I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes. The situation changed one day when Adam, my best friend, came to my room. He succeeded in persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains. This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. Adam knew how to save energy. When we finally got to the top nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes. This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges. I realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year. 21. What a person did the author use to be before his first hike to the Rocky Mountains? A. One enjoyed hiking in the mountains. B. One felt comfortable in his hometown. C. One liked persuading others. D. One was good at talking with others. 22. What made the author unhappy during his first hike? A. Feeling tired during the hike. B. Not taking a camera with him. C. Having to climb for a long time. D. The heavy fog covering everything. 23. How did the author most probably feel after the hike? A. Disappointed. B. Comfortable. C. Encouraged. D. Confused. B Everyone feels unhappy sometimes. But it’s not a good idea to stay in those bad feelings. If you learn how to keep yourself happy, you’ll likely avoid a lot of problems. Talk to your parents, friends or teachers, and tell them what is going on. It is amazing how much better you feel after talking about your problems. Play a sport you enjoy. This will improve your mood. Hang out with people you like. You don’t have to do anything special, because they will likely help take your mind off your unhappiness. Keep a “Happy Moments” journal where you record your best memories, successes, achievements, and the moments you felt great. When you feel down, read them and remember how great you are. Go for a 15-minute run, then take a nice shower, and pick out a new movie to relax yourself! Eat ice-cream, go out for a walk, see new things, and feel how lucky you are when compared with other sick people. Do something crazy. Dance in the dark. Scream as loud as you can. Eat a big bowl of something you know you shouldn’t. Talk to the wall... The sudden burst of energy can lift you up. Think about your goals in life, and how happy you’ll be when you complete them. 24. If you want to keep yourself happy you can’t ________ according to the passage. A. stay in bed alone B. talk with your friends C. play a sport you like 25. What does the underlined word “journal” probably mean in English? A. travel B. newspaper C. diary 26. If you feel sad, you can spend ________ running to relax. A. one hour B. half an hour C. a quarter of an hour 27. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how to succeed B. how to stay happy C. what to do with goals C Birdcages are the treasure of Kala village 卡拉鸟笼： 美美民族风，浓浓非遗范 Birds have been closely related to big harvests in the culture of the Miao ethnic group. The Miao people have loved birds for generations. That’s why people see delicate (精致的) birdcages hanging in front of many households in the Miao villages. “The Miao people love birds so much that they even bring their birds with them while working hard in the fields,” said Wang Qiu, a 35-year-old inheritor (传承者) of the Kala birdcage-making craft. “Even if they slip (滑倒), the birdcages they carry carefully remain fine.” Located in the northeast of Danzhai county, Guizhou province, Kala village is famous for its time-honored cage-weaving craft, which dates back over 400 years. In 2009, it was listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guizhou. “Kala birdcages are famous for their remarkable firmness,” explained Wang. “Each cage is carefully crafted from the sturdy moso bamboo (结实的楠竹) and the flexible water bamboo (柔韧的水竹). The former provides hardness, while the latter contributes resilience (韧性), resulting in a cage that is durable.” After marrying her husband in Kala village, Wang was attracted by the excellent cage-weaving craft there. Wang Yuhe, her father-in-law and a Kala birdcage-making inheritor, taught her everything he knew about the craft. As a member of the younger generation, Wang Qiu injects vigor (活力) into the centuries-old craft. “With the growing awareness of wildlife protection, the population of people who hunt and raise birds has been decreasing, so has been the need for birdcages,” said Wang. “So, I decided to combine closely art with everyday life, meeting the needs of a broader range of consumers.” Wang designs and makes everyday items, from bookshelves and lampshades (灯罩) to graceful earrings in the shape of Kala birdcages. In her efforts to show Kala birdcages to a wider audience, Wang has been sharing videos of her skills on social media. “I hope that my videos can attract more people and get them to learn about the fascinating skills of Kala village as well as the splendid culture of the Miao people.” 28. According to the article, why do Miao people hang birdcages in front of their households? A. To attract birds. B. To celebrate big harvests. C. To show love for birds. D. To show off their craftsmanship. 29. What are Kala birdcages known for? A. Their attractive appearances. B. Their long-lasting quality. C. Their collectible value. D. Their complex craftwork. 30. What does the second to last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Difficulties in selling Kala birdcages. B. The increasing public interest in Kala birdcages. C. Wang’s creativity in connecting her craft to daily life. D. The excellent craftsmanship shown in Wang’s works. 31. How does Wang promote the craft of Kala birdcages? A. By teaching students in schools. B. By simplifying cage-weaving skills. C. By selling Kala birdcages online. D. By sharing videos on social media. D Loneliness has become a global health threat “孤独”成全球健康杀手 Do you feel lonely? Don’t rush to a “no” answer just yet — the World Health Organization (WHO) recently addressed loneliness as a pressing health threat. It called for countries and organizations to make social connections a priority. Loneliness, although commonly described as the state of being alone, is actually a state of mind marked by feelings of isolation (孤独) despite wanting social connections. So, people who are lonely usually experience the emotional pain of not being connected with others. Solitude (独处), on the other hand, is voluntary (自愿的). People who enjoy spending time by themselves continue to maintain positive social relationships that they can return to when they want connection, according to the Verywell Mind website. Social isolation impacts the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. According to the WHO, one in four old people experience social isolation. Among adolescents (青少年), between 5 and 15 percent experience loneliness, but the numbers are likely to be underestimations (低估), said the organization. “Young people are not immune (不受影响的) to loneliness. Social isolation can affect anyone, of any age, anywhere,” said Chido Mpemba, African Union youth envoy, in the WHO’s press release on loneliness. In terms of teenagers, social disconnection can lead to poorer education outcomes since young people who have experienced loneliness in high school are more likely to drop out of university. Lack of social connection carries an equivalent risk of early death with other better-known risk factors such as smoking, obesity (肥胖) and air pollution, or potentially even greater. Loneliness has a far-reaching impact comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes (香烟) a day, according to a 2017 study. Previous studies have shown that loneliness has been linked to anxiety and depression and can increase the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. A 2015 study looked at the immune systems of its participants who were identified as lonely. It showed that they tend to have more inflammation (炎症) and less immunity, which can be a result of feeling stressed due to loneliness. To tackle this crisis, the WHO launched the Commission on Social Connection, which will hold its first leadership meeting from Dec 6 to 8 to outline solutions to build social connections at scale. 32. What can we learn about people experiencing loneliness from the text? A. They prefer solitude over social interaction. B. They feel lacking in social connection. C. They feel other people isolate them on purpose. D. They struggle to maintain social relationships. 33. How does loneliness affect people of different ages, according to WHO? A. It is harder for older people to get rid of it. B. Teenagers are usually not influenced by it. C. People can suffer from it regardless of their age. D. Adults experience it primarily due to workplace stress. 34. How does the author explain the impact of loneliness on health? A. By citing previous studies. B. By asking the readers some questions. C. By interviewing lonely people. D. By comparing it with other diseases. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To raise awareness about loneliness. B. To give advice on how to prevent social isolation. C. To stress the need for mental health evaluations. D. To warn people of diseases related to loneliness. 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。 Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. ___36___ By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come. ___37___ The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. ___38___ If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs. Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. ___39___ If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures. Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. ___40___ This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot. With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home. A. However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well. B. Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma. C. But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques. D. Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches. E. Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow. F. Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth. G. Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding. 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) 阅读短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。 The American writer and humorist Mark Twain once said, “I never let schooling interfere with my education.” Well, as someone who lived in the 19th century and left school at the age of twelve, this was an easy ____41____ for him to make — today, perhaps not so much. Back then, schooling meant ____42____ learning to read, write, and do arithmetic (算术). These basic skills were enough to enable an individual to ____43____ in those simpler times and, if they were curious and had access to books, like Mark Twain, they could educate themselves. Education is a little more complicated and ____44____ these days. We need far more ____45____ in order to cope with and succeed in the modern world, and schools still play a big role in helping us achieve these ends. However, there are some, like Yuval Noah Harari, who are concerned that schools will no longer ____46____ prepare students for the future. Harari is a professor of history who, ironically, thinks a lot about the future. What students are being taught in schools today, he argues in one of his books, will be ____47____ to them in a few years’ time. He even thinks that technology will be used to ____48____ our bodies and brains. As a result, we will end up becoming half human and half robot hybrids (混合物). Harari might be right, but I for one hope he is wrong. The prospect of humans becoming little more than cyber-bees buzzing around an economic hive does not ____49____ me. What Harari seems to dismiss is the ____50____ of human beings, what is called the “dignity of man”. When I think of those words, Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David immediately springs to mind. It ____51____ the grace and strength of the human body, but it is David’s head, slightly turned to the side, that truly draws our attention. It is a strong, handsome face that looks into the future with absolute confidence. What a man! Would one of Harari’s future cyber-bees be able to create such a work of art? I certainly ____52____ it. Schools have an obligation to teach you ____53____ things, such as language skills and technical skills, but more importantly, they play a significant part in teaching you how to become a thoughtful and well-rounded human being. History and literature teach us that, while times change, the essential nature of human beings is ____54____. Today, we still have the same emotions, passions and desires as our ancestors. Will all of these human qualities get out of date and disappear in the future? Harari thinks so, but I still put my ____55____ in the “dignity of man”. Who wants to be a cyber-bee, anyway? 41. A. complaint B. decision C. impression D. statement 42. A. hardly B. merely C. rarely D. slightly 43. A. communicate B. function C. multiply D. survive 44. A. challenging B. demanding C. entertaining D. exhausting 45. A. freedom B. knowledge C. materials D. opportunities 46. A. adequately B. carefully C. equally D. positively 47. A. available B. beneficial C. harmful D. useless 48. A. modify B. resolve C. stimulate D. symbolize 49. A. agree with B. allow for C. appeal to D. worry about 50. A. commitment B. enthusiasm C. generosity D. uniqueness 51. A. concludes B. expresses C. provides D. promotes 52. A. believe B. doubt C. know D. wonder 53. A. artificial B. general C. practical D. profitable 54. A. constant B. regular C. temporary D. punctual 55. A. effort B. faith C. need D. pride 第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 语法填空 Competitive Sports and Mass Sports Soccer, boxing, badminton, marathon, skiing, gymnastics and track and field, there seem to be hundreds of sports for us. In stadiums, gyms, or homes, we can work out ___56___ (sweat) all over. Competitive sports mean that athletes must compete ___57___ each other for medals in champions or Olympics to win honour and glory for their country, ___58___needs not only skills and strength but also great ___59___(determine). However, success often comes along with stress, failure and injuries. Sometimes even a master will fall apart, ___60___he never loses heart. Finally he makes ___61___ and becomes a legend. ___62___(compare) with competitive sports, many sports focus on fitness rather than competition. Millions of people go jogging or do push-ups to keep slim instead of going on a diet by ___63___(cut) out fat. However, with no audience to shout encouragement, they may give up. They cheat themselves into taking exercise the next day or pretend ___64___(do) it otherwise, which doesn’t make sense. However, even if you take exercise now and then, it ___65___(make) a difference and have positive effects, won’t it? 第四部分写作(共两节、满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 你校学生会将举办一次以中医药(traditional Chinese medicine)为主题的英语演讲比赛，请你用英语写一个书面通知。内容包括： 1.比赛目的； 2.比赛时间及地点：5月4 日下午3点，报告厅； 3.报名时间及地点：4月26日～4月30日，学生会办公室。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 From Code And Arm To Care And Action In a senior high school, Mr. Hurd’s hands-on workshop was alive-robotic arms clicking and lines of code (代码) flashing on screens. Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2026届2025年暑期提升第二次月考 英语试卷 考次标识： ▭▬▬▭▬▬▭▬▬ 考试日期：2025年08月 注意事项 1. 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前,务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 3. 答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔填涂对应题目的答案标号，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 4. 答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 5. 考试结束后,将答题卡、试卷、草稿纸全部交回。 ▼预祝你们考试成功▲ 请考生注意：所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 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，你将有两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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who might Tony be?

W: You won the World Living Statue Championships recently. Could you tell us something about that? M: Um, for the World Championships I was a stone statue, and I painted in those tiny marks so that I looked like a kind of old, almost falling apart statue, and I think the judges really appreciated that. W: Yep, I get it. So what is the point of doing this job? M: The point really is the connection you make with your audience. When you make a tiny movement they tend to explode with laughter. And it’s that interaction between the audience and the performer that’s really what it’s all about. W: And what is the secret of being a good living statue? M: Firstly, never try and perform on an empty stomach. If you get hungry, you can start to feel light-headed, so you always need to eat something first. Well, good stomach muscles are key, too. You need to have them to hold those positions. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. Where is the speaker? A. In a park. B. In a zoo. C. In a museum. 19.

I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes. The situation changed one day when Adam, my best friend, came to my room. He succeeded in persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains. This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. Adam knew how to save energy. When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes. This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges. I realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year. 21. What a person did the author use to be before his first hike to the Rocky Mountains? A. One enjoyed hiking in the mountains. B. One felt comfortable in his hometown. C. One liked persuading others. D. One was good at talking with others. 22. What made the author unhappy during his first hike? A. Feeling tired during the hike. B. Not taking a camera with him. C. Having to climb for a long time. D. The heavy fog covering everything. 23. How did the author most probably feel after the hike? A. Disappointed. B. Comfortable. C. Encouraged. D. Confused. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者第一次去落基山脉徒步的经历，这次经历让他的想法改变了。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere.(在我第一次徒步去落基山脉之前，我是一个宅男。我有朋友一起出去玩，有一些爱好，在家乡待上几周甚至几个月而不去任何地方，我觉得很舒服。)”可知，在第一次到落基山脉徒步之前，作者一个人在家乡感觉很舒服。故选B。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see.(这是我第一次到山里来，所以我四处张望。不幸的是，天气大部分时间都是雾蒙蒙的，我们爬得越高，我们能看到的就越少)”以及第四段“When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos.(当我们最终到达山顶时，一切都没有真正改变。同样的雾笼罩着一切。我感到很失望，因为我希望从上面看到风景并拍一些照片。)”可推知，爬山时浓雾笼罩一切，看不见景色，这让作者不开心。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes.(直到那时我才知道山看起来有多美。有那么一会儿我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛)”及下一段“This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges.(这段经历激励我突破自己的局限，接受新的挑战)”可知，在徒步时作者看到了意想不到的美景，结束之后，受到了鼓舞。故选C。 B Everyone feels unhappy sometimes. But it’s not a good idea to stay in those bad feelings. If you learn how to keep yourself happy, you’ll likely avoid a lot of problems. Talk to your parents, friends or teachers, and tell them what is going on. It is amazing how much better you feel after talking about your problems. Play a sport you enjoy. This will improve your mood. Hang out with people you like. You don’t have to do anything special, because they will likely help take your mind off your unhappiness. Keep a “Happy Moments” journal where you record your best memories, successes, achievements, and the moments you felt great. When you feel down, read them and remember how great you are. Go for a 15-minute run, then take a nice shower, and pick out a new movie to relax yourself! Eat ice-cream, go out for a walk, see new things, and feel how lucky you are when compared with other sick people. Do something crazy. Dance in the dark. Scream as loud as you can. Eat a big bowl of something you know you shouldn’t. Talk to the wall... The sudden burst of energy can lift you up. Think about your goals in life, and how happy you’ll be when you complete them. 24. If you want to keep yourself happy, you can’t ________ according to the passage. A. stay in bed alone B. talk with your friends C. play a sport you like 25.

If you learn how to keep yourself happy, you’ll likely avoid a lot of problems.(但沉浸在那些糟糕的情绪中不是个好主意。如果你学会如何让自己快乐，你可能会避免很多问题。)”以及第二段中的“Talk to your parents, friends or teachers, and tell them what is going on. (和你的父母、朋友或老师聊聊，告诉他们正在发生什么事。)”和第三段中的“Play a sport you enjoy.(做一项你喜欢的运动)”可知，独自躺在床上沉浸在坏情绪中无法让自己快乐。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“where you record your best memories, successes, achievements, and the moments you felt great.(在那里你记录下你最美好的回忆、成功、成就以及你感觉很棒的时刻。)”可知，“journal”是用来记录事情的，所以划线单词的意思与“diary（日记）”意义相近，符合语境。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Go for a 15-minute run, then take a nice shower, and pick out a new movie to relax yourself!(去跑15分钟，然后好好洗个澡，挑一部新电影放松一下！)”可知，感到难过时，可以花15分钟（一刻钟）跑步来放松。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“Everyone feels unhappy sometimes.

The Miao people have loved birds for generations. That’s why people see delicate (精致的) birdcages hanging in front of many households in the Miao villages. “The Miao people love birds so much that they even bring their birds with them while working hard in the fields,” said Wang Qiu, a 35-year-old inheritor (传承者) of the Kala birdcage-making craft. “Even if they slip (滑倒), the birdcages they carry carefully remain fine.” Located in the northeast of Danzhai county, Guizhou province, Kala village is famous for its time-honored cage-weaving craft, which dates back over 400 years. In 2009, it was listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guizhou. “Kala birdcages are famous for their remarkable firmness,” explained Wang. “Each cage is carefully crafted from the sturdy moso bamboo (结实的楠竹) and the flexible water bamboo (柔韧的水竹). The former provides hardness, while the latter contributes resilience (韧性), resulting in a cage that is durable.” After marrying her husband in Kala village, Wang was attracted by the excellent cage-weaving craft there. Wang Yuhe, her father-in-law and a Kala birdcage-making inheritor, taught her everything he knew about the craft. As a member of the younger generation, Wang Qiu injects vigor (活力) into the centuries-old craft. “With the growing awareness of wildlife protection, the population of people who hunt and raise birds has been decreasing, so has been the need for birdcages,” said Wang. “So, I decided to combine closely art with everyday life, meeting the needs of a broader range of consumers.” Wang designs and makes everyday items, from bookshelves and lampshades (灯罩) to graceful earrings in the shape of Kala birdcages. In her efforts to show Kala birdcages to a wider audience, Wang has been sharing videos of her skills on social media. “I hope that my videos can attract more people and get them to learn about the fascinating skills of Kala village as well as the splendid culture of the Miao people.” 28. According to the article, why do Miao people hang birdcages in front of their households? A. To attract birds. B. To celebrate big harvests. C. To show love for birds. D. To show off their craftsmanship. 29. What are Kala birdcages known for? A. Their attractive appearances. B. Their long-lasting quality. C. Their collectible value. D. Their complex craftwork. 30. What does the second to last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Difficulties in selling Kala birdcages. B. The increasing public interest in Kala birdcages. C. Wang’s creativity in connecting her craft to daily life. D. The excellent craftsmanship shown in Wang’s works. 31. How does Wang promote the craft of Kala birdcages? A. By teaching students in schools. B. By simplifying cage-weaving skills. C. By selling Kala birdcages online. D. By sharing videos on social media. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了卡拉鸟笼作为苗族文化和贵州非物质文化遗产的特色，以及传承人王秋如何将其与现代生活结合并推广。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Miao people have loved birds for generations. That’s why people see delicate birdcages hanging in front of many households in the Miao villages.(苗族人民世世代代都爱鸟。这就是为什么人们在苗族村庄的许多家庭门前看到精致的鸟笼)”可知，苗族人把鸟笼挂在自家门前是为了表达对鸟的喜爱。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Kala birdcages are famous for their remarkable firmness,” explained Wang. “Each cage is carefully crafted from the sturdy moso bamboo and the flexible water bamboo. The former provides hardness, while the latter contributes resilience, resulting in a cage that is durable.”(“卡拉鸟笼以其惊人的坚固性而闻名，”王秋解释道，“每个鸟笼都由结实的楠竹和柔韧的水竹精心编织而成。前者提供硬度，后者赋予韧性，这样就造就了经久耐用的鸟笼”)”可知，卡拉鸟笼以其经久耐用的质量而闻名。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段““With the growing awareness of wildlife protection, the population of people who hunt and raise birds has been decreasing, so has been the need for birdcages,” said Wang. “So, I decided to combine closely art with everyday life, meeting the needs of a broader range of consumers.” Wang designs and makes everyday items, from bookshelves and lampshades to graceful earrings in the shape of Kala birdcages.(“随着人们野生动物保护意识的不断提高，捕猎和养鸟的人越来越少，对鸟笼的需求也随之减少，”王秋说，“所以，我决定将这项工艺与日常生活紧密结合，以满足更广泛消费者的需求。” 王秋设计并制作日常用品，从书架、灯罩到造型雅致的卡拉鸟笼形状耳环，不一而足)”可知，本段主要讲述了王秋将卡拉鸟笼工艺与日常生活相结合的创新做法。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In her efforts to show Kala birdcages to a wider audience, Wang has been sharing videos of her skills on social media.(为了向更广泛的观众展示卡拉鸟笼，王一直在社交媒体上分享她的技能视频)”可知，王秋通过在社交媒体上分享视频来推广卡拉鸟笼工艺。故选D。 D Loneliness has become a global health threat “孤独”成全球健康杀手 Do you feel lonely? Don’t rush to a “no” answer just yet — the World Health Organization (WHO) recently addressed loneliness as a pressing health threat. It called for countries and organizations to make social connections a priority. Loneliness, although commonly described as the state of being alone, is actually a state of mind marked by feelings of isolation (孤独) despite wanting social connections. So, people who are lonely usually experience the emotional pain of not being connected with others. Solitude (独处), on the other hand, is voluntary (自愿的). People who enjoy spending time by themselves continue to maintain positive social relationships that they can return to when they want connection, according to the Verywell Mind website. Social isolation impacts the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. According to the WHO, one in four old people experience social isolation. Among adolescents (青少年), between 5 and 15 percent experience loneliness, but the numbers are likely to be underestimations (低估), said the organization. “Young people are not immune (不受影响的) to loneliness. Social isolation can affect anyone, of any age, anywhere,” said Chido Mpemba, African Union youth envoy, in the WHO’s press release on loneliness. In terms of teenagers, social disconnection can lead to poorer education outcomes since young people who have experienced loneliness in high school are more likely to drop out of university. Lack of social connection carries an equivalent risk of early death with other better-known risk factors such as smoking, obesity (肥胖) and air pollution, or potentially even greater. Loneliness has a far-reaching impact comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes (香烟) a day, according to a 2017 study. Previous studies have shown that loneliness has been linked to anxiety and depression and can increase the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. A 2015 study looked at the immune systems of its participants who were identified as lonely. It showed that they tend to have more inflammation (炎症) and less immunity, which can be a result of feeling stressed due to loneliness. To tackle this crisis, the WHO launched the Commission on Social Connection, which will hold its first leadership meeting from Dec 6 to 8 to outline solutions to build social connections at scale. 32. What can we learn about people experiencing loneliness from the text? A. They prefer solitude over social interaction. B. They feel lacking in social connection. C. They feel other people isolate them on purpose. D. They struggle to maintain social relationships. 33. How does loneliness affect people of different ages, according to WHO? A. It is harder for older people to get rid of it. B. Teenagers are usually not influenced by it. C. People can suffer from it regardless of their age. D. Adults experience it primarily due to workplace stress. 34. How does the author explain the impact of loneliness on health? A. By citing previous studies. B. By asking the readers some questions. C. By interviewing lonely people. D. By comparing it with other diseases. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To raise awareness about loneliness. B. To give advice on how to prevent social isolation. C. To stress the need for mental health evaluations. D. To warn people of diseases related to loneliness. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孤独是全球健康威胁，表现为缺乏社交联系，影响各年龄段人群健康，世卫组织已成立委员会应对，旨在引起关注。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Loneliness, although commonly described as the state of being alone, is actually a state of mind marked by feelings of isolation (孤独) despite wanting social connections. So, people who are lonely usually experience the emotional pain of not being connected with others. (孤独，虽然通常被描述为独处的状态，但实际上是一种心理状态，其特点是尽管渴望社交联系，却仍有孤立感。因此，孤独的人通常会经历与他人没有联系的情感痛苦。)”可知，孤独的人会感到缺乏社交联系。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social isolation impacts the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. According to the WHO, one in four old people experience social isolation. Among adolescents (青少年), between 5 and 15 percent experience loneliness, but the numbers are likely to be underestimations (低估), said the organization. (社会孤立影响着世界各地所有年龄段的健康和福祉。根据世界卫生组织的数据，四分之一的老年人经历社会孤立。该组织表示，在青少年中，5%至15%的人会感到孤独，但这些数字可能被低估了。)”以及第四段“Young people are not immune (不受影响的) to loneliness. Social isolation can affect anyone, of any age, anywhere (年轻人也不能免于孤独。社会孤立可以影响任何地方、任何年龄的任何人)”可知，世界卫生组织认为无论年龄大小，人们都可能遭受孤独的影响。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Loneliness has a far-reaching impact comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes (香烟) a day, according to a 2017 study. (2017年的一项研究表明，孤独的影响深远，相当于每天吸15支烟。)”以及第六段“Previous studies have shown that loneliness has been linked to anxiety and depression and can increase the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. A 2015 study looked at the immune systems of its participants who were identified as lonely. It showed that they tend to have more inflammation (炎症) and less immunity, which can be a result of feeling stressed due to loneliness. (先前的研究表明，孤独与焦虑和抑郁有关，会使患心脏病的风险增加 30%。2015 年的一项研究观察了被认定为孤独的参与者的免疫系统。研究表明，他们往往有更多的炎症和更低的免疫力，这可能是由于孤独感带来的压力造成的。)”可知，作者通过引用先前的研究来解释孤独对健康的影响。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者开篇标题指出“Loneliness has become a global health threat. (孤独已成为全球健康威胁。)”，随后解释孤独的定义、不同年龄段受影响的情况、对健康的危害，最后提到“To tackle this crisis, the WHO launched the Commission on Social Connection, which will hold its first leadership meeting from Dec 6 to 8 to outline solutions to build social connections at scale. (为了应对这一危机，世界卫生组织成立了社会联系委员会，该委员会将于12月6日至8日举行首次领导会议，概述大规模建立社会联系的解决方案。)”，整体旨在提高人们对孤独的认识。故选A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。 Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips.

Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. ___38___ If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs. Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. ___39___ If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures. Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. ___40___ This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot. With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home. A. However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well. B. Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma. C. But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques. D. Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches. E.

Harari is a professor of history who, ironically, thinks a lot about the future. What students are being taught in schools today, he argues in one of his books, will be ____47____ to them in a few years’ time. He even thinks that technology will be used to ____48____ our bodies and brains. As a result, we will end up becoming half human and half robot hybrids (混合物). Harari might be right, but I for one hope he is wrong. The prospect of humans becoming little more than cyber-bees buzzing around an economic hive does not ____49____ me. What Harari seems to dismiss is the ____50____ of human beings, what is called the “dignity of man”. When I think of those words, Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David immediately springs to mind. It ____51____ the grace and strength of the human body, but it is David’s head, slightly turned to the side, that truly draws our attention. It is a strong, handsome face that looks into the future with absolute confidence. What a man! Would one of Harari’s future cyber-bees be able to create such a work of art? I certainly ____52____ it. Schools have an obligation to teach you ____53____ things, such as language skills and technical skills, but more importantly, they play a significant part in teaching you how to become a thoughtful and well-rounded human being. History and literature teach us that, while times change, the essential nature of human beings is ____54____. Today, we still have the same emotions, passions and desires as our ancestors. Will all of these human qualities get out of date and disappear in the future? Harari thinks so, but I still put my ____55____ in the “dignity of man”. Who wants to be a cyber-bee, anyway? 41.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以高中生威尔森的机器人技术创新为线索展开，讲述了他在成功制作机器人手臂后，目睹家乡湖泊污染，从而与同学皮特合作改造设备用于环保清洁的故事，实现了从课堂实验到实际应用的转变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，威尔森告诉了皮特他的想法。”可知，第一段可描写两人如何调整机械手臂以适应实际需要的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，他们在湖边测试新设计。”可知，第二段可描写测试场景及公众反应。 2.续写线索： 课堂项目——老师提出疑问——激发思考——目睹现实——改进技术——公开测试——社会影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：grasp/understand ②帮助：help/assist ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①兴奋：with excitement/in high spirits ②欢呼：cheer/applause 【点睛】[高分句型1] They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake.（运用了由where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water.（运用了由as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I honestly don't want to continue the gardening tomorrow, tony.
