For the past few years, I’ve had a tough time learning the subject, while my classmate, whom I’ve known since I was a kid, was a Latin prodigy (天才), mastering every sentence that was thrown at her. But, I had one thing over her: I had Chemistry. While she mastered her grammar, I mastered my gases. While she was busy writing, I was doing experiments. However, one week we had a Latin test and I was not at all prepared for it. Fearing that I would fail the class, my parents told me to go to my classmate for help. I went to her house and sat down with her, ready for her to make fun of me. But what I found was a patient teacher, one who wanted to help me do better and honestly didn’t care at all about the gap (差距) in our knowledge. After just a period of hard work and studying my confidence had already increased. I did better in Latin, and my grade improved, but my friend still faced challenges in Chemistry. Now that I knew how far a little help could go, I offered to help her with some of the knowledge points that she didn’t understand. From that point on, our tutoring sessions (辅导课程) became more favorable to both sides. She would help me with Latin, and I’d help her with Chemistry. From this I was also able to realize how good tutoring was for the tutors themselves, a job I used to think was only good for the person learning. Once I started tutoring her, I started to think about my chemistry work differently, not just how to solve the problems but why they worked and how to explain the reasoning behind them. So next time you’re struggling in school with a certain subject, instead of reading the textbook over and over, looking online or just worrying, ask your classmates how they understand the material. 1. What problem did the author have? A. She had difficulty in learning Latin. B. She couldn’t get along with her classmates. C. She wasn’t interested in learning languages. D. She failed to balance her time for all subjects. 2. Why did the author go to her classmate? A. She wanted to instruct her classmate in Chemistry. B. She wanted to make up with her classmate. C. She wanted to get away from her parents. D She wanted to get help for a coming test. 3. What does the underlined word “favorable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Normal. B. Boring. C. Advantageous. D. Difficult. 4. How does the author think tutoring influences the tutors? A. It helps them make more friends. B. It improves their problem-solving skills. C. It offers them chances to explore a new job. D. It encourages them to think deeply about the problems. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者拉丁语学习困难，在同学帮助下进步，随后互帮同学化学，从中发现辅导对双方有益，尤其能深化辅导者对知识的理解。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But Latin is not one of them. For the past few years, I’ve had a tough time learning the subject.(但拉丁语不在其中。过去几年，我学习这门学科一直很困难。)”可知，作者面临的问题是学习拉丁语有困难。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, one week we had a Latin test and I was not at all prepared for it. Fearing that I would fail the class, my parents told me to go to my classmate for help.(然而，有一周我们要进行拉丁语考试，我完全没有准备。由于担心考试不及格，父母让我去找那位同学帮忙。)”可知，作者去找同学是为了即将到来的考试寻求帮助。故选D项。 【3题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线单词后的“She would help me with Latin, and I’d help her with Chemistry.(她会帮我学拉丁语，我会帮她学化学。)”可知，这种互相辅导的模式对双方都有好处，因此“favorable”意为“有利的”，与“Advantageous”意思相近。故选C项。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Once I started tutoring her, I started to think about my chemistry work differently, not just how to solve the problems but why they worked and how to explain the reasoning behind them.(一旦我开始辅导她，我就开始以不同的方式思考我的化学作业，不仅思考如何解决问题，还思考问题为什么会这样，以及如何解释背后的逻辑。)”可知，作者认为辅导能促使辅导者深入思考问题。故选D项。 B Many of the forests growing in the eastern US now didn’t exist (存在) two centuries ago. In the late 18th century, Europeans started clearing the region’s trees for farmland. About a century later, in many forests that had existed for thousands of years, only 10% of the trees remained. Land clearing finally slowed by the early 1900s, partly because most forests had been cleared. Then people left farmland for cities, giving trees a chance to regrow. That, along with purposeful planting, allowed millions of acres of forests to recover during the 20th century. At the same time, fossil fuel (化石燃料) burning began increasing temperatures around the US, but several eastern states have stayed relatively cool. There are some opinions about why this area of cooler temperatures, called a“warming hole”, exists: agricultural irrigation (农业灌溉), for example, can hold down temperatures. But ecologist Novick wanted to know whether the reforestation (重新造林) might have played a role. Novick’s team measured air temperatures, which could help decide whether there was a cooling benefit. Because air moves, cooler air can flow out from the forest. The researchers found that by the end of the 20th century, air temperatures on the hottest days were up to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in reforested areas. Forests lower temperatures in a way similar to sweating. When tree leaves give out water vapor, it cools the air in forests. The researchers say reforestation isn’t totally responsible for the warming hole, but the study shows it could partially explain it. The results don’t mean trees should be planted anywhere, however. In northern forests that have snow for much of the year, for example, adding extra trees can make the temperature higher. Being darker than snow, tree cover reduces the sunlight sent back into space. Besides, benefits would likely only come with proper reforestation. Planting forests where none grew before could harm the environment. While the eastern forests have cooling effects, experts say reforestation can’t solve the climate (气候) problem; only reducing fossil fuel burning can do that. But encouraging reforestation could help some humans and areas stay cooler. 5. What happened to the forests in the eastern US in history? A. They started to regrow over two centuries ago. B. Lots of them were destroyed by the early 1900s. C. They were completely cut down by the late 1800s. D. Many of them became farmland before the 18th century. 6. What was the discovery by the researchers? A. Lower air temperatures in the forests. B. Continuous flow of air from the forests. C. Low surface temperatures of the tree leaves. D. Large amount of water in the air from the forests. 7. Why does the author mention the northern forests? A. To explain the effect of burning fuels. B. To show the importance of choosing planting spots. C. To describe the meaning of real reforestation. D. To compare the features of different types of forests. 8. What is the best title for the text? A. Avoid the heat by hiding in forests B. Regrowing trees helps fight climate change C. Reforestation keeps the eastern US cooler D. A warming hole was found in reforested areas 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. B 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国东部的森林在历史上遭受破坏后重新生长，研究发现重新造林对降低当地气温有积极作用，但重新造林也需因地制宜，且不能完全解决气候问题。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many of the forests growing in the eastern US now didn’t exist (存在) two centuries ago. In the late 18th century, Europeans started clearing the region’s trees for farmland. About a century later, in many forests that had existed for thousands of years, only 10% of the trees remained. Land clearing finally slowed by the early 1900s, partly because most forests had been cleared.(如今美国东部的许多森林在两个世纪前尚不存在。18世纪末，欧洲殖民者开始砍伐该地区的树木开垦农田。约百年后，许多存在了数千年的原始森林仅剩10%的树木。到20世纪初，土地开垦终于放缓——部分原因在于可砍伐的森林已所剩无几)”可知，到20世纪初，美国东部的许多森林已经被砍伐，被破坏。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers found that by the end of the 20th century, air temperatures on the hottest days were up to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in reforested areas.(研究人员发现，到20世纪末，重新造林地区在最热的日子里，气温要低1.8华氏度)”可知，研究人员发现重新造林地区的气温较低。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The results don’t mean trees should be planted anywhere, however. In northern forests that have snow for much of the year, for example, adding extra trees can make the temperature higher. Being darker than snow, tree cover reduces the sunlight sent back into space. Besides, benefits would likely only come with proper reforestation. Planting forests where none grew before could harm the environment.(然而，这些结果并不意味着树木可以在任何地方种植。例如，在一年中大部分时间都有雪的北方森林中，增加额外的树木会使气温升高。树冠比雪更暗，减少了反射回太空的阳光。此外，只有适当的重新造林才能带来好处。在以前没有森林的地方植树造林可能会破坏环境)”可知，作者提到北方森林是为了说明不是所有地方都适合植树造林，强调选择植树地点的重要性。故选B项。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“At the same time, fossil fuel (化石燃料) burning began increasing temperatures around the US, but several eastern states have stayed relatively cool. There are some opinions about why this area of cooler temperatures, called a “warming hole”, exists:  agricultural irrigation (农业灌溉), for example, can hold down temperatures. But ecologist Novick wanted to know whether the reforestation (重新造林) might have played a role.(与此同时，化石燃料燃烧使美国大部分地区气温上升，但东部多州却保持相对凉爽。关于这片被称为“变暖空洞”低温区成因存在多种解释：例如农业灌溉可抑制气温上升。但生态学家诺维克希望探究重新造林是否发挥了作用)”、第三段中“The researchers found that by the end of the 20th century, air temperatures on the hottest days were up to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in reforested areas. Forests lower temperatures in a way similar to sweating. When tree leaves give out water vapor, it cools the air in forests. The researchers say reforestation isn’t totally responsible for the warming hole, but the study shows it could partially explain it.(研究人员发现，到20世纪末，重新造林区域在最炎热时段的最高气温比周边低1.8华氏度。森林通过类似人体排汗的方式降温——当树叶释放水蒸气时，会降低林间空气温度。研究人员指出重新造林并非“变暖空洞”的唯一成因，但研究证实其具有重要影响)”和最后一段中“But encouraging reforestation could help some humans and areas stay cooler.(不过推动科学造林确实有助于为特定区域的人类与生态系统创造更凉爽的环境)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究发现重新造林对降低美国东部多州气温有积极作用，故C项“Reforestation keeps the eastern US cooler(重新造林使美国东部保持凉爽)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C There’s an old saying that laughter is the best medicine. A new study from Germany finds that this is true, especially for the health of medical assistants (助理) (MAs). MAs play an important role in healthcare, often being the first point of contact for patients, yet they face various tasks, low job control and relatively low earnings. These factors can lead to stress and burnout, making it necessary to find ways to help them deal with stressful situations better. Thus, the researchers surveyed over 600 MAs across Germany. They used a questionnaire (问卷) that rated eight different humor styles. MAs also answered questions about their job satisfaction, work involvement, self-efficacy (自我效能) and whether they were in leadership roles. Interestingly, the researchers also did a separate study (独立研究) on MAs working specifically in general medicine. They find that different types of humor work better in different situations. And in general medicine, where doctors often see the same patients over many years, a gentle, satirical (讽刺的) humor that kindly points out unhealthy behaviors seems to work well. This style helps build stronger relationships with regular patients, making them more willing to accept health advice. However, the study warns against using satirical remarks too much, as it can lead to emotional distance from work and reduced drive in the long run. This study is pioneering because it’s one of the first to use the detailed humor style model in a workplace setting, especially in healthcare. The researchers suggest that training programs for MAs could teach them to use friendly humor and stay away from satirical remarks. Over time, this could create a positive cycle: better humor leads to better well-being, which in turn helps maintain that positive humor style, even during hard times. “Knowing about the effects of humor and different styles can help make conversations with patients more pleasant. That said, waiting rooms are not supposed to become comedy (喜剧) clubs. It’s more about using humor carefully and properly,” concludes Professor René Proyer, a psychologist. 9. What does the study focus on? A. The role of humor in medical treatment. B. The effect of humor on MAs’ well-being. C. The benefit of humor to medical training programs. D. The impact of humor on medical leadership roles. 10. What is the researchers’ purpose in conducting a separate study? A. To highlight context-specific findings. B. To make up for the limitations of questionnaires. C. To compare humor styles across different medical fields. D. To determine the most popular humor style among MAs. 11. Why is the study significant in the context of healthcare? A. It provides new insights into patient treatment. B. It seems the first-ever research conducted in the field. C. It stresses the importance of humor in medical training. D. It offers a new way to improve MAs’ working experience. 12. What is René Proyer’s suggestion for humor usage? A. Turn waiting rooms into comedy clubs. B. Rely on gentle humor for health advice. C. Practice using humor thoughtfully. D. Have humorous conversations with patients. 【答案】9. B 10. A 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于幽默对医疗助理福祉影响的研究，研究发现不同类型的幽默在不同情境下效果不同，建议医疗助理接受友好幽默的培训，避免讽刺性言论，以创造积极的工作环境。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study from Germany finds that this is true, especially for the health of medical assistants (助理) (MAs).(德国的一项新研究发现，这一点尤其适用于医疗助理（MAs）的健康。)”可知，这项研究的重点是幽默对医疗助理福祉的影响。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“And in general medicine, where doctors often see the same patients over many years, a gentle, satirical (讽刺的) humor that kindly points out unhealthy behaviors seems to work well.(在全科医学中，医生经常在多年里看到同样的病人，一种温和的、讽刺的幽默，友好地指出不健康的行为，似乎效果很好。)”可知，研究人员进行独立研究的目的是强调特定情境下的发现。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The researchers suggest that training programs for MAs could teach them to use friendly humor and stay away from satirical remarks. Over time, this could create a positive cycle: better humor leads to better well-being, which in turn helps maintain that positive humor style, even during hard times.(研究人员建议，医疗助理的培训项目可以教他们使用友好的幽默，避免讽刺性言论。随着时间的推移，这可以创造一个积极的循环：更好的幽默带来更好的福祉，这反过来有助于在困难时期保持那种积极的幽默风格。)”可知，这项研究在医疗背景下具有重要意义是因为它提供了一种改善医疗助理工作体验的新方法。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s more about using humor carefully and properly.(更多的是要谨慎和恰当地使用幽默。)”可知，René Proyer对幽默使用的建议是深思熟虑地使用幽默。故选C。 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。 Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift a mood or improve a relationship. ____13____ So are there any rules to follow? Read on for 4 must-know tips. Don’t add a small gift to a big gift. Want to add a tie to an expensive shirt? Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand wine? Don’t. When we receive several gifts together, we tend to average out their value. ____14____ Gift experiences rather than things. A new smartphone becomes old fast. ____15____ Often more thought has gone into experiences, and they create more vivid memories. That is why you should consider an experience over a physical object while gifting. Gift cards are not bad. Gift giving can be wasteful. We only spend $10 on ourselves if we find something that we expect is worth more than $10 to us. But gift is different, because we’ re not buying for ourselves. So we can spend $10 on something that’s worth less than $10 to the receiver. ____16____ Gift cards have become much more popular over time. And they’ re also very popular with receivers—a better option than a rushed or poorly chosen gift that goes straight to the garbage can. ____17____ Let’s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we’d like. People tend to use gifts to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility(实用)or happiness to the receiver. The best way to get it right is to simply ask the question—“What would you like?” A. Think like the receiver. B. It could even be worth nothing to them. C. Use gifts to signal something about yourself. D. But having the same experience strengthens bonds. E. Therefore, small gift added to a big one will hurt the big one’s impact. F. But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist will give you memories that last forever. G. Whatever the situation, gift giving requires careful thought and consideration. 【答案】13. G 14. E 15. F 16. B 17. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四条送礼的必备技巧，包括不叠加小礼物、送体验而非实物等，帮助人们送出合适且有意义的礼物。 【13题详解】 根据前文“Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift a mood or improve a relationship.(送礼是一门艺术。一份完美的礼物能改善心情或增进感情。)”和后文“So are there any rules to follow? Read on for 4 must-know tips.(那么有什么需要遵循的规则吗？继续阅读以下4个必备技巧。)”可知，空格处应强调送礼需要用心，引出下文的技巧，G选项“Whatever the situation, gift giving requires careful thought and consideration.(无论何种情况，送礼都需要仔细思考和斟酌。)”承接前文“送礼是艺术”的定位，说明其复杂性，进而引出“遵循规则”的需求，符合语境。故选G项。 【14题详解】 根据本段小标题“Don’t add a small gift to a big gift.(不要在大礼上叠加小礼物。)”和前文“When we receive several gifts together, we tend to average out their value.(当我们同时收到多份礼物时，往往会平均它们的价值。)”可知，空格处应说明叠加礼物的负面影响，E选项“Therefore, small gift added to a big one will hurt the big one’s impact.(因此，在大礼上叠加小礼物会削弱大礼的影响力。)”中的“Therefore”承接前文“平均价值”的原理，解释了“不叠加礼物”的原因，符合语境。故选E项。 【15题详解】 根据本段小标题“Gift experiences rather than things.(送体验而非实物。)”和前文“A new smartphone becomes old fast.(一部新智能手机很快就会过时。)”可知，空格处应对比实物的短暂与体验的长久，F选项“But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist will give you memories that last forever.(但一场梦想中的旅行或观看你最喜欢的艺术家演出，会给你留下永恒的回忆。)”中的“But”形成转折，用具体体验例子呼应小标题，与前文“手机过时”形成对比，符合语境。故选F项。 【16题详解】 根据前文“So we can spend $10 on something that’s worth less than $10 to the receiver.(所以我们可能花10美元买了对接收者来说价值不到10美元的东西。)”可知，空格处应进一步说明礼物可能毫无价值，B选项“It could even be worth nothing to them.(对他们来说，它甚至可能一文不值。)”中的“even”递进前文“价值不足”，强调送礼不当的浪费，呼应本段“送礼可能浪费”的开头，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Let’s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we’d like.(简单来说：买接收者会为自己买的东西。这似乎显而易见，但实际发生的情况远比我们希望的少。)”可知，本段核心是站在接收者的角度思考，A选项“Think like the receiver.(换位思考，站在接收者的角度。)”作为本段小标题，概括了后文“买接收者自购物品”的核心建议，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分：语言运用(共三节，满分37. 5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。 One hot June day, we were driving back after a visit to a scenic spot when our car came to a stop suddenly.

How could I have never noticed? Every Christmas my mother enjoyed creating special memories and traditions for her family. Mom loved Christmas- the shopping, cooking, decorating, music, gifts even the hustle and bustle (拥挤喧器) the season brings. Her enthusiasm encouraged my brother, sister, and me to experience the joy and wonder of the season. Although we could receive various gifts, we were taught that the real reason for the season was to celebrate the getting together of the whole family. Many years have passed since I was a child. Yet I can still smell the aroma (香味) of Mom’s sugar cookies as she prepared a special treat for her family. These sweets were a sure sign that Christmas Day was near. On Christmas Eve my mother laid all our stockings under the beautifully decorated pine tree my father had picked out and cut down in the forest. Later, in the middle of the night, she secretly filled the stockings. The next morning we excitedly opened our gifts, leaving our Christmas stockings for last.Our stockings were always full of tiny toys, trinkets, nuts, oranges,apples, and colorful hard candies in various shapes and sizes In my twenties, I went Christmas shopping with a friend. She began looking for a small gift to place in her mother’s stocking. “You fix a Christmas stocking for your mother?” I asked. “Yes,” she replied. “Every year I fill a stocking with little treats and have it waiting for her on Christmas morning. I couldn’t bear for my mother to not have a Christmas stocking, especially since she prepares one for everyone else. That’s when I felt my face turn red with embarrassment. I realized my mother had not had a Christmas stocking for as long as I remembered. And, even worse, no one had noticed her stocking was missing. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 My sister and I were determined to start a tradition of our own that year. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at the stocking, my mother’s eyes filled with tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My sister and I were determined to start a tradition of our own that year. We secretly planned to fill a Christmas stocking for our mother, just like she did for us every year. We carefully selected small gifts that we knew she would love, such as a cozy blanket and some handwritten notes expressing our love and gratitude. We also added some of her favorite snacks, like nuts and dried fruits, to fill the stocking to the brim. The night before Christmas, we quietly placed the stocking under the tree, waiting to see her reaction in the morning. Looking at the stocking, my mother’s eyes filled with tears. What we did that Christmas morning made her realize how much we appreciated all her efforts and love throughout the years. She hugged us tightly, saying that this was the best Christmas gift she had ever received. Over time, our tradition of filling a stocking for our mother continued, and it became a cherished part of our family’s Christmas celebrations. What started as a simple act of love has now become a lasting memory that we all treasure deeply. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者意识到母亲多年来一直为家人准备圣诞袜，自己却从未为母亲准备过，于是和姐姐决定为母亲也准备圣诞袜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那年，我和姐姐决心开创我们自己的传统。”可知，第一段可描写作者和姐姐秘密策划为母亲准备圣诞袜，以及准备过程中的用心和期待。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着长筒袜，妈妈的眼里充满了泪水。”可知，第二段可描写母亲看到圣诞袜后的感动，以及这个新传统给家庭带来的温馨和持久影响。 2.续写线索：决定准备圣诞袜——秘密策划——精心挑选礼物——放置圣诞袜——母亲感动——新传统形成 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①仔细挑选：select carefully/choose with care ②意识到：realize/be aware ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②珍爱的：cherished/precious 【点睛】【高分句型1】 We carefully selected small gifts that we knew she would love, such as a cozy blanket and some handwritten notes expressing our love and gratitude. （运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】What we did that Christmas morning made her realize how much we appreciated all her efforts and love throughout the years.（运用了what引导主语从句，how much引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省泰州中学2025~2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高一英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟;总分：150分) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

For the past few years, I’ve had a tough time learning the subject, while my classmate, whom I’ve known since I was a kid, was a Latin prodigy (天才), mastering every sentence that was thrown at her. But, I had one thing over her: I had Chemistry. While she mastered her grammar, I mastered my gases. While she was busy writing, I was doing experiments. However, one week we had a Latin test and I was not at all prepared for it. Fearing that I would fail the class, my parents told me to go to my classmate for help. I went to her house and sat down with her, ready for her to make fun of me. But what I found was a patient teacher, one who wanted to help me do better and honestly didn’t care at all about the gap (差距) in our knowledge. After just a period of hard work and studying my confidence had already increased. I did better in Latin, and my grade improved, but my friend still faced challenges in Chemistry. Now that I knew how far a little help could go, I offered to help her with some of the knowledge points that she didn’t understand. From that point on, our tutoring sessions (辅导课程) became more favorable to both sides. She would help me with Latin, and I’d help her with Chemistry. From this I was also able to realize how good tutoring was for the tutors themselves a job I used to think was only good for the person learning. Once I started tutoring her, I started to think about my chemistry work differently, not just how to solve the problems but why they worked and how to explain the reasoning behind them. So next time you’re struggling in school with a certain subject, instead of reading the textbook over and over, looking online or just worrying, ask your classmates how they understand the material. 1. What problem did the author have? A. She had difficulty in learning Latin. B. She couldn’t get along with her classmates. C. She wasn’t interested in learning languages. D. She failed to balance her time for all subjects. 2. Why did the author go to her classmate? A. She wanted to instruct her classmate in Chemistry. B. She wanted to make up with her classmate. C. She wanted to get away from her parents. D. She wanted to get help for a coming test. 3. What does the underlined word “favorable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Normal. B. Boring. C. Advantageous. D. Difficult. 4. How does the author think tutoring influences the tutors? A. It helps them make more friends. B. It improves their problem-solving skills. C. It offers them chances to explore a new job. D. It encourages them to think deeply about the problems. B Many of the forests growing in the eastern US now didn’t exist (存在) two centuries ago. In the late 18th century, Europeans started clearing the region’s trees for farmland. About a century later, in many forests that had existed for thousands of years, only 10% of the trees remained. Land clearing finally slowed by the early 1900s, partly because most forests had been cleared. Then people left farmland for cities, giving trees a chance to regrow. That, along with purposeful planting, allowed millions of acres of forests to recover during the 20th century. At the same time, fossil fuel (化石燃料) burning began increasing temperatures around the US, but several eastern states have stayed relatively cool. There are some opinions about why this area of cooler temperatures, called a“warming hole”, exists: agricultural irrigation (农业灌溉), for example, can hold down temperatures. But ecologist Novick wanted to know whether the reforestation (重新造林) might have played a role. Novick’s team measured air temperatures, which could help decide whether there was a cooling benefit. Because air moves, cooler air can flow out from the forest. The researchers found that by the end of the 20th century, air temperatures on the hottest days were up to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in reforested areas. Forests lower temperatures in a way similar to sweating. When tree leaves give out water vapor, it cools the air in forests. The researchers say reforestation isn’t totally responsible for the warming hole, but the study shows it could partially explain it. The results don’t mean trees should be planted anywhere, however. In northern forests that have snow for much of the year, for example, adding extra trees can make the temperature higher. Being darker than snow, tree cover reduces the sunlight sent back into space. Besides, benefits would likely only come with proper reforestation. Planting forests where none grew before could harm the environment. While the eastern forests have cooling effects, experts say reforestation can’t solve the climate (气候) problem; only reducing fossil fuel burning can do that. But encouraging reforestation could help some humans and areas stay cooler. 5. What happened to the forests in the eastern US in history? A. They started to regrow over two centuries ago. B. Lots of them were destroyed by the early 1900s. C. They were completely cut down by the late 1800s. D. Many of them became farmland before the 18th century. 6. What was the discovery by the researchers? A. Lower air temperatures in the forests. B. Continuous flow of air from the forests. C. Low surface temperatures of the tree leaves. D. Large amount of water in the air from the forests. 7. Why does the author mention the northern forests? A. To explain the effect of burning fuels. B. To show the importance of choosing planting spots. C. To describe the meaning of real reforestation. D. To compare the features of different types of forests. 8. What is the best title for the text? A. Avoid the heat by hiding in forests B. Regrowing trees helps fight climate change C. Reforestation keeps the eastern US cooler D. A warming hole was found in reforested areas C There’s an old saying that laughter is the best medicine. A new study from Germany finds that this is true, especially for the health of medical assistants (助理) (MAs). MAs play an important role in healthcare, often being the first point of contact for patients, yet they face various tasks, low job control and relatively low earnings. These factors can lead to stress and burnout, making it necessary to find ways to help them deal with stressful situations better. Thus, the researchers surveyed over 600 MAs across Germany. They used a questionnaire (问卷) that rated eight different humor styles. MAs also answered questions about their job satisfaction, work involvement, self-efficacy (自我效能) and whether they were in leadership roles. Interestingly, the researchers also did a separate study (独立研究) on MAs working specifically in general medicine. They find that different types of humor work better in different situations. And in general medicine, where doctors often see the same patients over many years, a gentle, satirical (讽刺的) humor that kindly points out unhealthy behaviors seems to work well. This style helps build stronger relationships with regular patients, making them more willing to accept health advice. However, the study warns against using satirical remarks too much, as it can lead to emotional distance from work and reduced drive in the long run. This study is pioneering because it’s one of the first to use the detailed humor style model in a workplace setting, especially in healthcare. The researchers suggest that training programs for MAs could teach them to use friendly humor and stay away from satirical remarks. Over time, this could create a positive cycle: better humor leads to better well-being, which in turn helps maintain that positive humor style, even during hard times. “Knowing about the effects of humor and different styles can help make conversations with patients more pleasant. That said, waiting rooms are not supposed to become comedy (喜剧) clubs. It’s more about using humor carefully and properly,” concludes Professor René Proyer, a psychologist. 9. What does the study focus on? A. The role of humor in medical treatment. B. The effect of humor on MAs’ well-being. C. The benefit of humor to medical training programs. D. The impact of humor on medical leadership roles. 10. What is the researchers’ purpose in conducting a separate study? A. To highlight context-specific findings. B. To make up for the limitations of questionnaires. C. To compare humor styles across different medical fields. D. To determine the most popular humor style among MAs. 11. Why is the study significant in the context of healthcare? A. It provides new insights into patient treatment. B. It seems the first-ever research conducted in the field. C. It stresses the importance of humor in medical training. D. It offers a new way to improve MAs’ working experience. 12. What is René Proyer’s suggestion for humor usage? A. Turn waiting rooms into comedy clubs. B. Rely on gentle humor for health advice. C. Practice using humor thoughtfully. D. Have humorous conversations with patients. 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。 Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift a mood or improve a relationship. ____13____ So are there any rules to follow? Read on for 4 must-know tips. Don’t add a small gift to a big gift. Want to add a tie to an expensive shirt? Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand wine? Don’t. When we receive several gifts together, we tend to average out their value. ____14____ Gift experiences rather than things. A new smartphone becomes old fast. ____15____ Often more thought has gone into experiences, and they create more vivid memories. That is why you should consider an experience over a physical object while gifting. Gift cards are not bad. Gift giving can be wasteful. We only spend $10 on ourselves if we find something that we expect is worth more than $10 to us. But gift is different, because we’ re not buying for ourselves. So we can spend $10 on something that’s worth less than $10 to the receiver. ____16____ Gift cards have become much more popular over time. And they’ re also very popular with receivers—a better option than a rushed or poorly chosen gift that goes straight to the garbage can. ____17____ Let’s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we’d like. People tend to use gifts to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility(实用)or happiness to the receiver. The best way to get it right is to simply ask the question—“What would you like?” A. Think like the receiver. B. It could even be worth nothing to them. C. Use gifts to signal something about yourself. D. But having the same experience strengthens bonds. E. Therefore, small gift added to a big one will hurt the big one’s impact. F. But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist will give you memories that last forever. G. Whatever the situation, gift giving requires careful thought and consideration. 第三部分：语言运用(共三节，满分37. 5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。 One hot June day, we were driving back after a visit to a scenic spot when our car came to a stop suddenly.

How could I have never noticed? Every Christmas my mother enjoyed creating special memories and traditions for her family. Mom loved Christmas- the shopping, cooking, decorating, music, gifts even the hustle and bustle (拥挤喧器) the season brings. Her enthusiasm encouraged my brother, sister, and me to experience the joy and wonder of the season. Although we could receive various gifts, we were taught that the real reason for the season was to celebrate the getting together of the whole family. Many years have passed since I was a child. Yet I can still smell the aroma (香味) of Mom’s sugar cookies as she prepared a special treat for her family. These sweets were a sure sign that Christmas Day was near. On Christmas Eve my mother laid all our stockings under the beautifully decorated pine tree my father had picked out and cut down in the forest. Later, in the middle of the night, she secretly filled the stockings. The next morning we excitedly opened our gifts, leaving our Christmas stockings for last.Our stockings were always full of tiny toys, trinkets, nuts, oranges,apples, and colorful hard candies in various shapes and sizes In my twenties, I went Christmas shopping with a friend. She began looking for a small gift to place in her mother’s stocking. “You fix a Christmas stocking for your mother?” I asked. “Yes,” she replied. “Every year I fill a stocking with little treats and have it waiting for her on Christmas morning. I couldn’t bear for my mother to not have a Christmas stocking, especially since she prepares one for everyone else. That’s when I felt my face turn red with embarrassment. I realized my mother had not had a Christmas stocking for as long as I remembered. And, even worse, no one had noticed her stocking was missing. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 My sister and I were determined to start a tradition of our own that year. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at the stocking, my mother’s eyes filled with tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
