Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one. Can children go to all theatres? Most shows are suitable for people aged 12 or older. Some productions might have material that is too mature for younger theatregoers. However, there are also fantastic family shows which are appropriate for all ages, or which are specifically aimed at kids. Are children booster seats available? Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats-for example, Nederlander theatres rent height-adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some venues will also have height restrictions so that audience sitting behind you can still see. Are there frequent breaks throughout the duration of a performance? If it’s a show for a general audience, there will usually be one or two intervals based on the running time. Most shows designed specifically for younger audiences will have short running times, like an hour or less. Can I bring my own snacks and drinks into the theatre? Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit. If you have concerns about dietary requirements, you can contact the theatre beforehand to make arrangements. Find all the latest recommendations and more information about the rules on Telegraph Tickets, or check with the box office. 1. Where is the text probably from? A. A theatre guide. B. A drama review. C. A show advertisement. D. A performance schedule. 2. Which best describes booster seats? A. Found in every theatre. B. Provided free of charge. C. Required by safety rules. D. Offered in limited number. 3. What are the theatres’ concerns behind their food policies? A. Financial gain. B. Food safety. C Cleaning cost. D. Audience experience. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是关于伦敦剧院的常见问题解答。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one.(阅读常见问题解答，让你的家庭剧院之旅愉快)”以及后文对伦敦剧院各种常见问题的详细解答可知，文章旨在为去剧院的人提供相关信息和指导。“A theatre guide(剧院指南)”符合文章的性质和用途。B项“A drama review(戏剧评论)”主要是对戏剧内容、表演等方面进行评价；C项“A show advertisement(演出广告)”侧重于宣传演出；D项“A performance schedule(演出时间表)”主要呈现演出的时间安排，均不符合文章内容。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats for example, Nederlander theatres rent height adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first come, first served basis.(一些剧院，并非所有剧院，提供增高座椅。例如，如果你向工作人员提出要求，Nederlander剧院会以1英镑的价格出租可调节高度的座椅。这些座椅是先到先得的)”可知，并不是每个剧院都有增高座椅，且是收费出租的，也未提及是安全规则要求的，而先到先得，说明数量是有限的。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit.(大多数剧院不允许你自带零食和饮料。他们在剧院内出售食品和饮料，这是他们盈利的一部分)”可知，剧院的饮食政策是为了获得经济收益。故选A项。 B If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 4. What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 5 What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 6. Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C. Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books D. Innovating Reading: The Bookloop Initiative 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国一个名为Bookloop的在线图书回购项目。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part.(参加活动的读者必须卖出至少价值5英镑的书)”可知，读者参与Bookloop的要求是出售价值5英镑或以上的旧书。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund.(他们说：“我们很高兴看到这个项目，它感觉是经过深思熟虑的，是重新利用书籍、帮助维持书店和新书购买的好方法。”作者也将从该计划中受益，因为这些二手书销售的版税将通过共享作者基金重新分配)”可知，Bookbag认为Bookloop项目是一个双赢的举措，既重新利用了书籍，又帮助维持了书店的运营和促进了新书的购买。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers.(然而，并不是所有人都对Bookloop的推出持积极态度。布里克斯顿Bookmongers的老板Patrick Kelly等一些二手书商担心，到底有多少书会卖给读者)”可推知，文章提到Patrick Kelly是为了呈现一个与Bookloop项目积极评价相对比的观点，即有人对二手书的销售数量表示担忧。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books.(现在英国有了一个完美的解决方案：Bookloop。这是一个与现有书商合作的在线回购项目，读者可以用他们已经读过的书换取信用或更多的二手书)”可知，文章主要介绍了英国的一个在线二手书回购项目Bookloop，该项目旨在通过给书籍第二次生命来减少浪费，并建立一个重视可持续性和支持书店的读者社区，C选项“Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books(Bookloop：二手书的第二次生命)”能很好地概括文章主要内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 C Wildfires are getting worse across the world. Twenty-one years of satellite data shows severe fires have more than doubled in frequency since 2003 and the six most extreme years since records began have come since 2017, causing more deaths and destruction. One European Union (EU) pilot program, the Life Landscape Fire Project (LLFP), is now using hungry mountain goats to prevent wildfires before they start. It involves a combination of controlled fires and hungry goats grazing (吃草) to reduce plant cover that can dry up in summer and fuel the rapid spread of fires. Controlled fires help burn older plants that goats don’t eat, allowing fresh green vegetation to grow which grazers like goats and cows do eat. The experimental project pays shepherds (牧羊人) to guide their goats to areas where they want the plant cover reduced, and they also build shelters and watering areas to attract free grazers to the desired spots. That’s how mountain goats and cows become mobile fire prevention units. LLFP director Andre Mota oversees this EU-funded project. “We are in one of the most affected regions by wildfires, historically speaking,” said Mota. “Last September we had a wildfire with extreme behavior that burned almost everything in its path. But our parcels managed to keep green.” A video from Mota showed that one half of the mountain was black and burned and the other green, the parts which controlled fires and hungry goats had made unlikely to burn. “We believe this proves that, when scaled up from a pilot project to a full solution, it works,” he added. The sound of goat bells rings out as the goats move peacefully on their way, offering hope in a region directly in the path of climate chaos. 8. What do we know about the LLFP? A. It protects mountain goats. B. It employs integrated methods. C. It has been conducted across Europe. D. It wins shepherds’ unconditional support. 9. What does the underlined words “the desired spots” refer to? A. Free grazers’ favorite destinations. B. Places far from shepherds’ activities. C. Spots with abundant water resources. D. Areas in need of vegetation reduction. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The influence of wildfires. B. The effectiveness of the LLFP. C. The challenges faced by the LLFP. D. The importance of preventing fires. 11. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Goats stand as a symbol of peace. B. Goats ring the alarm for quick action. C. Goats provide hope for wildfire prevention. D. Goats offer an ideal solution to climate change. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球野火情况日益恶化，欧盟的生命景观火灾项目(LLFP)采用控制燃烧和让山羊吃草等综合方法来预防野火，且成效显著。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It involves a combination of controlled fires and hungry goats grazing (吃草) to reduce plant cover that can dry up in summer and fuel the rapid spread of fires. (它包括控制燃烧和让饥饿的山羊吃草相结合，以减少夏季可能干涸并助长火势迅速蔓延的植被覆盖)”可知，LLFP采用了包括控制燃烧和让饥饿的山羊吃草相结合的综合方法。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句中“The experimental project pays shepherds (牧羊人) to guide their goats to areas where they want the plant cover reduced, and they also build shelters and watering areas to attract free grazers to the desired spots. (这个实验项目付钱给牧羊人，让他们把山羊带到他们希望减少植被覆盖的地区，他们还建造庇护所和饮水区，以吸引自由放牧的动物到他们想要的地方)”中“guide their goats to areas where they want the plant cover reduced”可推知，他们想要把山羊引导到需要减少植被覆盖的地区，所以“the desired spots”指的是“需要减少植被覆盖的地区”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“‘Last September we had a wildfire with extreme behavior that burned almost everything in its path. But our parcels managed to keep green.’ A video from Mota showed that one half of the mountain was black and burned and the other green, the parts which controlled fires and hungry goats had made unlikely to burn. ‘We believe this proves that, when scaled up from a pilot project to a full solution, it works,’ he added. (‘去年9月，我们经历了一场极端行为的野火，几乎烧毁了所到之处的一切。但我们的区域设法保持了绿色。’莫塔提供的一段视频显示，山的一半是黑色的，被烧毁了，另一半是绿色的，这是控制燃烧和饥饿的山羊使火势难以蔓延的部分。他补充说：‘我们相信这证明了，当从试点项目扩大到全面解决方案时，它是有效的。’)”可知，该段主要通过举例来说明LLFP的有效性。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The sound of goat bells rings out as the goats move peacefully on their way, offering hope in a region directly in the path of climate chaos. (当山羊平静地前行时，山羊铃铛的声音响起，为一个直接受气候混乱影响的地区带来了希望)”可知，段中想要传达的信息是，用山羊来减少植被覆盖，为野火预防带来了希望。故选C项。 D How individuals describe their experiences plays a crucial role in shaping emotions and decision-making. However, little research has examined whether language can impact how people experience time alone. To find it out, researchers studied how different terms used to describe time alone affect individuals’ understanding of it and their emotions and behaviors. In the first study, 500 adults were randomly assigned to evaluate one of five labels describing time alone: me-time, time alone, solitude (孤单), being alone, or isolation (孤独). They rated their assigned term on several dimensions, including how positive or negative it felt, its perceived impact on well-being, and whether they actively sought or avoided that type of experience. This study revealed that “me-time” was consistently rated as the most positive, with participants considering it as beneficial to well-being and something they actively sought out. In contrast, “isolation” was viewed as the least desirable. The other three labels fell somewhere in between. In the second study, 176 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a 30-minute solitude period described as either me-time or isolation. Before the session, they completed a survey measuring baseline beliefs about being alone. During the session, they avoided all social interactions, but could engage in non-social activities like reading or writing. Afterward, they rated their emotions, described their thoughts and behaviors, and reassessed their beliefs about being alone. Those who spent 30 minutes alone after being told they were having “me-time” reported an increase in positive effect, while those who were told they were in “isolation” experienced a decline in positive emotions. Additionally, participants in the “me-time” condition reported more positive beliefs about being alone after the session compared to their baseline beliefs, while those in the “isolation” condition showed no significant change. Interestingly, choice of terms did not significantly influence the activities participants engaged in. But it did appear to shape thought content, with those in the “isolation” condition being more likely to think about schoolwork, while those in the “me-time” condition were more likely to reflect on personal growth. The studies, however, involved individuals that consisted primarily of adults and undergraduate students, limiting the generalizability of the findings across diverse populations. 12. One of the research purposes is to explore ________. A. the benefits of positive emotions B. people’s preferences for time alone C. how people make decisions while alone D. how language shapes people’s perceptions 13. What can be concluded from the first study? A. People treasure their time of being alone. B. Label selection reflects people’s personality. C. People prefer being alone to social interaction. D. Terms for time alone affect emotional responses. 14. Why were the baseline beliefs about being alone rated? A. To predict future outcomes. B. To ensure accurate understanding. C. To track potential opinion shifts. D. To group the participants accordingly. 15. What is the limitation of the research? A. Contradictory results. B. Restricted participant range. C. Controlled research duration. D. Unreliable research methods. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究人员通过两项研究探讨了不同词汇描述独处时间如何影响人们对独处的理解、情绪和行为。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“To find it out, researchers studied how different terms used to describe time alone affect individuals’ understanding of it and their emotions and behaviors. (为了找到答案，研究人员研究了用来描述独处时间的不同术语如何影响个人对独处时间的理解以及他们的情绪和行为)”可知，研究目的之一是探索语言如何塑造人们的感知。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This study revealed that “me-time” was consistently rated as the most positive, with participants considering it as beneficial to well-being and something they actively sought out. In contrast, “isolation” was viewed as the least desirable. (这项研究显示，“个人时间”一直被认为是最积极的，参与者认为这对健康有益，是他们积极寻求的东西。相反，“孤立”被认为是最不可取的)”可知，从第一个研究中可以得出的结论是“孤立”被认为是最不可取的，由此可推知，独处的时间会影响情绪反应。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Additionally, participants in the “me-time” condition reported more positive beliefs about being alone after the session compared to their baseline beliefs, while those in the “isolation” condition showed no significant change. (此外，与基线信念相比，“自我时间”条件下的参与者在会议结束后报告了更多关于独处的积极信念，而“孤立”条件下的参与者没有显着变化)”可知，对独处的基本信念进行评分是为了追踪潜在的意见转变，故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The studies, however, involved individuals that consisted primarily of adults and undergraduate students, limiting the generalizability of the findings across diverse populations. (然而，这些研究涉及的个体主要由成年人和大学生组成，限制了研究结果在不同人群中的普遍性)”可知，本研究的局限性是有限的参与者范围。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a conversation, it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference. The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks “What’s been inspiring you lately?” ____16____ You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. ____17____ In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. ____18____ Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” ____19____ Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. ____20____ Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A. Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B. You might not know how to respond. C. This power extends beyond social situations. D. Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E. A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F. This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing. G. As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了提问在对话中的重要性，以及如何提出“好”问题来促进更深入、更有意义的交流。 【16题详解】 空前“Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?”(有人没有问通常的“工作怎么样？”而是问：“最近是什么在激励着你？”)”说明人问的问题变了，空后“You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you.(你发现自己在分享一本改变了你观点的书，或者最近让你感动的经历。)”说明自己分享的事情也出现了变化，空格处应该说明说的话题起了变化，A选项“Suddenly, the conversation shifts.(突然，话题转移了。)”说明了话题出现了转移，承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 空后“In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams.(在专业的环境中，深思熟虑的问题可以带来更好的解决问题和更强大的团队。)”说明了这种话题的转移的作用不光体现在社交场合，还体现在专业环境中，C选项“This power extends beyond social situations.(这种力量超越了社交场合。)”说明了话题转移的力量超越了社交场合，引起下文，符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 空后“Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic.(在问问题之前，考虑一下你真正想了解这个人或话题的什么。)”说明了在问问题之前，要想清楚你想了解什么，也就是你对这个人的哪方面比较好奇，D选项“Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity.(提出强有力的问题始于真正的好奇心。)”说明了提出强有力的问题是需要好奇心的，引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 空前“Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?”(与其问“你假期玩得开心吗？”不如问“这次旅行中，哪个瞬间让你印象最深刻？”)”提出了一个改变问问题的方式的具体例子，空格处应该说这么做的好处，F选项“This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing.(这样，你就鼓励了特定的经历和情感分享。)”说明了改变问问题的方式的好处，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 空前“The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey.(提出问题和建立更深层次联系的艺术是一个持续的过程。)”说明提出问题是持续发展的过程，空后“Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship.(每一个都是一个邀请，让你更好地了解别人，通过他们的眼睛看世界，创造人与人之间亲密联系的时刻。你的下一个问题可能会开启一段深入的对话，一个新的理解，甚至是一段改变一生的关系。)”说明了接下来问的问题是什么样的，空格处应该说明问的问题的发展，G选项“As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions.(在你前进的过程中，挑战自己，问一些更有意义的问题。)”说明了要继续去问一下更有意义的问题，是一种问题的发展，承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 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。 A 12-year-old girl’s playground dream has come true, thanks to the kindness of Clearfield City officials who supported her creativity and passion for inclusive play.

However, I believe the current arrangement has drawbacks. First, not everyone enjoys or benefits from repetitive running — some find it exhausting and boring, while others with health conditions risk injury. Additionally, too many people running on the sports field often makes it unsafe or unpleasant. To improve this, I suggest offering diverse activities. For instance, students could choose between jogging, rope-skipping, dance sessions, or quiet relaxation. Besides, grade-specific schedules might better accommodate different needs. A flexible approach would make the long break healthier and more enjoyable for all. Hopefully there’s a routine that truly energizes us! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于投稿，要求考生写一篇短文向校英语报“Your Say”栏目投稿，说明你对全体学生每天上午大课间集体跑步的顾虑和建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提高：promote→enhance 然而：however→nevertheless 另外：additionally→in addition 另外：besides→moreover 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Aiming to promote fitness, our school organizes group run during the morning break each day. 拓展句：Our school organizes group run during the morning break each day, the aim of which is to promote fitness. 【点睛】[高分句型1] However, I believe the current arrangement has drawbacks.

He had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional tricks delightful. Mark talked all the time. Jane reminded him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable and his response always sounded sincere: “Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” One morning, Jane’s patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often. She looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I’m going to tape your mouth shut!” Not even ten seconds passed before someone said, “Mark is talking again.” Having stated the punishment in front of the class, Jane decided she had to act on it. She walked to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape, made a big X with them over his mouth, and then returned to the front of the classroom. As Jane glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked (眨眼) at her. That did it! Jane started laughing. The entire class cheered as she shook her head and walked back to remove the tape. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” One Friday afternoon, after working hard on a new idea all week, the students were getting discouraged and starting to get annoyed with each other. To help lift their spirits and encourage a positive atmosphere, Jane asked them to write down the nicest things about the other students on a piece of paper and hand them in. Mark appeared nervous as if he was worrying his classmates would forget anything nice about him. That Saturday, Jane wrote down each student’s name on a separate sheet of paper and listed what everyone else had said about them. On Monday, Jane gave each student their lists. As the children read them, the classroom was filled with quiet excitement and soft laughter. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mark’s eyes widened as he read his paper. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jane was overjoyed to see Mark again at school after so many years. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mark’s eyes widened as he read his paper. He sat there in silence, his face slowly turning red. It was obvious that he was deeply touched. Throughout the rest of the day, he held that paper close, as if it were the most precious thing in the world. When class was over, he came up to Jane and said in a soft voice, “Thank you, Sister. This means so much to me.” From that day on, Mark became even more polite and hard working. He no longer talked without permission and was always actively involved in class activities. Jane was overjoyed to see Mark again at school after so many years. He had grown into a handsome and confident young man. Mark walked towards Jane with a big smile on his face. He hugged Jane tightly and said, “Sister, do you remember the list you gave me in sixth grade? I’ve kept it all these years. It changed my life. It made me believe in myself and strive to be a better person.” Jane was moved to tears. She realized that sometimes, a small act of kindness could have a huge impact on a child’s life. And those kind words written on the paper had become a precious memory and a source of strength for Mark. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jane老师与学生Mark之间的故事，从Mark爱讲话受罚，到Jane老师让学生写同学优点，Mark深受触动，多年后Mark感谢Jane老师改变了他的人生。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mark读着他的纸条，眼睛睁得大大的。”可知，第一段可描写Mark被纸条内容深深触动，之后他的行为发生积极改变，变得更加礼貌和勤奋。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年后，Jane在学校再次见到Mark，欣喜若狂。”可知，第二段可描写Mark长成自信青年，他向Jane表达那张纸条对他人生的重大影响，Jane深受感动。 2. 续写线索：Mark的感动——行为的改变——多年后的重逢——Mark的感激——Jane的感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①握着：hold/clutch ②朝……走去：walk towards/approach ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①有礼貌的：polite/courteous ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] He sat there in silence, his face slowly turning red.(运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语) [高分句型2] It was obvious that he was deeply touched.(运用了it作形式主语，that引导主语从句) [高分句型3] She realized that sometimes, a small act of kindness could have a huge impact on a child’s life.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年佛山市普通高中教学质量检测 (二) 高三英语 2025.4 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项：1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和考生号填写在答题卡上，将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。因本次笔试不包含听力测试，选择题从第二部分的“阅读”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第二部分 阅读 (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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Frequently Asked Questions about London Theatres London has a world-leading theatre scene, and it’s particularly strong when it comes to family shows. Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one. Can children go to all theatres? Most shows are suitable for people aged 12 or older. Some productions might have material that is too mature for younger theatregoers. However, there are also fantastic family shows which are appropriate for all ages, or which are specifically aimed at kids. Are children booster seats available? Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats-for example, Nederlander theatres rent height-adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some venues will also have height restrictions so that audience sitting behind you can still see. Are there frequent breaks throughout the duration of a performance? If it’s a show for a general audience, there will usually be one or two intervals based on the running time. Most shows designed specifically for younger audiences will have short running times, like an hour or less. Can I bring my own snacks and drinks into the theatre? Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit. If you have concerns about dietary requirements you can contact the theatre beforehand to make arrangements. Find all the latest recommendations and more information about the rules on Telegraph Tickets, or check with the box office. 1. Where is the text probably from? A. A theatre guide. B. A drama review. C. A show advertisement. D. A performance schedule. 2. Which best describes booster seats? A. Found in every theatre. B. Provided free of charge. C. Required by safety rules. D. Offered in limited number. 3. What are the theatres’ concerns behind their food policies? A. Financial gain. B. Food safety. C. Cleaning cost. D. Audience experience. B If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 4. What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 5. What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 6. Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books D. Innovating Reading: The Bookloop Initiative C Wildfires are getting worse across the world. Twenty-one years of satellite data shows severe fires have more than doubled in frequency since 2003 and the six most extreme years since records began have come since 2017, causing more deaths and destruction. One European Union (EU) pilot program, the Life Landscape Fire Project (LLFP), is now using hungry mountain goats to prevent wildfires before they start. It involves a combination of controlled fires and hungry goats grazing (吃草) to reduce plant cover that can dry up in summer and fuel the rapid spread of fires. Controlled fires help burn older plants that goats don’t eat, allowing fresh green vegetation to grow which grazers like goats and cows do eat. The experimental project pays shepherds (牧羊人) to guide their goats to areas where they want the plant cover reduced, and they also build shelters and watering areas to attract free grazers to the desired spots. That’s how mountain goats and cows become mobile fire prevention units. LLFP director Andre Mota oversees this EU-funded project. “We are in one of the most affected regions by wildfires, historically speaking,” said Mota. “Last September we had a wildfire with extreme behavior that burned almost everything in its path. But our parcels managed to keep green.” A video from Mota showed that one half of the mountain was black and burned and the other green, the parts which controlled fires and hungry goats had made unlikely to burn. “We believe this proves that, when scaled up from a pilot project to a full solution, it works,” he added. The sound of goat bells rings out as the goats move peacefully on their way, offering hope in a region directly in the path of climate chaos. 8. What do we know about the LLFP? A. It protects mountain goats. B. It employs integrated methods. C. It has been conducted across Europe. D. It wins shepherds’ unconditional support. 9 What does the underlined words “the desired spots” refer to? A. Free grazers’ favorite destinations. B. Places far from shepherds’ activities. C. Spots with abundant water resources. D. Areas in need of vegetation reduction. 10 What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The influence of wildfires. B. The effectiveness of the LLFP. C. The challenges faced by the LLFP. D. The importance of preventing fires. 11. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Goats stand as a symbol of peace. B. Goats ring the alarm for quick action. C. Goats provide hope for wildfire prevention. D. Goats offer an ideal solution to climate change. D How individuals describe their experiences plays a crucial role in shaping emotions and decision-making. However, little research has examined whether language can impact how people experience time alone. To find it out, researchers studied how different terms used to describe time alone affect individuals’ understanding of it and their emotions and behaviors. In the first study, 500 adults were randomly assigned to evaluate one of five labels describing time alone: me-time, time alone, solitude (孤单), being alone, or isolation (孤独). They rated their assigned term on several dimensions, including how positive or negative it felt, its perceived impact on well-being, and whether they actively sought or avoided that type of experience. This study revealed that “me-time” was consistently rated as the most positive, with participants considering it as beneficial to well-being and something they actively sought out. In contrast, “isolation” was viewed as the least desirable. The other three labels fell somewhere in between. In the second study, 176 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a 30-minute solitude period described as either me-time or isolation. Before the session, they completed a survey measuring baseline beliefs about being alone. During the session, they avoided all social interactions, but could engage in non-social activities like reading or writing. Afterward, they rated their emotions, described their thoughts and behaviors, and reassessed their beliefs about being alone. Those who spent 30 minutes alone after being told they were having “me-time” reported an increase in positive effect, while those who were told they were in “isolation” experienced a decline in positive emotions. Additionally, participants in the “me-time” condition reported more positive beliefs about being alone after the session compared to their baseline beliefs, while those in the “isolation” condition showed no significant change. Interestingly, choice of terms did not significantly influence the activities participants engaged in. But it did appear to shape thought content, with those in the “isolation” condition being more likely to think about schoolwork, while those in the “me-time” condition were more likely to reflect on personal growth. The studies, however, involved individuals that consisted primarily of adults and undergraduate students, limiting the generalizability of the findings across diverse populations. 12. One of the research purposes is to explore ________. A. the benefits of positive emotions B. people’s preferences for time alone C. how people make decisions while alone D. how language shapes people’s perceptions 13. What can be concluded from the first study? A. People treasure their time of being alone. B. Label selection reflects people’s personality. C. People prefer being alone to social interaction. D. Terms for time alone affect emotional responses. 14. Why were the baseline beliefs about being alone rated? A. To predict future outcomes. B. To ensure accurate understanding. C. To track potential opinion shifts. D. To group the participants accordingly. 15. What is the limitation of the research? A. Contradictory results. B. Restricted participant range. C. Controlled research duration. D. Unreliable research methods. 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。 In a conversation, it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference. The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?” ____16____ You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. ____17____ In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. ____18____ Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” ____19____ Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. ____20____ Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A. Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B. You might not know how to respond. C. This power extends beyond social situations. D. Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E. A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F.

He had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional tricks delightful. Mark talked all the time. Jane reminded him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable, and his response always sounded sincere: “Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” One morning, Jane’s patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often. She looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I’m going to tape your mouth shut!” Not even ten seconds passed before someone said, “Mark is talking again.” Having stated the punishment in front of the class, Jane decided she had to act on it. She walked to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape, made a big X with them over his mouth, and then returned to the front of the classroom. As Jane glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked (眨眼) at her. That did it! Jane started laughing. The entire class cheered as she shook her head and walked back to remove the tape. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” One Friday afternoon, after working hard on a new idea all week, the students were getting discouraged and starting to get annoyed with each other. To help lift their spirits and encourage a positive atmosphere, Jane asked them to write down the nicest things about the other students on a piece of paper and hand them in. Mark appeared nervous as if he was worrying his classmates would forget anything nice about him. That Saturday, Jane wrote down each student’s name on a separate sheet of paper and listed what everyone else had said about them. On Monday, Jane gave each student their lists. As the children read them, the classroom was filled with quiet excitement and soft laughter. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mark’s eyes widened as he read his paper. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jane was overjoyed to see Mark again at school after so many years. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
