C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍“课堂使用新闻”周刊的内容构成、使用方法及订阅方式，为特定用户提供教学辅助参考。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We’re happy to introduce News for Classroom Use: a weekly newsletter with a piece of news and activities based on it which you can use as a warm-up, a filler or a wrap-up task. (我们很高兴介绍《课堂使用新闻》：这是一份周刊，包含一则新闻及基于该新闻的活动，你可将其用作热身、过渡或收尾任务。)”以及INTRO部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (根据这则特定新闻配套的活动安排，你或许需要向学生宣读它，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据。)”以及ACTIVITY 部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (你或许需要把它读给学生听，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据 —— 具体如何使用，取决于与这则特定新闻搭配的活动是什么。)”可知，文中多次出现“你的学生”、“教学”等与教师相关的表述，由此可推断，该文本的目标读者是教师。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stories covered in the newsletter range from breaking news to more evergreen content which you will be able to go back to according to your students’ needs.(该周刊涵盖的新闻故事从突发新闻到长期适用的内容不等，你可根据学生需求反复使用这些内容。)”可知，周刊包含可反复使用的内容，即提供可重复利用的阅读材料。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据ACTIVITY 部分中的“If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. (如果您教授水平较低的学生（初学者），可以使用较简单的问题，或者直接让学生说出他们对这则新闻的看法。)”可知，向初学者推荐的活动是让他们表达自己的观点。故选C项。 B Born in Xi’an, the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xu Wen never imagined that a casual visit to an English antique shop would tie her to the route’s western end. Two decades ago, she and her British husband, Alastair Blackburn, were immediately captivated by three small, vividly colored, finely detailed paintings. Upon close examination, the couple found they weren’t just ordinary watercolors, as the paper was unique, and the pigments (颜料) seemed mineral-based. They bought the works on the spot. These pieces marked the couple’s first encounter with Tongcao painting, or pith painting, which served as a window to 19th-century China, an era without cameras. Tongcao paintings are created on dried pith from a rice paper plant, whose honeycombed texture differs sharply from fibrous ordinary paper. This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match. Xu later explained that these artworks were like “Eastern postcards” made by Guangzhou artisans. When Guangzhou was China’s only port open to Western trade, painters adapted Western styles to depict daily life, festivals, and customs for curious Western merchants. Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops, auctions, and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces depicting 19th-century Chinese life and customs. Their passion led them to build a museum in 2023, which was opened in a renovated historical building in Macclesfield — Blackburn’s hometown, long recognized as the Silk Road’s western terminus. “This museum bridges the two ends of the Silk Road,” Xu said. Many Chinese visitors have come and appreciated in person the town’s long history with China through the museum and the way local shops and cultural centers celebrated their ties to the Silk Road, Blackburn observed. To further promote this heritage, the couple founded the Silk Road Foundation in 2023 and invited students to copy Tongcao works. Xu also collaborated with schools in Xi’an, hoping to pass on this intangible culture. “These paintings are living history,” she said, “We must make sure they keep telling their stories of East-West connection.” 4. What made Tongcao paintings attractive to the couple? A. Its special paper. B. Its low price. C. Its interesting contents. D. Its artistic form. 5. What does the underlined word “amassing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Accumulating. B. Selling. C. Sorting. D. Donating. 6. Why did the couple set up the Silk Road Foundation? A. To attract Chinese tourists to boost local culture. B. To preserve the rare material used in Tongcao artwork. C. To carry forward the legacy of intangible cultural heritage. D. To display their extensive collection of Tongcao paintings. 7. Which saying best reflects the main idea of the passage? A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. B. East meets West and a bridge is built. C. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. D. We don’t inherit the earth, but borrow it from our children. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了出生在西安的许雯和她的英国丈夫因一次偶然的机会接触到通草画，进而被吸引并花费20年时间收集此类画作，还建立博物馆、成立基金会来传承东西方文化交流遗产的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Tongcao paintings are created on dried pith from a rice paper plant, whose honeycombed texture differs sharply from fibrous ordinary paper. This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match.(通草画是用通草树的干通草髓创作的，其蜂窝状纹理与纤维状的普通纸有很大不同。这种独特的材料可以防止水彩渗入；相反，颜料停留在表面，产生一种微妙的三维效果，这是现代复制品难以企及的。)”可知，通草画的特殊纸张让这对夫妇觉得它很有吸引力。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops, auctions, and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces depicting 19th-century Chinese life and customs.(这对夫妇被这个被遗忘的跨文化交流篇章所吸引，花了20年时间收集通草画。他们在欧洲各地的古董店、拍卖会和私人收藏中搜寻，最终amassing了2000多件描绘19世纪中国生活和风俗的作品。)”可知，这对夫妇花了20年时间收集通草画，最终收集到了2000多件作品，由此可推知，amassing意为“积累，收集”，与accumulating意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To further promote this heritage, the couple founded the Silk Road Foundation in 2023 and invited students to copy Tongcao works. Xu also collaborated with schools in Xi’an, hoping to pass on this intangible culture.(为了进一步推广这一遗产，这对夫妇在2023年成立了丝绸之路基金会，并邀请学生临摹通草画作品。徐雯还与西安的学校合作，希望将这种非物质文化遗产传承下去。)”可知，这对夫妇成立丝绸之路基金会是为了传承非物质文化遗产的遗产。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中““These paintings are living history,” she said, “We must make sure they keep telling their stories of East-West connection.”(“这些画是活生生的历史，”她说，“我们必须确保它们继续讲述东西方联系的故事。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了许雯和她的英国丈夫因通草画与丝绸之路结缘，并致力于传承东西方文化交流遗产的故事，B选项“East meets West and a bridge is built.(东西方相遇，架起了一座桥梁。)”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。 C Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C. Invisible payments have improved mental health. D. Installments ease the emotional spending burden. 9. What may BNPL result in? A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit. C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses. 10. How can we build healthier financial habits? A. Value financial education. B. Hide feelings of shame. C. Mask people’s financial stress. D. Highlight debt-related problems. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption B. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. (但有了Klarna或Clearpay支付服务，你现在可以分三期付款购买新手机，几乎察觉不到差别。这不仅仅是一种购物习惯；这反映了我们今天与金钱的关系。我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担)”可知，作者指出，分期付款减少了人们消费时的心理负担。故选D项。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. (心理学家发现，当支付行为与购买行为分开时，我们经历的“支付之痛”就会减少，这使我们更有可能超支。在数字信贷容易获得但金融教育有限的社会，这种行为可能会陷入长期债务)”可知，“先买后付”可能导致超支和长期债务。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. (金融教育应该在学校中被视为必不可少的。此外，我们应该使债务相关的对话正常化，以减轻人们的羞耻感)”可知，作者建议加强金融教育，而非掩盖羞耻感、掩饰财务压力，或强调债务问题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. (我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担。此外，我们的心理健康正受到这种悄然转变的深刻影响)”和最后一段“We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. (我们生活在一个看不见金钱的世界。但它带来的情感负担是非常真实的。如果我们开始注意到这种成本，我们可能最终不仅把钱当作一种资源，而且把它当作一种深刻的心理东西)”可知，文章围绕“金钱的情感成本”展开，指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。因此，B项“金钱的情感成本：超越无形支付”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A. They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了汽车中触摸屏与物理按钮的对比，通过研究数据和安全指南表明物理按钮在操作安全性上的优势，并提及汽车内部控制方式将持续创新。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder.(驾驶员熟悉物理控件的位置，无需移开注视路面的视线即可完成按键操作。而触控屏无法提供实体反馈，使得操作难度显著增加)”可知，与触摸屏相比，实体按钮的优势在于司机无需转移视线即可操作。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds.(在旧款车上，司机能在大约10秒内完成所有任务，而表现最差的现代汽车需要45秒)”可知，2022年的研究中耗时最长的是表现最差的现代汽车。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons.(2022年，瑞典汽车杂志《Vi Bilagare》测量了司机在以每小时110公里的速度行驶时，调节温度等操作所需的时间。该研究将11辆配备触摸屏的汽车与一辆配备实体按钮的旧款车型进行了比较)”和第四段中“Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen.(2024年，挪威的研究人员进行了另一项研究，他们使用追踪摄像头来比较司机在使用触摸屏执行不同任务时的分心时间)”可知，作者通过引用瑞典和挪威的研究数据，对比触摸屏与实体按钮的操作效率，进而证明实体按钮更安全。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story.(传统汽车制造商已经开始在新车型中恢复一些按钮。但创新从未停止。尽管触摸屏逐渐失宠，但许多制造商已将注意力转向语音控制——不过这是另一个话题了)”可知，汽车内部控制方式正经历从触摸屏到语音控制的持续创新。故选D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。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? ______16______ Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. ______17______ One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures. ___18___ They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive. Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. _____19_____ Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences. Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. ___20___ A. Try to change how you handle these activities. B. Living activities are the activities that stretch you. C. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. D. Unbearable activities are the things that leave you drained. E. The goal is to replace distracted moments with engaged ones. F. This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. G. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了追求更充实生活的关键不在于“做更多事”，而在于“以不同的方式 做事”。 【16题详解】 空格前文提出问题“What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently?(倘若通往更充实生活的关键并非在于做更多的事情，而是在于采取不同的方式呢？)”以及后文将活动分为不同的类型。因此，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，既能承接“doing differently”的概念，又能引出下文对活动类型的分析。F选项“这一过程首先是要认识到并非所有的活动对我们产生的影响都是相同的”既回答了“如何做到不同”，又引出了下文的活动分类，符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello.(令人愉悦的活动往往不需要花费太多精力，却能带来丰厚的回报。你无需提前精心规划，也不需要占用整个下午的时间。这可以是一次在大自然中的漫步，听听你最喜欢的音乐，或者只是给朋友打个电话问候一下)”以及后文“One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures.(关于“乐趣”的最大误解在于，人们认为乐趣必须是某种重大的活动。但事实上，最能让人恢复精力的时刻往往来自于那些平凡的、日常的小享受之中)”可知，上文对令人愉悦的活动进行了说明，空格后文则是在总结这类活动的特点，G选项中的“These”指代前文的例子。故G选项“这些是简单而纯粹的快乐，不需要太多投入，却能带来实实在在的满足感”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive.(起初可能会觉得有些困难，但它们与你的价值观相符，能给你带来真正的意义感。这可能是学习一项新技能，它能让你走出舒适区。这类经历比那些让人愉悦的活动需要付出更多的努力，但它们往往能让我们感觉更加充满活力)”可知，本段论述的主要是成长型的活动。B选项“成长活动是那些让你延伸自我的活动”是对这类活动的定义，与后文内容相符。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction.(“消耗性活动”指的是那些所需付出的精力较少，但带来的满足感却很少的活动)”可知，空格前文定义“Yielding activities”并指出其特点。C选项给出例子“想想那些无意识地刷社交媒体”，它完全符合“低努力、低满足”的定义，并能与后文的“查看邮箱”例子并列。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values.(一旦你对目前自己的时间使用情况进行了反思，就试着每天做出一个小小的改变。选择一项让你感到愉悦或有益的生活活动，哪怕只是简单的短距离散步或者尝试一些符合你价值观的新事物也行)”可知，前文建议读者每天做一个小的改变，选择一个“愉悦”或“成长”活动来做。E选项“目标是用专注的时刻替换分心的时刻”总结全文，并与文章开头提出的“感觉疲惫、心烦意乱、不满足”的问题形成了首尾呼应。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Karen, 16, was a college freshman in a local university. She was thrilled to earn a ___21___ in the renowned choir for their international tour. However, ___22___ overcame her when she overslept before a key performance at a distant church.

A more poetic one comes from Chef Steph Li, the owner of Savory Kitchen, ____36____ describes it as a quality achieved from “that ____37____ (mystery) taste of the restaurant oil and the ___38___ (noticeable) deeper restaurant browning.” My dad has always been a wok hei lover — that restaurant magic is his gold standard. Wok hei can only happen when food ____39____ (cook) at very high heat. Unfortunately, that heat is hard to achieve on a home stove top. ____40____ a professional cook, I’ve spent 15 years ____41____ (experiment) with wok hei in a home kitchen. Last year, I finally got there. The secret doesn’t just come from using a hot stove top. It’s also important to use the right kind of woks — and Steph Li expresses a preference for ____42____ (one) made with carbon steel. There are two extra things a home cook can do: One is to add soy sauce around the edge of the wok ____43____ (give) food a “seared (焦的) soy sauce flavor”. The second is to take a kitchen torch (火枪) in a method called “torch hei” — that involves spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet ____44____ “giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch”. When I cook with a carbon steel wok and add some seared soy sauce to the mix, I can almost smell ____45____ breath of the wok — and suddenly, it’s like I hear my dad pushing open my kitchen door, saying, “I like the food here.” 【答案】36. who 37. mysterious 38. noticeably 39. is cooked 40.

A year ago, I signed up for our school’s English Debate Club. At first, I lacked confidence. Thankfully, my teammates were incredibly supportive — they encouraged me to look for debate resources online and break down different perspectives on each topic. After months of consistent practice, I slowly grew more confident, and I could finally express my ideas clearly during debates. I’ve gained two important takeaways from the experience. First, learning English through real-life scenarios like debates helps you master English much faster. Second, learning English in a group means you can get timely help when you’re stuck. I hope my story can give you some useful inspiration, and I wish you great fun in your English learning!

All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly. An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift. I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice. He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse. He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity. I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet. 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。 Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Somehow, he noticed me singing along. He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth. I slipped the rolled bill into his rough hand, and he gave me a grateful nod. Then, leaning closer, he whispered, “Sing with me, sister.” Without hesitation, I joined him. Our voices blended, his strong and soulful, mine soft but steady. For a moment, the crowded train car felt like a tiny concert hall, filled not with heat and impatience, but with harmony. It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. One by one, passengers lifted their heads, listening. The young boy’s swaying turned into clapping, his laughter breaking through the dull silence. A few others began humming along, and even his mother put down her phone. When the song ended, coins and bills appeared in the man’s cap from every direction. He stood taller, pride glowing in his smile, and I felt a quiet joy — proof that even in a weary city, music could open hearts and bring strangers together. 【解析】 【导语】故事以人物为线索展开，讲述纽约市炎热的一天，作者和朋友吃早午餐、取新眼镜后乘火车返程。车上一位衣衫陈旧但整洁的黑人老先生主动问候众人并唱歌，多数乘客无视他，作者却很喜欢这如同礼物的音乐，还跟着轻声和声，打算把钱包里的5美元给他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“不知怎么的，他注意到我在跟着唱。”可知，接下来可描写他靠近作者，并邀请作者一起合唱，他们歌声改变了车厢的氛围。 ②根据第二段首句“车里仍然又热又粘，但有些事情发生了变化。”可知，接下来可描写乘客们的变化（注视着、跟着哼唱、给钱）以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：他注意到作者——靠近作者并邀请合唱——改变车厢的氛围——乘客们也加入（有的注视着、有的哼唱）——作者的感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①走向：walk toward/approach ②交织：blend/mix ③抬起：lift/raise 情绪类 ①温情：warmth/affection ②感激：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth.（运用了“名词+现在分词”的独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】 He stood taller, pride glowing in his smile, and I felt a quiet joy — proof that even in a weary city, music could open hearts and bring strangers together.（运用了that引导的同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门六中2025—2026学年第一学期高三11月阶段检测 英语试卷 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 命题时间：2025年11月 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Born in Xi’an, the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xu Wen never imagined that a casual visit to an English antique shop would tie her to the route’s western end. Two decades ago, she and her British husband, Alastair Blackburn, were immediately captivated by three small, vividly colored, finely detailed paintings. Upon close examination, the couple found they weren’t just ordinary watercolors, as the paper was unique, and the pigments (颜料) seemed mineral-based. They bought the works on the spot. These pieces marked the couple’s first encounter with Tongcao painting, or pith painting, which served as a window to 19th-century China, an era without cameras. Tongcao paintings are created on dried pith from a rice paper plant, whose honeycombed texture differs sharply from fibrous ordinary paper. This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match. Xu later explained that these artworks were like “Eastern postcards” made by Guangzhou artisans. When Guangzhou was China’s only port open to Western trade, painters adapted Western styles to depict daily life, festivals, and customs for curious Western merchants. Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops, auctions, and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces depicting 19th-century Chinese life and customs. Their passion led them to build a museum in 2023, which was opened in a renovated historical building in Macclesfield — Blackburn’s hometown, long recognized as the Silk Road’s western terminus. “This museum bridges the two ends of the Silk Road,” Xu said. Many Chinese visitors have come and appreciated in person the town’s long history with China through the museum and the way local shops and cultural centers celebrated their ties to the Silk Road, Blackburn observed. To further promote this heritage, the couple founded the Silk Road Foundation in 2023 and invited students to copy Tongcao works. Xu also collaborated with schools in Xi’an, hoping to pass on this intangible culture. “These paintings are living history,” she said, “We must make sure they keep telling their stories of East-West connection.” 4. What made Tongcao paintings attractive to the couple? A. Its special paper. B. Its low price. C. Its interesting contents. D. Its artistic form. 5. What does the underlined word “amassing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Accumulating. B. Selling. C. Sorting. D. Donating. 6. Why did the couple set up the Silk Road Foundation? A. To attract Chinese tourists to boost local culture. B. To preserve the rare material used in Tongcao artwork. C. To carry forward the legacy of intangible cultural heritage. D. To display their extensive collection of Tongcao paintings. 7. Which saying best reflects the main idea of the passage? A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. B. East meets West and a bridge is built. C. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. D. We don’t inherit the earth, but borrow it from our children. C Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C.

Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 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。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences.

A more poetic one comes from Chef Steph Li, the owner of Savory Kitchen, ____36____ describes it as a quality achieved from “that ____37____ (mystery) taste of the restaurant oil and the ___38___ (noticeable) deeper restaurant browning.” My dad has always been a wok hei lover — that restaurant magic is his gold standard. Wok hei can only happen when food ____39____ (cook) at very high heat. Unfortunately, that heat is hard to achieve on a home stove top. ____40____ a professional cook, I’ve spent 15 years ____41____ (experiment) with wok hei in a home kitchen.

When I cook with a carbon steel wok and add some seared soy sauce to the mix, I can almost smell ____45____ breath of the wok — and suddenly, it’s like I hear my dad pushing open my kitchen door, saying, “I like the food here.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节应用文（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你加入学校英语辩论社一年来，英语进步很大。请你写一篇发言稿，在班级英语学习经验交流会上分享，内容包括：（1）你的经历；（2）你的收获和启发。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear classmates, I’m glad to share my English learning journey with all of you. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you! 第二节读后续写（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。 It was a hot day in New York City. I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly. An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift. I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice. He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse. He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity. I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet. 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。 Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
