Despite the school’s limited resources, Ms Rodriguez always strives (努力) to keep her students engaged through creative teaching strategies and community cooperation, enhancing their cultural identity. However, Ms Rodriguez’s teaching journey at Lincoln High School wasn’t always smooth. She found that students weren’t very interested in Spanish classes, with some thinking that learning Spanish had no practical use. Additionally, there was a cultural gap in the school, with some students lacking a sense of identity with Latino culture. Faced with these challenges, Ms Rodriguez didn’t back down. She decided to introduce interactive teaching methods like role-playing, cultural workshops, and community projects to increase student engagement. Ms Rodriguez also worked together with the local community, inviting Latino artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to the school to share their stories, thus enhancing students’ cultural identity. She encouraged students to involve their families in language learning through homework and community activities, strengthening family interaction and cultural heritage. Ms Rodriguez’s efforts gradually paid off. Students’ interest in Spanish classes increased significantly, and classroom participation and grades improved remarkably. The school successfully hosted several Latino cultural events, attracting participation from students and teachers across the school, thus enhancing the school’s cultural diversity. Ms Rodriguez’s efforts were also recognized by the community, and she was invited to share her teaching experiences at several educational conferences. When asked about the secret to her success, Ms Rodriguez modestly stated that the key lies in innovative teaching methods and community cooperation. She believes that by enhancing students’ cultural identity and family involvement, their enthusiasm for learning can be aroused. In the future, she hopes to continue promoting cultural education in schools and breaking down cultural barriers. 4. How did Ms Rodriguez arouse students’ interest in Spanish and Latino culture? A.

Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue — robots He and his team managed to develop a new type of robots named TP robots. Looking like stand-up vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) attached to an iPad, they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is used on a desktop computer. All possess audio and visual communication capabilities, allowing the operator to be “in the room” to interact with Mom or Dad. He believes that caregivers and family members can use a TP robot to “look in” on people with mild dementia. He says, “TP robots provide an effective solution for reducing caregivers’ burden, especially for those who have career or other out-of-home activities.” Urbanowski and his team have carried out a study that involves providing TP robots for 15 Toronto families. These robots are programmed to provide reminders of necessary daily routine like turning off the gas, taking medicine and having dinner. They will also help ensure patients are getting the exercise they need to maintain their health and well-being. Erin Crawford, Program Director with the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, says she has faith that TP robots will prove beneficial, particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. “It means that family members that can’t be there, for whatever reason, know that those things are still happening,” she says. 8. What can we infer about TP robots from Paragraph 3? A. It can clean the room. B. It’s easy to operate. C. It can be used on a computer. D. It’s convenient to carry. 9. How will TP robots help those with dementia? A. By turning off the gas for them. B. By having dinner with them. C. By doing activities with them. D. By reminding them to take pills. 10. What’s Erin Crawford’s attitude to the future of TP robots? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. TP robots provide a new cure for dementia. B. Caregivers of dementia will be replaced by TP robots. C. TP robots help to take care of dementia patients. D. Urbanowski and his team are developing a new robot. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11.

All possess audio and visual communication capabilities, allowing the operator to be “in the room” to interact with Mom or Dad.(他和他的团队成功研发出了一种新型机器人，名为“TP 机器人”。外形像一台上面装有 iPad 的立式吸尘器，可以通过智能手机进行远程控制，并通过类似于桌面电脑上鼠标操作的控制器应用程序进行远程引导。它们都具备音频和视频通信功能，使得操作者能够“置身于房间内”，与父母进行互动)”可知，TP机器人操作起来很简单。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These robots are programmed to provide reminders of necessary daily routine like turning off the gas, taking medicine and having dinner.(这些机器人被编程为提供必要的日常提醒，如关闭煤气，吃药和吃饭)”可知，TP机器人可以提醒痴呆症患者吃药。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Erin Crawford, Program Director with the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, says she has faith that TP robots will prove beneficial, particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. “It means that family members that can’t be there, for whatever reason, know that those things are still happening,” she says.(曼尼托巴省阿尔茨海默病协会的项目主任Erin Crawford说，她相信TP机器人将被证明是有益的，特别是在提醒痴呆症患者在特定时间做某些事情方面。她说：“这意味着，无论出于什么原因，不能在痴呆症患者身边的家庭成员都知道，这些事情仍在照常进行。”)”可推知，Erin Crawford对TP机器人的未来持乐观态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With aging population getting bigger and dementia (老年痴呆症) more common, more families are struggling with a complex question: How do you support a loved one with dementia, especially when you have a full-time job and several kids?(随着人口老龄化加剧以及老年痴呆症发病率的上升，越来越多的家庭面临着这样一个复杂的问题：当您身负全职工作且还有几个孩子时，该如何照顾患有老年痴呆症的亲人呢？)”以及第二段“Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue — robots.(雷格·厄本诺夫斯基或许有一个解决这个紧迫问题的办法——机器人)”结合文章主要说明了随着老龄化人口越来越多，痴呆症越来越普遍，如今发明了一种名为TP机器人的新型机器人，可以照顾痴呆症老人。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是TP机器人帮助照顾痴呆症患者。故选C。 D Butterflies have always captured human imagination. Their delicate wings, bright patterns, and graceful flight inspire poetry, art, and science. Beyond their beauty, butterflies play vital roles in ecosystems as pollinators (传花粉者) and as part of complex food webs. But a new climate warning has emerged. A Yale-led global study suggests their mountain homes long thought to be butterflies’ safe havens (港湾) are becoming death zones. Climate change, once a distant threat, is now closing in fast. The phrase “butterfly effect” describes how a small action, like a butterfly flapping its wings, can lead to large consequences like a hurricane across the world. This study shows something more disconcerting: a global storm threatening butterflies themselves. According to the researchers, mountain habitats that once offered protection may now become population traps. These zones are warming fast. With nowhere higher to go, butterflies may run out of suitable conditions. Species adapting to cooler, narrow temperature bands will suffer most. Even more concerning, the study points to a critical data gap. While scientists have long tracked changes in birds, mammals and plants, insects—though far more numerous—have been overlooked in global biodiversity models. To understand how butterflies might respond to climate change, Yale ecologist Walter Jetz and entomologist Stefan Pinkert led a team of researchers. They compiled (汇编) phylogenetic and geographic data for over 12,000 butterfly species around the globe. Their work revealed that two-thirds of butterfly species live in tropical and subtropical mountains. These regions hold 3.5 times more butterfly hotspots than lowlands. But this concentration also increases risk. Mountains are warming quickly, and species that evolved in specific temperature zones may not adapt in time. The study predicts that 64% of the suitable space used by tropical butterflies will disappear by 2070. As climate zones shift upward and shrink, many butterflies will lose their homes. Their quiet struggle on mountain peaks is not just a story about insects. It’s a signal to humanity that time is running out. 12. What does the study suggest about mountain habitats for butterflies? A. They provide more biodiversity. B. They are threatening butterflies. C. They are getting cooler and safer. D. They are expanding their natural space. 13. What does the underlined word “disconcerting” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Worrying. B. Inspiring. C. Disrespectful. D. Disorganized. 14. Why are insects like butterflies ignored in biodiversity models? A. They are less important than larger species. B. They can adapt to climate change quickly. C. Global models focus on larger species. D. Scientists lack interest in their survival. 15. What message do butterflies’ struggles send to humans? A. Climate impacts are overlooked. B. The protection of mountains need priority. C. The “butterfly effect” causes hurricanes. D. Urgent action should be taken to cut climate threats. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。耶鲁大学研究显示，曾是蝴蝶安全港湾的山区因气候变化成死亡区，蝴蝶生存受威胁，警示人类需行动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A Yale-led global study suggests their mountain homes long thought to be butterflies’ safe havens (港湾) are becoming death zones. Climate change, once a distant threat, is now closing in fast.(一项由耶鲁大学牵头的全球研究表明，长期以来被认为是蝴蝶安全港湾的山区家园正变成死亡地带。气候变化曾经是一个遥远的威胁，现在正迅速逼近。)”可知，研究表明山区栖息地对蝴蝶来说正变得具有威胁性。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The phrase ‘butterfly effect’ describes how a small action, like a butterfly flapping its wings, can lead to large consequences like a hurricane across the world. This study shows something more disconcerting: a globalstorm threatening butterflies themselves.(‘蝴蝶效应’这个短语描述了一个小的行动，比如一只蝴蝶扇动翅膀，如何能导致像全球飓风这样的大后果。这项研究显示了更令人disconcerting的事情：一场全球性的风暴正威胁着蝴蝶本身。)”可知，一场全球性的风暴正威胁着蝴蝶本身，这是一个令人担心的事情，所以disconcerting应表示“令人担忧的”，与Worrying意思相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“While scientists have long tracked changes in birds, mammals and plants, insects—though far more numerous—have been overlooked in global biodiversity models.(虽然科学家们长期以来一直在追踪鸟类、哺乳动物和植物的变化，但昆虫 —— 尽管数量多得多 —— 在全球生物多样性模型中却被忽视了。)”可知，像蝴蝶这样的昆虫在生物多样性模型中被忽视是因为全球模型更关注大型物种。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Their quiet struggle on mountain peaks is not just a story about insects. It’s a signal to humanity that time is running out.(它们在山顶上无声的挣扎不仅仅是关于昆虫的故事。这是一个向人类发出的信号：时间不多了。)”并结合前文提到气候变化对蝴蝶的威胁可知，蝴蝶的挣扎向人类传递了需要立即采取行动减少气候威胁的信息。故选D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。 People with an aesthetic (审美的) mindset tend to be highly curious, enjoy exploration, and are motivated to engage in creative activities. ___16___ It also can be used to improve the quality of life.

Hailing from a small town, she had a distinct accent when speaking English, which initially made some of us secretly laugh at her. She seemed like a fish out of water in our big city school. At first, Lily was keenly aware of the giggles and whispers behind her. She would turn red with embarrassment whenever she mispronounced a word in class and heard the gentle laughs from her classmates. There were times when she would keep silent during group discussions, not because she had nothing to say, but because she was afraid of being laughed at again due to her accent. However, instead of letting the mockery beat her, these experiences became the fuel for her determination. She shared with me one day, her eyes showing a blend of pain and firmness, ‌“In my hometown, English teaching resources were scarce. But I have always been attracted to the language. I watched English movies and TV programs, dreaming of speaking as smoothly as the characters. Here, I thought I could finally make this dream a reality, but I didn’t anticipate the teasing. Yet, this just makes me more resolute. I want to prove to everyone that an accent can’t determine my ability to master the language.” One day, an English speech contest was announced. To everyone’s astonishment, Lily signed up. She came to me with a determined look and said, ‌“I’ve always dreamed of speaking English well, and this is my chance to prove myself. I know it will be an uphill battle, but I’m fully prepared to put in the hard work.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 From that day on, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the contest. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the contest arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 From that day on, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the contest. She spent countless hours in the school library, poring over books on public speaking and collecting materials for her speech. Every day after school, she would find an empty corner in the campus and practice speaking aloud. She recorded her own voice and listened to it repeatedly, trying to correct every tiny flaw in her pronunciation. She also asked me to be her audience, and she would patiently accept my suggestions and make improvements. Her perseverance and dedication were truly inspiring, and gradually, I could see a significant improvement in her English skills. Finally, the day of the contest arrived. Lily walked onto the stage with a calm and confident look. Her voice was clear and resonant as she began her speech. Although her accent was still there, it no longer seemed like a shortcoming but rather a unique feature that added a special charm to her speech. The audience was deeply moved by her story of struggle and determination. When she finished her speech, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause. In the end, she won the first prize. Her success not only proved her own ability but also made us realize that we should never judge others by their accents or origins. We all learned a valuable lesson from her. 【解析】 【导语】本文人物为线索展开，讲述新同学Lily来自小镇，英语有口音遭同学嘲笑，但她未被打倒，得知英语演讲比赛后决定报名参赛，想证明自己。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，她全身心地投入到比赛的准备中。”可知，第一段可描述Lily为比赛做准备的具体行动，展现她的努力和坚持，故事走向是她不断提升自己的英语演讲能力。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，比赛的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描述比赛时Lily的表现，以及最终的结果，体现她通过努力获得成功。 2. 续写线索：全心准备比赛——比赛当天表现——赢得一等奖——大家获得启示 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①走上：walk onto/step onto ②开始：begin/start ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①耐心地：patiently/with patience ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】She spent countless hours in the school library, poring over books on public speaking and collecting materials for her speech.

B At Lincoln High School, a Spanish teacher, Ms Rodriguez, has aroused (激起) students’ interest in Spanish and Latino culture through her innovative teaching methods. Despite the school’s limited resources, Ms Rodriguez always strives (努力) to keep her students engaged through creative teaching strategies and community cooperation, enhancing their cultural identity. However, Ms Rodriguez’s teaching journey at Lincoln High School wasn’t always smooth. She found that students weren’t very interested in Spanish classes, with some thinking that learning Spanish had no practical use. Additionally, there was a cultural gap in the school, with some students lacking a sense of identity with Latino culture. Faced with these challenges, Ms Rodriguez didn’t back down. She decided to introduce interactive teaching methods like role-playing, cultural workshops, and community projects to increase student engagement. Ms Rodriguez also worked together with the local community, inviting Latino artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to the school to share their stories, thus enhancing students’ cultural identity. She encouraged students to involve their families in language learning through homework and community activities, strengthening family interaction and cultural heritage. Ms Rodriguez’s efforts gradually paid off. Students’ interest in Spanish classes increased significantly, and classroom participation and grades improved remarkably. The school successfully hosted several Latino cultural events, attracting participation from students and teachers across the school, thus enhancing the school’s cultural diversity. Ms Rodriguez’s efforts were also recognized by the community, and she was invited to share her teaching experiences at several educational conferences. When asked about the secret to her success, Ms Rodriguez modestly stated that the key lies in innovative teaching methods and community cooperation. She believes that by enhancing students’ cultural identity and family involvement, their enthusiasm for learning can be aroused. In the future, she hopes to continue promoting cultural education in schools and breaking down cultural barriers. 4. How did Ms Rodriguez arouse students’ interest in Spanish and Latino culture? A. By giving them extra homework. B. By teaching advanced students first. C. By improving teaching ways with the new. D. By asking the school leader for more resources. 5. What did Ms Rodriguez do to enhance students’ cultural identity? A. She gave orders to the local community. B. She invited professionals to give lectures. C. She told many interesting Spanish stories. D. She required her family members to offer help. 6. Which is a future goal of Ms Rodriguez’s? A. Keeping boosting cultural learning. B. Releasing the secret to her success. C Focusing on discovering cultural barriers. D. Writing a book about her teaching methods. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Effective Ways to Increase Students’ Studies B The Challenges of Ms Rodriguez’s Teaching Spanish C. Innovative Teaching Methods at Lincoln High School D. Ms Rodriguez’s Journey to Inspire Cultural Learning C With aging population getting bigger and dementia (老年痴呆症) more common, more families are struggling with a complex question: How do you support a loved one with dementia, especially when you have a full-time job and several kids? Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue — robots. He and his team managed to develop a new type of robots named TP robots. Looking like stand-up vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) attached to an iPad, they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is used on a desktop computer. All possess audio and visual communication capabilities, allowing the operator to be “in the room” to interact with Mom or Dad. He believes that caregivers and family members can use a TP robot to “look in” on people with mild dementia. He says, “TP robots provide an effective solution for reducing caregivers’ burden, especially for those who have career or other out-of-home activities.” Urbanowski and his team have carried out a study that involves providing TP robots for 15 Toronto families. These robots are programmed to provide reminders of necessary daily routine like turning off the gas, taking medicine and having dinner. They will also help ensure patients are getting the exercise they need to maintain their health and well-being. Erin Crawford, Program Director with the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, says she has faith that TP robots will prove beneficial, particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. “It means that family members that can’t be there, for whatever reason, know that those things are still happening,” she says. 8. What can we infer about TP robots from Paragraph 3? A. It can clean the room. B. It’s easy to operate. C. It can be used on a computer. D. It’s convenient to carry. 9. How will TP robots help those with dementia? A. By turning off the gas for them. B. By having dinner with them. C. By doing activities with them. D. By reminding them to take pills. 10. What’s Erin Crawford’s attitude to the future of TP robots? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. TP robots provide a new cure for dementia. B. Caregivers of dementia will be replaced by TP robots. C. TP robots help to take care of dementia patients. D. Urbanowski and his team are developing a new robot. D Butterflies have always captured human imagination. Their delicate wings, bright patterns, and graceful flight inspire poetry, art, and science. Beyond their beauty, butterflies play vital roles in ecosystems as pollinators (传花粉者) and as part of complex food webs. But a new climate warning has emerged. A Yale-led global study suggests their mountain homes long thought to be butterflies’ safe havens (港湾) are becoming death zones. Climate change, once a distant threat, is now closing in fast. The phrase “butterfly effect” describes how a small action, like a butterfly flapping its wings, can lead to large consequences like a hurricane across the world. This study shows something more disconcerting: a global storm threatening butterflies themselves. According to the researchers mountain habitats that once offered protection may now become population traps. These zones are warming fast. With nowhere higher to go, butterflies may run out of suitable conditions. Species adapting to cooler, narrow temperature bands will suffer most. Even more concerning, the study points to a critical data gap. While scientists have long tracked changes in birds, mammals and plants, insects—though far more numerous—have been overlooked in global biodiversity models. To understand how butterflies might respond to climate change, Yale ecologist Walter Jetz and entomologist Stefan Pinkert led a team of researchers. They compiled (汇编) phylogenetic and geographic data for over 12,000 butterfly species around the globe. Their work revealed that two-thirds of butterfly species live in tropical and subtropical mountains. These regions hold 3.5 times more butterfly hotspots than lowlands. But this concentration also increases risk. Mountains are warming quickly, and species that evolved in specific temperature zones may not adapt in time. The study predicts that 64% of the suitable space used by tropical butterflies will disappear by 2070. As climate zones shift upward and shrink, many butterflies will lose their homes. Their quiet struggle on mountain peaks is not just a story about insects. It’s a signal to humanity that time is running out. 12. What does the study suggest about mountain habitats for butterflies? A. They provide more biodiversity. B. They are threatening butterflies. C. They are getting cooler and safer. D. They are expanding their natural space. 13. What does the underlined word “disconcerting” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Worrying. B. Inspiring. C. Disrespectful. D. Disorganized. 14. Why are insects like butterflies ignored in biodiversity models? A. They are less important than larger species. B. They can adapt to climate change quickly. C. Global models focus on larger species. D. Scientists lack interest in their survival. 15. What message do butterflies’ struggles send to humans? A. Climate impacts are overlooked. B. The protection of mountains need priority. C. The “butterfly effect” causes hurricanes. D. Urgent action should be taken to cut climate threats. 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。 People with an aesthetic (审美的) mindset tend to be highly curious, enjoy exploration, and are motivated to engage in creative activities. ___16___ It also can be used to improve the quality of life.

Hailing from a small town, she had a distinct accent when speaking English, which initially made some of us secretly laugh at her. She seemed like a fish out of water in our big city school. At first, Lily was keenly aware of the giggles and whispers behind her. She would turn red with embarrassment whenever she mispronounced a word in class and heard the gentle laughs from her classmates. There were times when she would keep silent during group discussions, not because she had nothing to say, but because she was afraid of being laughed at again due to her accent. However, instead of letting the mockery beat her, these experiences became the fuel for her determination. She shared with me one day, her eyes showing a blend of pain and firmness, ‌“In my hometown, English teaching resources were scarce. But I have always been attracted to the language. I watched English movies and TV programs, dreaming of speaking as smoothly as the characters. Here, I thought I could finally make this dream a reality, but I didn’t anticipate the teasing. Yet, this just makes me more resolute. I want to prove to everyone that an accent can’t determine my ability to master the language.” One day, an English speech contest was announced. To everyone’s astonishment, Lily signed up. She came to me with a determined look and said, ‌“I’ve always dreamed of speaking English well, and this is my chance to prove myself. I know it will be an uphill battle, but I’m fully prepared to put in the hard work.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 From that day on, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the contest. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the contest arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
