My name is Joe Mari, I am a male nurse from the Philippines who is working overseas, and sometimes, being away from your family and friends, you’ll mostly feel lonely, bored, and homesick. So in my spare time I draw portraits of people using Faber Castell classic coloured pencils, ballpoint pen, and pencil for black and white ones. I started drawing and won my first inter-school competition when I was 5. By that time I had no dreams of being an artist, as I thought it was all a ‘game’ and I was never serious about art. I became a part of my school paper as a cartoonist until high school and then time passed and I have forgotten about drawing. It went on to being just a hobby until I tried to get back at it again two years ago. I watched YouTube videos every night, trying to figure out how to improve my skills. Drawing people’s faces is a fascination for me, which is obviously displayed in my works. You’re probably wondering why I never took any courses related to art, and why I am a nurse. You see, there is a fine line between your dreams and your passion. I took the medical field in hopes of giving service to as many people as I can. I have always been fascinated by the world of Science and by the world of Art at the same time. My intention in sharing this story is not to compare, but rather to bring out whatever other interests you may have inside you. Sure you may be working in front of a desk at day, but who knows, maybe you also rock out with your band at night. With enough patience and perseverance, nothing can prevent passion. I hope I inspired you all with my story, so go on, get that paper and whatever tool you can use to create art! 4. What’s the author’s way to get rid of negative feeling? A. Picking up his fancy B. Playing games C. Achieving his dreams D. Sharing his stories 5. What did he do to have his painting skills improved? A. He took some courses B. He watched online video C. He worked every day D. He attended competitions 6. Why did the author choose to be a male nurse? A. He wanted to contribute to medicine. B. He wanted to help more people. C. He wanted to develop his interest in art. D. He wanted to encourage others. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Ordinary and warm-hearted. B. Appealing and open-minded. C. Humorous and well-educated D. Hard-working and strong-willed. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者名叫Joe Mari，是一名来自菲律宾的男护士，在海外工作，作者通过绘画来摆脱消极情绪。讲述了从事这项爱好的经过以及为什么会成为一名男护士。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My name is Joe Mari, I am a male nurse from the Philippines who is working overseas, and sometimes, being away from your family and friends, you’ll mostly feel lonely, bored, and homesick. So in my spare time I draw portraits of people using Faber Castell classic coloured pencils, ballpoint pen, and pencil for black and white ones.(我的名字是Joe Mari，我是一名来自菲律宾的男护士，在海外工作，有时，远离你的家人和朋友，你会感到孤独、无聊和想家。因此，在我的业余时间，我用辉柏嘉经典的彩色铅笔、圆珠笔和黑白铅笔为人们画肖像)”可知，作者摆脱消极情绪的方法是从事他的爱好。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I watched YouTube videos every night, trying to figure out how to improve my skills. (我每天晚上都看YouTube视频，试图弄清楚如何提高我的技能)”可知，他在网上看视频来提高自己的绘画技巧。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“I took the medical field in hopes of giving service to as many people as I can.(我从事医学领域的工作，是希望能为尽可能多的人提供服务)”可知，作者选择成为一名男护士是因为他想帮助更多的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It went on to being just a hobby until I tried to get back at it again two years ago. I watched YouTube videos every night, trying to figure out how to improve my skills. Drawing people’s faces is a fascination for me, which is obviously displayed in my works.(直到两年前我试图重新找回它之前，它一直只是我的一个爱好。我每天晚上都看YouTube视频，试图弄清楚如何提高我的技能。画人的脸对我来说是一种魅力，这在我的作品中表现得很明显)”以及倒数第二段中“With enough patience and perseverance, nothing can prevent passion. (有了足够的耐心和毅力，什么也阻挡不了激情)”可推知，作者勤奋和意志坚强。故选D。 C If Confucius (孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.  These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he won’t soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly intended to do? A. To provide some key facts about Confucius. B. To attract the readers’ interest in the subject. C. To show great respect for the ancient thinker. D. To prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations. 9. What can we learn about the American students in Paragraph 4? A. They have a great interest in studying Chinese. B. They try to get high scores in their Chinese exams. C. They take an active part in fierce Chinese competitions. D. They fight for a chance to understand Chinese customers. 10. What is the best title for the passage? A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future 11. Where is the passage most likely to appear? A. In a biography. B. In a history paper. C. In a newspaper. D. In a philosophy textbook. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了西方学生学习中国的文化的现象，并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家----孔子的思想仍然受到人们的追捧。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“If Confucius (孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.（如果孔子今天还活着，可以用一个大蛋糕来庆祝他在9月28日的生日，会有很多蜡烛。他需要一把扇子或一阵大风来帮他扑灭它们。）”可知，第一段说明孔子如果还活着的话那么岁数就很大，是为了吸引读者的注意力，让读者继续读下去，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.（在过去的20年里，中国研究项目在西方大学里非常受欢迎。）”和“Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.（与此同时，美国的学生也在竞相学习汉语。）”可知，美国学生对中国文化很感兴趣。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段的“In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.（在很多方面，他已经成为了一座桥梁，如果外国人想要更深入地了解中国，他们必须通过这座桥梁。）”及倒数第二段的“Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.（今天，中国比以往任何时候都更吸引西方，它将需要更多的教师向西方介绍孔子和中国文化。）”可知，本文主要向我们介绍了孔子思想对西方的影响，以及将来可能产生的影响，因此最好的题目是D选项“Old Thinker with a Big Future（有远大未来的老思想家）”，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.（最近，中国政府在80多个国家建立了孔子学院。）”及“Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.（与此同时，美国的学生也在竞相学习汉语。）”可知，本文是在讲现在孔子思想对西方的影响，因此本文很可能出现在报纸上，故选C。 D When thinking about intelligence we often place humans at the top of the ranks. However, there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought — crows (乌鸦). In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end to make a hooked (钩状的) tool. Then the crow used the hooked tool to lift a pig’s heart from a small container to eat. Many years later, researchers found that bending tools was in fact not that unusual for New Caledonian crows. As part of the Corvid family of birds, the brains of New Caledonian crows and others within the family have been studied more closely. Corvids have shown amazing cognitive (认知的) abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex — a brain structure that allows for advanced cognitive development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons (神经元) which have enabled the bird to have similar mental capacities like humans. According to a paper published earlier this year, New Caledonians are particular about the plant stem (茎) which they use to make their hooked tools and are able find out the best plant stem. They are also capable of looking for that plant stem even when it is disguised (伪装) with leaves from a different plant species. Crows are also able to use their abilities to solve advanced problems. Crows also seem to use their cleverness for fun, much like humans do, as young birds love to play. New Caledonian crows have emotions and memories and are cognitively skilled animals. They just might not be so different from us humans after all! 12. How did Betty surprise the scientists? A. She made a hooked tool. B. She escaped from her cage. C. She managed to lift a heavy container. D. She showed great interest in pig’s heart. 13. What do we know about New Caledonian crows? A. They remain unknown to humans. B. They are quite different from other corvids. C. Their brain structure is similar to that of humans. D. Their cognitive abilities are decided by neurons. 14. What does the underlined word “particular ” in paragraph 4 mean ? A. Anxious. B. Happy. C. Picky. D. Curious. 15. What is the text mainly about ? A. The intelligence of crows. B. The survival skills of crows. C. The development of the crow family. D. The memories of crows. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究人员发现乌鸦智力比我们想象的要先进得多，可能也更接近于人类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end to make a hooked tool.”（2002年，一只名叫贝蒂的乌鸦在她的笼子里捡起一根铁丝，把它的一端弯曲成一个钩状工具，这让牛津大学的科学家们大为惊叹。）可知，乌鸦贝蒂做了一个钩形工具，这让科学家们吃惊。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Corvids have shown amazing cognitive (认知的) abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex — a brain structure that allows for advanced cognitive development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons which have enabled the bird to have similar mental capacities like humans.”（新喀里多尼亚乌鸦表现出惊人的认知能力。与人类不同的是，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦没有新皮质——一种允许高级认知发展的大脑结构。相反，它们的大脑充满了神经元，这些神经元使它们拥有与人类相似的心智能力。）可知，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦的认知能力是由神经元决定的。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“According to a paper published earlier this year, New Caledonians are particular about the plant stem which they use to make their hooked tools and are able find out the best plant stem. They are also capable of looking for that plant stem even when it is disguised (伪装) with leaves from a different plant species.”（根据今年早些时候发表的一篇论文，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦对它们用来制作钩形工具的植物茎particular，并且能够找到最好的植物茎。它们还能够寻找这种植物的茎，即使它是用不同植物的叶子伪装起来的。）可知，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦寻找最好的植物茎（即使植物茎被伪装起来，乌鸦也能找到它），用最好的植物茎来制作钩状工具，说明新喀里多尼亚乌鸦对用来制作钩形工具的植物茎很挑剔，因此划线词的意思是“挑剔的”，即Picky。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“However, there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought — crows.”（然而，有一种物种的智力比我们想象的要先进得多，可能也更接近于人类——乌鸦。）和下文关于乌鸦智力的科学研究可知，本文主要讲的是乌鸦的智力。故选A。 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项。 How to ease the “smell of toil” Recently, the “smell of toil (班味)” has become a popular topic among the young. Some people joke about how their once good-looking faces now look tired and pale, with dull eyes and thinning hair. The “smell of toil” can come from work pressure, worries about the future, and not having enough personal freedom. It appears in every corner of our daily work: in the office, on the bus, by the roadside... This seems a big and annoying challenge._____16_____ Embrace yourself and experience new things. The first step to feeling better is to accept yourself, no matter what you have experienced during work time or how toughly your boss always treat you. Maybe you are discouraged by your work schedule. Be proud of who you are, and don’t be scared to try new things. _____17_____ But if you don’t try, you won’t know what you’re able to do. To some degree, only by going through something you have never tried, can you find your potential. Separate work from personal life. _____18_____ It’s no secret that our jobs can have a substantial impact on our lives outside work including our body health and emotions. Thus, it’s of vital importance to create a clear line between the two. After work, don’t let your job bother you and enjoy your personal time. _____19_____ Instead of spending your lunch break looking at your phone, take a short walk or spend 20 minutes in a park. Being in nature, even for a little while, can make you feel more energetic and less stressed. Also, you can engage in energizing activities after work, such as jogging, working out in the gym. Of course, a piece of soft music or a calming film when you have a rest can somewhat ease your smell of toil. Don’t delay tasks and focus on rest. Many people put off their tasks when they get home, but delaying things only creates more stress._____20_____ Also, quit unnecessary social events if you feel too tired. Spending time on rest will help you feel better and more ready for the next day. A. Arrange your break time wisely B. Hang out in a park C. But there are various ways to help people ease such a “smell” D. Try to finish small tasks quickly E. One reason why people feel tired is that they mix work and personal life F. Sometimes you are stopped from trying something new because of fear G. Experiencing different things helps develop positive mindsets 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讨论了如何缓解“班味”，并给出了几个具体的建议。 【16题详解】 设空位于首段段尾，应是起到引出主题的作用，根据本文标题“How to ease the “smell of toil” (如何缓解“班味”)”可知，本文主题是讲述如何缓解“班味”，再根据前文“The “smell of toil” can come from work pressure, worries about the future, and not having enough personal freedom. It appears in every corner of our daily work: in the office, on the bus, by the roadside... This seems a big and annoying challenge. (“班味”可能来自工作压力，对未来的担忧，以及没有足够的个人自由。它出现在我们日常工作的每个角落：办公室里、公交车上、路边……这似乎是一个巨大而恼人的挑战。)”可知，C项“But there are various ways to help people ease such a “smell” (但有很多方法可以帮助人们缓解这种“气味”)”和前文构成转折关系，并引出文章主题。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Maybe you are discouraged by your work schedule. Be proud of who you are, and don’t be scared to try new things. (也许你的工作安排让你感到气馁。为自己感到骄傲，不要害怕尝试新事物。)”可知，此处在讲述要勇于尝试新事物，所以F项“Sometimes you are stopped from trying something new because of fear (有时你会因为恐惧而停止尝试新事物)”是对前文的进一步说明，并和后文“But if you don’t try, you won’t know what you’re able to do. (但如果你不尝试，你就不知道你能做什么。)”构成转折关系。故选F项。 【18题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It’s no secret that our jobs can have a substantial impact on our lives outside work including our body health and emotions. Thus, it’s of vital importance to create a clear line between the two. After work, don’t let your job bother you and enjoy your personal time. (众所周知，我们的工作可以对我们工作之外的生活产生重大影响，包括我们的身体健康和情绪。因此，在两者之间划清界限是至关重要的。下班后，不要让你的工作打扰你，享受你的私人时间。)”可知，本段主要讲述不要让你的工作打扰你，享受你的私人时间，所以E项“One reason why people feel tired is that they mix work and personal life (人们感到疲倦的一个原因是他们把工作和个人生活混在一起了)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选E项。 【19题详解】 设空为本段小标题，根据后文“Instead of spending your lunch break looking at your phone, take a short walk or spend 20 minutes in a park. Being in nature, even for a little while, can make you feel more energetic and less stressed. Also, you can engage in energizing activities after work, such as jogging, working out in the gym. Of course, a piece of soft music or a calming film when you have a rest can somewhat ease your smell of toil. (与其把午休时间都花在看手机上，不如散个步，或者在公园里呆上20分钟。置身于大自然中，即使只是一小会儿，也能让你感觉更有活力，压力更小。此外，你也可以在工作之余从事一些充满活力的活动，比如慢跑、去健身房锻炼。当然，在休息的时候听一段轻柔的音乐或看一场平静的电影，可以在一定程度上缓解你的劳累感。)”可知，本段主要讲述合理安排休息时间，所以A项“Arrange your break time wisely (明智地安排你的休息时间)”符合本段主题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Many people put off their tasks when they get home, but delaying things only creates more stress. (许多人一回到家就把工作推迟，但拖延只会带来更多压力。)”可知，本段主要讲述，不要拖延工作，所以D项“Try to finish small tasks quickly (尽量快速完成小任务)”符合本段主题，是对前句提出的问题的建议。故选D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） It was a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon some fifteen or sixteen years ago.

The frightened look on my face told me I must take ____37____ (responsible) to take care of my own health, but the digital world felt like a powerful trap I couldn't escape. I was far from being able to look forward ____38____ the day ahead. Realizing this couldn't continue, I made a ____39____ (strategy) decision. I decided to explore a new morning routine, one where I ____40____ (concentrate) on a single, fulfilling task for one hour — reading a book. This simple act was ____41____ (extreme) difficult at first, as my mind craved digital noise. However, I gradually took control of my attention. This wasn't about great change, but learning to be happy with a small, quiet victory each morning. ____42____ (it) effect was more significant than I had imagined. This small change created a great effect and I got rid of my general anxiety. I was no longer starting my day with stress but with a sense of happiness.

Its 43. to handle 44. an 45. building 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己曾沉迷社交媒体，感觉疲惫焦虑，后来通过改变早晨的习惯，每天专注读书一小时，成功摆脱焦虑，意识到小习惯能带来大改变，有助于构建更快乐、更可控的生活。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：像许多年轻的职场人士一样，我曾经沉迷于社交媒体无休止的滚动页面，这让我一直感到疲惫。逗号后为非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子“我曾经沉迷于社交媒体无休止的滚动页面”这件事，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：我脸上惊恐的表情告诉我，我必须承担起照顾自己健康的责任。take responsibility为固定短语，意为“承担责任”，所以此处用名词responsibility。故填responsibility。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：我根本无法期待未来的一天。look forward to为固定短语，意为“期待”，所以此处用介词to。故填to。 【39题详解】 考查形容词或副词。句意：意识到这种情况不能再继续下去，我做了一个战略性的决定。此处可填形容词strategic“战略性的”，修饰名词decision；也可填副词strategically“战略性地”，修饰动词made。故填strategic/strategically。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：我决定探索一种新的晨间日常活动，每天花一个小时专注于一项有意义的任务——读书。根据主句decided可知，事情发生在过去，所以从句用一般过去时，concentrate的过去式为concentrated。故填concentrated。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：一开始，这个简单的行为极其困难，因为我的大脑渴望数字噪音。此处修饰形容词difficult，要用副词形式，extreme的副词是extremely，意为“极其”。故填extremely。 【42题详解】 考查代词。句意：它的影响比我想象的更显著。此处修饰名词effect，应用形容词性物主代词its，意为“它的”，句首首字母大写。故填Its。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，我真正意识到，这让我明白我们都有能力掌控自己的精神状态，一个有意识养成的小习惯可能是构建更快乐、更可控生活的关键。have the ability to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“有能力做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to handle。故填to handle。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：现在，我真正意识到，这让我明白我们都有能力掌控自己的精神状态，一个有意识养成的小习惯可能是构建更快乐、更可控生活的关键。habit为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个小习惯”，且intentional是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，我真正意识到，这让我明白我们都有能力掌控自己的精神状态，一个有意识养成的小习惯可能是构建更快乐、更可控生活的关键。the key to中的to是介词，后接动词 -ing形式作宾语，所以用building。故填building。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节：应用文写作（满分 15 分） 46. 假如你是李华，你的英国笔友Bob升入高中后没有朋友，感到很孤独，写信向你征求建议。请你就此问题给他回一封信，内容包括： 1. 表示理解； 2. 提出建议； 3. 表达期望。 4、注意：1 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Bob, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Bob, So sorry do I feel to hear that you are feeling lonely without friends in your new school. It is my great privilege to put forward some practical suggestions. First and foremost, it is understandable that you haven’t made new friends in a brand new environment. Making friends takes time and skills.

What’s more, it is strongly recommended that you create more chances for yourself to make new friends by taking an active part in extra-curricular activities. Engaging yourself in various activities can not only help you better adapt to the new school life in a short time, but also ease your loneliness and enrich your school life. Hopefully, the above-mentioned suggestions will be of some help for you. I am looking forward to hearing your good news.

The director did the interview (面试) in person. He had interviewed so many candidates (候选人), but none of them was suitable. He picked up the youth’s resume (履历) and read it carefully. According to the resume, he discovered that the youth’s academic achievements (学习成绩) were excellent all the way, never had a year when he did not score. The director decided to give him a chance. After the routine questions, the director was satisfied with the young man’s ability. He read the resume again to make sure that he didn’t miss any important details. “You got really good grades. Did you obtain any scholarships in school?” asked the director casually. The youth hesitated (犹豫) for a fraction and answered, “None.” The director was kind of surprised, then he asked, “As far as I know, the school fees were so high. Was it your father who paid for it?” The youth answered, “My father passed away (死了) when I was one year old. It was my mother who paid for my fees.” The answer made the director feel curious about the youth’s family, so he said, “It must be very difficult for a single mom to bring you up. May I know your mother’s job?” The youth answered, “My mother works as a clothes cleaner. She’s always busy and washes dirty clothes all day. I once admired other classmates whose parents could take them to the park, but my mother never stopped working. “The director requested the youth to show his hands. The hands were white and beautiful. The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” The youth answered honestly, “Never.” The director then said, “I have a request (要求). When you go back today, clean your mother’s hands, then come to see me tomorrow.” Without any explanation, the director ended the job interview and left. Para 1.

When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother was puzzled at first, then had mixed feelings and showed her hands. He noticed that her hands were so wrinkled. Some bruises were so painful that his mother’s hands trembled even when they were cleaned with warm water. This was the first time he realized that it was this pair of hands that enabled him to get a decent education. After cleaning her hands, the youth quietly cried and washed the remaining clothes. The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office with red and swollen eyes. The director asked, “What did you do yesterday?” The youth answered, “I cleaned my mother’s hands, and helped her finish cleaning all the remaining clothes.” The director smiled and asked, “Did you learn something from that?” The youth said, “By helping my mother, I realize how difficult it is to get something done. I also know what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today.” The director said, “I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others and know the sufferings of others to get things done. You are hired.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以一位成绩优异的年轻人求职经历为线索，讲述了他前往大公司面试，总监了解到他由做洗衣工的单亲母亲抚养长大，却从未帮母亲洗过衣服，于是要求他回家为母亲洗手，次日再来面试的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尽管很困惑，但年轻人觉得自己得到这份工作的机会很大。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人请求为母亲洗手，过程中发现母亲双手布满皱纹、有伤痕，才意识到母亲的辛苦，之后默默哭泣并帮母亲洗完剩余衣服的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，年轻人红着眼睛、眼眶肿胀地来到总监办公室。”可知，第二段可描写总监询问年轻人昨日所为，年轻人分享自己的感悟，总监表示公司需要懂得感恩、体谅他人辛苦的人，最终录用他的情景。 2. 续写线索：回家请母亲洗手 —— 发现母亲手的伤痕与辛苦 —— 帮母亲洗衣 —— 次日带红肿眼睛见总监 —— 分享感悟 —— 被录用 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①洗手：clean her hands/wash her hands ②颤抖：tremble/shake/shiver ③录用：hire/employ 情绪类 ①困惑：confused/puzzled ②感激：appreciation /gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型 1] This was the first time he realized that it was this pair of hands that enabled him to get a decent education.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及强调句型结构） [高分句型 2] I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others and know the sufferings of others to get things done.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度上学期高一期中考试 英语试卷 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.

My name is Joe Mari, I am a male nurse from the Philippines who is working overseas, and sometimes, being away from your family and friends, you’ll mostly feel lonely, bored, and homesick. So in my spare time I draw portraits of people using Faber Castell classic coloured pencils, ballpoint pen, and pencil for black and white ones. I started drawing and won my first inter-school competition when I was 5. By that time I had no dreams of being an artist, as I thought it was all a ‘game’ and I was never serious about art. I became a part of my school paper as a cartoonist until high school and then time passed and I have forgotten about drawing. It went on to being just a hobby until I tried to get back at it again two years ago. I watched YouTube videos every night, trying to figure out how to improve my skills. Drawing people’s faces is a fascination for me, which is obviously displayed in my works. You’re probably wondering why I never took any courses related to art, and why I am a nurse. You see, there is a fine line between your dreams and your passion. I took the medical field in hopes of giving service to as many people as I can. I have always been fascinated by the world of Science and by the world of Art at the same time. My intention in sharing this story is not to compare, but rather to bring out whatever other interests you may have inside you. Sure you may be working in front of a desk at day, but who knows, maybe you also rock out with your band at night. With enough patience and perseverance, nothing can prevent passion. I hope I inspired you all with my story, so go on, get that paper and whatever tool you can use to create art! 4. What’s the author’s way to get rid of negative feeling? A. Picking up his fancy B. Playing games C. Achieving his dreams D. Sharing his stories 5. What did he do to have his painting skills improved? A. He took some courses B. He watched online video C. He worked every day D. He attended competitions 6. Why did the author choose to be a male nurse? A. He wanted to contribute to medicine. B. He wanted to help more people. C. He wanted to develop his interest in art. D. He wanted to encourage others. 7. Which of the following best describes the author? A Ordinary and warm-hearted. B. Appealing and open-minded. C. Humorous and well-educated D. Hard-working and strong-willed. C If Confucius (孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.  These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he won’t soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly intended to do? A. To provide some key facts about Confucius. B. To attract the readers’ interest in the subject. C. To show great respect for the ancient thinker. D. To prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations. 9. What can we learn about the American students in Paragraph 4? A. They have a great interest in studying Chinese. B. They try to get high scores in their Chinese exams. C. They take an active part in fierce Chinese competitions. D. They fight for a chance to understand Chinese customers. 10. What is the best title for the passage? A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future 11. Where is the passage most likely to appear? A. In a biography. B. In a history paper. C. In a newspaper. D. In a philosophy textbook. D When thinking about intelligence, we often place humans at the top of the ranks. However, there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought — crows (乌鸦). In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end to make a hooked (钩状的) tool. Then the crow used the hooked tool to lift a pig’s heart from a small container to eat. Many years later, researchers found that bending tools was in fact not that unusual for New Caledonian crows. As part of the Corvid family of birds, the brains of New Caledonian crows and others within the family have been studied more closely. Corvids have shown amazing cognitive (认知的) abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex — a brain structure that allows for advanced cognitive development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons (神经元) which have enabled the bird to have similar mental capacities like humans. According to a paper published earlier this year, New Caledonians are particular about the plant stem (茎) which they use to make their hooked tools and are able find out the best plant stem. They are also capable of looking for that plant stem even when it is disguised (伪装) with leaves from a different plant species. Crows are also able to use their abilities to solve advanced problems. Crows also seem to use their cleverness for fun, much like humans do, as young birds love to play. New Caledonian crows have emotions and memories and are cognitively skilled animals. They just might not be so different from us humans after all! 12. How did Betty surprise the scientists? A She made a hooked tool. B. She escaped from her cage. C. She managed to lift a heavy container. D. She showed great interest in pig’s heart. 13. What do we know about New Caledonian crows? A. They remain unknown to humans. B. They are quite different from other corvids. C. Their brain structure is similar to that of humans. D. Their cognitive abilities are decided by neurons. 14. What does the underlined word “particular ” in paragraph 4 mean ? A. Anxious. B. Happy. C. Picky. D. Curious. 15. What is the text mainly about ? A. The intelligence of crows. B. The survival skills of crows. C. The development of the crow family. D. The memories of crows. 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项。 How to ease the “smell of toil” Recently, the “smell of toil (班味)” has become a popular topic among the young. Some people joke about how their once good-looking faces now look tired and pale, with dull eyes and thinning hair. The “smell of toil” can come from work pressure, worries about the future, and not having enough personal freedom. It appears in every corner of our daily work: in the office, on the bus, by the roadside... This seems a big and annoying challenge._____16_____ Embrace yourself and experience new things. The first step to feeling better is to accept yourself, no matter what you have experienced during work time or how toughly your boss always treat you.
