B Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 4. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 5 Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 6. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C. People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 7. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. C How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split (分摊) the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your household bills. But many dread the moment they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety (焦虑)” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). And once we suppose we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.” The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 8. What doesn’t lead to students’ maths anxiety according to paragraph 2? A. Personal character. B. Homework stress. C. Complex classes. D. Nervous teachers. 9. What does the underlined word “bluffing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stopping to solve the problem. B. Shouting to express maths anxiety. C. Acting like you know the answer. D. Copying answers from others secretly. 10. What can we do to reduce maths anxiety according to the experts? A. Avoid difficult maths tests. B. Voice our fears and try again. C. Start with simple maths problems. D. Forget it and move on to harder problems. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To prove maths is harder than geography. B. To blame teachers for causing math anxiety. C. To stress biological reasons for maths anxiety. D. To explain maths anxiety and provide solutions. D In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 12. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find related information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 13. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4? A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study. 14. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B. To show the importance of making mistakes. C. To stress the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 15. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience. 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。 Children are natural scientists. They ask big questions, notice tiny details, and learn best through hands-on exploration. ___16___ From growing seeds to using the sun’s energy, students don’t just learn science, they experience it. Here are my favorite go-to nature experiments that spark curiosity. Grow a bean in a cup ___17___ I typically use this activity to reinforce our botany (植物学) lessons on plant parts and the life cycle of a plant, giving students a concrete, visual way to connect what they’ve learned in class to real plant growth. To try this experiment yourself, you’ll need clear plastic cups, damp paper towels, and bean seeds. Students put the paper towels into their cups, followed by the seeds, and then the magic happens. ___18___ I encourage students to check on their seeds, using measuring tapes to track growth and sketching anything new they notice. While most students’ seeds will grow quickly, it is a good idea to have backup cups just in case, so that no students feel left out. Watch the water cycle in a bag When I taught fifth grade, one of the most eye-opening experiments we did during our weather unit was the water cycle in a bag. I used it to bring vocabulary like evaporation (蒸发) and condensation (冷凝) to life. ___19___ To set it up, you’ll need zip-top plastic bags, water, permanent markers, and a few drops of blue food coloring for a clear visual effect. Students start by drawing the sun, clouds, and a body of water on their bags with markers. Then they add water, seal the bags, and tape them to a sunny window. Over time, they watch water evaporate, condense, and “rain” inside the bag. I ask students to make daily observations using key vocabulary. ___20___ A. Within days, roots and shoots appear. B. Students start by tearing leaves into small pieces. C. For extra support, I model sentences or provide starters. D. That’s why nature experiments hold a significant place in my teaching. E. I use this experiment with my fourth and fifth graders during our lessons. F. This activity lets students see these processes happening right before their eyes. G. One of my favorite science experiments in fourth grade is growing beans in a cup. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1990, Karen de Boer, a college freshman, felt thrilled when she got into her school’s well-known choir (合唱团) — a group set to tour China and Japan that year.

To her shock, Pam smiled, “I have a car and know the church. Let’s ____29____.” Strange — Karen had been unkind, yet Pam helped without ____30____.

Decades later, Karen reflects: “It wasn’t just a ____33____. It was Pam forgiving those noisy nights. I’d tell her, ‘Sorry I ignored you. Thank you — your kindness, when I least deserved it, taught me to be better. It ____34____ how I treat others for 30 years.’” That small act of grace, she knows, was a ____35____ lesson that outlasted the tour. 21. A. compete B. shine C. connect D. speak 22. A. random B. freezing C. decisive D. busy 23. A. broke B. stepped C. wore D. dropped 24. A. battle B. tour C. light D. fuel 25. A. get on B. chat with C. bring in D. turn to 26.

Clara looked up, with her eyes lighting up with that familiar eagerness Linda had come to both rely on and dislike. “I know! But maybe we could work on it together? My mom’s making pizzas tonight-you could stay over.” Linda hesitated. The truth was she’d already promised her cousin to go shopping, but the thought of disappointing Clara made her feel guilty. “Oh, I can’t,” she lied. “I have to look after my little brother. He’s got a fever.” Clara’s forehead creased (皱眉), “Oh no! Is he okay? Do you need me to bring over soup or something? My grandma is good at making chicken soup.” “No, he’ll be fine,” Linda replied, hurrying toward the exit. She didn’t miss the way Clara’s smile gradually disappeared as she walked away. It wasn’t the first time. Last month, when Clara had tearfully expressed she was struggling with her parents’ breaking up, Linda had nodded along without really paying attention, checking her phone for texts from the popular crowd. When Clara had noticed and asked if something was wrong, Linda had lied her battery was dying-even though she’d just charged it that morning. Today, as Linda went shopping with her cousin, her phone made a noise. It was a message from Clara. “Hey, I just wanted to say I made more soup than needed. Tell me if you want me to bring some over.” Nervous and guilty, Linda typed, “Thanks, but my dad already got food to take home. Maybe another time?” Then she turned off her phone and forced a laugh as her cousin held up a fashionable sweater. At night, Linda thought about the empty soup pot in Clara’s kitchen. She’d always brushed off Clara’s kindness with half-hearted lies. A heavy feeling settled in her chest. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At dawn, she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 芜湖十二中2025-2026学年第一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.

The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 4. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 6. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 7. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过对陶工和黏土的比喻，讲述了环境对我们成长的塑造作用，强调要与激励我们进步的人为伍，从而实现自我提升。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings—the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. (正如陶工将黏土塑造成容器一样，我们的生活也被环境所塑造——我们遇到的人、去过的地方、每一次交谈和经验都在塑造我们是谁)”可知，作者将我们的环境比作陶工，环境对我们的成长起到塑造作用。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. (一开始高中确实令人害怕。我发现周围的人比我想象的更聪明、更聪慧、更漂亮。相比之下，我感到自惭形秽，但正是在这种不适中，我找到了成长)”可知，作者面对更优秀的同伴，初时有压力但随后通过竞争实现了成长，因此可以用“rewarding”(回报丰厚的、有收获的)来描述作者的高中体验。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. (要成长，你必须与那些在你不足的领域中脱颖而出的人在一起，他们会激励你学习和提高)”可知，作者建议与能够激励我们进步的人在一起，这样才能促成自我成长。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher..(所以，找到你的人，那些会激励和提升你的人，他们拥有你想要的品质。他们不会直接把成功交到你手里，而是迫使你不断提升自己)”以及全文核心思想强调与优秀的人为伍，以提升自我。故“Success loves a successful company (成功者喜欢结交成功者)”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 C How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split (分摊) the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your household bills. But many dread the moment they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety (焦虑)” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). And once we suppose we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.” The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 8. What doesn’t lead to students’ maths anxiety according to paragraph 2? A. Personal character. B. Homework stress. C. Complex classes. D. Nervous teachers. 9. What does the underlined word “bluffing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stopping to solve the problem. B. Shouting to express maths anxiety. C. Acting like you know the answer. D. Copying answers from others secretly. 10. What can we do to reduce maths anxiety according to the experts? A. Avoid difficult maths tests. B. Voice our fears and try again. C. Start with simple maths problems. D. Forget it and move on to harder problems. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A. To prove maths is harder than geography. B. To blame teachers for causing math anxiety. C. To stress biological reasons for maths anxiety. D To explain maths anxiety and provide solutions. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了数学焦虑的现象，并介绍了其产生的原因和影响以及专家提出的应对方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. (研究将数学焦虑追溯到学校经历。焦虑的教师可能会无意间将自己的恐惧传递给学生。来自34个国家的数据揭示了惊人的数字：31%的青少年在解决问题时感到紧张，33%的青少年因家庭作业而压力大，近60%的青少年害怕复杂的课程)”可知，导致数学焦虑的因素包括焦虑的教师、作业压力和复杂课程，而“个人性格”在第二段中并未被提及，不属于导致学生数学焦虑的原因。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). (但事实上数学只有一个正确答案，没有bluffing的空间，这可能会让你更担心表现不佳)”并结合选项可知，此处指的是数学只有一个正确答案，没有“假装知道答案”或“蒙混过关”的空间，所以“bluffing”应表示“假装知道答案”或“蒙混”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. (数学焦虑的根源可能来自很多方面，但一些专家建议，表达我们的恐惧可以减轻它们对我们的控制，我们应该鼓励孩子把数学考试看作是一种挑战，而不是威胁，事实上，我们需要对数学抱有积极的态度，并给它第二次机会)”可知，根据专家的建议，表达我们的恐惧并再次尝试可以减轻数学焦虑。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章首先描述了数学焦虑的普遍性，接着探讨了数学焦虑的来源，如紧张的教师、作业压力和复杂的课程等，然后解释了为什么数学比其他学科更容易引起恐惧，最后提出了减轻数学焦虑的建议，如表达恐惧并积极尝试。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释数学焦虑并提供解决方案。故选D项。 D In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 12. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find related information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 13. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4? A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study. 14. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B. To show the importance of making mistakes. C. To stress the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 15. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出在数字时代，过度追求信息会阻碍目标的实现，倡导在学习和行动间取得平衡，通过行动和经验来达成目标。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. (考虑一个你渴望实现一个特定目标的情况。你首先要进行广泛的研究，深入研究这个主题。当你接受的信息越多，你的理解力反而越弱。每一个新的概念或策略都揭示出更深的层次，使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及)”可知，过多信息使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及，造成的困惑会阻止人们实现目标。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information.(这种情况是一个常见的陷阱：无休止地追求更多的信息)”和第四段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡。收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即使你觉得自己有点准备不足)”可知，作者在第三、四段倡导不要无休止地追求更多的信息，而是立即采取实际行动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.(这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解)”和第五段中“The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. (与婴儿学走路的比较就是一个很好的例子。婴儿不是通过坐着分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反，它通过尝试走路、摔倒，然后从每次摔倒中了解哪些方法可行，哪些不可行来学习。通过反复努力，最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于实现目标)”可知，提到“婴儿学走路”的例子是为了说明要通过行动和经验来学习。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡)”和最后一段“Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.(学习应该是行动的垫脚石，而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着我们的目标前进)”可知，本文主要论述了学习和行动要保持平衡。故A项“The Balance of Learning and Doing.(学习和实践的平衡)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A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。 Children are natural scientists. They ask big questions, notice tiny details, and learn best through hands-on exploration. ___16___ From growing seeds to using the sun’s energy, students don’t just learn science, they experience it. Here are my favorite go-to nature experiments that spark curiosity. Grow a bean in a cup ___17___ I typically use this activity to reinforce our botany (植物学) lessons on plant parts and the life cycle of a plant, giving students a concrete, visual way to connect what they’ve learned in class to real plant growth. To try this experiment yourself, you’ll need clear plastic cups, damp paper towels, and bean seeds. Students put the paper towels into their cups, followed by the seeds, and then the magic happens. ___18___ I encourage students to check on their seeds, using measuring tapes to track growth and sketching anything new they notice. While most students’ seeds will grow quickly, it is a good idea to have backup cups just in case, so that no students feel left out. Watch the water cycle in a bag When I taught fifth grade, one of the most eye-opening experiments we did during our weather unit was the water cycle in a bag. I used it to bring vocabulary like evaporation (蒸发) and condensation (冷凝) to life. ___19___ To set it up, you’ll need zip-top plastic bags, water, permanent markers, and a few drops of blue food coloring for a clear visual effect. Students start by drawing the sun, clouds, and a body of water on their bags with markers. Then they add water, seal the bags, and tape them to a sunny window. Over time, they watch water evaporate, condense, and “rain” inside the bag. I ask students to make daily observations using key vocabulary. ___20___ A. Within days, roots and shoots appear. B. Students start by tearing leaves into small pieces. C. For extra support, I model sentences or provide starters. D. That’s why nature experiments hold a significant place in my teaching. E. I use this experiment with my fourth and fifth graders during our lessons. F. This activity lets students see these processes happening right before their eyes. G. One of my favorite science experiments in fourth grade is growing beans in a cup. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是作者如何利用实践探索的方式让学生亲身体验和学习科学知识。 【16题详解】 前文“Children are natural scientists. They ask big questions, notice tiny details, and learn best through hands-on exploration.(儿童是自然科学家。他们会问大问题，注意小细节，通过动手探索学习效果最好。)”说明儿童不仅仅是学习科学，而是亲身体验科学。空后“Here are my favorite go-to nature experiments that spark curiosity.(以下是我最喜欢的自然实验，它们能激发好奇心。)”说明本文要介绍自然实验，空格处应该将“自然实验”这一概念提出来，D选项“That’s why nature experiments hold a significant place in my teaching.(这就是为什么自然实验在我的教学中占有重要的地位。)”起到了承上启下的作用，既解释了前面提到的实践探索学习方式，又引出了后文要介绍的自然实验，所以该选项正确。故选D。 【17题详解】 此空所在段落标题为“Grow a bean in a cup(在杯子里种豆子)”，需要一个句子来引出这个实验。G选项“One of my favorite science experiments in fourth grade is growing beans in a cup.(四年级时我最喜欢的科学实验之一是在杯子里种豆子。)”直接点明了实验内容，与段落标题相呼应，为后文详细介绍该实验做铺垫，所以符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“Students put the paper towels into their cups, followed by the seeds, and then the magic happens.(学生们把纸巾放进杯子里，然后是种子，然后奇迹发生了。)”描述了学生们把纸巾放进杯子，然后放入种子，然后奇迹发生了，A选项“Within days, roots and shoots appear.(几天之内，根和芽就长出来了。)”具体说明了“奇迹”是什么，即种子开始发芽长根，逻辑连贯，所以符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 空前“When I taught fifth grade, one of the most eye-opening experiments we did during our weather unit was the water cycle in a bag. I used it to bring vocabulary like evaporation (蒸发) and condensation (冷凝) to life.(当我教五年级时候，我们在气象单元做的一个最让人大开眼界的实验是袋子里的水循环。我用它把蒸发和冷凝这样的词汇带入生活。)”介绍了在五年级教天气单元时做过的这个实验，F选项“This activity lets students see these processes happening right before their eyes.(这个活动让学生看到这些过程就在他们眼前发生。)”说明了这个实验的作用，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“I ask students to make daily observations using key vocabulary.(我要求学生使用关键词汇进行日常观察。)”说明在实验中作者要求学生用关键词汇进行日常观察，C选项“For extra support, I model sentences or provide starters.(为了提供额外帮助，我会给出例句或提供句首引导词。)”说明了作者会提供例句或提供句首引导词，和前面的“用关键词汇进行日常观察”相一致，因此符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1990, Karen de Boer, a college freshman, felt thrilled when she got into her school’s well-known choir (合唱团) — a group set to tour China and Japan that year.

Clara looked up, with her eyes lighting up with that familiar eagerness Linda had come to both rely on and dislike. “I know! But maybe we could work on it together? My mom’s making pizzas tonight-you could stay over.” Linda hesitated. The truth was she’d already promised her cousin to go shopping, but the thought of disappointing Clara made her feel guilty. “Oh, I can’t,” she lied. “I have to look after my little brother. He’s got a fever.” Clara’s forehead creased (皱眉), “Oh no! Is he okay? Do you need me to bring over soup or something? My grandma is good at making chicken soup.” “No, he’ll be fine,” Linda replied, hurrying toward the exit. She didn’t miss the way Clara’s smile gradually disappeared as she walked away. It wasn’t the first time. Last month, when Clara had tearfully expressed she was struggling with her parents’ breaking up, Linda had nodded along without really paying attention, checking her phone for texts from the popular crowd. When Clara had noticed and asked if something was wrong, Linda had lied her battery was dying-even though she’d just charged it that morning. Today, as Linda went shopping with her cousin, her phone made a noise. It was a message from Clara. “Hey, I just wanted to say I made more soup than needed. Tell me if you want me to bring some over.” Nervous and guilty, Linda typed, “Thanks, but my dad already got food to take home. Maybe another time?” Then she turned off her phone and forced a laugh as her cousin held up a fashionable sweater. At night, Linda thought about the empty soup pot in Clara’s kitchen. She’d always brushed off Clara’s kindness with half-hearted lies. A heavy feeling settled in her chest. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At dawn she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara. The lies felt like weights in her stomach-each one like a sharp reminder of how she’d taken Clara’s kindness for granted. What if Clara refused to forgive her? The thought of losing the only person who’d always been there, even when Linda was too busy chasing popularity to notice Clara’s kindness, made her chest achy. But she knew she couldn’t keep hiding behind half-truths. Clara deserved honesty, even if she might be hurt. At dawn, she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking. When Clara opened the door, her eyes were soft. Linda’s throat tightened. “I’m sorry,” she whispered with her voice breaking. “About the essay, about your mom…about everything. I lied because I was scared of disappointing you, but I only made it worse.” Clara stepped aside, silent. She said finally, “I’m just glad you told me the truth. That’s all that matters.” Upon hearing the words, Linda hugged Clara with tears blurring the view. Suddenly, she came to realize that some lies fade away but honesty can deepen their friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“诚实与友谊”为核心线索展开，讲述了Linda多次用谎言敷衍好友Clara的善意，在内心饱受愧疚折磨后，最终选择主动道歉、坦诚内心，进而领悟到“诚实能深化友谊” 的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Linda不知是否该道歉。”可知，第一段描写Linda内心挣扎。 ②由第二段首句内容“黎明时，Linda朝着Clara家的方向走去，双手颤抖。”可知，第二段描写Linda主动道歉，二人重归旧好。 2. 续写线索：内心愧疚——挣扎犹豫——下定决心——主动道歉——好友原谅——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类： 道歉：apologize/make an apology 隐瞒：hide behind/cover up 拥抱：hug/embrace/hold in arms 情绪类： 愧疚：guilty/ashamed 紧张：nervous/tense/with hands shaking 欣慰：glad/relieved/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】The lies felt like weights in her stomach-each one like a sharp reminder of how she’d taken Clara’s kindness for granted. (运用了how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Upon hearing the words, Linda hugged Clara with tears blurring the view.  (运用了upon+动名词及with复合结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
