B “I don’t know what to write to you, so I will tell you a story about four little rabbits named Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter,” wrote Beatrix Potter in 1893, in a letter to a little boy who was suffering from fever. A decade later, with small changes, these lines formed the opening to one of the most popular books in children’s literature — The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Like many children-story authors, Potter (1866-1943) was not a professional writer. Her main interest was nature. During her childhood family holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District, she got to experience nature up close. At the London Natural History Museum, she carefully studied plants and animals. It was her background that gave Peter Rabbit and Potter’s later animal stories their unique sense of believable wonder. Thanks to Potter’s drawings, the humanized rabbits seemed to exist in a familiar place. As Potter once admitted, her studies of plants helped make her fantasy drawings real. Although later stories contained even more detailed drawings, Peter Rabbit has charming pictures of its impudent hero. In these pictures, Peter in the vegetable garden ate radishes (萝卜) or jumped off walls and knocked over pots of flowers. The picture of Peter planning to escape from the garden while watching Mr. McGregor, his enemy, digging up onions gives us a feeling of tension and adventure that appeals to the child in all of us. Potter’s love of all animals is reflected in the many other creatures she drew, including robins, sparrows and starlings, a mouse, goldfish and a beautiful white cat. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902. Potter wanted the book to be small enough to fit into a child’s hands and inexpensive (with black-and-white drawings), but Warne had a different opinion. Only after Potter had the book published privately did Warne change his mind. Today, the original stories can be found published by Warne, and two million Potter books are sold worldwide each year. 4. What contributes to the realness of Potter’s drawings? A. Her friendship with a sick child. B. Her professional training as a writer. C. Her effort to become a famous artist. D. Her contact with nature in childhood. 5. What does the underlined word “impudent” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A. Brave. B. Rude. C. Clever. D. Shy. 6. What was Warne’s first attitude toward Potter’s idea of book publishing? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Uninterested. 7 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Nature and Imagination: The Story Behind Peter Rabbit. B. Inspiration for Art: The History of The Tale of Peter Rabbit. C. Letters and Literature: The Origin of Children’s Literature. D. Beatrix Potter: A Talented and Successful Businesswoman. C A year ago, I attended a special event in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It was to raise money for a wedding. Many of the guests were young businesspeople who carried lots of cash, eager to help the couple. Suddenly, the host asked through the microphone, “Shall we begin this harambee?” Harambee is a Kenyan tradition. The word means “all pull together” in Swahili, Kenya’s national language. It is the nation’s official motto (格言), and it appears on the country’s coat of the emblem (国徽). For Kenyans, harambee means a simple rule: whether you are rich or poor, everyone lends a hand to those in need. A harambee can be anything from giving money to emotional support to a small act of kindness. Whenever someone needs help with a wedding or a funeral (葬礼), they will contact an elder family member or tribal (部落的) leader. This leader will then call a meeting with other elders. If the problem is big, they will organize a harambee. People contribute money, services or emotional and physical support, and expect nothing in return. A historian from the University of Nairobi said that, long ago, Swahili workers shouted “Harambee!” to lift heavy things together. According to Kenyan folk tales, in the 1890s, some 30,000 Indian workers came to Kenya to help build the Kenya-Uganda railway under the orders of the British. As they worked beside Kenyans, the Indians called on “Hare,” the divine power (神力) of God, and “Ambe,” the goddess of energy. The Kenyan workers often joined. Slowly, the words “Hare” and “Ambe” mixed into “Harmbee”. The word became popular in 1963, when Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta, encouraged people to accept the motto. The nation had just become independent from Britain. Kenyans were eager to pull the country together and build a new nation. Today, the spirit of harambee lives on in the hearts and minds of all Kenyans. 8. Why is the coat of Kenya’s emblem mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To prove Kenyans’ love for their country. B. To praise Kenya’s independence from Britain. C. To stress the role of harambee in national identity. D. To show kindness to people from different backgrounds. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. What the tribe leader has done to help people. B. When the tradition of harambee started in history. C. How harambee works through community actions. D. What big problems harambee faces in modern days. 10. What can we learn about harambee from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Indian workers inspired its creation. B. Indian workers built a railway with it. C. It was first used by Swahili workers for fun. D. It was a Kenyan custom before independence. 11. What best reflects the author’s attitude toward harambee? A. It benefits only newly-married couples. B. It is outdated in modern Kenyan society. C. It promotes unity through joint action. D. It relies heavily on foreign cultural influences. D A storm surge (风暴潮) is a raised sea brought by tropical cyclones (热带气旋), also known as typhoons or hurricanes. These powerful storms produce strong winds that push the water into shore (岸), often causing flooding. A storm surge is mainly caused by the relationship between the winds and the ocean’s surface. The water rises where the winds are strongest. In addition, water is pushed in the direction the winds are blowing. The rotation (自转) of the Earth causes winds to move toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere (半球) and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. If a cyclone develops in the Northern Hemisphere, the surge will be the largest in the right-forward part of the storm. In the Southern Hemisphere, the surge will be the largest in the left-forward part. Atmospheric pressure (气压) also plays a key role. In a cyclone the central pressure is lower than at its edges (边缘). This pushes down the water in the outer parts of the storm, causing the water to rise in the center. More factors contribute to the strength of a storm surge as it comes to the coast. The water can reach as high as 10 meters if the storm surge happens at the same time as high tide. The coast’s slope (坡度) matters too: shallow coasts flood more easily. The storm surges are a serious danger for coastal areas. They typically form in late summer when ocean temperatures are highest, providing the energy needed for cyclone development. Historically, storm surges have caused terrible losses. For example, the 1900 Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. claimed over 6,000 lives, while the 1970 Bhola Cyclone in Bangladesh resulted in about 500,000 deaths. Today, improvements in forecasting (预报) and warning help reduce damage done by a storm surge. Information about surges like speeds, heights and paths are provided, allowing communities to prepare and leave. Coastal communities can protect themselves against storm surges by protecting local wetlands, which can take in the water and the energy of storm surges. But unfortunately they have made way for the city development. 12. What is a main cause of storm surges? A. Heavy rainfall during cyclones. B. Earth’s rotation redirecting the winds. C. Sudden rises of central pressure. D. Strong winds pushing seawater ashore. 13. Where is a storm surge the largest in the Northern Hemisphere? A. Center of the cyclone. B. Coastal areas with wetlands. C. Right-forward part of the storm. D. Left-forward part of the cyclone. 14. Why does the text mention Hurricane Katrina and Bhola Cyclone? A. To show the increased cyclone frequency. B. To stress the damaging effects of storm surges. C. To explain the economic benefits of wetlands. D. To compare storm surges in two hemispheres. 15. What will the passage probably talk about next? A. Strategies to fix coastal wetlands. B. Methods to forecast cyclone paths. C Case studies of recent storm surges. D. Climate change’s impact on cyclones. 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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Reading comprehension (理解) is more than just recognizing sounds, letters, and words. ___16___ Unfortunately, U.S. schools stress decoding (解码) words over helping children build knowledge. While American children under 10 are good at basic skills like summarizing the main topic of a text, they often struggle with deeper understanding. ___17___ When we read fiction or poetry, it requires knowing characters’ hidden feelings and connecting the text to the time in which the writer lived. It also requires exploring common themes between texts. When we read in the sciences, deep reading comprehension requires linking background knowledge with new information. The more children know about a specific topic — like the solar system (太阳系) or natural selection — the easier it is for them to understand new information. Children improve their reading skills as they grow. By the time they reach 12th grade, they can not only understand what they are reading but also judge them. ___18___ With the right instruction, students learn that skillful reading goes beyond the lines. They should use what they know to communicate critically (批判性地) with writers and their work. ___19___ Data gathered in homes, at schools and in labs show that one-to three-year-olds who have conversations with older people learn to read more easily than children who do not. When adults talk seriously about events and objects, children are given a big educational advantage: ___20___ A. So, what is deep reading comprehension? B. High-schoolers will read history or news reports. C. Attitude has something to do with being skillful readers. D. This process of teaching kids to read better must start early. E. Their growing bodies of knowledge improves their reading skills. F. Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people. G. It requires readers to connect the text with what they already know. 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。 On Mondays, my two kids get ready for school in an unusual way.

Would they stay ___23___ for so many hours? Would the teachers let them act freely? My concerns quickly ___24___ as I watched how joyful they were when I picked them up. I was relieved to learn that their teachers ___25___ only when something goes wrong. The kids direct their own ___26___, as long as it’s done in a ___27___ space where a teacher can see. There is no ___28___ mealtime. Sometimes my kids were so attracted by their games that they forgot to eat! None of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem that my kids ___29___ Mondays, but most significantly, my kids are learning different ___30___ that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to ___31___ nature up close. Once they fed sunflower seeds to tiny chickadees (北美山雀). They stayed still until the birds ___32___ on their outstretched hands. Their confidence is growing as they handle ___33___ tasks that traditional schools would never ___34___ —climbing trees, cooking pies over fires they build themselves, and even sharpening sticks with knives. They also make friends with kids of all ages. I’m ___35___ for such a special program! 21. A. park B. library C. museum D. mall 22. A. online B. outdoor C. formal D. classroom 23.

I was just 15 then and Jack 5. We loved going to the beach but normally always went with mom or dad. On our way back, we decided to walk along the beach instead of taking the taxi back home. We did not tell our aunt about all this, as she might refuse. So off we ran to the beach where we played happily on the sand, making little sand castles and collecting sea shells. We wrote our names on the sand only to be erased by the coming waves. We splashed (泼) water on each other’s faces, running and laughing. We had so much fun. Time passes so quickly when one is happy. Our games continued. The tide (潮水) was coming in but we were just unaware of anything. It was beginning to get dark and we decided to move on. At one point we were shocked to see that we could not go any further as the waters had covered the place ahead. With fear we turned back. But to our surprise, the waters behind us had also touched the shore. Now we were left on a small dry patch (片) of land surrounded by water on all sides. We could not move forward, nor go back. Our only hope was a tall wall with huge rocks nearby. Climbing over it, we could get onto the road and take a taxi home. Despite the fear, we didn’t give up, though. I decided to get Jack across the wall first. I picked him up and tried my best to get him across the wall, but we slipped (打滑) and fell from the rock into the water. He cried in pain and fear. I realized that on our own, we could never cross that big wall. Now only help from outside could save us. The ever rising water was making us frightened more and more. 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。 In despair we shouted for help, and miracle (奇迹) happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After saying thanks again and again to the two men, we returned home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年春学期高一期中质量调研 英语试卷 注意：本试卷分四个部分，答案全部做在答题纸上。总分为150分。考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，共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.

Only after Potter had the book published privately did Warne change his mind. Today, the original stories can be found published by Warne, and two million Potter books are sold worldwide each year. 4. What contributes to the realness of Potter’s drawings? A. Her friendship with a sick child. B. Her professional training as a writer. C. Her effort to become a famous artist. D. Her contact with nature in childhood. 5.

B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Uninterested. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Nature and Imagination: The Story Behind Peter Rabbit. B. Inspiration for Art: The History of The Tale of Peter Rabbit. C. Letters and Literature: The Origin of Children’s Literature. D. Beatrix Potter: A Talented and Successful Businesswoman. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了介绍了《彼得兔》的创作背景及波特的创作灵感来源。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Her main interest was nature. During her childhood family holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District, she got to experience nature up close. At the London Natural History Museum, she carefully studied plants and animals. It was her background that gave Peter Rabbit and Potter’s later animal stories their unique sense of believable wonder.(她的主要兴趣是大自然。童年时，她和家人在珀斯郡和湖区度假，她有机会近距离体验大自然。在伦敦自然历史博物馆，她仔细研究植物和动物。正是她的背景赋予了彼得兔和波特后来的动物故事独特的、可信的奇迹感。)”可知，童年与自然的接触是画作真实性的关键。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文描述Peter Rabbit的行为“In these pictures, Peter in the vegetable garden ate radishes (萝卜) or jumped off walls and knocked over pots of flowers. The picture of Peter planning to escape from the garden while watching Mr. McGregor, his enemy, digging up onions gives us a feeling of tension and adventure that appeals to the child in all of us.(在这些图片中，彼得在菜园里吃萝卜，或者从墙上跳下来，撞翻了花盆。彼得一边看着他的敌人麦格雷戈先生挖洋葱，一边计划逃离花园，这幅画给我们一种紧张和冒险的感觉，这吸引了我们所有人的童心。)”可知，彼得兔的这些举动带有顽皮、无礼的色彩。所以，impudent的意义为“鲁莽的；放肆无礼的”，与rude意义一致。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“Potter wanted the book to be small enough to fit into a child’s hands and inexpensive (with black-and-white drawings), but Warne had a different opinion. Only after Potter had the book published privately did Warne change his mind.(波特希望这本书足够小，可以塞进孩子的手里，而且价格便宜（有黑白图画），但沃恩有不同的意见。直到波特私下出版了这本书，沃恩才改变了主意。)”可知，对于波特的图书出版想法，沃恩最初的态度是怀疑的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章主要讲述了波特如何从自然中获得灵感，并通过她的想象力创作出《彼得兔》的故事。因此，用A项“Nature and Imagination: The Story Behind Peter Rabbit(自然与想象：彼得兔背后的故事)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 C A year ago, I attended a special event in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It was to raise money for a wedding. Many of the guests were young businesspeople who carried lots of cash, eager to help the couple. Suddenly, the host asked through the microphone, “Shall we begin this harambee?” Harambee is a Kenyan tradition. The word means “all pull together” in Swahili, Kenya’s national language. It is the nation’s official motto (格言), and it appears on the country’s coat of the emblem (国徽). For Kenyans, harambee means a simple rule: whether you are rich or poor, everyone lends a hand to those in need. A harambee can be anything from giving money to emotional support to a small act of kindness. Whenever someone needs help with a wedding or a funeral (葬礼), they will contact an elder family member or tribal (部落的) leader. This leader will then call a meeting with other elders. If the problem is big, they will organize a harambee. People contribute money, services or emotional and physical support, and expect nothing in return. A historian from the University of Nairobi said that, long ago, Swahili workers shouted “Harambee!” to lift heavy things together. According to Kenyan folk tales, in the 1890s, some 30,000 Indian workers came to Kenya to help build the Kenya-Uganda railway under the orders of the British. As they worked beside Kenyans, the Indians called on “Hare,” the divine power (神力) of God, and “Ambe,” the goddess of energy. The Kenyan workers often joined. Slowly, the words “Hare” and “Ambe” mixed into “Harmbee”. The word became popular in 1963, when Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta, encouraged people to accept the motto. The nation had just become independent from Britain. Kenyans were eager to pull the country together and build a new nation. Today, the spirit of harambee lives on in the hearts and minds of all Kenyans. 8. Why is the coat of Kenya’s emblem mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To prove Kenyans’ love for their country. B. To praise Kenya’s independence from Britain. C. To stress the role of harambee in national identity. D. To show kindness to people from different backgrounds. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. What the tribe leader has done to help people. B. When the tradition of harambee started in history. C. How harambee works through community actions. D. What big problems harambee faces in modern days. 10. What can we learn about harambee from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Indian workers inspired its creation. B. Indian workers built a railway with it. C. It was first used by Swahili workers for fun. D. It was a Kenyan custom before independence. 11. What best reflects the author’s attitude toward harambee? A. It benefits only newly-married couples. B. It is outdated in modern Kenyan society. C. It promotes unity through joint action. D. It relies heavily on foreign cultural influences. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚的传统——Harambee以及背后的寓意和起源。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Harambee is a Kenyan tradition. The word means “all pull together” in Swahili, Kenya’s national language. It is the nation’s official motto (格言), and it appears on the country’s coat of the emblem (国徽). For Kenyans, harambee means a simple rule: whether you are rich or poor, everyone lends a hand to those in need.(Harambee是肯尼亚的传统。这个词在肯尼亚的国家语言斯瓦希里语中的意思是“齐心协力”。这是国家的官方格言，它出现在国家徽章的外层上。对肯尼亚人来说，harambee意味着一个简单的规则：无论你是富人还是穷人，每个人都向需要帮助的人伸出援助之手)”可知，第2段提到了肯尼亚国徽的外层是为了强调harambee在国家认同中的作用。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“A harambee can be anything from giving money to emotional support to a small act of kindness. Whenever someone needs help with a wedding or a funeral (葬礼), they will contact an elder family member or tribal (部落的) leader. This leader will then call a meeting with other elders. If the problem is big, they will organize a harambee. People contribute money, services or emotional and physical support, and expect nothing in return.(harambee可以是任何东西，从给钱到情感上的支持，再到一个小小的善举。每当有人在婚礼或葬礼上需要帮助时，他们会联系年长的家庭成员或部落首领。然后，这位领袖将召集其他长老开会。如果问题很大，他们就会组织一次游行。人们提供金钱、服务或情感和物质上的支持，不期望任何回报)”可知，第三段的主旨是harambee如何通过社区行动发挥作用。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“According to Kenyan folk tales, in the 1890s, some 30,000 Indian workers came to Kenya to help build the Kenya-Uganda railway under the orders of the British. As they worked beside Kenyans, the Indians called on “Hare,” the divine power (神力) of God, and “Ambe,” the goddess of energy. The Kenyan workers often joined. Slowly, the words “Hare” and “Ambe” mixed into “Harmbee”.(根据肯尼亚民间传说，在19世纪90年代，约有3万名印度工人在英国人的命令下来到肯尼亚，帮助修建肯尼亚-乌干达铁路。当他们和肯尼亚人一起工作时，印第安人呼唤神的神力“Hare”和能量女神“Ambe”。肯尼亚工人经常加入。慢慢地，“Hare”和“Ambe”两个词混成了“Harmbee”)”可知，印度工人激发了Harmbee的创作灵感。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kenyans were eager to pull the country together and build a new nation. Today, the spirit of harambee lives on in the hearts and minds of all Kenyans.(肯尼亚人渴望把国家团结起来，建立一个新的国家。今天，harambee精神活在所有肯尼亚人的心中)”可知，通过共同行动促进团结最能反映作者对harambee的态度。故选C。 D A storm surge (风暴潮) is a raised sea brought by tropical cyclones (热带气旋), also known as typhoons or hurricanes. These powerful storms produce strong winds that push the water into shore (岸), often causing flooding. A storm surge is mainly caused by the relationship between the winds and the ocean’s surface. The water rises where the winds are strongest. In addition, water is pushed in the direction the winds are blowing. The rotation (自转) of the Earth causes winds to move toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere (半球) and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. If a cyclone develops in the Northern Hemisphere, the surge will be the largest in the right-forward part of the storm. In the Southern Hemisphere, the surge will be the largest in the left-forward part. Atmospheric pressure (气压) also plays a key role. In a cyclone the central pressure is lower than at its edges (边缘). This pushes down the water in the outer parts of the storm, causing the water to rise in the center. More factors contribute to the strength of a storm surge as it comes to the coast. The water can reach as high as 10 meters if the storm surge happens at the same time as high tide. The coast’s slope (坡度) matters too: shallow coasts flood more easily. The storm surges are a serious danger for coastal areas. They typically form in late summer when ocean temperatures are highest, providing the energy needed for cyclone development. Historically, storm surges have caused terrible losses. For example, the 1900 Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. claimed over 6,000 lives, while the 1970 Bhola Cyclone in Bangladesh resulted in about 500,000 deaths. Today, improvements in forecasting (预报) and warning help reduce damage done by a storm surge. Information about surges like speeds, heights and paths are provided, allowing communities to prepare and leave. Coastal communities can protect themselves against storm surges by protecting local wetlands, which can take in the water and the energy of storm surges. But unfortunately they have made way for the city development. 12. What is a main cause of storm surges? A. Heavy rainfall during cyclones. B. Earth’s rotation redirecting the winds. C. Sudden rises of central pressure. D. Strong winds pushing seawater ashore. 13. Where is a storm surge the largest in the Northern Hemisphere? A. Center of the cyclone. B. Coastal areas with wetlands. C. Right-forward part of the storm. D. Left-forward part of the cyclone. 14. Why does the text mention Hurricane Katrina and Bhola Cyclone? A. To show the increased cyclone frequency. B. To stress the damaging effects of storm surges. C. To explain the economic benefits of wetlands. D. To compare storm surges in two hemispheres. 15. What will the passage probably talk about next? A. Strategies to fix coastal wetlands. B. Methods to forecast cyclone paths. C. Case studies of recent storm surges. D. Climate change’s impact on cyclones. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了风暴潮的定义、形成原因、影响强度的因素、危害以及应对措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A storm surge (风暴潮) is a raised sea brought by tropical cyclones (热带气旋), also known as typhoons or hurricanes. These powerful storms produce strong winds that push the water into shore (岸), often causing flooding. (风暴潮是由热带气旋带来的海水升高现象，热带气旋也被称为台风或飓风。这些强大的风暴产生强风，将海水推向岸边，常常引发洪水)”可知，风暴潮的一个主要原因是强风将海水推向岸边。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “If a cyclone develops in the Northern Hemisphere, the surge will be the largest in the right-forward part of the storm. (如果气旋在北半球形成，风暴潮在风暴的右前方部分将是最大的)”可知，如果气旋在北半球形成，风暴潮在风暴的右前方部分将是最大的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Historically, storm surges have caused terrible losses. For example, the 1900 Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. claimed over 6,000 lives, while the 1970 Bhola Cyclone in Bangladesh resulted in about 500,000 deaths. (从历史上看，风暴潮已经造成了可怕的损失。例如，1900 年美国的卡特里娜飓风夺走了 6000 多人的生命，而 1970 年孟加拉国的博拉气旋导致了大约 50 万人死亡)”可知，历史上风暴潮造成了可怕的损失，接着举例美国的卡特里娜飓风和孟加拉国的博拉气旋造成的大量人员死亡，所以提到这两个例子是为了强调风暴潮的破坏作用。故选 B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Coastal communities can protect themselves against storm surges by protecting local wetlands, which can take in the water and the energy of storm surges. But unfortunately they have made way for the city development. (沿海社区可以通过保护当地湿地来抵御风暴潮，当地湿地可以吸收风暴潮的水和能量。但不幸的是，它们已经为城市发展让路了)”可知，沿海社区可以通过保护当地湿地来抵御风暴潮，但不幸的是湿地为城市发展让路了。由此可推测接下来可能会讨论修复沿海湿地的策略。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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Reading comprehension (理解) is more than just recognizing sounds, letters, and words. ___16___ Unfortunately, U.S. schools stress decoding (解码) words over helping children build knowledge. While American children under 10 are good at basic skills like summarizing the main topic of a text, they often struggle with deeper understanding. ___17___ When we read fiction or poetry, it requires knowing characters’ hidden feelings and connecting the text to the time in which the writer lived. It also requires exploring common themes between texts. When we read in the sciences, deep reading comprehension requires linking background knowledge with new information. The more children know about a specific topic — like the solar system (太阳系) or natural selection — the easier it is for them to understand new information. Children improve their reading skills as they grow. By the time they reach 12th grade, they can not only understand what they are reading but also judge them. ___18___ With the right instruction, students learn that skillful reading goes beyond the lines. They should use what they know to communicate critically (批判性地) with writers and their work. ___19___ Data gathered in homes, at schools and in labs show that one-to three-year-olds who have conversations with older people learn to read more easily than children who do not. When adults talk seriously about events and objects, children are given a big educational advantage: ___20___ A. So, what is deep reading comprehension? B. High-schoolers will read history or news reports. C. Attitude has something to do with being skillful readers. D. This process of teaching kids to read better must start early. E.

While##Although##Though 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《白蛇传》从最初作为一个警示故事，历经宋、明、清以及 19 世纪末到 20 世纪等不同时期的演变，其故事内容和主题意义不断变化，从最初的道德警示逐渐转变为对爱情的歌颂，并且在当今依然很受欢迎。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：《白蛇传》，一开始是一个警示故事，后来发展成了一个永恒的浪漫故事，成为了中国文化的一部分。“romance”在这里是可数名词单数，表泛指“一个浪漫故事”，“timeless”发音以辅音音素开头，根据不定冠词“a”用于辅音音素开头的单词前表示“一个”的用法，此处应用“a”。故填a。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它最早的书面版本来自宋朝，讲述的是李黄书生，他遇到了一个穿白衣的美丽女子。“Scholar Li Huang”是先行词，指人，后面的 “____ meets a beautiful woman in white” 是非限制性定语从句，该从句缺少主语，在定语从句中，当先行词指人且在从句中作主语时，关系代词用 “who”。故填who。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这个故事是一个道德教训，告诫年轻男子要抵制陌生女子的诱惑。“warn”与主语 “The tale”之间是主动关系，现在分词作伴随状语。故填warning。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：在明朝，冯梦龙在《白娘子永镇雷峰塔》中给这个传说赋予了一个带有些许黑色幽默的转折。“twist”是名词，前面需要用形容词来修饰，“humor” 的形容词形式是 “humorous”，表示 “幽默的”。故填humorous。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：后来当许仙摆脱了他的麻烦后，她威胁他，结果却被法海和尚困在了雷峰塔。“only to do”是固定结构，表示意料之外的结果，“she”和“trap”之间是被动关系，即 “她被困”，所以要用动词不定式的被动式 “to be trapped”。故填 to be trapped。 【41题详解】 考查时态。句意：清朝时期，白蛇的形象更令人同情。根据时间状语 “The Qing Dynasty” 可知，这里描述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时，“see” 的过去式是“saw”。故填saw。 42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同时，他也把法海描绘成一个被赋予了结束一段不自然关系任务的菩萨的仆人。“a servant of Buddha” 与 “task”之间是被动关系，即“仆人被赋予任务”，过去分词作后置定语表示被动和完成，所以用 “tasked”。故填tasked。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：许轩，现在改名为许仙，变成了一个更善良的角色，而法海变成了那个应用不公平 “天规” 的坏人，把焦点从道德警示转移到了歌颂爱情上。“change focus from...to...” 是固定短语，意为 “把焦点从…… 转移到……”，所以这里用介词 “from”。故填 from。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：如今，白娘子仍然很受欢迎，为现代观众带来了许多改编作品。“many” 是形容词，意为 “许多的”，后接可数名词复数，“adapt” 的名词形式 “adaptation” 表示 “改编作品”，是可数名词，所以要用复数形式 “adaptations”。故填 adaptations。 【45题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然这个故事的关键元素 —— 白蛇的魔力、许仙的忠诚和法海的雷峰塔 —— 保持不变，但其意义随着时间而改变，从唐朝的恐惧到现代对自由的期望。根据句意可知，引导让步状语从句可以用 “while/although/though”，表示 “虽然，尽管”。首字母大写。故填 While/Although/Though 。 第四部分 书面表达 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 46. 假设你是李华，你校英语广播站（English broadcast station）计划在每周五中午开设名为“Exploring Literature”的栏目，目前正在招募主持人。请给广播站负责人Ms. Lin写一封邮件，申请应聘这一岗位。内容包括： 1. 你的优势； 2. 专栏内容的策划。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Ms. Lin, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Ms. Lin, I’m Li Hua, eager to apply for the host position of “Exploring Literature” at our English broadcast station.

I was just 15 then and Jack 5. We loved going to the beach but normally always went with mom or dad. On our way back, we decided to walk along the beach instead of taking the taxi back home. We did not tell our aunt about all this, as she might refuse. So off we ran to the beach, where we played happily on the sand, making little sand castles and collecting sea shells. We wrote our names on the sand only to be erased by the coming waves. We splashed (泼) water on each other’s faces, running and laughing. We had so much fun. Time passes so quickly when one is happy. Our games continued. The tide (潮水) was coming in but we were just unaware of anything. It was beginning to get dark and we decided to move on. At one point we were shocked to see that we could not go any further as the waters had covered the place ahead. With fear we turned back. But to our surprise, the waters behind us had also touched the shore. Now we were left on a small dry patch (片) of land surrounded by water on all sides. We could not move forward, nor go back. Our only hope was a tall wall with huge rocks nearby. Climbing over it, we could get onto the road and take a taxi home. Despite the fear, we didn’t give up, though. I decided to get Jack across the wall first. I picked him up and tried my best to get him across the wall, but we slipped (打滑) and fell from the rock into the water. He cried in pain and fear. I realized that on our own, we could never cross that big wall. Now only help from outside could save us. The ever rising water was making us frightened more and more. 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。 In despair, we shouted for help, and miracle (奇迹) happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After saying thanks again and again to the two men, we returned home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In despair, we shouted for help, and miracle happened. Two kind men who were passing by heard our cries. They quickly came to our rescue, assessing the situation with calmness. One of them, a tall man with a reassuring voice, said, “Don’t worry, boys. We’ll get you out of here safely.” They found a long branch nearby and used it as a bridge to reach us. The other man, who had a strong build, carefully lifted Jack first and then helped me climb over the wall. Their determination and bravery gave us hope when we thought all was lost. After saying thanks again and again to the two men, we returned home. To our surprise, we found that our aunt was actually in our house, waiting anxiously. When she saw us safe, she hugged us tightly, tears of relief in her eyes. We told her what had happened and how those two strangers had saved us. She scolded us gently for not telling her our plan but also praised the men’s kindness. It was a lesson I would never forget — the power of kindness and the importance of staying calm in danger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者和5岁的弟弟杰克去看望住在海边的阿姨，回程时二人决定沿海滩走回家。但涨潮使二人被困在一小片干地上，无法前进或后退。二人试图翻越石墙，但失败了，只能等待救援。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“绝望中，我们大声呼救，奇迹发生了。”可知，第一段可以描写作者和弟弟被困后绝望呼救，两位路过的好心人听到呼救后迅速赶来救援。 ②由第二段句首内容“我们一次又一次地感谢那两个人，然后回家了。”可知，第二段可以描写二人回家后看到阿姨焦急等待的场景，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：被困呼救——好心人救援——成功脱险——回家——阿姨的反应——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①救援：come to one’s rescue/come to save someone ②评估情况：assess the situation/evaluate the condition ③举起：lift/raise 情绪类 ①焦虑地：anxiously/worriedly ②宽慰的泪水：tears of relief/tears of comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】Two kind men who were passing by heard our cries.
