After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics. “I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn’t do it.” said Dhruv’s mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates’ parents reaching out for help. She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids. IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it’s like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them.” She added. By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” Dr. Mantri said, with Dhruv adding “I don’t think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.” 4. Why did Dr. Mantri choose an abacus as a teaching tool? A. It seemed easier for children to learn. B. It was for children with visual problem. C. It emphasized basic number practice. D. It was a proven effective method. 5. Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text? A. Its success rate is high. B. Its fun nature is appealing. C. They can calculate faster. D. They aim for good grades. 6. What can be known about Dhruv from the last paragraph? A. He is already teaching data science. B. He was addicted to the Internet at 12. C. His career path surprised his teachers. D. He studies full-time at Glasgow University. 7. What is the main point the author wants to show? A. Creative teaching can change a child’s path. B. Parents’ support plays a key role in study. C. Early struggles may lead to later success. D. Using an abacus improves children’s math skills. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国女性曼特里博士在印度长大，发现儿子在五年级时算术有困难，于是用算盘帮助他理解数学，最终儿子在数学和科技领域取得成功的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.(算盘是一种经过尝试和测试的方法，埃及人用它们来建造金字塔)”可知，曼特里博士选择算盘作为教学工具是因为它是一种被证明的有效方法。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it’s like a game.(IT专家曼特里博士说，这个不起眼的算盘可以用来计算数万亿的数字，孩子们喜欢在上面学习，因为它就像一个游戏)”可知，孩子们喜欢在算盘上学习是因为它的趣味性很有吸引力。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I don’t think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.(我想我的老师当时不会猜到我会从事数据科学职业)”可知，德鲁夫的职业道路让他的老师感到惊讶。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章讲述了曼特里博士发现儿子德鲁夫在算术上有困难，于是用算盘帮助他理解数学，最终德鲁夫在数学和科技领域取得了成功的故事，这表明了作者主要想展示创造性的教学可以改变孩子的道路。故选A。 C In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was dynamically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand. Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Bialystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight. In 1887, Zamenhof published his ideas. By 1905, the fundamental rules of Esperanto had been established by a conference of speakers in France, and Esperantist groups began popping up across the world. In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high-school language lessons. Why isn’t Esperanto the current go-to for international communication? Esperanto is “neutral” (中立的) because it is not a national language, but that also means it does not have a state backing its use abroad. “People having to make a choice will see English as the financially better option,” says Sammy Kennedy, a young Esperantist who helps promote Esperanto in Manchester. “However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness. 8. What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text? A. Small villages attract more tourists. B. Local dialects are hard to follow. C. Beginners’ courses are profitable. D. Esperanto is gaining popularity. 9. Why was Esperanto initially created? A. To promote world peace. B. To advance medicine. C. To ease peer pressure. D. To replace English. 10 What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Esperanto? A. Its distinct features. B. Its development. C. Its appeal to the kids. D. Its links with English. 11. What does Kennedy say Esperanto brings to its speakers? A. A job of caring for others. B. A sense of belonging. C. A stronger state backing. D. A clearer national identity. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界语（Esperanto）的兴起，其创建者的初衷，世界语的特点以及其未能成为国际通用语言的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was energetically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand.(在巴拉斯顿村，可以听到一种奇怪的语言。这不是友好的陶艺方言，而是听起来有点像法语和德语的混合体。一种易于学习的、通用的第二语言的概念被大力推广，吸引了许多发言者到该地区。最近学习世界语的人越来越多。为了满足需求，世界语协会将初学者课程的数量增加了四倍)”可知，文章开头描述了世界语越来越受欢迎的现象。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Białystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight.(世界语是由犹太裔波兰医生Zamenhof创立的，他于1859年出生于Białystok，现居波兰。不同群体之间的暴力在世界上很常见。还是个孩子的时候，Zamenhof就突然想到，一种易于学习和理解的第二语言可以让人们像同龄人一样交谈，而不是打架)”可知，世界语最初被创造出来是为了促进世界和平。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high- school language lessons.(在世界语中，所有以-o结尾的词都是名词，以-a结尾的词是形容词，而以-e结尾的词是副词。例如，“vida”代表视觉，“vide”代表视觉，这些概念在英语中需要不同的词汇。如果你需要找到一个相反的，你可以加上“mal”前缀：“pura”是干净的，“malpura”是脏的。这些积木可以帮助说话者快速学习新单词。没有语法上的性别，动词是严格规则的。与多年的高中语言课程相比，学外语简直是小菜一碟)”可知，第三段主要告诉我们关于世界语的独特的特点。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness.(然而，世界语能给你英语永远无法给你的东西。”他认为说世界语的社区“包容和关怀”帮助他克服了孤独)”可知，肯尼迪说世界语给它的使用者带来了归属感。故选B。 D A build-it-yourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’×5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt. To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink. 12 What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph? A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive. C. It’s complex. D. It’s mobile. 13. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The tube. B. The still. C. The hole. D. The cup. 14. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still? A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place. C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. 15. Which title best summarizes the passage? A. Addressing Water Needs. B. Building Essential Outdoor Skills. C. Constructing a Water Still. D. Finding Drinkable Water. 【答案】12 D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自制太阳能蒸馏器的优势、所需设备以及具体的制作步骤，帮助人们在缺乏饮用水的地区获取可饮用的水。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.(这些部件可以折叠成一个整齐的小包裹，系在腰带上)”可知，太阳能蒸馏器的设备便于携带，具有可移动性。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity.(要制作一个能工作的蒸馏器，用一根锋利的棍子或石头挖一个直径4英尺、深3英尺的洞。尽量在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高集水器的效率)”可知，挖洞是为了制作蒸馏器，而在潮湿地方挖洞是为了让这个蒸馏器能更好地集水，所以the water catcher指的就是前文提到的“the still (蒸馏器)”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二、三段对制作步骤的描述：第一步“use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep(用锋利的棍子或石头挖一个直径4英尺、深3英尺的洞)”（对应选项 A）；第二步“Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole(把杯子放在洞的最深处)”（对应选项 B）；第三步“Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock(接下来，用塑料布盖住洞口，用泥土固定塑料布的边缘，然后用一块石头压住塑料布的中心)”，其中cover the hole with the plastic sheet是第三步的开始，而weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock是第三步的后续动作，也是整个制作过程的最后一步。选项D是第三步的前半部分，并非最后一步，选项C才是制作可使用的太阳能蒸馏器的最后一步。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了自制太阳能蒸馏器的作用和所需设备，第二、三段详细阐述了制作太阳能蒸馏器的具体步骤，第四段说明其工作原理。整体围绕“制作太阳能蒸馏器”展开，选项 C“制作蒸馏器”准确概括了文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何写出好的论文提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers.(许多高中毕业生都带着焦虑来写大学申请论文。他们觉得自己的生活太过平凡，无法编造一个能打动招生官的故事)”以及后文“It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments.(它只需要真实地反映他们的个人成长，从日常生活中汲取灵感)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出强有力的文章需要真实，而不是编造的故事。故G选项“但是一篇强有力的文章并不需要一个戏剧性的故事”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you.(我曾经和一个不知道写什么的男孩一起工作。家庭吗？最喜欢的科目吗？他一直保持沉默，直到我提议：“爱好？”他害羞地说：“我喜欢拳击。”然后，他的文章展开了，不是关于拳击本身，而是关于自律和韧性，这些品质是任何一所大学都会钦佩的。所以看看那些塑造你的东西)”可知，上文主要论述了如何找到文章的主题然后展开文章的建议。故F选项“一旦找到了主题，这篇文章就自然而然地写好了”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned.(一些学生试图通过非传统的形式来吸引注意力，比如一首诗或一个剧本。大多数仍然遵循传统的讲故事模式：一个引子，一个故事，一个教训)”可知，上文列举了不同的讲故事模式，本句承接上文，说明这些形式的作用。故E选项“无论采用何种形式，一篇文章都会因为它的故事而脱颖而出”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions?(作为一名写作导师，一开始我对语言规则很着迷。我应该帮助我的学生坚持“标准英语”，还是让他们用他们自然说话的方式来写——即使其中包括非正式的表达？)”以及后文“It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone.(这也是关于自然地表达想法，与读者建立联系。用轻松、对话的语气讲述一个幽默的童年事件并没有什么坏处)”可知，本句主要是作者对于写作中的语言的感悟，故C选项“我很快意识到写作不仅仅是语言”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell.(论文写作教会学生通过重新思考思想、精炼语言和重写草稿来精确地表达自己。通过多次编辑，他们将发现更深入的见解，并创造一个只有他们才能讲述的故事)”可知，后文提到经过编辑，文章会融入更深入的见解，说明了修改对于文章的重要性。故B选项“一篇伟大的文章最终是在修改中形成的”符合语境，故选B。 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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The four people have persuaded companies to give them £250,000 worth of toys and food for nothing.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文​。讲述了大卫・古德费洛和他的三个朋友组成“善意攻势”团体，成功说服企业捐赠价值25万英镑的玩具和食品，并计划向伦敦北部每户人家分发。文章还介绍了他们获取捐赠物品的方式、团队成立之初的困境、过往的善举以及他们对善意的看法等内容。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。​句意：下周一，他们将把这些东西分发给伦敦北部的每户人家。A. lead带领；B. attach依附；C. distribute分发；D. apply申请。​根据上文“persuaded companies to give them £250,000 worth of toys and food”可知他们得到了捐赠的物品，结合空后“to every house”，此处应是将这些物品分发给每户人家。故选C。 【22题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们专门为陌生人实施随机的善举。A. bringing out出版；B. working out算出；C. making out辨认出；D. carrying out实施。“carry out acts of kindness”为固定搭配，且结合后文“their first successful ‘kindness act’ was to help...”可知，此处指他们专门为陌生人“实施”随机的善事。故选D。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们专门为陌生人实施随机的善举。A. strangers陌生人；B. customers顾客；C. children孩子；D. friends朋友。根据“random acts of kindness”可知，random（随机的）意味着善举对象不是特定人群，而后文“they gave free food to shelter seekers”中“shelter seekers”（寻求庇护者）也属于陌生人群体，因此 strangers符合语境。故选A。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：据他们说，如果你坚持不懈，很容易就能拿到要捐赠的物品。A. persist坚持；B. bother打扰；C. concentrate集中；D. adapt适应。根据下文“Our phone bills are enormous”可知，他们为获取捐赠物品打了大量电话，这需要“坚持”的态度。故选A。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：你只需给无数的制造商打电话，看他们是否愿意捐赠一些东西。A. familiar熟悉的；B. endless无数的；C. overseas海外的；D. aimless无目的的。结合下文“Our phone bills are enormous”可知，为了找到愿意捐赠的人，他们需要联系“无数的(endless)”制造商进行尝试。“高额话费”是联系“无数”制造商的结果。故选B。 【26题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我们的电话费很高，但最终你会找到有同情心的人。A. ultimately最终；B. initially最初；C. unfortunately不幸地；D. naturally自然地。前文“Our phone bills are enormous”说明过程中花费了大量成本，而but表转折，强调尽管过程不易，“最终”能找到愿意捐赠的人。故选A。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一年前，这四个朋友一起启动了他们的工作。A. concluded结束；B. launched启动；C. advertised广告；D. gathered聚集。根据后文“At first, most people were deeply suspicious”可知，“At first”（最初）对应“启动工作”的时间点，说明他们一年前“启动”了这项事业。故选B。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们认为我们不会遵守承诺。A. pass on to传递给；B. pay attention to注意；C. live up to遵守；D. look forward to期待。根据后文“the group soon learned how to do it properly and convince people of their good...”可知，人们最初怀疑他们“不遵守承诺”，因此他们需要证明自己能“遵守”承诺。故选C。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但这个团体很快就学会了如何正确地做这件事，并让人们相信他们的良好意图。A. strategies策略；B. routines常规；C. methods方法；D. intentions意图。根据前文“they didn’t think we’d live up to our promises”可知，人们怀疑的是他们的“意图”而非“方法”或“策略”，因此他们需要让人们相信“良好意图”。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们第一次成功的“善举”是帮助一个男孩实现了看足球比赛的梦想，去年 10 月，他们向寻求庇护者提供了免费食物。A. fulfill实现；B. affect影响；C. obtain获得；D. found建立。“fulfill one’s dream”为固定搭配，且结合前文“kindness act”（善举）的语境，“帮助男孩实现梦想”是典型的善举，fulfill符合“达成愿望”的含义。故选A。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们第一次成功的“善举”是帮助一个男孩实现了看足球比赛的梦想，去年10月，他们向寻求庇护者提供了免费食物。A. status地位；B. shelter庇护所；C. power权力；D. peace和平。根据后文“We’ve met people struggling just to live”可知，他们帮助的是“生活困难的人”，“shelter seekers”（寻求庇护者）属于此类人群，且“shelter”与“struggling just to live”（挣扎求生）语境一致，故选B。 【32题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：他们渴望为社会做贡献，但他们无法工作，甚至连买食物都不容易。A. reluctantly不情愿地；B. patiently耐心地；C. eagerly渴望地；D. passively被动地。根据后文“but they can’t work”可知，but表转折，强调他们“虽然无法工作，但渴望贡献社会”。故选C。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“善意攻势”竭尽全力避免媒体曝光，但他们希望看到更多的善举。A. oppose反对；B. double加倍；C. encourage鼓励；D. avoid避免。根据后文“but they would like to see more acts of kindness”可知，but表转折，说明他们的重点不是“曝光自己”，而是“让更多人参与善举”，因此是“避免”媒体曝光。故选D。 【34题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我学到的是，善意是有影响力的。A. complex复杂的；B. reasonable合理的；C. accurate准确的；D. influential有影响力的。根据后文“If you do good deeds, you’ll get a lot out of it and others will follow”可知，“others will follow”（其他人会效仿）说明善意能产生“影响”。故选D。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：如果你做好事，你会从中得到很多，其他人也会跟着做。A. sing high praise高度赞扬；B. do good deeds做好事；C. set clear standards设定明确标准；D. pay close attention密切关注。全文围绕“The Kindness Offensive”的“善举”展开，前文多次提到“their first successful ‘kindness act’”“give free food to shelter seekers”等“做好事”的内容，且“do good deeds”与后文“others will follow”（效仿善举）语境一致。故选B。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Originally constructed around 256 BCE by the State of Qin as an irrigation and flood control system, Dujiangyan is a remarkable example of ancient engineering skill and is still ___36___ use today.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door (滑动玻璃门), talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree’s broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 注意： 1．续写词数应为100左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I knew I had to do something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “It works! The birds are back!” Matthew announced. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I knew I had to do something. The white dove and its mate had provided brightness during my dark days. Now it was time to help them in return. I cut a piece of hardware cloth, forming it into the shape of a nest and then securing the ends. I then hammered it into the wall next to the rubber tree. After I had finished all the work, there was only an hour before the doves usually made their visit. Matthew and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and hoping. Paragraph 2: “It works! The birds are back!” Matthew announced. Hearing my son’s excited voice, which was as clear as a bell, I looked up. There they were-swooping and circling near the nest, trying to add some twigs to their new home. A few weeks later, three babies broke free from their shells. “Chirp, chirp,” Matthew sang. I held him in my arms and kissed him, enjoying the happiness of the moment. Looking at their flittering shadows and hearing them chirp, I felt the dim grayness within my heart disappeared, replaced by the strength of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展顺序为线索展开，讲述了作者的儿子Matthew每天都看到一些鸽子来到自己家的院子里，作者和儿子注意到鸽子要在橡胶树上筑巢。一天夜里，刮起了一阵大风，把筑在树上的鸽巢掀到地上。作者以为鸽子们再也不回来，但它们又回来了，并且又在树上筑巢。尽管大风又一次摧毁了它们所有的辛勤工作，但是它们继续努力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我必须做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何帮助鸽子们，并且等待鸽子们的到来。 ②由第二段首句内容“起作用了!鸟儿又回来了!’马修宣布。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子们回来后的情况。鸽子筑巢给新家添加树枝、孵蛋。这让作者意识到生活充满了无法想象的奇迹和惊喜。 2.续写线索：作者决定帮助鸽子——剪硬布，做成鸟巢的形状，然后把两端固定好——满怀希望地等待——鸽子回来发现新巢——小鸽子孵出——作者感到生活充满奇迹和惊喜 3.词汇激活行为类 ①帮助：help /do sb. a favor/give sb. a hand ②完成：complete/finish/accomplish ③提供：provide / offer/supply 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②开心：happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1]I cut a piece of hardware cloth, forming it into the shape of a nest and then securing the ends.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]After I had finished all the work, there was only an hour before the doves usually made their visit.（运用了after和before引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福州一中2026届高三第二次质量检测 英语学科试卷 （完卷120分钟 满分150分） 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，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics. “I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn’t do it.” said Dhruv’s mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates’ parents reaching out for help. She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids. IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it’s like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them.” She added. By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” Dr. Mantri said, with Dhruv adding “I don’t think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.” 4. Why did Dr. Mantri choose an abacus as a teaching tool? A It seemed easier for children to learn. B. It was for children with visual problem. C It emphasized basic number practice. D. It was a proven effective method. 5. Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text? A. Its success rate is high. B. Its fun nature is appealing. C. They can calculate faster. D. They aim for good grades. 6. What can be known about Dhruv from the last paragraph? A. He is already teaching data science. B. He was addicted to the Internet at 12. C. His career path surprised his teachers. D. He studies full-time at Glasgow University. 7. What is the main point the author wants to show? A. Creative teaching can change a child’s path. B. Parents’ support plays a key role in study. C. Early struggles may lead to later success. D. Using an abacus improves children’s math skills. C In the village of Barlaston, a strange language can be heard. It’s not the friendly Potteries dialect, but something that sounds a little like the lovechild of French and German. The concept of an easy-to-learn, universal second tongue was dynamically promoted, drawing many speakers to the area. There has been an increase in people taking up Esperanto recently. The Esperanto Association has increased the number of beginners’ courses by four-fold to keep up with demand. Esperanto was created by Zamenhof, a Jewish-Polish doctor born in 1859 in Bialystok, now in Poland. Violence between different groups was common in the world. While still a child, Zamenhof hit upon the idea that a constructed second language that was easy to learn and understand would allow people to talk as peers, rather than fight. In 1887, Zamenhof published his ideas. By 1905, the fundamental rules of Esperanto had been established by a conference of speakers in France, and Esperantist groups began popping up across the world. In Esperanto, all words ending -o are nouns, an -a ending is for an adjective, while -e denotes (表示) an adverb. For instance, “vida” for visual and “vide” for visually, concepts that require different words in English. If you need to find an opposite, you can add the “mal” prefix: “pura” is clean, “malpura” is dirty. These building blocks can help speakers learn new words very quickly. There are no grammatical genders, verbs are strictly regular. It’s child’s play to learn compared with years of high-school language lessons. Why isn’t Esperanto the current go-to for international communication? Esperanto is “neutral” (中立的) because it is not a national language, but that also means it does not have a state backing its use abroad. “People having to make a choice will see English as the financially better option,” says Sammy Kennedy, a young Esperantist who helps promote Esperanto in Manchester. “However, Esperanto gives you things that English will never be able to give you.” He credits the “accepting and caring” Esperanto-speaking community with helping him to overcome loneliness. 8. What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text? A. Small villages attract more tourists. B. Local dialects are hard to follow. C. Beginners’ courses are profitable. D. Esperanto is gaining popularity. 9. Why was Esperanto initially created? A. To promote world peace. B. To advance medicine. C. To ease peer pressure. D. To replace English. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Esperanto? A. Its distinct features. B. Its development. C. Its appeal to the kids. D. Its links with English. 11. What does Kennedy say Esperanto brings to its speakers? A. A job of caring for others. B. A sense of belonging. C. A stronger state backing. D. A clearer national identity. D A build-it-yourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’×5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt. To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup.

They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The four people have persuaded companies to give them £250,000 worth of toys and food for nothing.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door (滑动玻璃门), talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree’s broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 注意： 1．续写词数应为100左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I knew I had to do something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “It works!
