One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, “Why are you in my class when it’s obvious that you have little or no ____16____ in chemistry?” I came up with an explanation by ____17____ pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a/an ____18____ excuse. He gave me the following advice. “Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is different. Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor’s or your parents’.

I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet (单簧管) and joined the symphony orchestra (交响乐团). I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that ____27____ has never left me. I’m now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and ____28____ man.

B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time: He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity (逆境). Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labour. It was also in his youth that he learnt to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice(种族歧视). Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away. A few years later, he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals — winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials(预赛). At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that professional athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 36. What do we know about Thorpe? A. He gained athletic skills through easy work. B. His success was no guarantee of a better life. C. His career brought him both gains and losses. D. He suffered many hardships throughout his life. 37. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To protect old cuts on the foot. 38. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A shortage of talent for the sport. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A carefree attitude towards the event. 39. Which of the following can best describe Jim Thorpe? A. Kind and enthusiastic. B. Genuine and creative. C. Tough and strong-willed. D. Selfless and good-tempered. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the history of the Olympic Games. B. To describe the life and achievements of Jim Thorpe. C. To discuss the problem of racial prejudice in sports. D To show how to overcome difficulties in life. C Progress is something that everyone looks forward to, whether in personal life or in society. It represents our ability to change and improve the way we live. Progress is often linked to better ways of doing things. However, this idea of progress holds true only if we embrace technology and continuously seek more efficient ways of doing things. Yet, for many people, especially those who long for the “good old days”, progress inevitably comes with sacrifices. With the rise of new technology, efficiency has greatly improved. Communication, for example, has become much more efficient. Today, people can connect with each other instantly, no matter where they are in the world. With just a click of a button, we can talk or even see each other without leaving our homes. Personal visits, where we spend time together in real life, have become less common. With mobile phones and tablets, people often no longer make the effort to visit friends and family in person, even though face-to-face interactions hold unique value in building closer relationships. Another area where progress brings both benefits and challenges is in mass production. Factories today are much more efficient, thanks to machines and automation. This has allowed goods to be produced in large quantities with greater accuracy than human hands could ever achieve. However, the downside is that this efficiency often comes at the cost of the “personal touch”. Many items that were once handcrafted are now produced in factories. While mass production allows supply to meet demand quickly, it often leads to a decrease in quality. Handcrafted items, for example, are unique and full of character, but mass-produced versions lack individuality and the same level of craftsmanship. Despite these challenges, it is important not to view progress from a one-sided perspective. In fact, progress has also allowed tradition to survive. Modern technology can help preserve old products and techniques, ensuring that traditional crafts are not lost. Through new technology, many old products can be revived and brought back to their original state. Ultimately, it is people’s attitude towards progress that determines the influence technology has on society. Technology itself is flexible — it can be used in various ways depending on how we choose to apply it. The greatest challenges of progress come from those who are unwilling to adapt their mindset and embrace new ideas. When we use progress in a way that fits our needs, we can create a new future while still respecting the past. 41. According to Paragraph 1, what is necessary for progress to occur? A. Rejecting new ideas. B. Holding on to traditional ways. C. Pursuing comfort over innovation. D. Accepting technology and advances steadily. 42. The examples in Paragraph 2 illustrate____________. A. efficiency improvements often come with a price B. technology presents few significant drawbacks C. the “good old days” offered greater efficiency D. face-to-face interactions are unnecessary 43. What does the author say about mass production? A. It has lacked great accuracy. B. It has increased product costs. C. It has reduced individuality in products. D. It has entirely replaced handcrafted items. 44. What is the author’s view on the relationship between progress and tradition? A. Progress often destroys tradition. B. Progress can help protect tradition. C. Progress weakens traditional values. D. Progress and tradition cannot exist together. 45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Technology must be applied in a fixed manner. B. Progress should be adapted to meet societal needs. C. People tend to look back on the past with deep regret. D. The impact of technology depends on people’s attitude. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） When I was in school, the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class. The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment. I simply couldn’t produce art the way she wanted it. Luckily, I’d already proven myself in other creative areas. Yet, that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting, drawing, or anything related to them. Imagine my surprise when I published my nature photography and became a volunteer art teacher! Unfortunately, my story is all too familiar to many people who come through my workshops and practice. Even more unfortunately, the vast majority of people were so discouraged in childhood that they cut off the creative impulse (冲动) in most areas of their lives. Their teachers, parents, or classmates convinced them they had no talent, so they gave up. The pain of failure was simply too great. Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience, not a result? Let’s consider why we express creativity in first place. To be creative is to be human. Everything we’ve at our disposal (处理) is the result of someone’s creative expression and willingness to take a risk. Even so, for creativity to flower and feel free of encumbrance (累赘), it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating, not just about what we’ve to show for those moments. Whatever pattern you need to break, try to make it about the pleasure and not about the outcome. Therefore, I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm! Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression. Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create. Children instinctively (本能地) know how to give over to the joy --- until someone teaches them otherwise! Let your creation be whatever it wants to be. See if it can lead you rather than the other way around. Let your unconsciousness come through, and let the expression of yourself be beautiful regardless of how it compares to anything else. After all, it’s yours, and no one but you could create it! 46. What made the author give up his dream of art? (no more than 15 words) 47. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) 48. Please explain the underlined word “curb” in English. (no more than 5 words) 49. According to the passage, what is necessary for a creative person? (no more than 10 words) 50. Do you think you are more creative as a student? Please give an example. (no more than 25 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 51. 各种博物馆里的藏品与展览都在向我们讲述世界的奥秘。近年来，博物馆受到了更多年轻人的喜爱，很多博物馆也成了热门打卡地。假如你是晨光中学的李津，学校英语俱乐部正在举办主题为 My favourite Museum 的征文活动，请你根据以下信息，写一篇短文投稿。 内容包括： (1)简单介绍你喜爱的博物馆(如它的历史、藏品和展览、对社会的贡献等)； (2)简要分析该博物馆受人喜爱的原因(如展览丰富，多样性强，丰富生活和学习等)； (3)鼓励大家走进博物馆。 要求：(1)词数不少于100； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河西区2025-2026学年度第一学期高二年级期中质量调查 英语试卷 第Ⅰ卷 选择题（满分75分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分15分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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.

A are working B. have been working C. worked D. had worked 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：我们已经做这个项目做了四个小时了。让我们休息一下吧。根据句意可知，项目还没有完成，有可能继续进行下去，符合现在完成进行时的定义，即发生在过去并对现在造成影响，且有可能继续进行下去的动作，用现在完成进行时，故选B。 【点睛】 14. During his stay in Xi’an, Jerry tried almost all the local foods his friends ________, A. would recommend B. had recommended C. have recommended D. were recommending 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：在西安待的那些天，杰瑞几乎尝遍了朋友推荐的所有当地美食。题干中的tried这一动作在过去发生，朋友“推荐”这一动作应该发生在tried之前，即：过去的过去，所以用过去完成时，故选B。 15. I wish to thank Professor Smith, without ________ help I would never have got this far. A. who B. whose C. whom D. which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我想要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助我就不会走得这么远。分析句子可知，本句为定语从句，先行词Professor Smith，在后面定语从句中作help的定语，所以关系代词为whose。故选B项。 第二节：完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31~45各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to success.

He gave me the following advice. “Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is different. Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor’s or your parents’.

I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to ____24____ where my passion was hiding. It was so ____25____ that even my kid sister could have told me. My true passion was music.

There was only one way to find out, so I took my professor’s advice and ____26____ to the university’s music school. I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet (单簧管) and joined the symphony orchestra (交响乐团). I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that ____27____ has never left me. I’m now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and ____28____ man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I ____29____, the photos of the famous musicians I was lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I am honored to call my friends.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章详细介绍了博物馆面向班级的各类参观项目、预约流程、费用标准、陪同要求及参观规则，邀请并引导教师组织学生参与博物馆参观活动，为学生提供兼具教育性与互动性的艺术学习体验。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Learning to Look:”部分中“An interactive tour that explores a variety of arts using storytelling, movements, music, games, and other techniques helps introduce children to a museum.(利用讲故事、动作、音乐、游戏和其他技巧探索各种艺术的互动之旅，帮助孩子们了解博物馆。)”可知，Learning to Look项目帮助儿童认识博物馆，因此，如果老师想让学生了解博物馆是什么，他们会选择Learning to Look。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Planning Your Visit:”部分中“Booking: Booking is necessary for all tours and programs. Please book at least a week in advance.(预订：所有行程和项目都需要预订。请提前至少一周预约。)”可知，在带领学生去博物馆之前，老师需要提前预定。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Program Fees:”部分中“Tours are free for those with Education Membership. There is a charge of $6 per student of non-member organizations. Tours with art activities cost $12 per student (non-members) or $10 per student (members).(持有教育会员资格的人士可以免费参加导览。非会员组织的学生每人收费6美元。含艺术活动的导览费用为非会员学生每人12美元，会员学生每人10美元。)”可知，有教育会员资格的学生参加含有艺术活动的导览费用为每位学生$10，60名学生都有教育会员资格的班级，参加含艺术活动的导览，所需费用为$600（$10×60）；根据“Chaperones(监护人)”部分中“We require one adult chaperone for every 10 children. Chaperones help to make your museum visit a success. A chaperone must pay $5 admission.(我们要求每10个孩子有一个成人监护人。监护人有助于确保您的博物馆参观顺利进行。陪同者必须付$5入场费。)”可知，每10个孩子需要有一个成人保护人，60名学生的班级需要6名保护人，每人入场费用为$5美元，共需$30；因此，一个有60名儿童且持有教育会员资格的班级，参加含艺术活动的导览项目，博物馆应收取费用为$630（$600+$30）。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Lunch: No lunch facilities are available at the museum.(午餐：博物馆无午餐设施。)”可知，博物馆不提供午餐。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Enjoy a museum visit with your class!(和你的班级一起去参观博物馆吧！)”以及全文内容可知，文章详细介绍了博物馆面向班级的各类参观项目、预约流程、费用标准、陪同要求及参观规则等，因此，这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的“旅游与参观”版面。故选D。 B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time: He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity (逆境). Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labour. It was also in his youth that he learnt to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice(种族歧视). Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away. A few years later, he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals — winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials(预赛). At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that professional athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 36. What do we know about Thorpe? A. He gained athletic skills through easy work. B. His success was no guarantee of a better life. C. His career brought him both gains and losses. D. He suffered many hardships throughout his life. 37. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To protect old cuts on the foot. 38. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A shortage of talent for the sport. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A carefree attitude towards the event. 39. Which of the following can best describe Jim Thorpe? A. Kind and enthusiastic. B. Genuine and creative. C. Tough and strong-willed. D. Selfless and good-tempered. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the history of the Olympic Games. B. To describe the life and achievements of Jim Thorpe. C. To discuss the problem of racial prejudice in sports. D. To show how to overcome difficulties in life. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国传奇运动员吉姆·索普（Jim Thorpe）的人生经历、逆境挑战与辉煌成就。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time: He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity (逆境).(吉姆·索普是有史以来最伟大的运动员之一：他拥有惊人的运动能力，一生都很出名，但这并没有使索普成为逆境的陌生人)”、第二段“It was also in his youth that he learnt to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice(种族歧视). Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away. A few years later, he lost both of his parents.(也正是在年轻的时候，他学会了忍受因种族歧视而带来的苦难。很多人会说他的童年并不轻松。他出生在贫困家庭，9岁时双胞胎兄弟离世，几年后，他的父母也相继去世)”以及第三段中“Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage.(就在索普准备参加1912年奥运会的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。他从垃圾堆里临时拼凑了双鞋)”可知，他出生贫困、9岁失去双胞胎兄弟、几年后父母双亡，青年时期遭受种族歧视，奥运会前鞋子被盗，这些均体现他一生历经磨难。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.(就在索普准备参加1912年奥运会的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。他从垃圾堆里临时拼凑了双鞋。这双鞋尺码不一致，于是他在一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡尺码)”可知，捡来的两只鞋大小不一，索普多穿袜子是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials(预赛). At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.(标枪比赛是他唯一没有赢得的项目，可能是因为他之前从未参加过这项比赛。值得一提的是，索普在奥运会预赛中曾尝试过投掷标枪一次。当时，他并不知道自己可以以奔跑的方式投掷标枪。他站着投掷，结果获得了第二名)”可知，他此前从未参加过该项目，在预赛中还不知道可以助跑投掷。由此推知，缺乏该项目经验可能是他未获胜的原因。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It was also in his youth that he learnt to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice (种族歧视). Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away. A few years later, he lost both of his parents.(也正是在年轻的时候，他学会了忍受因种族歧视而带来的苦难。有人会说他的童年并不轻松。他出生在贫困家庭，9岁时双胞胎兄弟离世，几年后，他的父母也相继去世)”以及第三段中“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.(但这一切并没有阻止他去追求自己热爱的事物并实现自己的梦想。没有什么能够阻挡他，就连被偷的鞋子也不例外。就在索普准备参加1912年奥运会的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。他从垃圾堆里临时拼凑了双鞋。这双鞋尺码不一致，于是他在一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡尺码)”可知，面对童年丧亲、种族歧视等多重逆境，吉姆·索普依然追求自己的梦想，鞋子被盗后仍坚持参赛，并在奥运会上夺冠。由此推知，他是一个坚韧不拔、意志坚定的人。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time: He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity (吉姆·索普是有史以来最伟大的运动员之一：他拥有惊人的运动能力，一生都很出名，但这并没有使索普成为逆境的陌生人)”并结合全文可知，文章开篇介绍吉姆·索普是个伟大的运动员但历经逆境，下文详述他的童年经历、种族歧视、参加奥运的故事及成就，结尾引用他人评价总结其精神。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是描述吉姆·索普的一生和成就。故选B。 C Progress is something that everyone looks forward to, whether in personal life or in society. It represents our ability to change and improve the way we live. Progress is often linked to better ways of doing things. However, this idea of progress holds true only if we embrace technology and continuously seek more efficient ways of doing things. Yet, for many people, especially those who long for the “good old days”, progress inevitably comes with sacrifices. With the rise of new technology, efficiency has greatly improved. Communication, for example, has become much more efficient. Today, people can connect with each other instantly, no matter where they are in the world. With just a click of a button, we can talk or even see each other without leaving our homes. Personal visits, where we spend time together in real life, have become less common. With mobile phones and tablets, people often no longer make the effort to visit friends and family in person, even though face-to-face interactions hold unique value in building closer relationships. Another area where progress brings both benefits and challenges is in mass production. Factories today are much more efficient, thanks to machines and automation. This has allowed goods to be produced in large quantities with greater accuracy than human hands could ever achieve. However, the downside is that this efficiency often comes at the cost of the “personal touch”. Many items that were once handcrafted are now produced in factories. While mass production allows supply to meet demand quickly, it often leads to a decrease in quality. Handcrafted items, for example, are unique and full of character, but mass-produced versions lack individuality and the same level of craftsmanship. Despite these challenges, it is important not to view progress from a one-sided perspective. In fact, progress has also allowed tradition to survive. Modern technology can help preserve old products and techniques, ensuring that traditional crafts are not lost. Through new technology, many old products can be revived and brought back to their original state. Ultimately, it is people’s attitude towards progress that determines the influence technology has on society. Technology itself is flexible — it can be used in various ways depending on how we choose to apply it. The greatest challenges of progress come from those who are unwilling to adapt their mindset and embrace new ideas. When we use progress in a way that fits our needs, we can create a new future while still respecting the past. 41. According to Paragraph 1, what is necessary for progress to occur? A. Rejecting new ideas. B. Holding on to traditional ways. C. Pursuing comfort over innovation. D. Accepting technology and advances steadily. 42. The examples in Paragraph 2 illustrate____________. A. efficiency improvements often come with a price B. technology presents few significant drawbacks C. the “good old days” offered greater efficiency D. face-to-face interactions are unnecessary 43. What does the author say about mass production? A. It has lacked great accuracy. B. It has increased product costs. C. It has reduced individuality in products. D. It has entirely replaced handcrafted items. 44. What is the author’s view on the relationship between progress and tradition? A. Progress often destroys tradition. B. Progress can help protect tradition. C. Progress weakens traditional values. D. Progress and tradition cannot exist together. 45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Technology must be applied in a fixed manner. B. Progress should be adapted to meet societal needs. C. People tend to look back on the past with deep regret. D. The impact of technology depends on people’s attitude. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者认为进步往往与更好的做事方式联系在一起，进步有好的方面也有缺点。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Progress is often linked to better ways of doing things. However, this idea of progress holds true only if we embrace technology and continuously seek more efficient ways of doing things.(进步往往与更好的做事方式联系在一起。然而，只有当我们拥抱技术并不断寻求更有效的做事方式时，这种进步的想法才成立)”可知，接受技术以及稳步进步是进步发生的必要条件。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet, for many people, especially those who long for the “good old days”, progress inevitably comes with sacrifices. With the rise of new technology, efficiency has greatly improved. Communication, for example, has become much more efficient. Today, people can connect with each other instantly, no matter where they are in the world. With just a click of a button, we can talk or even see each other without leaving our homes. Personal visits, where we spend time together in real life, have become less common. With mobile phones and tablets, people often no longer make the effort to visit friends and family in person, even though face-to-face interactions hold unique value in building closer relationships.(然而，对许多人来说，尤其是那些渴望“过去的好时光”的人，进步不可避免地伴随着牺牲。随着新技术的兴起，效率大大提高了。例如，通信变得更加高效。今天，人们可以立即相互联系，无论他们在世界的哪个地方。只需点击一个按钮，我们就可以交谈，甚至不用离开家就能看到对方。我们在现实生活中共度时光的私人拜访已经变得不那么常见了。有了手机和平板电脑，人们通常不再亲自去拜访朋友和家人，尽管面对面的互动在建立更亲密的关系方面具有独特的价值)”可知，第二段中的例子说明了效率的提高往往是有代价的。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While mass production allows supply to meet demand quickly, it often leads to a decrease in quality. Handcrafted items, for example, are unique and full of character, but mass-produced versions lack individuality and the same level of craftsmanship.(虽然大规模生产使供应能够迅速满足需求，但它往往导致质量下降。例如，手工制作的物品是独特的，充满个性，但批量生产的版本缺乏个性和相同的工艺水平)”可知，作者认为，大规模生产降低了产品的个性。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In fact, progress has also allowed tradition to survive. Modern technology can help preserve old products and techniques, ensuring that traditional crafts are not lost. Through new technology, many old products can be revived and brought back to their original state.(事实上，进步也让传统得以延续。现代技术可以帮助保存旧产品和技术，确保传统工艺不会丢失。通过新技术，许多老产品可以起死回生，恢复到原来的状态)”可知，作者认为进步有助于保护传统。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, it is people’s attitude towards progress that determines the influence technology has on society. Technology itself is flexible — it can be used in various ways depending on how we choose to apply it. The greatest challenges of progress come from those who are unwilling to adapt their mindset and embrace new ideas. When we use progress in a way that fits our needs, we can create a new future while still respecting the past.(最终，是人们对进步的态度决定了技术对社会的影响。技术本身是灵活的——它可以以各种方式使用，这取决于我们如何选择应用它。进步的最大挑战来自于那些不愿意调整自己的心态和接受新想法的人。当我们以符合我们需要的方式利用进步时，我们可以在尊重过去的同时创造新的未来)”可知，最后一段的主旨是技术的影响取决于人们的态度。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） When I was in school, the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class. The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment. I simply couldn’t produce art the way she wanted it. Luckily, I’d already proven myself in other creative areas. Yet, that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting, drawing, or anything related to them. Imagine my surprise when I published my nature photography and became a volunteer art teacher! Unfortunately, my story is all too familiar to many people who come through my workshops and practice. Even more unfortunately, the vast majority of people were so discouraged in childhood that they cut off the creative impulse (冲动) in most areas of their lives. Their teachers, parents, or classmates convinced them they had no talent, so they gave up. The pain of failure was simply too great. Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience, not a result? Let’s consider why we express creativity in first place. To be creative is to be human. Everything we’ve at our disposal (处理) is the result of someone’s creative expression and willingness to take a risk. Even so, for creativity to flower and feel free of encumbrance (累赘), it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating, not just about what we’ve to show for those moments. Whatever pattern you need to break, try to make it about the pleasure and not about the outcome. Therefore, I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm! Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression. Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create. Children instinctively (本能地) know how to give over to the joy --- until someone teaches them otherwise! Let your creation be whatever it wants to be. See if it can lead you rather than the other way around. Let your unconsciousness come through, and let the expression of yourself be beautiful regardless of how it compares to anything else. After all, it’s yours, and no one but you could create it! 46. What made the author give up his dream of art? (no more than 15 words) 47. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

Or: His teacher convinced him that he had no talent for art. 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience, not a result? Let’s consider why we express creativity in first place. 为什么我们忘记了创造力是一种经验而不是一种结果。”可知“We should enjoy being creative 我们应该享受创造的过程。”符合语境。故填Creativity is an experience, not a result. Or: We should enjoy being creative. 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据后文“Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression. 完美主义是艺术表现的头号杀手。”可知第四段第一句 “Therefore, I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm! 因此，我们应该督促自己去“控制”我们的完美主义思想。” 故填Limit. / Control. / Hold. / Keep...within limits. / Keep...under control。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create. 当你创作的时候，放松一点，找回你童真的本性。”可知“The childlike nature of creativity.” 符合语境。故填The childlike nature of creativity. 【50题详解】 开放题。题目意为：作为学生，你觉得你更有创造力吗？请举个例子。Different people have different ideas. 不同的人有不同的答案。所以，你可以填Yes, perhaps I am. I used to draw a lot of imaginative pictures in childhood. Or: Yes, I often make some interesting handmade things by myself。 【点睛】阅读表达中的开放性问题这种题型是主观性试题。要求考生根据文章涉及的问题，结合个人的观点、经验来回答。此类问题的解答比较容易，考生可根据自己的观点选择较容易回答的来回答。回答此题时必须回答完整，即怎么问就怎么答。注意别出现语法错误。如文中第5小题，题目用的是一般疑问句，所以一定不能丢了yes or no。 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 51. 各种博物馆里的藏品与展览都在向我们讲述世界的奥秘。近年来，博物馆受到了更多年轻人的喜爱，很多博物馆也成了热门打卡地。假如你是晨光中学的李津，学校英语俱乐部正在举办主题为 My favourite Museum 的征文活动，请你根据以下信息，写一篇短文投稿。 内容包括： (1)简单介绍你喜爱的博物馆(如它的历史、藏品和展览、对社会的贡献等)； (2)简要分析该博物馆受人喜爱的原因(如展览丰富，多样性强，丰富生活和学习等)； (3)鼓励大家走进博物馆。 要求：(1)词数不少于100； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My Favourite Museum As a student from Chenguang Middle School, I’m excited to share my favourite museum - the Tianjin Natural History Museum.
