I'd like to share with you a small awkward moment last week. When I treated the international exchange student Tom to dinner, I kept piling food onto his plate, which made him quite embarrassed. Later I learned that Westerners prefer serving themselves instead of being helped this way. This experience taught me a lot. Cultural differences really matter in communication. We should learn more about others' customs to avoid such misunderstandings. Now I'll be more mindful when interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. Have you ever encountered anything like this? Looking forward to your thoughts. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua 第二节续写参考例文： The next afternoon, Mike and Clara hid nearby with a small surprise. When a girl with pigtails approached, tiptoeing nervously toward the mailbox, they stepped forward with warm smiles. "Are you Emma?" Mike asked gently. The girl nodded. Clara knelt down, unveiling a delicate wooden swing with intricate carvings. "For Bunny," she said softly. Emma's eyes sparkled like stars. With a joyful, silent gasp, she gently took Bunny from the mailbox and placed it on the tiny seat. "It's absolutely perfect." she breathed. Then she whispered, "I wish all my toys had a cottage to play in." Learning Emma's wish, the couple decided to build a toy cottage. Mike disappeared into his dusty workshop, his hands rediscovering the familiar rhythm of measuring and cutting wood. Clara sketched imaginative designs — little windows, flowers dancing across a sunny yellow door. Days later, a mini masterpiece stood beside the mailbox. When Emma arrived, her jaw dropped. "A real toy house." she yelled, tenderly arranging Bunny and others inside. Watching her pure joy, Mike felt his retired heart awakening, while Clara's eyes glistened with tears. They'd created something magical-not just a toy cottage, but a shelter where childhood wonder bloomed eternal. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026 学年度上学期高二年级 12 月阶段测试 英语试题 （满分 150 分，考试时间 120 分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated stocks, but the WiFi router. Regulars protested. A lawyer threatened to transfer his $500 monthly coffee budget elsewhere. “Books deserve the same undivided attention we demand from lovers,” she told me, polishing the brass counter her grandfather installed in 1967. Her stubbornness seemed self-destructive as stores around them closed down. Yet something unusual happened. By 2020, the shop had become an unofficial shelter. Teenagers sprawled on Persian carpets with Dostoevsky, their phones forgotten in backpacks. A retired judge started hosting Saturday poetry circles where participants recited verses from memory — a practice Clara called “brain tattooing.” The pandemic should have been their death knell. Instead, when Clara launched “Survival Bundles” (handpicked books with handwritten notes), orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom. A Silicon Valley CEO admitted these were the first physical books he’d touched since graduate school. “We’re starving for texture,” Clara noted, wrapping parcels in recycled paper. Last winter, I found her battling a new threat. A property developer had purchased their building, tripling the rent overnight. What unfolded next could fill a novel: customers organized protests on the sidewalk; the judge represented them for free; even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense. In the court, Clara quoted Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us.” The judge — her poetry circle regular — pronounced the rent increase unreasonable. Now their shop displays this judgment alongside signed first editions, proof that some bonds still resist digital disruption. 24. What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special? A. Catering to the needs of customers. B. Prioritizing full concentration. C. Focusing on rare book collections. D. Introducing modern technology. 25. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A sudden opportunity for growth. B. A desperate cry for survival. C. A moment of celebration. D. An event marking the end. 26. Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4? A. To show his contradictory behavior. B. To illustrate the content of a novel. C. To explain the difficulty Clara came across. D. To stress the mass support Clara received. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes. B. Community and human connection can navigate modern challenges. C. Technology is harmful to traditional businesses and should be avoided. D. Small bookshops are bound to encounter many threats in the digital age. C With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future – that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there. Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being. High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. 28. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles? A. To reinvent the way we travel. B. To cut the costs of car production. C. To improve the quality of products. D. To pursue sustainable development. 29. What do we know about the electric car? A. It came into use a century ago. B. It enjoys increasing popularity. C. It sells better than the traditional one. D. It costs less than the gas-powered one. 30. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. To show the disadvantages of battery power. B. To emphasize the significance of short flights. C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes. D. To state the developments of commercial flight. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Green transportation is on its way. B. The electric train is running regularly. C. The gas-powered train has become the past. D. Train transportation has seen remarkable improvement. D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn't always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist's smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this distinction: "Dissatisfactory competition outcomes may badly affect health." In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like, well, losers. It tends to lower motivation and increase stress. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and thus happier. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the inner motivation, and thus enjoyment. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 32. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B. Silver medalists' smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C. The average bronze medalist's smile lasted longer than every silver medalist's. D. The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 33. What is the cause of the difference in medalists' life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 34. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Aim to outperform others in competitions. C. Commit to one's consistent personal growth. D. Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Victory of Coming in Third. B. The Theory of Social Comparison. C. The Problem of Coming in Second. D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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。 Have you felt tired and frustrated by your schedule or workload lately? If so, you may be overcommitted. Overcommitment occurs when you push your boundaries and take on more duties than you can handle at once. __36__ There are plenty of solutions to stop it. Think before you commit. Before you say "yes" to something, take some time to evaluate the commitment and your schedule. Can you add this task or activity to your list? Is it something you can complete without stretching yourself too thin? __37__ Set boundaries and stick to them. Making clear boundaries for your professional and personal life is a great and healthy way to avoid overcommitment. __38__ This can be as simple as turning off your phone at a specific point each night or leaving work behind at the office. __39__ Not everything is set in stone. If a new duty comes around that's more important than others, do your best to rearrange your to-do list. For instance, when you receive an email from your boss asking you to complete an assignment for tomorrow morning's meeting by the end of the day, you can replace the time to work on a task due at the end of the week with the high-priority task. Ask for help when you need it. There's no shame in getting a little extra help now and then, especially when you're stressed out. Don't hesitate to reach out to your boss, coworker, or loved one if you need an extra hand with a commitment. __40__ It is important to remember that it is not weak to ask for help. In fact, it shows that you are strong enough to voice your own needs. A. Accommodate to a tight schedule. B. Adjust your commitments to your schedule. C. Ask these questions to help decide which task is your top priority. D. You know your limits, so set them to protect your overall well-being. E. While many people face overcommitment, it doesn’t have to be a permanent feeling. F. Sometimes, having even the smallest thing taken off your plate can make a big difference. G. Ask yourself these questions to help decide whether or not a commitment is worth your energy. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Karen, 16, was a college freshman in a local university.

Inside sat a cute rabbit toy with a sticky note, “Bunny needs a place to play. Your mailbox looks perfect.” Mike called his wife Clara, “Our mailbox has a new guest.” Clara came out, smiling at the little rabbit before noticing their water bill beneath it. “But this is not a toy house. We might miss important bills.” The couple had built the mailbox three years ago. Mike, a retired toy maker, designed it like a small white cottage with a red roof, measuring and cutting each piece of wood with the same precision he once used for children’s toys. Clara painted dancing flowers on the sunny yellow door hoping to make passing children smile. “What if the ‘owner’ decides to move in more things?” Clara wondered. Mike gently straightened the rabbit’s ear. “Someone treasured this,” he murmured, “Let’s find out who it belongs to first.” The next day, Mike showed a photo of the rabbit to his neighbors. No one recognized it until Mrs. Bennet said, “I saw a little girl with pigtails by your mailbox yesterday. She looked around nervously before placing something inside. I think she’s from the new apartments on Elm Street. Poor thing — there’s no playground there, not even any play equipment.” Mike didn’t ask further. Instead of removing the rabbit, he taped a colorful note to the mailbox, “Bunny is welcome here.” Soon, more toys joined the rabbit — always in the afternoon hours when school ended. Weeks passed. The collection of playthings grew, leaving little room for mail. One evening, Clara found a new note in pink crayon, “Dear friends, Bunny really wants a toy swing. I tried to make one but failed. Can you help? — Emma.” Clara’s eyes grew soft, a forgotten sense of childhood wonder bubbling up inside her. “This isn’t just a mailbox anymore; it’s a secret play world.” she said. “I almost feel like we’re part of it.” Mike nodded, “Tomorrow, let’s join in.” 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。 The next afternoon, Mike and Clara hid nearby with a small surprise. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Emma’s wish, the couple decided to build a toy cottage. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
