There are other sustainable tourism forms that focus on different priorities (优先事项), like volunteer work, small businesses, and unique local experiences. Soft Tourism Soft tourism relies on small-scale, locally-owned and operated businesses that employ local community members, respect the local way of life and local traditions. Soft tourism typically features what tourists are going through during the travel rather than choosing the most-visited tourist attractions. Tourists prefer to gain in-depth knowledge about the destination, and spend more time in one spot. Voluntourism Voluntourism involves tourists who travel for the specific purpose of volunteering, such as teaching English in a foreign country, working with a wildlife rescue center, or offering medical services to underdeveloped areas. Voluntourists can travel at home or internationally, typically for a charity or non-profit work, participating in voluntourism programs that help local communities and benefit destinations in the long term. Community Tourism Community-based tourism puts a region’s tourism industry into the hands of its local residents, and it is often supported by its governments or non-profit organizations that have experience in tourism development. Community members will manage guesthouses where tourists can get an authentic (正 宗的) experience of local culture, become tour guides, or provide other tourism services. This type of tourism is important because economic benefits usually go straight towards local families and stay within the community. 21. According to the passage, what is a key feature of soft tourism? A. It requires government funding to operate. B. It involves large international hotel chains. C. It stresses local businesses and cultural experiences. D. It focuses on protecting the ecological environment. 22. What experience does Voluntourism offer to tourists? A. Tasting the local specialities. B. Picking up the native languages. C. Visiting the hottest tourist attractions. D. Working with Elephant Aid International. 23. What do the three types of tourism have in common? A. Non-profitable and eye-catching. B. Money-saving and family-engaged. C. Pressure-free and government-supported. D. Developmentally-friendly and local-beneficial. 高一英语试卷，第4页（共 10 页） B Teri Russo, who provided food, shelter and clothing for people with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合 征), died at 82. She, an Advance Woman of Achievement who spent her life fighting for “the children of God”, believed that children with Down Syndrome (DS) were often treated badly and neglected based on what they look like. Ms. Russo devoted her life to disabled, abandoned children. Her motto was to live life to the fullest with love in your heart and a smile on your face and remember never to hurt anyone. Born in Rosebank, Ms. Russo was the eldest child of Dorothy and Louis Russo, who moved to Grasmere during the early 1950s. Educated at St. John Villa Academy, Ms. Russo then joined the U.S. Navy and went to California where she worked for children with Down Syndrome as a nurse. It was at that time that she first met children with Down Syndrome. In 1972, she started Down Syndrome Learning Center in Tottenville, but later, because of a lack of funding, she moved the school to her home. The program included kindergarten and graded elementary classes, as well as reading classes, a wood shop, day trips and a sleep away camp. Early on there weren’t too many programs for children with disabilities and they didn’t start school until they were 3 years old. Ms. Russo felt they were being cheated out of an education during the years that are the most developmental. Throughout the years, she applied to city and state officials for better programs for Down Syndrome children. Over the years she helped place a number of Down Syndrome children, including 11 from Willowbrook, in adoptive or foster families. She stressed parents shouldn’t be influenced by negative labels schools and medical professionals used in describing children’s abilities. “Professionals always tell you what they (DS children) cannot do,” she once said. “Keep them stimulated. You treat them more towards the normal, not the exception, and you will get more out of your child.” 24. What left children with Down Syndrome overlooked according to Ms. Russo? A. Their abilities. B. Their physical appearances. C. Their movements. D. Their disappointed parents. 25. What made Ms. Russo start Down Syndrome Learning Center? A. The internal calling to help. B. The availability of enough money. C. The repeated requests of parents. D. The growing number of DS children. 26. What does Ms. Russo want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Society needs to change the attitude towards DS children. B. Professionals often underestimate the DS children’s abilities. C. Parents should have faith in their children’s potential to encourage growth. D. Parents should accept their children’s limitations and provide special treatment . 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Teri Russo devoted her life to fighting for DS children. B. A devoted nurse tried her best to explore Down Syndrome. C. Programs Teri Russo successfully started helped DS children. D. DS children face more challenges than normal people expect. 高一英语试卷，第5页（共 10 页） C About 10,000 years ago, humans evolved (进化) a tolerance to cow’s milk; over the past 150 years, we’ve added 10 centimetres to our average height; and over the past 65 years, we’ve added 20 years to the average lifespan (寿命), mostly thanks to advances in science. We’ve come so far in such an incredibly short period of time, so what will we look like in another 1000 years? Firstly, our brains are so good that the most advanced computer system doesn’t even come close. In fact, in 2014 researchers used the K computer in Japan — one of the most powerful computers in the world — to simulate (模拟) human brain activity, and it took 705,024 processor cores, 1.4 million GB of RAM, and 40 minutes to process the same amount of data processed by one second of brain activity. But we might not always have an edge over the machines we create. Scientists predict that, in the future, computers will not only match the computational speed of the human brain, and we’ll also develop artificial intelligence that can speak, listen and remember. Let’s hope the computers don’t use all that information to turn against us. As computers grow progressively more human, humans will become more integrated with robots. In the future, scientists predict that we’ll have tiny robots called nanobots swimming around our bodies and improving our natural abilities. In the next 1000 years, the number of languages spoken on the planet is set to dramatically fall, and extra heat and UV radiation could see darker skin become an evolutionary advantage. Also, we’re all set to get a whole lot taller and thinner, if we want to survive, that is. Why? Let’s just say global warming is going to have a much bigger impact on our appearance than you might think. 28. What’s the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the importance of science. B. To predict the physical changes in humans. C. To list how humans have changed in history. D. To introduce the idea of future human evolution. 29. How does the author emphasize the power of the human brain in paragraph 2? A. By listing figures. B. By making a comparison. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By showing background information. 30. What do scientists predict about future computers? A. They will hold control of human brains. B. They will make humans more powerful. C. They will go against the orders of humans. D. They will take over humans’ life to the fullest. 31. What will happen in the next 1000 years according to the text? A. People with darker skin will be healthier. B. Diverse cultures will become more booming. C. Robots will enjoy the same rights as humans. D. There will be bigger changes in human appearance. 高一英语试卷，第6页（共 10 页） D Even though using dyes (染料) to develop lenses (镜片) for glasses to correct colorblindness is not novel, these 3D-printed glasses seem to break fresh ground. Researchers at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi have made a very special set of glasses that allows colorblind people to view the world in color. The lenses of the eyewear are printed with a semi-transparent resin (树脂), which is mixed with dyes. The result is a set of lenses that can adjust colors according to what the user sees. There’s a wide range of color vision deficiencies (CVDs). The most common type of them is red- green blindness, where people cannot distinguish between both. The 3D-printed eyeglasses help block and distribute the color as the eye sees it, allowing the brain to send better signals to make out the colors. Two different dyes were used during printing — one blocked the undesired wavelengths for red-green patients and the other occluded those unwanted for yellow-blue patients. In the test, their eyesight was effectively corrected. The research team tested their product against other commercially-available solutions. The team found that their glasses were more selective at blocking different shades. Thanks to the tailored nature of 3D printing, the glasses can be adapted and customized to anyone’s face shape and degree of colorblindness. 3D printing was also chosen as a means to keep the glasses smooth and comfortable on the wearer’s face. However, as 3D-printing ink can be poisonous, the glasses were left to dip in water for a week to test their durability (耐久性). The team found afterward that there wasn’t any leakage (泄露) of the dyes, proving their permanence and safety. A pair of 3D-printed glasses may not sound revolutionary, but to some people with colorblindness, they could paint a whole new world in color. They will help colorblind people manage the challenges of their daily activities, making their lives easier. 32. What is special about the 3D-printed glasses? A. They only work for red-green colorblindness. B. Dyes are first used in lenses to deal with CVDs. C. They can adjust colors based on the users’ vision. D. They are made from transparent resin with no dyes. 33. What does the underlined word “occluded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Removed. B. Absorbed. C. Delivered. D. Corrected. 34. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The original inspiration behind 3D-printed glasses. B. The commercial potential of 3D-printing technology. C. The advantages of using 3D-printing for making glasses. D. The technical challenges in producing 3D-printed glasses. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Novel Dyes: Revolutionizing Color Vision. B. 3D Printing: Bringing Color to the Colorblind. C. 3D-Printed Glasses: A Cure for Colorblindness. D. 3D-Printed Glasses: A Blessing for Colorblindness. 第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 高一英语试卷，第7页（共 10 页） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 In recent years, more Americans are spending time alone. People are dining, traveling, and living by themselves more than ever before. This has raised concerns, especially after the U.S. declared a loneliness crisis in 2023. 36 However, not all time alone is harmful. Some people choose solitude just because they enjoy it — a state researchers call “positive solitude,” linked to relaxation, clear thinking, and self-connection. A psychologist studying this topic found that many people feel refreshed after quiet alone time, and a 2024 survey showed over half of Americans consider solitude essential for mental health. 37 Despite the benefits, in many cultures, being social is still seen as the right way to live. 38 Media often describes being alone in negative terms, and many people think of solitude as loneliness. 39 Studies indicate that over 40% of older people living alone report high life satisfaction rather than feeling lonely. Also, some artists and writers also rely on alone time to fuel creativity. In this regard, it is safe to draw the conclusion that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. Besides, how we use that time actually makes a great difference. That said, alone time is not always helpful — especially if it’s spent on phones or social media. 40 It’s a chance to slow down, rest, and understand your own feelings. More people are now learning to see solitude in a positive way. Just like we need others, we also need time to be with ourselves. A. But research says otherwise. B. However, the benefits of solitude can’t be overlooked. C. People who enjoy being alone may feel judged or misunderstood. D. Solitude requires a quiet environment, free from any external noise. E. True solitude means turning off distractions and being with yourself. F. After all, long-term loneliness can harm both mental and physical health. G. Some even buy small “quiet rooms” to enjoy peaceful time by themselves. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 40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。 I spent my teenage years on purpose avoiding eye contact with them—those untidy-looking people on the corner with a sign in their hand. Like most people, I mastered the art of 41 them. Everything changed when my best friend, battling terminal breast cancer, shared her 42 : “True living means 43 everything, not just looking.” Inspired, I began practicing conscious observation. Originally, it brought 44 discoveries: sunlight breaking through storm clouds, dewdrops clinging to roses, the sudden magic of rainbows. Then my 45 vision revealed what I’d long ignored. There he stood—a man with cracked lips and sunburned cheeks, his cardboard sign reading “Anything 46 .” My throat tightened as I approached. “What would 47 right now?” I asked. “Socks,” he said hoarsely (沙哑地), exposing shoes with falling apart soles. “Dry feet. Just once.” Without missing a beat, I reached into my backpack and pulled out the 48 hiking socks— a 高一英语试卷，第8页（共 10 页） birthday gift still in its packaging. At first, he refused, but 49 when I told it would 50 me. His reaction moved me deeply: pressing the material to his face, he whispered, “They smell like sunshine.” As he 51 them on, I saw a pool of tears 52 up in his eyes. “Haven’t felt this warm since...” The sentence faded away as we embraced. Now my box in the car stocks 53 and other stuff. Last week, a woman held her new warm gloves, whispering, “You saw me, actually saw me.” Her words clung to me, a(n) 54 of my friend’s final lesson: Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t in the 55 , but in the seeing. 41. A. ignoring B. rescuing C. pitying D. observing 42. A. failure B. fantasy C. philosophy D. suffering 43. A. learning B. enjoying C. accomplishing D. seeing 44. A. unusual B. delightful C. external D. creative 45. A. desired B. narrowed C. widened D. damaged 46. A. contributes B. helps C. exists D. survives 47.

This is Chinese dance, 56 over-5,000-year-old art form that mixes actions, emotion, and symbolism into an appealing visual language. 57 Western ballet’s focus on precision (精确), Chinese dance stresses expression through flow, 58 the body becomes a brush painting stories in the air. Chinese dance began as a sacred (神圣的) act, performed 59 (honor) gods and ancestors. By the Tang Dynasty, it had become a center of court entertainment with dancers performing for emperors and foreign dignitaries. 60 (root) in martial arts and opera, classical dance is called the “ballet of the East”. Dancers use flowing silk sleeves and various hand gestures to express emotions. 61 (compare) folk dance with classical dance, we think that it seems 62 (common) in rural China. The Yangko, popular in northern China, 63 (feature) lively group formations and twirling handkerchiefs, while the southern Lion Dance combines acrobatics (杂技) and drumming to hold back evil spirits. These dances are deeply collective, often involving entire villages. 高一英语试卷，第9页（共 10 页） Chinese dance is more than entertainment—it’s a bridge between the past and the present, East and West. 64 through a village Yangko or a high-tech stage production, it reminds us that movement is a universal language and the hidden language of the soul. That soul speaks with 5,000 years of 65 (wise) in China. 第三节 单句填空（共 20 小题；每小题 0.5 分，满分 10 分） 66-75：根据中文或首字母用单词或短语完成句子，注意形式变化。（70、74、75 有首字母 提示。请在答题纸上写出完整的单词，不要遗漏所给的首字母。） 66.

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 注意： 1. 只需续写第一段，词数应为 80 词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents.
