It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but 1 a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it 2 from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them. I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they 51 to the U.S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, 3 them no time to learn English. When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress (抑制) Cantonese in an 4 to blend in and to feel more American. Over time, Cantonese played a smaller 5 in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to 6 me. “I like your green dress”, I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often 7 words or failing completely to recall them. It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be 8 . My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no 9 the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore. 【答案】 1．H 2．E 3．A 4．C 5．G 6．K 7．F 8．D 9．B 10．J 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者失去并重新学习自己的母语——广东话（Cantonese）的经历和感受。 1．考查副词。句意：它不像失去你所爱的人那样突然而剧烈的痛苦，而是一种慢慢积累的钝痛，直到它成为你的一部分。由前面的“It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love”和后面的“a dull ache that builds slowly”可知，句子表示“它不像失去你所爱的人那样突然而剧烈的痛苦，而是一种慢慢积累的钝痛”，空格处意为“而是”，是rather。故选H。 2．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：随着它从我的记忆中逐渐消失，我也失去了与他们交流的能力。由前面的“losing my first language”可知，作者失去了自己的第一语言，句子表示“随着它从我的记忆中逐渐消失”，空格处意为“消失”，是fade，由lose可知，句子时态是一般现在时，主语it是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故选E。 3．考查时态。句意：上世纪80年代，他们从中国广东省移民到美国。由下文“to the U.S. from China’s Guangdong Province”可知，句子表示“上世纪80年代，他们从中国广东省移民到美国”，空格处意为“移民”，是immigrate，由In the 1980s可知，句子时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故选A。 4．考查非谓语动词。句意：他们在厨房和服装厂找到的工作时间很长，没有时间学习英语。由前面的“The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours”和后面的“no time to learn English”可知，句子表示“他们在厨房和服装厂找到的工作时间很长，没有时间学习英语”，空格处意为“使……处于某种状态”，是leave，句中谓语是came，空格处用非谓语动词，用现在分词表结果，故选C。 5．考查名词。句意：为了融入美国，让自己感觉更像美国人，压制粤语是一个很容易的决定。由前面的“suppress (抑制) Cantonese”和后面的“to blend in and to feel more American”可知，句子表示“为了融入美国，让自己感觉更像美国人，压制粤语是一个很容易的决定”，空格处要填effort，意为“努力”，in an effort to是固定短语，意为“为了”，故选G。 6．考查名词。句意：随着时间的推移，广东话在我生活中的作用越来越小。由前面的“suppress (抑制) Cantonese”可知，句子表示“广东话在我生活中的作用越来越小”，空格处意为“角色，作用”，是role，play a smaller role in是固定短语，意为“扮演较小的角色，起较小的作用”，因此空格处是role。故选K。 7．考查不定式。句意：然后，我开始想不起颜色的名字。由下文“I like your green dress”和“This is blue, silly”可知，句子表示“我开始想不起颜色的名字”，空格处意为“逃跑，逃脱”，用escape，start to do是固定短语，意为“开始做某事”，因此空格处用原形，故选F。 8．考查非谓语动词。句意：最终，我努力构建句子，经常发错音，或者完全想不起来。由后面的“or failing completely to recall them”可知，句子表示“我努力构建句子，经常发错音，或者完全想不起来”，空格处意为“发错音”，是mispronounce，句中谓语是struggled，空格处用非谓语动词，I和mispronounce之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故选D。 9．考查被动语态。句意：我的心很痛，因为我知道我们之间有一段可能永远无法完全弥合的距离。由前面的“My heart aches”可知，句子表示“我的心很痛，因为我知道我们之间有一段可能永远无法完全弥合的距离”，空格处意为“弥合”，是bridge，距离是被弥合，句子用被动语态，空前有may never fully be，空格处用过去分词。故选B。 10．考查动名词。句意：我们在一起的时间有限，这是不可避免的事实。由“the fact that we have a limited amount of time together”可知，句子表示“我们在一起的时间有限，这是不可避免的事实”，空格处意为“避免”，是avoid，There’s no avoiding the fact that...意为“不可避免的事实是……”，因此空格处是avoiding。故选J。 Passage 2 【来源】上海市宝山区顾村中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中英语试卷 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

It is a strange feeling to know your own country only as a child and to become an adult on foreign 31 I experienced very little culture shock upon arriving in 1998 because I knew very little about China.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word that you do not need. A．interpersonal     B．connected     C． inspired     D．respecting     E. different     F. occurring G. perspective     H. based     I. misunderstanding     J. independence     K. relatives The most difficult part of a Chinese-Western marriage is the cultural differences. The traditional Chinese culture is 1 on the Confucian philosophy (儒家哲学). However, the Western culture is founded on ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and are therefore reflected in 2 relationship and marriage. It is not easy to keep a Chinese-Western relationship, for cultural differences may result in 3 . From the traditional Chinese 4 , marriage is a relationship involving family, friends and relatives. In contrast, Westerners’ marriages recognize the 5 and privacy of the couple. That is why Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our 6 if we are asked to do so. Chinese people need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, we are somehow still 7 to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not oppose it.

A．signs B．minds C． immediate D．function E. altering F. borderless G. relative H. worth I. individual J. breakdown K. sociable Imagine meeting a foreigner for the first time but he/she is fluent in your language. There may appear to be no 1 communication barrier. Would you adapt the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech? How about 2 your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you? These are just a small part of the changes in behavior that can improve your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ. There is growing evidence that suggests that they are well 3 learning. “The number one predictor of your success in today’s 4 world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise,” writes social scientist David Livermore. “It’s your CQ.” Much of the research on CQ has been done by Professor Soon Ang with the Nanyang Technological University. In the late 1990s, her job was dealing with the “Y2K bug.” It was a software bug that was feared would bring down the world’s computer networks. Ang put together an international team of programmers to update computer systems in Singapore. They were some of the brightest 5 in the industry. However, Ang soon found that these people just couldn’t work together. Often, 6 members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely different ways. Clearly, it wasn’t a question of language skills or expertise. Instead, she saw that these employees were held back by each other’s cultural differences. This would lead Ang to work with psychologist P. Christopher Earley. Together they built a theory of CQ. They defined it as “the capability to 7 effectively in a variety of cultural contexts.” Someone with a low CQ might view everyone else’s behavior through his own cultural lens. If he comes from a more 8 environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly. In aviation, such cultural differences might cause a(n) 9 in communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. The consequences would be unthinkable. A person at the top of the scale, meanwhile, might realize that silence is one of the   10 of respect. In Japanese culture, feedback often won’t be given unless it is asked for. As a result, he/she will offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions. 【答案】 1．C 2．E 3．H 4．F 5．B 6．I 7．D 8．K 9．J 10．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了文化智商（CQ）的重要性，说明跨文化交流中行为调整可提高成功机会。 1．考查形容词。句意：可能看起来没有任何直接的沟通障碍。空处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的名词communication。根据上文“Imagine meeting a foreigner for the first time but he/she is fluent in your language.”可知，外国人能够流利的说你的语言，因此会没有立刻的、直接的沟通障碍。immediate为形容词“立刻的”，符合语境，作定语修饰名词短语communication barrier。故选C。 2．考查动词。句意：根据面前人的背景，你会改变你的肢体语言和面部表情吗？How about doing sth.“做某事怎么样”。根据下文“depending on the background of the person in front of you”可知，要根据背景来调整或改变自己的非语言交流方式。alter“改变”，符合语境，此处需要动名词作宾语。故选E。 3．考查介词。句意：越来越多的证据表明，这些行为变化是非常值得学习的。根据上文“These are just a small part of the changes in behavior that can improve your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ.”可知，这些行为能够提升你的文化智商，因此他们是值得学习的。worth为介词“值”，构成“be worth doing sth.”的结构，意外“值得做某事”。故选H。 4．考查形容词。句意：社会科学家大卫·利弗莫尔写道：“在今天这个无国界的世界里，预测你成功的首要因素既不是你的智商，也不是你的简历，甚至不是你的专业知识。而是你的文化智商”。空处需要形容词作定语修饰名词world，此处指当今的世界是一个无国界的世界。borderless为形容词“无国界的”，符合语境。故选F。 5．考查名词。句意：他们是该行业中一些最聪明的人。根据上文“Ang put together an international team of programmers to update computer systems in Singapore.”可知，这些来自世界各地的程序员是最聪明的人。mind为名词“聪明人”，根据They可知，此处需要该名词的复数形式。故选B。 6．考查形容词。句意：常常，个别成员似乎对解决方案达成了一致，但随后却以完全不同的方式执行。空处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的名词members。根据上文“these people just couldn’t work together”可知，这些人不能一起工作，所以是个别的成员似乎对解决方案达成了一致。individual为形容词“个别的，个体的”，符合语境。故选I。 7．考查动词。句意：他们将其定义为“在多种文化背景下有效工作的能力”。根据空前的动词不定式符号to可知，空处需要动词的原形。function为动词“正常工作”，符合语境。故选D。 8．考查形容词。句意：例如，如果他来自一个更加社交的环境，并注意到他的日本同事在会议中非常安静，他可能会认为他们在故意冷落他。空处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的名词environment。根据下文中的“notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly”可知，此处表示他来自一个更加社交的环境，所以会认为日本同事在会议中非常安静，这是在故意冷落他。sociable为形容词“社交的”，符合语境。故选K。 9．考查名词。句意：在航空领域，这种文化差异可能导致飞行员和空中交通管制员之间的沟通中断。根据空前的a(n)可知，空处需要单数名词。breakdown“（讨论、系统的）失败，崩溃”，符合语境。故选J。 10．考查名词。句意：另一方面，文化智商最高的人可能会意识到，沉默是尊重的一种标志。根据空前的the和空后的of可知，空处需要名词。此处指“沉默是尊重的一种标志”。sign为名词“标志，迹象”，符合语境。one of+可数名词的复数形式，所以空处需要名词的复数。故选A。 话题3 科技与生活 围绕科技产品（如智能服装、社交媒体）对生活的影响、科技应用的创新及潜在问题展开，展现科技与日常生活的融合。 1．《How Many Devices Are You Wearing?》：介绍 “智能服装” 的发展，谷歌与李维斯合作推出触摸感应夹克可操作手机，华盛顿大学研究人员利用导电纱线的磁性，将服装变成存储设备（如存储门密码），但存储数据会随时间减弱（一周后磁场减弱 30%），目前适合存储临时代码（如酒店房卡密码），体现科技在服装领域的创新与局限。 2．《A recent article put a spotlight on how social media...》：探讨社交媒体对青少年身体形象的影响，网红分享 “一天吃什么” 视频虽无恶意，但易引发攀比；男性在身体形象问题上更难表达困扰，还提到关注积极内容可提升自信，提醒青少年社交媒体仅展示他人生活片段，分析科技产品对青少年心理的影响。 Passage 1 【来源】上海市闵行区六校联考2024-2025学年高一上学期10月期中英语试题 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

The classic bad dream of suddenly realizing you’re naked in public could soon get a futuristic twist: it might involve the 1 of losing not just your modesty but also pass codes. The concept of interactive “smart clothing” that can store data, 2 unlock doors or control a nearby smartphone with gestures has drawn great attention in the past couple of years. For example, Google and Levi’s created a(n) 3 jacket that can operate a smartphone. This and other smart clothes are made with conductive thread and usually require an attached electronic device. To 4 the need for such devices, researchers at the University of Washington recently took advantage of what they say is a previously unexploited property of conductive thread: its ability to be magnetized (磁化的)—attracted to objects made of iron. Using magnetic instead of electric properties of the thread “may seem like a 5 difference, but it’s what makes this work interesting and exciting”. The new technique allowed the researchers to do something they say is unique among wearables: turn them into 6 devices. The Washington team magnetized a piece of cloth decorated with conductive thread, giving different parts of the cloth a north or south orientation. This step allowed the researchers to store up to 33 million different 7 —such as pass codes for doors—on a shirt. They also created magnetic gloves that could control a nearby smartphone with gestures. The clothes still stored data after washing, drying and ironing, but they could not 8 time’s erasers. After about a week, the threads’ magnetic fields had 9 by around 30 percent. The researchers suggest that using custom-made thread designed to hold stronger magnetic fields might work longer. But for now the clothes may be best suited for storing 10 codes, such as those found on hotel key cards or clothing tags in stores. 【答案】 1．A 2．D 3．G 4．E 5．K 6．J 7．H 8．C 9．I 10．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交互式“智能服装”的概念、工作原理、最新研究成果以及潜在的应用领域，旨在向读者普及关于智能服装的科技知识和发展动态。 1．考查名词。句意：那个经典的噩梦——突然意识到自己在大庭广众之下赤身裸体——可能很快就会有一个未来主义的变体：它不仅涉及失去尊严的恐怖，还可能包括丢失密码的恐慌。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式；根据空后“losing not just your modesty but also pass codes”可知，失去尊严和失去密码是一件恐怖的事。选项A“horrors”，名词，意为“恐怖”，符合句意。故选A。 2．考查副词。句意：过去几年里，能够存储数据、自动解锁门或用手势控制附近智能手机的交互式“智能服装”概念已经引起了极大的关注。分析句子成分可知，空处为副词形式，修饰空后的动词“unlock”“control”，以及上下文可知，空处意为“自动地”；选项D“automatically”，副词，意为“自动化地”，符合句意。故选D。 3．考查形容词。句意：例如，谷歌和李维斯（Levi's）合作推出了一款触摸感应夹克，可以操作智能手机。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词形式，修饰空后的“jacket”；根据上文的“The concept of interactive “smart clothing” that can store data,  ____2____  unlock doors or control a nearby smartphone with gestures has drawn great attention in the past couple of years.”可知，这些夹克是触摸感应的。选项G“touch-sensitive”，形容词，意为“触摸感应的”，符合句意。故选G。 4．考查动词。句意：为了消除对这种设备的需求，华盛顿大学的研究人员最近利用了他们所说的导电纱线之前未被利用的一种特性：它能够被磁化（即被铁制物体吸引）。分析句子成分可知，空处为动词原形；根据下文研究人员使用纱线的磁性而不是电性可知，空处意为“去除”。选项E“eliminate”，动词，意为“去除”，符合句意。故选E。 5．考查形容词。句意：使用纱线的磁性而不是电性“可能看起来只是细微的差别，但正是这一点使这项工作变得有趣且令人兴奋”。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词形式，修饰空后的“difference”，根据上文“Using magnetic instead of electric properties of the thread”可知，差别比较细微。选项K“slight”，形容词，意为“稍微的、细微的”，符合句意。故选K。 6．考查名词。句意：这种新技术使得研究人员能够做出在可穿戴设备中独一无二的事情：将它们变成存储设备。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式，担当宾语。根据下文“This step allowed the researchers to store up to 33 million different  ____7____ —such as pass codes for doors—on a shirt.”可知，研究人员将穿戴设备变成存储设备。选项J“storage”，名词形式，意为“储备”，符合句意。故选J。 7．考查名词。句意：这一步骤使研究人员能够在一件衬衫上存储多达3300万种不同的组合——例如门的密码。分析句子成分可知，根据空前的“33 million different”可知，空处为名词的复数形式；根据空后的“such as pass codes for doors”可推测，空处指的是密码组合。选项H“combinations”，名词的复数形式，意为“组合”，符合句意。故选H。 8．考查动词。句意：这些衣服在洗涤、烘干和熨烫后仍然能够存储数据，但它们无法逃脱时间的“橡皮擦”。根据下文“After about a week, the threads’ magnetic fields had  ____9____  by around 30 percent.”可知，随着时间的流逝，纱线的磁场减弱了，由此可知，它们都无法逃脱时间的“橡皮擦”。选项C“escape”，动词，意为“逃避、逃脱”，符合句意。故选C。 9．考查动词。句意：大约一周后，纱线的磁场减弱了约30%。分析句子成分可知，空处为动词形式；再根据上文“The clothes still stored data after washing, drying and ironing, but they could not ___8___ time’s erasers.”可推测，这些衣服的磁性无法逃脱时间的橡皮擦，由此可推测，磁性会减弱。选项I“weakened”，动词的分词形式，和空前的 “had”一致，意为“减弱”，符合句意。故选I。 10．考查形容词。句意：但目前，这些衣服可能最适合存储临时代码，如酒店房卡或商店服装标签上的代码。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词形式，修饰空后的名词“codes”；再根据下文“such as those found on hotel key cards or clothing tags in stores”可知，这些都是短暂的使用。选项B“temporary”，形容词，意为“暂时的”，符合句意。故选B。 Passage 2 【来源】上海市建平中学2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Today a visitor is more likely to find shops serving a different kind of beverage. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers. Between 2010 and 2023 coffee consumption per person in China 2 fourfold, according to the International Coffee Organization. The average Chinese person still drinks a fraction of the amount of coffee guzzled by the 3 American: 0.1kg per year compared with 4.7kg. But last year China 4 America, becoming the country with the most branded coffee shops (places like Starbucks) in the world, as the World Coffee Portal, a research firm, reported. China is home to nearly 50,000 such outlets. The early history of coffee in China is fuzzy. By some 5 it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. A record from that period described coffee as a “black liquor, which the foreign devils drank after meals, saying it can help with 6 ”. A century later Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff: I always thought it was for the foreign excellencies. But after China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House brought instant coffee to the country. They 7 to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. Western-style coffee shops arrive years later — chief among them Starbucks in 1999. The company’s freshly-brewed coffee was new to China. Having a laptop in one hand and a (relatively expensive) cup of Starbucks in the other became a way for young middle-class people to indicate their 8 . The biggest coffee-drinking demographic is still “white-collar workers in first-tier cities aged between 20 and 40”, according to Deloitte, a consulting firm. China’s experience 9 that of Japan some 50 years ago, when rising incomes led to more coffee consumption. Today, though, a wider range of the population is partaking thanks to the rise of 10 coffee chains selling affordable brews. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets.

Many die from 2 linked to breathing in smoke from kerosene (煤油), wood and charcoal fires, which are commonly used in the developing world for cooking and heating. “Household air pollution is one of the world’s greatest public health 3 and it is especially harmful for children,” says Martina Otto, Head of Secretariat of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Here’s a closer look at this issue. How widespread is household air pollution? Worldwide, nearly one in three people cook on inefficient stoves or over open fires, 4 in harmful smoke from so-called solid fuels such as wood, charcoal and animal dung. The problem is 5 serious in Africa, where nearly four in five people are exposed to household air pollution. That is part of a larger air pollution crisis. Some 99 percent of the world breathes household or outdoor air that the World Health Organization considers 6 . Who 7 the most from household air pollution? Household air pollution is devastating for everyone. It led to the premature deaths of an estimated 3.1 million people in 2021.

To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 1 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 2 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 3 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 4 of how interlinked these problems are. We should realize that a key 5 linking all the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We 6 forests, among other things, to grow more food — much of which goes to waste. A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world — of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid 7 attention. The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 8 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled. Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 9 of waste.

The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products.”可推知，我们认为造成全球变暖和海洋污染的是二氧化碳、塑料和其他废物，为了种更多的粮食，我们“忽略”了森林的作用，用动词ignore作谓语动词。故填ignore。 7．考查形容词。句意：很明显，一场针对浪费的全面战争应该立即引起重视。根据上文“of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled.”可知，浪费现象非常严重，所以需要“立即”引起重视，用形容词immediate作定语。故填immediate。 8．考查动词。句意：这种情况要求我们迅速摆脱“拿、造、扔”的思维方式，转向更可回收的思维方式，这意味着我们应该开始重新设计产品，当它们的使用寿命结束时，它们可以被回收利用。根据上文“ moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw””可推知，之前的思维方式需要改变，所以需要“重新设计”产品，用动名词redesigning作宾语。故填redesigning。 9．考查动词。句意：政府必须带头制定法律，奖励诸如限制浪费等绿色行为。根据上文“Governments must take the lead by introducing laws”可推知，政府需要制定法律“限制”浪费，用动名词limiting作宾语。故填limiting。 10．考查名词。句意：公司可以尽可能减少、再利用和回收，并与供应商和志同道合的人合作，实现可回收的商业模式。根据下文“suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models”可推知，公司需要与志同道合的人“合作”，用动词team，作谓语动词。故填team。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 选词填空题 话题1 个人成长与情感 话题4 饮食与消费文化 话题2 文化差异与跨文化交流 话题5 城市文化与历史遗产 话题3 科技与生活 话题6 环境与健康 话题1 个人成长与情感 涵盖个人成长中的语言学习、自我认知、家庭关系维护及人生感悟，展现个人在不同阶段的成长与情感变化。 1．《The Pain of Forgetting My First Language》：作者讲述母语广东话逐渐遗忘的经历，出生于纽约，父母从广东移民美国，因专注学习英语抑制广东话，导致后来与父母沟通困难（如说错方向、混淆颜色名称），最终决心重新学习广东话以修复与父母的关系，体现语言与家庭情感的关联。 2．《A Letter to My Daughter》：作者给即将上高中的女儿写信，分享人生感悟，提醒女儿不必追求完美、高中生活并非孤军奋战、会遇到不友好的人但善良的人更多，还鼓励女儿突破自我限制，相信自己有能力实现目标，体现长辈对晚辈成长的指引与关爱。 3．《In today’s rapidly changing world...》：强调在变化的世界中保持积极态度、尊重多元观点的重要性，指出社区对个人经历的塑造作用，参与社区活动有益成长，还提到历史遗迹承载共同记忆，鼓励人们将挑战视为垫脚石，重视社区内的人际连接，探讨个人成长与社区、心态的关系。 Passage 1 【来源】上海外国语大学附属外国语学校松江云间中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but 1 a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it 2 from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them. I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they 51 to the U.S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, 3 them no time to learn English. When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress (抑制) Cantonese in an 4 to blend in and to feel more American. Over time, Cantonese played a smaller 5 in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to 6 me. “I like your green dress”, I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often 7 words or failing completely to recall them. It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be 8 . My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no 9 the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore.

There is nothing perfect. There is only good enough, but what is most important is believing you’re good enough — just as you are. Also, remember that you’re not in this boat alone. You’re not the only one facing a new school, new classmates, new teachers, new 4 and new pressures. At some point, everyone else is — or was — where you are right now. I hope you find 5 in that.

We often find ourselves in typical 2 , where we earn our living and respond to daily challenges. However, life is more than just a series of tasks; it is an adventure that inspires us to connect with others and to inspire them in return. Communities play a crucial role in shaping our experiences. On behalf of those who strive for improvement, it is important to recognize the aspects that contribute to a thriving environment. In terms of social dynamics, we share a variety of values and challenges, including the pressing issue of poverty. Addressing such matters requires 3 efforts and a commitment to uplift one another. It 4 to engage actively in community initiatives, as these efforts can lead to significant improvements. Reflecting on our contributions, we can identify what we have in common with others. This 5 understanding not only builds pride but also helps settle any feelings of embarrassment regarding our differences. While it is natural to feel ashamed of certain past actions, it is vital to remain focused on the opportunities for growth. By connecting individuals to resources and support, we can foster an environment that encourages respect and mutual admiration. In every community, there are historic sites that serve as reminders of our shared past. These former landmarks hold stories and lessons that can inspire future generations. 6 established as places of significance, they continue to feature in our cultural narratives. When we admire these sites, we also acknowledge the importance of preserving history for the sake of future opportunities. Moreover, being 7 to certain activities or organizations within the community can lead to energetic participation. Whether it’s volunteering, attending workshops, or engaging in local arts, these endeavors allow us to explore our interests and contribute to something larger than ourselves. In case you are wondering how to get involved, many communities have outreach programs designed to connect people with opportunities that match their skills and passions. As we navigate through life, it is essential to take a moment to reflect on our journeys. Each 8 we face contributes to our growth and understanding of the world. Although we may encounter disappointment along the way, it is crucial to view these experiences as 9 stones rather than setbacks. By maintaining a proactive stance, we can inspire others to embark on their adventures, knowing they have a supportive community behind them. 10 , the connections we build within our communities are invaluable. By working together, respecting each other’s experiences, and embracing our unique perspectives, we can create a vibrant environment that enriches all our lives. Let us continue to inspire and uplift each other, ensuring that future generations will also benefit from the foundations we build today. 话题 2 文化差异与跨文化交流 聚焦中西方文化差异、不同文化背景下的行为习惯及跨文化关系维护，探讨文化差异带来的影响与应对方法。 1．《Half a life half way around the world》：作者讲述在美国和中国生活的经历，初到中国时因文化差异闹笑话（如用 “Long time no see” 开玩笑被纠正），在中式家庭聚餐中误解 “慢慢吃” 的礼仪，逐渐适应中国习俗（如他人夹菜、餐桌饮酒礼仪），体现跨文化适应过程。 2．《The most difficult part of a Chinese-Western marriage...》：指出中西婚姻的难点在于文化差异，中国传统文化以儒家思想为基础，婚姻涉及家庭亲友；西方文化源于古希腊罗马文明，更注重夫妻独立性和隐私，还为跨文化关系提供建议（设身处地、尊重伴侣、了解对方文化），分析文化差异对婚姻的影响。 3．《Imagine meeting a foreigner for the first time...》：引入 “文化智商（CQ）” 概念，指出在无语言障碍的跨文化交流中，调整语气、肢体语言等行为可提升 CQ，以 Soon Ang 组建国际团队却因文化差异无法协作为例，说明 CQ 对跨文化合作的重要性，还对比高低 CQ 者的行为差异（如误解日本同事沉默为不友好 vs 理解为尊重），强调 CQ 在跨文化交流中的作用。 Passage 1 【来源】上海安亭高级中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

It is a strange feeling to know your own country only as a child and to become an adult on foreign 31 I experienced very little culture shock upon arriving in 1998 because I knew very little about China. I had no 1 . Just live and learn. I arrived in China as a college student at Nanjing University. On my first day living at the student dormitory, I went downstairs to the convenience store to buy a(n) 2 of chips. I came back five minutes later to buy a Coke. As a joke I said to the cashier, “Long time no see!” She 3 corrected me and said,“ No,you were here five minutes ago.”That was lesson number one in China: Irony does not 4 . Soon after, a local friend invited me to his house for my first ever lunch in a Chinese home. His father finished eating first, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to me manman chi(“Eat slowly”). I was 5 . I didn’t realize this was part of Chinese etiquette. He wanted to express that just because he was done eating, I should not feel 6 to finish. I thought, “Am I eating too fast? Why does he care about the speed at which I eat?” After they explained it to me, I learned my second important lesson: To learn the language, one has to learn the culture. I had already studied the language for three years before I came to China, but there was so much I didn’t understand. Why were people putting food into my rice bowl? Why were people at the table telling me when I could and couldn’t drink my cup of beer? Why was it okay for everyone to spit things out 7 onto the table, but they covered up their mouths with their free hand when using a toothpick to be polite? Living my adult life in a foreign country has become a life-long learning process.Chinese   8 have now become my own. They are so deeply 9 in my daily routine that I do not think about them.

The traditional Chinese culture is 1 on the Confucian philosophy (儒家哲学). However, the Western culture is founded on ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and are therefore reflected in 2 relationship and marriage. It is not easy to keep a Chinese-Western relationship, for cultural differences may result in 3 . From the traditional Chinese 4 , marriage is a relationship involving family, friends and relatives. In contrast, Westerners’ marriages recognize the 5 and privacy of the couple. That is why Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our 6 if we are asked to do so. Chinese people need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, we are somehow still 7 to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not oppose it. My suggestion for the cross-cultural relationship is always trying to put yourself in the other’s shoes; always 8 your partner but making clear your own red lines; showing your interest in the 9 culture and carefully remarking on it and so on. There have been more and more cross-cultural marriages 10 recently. I would like to take this chance to sincerely wish them the very best in their love journeys.

There may appear to be no 1 communication barrier. Would you adapt the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech? How about 2 your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you? These are just a small part of the changes in behavior that can improve your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ. There is growing evidence that suggests that they are well 3 learning. “The number one predictor of your success in today’s 4 world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise,” writes social scientist David Livermore. “It’s your CQ.” Much of the research on CQ has been done by Professor Soon Ang with the Nanyang Technological University. In the late 1990s, her job was dealing with the “Y2K bug.” It was a software bug that was feared would bring down the world’s computer networks. Ang put together an international team of programmers to update computer systems in Singapore. They were some of the brightest 5 in the industry. However, Ang soon found that these people just couldn’t work together. Often, 6 members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely different ways. Clearly, it wasn’t a question of language skills or expertise. Instead, she saw that these employees were held back by each other’s cultural differences. This would lead Ang to work with psychologist P. Christopher Earley. Together they built a theory of CQ. They defined it as “the capability to 7 effectively in a variety of cultural contexts.” Someone with a low CQ might view everyone else’s behavior through his own cultural lens. If he comes from a more 8 environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly. In aviation, such cultural differences might cause a(n) 9 in communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. The consequences would be unthinkable. A person at the top of the scale, meanwhile, might realize that silence is one of the   10 of respect. In Japanese culture, feedback often won’t be given unless it is asked for. As a result, he/she will offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions. 话题3 科技与生活 围绕科技产品（如智能服装、社交媒体）对生活的影响、科技应用的创新及潜在问题展开，展现科技与日常生活的融合。 1．《How Many Devices Are You Wearing?》：介绍 “智能服装” 的发展，谷歌与李维斯合作推出触摸感应夹克可操作手机，华盛顿大学研究人员利用导电纱线的磁性，将服装变成存储设备（如存储门密码），但存储数据会随时间减弱（一周后磁场减弱 30%），目前适合存储临时代码（如酒店房卡密码），体现科技在服装领域的创新与局限。 2．《A recent article put a spotlight on how social media...》：探讨社交媒体对青少年身体形象的影响，网红分享 “一天吃什么” 视频虽无恶意，但易引发攀比；男性在身体形象问题上更难表达困扰，还提到关注积极内容可提升自信，提醒青少年社交媒体仅展示他人生活片段，分析科技产品对青少年心理的影响。 Passage 1 【来源】上海市闵行区六校联考2024-2025学年高一上学期10月期中英语试题 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

The classic bad dream of suddenly realizing you’re naked in public could soon get a futuristic twist: it might involve the 1 of losing not just your modesty but also pass codes. The concept of interactive “smart clothing” that can store data, 2 unlock doors or control a nearby smartphone with gestures has drawn great attention in the past couple of years. For example, Google and Levi’s created a(n) 3 jacket that can operate a smartphone. This and other smart clothes are made with conductive thread and usually require an attached electronic device. To 4 the need for such devices, researchers at the University of Washington recently took advantage of what they say is a previously unexploited property of conductive thread: its ability to be magnetized (磁化的)—attracted to objects made of iron. Using magnetic instead of electric properties of the thread “may seem like a 5 difference, but it’s what makes this work interesting and exciting”. The new technique allowed the researchers to do something they say is unique among wearables: turn them into 6 devices. The Washington team magnetized a piece of cloth decorated with conductive thread, giving different parts of the cloth a north or south orientation. This step allowed the researchers to store up to 33 million different 7 —such as pass codes for doors—on a shirt. They also created magnetic gloves that could control a nearby smartphone with gestures. The clothes still stored data after washing, drying and ironing, but they could not 8 time’s erasers. After about a week, the threads’ magnetic fields had 9 by around 30 percent. The researchers suggest that using custom-made thread designed to hold stronger magnetic fields might work longer. But for now the clothes may be best suited for storing 10 codes, such as those found on hotel key cards or clothing tags in stores.

People seem to notice the struggles females face when it comes to body image issues, but it is all too common for them to overlook the struggles that males face. As a result, males are often discouraged from sharing their struggles and are often ignored when they do make 7 such struggles. — Devynne, Comets Some said that following body-positive content can be encouraging. I find that I encounter more body-positive content than that which is negative. The reason for this, though, 8 on who you follow. When I see body-positive content on social media, I find that it just makes me feel confident about the body I have.

Old whitewashed buildings line the banks. A century ago, some of these would have been chaguans, or traditional tea-houses, where locals 1 to discuss the news or conduct business. Today a visitor is more likely to find shops serving a different kind of beverage. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers. Between 2010 and 2023 coffee consumption per person in China 2 fourfold, according to the International Coffee Organization. The average Chinese person still drinks a fraction of the amount of coffee guzzled by the 3 American: 0.1kg per year compared with 4.7kg. But last year China 4 America, becoming the country with the most branded coffee shops (places like Starbucks) in the world, as the World Coffee Portal, a research firm, reported. China is home to nearly 50,000 such outlets. The early history of coffee in China is fuzzy. By some 5 it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. A record from that period described coffee as a “black liquor, which the foreign devils drank after meals, saying it can help with 6 ”. A century later Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff: I always thought it was for the foreign excellencies. But after China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House brought instant coffee to the country. They 7 to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. Western-style coffee shops arrive years later — chief among them Starbucks in 1999. The company’s freshly-brewed coffee was new to China. Having a laptop in one hand and a (relatively expensive) cup of Starbucks in the other became a way for young middle-class people to indicate their 8 . The biggest coffee-drinking demographic is still “white-collar workers in first-tier cities aged between 20 and 40”, according to Deloitte, a consulting firm. China’s experience 9 that of Japan some 50 years ago, when rising incomes led to more coffee consumption. Today, though, a wider range of the population is partaking thanks to the rise of 10 coffee chains selling affordable brews. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equivalent Starbucks offering.

Many die from 2 linked to breathing in smoke from kerosene (煤油), wood and charcoal fires, which are commonly used in the developing world for cooking and heating. “Household air pollution is one of the world’s greatest public health 3 and it is especially harmful for children,” says Martina Otto, Head of Secretariat of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Here’s a closer look at this issue. How widespread is household air pollution? Worldwide, nearly one in three people cook on inefficient stoves or over open fires, 4 in harmful smoke from so-called solid fuels such as wood, charcoal and animal dung. The problem is 5 serious in Africa, where nearly four in five people are exposed to household air pollution. That is part of a larger air pollution crisis.

To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 1 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 2 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 3 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 4 of how interlinked these problems are. We should realize that a key 5 linking all the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products.

The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 8 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled. Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 9 of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and 10 themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
