My mother was an emergency room nurse, so I would often go to the hospital with her and watch her care for patients. When I was in high school and began taking biology, I realized how much I loved science and the idea of one day working with children. One experience that stands out to me was volunteering at a children’s hospital during my undergraduate years. I had the opportunity to work with children who had cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. These children had been through so much at such a young age, yet they were so brave and strong. I knew then that I wanted to help children like them. During my undergraduate years, I pursued my goal by majoring in biology and chemistry. These courses laid a solid groundwork in the sciences, which is necessary in the medical profession. In addition, I devoted time to shadowing pediatricians (儿科医生) and volunteering at clinics to gain a full understanding of the field. These experiences exposed me to the hands-on nature of pediatrics (儿科学) and the opportunity to assist families during challenging times. As I advanced in my studies, I developed a growing interest in the research aspect of medicine. I participated in multiple research projects, such as a study on childhood asthma (哮喘) and its correlation with academic performance. This involvement gave me insight into the significance of research in advancing our understanding of pediatric illnesses and their treatments. One of the aspects of pediatrics that I find most rewarding is the opportunity to build relationships with patients and their families. Children are not just patients; they are individuals with unique needs and personalities. As a pediatrician, I am responsible for understanding those needs and providing care tailored to each child. 4. What impressed the author most about the kids? A. Their optimism and patience. B. Their courage and toughness. C. Their kindness and curiosity. D. Their sincerity and cuteness. 5. What is implied in the author’s undergraduate years? A. He studied rare illnesses in kids. B. He published an academic paper. C. He combined learning and practice. D. He helped cure a child with asthma. 6. Why does the author find his job meaningful? A. He valued care between people. B. He could keep a youthful mind. C. He could hear kids’ laughter. D. He longed to try new things. 7 Which words can best describe the author? A. Considerate and modest. B. Observant and upright. C. Humorous and helpful. D. Determined and responsible. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从童年受母亲影响立志成为医生，到本科阶段通过学习、实践和研究坚定儿科医生职业方向，并阐述了其认为儿科工作有意义的原因。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“These children had been through so much at such a young age, yet they were so brave and strong.(这些孩子在这么小的年纪就经历了这么多，但他们是如此勇敢和坚强)”可知，“勇敢和坚韧”是作者对孩子们最深刻的印象。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“During my undergraduate years, I pursued my goal by majoring in biology and chemistry.”和“In addition, I devoted time to shadowing pediatricians (儿科医生) and volunteering at clinics to gain a full understanding of the field.(在我的本科阶段，我追求我的目标，主修生物和化学。此外，我还花时间跟随儿科医生，在诊所做志愿者，以便对这个领域有充分的了解)”可推知，在本科阶段，作者将学习与实践结合。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“One of the aspects of pediatrics that I find most rewarding is the opportunity to build relationships with patients and their families.(我发现儿科最有价值的一个方面是有机会与患者及其家属建立关系)”和“As a pediatrician, I am responsible for understanding those needs and providing care tailored to each child.(作为一名儿科医生，我有责任了解这些需求，并为每个孩子提供量身定制的护理)”可知，作者认为在儿科工作中最有意义的是有机会与患者及其家人建立关系。他有责任了解这些需求，并为每个孩子提供量身定制的医疗服务。这表明，作者重视关怀以及人与人之间建立的关系。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was in high school and began taking biology, I realized how much I loved science and the idea of one day working with children.(当我在高中开始学习生物时，我意识到我是多么热爱科学，以及有一天和孩子们一起工作想法)”和三段中的“During my undergraduate years, I pursued my goal by majoring in biology and chemistry.”和“In addition, I devoted time to shadowing pediatricians (儿科医生) and volunteering at clinics to gain a full understanding of the field.(在我的本科阶段，我追求我的目标，主修生物和化学。此外，我还花时间跟随儿科医生，在诊所做志愿者，以便对这个领域有充分的了解)”可知，作者成为儿科医生的目标明确且意志坚定；根据最后一段中的“As a pediatrician, I am responsible for understanding those needs and providing care tailored to each child.(作为一名儿科医生，我有责任了解这些需求，并为每个孩子提供量身定制的护理)”可知，作者有责任心。故选D。 C You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say. The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University. Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope. This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million. When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.” 8. What does the author imply about the old debate? A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless. C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result. 9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup? A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth. C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better. 10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs? A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles. 11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，研究表明狗比猫聪明，因为狗的神经元更多。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer.(你知道那个关于狗是否比猫聪明的古老的争论吗？现在，科学有了明确的答案)”可推知，以前这个争论是没有明确答案的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope.(“2005年，我的实验室提出了一种非常简单、快速且经济的方法来计算大脑及大脑各部分中的细胞数量，”Herculano-Houzel说道。研究人员所做的就是取一些脑组织，将其基本转化为一种“汤”。这一过程释放了细胞核，从而使科学家能够直接在显微镜下对它们进行计数)”可知，研究人员把一些大脑物质变成“汤”是为了让细胞核分离出来，从而能在显微镜下直接数细胞核数量，也就是为了更清楚地观察神经元。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(一只15磅重的混合品种狗的脂肪有4.29亿)”和最后一段中“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时，这个数字甚至更高：6.27亿个神经元。)”可知，重量影响狗的神经元数量。故选B项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(猫的大脑皮层有2.5亿个神经元，而一只15磅重的混血狗的大脑皮层则有4.29亿个神经元)”以及“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时，这个数字甚至更高：6.27亿个神经元)”，可知，狗的神经元数量大约是猫的两倍，从而推知划线词句“So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex(所以，狗的大脑皮层中的神经元大约是猫的两倍的说法是plausible)”中划线词应为“合理的”意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 D Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you. Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings. Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and take money from their bank accounts. SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints, which are a lot harder to copy. If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any other backup method. Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings. For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and then do a second facial or fingerprint scan. Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this feature. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To set a phone-stealing scene. B. To introduce the following text. C. To remind readers to be cautious. D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss. 13. What can SDP do to add security for users? A. Stop iCloud files from being deleted. B. Make it less likely to enter the phone. C. Secure Apple accounts with remote locking. D. Prevent thieves from accessing bank accounts. 14. What does SDP require for resetting a stolen iPhone? A. Previous passwords. B. A new security setting. C. An Apple ID account. D. Identity recognition. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. iPhone’s anti-theft measure. B. Apple ID security settings. C. Usage of biometric features. D. Apple’s iOS operating system. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you.(想象你在一个拥挤的地方。你没有注意到，有人在看着你，并且知道了你的iPhone密码。然后，他们偷了你的手机。突然之间，你的照片、文件、财务信息和你数字生活的其余部分都被拿走了)”假设了一个情境：别人盗取你的iPhone密码然后手机上的个人信息被泄露，下文介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能，这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要信息，故第一段的作用是为了介绍接下来的内容，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings.(它有一个新功能，称为失窃设备保护（SDP）。这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要功能和设置)”可知，SDP可以让手机不太容易被他人打开，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner.(如果小偷试图删除或重置iPhone，该设备将需要面部识别或触摸识别扫描，以确认该人是合法的所有者)”可知，如果想重置iPhone，需要身份确认，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段“Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings.(iPhone制造商苹果公司（Apple）最近发布了iOS操作系统的更新。它有一个新功能，称为被盗设备保护（SDP）。这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要功能和设置)”可知，文章主要介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能，故选A。 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。 Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques. ____16____ Here’re some efficient speed reading techniques. Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word. ____17____ This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. Keep in mind that you don’t need to read every single word to understand the sentence’s overall meaning. Cover words you’ve already read with a card. When you’re reading, your eyes can move back to earlier words. These are typically short habitual movements that don’t improve understanding or speed. Use a card to cover words right after you’ve read them. ____18____ Move your eyes less as you read. While reading, your eyes: move, stopping on some words and skipping others. However, you can only comprehend what you’re reading when your eyes stop moving. Learning to move your eyes less can help you read faster. So try staring at one line at a time without gliding your eyes over the words. ____19____ Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you do a speed reading exercise. Not only does trying to beat your best speed motivate you, but it can also give you a goal to work towards. Set obtainable goals to improve your speed reading. Aim to work on n yours pee reading daily by completing speed reading exercises. 200 to 250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone 12 or older. ____20____ At 450 words per minute, you’re reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. It typically takes 2 to 4weeks to double your reading speed, so be patient with yourself and keep trying. A. Point to the words you’re reading on the page. B. So, how do you learn and master this amazing skill? C. Time your reading speed so you can track your progress. D. Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads. E. This way, you can train yourself not to look back at previous sentences. F. 300 words per minute is the reading speed of the average college student. G. Reading can seem like such a chore, especially because it can take so long. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了掌握和提高速读技能的一些有效的技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques.(速读是一种让人们通过略读技巧快速处理信息的技能)”解释什么是速读：一种让人们通过略读技巧快速处理信息的技能；结合下文“Here’re some efficient speed reading techniques.(这里是一些有效的速读技巧)”可知，设空处为过渡句，起到承上启下的作用，与速读技能的学习有关；B选项“So, how do you learn and master this amazing skill?(所以，你如何学习并掌握这个令人惊叹的技能呢?)”符合语境，选项中的“this amazing skill”指代上文中的“a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques”，下文则承接B选项这个问句，引出文章主题：介绍有效的速读技巧。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文（本段主旨句）“Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word.(少和自己说话，并避免发出每个单词的声音)”以及下文“This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. (这可能会有助于读者记住概念但是也会是速读的一个主要障碍)”可知，该空应为一种把每个单词都读出来有关的做法；D选项“Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads.(有些读者把读到的每一个字都在脑子里念出来)”符合语境，选项中的“sound out every word”与上文中的“sounding out each word”相照应。故选D。 【18题详解】 该段主题句“Cover words you’ve already read with a card. (用卡片遮住你已经读过的单词)”以及上文“Use a card to cover words right after you’ve read them.(用卡片遮住你已经读过的单词)”建议用卡片把读过的词盖住；E选项“This way, you can train yourself not to look back at previous sentences.(这样，你可以训练自己不回头看以前的句子)”承接上文，阐述用卡片把读过的单词盖住的益处，符合语境；“This way”指代上句建议的做法，“look back at previous sentences”与本段中的“your eyes can move back to earlier words”相对应。故选E。 【19题详解】 该空是段落的主题句；根据下文“Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you do a speed reading exercise. Not only does trying to beat your best speed motivate you, but it can also give you a goal to work towards.(通过每天计时或每次做快速阅读练习来记录你的进步。努力超越你的最佳速度不仅能激励你，还能给你一个努力的目标)”可知，本段建议通过每天或每次做速读时计时来记录自己的进步；C选项“Time your reading speed so you can track your progress.(对你的阅读速度计时，这样你就可以跟踪你的进步)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为主题句。故选C。 【20题详解】 由上文“200 to 250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone 12 or older.(每分钟200到250个单词是12岁或以上的人的预期阅读速度。)”以及下文“At 450 words per minute, you’re reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. (以每分钟450字的速度，你的阅读速度和大学生略读要点一样快)”可推知，设空处与上文构成递进关系，阐述的阅读速度介于上下文之间；F选项“300 words per minute is the reading speed of the average college student.(每分钟300次是大学生平均的阅读速度)”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 (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。 Once a teacher took her students to her village.

Besides此外；B. Somehow不知怎么地；C. Therefore因此；D. However然而。根据前文“Maybe a bigger mango lies ahead”和后文“kept moving forward”可知，前后为因果关系，“因此”符合逻辑。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当他走到果园尽头时，他意识到最大的芒果在第一棵树上。A. end尽头；B. entrance入口；C. center中心；D. corner角落。根据后文“the boy returned empty-handed”可知，男孩空手而归，因此是走完了果园，走到了尽头。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：男孩失望地空手而归，并把他的经历告诉了老师。A. Disappointed失望的；B. Frightened害怕的；C. Annoyed恼怒的；D. Confused困惑的。根据前文“he realized the biggest mango was on the first tree”和“the boy returned empty-handed”可知，男孩因错失最大的芒果而感到“失望”。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：男孩失望地空手而归，并把他的经历告诉了老师。A. impression印象；B. desire渴望；C. experience经历；D. conclusion结论。根据前文男孩从进入果园、观察芒果、一直走到尽头再空手而归的过程可知，他向老师分享的是自己的“经历”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：老师笑着说：“这就是我们在生活中经常犯的错误。”A. change改变；B. mistake错误；C. difference差异；D. decision决定。根据后文“In search for something better, we ______ what is right in front of us and miss out on good things”可知，在追求更好的东西时，人们错过了美好的事物，这是人们在生活中常犯的“错误”。故选B项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在追求更好的东西时，我们忽视了眼前的一切，错过了美好的事物——它们并不在遥远的地方，而是早已在你心中。A. pursue追求；B. identify识别；C. explore探索；D. ignore忽视。根据前文“he kept moving forward, leaving one mango after another”可知，与这个学生一样，为了寻找更好的东西，人们会忽视眼前的东西。故选D项。 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。 The old saying “Good medicine tastes bitter.” may no longer be true in China.

To ____36____ (she) surprise, she got a cup of sweet milk tea instead of medicine. The tea was both delicious ____37____ healthy. This special milk tea ____38____ (make) by the hospital’s nutrition (营养) team. They mix old Chinese medicine with modern food. “Milk tea is popular among young people. We hope it can be a bridge for them ____39____ (accept) TCM,” said Liao Changying, director of the team. The hospital uses modern technology to make the tea taste much ____40____ (good). For example, they use rose oil instead of rose petals (花瓣) to make it less bitter. They believe this method works ____41____ (effective). Besides, the hospital also tries to make candies and cakes ____42____ Chinese medicine. “Our goal is to help people prevent and cure (治疗) diseases while they ____43____ (enjoy) delicious food and drinks,” Liao explained. In Chongqing, there is also ____44____ TCM night market, which is held every weekend. People can get free health service there. A man said, “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Over half of the ____45____ (visitor) are young people who come to ask for professional (专业的) advice. It shows that the younger ones are more and more confident about TCM nowadays. 【答案】36. her 37. and 38. is made 39. to accept 40 better 41. effectively 42. with 43. are enjoying 44. a 45. visitors 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了重庆某中医院将将传统中药与现代食品相结合，使良药不再苦口，通过创新方式吸引年轻人接受中医文化。 【36题详解】 考查物主代词。句意：出乎她意料的是，她拿到了一杯甜奶茶而不是药。to one’s surprise意为“出乎某人意料的是”，此处应用形容词性物主代词her。故填her。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：这杯茶又美味又健康。根据“The tea was both delicious...healthy.”可知，横线前后是两个形容词，感情色彩都是积极的，因此此处应用表示并列的连词and；both...and...两者都……。故填and。 【38题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：这种特别的奶茶是由医院的营养团队制作的。空格处是谓语，主语This special milk tea与make被动关系，且描述客观事实，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语This special milk tea是单数，因此空格处是is made。故填is made。 【39题详解】 考查不定式。句意：我们希望它可以成为年轻人接受TCM的桥梁。修饰名词bridge，用不定式结构作后置定语，明确该名词的具体功能或目的，故填to accept。 【40题详解】 考查比较级。句意：医院使用现代科技让茶的味道更好。空前有much，空格处用比较级better作表语，表示尝起来味道更好，故填better。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：他们相信这种方法更有效。空格处用副词effectively修饰动词works，effectively意为“有效地”，故填effectively。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：另外，医院也尝试用中药制作糖果和蛋糕。根据语境可知，句子表示“医院也尝试用中药制作糖果和蛋糕”，空格处用介词with表示“用”，故填with。 【43题详解】 考查时态，主谓一致和省略。句意：我们的目标是当他们在享受美食和饮料时，帮助人们预防和治疗疾病。while引导的时间状语表示“当……的时候”，主从句动作同时发生，且从句动作通常是持续性的，句中while引导的从句用现在进行时，表示动作正在进行或持续期间主句的动作发生，主语they是复数，因此空格处是are enjoying。故填are enjoying。 44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在重庆每周也举办一个TCM夜市。market是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，TCM是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【45题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：超过一半的来寻求专业建议的来访者是年轻人。visitor是可数名词，由half of以及谓语are可知，空格处用名词复数，故填visitors。 第四部分：书面表达 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 为了帮助中学生健康成长，某中学英文报开辟了“HEART-TO-HEART”专栏。假设你是该栏目的编辑Jessica，收到一封署名为Worried的求助信。信中该同学向你诉说了自己的困扰：高中学习压力较大，导致自己近期比较焦虑且容易发脾气，从而影响了正常的学习和生活。请用英文给该同学写一封回信。 内容要点如下：1. 表示理解并给予安慰；2. 提出建议并说明理由。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Worried, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Jessica 【答案】例文 Dear worried, Learning that you’re feeling anxious and losing your temper due to high school pressures, I completely understand what you’re going through and want to offer some advice.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy. The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” Timmy’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He jumped out of bed and hugged his mom tightly. “Really, Mom? That’s amazing!” They spent the morning planning all the things they would do together. They decided to go to the zoo first. As they drove to the zoo, Timmy chatted non-stop, his face glowing with happiness. Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo. Timmy laughed out loud when one panda rolled over like a clumsy ball. Mrs. Thompson photographed these precious moments, feeling a sense of contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time. However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. It was one of her most important clients. The client had an urgent question about a house they were interested in buying. Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment. Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice. She silenced her phone and put it back in her bag. She turned to Timmy and said, “Nothing is more important than this time with you, Timmy.” They spent the rest of the day at the zoo, exploring every corner, and even had a picnic lunch on the grass. By the end of the day, both Timmy and Mrs. Thompson were tired but filled with joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了房地产经纪人汤普森夫人工作忙碌，常常无暇陪伴儿子蒂米。一天，蒂米满怀期待地想和妈妈玩游戏，却被拒绝，感到失望。汤普森夫人看到儿子失望的表情后，意识到自己因专注工作而错过了儿子的童年，经过思考后决定请假陪伴儿子，她向老板说明情况后幸运地得到了一周的假期。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“她说道：“蒂米，我打算请一整周的假，就为了我们俩！””可知，第一段可描写汤普森夫人和蒂米一起游玩的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，就在他们玩耍的时候，汤普森夫人的手机响了。”可知，第二段可描写在游玩期间接到了客户的电话，汤普森夫人将手机调成静音，继续陪蒂米游玩。 2.续写线索：蒂米感到兴奋——一起游玩动物园——接到客户电话——手机调成静音——感到疲惫却喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③对……感兴趣：be interested in/take an interest in ④探索：explore/probe 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②感到兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1]Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句，as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年上期高一年级期中考试 英语试卷 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试范围：必修一welcome-unit 3 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

My mother was an emergency room nurse, so I would often go to the hospital with her and watch her care for patients. When I was in high school and began taking biology, I realized how much I loved science and the idea of one day working with children. One experience that stands out to me was volunteering at a children’s hospital during my undergraduate years. I had the opportunity to work with children who had cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. These children had been through so much at such a young age yet they were so brave and strong. I knew then that I wanted to help children like them. During my undergraduate years, I pursued my goal by majoring in biology and chemistry. These courses laid a solid groundwork in the sciences, which is necessary in the medical profession. In addition, I devoted time to shadowing pediatricians (儿科医生) and volunteering at clinics to gain a full understanding of the field. These experiences exposed me to the hands-on nature of pediatrics (儿科学) and the opportunity to assist families during challenging times. As I advanced in my studies, I developed a growing interest in the research aspect of medicine. I participated in multiple research projects, such as a study on childhood asthma (哮喘) and its correlation with academic performance. This involvement gave me insight into the significance of research in advancing our understanding of pediatric illnesses and their treatments. One of the aspects of pediatrics that I find most rewarding is the opportunity to build relationships with patients and their families. Children are not just patients; they are individuals with unique needs and personalities. As a pediatrician, I am responsible for understanding those needs and providing care tailored to each child. 4. What impressed the author most about the kids? A. Their optimism and patience. B. Their courage and toughness. C. Their kindness and curiosity. D. Their sincerity and cuteness. 5. What is implied in the author’s undergraduate years? A. He studied rare illnesses in kids. B. He published an academic paper. C. He combined learning and practice. D. He helped cure a child with asthma. 6. Why does the author find his job meaningful? A. He valued care between people. B. He could keep a youthful mind. C. He could hear kids’ laughter. D. He longed to try new things. 7. Which words can best describe the author? A. Considerate and modest. B. Observant and upright. C. Humorous and helpful. D. Determined and responsible. C You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say. The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University. Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope. This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million. When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.” 8. What does the author imply about the old debate? A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless. C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result. 9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup? A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth. C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better. 10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs? A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles. 11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless. D Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you. Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings. Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and take money from their bank accounts. SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints, which are a lot harder to copy. If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any other backup method. Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings. For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and then do a second facial or fingerprint scan. Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this feature. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To set a phone-stealing scene. B. To introduce the following text. C. To remind readers to be cautious. D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss. 13. What can SDP do to add security for users? A. Stop iCloud files from being deleted. B Make it less likely to enter the phone. C.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy. The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
