The estimated expense is around $5,000.(额外费用：建议你确保你有必要的资金来支付你在澳大利亚的生活费用。估计费用在5000美元左右。)”可知，一个本科生在这次旅行中至少要花的钱是23000减10000再加5000，即$18,000。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据APPLICATION部分中的“Seats are limited for this program, so please note that students in need of academic credits to complete their courses ahead of time may be given priority.(这个项目的席位有限，所以请注意，需要学分提前完成课程的学生可能会优先考虑。)”可知，想要提前拿到学分毕业的学生能优先拿到资格。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据THROUGH THIS STUDY TOUR, STUDENTS CAN:部分的“Enhance their global perspectives through the experience in an Australian education setting(通过在澳大利亚教育环境中的经历，增强他们的全球视野)”，“Develop cultural responsiveness in teaching through engagement with a variety of student populations in overseas primary and secondary schools and universities(通过与海外中小学和大学的各种学生群体接触，培养教学中的文化响应能力)”和“Cultivate professional development by learning and sharing strategies with Australian peers(通过与澳大利亚同行学习和分享策略，培养专业发展)”可知，这次游学的主要目的是提高学生的各项能力。故选B。 B My daughter is a smart kid. But she never read books for pleasure. When I faced this truth a few months ago, it felt like a parenting failure. Certainly, my daughter’s having landed a smartphone last year is part of the problem. I could see that what my daughter was looking for, like so many her age, was escape. To me, that felt developmentally appropriate. The problem was that the easiest way for her to find escape was to dive into the addictive chaos of her smartphone. So I campaigned. I told her she needed to read because novels are the best way to learn about how people’s insides work. She said she could learn more from watching the people she followed on social media, who were all about spilling their insides. I could not win our debates, I realized, because few of my daughters’ arguments against reading seemed wrong to me. Yes, reading is a way to broaden your universe and discover new worlds—but so is the entire internet. So I decided to cut through all the reasoning with a cold, hard practicality: cash. I told my 12-year-old I would pay her $100 if she finished the book I picked for her within a month. We then embarked on a beach holiday. And before the seventh day was done, my daughter had finished the book. When we got back home, she asked for the sequel, and then finished it in about two weeks—at no extra charge. It actually worked! But will this lead to her reading “Little Women”? To tearing through “Catcher in the Rye” and “White Teeth”? Will it result in a long reading life full of night-stand piles of books? I don’t know. What I do know is that together, we finally opened a new door for her to the printed page: a quiet personal place that I imagine—I hope—will serve her for a lifetime. That feels like the best money I ever spent. 4. How did the author feel about her daughter’s attachment to smartphones? A. She found it an ideal escape. B. She considered it to be her fault. C. She regarded it as understandable. D. She blamed it on her daughter’s peers. 5. Why did the author give up trying to persuade her daughter? A. Novels failed to reflect real life. B. Her daughter dismissed people’s insides. C. The internet offered broader experiences. D. Her daughter’s arguments made some sense. 6. What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Plan. B. Reward. C. Warm-up. D. Follow-up. 7. Why does the author mention “Little Women” and other books in paragraph 7? A. To present her plan. B. To voice her concern. C. To show her delight. D. To justify her strategy. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述作者为让女儿摆脱智能手机、培养阅读习惯而采取的尝试及内心感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I could see that what my daughter was looking for, like so many her age, was escape. To me, that felt developmentally appropriate. The problem was that the easiest way for her to find escape was to dive into the addictive chaos of her smartphone.(我看得出，和许多同龄孩子一样，女儿在寻找一种逃避方式。在我看来，这在成长过程中是合理的。问题在于，她找到逃避的最便捷方式是沉浸在智能手机令人上瘾的繁杂内容中)”可知，作者认为女儿对智能手机的依赖是同龄人寻求逃避的常见表现，具有成长阶段的合理性，虽存在问题但可以理解。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I could not win our debates, I realized, because few of my daughters’ arguments against reading seemed wrong to me. Yes, reading is a way to broaden your universe and discover new worlds—but so is the entire internet.(我意识到，我无法在辩论中胜出，因为女儿反对阅读的论点在我看来几乎没有错误。没错，阅读是拓宽视野、发现新世界的方式——但整个互联网也是如此)”可知，作者放弃说服女儿是因为女儿的论点有理有据，她无法反驳，认为女儿的观点有道理。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“And before the seventh day was done, my daughter had finished the book. When we got back home, she asked for the sequel, and then finished it in about two weeks—at no extra charge.(第七天结束前，女儿读完了这本书。回到家后，她要了sequel，然后在大约两周内读完——没有额外收费)”结合语境，女儿读完第一本书后主动索要后续内容并继续阅读，可推断“sequel”意为“续集，续篇”，与“Follow-up（后续作品）”含义相近。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段“It actually worked! But will this lead to her reading “Little Women”? To tearing through “Catcher in the Rye” and “White Teeth”? Will it result in a long reading life full of night-stand piles of books?(这确实奏效了！但这会让她去读《小妇人》吗？去通读《麦田里守望者》和《白牙》吗？这会让她拥有一个床头堆满书籍的长期阅读生活吗？)”可知，作者用三个疑问句表达了对女儿能否通过短期奖励机制养成持续阅读习惯的担忧，不确定当前的方法能否让女儿真正爱上经典书籍并保持阅读热情。因此，提及这些书籍是为了表达她的担忧。故选B项。 C Have you ever noticed how some people seem to handle difficulties calmly while others let small problems ruin their entire day? This difference often comes down to how we respond to challenges. American social psychologist Leon Festinger proposed a famous theory later known as “Festinger’s Law”, which states that10 percent of life’s events are beyond your control, but 90 percent is within your control. To explain this, let’s examine two events. First, imagine a business professional who has an important presentation. On the way to work, they spill coffee on his shirt. If he reacts with frustration, rushes angrily, and arrives hurriedly, his presentation may suffer due to his distracted state. Now, consider an alternative response: he calmly cleans up, changes clothes, and uses the extra time in transit to review his notes. The initial problem is the same, but the outcomes differ dramatically because of his reactions. The influences of Festinger’s Law extend beyond individual situations to interpersonal relationships as well. In family conflicts, for instance, an unpleasant response to a minor disagreement can increase tensions, while a patient, understanding approach often leads to resolution. Similarly, in team projects, how members respond to setbacks — whether with blame or constructive problem-solving — can determine the group’s ultimate success. What makes this principle particularly valuable is its universal applicability. Whether dealing with academic pressures, workplace (challenges, or personal relationships, the common thread is that our reactions often matter more than the problems themselves. By cultivating self-awareness and emotional 1regulation, we can significantly improve our ability to navigate life’s unavoidable difficulties. Developing this skill requires practice. It involves pausing before reacting, assessing situations objectively, and consciously choosing productive responses. Over time, this approach becomes habitual, leading to better outcomes and reduced stress. Festinger’s Law ultimately teaches us while we can’t control everything that happens to us, we can always control how we respond — and that makes all the difference. 8. Why does the author pose a question at the beginning? A. To emphasize the Law’s difficulties. B. To rate readers’ psychology knowledge. C. To create a personal connection to the topic. D. To introduce Dr. Festinger’s life experiences. 9. What is the main lesson from the coffee spill example? A. Spare clothes should always be ready. B. Your reaction matters more than the problem. C. Business people face many challenges. D. Small problems can ruin your whole day. 10. What is the significant value of Festinger’s Law? A. It helps people better address life’s challenges. B. It provides useful guidance for different life situations. C. It encourages us to focus on the things we can’t control. D. It suggests most problems are less serious than they seem. 11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The methods to practice Festinger’s Law. B. The occasions to control personal feelings. C. The benefits of reducing stress. D. The impact of immediate reactions. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了费斯汀格法则(Festinger’s Law)的核心观点：生活中10%的事件不可控，但90%取决于我们的反应方式。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever noticed how some people seem to handle difficulties calmly while others let small problems ruin their entire day?(你有没有注意到，为什么有些人似乎能冷静地处理困难，而另一些人却会让小问题毁掉他们一整天？)”，这样的问题直接与读者相关，能够引起读者的兴趣，让读者与文章讨论的关于如何应对挑战的话题产生个人联系。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。在第二段提到的咖啡洒在衬衫的例子中，同样是咖啡洒在衬衫这一问题，不同的反应（愤怒和冷静）导致了不同的结果（演讲受影响和可以利用时间复习笔记）。根据第四段 “Whether dealing with academic pressures, workplace (challenges, or personal relationships, the common thread is that our reactions often matter more than the problems themselves.(无论是处理学业压力、工作挑战还是人际关系，我们的反应往往比问题本身更重要)” 可知，这个例子主要教训是你的反应比问题本身更重要。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What makes this principle particularly valuable is its universal applicability. Whether dealing with academic pressures, workplace challenges, or personal relationships, the common thread is that our reactions often matter more than the problems themselves.(个原则特别有价值的地方在于它的普遍适用性。无论是应对学业压力、工作挑战还是人际关系,我们的反应往往比问题本身更重要)” 可知，费斯廷格法则的重要价值在于它能为不同的生活情境提供有用的指导。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Developing this skill requires practice. It involves pausing before reacting, assessing situations objectively, and consciously choosing productive responses.Over time, this approach becomes habitual, leading to better outcomes and reduced stress.(培养这种技能需要练习。它包括在做出反应之前停顿一下，客观评估情况，并有意识地选择有效的回应。随着时间的推移，这种方法会成为习惯，从而产生更好的结果并减少压力。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了练习应用费斯廷格法则的方法。故选A。 D Scientists have reported that Antarctica’s sea ice is at a record low level. That’s worrying because the sea ice is an important part of the Earth’s cooling system. It’s not yet clear if the low sea ice level is temporary, or part of a changing climate pattern. Every year, the sea ice at the South Pole goes through a cycle of melting and freezing. In the summer, the huge masses of sea ice melt to their smallest point. Over the colder winter months, the sea ice grows and grows until it covers an incredibly wide area. Usually, the sea ice covers the greatest area (its “maximum extent”) around September 23, as winter ends at the South Pole. Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost unaffected by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the globe. In fact, until recent years, Antarctica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing. That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antarctica’s sea ice has been shrinking (缩小). This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reports that Antarctica’s sea ice reached its maximum extent on September 10 — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot. The new low record has scientists worried. The sea ice is important, because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts, the water left behind is darker, and absorbs more heat. The concern is that the melting sea ice could start a cycle that might cause even more ice to melt. Scientists are working hard to better understand Antarctica. They don’t know yet if this is just a short-term problem, or if it’s part of a long-term shift toward less sea ice in Antarctica. 12. Which aspect of the low sea ice level makes scientists confused? A. Its causes. B. Its effects. C. Its smallest point. D. Its changing trend. 13. What do scientists find about the sea ice in Antarctica? A. The covering area remains stable. B. The covering area once expanded. C. It’s been consistently shrinking since 1979. D. It’s been unaffected by changeable weather. 14. Why are scientists worried about the new low record of the sea ice? A. It may result in more ice melting. B. It could change the color of the sea water. C. It may get more sunlight reflected into space. D. It could cause cooler temperatures in Antarctica. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Changing Climate Patterns in Antarctica B. The Threats to Earth’s Cooling System C. Antarctica’s Sea Ice at a Record Winter Low D. The Mystery of Antarctica’s Melting Sea Ice 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家报告说，南极洲的海冰处于历史最低水平。这非常令人担忧，因为海冰是地球冷却系统的重要组成部分。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s not yet clear if the low sea ice level is temporary, or part of a changing climate pattern.(目前尚不清楚低海冰水平是暂时的，还是气候模式变化的一部分)”可知，低海冰水平的变化趋势让科学家感到困惑。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, until recent years, Antarctica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing.(事实上，直到最近几年，南极洲的海冰面积一直在不断增长)”可知，科学家们发现南极洲的海冰覆盖面积一度扩大。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The concern is that the melting sea ice could start a cycle that might cause even more ice to melt.(令人担忧的是，海冰融化可能会引发一个循环，导致更多的冰融化)”可知，科学家们担心海冰的新低点是因为它可能导致更多的冰融化。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have reported that Antarctica’s sea ice is at a record low level.(科学家报告说，南极洲的海冰处于历史最低水平)”，结合主要介绍了科学家报告说，南极洲的海冰处于历史最低水平。这非常令人担忧，因为海冰是地球冷却系统的重要组成部分。可知，C选项“南极海冰处于创纪录的冬季低点”最符合文章标题。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。 Have you ever started your day feeling unbeatable, only to feel worn down by the time you get into bed? ____16____ Try the following routines to help you sail through your day.

Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays. Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary. They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script. Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed. For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. The play started. Clara, the main character, faced many problems, but she didn’t give up. The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage. When Clara stood under the oak tree in the end, saying “I’ll keep going, no matter how hard it gets,” everyone clapped hard. Suddenly, a voice shouted, “Good job!” It was Elena, sitting in the back row. Her eyes were shining with tears, and her hands were shaking. The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her. Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. “Thank you,” she said, voice shaking. “Those lines — ‘determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see’ — are mine. I dreamed of acting in my own play, but the illness made me stop. I thought my story with Clara ended. However, you brought us both back.” She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived. The students felt warm — they gave a forgotten dream a second chance, realizing small kindnesses bridge years, and that dreams, however long delayed, are always worth remembering. 【解析】 【导语】本文以阳光谷高中戏剧社成员的经历为线索，讲述了他们在为学校百年校庆准备戏剧时，发现了1972年学生埃琳娜因生病未完成的剧本《星光梦想》及日记，决定完成该剧本并邀请埃琳娜观看的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“校庆当天，学校礼堂座无虚席。”可知，第一段可描写庆典当天，戏剧《星光梦想》上演，主角克拉拉台词打动观众，埃琳娜在后排激动喝彩，众人纷纷看向她的情景。 ② 由第二段首句内容“埃琳娜激动地站起来，跑向舞台。”可知，第二段可描写埃琳娜上台感谢大家，讲述自己的梦想因疾病中断，如今被延续的感动，与学生们拥抱，众人感受到善意与梦想的力量。 2. 续写线索：庆典上演——观众被打动——埃琳娜喝彩——埃琳娜上台——讲述经历——拥抱学生——感悟意义 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap/applaud ②颤抖：shake/tremble ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①激动：excited/thrilled ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河北衡水中学2025-26届高三年级上学期检测二 英 语 本试卷8页，总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

But she never read books for pleasure. When I faced this truth a few months ago, it felt like a parenting failure. Certainly, my daughter’s having landed a smartphone last year is part of the problem. I could see that what my daughter was looking for, like so many her age, was escape. To me, that felt developmentally appropriate. The problem was that the easiest way for her to find escape was to dive into the addictive chaos of her smartphone. So I campaigned. I told her she needed to read because novels are the best way to learn about how people’s insides work. She said she could learn more from watching the people she followed on social media, who were all about spilling their insides. I could not win our debates, I realized, because few of my daughters’ arguments against reading seemed wrong to me. Yes, reading is a way to broaden your universe and discover new worlds—but so is the entire internet. So I decided to cut through all the reasoning with a cold, hard practicality: cash. I told my 12-year-old I would pay her $100 if she finished the book I picked for her within a month. We then embarked on a beach holiday. And before the seventh day was done, my daughter had finished the book. When we got back home, she asked for the sequel, and then finished it in about two weeks—at no extra charge. It actually worked! But will this lead to her reading “Little Women”? To tearing through “Catcher in the Rye” and “White Teeth”? Will it result in a long reading life full of night-stand piles of books? I don’t know. What I do know is that together, we finally opened a new door for her to the printed page: a quiet personal place that I imagine—I hope—will serve her for a lifetime. That feels like the best money I ever spent. 4. How did the author feel about her daughter’s attachment to smartphones? A. She found it an ideal escape. B. She considered it to be her fault. C She regarded it as understandable. D. She blamed it on her daughter’s peers. 5. Why did the author give up trying to persuade her daughter? A. Novels failed to reflect real life. B. Her daughter dismissed people’s insides. C. The internet offered broader experiences. D. Her daughter’s arguments made some sense. 6. What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Plan. B. Reward. C. Warm-up. D. Follow-up. 7. Why does the author mention “Little Women” and other books in paragraph 7? A. To present her plan. B. To voice her concern. C. To show her delight. D. To justify her strategy. C Have you ever noticed how some people seem to handle difficulties calmly while others let small problems ruin their entire day? This difference often comes down to how we respond to challenges. American social psychologist Leon Festinger proposed a famous theory later known as “Festinger’s Law”, which states that10 percent of life’s events are beyond your control, but 90 percent is within your control. To explain this, let’s examine two events. First, imagine a business professional who has an important presentation. On the way to work, they spill coffee on his shirt. If he reacts with frustration, rushes angrily, and arrives hurriedly, his presentation may suffer due to his distracted state. Now, consider an alternative response: he calmly cleans up, changes clothes, and uses the extra time in transit to review his notes. The initial problem is the same, but the outcomes differ dramatically because of his reactions. The influences of Festinger’s Law extend beyond individual situations to interpersonal relationships as well. In family conflicts, for instance, an unpleasant response to a minor disagreement can increase tensions, while a patient, understanding approach often leads to resolution. Similarly, in team projects, how members respond to setbacks — whether with blame or constructive problem-solving — can determine the group’s ultimate success. What makes this principle particularly valuable is its universal applicability. Whether dealing with academic pressures workplace (challenges, or personal relationships, the common thread is that our reactions often matter more than the problems themselves. By cultivating self-awareness and emotional 1regulation, we can significantly improve our ability to navigate life’s unavoidable difficulties. Developing this skill requires practice. It involves pausing before reacting, assessing situations objectively, and consciously choosing productive responses. Over time, this approach becomes habitual, leading to better outcomes and reduced stress. Festinger’s Law ultimately teaches us while we can’t control everything that happens to us, we can always control how we respond — and that makes all the difference. 8. Why does the author pose a question at the beginning? A. To emphasize the Law’s difficulties. B. To rate readers’ psychology knowledge. C. To create a personal connection to the topic. D. To introduce Dr. Festinger’s life experiences. 9. What is the main lesson from the coffee spill example? A. Spare clothes should always be ready. B. Your reaction matters more than the problem. C. Business people face many challenges. D. Small problems can ruin your whole day. 10. What is the significant value of Festinger’s Law? A. It helps people better address life’s challenges. B. It provides useful guidance for different life situations. C. It encourages us to focus on the things we can’t control. D. It suggests most problems are less serious than they seem. 11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The methods to practice Festinger’s Law. B. The occasions to control personal feelings. C. The benefits of reducing stress. D. The impact of immediate reactions. D Scientists have reported that Antarctica’s sea ice is at a record low level. That’s worrying because the sea ice is an important part of the Earth’s cooling system. It’s not yet clear if the low sea ice level is temporary, or part of a changing climate pattern. Every year, the sea ice at the South Pole goes through a cycle of melting and freezing. In the summer, the huge masses of sea ice melt to their smallest point. Over the colder winter months, the sea ice grows and grows until it covers an incredibly wide area. Usually, the sea ice covers the greatest area (its “maximum extent”) around September 23, as winter ends at the South Pole. Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost unaffected by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the globe. In fact, until recent years, Antarctica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing. That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antarctica’s sea ice has been shrinking (缩小). This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reports that Antarctica’s sea ice reached its maximum extent on September 10 — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot. The new low record has scientists worried. The sea ice is important, because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts, the water left behind is darker, and absorbs more heat. The concern is that the melting sea ice could start a cycle that might cause even more ice to melt. Scientists are working hard to better understand Antarctica. They don’t know yet if this is just a short-term problem, or if it’s part of a long-term shift toward less sea ice in Antarctica. 12. Which aspect of the low sea ice level makes scientists confused? A. Its causes. B. Its effects. C. Its smallest point. D. Its changing trend. 13. What do scientists find about the sea ice in Antarctica? A. The covering area remains stable. B. The covering area once expanded. C. It’s been consistently shrinking since 1979. D. It’s been unaffected by changeable weather. 14. Why are scientists worried about the new low record of the sea ice? A. It may result in more ice melting. B. It could change the color of the sea water. C. It may get more sunlight reflected into space. D. It could cause cooler temperatures in Antarctica. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Changing Climate Patterns in Antarctica B. The Threats to Earth’s Cooling System C. Antarctica’s Sea Ice at a Record Winter Low D. The Mystery of Antarctica’s Melting Sea Ice 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。 Have you ever started your day feeling unbeatable, only to feel worn down by the time you get into bed? ____16____ Try the following routines to help you sail through your day.

Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays. Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary. They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script. Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed. For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play. 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。 On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
