Here are four such films that are truly worth watching. The Pursuit of Happyness Based on a true story, it stars Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden Smith. The movie follows Chris Gardner, a struggling salesman who faces homelessness and extreme hardships. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, he never gives up on his dream of providing a better life for his son and becoming a successful stockbroker. His unwavering determination and love for his family make this film a powerful reminder that with hard work and perseverance, we can overcome any obstacle. Rocky This classic film tells the story of Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer from Philadelphia who gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fight the heavyweight champion. Rocky is an underdog, but his spirit and heart are indomitable. He trains tirelessly, pushing himself beyond his limits. The movie teaches us that it’s not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. It’s a timeless tale of hope,determination, and the human spirit. Dead Poets Society Set in a conservative prep schoo, this movie features Robin Williams as John Keating, an unconventional English teacher. Keating encourages his students to “seize the day”, to think for themselves, and to pursue their dreams. Through his teachings, the students are inspired to break free from the constraints of tradition and embrace their individuality. The film is a powerful exploration of the importance of education, creativity,and the pursuit of one’s passion. Brave Heart It is a historical epic that tells the story of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who leads a rebellion against English rule. Mel Gibson delivers a powerful performance as Wallace, who fights for freedom and justice despite great personal sacrifice. The movie is a stirring reminder of the power of courage and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. These four movies, each in its own unique way, have the power to inspire, motivate, and uplift. They remind us that no matter how difficult life may seem, we have the strength within us to overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. So, if you’re in need of a little inspiration, give these films a watch. You won’t be disappointed. 1. What does the movie Rocky teach us according to the passage? A.

B Erin Willman who lost her vision at fifteen, faced numerous challenges as people often told her what she cannot do, but she wanted to show them what she can do. Turned down from job applications due to her blindness, Erin decided to create her own path. Within a year, she established White Cane Coffee, becoming its CEO and proving that her disability would not hinder her ambitions. White Cane Coffee has grown from an idea born on a tough day into a thriving business with Erin’s coffee available in multiple cities. Beyond selling high-quality coffee, the company champions inclusiveness by creating employment opportunities for blind and disabled individuals, equipping them with valuable skills and boosting their confidence. The company’s commitment to inclusiveness is evident in its unique product labeling; each package features Braille, making it one of the pioneering companies to label all products this way. This initiative addresses Erin’ s belief that visually impaired individuals should be able to shop independently. The company provides jobs at a livable wage, offering freedoms and enriching the lives of employees who are often unfairly deprived of such opportunities elsewhere. Erin’s team emphasizes that their mission goes beyond wages — it instills hope and demonstrates the value of every employee as part of a larger effort. Profits from White Cane Coffee do more than just support the staff; they also contribute to leader dog training,community work with children, and fundraising for non-profits. Erin’s vision extends beyond personal success; her ultimate goal is to effect global change. She prioritizes social impact over material wealth, aiming to use her position to improve lives. Erin and her team remain thankful for the fantastic support from their community and disability support providers. And more importantly, they are proud of how much they accomplish in providing resources and empowerment to disabled people. They hope to continue to create additional jobs, which will help even more people become independent. To that end, they are working on some very exciting projects to help gain the footing necessary to jump to the next level as a company. 4. What made Erin decide to start her own coffee company? A. Making a living. B. Helping those in need. C. Being refused for her disability. D. Finding her own path. 5. The underlined word “champions” in paragraph 2 most likely means ______. A. competes for B. supports C. defeats D. celebrates 6. How does this company contribute to society? A. Supporting independence for the needed. B. Expanding globally and increasing sales. C. Offering high-paying jobs to employees. D. Selling coffee in multiple international cities. 7. What words can be used to describe Erin? A. Dependent and ambitious. B. Competitive and powerful. C. Optimistic and materialistic. D. Determined and considerate. C In today’s world where online shopping delivers packages to our doorsteps within hours, many find themselves trapped in a cycle of “retail therapy” — buying more to fill an emotional emptiness, only to end up with cluttered homes and emptier souls. The rise of materialism (实利主义) has not brought the promised joy; instead, it has left people exhausted by endless choices and haunted by the question: “Why do I own so much yet feel so little?” Joshua Fields Millburn, a leading voice in the modern minimalism movement, argues, “The things we own end up owning us.” His words echo a growing resistance against consumerism. Historically, the early 20th century’s assembly lines mass-produced goods, making ownership a symbol of progress. Today, however, “fast fashion” and one-click purchases have turned consumption into a compulsive habit rather than a conscious choice. A study reveals that the average American household contains over 300,000 items, yet 40% of these possessions remain unused. The consequences are twofold. Physically, overcrowded spaces cause “decision fatigue (决策疲劳).” For instance, a wardrobe bursting with clothes often leads to the daily struggle of “having nothing to wear”. Psychologically, social media expands comparison culture. Platforms like Instagram showcase well - designd lifestyles, pushing viewers to buy trendy items to fit in, even if they serve no real purpose. Sarah, a 28-year-old graphic designer, admitted, “I once bought five pairs of sneakers just because influencers said they were ‘must-haves’. They’re now collecting dust under my bed.” To knock back this minimalists propose the “30-Day Declutter Challenge”: remove one unnecessary item daily for a month. Sarah attempted this and donated 90% of her unworn clothes. “Freeing my closet freed my mind,” she said. With newfound mental clarity, she revived her childhood passion for painting — a dream buried under years of mindless shopping. Minimalism’is not about poverty but prioritization. By stripping away excess, we create space for what truly matters: meaningful relationships, personal growth, and purposeful living. As Millburn states, “Love people, use things. The opposite never works.” 8. Which statement would Joshua Fields Millburn probably agree with? A. Owning more items leads to greater happiness. B. Social media enhances our connection to meaningful living. C. Technology is the root of modern life’s complexity. D. True fulfillment comes from experiences, not possessions. 9. What is the primary reason why the author mentions “fast fashion”? A. To criticize its environmental impact. B. To exemplify how consumerism drives unnecessary purchases. C. To compare it with traditional clothing industries. D. To suggest affordable alternatives for readers. 10. What practical advice is given in the last but one paragraph? A. Start a 30-day minimalism challenge by decluttering. B. Delete all social media accounts immediately. C. Invest in high-quality technological gadgets. D. Avoid all forms of online shopping permanently. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Trap of Consumerism: Why We Buy Too Much B. Social Media and Shopping: A Modern Addiction C. Less is More: Embracing Minimalism in a Material World D. Material Wealth vs True Happiness: A Historical Debate D California Faces Severe Flu Outbreak California is currently experiencing a major flu outbreak, with influenza becoming the deadliest respiratory illness in the state for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Hospitals are struggling to cope with the surge in patients, as flu cases have now surpassed those of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. According to the CDC, the situation is made worse by low vaccination rates, with only 44% of adults and 46% of children receiving flu shots this season. In the Bay Area, over 70% of respiratory virus tests are now coming back positive for influenza. Since July 1, California has reported at least 561 flu-related deaths, including 10 pediatric deaths. Across the United States, the CDC estimates that during the 2024-2025 flu season, there have been 29 million flu cases, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths. Experts are particularly concerned about the presence of two circulating influenza A strains — H1N1 and H3N2 — which are increasing the risk of severe complications. These complications include acute necrotizing encephalopathy （ANE）, a rare but serious brain condition, and MRSA pneumonia, a bacterial infection that can cause permanent lung damage. The combination of these two strains means that people can get infected with one strain and still be vulnerable to the other. Despite the severity of the outbreak, public health officials are urging people to get vaccinated. They emphasize that while the vaccine may not prevent all infections, it can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to become fully effective, so getting vaccinated now can still provide protection for the remainder of the flu season. The flu season is expected to last for at least another month to six weeks, and there is a possibility of an additional wave of influenza B cases in the spring. Health officials warn that it is crucial for people to take preventive measures, such as frequent hand washing, staying home when sick, and getting vaccinated, to help slow the spread of the virus. 12. What is the main reason for the severity of the flu outbreak in California? A. The flu vaccine is less effective than in previous years. B. Hospitals are unable to handle the number of patients. C. Vaccination rates are significantly lower than usual. D. There is a shortage of medical supplies. 13. Which complication is mentioned as a serious risk associated with the current flu outbreak? A. COVID-19 B. Common cold C. Respiratory syncytial virus （RSV） D. Acute necrotizing encephalopathy （ANE） 14. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To describe the impact of the flu outbreak on hospitals in California. B. To compare the severity of influenza and COVID-19. C. To urge people to get vaccinated against the flu. D. To explain the different strains of influenza circulating. 15. What can be inferred about the future of the flu season from the passage? A. The flu season will end soon. B. There may be another wave of influenza B cases in the spring. C. Vaccination rates will improve significantly. D. The number of flu cases will decrease rapidly. 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。 Gaining real-world work experience through volunteering is a great way for students to build skills, increase employ ability and enjoy a range of other benefits. ____16____ Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills while being treated like a leading member of a team.

Every day was the same. Harriet felt like she was on a never-ending treadmill (跑步机), going through the motions without any real purpose. She was losing steam, and eventually found herself feeling numb. There was a writing competition she wanted to enter — kind of. She loved writing, but lately, she just couldn’t be bothered. It was as if all her energy had been drained away (耗尽). She stared at the blank page in her notebook, willing the words to come, but they remained hard to find. Then Zoe moved into their class. Everything about her gave off light and energy. From the way she bounced into the classroom to how she slung her backpack over her chair with carefree grace, Harriet was fascinated and desperate to know more about her. Zoe seemed to possess (拥有) an endless supply of vitality (活力), something Harriet sorely lacked. Her chance came during sports class when they were placed on the same running team. Harriet’s heart pounded, not from the exercise, but from the anticipation of finally speaking to Zoe. “Where do you get all your energy from? ” Harriet suddenly said out loud during a break. Zoe smiled mysteriously. “Lie down, ” she said. Confused but curious, Harriet followed Zoe’s lead and lay down on the grass. Next thing she knew, they were both looking up at the white fluffy clouds floating lazily above them. “Isn’t this incredible?” Zoe said her voice filled with wonder. Harriet looked up, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she really saw the sky. The world suddenly seemed so much bigger and more expansive. The clouds were like giant cotton balls, floating in an endless sea of blue. How could just changing your perspective change so much? “We spend too much time looking down, at our phones, at our feet, but not enough time looking up, ” said Zoe. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请安如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Harriet woke up and knew exactly what she wanted to do. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day for the writing competition results. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年普通高中高二下学期期中教学质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

Turned down from job applications due to her blindness, Erin decided to create her own path. Within a year, she established White Cane Coffee, becoming its CEO and proving that her disability would not hinder her ambitions. White Cane Coffee has grown from an idea born on a tough day into a thriving business with Erin’s coffee available in multiple cities. Beyond selling high-quality coffee, the company champions inclusiveness by creating employment opportunities for blind and disabled individuals, equipping them with valuable skills and boosting their confidence. The company’s commitment to inclusiveness is evident in its unique product labeling; each package features Braille, making it one of the pioneering companies to label all products this way. This initiative addresses Erin’ s belief that visually impaired individuals should be able to shop independently. The company provides jobs at a livable wage, offering freedoms and enriching the lives of employees who are often unfairly deprived of such opportunities elsewhere. Erin’s team emphasizes that their mission goes beyond wages — it instills hope and demonstrates the value of every employee as part of a larger effort. Profits from White Cane Coffee do more than just support the staff; they also contribute to leader dog training,community work with children, and fundraising for non-profits. Erin’s vision extends beyond personal success; her ultimate goal is to effect global change. She prioritizes social impact over material wealth, aiming to use her position to improve lives. Erin and her team remain thankful for the fantastic support from their community and disability support providers. And more importantly, they are proud of how much they accomplish in providing resources and empowerment to disabled people. They hope to continue to create additional jobs, which will help even more people become independent. To that end, they are working on some very exciting projects to help gain the footing necessary to jump to the next level as a company. 4. What made Erin decide to start her own coffee company? A.

Within a year, she established White Cane Coffee, becoming its CEO and proving that her disability would not hinder her ambitions. (由于失明，她的求职申请被拒绝，Erin决定开创自己的道路。不到一年，她就创立了White Cane Coffee，成为公司的首席执行官，证明了自己的残疾不会阻碍她的雄心壮志。)”可知，Erin由于失明，求职申请被拒绝，所以决定开创自己的道路，即创办自己的咖啡公司。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Beyond selling high-quality coffee, the company champions inclusiveness by creating employment opportunities for blind and disabled individuals, equipping them with valuable skills and boosting their confidence. (除了销售高品质的咖啡，该公司还通过为盲人和残疾人创造就业机会、为他们配备宝贵的技能和增强他们的信心来champions包容性)”可知，该公司通过为盲人和残疾人创造就业机会等措施来支持包容性，所以champions表示“支持或倡导某种理念”。A.competes for为……竞争；B. supports支持；C. defeats击败；D. celebrates庆祝。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This initiative addresses Erin’ s belief that visually impaired individuals should be able to shop independently. (这一举措符合Erin的观点，即视障人士应该能够独立购物。)”和第三段“The company provides jobs at a livable wage, offering freedoms and enriching the lives of employees who are often unfairly deprived of such opportunities elsewhere. (该公司提供足以维持生计的工资，为员工提供自由，丰富员工的生活，而这些员工在其他地方往往被不公平地剥夺了这样的机会。)”可知，该公司通过为视障人士提供独立购物的机会 (如通过Braille标签) 和为盲人及残疾人提供就业机会，来支持他们的独立。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Erin Willman, who lost her vision at fifteen, faced numerous challenges as people often told her what she cannot do, but she wanted to show them what she can do. (Erin Willman 15岁时失明，她面临着诸多挑战，因为人们经常告诉她什么她不能做，但她想向他们展示她能做什么。)”可知，Erin虽然失明，但面对挑战不屈不挠，决心向人们展示自己的能力，说明她意志坚定；以及根据第三段中“The company provides jobs at a livable wage, offering freedoms and enriching the lives of employees who are often unfairly deprived of such opportunities elsewhere. (该公司提供足以维持生计的工资，为员工提供自由，丰富员工的生活，而这些员工在其他地方往往被不公平地剥夺了这样的机会。)”和第四段“Erin’s vision extends beyond personal success; her ultimate goal is to effect global change. (Erin的愿景不仅限于个人成功；她的最终目标是实现全球变革。)”可知，Erin不仅关注自己的成功，还致力于为盲人和残疾人提供就业机会，推动社会包容性，并希望实现全球变革，说明她体贴周到。因此，Erin可以用“意志坚定且体贴周到”来形容。故选D。 C In today’s world where online shopping delivers packages to our doorsteps within hours, many find themselves trapped in a cycle of “retail therapy” — buying more to fill an emotional emptiness, only to end up with cluttered homes and emptier souls. The rise of materialism (实利主义) has not brought the promised joy; instead, it has left people exhausted by endless choices and haunted by the question: “Why do I own so much yet feel so little?” Joshua Fields Millburn, a leading voice in the modern minimalism movement, argues, “The things we own end up owning us.” His words echo a growing resistance against consumerism. Historically, the early 20th century’s assembly lines mass-produced goods, making ownership a symbol of progress. Today, however, “fast fashion” and one-click purchases have turned consumption into a compulsive habit rather than a conscious choice. A study reveals that the average American household contains over 300,000 items, yet 40% of these possessions remain unused. The consequences are twofold. Physically, overcrowded spaces cause “decision fatigue (决策疲劳).” For instance, a wardrobe bursting with clothes often leads to the daily struggle of “having nothing to wear”. Psychologically, social media expands comparison culture. Platforms like Instagram showcase well - designd lifestyles, pushing viewers to buy trendy items to fit in, even if they serve no real purpose. Sarah, a 28-year-old graphic designer, admitted, “I once bought five pairs of sneakers just because influencers said they were ‘must-haves’. They’re now collecting dust under my bed.” To knock back this, minimalists propose the “30-Day Declutter Challenge”: remove one unnecessary item daily for a month. Sarah attempted this and donated 90% of her unworn clothes. “Freeing my closet freed my mind,” she said. With newfound mental clarity, she revived her childhood passion for painting — a dream buried under years of mindless shopping. Minimalism’is not about poverty but prioritization. By stripping away excess, we create space for what truly matters: meaningful relationships, personal growth, and purposeful living. As Millburn states, “Love people, use things. The opposite never works.” 8. Which statement would Joshua Fields Millburn probably agree with? A. Owning more items leads to greater happiness. B. Social media enhances our connection to meaningful living. C. Technology is the root of modern life’s complexity. D. True fulfillment comes from experiences, not possessions. 9. What is the primary reason why the author mentions “fast fashion”? A. To criticize its environmental impact. B. To exemplify how consumerism drives unnecessary purchases. C. To compare it with traditional clothing industries. D. To suggest affordable alternatives for readers. 10. What practical advice is given in the last but one paragraph? A. Start a 30-day minimalism challenge by decluttering. B. Delete all social media accounts immediately. C. Invest in high-quality technological gadgets. D. Avoid all forms of online shopping permanently. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Trap of Consumerism: Why We Buy Too Much B. Social Media and Shopping: A Modern Addiction C. Less is More: Embracing Minimalism in a Material World D. Material Wealth vs True Happiness: A Historical Debate 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了现代消费主义导致的过度购物问题，以及极简主义作为一种解决方案的兴起。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Joshua Fields Millburn, a leading voice in the modern minimalism movement, argues, “The things we own end up owning us.” (现代极简主义运动的领军人物约书亚·菲尔兹·米尔本认为：“我们拥有的东西最终会拥有我们。”)” 以及文章最后一段中“Minimalism is not about poverty but prioritization. By stripping away excess, we create space for what truly matters: meaningful relationships, personal growth, and purposeful living. (极简主义不是关于贫穷，而是关于优先级。通过剥离多余的东西，我们为真正重要的事情创造了空间：有意义的关系、个人成长和有目的的生活。)”可推知，他主张真正的满足感来自体验而非物质。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Today, however, ‘fast fashion’ and one-click purchases have turned consumption into a compulsive habit rather than a conscious choice. (然而，今天，“快时尚”和一键式购买已经将消费变成了一种强迫性的习惯，而不是一种有意识的选择.)”可知，作者提到“快时尚”是为了举例说明消费主义如何导致不必要的购买，呼应前文“retail therapy”和“endless choices”的负面影响。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“To knock back this, minimalists propose the ‘30-Day Declutter Challenge’: remove one unnecessary item daily for a month. (为了抵制这种 (消费主义)，极简主义者提出了“30天清理挑战”：一个月内每天移除一件不必要物品。)”可知，最后一段给出的实际建议是通过清理来开始一个30天的极简主义挑战。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“In today’s world where online shopping delivers packages to our doorsteps within hours, many find themselves trapped in a cycle of “retail therapy” — buying more to fill an emotional emptiness, only to end up with cluttered homes and emptier souls. (在今天的世界里，网上购物可以在几个小时内把包裹送到我们家门口，许多人发现自己陷入了“零售疗法”的循环中——买更多的东西来填补情感上的空虚，结果却是家里乱七八糟，灵魂更空虚。 )”以及文章最后一段中“Minimalism is not about poverty but prioritization. By stripping away excess, we create space for what truly matters: meaningful relationships, personal growth, and purposeful living. (极简主义不是关于贫穷，而是关于优先级。通过剥离多余的东西，我们为真正重要的事情创造了空间：有意义的关系、个人成长和有目的的生活。)”可知，文章主要讨论了现代社会的消费主义问题，并提出了极简主义作为解决方案。C选项“少即是多：在物质世界中拥抱极简主义”既概括了文章的主题，又体现了极简主义的核心思想，因此是最佳标题。故选C。 D California Faces Severe Flu Outbreak California is currently experiencing a major flu outbreak, with influenza becoming the deadliest respiratory illness in the state for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Hospitals are struggling to cope with the surge in patients, as flu cases have now surpassed those of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. According to the CDC, the situation is made worse by low vaccination rates, with only 44% of adults and 46% of children receiving flu shots this season. In the Bay Area, over 70% of respiratory virus tests are now coming back positive for influenza. Since July 1, California has reported at least 561 flu-related deaths, including 10 pediatric deaths. Across the United States, the CDC estimates that during the 2024-2025 flu season, there have been 29 million flu cases, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths. Experts are particularly concerned about the presence of two circulating influenza A strains — H1N1 and H3N2 — which are increasing the risk of severe complications. These complications include acute necrotizing encephalopathy （ANE）, a rare but serious brain condition, and MRSA pneumonia, a bacterial infection that can cause permanent lung damage. The combination of these two strains means that people can get infected with one strain and still be vulnerable to the other. Despite the severity of the outbreak, public health officials are urging people to get vaccinated. They emphasize that while the vaccine may not prevent all infections, it can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to become fully effective, so getting vaccinated now can still provide protection for the remainder of the flu season. The flu season is expected to last for at least another month to six weeks, and there is a possibility of an additional wave of influenza B cases in the spring. Health officials warn that it is crucial for people to take preventive measures, such as frequent hand washing, staying home when sick, and getting vaccinated, to help slow the spread of the virus. 12. What is the main reason for the severity of the flu outbreak in California? A. The flu vaccine is less effective than in previous years. B. Hospitals are unable to handle the number of patients. C. Vaccination rates are significantly lower than usual. D. There is a shortage of medical supplies. 13. Which complication is mentioned as a serious risk associated with the current flu outbreak? A. COVID-19 B. Common cold C. Respiratory syncytial virus （RSV） D. Acute necrotizing encephalopathy （ANE） 14. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To describe the impact of the flu outbreak on hospitals in California. B. To compare the severity of influenza and COVID-19. C. To urge people to get vaccinated against the flu. D. To explain the different strains of influenza circulating. 15. What can be inferred about the future of the flu season from the passage? A. The flu season will end soon. B. There may be another wave of influenza B cases in the spring. C. Vaccination rates will improve significantly. D. The number of flu cases will decrease rapidly. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加利福尼亚州正面临严重的流感疫情。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“According to the CDC, the situation is made worse by low vaccination rates, with only 44% of adults and 46% of children receiving flu shots this season. (根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，由于疫苗接种率较低，情况变得更糟，本季度只有44%的成年人和46%的儿童接种了流感疫苗。)”可知，加利福尼亚州流感疫情严重的主要原因是疫苗接种率显著低于平常。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Experts are particularly concerned about the presence of two circulating influenza A strains — H1N1 and H3N2 — which are increasing the risk of severe complications. These complications include acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE), a rare but serious brain condition, and MRSA pneumonia, a bacterial infection that can cause permanent lung damage. (专家们特别关注两种正在传播的甲型流感毒株——H1N1和H3N2，它们增加了严重并发症的风险。这些并发症包括急性坏死性脑病 (ANE)，这是一种罕见但严重的脑部疾病，以及耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌肺炎，这是一种可能导致永久性肺损伤的细菌感染。)”可知，文章提到急性坏死性脑病 (ANE) 是一种严重的并发症。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite the severity of the outbreak, public health officials are urging people to get vaccinated. (尽管疫情严重，公共卫生官员仍敦促人们接种疫苗。)”和最后一段中“Health officials warn that it is crucial for people to take preventive measures, such as frequent hand washing, staying home when sick, and getting vaccinated, to help slow the spread of the virus. (卫生官员警告说，人们采取预防措施至关重要，如经常洗手、生病时待在家里以及接种疫苗，以帮助减缓病毒传播。)”可知，文章的主要目的是敦促人们接种流感疫苗。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The flu season is expected to last for at least another month to six weeks, and there is a possibility of an additional wave of influenza B cases in the spring. (流感季节预计至少还会持续一个月到六周，春季可能会出现另一波乙型流感病例。)”可知，未来可能会出现一波乙型流感病例。故选B。 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。 Gaining real-world work experience through volunteering is a great way for students to build skills, increase employ ability and enjoy a range of other benefits. ____16____ Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills while being treated like a leading member of a team.

Harriet felt like she was on a never-ending treadmill (跑步机), going through the motions without any real purpose. She was losing steam, and eventually found herself feeling numb. There was a writing competition she wanted to enter — kind of. She loved writing, but lately, she just couldn’t be bothered. It was as if all her energy had been drained away (耗尽). She stared at the blank page in her notebook, willing the words to come, but they remained hard to find. Then Zoe moved into their class. Everything about her gave off light and energy. From the way she bounced into the classroom to how she slung her backpack over her chair with carefree grace, Harriet was fascinated and desperate to know more about her. Zoe seemed to possess (拥有) an endless supply of vitality (活力), something Harriet sorely lacked. Her chance came during sports class when they were placed on the same running team. Harriet’s heart pounded, not from the exercise, but from the anticipation of finally speaking to Zoe. “Where do you get all your energy from? ” Harriet suddenly said out loud during a break. Zoe smiled mysteriously. “Lie down, ” she said. Confused but curious, Harriet followed Zoe’s lead and lay down on the grass. Next thing she knew, they were both looking up at the white fluffy clouds floating lazily above them. “Isn’t this incredible?” Zoe said, her voice filled with wonder. Harriet looked up, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she really saw the sky. The world suddenly seemed so much bigger and more expansive. The clouds were like giant cotton balls, floating in an endless sea of blue. How could just changing your perspective change so much? “We spend too much time looking down, at our phones, at our feet, but not enough time looking up, ” said Zoe. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请安如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day Harriet woke up and knew exactly what she wanted to do. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day for the writing competition results. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next day, Harriet woke up and knew exactly what she wanted to do. She grabbed her notebook and pen, feeling a renewed sense of excitement. Determined to capture the essence of what Zoe had shown her, she began to write. Harriet wrote about the sky, the clouds, and the feeling of endless possibilities that came with looking up. She poured her heart and soul into her piece, driven by a newfound passion for life and a desire to share it with others. Then came the day for the writing competition results. Harriet stood nervously among her classmates, her heart racing with anticipation. When the announcer read out her name as the winner, she could hardly believe her ears. She had never felt such a rush of joy and pride. As she walked up to receive her prize, she saw Zoe clapping and smiling warmly. She approached Zoe afterwards, gratitude shining in her eyes, and whispered, “Thank you for reminding me to look up and see the beauty in the world.” Zoe simply smiled and nodded, knowing that sometimes, all it takes is a small change in perspective to make a world of difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了哈丽特喜欢写作，想参加一个写作比赛，但是苦于没有写作灵感。这时她遇到了佐伊，佐伊充满活力，喜爱自然，带给了哈丽特灵感。于是在佐伊的启发下，哈丽特完成了写作，并且赢得了写作比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，哈丽特醒来，她清楚地知道自己想做什么”可知，第一段可描写哈丽特开始完成自己的作品的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后是作文比赛结果公布的日子”可知，第二段可描写哈丽特赢得比赛，感谢佐伊。 2.续写线索：哈丽特写作——完成作品——宣布结果——哈丽特获胜——佐伊祝贺——哈丽特感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：capture/catch ②看到：see/spot ③认识到：know/realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Determined to capture the essence of what Zoe had shown her, she began to write.
