I’m writing to ask for your help with our class activity “Classic English Poems Sharing”, which will be held next week. I’ve met some difficulties while preparing for it. I'm really excited about it but have met some problems. I find it difficult to choose a suitable poem — one that is meaningful but not too hard. Also, I often struggle with the rhythm and pronunciation when practicing, which makes my recitation sound unnatural. I would be very grateful if you could recommend some classic poems and give me some tips on how to recite them well. Thank you for your time and support. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第2节 读后续写 （25分）  His words inspired me, something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life. Instead of letting the stress consume me, I’ve started looking for ways to manage the study pressure more effectively. The day of the exam came. I tried to calm down and focused on the test, but my hands were shaking. I recalled my teacher’s expectant eyes. I became even more determined to succeed. I answered the questions as best as I could. Finally, the exam ended, and I walked out of the classroom, with a sense of relief. Next week, I anxiously checked my score on the paper . My eyes widened in disbelief, I had received an A! I could hardly contain my excitement so I couldn’t wait to find Mr. Johnson waving my paper. I stepped forward and gave him a big hug, a wave of satisfaction and pride flooding over him. I saw Mr. Johnson wearing a smile with thumbs up, which made me more confident. I knew that it was my teacher’s encouragement and trust that paved the way for making such great progress! The golden sunlight poured into the office, like Mr. Johnson lighting up my life as well as the path to pursue my dream. 听力原文 (Text 1) M: Could you get me some apple juice from the store?

If you don’t want to carry your coats and bags around with you, there is a coatroom behind the reception. Also, does anyone want to use the bathroom? There’s one here in the reception hall, opposite the ticket office. OK, let’s begin our tour. The bath you can see from here is called the Great Bath, not very imaginative, but it is the biggest. The bath itself is 1.6 meters deep, ideal for bathing, and has steps leading down to the water on all sides. Let’s move on to the spring. This is in the heart of the site where the hot water comes from the ground at a temperature of 46℃. The water is rich in minerals and it’s said that it would cure various illnesses. Next, we will pass through the site of the temple. Here, we are. This temple is one of the only two known classical Roman temples in Britain. The other is the temple of Claudius at Colchester. This temple is said to have been built for centuries, and over time, due to serious damage caused by human activities, what you can see here are just bits of the original temple.

B Lisa has several fat family members, so she always believed she was sure to be fat. As a mother of three children from Rapid City, South Dakota, Lisa was already over 200 pounds when she started having children, but six months later her weight brought her up to 304 pounds. After having her second child, she knew she wanted to make a change. Some of Lisa's family members had chosen to receive weight loss surgery, but had all ended up getting their weight back. So she decided to choose a different way. Lisa knew she had never kept exercising in the past because she would get bored when she repeated the same actions. When she started following Jillian's fitness plan, she finally found a fitness program that she could stick to. “Jillian's fitness plan is always fun and I look forward to doing it,” she says.“Right when I would be getting the hang of one action, another would come out, so I never get bored.” Over the years she has also realized that there are a lot of intensity levels to most actions, so no matter what weight she was at, she could work out well.

Lisa now focuses on eating healthy food as much as possible, and follows the 80/20 rule when it comes to eating. “I stiIl need my treats once in a while!” she says. Losing 145 pounds has brought Lisa a new attitude and she hopes to get great success in her business. “ The best part of losing weight is to get the confidence to really live my life and try new things.” she says. “ I won't let my body hold me back anymore while I have realized my dream.” 24.

C When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 28. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. C. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 29. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. B. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 30. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. C. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Negative. D When the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was first announced decades ago, it was a project that many thought “impossible”. Spanning over 2,000 kilometers, the railway has made eight world records. Construction began in 1958 and was completed decades later in 2006, using innovative engineering concepts. Known as one of China's greatest engineering projects of the 21st century, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway sets the record for having the longest track running through frozen areas. More than 550 kilometers of the railway was built on permafrost, a mixture of soil and ice that remains frozen for at least two years. Since water expands in winter and contracts in summer, it threatens roadbed stability-the foundation for railroad tracks. By graveling embankments and installing vent-pipes underneath the roadbed to provide thermal stability (热稳定性) for the permafrost, Chinese engineers successfully solved the problem. On a few stretch, the high-speed trains run on elevated rails (高架轨道). Tracks were laid on a bridge, with piers (桥墩) placed underground. It avoids direct contact between tracks and the permafrost. At an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters, Fenghuoshan Tunnel is the world's highest tunnel built on permafrost. It was the most challenging part of the project during the construction of the Qinghai- Tibet Railway. Roughly 85 percent of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is over 4,000 meters above sea level. The lack of oxygen posed another challenge. Workers carried oxygen tanks weighing 10 kilograms while completing the construction. Over 110 medical facilities were constructed along the railway with more than 600 medical staff to take care of the workers. Protecting the fragile ecosystem was also a key concern for the engineers. The railway runs through Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve and several other nature reserves, where many rare plants and animals live, including the endangered Tibetan antelope (藏羚羊). A total of 33 passageways were built along the railway for wildlife to safely cross. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has boosted the economic and social development of Qinghai Province and the Tibet Autonomous Region and made traveling more convenient across the nation. Its construction showcases China's perseverance.  32. What significant engineering challenge did the Qinghai-Tibet Railway overcome? A. Building the longest bridge in the world. B. Creating the deepest underwater tunnel. C. Constructing tracks through permafrost. D. Designing the highest railway station globally. 33. How did the engineers deal with the challenge of permafrost affecting roadbed stability? A. By using reinforced concrete. B. By heating the ground beneath the tracks. C. By laying tracks on a bridge without direct contact. D. By graveling embankments and installing vent-pipes. 34. What can be inferred about the working conditions during the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway? A. There was an abundance of oxygen in the air. B. The construction site was easily accessible by road. C. Workers faced extreme altitude and low oxygen. D. The railway was built entirely by automated machinery. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Qinghai-Tibet Railway: World's Longest Railway B. Qinghai-Tibet Railway: An Engineering Wonder C. Qinghai-Tibet Railway: Negative Ecological Impact D. Qinghai-Tibet Railway: Fastest Trains Globally 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’s natural for people to compare themselves with their peers (同龄人). Peer pressure is a problem that nearly everyone has faced at some point. If it’s not well handled, there might be some harmful results. 36 Below are tips on how to deal with peer pressure and avoid making difficult decisions that may cause unpleasant outcomes. Find positive influence At any age, it’s beneficial to stay involved with after-school activities like sports, music, art, or other hobbies. Team building activities can help increase self-confidence and create a support system that allows an individual to succeed. What’s more, enjoying hobbies and other harmless spare-time activities like exercising can release feel-good hormones (激素). 37 Plan ahead Experiencing peer pressure, especially when in an unfriendly environment, can cause a person to panic and make impulsive decisions. 38 Think of different situations that start discomfort and think about how to deal with peer pressure. It’s OK to give excuses to avoid making decisions that you may feel are not right for you. 39 Positive influences, usually parents or family members, can teach you how to deal with peer pressure directly. Having a trusted friend, family member, or another resource to call on can relieve some of the everyday life stresses. They can be there to give advice or just support the decisions you’ve made that you feel are right for you. Convey feelings and emotions Honesty goes a long way in reducing the harmful effects of peer pressure. Speak to the person or group of people who may be causing feelings of unease or uncertainty and kindly ask them to stop. 40 A. Talk to a trusted resource. B. Don’t be afraid to find new groups. C. Therefore, it’s important to know how to deal with it. D. Unluckily, peer pressure is difficult to avoid. E. It’s OK to stay away from those who don’t have positive effect on you. F. So, it’s best to have a plan that can help work out an answer. G. They can help reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. 第三部分 语言应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I drove to visit my sister Mandi, 50, with serious cancer.

I had always been a hardworking and dedicated student, but in my final year, the workload seemed unbearable. No matter how much effort I put into my studies, I couldn’t seem to keep up. As the mid-term exams approached, I felt a sense of dread. I had spent countless hours studying, but with so many subjects to cover, I was overwhelmed. The fear of failure consumed me, and I began to doubt myself. One day after school, I found myself walking alongside my teacher, Mr. Johnson, on the empty playground. He could tell that something was bothering me, and he asked if everything was alright. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to share my struggles. But there was something in his kind eyes and considerate smile that made me open up. I poured out my frustrations, explaining how hard I had been working and how little progress I was making. Tears welled up in my eyes as I admitted that I was afraid of failing the exams. To my surprise, Mr.Johnson didn’t offer words of sympathy or pity. Instead, he shared his own experiences as a high school student and the challenges he faced during his final year. He told me about the countless nights he had spent studying, the moments of self-doubt, and the overwhelming pressure. But he also spoke about the importance of perseverance, no matter how difficult things may seem. He assured me that success wasn’t just about getting good grades but about learning from our failures, last but not least, the qualities we formed in the process. His words inspired me, something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life.__________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next week, I anxiously checked my score on the paper._____________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高2025级英语试题 第7页 共8页 高2025级英语试题 第8页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
