Columbus, Ohio Named one of the “Seven Smartest Cities in the World” by the World Smart City Forum, Columbus, Ohio, is home to a lot of walkable neighborhoods, from the Short North Arts District where art museums and coffee shops are plentiful, to the University District. Consider a stay in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous concert places and restaurants within easy reach. Las Vegas, Nevada Las Vegas may be famous for its casinos, shows and entertainment, but it’s also considered the cultural center of Nevada. The city as a whole isn’t the most walkable destination, but the Las Vegas Strip is extremely walker-friendly — it’s small and easy to get from one attraction to another. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania It’s easy to lose track of time while you are wandering throughout the walkable downtown of Pittsburgh. Once you’re done admiring the architecture, catching a show, and hanging out at Point State Park, cross Roberto Clemente Bridge to continue your explorations. Watch the world-championship winner Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball at PNC Park, see Andy Warhol’s work up close at a museum dedicated to him, or spend an afternoon at the National Aviary. Seattle, Washington With the surrounding mountains, forests, and bodies of water, Seattle is nicknamed the “Emerald City” for all its thick greenery. It’s also very walkable, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions easily accessed on foot. The most walker-friendly parts of Seattle include its downtown area, Belltown, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne. 1. What can we know about Columbus? A. It is the cultural center of Ohio’. B. It is the smartest city in the US. C. Its downtown is highly recommended for visitors. D. Its University District has plenty of coffee shops. 2. Where can tourists enjoy a professional sports game? A. In Seattle. B. In Pittsburgh. C. In Columbus. D. In Las Vegas. 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They are famous for excellent museums. B. Their residents are very friendly to visitors. C. They all have beautiful natural environments. D. Their attractions are suitable to explore on foot. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四个适合步行参观的城市。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Consider a stay in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous concert places and restaurants within easy reach.(不妨考虑在市中心停留，那里步行可达性极佳，众多音乐会场所和餐厅近在咫尺)”可知，哥伦布的市中心非常值得游客前往参观。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Watch the world-championship winner Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball at PNC Park, see Andy Warhol’s work up close at a museum dedicated to him, or spend an afternoon at the National Aviary.(在PNC公园观看世界冠军球队匹兹堡海盗队进行棒球比赛，近距离欣赏安迪·沃霍尔的作品（这些作品位于一个以他命名的博物馆内），或者在国家鸟类园度过一个下午)”可知，游客们可以在匹兹堡观看专业体育比赛。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Consider a stay in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous concert places and restaurants within easy reach.(不妨考虑在市中心停留，那里步行可达性极佳，众多音乐会场所和餐厅近在咫尺)”；第三段“The city as a whole isn’t the most walkable destination, but the Las Vegas Strip is extremely walker-friendly — it’s small and easy to get from one attraction to another.(整个城市并非是最适合步行游览的地方，但拉斯维加斯大道却非常便于步行——它面积不大，而且从一个景点到另一个景点都很容易到达)”；第四段“It’s easy to lose track of time while you are wandering throughout the walkable downtown of Pittsburgh.(当你漫步在匹兹堡这座可步行的市中心时，很容易就会忘记时间的流逝)”以及最后一段“The most walker-friendly parts of Seattle include its downtown area, Belltown, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne.(西雅图最适合步行游览的区域包括市中心、贝尔镇、国会山以及奎恩安区)”可知，共同点是都适合步行游览。故选D。 B “We’re having cheese ‘n’ kabobs.” That’s what I heard my wife say. I knew I didn’t hear it right, so I asked her to repeat herself. “Chicken kebabs,” she repeated. That made more sense. What didn’t make sense was why I misunderstood for the first time, when I was actually sitting one foot away from her. As I confirmed with testing, it’s not because my ears were struggling to hear. Instead, my brain was struggling to process the sounds. I was diagnosed (诊断) with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). The ears can take in the sounds, but the information the brain gets doesn’t make sense. Some people were born with the problem, while others, like me, develop it after an injury to the brain. My world changed after I fell over and hit my head. While my other problems, such as sensitivity (敏感) to light, gradually improved over the years, the issue with hearing things differently remained and it took a long time for me to understand why. I eventually found an expert who could figure out what was going on. Before the meeting, I struggled a lot with simple interactions (交流) with the world around me, like listening to music, reading, and talking to my family and friends. Though learning I had APD was scary, getting the diagnosis felt like a door had finally been opened and I could get out of prison. There was a way to interact with the world after all. The doctor told me that, despite no cure for APD, there are tools and tricks to make it easier to live with. As suggested, when someone wants to talk to me, I stop what I’m doing first — my brain can’t deal with many information flows at once. Now, it’s great that my wife doesn’t have to repeat herself over and over again. The downside is that the way she gets my attention now is making me feel a little like Siri (a voice assistant on some electronic products). Our conversations often begin with, “Hey, Ryan!” 4. Why did the author mishear his wife? A. His wife stood far away from him. B. He paid little attention to her then. C. He failed to process sounds properly. D. His ears had difficulty in receiving sounds. 5. How did the author develop APD? A. He got it after a serious illness. B. He was born with the condition. C. He suffered a brain injury from a fall. D. He experienced long-term ear problems. 6. What was the author’s reaction when he got the diagnosis? A. He didn’t believe it. B. He felt relieved and hopeful. C. He was disappointed and fearful. D. He considered it a reason to quit. 7. What did the expert suggest the author do? A. Focus on one task at a time. B. Practise his hearing regularly. C Try hard to improve his memory. D. Use digital tools like Siri. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因摔倒脑损伤患上听觉处理障碍，难以处理声音，确诊后虽无治愈方法，但有应对技巧，如今交流改善，妻子常以特定方式叫他。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I confirmed with testing, it’s not because my ears were struggling to hear. Instead, my brain was struggling to process the sounds.(通过测试我确认，这并不是因为我的耳朵难以听清，而是因为我的大脑难以处理这些声音)”可知，作者会听错他妻子的话是因为他未能正确地处理声音信息。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some people were born with the problem, while others, like me, develop it after an injury to the brain. My world changed after I fell over and hit my head.(有些人天生就患有这种疾病，而另一些人（比如我）则是因大脑受伤而患上此症的。在我摔倒并撞到头部之后，我的世界彻底改变了)”可知，作者因一次跌倒而遭受了脑部损伤而患上APD。故选C。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Though learning I had APD was scary, getting the diagnosis felt like a door had finally been opened and I could get out of prison. There was a way to interact with the world after all.(虽然得知自己患有APD这件事很可怕，但得到诊断的感觉就像是终于有一扇门打开了，我可以走出“牢笼”了。毕竟，还是有与这个世界交流的方式的)”可知，当作者得到诊断结果时，他感到如释重负且满怀希望。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As suggested, when someone wants to talk to me, I stop what I’m doing first — my brain can’t deal with many information flows at once.(正如所建议的那样，当有人想和我交流时，我会先停下手头正在做的事情——我的大脑无法同时处理过多的信息流)”可知，这位专家建议作者一次只专注于一项任务。故选A。 C To us humans, glass is ordinary; to birds, it’s one of the world’s most troubling materials. A bird flying toward a window notices only the space and objects beyond, not the invisible (看不到的) force field in its way. Glass kills as many as a billion birds every year in the United States alone. Chicago, among the largest and brightest cities within North America’s Mississippi flyway, is especially deadly. The millions of artificial (人工的) lights present themselves as false stars, confusing birds that locate themselves by starlight and attracting them toward the glassy buildings below. In 2019, researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology considered Chicago the country’s most dangerous city for birds. The city’s residents aren’t oblivious of the disaster. Some building managers have taken measures to protect birds, and politicians have tried to relieve the problem through laws. But progress has been slow, and new glass buildings appear every year. The history of bird-strike research in Chicago dates back to 1978. That year, Dave Willard, an ornithologist at the city’s Field Museum, inspired Lights Out Chicago, a citywide activity that encourages building managers to shut their lights during migration (迁徙) seasons. Most years, more than 90 percent of Chicago’s towers take part. “Yet even with lights out, a large number of birds are killed,” Willard said. “There’s no change in our taste for glass as an architectural feature.” Fortunately, Illinois took the lead in 2021 by requiring that new state-owned buildings include bird-friendly things like netting and screens, becoming one of the first US states to pass such a law. 8. What makes Chicago particularly dangerous for birds? A. It lies in the birds’ main flyway. B. Its glass buildings are much taller. C. Its residents usually catch birds. D. It has much light reflected by glass. 9. What does the underlined part “aren’t oblivious of” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Aren’t aware of. B. Aren’t interested in. C. Aren’t affected by. D. Aren’t blind to. 10. What can be inferred from Dave Willard’s words in paragraph 4? A. People’s preference for glass worsens the bird death problem. B. More laws should be laid down to protect the birds from dying. C. Building managers should actively take part in Lights Out Chicago. D. Turning off lights is the most effective way to solve the bird death problem. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of US bird migration research. B. The bird death from glass and its solutions. C. The popularity of Chicago’s glass architecture. D. Artificial lighting’s effects on the environment. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了玻璃对鸟类的危害及芝加哥等地的应对措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The millions of artificial (人工的) lights present themselves as false stars, confusing birds that locate themselves by starlight and attracting them toward the glassy buildings below.(数以百万计的人造灯光伪装成假星星，迷惑了靠星光定位的鸟类，并将它们吸引到下面的玻璃建筑上)”可知，芝加哥对鸟类特别危险是因为它有很多玻璃反射的光线，让鸟类误以为是星星而撞上去。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Some building managers have taken measures to protect birds, and politicians have tried to relieve the problem through laws.(一些建筑管理人员已经采取措施保护鸟类，政客们也试图通过法律来缓解这个问题)”可知，人们采取了一些措施防止鸟类撞上玻璃，说明芝加哥的居民并非没有注意到这场灾难。因此，“aren’t oblivious of”在此处意为“没有忽视，没有视而不见”，与“aren’t blind to”意思相近。故选D。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Dave Willard所说的话“Yet even with lights out, a large number of birds are killed,” Willard said. “There’s no change in our taste for glass as an architectural feature.”(“然而，即使关灯，仍然有大量鸟类被杀，” Willard说。“我们对玻璃作为建筑特色的喜好没有改变。”)”可知，尽管采取了关灯等措施，但鸟类死亡问题仍然严重，因为人们对玻璃作为建筑特色的喜好没有改变。因此，可以推断出人们对玻璃的偏好加剧了鸟类死亡问题。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段中“Glass kills as many as a billion birds every year in the United States alone.(仅在美国，玻璃每年就杀死多达十亿只鸟类)”以及后文对芝加哥鸟类死亡问题的描述和解决方案的探讨，可知本文主要讨论了玻璃导致的鸟类死亡问题及其解决方案。故选B。 D In the past, finding a private sports coach often meant word-of-mouth referrals, expensive training equipment, and longtime scheduling. But as technology continues to reshape the way we work, learn, and connect, the world of youth sports training is getting its own upgrade. Just as Uber reimagined transportation, new digital platforms are now decentralizing (使分散) the $20 billion youth sports industry, giving families more direct access to qualified coaches — and providing former athletes with flexible opportunities after their playing careers (职业) end. It is comforting to see that the time of on-demand coaching comes. This model, often referred to as the “platformization” of sports training, is catching on fast. Rather than having to pay for year-round training fees or expensive academies, families can now access high-quality coaching one session (一节) at a time — often from athletes who have competed at the highest levels. The data from Athletes Untapped, an on-demand coaching platform, shows a great increase in the number of youth training sessions booked online between 2018 and 2024. The sharp rise reflects increasing comfort with using digital tools to find and schedule specialized coaching, in line with consumer trends (趋势) seen in fitness, tutoring, and other service fields. Much of this growth has been driven by parents seeking personalized, flexible training options that fit into increasingly busy family schedules. Rather than signing up for seasonal or year-round programs, families are choosing to book single sessions based on their child’s needs and availability — often working directly with former collegiate or professional athletes in their local area. Former athletes get a meaningful, flexible path forward. And the game itself? It gets to live on in new forms. Further analysis of platform data shows which sports are driving the most interest in private coaching. Basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball rank as the most-booked disciplines on Athletes Untapped, consistent with broader youth sports participation trends in the U. S. But the bigger takeaway? The way we think about skill-building is changing. Kids want coaches they connect with. Parents want transparency and trust. And both want access — without the red tape. Whether you’re a parent looking for flexible training options or an ex-athlete figuring out your next chapter, the message is clear: Coaching, like almost everything else, is going on-demand and that will benefit more people. 12. What’s a feature of the “platformization” of sports training? A. It serves sports training to youth with Uber. B. It offers families more advanced training equipment. C. It lets families make a more detailed training schedule. D. It provides families with access to high-quality coaching. 13. Why does the author mention the data from Athletes Untapped? A. To prove traditional sports training is still popular. B. To show the increasing difficulty in booking online training sessions. C. To explain the growing trend of using digital platforms for sports coaching. D. To stress digital tools can lead to better training results. 14. What is the author’s attitude to new coaching models? A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Technology Is Changing Sports Coaching B. Professional Athletes Serve as Good Coaches C. Traditional Coaching Methods Are Still the Best Choice Today D. The Differences Between Traditional Coaching and On-Demand Coaching 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科技改变运动训练模式，平台化模式体育训练实现了“按需教练”，这让家庭获的优质教练，也让前运动员获得灵活机会。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This model, often referred to as the “platformization” of sports training, is catching on fast. Rather than having to pay for year-round training fees or expensive academies, families can now access high-quality coaching one session ( 一节 ) at a time — often from athletes who have competed at the highest levels.(这种通常被称为运动训练“平台化”的模式正在迅速流行起来。现在，家庭不必支付全年的训练费或昂贵的学院费用，而是可以一次一次地获得高质量的教练——通常是来自参加过最高水平比赛的运动员)”可知，平台式的体育训练让家庭提获得高质量指导。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The data from Athletes Untapped, an on-demand coaching platform, shows a great increase in the number of youth training sessions booked online between 2018 and 2024. The sharp rise reflects increasing comfort with using digital tools to find and schedule specialized coaching, in line with consumer trends (趋势) seen in fitness, tutoring, and other service fields.(来自按需教练平台Athletes unused的数据显示，在2018年至2024年期间，在线预订的青少年训练课程数量大幅增加。这一数字的急剧上升反映出，人们越来越习惯使用数字工具来寻找和安排专业教练，这与健身、辅导和其他服务领域的消费趋势一致)”推知，作者提到来自Athletes unused的数据是为了解释使用数字平台进行体育教练的增长趋势。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whether you’re a parent looking for flexible training options or an ex-athlete figuring out your next chapter, the message is clear: Coaching, like almost everything else, is going on-demand and that will benefit more people.(无论你是一位寻找灵活训练选择的家长，还是一位正在寻找人生下一篇章的前运动员，信息都很明确：教练和其他几乎所有事情一样，都是按需进行的，这将使更多的人受益)”推知，作者对新的教练模式的态度是赞赏的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“But as technology continues to reshape the way we work, learn, and connect, the world of youth sports training is getting its own upgrade.(但随着科技不断重塑我们工作、学习和联系的方式，青少年体育训练领域也在不断升级)”和最后一段“Whether you’re a parent looking for flexible training options or an ex-athlete figuring out your next chapter, the message is clear: Coaching, like almost everything else, is going on-demand and that will benefit more people.(无论你是一位寻找灵活训练选择的家长，还是一位正在寻找人生下一篇章的前运动员，信息都很明确：教练和其他几乎所有事情一样，都是按需进行的，这将使更多的人受益)”可知，文章主要介绍科技改变运动训练模式，平台式体育训练实现了“按需教练”，这让家庭获的优质教练，也让前运动员获得灵活机会。因此A项“Technology Is Changing Sports Coaching(科技正在改变体育教练)”可以作为最佳标题。故选A。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s the end of the term, and that means final exams. ____16____. However, here are some tips for managing exam stress and avoiding burnout. ◎Do one thing at a time. As an old saying goes, “If you try to chase two rabbits, they’ll both escape.” This is also true for final projects or papers. A key part of managing exam stress is to finish one project, subject, or paper at a time. ___17___. ◎Get your priorities (优先事项) set. You should focus on the most immediate task first, or one you know you’ll need to spend more time on. ____18____. This is especially helpful when you’re studying for exams, as setting your priorities lets you devote more time and energy to subjects that you know you struggle with, or work on meeting deadlines (截止日期) that you’re closer to. ◎Budget (规划) your time. Getting good grades and studying enough for your exams are important, but if that comes at the expense of your sleep schedule or mental health, then you’re shooting yourself in the foot before you even reach the deadline. ____19____. Though we must make sure to set aside time for studies, we should find time to relax. ◎___20___. This trick for managing exam stress goes hand in hand with the previous one. End-of-term projects, papers and exams can feel huge when the deadline is approaching, the large amount of work seeming impossible to do all at once. If you divide huge projects into smaller pieces, you’ll find your stress lowering and your productivity increasing. A. It’s not worth it B. Improve your productivity C. Break down your work D. It’s no secret that finals can be stressful E. In this way you can manage your stress easily F. Make sure you know what’s more important G. It can also let you set aside some “me time” 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了应对期末考试压力、避免过度劳累的几条建议。 【16题详解】 上文“It’s the end of the term, and that means final exams.(学期结束了，这意味着期末考试)”说明学期结束要面临期末考试。下文“However, here are some tips for managing exam stress and avoiding burnout.(然而，这里有一些管理考试压力和避免倦怠的技巧)”指出有应对考试压力的建议。空处承接前文，引出压力这一话题，与后文形成转折关系。所以D项“期末考试会带来压力，这不是什么秘密”符合语境，该项中的“finals can be stressful”和下文中的“managing exam stress and avoiding burnout”相呼应。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“A key part of managing exam stress is to finish one project, subject, or paper at a time.(管理考试压力的一个关键部分是一次完成一个项目、一门学科或一篇论文)”说明管理考试压力的方法是一次完成一个任务，空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明这样做的好处。所以E项“这样你就可以轻松地管理自己的压力了”符合语境，该项中的“In this way”指代前文中的“to finish one project, subject, or paper at a time”。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“You should focus on the most immediate task first, or one you know you’ll need to spend more time on.(你应该首先关注最紧迫的任务，或者你知道你需要花更多时间完成的任务)”说明要确定任务的优先级，空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明要确保知道什么更重要。所以F项“确保你知道什么更重要”符合语境，进一步强调明确重要事项的必要性，符合段落主旨。故选F。 【19题详解】 上文“Getting good grades and studying enough for your exams are important, but if that comes at the expense of your sleep schedule or mental health, then you’re shooting yourself in the foot before you even reach the deadline.(取得好成绩并为考试充分学习是很重要的，但如果这是以牺牲你的睡眠时间表或心理健康为代价的，那么你甚至在截止日期之前就已经在伤害自己了)”说明为了成绩牺牲睡眠和健康是不值得的，空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步强调这种做法不值得。所以A项“这不值得”符合语境，该项中的It指代前文中的“that comes at the expense of your sleep schedule or mental health”，表明这种做法不可取。故选A。 【20题详解】 下文“If you divide huge projects into smaller pieces, you’ll find your stress lowering and your productivity increasing.(如果你把巨大的项目分成小块，你会发现你的压力减轻了，效率提高了)”说明本段主要讲的是要把工作分解开，空处位于段首，应为本段的主题句，概括本段内容。所以C项“分解你的工作”符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Mrs. Brennan would be Mary’s new teacher.

The two brothers had grown inseparable from Coco. They spent nights searching their neighborhood, posting “Lost Dog” posters on every street. They even left a bowl of food and a blanket (毯子) by the door each night, refusing to let hope fade entirely. At the same time, they reported their dog’s missing to the police station. As time passed week by week, the family gradually lost their original optimism (乐观), yet their daily practice of holding onto hope remained unshaken. “We knew Coco might be gone,” Helen Van Heerden recalled, “but those small acts kept us connected to the possibility of her return. “The brothers’ dedication (奉献) — staying up late to check parks and small streets, asking neighbors for clues — proved that love can last a long time. The good news came on a Saturday morning in mid-March. As the family packed for a weekend trip, Helen’s phone rang. Adicia Thomas, an officer from the police station, spoke in a rush, “We’ve found Coco! A woman named Joy Matodzi rescued her — she’s safe.” Alicia Thomas told them the whole story. Weeks earlier, Joy Matodzi, an animal lover who ran a small vegetable stand, was walking home when she saw a man mistreating a trembling dog on a dirt road. When she saw its silver collar (颈圈) and its tearful eyes, she immediately knew that she must help that dog. She was sure that no pet should be treated like trash. When the man demanded $15 to free the dog, Joy paid without hesitation, and then she rushed to the police station to report it. After Alicia Thomas detailed the story, he asked the Van Heerden family to come to the police station to bring the dog home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. As soon as they entered the room, Coco let out an excited bark and dashed toward the brothers, who knelt down to hug her tightly. Tears of joy rolled down their cheeks as they stroked her shaggy fur, checking if she was hurt. Helen held Coco in her arms, murmuring, “We thought we’d lost you forever.” When they met Joy, the family thanked her repeatedly, offering money as a reward, but Joy refused with a smile, saying, “Anyone who loves animals would do the same.” Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. They used their pocket money to buy food and water bowls, placing them in parks for stray animals. With their parents’ help, they set up a small “animal rescue corner” in their yard, where they took care of injured cats and dogs they found. They also made posters to call on neighbors to treat animals kindly. Whenever someone asked why they did this, the brothers would say proudly, “Joy saved Coco, and we want to pass on her kindness.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以寻找失踪的狗狗Coco为线索展开，讲述狗狗失踪后Van Heerden家的两个儿子想尽一切办法寻找它，都但没有成功。几周过去了，就在大家失去希望时，警察Adicia Thomas打来电话说狗狗已经被找到，并讲述了Joy Matodzi发现并解救Coco的经过。听了消息，Van Heerden一家放弃度假，前往警察局接Coco。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“这家人放弃了旅行，兴高采烈地开车去了警察局。”可知，第一段可描写他们见到Coco的场景，对Joy的感激，以及Joy的回应。 ②根据第二段首句“受到Joy 的启发，兄弟俩决定帮助有需要的动物。”可知，第二段可描写兄弟俩是如何帮助动物的（如：给流浪狗提供水和食物，以及在家搭建临时庇护所，提醒人们保护动物等）。 2.续写线索：开车去警局——见到Coco和她互动——感激Joy Matodzi——Joy Matodzi的回应——受到启发帮助动物——帮助的具体方法 3.词类激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/walk into/step into ②拒绝：refuse/decline ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as they entered the room, Coco let out an excited bark and dashed toward the brothers, who knelt down to hug her tightly. （运用了as soon as引导的时间状语从句，和who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When they met Joy, the family thanked her repeatedly, offering money as a reward, but Joy refused with a smile, saying, “Anyone who loves animals would do the same.”（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，现在分词短语作状语，和who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 承德市2024—2025学年高一下学期期末调研试题 英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

Columbus, Ohio Named one of the “Seven Smartest Cities in the World” by the World Smart City Forum, Columbus, Ohio, is home to a lot of walkable neighborhoods, from the Short North Arts District where art museums and coffee shops are plentiful, to the University District. Consider a stay in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous concert places and restaurants within easy reach. Las Vegas, Nevada Las Vegas may be famous for its casinos, shows and entertainment, but it’s also considered the cultural center of Nevada. The city as a whole isn’t the most walkable destination, but the Las Vegas Strip is extremely walker-friendly — it’s small and easy to get from one attraction to another. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania It’s easy to lose track of time while you are wandering throughout the walkable downtown of Pittsburgh. Once you’re done admiring the architecture, catching a show, and hanging out at Point State Park, cross Roberto Clemente Bridge to continue your explorations. Watch the world-championship winner Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball at PNC Park, see Andy Warhol’s work up close at a museum dedicated to him, or spend an afternoon at the National Aviary. Seattle, Washington With the surrounding mountains, forests, and bodies of water, Seattle is nicknamed the “Emerald City” for all its thick greenery. It’s also very walkable, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions easily accessed on foot. The most walker-friendly parts of Seattle include its downtown area, Belltown, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne. 1. What can we know about Columbus? A. It is the cultural center of Ohio’. B. It is the smartest city in the US. C. Its downtown is highly recommended for visitors. D. Its University District has plenty of coffee shops. 2. Where can tourists enjoy a professional sports game? A In Seattle. B. In Pittsburgh. C. In Columbus. D. In Las Vegas. 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They are famous for excellent museums. B. Their residents are very friendly to visitors. C. They all have beautiful natural environments. D. Their attractions are suitable to explore on foot. B “We’re having cheese ‘n’ kabobs.” That’s what I heard my wife say. I knew I didn’t hear it right, so I asked her to repeat herself. “Chicken kebabs,” she repeated. That made more sense. What didn’t make sense was why I misunderstood for the first time, when I was actually sitting one foot away from her. As I confirmed with testing, it’s not because my ears were struggling to hear. Instead, my brain was struggling to process the sounds. I was diagnosed (诊断) with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). The ears can take in the sounds, but the information the brain gets doesn’t make sense. Some people were born with the problem, while others, like me, develop it after an injury to the brain. My world changed after I fell over and hit my head. While my other problems, such as sensitivity (敏感) to light, gradually improved over the years, the issue with hearing things differently remained and it took a long time for me to understand why. I eventually found an expert who could figure out what was going on. Before the meeting, I struggled a lot with simple interactions (交流) with the world around me, like listening to music, reading, and talking to my family and friends. Though learning I had APD was scary, getting the diagnosis felt like a door had finally been opened and I could get out of prison. There was a way to interact with the world after all. The doctor told me that, despite no cure for APD, there are tools and tricks to make it easier to live with. As suggested, when someone wants to talk to me, I stop what I’m doing first — my brain can’t deal with many information flows at once. Now, it’s great that my wife doesn’t have to repeat herself over and over again. The downside is that the way she gets my attention now is making me feel a little like Siri (a voice assistant on some electronic products). Our conversations often begin with, “Hey, Ryan!” 4. Why did the author mishear his wife? A. His wife stood far away from him. B. He paid little attention to her then. C. He failed to process sounds properly. D. His ears had difficulty in receiving sounds. 5. How did the author develop APD? A. He got it after a serious illness. B. He was born with the condition. C He suffered a brain injury from a fall. D. He experienced long-term ear problems. 6. What was the author’s reaction when he got the diagnosis? A. He didn’t believe it. B. He felt relieved and hopeful. C. He was disappointed and fearful. D. He considered it a reason to quit. 7. What did the expert suggest the author do? A. Focus on one task at a time. B. Practise his hearing regularly. C. Try hard to improve his memory. D. Use digital tools like Siri. C To us humans, glass is ordinary; to birds, it’s one of the world’s most troubling materials. A bird flying toward a window notices only the space and objects beyond, not the invisible (看不到的) force field in its way. Glass kills as many as a billion birds every year in the United States alone. Chicago, among the largest and brightest cities within North America’s Mississippi flyway, is especially deadly. The millions of artificial (人工的) lights present themselves as false stars, confusing birds that locate themselves by starlight and attracting them toward the glassy buildings below. In 2019, researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology considered Chicago the country’s most dangerous city for birds. The city’s residents aren’t oblivious of the disaster. Some building managers have taken measures to protect birds, and politicians have tried to relieve the problem through laws. But progress has been slow, and new glass buildings appear every year. The history of bird-strike research in Chicago dates back to 1978. That year, Dave Willard, an ornithologist at the city’s Field Museum, inspired Lights Out Chicago, a citywide activity that encourages building managers to shut their lights during migration (迁徙) seasons. Most years, more than 90 percent of Chicago’s towers take part. “Yet even with lights out, a large number of birds are killed,” Willard said. “There’s no change in our taste for glass as an architectural feature.” Fortunately, Illinois took the lead in 2021 by requiring that new state-owned buildings include bird-friendly things like netting and screens, becoming one of the first US states to pass such a law. 8. What makes Chicago particularly dangerous for birds? A. It lies in the birds’ main flyway. B. Its glass buildings are much taller. C. Its residents usually catch birds. D. It has much light reflected by glass. 9 What does the underlined part “aren’t oblivious of” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Aren’t aware of. B. Aren’t interested in. C. Aren’t affected by. D. Aren’t blind to. 10. What can be inferred from Dave Willard’s words in paragraph 4? A. People’s preference for glass worsens the bird death problem. B. More laws should be laid down to protect the birds from dying. C. Building managers should actively take part in Lights Out Chicago. D. Turning off lights is the most effective way to solve the bird death problem. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of US bird migration research. B. The bird death from glass and its solutions. C. The popularity of Chicago’s glass architecture. D. Artificial lighting’s effects on the environment. D In the past, finding a private sports coach often meant word-of-mouth referrals, expensive training equipment, and longtime scheduling. But as technology continues to reshape the way we work, learn, and connect, the world of youth sports training is getting its own upgrade. Just as Uber reimagined transportation, new digital platforms are now decentralizing (使分散) the $20 billion youth sports industry, giving families more direct access to qualified coaches — and providing former athletes with flexible opportunities after their playing careers (职业) end. It is comforting to see that the time of on-demand coaching comes. This model, often referred to as the “platformization” of sports training, is catching on fast. Rather than having to pay for year-round training fees or expensive academies, families can now access high-quality coaching one session (一节) at a time — often from athletes who have competed at the highest levels. The data from Athletes Untapped, an on-demand coaching platform, shows a great increase in the number of youth training sessions booked online between 2018 and 2024. The sharp rise reflects increasing comfort with using digital tools to find and schedule specialized coaching, in line with consumer trends (趋势) seen in fitness, tutoring, and other service fields. Much of this growth has been driven by parents seeking personalized, flexible training options that fit into increasingly busy family schedules. Rather than signing up for seasonal or year-round programs, families are choosing to book single sessions based on their child’s needs and availability — often working directly with former collegiate or professional athletes in their local area. Former athletes get a meaningful, flexible path forward. And the game itself? It gets to live on in new forms. Further analysis of platform data shows which sports are driving the most interest in private coaching. Basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball rank as the most-booked disciplines on Athletes Untapped, consistent with broader youth sports participation trends in the U. S. But the bigger takeaway? The way we think about skill-building is changing. Kids want coaches they connect with. Parents want transparency and trust. And both want access — without the red tape. Whether you’re a parent looking for flexible training options or an ex-athlete figuring out your next chapter, the message is clear: Coaching, like almost everything else, is going on-demand and that will benefit more people. 12. What’s a feature of the “platformization” of sports training? A. It serves sports training to youth with Uber. B. It offers families more advanced training equipment. C. It lets families make a more detailed training schedule. D. It provides families with access to high-quality coaching. 13. Why does the author mention the data from Athletes Untapped? A. To prove traditional sports training is still popular. B. To show the increasing difficulty in booking online training sessions. C. To explain the growing trend of using digital platforms for sports coaching. D. To stress digital tools can lead to better training results. 14. What is the author’s attitude to new coaching models? A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Technology Is Changing Sports Coaching B. Professional Athletes Serve as Good Coaches C. Traditional Coaching Methods Are Still the Best Choice Today D. The Differences Between Traditional Coaching and On-Demand Coaching 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s the end of the term, and that means final exams. ____16____.

The two brothers had grown inseparable from Coco. They spent nights searching their neighborhood, posting “Lost Dog” posters on every street. They even left a bowl of food and a blanket (毯子) by the door each night, refusing to let hope fade entirely. At the same time, they reported their dog’s missing to the police station. As time passed week by week, the family gradually lost their original optimism (乐观), yet their daily practice of holding onto hope remained unshaken. “We knew Coco might be gone,” Helen Van Heerden recalled, “but those small acts kept us connected to the possibility of her return. “The brothers’ dedication (奉献) — staying up late to check parks and small streets, asking neighbors for clues — proved that love can last a long time. The good news came on a Saturday morning in mid-March. As the family packed for a weekend trip, Helen’s phone rang. Adicia Thomas, an officer from the police station, spoke in a rush, “We’ve found Coco! A woman named Joy Matodzi rescued her — she’s safe.” Alicia Thomas told them the whole story. Weeks earlier, Joy Matodzi, an animal lover who ran a small vegetable stand, was walking home when she saw a man mistreating a trembling dog on a dirt road. When she saw its silver collar (颈圈) and its tearful eyes, she immediately knew that she must help that dog. She was sure that no pet should be treated like trash. When the man demanded $15 to free the dog, Joy paid without hesitation, and then she rushed to the police station to report it. After Alicia Thomas detailed the story, he asked the Van Heerden family to come to the police station to bring the dog home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
