D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是泰国首都曼谷的四个公园。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。对比四个公园的开放时间“Opening Time: Daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.（营业时间：每天早上5点至晚上9点。），Opening Time: Daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.（营业时间：每天早上5点至晚上9点。），Opening Time: Daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.（营业时间：每天早上4:30至晚上9点。），Opening Time: Daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.（营业时间：每天早上5点至晚上10点。））”可知，开门最早的公园是Chatuchak Park。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Benjasiri Park部分的“Benjasiri Park is the place to be for sculpture lovers, with some of the best examples of Thai sculptures around the park reflecting historical features.（Benjasiri公园是雕塑爱好者的地方，公园周围有一些最好的泰国雕塑，反映了历史特征。） ”可知，与其他三个公园相比，Benjasiri公园的特别之处是传统雕塑。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Benjakitti Park中的“You'll also find skate tracks, a central pavilion with fountains, and an impressive half-circle courtyard that's popular for picnics.（你还会发现溜冰跑道，有喷泉的中央凉亭，以及令人印象深刻的半圆形庭院，那里是野餐的好去处。）”和Sanam Luang Park中的“On most days, you can enjoy a family picnic in the breezy late afternoon while watching an exciting game of volleyball.（在大多数日子里，在微风拂面的傍晚，你可以一边享受家庭野餐，一边观看激动人心的排球比赛。）”可知，Benjakitti公园和Sanam Luang公园都有一些野餐的地方。故选D。 B Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) since birth, gives voice to her experience in In Pursuit of “Normal”, a work that touches people not through explanation but through the quiet weight of its observation. To read it as someone familiar with disability is to recognize one’s own reflections in another’s mirror—less a discovery than a return. What stands apart is Martha’s refusal to soften the reoccurring nature of our obstacles. She writes that hospitals, where one might assume disability would be taken care of, often function instead as monuments to misfitting—“like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole”. Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to pass through. Throughout each stage of her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive environments and struggles greatly otherwise. My favorite adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing brands employing seated models in wheelchairs in their advertisements—not as a favor, but as reimagination of who is seen, and how. Martha makes a clear, easy-to-follow distinction between when she gets the kind of support that makes her life more equal, and when she does not. Recounting these hardships never feels like a lecture or a reframing of history. Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability. The book will speak, too, to caregivers—not with instruction, but with insight. Within Martha’s telling of struggle and perseverance lies a deeper suggestion: that possibility is sustained not by the absence of limitation, but by the presence of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament to her strength and resolve. 4. What is the issue faced by disabled people according to paragraph 2? A. The lack of access to emergency care. B. The neglect of their emotional condition. C. The gap between their needs and facilities. D. The shortage of available staff to help them. 5. Why does the author speak highly of some clothing advertisements? A. Because they show clothing in a variety of sizes. B. Because they offer fashion guides to wheelchair users. C Because they feature models with different figures. D. Because they help wheelchair users visualize the clothing. 6. How does the author describe the tone of the book? A. Formal and practical. B. Subjective and realistic. C. Optimistic and abstract. D. Sincere and straightforward. 7. What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Martha Siede: A fighter Against disabilities B. In Pursuit of “Normal”: More Than a Disabled Person’s Story C. How Inclusive Environments Shape Disabled People’s Lives D. The Challenges Faced by Disabled Individuals in Daily Life 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者的阅读体验，介绍Martha Siede的作品《追寻“常态”》，同时分享了残疾人的生活困境与作品的价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to pass through.(Martha的经历让我感同身受，我也曾在医院里倍感沮丧：狭窄的门口、拥挤的空间，都让我难以通行)”可知，残疾人面临的问题是需求与设施不匹配，如医院的窄门、拥挤空间等。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“My favorite adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing brands employing seated models in wheelchairs in their advertisements—not as a favor, but as reimagination of who is seen, and how.(我最喜欢书中讲到的一个适应性调整案例：服装品牌在广告中启用坐轮椅的模特，这并非出于施舍，而是对谁会被看见、如何被看见的重新构想)”可知，作者认可服装广告是因为其启用轮椅模特，帮助轮椅使用者直观看到服装效果。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability.(相反地，Martha的文字格外真诚，既探讨严肃的健康问题，也直白地聊一些沉重的话题，二者间的平衡把握得恰到好处。这种基调与我身患抑郁症和残疾的生活体验高度契合。)”可知，书的语气是真诚且直截了当的，既真实又直接讨论抑郁等话题。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) since birth, gives voice to her experience in In Pursuit of‘Normal’, a work that touches people not through explanation but through the quiet weight of its observation.(Martha Siede自出生起就患有肌张力障碍型脑瘫，她在《追寻‘常态’》一书中倾诉了自己经历——这部作品并非靠说教打动读者，而是以细腻深刻的观察潜移默化地引发共鸣。)”以及第五段中“It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament to her strength and resolve.(它不只是生存的故事，更是她力量与决心的见证。)”可知，文章开篇即点明Martha的作品《追寻“常态”》，又强调它不只是生存的故事，更是她力量与决心的见证。因此选项B“《追寻“常态”》：不止是残疾人的故事”可以作为最佳标题。故选B。 C A simple handshake may reveal more than just a greeting. A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics. Dr. Emily Carter, a behavioral psychologist leading the research, studies non-verbal (非口头的) communication and its role in relationships. Her curiosity about handshakes began during a leadership workshop. She noticed that participants’ handshakes varied significantly, and she wondered if these differences might carry meaningful information. To test her idea, she and her team conducted an experiment. The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses. The findings were illuminating. Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness. Carter believes these insights have practical applications. For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication. However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story. 8. How did Dr. Carter and her team study handshakes? A. By conducting surveys. B. By analyzing prior data. C. By observing participants. D. By interviewing volunteers. 9. What does the underlined word “illuminating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Convincing. B. Revealing. C. Disturbing. D. Confusing. 10. What can we learn about handshake analysis? A. It helps interpret hidden emotions. B. It enhances communication skills. C. It contributes to bonding with clients. D. It facilitates the process of negotiation. 11. What can be inferred about human interaction according to the last paragraph? A. Non-verbal clues often mislead us. B. Handshakes are key to communication. C. One gesture cannot explain everything. D. Body language speaks louder than words. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现握手方式能无意识传递情绪与性格特质，以及研究过程、结果、应用及对人际互动的启示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses.(研究人员找到了200名志愿者，并使用高速摄像机和压力传感器记录他们的握手情况。参与者被要求在不同场景下与陌生人、朋友和同事握手，例如初次见面、解决冲突或庆祝成功。该团队还测量了参与者的心率和皮肤反应，以追踪他们的情绪反应)”可知，卡特博士及其团队通过使用设备记录志愿者在不同场景下的握手、心率和皮肤反应来研究握手，本质是对参与者的观察。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness.(有力、坚定的握手通常与自信和热情相关，而无力的握手往往暗示紧张或不适。值得注意的是，时间较长且带有轻微向上动作的握手与兴奋有关，而短暂、僵硬的握手则反映出紧张。该研究还表明，一个人手的温度和湿度可以反映其情绪状态。当参与者感到焦虑或压力大时，手部温暖且略带潮湿的情况更为常见，而手部凉爽、干燥则与平静有关)”可知，后文详细阐述了研究得出的关于握手与情绪、性格关联的具体结论，这些结论是有启发意义、能揭示真相的，因此“illuminating”意为“揭示真相的、有启发作用的”，与“Revealing”含义相近。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics.(一项新研究表明，人们的握手方式可能会无意识地传递情绪和性格特质)”以及第五段中的“For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication.(例如，商业人士可以利用握手分析在谈判中更好地理解客户的情绪。同样，顾问也可以将其作为一种工具，不单纯依赖语言交流就能了解客户的情绪状态)”可知，握手分析有助于解读人们隐藏的情绪。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story. (然而，卡特提醒道，握手只是其中的一部分。“人际互动很复杂，像握手这样简单的动作也能传递很多信息，”她说。随着科学家们继续探索非语言交流的奥秘，很明显，没有任何一个单一的手势能说明全部情况)”可知，卡特指出握手只是人际互动中的一个部分，没有单一手势能解释所有情况。由此推知，人际互动中一个手势无法说明一切。故选C项。 D Buildings and construction contribute to over 37% of global carbon emissions (排放), which include both operational emissions (from heating, cooling, and lighting) and embodied carbon (from building materials and construction activities). Retrofitting existing buildings — especially deep retrofits — can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health, comfort, and reducing long-term energy costs for residents. Environmental scientist Diana Urge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80 — 90%. Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air scaling, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shows that, in addition to saving energy, deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air, fewer allergens, and lower rates of respiratory illness. To meet international climate targets, the European Union aims to cut building-related emissions sharply by 2050. Urge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals. She recommends using funds from fossil fuels to support energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new construction — especially of luxury homes — and reusing existing buildings are also crucial strategies. Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges. To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials, Urge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex, these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices. Urge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.” 12. What does “deep retrofit” mainly involve? A. Construction of new homes. B. Addition of decorative materials. C. Window and door replacement. D. Energy saving and system upgrade. 13. What probably makes for the realization of “deep retrofits”? A. Bringing in investment. B. Constructing luxury houses. C. Avoiding existing buildings. D. Using fossil fuels efficiently. 14. What is the main difficulty of using biobased materials? A. Heavy toxicity. B. Fast growth. C. Unstable sourcing. D. Carbon storage. 15. What does Urge-Vorsatz imply in the last paragraph? A. Life cycle assessments are simple tools. B. Deep retrofits should be put into practice. C. Life cycle assessments require wise choices. D. Deep retrofits will encounter many difficulties. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“深度建筑改造”展开，强调其在减少碳排放、改善居民的生活质量以及推动可持续发展方面的重要作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Retrofitting existing buildings — especially deep retrofits — can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health, comfort, and reducing long-term energy costs for residents.(对现有建筑进行改造——尤其是深度改造——能够显著减少这些排放量，同时还能改善居民的健康状况、舒适度，并降低长期的能源成本)”和第二段“Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air scaling, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system.(与诸如更换窗户或门这类小规模的升级相比，深度改造则涉及对保温、窗户、空气流通和通风系统进行全面的重新设计。这种“整栋建筑”的方法将建筑物视为一个整体系统来对待)”可知，“深度改造”主要包含节能与系统升级。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Urge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals.(乌尔格-沃斯塔茨认为，充足的资金投入至关重要，因为对于大多数个人而言，相关费用实在过高)”可知，促成“深度改造”得以实现的因素可能是寻求投资。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges.(另一个关键重点是采用生物基保温材料，这些材料由诸如麻类植物、稻草甚至像波塞多尼亚海藻这样的快速生长植物制成。它们不仅减少了对化石燃料的依赖，还有可能储存碳并释放更少的毒素。然而，这类材料的供应有限，而且可持续采集它们存在挑战)”可知，使用生物基材料的主要难题是供应不稳定。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials, Urge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex, these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices. Urge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.”(为了更全面地了解建筑材料对环境的影响，乌尔奇-沃萨茨及其团队采用了生命周期评估的方法，该方法会评估从材料生产到最终报废整个过程所产生的全部影响。尽管这些方法较为复杂，但它们有助于建筑商和政策制定者做出明智的选择。乌尔奇-沃萨茨得出结论：深度改造与使用可持续材料是绝对必要的。她说：“我们能否做到这一点并非关键问题，”“我们必须做到。未来永远掌握在我们手中。”)”可知，最后一段强调了绿色建筑深度改造的必要性，故选B。 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。 It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. ____16____ Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. Redefine what patience actually means. If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. ____17____ Let it happen without destroying your mood. ____18____ A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”.

So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first. Slow down your life with your physical movements. When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming, slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do. But rushing around only makes you more annoyed, restless, and anxious. On the contrary, when you physically slow down, your brain tends to follow. Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. ____20____ A. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. B. Change your own attitude towards others. C. In fact, it is something that you can work on. D. It makes sense to control yourself and be patient. E. Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others. F. Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything. G. That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了三种让我们变得更耐心的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. (确实有些人天生比其他人更有耐心，但耐心不一定是与生俱来的品质)”否定了耐心是天生的，下文“Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. (以下是一些在日常生活中更有耐心的建议)”给出培养耐心的方法。C选项“事实上，它是你可以努力培养的东西”承上启下，既衔接前文“非天生”的观点，又引出下文培养建议，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. (如果你对耐心的看法是无休止地令人愉快，从不生气，在任何不便中保持冷静，难怪你觉得不可能有耐心)”指出错误的耐心认知，下文“Let it happen without destroying your mood. (任其发生，别破坏自己的心情)”强调不强行控制。F选项“耐心就是学会放下控制一切的需求”承接前文，纠正错误认知，又与后文“不控制”的做法呼应，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”.(当生活不顺心时，我们如此沮丧的一个重要原因是我们坚持了一堆不言而喻的“应该”)”以及“So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first.(所以，练习接受，然后建立同理心。在发脾气之前，试着停下来考虑一下可能发生的其他事情)”可知，本段核心是“考虑他人、共情”。A选项“设身处地为他人着想”概括了下文“共情、考虑他人”的主旨，适合作为段落标题，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy,” — you stay focused on living your life. (不耐烦的核心往往来自“主角的能量”，即你专注于生活)”指出只关注自身的问题，下文“They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. (他们可能也在应对自己的拖延、变化和优先事项)”提及他人处境，E选项“此外，当你陷入沮丧时，很难考虑到别人”承接前文“只关注自身”的结果，又引出下文对他人处境的说明，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. (即使只是多花点时间深呼吸，也能在逐渐培养耐心中起到奇效)”说明慢动作（如深呼吸）对培养耐心的作用。G选项“这样你就能更清晰地思考，应对任何考验你耐心的事情”承接前文，解释了“深呼吸等慢动作”带来的具体效果，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But ____21____ were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to ____22____ it, so I did. When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “____23____” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear ____24____ in mind. They move to reach a destination.

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 $ 延边第二中学2025——2026学年度第一学期期中考试高二年级英语试卷 注意事项：答案必须写在答题卡上，答在试卷上无效。本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，本试卷满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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.

B Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) since birth, gives voice to her experience in In Pursuit of “Normal”, a work that touches people not through explanation but through the quiet weight of its observation. To read it as someone familiar with disability is to recognize one’s own reflections in another’s mirror—less a discovery than a return. What stands apart is Martha’s refusal to soften the reoccurring nature of our obstacles. She writes that hospitals, where one might assume disability would be taken care of, often function instead as monuments to misfitting—“like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole”. Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to pass through. Throughout each stage of her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive environments and struggles greatly otherwise. My favorite adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing brands employing seated models in wheelchairs in their advertisements—not as a favor, but as reimagination of who is seen, and how. Martha makes a clear, easy-to-follow distinction between when she gets the kind of support that makes her life more equal, and when she does not. Recounting these hardships never feels like a lecture or a reframing of history. Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability. The book will speak, too, to caregivers—not with instruction, but with insight. Within Martha’s telling of struggle and perseverance lies a deeper suggestion: that possibility is sustained not by the absence of limitation, but by the presence of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament to her strength and resolve. 4. What is the issue faced by disabled people according to paragraph 2? A. The lack of access to emergency care. B. The neglect of their emotional condition. C. The gap between their needs and facilities. D. The shortage of available staff to help them. 5. Why does the author speak highly of some clothing advertisements? A. Because they show clothing in a variety of sizes. B. Because they offer fashion guides to wheelchair users. C. Because they feature models with different figures. D. Because they help wheelchair users visualize the clothing. 6. How does the author describe the tone of the book? A. Formal and practical. B. Subjective and realistic. C Optimistic and abstract. D. Sincere and straightforward. 7. What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Martha Siede: A fighter Against disabilities B. In Pursuit of “Normal”: More Than a Disabled Person’s Story C. How Inclusive Environments Shape Disabled People’s Lives D. The Challenges Faced by Disabled Individuals in Daily Life C A simple handshake may reveal more than just a greeting. A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics. Dr. Emily Carter, a behavioral psychologist leading the research, studies non-verbal (非口头的) communication and its role in relationships. Her curiosity about handshakes began during a leadership workshop. She noticed that participants’ handshakes varied significantly, and she wondered if these differences might carry meaningful information. To test her idea, she and her team conducted an experiment. The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses. The findings were illuminating. Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness. Carter believes these insights have practical applications. For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication. However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story. 8. How did Dr. Carter and her team study handshakes? A. By conducting surveys. B. By analyzing prior data. C. By observing participants. D. By interviewing volunteers. 9. What does the underlined word “illuminating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Convincing. B.

D Buildings and construction contribute to over 37% of global carbon emissions (排放), which include both operational emissions (from heating, cooling, and lighting) and embodied carbon (from building materials and construction activities). Retrofitting existing buildings — especially deep retrofits — can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health, comfort, and reducing long-term energy costs for residents. Environmental scientist Diana Urge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80 — 90%. Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air scaling, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shows that, in addition to saving energy, deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air, fewer allergens, and lower rates of respiratory illness. To meet international climate targets, the European Union aims to cut building-related emissions sharply by 2050. Urge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals. She recommends using funds from fossil fuels to support energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new construction — especially of luxury homes — and reusing existing buildings are also crucial strategies. Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges. To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials, Urge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex, these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices. Urge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.” 12 What does “deep retrofit” mainly involve? A. Construction of new homes. B. Addition of decorative materials. C. Window and door replacement. D. Energy saving and system upgrade. 13. What probably makes for the realization of “deep retrofits”? A. Bringing in investment. B. Constructing luxury houses. C. Avoiding existing buildings. D. Using fossil fuels efficiently. 14. What is the main difficulty of using biobased materials? A. Heavy toxicity. B. Fast growth. C. Unstable sourcing. D. Carbon storage. 15. What does Urge-Vorsatz imply in the last paragraph? A. Life cycle assessments are simple tools. B. Deep retrofits should be put into practice. C. Life cycle assessments require wise choices. D. Deep retrofits will encounter many difficulties. 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。 It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. ____16____ Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. Redefine what patience actually means. If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. ____17____ Let it happen without destroying your mood. ____18____ A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”. At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy,” — you stay focused on living your life. ____19____ They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first. Slow down your life with your physical movements. When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming, slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do. But rushing around only makes you more annoyed, restless, and anxious.

Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. ____20____ A Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. B. Change your own attitude towards others. C. In fact, it is something that you can work on. D. It makes sense to control yourself and be patient. E. Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others. F.

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 $
