After all, Montreal has more people in it than the entire province where I grew up. I spent the first months getting lost going everywhere. Even the weather confused me; I didn’t know whether to leave the house with a raincoat, sweater, or a hat. And I’d never felt more alone. I knew no one in the city where I’d come for grad school (研究生院). I badly wanted to have a sense of familiarity. I wondered at first if I’d ever truly fit into this new city. However over time, I began to adapt. Above all, I made friends, newcomers like myself. We have started to build a community of our own. I’ve realized that finding my place is a never-ending process — one that requires depending on old comforts, like food from home, and discovering new ones, like picnicking in the park. It also requires a supportive network of people willing to help each other out. This year showed me what a difference our community of guiding can make. Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city. 4. Why did the author feel especially lonely after moving to Montreal? A. Because the weather was always bad. B. Because he had no friends or family there. C. Because he couldn’t understand the language. D. Because the city was too crowded. 5. What helped the author most in adapting to life in Montreal? A. Making friends with other newcomers. B. Buying a detailed map of the city. C. Learning the local language quickly. D. Finding a part-time job. 6. Why did the author laugh after giving directions at Sherbrooke station? A. The lady told a funny joke. B. The lady thanked him in a humorous way. C. He realized how much he had grown. D. He gave the wrong directions on purpose. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Weather Confusion in a New City B. A Guide to Montreal's Streets C. The Challenges of Grad School D. Finding My Place in Montreal C California-based Greatfill offers a zero-waste solution with reusable household products. It focuses on the health of the home, humans, and the environment. Greatfill produces eco-friendly hand wash, body wash, dish soap, multipurpose cleaner and so on. The naturally-sourced ingredients list is proudly displayed on the website and the bag. Each product’s starter kit comes with a durable food-grade steel bottle in various colors, which is reusable and has a lifetime guarantee. This helps avoid plastic spray and pump bottles. Not only does this promote a solution for plastic waste, but the steel bottles pair with the company’s reusable fill-bags. With your first order, Greatfill sends a postage-paid envelope. After using refill bags, you can simply drop them into the envelope and return them to the company for sterilization (消毒) and reuse. Greatfill claims to be the only U.S. company offering a completely zero-waste solution. While the zero waste aspect benefits the planet all along the supply chain, the products focus on maintaining a safe environment within the home. In addition to using natural ingredients, all products are vegan friendly and are never tested on animals. The company’s mission is: “To avoid single-use plastic by making refilling convenient, affordable and fun.” The inspiration came from the fact that the global recycling for plastic waste is ineffective. It’s a member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of sales to environmental charities. Products can be ordered online and will soon be in retail (零售) stores. Reviewers love the products for their mild scents, performance, and zero-waste features. The body wash has a pleasing scent and thick consistency, and the multipurpose cleaner effectively cleans various surfaces without leaving a film (薄膜) or having an unbearable smell. 8. What is one of the main ways Greatfill helps reduce plastic waste? A. It uses plastic bottles with a lifetime guarantee. B. It provides reusable steel bottles instead of plastic ones. C. It asks customers to sterilize refill bags at home. D. It only sells hand wash and body wash products. 9. What is Greatfill’s mission as stated in the passage? A. To avoid single-use plastic through refill solutions. B. To stress the ineffectiveness of global recycling. C. To make all household products with strong scents. D. To expand product lines by testing on animals. 10. What can be inferred about Greatfill’s development? A. It will produce more scented products. B. It may leave traditional products unsold. C. Its products have been seen in retail stores. D. It may expand its market through retail stores. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To warn about the dangers of plastic pollution. B. To promote a sustainable business model. C. To analyze the global recycling system. D. To advertise a new retail store chain. D In recent years, RNA has risen from a little-known molecule (分子) to the cutting edge in biotechnology. Scientists now see it as a versatile player in evolution and cell biology, with a wide range of functions. In his book The catalyst, Nobel-prize winning chemist Thomas Cech tells the story of the discoveries that pushed RNA to the heart of modern laboratory techniques, gene-editing approaches and therapeutics (治疗学). The first half of the book explores how researchers in the 1950s-70s uncovered messenger RNA (mRNA) — the molecule that carries DNA instructions to build proteins. A major surprise came in 1977: genes in plants and animals contain “junk” sections called introns, which cells cut out before making proteins. This discovery shocked the field, as no one had predicted that gene sequence would not correspond precisely to protein sequence. The second half of the book deals with how gene-editing tools and therapeutics have been developed, thanks to basic research into RNA’s various functions. For instance, the mRNA vaccines (疫苗) that beat back COVID-19 were developed in less than a year. But they were built on the back of decades of work on ways to change RNAs to deliver them into cells. Similar vaccines are now being developed to combat the deadly respiratory syncytial virus, the common cold and even cancer. Cech concludes by singing the praises of the importance of curiosity-driven research, so beautifully illustrated in The catalyst. As he argues, RNA's ongoing story teaches a vital lesson: today’s “useless” research often seeds tomorrow's revolutions. Cech asks, might these mysterious RNAs hold the key to understanding what makes us human? Finding the answer, he predicts, will probably fill “future chapters in the book of RNA”. Cech asks readers to look beyond the textbooks, to future discoveries. Combining scientific strictness with storytelling clarity, The catalyst bridges specialized knowledge and public understanding. Cech’s engaging and clear account will appeal to general readers and specialists alike. 12. What does the underlined word “versatile” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Talented. B. Many-sided. C. Specialized. D. Organized. 13. What surprised scientists in the 1970s? A. RNA could regulate gene activity. B. RNA vaccines could fight viruses effectively. C. mRNA was discovered to carry DNA instructions. D. The gene sequence didn't match the protein sequence exactly. 14. What’s Cech’s attitude towards curiosity-driven research in his book The catalyst? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Enthusiastic. D. Critical. 15. What can we learn about The catalyst according to the text? A. It has won its author the Nobel Prize. B. It's mainly targeted at students. C. It's filled with difficult academic items. D It's intended for professionals and the masses. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Steps To Unlocking Your Inner Motivation When it comes to living a fulfilled life, there are specific steps that we have to follow.

I take the train, my main commuting (通勤) way, to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite easily as there is a way at the back of the station which provides a great shortcut. In summer, when it’s hot, I always try to rush through it because it can get quite smelly from all the garbage that people throw away. It was one of those days that I was trying to rush through as usual when something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most unexpected and beautiful act by an old woman walking ahead of me with the help of a white stick. The old woman was quite short and thin, and had white hair. I remember that she was wearing a bright orange jacket and she was walking, assisted by a white cane. She was walking slowly as each step took some effort. I hadn’t particularly noticed her at first, until she stopped near a garbage bin. She slowly laid her walking stick against the garbage bin and then leaned on it with her right hand. Then she bent down and reached for the garbage, but she clearly found it difficult and it took her a while. She picked up some garbage off the ground with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again, all the while using the garbage bin to support herself. She threw the garbage inside the bin, dusted her trousers off and then reached for her walking cane again. She then gradually stood up straight and carried on walking. I was blown away to see this amazing old woman make such a painstaking effort to keep even a small part of the way clean! I haven't been able to stop thinking about that all day. 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。 Inspired by the old woman’s act, I also did my part in keeping the way clean. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Word spread, and our efforts soon caught the attention of the local community. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025~2026学年度第一学期教学质量监测考试Ⅰ 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的学校、班级、姓名、考场号、座位号、准考证号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Among all the amazing spots here, I highly recommend Huangguoshu Waterfall—it’s a real gem you shouldn’t miss. As China’s largest waterfall, it’s breathtakingly grand. When you stand by its side, you’ll be wrapped in cool mist and stunned by the thunderous sound of water crashing down. The nearby karst mountains and crystal-clear streams add more beauty to the scene. What’s more, taking a boat to get up close lets you experience its magic in a whole new way. You’ll also find local snacks like spicy tofu nearby to try! I truly hope you’ll have an unforgettable and wonderful time exploring Guizhou. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【45题答案】 【答案】Inspired by the old woman’s act, I also did my part in keeping the way clean. The next morning, I brought a pair of gloves and a big garbage bag from home before heading to the station. As I walked through the shortcut, I bent down to pick up every piece of trash I saw — crinkled snack bags, empty plastic bottles, and even tiny candy wrappers hidden in the grass. It took me a few extra minutes, but seeing the path grow cleaner made my heart feel light. Later, I started asking my neighbors who also took the train to join me. To my surprise, two of them agreed right away, and soon we formed a small team that cleaned the area every weekday morning.​ Word spread, and our efforts soon caught the attention of the local community. The neighborhood committee heard about what we were doing and provided us with more cleaning supplies — brooms, dustpans, and even trash cans with “Keep Our Home Clean” labels. Some students from the nearby primary school also volunteered on weekends, bringing their parents along too. Gradually, the smelly shortcut transformed into a tidy, pleasant path. Last week, I even saw the old woman with the white stick again. When she walked through the clean path, she stopped for a moment, smiled, and nodded at us gratefully. That small gesture made me realize: a single kind act can spark a chain reaction, making the whole community warmer.​ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
