AC is a must when it’s this hot, but it makes power grid work too hard. Also, AC uses refrigerants. Those are greenhouse gases that trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Here are 7 simple alternatives to AC: 1. Quick fixes: Close south-facing windows during the day to keep heat out, then open them at night. Fans cool you by drying sweat — ceiling fans work best. For the long run, plant trees. 2. Cook outside: Use a portable barbecue. Cooking inside is a big heat source for your home. 3. New tech: Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. 4. Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half, and over 30 countries have subsidies for them. Some use water or underground pipes (geothermal) to work better. 5. Green roofs: Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. 6. Cool roofs: Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. 7. Building design: Look at old-style homes in hot places; Windcatchers (they catch cool air); Materials like bricks or stone (hold heat well); Shady central yards. Experts stress AC should be a last resort, not a first choice. 1. What is the main difference between evaporative coolers and heat pumps according to the text? A. Evaporative coolers work in all climates, while heat pumps only suit dry areas. B. Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. C. Evaporative coolers need subsidies, while heat pumps are fully free. D. Evaporative coolers use geothermal energy while heat pumps rely on sweat evaporation. 2. Which of the following statements about roof cooling methods is true? A. Green roofs can be used on any roof without extra preparation. B. Cool roofs cool buildings by absorbing most thermal energy. C. Green roofs demand more solid roofs to sustain the plants on them. D. Cool roofs are more expensive to build than green roofs. 3. Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A novel about US summer life. B. A science textbook on greenhouse gases. C. A family life magazine with useful life tips. D. A weather report predicting US extreme heat. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国酷暑下，空调带来的电力和环境影响，并推荐了七种替代空调的创新方法，如利用风扇、植树、蒸发式冷却器、热泵等，强调节能和环保。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章New tech部分中 “Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. (蒸发式冷却器：适用于干燥地区，耗电量仅为空调的1/4。)”以及Heat pumps 部分中“Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half,(热泵：夏天制冷，冬天制热。它们将家庭能源消耗减半,)”可知，通过对比两者的功能描述，可以看出蒸发式冷却器仅用于制冷，而热泵既可以制冷也可以制热。因此，选项B“Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. (蒸发式冷却器只制冷，而热泵既能制冷又能制热。)”符合题意。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中Green roofs部分“Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. (屋顶上有植物，通过水蒸发来降温，但需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑它们。)”以及Cool roofs部分“Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. (只需刷成白色。它们能反射 90%的热量，就像希腊人在夏天给建筑物刷成白色那样。)”可知，绿色屋顶需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑植物，而凉爽屋顶则是通过反射热量来降温。因此，选项C“Green roofs demand more solid roofs to sustain the plants on them. (绿色屋顶需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑上面的植物。)”符合题意。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了七种替代空调的简单方法，包括快速修复措施、户外烹饪、新技术应用、热泵、绿色屋顶、凉爽屋顶以及建筑设计等方面的建议。这些内容更偏向于提供实用的生活小贴士，而非科学理论或天气预报。因此，选项C“A family life magazine with useful life tips. (一本提供实用生活小贴士的家庭生活杂志。)”是最可能的出处。故选C项。 B As Amy Hagadorn turned the hallway corner near her classroom, she bumped into a tall fifth-grader running the other way. “Watch where you’re going, kid!” he shouted, stepping around her. Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. Amy closed her eyes. “Ignore him.” she told herself, heading to class. By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. At dinner that night, Amy was quiet. Her mom Patti shared exciting news: a radio Christmas wish contest — write to Santa for a prize. “You, with blonde curls, should join.” her mom said. Amy laughed, then smiled at an idea. She took pencil and paper, starting, “Dear Santa Claus, …” While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.” 4. What did the fifth-grader do after bumping into Amy? A. He helped her pick up her books. B. He apologized for running too fast. C. He imitated her way of walking. D. He reported the incident to the teacher. 5. Why was Amy quiet at dinner? A. She was upset about being teased. B. She was busy writing her letter to Santa. C. She didn’t like the dinner food. D. She felt tired from the day’s classes. 6. What did Amy’s family guess her Christmas wish might be? A. A day without being teased. B. A 3-foot Barbie or a picture book. C. A radio interview with Santa. D. A photo on the front page of the newspaper. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe Amy’s daily life with cerebral palsy. B. To show the power of kindness against teasing. C. To introduce a radio Christmas wish contest. D. To explain how to deal with physical disabilities. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Amy因残疾被同学嘲笑，在圣诞愿望活动中通过写信向圣表达了自己希望不再被嘲笑的心情。她的故事引起了社会关注，最终得到了实现，并促使人们反思尊重和友善的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. (然后他恶意地笑了笑，抬起右腿，模仿Amy跛行走路的样子。)”可知，五年级的男孩在撞到Amy后，模仿了她的走路方式。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. (到了一天结束时，她还在想着他的嘲笑。从三年级开始，每天都有人取笑她的说话或因脑瘫而跛行。即使在教室里坐满了人，这也让她感到孤独。)”以及第三段中的“At dinner that night, Amy was quiet.(那天晚上吃饭时，Amy很安静。)”可知，Amy在晚餐时很安静是因为她对被取笑感到沮丧。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. (当Amy写信时，她的家人猜测她的愿望：她的姐姐Jamie和妈妈认为是一个3英尺高的芭比娃娃，她的爸爸认为是一本图画书。)”可知，Amy的家人猜测她的圣诞愿望可能是一个3英尺高的芭比娃娃或一本图画书。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.”(她实现了她的愿望：在South Wayne小学度过了一个没有嘲笑的日子。老师和学生们谈论了嘲笑有多糟糕。那一年，Wayne市长将12月21日定为“Amy·乔·哈加多恩日”，他说：“每个人都应该得到尊重、尊严和友善。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Amy因脑瘫而受到嘲笑，后来通过写信给圣诞老人表达了自己的愿望，最终得到了大家的支持和尊重，展示了善良对抗嘲笑的力量。故选B项。 C Mount Tai in Shandong province has launched a trial operation of mountain climbing assist robots for the first time, attracting significant attention from visitors.

Hollywood actor Glen Powell sticks to lx, saying he wants to hear “a normal human rate” while Bowen Yang, an American comedian leans toward 2x—or 1.8x, which he calls the “Goldilocks” pace. Their views were featured in an Audible advert earlier this year, but the ad sparked online debate: many fast listeners felt shamed, with some even threatening to cancel their Audible subscriptions. This debate reflects shifting digital media habits. A poll conducted for The Economist found 31% of 18-29-year-old Americans listen to audio at speeds faster than 1x, compared to just 8% of those aged 45 and over. Major platforms have responded to this trend: Apple and Spotify let users speed up podcasts, Netflix offers video speed adjustment on its apps and website, and YouTube recently added a 4x playback option for premium subscribers, a move driven by popular demand. The time-saving benefit of fast playback is significant. YouTube reports its users collectively save over 900 years of time daily with this feature. For example, on a 10-hour journey, you could finish Persuasion in 5.5 hours at 1.5x speed—leaving enough time to listen to Animal Farm (120 minutes) and The Little Prince (80 minutes) at the same speed. Science also supports moderate fast playback: cognitive scientist Marcus Pearce notes people speak about 150 words per minute, but brains process information much faster. A Canadian meta-analysis even found students who watched lectures at up to 1.5x had similar test scores to those at 1x, though scores dropped when speeds hit 2x or higher. For platforms, offering multiple playback speeds is a win—more content consumed means better advertising and sales revenue. But for listeners, the trade-off exists. Audiobook narrator Kimberly Wetherell argues fast playback erodes the “pacing, tone and suspension” of audio performances, and rhetoric often relies on rhythm and pauses to convey meaning. Yet for many, especially young people, fast playback is no longer a choice but a daily habit. 12. Why does the author mention the online debate triggered by the Audible ad? A. To stress that fast listeners are strongly against Audible’s service policies. B. To take a specific example to introduce shifts in digital media consumption habits. C. To compare how actors and comedians differ in choosing playback speeds. D. To explain why Audible’s ad failed to promote its subscription services. 13. What can we conclude from the Canadian meta-analysis about lecture playback speeds? A. Students who listen to lectures at 1.5x speed get better test scores than those at 1x. B. Playback speeds higher than 2x will likely reduce students’ learning effects. C. The “Goldilocks” pace is the most suitable for all lecture scenarios. D. Human brains’ fast information processing allows unlimited fast playback. 14. The underlined word “trade-off” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. A situation where you gain one thing but lose another. B. A decision that must be made between two similar choices. C. A problem that causes trouble for both sides in a relationship. D. A change that improves one aspect without affecting any others. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Fast Playback: Popular Among Young People but Disputed by Experts B. Playback Speed: How Platforms Compete to Meet User Demands C. Fast Playback: A Common Habit Shaped by Age, Science and Platforms D. Playback Speed: What’s the Best Choice for Learning and Entertainment 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了快进播放在数字媒体中的普及及其争议。年轻人偏爱快进，但专家指出可能损害内容体验。快进节省时间并提升效率，平台纷纷适配此需求，但需权衡利弊，因其可能削弱内容的节奏与情感表达。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段末尾“Their views were featured in an Audible advert earlier this year, but the ad sparked online debate: many fast listeners felt shamed, with some even threatening to cancel their Audible subscriptions. (今年早些时候，他们的观点被刊登在Audible的一则广告中，但这则广告引发了网络辩论：许多快速收听者感到被羞辱，一些人甚至威胁要取消他们的Audible订阅。)”以及第二段开头“This debate reflects shifting digital media habits. (这场辩论反映了数字媒体消费习惯的转变。)”可知，作者提到由Audible广告引发的网络辩论，是为了通过具体例子来引入数字媒体消费习惯的转变这一主题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“A Canadian meta-analysis even found students who watched lectures at up to 1.5x had similar test scores to those at 1x, though scores dropped when speeds hit 2x or higher. (一项加拿大的meta分析甚至发现，观看速度为1.5倍的学生与观看速度为1倍的学生的考试成绩相似，尽管当速度达到2倍或更高时，分数会下降。)”可知，当播放速度超过2倍时，学生的学习效果很可能会降低。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“For platforms, offering multiple playback speeds is a win—more content consumed means better advertising and sales revenue. But for listeners, the trade-off exists. Audiobook narrator Kimberly Wetherell argues fast playback erodes the “pacing, tone and suspension” of audio performances, and rhetoric often relies on rhythm and pauses to convey meaning.(对于平台来说，提供多种播放速度是一种胜利——消费更多的内容意味着更好的广告和销售收入。但对于听众来说，这种trade-off是存在的。有声读物叙述者金伯利·韦瑟雷尔认为，快速播放会侵蚀音频表演的“节奏、语气和悬念”，而修辞往往依靠节奏和停顿来传达意义。)”可知，对于平台来说，提供多种播放速度是有益的，但对于听众来说，快速播放会带来一些问题，即听众在获得快速播放带来的便利的同时，也失去了音频表演的一些重要元素。因此，“trade-off”在这里指的是一种得失兼有的情况。选项A“A situation where you gain one thing but lose another.(一种你得到某样东西却失去了另一样东西的情况。)”符合题意。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章首先通过Audible广告引发的辩论引出数字媒体消费习惯的转变，特别是年轻人对快速播放的偏好。接着，文章通过调查数据、平台响应和科学实验来支持这一趋势，并讨论了快速播放的益处和潜在问题。最后，文章指出对于平台和听众来说，快速播放带来的利弊并存。因此，文章的主旨是探讨快速播放这一由年龄、科学和平台共同塑造的普遍习惯。C选项“Fast Playback: A Common Habit Shaped by Age, Science and Platforms(快速回放：一种由年龄、科学及平台共同塑造的常见习惯)”符合文章标题。故选C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。 4 Ways to Make Small Talk with Social Anxiety Social anxiety can make small talk feel daunting. ____16____ But these strategies from a licensed clinical professional counselor Hall-Baldwin can help ease the pressure. ____17____ Before attending networking events or reunions, practice conversations with baristas (咖啡师), waiters, neighbors or co-workers.

With ____39____ history of nearly 1,000 years, the pagoda is the world’s tallest and oldest wooden pagoda.

Completely built in a mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) structure, the pagoda ____41____ (weigh) over 7,400 tons with its main body made of a special kind of wood. From the outside, the pagoda appears to have five floors, but it actually has nine. There is a ____42____ (hide) floor between every two floors, ____43____ each floor features statues of Buddha (佛像). There are windows on all eight sides of the pagoda, offering excellent views of the nearby countryside. These windows also help keep the wood dry and protect it from insect ____44____ (destroy). The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda has now become a popular site for both researchers and tourists.

Built 39 a 40. included 41. weighs 42. hidden 43. and 44. destruction 45. slightly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了山西应县木塔，它是中国现存古代建筑最多的地方，被视为精华。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在拥有中国最多古建筑的山西省，应县木塔被人们视为其中的骄傲。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“Shanxi Province”，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：在拥有中国最多古建筑的山西省，应县木塔被人们视为其中的骄傲。“see...as...”是固定短语，意为“把……看作……”，这里用了其被动形式“be seen as”，表示“被看作”。故填as。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这座塔建于辽代1056年，又称释迦塔，位于应县佛宫寺，高67.31米。句中“stands”为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。“the pagoda”与“build”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Built。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这座塔有着近1000年的历史，是世界上最高、最古老的木塔。“have a history of...”是固定短语，意为“有……的历史”，所以这里用不定冠词a。故填a。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：2016年，吉尼斯世界纪录将其列为世界上最高的木塔。根据时间状语“In 2016”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，“include”的过去式是“included”。故填included。 【41题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这座塔完全采用榫卯结构建造，主体由一种特殊木材制成，重达7400多吨。句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语“the pagoda”是单数，所以谓语动词“weigh”用第三人称单数形式。故填weighs。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每两层之间有一层隐藏的楼层，每层都有佛像。“floor”与“hide”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填hidden。 【43题详解】 考查连词。句意：每两层之间有一层隐藏的楼层，每层都有佛像。前后两句之间是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些窗户也有助于保持木材干燥，防止昆虫破坏。设空处使用名字作宾语，“destroy”的名词形式是“destruction”，是不可数名词。故填destruction。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，据当地导游介绍，这座塔略有倾斜，所以游客只允许参观第一层。设空处使用副词形式修饰动词“leaning”作状语，“slight”的副词形式是“slightly”。故填slightly。 第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英语报拟增设一个栏目。外教Brown给出“Historical Figures of Great Achievements”和“Embracing the Development of New Technologies”两个栏目选项供大家选择。请给Brown写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)你的选择; (2)说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Brown, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Version 1(选择 “Historical Figures of Great Achievements”) Dear Brown, I truly appreciate the proposal to introduce a new column in our English newspaper. After careful consideration, I strongly support “Historical Figures of Great Achievements” over the technology-focused alternative. History is filled with extraordinary individuals whose contributions shaped our world. Figures like Marie Curie, who revolutionized science with her work on radioactivity, and Tu Youyou, whose discovery of artemisinin saved countless lives, demonstrate how dedication and intelligence drive progress. Their stories are not just about the past—they teach timeless lessons in perseverance, creativity, and ethical responsibility. I believe this column would engage students by blending education with inspiration, fostering a deeper appreciation for the people who changed the course of humanity. Yours, Li Hua Version 2 (选择 “Embracing the Development of New Technologies”) Dear Brown, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. Between the two options, I strongly support “Embracing the Development of New Technologies”. Technology is transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. Innovations like AI, renewable energy, and space exploration redefine how we live and work. This column could highlight breakthroughs—such as AI-assisted healthcare or sustainable energy solutions—helping students grasp their impact. It would not only satisfy our curiosity about the future but also inspire careers in STEM fields. While historical figures are inspiring, understanding cutting-edge technologies prepares us for tomorrow’s challenges. I believe this topic will resonate with tech-savvy peers. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。学校英语报拟增设一个新栏目，外教Brown给出“Historical Figures of Great Achievements(杰出的历史人物)”和“Embracing the Development of New Technologies(拥抱新技术的发展)”两个栏目，要求考生写一封邮件对引入新专栏提议，表明自己支持的观点并阐述理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 仔细的：careful→meticulous 支持：support→be in favor of 非凡的：extraordinary→remarkable 塑造：shaped→modeled 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I truly appreciate the proposal to introduce a new column in our English newspaper.  拓展句：I truly appreciate the proposal which is to introduce a new column in our English newspaper. 【点睛】【高分句型1】History is filled with extraordinary individuals whose contributions shaped our world. （运用了whose引导定语从句） 【高分句型2】Figures like Marie Curie, who revolutionized science with her work on radioactivity, and Tu Youyou, whose discovery of artemisinin saved countless lives, demonstrate how dedication and intelligence drive progress.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句以及whose引导非限制性定语从句） 第二节(满分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。 Ashley ran home from school. Thanksgiving meant four days off. Driving from Ohio to Minnesota took one day, so she could spend two whole days with Emily. Ashley hadn’t seen Emily for five months, since Ashley had moved to Ohio. It felt like forever. Over the phone, Emily talked a lot about a girl named Isabella. Was Isabella Emily’s new best friend? No, Ashley decided. She couldn’t be. Only Ashley knew how to make Emily’s favorite dessert, cranberry-apple pie. Ashley couldn’t wait to get back to Minnesota. Mom glanced up from her computer. “There’s a good chance of snow.” Ashley felt her heart sinking. “Snowplows clear the roads fast. I promised Emily I’d come.” Ashley said, keeping her fingers crossed, “Nothing will go wrong.” On Thanksgiving morning, they got up before the sun and drove, across Illinois and into Wisconsin. Snow began to fall. Little flakes at first, then big, slouchy clumps (大团的雪). The windshield wipers (雨刷) could hardly keep up. Mom pulled into the rest area and parked the car, then turned to Ashley. “We’ll stay here until the roads clear.” said Mom. “It’s Thanksgiving. I brought Emily’s favorite pie. She’s counting on me.” Ashley felt her eyes filling with tears. Mom reached back to squeeze Ashley’s hand. “I’m sorry, sweetie. We can eat pie tomorrow. The rest stop has a lobby and bathrooms and heat, we can sleep on the floor.” Mom pulled her coat on. “Grab your sleeping bag and pillow. It’ll be fun, like camping.” Ashley followed close behind Mom. In the middle of the lobby, a man sat between two little boys on a football blanket. A girl sat with her parents on another blanket next to them. They wore winter coats. “Hello,” said Mom. “Hi,” said the girl. “Welcome. Come share our Thanksgiving dinner,” said the father of the two young boys. He pulled sandwiches out of a cooler and set them on the blanket next to some bowls. “We’re sharing our food. I’ve got sandwiches.” “We came from Wisconsin.” The girl’s mom pointed to the other food. “Beef soup and stuffed dumplings,” introduced the girl’s dad. “We’ll buy water and sodas from the vending machine (自动售货机). All we need is dessert.” Ashley thought about Emily’s cranberry-apple pie in the car. “I’ll buy candy bars from those machines,” Mom said. The girl nodded, smiling at Ashley. Ashley had a feeling that meant something like “welcome.” Emily would understand when Ashley explained. Best friends always listened. “We have pie” Ashley said. “Thanksgiving pie.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Ashley laid the cranberry-apple pie on the blanket, it’s golden and fragrant. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The phone suddenly rang as Ashley was sharing the apple juice with the girl beside her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ashley laid the cranberry-apple pie on the blanket, it’s golden and fragrant. The family’s eyes lit up — especially the girl, Lila, who clapped her hands. “Pie! My favorite!” she exclaimed, giggling as Ashley’s mom sliced the pie gently and shared a piece with everyone. “You made this?” the father asked surprisingly. Ashley nodded proudly. When Ashley watched them savor each bite, a warm memory of sharing a pie together with Emily surfaced. Maybe missing Emily wasn’t so lonely when warmth filled the lobby. The phone suddenly rang as Ashley was sharing the apple juice with the girl beside her. When Emily’s voice crackled through the phone, Ashley’s throat tightened. “I’m so sorry I didn’t make it…” Emily’s worried voice immediately came through, asking whether Ashley was fine now. A joyful voice piping up in the background, Ashley asked quietly if it was Isabella. Emily laughed softly and said yes. Instead of feeling jealous, a smile tugged at her lips — glad Emily wasn’t waiting alone. She glanced at Lila, who held out a pie crumb, realizing friendship wasn’t about possession, but about watching your happiness growing together. Maybe next year, there would be two pies — one for the old friend, one for new. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Ashley在感恩节前往明尼苏达州看望好友Emily，途中因大雪被困休息区，与陌生人共享感恩节晚餐，用带来的蔓越莓苹果派温暖了大家，后接到Emily电话，明白了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ashley把蔓越莓苹果派放在毯子上，它色泽金黄，散发出芳香。”可知，第一段可描写Ashley将派拿出来后，大家开心地分享派的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ashley和旁边的女孩分享苹果汁时，电话突然响了。”可知，第二段可描写Ashley接到Emily电话，两人互相问候，Ashley也明白了友谊的真谛。 2. 续写线索：拿出派——分享派——接到电话——互相问候——明白友谊真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①一起分享派：share the pie together/enjoy the pie with others ②点头：nod/nod one’s head/give a nod ③看：glance at/look at/cast a glance at 情绪类： ①担心的：worried/anxious/concerned ②高兴的：glad/happy/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】The family’s eyes lit up — especially the girl, Lila, who clapped her hands.(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】When Ashley watched them savor each bite, a warm memory of sharing a pie together with Emily surfaced.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语试卷 考试时间：2025年11月13日9:45—11:45 试卷满分：150分 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡，上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

AC is a must when it’s this hot, but it makes power grid work too hard. Also, AC uses refrigerants. Those are greenhouse gases that trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Here are 7 simple alternatives to AC: 1. Quick fixes: Close south-facing windows during the day to keep heat out, then open them at night. Fans cool you by drying sweat — ceiling fans work best. For the long run, plant trees. 2. Cook outside: Use a portable barbecue. Cooking inside is a big heat source for your home. 3. New tech: Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. 4. Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half, and over 30 countries have subsidies for them. Some use water or underground pipes (geothermal) to work better. 5. Green roofs: Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. 6. Cool roofs: Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. 7. Building design: Look at old-style homes in hot places; Windcatchers (they catch cool air); Materials like bricks or stone (hold heat well); Shady central yards. Experts stress AC should be a last resort, not a first choice. 1. What is the main difference between evaporative coolers and heat pumps according to the text? A. Evaporative coolers work in all climates, while heat pumps only suit dry areas. B. Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. C. Evaporative coolers need subsidies, while heat pumps are fully free. D. Evaporative coolers use geothermal energy while heat pumps rely on sweat evaporation. 2. Which of the following statements about roof cooling methods is true? A. Green roofs can be used on any roof without extra preparation. B. Cool roofs cool buildings by absorbing most thermal energy.

B As Amy Hagadorn turned the hallway corner near her classroom, she bumped into a tall fifth-grader running the other way. “Watch where you’re going, kid!” he shouted, stepping around her. Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. Amy closed her eyes. “Ignore him.” she told herself, heading to class. By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. At dinner that night, Amy was quiet. Her mom Patti shared exciting news: a radio Christmas wish contest — write to Santa for a prize. “You, with blonde curls, should join.” her mom said. Amy laughed, then smiled at an idea. She took pencil and paper, starting, “Dear Santa Claus, …” While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.” 4. What did the fifth-grader do after bumping into Amy? A. He helped her pick up her books. B. He apologized for running too fast. C. He imitated her way of walking. D. He reported the incident to the teacher. 5. Why was Amy quiet at dinner? A. She was upset about being teased. B. She was busy writing her letter to Santa. C. She didn’t like the dinner food. D. She felt tired from the day’s classes. 6. What did Amy’s family guess her Christmas wish might be? A. A day without being teased. B. A 3-foot Barbie or a picture book. C. A radio interview with Santa. D. A photo on the front page of the newspaper. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe Amy’s daily life with cerebral palsy. B. To show the power of kindness against teasing. C. To introduce a radio Christmas wish contest. D. To explain how to deal with physical disabilities. C Mount Tai in Shandong province has launched a trial operation of mountain climbing assist robots for the first time, attracting significant attention from visitors. These exoskeleton (外骨骼) robots are designed to assist climbers and are versatile (多用途的) enough to be used in various fields such as mountaineering and fitness. “It really works! Once I put it on, it felt like someone was pulling me up the Mount Tai — full of high-tech vibes (氛围)!” exclaimed a tourist, who is trying out the new mountain climbing exoskeleton robot. Resembling the “mechanical armor (机械战甲)” seen in sci-fi movies, this robot has become a new companion for hikers, thanks to its cutting-edge technological design. Staff explained that the exoskeleton robot is not limited to Mount Tai climbing. It has a wide range of applications, covering activities such as hiking, fitness, running, daily walking, and going up and down stairs, this versatile device can be applied across various aspects of life and work. Unlike traditional mountaineering equipment, the design of this robot emphasizes more on the integration of ergonomics and smart technology. Weighing only 1.8 kg, it incorporates advanced power, electronics, and AI algorithms that can instantly detect lower limb movements and provide tailored assistance. This precise support system effectively reduces strain on the legs, offering great convenience, particularly for elderly or physically weaker tourists. Additionally, the robot is equipped with an efficient battery system that allows for over 5 hours of continuous walking, with a single charge supporting a distance of around 14 kilometers. For those who want to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Mount Tai without opting for the cable car, this robot is undoubtedly an ideal choice. 8. According to Paragraphs 1 and 2, what is the key feature of the exoskeleton robot reflected in the tourist’s feedback? A. It has a sci-fi appearance that attracts tourists’ attention. B. It is practical for assisting climbing and feels high-tech. C. It is lightweight and easy to wear for most visitors. D It is cheaper than taking the cable car up Mount Tai. 9. According to the staff, what makes the exoskeleton robot fundamentally different from traditional mountaineering equipment? A. Its light weight that reduces burden for climbers. B. Its wide use in both daily life and work activities. C. Its design concept centered on integrating ergonomics and smart technology. D. Its long battery life that supports over 5 hours of continuous walking. 10. What is the author’s intention in mentioning the robot’s battery performance? A. To show the robot can satisfy the practical needs of Mount Tai hikers. B. To prove the robot is more energy-saving than Mount Tai’s cable cars. C. To emphasize how advanced the robot’s battery technology is. D. To explain why the robot is better for daily walking than mountaineering. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Mount Tai’s climbing assist robot trial? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Skeptical. D Young people, in particular, favor faster speeds for audiobooks, podcasts and videos. Hollywood actor Glen Powell sticks to lx, saying he wants to hear “a normal human rate” while Bowen Yang, an American comedian leans toward 2x—or 1.8x, which he calls the “Goldilocks” pace. Their views were featured in an Audible advert earlier this year, but the ad sparked online debate: many fast listeners felt shamed, with some even threatening to cancel their Audible subscriptions. This debate reflects shifting digital media habits. A poll conducted for The Economist found 31% of 18-29-year-old Americans listen to audio at speeds faster than 1x, compared to just 8% of those aged 45 and over. Major platforms have responded to this trend: Apple and Spotify let users speed up podcasts, Netflix offers video speed adjustment on its apps and website, and YouTube recently added a 4x playback option for premium subscribers, a move driven by popular demand. The time-saving benefit of fast playback is significant. YouTube reports its users collectively save over 900 years of time daily with this feature. For example, on a 10-hour journey, you could finish Persuasion in 5.5 hours at 1.5x speed—leaving enough time to listen to Animal Farm (120 minutes) and The Little Prince (80 minutes) at the same speed. Science also supports moderate fast playback: cognitive scientist Marcus Pearce notes people speak about 150 words per minute, but brains process information much faster. A Canadian meta-analysis even found students who watched lectures at up to 1.5x had similar test scores to those at 1x, though scores dropped when speeds hit 2x or higher. For platforms, offering multiple playback speeds is a win—more content consumed means better advertising and sales revenue. But for listeners, the trade-off exists. Audiobook narrator Kimberly Wetherell argues fast playback erodes the “pacing, tone and suspension” of audio performances, and rhetoric often relies on rhythm and pauses to convey meaning. Yet for many, especially young people, fast playback is no longer a choice but a daily habit. 12. Why does the author mention the online debate triggered by the Audible ad? A. To stress that fast listeners are strongly against Audible’s service policies. B. To take a specific example to introduce shifts in digital media consumption habits. C. To compare how actors and comedians differ in choosing playback speeds. D. To explain why Audible’s ad failed to promote its subscription services. 13. What can we conclude from the Canadian meta-analysis about lecture playback speeds? A. Students who listen to lectures at 1.5x speed get better test scores than those at 1x. B. Playback speeds higher than 2x will likely reduce students’ learning effects. C. The “Goldilocks” pace is the most suitable for all lecture scenarios. D. Human brains’ fast information processing allows unlimited fast playback. 14. The underlined word “trade-off” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. A situation where you gain one thing but lose another. B. A decision that must be made between two similar choices. C. A problem that causes trouble for both sides in a relationship. D. A change that improves one aspect without affecting any others. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Fast Playback: Popular Among Young People but Disputed by Experts B. Playback Speed: How Platforms Compete to Meet User Demands C. Fast Playback: A Common Habit Shaped by Age, Science and Platforms D. Playback Speed: What’s the Best Choice for Learning and Entertainment 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。 4 Ways to Make Small Talk with Social Anxiety Social anxiety can make small talk feel daunting. ____16____ But these strategies from a licensed clinical professional counselor Hall-Baldwin can help ease the pressure. ____17____ Before attending networking events or reunions, practice conversations with baristas (咖啡师), waiters, neighbors or co-workers.

Thanksgiving meant four days off. Driving from Ohio to Minnesota took one day, so she could spend two whole days with Emily. Ashley hadn’t seen Emily for five months, since Ashley had moved to Ohio. It felt like forever. Over the phone, Emily talked a lot about a girl named Isabella. Was Isabella Emily’s new best friend? No, Ashley decided. She couldn’t be. Only Ashley knew how to make Emily’s favorite dessert, cranberry-apple pie. Ashley couldn’t wait to get back to Minnesota. Mom glanced up from her computer. “There’s a good chance of snow.” Ashley felt her heart sinking. “Snowplows clear the roads fast. I promised Emily I’d come.” Ashley said, keeping her fingers crossed, “Nothing will go wrong.” On Thanksgiving morning, they got up before the sun and drove, across Illinois and into Wisconsin. Snow began to fall. Little flakes at first, then big, slouchy clumps (大团的雪). The windshield wipers (雨刷) could hardly keep up. Mom pulled into the rest area and parked the car, then turned to Ashley. “We’ll stay here until the roads clear.” said Mom. “It’s Thanksgiving. I brought Emily’s favorite pie. She’s counting on me.” Ashley felt her eyes filling with tears. Mom reached back to squeeze Ashley’s hand. “I’m sorry, sweetie. We can eat pie tomorrow. The rest stop has a lobby and bathrooms and heat, we can sleep on the floor.” Mom pulled her coat on. “Grab your sleeping bag and pillow. It’ll be fun, like camping.” Ashley followed close behind Mom. In the middle of the lobby, a man sat between two little boys on a football blanket. A girl sat with her parents on another blanket next to them. They wore winter coats. “Hello,” said Mom. “Hi” said the girl. “Welcome. Come share our Thanksgiving dinner,” said the father of the two young boys. He pulled sandwiches out of a cooler and set them on the blanket next to some bowls. “We’re sharing our food. I’ve got sandwiches.” “We came from Wisconsin.” The girl’s mom pointed to the other food. “Beef soup and stuffed dumplings,” introduced the girl’s dad. “We’ll buy water and sodas from the vending machine (自动售货机). All we need is dessert.” Ashley thought about Emily’s cranberry-apple pie in the car. “I’ll buy candy bars from those machines,” Mom said. The girl nodded, smiling at Ashley. Ashley had a feeling that meant something like “welcome.” Emily would understand when Ashley explained. Best friends always listened. “We have pie,” Ashley said. “Thanksgiving pie.” 注意： (1)续写词数应150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Ashley laid the cranberry-apple pie on the blanket, it’s golden and fragrant. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The phone suddenly rang as Ashley was sharing the apple juice with the girl beside her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
