B I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece. I was with my in-laws and my wife, and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: You go in, peruse the menu, place your order, get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn’t understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction. Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait! This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave, we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating! I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals. When the locals finished their meals, they would not pay immediately. Instead, they would sit and chat, and just sort of… hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促 ) them out of there. Because the servers weren’t working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and 饶平县 2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测英语科试题 第 3 页 共 8 页 leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner. 4．Why did the author wait? A．For their food. B．For their bill. C．For the servers. D．For a chat. 5．What made the author upset? A．Long waiting time. B．Poor dishes. C．No tipping culture. D．High prices. 6．How did the servers know when customers were ready to pay? A．By guessing. B．By asking directly. C．By waiting for a signal. D．By checking every few minutes. 7．What did the author learn on the last day? A．To tip the servers. B．To wait for a table. C．Local dining customs. D．How to signal to the servers. C Teaching cursive handwriting (草体书法) has declined in many school programs, causing concern among older generations. In Canadian provinces like Ontario and Alberta, cursive is not required, reflecting a broader trend of focusing on what handwriting communicates rather than the skill itself. Alberta’s 2018 new curriculum (课程) mentions cursive but does not identify it as a competence. Apart from a longing for the past before the digital era, there are good reasons for cursive to make a comeback. Researchers in handwriting and literacy found that fluency in printing and handwriting is crucial for literacy outcomes. Handwriting is an elegant witness to human literacy and a symbol of our unique communication abilities. Some argue that handwriting is irrelevant today, but it creates an internal model of letters that keyboarding does not. Research in neuroscience stresses the importance of automatic handwriting skills for reducing cognitive (认知的) load. By Grade 4, students face increased cognitive demands. Those with fluent handwriting have more working memory to organize and express complex ideas. In a study of Grade 4 students in Alberta, only half met the necessary handwriting level, which limits their ability to communicate complex vocabulary and ideas. Evidence of the power of cursive handwriting is notable and has lasted throughout history. The Bixby Letter, associated with Abraham Lincoln, demonstrates how handwriting conveys care and imagination. Malala Yousafzai, through her handwriting, symbolizes personal agency and advocacy. Anne Frank’s diary similarly highlights the close connection between handwriting and identity. These examples show how handwriting not only reflects the individuality of the writer but also has the ability to create a lasting impact. Ignoring cursive prevents children from having the confidence and expressive tools needed in a digital age. It’s high time people put cursive skills back on the school curricula to ensure that future generations can express themselves confidently and creatively. To improve literacy outcomes, schools should focus on teaching both printing and cursive handwriting from an early age. Teaching cursive 饶平县 2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测英语科试题 第 4 页 共 8 页 alongside fine motor skills and spelling is essential for building strong literacy foundations. 8．What is the present situation of cursive handwriting? A．It is unfamiliar to old generations. B．It is on the way to regaining popularity. C．It receives less attention in schools. D．It is putting printed texts in the shade. 9．How does fluent handwriting facilitate students’ communication? A．It eases their spelling difficulties. B．It frees up their mental capacity. C．It stimulates their study motivations. D．It meets their cognitive demands. 10．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Significance of cursive handwriting. B．Examples of good handwriting. C．Secrets hidden in personal letters. D．Expressions from famous figures. 11．Why should cursive handwriting be reintroduced in schools? A．To improve memory. B．To enhance creativity. C．To ensure confidence in expression. D．To develop digital skills. D China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride. Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry. However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable. In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers. 饶平县 2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测英语科试题 第 5 页 共 8 页 12．What makes Apollo Go popular among riders? A．Its extremely good service. B．Its relatively cheap service. C．Its completely automatical control. D．Unnecessary reservation in advance. 13．What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service? A．To count on official helps. B．To charge high fares initially. C．To cover a major part of the cost. D．To avoid financial involvement. 14．What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China? A．They will be limited to developed cities. B．They are expected to become profitable. C．They will face significant regulatory difficulties. D．They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles. 15．Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla? A．To make a comparison between them. B．To introduce competitors of Apollo Go. C．To present global situations of robotaxis. D．To explain reasons for the unemployment. 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2. 5分, 满分 12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 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。 Don’t Let Personality Types Define You Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBT), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories. Although these tests can provide useful insights, it’s important not to let them define or limit you. 16 . But people are complex. Our personalities can change over time, depending on experiences and growth. What the MBTI test reveals is just a snapshot of one’s preferences, not a complete definition of who you are. For example, if the test labels you as an “introvert” (性格内向的人), you may feel tempted to avoid social communication because you think it’s not in your nature to be outgoing. But you might find that your ability to enjoy social events increases over time. The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact. 17 Similarly, if you are categorized as a “thinking” type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational 18 Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships. Additionally, many people get caught up in the idea that their “type” limits their careers or personal choices. They might think, for instance, that an “introvert” would not be a good leader. 饶平县 2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测英语科试题 第 6 页 共 8 页 19 . Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making. Don’t let de MBTI label stop you from pursuing opportunities that feel right for you. Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. 20 . By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We are all more than the labels we receive. A．The reality is quite different. B．The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation. C．The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences. D．But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles. E．You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth. F．However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable. G．The MBTI system can sometimes prevent individuals from realizing their full potential. 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, 从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our autistic (自闭症的) daughter has special needs for beauty.

His heart was set on an abandoned golden retriever (金毛 寻回犬), and upon bringing the dog home, it quickly became an integral part of the man’s household. The dog was not only obedient but also friendly, earning the affection of all family members. However, the man began to notice a troubling behavior of the dog. Despite having a gate preventing the dog from entering the bedroom, every night, the dog would wait at the gate and watch his owner sleep. Initially attributing it to the dog adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings, the man hoped the behavior would cease over time. Yet, the dog persisted in this unusual vigil (守夜). Concerned about the dog’s well-being, the owner took various steps to address the behavior. He played with the dog extensively during the day, assuming that perhaps it wasn’t tired enough to sleep. Even after these efforts, the dog continued its habit of watching the family sleep, prompting the owner to seek professional advice. Taking the dog to a veterinary clinic, the owner learned that the dog’s physical health was in good condition. This left the man puzzled, as the mystery behind the dog’s sleep-watching habit remained unsolved. Determined to understand the root cause, he returned to the animal shelter where he had adopted the golden retriever, seeking insights from the staff. To his astonishment, the shelter staff revealed a heartbreaking truth about the dog’s past. The golden retriever had been abandoned by its previous owner when the owner’s wife became pregnant. Faced with the perceived challenges of raising both a dog and a baby, the former owner decided to leave the dog at the shelter. Struggling to part ways, he waited for the dog to fall asleep before transporting it to the shelter, sparing himself the pain of seeing the dog’s face as he left. 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。 When the dog woke up, he found himself in a totally foreign place. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Upon hearing this story, the current owner felt sad. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 饶平县2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测 英语科答题卷 、 语篇填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 6 2 7 4 9 5 10 三、 应用文写作(80词左右，满分15分)。 Chinese Traditional Food Festival 如数 雪 第1页 试卷总分 座位号 四、故事续写(150词左右，满分25分)。 When the dog woke up,he found himself in a totally foreign place.

In a study of Grade 4 students in Alberta, only half met the necessary handwriting level, which limits their ability to communicate complex vocabulary and ideas. Evidence of the power of cursive handwriting is notable and has lasted throughout history. The Bixby Letter, associated with Abraham Lincoln, demonstrates how handwriting conveys care and imagination. Malala Yousafzai, through her handwriting, symbolizes personal agency and advocacy. Anne Frank’s diary similarly highlights the close connection between handwriting and identity. These examples show how handwriting not only reflects the individuality of the writer but also has the ability to create a lasting impact. Ignoring cursive prevents children from having the confidence and expressive tools needed in a digital age. It’s high time people put cursive skills back on the school curricula to ensure that future generations can express themselves confidently and creatively. To improve literacy outcomes, schools should focus on teaching both printing and cursive handwriting from an early age. Teaching cursive alongside fine motor skills and spelling is essential for building strong literacy foundations. 8．What is the present situation of cursive handwriting? A．It is unfamiliar to old generations. B．It is on the way to regaining popularity. C．It receives less attention in schools. D．It is putting printed texts in the shade. 9．How does fluent handwriting facilitate students’ communication? A．It eases their spelling difficulties. B．It frees up their mental capacity. C．It stimulates their study motivations. D．It meets their cognitive demands. 10．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Significance of cursive handwriting. B．Examples of good handwriting. C．Secrets hidden in personal letters. D．Expressions from famous figures. 11．Why should cursive handwriting be reintroduced in schools? A．To improve memory. B．To enhance creativity. C．To ensure confidence in expression. D．To develop digital skills. D China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride. Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry. However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable. In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers. 12．What makes Apollo Go popular among riders? A．Its extremely good service. B．Its relatively cheap service. C．Its completely automatical control. D．Unnecessary reservation in advance. 13．What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service? A．To count on official helps. B．To charge high fares initially. C．To cover a major part of the cost. D．To avoid financial involvement. 14．What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China? A．They will be limited to developed cities. B．They are expected to become profitable. C．They will face significant regulatory difficulties. D．They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles. 15．Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla? A．To make a comparison between them. B．To introduce competitors of Apollo Go. C．To present global situations of robotaxis. D．To explain reasons for the unemployment. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 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。 Don’t Let Personality Types Define You Personality tests, especially the Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBT), are popular tools that many people use to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types based on four key categories. Although these tests can provide useful insights, it’s important not to let them define or limit you. 16 . But people are complex. Our personalities can change over time, depending on experiences and growth. What the MBTI test reveals is just a snapshot of one’s preferences, not a complete definition of who you are. For example, if the test labels you as an “introvert” (性格内向的人), you may feel tempted to avoid social communication because you think it’s not in your nature to be outgoing. But you might find that your ability to enjoy social events increases over time. The key is not to accept the label as an unchangeable fact. 17 Similarly, if you are categorized as a “thinking” type, it might lead you to believe that you are always rational 18 Emotional response is also an essential part of human nature, and embracing them can enhance your decision-making process and relationships. Additionally, many people get caught up in the idea that their “type” limits their careers or personal choices. They might think, for instance, that an “introvert” would not be a good leader. 19 . Many introverts achieve success through careful listening and thoughtful decision-making. Don’t let de MBTI label stop you from pursuing opportunities that feel right for you. Finally, one of the most important lessons we can learn from the MBTI is that we are not defined by one test or label. 20 . By focusing on our strengths and embracing the full complexity of our personalities, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We are all more than the labels we receive. A．The reality is quite different. B．The test results should be seen as a guide, not a limitation. C．The MBTI system provides a simple way to categorize individuals based on their preferences. D．But there are countless examples of introverts excelling in these types of roles. E．You should see it as a starting point for self-reflection and growth. F．However, it’s essential to understand that both parts of the personality are valuable. G．The MBTI system can sometimes prevent individuals from realizing their full potential. 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, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our autistic (自闭症的) daughter has special needs for beauty.

His heart was set on an abandoned golden retriever (金毛寻回犬), and upon bringing the dog home, it quickly became an integral part of the man’s household. The dog was not only obedient but also friendly, earning the affection of all family members. However, the man began to notice a troubling behavior of the dog. Despite having a gate preventing the dog from entering the bedroom, every night, the dog would wait at the gate and watch his owner sleep. Initially attributing it to the dog adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings, the man hoped the behavior would cease over time. Yet, the dog persisted in this unusual vigil (守夜). Concerned about the dog’s well-being, the owner took various steps to address the behavior. He played with the dog extensively during the day, assuming that perhaps it wasn’t tired enough to sleep. Even after these efforts, the dog continued its habit of watching the family sleep, prompting the owner to seek professional advice. Taking the dog to a veterinary clinic, the owner learned that the dog’s physical health was in good condition. This left the man puzzled, as the mystery behind the dog’s sleep-watching habit remained unsolved. Determined to understand the root cause, he returned to the animal shelter where he had adopted the golden retriever, seeking insights from the staff. To his astonishment, the shelter staff revealed a heartbreaking truth about the dog’s past. The golden retriever had been abandoned by its previous owner when the owner’s wife became pregnant. Faced with the perceived challenges of raising both a dog and a baby, the former owner decided to leave the dog at the shelter. Struggling to part ways, he waited for the dog to fall asleep before transporting it to the shelter, sparing himself the pain of seeing the dog’s face as he left. 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。 When the dog woke up, he found himself in a totally foreign place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon hearing this story, the current owner felt sad. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 饶平县2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测英语科试题 第 1 页 共 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 饶平县2025-2026学年度高中校际联考高三级第一次质量检测参考答案 英 语 第2部分 阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分） 1-5 ADDBA 6-10 CCCBA 11-15 CBCBC 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 16-20 CEFDB 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） 21-25 CADAB 26-30 BCDCD 31-35ADACD 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分 ，满分15分） 36． who 37．Covering 38．is known 39．significance 40．completely 41． the 42．It 43．selfless 44．Surrounded 45．to view 第3部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Chinese Traditional Food Festival Our school is thrilled to announce the Chinese Traditional Food Festival, a cultural activity designed for international students.

So scared was he that he kept running around, looking for his owner, but in vain. A surge of despair swept over the poor dog. It had never occurred to him that he would be abandoned. For a long time, he just sat there silently, staring into the distance, in hopes that the owner would come back and take him away. Day after day, his hope faded away. “It is likely that the painful experience leads to the dog’s lack of trust in humans,” the staff in the shelter told the man. Upon hearing this story, the current owner felt sad. Now he could fully understand the dog and his strange behavior. “Perhaps I could do something to rebuild the dog’s trust in humans,” the man thought to himself. On arriving home, the man removed the gate from his bedroom door, allowing the dog to sleep in the same room. It wasn’t long before the dog built trust in his new owner. It was the owner’s small act that brought love and warmth back to the dog again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
