Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it. Here are several pioneers. Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598~1680) As a master of materials, Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini is known for his astonishing ability to create movement and bring forth emotion with his work. In his masterpiece, Plu to and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it. Henry Moore (1898~1986) Known for his abstract public sculpture, British artist Henry Moore’s works most often focus on the theme of mother and child, who usually sit or lie in a relaxed way, with their bodies leaning backwards Moore’s figures are often composed of multiple pieces, yet his clean lines allow viewers to effectively see the figures within the abstract form. Such features are very obvious in his master piece Mother and Child. Louise Bourgeois (1911~2010) Most well-known for her public art, French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois rose to international fame in 1982 after the Museum of Modern Art held her first exhibit. By this time, she was already in her 70s. Drawing from her own life experience, her sculptures often explore themes of family and death. In her representative work, Maman, Bourgeois has used a spider to stand for her mother, who died when she was a child, to show her strength and protection over her family. 21. When did Louise Bourgeois pass away? A. In 1598. B. In 1911. C. In 1982. D. In 2010. 22. Which sculpture belongs to the realism style? A. Pluto and Perse. B. Mother and Child. C. Maman. D. The above three. 23. What do the three artists have in common? A. They lived in Europe all their lives. B. They rose to fame for public sculptures. C. They were known for artistic innovation. D. They explored the identical theme. B I used to be the most resolute resolution-maker. Even as a child, I was always goal-oriented and loved the feeling of accomplishing things, and every January 1st, I would dutifully sit down and write out my resolutions for the upcoming year. I always picked big goals, like: In the new year, I will lose 50pounds! And run a marathon! And have a picture-perfect home! Oh, and be the best parent ever who never yelled at my children! The problem? I never accomplished those resolutions. I’d start out strong, but by February or March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d slide quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things… I didn’t do. Two years ago, I started experiencing severe stomach pain. The doctors weren’t sure what was causing it, and they finally scheduled a surgery to figure it out. But before I could have the surgery, I found a lump, which was diagnosed as breast cancer. I started treatment for it only to discover that the stomach pain was from appendix cancer. That’s right: two different cancers with two different treatment plans at the same time in the same body. It was a lot to deal with-the next year was incredibly difficult. One good thing I can say about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective on my life-especially about what I consider “success” and “failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive and with my family felt like a huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions. I understand the appeal of having a fresh start, but I have learned from my illnesses that you can take the opportunity to start over at any time. In fact, you can start fresh every day if you want to! January 1st is just a day, and it’s not special. You can make the day you decide to be a better person a special day, regardless of what the calendar says. 24. Which can describe the past author best? A. A giant who dreamed big. B. A daydreamer without any action. C. A doer who did what she said. D. An ambitious person who achieved nothing. 25. What does the underlined word “lump” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A cure for cancer. B. A swelling under the skin. C. A physician in charge. D. A specialised hospital. 26. Why did the author stop making New Year’s resolutions? A. She gave up on becoming a better person. B. The resolutions were a waste of willpower. C. Cancer changed her opinion on life. D. The resolutions were too big to realize. 27. Which behavior is the author most likely to choose in the future? A. Try to live one day at a time. B. Seize the day and live it to the fullest. C Do with all her might whatever she does. D. Change herself for better whenever she means to. C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 29. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 30. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. D Do we really know our best friends? I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again. The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives. This seems strange, until you consider, that many-of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendahip may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends. Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions. 32. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph? A. To provide background information. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To show the difference between friends. 33. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. friendships B. strangers C. researchers D. benefits 34. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ . A. close friends usually know each other in depth B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them 35. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept? A. Stay friends but keep a distance. B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. D. True friends know all about you and still like you. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. ___36___ Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally. What we eat reveals our roots. Families pass down recipes like treasures, keeping traditions alive. The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. ___37___ These habits show how geography shapes diets.

Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad, proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot. ___39___ From family kitchens to international restaurants, food carries cultural stories. Its power to both unite people and protect traditions makes it special. Food and food habits serve as a cultural channel of display of affection and emotional association, meanwhile, sharing delicious and nutritious food undoubtedly signals a bridge of closeness or acceptance. ___40___ A.

She walked a few blocks to buy herself a gift. Suddenly, one store caught her attention. And as she entered the front door, a small bell announced her presence. “Happy New Year,” a man greeted. “Hi,” Maggie replied, “you too.” “Can I help you find something?” he inquired. “I don’t really know what I want as my gift,” Maggie sighed. “Ah, when you don’t know what you want, get what you need,” he offered. After a brief moment of silence, the man smiled and claimed, “I have the perfect gift for you.” The man went to a shelf that had one item left on it. “This is what you need,” he said as he handed Maggie a box. “A doll?” Maggie asked, looking through the clean plastic on the front of the box. “It’s what you need and what will make you happy,” he replied. “It is a beautiful baby doll,” Maggie observed. “It looks expensive and I don’t know if I have enough money. How much is it?” “98 cents,” the man replied. Maggie asked in a surprising tone, “This doll is worth much more. How can you stay in business when you charge so little?” “We will be just fine,” the man smiled back at her, “and you will get a gift that will make you happy.” The doll was quickly wrapped and returned to her. Maggie paid for the doll and left. She walked down the street in the direction of home. The sky was slowly darkening as the evening took over. After a few minutes, she approached a woman and a young girl sitting on a bench next to the sidewalk in front of a small park. Maggie decided to sit down on a nearby vacant bench and take in the atmosphere of New Year. She noticed the woman was trying to comfort the little girl who was upset and sniffling (抽噎) . “We still have each other,” the woman comforted. “I know,” the young girl replied, “but I don’t know why somebody would steal presents on this day.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Both mother and daughter were thankful. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024/2025 学年度第二学期 联盟校期中学情调研检测高二年级英语试题 (总分150分 考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1.本试卷中所有试题必须作答在答题纸上规定的位置 ，否则不给分． 2.答题前 ，务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用 0．5 毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在试卷及答题纸上． 3.作答非选择题时必须用黑色字迹 0.5 毫米签字笔书写在答题纸的指定位置上 ，作答选择题必 须用 2B 铅笔在答题纸上将对应题目的选项涂黑 。如需改动 ，请用橡皮擦干净后 ，再选涂其 它答案 ，请保持答题纸清洁 ，不折叠、不破损 。 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，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题， 从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后， 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When will the football program begin?

He never plays it anymore. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【详解】I have played music for most of my life—about twenty years. My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid. I started taking lessons at the age of ten. I loved to play. I would practice for three hours a day as a kid. As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me. 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，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Throughout history, there have been sculptors prized for their willingness to push boundaries. Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it. Here are several pioneers. Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598~1680) As a master of materials, Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini is known for his astonishing ability to create movement and bring forth emotion with his work. In his masterpiece, Plu to and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it. Henry Moore (1898~1986) Known for his abstract public sculpture, British artist Henry Moore’s works most often focus on the theme of mother and child, who usually sit or lie in a relaxed way, with their bodies leaning backwards Moore’s figures are often composed of multiple pieces, yet his clean lines allow viewers to effectively see the figures within the abstract form. Such features are very obvious in his master piece Mother and Child. Louise Bourgeois (1911~2010) Most well-known for her public art, French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois rose to international fame in 1982 after the Museum of Modern Art held her first exhibit. By this time, she was already in her 70s. Drawing from her own life experience, her sculptures often explore themes of family and death. In her representative work, Maman, Bourgeois has used a spider to stand for her mother, who died when she was a child, to show her strength and protection over her family. 21. When did Louise Bourgeois pass away? A. In 1598. B. In 1911. C. In 1982. D. In 2010. 22. Which sculpture belongs to the realism style? A. Pluto and Perse. B. Mother and Child. C. Maman. D. The above three. 23. What do the three artists have in common? A. They lived in Europe all their lives. B. They rose to fame for public sculptures. C. They were known for artistic innovation. D. They explored the identical theme. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三位在雕塑领域具有开创性贡献的艺术家：Gianlorenzo Bernini、Henry Moore和Louise Bourgeois，分别讲述了他们的艺术风格、代表作品及其对视觉艺术的影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Louise Bourgeois (1911~2010)”可知，Louise Bourgeois于2010年去世。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In his masterpiece, Pluto and Perse, the rough and cold stone has been turned into flesh that looks so real and soft that you just want to reach out and touch it.(在他的杰作Pluto and Perse中，粗糙而冰冷的石头被转化为看起来如此真实和柔软的肉体，让人忍不住想要伸手触摸)”可知，Gianlorenzo Bernini的作品Pluto and Perse属于现实主义风格。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Throughout history, there have been sculptors prized for their willingness to push boundaries. Without their contributions, it would be difficult to imagine visual art as we now know it.(纵观历史，一直有雕塑家因愿意突破界限而备受赞誉。如果没有他们的贡献，就很难想象我们现在所知道的视觉艺术)”可知，三位艺术家以艺术创新而闻名。故选C。 B I used to be the most resolute resolution-maker. Even as a child, I was always goal-oriented and loved the feeling of accomplishing things, and every January 1st, I would dutifully sit down and write out my resolutions for the upcoming year. I always picked big goals, like: In the new year, I will lose 50pounds! And run a marathon! And have a picture-perfect home! Oh, and be the best parent ever who never yelled at my children! The problem? I never accomplished those resolutions. I’d start out strong, but by February or March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d slide quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things… I didn’t do. Two years ago, I started experiencing severe stomach pain. The doctors weren’t sure what was causing it, and they finally scheduled a surgery to figure it out. But before I could have the surgery, I found a lump, which was diagnosed as breast cancer. I started treatment for it only to discover that the stomach pain was from appendix cancer. That’s right: two different cancers with two different treatment plans at the same time in the same body. It was a lot to deal with-the next year was incredibly difficult. One good thing I can say about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective on my life-especially about what I consider “success” and “failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive and with my family felt like a huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions. I understand the appeal of having a fresh start, but I have learned from my illnesses that you can take the opportunity to start over at any time. In fact, you can start fresh every day if you want to! January 1st is just a day, and it’s not special. You can make the day you decide to be a better person a special day, regardless of what the calendar says. 24. Which can describe the past author best? A. A giant who dreamed big. B. A daydreamer without any action. C. A doer who did what she said. D. An ambitious person who achieved nothing. 25. What does the underlined word “lump” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A cure for cancer. B. A swelling under the skin. C. A physician in charge. D. A specialised hospital. 26. Why did the author stop making New Year’s resolutions? A. She gave up on becoming a better person. B. The resolutions were a waste of willpower. C. Cancer changed her opinion on life. D. The resolutions were too big to realize. 27. Which behavior is the author most likely to choose in the future? A. Try to live one day at a time. B. Seize the day and live it to the fullest. C. Do with all her might whatever she does. D. Change herself for better whenever she means to. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从过去制定新年计划但未能实现，到经历癌症后对生活态度的转变，最终决定不再制定新年计划的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I always picked big goals, like: In the new year, I will lose 50pounds! And run a marathon! And have a picture-perfect home! Oh, and be the best parent ever who never yelled at my children!(我总是选择大目标，比如：在新的一年里，我要减掉50磅！还要跑马拉松！还要拥有一个完美的家！哦，还要成为从不吼孩子的完美父母！)以及第二段“I never accomplished those resolutions.(我从未实现这些目标)”可知，作者过去是一个有雄心壮志但未能实现目标的人。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“But before I could have the surgery, I found a lump, which was diagnosed as breast cancer.(但在手术前，我发现了一个lump，被诊断为乳腺癌)”可知，作者被诊断为乳腺癌，所以“lump”指的是皮肤下的肿块。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One good thing I can say about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective on my life-especially about what I consider “success” and “failure.”(关于癌症，我能说的一件好事是，它彻底改变了我对生活的看法，尤其是对“成功”和“失败”的理解)”可知，作者停止制定新年计划是因为癌症改变了她对生活的看法。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I understand the appeal of having a fresh start,I have learned from my illnesses that you can take the opportunity to start over at any time. In fact, you can start fresh every day if you want to!(我从疾病中学到，你可以在任何时候重新开始。事实上，如果你想的话，你可以每天重新开始)”可推知，作者未来可能会选择随时改变自己，而不是局限于特定的日子。故选D。 C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 29. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 30. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类利用海狸来预防森林野火以及这一做法的效果和海狸的习性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do.(领导该项目的生物学家达蒙·乔蒂说，他对该项目的结果感到惊讶。他曾估计，海狸需要大约十年的时间才能将该地区干涸的土地恢复到溪流中，但这些动物打破了他的预期。到了第三年，水又回来了。)”可知，乔蒂对这个项目感到惊讶因为效果比预期的要快。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive.(他们在水里很快移动，可以建造水坝，使池塘和湿地，他们可以更好地生存)”可知，海狸建造水体来减少野火的燃料来源。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. (北美海狸的数量一度因大量狩猎而减少)”可知，北美的海狸受到人类的威胁。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸).(该州的消防工作者和生态学家正在尽一切可能减少潜在的野火燃料来源。面对危险的干燥平原和至少需要100万美元的大型建设项目来修复这个地方，生态学家们做了一些令人惊讶的事情。他们叫来了海狸)”结合文章主要说明了人类利用海狸来预防森林野火，介绍了这一做法的效果以及海狸的习性。可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍利用海狸预防野火的方法。故选D。 D Do we really know our best friends? I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again. The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives. This seems strange, until you consider, that many-of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendahip may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends. Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions. 32. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph? A. To provide background information. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To show the difference between friends. 33. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. friendships B. strangers C. researchers D. benefits 34. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ . A. close friends usually know each other in depth B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often C we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them 35. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept? A. Stay friends but keep a distance. B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. D. True friends know all about you and still like you. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“我们是否真正了解自己最好的朋友”这一主题展开讨论，通过列举朋友的事例、引用研究结果等方式，阐述了对朋友关系的看法。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.(我非常喜欢我的好朋友，然而，他们几乎每天都让我震惊。我有一个朋友认为投票是浪费时间；我还有一个朋友从不认真对待任何约定在特定时间和地点见面的安排。)”可知，作者在第一段中讲述了他两个朋友的故事，是为了引出文章的主题。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This seems strange, until you consider, that many of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability.(这看起来很奇怪，直到你考虑到，友谊提供的许多好处并不一定依赖于完美的熟悉；它们来自更接近可靠的东西。)”可知，此处“they”指代上文提到的“the benefits”。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens.(事实是我们并不了解我们的朋友。大量的研究表明，我们倾向于认为我们的朋友比实际情况更同意我们的观点。最引人注目的是，这个问题并不会随着友谊的加深而减少。)”和“Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives.(两个人可能会成为亲密的朋友，但对彼此内心生活的广阔领域仍然一无所知。)”可推断，我们不一定和密友有相同的个性。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship.(也许把友谊看作是一种互相陪伴、忽略彼此缺点、不深入探究可能削弱友谊的方式，这有些令人感动。)”可推断，作者可能会接受“做朋友但保持距离”这种说法。故选A。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. ___36___ Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally.

This explains why tasting local food tops travelers’ to-do lists — it opens doors to meaningful interactions with locals. Familiar tastes instantly transport us home. Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot. ___39___ From family kitchens to international restaurants, food carries cultural stories. Its power to both unite people and protect traditions makes it special.

I’m Li Hua, and today I want to share how music transformed my life. Two years ago, I was a shy teenager who rarely spoke in public. Everything changed when my music teacher encouraged me to join the school band. Though my fingers ached while learning guitar chords, I gradually found joy in creating melodies. Performing my first song on stage, I realized music could break my fear of being seen. Besides boosting my confidence, music became my emotional anchor. During stressful exam periods, soothing piano pieces calmed my mind. Collaborating with friends in the band taught me teamwork and perseverance. Music isn’t just entertainment—it’s a bridge connecting hearts and healing wounds. It opened doors I never imagined. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。要求考生写一篇演讲稿，参加主题为“Music Has Changed My Life”的英语演讲比赛。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 改变：transformed → reshaped / altered / revolutionized​​ 害羞的：shy → timid / introverted​​ 逐渐地：gradually → slowly / progressively​​ ​​提高：boosting → enhancing / elevating​​ 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Collaborating with friends in the band taught me teamwork and perseverance. 拓展句：While I was collaborating with friends in the band, I learned teamwork and perseverance through countless rehearsals.​ 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Everything changed when my music teacher encouraged me to join the school band. （运用了when引导时间状语从句，运用了非谓语动词作宾补） 【高分句型2】 Performing my first song on stage, I realized music could break my fear of being seen. （运用了非谓语动词作状语，运用了非谓语动词作宾语） 第二节（满分 25 分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Another new year,” Maggie thought as she headed out. She walked a few blocks to buy herself a gift. Suddenly, one store caught her attention. And as she entered the front door, a small bell announced her presence. “Happy New Year,” a man greeted. “Hi,” Maggie replied, “you too.” “Can I help you find something?” he inquired. “I don’t really know what I want as my gift,” Maggie sighed. “Ah, when you don’t know what you want, get what you need,” he offered. After a brief moment of silence, the man smiled and claimed, “I have the perfect gift for you.” The man went to a shelf that had one item left on it. “This is what you need,” he said as he handed Maggie a box. “A doll?” Maggie asked, looking through the clean plastic on the front of the box. “It’s what you need and what will make you happy,” he replied. “It is a beautiful baby doll,” Maggie observed. “It looks expensive and I don’t know if I have enough money. How much is it?” “98 cents,” the man replied. Maggie asked in a surprising tone, “This doll is worth much more. How can you stay in business when you charge so little?” “We will be just fine,” the man smiled back at her, “and you will get a gift that will make you happy.” The doll was quickly wrapped and returned to her. Maggie paid for the doll and left. She walked down the street in the direction of home. The sky was slowly darkening as the evening took over. After a few minutes, she approached a woman and a young girl sitting on a bench next to the sidewalk in front of a small park. Maggie decided to sit down on a nearby vacant bench and take in the atmosphere of New Year. She noticed the woman was trying to comfort the little girl who was upset and sniffling (抽噎) . “We still have each other,” the woman comforted. “I know,” the young girl replied, “but I don’t know why somebody would steal presents on this day.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Both mother and daughter were thankful. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought. Looking around, Maggie noticed the gift-wrapped doll box next to her on the bench. She looked back at the mother and daughter, aware of what she had to do. Maggie left the bench, with the doll box in her hands, and approached them. “Excuse me,” Maggie said, “you don’t know me but I would like to give you this gift since I overheard that your present had been stolen.” Maggie handed the gift-wrapped box to the little girl whose eyes were wide open. Both mother and daughter were thankful. Tears of joy welling up in their eyes, the previous worry and concern were replaced by smiles. “I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.” the woman said in a choked voice, “Without your assistance, my daughter couldn’t have obtained the present. You have no idea what a surprise this is!” “I am happy to help!” Maggie replied as a warm feeling of joy came over her. Everyone had smiles on their faces, immersing themselves in the warm atmosphere. Only then did Maggie realize that it was kindness and love that made our world so beautiful! Another possible version： “Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought. She observed the woman and the girl on the bench. The girl’s face was filled with grief, her sobs tugging at Maggie’s heartstrings. Maggie had just purchased a beautiful doll as a gift for herself, but witnessing the girl’s sorrow made her reconsider. Maggie wondered if there was a way to share her own happiness with the girl who seemed to be missing out on the joy of the new year. After a moment of internal struggle, she decided to give the doll to the girl in need. Both mother and daughter were thankful. “This is your new year’s gift. I hope it brings you some happiness on this special day,” Maggie said. The woman’s face softened with a look of profound gratitude as she thanked Maggie once more. The girl held the doll as if it were a treasure, hugging it close to her chest. And her tears of sadness quickly turned into tears of joy. Maggie watched them for a moment, feeling a sense of fulfillment and warmth. As she continued her journey home, the stars of the new year were twinkling like diamonds in the evening sky. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新年时玛吉出门给自己买礼物，在一家店店主推荐给她一个漂亮娃娃，价格仅98美分，远低于其价值。玛吉买下后离开，傍晚在小公园旁长椅上，她看到一对母女，小女孩因礼物被偷而难过，母亲在安慰。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘真希望我能帮上什么忙，’玛吉想。”可知，第一段可描写玛吉决定把娃娃送给小女孩以及他们之间的对话。 ②由第二段首句内容“母女俩都很感激。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩的母亲感谢玛吉以及玛吉的心理感受。 2.续写线索：希望帮上忙——意识到自己做些什么——把娃娃送给小女孩——母女俩都很感激——每个人脸上都挂着笑容——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：noticed /observed ②获得：obtained /got/gained ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/ amaze/ astonishment ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]Looking around, Maggie noticed the gift-wrapped doll box next to her on the bench.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Maggie handed the gift-wrapped box to the little girl whose eyes were wide open.（运用了关系代词whose引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。现在是听力试音时间。Hi jack, I call you at a quarter to ten last night, but you didn't pick up.
