This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently. At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser. Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.” Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you?” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.” After the show was broadcast Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.” 4. What do we know about Owusu when he was 13? A. He met with Thatcher twice. B. He joined a famous golf club. C. He hosted a BBC’s programme. D. He lived at the bottom of society. 5. What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Turning point. B. Important decision. C. Social status. D. Remarkable achievement. 6. Based on the text what made a big difference to Owusu? A. Others’ treating him equally at work. B. Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton. C. Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity. D. Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Dialogue B. The Power of Confidence C. A Life-changing Meeting D. A Status-improving Tale C In Hungary, every few months, a group of volunteers gather for the Plastic Cup, a competition where teams go up against each other to collect as much rubbish as possible. “The name comes from the American Cup, a famous boat race,” said the Plastic Cup’s project manager, Gergely Hankó, adding, “We have many volunteers, including companies and decision-makers. Everybody is forming the team.” The most recent Plastic Cup meeting was held on Hungary’s Lake Tisza and the Tisza River, the Danube’s longest tributary (支流). Besides huge amounts of plastic like bottles, volunteers often fish out metal cans, tyres, batteries and so on. Around 150 volunteers joined this cleanup, with one participant noting, “It’s always good fun and we’re making friends and having fun while doing good.” Nearly half of Earth’s surface waters are in river basins shared by at least two countries. These support around 40% of the world’s population. “Unluckily, there’s much pollution in every river globally. The Danube transfers 1,500 tons of plastic, the Tisza around 250 tons, and we can stop 100 tons per year,” Gergely said when stressing the broader impact of the Plastic Cup project. This year’s cleanup on the Tisza River also falls on Danube Day, a yearly event held across several European countries to mark the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention. “What we can do is to collect and remove plastic rubbish from the Tisza River and its tributaries, and we also have a monitoring system to keep the pollution under observation,” said Örs Antal from Hungary’s General Directorate of Water Management. “The situation has improved a lot, which is good news, but a step towards a permanent measure would be whether we could strengthen international cooperation.” Agreeing with the opinion, Gergely said more cooperation would be needed between countries that share surface waters. “We need everybody to clean up the Tisza basin and the Danube basin,” he said. “Every country has to develop its Extended Producer Responsibility system and its Deposit Return system. Then you have to deal with the producers, work on eco-design, reduce the packaging, and reduce the generated rubbish.” 8. How can the participants benefit from the competition? A. Have a larger social circle. B. Obtain more survival skills. C. Be better at making decisions. D. Learn a rich knowledge of teamwork. 9. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To draw more attention to the Tisza. B. To indicate the necessity for the project. C. To show the popularity of the competition. D. To stress the shortage of the water resource. 10. What does the Hungarian government probably do in order to protect the Danube river? A. Organize daily cleanup activities. B. Establish their own Danube Day. C. Force companies to pick up rubbish. D. Watch the pollution through a device. 11. What is necessary for a lasting solution to river pollution according to Gergely? A. Increasing the number of volunteers. B. Setting up more environmental events. C. Strengthening international partnerships. D. Reducing the cost of cleanup operations. D In the UK, there are about 12 million people suffering with hearing loss, and approximately 6.7 million could benefit from hearing aids. However, only about 2 million people use them. People with hearing loss may feel hearing aids are meant only for older people. They can feel a sense of embarrassment, ageing and lack of confidence when wearing them. Besides, some people have no confidence in hearing aids and believe they will not help, or will even make their hearing worse. Individuals sometimes believe they will be dependent on their hearing aids, thus choosing not to use them out of desire for independence. Therefore, people with hearing loss may turn to coping mechanisms such as excessively(过度地)turning the volume up on their TVs. In the UK, patients with hearing loss can obtain hearing aids free of charge through National Health Service(NHS). However, the choice of style, manufacturer and level of technology may be limited and can also involve lengthy waiting lists. There are a greater number of hearing aid options available in the private sector but these can sometimes be expensive, which can be a prohibitive factor for individuals. There are some negative perspectives about hearing aids, such as the appearance. Many people have the idea that hearing aids are huge and noticeable. However, there are many different types of hearing aids such as invisible ones in ear canals. The hearing aid selection is discussed with each individual at their hearing assessment, and the correct hearing aids are selected according to their level of hearing loss. There have been other advancements in technology such as rechargeable hearing aids. There is now wireless connectivity in many hearing aids, which enables hearing aids to be connected to mobile devices, tablets and televisions, allowing direct audio streaming into hearing aids. Undoubtedly, wearing hearing aids is very beneficial for well-being, allowing individuals to interact with others and hear better. All of the advancements in technology in the future mean the functionality and comfort of hearing aids will greatly increase, considerably improving the quality of life for more people with hearing loss. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What people with hearing loss should do. B. How older people respond to hearing aids. C. Why some people avoid using hearing aids. D. Whether hearing aids will affect independence. 13. Which of the following may prevent people getting hearing aids from NHS? A. The cost can be higher. B. Patients may have to wait for long. C. Many people have no access to the related policy. D. Some private sectors get hearing aids in advance. 14. What is mainly considered during the hearing aid selection process? A. The cost of the hearing aids. B. The individual’s personal preference. C. The individual’s specific hearing loss. D. The appearance of the hearing aids. 15. What can we expect of the hearing aids in the future? A. They will be connected to more devices. B. They will be made smaller and more fashionable. C. They will enable users to interact more with others. D They will provide high-quality and better service for users. 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A recent survey found a quarter of people aged 18 to 34 never answer the phone and nearly 70% prefer a text to a phone call. For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past. ____16____ Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing.____17____ As our lives and working schedules get busier, people have less time to call friends simply to catch up. Phone calls, then, are kept only for important news in their lives. This tendency is also seen in the workplace. Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.____18____ ____19____ “I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says. ____20____ Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient. Perhaps now it’s time to accept the power of text and just as we gave up using the fax machine in the 1990s, we can leave the undesirable phone calls behind now. A. Others argue that phone calls are still irreplaceable. B. Over half believe unexpected calls signal bad news. C. For example, he often delays answering calls for hours. D. This pressure to multitask affects productivity negatively. E. Thus, texters emerged around 2000, using calls only for emergencies. F. Just as fax machines were abandoned, unwanted phone calls can now be phased out. G. However, Ciara Brodie, a 25-year-old female supermarket manager, is against the flow. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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， At an altitude of 4,700 meters in Himalayas, a pursuit of highly valued caterpillar fungus (虫草) is filled with danger, yet the potential ____21____ make it a crucial effort for the local community.

He paid no attention to anything. His house fell into disrepair, with dust gathering everywhere and dirty dishes piling up in the sink. He gave up cooking and survived on TV dinners and toast. His clothes went unwashed, and he neglected his personal care, with a shaggy beard and messy hair. His daughter, Melanie, was extremely worried. She drove to his house and pleaded, “Dad! This isn’t right. You can’t stay here. Come live with us.” But Walter shot back angrily, “I don’t want to live in your house. I’m fine. Just leave me alone!” Melanie left, her heart heavy with concern. A few weeks later, Walter walked to the supermarket to buy his usual TV dinners and bread. As he crossed the road, his mind elsewhere, he didn’t look either way. A car hit him, and an ambulance rushed him to the hospital. At the hospital, Melanie exclaimed, “Dad! You’re not living alone anymore. You’re coming to our house.” Walter, weak and defeated, finally agreed. At Melanie’s house, her husband Roger wasn’t pleased. “Your father is dirty and always in a bad mood. Why is he living with us?” he complained. Melanie firmly replied, “He’s my father. He’s old and heartbroken. He needs to stay.” Roger sighed and said, “I understand.” Rosa, Melanie and Roger’s daughter, was nine years old. One evening during dinner Melanie announced, “Tomorrow, Rosa’s school has Grandparent’s Day.” Walter, curious, asked, “What’s Grandparent’s Day?” Melanie explained, “The children’s grandparents visit the school, watch the kids’ activities, and play games with them. It’s really fun.” Walter declared, “I’m Rosa’s grandfather. I’ll go.” Upon hearing this, Rosa jumped up, ran to her room and locked herself in. Later that night, as Walter was about to go to bed and walked past Rosa’s room, he heard her sobbing. Then followed Roger’s voice, “Rosa, stop crying, Grandpa is just going through a tough time.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “No!” shouted Rosa. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The students went to the school hall to find their grandparents. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 明德中学2025年上学期期中考试 高一年级英语试卷 时量：120分钟 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，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色墨水的签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区城内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently. At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser. Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.” Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you?” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.” After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.” 4. What do we know about Owusu when he was 13? A. He met with Thatcher twice. B. He joined a famous golf club. C. He hosted a BBC’s programme. D. He lived at the bottom of society. 5. What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Turning point. B. Important decision. C. Social status. D. Remarkable achievement. 6. Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu? A. Others’ treating him equally at work. B. Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton. C. Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity. D. Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Dialogue B. The Power of Confidence C. A Life-changing Meeting D. A Status-improving Tale 【答案】4 D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Emest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.(在他们相遇的时候，Owusu在学校吃免费午餐，住在伦敦南部布里克斯顿的一处公共住宅里，他和妹妹由母亲罗斯抚养，她是一名苦苦挣扎的美发师)”可知，Owusu13岁时生活在社会的底层。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed(直到今天，它仍然有影响。我的信心改变了)”可知，从那一刻Owusu的信心改变了，说明那是一个转折点，sliding-door moment的意思是“转折点”，和Turning point意思相近，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.(因为人们经常对我说，如果你在工作中，你必须温柔、温暖、人性化，但你也必须有一点钢铁的感觉)”和“She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.(她对这个问题表示欢迎，说在这个世界上你必须要坚定。这让我印象深刻)”可知，Thatcher坚信强硬的必要性使Owusu发生了巨大的变化。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”(在俱乐部里，Owusu将自己社会地位的提升描述为“撒切尔之旅”。他说，首先要问这位女士本人。“直到今天，它仍然有影响，我的信心从那一刻起就改变了。她身上的某种东西与我联系在一起。”)”可知，本文主要讲的是Ernest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生，因此最恰当的标题是C选项“A Life-changing Meeting(改变人生的会面)”。故选C。 C In Hungary, every few months, a group of volunteers gather for the Plastic Cup, a competition where teams go up against each other to collect as much rubbish as possible. “The name comes from the American Cup, a famous boat race,” said the Plastic Cup’s project manager, Gergely Hankó, adding, “We have many volunteers, including companies and decision-makers. Everybody is forming the team.” The most recent Plastic Cup meeting was held on Hungary’s Lake Tisza and the Tisza River, the Danube’s longest tributary (支流). Besides huge amounts of plastic like bottles, volunteers often fish out metal cans, tyres, batteries and so on. Around 150 volunteers joined this cleanup, with one participant noting, “It’s always good fun and we’re making friends and having fun while doing good.” Nearly half of Earth’s surface waters are in river basins shared by at least two countries. These support around 40% of the world’s population. “Unluckily, there’s much pollution in every river globally. The Danube transfers 1,500 tons of plastic, the Tisza around 250 tons, and we can stop 100 tons per year,” Gergely said when stressing the broader impact of the Plastic Cup project. This year’s cleanup on the Tisza River also falls on Danube Day, a yearly event held across several European countries to mark the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention. “What we can do is to collect and remove plastic rubbish from the Tisza River and its tributaries, and we also have a monitoring system to keep the pollution under observation,” said Örs Antal from Hungary’s General Directorate of Water Management. “The situation has improved a lot, which is good news, but a step towards a permanent measure would be whether we could strengthen international cooperation.” Agreeing with the opinion, Gergely said more cooperation would be needed between countries that share surface waters. “We need everybody to clean up the Tisza basin and the Danube basin,” he said. “Every country has to develop its Extended Producer Responsibility system and its Deposit Return system. Then you have to deal with the producers, work on eco-design, reduce the packaging, and reduce the generated rubbish.” 8. How can the participants benefit from the competition? A. Have a larger social circle. B. Obtain more survival skills. C. Be better at making decisions. D. Learn a rich knowledge of teamwork. 9. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To draw more attention to the Tisza. B. To indicate the necessity for the project. C. To show the popularity of the competition. D. To stress the shortage of the water resource. 10. What does the Hungarian government probably do in order to protect the Danube river? A. Organize daily cleanup activities. B. Establish their own Danube Day. C. Force companies to pick up rubbish. D. Watch the pollution through a device. 11. What is necessary for a lasting solution to river pollution according to Gergely? A. Increasing the number of volunteers. B. Setting up more environmental events. C. Strengthening international partnerships. D. Reducing the cost of cleanup operations. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了匈牙利为了遏制不断上升的塑料潮而开展的清理匈牙利多瑙河河流的团队竞赛活动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s always good fun and we’re making friends and having fun while doing good.(这总是很有趣，我们在做好事的同时结交了朋友，玩得很开心)”可知，参与者的社交圈会更大。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Nearly half of Earth’s surface waters are in river basins shared by at least two countries. These support around 40% of the world’s population. “Unluckily, there’s much pollution in every river globally. The Danube transfers 1,500 tons of plastic, the Tisza around 250 tons, and we can stop 100 tons per year,” Gergely said when stressing the broader impact of the Plastic Cup project.(地球近一半的地表水位于至少两个国家共有的河流流域。这些国家供养着世界上大约40%的人口。“不幸的是，全球每条河流都有很多污染。多瑙河运输1500吨塑料，蒂萨河大约250吨，我们每年可以停止100吨，”Gergely在强调塑料杯项目的更广泛影响时说)”可推断，作者在第三段提到这些数字旨在说明The Plastic Cup项目的必要性。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““What we can do is to collect and remove plastic rubbish from the Tisza River and its tributaries, and we also have a monitoring system to keep the pollution under observation,” said Örs Antal from Hungary’s General Directorate of Water Management.(匈牙利水资源管理总局的Örs Antal说：“我们所能做的就是收集和清除Tisza河及其支流的塑料垃圾，我们也有一个监测系统来监测污染情况。”)”可知，匈牙利政府设立监控系统来关注污染情况。故选D。 11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The situation has improved a lot, which is good news, but a step towards a permanent measure would be whether we could strengthen international cooperation.(情况已经改善了很多，这是好消息，但迈向永久性措施的一步将是我们是否能加强国际合作)”及最后一段“Agreeing with the opinion, Gergely said more cooperation would be needed between countries that share surface waters. “We need everybody to clean up the Tisza basin and the Danube basin,” he said.( Gergely同意这一观点，他说共享地表水的国家之间需要更多的合作。他说：“我们需要每个人都来清理提萨盆地和多瑙河盆地。”)”可知，Gergely认为加强国际合作关系是一个持久解决水污染的办法。故选C。 D In the UK, there are about 12 million people suffering with hearing loss, and approximately 6.7 million could benefit from hearing aids. However, only about 2 million people use them. People with hearing loss may feel hearing aids are meant only for older people. They can feel a sense of embarrassment, ageing and lack of confidence when wearing them. Besides, some people have no confidence in hearing aids and believe they will not help, or will even make their hearing worse. Individuals sometimes believe they will be dependent on their hearing aids, thus choosing not to use them out of desire for independence. Therefore, people with hearing loss may turn to coping mechanisms such as excessively(过度地)turning the volume up on their TVs. In the UK, patients with hearing loss can obtain hearing aids free of charge through National Health Service(NHS). However, the choice of style, manufacturer and level of technology may be limited and can also involve lengthy waiting lists. There are a greater number of hearing aid options available in the private sector but these can sometimes be expensive, which can be a prohibitive factor for individuals. There are some negative perspectives about hearing aids, such as the appearance. Many people have the idea that hearing aids are huge and noticeable. However, there are many different types of hearing aids such as invisible ones in ear canals. The hearing aid selection is discussed with each individual at their hearing assessment, and the correct hearing aids are selected according to their level of hearing loss. There have been other advancements in technology such as rechargeable hearing aids. There is now wireless connectivity in many hearing aids, which enables hearing aids to be connected to mobile devices, tablets and televisions, allowing direct audio streaming into hearing aids. Undoubtedly, wearing hearing aids is very beneficial for well-being, allowing individuals to interact with others and hear better. All of the advancements in technology in the future mean the functionality and comfort of hearing aids will greatly increase, considerably improving the quality of life for more people with hearing loss. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What people with hearing loss should do. B. How older people respond to hearing aids. C. Why some people avoid using hearing aids. D. Whether hearing aids will affect independence. 13. Which of the following may prevent people getting hearing aids from NHS? A. The cost can be higher. B. Patients may have to wait for long. C. Many people have no access to the related policy. D. Some private sectors get hearing aids in advance. 14. What is mainly considered during the hearing aid selection process? A. The cost of the hearing aids. B. The individual’s personal preference. C. The individual’s specific hearing loss. D. The appearance of the hearing aids. 15. What can we expect of the hearing aids in the future? A. They will be connected to more devices. B. They will be made smaller and more fashionable. C. They will enable users to interact more with others. D. They will provide high-quality and better service for users. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国听力损失者使用助听器的情况及助听器的发展。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“People with hearing loss may feel hearing aids are meant only for older people. They can feel a sense of embarrassment, ageing and lack of confidence when wearing them. Besides, some people have no confidence in hearing aids and believe they will not help, or will even make their hearing worse. Individuals sometimes believe they will be dependent on their hearing aids, thus choosing not to use them out of desire for independence. (有听力损失的人可能觉得助听器只适合老年人使用。他们在佩戴助听器时可能会感到尴尬、觉得自己变老了，并且缺乏自信。此外，有些人对助听器没有信心，认为它们不会起到帮助作用，甚至会使听力变得更差。有些人则认为他们会依赖助听器，因此出于对独立的渴望而选择不使用它们。)”可知，本段主要讲述了为什么有些人避免使用助听器。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“In the UK, patients with hearing loss can obtain hearing aids free of charge through National Health Service(NHS). However, the choice of style, manufacturer and level of technology may be limited and can also involve lengthy waiting lists. (在英国，有听力损失的患者可以通过国民保健服务（NHS）免费获得助听器。然而，助听器的款式、制造商和技术水平的选择可能有限，而且可能需要等待很长时间。)”可知，通过国民保健服务(NHS)获得助听器可能需要等待很长时间。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The hearing aid selection is discussed with each individual at their hearing assessment, and the correct hearing aids are selected according to their level of hearing loss. (在听力评估时，会与每个人讨论助听器的选择，并根据他们的听力损失程度选择合适的助听器。)”可知，在选择助听器的过程中，主要考虑的是个人的具体听力损失。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“All of the advancements in technology in the future mean the functionality and comfort of hearing aids will greatly increase, considerably improving the quality of life for more people with hearing loss. (未来技术的所有进步都意味着助听器的功能和舒适度将大大提高，从而显著改善更多听力损失者的生活质量。)”可知，未来助听器将会为用户提供高质量和更好的服务。故选D。 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A recent survey found a quarter of people aged 18 to 34 never answer the phone and nearly 70% prefer a text to a phone call. For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past. ____16____ Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing.____17____ As our lives and working schedules get busier, people have less time to call friends simply to catch up. Phone calls, then, are kept only for important news in their lives. This tendency is also seen in the workplace. Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.____18____ ____19____ “I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says. ____20____ Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient. Perhaps now it’s time to accept the power of text and just as we gave up using the fax machine in the 1990s, we can leave the undesirable phone calls behind now. A. Others argue that phone calls are still irreplaceable. B. Over half believe unexpected calls signal bad news. C. For example, he often delays answering calls for hours. D. This pressure to multitask affects productivity negatively. E. Thus, texters emerged around 2000, using calls only for emergencies. F. Just as fax machines were abandoned unwanted phone calls can now be phased out. G. However, Ciara Brodie, a 25-year-old female supermarket manager, is against the flow. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了年轻一代对电话沟通的态度变化及其原因，并对比了不同代际的沟通偏好。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past.(对老一辈来说，打电话是常态，但过去手机通话费用高昂)”可知，过去打手机电话很贵，空处承接上文，说明因为费用问题，人们开始选择其他交流方式。故E选项“因此，短信用户在2000年左右兴起，仅将通话用于紧急情况”切题，“Thus”表明因果关系，因为打电话贵，所以出现了更多发短信的人。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing (由于没有打电话的习惯，现在的年轻人在打电话时感到尴尬，有些人甚至担心手机铃声会响起)”可知，年轻人不习惯打电话，甚至害怕接电话。空处承接上文，进一步说明这种负面情绪的具体表现。故B选项“超半数人认为意外来电意味着坏消息”进一步解释了年轻人害怕接电话的原因，即认为意外电话是坏消息，符合上下文逻辑。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.(31岁的内容创作者亨利・纳尔逊表示，正是与实时对话相关的紧张感、可能出现的尴尬局面，以及需要立即做出回应的压力，让他讨厌打电话)”可知，亨利·纳尔逊讨厌打电话的原因，空处承接上文，进一步举例说明他如何避免打电话。故C选项“例如，他常拖延数小时才接电话”通过举例说明他讨厌打电话的具体表现，即推迟接电话，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据下文““I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says.(“我喜欢工作中的上级给我打电话。这比发短信更能体现心意，因为打电话需要付出一定的精力，所以我真切地知道我的老板是重视我的意见的，”她说)”可知，有人持与上文相反的观点，认为打电话有其优点。空处与上文为转折关系且引起下文。故G选项“然而，25岁的女性超市经理西亚拉·布罗迪却不这么认为”说明她与前面提到的讨厌打电话的情况相反，符合上下文逻辑。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient. Perhaps now it’s time to accept the power of text and just as we gave up using the fax machine in the 1990s, we can leave the undesirable phone calls behind now.(有些人可能会说，这种新的交流趋势进一步证明了年轻人过于敏感，但实际上远非如此。25年前，人们反对从传真转向电子邮件，但这种改变使交流变得更加高效。也许现在是时候接受文本的力量了，就像我们在20世纪90年代放弃使用传真机一样，我们现在可以把令人讨厌的电话抛在脑后了)”可知，作者认为现在应该接受文本交流，放弃令人讨厌的电话。空处需引出这个观点。故F选项“传真机被淘汰，不受欢迎的电话亦可逐步淘汰”与下文的类比相呼应，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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， At an altitude of 4700 meters in Himalayas, a pursuit of highly valued caterpillar fungus (虫草) is filled with danger, yet the potential ____21____ make it a crucial effort for the local community.

Yet##But 42. irreplaceable 43. has disappeared 44. continuing 45. are left 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是亚马逊雨林及其生态重要性、面临的威胁以及由此引发的思考。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：亚马逊河是热带雨林的名字，它的长度接近6400公里，比长江长大约100公里。空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词The Amazon River是亚马逊河，因此空格处用which。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：亚马逊河是热带雨林的名字，它的长度接近6400公里，比长江长大约100公里。空格处用名词作宾语，long的名词是length，是不可数名词，意为“长度”。故填length。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在我们已知的39万种植物中，有4万多种可以在亚马逊找到。句中谓语是can be found，空格处用非谓语动词，species和know之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语。故填known。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：森林的不同层次孕育着种类繁多的野生动物。variety是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，unbelievable是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an。故填an。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：森林的每一层都形成了自己的小世界，是各种生物的家园。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词things，此处表示“生物”，是living things。故填living。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：但是，这些不可替代的动植物面临着一个主要的危险：我们。由“there is one major danger”可知，句子表示“但是，这些不可替代的动植物面临着一个主要的危险：我们”，空格处意为“但是”，用yet/but表转折，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Yet/But。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，这些不可替代的动植物面临着一个主要的危险：我们。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词plants，根据语境可知，句子表示“这些不可替代的动植物面临着一个主要的危险”，空格处意为“不可替代的”，形容词是irreplaceable。故填irreplaceable。 【43题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的50年里，由于农业和畜牧业等人类活动，大约17%的雨林消失了。由“Over the past 50 years”可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语about 17 percent of the rainforest是不可数名词，因此空格处是has disappeared。故填has disappeared。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着人类活动的影响不断增加，面临灭绝危险的物种越来越多，我们面临一个问题：我们能承受得起破坏“地球之肺”吗？此处是with复合结构，rainforest和continue之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作宾语补足语。故填continuing。 【45题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：随着人类活动的影响不断增加，面临灭绝危险的物种越来越多，我们面临一个问题：我们能承受得起破坏“地球之肺”吗？we和leave之间是逻辑动宾关系，句子描述现在的事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语we是复数，因此空格处是are left。故填are left。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是某国际学校学生会主席李华，世界环境日（World Environment Day）即将到来，请你代表学生会以“爱护环境”为主题，写一封倡议信。要点如下： 1. 环境现状； 2. 保护环境的具体措施； 3. 号召全校同学积极参与。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文流畅。 Dear students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】Dear students, As World Environment Day approaches, I’m writing to call for your attention to our planet’s growing environmental crisis.

He paid no attention to anything. His house fell into disrepair, with dust gathering everywhere and dirty dishes piling up in the sink. He gave up cooking and survived on TV dinners and toast. His clothes went unwashed, and he neglected his personal care, with a shaggy beard and messy hair. His daughter, Melanie, was extremely worried. She drove to his house and pleaded, “Dad! This isn’t right. You can’t stay here. Come live with us.” But Walter shot back angrily, “I don’t want to live in your house. I’m fine. Just leave me alone!” Melanie left, her heart heavy with concern. A few weeks later, Walter walked to the supermarket to buy his usual TV dinners and bread. As he crossed the road, his mind elsewhere, he didn’t look either way. A car hit him, and an ambulance rushed him to the hospital. At the hospital, Melanie exclaimed, “Dad! You’re not living alone anymore. You’re coming to our house.” Walter, weak and defeated, finally agreed. At Melanie’s house, her husband Roger wasn’t pleased. “Your father is dirty and always in a bad mood. Why is he living with us?” he complained. Melanie firmly replied, “He’s my father. He’s old and heartbroken. He needs to stay.” Roger sighed and said, “I understand.” Rosa, Melanie and Roger’s daughter, was nine years old. One evening during dinner Melanie announced, “Tomorrow, Rosa’s school has Grandparent’s Day.” Walter, curious, asked, “What’s Grandparent’s Day?” Melanie explained, “The children’s grandparents visit the school, watch the kids’ activities, and play games with them. It’s really fun.” Walter declared, “I’m Rosa’s grandfather. I’ll go.” Upon hearing this, Rosa jumped up, ran to her room and locked herself in. Later that night, as Walter was about to go to bed and walked past Rosa’s room, he heard her sobbing. Then followed Roger’s voice, “Rosa, stop crying, Grandpa is just going through a tough time.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “No!” shouted Rosa. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The students went to the school hall to find their grandparents ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “No!” shouted Rosa. Rosa’s small hands trembled as she slammed her chair back. Her eyes, wide and glassy, were fixed on the floor like a cornered animal. “Grandpa’s dirty,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “He ... he smells. His clothes ... all wrinkled and stained.” Tears slid down her cheek, disappearing into the collar of her dress. Roger’s face fell. “Rosa ...began, but the words faded into a sigh. Outside the room, Walter froze. Then, his slippers shuffled away, leaving a trail of hollow footsteps. Then came the next day. The students went to the school hall to find their grandparents. Rosa stood by the hall door, her hands sweaty. Kids around her laughed, dragging grandparents to fun activities. Her heart raced. What if Grandpa didn’t come? She’d be alone. But what if he showed up looking messy? She twisted the edge of her shirt sleeve nervously. Suddenly, shiny shoes appeared. A tall man in a neat blue suit smiled! Grandpa Walter! He knelt, smelling clean, not old. “You are right, dear,” he said, “You deserve a grandpa who tries harder. You are my reason to be a better self.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Walter Bergen在妻子去世后生活变得一团糟。他的女儿Melanie非常担心，多次劝他搬来和自己住，但Walter起初坚决拒绝。然而，Walter在去超市买即食餐和面包时遭遇车祸，终于同意搬到女儿家。在Melanie家，女婿Roger起初对Walter的到来并不高兴，但Melanie坚持认为父亲需要照顾。后来，在孙女Rosa学校的Grandparent’s Day活动中，Walter表示愿意参加，并为了让孙女开心，积极改变了自己邋遢的形象。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““不！”Rosa喊道。”可知，第一段可描写Rosa对于爷爷Walter参加学校祖父母日活动的强烈反对和抗拒情绪，以及她因爷爷的邋遢形象而感到尴尬和伤心的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“学生们去学校大厅找他们的爷爷奶奶。”可知，第二段可描写Walter为了Rosa改变形象。 2.续写线索：抗拒——Rosa流泪——Walter僵住——Rosa紧张地等待爷爷——干净整洁的爷爷出现 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小声说：whisper/murmur ②僵住：freeze/petrify ③出现：appear/emerge 情绪类 ①流泪：tears slide down one’s cheek/sb. shed tears ②紧张：nervously/tensely 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then, his slippers shuffled away, leaving a trail of hollow footsteps.
