Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters,in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower.For two decades,the public knew nothing about this vital work,which went on behind the scenes,though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles:a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom.But in 2023,she published a best-selling book about her career,When the Dust Settles,and that changed.People became very interested in what she did. "At literary festivals,most authors get questions about their writing process,"Easthope says."But I wouldn't get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have.Wasn't I afraid?How did I handle it?I would tell them that I didn't live afraid,and I would give them basic advice.But this wasn't enough."In the end,she felt she had no choice but to write a second book,one in which she would try to distill )all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience ()the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready,she suggests,is a better one.Easthope also reminds people that small things,like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies,still matter.She encourages people to remember,not to forget,what happened during disasters,because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 英语试题卷第3页（共8页） 24.What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A.Severe and forbidding. B.Modest and outgoing. C.Sincere and energetic. D.Cheerful and approachable. 25.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope's work in 2023? A.Her sudden rise to fame through the media. B.The release of a bestseller. C.Her involvement in the 2004 tsunami relief. D.The growth of professional disaster circles. 26.Why are readers'questions cited in paragraph 3? A.To reveal Easthope's personal fears. B.To explain Easthope's writing process. C.To show Easthope's writing motivation. D.To present public doubts about Easthope's work. 27.What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A.Resilience matters most. B.Forgetting aids recovery. C.Positive thinking takes the lead. D.Minor sufferings deserve attention. C Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life,and mastering them can significantly benefit our social,work,and personal environments.Communication is a complex ()process,with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood.Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive. Unlike verbal language,body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously.It can share emotions more directly than words.For example,a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness,while leaning back means being not interested.Even small movements,like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact,can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide Gestures are a valuable component of body language,aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions.Skillful use of gestures can help show passion,support understanding,and maintain engagement()within a group setting.Descriptive gestures,such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication.These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations. However,too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings.The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant,naturally adding to the verbal message.Practicing consistency ()in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message,enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members. Despite its importance,common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation.A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues ()many think crossed arms equal defensiveness,but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold.Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest,but it could result from cultural respect for others.These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors. 28.What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language? A.Words share emotions more directly. B.Verbal language is more widely used. C.They have the same cultural meanings. D.Body language is more truthful at times. 英语试题卷第4页（共8页） 29.How can descriptive gestures help group interactions? A.Hiding nervousness easily. B.Clarifying the group setting. C.Emphasizing key points. D.Avoiding communication mistakes. 30.What does the author suggest in paragraph 4? A.Be mindful of overusing gestures. B.Use certain gestures on purpose. C.Maintain unity in language tones D.Stick to your intended message. 31.Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues? A.They are often influenced by others. B.They fail to understand other factors. C.They are used to observing contexts. D.They have simple communication skills. D Crowded by defenders,Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high,jump toward the basket.For a moment,he seems to hang in the air.Then,he pushes the ball down through the basket-a slam dunk()!His career may look like a slam dunk,being a national champion at the University of Connecticut,and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However,life wasn't always easy for him.His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata ()which isn't infectious.It happens when the body's immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells.Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12.This made him a target for bullying ()leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother,Charlie found refuge in basketball.He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition.The bullying stopped,and his basketball career took off. All along the way,Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others.Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation,and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation,an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic,he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves."We're all unique in our own ways,"he says,encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief,any dream is within reach. 32.Why is Charlie's slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A.To compare him with other champions. B.To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C.To highlight his skills and achievements. D.To show a specific moment in a game. 33.What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A.An infectious skin disease. B.His being made fun of. C.An error in the immune system. D.His average ability to play basketball. 34.Which of the following best describes Charlie? A.Strong-willed and helpful. B.Strict and responsible. C.Warm-hearted and humorous. D.Independent and creative. 35.What message does the author want to express in the text? A.Luck often comes to those who are ready. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.A thousand-mile journey begins with the first step. D.What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 英语试题卷第5页（共8页） 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。 Becoming a super learner is one of the most important skills you need to succeed in the 21st century.In the age of technological change,staying ahead depends on continual self-education-a lifelong mastery of new skills,and ideas.36 Super learners read a lot. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.It gives us the freedom to travel through space and time,and offers a deeper view of ideas and knowledge.In fact,many of the most successful people share this appreciation for reading.37 Super learners view learning as a process. Learning is a journey,a discovery of new knowledge,not a final stop.It's an enjoyable lifelong process that super learners value.38 Instead,they keep mastering new principles,processes,worldviews,thinking models,etc.The "ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge is important for their growth." 39 Keeping your brain healthy keeps it sharp.What you do or don't do for your brain can significantly change how you record and process information.Everyone wants to live an active life for as long as possible,which depends on brain health. Fruit,vegetables and protein from fish can slow the decline and protect a healthy brain. Super learners take short breaks,early and often. According to recent research,taking short breaks,early and often,is likely to help you learn things better.40 "Anything less than 30 is just not enough,but anything more than 50 is too much information for your brain to take in at one time,”hey say.. A.Experts recommend 30~50 minutes sessions. B.Super learners have a growth mindset. C.Super learners take care of their brains. D.They don't have an end goal. E.Better learning approaches can make the learning process enjoyable. F.Elon Musk grew up reading two books a day,and Bill Gates reads 50 books per year. G.If you aim to learn a new skill,some of these habits can be useful for you. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My son "graduated"from elementary school this week.I put the word in quotations()because as a rising 6th grader, he wasn't receiving a 41-and because the school used a 42 term to describe the milestone.On reflection,the school's term felt even more 43 than the traditional name of the 44 of one stage of a person's education:they called it Moving On. At the Moving On Ceremony,each member of the 5th grade class 45 one sentence of reflection on what they were thankful for or would 46 about their primary school years.One 47 words caught my attention-he said he was 48 for what he called "a step on the ladder".I was really 49 by this 11-year-old's ability to summarize the emotional heart of the "moving on"moment.That was totally beyond my imagination. 英语试题卷第6页（共8页） Growing up is the work of a 50-a ladder that has no top.And the gift of a "moving on"moment is that we get to celebrate the firm foothold (we've gained on our 51 step,even as we reach upward toward the next.We get to _52-not beyond what we've learned and accomplished so far,53 because we are able to build on today's experiences to move ahead toward tomorrow. We look forward to our son 54 more graduations in his lifetime.But perhaps more than that,we pray that he will have the ability to recognize many"moving on"moments to celebrate and enjoy with 55 41.A.prize B.letter C.degree D.gift 42.A.normal B.different C.traditional D.popular 43.A.interesting B.successful C.creative D.meaningful 44.A.end B.goal C.process D.task 45.A.translated B.learned C.shared D.completed 46.A.complain B.miss C.worry D.imagine 47.A.teacher's B.parent's C.cleaner's D.student's 48.A.responsible B.grateful C.concerned D.famous 49.A.struck B.confused C.inspired D.disappointed 50.A.moment B.month C.year D.lifetime 51.A.current B.previous C.future D.upward 52.A.work out B.calm down C.think over D.move forward 53.A.but B.though C.and D.also 54.A.holding B.preparing C.discovering D.experiencing 55.A.kindness B.gratitude C.bravery D.patience 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For learning Chinese,the correct pronunciation of the words 56(be)very important.Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up,but for new learners,this may take time. For Mandarin learners,pronunciation is one of the 57 (challenge)most people tend to meet with.Error-making is a 58(nature)part of learning any language,not just Mandarin,and we all have our own fair share of weak points. We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes 59 are a lot more common than others.Pronunciation in Mandarin is important,because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word.Unlike other East Asian languages,Mandarin depends heavily 60 tone to convey the proper meaning,so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential. Sometimes,61 the difference in sound is clear enough,learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way. The best approach to 62 (solve)this is to use a Mandarin pronunciation guide which tells you exactly how different sounds 63 (make)and where they come from so you can differentiate (between them properly. English has stressed syllables within words,while Mandarin does not.Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel,which in turn,changes the meaning.Mandarin does have stress within a sentence.64 (improve)your Mandarin pronunciation,listen to native Mandarin speakers as much as possible and talk with them too.Besides having general conversations with people 65 (regular),you should make sure you have a teacher who can help you identify where you're going wrong.Remember,practice makes perfect! 英语试题卷第7页（共8页） 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66.假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Jck将要来中国当高中交换生，发邮件向你询问适合课间进行的运动，请你回 复邮件。内容包括： 1.推荐一项运动； 2.说明推荐理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67.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。 The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy-new classes,new faces,and the quiet hope of starting over.As a 1lth-grade transfer student,I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low,clutching (my backpack strap like a lifeline.Everything felt foreign-the laughter,the inside jokes,the invisible circles I wasn't part of. My new desk mate,Olivia,sat by the window,her notebook perfectly organized,her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating,she smiled,slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk,and in a soft voice said she'd show me around at lunch.That small gesture made me want to belong-to be seen. So when she mentioned the debate club after class,I told her I'd been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest.It wasn't planned.The lie just slipped out,smooth and effortless,like it had been waiting for its cue.Her eyes lit up, and for the first time,I felt noticed-no longer just the quiet new kid. A few days later,Olivia came running up with a sign-up sheet."The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month-we should team up!"she exclaimed,her enthusiasm unshakable.I tried to match her energy,but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage.Four weeks to prepare-it felt endless and terrifying at the same time. At our first rehearsal ()I stumbled over debate terms,struggled to organize arguments,and froze when asked to practice rebuttals ()Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers.Olivia didn't say anything;her smile faded,polite yet puzzled. By Friday,the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders.Each "keep going"she offered sounded like a test I couldn't pass.That night,I stared at my debate notes,the words swimming before my eyes.I knew I couldn't keep pretending.Something had to give. 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。 During the next rehearsal,I finally admitted the truth to everyone. A month later,Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together,ready for the big day. 英语试题卷第8页（共8页）河南省天立教育2025一2026学年度秋期高一年级期中联考 英语参考答案 第I卷选择题 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 > 8 0 10 答案 A B B B A C B A B A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A B 心 C B B 心 A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D B C A B C D D C A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B C B A D G F D C A 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 C B D A C B D 心 D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 A D A D B 第Ⅱ卷非选择题 56.is 57.challenges 58.natural 59.that /which 60.on 61.Although/though /while 62.solving 63.are made 64.To improve 65.regularly 66.One possible version: Dear Jack, You asked about break-time sports,and I think skipping rope is perfect.It only needs a rope,which is easy to carry Many of my classmates skip during breaks because it doesn't need much space.You can skip alone or with friends, which makes break time more enjoyable. The reason why I recommend it is that it's good for your health and saves time.It can make your body active quickly after class,and you don't need to spend a long time preparing for it.I'm sure that if you try skipping rope,you'll love it and have a great time during breaks. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 67.One possible version: During the next rehearsal,I finally admitted the truth to everyone.For a long moment,the room went silent-you could have heard a pin drop.Then Olivia spoke,calm and steady:"it's fine.We'll start from scratch."One by one,the others offered advice,shared notes,and cracked small jokes that eased the tension.From that day on,I stayed after school until the lights went out -repeating lines,practicing arguments,recording myself to correct every pause.My voice wavered,my notes were full of red marks,but fear slowly turned into focus.I was no longer pretending;I was learning to earn my place. A month later,Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together,ready for the big day.My palms were sweating,and my heartbeat drowned out the audience.When I stumbled over a point,Olivia jumped in smoothly,guiding me back on track.Our teammates whispered reminders and adjusted timing,and by the final round,we were in sync,When the judges announced our victory,the applause felt like sunlight breaking through.Standing there,I understood something deeper than winning:the path I'd faked at first had led me to something real-courage I had built,friends who believed in me,and a place where l truly fit. 听力材料文本 第1段录音 W:I've been coughing for a week.Maybe I should take some cough medicine. 英语参考答案第1页（共2页） M:Why don't you go to the clinic and have a check-up?It might be more serious than you think. 第2段录音 W:How was your trip to the mountains?

Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill（浓缩）all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience（韧性）, the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 24. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A．Severe and forbidding. B．Modest and outgoing. C．Sincere and energetic. D．Cheerful and approachable. 25. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A．Her sudden rise to fame through the media. B．The release of a bestseller. C．Her involvement in the 2004 tsunami relief. D．The growth of professional disaster circles. 26. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A．To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B．To explain Easthope’s writing process. C．To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D．To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 27. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A．Resilience matters most. B．Forgetting aids recovery. C．Positive thinking takes the lead. D．Minor sufferings deserve attention. C Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal environments. Communication is a complex（复杂的）process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive. Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide. Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement（参与）within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations. However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency（一致性）in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members. Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues（暗示）: many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors. 28. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language? A．Words share emotions more directly. B．Verbal language is more widely used. C．They have the same cultural meanings. D．Body language is more truthful at times. 29. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions? A．Hiding nervousness easily. B．Clarifying the group setting. C．Emphasizing key points. D．Avoiding communication mistakes. 30. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4? A．Be mindful of overusing gestures. B．Use certain gestures on purpose. C．Maintain unity in language tones. D．Stick to your intended message. 31. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues? A．They are often influenced by others. B．They fail to understand other factors. C．They are used to observing contexts. D．They have simple communication skills. D Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk（扣篮）! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata（斑秃）, which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying（欺凌）, leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 32. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To compare him with other champions. B．To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C．To highlight his skills and achievements. D．To show a specific moment in a game. 33. What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A．An infectious skin disease. B．His being made fun of. C．An error in the immune system. D．His average ability to play basketball. 34. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A．Strong-willed and helpful. B．Strict and responsible. C．Warm-hearted and humorous. D．Independent and creative. 35. What message does the author want to express in the text? A．Luck often comes to those who are ready. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step. D．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 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。 Becoming a super learner is one of the most important skills you need to succeed in the 21st century. In the age of technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education — a lifelong mastery of new skills, and ideas. 　36　 Super learners read a lot. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It gives us the freedom to travel through space and time, and offers a deeper view of ideas and knowledge. In fact, many of the most successful people share this appreciation for reading. 　37　 Super learners view learning as a process. Learning is a journey, a discovery of new knowledge, not a final stop. It’s an enjoyable lifelong process that super learners value. 　38　 Instead, they keep mastering new principles, processes, worldviews, thinking models, etc. The “ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge is important for their growth.” 　39　 Keeping your brain healthy keeps it sharp. What you do or don’t do for your brain can significantly change how you record and process information. Everyone wants to live an active life for as long as possible, which depends on brain health. Fruit, vegetables and protein from fish can slow the decline and protect a healthy brain. Super learners take short breaks, early and often. According to recent research, taking short breaks, early and often, is likely to help you learn things better. 　40　. “Anything less than 30 is just not enough, but anything more than 50 is too much information for your brain to take in at one time,” they say.

I put the word in quotations（引语）because as a rising 6th grader, he wasn’t receiving a 　41　 — and because the school used a 　42　 term to describe the milestone. On reflection, the school’s term felt even more 　43　 than the traditional name of the 　44　 of one stage of a person’s education: they called it Moving On.

Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up, but for new learners, this may take time. For Mandarin learners, pronunciation is one of the 　57　(challenge) most people tend to meet with. Error-making is a 　—58　(nature) part of learning any language, not just Mandarin, and we all have our own fair share of weak points. We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes 　59　 are a lot more common than others. Pronunciation in Mandarin is important, because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word. Unlike other East Asian languages, Mandarin depends heavily 　60　 tone to convey the proper meaning, so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential. Sometimes, 　61　 the difference in sound is clear enough, learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way. The best approach to 　62　(solve) this is to use a Mandarin pronunciation guide which tells you exactly how different sounds 　63　(make) and where they come from so you can differentiate（区别）between them properly. English has stressed syllables within words, while Mandarin does not. Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel, which in turn, changes the meaning. Mandarin does have stress within a sentence. 　64　(improve) your Mandarin pronunciation, listen to native Mandarin speakers as much as possible and talk with them too. Besides having general conversations with people 　65　(regular), you should make sure you have a teacher who can help you identify where you’re going wrong. Remember, practice makes perfect! 第四部分　写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Jack将要来中国当高中交换生，发邮件向你询问适合课间进行的运动，请你回复邮件。内容包括： 1．推荐一项运动； 2．说明推荐理由。 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As a 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching（紧握）my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen. So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid. A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time. At our first rehearsal（排练）, I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals（反驳）. Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled. By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each “keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give. 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。 During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. 英语试题卷　第 1 页（共 4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
