The Guadalupe River overflowed, flooding neighborhoods and washing away roads and bridges. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes. Officials say this is the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Below is the breakdown of damages by county. County Economic Losses Buildings Damaged Hunt $28 million 85 (including 12 historic structures) Kerr $15 million 62 (including 3 bridges, 2 historic buildings) Comal $5 million 34 (including 2 highways) Blanco $2 million 18 (including 1 historic building) Below were key updates as of Friday night. 1. Casualties & Emergency Response The floods have killed 24 people, and 25 campers from Camp Mystic remain missing as searches continue. Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. 2. Challenges Rescue teams struggled to reach isolated communities as flooded roads and downed power lines blocked access, delaying critical aid. To make matters worse, early weather warnings had underestimated the flood's severity, leaving residents little time to reach safety. 3. Government Response Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick noted communication outages likely delayed locating missing campers. 4. Recovery Outlook The Red Cross has set up 12 shelters, helping more than 1,200 displaced families. Environmental agencies warn that flooded factories could cause pollution. Meanwhile, transportation officials say highway repairs may take weeks. 1. Which county was most severely affected in the floods? A. Hunt. B. Kerr. C. Comal. D. Blanco. 2. How many people have been saved by emergency crews as of Friday night? A. 49. B. 237. C. 500. D. 1200. 3. What did Governor Greg Abbott do in response to the disaster? A Ordered search-and-rescue operations. B. Raised emergency funds for recovery. C. Established shelters for affected families. D. Declared a state of emergency disaster. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了德克萨斯州中部因连日暴雨引发危险洪水的情况，包括洪水造成的损失、人员伤亡、救援情况、面临的挑战、政府应对措施以及恢复前景等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中各郡的经济损失和受损建筑数量，Hunt郡的经济损失为2800万美元，受损建筑85座（包括12座历史建筑），在经济损失和受损建筑数量上均高于其他郡。因此，Hunt郡受洪水影响最为严重。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Casualties & Emergency Response”部分中的“Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. (包括得克萨斯州国民警卫队在内的紧急救援人员使用直升机救出了237人，此次救援得到了来自联邦机构（包括联邦紧急事务管理局和美国海岸警卫队）的500多名人员的支援，这些人员目前正在受影响地区提供协助)”可知，截至周五晚上，紧急救援人员已救出237人。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Government Response”部分中的“Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. (Greg Abbott州长为得克萨斯州中部的15个县发布了紧急灾难声明，以加快用于灾后恢复工作的州政府资金拨付)”可知，州长Greg Abbott为德克萨斯州中部的15个郡发布了紧急灾难声明。故选D项。 B In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了在伦敦卡姆登区一条安静的小巷里，一位50多岁的中国移民Lena Wong经营着一个特别的果蔬摊。这个摊位采用诚信付款制，多数商品定价 1 英镑，而她这么做是为了帮助那些吃不饱的年轻人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. (但在卡姆登区的核心地带，这个摊位之所以更加引人注目，是因为它采用诚信付款制——顾客只需把硬币扔进一个旧邮箱即可，而且在这个新鲜食材通常售价高得多的街区，这里出售的大部分商品标价仅为1英镑。)”可知，这个摊位特别之处在于它采用诚信付款制度，顾客把钱扔进旧邮箱即可。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. (Lena Wong天不亮就起床，准备去她位于伦敦郊外恩菲尔德的小块菜园干活。根据季节不同，她会收获洋葱、茄子、青椒等蔬菜。此外，她每周还要在一家养老院上几个夜班，以补贴她和丈夫并不丰厚的薪水)”可知，Lena Wong黎明前就起床去菜园干活，每周还要在养老院上几个夜班，这说明她工作时间很长。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. (这一切始于某一天，当时她正在恩菲尔德卖农产品，一位年轻顾客说他挣的钱几乎不够买食物)”可知，是一个吃不饱饭的年轻人激励了Lena Wong去帮助别人。故选B项。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” (“我不忍心想到年轻人饿着肚子四处奔波，”Lena Wong说。于是，一个念头就此萌生。“我想让年轻人觉得他们没有被遗忘，他们是被珍惜的，”她说，“不是每个人都只为自己着想。我什么时候都能挣钱，现在，我想帮年轻人一把)”并结合全文内容可知，Lena Wong开设摊位，以低廉的价格向年轻人提供果蔬，还想用这种方式让年轻人感受到被关心，由此可判断她是心地善良的人。故选A项。 C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了TQ（科技商数）的概念，阐述了在科技无处不在的当今时代，理解和运用技术的能力（TQ）正变得与IQ和EQ一样重要，并将成为定义个人成功的关键因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (它就像一种超能力，能让人理解最新的科技事物——这些事物对我们的曾祖父母来说，无疑是难以想象的。拥有高技术商数（TQ），意味着你擅长运用那些眼下还未被所有人熟知的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. (TQ试图量化我们合理利用现有技术、并快速适应、接纳和利用未来创造的能力)”可知，TQ指的是应用新技术的能力。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (拥有高TQ意味着你非常擅长使用那些还不是人人都知道的新奇事物)”和第三段所举例子“For the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. (对临床医生来说，它可能是人工智能在辅助分析CT扫描中的作用)”可知，能够利用AI辅助分析CT扫描的医生，正是擅长运用前沿新技术的典型例子，因此他拥有高TQ。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. (随着TQ的提升，它将与IQ和EQ结合，重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式——将对技术的适应能力转变为一种可衡量的优势)”可知，作者认为TQ的提升能带来竞争优势，并将其与IQ、EQ并列，视为未来成功的关键。因此作者对TQ持积极的态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? (新时代需要新的词汇。当所有手机都具备移动功能，或是当手机被植入我们体内时，我们还会称呼它为“移动”电话吗？)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇以新时代需要新词汇引出话题，接着第二段定义了TQ的概念，第三段举例说明TQ的应用并强调其重要性，第四段将其与IQ、EQ类比，指出其将成为定义未来成功的关键方面，末段总结TQ将结合IQ、EQ重塑我们的生活。全文核心围绕“是什么使TQ成为一种新的智力商数”展开。故选C项。 D Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples. 13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement. C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction. 14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To advocate reducing traffic. B. To preserve wildlife diversity. C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了道路对野生动物产生的多方面影响，包括道路致死、阻碍迁徙、造成污染以及形成生态陷阱等，同时也提到了动物在交通减少时的适应能力和某些物种的适应性变化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. (通过进化，动物发展出了许多保护自己免受捕食者伤害的方法。乌龟躲在壳里，臭鼬使用有臭味的液体。)”可知，作者在第一段通过列举乌龟和臭鼬保护自己的例子开启全文。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence” — a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. (道路还起到了屏障的作用，阻碍动物自由活动。高速公路上川流不息的车辆形成了科学家们所说的“移动围栏”——一道由车辆组成的墙，动物们会避开穿越这道墙。)”可知，道路对野生动物的有害影响之一是限制了它们的活动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” (他指出，芝加哥的都市狐狸过马路时据说会左右张望。“我们总把道路看作对动物普遍或唯一有害的力量，它们确实极具破坏性，”他说，“但野生动物也展现出惊人的适应能力和智慧，许多动物正在我们身边找到生存之道。”)”可知，从Goldfarb的话中可以推断出动物能聪明地适应危险的道路环境。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” (但这些防御手段在汽车面前毫无用处，甚至还会带来危害。环境记者Ben Goldfarb解释道：“面对汽车时，这些防御方法不仅没用，甚至可能有害。一动不动是最糟糕的选择。道路致死是野生动物面临的一个严重威胁。”)”并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕道路对野生动物的影响展开，依次阐述了公路导致的路杀现象以及公路阻碍动物迁徙、带来化学污染、形成“生态陷阱”等负面影响，同时也提到了部分物种的适应性调整。整体是在分析公路对野生动物多方面的影响。故选C项。 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。 Successful team collaboration is essential for achieving complex goals.

G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出团队有效协作对实现复杂目标至关重要，介绍了四条策略：明确目标与职责、促进开放尊重沟通、建设性处理冲突、善用成员多样优势，还提及定期沟通反馈。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Every team member needs a shared understanding of the project’s objectives and their specific responsibilities. This prevents misunderstandings and ensures accountability. Ambiguity in roles often leads to repeated efforts, overlooked tasks, and frustration. Clearly outlining expectations from the outset sets the stage for productive work.(每个团队成员都需要对项目的目标以及各自的具体职责达成共识。这可以避免误解，并确保责任明确。角色职责的模糊不清往往会导致重复工作、遗漏任务以及产生不满情绪。从一开始就清晰地明确期望，能够为高效的工作奠定基础)”可知，后文详细讨论了角色模糊会导致重复劳动、任务遗漏等问题，强调从开始就明确期望。选项A“明确设定目标和职责”作为小标题完美引入该部分。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Create an environment where team members feel safe to share ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns without fear of judgment.(营造一种氛围，让团队成员能够放心地分享想法、提出问题和表达担忧，同时不必担心受到批评)”以及后文“Actively listening to understand different viewpoints, rather than just waiting to speak, is crucial for building trust and finding the best solutions.(积极倾听以理解不同的观点，而非仅仅等待发言，这对于建立信任以及找到最佳解决方案至关重要)”可知，本句是在强调沟通的作用。故C项“有效的沟通是任何强大团队协作体系的基础”最符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“New conflicts as opportunities to explore different perspectives and improve outcomes. The goal should be to understand the root cause and find a mutually acceptable resolution. Focusing on the issue at hand, not personal attacks, and seeking common ground helps the team move forward positively.(新的冲突其实也是探索不同观点、改善结果的机会。我们的目标应当是找出根本原因，并找到一个双方都能接受的解决方案。专注于当前的问题，而非进行人身攻击，同时寻求共识，这有助于团队朝着积极的方向前进)”可知，本句直接引入冲突的正面处理方式，承认分歧的存在但强调其建设性，与后文的“机会”和“共同解决”一致。选项E“团队中分歧不可避免，但不一定是破坏性的”作为主题句，有效衔接标题“Address conflicts constructively”(建设性处理冲突)。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Recognize that each member brings unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table.(要认识到每位成员都具备独特的技能、丰富的经验和独特的见解)”以及后文“Assigning tasks based on individual strengths not only improves efficiency but also increases engagement and satisfaction.(根据个人优势分配任务不仅能提高效率，还能增强参与度和满意度)”可知，本句是前文的自然延伸，解释了如何将“差异”转化为行动，从而引出后文的“任务分配”。选项F的“differences”指代前文的“unique skills”，逻辑连贯。选项F“有意地探讨并规划这些差异，以最大限度地发挥团队的潜力。”符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Constructive feedback, both on the work and the process, should be encouraged.(应当鼓励对工作内容以及工作过程都给予建设性的反馈)”可知，本句解释定期反馈的好处，代词“This”指代前文的“feedback loops”(反馈循环)，并总结该策略的价值。选项G“这使得团队能快速调整，确保每个人与整体目标保持一致”作为段落结论句，强化了反馈的重要性。故选G。 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) When Rex turned 18, he felt lost and unsure about his future. ____21____ graduated from high school, he was confronted with the daunting task of choosing a career path.

This is a lesson I learned all too well because I made a wrong decision for my strong desire to get attention. My name is Vimukthi and at 15 years old, I did well in my studies yet longed for popularity among my classmates. Despite my academic achievements, I felt unnoticed. Even though my mother always told me to stay true to who I am and take advantage of my talents to lift others, the desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a serious mistake. Once, I heard someone talk about a faraway relative who worked a little in publishing. So I decided to make up a story, hoping it would make me the center of attention. I boasted (吹嘘) to my classmates that I had an uncle who was a famous writer. I told them he had many old books with leather covers and an old typewriter. I called the typewriter an ‌“antique treasure”. I also made up the story of his new book called Shadowed Legends. To my surprise, everyone believed it. At lunch, classmates came close to me and asked for more information. I drew fake (假的) signed book covers and put them on my desk. They thought they were real. I even wrote letters and said they were from my uncle. The letters had advice about writing, but I actually got the advice from our literature teacher, Mr. Jayasuriya. For a week, I enjoyed the attention a lot. But lies are like weeds-they grow fast and hide the truth. The more I lied, the harder it was to keep the story going. I felt stressed and guilty every day. One afternoon, Mr. Jayasuriya asked me to share ‌“my uncle’s” writing tips with the class. I was fearful and spoke awkwardly, my face turning red. For the whole afternoon, I was restless. 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。 Mom sensed my nervousness that evening. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, I gathered my courage to tell the truth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mom sensed my nervousness that evening. She sat me down and asked gently, ‌“What’s troubling you, my dear?” At first, I hesitated, but her warm smile made me feel safe. I burst into tears and explained everything — the lies about the uncle, the fake letters, and the heavy guilt I’d carried. She listened quietly and hugged me, saying, ‌“Everyone makes mistakes, but the bravest thing is to fix them. True strength comes from honesty.” Hearing that, I realized that I should do something right. Therefore, that night, I made a decision. The next morning, I gathered my courage to tell the truth. In a shaky voice, I told my classmates I had made up the story about my uncle and the reason why I did it. The room fell silent, and I waited for the outburst of anger. To my surprise, Mr. Jayasuriya didn’t blame me. Instead, he said patiently, ‌“Vimukthi, true popularity isn’t built on stories. It’s rooted in honesty and the courage to let others see who you really are.” From then on, everything changed. I no longer struggled with how to be ‌“popular”. Instead, I started enjoying real friendships. Mom was right — honesty isn’t just about telling the truth; it’s about freeing your heart to let others in. And that’s the most powerful kind of recognition. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Vimukthi为了获得同学关注编造有个著名作家叔叔的谎言，随着谎言的蔓延，他感到压力和内疚，最终决定面对真相。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上妈妈感觉到了我的紧张。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈察觉到作者的不安后与作者沟通，作者向妈妈坦白了一切，妈妈给予了安慰和鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，我鼓起勇气说出了真相。”可知，第二段可描写作者向同学们坦白后，他们的反应以及作者的感受，同时也体现了诚实的重要性。 2. 续写线索：妈妈察觉作者紧张——作者向妈妈坦白——妈妈安慰鼓励作者——作者向同学们坦白——同学们的反应——作者的感受 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①使烦恼：trouble/bother ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③编造：make up/fabricate  情绪类 ①勇敢的：brave/courageous ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing that, I realized that I should do something right.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语和that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] In a shaky voice, I told my classmates I had made up the story about my uncle and the reason why I did it.(运用了省略连词that的宾语从句和关系副词why引导的限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] It’s rooted in honesty and the courage to let others see who you really are.(运用了连接副词who引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 永城市高级中学2026届高三第一次模拟联考 英语试题 第二部分：阅读理解(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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Days of heavy rain caused dangerous flooding in central Texas on Friday. The Guadalupe River overflowed, flooding neighborhoods and washing away roads and bridges. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes. Officials say this is the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Below is the breakdown of damages by county. County Economic Losses Buildings Damaged Hunt $28 million 85 (including 12 historic structures) Kerr $15 million 62 (including 3 bridges, 2 historic buildings) Comal $5 million 34 (including 2 highways) Blanco $2 million 18 (including 1 historic building) Below were key updates as of Friday night. 1. Casualties & Emergency Response The floods have killed 24 people, and 25 campers from Camp Mystic remain missing as searches continue. Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. 2. Challenges Rescue teams struggled to reach isolated communities as flooded roads and downed power lines blocked access, delaying critical aid. To make matters worse, early weather warnings had underestimated the flood's severity, leaving residents little time to reach safety. 3. Government Response Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick noted communication outages likely delayed locating missing campers. 4. Recovery Outlook The Red Cross has set up 12 shelters, helping more than 1,200 displaced families. Environmental agencies warn that flooded factories could cause pollution. Meanwhile, transportation officials say highway repairs may take weeks. 1. Which county was most severely affected in the floods? A. Hunt. B. Kerr. C. Comal. D. Blanco. 2. How many people have been saved by emergency crews as of Friday night? A. 49. B. 237. C. 500. D. 1200. 3. What did Governor Greg Abbott do in response to the disaster? A. Ordered search-and-rescue operations. B. Raised emergency funds for recovery. C. Established shelters for affected families. D. Declared a state of emergency disaster. B In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? D Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples. 13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement. C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction. 14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A To advocate reducing traffic. B. To preserve wildlife diversity. C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals. 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。 Successful team collaboration is essential for achieving complex goals.

This is a lesson I learned all too well because I made a wrong decision for my strong desire to get attention. My name is Vimukthi and at 15 years old, I did well in my studies yet longed for popularity among my classmates. Despite my academic achievements, I felt unnoticed. Even though my mother always told me to stay true to who I am and take advantage of my talents to lift others, the desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a serious mistake. Once I heard someone talk about a faraway relative who worked a little in publishing. So I decided to make up a story, hoping it would make me the center of attention. I boasted (吹嘘) to my classmates that I had an uncle who was a famous writer. I told them he had many old books with leather covers and an old typewriter. I called the typewriter an ‌“antique treasure”. I also made up the story of his new book called Shadowed Legends. To my surprise, everyone believed it. At lunch, classmates came close to me and asked for more information. I drew fake (假的) signed book covers and put them on my desk. They thought they were real. I even wrote letters and said they were from my uncle. The letters had advice about writing, but I actually got the advice from our literature teacher, Mr. Jayasuriya. For a week, I enjoyed the attention a lot. But lies are like weeds-they grow fast and hide the truth. The more I lied, the harder it was to keep the story going. I felt stressed and guilty every day. One afternoon, Mr. Jayasuriya asked me to share ‌“my uncle’s” writing tips with the class. I was fearful and spoke awkwardly, my face turning red. For the whole afternoon, I was restless. 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。 Mom sensed my nervousness that evening. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, I gathered my courage to tell the truth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
