Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21．Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A．To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B．To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C．To make more people know about Jane Austen. D．To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 22．Who made a mark on nursing? A．Jane Austen. B．Florence Nightingale. C．Marie Curie. D．Mother Teresa. 23．What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A．They won Nobel Prize. B．They served in the army. C．They gave all their belongings away. D．They worked for the poor. B After completing my first year of studies, I decided to relax by taking a trip through one of the most richly cultured countries in Asia: Nepal. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. Kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. I’m saying so because of what I’ve witnessed between the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. It is shown in the way bus conductors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for that last passenger who is lagging behind (落后). It is evident in how a motorist smiles and waves off a kid who runs onto the street after his ball. The people are like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day. The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha village in the district of Chitwan. It is an amazingly peaceful place, where the people live life at their own pace. It is a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as rhinos and elephants. The capital city of Kathmandu was where I spent most of my time. The city is usually very dusty, so make sure to wear a mask. Another great area in Kathmandu is the district of Thamel. Unlike most other districts, Thamel is very busy throughout the day. Out of all the places I’ve been to within Nepal, Pokhara is undoubtedly the best place to visit. There are a lot of fun things to try out. I’ve gone paragliding as well as boating in Fewa Lake, but you can also go rafting, zip flying and paramotoring. Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to. I travelled through the country for about two months and spent a little over 500 US dollars. Accommodation around Nepal is inexpensive, mostly varying from about 500 to 1,500 rupees per night per person. During my stay in Kathmandu, I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks, for 300 rupees per night, which is a great deal. In a word, Nepal is a fantastic place. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and peace of nature, or for an exciting new adventure, Nepal has a variety of choices to offer. 24．Why does the author mention bus conductors in paragraph 2? A．To thank them for all their hard work. B．To introduce Nepal’s public transportation. C．To explain Nepalese people’s sense of time. D．To show the friendliness of Nepalese people. 25．What do we know about the Sauraha village? A．It has a fast pace of life. B．It is home to many wild animals. C．It offers visitors a lot of activities. D．It is a very dusty and noisy place. 26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The costs of travel in Nepal. B．The interesting places in Nepal. C．The working people in Kathmandu. D．The author’s experiences in Kathmandu. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By following time order. B．By showing district differences. C．By sharing his own experiences. D．By explaining people’s behavior. C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. D In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 32．Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______ . A．traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B．people dislike those who love luxuries C．experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D．luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness 33．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A．The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B．The author agrees to spend money on material things. C．The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D．The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 34．What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself? A．Be selective about designer labels. B．Create your own personal unique style. C．Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D．Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. 35．The main purpose of the article is to ______ . A．persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B．prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C．tell how to express yourself through appearances D．report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness 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。 The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder (火药). 36 They used crackers (爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 37 It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 38 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. 39 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 40 A．Fireworks also have negative side effects. B．Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. C．There were other three great inventions in ancient China. D．Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. E．In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. F．Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared. G．By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. 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。 Throughout my life, I was never very athletic.

It was during my junior year in high school that I realized I needed a 43 . My friends were joining the long distance running club and also invited me to do it. At my school, there were no qualification 44 ; every student was accepted. As everyone gathered around on the first day of practice, the 45 announced it was time for “warm-up”. I imagined the warm-up would be a 46 jog around the 400-metre track. I soon 47 it was a 1-km run. After completing the run, I was 48 ! I wondered, “If that’s the warm-up, what’s next?” The real workout for the day was a 5-km run, which I mostly walked. When I came home, I really considered 49 . However, I 50 myself to keep at it and try harder. Of course, there was no real improvement 51 . I always came in last during practice and the first few 52 . As days and weeks went on, I really tried my best. During practice, I would always keep at the 53 of the group; the fastest, more confident runners were always ahead, while the laziest were behind. As the result of my 54 , the warm-up became a real warm-up. The 5-km run transformed into an 55 day of practice. And I was no longer last in anything we did. For a former couch potato, like me, this was a success. 41．A．rules B．arts C．competition D．schoolwork 42．A．endless B．pointless C．important D．challenging 43．A．change B．rest C．team D．result 44．A．trials B．alternatives C．opportunities D．reasons 45．A．competitor B．coach C．reporter D．referee 46．A．hard B．boring C．practical D．casual 47．A．decided B．suspected C．realized D．agreed 48．A．sent off B．taken away C．turned down D．worn out 49．A．complaining B．quitting C．crying D．refreshing 50．A．convinced B．taught C．sent D．helped 51．A．actually B．gradually C．separately D．instantly 52．A．performances B．presentations C．races D．steps 53．A．middle B．top C．front D．bottom 54．A．inspiration B．determination C．loyalty D．contribution 55．A．unimaginable B．avoidable C．easy D．option 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 Senior citizens are the first to come to our mind when you think of hearing loss, but in a recent report, hearing professionals worry teenagers will soon outnumber aging adults 56 it comes to living with hearing loss. The rise in popularity of personal audio devices from iPods to smart phones has had dangerous effect on the ears of those who use them most, teenagers! A research 57 (conduct) by the World Health Organization finds that nearly 50% of teens 58 (fall) into the habit of exposing themselves to unsafe levels of sound so far. A sound is considered unsafe when it goes beyond 85 decibels (分贝). At that level, it takes just 8 hours of listening over your lifetime to cause damage. The louder the sound is, the 59 (little) time it takes to cause damage. Because hearing loss is 60 (typical) considered a health problem for the elderly, it is difficult to convince already stubborn teenagers that they really are doing damage 61 their ears. Young adults 62 have been exposed to loud noise over a period of time may have some hearing loss symptoms. 63 (they) ability to learn is compromised, and they may have difficulty developing social 64 (skill). In an effort to help teens better protect their hearing, we suggest 65 (set) volume limits on personal audio devices. It is also good to limit the amount of time exposed to noise and to take listening breaks to give the ears a rest. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．2025年1月20日，国产人工智能大模型DeepSeek正式发布。假定你是李华，你校的科创社团打算在今年第一次活动中就这一话题进行研讨。请你写一封邮件给美国朋友Frank，邀请他参加这次活动。内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动安排。 要求： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Frank, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, LiHua 第二节（满分25分） 67．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。续写的词数应为150左右。 This Friday brought a mix of emotions — both excitement and disappointment — all because of a poster from school. When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I  felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Where did you get those cool shoes?

Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21．Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A．To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B．To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C．To make more people know about Jane Austen. D．To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 22．Who made a mark on nursing? A．Jane Austen. B．Florence Nightingale. C．Marie Curie. D．Mother Teresa. 23．What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A．They won Nobel Prize. B．They served in the army. C．They gave all their belongings away. D．They worked for the poor. B After completing my first year of studies, I decided to relax by taking a trip through one of the most richly cultured countries in Asia: Nepal. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. Kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. I’m saying so because of what I’ve witnessed between the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. It is shown in the way bus conductors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for that last passenger who is lagging behind (落后). It is evident in how a motorist smiles and waves off a kid who runs onto the street after his ball. The people are like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day. The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha village in the district of Chitwan. It is an amazingly peaceful place, where the people live life at their own pace. It is a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as rhinos and elephants. The capital city of Kathmandu was where I spent most of my time. The city is usually very dusty, so make sure to wear a mask. Another great area in Kathmandu is the district of Thamel. Unlike most other districts, Thamel is very busy throughout the day. Out of all the places I’ve been to within Nepal, Pokhara is undoubtedly the best place to visit. There are a lot of fun things to try out. I’ve gone paragliding as well as boating in Fewa Lake, but you can also go rafting, zip flying and paramotoring. Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to. I travelled through the country for about two months and spent a little over 500 US dollars. Accommodation around Nepal is inexpensive, mostly varying from about 500 to 1,500 rupees per night per person. During my stay in Kathmandu, I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks, for 300 rupees per night, which is a great deal. In a word, Nepal is a fantastic place. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and peace of nature, or for an exciting new adventure, Nepal has a variety of choices to offer. 24．Why does the author mention bus conductors in paragraph 2? A．To thank them for all their hard work. B．To introduce Nepal’s public transportation. C．To explain Nepalese people’s sense of time. D．To show the friendliness of Nepalese people. 25．What do we know about the Sauraha village? A．It has a fast pace of life. B．It is home to many wild animals. C．It offers visitors a lot of activities. D．It is a very dusty and noisy place. 26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The costs of travel in Nepal. B．The interesting places in Nepal. C．The working people in Kathmandu. D．The author’s experiences in Kathmandu. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By following time order. B．By showing district differences. C．By sharing his own experiences. D．By explaining people’s behavior. C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. D In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 32．Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______ . A．traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B．people dislike those who love luxuries C．experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D．luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness 33．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A．The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B．The author agrees to spend money on material things. C．The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D．The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 34．What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself? A．Be selective about designer labels. B．Create your own personal unique style. C．Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D．Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. 35．The main purpose of the article is to ______ . A．persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B．prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C．tell how to express yourself through appearances D．report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness 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。 The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder (火药). 36 They used crackers (爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 37 It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 38 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. 39 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 40 A．Fireworks also have negative side effects. B．Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. C．There were other three great inventions in ancient China. D．Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. E．In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. F．Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared. G．By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. 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。 Throughout my life, I was never very athletic. I wasn’t really into 41 , sports or conflict. The only activities I enjoyed were 42 things like watching TV and playing computer games. It was during my junior year in high school that I realized I needed a 43 . My friends were joining the long distance running club and also invited me to do it. At my school, there were no qualification 44 ; every student was accepted. As everyone gathered around on the first day of practice, the 45 announced it was time for “warm-up”. I imagined the warm-up would be a 46 jog around the 400-metre track. I soon 47 it was a 1-km run. After completing the run, I was 48 ! I wondered, “If that’s the warm-up, what’s next?” The real workout for the day was a 5-km run, which I mostly walked. When I came home, I really considered 49 . However, I 50 myself to keep at it and try harder. Of course, there was no real improvement 51 . I always came in last during practice and the first few 52 . As days and weeks went on, I really tried my best. During practice, I would always keep at the 53 of the group; the fastest, more confident runners were always ahead, while the laziest were behind. As the result of my 54 , the warm-up became a real warm-up. The 5-km run transformed into an 55 day of practice. And I was no longer last in anything we did. For a former couch potato, like me, this was a success. 41．A．rules B．arts C．competition D．schoolwork 42．A．endless B．pointless C．important D．challenging 43．A．change B．rest C．team D．result 44．A．trials B．alternatives C．opportunities D．reasons 45．A．competitor B．coach C．reporter D．referee 46．A．hard B．boring C．practical D．casual 47．A．decided B．suspected C．realized D．agreed 48．A．sent off B．taken away C．turned down D．worn out 49．A．complaining B．quitting C．crying D．refreshing 50．A．convinced B．taught C．sent D．helped 51．A．actually B．gradually C．separately D．instantly 52．A．performances B．presentations C．races D．steps 53．A．middle B．top C．front D．bottom 54．A．inspiration B．determination C．loyalty D．contribution 55．A．unimaginable B．avoidable C．easy D．option 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 Senior citizens are the first to come to our mind when you think of hearing loss, but in a recent report, hearing professionals worry teenagers will soon outnumber aging adults 56 it comes to living with hearing loss. The rise in popularity of personal audio devices from iPods to smart phones has had dangerous effect on the ears of those who use them most, teenagers! A research 57 (conduct) by the World Health Organization finds that nearly 50% of teens 58 (fall) into the habit of exposing themselves to unsafe levels of sound so far. A sound is considered unsafe when it goes beyond 85 decibels (分贝). At that level, it takes just 8 hours of listening over your lifetime to cause damage. The louder the sound is, the 59 (little) time it takes to cause damage. Because hearing loss is 60 (typical) considered a health problem for the elderly, it is difficult to convince already stubborn teenagers that they really are doing damage 61 their ears. Young adults 62 have been exposed to loud noise over a period of time may have some hearing loss symptoms. 63 (they) ability to learn is compromised, and they may have difficulty developing social 64 (skill). In an effort to help teens better protect their hearing, we suggest 65 (set) volume limits on personal audio devices. It is also good to limit the amount of time exposed to noise and to take listening breaks to give the ears a rest. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．2025年1月20日，国产人工智能大模型DeepSeek正式发布。假定你是李华，你校的科创社团打算在今年第一次活动中就这一话题进行研讨。请你写一封邮件给美国朋友Frank，邀请他参加这次活动。内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动安排。 要求： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Frank, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, LiHua 第二节（满分25分） 67．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。续写的词数应为150左右。 This Friday brought a mix of emotions — both excitement and disappointment — all because of a poster from school. When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I  felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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2B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．难度系数：0.65。 4．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） 做题时，请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。 1．Where did the woman get her shoes?

Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21．Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A．To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B．To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C．To make more people know about Jane Austen. D．To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 22．Who made a mark on nursing? A．Jane Austen. B．Florence Nightingale. C．Marie Curie. D．Mother Teresa. 23．What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A．They won Nobel Prize. B．They served in the army. C．They gave all their belongings away. D．They worked for the poor. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 【解析】这是一篇应用文。本篇文章主要讲述了历史上四位鼓舞人心的女性人物，她们分别是简·奥斯汀、弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔、玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女，介绍了她们的主要成就和对社会的贡献。 21．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.(她的头像现在出现在新版10英镑纸币上，每天都在提醒我们，她的书对我们所有人产生的影响有多大)”可知，提到10英镑纸币是为了突出简·奥斯汀的作品对社会的认可度和影响力，故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war.(她出生在一个富裕的家庭，这个家庭不赞成她从事护理工作。在收到一封来自战争部长的信，信中要求她组建一个团队，在克里米亚战争期间照顾英国士兵，之后她搬到了伦敦。这是妇女第一次被允许在军队服役。她以英雄的身份回家了，甚至还收到了维多利亚女王的感谢信。她在战争期间为医疗保健事业留下了宝贵的遗产)”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在护理方面做出了贡献，故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段“She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so.(1911年，她再次获得诺贝尔奖，这是第一位两次获得诺贝尔奖的女性)”以及第五段“She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration.(她在1979年获得诺贝尔奖，并取消了盛大的晚宴庆祝活动)”可知，玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女都获得了诺贝尔奖，故选A。 B After completing my first year of studies, I decided to relax by taking a trip through one of the most richly cultured countries in Asia: Nepal. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. Kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. I’m saying so because of what I’ve witnessed between the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. It is shown in the way bus conductors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for that last passenger who is lagging behind (落后). It is evident in how a motorist smiles and waves off a kid who runs onto the street after his ball. The people are like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day. The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha village in the district of Chitwan. It is an amazingly peaceful place, where the people live life at their own pace. It is a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as rhinos and elephants. The capital city of Kathmandu was where I spent most of my time. The city is usually very dusty, so make sure to wear a mask. Another great area in Kathmandu is the district of Thamel. Unlike most other districts, Thamel is very busy throughout the day. Out of all the places I’ve been to within Nepal, Pokhara is undoubtedly the best place to visit. There are a lot of fun things to try out. I’ve gone paragliding as well as boating in Fewa Lake, but you can also go rafting, zip flying and paramotoring. Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to. I travelled through the country for about two months and spent a little over 500 US dollars. Accommodation around Nepal is inexpensive, mostly varying from about 500 to 1,500 rupees per night per person. During my stay in Kathmandu, I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks, for 300 rupees per night, which is a great deal. In a word, Nepal is a fantastic place. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and peace of nature, or for an exciting new adventure, Nepal has a variety of choices to offer. 24．Why does the author mention bus conductors in paragraph 2? A．To thank them for all their hard work. B．To introduce Nepal’s public transportation. C．To explain Nepalese people’s sense of time. D．To show the friendliness of Nepalese people. 25．What do we know about the Sauraha village? A．It has a fast pace of life. B．It is home to many wild animals. C．It offers visitors a lot of activities. D．It is a very dusty and noisy place. 26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The costs of travel in Nepal. B．The interesting places in Nepal. C．The working people in Kathmandu. D．The author’s experiences in Kathmandu. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By following time order. B．By showing district differences. C．By sharing his own experiences. D．By explaining people’s behavior. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．A 27．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去尼泊尔旅行的所见所感。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. I’m saying so because of what I’ve witnessed between the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. It is shown in the way bus conductors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for that last passenger who is lagging behind (落后). (善良友好，随时准备帮助需要帮助的人。我之所以这么说，是因为我亲眼目睹了市民之间的关系，而不是他们如何对待我。它表现在公共汽车售票员和乘客都让公共汽车等最后一位落在后面的乘客。)”可知，作者提到公交车售票员是为了说明尼泊尔人很友善，乐于助人。故选D项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha village in the district of Chitwan. It is an amazingly peaceful place, where the people live life at their own pace. It is a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as rhinos and elephants.  (我在尼泊尔参观的第一个地方是奇特旺地区的萨勒哈村。这是一个极其宁静的地方，人们按照自己的节奏生活。这里是观赏一些野生动物的绝佳区域，比如犀牛和大象。)”可知，在萨勒哈村你可以看到一些野生动物，由此可知，它是许多野生动物的家园。故选B项。 26．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to. I travelled through the country for about two months and spent a little over 500 US dollars. Accommodation around Nepal is inexpensive, mostly varying from about 500 to 1,500 rupees per night per person. During my stay in Kathmandu, I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks, for 300 rupees per night, which is a great deal. (尼泊尔是一个旅行花费不高的目的地。我在这个国家旅行了大约两个月，只花了 500 多美元。尼泊尔各地的住宿费用都不高，通常每人每晚大约在 500 到 1500 卢比之间。我在加德满都停留期间，在一家很棒的酒店住了两周，每晚只需 300 卢比，真的很划算。)”可知，本段主要讲述了去尼泊尔旅行的花费。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据首段“After completing my first year of studies, I decided to relax by taking a trip through one of the most richly cultured countries in Asia: Nepal. (完成第一年的学业后，我决定去亚洲文化最丰富的国家之一——尼泊尔旅行放松一下。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己在尼泊尔旅行的经历来展开文章。故选C项。 C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项来自中国的研究团队的创新成果——使用水滴构建的新型设备，该设备有助于微小液体的研究和管理，并强调了其易于构建、调整和改造的特点。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion.(然而，中国的一个研究团队用水滴制造出了一种新型设备。这些设备有助于对微量液体进行研究和管理，而且最棒的是，它们易于制造、调整和改造)”可知，该设备的特别之处在于使用了水滴，这与通常用固体材料制造的设备不同。故选C。 29．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets(水滴)could do something similar.(杜鑫意识到，就像积木可以amalgamated在一起并重新排列一样，水滴也能做到类似的事情)”可推测，积木是可以组合在一起并重新排列。选项B“combined”意为“结合、组合”与此相符。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient.(杜鑫的团队还在努力改进这个系统，他们打算制作更小的通道。他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展，类器官研究主要是对由活细胞制成的人造器官进行研究。这个新系统可以为这些正在生长的细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，从而使对活体组织的研究更加准确和高效)”可知，他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展，该系统可以为正在生长的细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，使对活体组织的研究更加准确和高效。类器官研究属于医学研究范畴，该系统能推动类器官研究发展，为细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，这表明它有望在医疗领域得到广泛应用。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks.(这个项目的灵感来源于积木。中国南京东南大学的研究员杜鑫，在一名学生带来一套积木时获得了启发)”以及全文内容可知，文章开篇介绍中国团队用水滴制造出新型设备，接着说明该项目的灵感来源于积木，研究员杜鑫受积木可以拼接和重新排列的启发，想到水滴也能如此，进而设计出控制液体流动的系统，最后提到团队对该系统的改进和期望。选项B“Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids”准确概括了文章核心内容，即积木的拼接和排列方式给研究员带来灵感，促使其设计出用水滴控制液体流动的新方法来研究液体。故选B。 D In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 32．Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______ . A．traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B．people dislike those who love luxuries C．experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D．luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness 33．What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A．The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B．The author agrees to spend money on material things. C．The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D．The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 34．What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself? A．Be selective about designer labels. B．Create your own personal unique style. C．Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D．Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. 35．The main purpose of the article is to ______ . A．persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B．prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C．tell how to express yourself through appearances D．report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．B 35．A 【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了奢侈品消费现象，指出追求物质并不带来幸福，而通过旅行和体验获得的快乐更持久且有助于个人形象的形成。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. (事实上，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校Leaf Van Boven的一系列研究表明，在旅行和类似经历上花钱的人比那些把钱花在物质上的人获得更多的快乐)”可知，Leaf Van Boven的研究表明，与奢侈品相比，经历能给人们带来更多的幸福，故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. (我也是一个时尚主义者，至少在精神上——我喜欢看衣服和鞋子。但我不明白为什么人们会花那么多钱买名牌。当一个年轻女子花了她两个月的工资买一个手提包时，这是一件可怕的事情)”可推知，作者批评年轻人花很多钱来买设计师品牌，以此来打扮自己的行为。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. (想要通过自己的外表来表达自己是很自然的。所以我的建议是：创造一种不受设计师品牌束缚的造型。传达你自己的信息)”可知，作者建议人们不要通过设计师标签来表达自己，由此可推知，作者建议人们要创造你自己独特的风格来表达自己。故选B。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. (你不必倾家荡产来传达你是谁的信息。去旅行。走进外面的世界。然后回来，自信地创造自己的标志性形象)”结合文章主要说明了在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。可推知，作者的写作目的是：说服读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上，故选A。 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。 The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder (火药). 36 They used crackers (爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 37 It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 38 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. 39 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 40 A．Fireworks also have negative side effects. B．Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. C．There were other three great inventions in ancient China. D．Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. E．In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. F．Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared. G．By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．B 39．A 40．E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了烟花的历史和发展。 36．由上文“The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder (火药). (烟花的历史始于公元前一世纪左右，当时中国人发明了火药)”及下文“They used crackers (爆竹）to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. (他们用爆竹来吓跑邪灵，表达美好的祝愿。早期的中国烟花一般都是爆竹，专门用来发出很巨响)”可知，此处应介绍中国人发明火药后在烟花方面的发展。G选项“By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. (到公元10世纪，中国人已经为新年制作烟花了)”能承上启下，说明中国烟花的发展，符合题意。故选G。 37．由上文“Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. (人们普遍认为，马可·波罗将火药带到了欧洲。因此，一些欧洲人试图模仿制造火药的方法来制作自己的烟花)”及下文“It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. (它开发了礼花弹，这种弹可以在爆炸前被推到高空。这一发明进一步推动了烟花的发展，使烟花表演更具吸引力)”可知，上文提到欧洲人试图模仿制造火药的方法来制作自己的烟花，下文则说某项发明推动了烟花的发展，说明空格处应说明是哪个国家或地区对烟花的发展做出了贡献。D选项“Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. (意大利对烟花的历史做出了特殊贡献)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 38．由上文“Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. (生产商开始尝试制作更大、更复杂的烟花，这些烟花爆炸后会呈现出五彩缤纷的图案)”及下文“Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. (此外，它们以特殊的颜色、图案和形状为特色，旨在吸引观众，这与10世纪的爆竹大相径庭)”可知，上文提到烟花生产商开始制作更复杂的烟花，下文则说这些烟花有特殊的颜色、设计和形状，旨在吸引观众，此处应继续说明这些复杂烟花的特点。B选项“Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. (烟花表演开始持续更长的时间)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 39．由下文“In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. (20世纪，烟花生产商开始对此表示担忧。他们开始注意到，许多用来制造烟花美丽色彩的化学物质是相当有害的，而且烟花还会产生大量有害气体。因此，一些烟花生产商开始尝试生产烟雾更少的烟花)”可知，本段介绍的是烟花的负面影响。A选项“Fireworks also have negative side effects. (烟花也有负面影响)”能概括下文主旨，符合题意。故选A。 40．由上文“While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. (虽然烟花的历史已经从驱鬼的爆竹发展到了相当的程度，但烟花表演仍然让世界各地的人们惊叹不已，在许多人眼中，烟花的鲜艳色彩与重大庆祝活动紧密相连。因此，烟花表演通常都很受欢迎。而专门从事烟花的公司可以对他们的服务收取高价，尤其是在重大节日)”可知，此处应总结烟花虽然有负面影响但仍有很多人喜欢。E选项“In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. (尽管如此，烟花仍有许多顾客)”能总结上文，符合题意。故选E。 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。 Throughout my life, I was never very athletic.

However, I 50 myself to keep at it and try harder. Of course, there was no real improvement 51 . I always came in last during practice and the first few 52 . As days and weeks went on, I really tried my best. During practice, I would always keep at the 53 of the group; the fastest, more confident runners were always ahead, while the laziest were behind. As the result of my 54 , the warm-up became a real warm-up. The 5-km run transformed into an 55 day of practice. And I was no longer last in anything we did.

A research 57 (conduct) by the World Health Organization finds that nearly 50% of teens 58 (fall) into the habit of exposing themselves to unsafe levels of sound so far. A sound is considered unsafe when it goes beyond 85 decibels (分贝). At that level, it takes just 8 hours of listening over your lifetime to cause damage. The louder the sound is, the 59 (little) time it takes to cause damage. Because hearing loss is 60 (typical) considered a health problem for the elderly, it is difficult to convince already stubborn teenagers that they really are doing damage 61 their ears. Young adults 62 have been exposed to loud noise over a period of time may have some hearing loss symptoms. 63 (they) ability to learn is compromised, and they may have difficulty developing social 64 (skill).

When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I  felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 His words set me thinking. As I reflected on Mr. Weston’s words, the analogy （类比）of pine roots growing out, not down, struck a chord with me deeply. Perhaps I could learn something valuable from stepping beyond my comfort zone, just like the tree’s need to spread its roots to grow tall. Surprisingly, even in the absence of my best friend, the idea of the art camp now seemed so appealing. Fueled by this newfound understanding, I eagerly shared my insights with Mum, who listened attentively as I poured out my thoughts. With her approving nod and encouraging gaze, I felt a surge of determination and confidence to embrace the camp as an opportunity for artistic exploration and growth. The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. As I handed in my registration form, the initial disappointment I felt gradually gave way to a thrilling sense of anticipation, fueled by the countless possibilities awaiting me. Throughout the camp, I immersed myself in interactive workshops, eagerly absorbing new techniques and connecting with fellow art enthusiasts like me. It turned out that the strangers I was initially afraid of were already my friends. From this experience, I realized that embracing unfamiliarity and conquering fears can pave the way for remarkable personal growth and opportunities. The towering pine tree in the Westons’ yard serves as a constant reminder that the strongest growth often springs from venturing into the unknown world. 【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有绘画天赋，想要参加艺术营，又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston先生，Weston先生的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营，在画画的时候专心致志，交到了朋友，也接触了一个全新的世界，展现了一个关于勇敢面对未知、克服恐惧并实现个人成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的话让我陷入了思考。”以及第二段首句内容“接下来的周一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第一段可描写作者不禁想到自己，自己也需要像树一样走出自己的舒适区才能学到有价值的东西，在妈妈的鼓励下，作者决定去报名。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的周一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第二段可描写作者在艺术营期间克服了恐惧，融入了群体中。 2.续写线索：他的话让作者陷入了沉思中——想到松树的根是向外生长而不是向下生长，作者不禁想到了自己——自己只有走出舒适区才能学到有价值的东西——于是，作者和妈妈倾诉了自己的想法——妈妈的眼中满是鼓励和自豪——于是，作者报名参加了艺术营——在艺术营期间，作者投入到互动工作坊中，并遇到了一样热爱艺术的同伴——通过这件事，作者克服了自己的恐惧，得到了成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①上交：hand in/submit ②明白：realize/come to know ③克服：conquer/get over 情绪类 ①令人惊讶地：surprisingly/to one’s surprise ②激动的：thrilling/exhilarating 【点睛】【高分句型1】Fueled by this newfound understanding, I eagerly shared my insights with Mum, who listened attentively as I poured out my thoughts.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句和as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I handed in my registration form, the initial disappointment I felt gradually gave way to a thrilling sense of anticipation, fueled by the countless possibilities awaiting me.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词的限制性定语从句） 21 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 英语·参考答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B C B A C B C B A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A A C A B C B A C B 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D B A D B A C C B A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 B C C B A 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36 37 38 39 40 G D B A E 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C B A A B D C D B A 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 D C A B C 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56．when 57．conducted 58．have fallen 59．less 60．typically 61．to 62．who/that 63．Their 64．skills 65．setting 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 (满分15分) 66．Dear Frank, Our school’s science and technology innovation club is planning its first activity this year, which focuses on the newly released domestic AI large model DeepSeek on January 20, 2025.
