The following three have not only achieved extraordinary personal accomplishments but also brought positive changes to the world. Yuan Longping (1930-2021) Known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping devoted his entire life to the research and development of hybrid rice technology. Born in Beijing, he witnessed the hardship caused by food shortages in his early years, which inspired him to pursue a career in agriculture. In the 1970s, he successfully developed the first high-yielding hybrid rice variety. Over the decades, his technologies have been promoted globally, helping increase rice production significantly. It is estimated that his research has fed tens of millions of people worldwide, making a great contribution to solving the global food security problem. Malala Yousafzai (1997 -) Malala, a Pakistani activist, has been a fearless advocate for girls’ right to education since her childhood. When the Taliban banned girls from going to school in her region, she courageously spoke out against this policy and even wrote blogs to share her experiences. In 2012, she was attacked by the Taliban for her efforts but never gave up. At the age of 17, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner for her unremitting work in promoting girls’ education. She has set up foundations and given speeches around the world to call on governments and societies to pay attention to girls’ education rights. Lionel Messi (1987 -) Regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time, Lionel Messi was born in Argentina. He suffered from a growth hormone deficiency in his childhood, which almost ended his football dream. However, with his outstanding talent and unwavering efforts, he overcame the physical obstacle. During his career, he has won multiple Ballon d’Or awards and led his teams to win numerous important championships, including the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Beyond the football field, he is also involved in charity work, donating money to children’s hospitals and poverty alleviation projects to help those in need. 1. What made Yuan Longping decide to engage in agricultural research? A. His interest in plant varieties. B. The food shortage he witnessed. C. The global food security crisis reports. D. His desire to win agricultural awards. 2. Why did Malala win the Nobel Peace Prize? A. She wrote influential blogs about her life. B. She fought bravely against the Taliban. C. She persisted in promoting girls’ education. D. She set up many foundations for poor children. 3. What do Messi’s and Malala’s experiences have in common? A. They both suffered from serious illnesses. B. They both achieved success through perseverance. C. They both won top awards in their fields. D. They both focused on charity after success. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是三位对现代世界产生深远影响的杰出人物的相关情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yuan Longping (1930-2021)部分“Born in Beijing, he witnessed the hardship caused by food shortages in his early years, which inspired him to pursue a career in agriculture.(他出生在北京，早年目睹了粮食短缺带来的困难，这促使他从事农业事业)”可知，目睹了粮食短缺使袁隆平决定从事农业研究。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Malala Yousafzai (1997 -)部分“At the age of 17, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner for her unremitting work in promoting girls’ education.(17岁时，她因在促进女童教育方面的不懈努力而成为最年轻的诺贝尔和平奖得主)”可知，Malala会获得诺贝尔和平奖是因为她坚持提倡女童教育。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lionel Messi (1987 -)部分“However, with his outstanding talent and unwavering efforts, he overcame the physical obstacle. During his career, he has won multiple Ballon d’ Or awards and led his teams to win numerous important championships, including the FIFA World Cup in 2022.(然而，凭借他杰出的天赋和不懈的努力，他克服了身体上的障碍。在他的职业生涯中，他赢得了多个金球奖，并带领他的球队赢得了许多重要的冠军，包括2022年的FIFA世界杯)”和Malala Yousafzai (1997 -)部分“At the age of 17, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner for her unremitting work in promoting girls’ education.(17岁时，她因在促进女童教育方面的不懈努力而成为最年轻的诺贝尔和平奖得主)”可知，Messi和Malala的经历的共同点是都通过坚持不懈取得了成功。故选B。 B Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to people can be tough. Fortunately, sign language interpreters step in to bridge this gap. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. From a young age, Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing, assisting deaf clients in legal matters. Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often comes across complex legal terms that have no direct match. In such cases, she patiently breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the phrase ‘put out a fire’ is signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Besides hand gestures, facial expressions and mouth movements are essential components of sign language. They work together to accurately communicate messages and prevent misunderstandings. To ensure clarity in legal interpretations, Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individual. “I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood, ” she admitted. Part of Hao’s anxiety comes from the fact that sign language has regional “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. She believes that patience and compassion (同情) are essential to her work. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 4. What can be learned about Hao Shuxin? A. She doesn’t like sign language dialects. B. She hopes to be a successful lawyer in Chongqing. C. She learned sign language when she was very small. D. She communicates with others mainly by sign language. 5. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The vocabulary of sign language is very large. B. It is not easy to express legal terms in sign language. C. It is hard for deaf people to understand the sign language. D. Sign language and Chinese have the same grammar system. 6. What is Hao’s attitude towards her work as a sign language interpreter? A. Doubtful. B. Discouraged. C. Indifferent. D. Passionate. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Sign language is the first language of the deaf. B. A sign language interpreter has changed all deaf people’s life. C. Sign language has different regional dialects. D. A sign language interpreter guards the silent world. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述郝舒欣手语翻译经历，她从小掌握手语，现帮助聋哑人沟通并解决法律问题，展现了手语翻译的意义和挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled.(24岁的郝舒欣（Hao Shuxin）将手语视为自己的第一语言，因为她的父母都是聋人。“我在还不会说话的时候就学会了手语，”她回忆道。)”可知，郝舒欣她在很小的时候就学会了手语。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often comes across complex legal terms that have no direct match.(由于手语词汇量较少，郝经常遇到没有直接对应的复杂法律术语。)”可推知，用手语表达法律术语并不容易。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My parents are deaf, so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them(我的父母都是聋人，所以我理解聋人社区所面临的挑战。我想尽我所能来帮助他们)”可知，她对手语翻译工作是有热诚的，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“From a young age, Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing, assisting deaf clients in legal matters.(从很小的时候起，郝就一直在帮助她的父母和其他聋哑人交流。2018年，她成为重庆一家律师事务所的手语翻译，协助聋人客户处理法律事务。)”可知，文章围绕手语翻译郝舒欣的工作展开，讲述她如何克服词汇、语法、方言等困难，为听障人士搭建沟通桥梁，守护他们的“无声世界”，因此，“一名手语翻译守护无声世界”最能概括文章主旨。故选 D 项。 C Kyoto’s cherry blossoms — or sakura (樱花) — draw crowds from across the world. But this year the flowers bloomed (开花) nearly two weeks in advance. Global warming, largely driven by fossil fuel (化石燃料), stimulated (刺激) temperatures so high in 2023 that it became the hottest year in history. Warmer springs causing earlier blooms is an event in nature not just related to Kyoto’s famous sakuras, but something scientists are also observing elsewhere — including in Washington D. C. Although flowering times vary annually, the long-term trend shows earlier blooming in D. C. “In D. C., the advance in blooming is probably consistent with, but not scientifically credited to, human-caused climate change,” said Gonzalez, a climate change scientist. Other possible causal influences include the urban heat island effect, he noted. That’s where the research in Kyoto is critical. The city’s sakura records go back more than 1,200 years. In 2020, 2021, and 2023, Kyoto’s sakura saw record-early blooms. A 2022 study found that human-caused climate change is the primary reason, pushing that season forward by roughly 11 days. The early beginning of spring and following cherry tree blooms can result in some serious problems that include blossoms mismatching with their pollinators (授粉者). And if winter continues to warm faster than summer in much of the U. S., the amount of exposure to cold weather that a tree requires in its winter period may not be met — resulting in some trees failing to flower at all in the spring. Peak bloom date may be advanced in the future. But the end result of not having any blossoms, if there’s no winter, may happen sooner than we think. Not only are cherry trees a tool for scientists to understand changing temperatures, but the trees’ flowering also represents a “very visible” historical and cultural symbol for people to celebrate the beginning of spring. For those who haven’t had the opportunity to wander under a line of blooming cherry blossom trees, Gonzalez says the experience is similar to “walking through a church.” 8. What do we know about the earlier blooming in D. C.? A. It is likely to cause global warming. B. It leads to urban heat island effect. C. It probably dues to climate change. D. It has proved scientific in some way. 9. What is a possible consequence of earlier blooming? A. The cherry trees will disappear completely. B. Winters will become warmer than summers. C. Pollinators may not match with blossoms. D. Spring will arrive later than before. 10. Why are cherry blossoms important? A. They bring people spiritual comfort. B. They help scientists study climate change. C. They prevent natural disasters. D. They are beautiful to look at. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Cherry Trees Bloom Unusually. B. Scientists Predict Cherry Trees’ Bloom Timing. C. This Year’s Early Cherry Blossom: A Warning Sign. D. Early Cherry Blossom Peak: A Natural Wonder. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是全球变暖导致樱花提前盛开的现象及其带来的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In D. C., the advance in blooming is probably consistent with, but not scientifically credited to, human-caused climate change(在华盛顿特区，花提前开花可能与人类造成的气候变化相一致，但在科学上并没有得到证实)”可知，华盛顿特区早开的花可能与气候变化有关。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The early beginning of spring and following cherry tree blooms can result in some serious problems that include blossoms mismatching with their pollinators (授粉者).(早春和随后的樱花树开花会导致一些严重的问题，包括开花与传粉者不匹配。)”可知，提前开花可能带来的后果是传粉者可能与花朵不匹配。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not only are cherry trees a tool for scientists to understand changing temperatures, but the trees’ flowering also represents a “very visible” historical and cultural symbol for people to celebrate the beginning of spring.(樱花树不仅是科学家了解气温变化的工具，而且樱花树的开花也代表了人们庆祝春天开始的“非常明显”的历史和文化象征。)”可知，樱花树很重要，是因为它们帮助科学家研究气候变化。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Global warming, largely driven by fossil fuel (化石燃料), stimulated (刺激) temperatures so high in 2023 that it became the hottest year in history. Warmer springs causing earlier blooms is an event in nature not just related to Kyoto’s famous sakuras, but something scientists are also observing elsewhere — including in Washington D. C.(主要由化石燃料驱动的全球变暖，使得2023年的气温急剧升高，以至于这一年成为了有历史记录以来最热的一年。春天变暖导致花期提前，这一自然现象不仅与京都著名的樱花有关，科学家们还在其他地方（包括华盛顿特区）观察到了类似情况。)”可知，本文主要讲的是全球变暖导致樱花提前盛开的现象及其带来的影响，因此最好的标题是C选项“This Year’s Early Cherry Blossom: A Warning Sign.(今年樱花开得早：一个警告信号)”。故选C。 D Drone (无人机) light shows are becoming especially popular in the West. By now, if you live on the U. S. East or West Coasts, you’ve probably been troubled by wildfire smoke. The fires are increasing in frequency and intensity as climate change worsens. And fireworks, as you can guess from their name, cause fires — more than you might think. That’s what caused a handful of California towns to quit fireworks and turn to drones last year. Sydney, Australia, known for its massive fireworks display, is considering doing the same due to the risk of wildfires. And fire danger is now top of mind for many U. S. cities as the Independence Day, or the American national day, nears. In addition to reducing the risk of fires, drone light shows present a safer alternative for the folks behind the curtain. Fireworks injured more than 10,000 people last year because they can accidentally erupt while on the ground. Drones won’t. And since light shows are required to keep the ground below the show clear, there’s no risk of a drone falling from the sky into the crowd. Drones are also less disturbing, creating only a light buzzing noise. Fireworks, on the other hand, can burst your eardrum if you’re standing close enough. That’s a nuisance for some families with animals, small children, or other people who are sensitive to noise. But perhaps the biggest reason for the switch to drones is that they’re thought to be greener. Besides starting fires, firework smoke leaves behind a trail of harmful chemicals and is considered a pollutant. Drones are also a reusable option, capable of flying potentially hundreds of shows before they even require maintenance. That’s a huge benefit to the environment — and to the companies paying to put on these performances. At the end of the day, though, some cities are likely switching to drones simply because they’re cooler. That’s not to say that fireworks aren’t cool. But drones allow for more creativity, with the ability to synchronize (同步) lights to music and recreate complex images in the sky. Nevertheless, it’s still too early to rush to the conclusion that drones will completely take the place of fireworks in the near future. 12. Why are fireworks given up in some towns? A. They are too expensive. B. They bring along fire risks. C. They speed up climate change. D. They are not cool any more. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing causes and effects. C. By giving a definition. D. By referring to data from previous studies. 14. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Reward. B. Attraction. C. Instance. D. Annoyance. 15. What will the author probably continue to talk about? A. The potential challenges drones will face. B. The similarities shared by drones and fireworks. C. The importance of drones in promoting economy. D. The strong competition from companies in different industries. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人机灯光秀在西方越来越受欢迎，分析了其受欢迎的原因，包括减少火灾风险、更安全、噪音小、更环保以及更具创意等，同时也指出目前还不能得出无人机将完全取代烟花的结论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“And fireworks, as you can guess from their name, cause fires — more than you might think.(烟花，正如你从它的名字可以猜到的那样，会引起火灾——比你想象的要多)”和第二段中“That’s what caused a handful of California towns to quit fireworks and turn to drones last year. Sydney, Australia, known for its massive fireworks display, is considering doing the same due to the risk of wildfires.(这就是去年加州一些城镇放弃烟花转向无人机的原因。澳大利亚的悉尼以其大规模的烟花表演而闻名，由于野火的风险，正在考虑也这样做)”可知，一些城镇放弃烟花是因为它们会带来火灾风险。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“In addition to reducing the risk of fires, drone light shows present a safer alternative for the folks behind the curtain. Fireworks injured more than 10,000 people last year because they can accidentally erupt while on the ground. Drones won’t.(除了降低火灾风险外，无人机灯光秀还为幕后人员提供了一个更安全的替代方案。去年，烟花造成10000多人受伤，因为它们可能会在地面上意外爆炸。无人机则不会)”可知，本段通过对比烟花和无人机灯光秀在安全性方面的差异，来说明无人机灯光秀的优势。由此推知，作者是通过对比的方式来展开第三段的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Fireworks, on the other hand, can burst your eardrum if you’re standing close enough.(另一方面，如果你站得足够近，烟花可能会震破你的耳膜)”以及后文“for some families with animals, small children, or other people who are sensitive to noise(对于一些有动物、小孩或对噪音敏感的人来说)”可知，烟花的噪音对于一些人来说是令人烦恼的。画线词“nuisance”意思是“令人烦恼的事物”，与Annoyance同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, it’s still too early to rush to the conclusion that drones will completely take the place of fireworks in the near future.(然而，现在就急于得出无人机将在不久的将来完全取代烟花的结论还为时过早)”可知，作者认为现在还不能得出无人机将完全取代烟花的结论，由此推知，接下来作者可能会继续谈论无人机面临的挑战。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Tips for Upcoming Senior Two The upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. ____16____ ●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side . On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .” 【解析】 【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。 2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 选择：choose/make a choice/make an option 增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence 解决：solve/work out/tackle 情绪类： 充满信心：be confident/be full of confidence 高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight 感到困惑：be at a loss/be confused/be confounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年11月高二年级月考试题 (英语) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号码填写在答题卡上。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂;非选择题必须使用0. 5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 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，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.

The following three have not only achieved extraordinary personal accomplishments but also brought positive changes to the world. Yuan Longping (1930-2021) Known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping devoted his entire life to the research and development of hybrid rice technology. Born in Beijing, he witnessed the hardship caused by food shortages in his early years, which inspired him to pursue a career in agriculture. In the 1970s, he successfully developed the first high-yielding hybrid rice variety. Over the decades, his technologies have been promoted globally, helping increase rice production significantly. It is estimated that his research has fed tens of millions of people worldwide, making a great contribution to solving the global food security problem. Malala Yousafzai (1997 -) Malala, a Pakistani activist, has been a fearless advocate for girls’ right to education since her childhood. When the Taliban banned girls from going to school in her region, she courageously spoke out against this policy and even wrote blogs to share her experiences. In 2012, she was attacked by the Taliban for her efforts but never gave up. At the age of 17, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner for her unremitting work in promoting girls’ education. She has set up foundations and given speeches around the world to call on governments and societies to pay attention to girls’ education rights. Lionel Messi (1987 -) Regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time, Lionel Messi was born in Argentina. He suffered from a growth hormone deficiency in his childhood, which almost ended his football dream. However, with his outstanding talent and unwavering efforts, he overcame the physical obstacle. During his career, he has won multiple Ballon d’Or awards and led his teams to win numerous important championships, including the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Beyond the football field, he is also involved in charity work, donating money to children’s hospitals and poverty alleviation projects to help those in need. 1. What made Yuan Longping decide to engage in agricultural research? A. His interest in plant varieties. B. The food shortage he witnessed. C. The global food security crisis reports. D. His desire to win agricultural awards. 2. Why did Malala win the Nobel Peace Prize? A. She wrote influential blogs about her life. B. She fought bravely against the Taliban. C. She persisted in promoting girls’ education. D. She set up many foundations for poor children. 3. What do Messi’s and Malala’s experiences have in common? A. They both suffered from serious illnesses. B. They both achieved success through perseverance. C They both won top awards in their fields. D. They both focused on charity after success. B Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to people can be tough. Fortunately, sign language interpreters step in to bridge this gap. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. From a young age, Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing, assisting deaf clients in legal matters. Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often comes across complex legal terms that have no direct match. In such cases, she patiently breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the phrase ‘put out a fire’ is signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Besides hand gestures, facial expressions and mouth movements are essential components of sign language. They work together to accurately communicate messages and prevent misunderstandings. To ensure clarity in legal interpretations, Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individual. “I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood, ” she admitted. Part of Hao’s anxiety comes from the fact that sign language has regional “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. She believes that patience and compassion (同情) are essential to her work. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 4. What can be learned about Hao Shuxin? A. She doesn’t like sign language dialects. B. She hopes to be a successful lawyer in Chongqing. C. She learned sign language when she was very small. D. She communicates with others mainly by sign language. 5. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The vocabulary of sign language is very large. B. It is not easy to express legal terms in sign language. C. It is hard for deaf people to understand the sign language. D. Sign language and Chinese have the same grammar system. 6. What is Hao’s attitude towards her work as a sign language interpreter? A. Doubtful. B. Discouraged. C. Indifferent. D. Passionate. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Sign language is the first language of the deaf. B. A sign language interpreter has changed all deaf people’s life. C. Sign language has different regional dialects. D. A sign language interpreter guards the silent world. C Kyoto’s cherry blossoms — or sakura (樱花) — draw crowds from across the world. But this year the flowers bloomed (开花) nearly two weeks in advance. Global warming, largely driven by fossil fuel (化石燃料), stimulated (刺激) temperatures so high in 2023 that it became the hottest year in history. Warmer springs causing earlier blooms is an event in nature not just related to Kyoto’s famous sakuras, but something scientists are also observing elsewhere — including in Washington D. C. Although flowering times vary annually, the long-term trend shows earlier blooming in D. C. “In D. C., the advance in blooming is probably consistent with, but not scientifically credited to, human-caused climate change,” said Gonzalez, a climate change scientist. Other possible causal influences include the urban heat island effect, he noted. That’s where the research in Kyoto is critical. The city’s sakura records go back more than 1,200 years. In 2020, 2021, and 2023, Kyoto’s sakura saw record-early blooms. A 2022 study found that human-caused climate change is the primary reason, pushing that season forward by roughly 11 days. The early beginning of spring and following cherry tree blooms can result in some serious problems that include blossoms mismatching with their pollinators (授粉者). And if winter continues to warm faster than summer in much of the U. S., the amount of exposure to cold weather that a tree requires in its winter period may not be met — resulting in some trees failing to flower at all in the spring. Peak bloom date may be advanced in the future. But the end result of not having any blossoms, if there’s no winter, may happen sooner than we think. Not only are cherry trees a tool for scientists to understand changing temperatures, but the trees’ flowering also represents a “very visible” historical and cultural symbol for people to celebrate the beginning of spring. For those who haven’t had the opportunity to wander under a line of blooming cherry blossom trees, Gonzalez says the experience is similar to “walking through a church.” 8. What do we know about the earlier blooming in D. C.? A. It is likely to cause global warming. B. It leads to urban heat island effect. C. It probably dues to climate change. D. It has proved scientific in some way. 9. What is a possible consequence of earlier blooming? A The cherry trees will disappear completely. B. Winters will become warmer than summers. C. Pollinators may not match with blossoms. D. Spring will arrive later than before. 10. Why are cherry blossoms important? A. They bring people spiritual comfort. B. They help scientists study climate change. C. They prevent natural disasters. D. They are beautiful to look at. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Cherry Trees Bloom Unusually. B. Scientists Predict Cherry Trees’ Bloom Timing. C. This Year’s Early Cherry Blossom: A Warning Sign. D. Early Cherry Blossom Peak: A Natural Wonder. D Drone (无人机) light shows are becoming especially popular in the West. By now, if you live on the U. S. East or West Coasts, you’ve probably been troubled by wildfire smoke. The fires are increasing in frequency and intensity as climate change worsens. And fireworks, as you can guess from their name, cause fires — more than you might think. That’s what caused a handful of California towns to quit fireworks and turn to drones last year. Sydney, Australia, known for its massive fireworks display, is considering doing the same due to the risk of wildfires. And fire danger is now top of mind for many U. S. cities as the Independence Day, or the American national day, nears. In addition to reducing the risk of fires, drone light shows present a safer alternative for the folks behind the curtain. Fireworks injured more than 10,000 people last year because they can accidentally erupt while on the ground. Drones won’t. And since light shows are required to keep the ground below the show clear, there’s no risk of a drone falling from the sky into the crowd. Drones are also less disturbing, creating only a light buzzing noise. Fireworks, on the other hand, can burst your eardrum if you’re standing close enough. That’s a nuisance for some families with animals, small children, or other people who are sensitive to noise. But perhaps the biggest reason for the switch to drones is that they’re thought to be greener. Besides starting fires, firework smoke leaves behind a trail of harmful chemicals and is considered a pollutant. Drones are also a reusable option, capable of flying potentially hundreds of shows before they even require maintenance. That’s a huge benefit to the environment — and to the companies paying to put on these performances. At the end of the day, though, some cities are likely switching to drones simply because they’re cooler. That’s not to say that fireworks aren’t cool. But drones allow for more creativity, with the ability to synchronize (同步) lights to music and recreate complex images in the sky. Nevertheless, it’s still too early to rush to the conclusion that drones will completely take the place of fireworks in the near future. 12. Why are fireworks given up in some towns? A They are too expensive. B. They bring along fire risks. C. They speed up climate change. D. They are not cool any more. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing causes and effects. C. By giving a definition. D. By referring to data from previous studies. 14. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Reward. B. Attraction. C. Instance. D. Annoyance. 15. What will the author probably continue to talk about? A. The potential challenges drones will face. B. The similarities shared by drones and fireworks. C. The importance of drones in promoting economy. D. The strong competition from companies in different industries. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Tips for Upcoming Senior Two The upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. ____16____ ●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
