Here are some places for you to explore. Zermatt Zermatt has been car-free for decades to prevent pollution. It’s an all-season adventure-lovers’ playground attracting visitors from around the globe. In the summer months, ski teams train at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Europe’s largest and highest ski region. In addition to access to extensive outdoor activities, there are plenty of relaxing events like wandering along Zermatt’s Bahnhofstrasse. Saas-Fee You’ll find Switzerland’s highest mountain, the Dom, climbing above Saas-Fee, which has always been free of cars. During the warmer months, visitors travel on the designed-for-wandering streets, and hikers walk with pieces of carrot stuffed in their pockets. Take the cable car (缆车) to the Mittelallalin and visit the world’s highest revolving (旋转) restaurant, Allalin, which turns 360°every hour. Mürren Located above the Lauterbrunnen valley, tiny car-free Mürren attracts outdoor enthusiasts — it’s home to Switzerland’s first ski school — as well as fans of James Bond. Scenes from the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service were filmed at the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn high above Mürren. Spy World, an interactive exhibition about the 007 movie, and the Skyline View platform are a few other attractions. Rigi Located in central Switzerland, near Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, Rigi has been attracting visitors since the 18th century. Known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, Rigi has hosted Queen Victoria, painter William Turner, and Mark Twain. The Blue Rigi, Sunrise painted by William Turner, was acquired by the Tate Gallery. Cars are not allowed on the mountain. Visitors usually reach there by train or cable car. 1. What can visitors do in Saas-Fee? A. Enjoy skiing all year round. B. View the scenery on a platform. C. Admire paintings by William Turner. D. Dine in the highest revolving restaurant. 2. Which destination will probably attract a film enthusiast? A Zermatt. B. Saas-Fee. C. Mürren. D. Rigi. 3. What do the four regions have in common? A. They are car-free zones. B. They provide interactive events. C. They are friendly to hikers. D. They host famous celebrities. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了瑞士四个适合度假的无车地区及其特色活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Saas-Fee部分中“Take the cable car (缆车) to the Mittelallalin and visit the world’s highest revolving (旋转) restaurant, Allalin, which turns 360°every hour. (乘坐缆车前往米特拉拉灵山，参观世界上最高的旋转餐厅Allalin，该餐厅每小时旋转360度）可知，游客可以在Saas-Fee的最高旋转餐厅用餐。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mürren部分中“Scenes from the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service were filmed at the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn high above Mürren. Spy World, an interactive exhibition about the 007 movie, and the Skyline View platform are a few other attractions. (电影《女王密使》中的场景是在Mürren上方的Schilthorn旋转餐厅拍摄的。Spy World是一个关于007电影的互动展览，Skyline View平台是其他一些景点)”可知，Mürren有与电影相关的景点和展览，因此可能会吸引电影爱好者。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章对四个地区的描述，第二段中“Zermatt has been car-free for decades to prevent pollution. (几十年来一直禁止汽车通行，以防止污染)”、第三段中“You’ll find Switzerland’s highest mountain, the Dom, climbing above Saas-Fee, which has always been free of cars. (你会发现瑞士最高的山峰 —— 多姆峰，耸立在Saas-Fee之上，而Saas-Fee一直禁止汽车通行)”、第四段中“Located above the Lauterbrunnen valley, tiny car-free Mürren attracts outdoor enthusiasts — it’s home to Switzerland’s first ski school—as well as fans of James Bond. (Mürren坐落于Lauterbrunnen山谷之上，小巧玲珑且禁止车辆通行，这里不仅是瑞士第一所滑雪学校的所在地，吸引着众多户外爱好者，还深受詹姆斯・邦德 (007) 粉丝的喜爱)”和最后一段中“Cars are not allowed on the mountain. (山上不允许汽车通行)”可知，这四个地区的共同点都是无车区。故选A。 B Felicia Ludwig, a 37-year-old data expert from Maryland, started Maryland Fossil Finders, an organization aiming to teach people how to search for fossils in September 2024. Her journey began in 2017 when she found a 30-million-year-old stingray (红鱼) mouth part on Matoaka Beach. Maryland has grown into an important place for fossil findings because of its special earth history. In 2023, major discoveries included 150-million-year-old dinosaur bones near Laure l and a 12-million-year-old whale head bone in Calvert County. The state’s fossils from the Miocene period (5 — 23 million years ago) are very common, with shark teeth appearing in large numbers. Scientists explain this happens because sharks naturally lose more than 10,000 teeth during their lives. About 15million years back, the land west of Highway 95 and south to Richmond lay under sea waters. The organization works on making things accessible and teaching others. They provide free internet courses and beach tours led by experts. To help different learners, they offer language helpers for Spanish speakers and those with hearing difficulties, plus special wheelchairs for beach use. In 2024, three successful events were held, including one where Diane Bowlby, a 63-year-old yoga instructor, collected multiple shark teeth. Four additional activities were set for spring 2025. Yet problems remain, such as skilled fossil hunters not sharing knowledge, laws limiting where people can collect fossils, and beginners accidentally harming fossil samples. Science experts advise reporting important discoveries, like the 5-inch huge shark tooth a 9-year-old found in 2024, to places like the Calvert Marine Museum for detailed study. The group has 127 official members and keeps growing. Maryland’s nature protection department will announce new fossil hunting rules soon to better manage legal and environmental protection issues. 4. What motivated Felicia Ludwig to launch the organization? A. Working as a data expert in Maryland. B. Spotting a 30-million-year-old fossil. C. Exploring the fish teeth evolution. D. Finding dinosaur bones in Laurel. 5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Illustrate Maryland’s distinctive earth history. B. Describe recent evidence of ancient remains. C. Explain the inland presence of marine fossils. D. Compare fossil findings from different periods. 6. Which best describes Maryland Fossil Finders? A. Inspiring and competitive. B. Inclusive and educational. C. Sustainable and professional. D. Conventional and informative. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce the development of fossil hunting. B. To highlight scientific values of marine fossils. C. To advocate the better protection of fossil sites. D. To promote public interest in fossil discovery. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Felicia Ludwig创立的Maryland Fossil Finders组织，包括其成立背景、活动内容、面临的挑战以及未来发展等。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Her journey began in 2017 when she found a 30-million-year-old stingray (红鱼) mouth part on Matoaka Beach. (她的旅程始于2017年，当时她在Matoaka海滩发现了一个3000万年前的黄貂鱼嘴部化石)”可知，Felicia Ludwig是在发现了一个3000万年前的化石后，开始了她的化石探索之旅，并最终创立了Maryland Fossil Finders组织。由此可知，发现化石是促使她创立组织的动机。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Maryland has grown into an important place for fossil findings because of its special earth history. In 2023, major discoveries included 150-million-year-old dinosaur bones near Laure l and a 12-million-year-old whale head bone in Calvert County. The state’s fossils from the Miocene period (5 — 23 million years ago) are very common, with shark teeth appearing in large numbers. Scientists explain this happens because sharks naturally lose more than 10,000 teeth during their lives. About 15million years back, the land west of Highway 95 and south to Richmond lay under sea waters. (由于其特殊的地质历史，马里兰州已经成为化石发现的重要地点。2023年，主要发现包括在Laurel附近发现的1.5亿年前的恐龙骨骼和在卡尔弗特县发现的1200万年前的鲸鱼头骨。该州中新世 (500万至2300万年前) 的化石非常常见，其中鲨鱼牙齿数量众多。科学家解释说，这是因为鲨鱼在一生中自然脱落的牙齿超过1万颗。大约1500万年前，95号公路以西、南至里士满的土地都位于海水之下)”可知，本段主要描述了马里兰州近年来发现的一些重要的古代遗迹化石，如恐龙骨骼和鲸鱼头骨等。这些内容都是为了说明马里兰州独特的地球历史。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The organization works on making things accessible and teaching others.

A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint. Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study. These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks, and asphalt (沥青) in and around busy intersections. Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians. The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative, which has issued funds to 41 U. S. cities and three European cities. This study focused on some of these projects, and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer. Sadik-Khan, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts. The project had a positive effect on travel times, increased pedestrian activity, and even benefited businesses in the area. Now, such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits. Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars. A few cost even hundreds. They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively. But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work. They’ll give $25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects. With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects. 8. What do we know about road art projects? A. They need a great deal of money. B. They function permanently. C. They raise concern in drivers. D. They help drivers concentrate. 9. What does the underlined word “interventions” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Financial investment plans. B. Street painting projects. C. Traffic control regulations. D. Wall decoration practices. 10. What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative’s future strategy? A. It will expand despite mixed outcomes. B. It will replace traditional traffic methods. C. It will focus on suburban intersections next. D. It will prioritize European cities over US cities. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Bloomberg’s Initiative Transforms American Arts. B. Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities. C. Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety. D. Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全性，减少车祸，该项目成本低，虽部分城市效果不佳，但相关计划仍将扩展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians.(这些作品通常色彩鲜艳、难以被司机忽视，往往会促使司机减速、更加小心，并更加留意行人)”可知，道路艺术项目有助于司机集中注意力。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study.(根据这项研究，将艺术作品绘制在街道和交叉路口能够显著提高安全性，可将涉及汽车和行人的事故率降低多达50%，并将所有事故率降低17%)”可知，第三段中“interventions”指代前文提到的内容。第二段主要介绍“Art projects painted onto streets and intersections”（街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目），第三段承接上文，说明这些简单的“干预措施”被纳入相关计划，因此“interventions”指“街头彩绘项目”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively.(然而，这些举措并不会自动带来安全方面的改善。研究发现，在佐治亚州的亚特兰大和迪凯特市开展的沥青艺术项目与事故减少并无关联，事故率分别上升了41%和28%)”以及第六段“But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work.(但布隆伯格慈善基金会计划继续开展这项工作)”可知，尽管结果好坏参半，该计划仍将扩大实施。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Intersections are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint.(交叉路口是极其危险的地方，这里发生的车祸占所有车祸总数的一半以上。一项研究表明，解决这一公共健康危机的部分问题或许可以依靠一个简单而令人意想不到的工具。它并非新的交通信号灯或大型建筑，而是一桶油漆)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明，街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全性，减少车祸，该项目成本低，虽部分城市效果不佳，但相关计划仍将扩展。可知，D选项“成本效益高的街头艺术能确保城市道路更加安全”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D When seeing someone being kind or generous, we feel warm inside. Researchers call this “moral elevation (提升),” and it not only feels good but inspires us to do good ourselves. But how much does witnessing good affect us—and why? A new analysis of decades of research aimed to find out the answers. The results suggest that our acts of kindness and generosity, online or offline, can have meaningful ripple effects (连锁反应) in our communities. Researchers combined results from 88 studies involving over 25,000 participants to measure how much our own kindness increases after witnessing someone acting generously—for example, comforting someone crying, donating to charity, or acting cooperatively in a competitive game. In the studies, people would read about or see someone act in a kind way and then have the opportunity to be kind and generous themselves. The analysis showed a reasonably strong effect, where people witnessing kindness tended to act kindness themselves. “The message that the prosocial (亲社会的) behaviors are quite infectious is a really important message that people should know.” says the lead researcher, Haesung Jung. Interestingly, her analyses showed that it didn’t matter how people witnessed a kind act. They could have read about it, watched a TV show, or actually been present when someone helped others. It also doesn’t matter whether or not they saw someone giving material or non-material help. But there were factors that did affect how inspired people were to pay it forward. The more time that had passed since people saw a selfless act, the lower their motivation to help others. It also mattered what kind of response to the kindness people observed. If witnesses saw such people praised or even rewarded with money, they would have a greater likelihood to pay it forward themselves. The research is of great value for society—particularly now, when we need people to act in more prosocial ways. “In organizations, educational settings, and just everyday life, it’s important to highlight kindness, caring, and good social behavior,” says Jung. “Doing good has a much larger impact than people realize.” 12. What is the core nature of moral elevation? A The desire to help others directly. B. Online and off line community effects. C. Cooperation in taking generous actions. D. Positive impacts from observing kindness. 13. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By tracking witnesses’ behavior for decades. B. By interviewing subjects about their moral beliefs. C. By analyzing former studies about kindness increase. D. By comparing participants’ responses to being helped. 14. Who is more likely to pass on the kindness according to the text? A. A person reading stories of giving online. B. A person seeing kindness being recognized. C. A person noticing others offer non-material help. D A person experiencing a kind act a few years ago. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Challenges in maintaining consistent generosity. B. Approaches to studying prosocial behavior trends. C. Significance of encouraging prosocial acts in society. D. Necessity for educating the public to present kindness. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，目睹善举（无论方式、形式）会让人更愿行善，其受时间和对善举的回应影响，此研究对社会意义重大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers call this “moral elevation (提升),” and it not only feels good but inspires us to do good ourselves.( 研究人员称之为“道德提升”，它不仅让人感觉良好，还激励我们自己做好事。)”以及第二段中“The results suggest that our acts of kindness and generosity, online or offline, can have meaningful ripple effects (连锁反应) in our communities.( 研究结果表明，我们的善良和慷慨行为，无论是在线上还是线下，都能在我们的社区产生有意义的连锁反应。)”可知，“道德提升”指的是目睹善举后产生的积极影响，包括内心的温暖和行善的动力。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchers combined results from 88 studies involving over 25,000 participants to measure how much our own kindness increases after witnessing someone acting generously(研究人员综合了88项研究的结果，涉及25000多名参与者，以衡量在目睹某人的慷慨行为。)”可推知，研究人员通过分析 88 项过往研究的结果来开展这项研究。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“If witnesses saw such people praised or even rewarded with money, they would have a greater likelihood to pay it forward themselves.( 如果目击者看到这样的人受到表扬，甚至得到金钱奖励，他们更有可能把自己的爱传递出去。)”，可推知，看到善举得到认可（表扬或奖励）的人更有可能传递善意。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容尤其是“The research is of great value for society—particularly now, when we need people to act in more prosocial ways.( 这项研究对社会有很大的价值，尤其是现在，当我们需要人们以更亲社会的方式行事的时候。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是在社会中鼓励亲社会行为的意义。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A. Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了欣赏诗歌的方法。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.(这首诗的节奏是加快还是放慢？这些变化往往反映了它的主题)” 可知，引出后文关于诗歌节奏变化的内容，因为单词组合流动的方式决定节奏，节奏变化又反映主题。E选项“注意单词是如何组合在一起流动的” 符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization.(它们的形式，包括押韵方案、诗节划分和行长，都有助于表达意义。结构严谨的诗歌可能唤起秩序感，而破碎的诗句可能反映混乱。不要忽视标点符号或大写字母)” 可知，承接前文，说明诗歌形式中的元素以及标点产生的影响。D选项“这些决定了你如何停顿和解读” 符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention.(理解 “讲述者” 可以阐明诗歌的意图)” 及“Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.(历史事件、个人经历或文化符号可能会影响它的意义)” 可知，承上启下，引出后文关于诗歌背景对其意义产生影响的内容，说明除了理解讲述者，背景对理解诗歌也很关键。B选项“背景也很重要” 符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 此空为段落小标题。根据下文“Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity—is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.(诗歌基于情感，没有“正确”的解读。你的反应 —— 无论是喜悦、悲伤还是好奇 —— 都是可以接受的。重新审视这首诗：每次阅读，其含义往往会发生变化。记录下它引发的问题，如果感兴趣，研究不熟悉的典故)” 可知，选项强调欣赏诗歌要跟随自己的情感，引出后文关于情感反应及重新审视诗歌等内容。A选项“让自己去感受” 符合语境，作为小标题概括该段内容，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.(相反，它是关于欣赏声音、意象和思想的相互作用，使诗歌永恒)” 可知，选项引出后文对欣赏诗歌真正意义的阐述，通过对比说明欣赏诗歌并非追求唯一正确答案，而是感受其各元素的相互作用。故G选项“这不像解开一个“秘密密码”” 符合语境，故选G。 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。 My grandmother, orphaned (成为孤儿) at 12, immigrated to Vienna and lived in an orphanage while working and attending school.

I stood at the bus stop, annoyed at myself for forgetting my umbrella. Just then, Maya - a quiet newcomer from our class - stepped under the small shelter. I’d always wanted to talk to her, but she seemed shy, often drawing in her notebook during class. “Hi,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Rain’s bad, right?” She looked a bit surprised, “Yeah, really bad.” The bus stop was tiny, and the rain was pouring sideways, making our skirts wet. I checked and found the bus was late. When I told Maya the bad news, she glanced at her watch, “If I miss this one, I might not make it home.” Hesitating for a while, she suggested, “We should wait in the store over there. Want to share my umbrella?” I nodded. She smiled and opened her purple umbrella. There were patches (补丁) on it as if someone had fixed it many times. “Sorry, it’s old,” she said. “My grandma gave it to me and purple was her favorite.” “It looks cool,” I replied. We leaned under the umbrella together. Suddenly it flipped (迅速翻转) inside out in the wind and we burst out laughing. When we reached the store, Maya shook off the umbrella and set it onto the stand by the door. Then she walked over, bought two hot chocolates, and handed me one. “My treat,” she said, wiping rain from her face. “For surviving the umbrella drama.” We sat by the window, enjoying drinks and watching the rain. After a pause, I decided to break the silence and asked why she was always drawing in her notebook during class. Her eyes lit up and she pulled it from her bag. “Want to see?” She flipped through a few pages, showing me her pictures inspired by small special things. “You make boring stuff magical,” I said admiringly. She laughed, and for a moment, it felt like we’d known each other longer than just one rainy afternoon. The rain stopped. A distant honk (喇叭声) made us look up. “The bus!” I shouted. We grabbed our things and ran like crazy. 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。 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” We’d left it at the store! My heart sank as I remembered. “I’ll go back for it after school,” I promised. Maya nodded, looking worried. After school, I hurried to the store and found the umbrella right where we’d left it, safe and sound. Without hesitation, I picked it up and went home, expecting to see Maya the next day. The next day, I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya. “Here it is,” I said, smiling. “I promised I’d bring it back, didn’t I?” Maya’s face lit up with relief as she clutched it tightly. Maya’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. “Thank you,” she whispered. From that day on, our friendship blossomed. We did everything that close friends did. We often shared laughters and secrets, just like we had on that rainy Tuesday, all thanks to a purple umbrella and a promise kept. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开。在一个雨天，“我”忘记带伞在公交站等车，此时班里安静的新同学玛雅也来到站台避雨，“我”想和她聊天，随后两人因公交车晚点，决定去附近商店避雨，在避雨过程中两人分享热巧克力，交流彼此，增进了友谊，最后雨停两人匆忙赶车却把玛雅的伞落在了商店。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我们一坐下，玛雅就小声说：‘等等……我的伞呢？’”可知，第一段可以描写两人发现伞落在商店后的反应以及作者找回伞的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“第二天，我走进教室，把伞递给了玛雅。”可知，第二段可以描写玛雅收到伞后的反应以及两人友谊的增进。 2.续写线索： 发现伞落下了——感到担忧——找回伞——归还伞——表达感谢——友谊增进 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回去：go back/return ②抓紧：clutch/grasp ③繁荣：blossom/flourish 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/anxious ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Without hesitation, I picked it up and went home, expecting to see Maya the next day.（运用了分词作状语） 【高分句型2】After school, I hurried to the store and found the umbrella right where we’d left it, safe and sound.（运用了where引导地点状语从句） 第五部分 口语交际(10分) 试题及评分标准由学校备课组根据学生的情况自定。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 厦门市2024—2025学年第二学期高二年级质量检测 英语试题 本试卷共12页，考试时长120分钟，满分150分。 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2.答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Here are some places for you to explore. Zermatt Zermatt has been car-free for decades to prevent pollution. It’s an all-season adventure-lovers’ playground attracting visitors from around the globe. In the summer months, ski teams train at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Europe’s largest and highest ski region. In addition to access to extensive outdoor activities, there are plenty of relaxing events like wandering along Zermatt’s Bahnhofstrasse. Saas-Fee You’ll find Switzerland’s highest mountain, the Dom, climbing above Saas-Fee, which has always been free of cars. During the warmer months, visitors travel on the designed-for-wandering streets, and hikers walk with pieces of carrot stuffed in their pockets. Take the cable car (缆车) to the Mittelallalin and visit the world’s highest revolving (旋转) restaurant, Allalin, which turns 360°every hour. Mürren Located above the Lauterbrunnen valley, tiny car-free Mürren attracts outdoor enthusiasts — it’s home to Switzerland’s first ski school — as well as fans of James Bond. Scenes from the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service were filmed at the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn high above Mürren. Spy World, an interactive exhibition about the 007 movie, and the Skyline View platform are a few other attractions. Rigi Located in central Switzerland, near Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, Rigi has been attracting visitors since the 18th century. Known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, Rigi has hosted Queen Victoria, painter William Turner, and Mark Twain. The Blue Rigi, Sunrise painted by William Turner, was acquired by the Tate Gallery. Cars are not allowed on the mountain. Visitors usually reach there by train or cable car. 1. What can visitors do in Saas-Fee? A. Enjoy skiing all year round. B. View the scenery on a platform. C.

B Felicia Ludwig, a 37-year-old data expert from Maryland, started Maryland Fossil Finders, an organization aiming to teach people how to search for fossils in September 2024. Her journey began in 2017 when she found a 30-million-year-old stingray (红鱼) mouth part on Matoaka Beach. Maryland has grown into an important place for fossil findings because of its special earth history. In 2023, major discoveries included 150-million-year-old dinosaur bones near Laure l and a 12-million-year-old whale head bone in Calvert County. The state’s fossils from the Miocene period (5 — 23 million years ago) are very common, with shark teeth appearing in large numbers. Scientists explain this happens because sharks naturally lose more than 10,000 teeth during their lives. About 15million years back, the land west of Highway 95 and south to Richmond lay under sea waters. The organization works on making things accessible and teaching others. They provide free internet courses and beach tours led by experts. To help different learners, they offer language helpers for Spanish speakers and those with hearing difficulties, plus special wheelchairs for beach use. In 2024, three successful events were held, including one where Diane Bowlby, a 63-year-old yoga instructor, collected multiple shark teeth. Four additional activities were set for spring 2025. Yet problems remain, such as skilled fossil hunters not sharing knowledge, laws limiting where people can collect fossils, and beginners accidentally harming fossil samples. Science experts advise reporting important discoveries, like the 5-inch huge shark tooth a 9-year-old found in 2024, to places like the Calvert Marine Museum for detailed study. The group has 127 official members and keeps growing. Maryland’s nature protection department will announce new fossil hunting rules soon to better manage legal and environmental protection issues. 4. What motivated Felicia Ludwig to launch the organization? A. Working as a data expert in Maryland. B. Spotting a 30-million-year-old fossil. C. Exploring the fish teeth evolution. D. Finding dinosaur bones in Laurel. 5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Illustrate Maryland’s distinctive earth history. B. Describe recent evidence of ancient remains. C. Explain the inland presence of marine fossils. D. Compare fossil findings from different periods. 6. Which best describes Maryland Fossil Finders? A. Inspiring and competitive. B. Inclusive and educational. C. Sustainable and professional. D. Conventional and informative. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce the development of fossil hunting. B. To highlight scientific values of marine fossils. C. To advocate the better protection of fossil sites. D. To promote public interest in fossil discovery. C Intersections are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint. Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study. These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks, and asphalt (沥青) in and around busy intersections. Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians. The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative, which has issued funds to 41 U. S. cities and three European cities. This study focused on some of these projects, and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer. Sadik-Khan, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts. The project had a positive effect on travel times, increased pedestrian activity, and even benefited businesses in the area. Now, such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits. Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars. A few cost even hundreds. They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively. But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work. They’ll give $25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects. With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects. 8. What do we know about road art projects? A. They need a great deal of money. B. They function permanently. C. They raise concern in drivers. D. They help drivers concentrate. 9 What does the underlined word “interventions” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Financial investment plans. B. Street painting projects. C. Traffic control regulations. D. Wall decoration practices. 10. What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative’s future strategy? A. It will expand despite mixed outcomes. B. It will replace traditional traffic methods. C. It will focus on suburban intersections next. D. It will prioritize European cities over US cities. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Bloomberg’s Initiative Transforms American Arts. B. Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities. C. Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety. D. Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads. D When seeing someone being kind or generous, we feel warm inside. Researchers call this “moral elevation (提升),” and it not only feels good but inspires us to do good ourselves. But how much does witnessing good affect us—and why? A new analysis of decades of research aimed to find out the answers. The results suggest that our acts of kindness and generosity, online or offline, can have meaningful ripple effects (连锁反应) in our communities. Researchers combined results from 88 studies involving over 25,000 participants to measure how much our own kindness increases after witnessing someone acting generously—for example, comforting someone crying, donating to charity, or acting cooperatively in a competitive game. In the studies, people would read about or see someone act in a kind way and then have the opportunity to be kind and generous themselves. The analysis showed a reasonably strong effect, where people witnessing kindness tended to act kindness themselves. “The message that the prosocial (亲社会的) behaviors are quite infectious is a really important message that people should know.” says the lead researcher, Haesung Jung. Interestingly, her analyses showed that it didn’t matter how people witnessed a kind act. They could have read about it, watched a TV show, or actually been present when someone helped others. It also doesn’t matter whether or not they saw someone giving material or non-material help. But there were factors that did affect how inspired people were to pay it forward. The more time that had passed since people saw a selfless act, the lower their motivation to help others. It also mattered what kind of response to the kindness people observed. If witnesses saw such people praised or even rewarded with money, they would have a greater likelihood to pay it forward themselves. The research is of great value for society—particularly now, when we need people to act in more prosocial ways. “In organizations, educational settings, and just everyday life, it’s important to highlight kindness, caring, and good social behavior,” says Jung. “Doing good has a much larger impact than people realize.” 12. What is the core nature of moral elevation? A. The desire to help others directly. B. Online and off line community effects. C. Cooperation in taking generous actions. D. Positive impacts from observing kindness. 13. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By tracking witnesses’ behavior for decades. B. By interviewing subjects about their moral beliefs. C. By analyzing former studies about kindness increase. D. By comparing participants’ responses to being helped. 14. Who is more likely to pass on the kindness according to the text? A. A person reading stories of giving online. B. A person seeing kindness being recognized. C. A person noticing others offer non-material help. D. A person experiencing a kind act a few years ago. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Challenges in maintaining consistent generosity. B. Approaches to studying prosocial behavior trends. C. Significance of encouraging prosocial acts in society. D. Necessity for educating the public to present kindness. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A. Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 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。 My grandmother, orphaned (成为孤儿) at 12, immigrated to Vienna and lived in an orphanage while working and attending school.

I stood at the bus stop, annoyed at myself for forgetting my umbrella. Just then, Maya - a quiet newcomer from our class - stepped under the small shelter. I’d always wanted to talk to her, but she seemed shy, often drawing in her notebook during class. “Hi,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Rain’s bad, right?” She looked a bit surprised, “Yeah, really bad.” The bus stop was tiny, and the rain was pouring sideways, making our skirts wet. I checked and found the bus was late. When I told Maya the bad news, she glanced at her watch, “If I miss this one, I might not make it home.” Hesitating for a while, she suggested, “We should wait in the store over there. Want to share my umbrella?” I nodded. She smiled and opened her purple umbrella. There were patches (补丁) on it as if someone had fixed it many times. “Sorry, it’s old,” she said. “My grandma gave it to me and purple was her favorite.” “It looks cool,” I replied. We leaned under the umbrella together. Suddenly it flipped (迅速翻转) inside out in the wind and we burst out laughing. When we reached the store, Maya shook off the umbrella and set it onto the stand by the door. Then she walked over, bought two hot chocolates, and handed me one. “My treat,” she said, wiping rain from her face. “For surviving the umbrella drama.” We sat by the window, enjoying drinks and watching the rain. After a pause, I decided to break the silence and asked why she was always drawing in her notebook during class. Her eyes lit up and she pulled it from her bag. “Want to see?” She flipped through a few pages, showing me her pictures inspired by small special things. “You make boring stuff magical,” I said admiringly. She laughed, and for a moment, it felt like we’d known each other longer than just one rainy afternoon. The rain stopped. A distant honk (喇叭声) made us look up. “The bus!” I shouted. We grabbed our things and ran like crazy. 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。 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第五部分 口语交际(10分) 试题及评分标准由学校备课组根据学生的情况自定。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
