Once it gets dark, you can gather around the Courthouse to watch the magical lights turn on to kick off the holiday season. 　　Leavenworth, WA 　　One of the most magical places to celebrate the spirit of Christmas is in the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, WA．With over half a million Christmas lights, you are sure to be impressed. See St. Nikolas and visit the Leavenworth Reindeer farm when the reindeer are taking a break from flying practice. Reserve an afternoon sleigh ride or go sledding right on the hills along the main- street. 　　Chicago, IL 　　Chicago is one of the most festive US cities during Christmas. You can find many holiday activities and events including an authentic Christmas market, holiday light displays, and more. One of the top things to do is to visit Christkindlmarket where you can purchase decorations and gifts. Other fun activities include skating at outdoor skating rinks and riding on a Christmas-themed train. 　　New York City 　　New York City is one of the most iconic and magical Christmas cities in the USA．There are an endless number of Christmas festivities to partake in and sites to see.

B 　　A primary school has announced that it no longer requires parents to sign their children’s homework. 　　A newspaper comments: Putting an end to the requirement that parents sign the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents, as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard day’s work. But there are worries that if parents stop signing their children’s homework, the children will not get good grades. 　　However, the most efficient way for children to study is to cultivate their willingness to learn and do their own studies. When doing homework, students practice and hopefully apply what they have learned. True teachers are supposed to check students’ homework and identify their mistakes. But some parents correct their children’s mistakes by themselves when signing the homework. 　　It is students’ duty to do their homework, be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes. Parents supervising their homework, checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make children less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents’ help when they face any problems. 　　Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves, as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats rigid tasks in which he is assisted at school by teachers and at home by parents. 　　An experiment conducted by American psychologist Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline performed better in their studies and relationships. 　　There is little doubt that parents’ supervision can make children’s homework better. But it does not give children the chance to solve problems independently. 24．What can we learn about the announcement? A．Parents don' t support it. B．It makes everyone pleased. C．It makes parents worried. D．It reduces parents' burdens. 25．What’s the most efficient way for children to study? A．Teachers check students' homework. B．Parents sign their children's homework. C．Children are willing to learn by themselves. D．Parents supervise their children' homework. 26．What will happen to children if parents supervise their homework? A．They will lack confidence. B．They may feel great pressure. C．They will be more independent. D．They may not realize their mistakes 27．What’s the author’s attitude to parents signing their children’s homework? A．Opposed. B．Neutral. C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned. C 　　Envision a futuristic rooftop garden so astute that it is capable of discerning the optimal moments to hoard water in anticipation of arid conditions, and when to expel water to avert inundation. Now, such intelligent roofs are transitioning from the realm of fantasy to reality in the Netherlands. 　　With a substantial portion of the nation situated below sea level, the Netherlands has long been acquainted with the perils of flooding. The advent of climate change has ushered in an era of more extreme meteorological phenomena, including torrential downpours and periods of drought, compelling the city of Amsterdam to contemplate novel strategies for self-preservation, and it is within this context that Resilio emerges as a pivotal player. 　　As per the assertions on their official website, Resilio is engaged in the construction of blue- green roofs across the expanse of Amsterdam. In conjunction with the local governmental authorities, from the years 2018 through to 2022, they have installed specialized roofing systems in the neighborhoods of Amsterdam that are most vulnerable to the ravages of flood damage. 　　These roofs are composed of a multitude of strata. Paramount among these layers is the water retention layer. During episodes of copious rainfall, this layer serves to accumulate the rainwater that would otherwise inundate the streets, and in times of drought, it channels its stored water to nourish the garden situated on the uppermost layer. It is this particular layer that distinguishes the blue-green roofs from their conventional green counterparts. Research indicates that blue-green roofs possess the capacity to capture as much as 97% of extreme rainfall, in stark contrast to the mere 12% that regular green roofs can retain. 　　However, what truly sets Resilio roofs apart is their sophisticated systems. An array of blue- green roofs are interconnected via a digital communication network, thereby enabling each roof to be manipulated independently, responding to the volume of water amassed on that specific roof as the situation demands. Each roof is also equipped with a valve that is linked to a computerized system known as the Decision Support System (DSS). The DSS interfaces with local weather prognostications to determine whether the valve on a particular roof should be opened, allowing water to be discharged in a controlled and gradual manner into the sewerage system, or whether it should remain sealed to collect the impending rain. 　　These innovations are the hallmarks that render Resilio truly revolutionary. Blue-green roofs exemplify that the remedies to the hazards posed by climate change necessitate a blend of creativity and a multifaceted approach, operating on various levels to mitigate the adverse effects of our changing environment. 28．What may directly lead to the building of Resilio roofs in Amsterdam? A．The increasing disasters. B．The city's financial suffering. C．The ever-rising sea level. D．The city's geographic advantage. 29．What do we know about the water retention layer of Resilio roofs? A．They are slow to drought. B．They are absolutely perfect. C．They serve a double purpose. D．They can trap solar energy. 30．What is the main function of the DSS according to the text? A．To collect weather information. B．To control the use of the valve. C．To help the sewer system work. D．To connect the digital network. 31．What might be the best title of this passage? A．Smart roof systems becoming a reality in Auckland B．Resilio blue-green roof systems preventing disasters C．The working principle of the blue-green roof systems D．The differences between Resilio roofs and regular green roofs D 　　In most theoretical models examining how reputations impact people’s desire to cooperate with one another, reputations are defined as either good or bad, based on limited information. These models have typically assumed that a single action determines someone’s reputation. 　　There is a lot of information available about people’s behavior in today’s world, especially with social media. A research by biology professor Jeshua Plotkin’s team showed that looking at multiple actions and forgiving some bad actions is a method of judging behavior that is sufficient to sustain cooperation, a method they call “look twice, forgive once.” 　　The basic idea in this study is that if you observe two interactions of somebody and at least one of them is an action that you would consider good, then you cooperate with that person, but otherwise you reject them. 　　The research points out that even if different people in a society subscribe to different standards of judgment, “look twice, forgive once” still generates sufficientconsensusto promote cooperation. Plotkin says that this method maintains cooperation without referring to reputations released by public institutions It offers an important alternative when public institutions exist but decrease of trust in them prevents cooperation. 　　Plotkin says all researchers were surprised that the “look twice, forgive once” strategy couldn’t be displaced by other strategies, such as always cooperating or always rejecting, looking at more than two actions from a person, or forgiving a different proportion of “bad actions”. Perhaps most surprisingly looking more than twice didn’t generate an additional benefit. “Information turned out to be a doubles edged sword, so that even, when information was freely accessible, individuals were typically unable to use all of it,” he adds. 　　Plotkin notes that the overall simplicity and reliability of their findings indicate that this behavioral strategy might be old in human societies. The researchers see potential for anthropologists (人类学家) and behavioral scientists to build on their work. 32．How does Plotkin’s method of judging behavior-A(differ from prior models? A．It relies mainly on social media. B．It emphasizes public reputation. C．It requires less personal information. D．It takes into account more behaviors. 33．What can be inferred about the “look twice” method? A．It broadens the definition of reputation. B．It develops alternative ways to cooperate. C．It encourages concentration on good behaviors. D．It aims to provide a solution to social problems. 34．What does the underlined word “consensus” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Agreement. B．Resources. C．Motivation. D．Benefits. 35．What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the “look twice” strategy? A．Its effectiveness. B．Its application. C．Its disadvantages. D．Its influence. 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 。 Have you had a meltdown lately?

As the only child of my parents, the latest fashions were always in reach for me. I liked having the latest clothes and a particular look. Sometimes I felt I wouldn’t be accepted unless I could create the right image with the latest clothes and shoes. I would go shopping all the time. As time went by, however, the things I wanted were getting more expensive and my mother’s answer was no longer “yes” to everything. One day I asked my mother for a little extra money to go shopping. After giving me a long speech about not spending too much on clothes, she decided to give me a credit card so that I could learn to handle money like an adult. It sounded like a great idea to me: I wouldn’t have to ask her for money all the time. I’d be free. A few days later, she handed me the card and sat me down to talk about my spending limit. “Don’t go crazy buying everything you see. I’m paying that bill every month—remember that. Your limit is $ 150 every month. Think you can handle that?” she said. “I can handle it, you’ll see,” I said, already thinking about the first thing I was going to buy. For the first two months, I only used the card to buy small things—a shirt here and there and treating my friends to a meal. Once I got used to having the card, I started going shopping every week, always managing to find something I wanted but didn’t need. So far, I wasn’t going over my limit and there were no complaints from my mother. But one day, I saw a pair of UGG boots I wanted that cost $250. They were very popular, and seeing others with them made me want them more. At that moment, nothing could stop me from getting them, not even the bill or what my mother would say about it. I bought them even though they were way over my limit. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为 150 个左右； (2) 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: For the first few days, I hid them from my mother because I didn’t want her to make me return them. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Once she took my card away, things changed a lot. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 石家庄市第一中学 2025 届高考第一次模拟考试 英语答案 1.

Yours, Li Hua 67．例文： For the first few days, I hid them from my mother because I didn’t want her to make me return them. Of course, she’d find out sooner or later, but I decided I’d worry about that when the time came. For now I was enjoying my new boots. However, when the credit card bill came and my mother found out the case, she was very upset, and called me over to yell at me and let me know how disappointed she was that I’d abused her trust. She asked me to give back the credit card. Once she took my card away, things changed a lot. There were fewer shopping trips, and all the things I wanted seemed out of reach. Gradually, I knew my mother was right; life is about more than material things. Once, having the latest clothes and shoes gave me a sense of importance, but now, I’m more worried about paying my bills on time and handling money for the future. As I grow older, image is still important to me, but having the latest of everything isn’t. 听力原文： 1-5 题（短对话） 1 题： W: Hello, Mike. This is Mrs. Wang. Why aren’t you in class yet? It’s going to be late! M: Sorry, Mrs. Wang. I’ve been coughing and I have a sore throat. I’m on my way to the hospital now. 2 题： W: Hello, Owen. I heard you have a very important basketball game tomorrow. M: Yeah, my team has been training very hard for it for the past two weeks. W: I believe your team will win. 3 题： W: Mr. Brown, I heard you’re going to Chicago. Are you going there for a business trip? M: No. My son is attending college there. He has no time to come back. I’m going there with my wife so we can stay together as a family. 4 题： M: You look great today. W: Um...I’m enjoying myself in the sunshine, breathing the salty sea air and listening to the sound of waves. 5 题： W: Jack, have you brushed your teeth? M: No, I already brushed them this morning. I’m busy doing my homework. W: Jack, you know you have to brush them twice a day. Dr. Brunswick said so. Don’t talk back. Just go do it now. 6-7 题（长对话）： M: Oh, the phone is ringing! W: Wait! Let me answer the phone. It must be mine! Hello, this is Betty speaking. Who’s calling? What? Happy Coffee Shop? Wrong number! I thought it was a call about the result of my interview. M: Please stop being so anxious. Didn’t you say they would inform you in a week? W: It has been two days. M: You need to be patient. Try to calm down. W: Perhaps you’re right. I’ll just try to wait peacefully. 8-10 题（长对话）： W: Henry, who is the younger man in the picture? M: That’s my uncle’s son Cory Nieves. He’s my role model. W: What makes him your role model? M: His ability of doing business. He started selling hot chocolate when he was just six years old. He later added cookies and lemonade to the menu as the weather changed. He and his mother came up with their cookie recipe and focused their sales on cookies. His mother was surprised by his success as he was making upwards of 300 dollars a day. W: That’s really amazing. M: Right. Now he runs his own business called Mr. Cory Cookies. And he has created some job opportunities for others. W: Does he work in the business full time now? M: No. He is still a high school student. When he’s at school, his mother helps carry on business. W: Do you work for them sometimes? M: No. They just hire struggling young mothers. 11-13 题（长对话）： W: Jack, how did you get to school when you were in primary school? M: I lived close to my school, so I walked every day. Why? W: Well, I remember that when we were kids, we often walked, rode a bike or caught the bus to school. Few of us were dropped off at the school gate by our parents. M: I see what you mean. These days you can see traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-up times, but it’s hard to blame the parents. They have good reasons for driving their kids to school, mostly to do with safety and convenience. W: You have a point there, but it could also mean children are missing out on much needed exercise and other life skills. Some parents are just being over-protective, with their children learning nothing but living in fear of everything. Studies have found that children who spend more time outside tend to be healthier, better adjusted and better at dealing with stress. 14-17 题（长对话）： W: Good morning, Michael. I’ve been thinking about calling you. What’s going on over there? M: Hi, Janet. We’re on the third day of our ten European capital cities in ten days challenge. It’s been a mad three days so far. It all began when we flew into the English capital London on Thursday afternoon. We had a quick look around and a good night’s sleep and then got on the morning train to Paris, the capital of France. The following day, we traveled to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and that’s where we are now enjoying breakfast. W: And your plan is to visit seven more capitals in the next seven days? So are you headed to Germany next? M: Now we’ll travel to Berlin in Germany in two days’ time. Before that, it’s Amsterdam in the Netherlands. After Berlin, we work our way through Europe, ending in Portugal’s capital, Lisbon next week. W: You’re traveling with your friends from university, right? M: Yes, we are all having a great time. W: What about we make a video call next time? I’m looking forward to seeing the views. M: Of course, speak soon. 18-20 题（长对话）： W: Excuse me? M: Yes. W: Are you reading this paper? M: Oh no, help yourself. W: Thank you. I asked because the paper is next to you. M: That’s polite of you to ask. So you’re interested in chemistry, too. W: No, it’s mostly for study and exams. M: Yes, I know. I was in your position before, but now I study for my job. I work in a drugstore. This job requires not only my serious attitude but also my professional knowledge. W: Yeah, although I’m not into studies, I want to be a doctor like my mother. M: But it can’t be realized without hard work. W: You said it. I will change my attitude from now on. Thank you very much.
