Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used her daughter’s key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn’t her daughter’s. When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn’t find a record of it, they took a theft report. The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter, discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn’t hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university. When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, “It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) ,” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed “because of mistaken car identity”, Anderson wasn’t charged. Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”. “Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition (点火装置) as well — so high-five for Toyota. I guess.” he said. 4. What came into Charlie’s mind when he couldn’t find his car? A. He parked his car in the wrong parking lot. B. His car was stolen by a thief. C. His car was removed by the police. D. He forgot to lock his car. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mrs. Anderson frequently unlocked other Toyota Camrys with the key. B. Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie’s car at the request of her daughter. C. Mrs. Anderson drove the car to the police office for ransom. D. Mrs. Anderson discovered the owner’s information in the car. 6. What does Charlie mean by “high-five for Toyota”? A. He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys. B. He should thank Toyota for returning his car. C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back. D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars. 7. What is likely to happen next according to the passage? A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car. B. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car. C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation. D. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car, as compensation. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了一个大学生下课后发现自己的车消失不见了。后来发现是一位女士误把他的车当成了自己女儿的车开走了。这听起来有点不可思议，凯美瑞的车主认为汽车公司应该对这件事负责。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn’t find a record of it, they took a theft report.(不久之后，Charlie Vansant下课后走出教室，却发现那里只有一个空的停车位。他起初以为车子被拖走了，但当警方查不到相关记录时，他们就受理了一份盗窃报案)”可知，当Charlie Vansant发现他的车不见了时，他首先想到的是车可能被警察被拖走。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Anderson said she was able to find Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.(Anderson说，她能在汽车杂物箱里的文件中找到Vansant的名字，并在该大学的网站上查到他的电话号码)”可知，Anderson在车的杂物箱里的文件上找到了Vansant的名字，并在大学网站上查到了他的电话号码，这说明她在车里发现了车主的信息。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段Vansant的话“Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition (点火装置) as well — so high-five for Toyota. I guess.(她的钥匙不仅能打开我的车门锁，还能启动我的汽车引擎——所以，我想，为丰田击个掌吧)”可知，Vansant应该责备汽车公司而不是 “偷车贼”，因为她的车钥匙不仅可以打开自己的车锁，还可以打开别人的车并且发动引擎，由此推断“high-five for Toyota”此处为反语，实际上是在责怪丰田公司的车钥匙存在质量问题，导致他的车被误开。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the ‘thief’(Vansant似乎更多地归咎于汽车公司，而不是‘小偷’。)”及Vansant的话“Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition (点火装置) as well — so high-five for Toyota. I guess.(她的钥匙不仅能打开我的车门锁，还能启动我的汽车引擎——所以，我想，为丰田击个掌吧。)”可知，Vansant的车被误开是因为丰田公司的车钥匙存在问题，所以Vansant很可能会要求丰田公司给他一个解释。故选C。 C In an analysis of 16 cities around the world, those that saw the biggest temperature rises over the years also had more rat complaints over time, researchers reported in Science Advances. Jonathan Richardson, a researcher of the University of Richmond in Virginia, together with his team, gathered records of complaints made about rats over an average of 12 years from 13 US cities, as well as Toronto, Tokyo and Amsterdam. They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化) , economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased. “The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.” Warming weather also means fewer opportunities to control rat populations. “There used to be a rodent (啮齿动物) season: Rats sought shelter indoors in winter with lower birth rates, allowing professionals to take advantage of the chance to control. Now it’s all year round,” says Bobby Corrigan, a rodentologist. “When humans and rats share space, there are really a variety of risks coming along, ” says Niamh Quinn, a human-wildlife interactions advisor at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources in Irvine. Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature. Higher temperatures may make matters worse; “At some point there’s going to be hopefully not, but potentially the perfect storm, where we have all these increasing population, all these rodents but not enough tools in our toolbox to manage them, ” said Bobby. 8. What mainly contributes to the rise in rat populations in cities? A. The progression of urbanization. B. Increase in city-temperatures. C. The shortening of rodent seasons. D. Improved reporting of rat complaints. 9. What does the underlined word “adequate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sufficient. B. Demanding. C. Unlikely. D. Unsuitable. 10. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 4? A. Measures to track rat complaints. B. Damage of high temperatures. C. The reasons for high birth rates of rats. D. The seriousness of the increasing rats. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A More Rodent Activities Drive Hotter Climates. B. Major Cities Take Responsibility For Rat Rises. C. Rodent Activities Impact the Climate Globally. D. Rising Rat Populations Result From Rising Heat. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气温上升导致城市老鼠数量增加及其影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化), economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased.(他们发现，在包括城市化水平、经济发展、人口增长和平均气温等因素中，与老鼠数量快速增长关联最强的因素是城市气温的上升幅度。)”可知，城市气温的上升是导致城市老鼠数量增加的主要原因。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.”(理查德森表示：“气候变化带来的异常温暖的冬天，可能会给老鼠争取到更多待在户外的时间。额外一两周的户外觅食时间……在某些情况下，adequate让一只老鼠多繁殖一次。”)”可知，划线词上文提到了气候变化带来的异常温暖的冬天，可能会给老鼠争取到更多待在户外的时间，下文提到了让一只老鼠多繁殖一次，可推理出此处说的是在某些情况下，老鼠在户外多觅食一两周就足以让它们再繁殖一次。由此可知，adequate在此处意为“足够的”，与Sufficient含义相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature. Higher temperatures may make matters worse.(老鼠不仅会让人跳起来尖叫，还会咬坏汽车电线，吃掉庄稼和花园。它们的排泄物会污染它们接触到的食物，还会传播疾病。它们每年在美国造成约270亿美元的损失，而全世界每年花费5亿美元来对抗这种生物，但却是一场注定失败的战斗。而气温升高可能会让情况雪上加霜。)”可知，该段提及老鼠会让人受到惊吓、啃咬汽车线路、破坏农作物、污染食物、传播疾病，还会造成巨大经济损失，且气温升高可能让情况更糟。这些内容均在说明老鼠数量增加带来的严重后果，即老鼠数量增多的严重性。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an analysis of 16 cities around the world, those that saw the biggest temperature rises over the years also had more rat complaints over time, researchers reported in Science Advances.(研究人员在《科学进展》杂志上报告称，在对全球16个城市的分析中，那些多年来气温上升幅度最大的城市，随着时间的推移，老鼠投诉也更多。)”、第二段“They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化), economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased.(他们发现，在包括城市化水平、经济发展、人口增长和平均气温等因素中，与老鼠数量快速增长关联最强的因素是城市气温的上升幅度。)”可知，本文主要讨论的是气温上升导致老鼠数量增加的问题。因此，D选项“Rising Rat Populations Result From Rising Heat(老鼠数量增加源于气温上升)”能准确概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选D。 D Rain has long been celebrated for supporting life, but new research suggests it could also power our homes — with a clever change to clean energy. Unlike traditional water power, which relies on strong water flows, a team led by engineer Siowling Soh from the National University of Singapore has developed a way to get electricity from tiny raindrops. The key lies in a simple design: narrow tubes and mixing air with water drops. As raindrops slide down these tubes, tiny air bubbles form between them, causing a big separation of electric charges. Negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) stick to the tube walls, leaving extra positive hydrogen ions (H+) in the water. This charge separation creates electric pressure, similar to the static electricity (静电) from dragging socks on a carpet. When drops fall into a stainless-steel cup, wires carry the built-up charge into a current. Early tests show good results. In 20-second tests, four 32-centimeter-long tubes made enough electricity to power 12 LED lights non-stop — about 100,000 times more energy than older drop-based methods. Soh notes this could be made larger, such as putting rain-catching tubes on roofs in rainy areas like Singapore, or near waterfalls. Experts speak highly of the new idea but point out its limits. David Ma, an engineer at Texas A&M University, calls the air-mixing design “clever” for improving efficiency, yet warns it only works with high-resistance devices (like small LEDs) because of low current. Physicist Himanshu Mishra adds it’s “interesting science” but can’t take the place of fossil fuels, as it can’t power larger electrical machines. While not a solution to global energy needs, this technology offers a fresh way to use nature’s gifts. As Soh puts it, it’s a step toward “a more sustainable society” — proving even the smallest drops can light up our future. 12. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the air-mixing design. B. The way the new power system works. C. The results achieved in the power research. D. Experts’ opinions on the new design’s function. 13. Why does the author mention “Singapore” and “near waterfalls” in paragraph 3? A. To highlight regions with abundant rainfall. B. To compare different installation environments. C. To stress the importance of location in energy industry. D. To illustrate potential applications of the technology. 14. What is David Ma’s attitude toward the air-mixing design? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An innovative method of electricity generation. B. The guidance on building a raindrop power device. C. A comparison of efficiency in various energy sources. D. The view that raindrop power will replace conventional energy. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍新加坡团队研发的从雨滴中获取电能的新方法，包括其工作原理、测试成果、专家评价及应用前景。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The key lies in a simple design: narrow tubes and mixing air with water drops. As raindrops slide down these tubes, tiny air bubbles form between them, causing a big separation of electric charges. Negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) stick to the tube walls, leaving extra positive hydrogen ions (H+) in the water. This charge separation creates electric pressure, similar to the static electricity (静电) from dragging socks on a carpet. When drops fall into a stainless-steel cup, wires carry the built-up charge into a current.(关键在于一个简单的设计：狭窄的管道以及将空气与水滴混合。当雨滴沿着这些管道滑落时，它们之间会形成微小的气泡，导致电荷大量分离。带负电的氢氧根离子（OH-）会附着在管壁上，在水中留下多余的带正电的氢离子（H+）。这种电荷分离会产生电压力，类似于在地毯上蹭袜子产生的静电。当雨滴落入不锈钢杯中时，导线会将积累的电荷转化为电流)”可知，该段详细阐述了这种新型雨滴发电系统的工作原理。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soh notes this could be made larger, such as putting rain-catching tubes on roofs in rainy areas like Singapore, or near waterfalls.(Soh指出，这种装置的规模可以扩大，例如在新加坡这样多雨地区的屋顶上，或者在瀑布附近安装集雨管道)”可知，作者提及“新加坡”和“瀑布附近”是为了举例说明这种雨滴发电技术可能的应用场景，即展示其潜在应用。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“David Ma, an engineer at Texas A&M University, calls the air-mixing design “clever” for improving efficiency, yet warns it only works with high-resistance devices (like small LEDs) because of low current.(德克萨斯A&M大学的工程师大卫·马称这种空气混合设计在提高效率方面“很巧妙”，但他也警告说，由于电流较低，该设计只适用于高电阻设备（如小型LED灯）)”可知，大卫·马既肯定了该设计的优点，也指出了其局限性，态度客观。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Unlike traditional water power, which relies on strong water flows, a team led by engineer Siowling Soh from the National University of Singapore has developed a way to get electricity from tiny raindrops. (传统水力发电依赖强劲的水流，与之不同的是，由新加坡国立大学工程师萧玲·苏（Siowling Soh）带领的团队，研发出了一种利用微小雨滴发电的方法)”及下文对该方法的原理、测试、评价和前景的介绍可知，文章核心是围绕这种创新的雨滴发电方法展开，主要介绍了这一新型发电方式。故选A项。 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 On the National Day last week, I invited my friend Jack to attend the Food festival held in Nanjing. When he saw so many kinds of food, he felt so curious about them. ____16____. I told Jack that in my childhood, I used to spend time in the warmth of my grandparents’ home, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily tasting bowls of her delicious chicken soup. After leaving my hometown for work in Nanjing, every time I went back home, I took my time over cups of tea, enjoying the perfect marriage of boiling water, ginger (姜), sesame (芝麻) and beans. The association was very amazing. Although I tasted various delicate foods, I still cried out for what mother cooked for me. ____17____. Jack said that the combination of tastes and family love lay in everyone’s memory. The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging could become particularly important for people who lived far away from their home. We wandered at the festival and tasted many kinds of food varying from spicy to mild. Jack was attracted by the spicy crayfish. He wanted to give it a try. To my joy, the spicy taste made him let loose rivers of sweat. He cried out for a bottle of icy water to relieve, but it didn’t do the trick. Also, Jack felt puzzled why people threw themselves into long queues for food. I explained to him that it lay in the taste, because the favorite taste could lift their spirits. ____18____. We stopped at a food stand selling Spring Rolls, where the maker was taking his time over a delicate one. ____19____. The maker told us Chinese Spring Rolls were made of thin dough filled with meat and vegetables, rolled and fried, tasting delicious and crispy. Known as spring pancakes, this traditional delicacy was believed to have started as a special snack to celebrate the arrival of spring. So, to eat Spring Rolls is to follow the custom of biting the spring. In its broadest sense, Spring Rolls refer to a type of finger food that is popular in various East and Southeast Asian cuisines. ____20____. It’s a way of preserving history, celebrating traditions, and expressing a cultural identity. Food festivals like these are not just about eating but are a celebration of diversity and a reminder of the universal language of cuisine that brings people together. A. Jack’s initial skepticism about the long lines began to fade as he started to appreciate the anticipation and the shared experience that came with waiting for something truly delicious B. Jack was fascinated by the careful preparation and asked the maker about the details C. I thought the dishes my mother cooked represented the family love for her child D. The dish, to me, was not just about taste but also about the longing and the love that went into preparing it E. Seeing his curiosity, I shared with him the words about some food and the memories that food evoked for me F. As we savored the Spring Rolls, we discussed how traditional food is more than just a meal; it’s a symbol of cultural identity G. And the favorite food could serve as comfort food to enlighten our soul 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了与朋友共游南京美食节，通过品尝各地美食探讨其文化意义，并感悟传统食物承载的情感与归属感。 【16题详解】 根据后文“I told Jack that in my childhood, I used to spend time in the warmth of my grandparents’ home, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily tasting bowls of her delicious chicken soup.(我告诉杰克，在我的童年，我常常在祖父母温暖的家中度过时光，听她讲精彩的故事，贪婪地品尝她美味的鸡汤)”可知，此处应是“我”看到杰克的好奇后，和他分享关于食物唤起的记忆，E选项“Seeing his curiosity, I shared with him the words about some food and the memories that food evoked for me(看到他的好奇，我和他分享了关于一些食物的事情以及食物唤起的我的记忆)”符合语境。故选 E。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Although I tasted various delicate foods, I still cried out for what mother cooked for me.(虽然我品尝了各种美味的食物，但我仍然渴望妈妈为我做的食物)”和后文“Jack said that the combination of tastes and family love lay in everyone’s memory.(杰克说，味道与亲情的结合存在于每个人的记忆中)”可知，空格处应该进一步阐释食物的情感价值，C选项“I thought the dishes my mother cooked represented the family love for her child(我觉得母亲做的菜代表着家人对她孩子的爱。)”承上启下，此句进一步阐述母亲做的菜象征着家庭的爱，与后文 Jack 提到的 “tastes and family love” 形成呼应。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文 “Also, Jack felt puzzled why people threw themselves into long queues for food. I explained to him that it lay in the taste, because the favorite taste could lift their spirits.”（而且，杰克对人们排长队买食物感到困惑。我向他解释说这在于味道，因为最喜爱的味道可以振奋他们的精神。）可知，此处继续阐述喜欢的食物的作用，G选项“And the favorite food could serve as comfort food to enlighten our soul(而喜欢的食物可以作为安慰食物来启迪我们的灵魂)”与前文逻辑紧密，进一步说明了喜欢的食物的意义，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“The maker told us Chinese Spring Rolls were made of thin dough filled with meat and vegetables, rolled and fried, tasting delicious and crispy.(制作者告诉我们，中国的春卷是用薄面团包上肉和蔬菜，卷起来油炸而成，味道鲜美酥脆)”可知，这里描述的是制作者向“我们”介绍春卷，B选项“Jack was fascinated by the careful preparation and asked the maker about the details(杰克被精心的准备所吸引，并向制作者询问了细节)”解释了制作者介绍春卷的原因，即杰克对春卷的精心准备很感兴趣并询问细节，符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“It’s a way of preserving history, celebrating traditions, and expressing a cultural identity. Food festivals like these are not just about eating but are a celebration of diversity and a reminder of the universal language of cuisine that brings people together.(这是一种保存历史、庆祝传统和表达文化身份方式。像这样的美食节不仅仅是关于吃，更是对多样性的庆祝，也是提醒人们美食这种通用语言将人们聚集在一起)”可知，这里强调传统食物的意义，F选项“As we savored the Spring Rolls, we discussed how traditional food is more than just a meal; it’s a symbol of cultural identity(当我们品尝春卷时，我们讨论了传统食物不仅仅是一顿饭；它是文化身份的象征)”引出后文关于传统食物意义的讨论，符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15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。 My father always loved gardening.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” she replied. The two girls started chatting animatedly about all the craft ideas they had, like making friendship bracelets and paper lanterns. As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day. When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts. May got a new idea and she decided to have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch, she made her way to Room 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervously but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her courage grew. May explained her love for crafts and how she hoped to start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wonderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s support, May couldn't wait to tell Olivia and start their very own craft club, looking forward to making more friends who shared their passion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了刚从中国搬到新国家的May，在新学校第一天因手工中国龙“龙龙”丢失而焦虑，后被Olivia归还并结为好友，最终在Olivia的影响和Miller老师的支持下，决定创办手工俱乐部，逐渐适应新的学校生活的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““当然可以！放学后要不要在这里见？”May问道。”以及第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第一段可描写May和Olivia相谈甚欢，她突然有了个想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第二段可描写May突然想到可以建议Miller老师创办一个手工俱乐部，而Miller也觉得这个想法很棒。 2.续写线索：May提出和Olivia放学后见面——两人见面后兴致勃勃聊起了手工——而两人的交谈也给了May一个新的想法——于是，May决定和Miller老师谈谈，她建议Miller老师可以创办一个手工俱乐部——老师觉得这个主意不错——有了老师的支持，May迫不及待想和Olivia分享这个消息——May也对新的学校生活充满了期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①全神贯注于：be engrossed in/be lost in ②与某人谈话：have a talk with sb/ talk with sb ③前往、去某处：make one's way to/head for 情绪类 ①绝妙的：awesome/splendid/wonderful ②高兴的：delighted/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词that/which的定语从句修饰先行词a sense of ease） 【高分句型2】When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新惠第六中学2025—2026学年度高二上学期期中考试 英语试卷 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.

B Woman Uses Daughter’s Key to “Steal” Car Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter’s car and taken it — using her key. Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used her daughter’s key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn’t her daughter’s. When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn’t find a record of it, they took a theft report. The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter, discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn’t hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university. When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, “It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) ,” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed “because of mistaken car identity”, Anderson wasn’t charged. Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”. “Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition (点火装置) as well — so high-five for Toyota. I guess.” he said. 4. What came into Charlie’s mind when he couldn’t find his car? A. He parked his car in the wrong parking lot. B. His car was stolen by a thief. C. His car was removed by the police. D. He forgot to lock his car. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mrs. Anderson frequently unlocked other Toyota Camrys with the key. B. Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie’s car at the request of her daughter. C. Mrs. Anderson drove the car to the police office for ransom. D. Mrs. Anderson discovered the owner’s information in the car. 6. What does Charlie mean by “high-five for Toyota”? A He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys. B. He should thank Toyota for returning his car. C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back. D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars. 7. What is likely to happen next according to the passage? A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car. B. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car. C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation. D. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car, as compensation. C In an analysis of 16 cities around the world, those that saw the biggest temperature rises over the years also had more rat complaints over time, researchers reported in Science Advances. Jonathan Richardson, a researcher of the University of Richmond in Virginia, together with his team, gathered records of complaints made about rats over an average of 12 years from 13 US cities, as well as Toronto, Tokyo and Amsterdam. They found that among factors including levels of urbanization (城市化) , economic development, population growth and average temperatures, the strongest one associated with a faster rat race was the amount a city’s temperature had increased. “The unseasonably warm winters of climate change,” Richardson says, “probably buy rats extra time outdoors. An extra week or two foraging (觅食) outdoors… that’s, in some cases, adequate for a rat to reproduce one more time.” Warming weather also means fewer opportunities to control rat populations. “There used to be a rodent (啮齿动物) season: Rats sought shelter indoors in winter with lower birth rates, allowing professionals to take advantage of the chance to control. Now it’s all year round,” says Bobby Corrigan, a rodentologist. “When humans and rats share space, there are really a variety of risks coming along, ” says Niamh Quinn, a human-wildlife interactions advisor at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources in Irvine. Rats not only make people jump and scream, but also chew up car wiring and eat crops and gardens. Their wastes pollute food that they get into, and they can spread diseases. They cause around 27 billion dollars in damage each year in the United States, and the world spends 500 million dollars per year fighting a losing battle against the creature.

D Rain has long been celebrated for supporting life, but new research suggests it could also power our homes — with a clever change to clean energy. Unlike traditional water power, which relies on strong water flows, a team led by engineer Siowling Soh from the National University of Singapore has developed a way to get electricity from tiny raindrops. The key lies in a simple design: narrow tubes and mixing air with water drops. As raindrops slide down these tubes, tiny air bubbles form between them, causing a big separation of electric charges. Negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) stick to the tube walls, leaving extra positive hydrogen ions (H+) in the water. This charge separation creates electric pressure, similar to the static electricity (静电) from dragging socks on a carpet. When drops fall into a stainless-steel cup, wires carry the built-up charge into a current. Early tests show good results. In 20-second tests, four 32-centimeter-long tubes made enough electricity to power 12 LED lights non-stop — about 100,000 times more energy than older drop-based methods. Soh notes this could be made larger, such as putting rain-catching tubes on roofs in rainy areas like Singapore, or near waterfalls. Experts speak highly of the new idea but point out its limits. David Ma, an engineer at Texas A&M University, calls the air-mixing design “clever” for improving efficiency, yet warns it only works with high-resistance devices (like small LEDs) because of low current. Physicist Himanshu Mishra adds it’s “interesting science” but can’t take the place of fossil fuels, as it can’t power larger electrical machines. While not a solution to global energy needs this technology offers a fresh way to use nature’s gifts. As Soh puts it, it’s a step toward “a more sustainable society” — proving even the smallest drops can light up our future. 12 What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the air-mixing design. B. The way the new power system works. C. The results achieved in the power research. D. Experts’ opinions on the new design’s function. 13. Why does the author mention “Singapore” and “near waterfalls” in paragraph 3? A. To highlight regions with abundant rainfall. B. To compare different installation environments. C. To stress the importance of location in energy industry. D. To illustrate potential applications of the technology. 14. What is David Ma’s attitude toward the air-mixing design? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 15 What is the main idea of the passage? A. An innovative method of electricity generation. B. The guidance on building a raindrop power device. C. A comparison of efficiency in various energy sources. D. The view that raindrop power will replace conventional energy. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 On the National Day last week, I invited my friend Jack to attend the Food festival held in Nanjing.

I told Jack that in my childhood, I used to spend time in the warmth of my grandparents’ home, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily tasting bowls of her delicious chicken soup.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure!
