I found it hanging in the window of a shop in Brighton, England. I was there to deliver a talk on modern women’s writing at an international conference, a PhD student eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life to start. I had just turned 28. I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back. She and I are one and the same, but we are also very different. There was a change that happened a few years into the five-year plan. Each time one goal post was reached, another took its place. This is the pattern of the overly ambitious. I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore. The jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe (衣橱). Seven years later, as I stand in front of my wardrobe filled with useless clothes, I don’t know what to do with the jacket. When England’s cold spread to my bones years earlier, the jacket had felt like a practical thing I bought. Here in Australia’s sunshine, it always felt a little silly. I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the other clothes I’ve decided to give away because they no longer make the cut. Yet, despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up, at the last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe. I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman. 4. What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2? A. Her taste in clothing. B. Her original dreams. C. Her character in her late 20s. D. Her family relationships. 5. What happened to the author in paragraph 3? A. She was proud of her success. B. She cared less about dressing. C. She started losing ambition. D. She seldom doubted her plan. 6. Why did the author keep the jacket? A. To encourage other women. B. To treasure her real self. C. To help her set goals. D. To help her keep warm. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与一件皮夹克之间的关系，夹克提醒作者自己的梦想和抱负，也提醒作者保留真实的自己。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I had just turned 28.(我刚刚满28岁)”和第二段“I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back.(我依然与那个女人紧密相连，无论是她的梦想还是她的抱负，尽管她同时也让我心生畏惧。这个身着皮夹克的女人向来意志坚定——她有着一份五年规划，并且始终坚定不移地朝着目标迈进！就是这个女人，她抽不出时间去看望祖母，总是错过侄子侄女们的生日派对，而且一旦离开便绝不回头)”可知，作者在第二段主要告诉我们她20多岁时的性格。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore.(我开始怀疑，这样做除了让自己在过程中坚定不移地舍弃其他一切之外，是否真的能带来任何实质性的成功。我的决心动摇了。我意识到，自己已不再渴望那些曾经追求的东西)”可知，作者开始失去野心。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman.(我想，它将永远代表着我内心深处那个不愿永远舍弃的自我——那个雄心勃勃、积极进取的女人)”可推知，作者保留这件夹克是为了珍惜真实的自己。故选B。 C On a peaceful summer morning, a field of popular trees sway (摇摆) in the wind, and insects buzz around. At first sight, the scene seems calm, but the trees are actually under attack. Insects are feeding on their leaves, and the trees are defending themselves. Though plants can’t run or hide, they have developed ways to fight back. When an insect begins to bite a leaf, the tree mounts defenses. It also quickly messages its neighbors: “We’re under attack! Get your defenses ready!” It even produces chemicals to repel (驱赶) the attackers and may attract other insects to help. These responses happen without us noticing,but scientists are discovering that plants can do things we once thought only animals could do. They communicate with each other, and form memories — all without a brain. Research has shown that plants can communicate in complex ways. In the 1980s, scientists discovered that injured trees could warn nearby trees of danger. When one tree was damaged, it made chemicals that sent a signal through the air to the others. This led to the idea of “talking” plants, opening up the field of plant communication. Plants can also learn and form memories. In one experiment, a plant called Mimosa pudica stopped reacting to harmless drops after repeated exposure. This suggests that plants can remember and adapt to their environment, even without a nervous system. These discoveries show plants are able to do far more than meets our eyes. But does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so. Others are not so sure. The problem may trace (追溯) to how we define words like “thinking” and “intelligence”. Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh, a plant biologist at the University of Washington, likes the term neurobiology (神经生物学). Technically, a plant lacks nerves. Still, it has a sensory system.But some scientists think the idea is a hard sell. After all, plants don’t have nervous systems.Even now, this idea raises questions. 7. How does a tree defend itself against an insect attack? A. By releasing chemicals. B. By turning to the sunshine. C. By forming memories. D. By using warm air currents. 8. Why is the plant Mimosa pudica mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To erase some doubts. B. To support an opinion. C. To praise researchers. D. To make a comparison. 9. What can we infer about these discoveries? A. They lack conclusive proof. B. They fuel a big debate in biology. C. They share little common ground. D. They inspire ideas about human health. 10. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Is Wildlife Sensitive? B. How Do Nervous Systems Work? C. Are Plants Intelligent? D. How Do Trees Survive Hot Weather? 【答案】7. A 8. B 9. B 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了植物在受到昆虫攻击时的自我防御方式，以及植物能够相互交流、学习和形成记忆等现象，由此引出关于植物是否有智慧的讨论。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also quickly messages its neighbors: “We’re under attack! Get your defenses ready!” It even produces chemicals to repel (驱赶) the attackers and may attract other insects to help. (它还会迅速给它的邻居传递信息：“我们正受到攻击！做好防御准备！”它甚至会产生化学物质来驱赶攻击者，并且可能会吸引其他昆虫来帮忙。)”可知，当树木受到昆虫攻击时，它甚至会产生化学物质来驱赶攻击者，所以树木通过释放化学物质来抵御昆虫的攻击。故选A项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段首句“Plants can also learn and form memories. (植物也能够学习并形成记忆。)”可知，该段的主旨是植物也可以学习和形成记忆。接着提到了含羞草的例子，“In one experiment, a plant called Mimosa pudica stopped reacting to harmless drops after repeated exposure. This suggests that plants can remember and adapt to their environment, even without a nervous system. (在一个实验中，一种叫做含羞草的植物在反复接触无害的水滴后，不再对其做出反应。这表明植物能够记住并适应它们的环境，即使没有神经系统。)”，通过含羞草在反复接触无害水滴后停止反应这一实验结果，表明植物可以记住并适应环境，即使没有神经系统。所以提到含羞草是为了支持“植物可以学习和形成记忆”这一观点。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so. Others are not so sure. The problem may trace (追溯) to how we define words like “thinking” and “intelligence”. Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh, a plant biologist at the University of Washington, likes the term neurobiology (神经生物学). Technically, a plant lacks nerves. Still, it has a sensory system. But some scientists think the idea is a hard sell. After all, plants don’t have nervous systems. Even now, this idea raises questions. (但这是否意味着植物是有智慧的呢？一些科学家是这么认为的。另一些科学家则不太确定。这个问题可能要追溯到我们如何定义像“思考”和“智慧”这样的词。华盛顿大学的植物生物学家伊丽莎白・范・沃尔肯伯格喜欢“神经生物学”这个术语。从技术层面讲，植物没有神经。不过，它有一个感觉系统。但一些科学家认为这个观点很难让人接受。毕竟，植物没有神经系统。即使是现在，这个观点也引发了一些问题。)”可知，对于植物是否有智慧这一问题，一些科学家认为是，而另一些科学家不确定，并且对于如何定义“思考”和“智慧”存在争议，关于植物是否有神经生物学方面的能力也存在不同看法。由此可推知，这些发现引发了生物学领域的一场大辩论。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。纵览全文，文章开篇描述了树木在受到昆虫攻击时自我防御以及与邻居的交流，接着介绍了植物能够相互交流、学习和形成记忆等现象，然后在最后一段引出关于植物是否有智慧的讨论。所以文章主要围绕植物是否有智慧展开。C项“Are Plants Intelligent? (植物有智慧吗？)”符合文章主旨，可作为最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner.

There is often a convincing inner voice that whispers to you to simply stay at home! ___12___. Your running friends will be looking forward to seeing you and will miss you if you do not show up. Become a better runner ___13___. Most clubs have coaches or trainers.

According to a fitness magazine, runners are known to be a friendly bunch! This offers a sense of belonging, and after a while, these new partners feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加入跑步俱乐部的几个好处。 【11题详解】 根据空前“Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner. They laugh and chat together as their running shoes rhythmically touch the pavement. (生活在城市中，你经常看到一群跑步者从一个角落出现。他们边跑边笑，边聊天，他们的跑鞋有节奏地触碰着人行道。)”及空后“Joining such a group club is great for runners. (加入这样的跑步团体对跑步者来说非常棒。)”可知，C项“这些跑步者通常是跑步俱乐部的成员”符合，起承前启后的作用。干扰项G项中的 this group of runners看似与空前的内容相关，但G项中的 protection与空前内容无关，可排除。故选C项。 【12题详解】 上文提到“When you run alone, it is harder to get out of the door and onto the pavement. (当你独自一人跑步时，更难走出家门，踏上人行道。)”可知，空前主要介绍一个人跑步会有很多阻碍，故该空应该是一个转折，该空应该谈及加入跑步俱乐部的益处，故F项“然而，成为跑步团体的一员会督促你参加跑步活动”符合。该空后也进一步介绍为什么身为团体的一员会有参加跑步活动的动力。故选F项。 【13题详解】 根据本段的小标题Become a better runner及空后“Trainers can assist you in setting a pace and establishing realistic and achievable goals, and train you to be the best runner you can be. A coach will develop variety in running routes and content, making the whole workout so enjoyable that you may perform better without even realizing how much distance you covered. (教练可以帮助你设定节奏，确立现实和可达成的目标，并训练你成为最好的跑者。教练会开发多样化的跑步路线和内容，使得整个锻炼过程如此愉快，以至于你可能会在不知不觉中表现得更好，甚至没有意识到自己跑了多少距离。)”可知，E项“在跟团跑步时，你可能会更快地完成你的个人目标”符合。故选E项。 【14题详解】 根据本段的关键信息“When you are part of a club, you can make friends with those sharing the same passion. According to a fitness magazine, runners are known to be a friendly bunch! This offers a sense of belonging, and after a while, these new partners feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends. (当你成为俱乐部的一部分时，你可以与那些分享同样热情的人交朋友。根据一家健身杂志的说法，跑步者被认为是一个友好的群体！这提供了一种归属感，过一段时间后，这些新伙伴感觉就像一个温暖的家庭，可以成为终身的朋友。)”可知，A项“建立友谊”适合作本段的小标题。“友好”只是本段的一个小信息点，故干扰项B项可排除。故选A项。 【15题详解】 根据本段的小标题 Feel safe 及空前“When in a group, you will be reminded of possible dangers and if there is an accident, people are there to help you. (当在一个团队中时，你会被提醒可能存在的危险，如果发生事故，会有人在那里帮助你。)”可知，D项“这绝对可以给你一种安全感”符合。D项中的 This指代空前的一整句话。故选D项。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A month ago today I stood there: 90 degrees south, the top of the bottom of the world.

With language-learning apps powered by AI, we can access a large amount of resources, from pronunciation correction to real-time translation. It helps learners study at their own pace and track progress effectively. Yet, AI might reduce creativity in writing if students copy AI-generated answers blindly. Moreover, the lack of emotional understanding in AI could limit cultural learning. My advice is to use AI as a supplement. Balance app-based listening exercises with group discussions to improve fluency. When writing essays, brainstorm ideas independently before seeking AI polishing. Stay curious and critical — technology is a tool, but your effort shapes success! 范文2 AI and English Learning With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), it has become an effective tool for enhancing English learning. AI can provide personalized learning experiences, helping students improve their pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar through interactive platforms. It also offers instant feedback, making learning more efficient and accessible. However, there are some potential issues. Over-reliance on AI could limit students’ ability to think critically and engage in real-world communication. Additionally, AI may not fully understand cultural context, which is essential for mastering a language. My suggestion is to use AI as a supplement to traditional learning methods, combining it with teacher-guided lessons and real-life practice for the best results. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于投稿，要求考生写一篇以“AI and English Learning”为主题的文章，向校英文报投稿，内容包括：1.分析AI辅助英语学习的优势和潜在问题；2. 你的建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 帮助：help→assist 然而：yet→however 另外：moreover→what’s more 提高：improve→boost 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：My advice is to use AI as a supplement. 拓展句：My advice is that we should use AI as a supplement. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Yet, AI might reduce creativity in writing if students copy AI-generated answers blindly.

I’m really excited because Emily always gives me special birthday gifts, so I want to do something good in return. I decided that, instead of just buying her a gift, I’d bake (烤) her a cake. I’m not a master in the kitchen, but how hard could it be to bake a simple chocolate cake? The day before the party, I went to the store to pick up everything I needed: flour (面粉) , sugar, eggs, and, of course, chocolate. I even bought a nice toy to make the cake look beautiful. I was feeling pretty confident. When I got home, I started mixing everything together. It was going smoothly and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of baking. But then, disaster struck. I was rushing to get the cake finished, and in a hurry, I took the wrong bag. Without even thinking, I put in what I thought was sugar, but it was actually salt! The cake looked perfect when it came out-golden brown with a shiny top. The smell was so amazing that I couldn't wait to show it at the party. I imagined everyone was surprised at my baking skills and how impressed Emily would be. But little did I know, my cake was about to become the most memorable birthday cake ever. The next day, I arrived at Emily's party with the cake. The moment came when we cut the cake. Emily, being the birthday girl, was the first to taste the cake.

Trying hard not to laugh, she looked at me, with her eyes widening in disbelief, “Are you sure this is a cake? ” I immediately took a bite myself. The moment the flavor hit my tongue, my heart dropped. I know something had gone terribly wrong and the entire room went dead silent. “I - uh - I think I used salt instead of sugar! ” I stammered, with my face turning bright red. Then as if planned, everyone burst out laughing. Emily, however, quickly regained her composure (镇定) . “Thank you so much for making this cake, which made this birthday the most memorable one.” She winked at me, trying to make me feel better. I smiled, feeling grateful for her kindness and understanding. At that point, everyone who had been eagerly waiting for the cake rushed to try the salty surprise, all full of curiosity and excitement. I was soon involved in the cheerful atmosphere, realizing that true friendship is about accepting and supporting each other, even when things go wrong. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为朋友Emily的生日精心准备了一个巧克力蛋糕，但由于在制作过程中误将盐当作糖，导致蛋糕味道怪异的故事。尽管蛋糕的外观和香气完美，但品尝后却令人难忘，展现了作者在厨房中的失误以及Emily的宽容与镇定。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“但随后她的表情变了。”可知，第一段可描写Emily品尝蛋糕后的反应，以及在场其他人的表现。 ② 由第二段首句内容“然而，Emily很快恢复了镇静。”可知，第二段可描写Emily如何镇定地处理这一尴尬局面，并表达对作者的感谢以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：品尝蛋糕——表情变化——众人反应——Emily镇定——化解尴尬——表达感谢——感悟友情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①突然大笑：burst out laughing/burst into laughter ②眨眼：wink/blink ③冲：rush/dash 情绪类 ① 感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】The moment the flavor hit my tongue, my heart dropped.（运用了the moment引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Thank you so much for making this cake, which made this birthday the most memorable one.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型3】At that point, everyone who had been eagerly waiting for the cake rushed to try the salty surprise, all full of curiosity and excitement.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 试卷类型：A 梅州市高中期末考试试卷(2025.7) 高二英语 本试卷共6页，满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案，答案不能答在试卷上。不按要求填涂的，答案无效。考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。 2、非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分) 阅读下列三篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A Olympic School & Group Environmental Science Our overnight environmental science program in Olympic National Park offers students the opportunity to engage in inclusive, hands-on learning experiences in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest’s splendid Olympic mountains.

I found it hanging in the window of a shop in Brighton, England. I was there to deliver a talk on modern women’s writing at an international conference, a PhD student eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life to start. I had just turned 28. I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back. She and I are one and the same, but we are also very different. There was a change that happened a few years into the five-year plan. Each time one goal post was reached, another took its place. This is the pattern of the overly ambitious. I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore. The jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe (衣橱). Seven years later, as I stand in front of my wardrobe filled with useless clothes, I don’t know what to do with the jacket. When England’s cold spread to my bones years earlier, the jacket had felt like a practical thing I bought. Here in Australia’s sunshine, it always felt a little silly. I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the other clothes I’ve decided to give away because they no longer make the cut. Yet despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up, at the last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe. I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman. 4. What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2? A. Her taste in clothing. B. Her original dreams. C. Her character in her late 20s. D. Her family relationships. 5. What happened to the author in paragraph 3? A. She was proud of her success. B. She cared less about dressing. C. She started losing ambition. D. She seldom doubted her plan. 6. Why did the author keep the jacket? A. To encourage other women. B. To treasure her real self. C. To help her set goals. D. To help her keep warm. C On a peaceful summer morning, a field of popular trees sway (摇摆) in the wind, and insects buzz around. At first sight, the scene seems calm, but the trees are actually under attack. Insects are feeding on their leaves, and the trees are defending themselves. Though plants can’t run or hide, they have developed ways to fight back. When an insect begins to bite a leaf, the tree mounts defenses. It also quickly messages its neighbors: “We’re under attack! Get your defenses ready!” It even produces chemicals to repel (驱赶) the attackers and may attract other insects to help. These responses happen without us noticing,but scientists are discovering that plants can do things we once thought only animals could do. They communicate with each other, and form memories — all without a brain. Research has shown that plants can communicate in complex ways. In the 1980s, scientists discovered that injured trees could warn nearby trees of danger. When one tree was damaged, it made chemicals that sent a signal through the air to the others. This led to the idea of “talking” plants, opening up the field of plant communication. Plants can also learn and form memories. In one experiment, a plant called Mimosa pudica stopped reacting to harmless drops after repeated exposure. This suggests that plants can remember and adapt to their environment, even without a nervous system. These discoveries show plants are able to do far more than meets our eyes. But does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so. Others are not so sure. The problem may trace (追溯) to how we define words like “thinking” and “intelligence”. Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh, a plant biologist at the University of Washington, likes the term neurobiology (神经生物学). Technically, a plant lacks nerves. Still, it has a sensory system.But some scientists think the idea is a hard sell. After all, plants don’t have nervous systems.Even now, this idea raises questions. 7. How does a tree defend itself against an insect attack? A. By releasing chemicals. B. By turning to the sunshine. C. By forming memories. D. By using warm air currents. 8 Why is the plant Mimosa pudica mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To erase some doubts. B. To support an opinion. C. To praise researchers. D. To make a comparison. 9. What can we infer about these discoveries? A. They lack conclusive proof. B. They fuel a big debate in biology. C. They share little common ground. D. They inspire ideas about human health. 10. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Is Wildlife Sensitive? B. How Do Nervous Systems Work? C. Are Plants Intelligent? D. How Do Trees Survive Hot Weather? 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner.

I’m really excited because Emily always gives me special birthday gifts, so I want to do something good in return. I decided that, instead of just buying her a gift, I’d bake (烤) her a cake. I’m not a master in the kitchen, but how hard could it be to bake a simple chocolate cake? The day before the party, I went to the store to pick up everything I needed: flour (面粉) , sugar, eggs, and, of course, chocolate. I even bought a nice toy to make the cake look beautiful. I was feeling pretty confident. When I got home, I started mixing everything together. It was going smoothly and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of baking. But then, disaster struck. I was rushing to get the cake finished, and in a hurry, I took the wrong bag. Without even thinking, I put in what I thought was sugar, but it was actually salt! The cake looked perfect when it came out-golden brown with a shiny top. The smell was so amazing that I couldn't wait to show it at the party. I imagined everyone was surprised at my baking skills and how impressed Emily would be. But little did I know, my cake was about to become the most memorable birthday cake ever. The next day, I arrived at Emily's party with the cake. The moment came when we cut the cake. Emily, being the birthday girl, was the first to taste the cake. She carefully cut a piece, and with a big smile, she took the first bite (咬) . 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But then her expression changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily, however, quickly regained her composure (镇定) . ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
