It is a “natural park” with beautiful mountains and amazing rivers, and a “cultural hub” with multiple minorities and unique ethnic customs. So, when you visit Guizhou, you will not only enjoy its unbelievable landscapes, but also personally experience its unique ethnic customs, cultures and festivals. Miao Villages Among the 17 ethnic groups in Guizhou, Miao minority has the largest population which are widely scattered (分散的) with complicated branches. Miao people have very distinctive features in costumes, food, music, batik (蜡染) and festivals in different areas. “San Yue San” Festival, Miao New Year Festival, sour soup and stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou) are the common symbols of Miao. To fully explore Miao cultures, you’d better to go to Kaili and its surroundings. Dong Villages Dong people (also known as Kam) are another large ethnic minority in China. About 55 percent of them live in Guizhou Province, with a population about 1.6 million. Dong people have their own language and featured architectures. Exquisite drum towers and beautiful village gate become the most important symbols of Dong. Numerous Dong villages are scattered in the remote mountains in those counties. Of course, you can experience the festivals — Grand Song of Dong People, and see Wind and Rain Bridges and Drum Towers in the villages. 1. What is special about Guizhou? A. It has the most ethnic groups. B. It is the only province without plains. C. It is popular with international travelers. D. It has the largest number of natural parks. 2. What can people experience in both Miao and Dong villages? A. Make batik and sing the Grand Song. B. Taste sour soup and visit Wind and Rain Bridges. C.

So, I was intrigued when discovering many Dutch female fighters who risked their lives for their country in wartime. My book The Girl with the Red Hair, is based on the true story of Hannie Schaft, the most famous of those brave women. To the Dutch, Hannie was an icon of resistance during World War Ⅱ, and around the country there are schools and streets named after her. At the start of the war, Hannie was a law student at the University of Amsterdam, but her studies were disrupted by the German occupation of the Netherlands. On May 14th, 1940, a German bombing raid almost destroyed Rotterdam, forcing thousands to flee the burning city. As the Nazis began targeting Jews, Hannie decided to act. Whether it was sheltering Jews or transporting top-secret information in her saddlebags, setting fire to military facilities or shooting Nazi officers, the breathtaking courage she demonstrated was unprecedented. Hannie was prepared to take on any assignment in her quest for justice. Hannie’s story ends tragically. It was Hannie’s great misfortune to be arrested only weeks before the end of the war. Though this black-haired girl refused to talk under questioning, her red hair roots gave her identity away. One cold spring morning, Hannie was taken from her cell and marched to a point, where one of the Nazi soldiers took aim. But his first shot only grazed her ear. She said, “Idiot! I shoot better than you.” The second bullet took her life. It has been a humbling experience writing this book about Hannie Schaft. Although my book is a work of fiction, I hope I’ve done justice to this incredible and inspiring woman. Come and discover more about my new novel, the second in The Dutch Girl series, called The Girl with the Red Hair. 4. What do we know about the Dutch women from the first paragraph? A. Few women took part in World War Ⅱ. B. Women’s contributions were rarely recorded. C. There existed stereotypical perception of women. D. Women’s stories were overshadowed by men's heroism. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Hannie’s peaceful life before the war. B. Challenges Hannie faced in her education. C. Hannie’s courageous resistance activities. D. Destruction caused by the German bombing. 6. What do the underlined words “only grazed” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Barely touched. B. Partially deafened. C. Deeply wounded. D. Completely missed. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To record the wartime history. B. To reflect on a writing experience. C. To introduce a patriotic woman. D. To share a real-life-inspired fiction. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在创作小说《红发女孩》时，以二战期间荷兰著名女抵抗战士汉妮·沙夫特的真实故事为蓝本，展现了汉妮在战争期间所展现出的非凡勇气和牺牲精神，尽管小说是虚构的，但作者希望通过这部作品向这位令人敬佩的女性致敬，并鼓励读者了解更多关于汉妮的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s unusual to read novels about women taking an active role in the resistance during World War Ⅱ, especially those of Dutch women, who were expected to keep the home fires burning and let the men get on with the fighting.(读到关于女性在二战期间积极参与抵抗的小说是不寻常的，尤其是那些荷兰女性，她们被期望保持家庭的温暖，让男人们继续战斗。)”可知，人们对荷兰女性存在刻板印象，认为她们应该待在家里，而不是参与战争。故选C项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Whether it was sheltering Jews or transporting top-secret information in her saddlebags, setting fire to military facilities or shooting Nazi officers, the breathtaking courage she demonstrated was unprecedented. Hannie was prepared to take on any assignment in her quest for justice.(无论是庇护犹太人，还是在马鞍袋里运送绝密信息，放火烧毁军事设施，还是射杀纳粹军官，她所表现出的惊人勇气都是前所未有的。汉妮准备接受任何任务，以寻求正义。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是汉妮勇敢的抵抗活动。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“One cold spring morning, Hannie was taken from her cell and marched to a point, where one of the Nazi soldiers took aim.(一个寒冷的春日清晨，汉妮被带出牢房，押到一处地点。一名纳粹士兵举枪瞄准。)”和下文“She said, “Idiot! I shoot better than you.” The second bullet took her life.(她骂道：“蠢货！我开枪都比你准。”第二颗子弹夺走了她的性命。)”可知，第一枪只是擦伤了她的耳朵，并没有造成严重的伤害，所以only grazed在此处的意思是“几乎没碰到”。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although my book is a work of fiction, I hope I’ve done justice to this incredible and inspiring woman. Come and discover more about my new novel, the second in The Dutch Girl series, called The Girl with the Red Hair.(虽然我的书是虚构的，但我希望我对这位令人难以置信和鼓舞人心的女性做了公正的评价。来了解更多关于我的新小说的信息吧，这是《荷兰女孩》系列的第二部，名为《红发女孩》。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是分享一个受真实生活启发的小说。故选D项。 C You might wander leisurely into the Kinder Shop if you happened to be in Carlisle, a city that sits in the county of Cumbria in northwest England. Its windows displayed a range of household items like candles, lamps and chairs. But this shop differs from other shops. Each item in the shop was generously donated by local businesses and priced in terms of volunteer hours that the purchaser would contribute to nearby charities. The suggested number of hours required to purchase each item was clearly displayed on its price tag, Calling itself the Kinder Shop, this store has transformed the concept of kindness into a practical project that genuinely impacts the lives of locals. The nature of the store lies in its devotion to assisting the county’s charitable organizations and community groups, which rely on the invaluable work of volunteers to fulfill their vital missions. The first customer Sara Talebaoui paid for her purchases, including a table and several chairs set for her garden, by volunteering for a total of 24 hours for several local charities. “This is indeed my lucky day. I had had no knowledge of this event before and couldn’t believe it when I was informed that all these lovely things are being offered in a special way, ” Sara told Cumbria Crack. “I am a bit of a history fan, so working for English Heritage is absolutely a golden opportunity for me. ” The Kinder Shop has opened doors for people to participate in charitable activities, enabling them to make a practical impact on their community. Bramble House Hair Salon in the nearby town of Keswick was inspired to host a “pay-with-kindness” day. During the activity, individuals who spent 15 minutes collecting trash in the town center received a free haircut as a gesture of appreciation. “What we thought would be a one-off (一次的) event looks as if it could be the start of something really special,” said Des Moore, CEO of the Cumberland Building Society, “We believe we can take the idea of kindness from Cumbria and spread it all around the UK. ” 8. Which may set the Kinder Shop apart from other stores? A. The various payment methods. B. Long hours of shopping service. C. A non-monetary exchange system. D. Generous discounts for volunteers. 9. What is the main purpose of the Kinder Shop? A. To provide free daily items for those in need. B. To offer employment opportunities to the locals. C. To drive volunteer contributions to local charities. D. To raise funds for the local charitable organizations. 10. How did Sara find her whole experience of getting furniture from the shop? A. It’s satisfying. B. It’s inconvenient. C. It’s boring. D. It’s laborious. 11. What can we infer about the Kinder Shop from the last two paragraphs? A. Its trading mode goes through many changes. B. It competes actively with other businesses. C. It has received the official support. D. Its impact has expanded further. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要叙述英国西北部一个城市的特殊商店，店里的每件商品都是当地商家慷慨捐赠的，并以购买者为附近的慈善机构贡献的志愿服务时间来确定他们服务的价位并给予相应的商品。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But this shop differs from other shops. Each item in the shop was generously donated by local businesses and priced in terms of volunteer hours that the purchaser would contribute to nearby charities.(但是这家店与其他店不一样。店里每件商品都是有当地企业慷慨捐赠的，并以购买者为附近的慈善机构贡献的志愿者时间来定价的。)”可知，这家店与其他店不同之处就在于店里的商品是由企业捐赠的，商品价格也是由购买者当志愿者的时间来定的，因此为非货币交易，故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The nature of the store lies in its devotion to assisting the county’s charitable organizations and community groups, which rely on the invaluable work of volunteers to fulfill their vital missions.(该店的本质在于它致力于帮助该县的慈善组织和社区团体，这些组织依靠志愿者的宝贵工作来完成他们的重要任务。)”可知，该店的目标是支持慈善机构和社区团体，依赖志愿者来完成使命，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““This is indeed my lucky day. I had had no knowledge of this event before and couldn’t believe it when I was informed that all these lovely things are being offered in a special way, ” Sara told Cumbria Crack. “I am a bit of a history fan, so working for English Heritage is absolutely a golden opportunity for me. ”(Sara告诉Cumbria Crack：“今天是我的幸运日。我之前对这个活动一无所知，当我被告知所有这些可爱的东西都以特殊的方式提供时，我简直不敢相信。我是一个历史迷，所以为英国遗产部门工作对我来说绝对是一个千金的机会。”)”可知，Sara称这是“幸运的一天”，并感谢通过志愿者工作获得这个工作的机会，故可推知她对此是满意的，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Bramble House Hair Salon in the nearby town of Keswick was inspired to host a “pay-with-kindness” day.(附近Keswick镇的Bramble House理发店受到启发举办了“慈善支付日”。)”以及最后一段Des Moore所说的话““We believe we can take the idea of kindness from Cumbria and spread it all around the UK. ”(“我们相信，我们能将这个慈善理念从Cumbria扩展到全英。”)”可知，这家店影响了附近的理发店，且其理念也将扩展到全英，因此它的影响得到了进一步的扩展，故选D。 D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光对人类有益，但会干扰野生动物的自然睡眠周期，新研究还发现它会使树叶变硬，影响城市生态系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. (研究人员发现，特定区域的人造光越多，树叶就越坚硬)”可知，人造光会使树叶变硬。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. (他们并不完全明白原因，但推测夜间处于人造光下的树木可能会延长它们的光合作用时间)”和第三段中引用Ellen Cieraad的话“Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher. (由于植物利用光进行生长，夜间人造光可能会不自然地增加树木进行光合作用的时间，将更多的资源分配到使树叶更坚硬的化合物上)”可推知，引用Ellen Cieraad的话是为了支持第二段中研究人员的假设。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. (植物的变化以及植物与动物之间相互作用的变化，会对整个城市生态系统产生重大影响。以树叶为食的食草昆虫可能难以生存，从而破坏食物链。食草昆虫数量的减少可能会导致鸟类等捕食者数量的减少，影响生物多样性)”描述的现象可知，植物和动物间的小变化会影响整个城市生态系统，即小的变动可能会影响大局。故D项“A small move may affect the bigger picture.(一个小小的变动可能会影响大局)”能概括该段现象。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文提到人造光对生态系统的诸多影响和最后一段中“Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. (未来，研究人员致力于完善他们的发现，旨在引导人们采取相应的行动)”可推断，后续研究可能会关注减少夜间人造光影响的解决方案。故选D项。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 How to eat and drink fewer microplastics Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. ____16____. Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink. ____17____ Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒), most of which are nanoplastics, measuring just a small part of the width of a human hair. Switching from bottled water to filtered (过滤的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake. Avoid plastic food containers Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. ____18____ Canned food is another plastic pollution pathway for humans. Use glass in the microwave One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. ____19____ Avoid highly processed foods Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food. ____20____ Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (虾) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts. A. Choose to drink clean tap water. B Filter and boil your bottled water. C. Microplastics could also be hiding in your food containers. D. Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure. E. That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container. F. And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments. G. One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是如何减少微塑料的接触。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid.(微塑料无处不在，它们存在于你的肝脏、血液甚至大脑中，而且几乎无法避免)”可知微塑料几乎无处不在，无法避免，根据空后“Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink.(这里有四种方法可以减少你在食物和饮料中的微塑料接触)”可知文章接下来介绍的是关于如何减少食物和饮料中微塑料接触的四种方法，结合选项，D项Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure.(幸运地是，有一些措施可以减少你的接触)提出有办法可以减少对微塑料的接触，承上启下，而且选项中的minimize your exposure与空后的reduce your exposure为同义复现，符合上下文语境，故选D项。 【17题详解】 空处为本段小标题，根据本段第一句话“Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic.(喝瓶装水可能会让你接触到成千上万的微塑料碎片)”以及后文可知本段主要围绕着瓶装水含有大量微塑料来展开，由最后一句“Switching from bottled water to filtered (过滤的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake.(从瓶装水转换为过滤自来水有可能减少微塑料摄入量)”可知此处建议由瓶装水换为过滤自来水，A项Choose to drink clean tap water.(选择饮用干净的自来水)指出要选择饮用干净的自来水，概括本段内容，而且选项中的clean tap water与空后的filtered (过滤的) tap water为同义复现，符合上下文语境，故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Avoid plastic food containers(避免使用塑料食品容器)”及空前的“Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives.(专家们敦促人们用替代品代替塑料容器中的食物)”可知本段主要强调的是要用避免使用塑料食品容器，以及用替代品代替塑料容器中的食物，E项That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container.(这可能很简单，就像买一个玻璃容器里的花生酱)举例说明具体替代方案，与上文衔接紧密，而且选项中的That指代上文的replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives的内容，符合上下文语境，故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging.(热量会导致微塑料进入你的食物中，所以不要把热的食物放入塑料包装中)”可知此处指出因为热量会导致微塑料进入食物中，所以在使用微波炉加热时不要把热的食物放入塑料包装中，选项F And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments.(并确保它没有储存在阳光或其他温暖的环境中)指出要避免将食物存放于阳光下或温暖环境中，对前文的建议进行了补充，符合上下文语境，故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据段落标题“Avoid highly processed foods(避免深加工食品)”以及空前“Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food.(深加工食品中的微塑料含量明显高于最小加工食品)”可知本段主要讲的是要避免微塑料含量比较高的深加工食品的摄入，根据空后“Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (虾) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts. (在测试的产品中，面包屑虾的塑料颗粒浓度最高。经过深度加工的鸡块每克含有的微塑料是鸡胸肉的30倍)”可知此处指明了经过深加工的蛋白质食品中微塑料含量是比较高的，G项One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled.(一项研究在研究人员取样的所有16种蛋白质产品中发现了微塑料)指出研究人员取样的所有16种蛋白质产品中发现了微塑料，承接上文，引出下文，空后的Of the products tested与选项中的all 16 protein products that researchers sampled相互照应，空后的数字与选项中的数字相互照应，符合上下文语境，故选G项。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 James Smith has long succeeded in competition, even in snowball fights as a child.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?”为题，给学校英文报投稿，明确表达对“是否应开设生活技能课程”的看法，并说明理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 坚定：firmly→strongly 必要的：necessary→essential 提升：boost→enhance 掌握：master→grasp 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 拓展句：I hold a firm belief that life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二部分：读后续写：（25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It all began one ordinary afternoon in world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new group project. We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other. The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend’s name was called, followed by three others—but not mine. There had to be some mistakes! Then I heard my name in the last group—with Linn, who always kept to herself, Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy, who spoke typical Japanese English! Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with “the invisible”! I just wanted to be with my friends. Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I’m counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can.” She looked into my eyes and continued, “Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do.” I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved. “So, will you help them?” she asked. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied. 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。 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. I started by encouraging them to share their thoughts. Linn had a deep understanding of the cultural details, Marsha brought unique insights from her South African background, and Jeremy’s knowledge of Japanese culture was impressive. We divided the tasks based on everyone’s strengths. Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration. To our surprise, the newspaper we created was graded A. The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. It was the friendships we built and the lessons we learned. I got to know Linn, Marsha, and Jeremy beyond my initial impressions. We started hanging out after school, sharing stories from our different cultures. Mrs. Bartlett’s decision taught me not to judge people by their appearance. This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Karina原本满心期待与好友同组完成历史课报纸项目，却发现被分到与内向的Linn、新转学的Marsha和说话带日本口音的Jeremy一组。她因无法与朋友合作而委屈落泪，甚至想找老师换组。但老师指出“这个小组需要你”，并鼓励她用心了解组员、发掘他们的潜力，Karina深受触动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我召集他们讨论如何完成我们工作。”可知，第一段可描写小组队员的优势，以及作者和小组队员分工合作并取得优异成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们小组的真正成功不仅仅是我们得到了A。”可知，第二段可描写作者认为自己团队取得成功的原因和感悟。 2. 续写线索：分享想法——发现优势——分工合作——获得A——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①分配：divide/allocate ②交流：communicate/interact ③变成：turn into/transform into 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尴尬：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】【高分句型1】Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration.(动用了every time引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises.(动用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026西安高级中学高2023级高三上学期期中考试 英语学科试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 一、听力：（30分） 第一节 短对话（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段短对话，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.What does the man want to drink?

It is a “natural park” with beautiful mountains and amazing rivers, and a “cultural hub” with multiple minorities and unique ethnic customs. So, when you visit Guizhou, you will not only enjoy its unbelievable landscapes, but also personally experience its unique ethnic customs, cultures and festivals. Miao Villages Among the 17 ethnic groups in Guizhou, Miao minority has the largest population which are widely scattered (分散的) with complicated branches. Miao people have very distinctive features in costumes, food, music, batik (蜡染) and festivals in different areas. “San Yue San” Festival, Miao New Year Festival, sour soup and stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou) are the common symbols of Miao. To fully explore Miao cultures, you’d better to go to Kaili and its surroundings. Dong Villages Dong people (also known as Kam) are another large ethnic minority in China. About 55 percent of them live in Guizhou Province, with a population about 1.6 million. Dong people have their own language and featured architectures. Exquisite drum towers and beautiful village gate become the most important symbols of Dong. Numerous Dong villages are scattered in the remote mountains in those counties. Of course, you can experience the festivals — Grand Song of Dong People, and see Wind and Rain Bridges and Drum Towers in the villages. 1. What is special about Guizhou? A. It has the most ethnic groups. B. It is the only province without plains. C. It is popular with international travelers. D. It has the largest number of natural parks. 2. What can people experience in both Miao and Dong villages? A. Make batik and sing the Grand Song. B. Taste sour soup and visit Wind and Rain Bridges. C. Enjoy ethnic festivals and see traditional buildings. D. Wear special costumes and speak their own languages. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure. C. An encyclopedia. D. A history magazine. B It’s unusual to read novels about women taking an active role in the resistance during World War Ⅱ, especially those of Dutch women, who were expected to keep the home fires burning and let the men get on with the fighting. So, I was intrigued when discovering many Dutch female fighters who risked their lives for their country in wartime. My book, The Girl with the Red Hair, is based on the true story of Hannie Schaft, the most famous of those brave women. To the Dutch, Hannie was an icon of resistance during World War Ⅱ, and around the country there are schools and streets named after her. At the start of the war, Hannie was a law student at the University of Amsterdam, but her studies were disrupted by the German occupation of the Netherlands. On May 14th, 1940, a German bombing raid almost destroyed Rotterdam, forcing thousands to flee the burning city. As the Nazis began targeting Jews, Hannie decided to act. Whether it was sheltering Jews or transporting top-secret information in her saddlebags, setting fire to military facilities or shooting Nazi officers, the breathtaking courage she demonstrated was unprecedented. Hannie was prepared to take on any assignment in her quest for justice. Hannie’s story ends tragically. It was Hannie’s great misfortune to be arrested only weeks before the end of the war. Though this black-haired girl refused to talk under questioning, her red hair roots gave her identity away. One cold spring morning, Hannie was taken from her cell and marched to a point, where one of the Nazi soldiers took aim. But his first shot only grazed her ear. She said, “Idiot! I shoot better than you.” The second bullet took her life. It has been a humbling experience writing this book about Hannie Schaft. Although my book is a work of fiction, I hope I’ve done justice to this incredible and inspiring woman. Come and discover more about my new novel, the second in The Dutch Girl series, called The Girl with the Red Hair. 4. What do we know about the Dutch women from the first paragraph? A. Few women took part in World War Ⅱ. B. Women’s contributions were rarely recorded. C. There existed stereotypical perception of women. D. Women’s stories were overshadowed by men's heroism. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Hannie’s peaceful life before the war. B. Challenges Hannie faced in her education. C. Hannie’s courageous resistance activities. D. Destruction caused by the German bombing. 6. What do the underlined words “only grazed” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Barely touched. B. Partially deafened. C. Deeply wounded. D. Completely missed. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To record the wartime history. B. To reflect on a writing experience. C. To introduce a patriotic woman. D. To share a real-life-inspired fiction. C You might wander leisurely into the Kinder Shop if you happened to be in Carlisle, a city that sits in the county of Cumbria in northwest England. Its windows displayed a range of household items like candles, lamps and chairs. But this shop differs from other shops. Each item in the shop was generously donated by local businesses and priced in terms of volunteer hours that the purchaser would contribute to nearby charities. The suggested number of hours required to purchase each item was clearly displayed on its price tag, Calling itself the Kinder Shop, this store has transformed the concept of kindness into a practical project that genuinely impacts the lives of locals. The nature of the store lies in its devotion to assisting the county’s charitable organizations and community groups, which rely on the invaluable work of volunteers to fulfill their vital missions. The first customer Sara Talebaoui paid for her purchases, including a table and several chairs set for her garden, by volunteering for a total of 24 hours for several local charities. “This is indeed my lucky day. I had had no knowledge of this event before and couldn’t believe it when I was informed that all these lovely things are being offered in a special way, ” Sara told Cumbria Crack. “I am a bit of a history fan, so working for English Heritage is absolutely a golden opportunity for me. ” The Kinder Shop has opened doors for people to participate in charitable activities, enabling them to make a practical impact on their community. Bramble House Hair Salon in the nearby town of Keswick was inspired to host a “pay-with-kindness” day. During the activity, individuals who spent 15 minutes collecting trash in the town center received a free haircut as a gesture of appreciation. “What we thought would be a one-off (一次的) event looks as if it could be the start of something really special,” said Des Moore, CEO of the Cumberland Building Society, “We believe we can take the idea of kindness from Cumbria and spread it all around the UK. ” 8. Which may set the Kinder Shop apart from other stores? A. The various payment methods. B. Long hours of shopping service. C. A non-monetary exchange system. D. Generous discounts for volunteers. 9. What is the main purpose of the Kinder Shop? A. To provide free daily items for those in need. B. To offer employment opportunities to the locals. C. To drive volunteer contributions to local charities. D. To raise funds for the local charitable organizations. 10. How did Sara find her whole experience of getting furniture from the shop? A. It’s satisfying. B. It’s inconvenient. C. It’s boring. D. It’s laborious. 11. What can we infer about the Kinder Shop from the last two paragraphs? A. Its trading mode goes through many changes. B. It competes actively with other businesses. C. It has received the official support. D. Its impact has expanded further. D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 How to eat and drink fewer microplastics Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. ____16____. Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink. ____17____ Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒), most of which are nanoplastics, measuring just a small part of the width of a human hair. Switching from bottled water to filtered (过滤的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake. Avoid plastic food containers Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. ____18____ Canned food is another plastic pollution pathway for humans. Use glass in the microwave One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. ____19____ Avoid highly processed foods Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food. ____20____ Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (虾) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts. A. Choose to drink clean tap water. B. Filter and boil your bottled water. C. Microplastics could also be hiding in your food containers. D. Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure. E. That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container. F. And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments. G. One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 James Smith has long succeeded in competition, even in snowball fights as a child.

We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other. The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend’s name was called, followed by three others—but not mine. There had to be some mistakes! Then I heard my name in the last group—with Linn, who always kept to herself, Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy, who spoke typical Japanese English! Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with “the invisible”! I just wanted to be with my friends. Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I’m counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can.” She looked into my eyes and continued, “Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do.” I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved. “So, will you help them?” she asked. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied. 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。 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
