Then I grew less trusting and quit __11__ any excuse. When the students at my new school didn’t finish homework, I never asked why. Instead, I just sighed loudly and recorded a zero in the grade book. I soon gained the __12__ I thought I wanted. One day, Anthony approached me. “Could I talk to you?” he asked __13__. “I know you said no excuse, but I don’t want you to think I’m __14__ because I often come without my homework.” He then looked up at me for the first time. “It’s just that... my dad moved out, and my mom works at night, so I have to look after my little brothers. Often, they cry a lot, and it’s hard for me to __15__...” I was about to ask why he didn’t tell me earlier when I suddenly realized why. So I changed the __16__. “Would it help if you stayed after school and worked on it before you go home?” He nodded hard. Anthony became the first student in my after-school study session. Several days later, Terrell joined him, followed by Sandy and Randy. Before long, I had a room full of students. Their stories were not amusing, but all very __17__: • The power company __18__ our lights because we couldn’t pay the bill. • My dad says schoolwork is just a waste of time. • We don’t have any paper in the house. I thus discovered not all kids come from families that are __19__. Not all kids have a quiet bedroom with a desk and study light. Some don’t even have home. Most importantly, I learned that “I’ll listen” __20__ better than “No excuse!” 11.

Tree Planting B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔 画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. reconnect with her origin B. pick up a new hobby C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. comes from creative energy B. reflects the creator’s spirits C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. We are the sum of what we create. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Find beauty from your inner self. - 高一年级英语第六学段考试 2025 年 7 月 第 4 页（共 8 页）- C Plants do not listen to the radio. But a team of researchers in Greece recently found a way to turn lemons into very small “radio stations” that can broadcast information about their trees’ moisture content to a smartphone—the first step toward creating what the researchers call an “Internet of plants.” Scientists had previously attached sensors to trees to measure their water use, but “no other team had created a wireless radio network among plants, sending information while consuming only a few microwatts and costing just a few dollars,” says project leader Aggelos Bletsas, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Technical University of Crete. The network consists of several basic components: an existing FM radio station, an antenna (天 线 ) attached to a lemon growing on a tree, a humidity (湿度 ) sensor in the lemon, a transistor connected to an antenna and an FM receiver. First, the antenna picks up the signal from the FM station, and then passes the signal to the transistor, which is modulated by the humidity sensor. The sensor switches the transistor on and off at a rate dependent on the plant’s moisture level: if the soil is wet or if the atmosphere is humid, that rate is lower; if it is dry, the rate is higher. Finally, the antenna broadcasts this information to the radio receiver on a mobile phone. In this way, plants can tell farmers if they are thirsty. “We can literally ‘listen’ to the moisture of the plant, using our mobile FM radio with a $3.4 sensor,” Bletsas says. “Two of these sensors for every acre on any given farm might change the way we conduct agriculture and ‘understand’ plants.” He notes that more sensors may be needed for the best possible results. Such real-time information could enable better control of air and soil moisture. Why go through all this trouble and not just use already common wireless technology, such as Bluetooth? “Not only is our technique less complex, as we are just borrowing signals in the environment,” Bletsas says, but “a Bluetooth-based sensor costs about $25. Our final aim is to launch sensors onto the market costing less than $1.” “Bletsas and his team are completely changing the way of environmental sensing using very simple equipment and surprisingly little power,” says Alexandros Dimakis, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved in the research. “Their work could be a transformational Internet of Things technology for agriculture and for monitoring the environment.” 28. The radio network created by Greek researchers _____. A. consumes much energy B. can be put in a smartphone C. uses simple technology at low cost D. broadcasts radio programs to plants 29. What does the underlined word “modulated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Monitored. B. Adjusted. C. Measured. D. Connected. 30. What is Alexandros Dimakis’ attitude to the “radio network”? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To discuss methods of studying plants. B. To assess the efficiency of Internet of plants. C. To stress the importance of keeping soil’s moisture. D. To introduce a new way of measuring plants’ water use. D “If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know. 密 封 线 - - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - - 高一年级英语第六学段考试 2025 年 7 月 第 5 页（共 8 页）- Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.” Intellectual humility means recognizing that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we’re probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack. The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉 ) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding—and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体 ), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognize that their own opinions might not be valid. At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias—the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully. The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people turn into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes. 32. The passage is mainly about _____. A. the harm arrogance does to us B. the key elements to a fulfilling life C. the way people access information online D. the significance of intellectual humility 33. Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it _____. A. allows easy access to abundant information B. enables people to think critically C. makes it hard for people to recall information D. offers too much unreliable information 34. According to Para. 4, intellectually humble people _____. A. value others’ opinions more than their own B. use online information to better themselves C. are unwilling to show their strengths D. prefer to solve difficult problems 35. The author will probably agree that _____. A. intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution B. intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits C. successful people are often unaware of their limitations D. circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people 班 级 学 号 姓 名 密 封 线 - - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - -- - - -- - - -- - - -- - - - - 高一年级英语第六学段考试 2025 年 7 月 第 6 页（共 8 页）- 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2分，共 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。 I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet. Nothing could be further from the truth. ____36____ A simple Internet search for “cats” produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second. It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results? We hear so much about “false news”. ____37____ Librarians are there to help. They have been trained, through special classes and workshops, to sort through all of the results and find credible sources. Author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.” ____38____ It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job, continue their education, and learn new skills. It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the “modern” world. It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them. It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work. It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions. It allows people to meet and exchange ideas. Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, there are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other things. ____39____ They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbour for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study. Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren. ____40____ I don’t see the Internet doing that. A. We don’t know what sources to trust. B. The public library helps people better their lives. C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface. D. However, libraries’ meaning and relevance goes even beyond that. E. The public library brings people together to build a strong community. F. In fact, it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever. G.Every day children, students and adults use libraries to learn, grow and achieve their dreams. 第 II 卷 第一节 阅读表达（共 4小题；共 12 分。第 1、2小题各 2分，第 3小题 3分，第 4小题 5分。） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the - 高一年级英语第六学段考试 2025 年 7 月 第 7 页（共 8 页）- digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢 ) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. 1. What’s the function of the natural enzymes? 2. How does the body protect its vital organs from acidic waste? 3. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.  Eating the right types of processed foods can help neutralize the acid accumulated in body. 4. In your daily life, what active approaches can you take in choosing food if you truly want to stay healthy?

Campuses will rely on green energy solutions. Solar panels will blanket classroom rooftops, while courtyard gardens irrigated by rainwater recycling systems serve as outdoor learning laboratories. In science labs, AI tutors will provide personalized guidance, and students could analyze experiment data via holographic displays, then design eco-friendly structures with 3D printer. Yet the human touch remains essential. Human teachers use brainwave- monitoring headsets to tailor lessons, giving feedback in handwritten uplifting notes. Art studios will be creative spaces, where digital art platforms showcase student creations. Imagine such a school where technology fuels curiosity, nature fosters responsibility, and human interaction stays heartfelt. I’m filled with optimism for the future development of our country’s educational landscape. (130 words)
