B When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an influence on the environment and really used those classroom lessons every day in a way that made him different from his schoolmates at school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon persuaded his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” action. “For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school. But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted. “We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a try. To be honest, I thought he’d hold back when it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled (回忆) one day when the weather was extremely bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He was proud of braving it, and it became a really fun family routine (惯例).” Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that run to school”. 4. What makes Simon different from his classmates? A. Raising strange questions in class. B. Taking green ways in daily life. C. Washing his clothes by himself. D. Taking many classes after school. 5. How did Simon usually go to school in the second grade? A. By cycling. B. By running. C. By school bus. D. By car. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Simon was fond of being wet. B. Simon held back due to the bad weather. C. Simon was braver than expected. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Boy keeps Running to Inspire Father. B. The Best Way to Go to School. C. Father and Son Run for the Environment. D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes. C During the National Day Golden Week in China, while most popular tourist spots remain overcrowded with long lines, a new trend called “reverse travel” is becoming popular among Chinese tourists, especially young people. More travelers are giving up visiting well-known attractions like the Forbidden City. Instead, they choose less-known places such as small towns with ancient streets to enjoy real holiday fun in peace. Several key factors lead to this popular trend. Young people’s consumption concepts (消费观念) have changed. Those born in the 1990s and 2000s (Generation Z) value high-quality travel experiences and cost-effectiveness (性价比) more than simply taking photos at Internet-famous sites to impress friends. They prefer to avoid crowds, experience local cultures deeply and relax in quiet spots to escape daily stress. The pursuit (追求) of personality also drives reverse travel’s popularity. Influenced by the mobile Internet, Generation Z travelers hate following fixed travel plans. They enjoy visiting unique places that match their personal interests, such as ancient villages or special natural spots to create unique memories. Moreover, popular spots have poor experiences, like high hotel prices and ticket queues, while less-known ones offer low prices and a comfortable environment for in-depth trips. Better transport, including high-grade highways and high-speed rail, helps reach remote areas easily. Also, recommendations on social media about these “hidden gems” places encourage this trend. In short, “reverse travel” is not just a travel change, but shows people’s desire for a more relaxed life. This National Day, why not leave crowded spots and discover the beauty of less-known places? 8. According to the paragraph 1, what is “reverse travel”? A. Traveling to foreign countries during holidays. B. Following fixed travel plans to visit historical sites. C. Taking photos at Internet-famous sites to impress friends. D. Choosing less-known places instead of famous attractions. 9. What can we infer from the passage about Generation Z travelers? A. They enjoy visiting crowded popular spots. B. They are not interested in local culture and food. C. They value personal experiences and uniqueness. D. They find traveling to popular places comfortable. 10. Which of the following is NOT one of the disadvantages of popular spots? A. Long lines. B. High expenses. C. Remote locations. D. Crowded transportation. 11. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To complain about the high cost of traveling. B. To advise readers never to visit popular spots. C. To introduce a new travel trend among young people. D. To describe the development of China’s transportation. D Growing up, students are repeatedly told that their actions and choices in high school will influence the rest of their lives, but to what degree is this actually the case? In fact, far more of the decisions made in high school matter and can decide the rest of one’s life than many may think, including one’s grades, behavior, friendships, and so on. Failing to perform well in high school can influence students’ future by reducing their school choices for further education and even their chances of getting a good job in the future. Studies have shown that a student’s GPA (grade point average) is related to his future pay, with students who have a 4.0 GPA making more than $50,000 a year, while those with a 2.5 GPA or lower may not even break $40,000. Yet, the importance of high school is beyond report cards. According to Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist (心理学家), the events happening between the ages of 12 and 18 decide whether or not a person develops a full sense of self. During this stage, teens generally ask themselves “Who am I?”. They often identify themselves with certain types of music, books, etc., through which teens begin to discover themselves and their relationship with the world. Social circles also play a role in shaping who you are. Schools offer a special environment in which students find themselves in one place for no reason other than age and where they live. Clearly, this provides students with experiences they couldn’t find anywhere else and allows them to develop good and real friendships. Without a doubt, choices made in high school have effects that flash throughout one’s whole life. Therefore, high school students and their families must make sure that they have a good experience and a healthy environment for self-exploration. It is worth mentioning that while students need to concentrate mainly on their grades and behavior, they shouldn’t fall into the common trap (陷阱) of caring too much. 12. Why does the author mention students’ GPA in paragraph 2? A. To stress the uncertainty of the future. B. To list the results of different subject choices. C. To show the long-term effects of grades. D. To compare grading methods across schools. 13. Which can replace the underlined phrase “identify themselves with” in paragraph 3? A. Stand out from. B. Think highly of. C. Keep away from. D. Feel a connection to. 14. What leads to close friendships during teenage years according to the text? A. Common study goals. B. The similar age and location. C Shared hobbies and interests. D. The same family background. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for high school students? A. Valuing parent-child relationships highly. B. Trying to become the top student in class. C. Preparing for future jobs as early as possible. D. Balancing school grades with personal growth. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从后面选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Although running indoors on a treadmill (跑步机) is comfortable, many runners prefer to train outdoors because it allows them to enjoy nature. ____16____ But running outdoors presents some challenges. Be careful of the following things. _____17_____ Many runners make the mistake of setting their speeds inaccurately (不准确地) when running outdoors. This is especially true for those who are used to running indoors. How can you learn your running level? Regularly choose different speeds and learn about your feelings and performance. How do you feel about jogging, racing and sprinting (短跑) speeds? Also, train to alternate (交替) these speeds to make the routine more challenging. Adapt to the weather.

When the winter is over and you want to run outdoors again, you need to give your body enough time to get used to the outdoors again. _____18_____ Wear the right shoes. Avoid wearing bad running shoes with worn-out material. If the material is already worn out, it can no longer provide you with the support your feet need for running. _____19_____ Also, make sure you choose the right shoes—shoes designed specifically for the challenges of running. Stay patient and work for results. However hard you train, you won’t see results overnight. You need to be patient. _____20_____ Take your time to make progress and expect challenges. A Break your old habit. B. Know your speed. C. A pair of good shoes can do wonders. D. Replace old running shoes immediately. E. A change of scenery can also improve their feeling. F. Don’t expect your desired results to happen quickly. G. Give your body time to get used to different surfaces. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I still remember the first day of high school.

He was really worried because he had a speech (演讲) problem. In the past, his old classmates often laughed at him because of it. Luckily, Katherine, Jack’s science teacher in the new school, quickly saw why Jack was so nervous and didn’t want to speak in class. She decided to help him. Whenever Jack had trouble speaking, this kind teacher would give him an encouraging smile and say, “You are so great!” The teacher hoped that with her encouragement, Jack could get the confidence. But unfortunately, all her efforts didn’t work. One day in class, Katherine said that every student had to stand in front of the class and give their answer to a question in their own special way. When Jack heard this, that familiar fear and worry came back. He kept thinking about how he could stand in front of his classmates and explain his answer clearly. He was also worried that his classmates would laugh at his speech problem again. He just sat there, watching his classmates go up to the front one by one. Most of them did their speech smoothly (顺利地) and went back to their seats with big smiles. But Jack was so nervous while waiting for his turn to come (轮到他), it felt like he was sitting on needles (针). 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally his turn came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Jack finished his speech, everyone in the room started to clap（鼓掌）. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年上学期期中质量检测 高一英语试卷 (满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必用碳素笔或钢笔将自己的姓名、准考证号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2. 考生必须把所有答案填写在答题卡上，答在试卷上的答案一律无效。 3. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，其余试题用碳素笔或钢笔作答。 4. 考试结束后将本试卷及答题卡交监考教师方可离开教室。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，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.

His mind went blank for a moment, but then he remembered Katherine’s countless kind words. He forced himself to focus on the task. As he started speaking, his voice was barely above a whisper, yet he continued. Midway, he stuttered on a complex term, and his face flushed. But glancing at Katherine’s unwavering support, he found the strength to correct himself. Slowly, his voice grew louder and steadier. When Jack finished his speech, everyone in the room started to clap. Tears welled up in Jack’s eyes. He couldn’t believe it; the applause was deafening. His classmates rushed forward to pat his back and offer words of praise. Katherine came up and gave him a big hug, whispering, “You surpassed yourself, Jack.” From that day, Jack actively participated in class. Whenever he felt scared, he’d recall that moment of triumph. He learned that with a little courage and a lot of support, any hurdle could be overcome. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
