Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6 Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了在伦敦卡姆登区一条安静的小巷里，一位50多岁的中国移民Lena Wong经营着一个特别的果蔬摊。这个摊位采用诚信付款制，多数商品定价 1 英镑，而她这么做是为了帮助那些吃不饱的年轻人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. (但在卡姆登区的核心地带，这个摊位之所以更加引人注目，是因为它采用诚信付款制——顾客只需把硬币扔进一个旧邮箱即可，而且在这个新鲜食材通常售价高得多的街区，这里出售的大部分商品标价仅为1英镑。)”可知，这个摊位特别之处在于它采用诚信付款制度，顾客把钱扔进旧邮箱即可。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. (Lena Wong天不亮就起床，准备去她位于伦敦郊外恩菲尔德的小块菜园干活。根据季节不同，她会收获洋葱、茄子、青椒等蔬菜。此外，她每周还要在一家养老院上几个夜班，以补贴她和丈夫并不丰厚的薪水)”可知，Lena Wong黎明前就起床去菜园干活，每周还要在养老院上几个夜班，这说明她工作时间很长。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. (这一切始于某一天，当时她正在恩菲尔德卖农产品，一位年轻顾客说他挣的钱几乎不够买食物)”可知，是一个吃不饱饭的年轻人激励了Lena Wong去帮助别人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” (“我不忍心想到年轻人饿着肚子四处奔波，”Lena Wong说。于是，一个念头就此萌生。“我想让年轻人觉得他们没有被遗忘，他们是被珍惜的，”她说，“不是每个人都只为自己着想。我什么时候都能挣钱，现在，我想帮年轻人一把)”并结合全文内容可知，Lena Wong开设摊位，以低廉的价格向年轻人提供果蔬，还想用这种方式让年轻人感受到被关心，由此可判断她是心地善良的人。故选A项。 C Could birds hold the key to making airplanes safer and more efficient? At Princeton University, scientists believe the answer is yes. Inspired by birds, aerospace engineer Amy Wissa and her team developed special flaps (襟翼) that move freely along aircraft wings. Much like tiny feathers, these flaps help planes to reduce fuel consumption, and prevent dangerous stalls (失速). It was from watching gannets, a type of seabird, that this idea first emerged. When flying through strong winds, these birds’ small feathers pop up, adjusting airflow and maintaining stability. What if airplanes could do the same? Wissa and her team sought to answer this question by attaching flexible plastic flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft. The results? Remarkable. Not only did the flaps reduce drag by 31% and increase lift by 45%, but they also made stalls occur more gradually, improving flight safety. Unlike traditional wing flaps, which require mechanical systems to function, these new flaps respond naturally to air currents. As airflow changes, they adjust automatically — just like a bird’s feathers. With extreme weather becoming more frequent due to climate change, such a design could make airplanes more adaptable. Nature has long driven engineering innovation. From da Vinci’s bird-like flying machines to Lilienthal’s studies of bird flight, early pioneers in flight technology drew inspiration from nature. Yet, as technology advances, engineers are distancing themselves from nature-inspired designs, thinking they have moved beyond them. But have they? Wissa’s research proves nature still holds valuable lessons, with biological solutions reshaping modern air travel. Will these flaps appear on commercial airplanes soon? Some experts say it remains uncertain. Just as it took decades for shark-skin-inspired aircraft surfaces to reach the market, this innovation will also face challenges before large-scale adoption. However, smaller aircraft — such as urban air taxis and short-distance planes — may adopt this technology much sooner. For millions of years, birds have mastered the skies. If engineers continue to learn from nature, then the future of flight may be reshaped in ways once thought impossible. 8. What pushed Amy Wissa to carry out the research? A. Her interest in aircraft. B. Her observation of a bird. C. The frequency of dangerous stalls. D. The concern over fuel consumption. 9. What is the significance of Wissa’s research? A It has revealed da Vinci’s idea. B. It has innovated operating systems. C. It has proved the potential of nature. D. It has offered a solution to air currents. 10. What’s the author’s attitude to the prospect of the technology? A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic. 11. Which is the text mainly about? A. A New Era of Flight is Inspired by Lilienthal. B. Learning from birds brings about a flight revolution. C. Technology is advanced mainly by nature. D. Flaps enhance flight speed. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了普林斯顿大学团队受鸟类启发研发新型襟翼，及其提升飞机安全性与效率的潜力和应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It was from watching gannets, a type of seabird, that this idea first emerged.(正是通过观察塘鹅这种海鸟，这个想法才首次出现)”可知，艾米·维萨开展研究的动力是对一种鸟类的观察。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Wissa’s research proves nature still holds valuable lessons, with biological solutions reshaping modern air travel.(维萨的研究证明，大自然仍有宝贵的经验可供借鉴，生物解决方案正在重塑现代航空旅行)”可知，维萨研究的意义在于证明了大自然的潜力。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If engineers continue to learn from nature, then the future of flight may be reshaped in ways once thought impossible.(如果工程师们继续向大自然学习，那么飞行的未来可能会以曾经认为不可能的方式被重塑)”可知，作者对该技术的前景持乐观态度。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Inspired by birds, aerospace engineer Amy Wissa and her team developed special flaps that move freely along aircraft wings. (受鸟类启发，航空航天工程师艾米·维萨和她的团队开发了一种可以沿着机翼自由移动的特殊襟翼)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了向鸟类学习带来了飞行领域的创新变革。故选B项。 D Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. 12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material. C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags. 13. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development. C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees. 14. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers? A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult. C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况，塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋尽管容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.和第二段中plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.可知，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害，为使用塑料袋进行辩护。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bans on plastic bags，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.可知，生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，要看懂全文的主要内容，明白了主要内容就能准确概括文章标题)。小题4要求概括标题，本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。 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。 What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person?____16____That’s because every day we receive thousands of messages to the contrary: buy this, and you’ll be prettier; own this, and you’ll be more successful; acquire this, and your happiness will know no bounds. ____17____So we must be happy, right? For most of us, the answer is “no”. In fact, many of these items, and their empty promises, are slowly taking the money out of our pockets, the magic out of our relationships, and the joy out of our lives. Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed? Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments? Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home?____18____ Most people hear the word “minimalism” and think of “empty”. The word is usually associated with loss. But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families...____19____ We can’t enjoy fresh coffee when old grounds are in our cup; and we can’t showcase our garden’s blooms when wilted (枯萎的) flowers fill the vase. Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff.____20____Becoming minimalists, however, puts us in control of our stuff. It’s positively liberating! A. You may think I am crazy. B. Now that’s the beauty of minimalism. C. You have space for everything you bought. D. Of course, all these questions can be answered. E. Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing. F. If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice. G. We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了极简主义生活方式以及其对人们的影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前“What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person?(如果我告诉你拥有更少的东西可以让你成为一个更快乐的人呢？)”以及空后的“That’s because every day we receive thousands of messages to the contrary: buy this, and you’ll be prettier; own this, and you’ll be more successful; acquire this, and your happiness will know no bounds(这是因为我们每天都会收到成千上万条相反的信息:买这个，你会更漂亮；拥有这一点，你会更成功；掌握了这一点，你的幸福就会无限。)”可知，空前空后存在转折关系。选项A“You may think I am crazy.(你可能认为我疯了。)”承上启下，承接上文内容表明你可能不赞成这样的想法，同时引出下文内容，指出不赞同这一想法的原因。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文内容“So we must be happy, right? For most of us, the answer is “no”.(所以我们一定是快乐的，对吗？对我们大多数人来说，答案是否定的。)”可推断，空处应该指的是大众认为我们做了就会快乐的事情，也就是第一段最后的内容。选项E“Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing.(嗯，我们买了这个，那个，还有那个。)”延续第一段最后的内容，指的是我们听从各种信息，购买了很多东西，但是我们真的就会快乐吗？由此因此下文内容，指出买各种东西并不能让我们快乐。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文内容“Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed? Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments? Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home?(你是否曾经环顾你的房子，看到你拥有的所有东西，感到不知所措，而不是欣喜若狂？你是否在信用卡债务中挣扎，几乎不记得你支付过的购物？你是否暗自希望强风能把你家里乱七八糟的东西吹走？)”可知，上文描述了过度购买之后所陷入的困境。选项F“If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice.(如果是这样，那么极简主义的生活方式很可能是你的选择。)”延续上文内容，指的是如果已经意识到过度购买并不能让自己开心，那么可以选择极简主义的生活方式。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文内容“But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families...(但是从另一个角度来看“空”。现在你有了“空间”。我们家里的空间，我们日程表上的空间，思考、玩耍、创造和与家人玩乐的空间……)”可知，上文讲述的是极简主义带来的好处。选项B“Now that’s the beauty of minimalism.(这就是极简主义的美妙之处。)”是上文内容的总结，指出极简主义的美妙。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff.(同样，当我们的家——我们日常生活的容器——被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就会让位于我们的物质。)”可知，当我们的家被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就没有位置做其他事。选项G“We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences.(我们不再有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是当我们的灵魂让位于我们的物质时，我们就不会有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。故选G。 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。 As a traveler with a disability, I have always avoided cruises (乘船旅行). This expedition-style small-ship cruise changed my mind. When our expedition leader ____21____ we would make a Zodiac (卓迪船) ____22____ at Jan Mayen, a tiny island in the Arctic Ocean, I stepped out onto my balcony aboard our ship, ____23____ to find clear skies and calm seas. ____24____, I was met with a gust of wet wind and a view of mist-covered mountains in the distance. Jan Mayen wasn’t on our schedule, and due to its ____25____ location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever ____26____ the island. I knew the ____27____ weren’t ideal, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. In fact, the possibility of ____28____ adventures was one of the reasons I chose this small-ship cruise. So I ____29____ joined my shipmates in the waiting room, where we put on waterproof clothes and life jackets before hopping in the Zodiacs for a bumpy ____30____ to a black-sand beach. Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t ____31____ our excitement as we ____32____ our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers ____33____ the volcanic rocks. Our visit there wasn’t about what we could do or see. It was an opportunity to just be — to exist in a brief ____34____ on a tiny, often inaccessible, volcanic rock in the Arctic.

Cs are absolutely unacceptable for me, because I won’t be salutatorian (致辞学生) with a C. From first grade to high school I had never made a C. In fact, only a handful of Bs had ever got into the mix of As on my report card. But I had hit a trouble in high school — geometry (几何). I truly couldn’t “see” how those little triangles and squares fit together. Friends tried to help me and I spent hours every night, going over problems with other honor students. And then a mid-term came and I made another C. Until the year I took geometry, I was in the running to be salutatorian to represent all the students to deliver the graduation speech. According to my mother, she had been pre-elected as her class salutatorian. Then, because of pneumonia (肺炎) and several weeks of missed classes, her grades fell. Though she didn’t put much pressure on me, I was determined to realize that dream for her. After getting the C in geometry, I studied like I had never studied before. The last hope to raise my grade was the final exam. I would have to make an A in order to raise my overall average to a B. It was a long shot, but it was all I had left. I’ll never forget taking that final exam. My hands were sweaty. I worked and reworked every problem. When I finally finished my paper, I believed that it was the best I could do. After school, I rushed to my geometry teacher’s office. She had already graded the papers. I made a B — a strong, solid B. It was not enough to change my average. I would get a C in geometry on my report card and that was final. I was heartbroken because I knew not only would I lose salutatorian spot but also I had lost my last chance to realize my mother’s dream. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The geometry teacher sensed my depression and offered to let me stay. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a long silence, the teacher said firmly, “Then you should be proud.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The geometry teacher sensed my depression and offered to let me stay. She pulled out my final exam paper from the stack and pointed to the problems I had solved correctly. “Look at these,” she said gently, “You didn’t just guess. You showed clear thinking in every step. I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked — staying after class, asking thoughtful questions, practicing even when it was frustrating. That effort matters more than a single letter grade.” Her words made my eyes water. I had been so focused on the C that I forgot to see how far I’d come. After a long silence, the teacher said firmly, “Then you should be proud.” She leaned forward, her voice warm but serious. “Salutatorian is an honor, but it doesn’t define you. What defines you is that you didn’t give up when things got hard. You faced a subject that challenged you and fought for every point. That resilience will take you further in life than any title ever could.” As I left her office, the weight in my chest lifted. I still wished for a better grade, but for the first time, I didn’t feel like a failure. I felt like someone who had tried — and that was enough. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物情感变化为线索展开，讲述了作者一直成绩优异，却因几何学科遭遇困境，尽管几经努力，但最终成绩仍为C，失去成为致辞学生的机会和实现母亲梦想的可能，心情低落，在几何老师办公室得到老师安慰与鼓励的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“几何老师察觉到我的沮丧，主动让我留下。”可知，第一段可描写老师通过指出我试卷上正确解答的题目，肯定我的努力和思考过程，让我意识到努力本身的价值，而不仅仅关注成绩。 ②由第二段首句“沉默良久后，老师坚定地说：‘那么你应该感到骄傲。’”可知，第二段可描写老师进一步开导我，说明致辞学生的荣誉不能定义一个人，而我在面对困难时展现出的坚韧品质才是更重要的，这让我释怀，不再觉得自己是失败者。 2.续写线索： 老师让我留下——老师指出我试卷上的优点——肯定我的努力——老师鼓励我——我释怀 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指出：point to/indicate ②肯定：show/demonstrate ③鼓励：encourage/inspire ④定义：define/characterize 情感类 ①温柔：gently/mildly ②真挚：serious/earnest 【点睛】[高分句型1] She pulled out my final exam paper from the stack and pointed to the problems I had solved correctly.（运用了省略关系代词that/which的定语从句I had solved correctly修饰the problems） [高分句型2] What defines you is that you didn’t give up when things got hard.（运用了what引导的主语从句和that引导的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度 (上) 沈阳市第一中学第一次阶段反馈 高二年级英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 考试分数：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。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?

Contacting the local sales team B In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. C Could birds hold the key to making airplanes safer and more efficient? At Princeton University, scientists believe the answer is yes. Inspired by birds, aerospace engineer Amy Wissa and her team developed special flaps (襟翼) that move freely along aircraft wings. Much like tiny feathers, these flaps help planes to reduce fuel consumption, and prevent dangerous stalls (失速). It was from watching gannets, a type of seabird, that this idea first emerged. When flying through strong winds, these birds’ small feathers pop up, adjusting airflow and maintaining stability. What if airplanes could do the same? Wissa and her team sought to answer this question by attaching flexible plastic flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft. The results? Remarkable. Not only did the flaps reduce drag by 31% and increase lift by 45%, but they also made stalls occur more gradually, improving flight safety. Unlike traditional wing flaps, which require mechanical systems to function, these new flaps respond naturally to air currents. As airflow changes, they adjust automatically — just like a bird’s feathers. With extreme weather becoming more frequent due to climate change, such a design could make airplanes more adaptable. Nature has long driven engineering innovation. From da Vinci’s bird-like flying machines to Lilienthal’s studies of bird flight, early pioneers in flight technology drew inspiration from nature. Yet, as technology advances, engineers are distancing themselves from nature-inspired designs, thinking they have moved beyond them. But have they? Wissa’s research proves nature still holds valuable lessons, with biological solutions reshaping modern air travel. Will these flaps appear on commercial airplanes soon? Some experts say it remains uncertain. Just as it took decades for shark-skin-inspired aircraft surfaces to reach the market, this innovation will also face challenges before large-scale adoption. However, smaller aircraft — such as urban air taxis and short-distance planes — may adopt this technology much sooner. For millions of years, birds have mastered the skies. If engineers continue to learn from nature, then the future of flight may be reshaped in ways once thought impossible. 8. What pushed Amy Wissa to carry out the research? A. Her interest in aircraft. B. Her observation of a bird. C. The frequency of dangerous stalls. D. The concern over fuel consumption. 9. What is the significance of Wissa’s research? A. It has revealed da Vinci’s idea. B.

His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. 12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material. C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags. 13. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development. C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees. 14. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers? A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult. C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D.

For most of us, the answer is “no”. In fact, many of these items, and their empty promises, are slowly taking the money out of our pockets, the magic out of our relationships, and the joy out of our lives. Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed? Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments? Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home?____18____ Most people hear the word “minimalism” and think of “empty”. The word is usually associated with loss. But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families...____19____ We can’t enjoy fresh coffee when old grounds are in our cup; and we can’t showcase our garden’s blooms when wilted (枯萎的) flowers fill the vase. Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff.____20____Becoming minimalists, however, puts us in control of our stuff. It’s positively liberating! A. You may think I am crazy. B. Now that’s the beauty of minimalism. C. You have space for everything you bought. D. Of course, all these questions can be answered. E. Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing. F. If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice. G. We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences. 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。 As a traveler with a disability, I have always avoided cruises (乘船旅行).

Jan Mayen wasn’t on our schedule, and due to its ____25____ location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever ____26____ the island.

Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t ____31____ our excitement as we ____32____ our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers ____33____ the volcanic rocks.

Cs are absolutely unacceptable for me, because I won’t be salutatorian (致辞学生) with a C. From first grade to high school I had never made a C. In fact, only a handful of Bs had ever got into the mix of As on my report card. But I had hit a trouble in high school — geometry (几何). I truly couldn’t “see” how those little triangles and squares fit together. Friends tried to help me and I spent hours every night, going over problems with other honor students. And then a mid-term came and I made another C. Until the year I took geometry, I was in the running to be salutatorian to represent all the students to deliver the graduation speech. According to my mother, she had been pre-elected as her class salutatorian. Then, because of pneumonia (肺炎) and several weeks of missed classes, her grades fell. Though she didn’t put much pressure on me, I was determined to realize that dream for her. After getting the C in geometry, I studied like I had never studied before. The last hope to raise my grade was the final exam. I would have to make an A in order to raise my overall average to a B. It was a long shot, but it was all I had left. I’ll never forget taking that final exam. My hands were sweaty. I worked and reworked every problem. When I finally finished my paper, I believed that it was the best I could do. After school, I rushed to my geometry teacher’s office. She had already graded the papers. I made a B — a strong, solid B. It was not enough to change my average. I would get a C in geometry on my report card and that was final. I was heartbroken because I knew not only would I lose salutatorian spot but also I had lost my last chance to realize my mother’s dream. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The geometry teacher sensed my depression and offered to let me stay. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a long silence, the teacher said firmly, “Then you should be proud.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
