramatically across different regions and seasons that even coming up with a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible. There’s nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the most dangerous heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current approach to these disasters is falling far short of what’s necessary to protect lives. We need other ways to call attention to it and warn the public of the danger. It’s hard to make progress fighting an enemy with no name. 12. Why does the author mention the severe heat wave that covered California in July 2006? A. To clarify the severity of heat waves. B. To remind people of the tough heat wave. C. To introduce the topic of naming heat waves. D. To show people’s ignorance of the heat wave. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 2 and 3? A. Due to its effectiveness, naming waves is a must. B. There exist benefits of categorizing and naming heat waves. C. Naming heat waves can change people’s perception of the risk. D. Naming heat waves can urge people to take prompt action to protect themselves. 14. Why does the National Weather Service have no plans to name heat waves? A. It will confuse and distract the public. B. It is inappropriate for naming heat waves. C. It is difficult to distinguish and predict heat waves. D. It is unlikely to put forward a standard definition for heat waves. 15. What is the author’s attitude to naming heat waves? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. 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。 When you’re comparing yourself to famous singers such as Whitney Houston or Swift Beyoncé, it’s easy to feel like singing is out of reach.

In my early memories, I watched my parents work hard day and night. Their tireless efforts proved their love for our family and the land. One spring evening, as my father was guiding a tractor (拖拉机) across the field to sow the seeds (播种), the front light suddenly went out, making it hard for us to go on working. My father set off on a long journey to buy a new light. The cold wind blew, but it didn’t weaken his determination to finish the task. “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. When we meet difficulties, we should find ways to solve them,” he said. With my mother’s support, we replaced the light together and continued working. Then the tractor’s warm light and my father’s determination became guiding lights for me. Decades passed, and my parents grew old. They still lived in a house on the farm. Later, I started a family and took over the farm. I often told Peter, my son, who was a painter, about the importance of hard work and determination. One day, Peter visited me. He told me about the challenges of being a painter, like needing to find inspiration regularly. Recently, he hadn’t found any new ideas and was considering giving up. Silently, I led him to the place where the tractor stood. I pointed to the big tree next to the tractor, a reminder of the past. “That tree was very young when your grandparents planted it the day after we fixed the light,” I said. I shared the story with him proudly. Peter looked at the tractor and the tree, saying, “I can see you from decades ago, a little boy, learning determination and love on this land.” He smiled and said he would stick to his painting career. Only then did I realize I should personally thank my parents for their education, which also benefited my son. 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。 Just then, my parents walked out of the house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his grandparents’ stories, Peter began a new artistic journey. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 邢台市第一中学2025届高三一轮复习质量检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何从种子开始种植番茄，包括种植时间、番茄品种以及播种方法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In terms of the growing season, if you want to grow tomatoes outdoors, you can sow from late March to early April but if you want to grow your seeds indoors or in a greenhouse, you’ll need to start sowing earlier, from late February to mid-March.(就生长季节而言，如果你想在户外种植番茄，你可以在3月下旬至4月初播种，但如果你想在室内或温室中种植种子，则需要提前开始播种，从2月下旬到3月中旬)”可知，在院子里种植番茄的最佳时间是3月下旬至4月初，故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Here are the most popular ones:下的“Beefsteak Tomatoes — These big tomatoes often weigh 200g or more. They have a meaty texture. Plum Tomatoes — These tomatoes have an oval shape. They are very fleshy and have fewer seeds.(牛排番茄——这些大番茄通常重200克或更多。它们有肉质。李子番茄——这些西红柿呈椭圆形。它们肉质丰厚，种子较少。)”可知，Beefsteak Tomatoes和Plum Tomatoes都是肉质丰厚的，但是Plum Tomatoes会更小，故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’re looking for something easy to grow, growing tomatoes from seeds is a great place to start, whether it’s in a hanging basket, greenhouse or even in your flower border. (如果你正在寻找易于种植的东西，用种子种植西红柿是一个很好的起点，无论是在吊篮、温室里，还是在你的花境里)”及第二段中“To help you start, we’ve pulled together everything you need to know about planting tomato seeds.(为了帮助你开始，我们汇总了你需要了解的有关种植番茄种子的所有信息)”可知，文章的目的是教授番茄品种和栽培方法，故选D项。 B At 93, Doreen Hynd effortlessly keeps busy with cooking, dancing, and teaching her students across different places. Active in life, she credits her energy to her lifelong practice of Tai Chi. Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength. Born in Australia, Doreen Hynd started her Tai Chi training at the University of Sydney in the 1980s. After moving to the United States in 1984, she sought out Sophia Delza, who had studied under Ma Yueh Liang, a respected Tai Chi master in China for many years. After Delza passed away, Hynd, who had become Delza’s teaching assistant, continued to promote Tai Chi culture. Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.” “A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly. When asked about using Tai Chi for self-defense, Hynd expressed a preference for connecting with someone approaching aggressively, even if it meant risking her life. She prioritizes forming connections over fighting. According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.” 4. What does Doreen Hynd think of Tai Chi? A. Active and effortless. B. Demanding and powerful. C. Energetic and practical. D. Calming and integrative. 5. Why did Hynd decide to promote Tai Chi culture? A. She wanted to follow Delza. B. She valued its timeless quality. C. She considered it part of her study. D. She benefited considerably from it. 6. Which aspect of Tai Chi is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Its target group. B. Its health advantage. C. Its growing popularity. D. Its underlying principle. 7. Why did Cao Guozhong mention I Ching? A. To support his point. B. To praise Hynd’s efforts. C. To spread his philosophy. D. To highlight Hynd’s change. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了93岁的Doreen Hynd通过太极保持活力，并积极推广中国太极文化的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Hynd praises Tai Chi for developing awareness of peacefulness, inviting the body, mind and inner consciousness to work together, and offering an experience of lightness and strength.(Hynd赞扬太极培养了平静意识，邀请身体、心灵和内在意识共同努力，并提供了一种轻盈和力量的体验)”可知，Hynd认为太极有助于培养平静的意识，使身体、心灵和内在意识协同工作。由此可知，她认为太极是使人平静且整合的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Reflecting on her mission, she states, “I have always wanted to bring it to the whole world. Tai Chi has stood the test of time for centuries in Chinese culture.”(回顾她的使命，她说：“我一直想把它带到全世界。太极拳在中国文化中经受住了几个世纪的时间考验。”)”可知，Hynd决定推广太极文化的原因是她认为太极文化在中国文化中经受住了时间的考验，具有永不过时的品质。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““A lot of the classes I teach are for retired people, which has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my life,” Hynd shared. Over her 24 years of teaching Tai Chi, she has witnessed miracles (奇迹), such as a student with serious brain damage recovering memories after a year of practice, despite doctors considering it impossible. “Some students in poor health learned about me through the college I worked at in Canada, and they’ve stayed with me since,” she added, smiling broadly.(“我教的很多课程都是为退休人员开设的，这是我生活中最鼓舞人心的方面之一，”Hynd分享道。在她24年的太极拳教学中，她目睹了奇迹，例如，一名患有严重脑损伤的学生在经过一年的练习后恢复了记忆，尽管医生认为这是不可能的。“一些健康状况不佳的学生通过我在加拿大工作的大学了解了我，从那以后他们一直和我在一起，”她补充道，笑容满面)”可知，本段举例说明太极让一个脑部受伤的学生恢复了记忆、改善了一些学生的健康状况。由此可知，本段主要讨论的是太极对健康的好处。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Cao Guozhong, a great Tai Chi master, Hynd has absorbed the essence of Chinese culture through Tai Chi. “Hynd loves to listen carefully to others, approach them with understanding, and transform enemies into friends,” Cao Guozhong explained. “She reflects the philosophy found in the ancient Chinese text, I Ching, which discusses change in the world.”(据伟大的太极大师曹国忠介绍，Hynd通过太极吸收了中国文化的精髓。曹国忠解释说：“Hynd喜欢认真倾听他人，以理解的态度接近他们，把敌人变成朋友。”。她反映了中国古代《易经》中关于世界变化的哲学思想)”可知，曹国忠认为Hynd通过太极吸收了中国文化的精髓，接着作者直接引用曹国忠的话来加以印证。由此可知，曹国忠提到《易经》是为了支持、证明他前面提到的观点。故选A。 C In our quest to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to sugarcoat the truth. While being polite is generally seen as a positive trait, excessive politeness can muddy the waters of communication, leading to misunderstandings and leaving important issues unresolved. Taking responsibility for your emotions and allowing other people to take responsibility for their emotions is a key component in healthy relationships and responsible communication. Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. Regardless of what we’re talking about, here are some common reasons we become overly polite. Many people avoid direct communication because they’re afraid of conflict, believing that softening their words will minimize the risk of argument or hurt feelings. Some individuals have a strong desire to be liked and accepted, leading them to sugarcoat the truth to avoid displeasing others or to maintain a positive image. In some cultures, indirect communication is the norm, and being overly polite is a way to show respect and maintain social harmony. Whether you deliver difficult news with a smile or you repeatedly thank someone while attempting to express your displeasure, excessive politeness can create new issues. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost. This can lead to misinterpretations, where the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Consequently, important issues remain unresolved. Over time, the lack of clarity can lead to frustration and resentment, especially if one party feels they are not being heard or understood. While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good. By striving for more direct and honest interactions, we can reduce misunderstandings and cultivate relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective. 8. What does “soften the blow” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Clarify the intention. B. Take the responsibility. C. Ease the pain. D. Control the emotion. 9. Which of the following is not mentioned as a reason for excessive politeness? A. An attempt to reduce conflict. B. Intense longing for acceptance. C. Inability to communicate directly. D. Influence of social values. 10. How is Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing facts. B. By giving definition. C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 11. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. Show understandings to build up relationships. B. Speak your mind without thinking. C. Be respectful of others’ feelings. D. Strike a balance between politeness and frankness. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是在沟通中过度礼貌可能带来的问题以及如何平衡礼貌与诚实。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions(当你传达坏消息到让别人对你意图感到困惑的程度时)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“当你传达坏消息的时候，你的工作不是缓和打击，让别人对你的意图感到困惑”，soften the blow的意思是“缓和打击”，和“Ease the pain(减轻痛苦)”意思相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Many people avoid direct communication because they’re afraid of conflict, believing that softening their words will minimize the risk of argument or hurt feelings. Some individuals have a strong desire to be liked and accepted, leading them to sugarcoat the truth to avoid displeasing others or to maintain a positive image. In some cultures, indirect communication is the norm, and being overly polite is a way to show respect and maintain social harmony.(许多人避免直接沟通，因为他们害怕冲突，他们相信软化他们的语言会减少争论或伤害感情的风险。有些人有强烈的被喜欢和被接受的愿望，这导致他们粉饰事实，以避免不取悦他人或保持积极的形象。在某些文化中，间接交流是常态，过度礼貌是一种表示尊重和维护社会和谐的方式)”可知，不是过度礼貌的原因的是C选项“Inability to communicate directly.(无法直接沟通)”，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost. This can lead to misinterpretations, where the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Consequently, important issues remain unresolved. Over time, the lack of clarity can lead to frustration and resentment, especially if one party feels they are not being heard or understood.(当信息被层层礼貌包裹时，真正的意图或意义可能会丢失。这可能会导致误解，接收者可能无法完全理解信息的严重性或紧迫性。因此，一些重要问题仍未得到解决。随着时间的推移，缺乏清晰度会导致沮丧和怨恨，尤其是当一方觉得自己没有被倾听或理解时)”可知，第四段主要是通过分析因果关系来展开的，故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective.(记住，我们的目标不是放弃礼貌，而是用诚实来平衡礼貌，确保我们的沟通既友好又有效)”可知，最后一段建议人们在礼貌和坦率之间保持平衡，故选D。 D When a severe heat wave covered California in July 2006, it killed an estimated 650 people. But it may be tough to recall because heat waves don’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-related danger, yet they remain invisible killers that few people take seriously. What if the most life-threatening heat waves did have names? This summer, as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhouse gas pollution and El Niño, there has been new openness to the idea of naming heat waves. People in Southern Europe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results of a survey of more than 2,000 people found that people who knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were also more likely to take actions to stay safe, including drinking more water, spending more time indoors and warning others about the risk. Though more research is needed, this suggests that naming heat waves, combined with stronger messaging, can not only help change people’s perception of the risk, but prompt them to take protective action. It would be more effective to broadcast that Heat Wave Zoe, a dangerous Category 3 event, will start tomorrow and here’s what you can do to protect yourself, your neighbors and co-workers. Names, after all, are easier to remember than numbers or weather forecasts. But the World Meteorological (气象学的) Organization opposes naming heat waves on the grounds that it would confuse and distract the public. And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank or name heat waves either, saying that heat and its health impacts vary so dramatically across different regions and seasons that even coming up with a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible. There’s nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the most dangerous heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current approach to these disasters is falling far short of what’s necessary to protect lives. We need other ways to call attention to it and warn the public of the danger. It’s hard to make progress fighting an enemy with no name. 12. Why does the author mention the severe heat wave that covered California in July 2006? A. To clarify the severity of heat waves. B. To remind people of the tough heat wave. C. To introduce the topic of naming heat waves. D. To show people’s ignorance of the heat wave. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 2 and 3? A. Due to its effectiveness, naming waves is a must. B. There exist benefits of categorizing and naming heat waves. C. Naming heat waves can change people’s perception of the risk. D. Naming heat waves can urge people to take prompt action to protect themselves. 14. Why does the National Weather Service have no plans to name heat waves? A. It will confuse and distract the public. B. It is inappropriate for naming heat waves. C. It is difficult to distinguish and predict heat waves. D. It is unlikely to put forward a standard definition for heat waves. 15. What is the author’s attitude to naming heat waves? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要探讨了给热浪命名的潜在利弊。尽管存在争议，但作者呼吁尝试一项试点计划，给最危险的热浪命名，以更好地保护人们的生命安全。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But it may be tough to recall because heat waves don’t typically have names.”（但人们可能很难回忆起那场热浪，因为热浪通常没有名字。）以及下文对给热浪命名的讨论推知，作者通过提及2006年加利福尼亚州的热浪目的是为了引出给热浪命名这个主旨。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ The results of a survey of more than 2,000 people found that people who knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were also more likely to take actions to stay safe, including drinking more water, spending more time indoors and warning others about the risk.”（一项对 2000 多人进行的调查结果显示，知道热浪被命名为“地狱犬”的人也更有可能采取安全措施，包括多喝水、多呆在室内和提醒他人注意风险。）以及第三段中“Though more research is needed, this suggests that naming heat waves, combined with stronger messaging, can not only help change people’s perception of the risk, but prompt them to take protective action.”（尽管还需要更多的研究，但这表明，给热浪命名，再加上更有力的信息传递，不仅有助于改变人们对风险的认识，还能促使他们采取保护措施。）可知第二段、第三段主要讲述了给热浪命名的优点。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank or name heat waves either, saying that heat and its health impacts vary so dramatically across different regions and seasons that even coming up with a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible.”（美国国家气象局也不打算对热浪进行排名或命名，称不同地区和季节的热量及其对健康的影响差异巨大，甚至连热浪的标准定义都不可能提出来。）可知，美国气象局没有计划给热浪命名，是因为不可能为热浪提出一个标准定义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the most dangerous heat waves.”（通过试点项目来命名最危险热浪并不会有什么损失。）可推知，作者对于给热浪命名一事持积极、支持意见。A.Approving支持；B.Indifferent漠不关心；C.Doubtful质疑的；D.Opposed反对。结合语境翻译可知，A项Approving“支持”符合语境。故选A项。 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。 When you’re comparing yourself to famous singers such as Whitney Houston or Swift Beyoncé, it’s easy to feel like singing is out of reach.

In my early memories, I watched my parents work hard day and night. Their tireless efforts proved their love for our family and the land. One spring evening, as my father was guiding a tractor (拖拉机) across the field to sow the seeds (播种), the front light suddenly went out, making it hard for us to go on working. My father set off on a long journey to buy a new light. The cold wind blew, but it didn’t weaken his determination to finish the task. “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. When we meet difficulties, we should find ways to solve them,” he said. With my mother’s support, we replaced the light together and continued working. Then the tractor’s warm light and my father’s determination became guiding lights for me. Decades passed, and my parents grew old. They still lived in a house on the farm. Later, I started a family and took over the farm. I often told Peter, my son, who was a painter, about the importance of hard work and determination. One day, Peter visited me. He told me about the challenges of being a painter, like needing to find inspiration regularly. Recently, he hadn’t found any new ideas and was considering giving up. Silently, I led him to the place where the tractor stood. I pointed to the big tree next to the tractor, a reminder of the past. “That tree was very young when your grandparents planted it the day after we fixed the light,” I said. I shared the story with him proudly. Peter looked at the tractor and the tree, saying, “I can see you from decades ago, a little boy, learning determination and love on this land.” He smiled and said he would stick to his painting career. Only then did I realize I should personally thank my parents for their education, which also benefited my son. 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。 Just then, my parents walked out of the house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his grandparents’ stories, Peter began a new artistic journey. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just then, my parents walked out of the house. I went straight to embrace them warmly and said, “Thank you for instilling in me the importance of hard work and determination.” My mother smiled, and my father gave me a reassuring pat on the back. Peter observed us, feeling a sense of inspiration. “Grandpa, Grandma, your story has sparked new ideas for my paintings,” he remarked. My parents’ eyes shone with pride and joy. We stood there, united by a deep connection across generations, grounded in love, perseverance, and shared memories. Inspired by his grandparents’ stories, Peter began a new artistic journey. He devoted his days to sketching the farm, capturing the spirit of hard work and determination. After months of effort, Peter completed a series of paintings that showed our family’s journey. His artworks were displayed in a local gallery, earning widespread praise and admiration. Peter’s success was a reflection of the values handed down through generations. The story of the light was more than a memory. It symbolized our family’s enduring bond, which was growing stronger like the tree that had weathered countless seasons. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者的成长经历及对后代的影响。记忆中，父母在农场的辛勤工作和热爱土地的精神深深影响作者。一次，父亲在春夜播种时遇困境，展现的决心和态度成为作者的指引。作者接过农场后，常向儿子彼得传授努力工作的价值。当彼得面临挑战想放弃时，作者带他回到当年修灯之地，以真实经历激励他。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，我的父母走出了房子。”可知，第一段可描写作者对父母的感谢，以及彼得看到这一幕获得灵感。 ②由第二段首句内容“受到爷爷奶奶故事的启发，彼得开始了新的艺术之旅。”可知，第二段可描写彼得的创作过程以及获得成功和总结。 2. 续写线索：感谢父母——获得灵感——努力创作——作品展出——获得赞誉——总结 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①观察：observe/notice ②激发：spark/inspire ③展示：dispaly/exhibit 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/pleasure ②钦佩：admiration/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]After months of effort, Peter completed a series of paintings that showed our family’s journey.(运用了that引导的限定性定语从句) [高分句型2]It symbolized our family’s enduring bond, which was growing stronger like the tree that had weathered countless seasons.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
