As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat. I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.” I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. ”Hey, I can fix it," said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts (零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800. Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most importantly, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine. 4. What used to be the author’s hope for his son? A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance. C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals. 5. Why did the author let his son repair the car? A. He believed that his son had the ability to fix it. B. He believed that it would save him much time. C. He believed that it wouldn’t cause him any more loss. D. He believed that other motorheads would come to help. 6. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are__________. A. tidy and hard-working B. cheerful and smart C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude 7. What did the author realize in the end? A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B. It is important for one to make the honor roll. C. Architects play a more important role than builders. D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers. C Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain? Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica. To deal with the plastics pollution the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise. Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs. 8. Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1? A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics. B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics. C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources. D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials. 9. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling? A. The risks caused by recycling. B. The undeveloped recycling technology. C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling. D. People’s lack of concern for the environment. 10. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Avoids. D. Represents. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management? A. Optimistic. B. Hopeless. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. D David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol. Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress. What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’” 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cure for the reduction of creativity. B. The harmful effects caused by multitasking. C. The common use of multitasking in the USA. D. The reason for the popularity of multitasking. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature? A. Faster reaction speeds. B. Better school performance. C. Improved mental function. D. Feelings of calm and relaxation. 14. How did the researchers get the result of their study? A. By doing surveys. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon. 15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”? A. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective. B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views. C. It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress. D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function. 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。 Homework has long been tied to school. ___16___ But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time? The idea of homework goes back a long way. Historians trace it to ancient Rome. Pliny the Younger, a teacher around AD 61—113, encouraged students to practice speaking at home. Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. ___17___ In the U. S. , it grew common in the early. 20th century. In 1957, American schools piled on homework to raise academic demands. By the1980s, it was seen as key to academic success. ___18___ For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap. Then everything changed. As educators recognized the limitations of passive, one-size-fits-all tasks in encouraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditional worksheets and reading logs gave way to project-based assignments or online lessons, clouding the line between homework and classwork. However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. ___19___ So, what now? Keep, change, or get rid of it? ___20___ It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a world where information is instant, the purpose of homework needs a fresh look. A. The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad. B. It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution. C. Furthermore, access to reliable internet became a critical factor. D. The concept, however, faded significantly during the Middle Ages. E. The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky. F. Without engagement feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness. G. Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2014, Xu Yitang, a student at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, saw corals at an aquarium for the first time.

Xu felt an increasing sense of urgency and ___31___ to protect them. Fast-forward to today, he ___32___ a coral conservationist in a Sanya-based tropical biological research center. Each day, he spends several hours diving deep under the waves to observe and ___33___ the growth and development of the creatures. His story has been ___34___ in the recently premiered online program Burning Youth that aims to use documentary shorts and in-depth studio interviews to ___35___ the inspiring stories of young Chinese people from various walks of life. 21.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年第一学期十月调研高二英语试卷 （时间：120分钟满分150分） 2025年10月 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.

Book reports weren’t written until the final threat. I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.” I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. ”Hey, I can fix it," said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts (零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800. Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most importantly, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine. 4. What used to be the author’s hope for his son? A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance. C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals. 5. Why did the author let his son repair the car? A. He believed that his son had the ability to fix it. B. He believed that it would save him much time. C. He believed that it wouldn’t cause him any more loss. D. He believed that other motorheads would come to help. 6. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are__________. A. tidy and hard-working B. cheerful and smart C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude 7. What did the author realize in the end? A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B. It is important for one to make the honor roll. C. Architects play a more important role than builders. D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子在学校里不是优秀学生，最后成了一名修车工，这并不是作者希望他走的路。但是作者通过让儿子给自己修车的经历意识到：在学校里是优秀学生并不是那么重要，让孩子追随父亲的足迹也是不明智的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for.(你开始意识到你的儿子，跟随你的脚步，可能会实现你的愿望。)”可知，作者原先希望儿子去实现自己未能实现的目标。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第六段最后“I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.(我对此表示怀疑，但还是由着他去了，因为我没有什么可失去的。) ”可知，作者认为让儿子修车不会给自己带来任何损失。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句“These kids are happiest when doing repairs.(这些孩子在做修理工作的时候最开心的。) ”可知，这些孩子做修理工作时是快乐的；由第二句“They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.(他们谈笑风生，活在自己轻松的世界里。) ”可知，这些孩子在他们自己的世界里是放松的；由第三句“And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.(尽管他们的手和衣服很脏，但他们的头脑很聪明。) ”可知，这些孩子们的头脑是聪明的。由此可知，在作者看来，这些孩子是快乐的，放松的，聪明的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句“Most importantly, I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.(最重要的是，我明白了父亲们不需要孩子来模仿他们的脚步或其他地方。)”可知，作者最后意识到，让孩子追随自己的足迹是不明智的。故选A项。 C Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain? Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica. To deal with the plastics pollution the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise. Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs. 8. Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1? A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics. B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics. C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources. D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials. 9. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling? A. The risks caused by recycling. B. The undeveloped recycling technology. C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling. D. People’s lack of concern for the environment. 10. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Avoids. D. Represents. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management? A. Optimistic. B. Hopeless. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出塑料有不可忽视的益处，也存在微塑料等危害，提出应通过优化回收、合理填埋等管理塑料，且看好其管理潜力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain? (塑料还减轻了世界对传统材料以及这些材料来源生物的依赖。世界上大约有1000万架钢琴。如果所有白键都用象牙制成，还会剩下多少头大象呢？)”可知，作者以钢琴键为例，对比“用象牙（伤害大象）” 与“用塑料（保护大象）”，旨在强调使用塑料的环境益处。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise. (在过去20年里，最终被回收的塑料比例翻了一番，但仍只有9%。这并非因为人们不关心地球，而是因为回收比大多数人意识到的更困难、成本更高)”可知，塑料回收率低的主要原因是回收的难度大且成本高。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. (因此应更多采用填埋法。若管理得当且监控到位，填埋法对环境的破坏远低于人们通常的认知，且更简单高效。它还能sidesteps全球运输回收塑料时可能被倾倒或焚烧的风险)” 可知，这里在讲填埋法的好处，因此猜测这方法可避免回收塑料在运输中被不当处理的风险，所以猜测sidesteps应意为“避免”，与Avoids含义一致。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer.(目前正在开发的更好的回收技术是答案的一部分)” 以及第四段中“Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs. (芬兰公司Fortnum已找到将烃转化为塑料材料的方法，此类创新应得到推广。谈及塑料，其益处远大于多数人认知，管控其成本的潜力亦是如此)”可知，作者提及技术研发、企业创新，认为塑料管理有潜力，整体态度乐观。故选A项。 D David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol. Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress. What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’” 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cure for the reduction of creativity. B. The harmful effects caused by multitasking. C. The common use of multitasking in the USA. D. The reason for the popularity of multitasking. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature? A. Faster reaction speeds. B. Better school performance. C. Improved mental function. D. Feelings of calm and relaxation. 14. How did the researchers get the result of their study? A. By doing surveys. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon. 15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”? A. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective. B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views. C. It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress. D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了多任务处理对生产力和思维能力的负面影响，以及接触自然对缓解压力和提高认知能力的好处。研究表明，开车时使用手机等多任务处理行为会降低生产力，减少清晰思考和创造性记忆信息的能力，而接触自然环境则有助于放松大脑，减轻压力，提高学习和认知能力。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress.(尽管有很多警告，但多任务处理越来越普遍。研究发现，美国人每天在电脑上切换任务多达 566 次。然而，当人们长时间使用数字设备，在不同活动之间频繁切换时，整体工作效率会下降。过多的多任务处理会降低清晰思考、创造性思考以及记忆信息的能力，这反过来又可能导致压力。)”可知，尽管有很多警告，但多任务处理越来越普遍，接着提到多任务处理会导致生产力下降、思维能力和记忆力减退，以及增加压力等负面影响。因此，本段主要讲述的是多任务处理造成的有害影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.( David Strayer 说道，答案很简单：花些时间在自然里。当人们身处自然环境时，前额皮质（大脑的控制中心）会放松下来。研究表明，当人们能够看到树木和草地时，他们会更加平静，并且在学校的表现也会更好。)”可知，接触自然的好处包括更好的学业表现、改善精神功能以及平静和放松的感觉。而文章中没有提到接触自然可以提高反应速度。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate.( 在日本千叶大学进行的一项研究中，84 名受试者在七处不同的森林中进行了 15 分钟的步行。同时，还有同样数量的人在不同的城市中心散步。随后，研究人员从每个人身上抽取了血液样本。结果显示，进行森林散步的受试者体内的应激激素皮质醇水平降低了 16%。此外，他们的血压降低了 2%，心率降低了 4%。)”可知，研究人员将受试者分为两组，一组在森林中散步，另一组在城市中心散步，然后通过比较两组受试者的生理指标（如应激激素皮质醇、血压和心率）来得出研究结果。因此，研究人员是通过对比两组受试者的结果来得出结论的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’(“想象一下一种唾手可得的疗法，而且能够零成本地改善认知功能，”Strayer 说道。“它就存在：它叫做‘与自然互动’。”)”可知，Strayer认为接触自然是一种无需花费即可改善认知功能的疗法，因此选项C“It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress.(它是一种免费且容易获得的减压疗法)”符合题意。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。 Homework has long been tied to school. ___16___ But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time? The idea of homework goes back a long way. Historians trace it to ancient Rome. Pliny the Younger, a teacher around AD 61—113, encouraged students to practice speaking at home. Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. ___17___ In the U. S. , it grew common in the early. 20th century. In 1957, American schools piled on homework to raise academic demands. By the1980s, it was seen as key to academic success. ___18___ For high schoolers homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap. Then everything changed. As educators recognized the limitations of passive one-size-fits-all tasks in encouraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditional worksheets and reading logs gave way to project-based assignments or online lessons, clouding the line between homework and classwork. However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. ___19___ So, what now? Keep, change, or get rid of it? ___20___ It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a world where information is instant, the purpose of homework needs a fresh look. A. The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad. B. It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution. C. Furthermore, access to reliable internet became a critical factor. D. The concept, however, faded significantly during the Middle Ages. E. The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky. F. Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness. G. Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了家庭作业的历史、现状及其对学生影响的变化，并提出了关于家庭作业未来走向的思考。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Homework has long been tied to school. (家庭作业长期以来都与学校密切相关。)”和下文“But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time? (但随着学习方式的转变，我们有理由问：家庭作业还有意义吗？还是说它只是不同时代的遗留物？)”可知，上文说家庭作业与学校紧密相关，下文提出随着学习方式的转变，家庭作业是否仍然重要的问题，G选项“Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework. (问问学生学校是什么样的，你会听到关于考试、老师和家庭作业的谈论)”承接上文，说明家庭作业是学校生活的一部分，同时引出下文关于家庭作业是否仍然重要的讨论。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Historians trace it to ancient Rome. (历史学家将其追溯到古罗马。)”和“Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. (几个世纪以来，家庭作业的发展十分缓慢。)”以及下文“In the U. S. , it grew common in the early 20th century. (在美国，它在20世纪初变得普遍。)”可知，上文说家庭作业的概念可追溯至古罗马，并在几个世纪中逐渐发展，下文说家庭作业在某一时期变得普遍，B选项“It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution. (在工业革命期间，它扮演了更正式的角色)”承上启下，补充了“古罗马之后、美国20世纪之前” 的关键发展节点，符合“centuries”所体现的时间线递进关系，使作业的发展历程更连贯。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap. (对于高中生来说，家庭作业与学业成绩有关。但年幼的孩子似乎从传统的家庭作业中获益甚少。此外，在家里有责任感和得到支持的学生最有可能完成作业并从中受益。对于可能无法上网的低收入家庭的学生来说，家庭作业实际上会扩大成绩差距。)”可知，下文围绕“家庭作业对学生的帮助程度因群体而异”展开，E选项“The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky. (家庭作业是否真的对学生有帮助，这个问题很难说。)”引出下文，说明家庭作业对学生是否有帮助是一个复杂的问题，概括了下文的核心议题，起到总领全段的作用。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. (然而，仅仅布置任务是不够的)”可知，上文说仅仅布置家庭作业是不够的，F选项“Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness. (没有参与、反馈和支持，家庭作业就失去了效果)”承接上文，进一步说明家庭作业需要学生的参与、老师的反馈和家长的支持才能有效。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“So, what now? Keep, change, or get rid of it? (那么，现在该怎么办？保留、改变还是取消它？)”和下文“It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place.(这完全取决于如何使用它。当它只是为了让孩子们忙碌时，它并没有多大作用。但是，当它经过深思熟虑、清晰明了，并且真正符合学生的需求时，它就有其存在的价值。)”可知，上文提出关于家庭作业未来走向的问题，下文则说明了家庭作业的价值取决于如何使用它，A选项“The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad. (问题是，家庭作业本身并没有好坏之分)”，承接上文的疑问，并引出下文，说明家庭作业的价值不是固定的，而是取决于如何使用，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2014, Xu Yitang, a student at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, saw corals at an aquarium for the first time.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. I took a deep breath and began. With my voice shaking, I spoke of my inconsiderate behaviour, deep regret and the upsetting result without exposing Judy’s name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flowing down my face, I didn’t dare to expect my classmates’ response. To my surprise, they applauded for my sincerity. Even Mr. Thomas praised my courage to admit my fault and apologize publicly. Back to my seat, I stole a look at Judy and amazingly found she was also looking at me with tears. That day marked a turning point. Although Judy and I never directly talked about that unpleasant events, our interactions slowly returned to normal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent forgiveness had been granted. I was never proud of my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew for sure it was an experience to be modestly thankful for. Here are the lessons I have carried close to my heart ever since: Speaking ill of others plant seeds of regret and true friendships deserve the respect of honest words and open hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和爱丽丝闲谈时谈起不热衷和朱迪做朋友，恰好被朱迪听到，作者为自己的口不择言感到尴尬和后悔，在接下来的日子里想要修复和朱迪的关系。在托马斯先生的课堂上，作者抽到了一张纸条“分享你最尴尬的时刻”，作者认为这是一次机会，于是讲出了自己的这段经历，在演讲中勇于承认错误，从那之后，作者和朱迪的关系逐渐修复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道自己该说些什么后，我让自己冷静下来，向讲台走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者讲出了这段经历，同学们的反应，托马斯先生的赞扬及朱迪的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那一天标志着一个转折点。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朱迪之间的关系逐渐恢复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 2.续写线索：走向讲台——演讲自己的经历——同学的反应，托马斯先生赞扬——朱迪的反应——重归于好——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②期待，预期：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激的：thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1].
