Here are our picks of snowy places to visit this winter. Swiss Alps, Switzerland For a memorable snowy escape, head to Switzerland where the amazing Alps await. With snow-covered forests, icy peaks and shining lakes, this is a breathtaking place to take in the season. One of the best ways to experience the Swiss Alps in winter is with a ride on the Glacier Express, the iconic red train known as one of the slowest express trains. Prague, Czech Republic If you’re looking for a festive getaway, Prague is your place. While snowfall can be unpredictable, the Christmas spirit is unmatched. Browsing the Christmas markets is a must, where you can pick up some traditional gifts and handicrafts from brightly decorated wooden stands. Lapland, Sweden A place worth mentioning twice, Lapland really is a snow holiday dream. For starters, it’s home to an unusual hotel where you can sleep on a bed made of ice. The hotel is constructed entirely out of, you guessed it, ice! It’s also the location of the Abisko National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. Lofoten, Norway The Lofoten islands come into their own in winter. With much fewer people around, it’s a great time of year to experience the fishing villages at their most authentic. There’s plenty going on, too. Take a wildlife and nature trip to experience impressive landscape and birdlife and join in a Northern Lights hunt after the sunsets. 1. Where can tourists check into an ice hotel? A. In Swiss Alps, Switzerland. B. In Lapland, Sweden. C. In Prague, Czech Republic. D. In Lofoten, Norway. 2. What is a special way to enjoy the views of Swiss Alps? A. Exploring fishing villages. B. Visiting Christmas markets. C. Taking the Glacier Express. D. Hunting for Northern Lights. 3. What do Lapland, Sweden and Lofoten, Norway have in common? A. They organize wildlife trips. B. They host Christmas-themed activities. C They are not hot winter holiday attractions. D. They offer chances to see the Northern Lights. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四处适合冬日冰雪假期游玩的绝美地点及其特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lapland, Sweden部分中的“For starters, it’s home to an unusual hotel where you can sleep on a bed made of ice. The hotel is constructed entirely out of, you guessed it, ice! (首先，这里有一家特别的酒店，你可以睡在冰做的床上。你猜对了，这家酒店完全是用冰建造的！)”可知，游客可以在瑞典的拉普兰入住冰酒店。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Swiss Alps, Switzerland部分中的“One of the best ways to experience the Swiss Alps in winter is with a ride on the Glacier Express, the iconic red train known as one of the slowest express trains. (冬季体验瑞士阿尔卑斯山最美妙的方式之一，就是乘坐冰川快车 —— 这列标志性的红色列车被称为最慢的特快列车之一)”可知，乘坐冰川快车是欣赏瑞士阿尔卑斯山景色的特别方式。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lapland, Sweden部分中的“It’s also the location of the Abisko National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. (这里也是阿比斯库国家公园的所在地，该公园被认为是世界上观赏北极光的最佳地点之一)”以及Lofoten, Norway部分中的“Take a wildlife and nature trip to experience impressive landscape and birdlife and join in a Northern Lights hunt after the sunsets.(参加一次野生动物和自然之旅，体验令人印象深刻的景观和鸟类，并日落后加入追寻北极光的行列)”可知，瑞典拉普兰和挪威罗弗敦的共同点是都能提供观赏北极光的机会。故选D项。 B I sat in my chair in the yard, and our new house was behind me. A table with food and drinks stood nearby. I felt a little worried. Was it a strange idea to have our own welcome party? New York was very different from my hometown in South Africa. In Cape Town, our whole neighborhood felt like one big family. People often met outside in the evenings. Kids played together, and adults shared food and talked. My godparents always said, “The simplest way to spread goodwill is to start with your own neighborhood.” I believed in building a community with longer tables, not higher fences. I moved to the USA after law school. My wife Sarah and I dreamed of having our own house and a warm community. We rented different places but never found that feeling. People kept to themselves. Once, we heard our neighbors arguing, but I didn’t know how to help. Finally, in 2020, we bought a house on a street called Whitney Drive. It had trees and a friendly-looking yard. I felt this was the right place. Remembering my childhood, I knew someone had to take the first step to bring people together. So, right after moving in, I suggested a neighborhood party. Sarah and our two daughters agreed. A month later, we sent invitations to all 12 houses. Now, sitting and waiting, I checked my watch. It was past 6 p.m. What if no one came? I sat there, hoping I could be the good neighbor I wanted to be. Just then, a couple with a baby carriage walked toward us. Then more people came — a young family, an older couple. Soon, twenty neighbors were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with other kids. Everyone enjoyed the party. One neighbor said, “This is a great idea. We never had a neighborhood party before.” That night, I learned that community isn’t about the place, but about the people. It’s about being brave enough to love your neighbor. Now, our street has regular get-togethers, and it finally feels like home. 4. What was the author’s neighborhood in Cape Town like? A. Quiet. B. Rich. C. Friendly. D. Busy. 5. What difficulty did the author face in the USA before 2020? A. His family didn’t like America. B. His neighbors were always arguing. C. He couldn’t afford a beautiful house. D. He couldn’t find a satisfactory community. 6. Which word can best describe the neighborhood party? A. Enjoyable. B. Boring. C. Crowded. D. Formal. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. A Difficult Life in America. B. Building a Community with a Party. C. Buying Our Dream House in the USA. D. The First Neighborhood Party We Hosted. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从南非移居美国后，通过举办邻里派对搭建温暖社区的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In Cape Town, our whole neighborhood felt like one big family. People often met outside in the evenings. Kids played together, and adults shared food and talked. (在开普敦，我们整个社区就像一个大家庭。人们经常在晚上相聚在外。孩子们一起玩耍，大人们分享食物、畅谈交流)”可知，作者在开普敦的社区邻里关系和睦、氛围友好。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My wife Sarah and I dreamed of having our own house and a warm community. We rented different places but never found that feeling. People kept to themselves. (我和妻子萨拉梦想着拥有自己的房子和一个温暖的社区。我们租过不同的住处，却始终没有找到那种感觉。人们都各自独处、互不往来)”可知，2020年之前作者在美国面临的困境是找不到令人满意的社区。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Soon, twenty neighbors were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with other kids. Everyone enjoyed the party. (很快，二十位邻居来到了现场，大家有说有笑。我们的女儿们和其他孩子一起玩耍。所有人都很享受这场派对)”可知，这场邻里派对的氛围十分愉快。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章围绕作者移居美国后，为了搭建温暖社区主动举办邻里派对展开，讲述了派对从筹备到举办成功的过程，以及最终邻里关系变得融洽的结果。Building a Community with a Party(通过聚会建立社区) 最能概括全文主旨，适合作为本文的标题。故选B项。 C A handicraft (手工艺品) is any useful or decorative object made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. Unlike items produced by machines in large factories, each handmade piece is unique. The most important feature of a handicraft is the individual skill and creativity of the maker. This personal touch is what makes it special. The tradition of handicraft began in ancient times, when people made all the things they needed for daily life by hand. Over time, these practical skills became beautiful art forms. Some crafts, like weaving and pottery, have been practiced for thousands of years. Others are more modern. What they all share is the use of skill to transform materials — which can be natural, industrially processed, or even recycled — into something new and meaningful. Through their work, artisans express their cultural heritage, including their ideas, values, and outlook on life. These valuable skills are passed down through generations. Traditionally, a young person, called an apprentice (学徒), would learn from a master craftsperson for several years. They learned not from books, but by watching, practicing, making mistakes, and receiving correction. This system of apprenticeship was very important for transferring not just the skills, but also the knowledge and wisdom behind each craft. In today’s world, traditional crafts like woodworking and basket weaving are more important than ever. They connect us to our history and tell the unique story of a community. Furthermore, they often promote sustainability (可持续性) by using local, natural materials, which reduces environmental impact. By choosing to buy and appreciate handicrafts, we do more than just get a beautiful object. We support local economies, help protect the environment, and play a part in keeping these invaluable cultural traditions alive for our children and grandchildren to learn from and enjoy. 8. What makes each handicraft unique? A. Its high price. B. The maker’s skill. C. Its modern design. D. The material’s color. 9. How were handicraft skills traditionally passed on? A. Through detailed instruction books. B. Through a system of apprenticeship. C. Through setting up handcraft schools. D. Through copying traditional objects. 10. Why is supporting handicrafts important for sustainability? A. They use local and natural materials. B. They reduce the need for factory machines. C. They cut down long-distance transportation. D. They are cheaper than machine-made goods. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare ancient and modern handicrafts. B. To introduce the disadvantages of handicrafts. C. To provide a guide to becoming a craftsperson. D. To state the nature and significance of handicrafts. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍手工艺品手工制作、独一无二的特质，讲述其从古至今的发展、学徒制传承方式，及它在连接历史、推动可持续发展等方面的重要意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike items produced by machines in large factories, each handmade piece is unique. The most important feature of a handicraft is the individual skill and creativity of the maker. (与大型工厂里机器生产的物品不同，每一件手工制品都是独一无二的。手工艺品最重要的特点在于制作者所展现的独特技艺和创造力。)”可知，制作者的技艺让每一件手工艺品独具特色。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These valuable skills are passed down through generations. Traditionally, a young person, called an apprentice (学徒), would learn from a master craftsperson for several years. They learned not from books, but by watching, practicing, making mistakes, and receiving correction. This system of apprenticeship was very important for transferring not just the skills, but also the knowledge and wisdom behind each craft. (这些宝贵的技能会代代相传。按照传统，一个年轻人，被称为学徒，会跟随一位技艺高超的工匠学习数年。他们不是通过书本学习，而是通过观察、实践、犯错并接受指导来获取知识。这种学徒制度不仅传承了技能，还传承了每种技艺背后的知识和智慧。)”可知，传统的手工艺是通过接受专业工匠的指导传承下来的。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Furthermore, they often promote sustainability (可持续性) by using local, natural materials, which reduces environmental impact. By choosing to buy and appreciate handicrafts, we do more than just get a beautiful object. We support local economies, help protect the environment, and play a part in keeping these invaluable cultural traditions alive for our children and grandchildren to learn from and enjoy. (此外，他们还常常通过使用当地的天然材料来促进可持续发展，这有助于减少对环境的影响。选择购买和欣赏手工艺品，我们所获得的远不止是一件精美的物品。我们支持当地经济，有助于保护环境，并为让这些珍贵的文化传统延续下去以供我们的子孙后代学习和欣赏而贡献一份力量。)”可知，手工艺助力可持续发展的原因是使用本地的天然材料，从而降低对环境的影响。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A handicraft (手工艺品) is any useful or decorative object made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. Unlike items produced by machines in large factories, each handmade piece is unique. The most important feature of a handicraft is the individual skill and creativity of the maker. This personal touch is what makes it special. (手工艺品是指完全由手工制作或仅使用简单工具制作而成的任何实用或装饰性物品。与大型工厂里由机器生产的物品不同，每一件手工制品都是独一无二的。手工艺品最重要的特征在于制作者所展现的独特技艺和创造力。这种个人化的特色正是其与众不同之处。)”可知，全文先定义手工艺品的本质（手工制作、独一无二、蕴含匠人创意），再讲述其历史渊源与传承方式，最后说明它在连接历史、推动可持续发展、传承文化等方面的意义。由此可知，文章的目的是说明手工艺品的性质和意义。故选D。 D A very small drone (无人机), no bigger than a hand and lighter than a piece of paper, is getting a lot of attention. This tiny flying machine can fly non-stop as long as it is in the sunlight because of its special new motor (发动机). Researchers at Beihang University in Beijing, who are experts in flight science, designed this solar-powered drone. The size and the heft are now only 1/10 and 1/600 of the previous world’s smallest and lightest solar-powered aircraft, respectively. Small flying machines like this are very useful. They can help with watching the environment, finding people in trouble, and other jobs. They can take pictures, find objects, and carry small things in tight spaces. But a big problem is that they cannot fly for a long time. Usually, small drones use motors that can get too hot when they run fast. This makes them waste a lot of energy. Using sunlight for power is a good idea, but a smaller drone has less space to collect sunlight, which means less energy. This was explained by the lead researcher, Mr. Qi. In their study, the team said that flying machines lighter than 10 grams usually can only fly for about 10 minutes. To fix this problem, Qi and his team made a new kind of motor. It uses a force called the Coulomb force to make a blade spin. The drone is named CoulombFly after this motor. The study shows that for very light flying machines, this new motor can be over 10 times better at using energy than old motors. It needs much less power to stay in the air. Before this, a team from Harvard University made a very small aircraft called RoboBee in 2019. But it needed a very strong, man-made light to fly, which is much brighter than the sun. The new CoulombFly drone can fly non-stop using just normal sunlight. Researchers say this is a very big step forward. 12. Which of the following does the new drone perform better in? A. Overall safety. B. High speed. C. Continuous flight. D. Deep exploration. 13. What does the underlined word “heft” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Weight. B. Length. C. Power. D. Quality. 14 What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The practical use of drones. B. The problems of flying machines. C. The difficulty in designing drones. D. The efforts made by the researchers. 15. Why is RoboBee mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To explain man-made light use. B. To show drones’ popularity. C. To introduce a research team. D. To stress CoulombFly’s advantage. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了北京航空航天大学研发的微型太阳能无人机CoulombFly，能耗低、续航久，仅靠自然光即可持续飞行，突破了小型无人机的续航局限，优势显著。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This tiny flying machine can fly non-stop as long as it is in the sunlight because of its special new motor (发动机). (这种小型飞行器只要处于阳光照射下就能持续飞行，这是因为其配备了新型特殊发动机的缘故。)”以及最后一段“The new CoulombFly drone can fly non-stop using just normal sunlight. (新型CoulombFly无人机仅依靠普通阳光就能实现不间断飞行。)”可知，这款新无人机的优势在于能依靠自然光持续飞行。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A very small drone (无人机), no bigger than a hand and lighter than a piece of paper, is getting a lot of attention. (一种非常小巧的无人机，其大小不超过一只手掌，重量还比一张纸还轻，正受到广泛关注。)”以及划线词后文“only 1/10 and 1/600 of the previous world’s smallest and lightest solar-powered aircraft, respectively (仅为此前世界上最小、最轻的太阳能飞机的十分之一和六百分之一)”可知，句中 size（尺寸）对应前文的“no bigger than a hand”，而heft对应“lighter than a piece of paper”，且与后文的lightest相呼应，由此可推断heft的意思是“重量”。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Small flying machines like this are very useful. They can help with watching the environment, finding people in trouble, and other jobs. They can take pictures, find objects, and carry small things in tight spaces. But a big problem is that they cannot fly for a long time. (像这样的小型飞行器非常有用。它们能够协助监测环境、寻找遇险人员以及执行其他任务。它们能够拍照、发现物体，并能在狭小空间内携带小物件。但一个主要问题是，它们无法长时间飞行。)”可知，第三段主要讲了无人机的实际应用。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study shows that for very light flying machines, this new motor can be over 10 times better at using energy than old motors. It needs much less power to stay in the air. Before this, a team from Harvard University made a very small aircraft called RoboBee in 2019. But it needed a very strong, man-made light to fly, which is much brighter than the sun. The new CoulombFly drone can fly non-stop using just normal sunlight. Researchers say this is a very big step forward. (该研究表明，对于非常轻型的飞行器而言，这种新型发动机在能源利用方面要比旧发动机高效得多，效率可高出10倍以上。它所需的飞行动力要小得多。在此之前，哈佛大学的一个团队在2019年制造了一种名为“机器人蜂”的非常小型的飞行器。但其飞行需要非常强的人造光源才能实现，这种光源比太阳还要亮得多。而新型的CoulombFly无人机则能够仅依靠普通的阳光实现持续飞行。研究人员表示，这是一项非常重大的进步。)”可知，提及RoboBee的目的是强调新无人机的优越性。故选D。 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。 Simple Steps to a More Sustainable Lifestyle Living sustainably means making choices that are better for our planet. Everything we buy has an influence on the environment — from what it's made of to the pollution created when it's made. ____16____ Here are a few easy but helpful steps you can take to make a difference. Think before you shop. Before buying something new, ask yourself if you really need it. If you do, try buying it second-hand instead of new. ____17____ This not only saves resources but also cuts down on waste and saves you money. Avoid single-use plastic. Plastic doesn't disappear. Every year, millions of tons end up in the ocean. This hurts many sea animals each year. You can start by bringing your own shopping bags, using a reusable water bottle, and choosing products with less plastic packaging. ____18____ Eat more sustainably. Producing meat has a big effect on the environment. ____19____ Also, try not to waste food. In the United States, almost 40% of food is thrown away. You can prevent this by planning your meals and eating what you buy. ____20____ Getting involved can make a real difference. Ask leaders to make stronger rules to protect nature. Talk to friends and family about protecting our planet. Small actions, when millions of people do them, can change the world. A. Use your voice. B. Join environmental clubs. C. It uses a lot of water and causes pollution. D. Always try to recycle plastic when you can. E. So, it's important to think about what we use. F. Choosing items with less packaging also helps. G. Every time you avoid plastic, you help the Earth. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种简单易行的方法，帮助人们养成更可持续的生活方式，从而减少对地球环境的负面影响。 【16题详解】 上文“Everything we buy has an influence on the environment — from what it's made of to the pollution created when it’s made. (我们购买的所有物品都会对环境产生影响，从制作材料到生产过程中产生的污染都包含在内。)”指出了物品对环境的影响和下文“Here are a few easy but helpful steps you can take to make a difference. (这里有一些简单但有用的步骤，你可以采取来改变。)”引出可以采取的具体行动建议。E项“所以，考虑我们使用什么是很重要的。” 起到了承上启下的作用，既承接上文物品对环境的影响，强调关注自身所用物品的重要性，自然引出下文的具体措施，故选E。 17题详解】 上文“Before buying something new, ask yourself if you really need it. If you do, try buying it second-hand instead of new. (购物前要思考是否真的需要该物品，若需要可以选择二手商品。)” 而F项“选择包装较少的商品也有帮助。”是对前文可持续购物建议的补充，指出选择包装更少的商品也能助力环保，与前文的购物建议属于同一范畴，且“also helps”符合语境逻辑，故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“You can start by bringing your own shopping bags, using a reusable water bottle, and choosing products with less plastic packaging. (你可以从自带购物袋，使用可重复使用的水瓶，选择塑料包装较少的产品开始。)”列举了避免使用一次性塑料的具体做法，比如自带购物袋、使用可重复利用的水杯等。G项“每次你避免使用塑料，你都在帮助地球。”是对这些做法意义的总结，说明每次避免使用塑料都是在为保护地球做贡献，与前文内容紧密衔接，故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Producing meat has a big effect on the environment. (生产肉类对环境有很大的影响。)” 提出生产肉类会对环境产生巨大影响这一观点。 C项“它使用大量的水，造成污染。”是对前文观点的具体解释，“it”指代前文的“producing meat”，说明肉类生产会消耗大量水资源且造成污染，进一步阐释了其对环境的影响，故选C。 【20题详解】 下文“Getting involved can make a real difference. Ask leaders to make stronger rules to protect nature. Talk to friends and family about protecting our planet. (参与进来会产生真正的影响。要求领导人制定更强有力的规则来保护自然。)”提到要参与其中，向领导者呼吁制定更严格的环保规则，和亲友宣传保护地球的理念。A项“用你的声音说话。” 是对这部分内容的概括，“use your voice”对应下文的呼吁、宣传等行为，起到了总领该段的作用，故选A。 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。 My English teacher, Mrs Wilson, announced a public speaking competition, which sent a wave of ____21____ through me.

We had many common interests and could stay up all night talking on the phone, laughing until our sides hurt. We were always there for each other when we needed to vent (发泄), cry or celebrate. We were so close that we could read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. That all changed when we had a huge disagreement and parted ways. The disagreement happened during a big school science fair. We were partners, but Teresa accidentally broke our project right before the judging (评审). I was so angry that I shouted at her in a bad voice and said she ruined everything on purpose. We both said hurtful things and never spoke again after that day. There wasn’t a day that passed when I didn’t think of her or miss her. I often thought of reaching out to her to say sorry to her. But then I would think, if she cared, why hasn’t she gotten in touch with me? One other thing that we had in common was that we were both very stubborn (固执的). It was Teresa’s birthday that day, which made me look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I finally found her photo, with her famous broad smile and beautiful hair. I also noticed she had liked a few of my old photos recently — a sign that maybe she missed me too. I sent her a message online and expressed how much I’d missed her throughout these days and what she meant to me. I mentioned a few silly memories we had had together. I told her that I was grateful that she was there for me when I was going through a hard time. I ended the message by asking her if she would like to meet one day. And I wished her a happy birthday. 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。 Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen. My heart was racing as I read her message: “I’ve missed you too. How about meeting at the Sunshine Restaurant tomorrow?” A feeling of relief washed over me yet it was quickly followed by a nervous feeling. What if things were awkward? I spent the whole evening thinking about what to say, each moment appearing endlessly as memories of our friendship replayed in my mind. Despite the anxiety, a warm hope began to grow within me — perhaps this was our chance to restart. The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name. I turned to see Teresa standing by the door, holding a small gift. “For old times’ sake,” she said softly. We hugged tightly, tears welling in our eyes. “I’m so sorry,” we said it at the same time, then laughed through our tears. At that time, we apologized for our stubbornness and called up all the joyful moments we had shared. That day, we not only restored our friendship but also learned that true bonds grow stronger when repaired with understanding and forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与好友Teresa多年来的深厚友谊，因一次激烈争执而分道扬镳，此后彻底失去联系。尽管彼此思念，但因双方性格同样倔强，谁都没有主动联系对方。直到Teresa生日那天，作者在社交媒体上找到了她，鼓起勇气发消息表达思念、回忆往昔，并提议见面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个小时过去了，就像几天过去了一样，屏幕上终于出现了回复。”可知，第一段可描写两人约定好见面以及作者在见面前紧张的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当我坐在餐馆里时，一个熟悉的声音叫我的名字。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Teresa见面后的场景，两人互相道歉并重拾友谊。 2.续写线索： Teresa回复并约定见面——紧张——两人见面——拥抱并互相道歉——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①心跳加速：race/pound/beat fast ②涌上心头：wash over/be overwhelmed by ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①紧张：a nervous feeling/nervousness/tension ②快乐：joyful/happy/delighted 【点睛】[[高分句型1] I spent the whole evening thinking about what to say, each moment appearing endlessly as memories of our friendship replayed in my mind.（由“名词+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构） [高分句型2] That day, we not only restored our friendship but also learned that true bonds grow stronger when repaired with understanding and forgiveness.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句和状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋季学期高一年级12月教学质量检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。 例： How much is the shirt?

Here are our picks of snowy places to visit this winter. Swiss Alps, Switzerland For a memorable snowy escape, head to Switzerland where the amazing Alps await. With snow-covered forests, icy peaks and shining lakes, this is a breathtaking place to take in the season. One of the best ways to experience the Swiss Alps in winter is with a ride on the Glacier Express, the iconic red train known as one of the slowest express trains. Prague, Czech Republic If you’re looking for a festive getaway, Prague is your place. While snowfall can be unpredictable, the Christmas spirit is unmatched. Browsing the Christmas markets is a must, where you can pick up some traditional gifts and handicrafts from brightly decorated wooden stands. Lapland, Sweden A place worth mentioning twice Lapland really is a snow holiday dream. For starters, it’s home to an unusual hotel where you can sleep on a bed made of ice. The hotel is constructed entirely out of, you guessed it, ice! It’s also the location of the Abisko National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. Lofoten, Norway The Lofoten islands come into their own in winter. With much fewer people around, it’s a great time of year to experience the fishing villages at their most authentic. There’s plenty going on, too. Take a wildlife and nature trip to experience impressive landscape and birdlife and join in a Northern Lights hunt after the sunsets. 1. Where can tourists check into an ice hotel? A. In Swiss Alps, Switzerland. B. In Lapland, Sweden. C. In Prague, Czech Republic. D. In Lofoten, Norway. 2. What is a special way to enjoy the views of Swiss Alps? A. Exploring fishing villages. B. Visiting Christmas markets. C. Taking the Glacier Express. D. Hunting for Northern Lights. 3. What do Lapland, Sweden and Lofoten, Norway have in common? A. They organize wildlife trips. B. They host Christmas-themed activities. C. They are not hot winter holiday attractions. D. They offer chances to see the Northern Lights. B I sat in my chair in the yard, and our new house was behind me. A table with food and drinks stood nearby. I felt a little worried. Was it a strange idea to have our own welcome party? New York was very different from my hometown in South Africa. In Cape Town, our whole neighborhood felt like one big family. People often met outside in the evenings. Kids played together, and adults shared food and talked. My godparents always said, “The simplest way to spread goodwill is to start with your own neighborhood.” I believed in building a community with longer tables, not higher fences. I moved to the USA after law school. My wife Sarah and I dreamed of having our own house and a warm community. We rented different places but never found that feeling. People kept to themselves. Once, we heard our neighbors arguing, but I didn’t know how to help. Finally, in 2020, we bought a house on a street called Whitney Drive. It had trees and a friendly-looking yard. I felt this was the right place. Remembering my childhood, I knew someone had to take the first step to bring people together. So, right after moving in, I suggested a neighborhood party. Sarah and our two daughters agreed. A month later, we sent invitations to all 12 houses. Now, sitting and waiting, I checked my watch. It was past 6 p.m. What if no one came? I sat there, hoping I could be the good neighbor I wanted to be. Just then, a couple with a baby carriage walked toward us. Then more people came — a young family, an older couple. Soon, twenty neighbors were there, talking and laughing. Our daughters played with other kids. Everyone enjoyed the party. One neighbor said, “This is a great idea. We never had a neighborhood party before.” That night, I learned that community isn’t about the place, but about the people. It’s about being brave enough to love your neighbor. Now, our street has regular get-togethers, and it finally feels like home. 4. What was the author’s neighborhood in Cape Town like? A. Quiet. B. Rich. C. Friendly. D. Busy. 5. What difficulty did the author face in the USA before 2020? A. His family didn’t like America. B. His neighbors were always arguing. C. He couldn’t afford a beautiful house. D. He couldn’t find a satisfactory community. 6. Which word can best describe the neighborhood party? A. Enjoyable. B. Boring. C. Crowded. D. Formal. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. A Difficult Life in America. B. Building a Community with a Party. C. Buying Our Dream House in the USA. D. The First Neighborhood Party We Hosted. C A handicraft (手工艺品) is any useful or decorative object made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. Unlike items produced by machines in large factories, each handmade piece is unique. The most important feature of a handicraft is the individual skill and creativity of the maker. This personal touch is what makes it special. The tradition of handicraft began in ancient times, when people made all the things they needed for daily life by hand. Over time, these practical skills became beautiful art forms. Some crafts, like weaving and pottery, have been practiced for thousands of years. Others are more modern. What they all share is the use of skill to transform materials — which can be natural, industrially processed, or even recycled — into something new and meaningful. Through their work, artisans express their cultural heritage, including their ideas, values, and outlook on life. These valuable skills are passed down through generations. Traditionally, a young person, called an apprentice (学徒), would learn from a master craftsperson for several years. They learned not from books, but by watching, practicing, making mistakes, and receiving correction. This system of apprenticeship was very important for transferring not just the skills, but also the knowledge and wisdom behind each craft. In today’s world, traditional crafts like woodworking and basket weaving are more important than ever. They connect us to our history and tell the unique story of a community. Furthermore, they often promote sustainability (可持续性) by using local, natural materials, which reduces environmental impact. By choosing to buy and appreciate handicrafts, we do more than just get a beautiful object. We support local economies, help protect the environment, and play a part in keeping these invaluable cultural traditions alive for our children and grandchildren to learn from and enjoy. 8. What makes each handicraft unique? A. Its high price. B. The maker’s skill. C. Its modern design. D. The material’s color. 9. How were handicraft skills traditionally passed on? A. Through detailed instruction books. B. Through a system of apprenticeship. C. Through setting up handcraft schools. D. Through copying traditional objects. 10. Why is supporting handicrafts important for sustainability? A. They use local and natural materials. B. They reduce the need for factory machines. C. They cut down long-distance transportation. D. They are cheaper than machine-made goods. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare ancient and modern handicrafts. B. To introduce the disadvantages of handicrafts. C. To provide a guide to becoming a craftsperson. D. To state the nature and significance of handicrafts. D A very small drone (无人机), no bigger than a hand and lighter than a piece of paper, is getting a lot of attention. This tiny flying machine can fly non-stop as long as it is in the sunlight because of its special new motor (发动机). Researchers at Beihang University in Beijing who are experts in flight science, designed this solar-powered drone. The size and the heft are now only 1/10 and 1/600 of the previous world’s smallest and lightest solar-powered aircraft, respectively. Small flying machines like this are very useful. They can help with watching the environment finding people in trouble, and other jobs. They can take pictures, find objects, and carry small things in tight spaces. But a big problem is that they cannot fly for a long time. Usually, small drones use motors that can get too hot when they run fast. This makes them waste a lot of energy. Using sunlight for power is a good idea, but a smaller drone has less space to collect sunlight, which means less energy. This was explained by the lead researcher, Mr. Qi. In their study, the team said that flying machines lighter than 10 grams usually can only fly for about 10 minutes. To fix this problem, Qi and his team made a new kind of motor. It uses a force called the Coulomb force to make a blade spin. The drone is named CoulombFly after this motor. The study shows that for very light flying machines, this new motor can be over 10 times better at using energy than old motors. It needs much less power to stay in the air. Before this, a team from Harvard University made a very small aircraft called RoboBee in 2019. But it needed a very strong, man-made light to fly, which is much brighter than the sun. The new CoulombFly drone can fly non-stop using just normal sunlight. Researchers say this is a very big step forward. 12. Which of the following does the new drone perform better in? A. Overall safety. B. High speed. C. Continuous flight. D. Deep exploration. 13. What does the underlined word “heft” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Weight. B. Length. C. Power. D. Quality. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The practical use of drones. B. The problems of flying machines. C. The difficulty in designing drones. D. The efforts made by the researchers. 15.

We had many common interests and could stay up all night talking on the phone, laughing until our sides hurt. We were always there for each other when we needed to vent (发泄), cry or celebrate. We were so close that we could read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. That all changed when we had a huge disagreement and parted ways. The disagreement happened during a big school science fair. We were partners, but Teresa accidentally broke our project right before the judging (评审). I was so angry that I shouted at her in a bad voice and said she ruined everything on purpose. We both said hurtful things and never spoke again after that day. There wasn’t a day that passed when I didn’t think of her or miss her. I often thought of reaching out to her to say sorry to her. But then I would think, if she cared, why hasn’t she gotten in touch with me? One other thing that we had in common was that we were both very stubborn (固执). It was Teresa’s birthday that day, which made me look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I finally found her photo, with her famous broad smile and beautiful hair. I also noticed she had liked a few of my old photos recently — a sign that maybe she missed me too. I sent her a message online and expressed how much I’d missed her throughout these days and what she meant to me. I mentioned a few silly memories we had had together. I told her that I was grateful that she was there for me when I was going through a hard time. I ended the message by asking her if she would like to meet one day. And I wished her a happy birthday. 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。 Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
