These cave houses are built with vaulted(有拱顶t的)rooms and thick earthen walls..The entrances are decorated with beautiful wooden windows.Inside,you'll find large,heated beds known as the kang. which provide warmth during cold winters.Small tunnels connect the rooms,creating a comfortable living space. The design of yaodong is closely tied to the environment of the Loess Plateau.The region has a dry climate with strong winds,making above-ground houses less practical.By contrast,yaodong are built into the earth,offering protection from bad weather.The soil in this area is thick and fine,making it easy to dig while providing strong support for the structure.This natural material also acts as excellent insulation,keeping the homes cool in summer and warm in winter.Additionally,because wood and other building materials are little,yaodong are a low-cost and sustainable choice for the local people. Yaodong come in different forms,each adapted to the local landscape.One type is the cliff-side yaodong(靠崖式窑)，which is carved directly into the hill--sides.These homes have open fronts that allow natural light and air to flow in..Another type is the sunken yaodong(下沉式窑)，which is built by digging a large rectangular pit (into the ground.Rooms are then carved into the walls of the pit,creating an underground courtyard.This design provides extra insulation and privacy.Finally,there are stand-alone yaodong,which are built above ground using materials like earth,stone and mud.These houses are common in areas where digging into the earth is not possible 28.Which paragraph is mainly about the structure of yaodong? A.Paragraph 1.B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3. D.Paragraph 4. 29.What does the underlined word "insulation"refer to in the text? A.A material to make rooms cooler. B.A material to make rooms warmer. C.A material to stop heat getting in and out.D.A material to prevent water coming in. 30.What do we know about the sunken yaodong? A.It has an open front yard. B.It stands on strong stones. C.It is dug directly into the hill-sides. D.It is built under the ground. 31.What can we learn from this text? A.We should be at one with nature. B.We should live in low-cost houses. C.We should make the most of space. D.We should build more yangdong for people. D Last month,a series of wildfires broke out in southern California,killing dozens of people.The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone(容易起火的)areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick,orange smoke.Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer.Here's what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees bumns,it releases CO2,water,heat and,depending on the available fuel,various chemicals and particles ()Those tiny particles,which float in the air,can include metals,dust and more.If they're smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter ()they can get through 资阳市英语试题第4页共8贞 our body's natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs,causing many health problems. Such particles,called PM2.5,is a common pollutant.It's also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants.But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body When a fire breaks out in an urban area,it destroys homes,offices,cars and other facilities.In other words,more stuff is burned.Paints,metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals.A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What's worse,over time,the smoke is exposed to sunlight.The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants.Then,as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities,it can mix with even more local pollution.Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles,both possibly harmful,can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 32.What is the main topic of the text? A.The causes of wildfires. B.Climate change impact. C.Preventing urban wildfires. D.Health risks of wildfire smoke. 33.Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A.It enters the lungs. B.It travels far. C.It's larger in size. D.It's only from fires. 34.What's a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A.Urban fires affect more trees B.Urban fires burn less material. C.Urban fires release more pollutants. D.Urban fires produce less smoke. 35.What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A.It changes color. B.It becomes harmless. C.It quickly disappears. D.It forms other pollutants. 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敏佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I feel guilty every time I receive a new package on my doorstep.I know that buying more new things isn't good for the planet-the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.36 Actually,the desire to keep buying things isn't just a personal imperfection -it's actually part of how our brains evolved. Long ago,our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things,like moving toward food or backing away from dangers.37They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine ()a feel-good chemical,whenever we do something good.Over time,we leamn to repeat the actions that give us good feelings. 38 When we get an unexpected reward,our brains release even more dopamine.That's why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping. Over time,though,the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades.The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action.That's why we're constantly drawn to new things.39 So,how do we break the cycle?The solution isn't to stop buying things completely.Instead,we can replace the old rewards with new rewards.Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack,we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet.40 You still get something that is new 资阳市英语试题第5页共8页 to you,and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward,but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth. A.Our brains love surprises. B.Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice. C.Our brains long for that original unexpected joy. D.Today,our brains still work that way,but they're more complex. E.However,all humans are different,and our brains work differently F.Still,every time I make a purchase,I get a small burst of joy that's hard to resist. G.Creating social rewards can also encourage more people to change their behavior. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 "Sticks and stones will break my bones,but words will never hurt me."Do you 41 that old saying?Probably not,because you know words can sometimes hurt more than a 42 arm.The words we speak show how we feel,and unkind words hurt both the person who 43 and the person who says them.

English is also widely spoken”，说明人们使用阿拉伯语和英语交流。 D 项错误，文中提到 “Animals like goats and camels are also raised”，说明存在动物，并非 “没有动物”。 22. What is the geographical feature of the land of Qatar? A. Wide. B. Sandy. C. Dirty. D. Hilly. 答案：B 解析：文中描述卡塔尔的地形为 “The land of Qatar is mostly barren, low plains which are covered in desert（以荒芜的低平原为主，被沙漠覆盖）”，沙漠的主要特征是多沙，因此 “sandy（多沙的）” 符合其地理特征。A 项 “wide（宽阔的）”、C 项 “dirty（肮脏的）”、D 项 “hilly（多山的）” 均未在文中提及，故排除。 23. Where was the text most likely taken from? A. A newspaper. B. A film review. C. A book of facts. D. A tour instruction. 答案：C 解析：本文是对卡塔尔的客观事实性介绍，涵盖地理、政治、文化、自然等多方面基础信息，属于 “事实类内容”，最可能来自 “a book of facts（事实手册）”。 A 项 “newspaper（报纸）” 通常侧重新闻事件，不符合；B 项 “film review（影评）” 与内容无关；D 项 “tour instruction（旅游指南）” 会更侧重旅游实用信息（如景点、行程等），而本文未涉及，故排除。 B The 2025 Spring Festival Gala had a special guest. He is Evan Kail, an American shop owner and content creator. In 2022, Kail received a photo album from one of his 200,000 online followers. It contained photographs of the killings of Chinese civilians by Japanese troops during World War 1l. Kail realized that these could be evidence of war crimes, He posted a TikTok video featuring images from the album, hoping to find a museum that would like to examine them. The video went popular within hours and received over 25 million views in a week. Many Chinese viewers expressed their thanks to him. However, his decision not to publish or sell the photographs of the kilings later caused a wild storm of online hate against him. Some people accused him of making the whole thing up and trying to get famous. He even receives serious life threats. Despite physical danger and emotional suffering, Kail was determined to give the album to China. He eventually donated it to the Consulate General (总领事馆) of China in Chicago. In response, he received a gift. It was a beautiful porcelain tea jar along with a letter thanking him for his contribution. The tea jar was present at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala as well. Two years after making the donation, Kail went on a two-month trip to China, visiting Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Heilongjiang and Wuhan. He hoped that he could be an ambassador (大使) of peace and help the people of both countries get to know each other. It was in Wuhan, the last stop of his jourey, where he received his Gala invitation, making him the first American ever invited. 【文章大意】本文讲述了美国人埃文・凯尔的相关经历。2022 年，凯尔从其 20 万在线粉丝中的一位那里收到一本相册，里面是二战期间日军杀害中国平民的照片，他认为这可能是战争罪的证据，于是在 TikTok 上发布了含相册图片的视频，希望能找到愿意研究该相册的博物馆。视频走红后，因他决定不出版或出售这些照片，遭到了网络攻击甚至生命威胁，但他仍决心将相册捐赠给中国驻芝加哥总领事馆，并收到了一个精美的瓷茶罐和一封感谢信。两年后，他开启了为期两个月的中国之旅，到访多个城市，希望成为和平大使，促进两国人民相互了解，他也因此成为首位受邀参加 2025 年春晚的美国人。 24.

These cave houses are built with vaulted (有拱顶的) rooms and thick earthen walls. The entrances are decorated with beautiful wooden windows. Inside, you'll find large, heated beds known as the kang which provide warmth during cold winters. Small tunnels connect the rooms, creating a comfortable living space. The design of yaodong is closely tied to the environment of the Loess Plateau. The region has a dry climate with strong winds, making above-ground houses less practical. By contrast, yaodong are built into the earth, offering protection from bad weather. The soil in this area is thick and fine, making it easy to dig while providing strong support for the structure. This natural material also acts as excellent insulation, keeping the homes cool in summer and warm in winter. Additionally, because wood and other building materials are little, yaodong are a low-cost and sustainable choice for the local people. Yaodong come in different forms, each adapted to the local landscape. One type is the cliff-side yaodong (靠崖式窑洞), which is carved directly into the hill-sides. These homes have open fronts that allow natural light and air to flow in. Another type is the sunken yaodong (下沉式密洞), which is built by digging a large rectangular pit (矩形坑) into the ground. Rooms are then carved into the walls of the pit, creating an underground courtyard. This design provides extra insulation and privacy. Finally, there are stand-alone yaodong, which are built above ground using materials like earth, stone and mud. These houses are common in areas where digging into the earth is not possible. 【文章大意】本文介绍了中国北方黄土高原上的传统窑洞（yaodong）。约 4000 万人仍居住在这种与当地独特景观完美融合的传统洞穴中。窑洞有着拱顶房间、厚实土墙，入口装饰有精美的木窗，内部有取暖的火炕，房间由小通道连接，形成舒适的居住空间。其设计与黄土高原的环境密切相关：当地气候干燥多风，黄土厚实细腻，适合挖掘且能提供结构支撑，同时具有良好的隔热性，使窑洞冬暖夏凉；此外，窑洞成本低、可持续。窑洞有多种形式，如靠崖式（直接凿于山坡）、下沉式（挖矩形坑并在坑壁凿房间）和独立式（用土、石等在地面建造），均适应了当地地形。 28. Which paragraph is mainly about the structure of yaodong? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 答案：B 解析：第一段介绍窑洞的居住情况及与景观的融合；第二段具体描述窑洞的结构：拱顶房间、厚实土墙、木窗装饰、火炕、连接房间的小通道等，符合 “structure（结构）” 的范畴；第三段讲窑洞设计与环境的关联；第四段介绍窑洞的不同类型。因此，主要关于窑洞结构的是第二段，选 B。 29. What does the underlined word “insulation" refer to in the text? A. A material to make rooms cooler. B. A material to make rooms warmer. C. A material to stop heat getting in and out. D. A material to prevent water coming in. 答案：C 解析：文中提到 “this natural material also acts as excellent insulation, keeping the homes cool in summer and warm in winter”，即这种天然材料（黄土）能让房屋夏季凉爽、冬季温暖，说明其作用是阻隔热量进出。A 项 “仅使房间变凉”、B 项 “仅使房间变热” 均片面；D 项 “防止进水” 与上下文描述的 “隔热” 无关，故排除。 30. What do we know about the sunken yaodong? A. It has an open front yard. B. It stands on strong stones. C. It is dug directly into the hill-sides. D. It is built under the ground. 答案：D 解析：文中明确描述下沉式窑洞 “is built by digging a large rectangular pit into the ground. Rooms are then carved into the walls of the pit, creating an underground courtyard”，即它是建在地下的。 A 项 “有开放式前院” 是靠崖式窑洞的特点；B 项 “立于坚固石头上” 文中未提及；C 项 “直接凿于山坡” 是靠崖式窑洞的特点，故排除。 31. What can we learn from this text? A. We should be at one with nature. B. We should live in low-cost houses. C. We should make the most of space. D. We should build more yangdong for people. 答案：A 解析：文章强调窑洞的设计与黄土高原的自然环境紧密结合（如适应气候、利用当地土壤特性），体现了人与自然和谐共生的理念。B 项 “应住低成本房屋”、C 项 “应充分利用空间” 并非文章核心；D 项 “应建造更多窑洞” 文中未提及，文章仅客观介绍窑洞，未提倡大量建造，故排除。 D Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO,, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒). Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they're smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body's natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It's also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned, Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 【文章大意】本文围绕加州南部野火展开，重点阐述了野火烟雾的健康危害及原因。野火产生的浓烟含有多种有害化学物质和颗粒，其中直径小于 2.5 微米的 PM2.5 颗粒可进入肺部引发健康问题，且野火烟雾中的 PM2.5 比其他来源的更有害。城市野火因燃烧更多物质（如房屋、汽车等），释放的有害化学物质是林地野火的 1000 多倍。此外，烟雾经阳光照射会发生反应生成其他污染物，且这些污染物与当地污染混合后，健康风险会进一步加剧。 32. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke 答案：D 解析：文章开篇以加州野火为例，引出野火烟雾的危害，随后详细说明烟雾中含有的有害颗粒（如 PM2.5）、城市与林地野火烟雾的差异，以及烟雾经阳光作用后的变化等，核心均围绕 “野火烟雾的健康风险” 展开。A 项 “野火的成因”、B 项 “气候变化的影响” 文中未提及；C 项 “预防城市野火” 并非文章重点，故排除。 33. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 答案：A 解析：文中明确提到 “If they're smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter... they can get through our body's natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems”，即 PM2.5 的危险在于其能进入肺部引发健康问题。B 项 “传播距离远” 不是其危险的直接原因；C 项 “尺寸更大” 与事实相反（PM2.5 直径很小）；D 项 “仅来自火灾” 错误，文中提到机动车和工厂也会产生 PM2.5，故排除。 34. What's a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants D. Urban fires produce less smoke 答案：C 解析：文中指出 “A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas”，说明城市野火释放的污染物远多于林地野火。A 项 “城市火灾影响更多树木”、B 项 “城市火灾燃烧更少物质”、D 项 “城市火灾产生更少烟雾” 均与文意不符，故排除。 35. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. 答案：D 解析：文中提到 “over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants”，即烟雾经阳光照射会发生反应，形成其他污染物。A 项 “改变颜色”、B 项 “变得无害”、C 项 “迅速消失” 文中均未提及，故排除。 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。 I feel guilty every time I receive a new package on my doorstep. I know that buying more new things isn't good for the planet - the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. 36 Actually, the desire to keep buying things isn't just a personal imperfection -- it's actually part of how our brains evolved. Long ago, our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things, like moving toward food or backing away from dangers. 37 They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine (多巴胺), a feel-good chemical, whenever we do something good. Over time, we learn to repeat the actions that give us good feelings. 38 When we get an unexpected reward, our brains release even more dopamine. That's why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping. Over time, though, the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades. The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action. That's why we're constantly drawn to new things. 39 So, how do we break the cycle? The solution isn't to stop buying things completely. Instead, we can replace the old rewards with new rewards. Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack, we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet, 40 You still get something that is new to you, and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward, but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth. A. Our brains love surprises. B. Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice. C. Our brains long for that original unexpected joy. D. Today, our brains still work that way, but they're more complex. E. However, all humans are different, and our brains work differently F. Still, every time I make a purchase, l get a small burst of joy that's hard to resist. G. Creating social rewards can also encourage more people to change their behavior. 【文章大意】本文探讨了人们难以抗拒购物欲望的原因及应对方法。作者提到，购买新物品对地球不利（家庭用品的生产和使用导致 60% 的温室气体排放），但人们仍易被购物的愉悦感吸引，这与大脑的进化机制有关：祖先通过重复带来愉悦感的行为生存，如今大脑仍会因奖励（如购物）释放多巴胺，尤其对意外奖励反应更强烈。然而，重复购物的愉悦感会减弱，促使人们不断追求新物品。打破这一循环的方法不是完全停止购物，而是用新方式替代，例如购买二手物品，既满足对 “新事物” 的渴望，又减少对地球资源的消耗。 36. 答案：F 解析：前文提到 “购买新物品对地球不好”，后文转折说明 “购物欲望与大脑进化有关”，此处需要一个过渡句，体现 “明知不好却仍难以抗拒购物的愉悦感”。F 项 “Still, every time I make a purchase, I get a small burst of joy that's hard to resist”（然而，每次购物时，我仍会感到一阵难以抗拒的愉悦）符合逻辑，既承接前文的 “guilty”，又引出后文对 “愉悦感来源” 的解释。 37. 答案：D 解析：前文讲 “祖先通过重复带来愉悦感的行为生存”，后文提到 “大脑释放多巴胺强化奖励行为”，此处需衔接 “过去与现在大脑机制的联系”。D 项 “Today, our brains still work that way, but they're more complex”（如今，我们的大脑仍以这种方式运作，但更复杂）既呼应祖先的大脑机制，又引出当下大脑的运作模式，符合语境。 38. 答案：A 解析：后文提到 “意外奖励会让大脑释放更多多巴胺，购物时发现意外物品会兴奋”，核心是 “意外奖励” 对大脑的影响。A 项 “Our brains love surprises”（我们的大脑喜欢惊喜）概括了这一内容，是后文的总起句。 39.答案：C 解析：前文指出 “重复购物的多巴胺分泌减少，所以人们不断追求新事物”，此处需解释 “追求新事物的原因”。C 项 “Our brains long for that original unexpected joy”（大脑渴望最初那种意外的愉悦感）承接前文 “愉悦感减弱”，说明追求新事物是为了找回最初的感觉，逻辑连贯。 40. 答案：B 解析：前文提到 “用新方式替代购物，既满足欲望又不伤害地球”，后文说明 “仍能获得‘新事物’的愉悦感，且无需消耗更多地球资源”。B 项 “Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice”（购买二手物品是明智且恰当的选择）符合语境，二手物品对个人而言是 “新的”，又能减少资源消耗，呼应前后文的解决方案。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Do you 41 that old saying? Probably not, because you know words can sometimes hurt more than a 42 arm. The words we speak show how we feel, and unkind words hurt both the person who 43 and the person who says them. On the other hand, kind words encourage others and 44 the people who say them. If you become a good 45 , you’ll win more friends. You’ll 46 your teachers and parents, and you’ll even have a better 47 of getting a job in an interview. It makes sense to learn to communicate clearly and 48 . If you throw a stone into the ocean, the stone comes back to you. Words are 49 that. What you throw out comes back to you. It’s 50 that sometimes people won't answer your kind words with kindness. But over the long run, if you communicate kindness, you'll attract kind words in 51 . We communicate in more than just words. Any 52 you make with your body, any sound that comes out of your mouth, the expression you 53 , and even the thoughts you have can 54 a message to someone. Therefore, it’s vital to master the art of communication, which builds positive connections and creates a wave of kindness that 55 our lives and the lives of others. 41.

Previously；64. engagement；65. highlighting 56. to take 解析：考查非谓语动词。“be determined to do sth” 为固定搭配，意为 “决心做某事”，故填 to take。 57. than 解析：考查固定搭配。“rather than” 为固定短语，意为 “而不是”，此处表示 “现代古籍保护者决心利用这些古老藏书，而不是让它们积灰”，故填 than。 58. announced 解析：考查时态。根据上下文语境（如 “On Friday” 及整体叙事时态），此处描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，故填 announced。 59. which 解析：考查定语从句。空格前为逗号，引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为 “the Chinese Ancient Book Database”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故填 which。 60. the 解析：考查冠词。“the 115th anniversary” 表示 “第 115 周年纪念日”，序数词前需用定冠词 the，故填 the。 61. published 解析：考查过去分词。此处指 “1171 年出版的《史记》印刷版”，publish 与print之间是被动、完成的含义，故填过去分词作定语。 62. earliest 解析：考查形容词最高级。根据句意 “已知最早的传统中医书籍”，此处需用形容词最高级，故填 earliest。 63. Previously 解析：考查副词。此处修饰整个句子 “researchers had to visit library in Beijing”，需用副词形式，故填 Previously（注意首字母大写）。 64. engagement 解析：考查名词。“public” 为形容词，后接名词，“engage” 的名词形式为 “engagement”，表示 “参与”，故填 engagement。 65. highlighting 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构，主句主谓完整（“nearly 39%... have referred to the database”），此处为非谓语动词作结果状语，“highlight” 与逻辑主语 “39% of academic papers... have referred to the database” 为主动关系，故填 highlighting。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假设你是李华。你的英国朋友Tom在你校微信公众号英语专栏看到了“我的梦想”的专题活动发来邮件询问你的梦想。请你用英语回复他，内容包括: 1.你的梦想是什么; 2.你选择该梦想的理由; 3.你如何实现你的梦想。 注意: 1.词数80左右; 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计人总词数。 Dear Tom, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Lihua 解题思路 明确写作对象与情境：以李华的身份给英国朋友 Tom 回信，回应对方关于 “我的梦想” 的询问，需用简洁、自然的英语表达，符合朋友间的交流语气。 覆盖核心内容： (1) 点明自己的梦想（如职业理想、个人目标等，选择具体且易展开的内容，如成为环保工程师、教师等）。 (2) 阐述选择该梦想的理由（可结合个人经历、社会意义等，使理由真实可信）。 说明实现梦想的计划（分步骤或具体行动，体现可行性）。 (3) 注意格式与字数：开头和结尾已给出，中间正文约 100 词，需简洁明了，避免冗余。 Dear Tom, Thanks for asking about my dream. I’ve always wanted to be an environmental engineer. The reason is simple: I once saw the harm of pollution to a river near my hometown, and I hope to help repair such damage. To make this come true, I’m working hard on science and math at school, as they’re basic for engineering. I also read books on environmental protection in my free time and volunteer to clean up parks on weekends to learn more about practical work. I know it won’t be easy, but I’ll keep trying. What about your dream? Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分 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。 Due to my unhealthy eating habits, I became fatter and fatter after college. My good friend Anoush was a running enthusiast. So he advised me to lose weight by running and he promised to accompany me to run. Seven years later, I got more serious about running. And I dreamed to participate in Boston Marathon. Anoush wanted to attend the same marathon with me. Every day we spared our time to practise hard, during which time Anoush gave me much professional guidance and encouragement. And then one day, both of us qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon. We were excited but unfortunately, several weeks before the marathon, we had a serious quarrel. I didn't talk with him anymore. The day came. Anoush and I stood at the starting line. He said, “Good luck! You will certainly finish the marathon." Hearing his words, I looked at him, saying, “It’s none of your business. Then we started running. Soon, I passed Anoush. But I struggled in the heat starting at mile 16. I felt most of my oxygen went to the muscle in my legs and less in my brain, which made me feel a bit light-headed and dizzy(眩晕的). I continually encouraged myself, “Just get to the finish, run bold, and you will win.” But all phrases that I say to myself didn’t work Gradually I felt out of breath and had to slow down my pace. As I ran down the famous last stretch of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, I fell down on the ground. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答 Just then, I felt that someone picked me up.__________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Anoush and I crossed the finish line, the audience at present applauded.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 解题思路 (1)把握情节线索：原文围绕 “我” 和朋友 Anoush 因跑步结缘、共同备战马拉松，却因争吵产生隔阂，最终 “我” 在比赛中体力不支摔倒展开。续写需延续 “冲突 — 和解 — 圆梦” 的主线。 (2) 紧扣人物关系：Anoush 是一直支持 “我” 的朋友，即便争吵，其善良底色不变。因此，扶起 “我” 的人必然是 Anoush，这一设定能推动两人和解。 突出情感变化：从 “我” 摔倒后的绝望，到被 Anoush 扶起时的愧疚与感动，再到共同冲线后的释然，需通过动作、语言、心理描写体现情感递进。 (3) 呼应主题：强调友谊的珍贵与共同追梦的意义，使结尾升华主题。 Just then, I felt that someone picked me up. Opening my blurred eyes, I was astonished to see Anoush, whose face was covered with sweat but eyes were filled with concern. "Come on, we promised to finish it together, didn't we?" he said, his voice firm yet gentle. Ashamed of my rudeness earlier, I could only nod, my throat tight with emotion. He put my arm around his shoulder and helped me stand steady. "Take it slow," he whispered, "I'll stay with you." Step by step, we moved forward, his support giving me the strength to drag my exhausted legs. The heat seemed less unbearable, and the crowd's cheers sounded like encouragement for our reunion. When Anoush and I crossed the finish line, the audience at present applauded. Leaning on each other, we collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath but smiling from ear to ear. "I'm sorry for what I said before," I mumbled, avoiding his gaze. He patted my back, laughing, "Forget it. The real victory isn't speed, but finishing side by side." As we hugged tightly, I realized that the marathon had never been just about running—it was about the friendship that had kept me going. That day, we didn't just cross a finish line; we rebuilt a bond stronger than ever. 资阳市英语试题 第18页 共18页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是资阳市2024至2025学年度高中二年级第二学期期末质量检测英语听力部分。该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上请看听力理解部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Text one although the manager didn't approve her project, Linda is still pushing ahead.

In 2022, Kail received a photo album from one of his 200,000 online followers. It contained photographs of the killings of Chinese civilians by Japanese troops during World War 1l. Kail realized that these could be evidence of war crimes, He posted a TikTok video featuring images from the album, hoping to find a museum that would like to examine them. The video went popular within hours and received over 25 million views in a week. Many Chinese viewers expressed their thanks to him. However, his decision not to publish or sell the photographs of the kilings later caused a wild storm of online hate against him. Some people accused him of making the whole thing up and trying to get famous. He even receives serious life threats. Despite physical danger and emotional suffering, Kail was determined to give the album to China. He eventually donated it to the Consulate General (总领事馆) of China in Chicago. In response, he received a gift. It was a beautiful porcelain tea jar along with a letter thanking him for his contribution. The tea jar was present at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala as well.

Brave and determined C On the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) of northern China, around 40 million people still live in traditional caves called yaodong, combining perfectly with the region's unique landscape. These cave houses are built with vaulted (有拱顶的) rooms and thick earthen walls. The entrances are decorated with beautiful wooden windows. Inside, you'll find large, heated beds known as the kang which provide warmth during cold winters. Small tunnels connect the rooms, creating a comfortable living space. The design of yaodong is closely tied to the environment of the Loess Plateau. The region has a dry climate with strong winds, making above-ground houses less practical. By contrast, yaodong are built into the earth, offering protection from bad weather. The soil in this area is thick and fine, making it easy to dig while providing strong support for the structure. This natural material also acts as excellent insulation, keeping the homes cool in summer and warm in winter. Additionally, because wood and other building materials are little, yaodong are a low-cost and sustainable choice for the local people. Yaodong come in different forms, each adapted to the local landscape. One type is the cliff-side yaodong (靠崖式窑洞), which is carved directly into the hill-sides. These homes have open fronts that allow natural light and air to flow in. Another type is the sunken yaodong (下沉式密洞), which is built by digging a large rectangular pit (矩形坑) into the ground. Rooms are then carved into the walls of the pit, creating an underground courtyard. This design provides extra insulation and privacy. Finally, there are stand-alone yaodong, which are built above ground using materials like earth, stone and mud. These houses are common in areas where digging into the earth is not possible. 28. Which paragraph is mainly about the structure of yaodong? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 29. What does the underlined word “insulation" refer to in the text? A. A material to make rooms cooler. B. A material to make rooms warmer. C. A material to stop heat getting in and out. D. A material to prevent water coming in. 30. What do we know about the sunken yaodong? A. It has an open front yard. B. It stands on strong stones. C. It is dug directly into the hill-sides. D. It is built under the ground. 31. What can we learn from this text? A. We should be at one with nature. B. We should live in low-cost houses. C. We should make the most of space. D. We should build more yangdong for people. D Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO,, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒). Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they're smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body's natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It's also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned, Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 32. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke 33. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B.

I know that buying more new things isn't good for the planet - the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. 36 Actually, the desire to keep buying things isn't just a personal imperfection -- it's actually part of how our brains evolved. Long ago, our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things, like moving toward food or backing away from dangers. 37 They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine (多巴胺), a feel-good chemical, whenever we do something good. Over time, we learn to repeat the actions that give us good feelings. 38 When we get an unexpected reward, our brains release even more dopamine. That's why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping. Over time, though, the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades. The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action. That's why we're constantly drawn to new things. 39 So, how do we break the cycle? The solution isn't to stop buying things completely. Instead, we can replace the old rewards with new rewards. Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack, we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet, 40 You still get something that is new to you, and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward, but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth. A. Our brains love surprises. B. Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice. C. Our brains long for that original unexpected joy. D. Today, our brains still work that way, but they're more complex. E. However, all humans are different, and our brains work differently F. Still, every time I make a purchase, l get a small burst of joy that's hard to resist. G. Creating social rewards can also encourage more people to change their behavior. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Do you 41 that old saying?

My good friend Anoush was a running enthusiast. So he advised me to lose weight by running and he promised to accompany me to run. Seven years later, I got more serious about running. And I dreamed to participate in Boston Marathon. Anoush wanted to attend the same marathon with me. Every day we spared our time to practise hard, during which time Anoush gave me much professional guidance and encouragement. And then one day, both of us qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon. We were excited but unfortunately, several weeks before the marathon, we had a serious quarrel. I didn't talk with him anymore. The day came. Anoush and I stood at the starting line. He said, “Good luck! You will certainly finish the marathon." Hearing his words, I looked at him, saying, “It’s none of your business. Then we started running. Soon, I passed Anoush. But I struggled in the heat starting at mile 16. I felt most of my oxygen went to the muscle in my legs and less in my brain, which made me feel a bit light-headed and dizzy(眩晕的). I continually encouraged myself, “Just get to the finish, run bold, and you will win.” But all phrases that I say to myself didn’t work Gradually I felt out of breath and had to slow down my pace. As I ran down the famous last stretch of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, I fell down on the ground. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答 Just then, I felt that someone picked me up.__________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Anoush and I crossed the finish line, the audience at present applauded.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 资阳市英语试题 第9页 共11页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
