Nämakanipaio Nämakanipaio Campground is operated by Hawaii Volcanoes Lodge Company. It is a large, open grassy area with tall trees. This campground has restrooms, water, picnic tables and barbeque pits. Campfires are permitted in the barbeque pits only. Maximum stay is 7 days. Fees: There is a pay station on site. Drive-in sites — $15.00 per night. If there are more than two people in your party, you can expand to four people per site with another tent. Weather may be cool all year round. Daytime temperature range: 60s to 80s F. Nighttime temperature range: 30s to 50s F. We suggest that you use a tent with a good rainfly and bring warm clothing for cool days and evenings. Reservations are required. Kulanaokuaiki Kulanaokuaiki Campground is located about five miles down the Hilina Pali Road. The nine campsites at Kulanaokuaiki have picnic tables and tent pads, and are available on a first come, first served basis. There is NO WATER at this location. Checkout time is 11:00 a. m. Fires are prohibited. Fees: $10.00 a night per site; stay limit of seven consecutive days. $6.00 a night per site for campers who hold the Interagency Senior (Golden Age) and Golden Access passes. Fees may be paid at the campground’s self-registration station. Pets are not allowed in the campground or anywhere on Hilina Pali Road. Nighttime temperature range: 40s to 60s F. Daytime temperature range: 60s to 80s F. We suggest that you use a tent with a good rainfly and bring warm clothing for cool days and evenings. Reservations are required. 1. How is Nāmakanipaio Campground different from Kulanaokuaiki Campground? A. It offers no water. B. It allows fire in the barbeque pits. C. It provides an up to seven-day stay. D. It has a narrower range of temperature. 2. How much should you pay if you stay at Kulanaokuaiki Campground for five nights with Golden Access passes? A. $80. B. $75. C. $50. D. $30. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to a volcano. B. A brochure about campsites. C A survey on Hawaiian tourism. D. A user’s review of campgrounds. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了夏威夷火山公园的两个免下车露营地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nämakanipaio中“Campfires are permitted in the barbeque pits only.(营火只允许在烧烤坑内被生起)”及Kulanaokuaiki中“Fires are prohibited.(禁止生火)”可知，Nāmakanipaio营地区别于Kulanaokuaiki的不同之处是Nāmakanipaio允许坑内生火，而Kulanaokuaiki不允许生火。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kulanaokuaiki下面Fees中“$6.00 a night per site for campers who hold the Interagency Senior (Golden Age) and Golden Access passes.(持有跨机构高级（黄金时代）和黄金通道通行证的露营人员每晚6美元)”可知，如果您持黄金通道通行证在Kulanokuaiki露营地住五晚，需要支付6乘以5一共三十美元。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“There are two drive-in campgrounds in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Nāmakanipaio and Kulanaokuaiki.(夏威夷火山国家公园有两个免下车露营地，Nāmakanipaio和kulanokuaiki)”可知，本文介绍了夏威夷火山国家公园的两个免下车露营地，说明了露营要求及费用等信息，因此，本文最有可能来自一本关于露营地的小册子。故选B。 B Fred Perry was a legendary English tennis player, known for his remarkable achievements on the court. Born in 1909 in Stockport, Cheshire, Perry grew up in a working-class family. Fred’s early life was marked by frequent moves, but it was in Ealing, London, that he attended Ealing Grammar School and began to show his exceptional talent in both tennis and table tennis. Perry’s natural ability and quick reactions made him a strong opponent (对手). In 1929, he won the world table tennis championship in Budapest. After this victory, he focused only on tennis, using the skills he had developed in table tennis to excel in his new sport. He had great strength and was known for his powerful forehand. Perry qualified for his first Wimbledon tournament (锦标赛) in 1929 and quickly gained fame. He won his first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open in 1933. Over the next few years, he took over the sport, winning a total of eight Grand Slams, including three Wimbledons and the French Open in 1935. His final Wimbledon victory in 1936 was particularly memorable, with a quick final lasting only 45 minutes. After his 1936 Wimbledon win, Perry turned professional. He continued to play and compete at the highest level. Perry’s competitive nature and friendly personality also made him a favorite in other social scenes. He was friends with many famous people of his time, including Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx. His off-court presence added to his fame, making him a true sports superstar. In the 1940s, Perry lent his name to a clothing label, which initially focused on tennis shirts. The Fred Perry brand quickly became a fashion icon, attracting British teenagers with its cool image. After retiring from tennis, Perry worked as a coach and continued to develop his clothing line. Fred Perry passed away in 1995 at the age of 85 while attending the Australian Open in Melbourne. His influence as a tennis champion and fashion icon lives on, and his contributions to both fields remain celebrated. 4. Where did Perry first show his exceptional talent in sports? A. In London. B. In Cheshire. C. In Budapest. D. In Paris. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Perry? A. His first Wimbledon experience. B. His skills developed from table tennis. C. His success in tennis tournaments. D. His decision to become a professional player. 6. Perry’s friendship with Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx is mentioned to show ______. A. he was interested in acting B. how he started his clothing line C. he gave up tennis for entertainment D. his wide social circle and popularity 7. Which word can best describe the impact of Perry’s career? A. Temporary. B. Far-reaching. C. Limited. D. Unremarkable. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是英国传奇网球选手弗雷德·佩里（Fred Perry）的生平与成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fred’s early life was marked by frequent moves, but it was in Ealing, London, that he attended Ealing Grammar School and began to show his exceptional talent in both tennis and table tennis.(弗雷德的早年生活以频繁的搬家为标志，但在伦敦的伊灵，他进入了伊灵文法学校，并开始展示他在网球和乒乓球方面的非凡才能)”可知，佩里第一次展示他在体育方面的非凡才能是在伦敦。故选A。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Perry qualified for his first Wimbledon tournament (锦标赛) in 1929 and quickly gained fame. He won his first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open in 1933. Over the next few years, he took over the sport, winning a total of eight Grand Slams, including three Wimbledons and the French Open in 1935. His final Wimbledon victory in 1936 was particularly memorable, with a quick final lasting only 45 minutes.(1929年，佩里首次获得温布尔登锦标赛的参赛资格，并迅速成名。1933年，他在美国网球公开赛上赢得了自己的第一个大满贯。在接下来的几年里，他接管了这项运动，总共赢得了8次大满贯，包括3次温布尔登网球公开赛和1935年的法国网球公开赛。1936年，他在温布尔登的最后一次胜利尤其令人难忘，那场快速的决赛只持续了45分钟)”可知，第三段主要告诉我们佩里在网球锦标赛中的成功。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Perry’s competitive nature and friendly personality also made him a favorite in other social scenes.(佩里好胜的天性和友好的性格也使他成为其他社交场合的宠儿)”和“His off-court presence added to his fame, making him a true sports superstar.(他在场外的表现增加了他的名气，使他成为真正的体育巨星)”可知，佩里与查理·卓别林和格劳乔·马克思的友谊被提到是为了展示他的社交圈广，人缘好。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“His influence as a tennis champion and fashion icon lives on, and his contributions to both fields remain celebrated.(作为网球冠军和时尚偶像，他的影响力将永存，他对这两个领域的贡献也将被世人称颂)”可知，佩里职业生涯的影响是深远的。故选B。 C This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do we hear these two terms together? But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as SoftVoice. This tool adjusts the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble. The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor caller’s voices in real time, detect if they become abusive and change their tone of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating. SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature, the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long, and play an automated message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.” Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially working. Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives. 8. What does the underlined word “grating” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hurried. B. Pleasant. C. Annoying D. Understandable. 9. How does SoftVoice work? A. By giving staff advice. B. By recording conversations. C. By changing wrong words automatically. D. By detecting abuse and lessening its effects. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice? A. It will break promises. B. It will mainly be used in call centers. C. It may cause potential problems later. D. It may completely remove customers’ anger. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A new type of AI in managing emotions. B. An AI tool and the concern it may cause. C. Future risks of AI in daily communication. D. How AI solves problems for angry customers. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本软银公司开发的人工智能工具SoftVoice，探讨了其工作原理、潜在影响及引发的思考。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating. (软银坚称不会改变客户说的话，而是会做一些诸如降低愤怒的声音之类的事情，使其不那么grating)”可知，该工具通过降低愤怒的音量，来使其不那么grating，这说明grating是愤怒声音所具备的负面特性，而工具的目的就是缓解此特性。因此，grating的词义最接近“令人不快的”或“刺耳的”。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor caller’s voices in real time, detect if they become abusive and change their tone of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. (新工具SoftVoice将实时监控呼叫者的声音，检测他们是否变得无礼，并改变他们的语调，让员工听起来更舒服)”及第四段“SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. (据称，SoftVoice不会完全消除愤怒的语气，这样呼叫中心的员工就能客观地知道客户生气了。但它会消除足够多的内容，以消除任何辱骂的迹象)”可知，SoftVoice的原理是通过检测辱骂行为并减轻其影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. (想象一下，未来在同一场对话中，许多人可以实时使用像SoftVoice这样的技术来改变彼此的情绪，甚至是他们的措辞选择)”以及“would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? (如果人工智能驱动的员工对客户的承诺略有改变，公司会为此负责吗)”可推知，SoftVoice的使用未来可能会引发潜在问题。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇“This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. (这是一个关于两种智能的故事：人工智能和情商)”引出话题，随后围绕软银公司的AI工具SoftVoice展开，介绍其在管理情绪方面的作用，倒数第二段也提到“And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions (这就是这款人工智能产品的作用：消除他人无益的情绪表达)”。由此可知，文章主要介绍了一种管理情绪的新型人工智能。故选A。 D Most people typically get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Now studies show some lucky people have rare genetic mutations (基因突变) that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep. Researchers have identified one of these mutations, called SIK3-N783Y, in a human super-sleeper. The team then studied the mutation in genetically modified mice and found that the mice carrying this mutation also got less sleep. Researchers tested the mutation by giving it to lab mice. They found that mice with the mutation slept around 31minutes less than those without it and 54 minutes less following a period of sleep deprivation (睡眠剥夺). Mice normally sleep for around 12 hours per day, which is significantly longer than humans. Therefore, this new mutation-linked sleep reduction of up to 54 minutes is less than observed in human subjects with naturally short sleep patterns. The researchers noted that this could be due to mice usually experiencing more fragmented (碎片化的) sleep than humans. There are a variety of negative effects associated with not getting enough sleep, from feeling tired and being more forgetful to an increased risk of heart problems. Study co-author Dr. Ying-Hui Fu suggests that the bodies of these natural short sleepers might simply be more efficient at the restorative processes that occur during sleep. “Our bodies continue to work when we go to bed, detoxifying themselves and repairing damage,” she said, “All these functions our bodies are doing while we are sleeping, these people can perform at a higher level.” For the rest of us who need our solid eight hours, understanding the genetics of naturally short sleepers could have important significance. Scientists hope that by investigating these genetic mechanisms, they can develop better treatments for the millions who struggle with sleep disorders. “These findings advance our understanding of the genetic basis of sleep and provide further support for potential therapeutic strategies to enhance sleep efficiency,” the team noted. 12. How do people with SIK3-N783Y differ from most people? A. They require much less sleep. B. They feel a bit more energetic. C. They have better sleep quality. D. They fall into deep sleep faster. 13. What can we infer about SIK3-N783Y from the experiment on mice? A. It has the same effect on humans’ sleep as on mice’s. B. It makes mice’s sleep patterns as continuous as humans’. C. It reduces mice’s sleep more remarkably after sleep deprivation. D. It enables mice to-sleep 4 hours a day like human super-sleepers. 14. What does Dr. Ying-Hui Fu intend to state in paragraph 3? A. The outcomes of lacking enough sleep. B. The significance of having longer sleep. C. The challenges of being a super-sleeper. D. The reasons for short sleepers’ less sleep. 15. What do scientists hope to achieve with this research? A. Improve humans sleep efficiency. B. Explore solutions to sleep disorders. C. Adjust human sleep patterns scientifically. D. Analyze the impact of other genes on sleep. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员发现了一种名为SIK3-N783Y的基因突变，拥有这种基因突变的人睡眠时间更短，同时介绍了关于这种基因突变的相关实验和研究意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, studies show some lucky people have rare genetic mutations (基因突变) that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep. Researchers have identified one of these mutations, called SIK3-N783Y, in a human super-sleeper.(现在，研究表明，一些幸运的人有罕见的基因突变，使他们只需睡四个小时就能感觉休息得很好。研究人员在一个超级睡眠者身上发现了其中一种突变，称为SIK3-N783Y)”可知，拥有SIK3-N783Y基因突变的人与大多数人不同的是他们需要的睡眠时间要少得多。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers tested the mutation by giving it to lab mice. They found that mice with the mutation slept around 31 minutes less than those without it and 54 minutes less following a period of sleep deprivation (睡眠剥夺).(研究人员通过将这种突变基因植入实验室小鼠体内来测试这种突变。他们发现，带有这种突变基因的小鼠比没有这种突变基因的小鼠睡眠时间少31分钟，而在睡眠剥夺后，睡眠时间少了54分钟)”可知，从对老鼠的实验中可以推断出SIK3-N783Y在睡眠剥夺后更能显著减少老鼠的睡眠时间。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Study co-author Dr. Ying-Hui Fu suggests that the bodies of these natural short sleepers might simply be more efficient at the restorative processes that occur during sleep. “Our bodies continue to work when we go to bed, detoxifying themselves and repairing damage,” she said, “All these functions our bodies are doing while we are sleeping, these people can perform at a higher level.”(研究合著者傅瑛慧博士指出，天生短睡眠者的身体或许能更高效地执行睡眠期间的修复过程。“入睡后身体仍在持续工作——排毒与修复损伤，”她解释道，“这些在睡眠中完成的身体机能，短睡眠者能以更高效率实现。”)”可知，傅瑛慧博士想在第三段说明短睡眠者睡眠少的原因。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scientists hope that by investigating these genetic mechanisms, they can develop better treatments for the millions who struggle with sleep disorders.(科学家们希望，通过研究这些遗传机制，他们能够为数百万患有睡眠障碍的人开发出更好的治疗方法)”可知，科学家们希望这项研究能为解决睡眠障碍找到方法。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。 Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet.____16____ You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty.____17____ While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. ____18____ This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. Nervousness in unfamiliar environments may worsen a player’s mechanics and lead to a lower batting average during the game itself. ____19____ To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs”. Brightening my face, helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’ s. I also adjust the way I stand.____20____ A. Practice makes perfect. B. You are standing up straight. C. You are loudly clearing your throat. D. Incorrect training may lead to negative outcomes. E. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. F. After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it were bent. G. To ensure effective practice, I recreate my singing in the shower. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对比淋浴时和开车时唱歌的不同感受，说明练习需专注和合适条件，还介绍了作者为有效练习重现淋浴唱歌状态的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet.(你是否曾好奇过，为什么在淋浴时唱歌会让人感觉如此惬意？此时你独自一人，身体温暖，空气潮湿，这使得你的喉咙也感觉湿润)”以及后文“You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣).(水给你带来的不仅是放松的感觉，还让您感到愉悦且充满活力。任何事物都无法让您分心，让你专注于手头的简单事务。你可以控制水流的速度和角度。而且这个浴室有着极佳的共鸣效果)”可知，前文描述淋浴时唱歌的舒适环境：独处、温暖、空气湿润，后文提到放松且被水赋予活力。本句描述淋浴时的常见姿势，与后文驾驶时的坐姿形成对比。故B选项“你站得笔直”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty.(现在想象一下边开车边唱歌的情景。你坐在车里，被紧绷的安全带紧紧束缚着，限制了空气流通。在没有任何热身的情况下，你可能会直接开始唱你听到的第一首歌。空气会变得更干燥。为了保持清醒，你可能会喝咖啡，但这可能会让你感到口渴)”可知，本段对比驾驶时唱歌的不适：安全带限制呼吸、空气干燥、喝咖啡口渴。本句进一步说明驾驶时的紧张状态，与淋浴时的放松形成反差，故E选项“驾驶时的紧张情绪让你一直处于紧张状态”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice.(从我个人的经历来看，我深知在练习过程中不仅要集中注意力，还要营造恰当的练习环境的重要性)”以及后文“This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. Nervousness in unfamiliar environments may worsen a player’s mechanics and lead to a lower batting average during the game itself.(这就是为什么有些人反对让棒球运动员在比赛前进行击球练习。在陌生的环境中感到紧张可能会使运动员的动作变得不流畅，并导致他们在实际比赛中击球成功率降低)”可知，前文提到练习时“专注和设置合适条件”的重要性，后文举例棒球运动员赛前练习可能因环境陌生导致表现不佳。本句解释不合适的练习条件的弊端。故D选项“不正确的训练可能会导致不良后果”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs”. Brightening my face, helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’ s. I also adjust the way I stand.(为了热身，我会做深呼吸练习，并通过“啦啦啦”这样的声音来放松舌头。让脸部焕发光彩，有助于让我的声音更有活力。当我通过打哈欠来张开嘴巴，想象着自己的口腔像青蛙的嘴巴那样扩张开来时，我的声音就会变得更加丰富和有力。我还调整了自己的站立姿势)”可知，本段讲述作者的练习方法，G选项“重现淋浴时的唱歌状态”呼应首段淋浴唱歌的舒适体验，引出后文具体的热身和练习方式，故G选项“为了确保有效的练习，我会在淋浴时重现我的歌唱场景”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“I also adjust the way I stand.(我还调整了自己的站立姿势)”可知，前文提到调整站姿，F选项“毕竟，如果一把竖着的吉他被弯曲了，它的声音就不会正常了” 用类比说明站姿对发声的重要性，强化“调整站姿”的合理性，衔接紧密。故选F。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a crowded New York subway car a teenager lay freely across three seats, blind to the elderly woman struggling to stand nearby.

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The day I looked forward to came eventually. My heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and excitement as we lined up for the relay race. As the race began, the cheers from the crowd fueled my determination. I focused on the task at hand. Each step was a testament to the weeks of practice and the support of my teammates. But it was at the moment when I took over the baton that I collapsed onto the track, due to the sudden pain from my knee, gasping for air. We were supposed to win the championship, but in the end we ended up getting the second place. We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. After crossing the finish line, disappointment washed over me like a cold wave. As we gathered together, I finally spoke up, my voice trembling with guilt. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t tripped, maybe we would have won.” However, Sarah placed a hand on my shoulder and said gently, “We’re a team, remember? Your effort and improvement are what truly matter.” Her words warmed my heart, and I realized that the true value of the sports day lay not in winning but in the bonds we had forged and the lessons we had learned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位原本内向的作者，在班长Sarah鼓励下参加运动会接力赛训练。训练中作者受伤却坚持下来，逐渐体会到团队合作的价值。比赛时作者膝盖的伤痛未能顺利接到接力棒，班级获得第二名。深感自责，但Sarah安慰作者强调团队精神与个人努力的价值。作者最终明白，运动会的意义在于友谊与成长，而非胜负。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我期待的那一天终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在接力赛前、赛中的心理状态以及赛跑中的意外情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们输了比赛，我把失败归咎于自己。”可知，第二段可描写赛后作者的自责与内疚，以及班长和同学们的安慰与鼓励，最终让作者领悟到运动会的真正价值。 2.续写线索： 期待比赛——赛前紧张与兴奋——赛跑中的意外——自责与内疚——Sarah与同学们的安慰——领悟运动会的真正价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激发：fuel/inspire/boost ②.集中：focus on/concentrate on ③.形成：forge/form/establish 情绪类 ①.紧张与兴奋：nervousness and excitement/tension and eagerness/anxiety and enthusiasm ②.温暖人心：warm one’s heart/touch one deeply/move one profoundly 【点睛】[高分句型1] My heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and excitement as we lined up for the relay race.（由as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Her words warmed my heart, and I realized that the true value of the sports day lay not in winning but in the bonds we had forged and the lessons we had learned.（运用了that引导宾语从句的结构以及省略引导词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 明德中学2025年下学期期中考试 高二年级英语试卷 2025年11月 时量： 120分钟 满分： 150分命题： 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.

B Fred Perry was a legendary English tennis player, known for his remarkable achievements on the court. Born in 1909 in Stockport, Cheshire, Perry grew up in a working-class family. Fred’s early life was marked by frequent moves, but it was in Ealing, London, that he attended Ealing Grammar School and began to show his exceptional talent in both tennis and table tennis. Perry’s natural ability and quick reactions made him a strong opponent (对手). In 1929, he won the world table tennis championship in Budapest. After this victory, he focused only on tennis, using the skills he had developed in table tennis to excel in his new sport. He had great strength and was known for his powerful forehand. Perry qualified for his first Wimbledon tournament (锦标赛) in 1929 and quickly gained fame. He won his first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open in 1933. Over the next few years, he took over the sport, winning a total of eight Grand Slams, including three Wimbledons and the French Open in 1935. His final Wimbledon victory in 1936 was particularly memorable, with a quick final lasting only 45 minutes. After his 1936 Wimbledon win, Perry turned professional. He continued to play and compete at the highest level. Perry’s competitive nature and friendly personality also made him a favorite in other social scenes. He was friends with many famous people of his time, including Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx. His off-court presence added to his fame, making him a true sports superstar. In the 1940s, Perry lent his name to a clothing label, which initially focused on tennis shirts. The Fred Perry brand quickly became a fashion icon, attracting British teenagers with its cool image. After retiring from tennis, Perry worked as a coach and continued to develop his clothing line. Fred Perry passed away in 1995 at the age of 85 while attending the Australian Open in Melbourne. His influence as a tennis champion and fashion icon lives on, and his contributions to both fields remain celebrated. 4. Where did Perry first show his exceptional talent in sports? A. In London. B. In Cheshire. C. In Budapest. D. In Paris. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Perry? A. His first Wimbledon experience. B. His skills developed from table tennis. C. His success in tennis tournaments. D. His decision to become a professional player. 6. Perry’s friendship with Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx is mentioned to show ______. A. he was interested in acting B. how he started his clothing line C. he gave up tennis for entertainment D. his wide social circle and popularity 7. Which word can best describe the impact of Perry’s career? A. Temporary. B. Far-reaching. C. Limited. D. Unremarkable. C This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do we hear these two terms together? But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as SoftVoice. This tool adjusts the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble. The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor caller’s voices in real time, detect if they become abusive and change their tone of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating. SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature, the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long, and play an automated message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.” Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially working. Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives. 8. What does the underlined word “grating” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hurried. B. Pleasant. C. Annoying D. Understandable. 9. How does SoftVoice work? A. By giving staff advice. B. By recording conversations. C. By changing wrong words automatically. D. By detecting abuse and lessening its effects. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice? A. It will break promises. B. It will mainly be used in call centers. C. It may cause potential problems later. D. It may completely remove customers’ anger. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A new type of AI in managing emotions. B. An AI tool and the concern it may cause. C. Future risks of AI in daily communication. D. How AI solves problems for angry customers. D Most people typically get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Now, studies show some lucky people have rare genetic mutations (基因突变) that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep. Researchers have identified one of these mutations, called SIK3-N783Y, in a human super-sleeper. The team then studied the mutation in genetically modified mice and found that the mice carrying this mutation also got less sleep. Researchers tested the mutation by giving it to lab mice. They found that mice with the mutation slept around 31minutes less than those without it and 54 minutes less following a period of sleep deprivation (睡眠剥夺). Mice normally sleep for around 12 hours per day, which is significantly longer than humans. Therefore, this new mutation-linked sleep reduction of up to 54 minutes is less than observed in human subjects with naturally short sleep patterns. The researchers noted that this could be due to mice usually experiencing more fragmented (碎片化的) sleep than humans. There are a variety of negative effects associated with not getting enough sleep, from feeling tired and being more forgetful to an increased risk of heart problems. Study co-author Dr. Ying-Hui Fu suggests that the bodies of these natural short sleepers might simply be more efficient at the restorative processes that occur during sleep. “Our bodies continue to work when we go to bed, detoxifying themselves and repairing damage,” she said, “All these functions our bodies are doing while we are sleeping, these people can perform at a higher level.” For the rest of us who need our solid eight hours, understanding the genetics of naturally short sleepers could have important significance. Scientists hope that by investigating these genetic mechanisms, they can develop better treatments for the millions who struggle with sleep disorders. “These findings advance our understanding of the genetic basis of sleep and provide further support for potential therapeutic strategies to enhance sleep efficiency,” the team noted. 12. How do people with SIK3-N783Y differ from most people? A. They require much less sleep. B. They feel a bit more energetic. C. They have better sleep quality. D. They fall into deep sleep faster. 13.

It reduces mice’s sleep more remarkably after sleep deprivation. D. It enables mice to-sleep 4 hours a day like human super-sleepers. 14. What does Dr. Ying-Hui Fu intend to state in paragraph 3? A. The outcomes of lacking enough sleep. B. The significance of having longer sleep. C. The challenges of being a super-sleeper. D. The reasons for short sleepers’ less sleep. 15. What do scientists hope to achieve with this research? A. Improve humans sleep efficiency. B. Explore solutions to sleep disorders. C. Adjust human sleep patterns scientifically. D.

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
