Known as the “blue platform,” this cave-like stop is decorated with plant patterns painted on raw granite rock (花岗岩) by artist Per-Olof Ulvedt. The station is one of the first in the city to host works of art. Toledo Station Naples, Italy Toledo station offers a futuristic look. The station has become a source of inspiration for photographers thanks to its underground room dominated by Crater de Luz, a sculpture by architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca, which passes through each level of the station. The walls are covered in a mosaic (马赛克) of white, blue, gold, and black tiles (瓷砖). Old City Hall Station New York, City the US Though it hasn’t been in use since 1945, the Old City Hall stop is still one of the most beautiful stations in the New York City subway system. Among the standout features are the skillfully tiled archways by Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, as well as the arched ceilings, skylights, and colorful glass windows. Arts et Métiers Station Paris, France Arts et Métiers station lies below Paris’s surface like a submarine (潜水艇). As you step inside, your eye is drawn to massive gears (齿轮) hanging from the ceiling and portholes filled with imagery from the 19th century. The station was updated in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten, who drew inspiration from the science fiction works of Jules Verne and the nearby Musée des Arts et Métiers, an industrial design museum featuring inventions from the 18th and 19th centuries. 1.

(Arts et Métiers站像一艘潜水艇一样位于巴黎地面之下)”以及“The station was updated in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten(该车站于1994年由比利时漫画艺术家弗朗索瓦·舒滕更新设计)”可知，以潜水艇为主题的车站由弗朗索瓦·舒滕设计。故选B项。 B Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees reshaped our understanding of the animal kingdom and inspired generations to protect the natural world. Beginning her research in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park in 1960, the 26-year-old Goodall brought a fresh perspective to animal behavior studies. With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like “David Greybeard” instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools — a capability once thought unique to humans. Goodall’s most famous discovery came when she witnessed David Greybeard modifying a twig to “fish” for termites. This finding, along with her records of chimpanzees exhibiting behaviors such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emotions like grief and joy, fundamentally challenged the boundaries between humans and other animals. Her methods, initially criticized by some scientists, ultimately revolutionized the field of primatology and established a new paradigm for animal behavior research. Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall transformed into a global conservation leader. She established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and founded the “Roots & Shoots” youth program in 1991, empowering young people in over 100 countries to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Honored as a UN Messenger of Peace and receiving numerous awards, including the presidential Medal of Freedom, Goodall’s true legacy lies in the enduring hope she instilled in millions worldwide. She proved that one person’s dedication can indeed change the world. 4. What made Goodall’s work significant? A. She worked extensively with chimpanzees in laboratory environments. B. She greatly changed our perception of animals and inspired environmental protection. C. She was mainly recognized for establishing an international wildlife research institute. D. She proved that formal academic training is useless for important scientific discoveries. 5. Why did Goodall name the chimpanzees instead of numbering them? A. It helped her to secure more research funding for her project. B. It was a requirement of the Gombe Stream National Park. C. It reflected her unique methodology and personal approach to studying animal behavior. D. It was a common practice among scientists at the time to ensure objectivity. 6 Which of the following best describes Goodall according to the passage? A. Well-trained and educated. B. Conventional and determined. C. Patient and devoted. D. Competitive and ambitious. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To outline the scientific process of primate tool-making in detail. B. To criticize the initial skepticism of the scientific community towards a female researcher. C. To honor the life and highlight her scientific and conservation impacts. D. To promote the “Roots & Shoots” youth program and encourage reader participation. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了著名灵长类动物学家兼环保主义者珍·古道尔的生平，介绍了她在黑猩猩研究上的重大发现及在全球环保领域的贡献，彰显其对世界的深远影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees reshaped our understanding of the animal kingdom and inspired generations to protect the natural world.(她在黑猩猩研究方面的开创性工作重塑了我们对动物界的认知，并激励了一代又一代人去保护自然界)”可知，古道尔的工作意义在于极大地改变了人们对动物的认知，同时还激励了人们参与环保事业。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like “David Greybeard” instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. (她没有接受过正规的科学训练，却开创了一种充满关怀、非侵入性的黑猩猩观察方法。她打破了科学惯例，给黑猩猩起了如“灰胡子大卫”这样的名字，而非用编号称呼它们，这样她就能记录下黑猩猩各自的性格特点和复杂的情感生活)”可知，她不给黑猩猩编号而是命名，这打破了常规，是她研究动物行为的独特方法和个人研究方式的体现。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools—a capability once thought unique to humans.(她的耐心和专注促成了多项具有革命性的发现，其中包括她观察到黑猩猩会使用和制造工具，而这种能力曾被认为是人类独有的)”可知，文中明确提到耐心和专注是古道尔的特质。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees reshaped our understanding of the animal kingdom and inspired generations to protect the natural world.(著名灵长类动物学家、环保主义者珍·古道尔博士于2025年10月1日安详离世，享年91岁。她在黑猩猩研究方面的开创性工作重塑了我们对动物界的认知，并激励了一代又一代人去保护自然界)”以及全文对她科研成果和环保贡献的阐述可知，文章旨在缅怀珍·古道尔，同时重点突出她在科研和环保领域产生的重大影响。故选C项。 C America’s State Department places the languages it teaches ambassadors (外交官) into four categories, with estimates of how long they take to learn them ranging from 24 to 88 weeks. What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English speaker? The first thing many will think of is the different writing system. Indeed none of the State Department’s hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet (字母表) used by most European languages. Chinese stands out for its difficulty. Arabic is alphabet, with just a couple of dozen letters. Its two complications are that letters change shape depending on where they appear in a word (beginning, middle, end or alone) and that short vowels (元音) are not written. A second way languages can be hard is with sound distinctions that do not exist in the learner’s language. In Hindi, the t-and d-sounds can be retroflex (卷舌音的) or not, making two different letters that can distinguish two different words (moti with a retroflex means “fat, thick” and with a non-retroflex t means “pearl”). The words obviously matter too. Most European languages share an ancestor and so their words, too, often come in related pairs. If you know water in Spanish is agua, it is easy to figure out Italian aqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated to European ones will lack linguistic (语言的) similarity in vocabulary. Grammar can further complicate foreign language learning. Therefore, the overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar. These come in different percentages: one professor of Chinese has called it the most difficult language he has ever learned to write and the easiest he has learned to speak. If you want to learn a language just for fun, start with Swedish. If you want to learn an impressive number, stay in Europe. But if you really want to impress, boosting your brain power to master Chinese is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman. 8. What makes writing Arabic difficult for English speakers? A. The variations of its vowels. B. The flexibility of its letters. C. The width of its vocabulary. D. The similarities it bears to Latin. 9. What can we learn about retroflex sounds? A. They are very common in Arabic. B They differentiate meaning in Hindi. C. They make Hindi vocabulary easy to learn. D. They are unfound in many European languages. 10. Why is the professor mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To recognize his achievements in studying grammar. B. To offer a standard to decide on language complexity. C. To show that language difficulty is multi-dimensional. D. To highlight the high-level difficulty of Chinese. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Which languages take English users the longest to learn? B. How can Americans learn a foreign language more effectively? C. Which foreign languages are popular with English speakers? D. Why is learning a second language important for ambassadors? 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要分析了英语母语者学习不同外语的难度因素，包括书写系统、发音差异、词汇相似性和语法复杂性，并以具体语言（如汉语、阿拉伯语、印地语）为例说明这些难点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Arabic is alphabet, with just a couple of dozen letters. Its two complications are that letters change shape depending on where they appear in a word (beginning, middle, end or alone) and that short vowels are not written. (阿拉伯语是字母表，只有几十个字母。它的两个复杂之处是，字母的形状会根据它们在单词中的出现位置（开始、中间、结束或单独出现）而变化，并且短元音不会被书写。)”可知，让说英语的人很难写阿拉伯语的原因在于其字母的灵活多变。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Hindi, the t-and d-sounds can be retroflex or not, making two different letters that can distinguish two different words (moti with a retroflex means “fat, thick” and with a non-retroflex t means “pearl”). (在印地语中，t和d音可以是卷舌音，也可以不是卷舌音。这两个字母可以区分两个不同的单词（带有卷舌音的moti表示“胖、厚”，而带有非卷舌音t则表示“珍珠”）。)”可知，卷舌音在印地语中能够区分词义。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Grammar can further complicate foreign language learning. Therefore, the overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar. These come in different percentages: one professor of Chinese has called it the most difficult language he has ever learned to write and the easiest he has learned to speak. (语法会使外语学习更加复杂。因此，语言的整体难度可以看作是其书写系统、发音、单词和语法难度的总和。这些方面在不同语言中占比不同：一位中文教授称其为他学过的最难写的语言，也是他学过最容易说的语言。)”可知，提到教师的例子是为了说明前面提出的观点：语言的整体难度是各个方面难度的总和，说明语言难度是多维度的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文内容，且结合第一段“America’s State Department places the languages it teaches ambassadors into four categories, with estimates of how long they take to learn them ranging from 24 to 88 weeks. What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English speaker? (美国国务院将其教授给外交官的语言分为四类，据估计，学习这些语言所需的时间从24周到88周不等。那么，对于英语使用者来说，这些语言的难度根源何在？)”可知，文章开篇即提出美国国务院将外交官需要学习的语言按难度分为四类，学习时间从24到88周不等，接着从书写系统、发音、词汇和语法四个方面分析了造成语言难度差异的原因，最后给出学习建议。全文核心是在探讨不同语言对英语使用者的学习难度及原因，选项A“哪些语言需要英语用户学习的时间最长？”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D Some teachers use a slight dip of the head. Some like to fold their arms and lean back, pushing their chest out. And for others, they may shrug impatiently, as if their body were a balloon and someone just popped it. In truth, though, there are hundreds — if not thousands — of ways a teacher may position their body to manage behaviour. An important question may be: did you have it right in the first place? Research shows that a teacher’s posture can be important in successful classroom behaviour management and that, when trying to convey a message, how you put your point across can carry much more significance than the point itself. In a 2018 study, Teachers’ Strategy of Positioning in Teaching Young Learners by Novi Rahayu Resuningrum, of YARSI University in Indonesia, it was said that if you use a strong posture and confident body language, you show your students that you’re approachable, that you support their learning and that you aren’t posing a threat for them to act out against. What’s more, the study showed that this positioning is an element that needs to be considered carefully before teaching, or when you plan the lesson, to be able to teach effectively in terms of time and method. But what is a “confident” body position? And what else do you need to know about the signals that your body is giving out around behaviour management? For a start, trying to look tough will almost certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadous, a body language expert who works with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. The organisation is set up by teachers to train colleagues to act properly. “Trying to look authoritative by having a military posture, with your chest out and shoulders back, can be really tiring on the body, and it’s also quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的),” she explains. 12. Why does the author list some examples in the first paragraph? A. To bring up the topic of teachers’ body language. B. To show which reader group the text is targeted at. C. To discuss in which way teachers should manage the class. D. To suggest what body language teachers should have in class. 13. What did the 2018 study find out about teachers’ body language? A. A teacher’s body language is necessary for teaching. B. Reading a teacher’s body language is difficult for students. C. A teacher’s strong body language makes students lose interest. D. Using too much body language is unhelpful in managing a class. 14. What is Esther Miltiadous’s attitude to looking tough? A. Disapproving. B. Uncaring. C. Thankful. D. Friendly. 15. What will most probably be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. Other advice for teachers on improving students’ performances. B. Other ways for teachers to manage their bodies in class. C. Other influences of teachers’ behaviour on students. D. Other studies on body language. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出教师肢体语言对课堂行为管理至关重要，2018年研究强调课前需规划自信姿态，专家则认为刻意表现强硬不可取。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段列举教师不同身体姿态的例子，以及第二段“Research shows that a teacher’s posture can be important in successful classroom behaviour management and that, when trying to convey a message, how you put your point across can carry much more significance than the point itself.(研究表明，教师的姿态对课堂行为管理的成效至关重要；而且在传递信息时，表达方式的重要性远超过信息本身)”可推知，列举例子是为了引出教师肢体语言这一主题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“What’s more, the study showed that this positioning is an element that needs to be considered carefully before teaching, or when you plan the lesson, to be able to teach effectively in terms of time and method.(此外，该研究表明，为了在时间安排和教学方法上实现高效教学，这种姿态定位需要在授课前或备课阶段认真考量)”可知，2018年的研究发现教师的肢体语言对教学是必要的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For a start, trying to look tough will almost certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadous, a body language expert who works with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. (肢体语言专家埃丝特・米尔蒂亚杜斯表示，首先，刻意表现得强硬几乎肯定会失败。她任职于亚历山大技巧教师协会)”以及“Trying to look authoritative by having a military posture, with your chest out and shoulders back, can be really tiring on the body, and it’s also quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的),(刻意摆出挺胸收腹、双肩后张的军事化姿态来彰显权威，不仅会让身体倍感疲惫，还显得极具攻击性)”可推知，埃丝特・米尔蒂亚杜斯对“表现强硬”持反对态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕教师肢体语言对课堂管理的重要性、2018年的相关研究，以及“表现强硬不可取”展开，且第四段提出疑问“But what is a “confident” body position? And what else do you need to know about the signals that your body is giving out around behaviour management?(但何为“自信”的肢体姿态？在课堂行为管理中，关于身体所传递的信号，你还需要了解哪些内容？)”可推知，下文最可能讨论教师在课堂上管理自身肢体的其他方法。故选B项。 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。 How to Stay Safe Online It’s no secret that the internet is home to some shady characters, but staying safe online doesn’t require you to turn your internet off.

We’ve come to say goodbye. “Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard. “Any last farewells, Marissa?” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home. When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west, where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking up to the sound of a seagull’s cry. After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy. I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. I rub my eyes, sit up and listen. Bird calls drift over the fields. Filled with curiosity, I creep down the stairs onto the back porch and squint toward the sky. To my amazement, a silver cloud of wings wheels above the freshly turned soils. I can’t believe my eyes. “Seagulls!” I gulp. But how can that be? Thrilled yet confused, I hurry to Dad, who is already working on the farm. “They are desert gulls,” Dad says with a grin. Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. They don’t seem to mind that they don’t belong here. I close my eyes and listen to the gulls who have lived here forever. This place doesn’t feel like home. But I feel a piece of home sneaking up on me anyway. I have something new to put on the list of New Things I Love. Maybe seagulls aren’t new, but desert gulls are new to me. I wonder if a sea girl can learn to be happy here, too. Maybe someday Mom, Dad, Ben, and I will be watching the rosy sunrise and I’ll hear a gull shriek. I’ll say, “Reminds you of home, doesn’t it?” And it won’t matter which home I mean. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了玛丽莎一家离开海边的家搬去西部，出发前她向熟悉的港口、海鸥告别，满心不舍。经过几天车程抵达爷爷家，她在阁楼整理思绪，列出思念的旧物，而“喜爱的新事物”清单仍空白，夜里还梦到了海边的海鸥。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“第二天早上，我睁开眼睛看着天花板，但我仍然听到海鸥的叫声。”可知，本段可描写作者真的看到了海鸥，感到惊讶，去询问父亲它们的来历。 ②根据第二段首句“爸爸告诉我这些沙漠海鸥150年前来到这里。”可知，本段可描写作者把海鸥列入“喜爱的新事物”清单，对美好生活的想象，并认定此处为自己的“家”。 2.续写线索 依然听到海鸥叫声——确定自己看到海鸥——惊讶并询问父亲——父亲告知海鸥的来历——将海鸥列入“喜爱的新事物”清单——对美好生活的想象——认定此处是“家” 3.词类激活 行为类 ①揉擦：rub/wipe ②眯眼：squint/screw one’s eyes 情绪类 ①兴奋的：thrilled/overjoyed ②快乐的：happy/delighted ③惊讶：amazement/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】Thrilled yet confused, I hurry to Dad, who is already working on the farm.(运用了形容词作状语和who引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】I wonder if a sea girl can learn to be happy here, too.(运用了if引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026年度第一学期高二四校期中联考 英语 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The World’s Most Beautiful Subway Stations T-Centralen Station Stockholm, Sweden Stockholm has no shortage of striking subway stations, but perhaps the most recognizable is T-Centralen station. Known as the “blue platform,” this cave-like stop is decorated with plant patterns painted on raw granite rock (花岗岩) by artist Per-Olof Ulvedt. The station is one of the first in the city to host works of art. Toledo Station Naples, Italy Toledo station offers a futuristic look. The station has become a source of inspiration for photographers thanks to its underground room dominated by Crater de Luz, a sculpture by architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca, which passes through each level of the station. The walls are covered in a mosaic (马赛克) of white, blue, gold, and black tiles (瓷砖). Old City Hall Station New York, City the US Though it hasn’t been in use since 1945 the Old City Hall stop is still one of the most beautiful stations in the New York City subway system. Among the standout features are the skillfully tiled archways by Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, as well as the arched ceilings, skylights, and colorful glass windows. Arts et Métiers Station Paris, France Arts et Métiers station lies below Paris’s surface like a submarine (潜水艇). As you step inside, your eye is drawn to massive gears (齿轮) hanging from the ceiling and portholes filled with imagery from the 19th century. The station was updated in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten, who drew inspiration from the science fiction works of Jules Verne and the nearby Musée des Arts et Métiers, an industrial design museum featuring inventions from the 18th and 19th centuries. 1 Where is the station featuring the Crater de Luz sculpture?

B Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees reshaped our understanding of the animal kingdom and inspired generations to protect the natural world. Beginning her research in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park in 1960, the 26-year-old Goodall brought a fresh perspective to animal behavior studies. With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like “David Greybeard” instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools — a capability once thought unique to humans. Goodall’s most famous discovery came when she witnessed David Greybeard modifying a twig to “fish” for termites. This finding, along with her records of chimpanzees exhibiting behaviors such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emotions like grief and joy, fundamentally challenged the boundaries between humans and other animals. Her methods, initially criticized by some scientists, ultimately revolutionized the field of primatology and established a new paradigm for animal behavior research. Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall transformed into a global conservation leader. She established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and founded the “Roots & Shoots” youth program in 1991, empowering young people in over 100 countries to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Honored as a UN Messenger of Peace and receiving numerous awards, including the presidential Medal of Freedom, Goodall’s true legacy lies in the enduring hope she instilled in millions worldwide. She proved that one person’s dedication can indeed change the world. 4. What made Goodall’s work significant? A. She worked extensively with chimpanzees in laboratory environments. B. She greatly changed our perception of animals and inspired environmental protection. C. She was mainly recognized for establishing an international wildlife research institute. D. She proved that formal academic training is useless for important scientific discoveries. 5. Why did Goodall name the chimpanzees instead of numbering them? A. It helped her to secure more research funding for her project. B. It was a requirement of the Gombe Stream National Park. C. It reflected her unique methodology and personal approach to studying animal behavior. D. It was a common practice among scientists at the time to ensure objectivity. 6. Which of the following best describes Goodall according to the passage? A. Well-trained and educated. B. Conventional and determined. C. Patient and devoted. D. Competitive and ambitious. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To outline the scientific process of primate tool-making in detail. B To criticize the initial skepticism of the scientific community towards a female researcher. C. To honor the life and highlight her scientific and conservation impacts. D. To promote the “Roots & Shoots” youth program and encourage reader participation. C America’s State Department places the languages it teaches ambassadors (外交官) into four categories, with estimates of how long they take to learn them ranging from 24 to 88 weeks. What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English speaker? The first thing many will think of is the different writing system. Indeed none of the State Department’s hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet (字母表) used by most European languages. Chinese stands out for its difficulty. Arabic is alphabet, with just a couple of dozen letters. Its two complications are that letters change shape depending on where they appear in a word (beginning, middle, end or alone) and that short vowels (元音) are not written. A second way languages can be hard is with sound distinctions that do not exist in the learner’s language. In Hindi, the t-and d-sounds can be retroflex (卷舌音的) or not, making two different letters that can distinguish two different words (moti with a retroflex means “fat, thick” and with a non-retroflex t means “pearl”). The words obviously matter too. Most European languages share an ancestor and so their words, too, often come in related pairs. If you know water in Spanish is agua, it is easy to figure out Italian aqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated to European ones will lack linguistic (语言的) similarity in vocabulary. Grammar can further complicate foreign language learning. Therefore, the overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar. These come in different percentages: one professor of Chinese has called it the most difficult language he has ever learned to write and the easiest he has learned to speak. If you want to learn a language just for fun start with Swedish. If you want to learn an impressive number, stay in Europe. But if you really want to impress, boosting your brain power to master Chinese is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman. 8. What makes writing Arabic difficult for English speakers? A. The variations of its vowels. B. The flexibility of its letters. C. The width of its vocabulary. D. The similarities it bears to Latin. 9. What can we learn about retroflex sounds? A. They are very common in Arabic. B. They differentiate meaning in Hindi. C. They make Hindi vocabulary easy to learn. D. They are unfound in many European languages. 10. Why is the professor mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To recognize his achievements in studying grammar. B. To offer a standard to decide on language complexity. C. To show that language difficulty is multi-dimensional. D. To highlight the high-level difficulty of Chinese. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Which languages take English users the longest to learn? B. How can Americans learn a foreign language more effectively? C. Which foreign languages are popular with English speakers? D. Why is learning a second language important for ambassadors? D Some teachers use a slight dip of the head. Some like to fold their arms and lean back, pushing their chest out. And for others, they may shrug impatiently, as if their body were a balloon and someone just popped it. In truth, though, there are hundreds — if not thousands — of ways a teacher may position their body to manage behaviour. An important question may be: did you have it right in the first place? Research shows that a teacher’s posture can be important in successful classroom behaviour management and that, when trying to convey a message, how you put your point across can carry much more significance than the point itself. In a 2018 study, Teachers’ Strategy of Positioning in Teaching Young Learners by Novi Rahayu Resuningrum, of YARSI University in Indonesia, it was said that if you use a strong posture and confident body language, you show your students that you’re approachable, that you support their learning and that you aren’t posing a threat for them to act out against. What’s more, the study showed that this positioning is an element that needs to be considered carefully before teaching, or when you plan the lesson, to be able to teach effectively in terms of time and method. But what is a “confident” body position? And what else do you need to know about the signals that your body is giving out around behaviour management? For a start, trying to look tough will almost certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadous, a body language expert who works with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. The organisation is set up by teachers to train colleagues to act properly. “Trying to look authoritative by having a military posture, with your chest out and shoulders back, can be really tiring on the body, and it’s also quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的),” she explains. 12. Why does the author list some examples in the first paragraph? A. To bring up the topic of teachers’ body language. B. To show which reader group the text is targeted at. C. To discuss in which way teachers should manage the class. D. To suggest what body language teachers should have in class. 13. What did the 2018 study find out about teachers’ body language? A. A teacher’s body language is necessary for teaching. B. Reading a teacher’s body language is difficult for students. C. A teacher’s strong body language makes students lose interest. D. Using too much body language is unhelpful in managing a class. 14. What is Esther Miltiadous’s attitude to looking tough? A. Disapproving. B. Uncaring. C. Thankful. D. Friendly. 15. What will most probably be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. Other advice for teachers on improving students’ performances. B. Other ways for teachers to manage their bodies in class. C. Other influences of teachers’ behaviour on students. D. Other studies on body language. 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。 How to Stay Safe Online It’s no secret that the internet is home to some shady characters, but staying safe online doesn’t require you to turn your internet off.

We’ve come to say goodbye. “Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard. “Any last farewells, Marissa?” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home. When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west, where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking up to the sound of a seagull’s cry. After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy. I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
