Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director. Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh. Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity. To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project. 4. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project? A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Acquire gardening knowledge online. C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week. 5. What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate? A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice. C. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 6. How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph? A. By quoting an official. B. By giving examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 7. Which word best describes Orson? A. Adventurous. B. Determined. C. Caring. D. Flexible. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在黑泽尔伍德镇(Hazelwood), Seedlings for Tomorrow组织为每个孩子免费提供三株植物，让他们在自己的花园中种植。孩子们通过加入Garden Buddy项目，与成年导师配对，每周学习园艺和自然知识。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature.(该项目为每位年轻园丁配备一位成人导师。每周他们都会进行45分钟的线上交流，以学习园艺和自然知识)”可知，通过加入Garden Buddy项目，孩子们可以学习园艺和自然知识。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects.(“有些团体认为发放物资是有帮助的。但要是人们不知道如何使用这些物资，那就好比给他们一块石头。”他解释道。这就是为什么这个项目侧重于传授技能——比如如何正确给植物浇水、哪些季节最适合种植、以及如何保护花卉免受昆虫侵害)”可知，Orson认为仅仅提供植物是不够的，更重要的是教会人们如何种植、照顾它们。这与“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”的理念相符合。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.(基金经理埃拉拉·瓦恩说：“这类项目非常重要——它们能培养孩子们的耐心、责任感以及对环境的关爱，这对他们在校内外都有所裨益。”她还表示，家长们注意到自从参与该项目后，孩子们变得更加自信了)”可知，作者通过引用Ecology Fund的基金经理Elara Vane的话来强调该项目的价值。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.(项目负责人奥森·派克说道：“每个孩子都应该体验亲手种植作物所带来的快乐。”)”以及第三段“Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.(奥森已经70岁了，但他一直对下一代的成长充满热情。他认为，只要让孩子们选择自己喜爱的事物，他们就会成长为充满热情的园丁。许多孩子还会向同学分享自己的成长过程，这使得园艺成为了一项社交活动)”可知，Orson创办了非营利组织Seedlings for Tomorrow，并致力于通过该项目教会孩子们园艺技能和对环境的热爱。他相信通过让孩子们选择自己喜欢的植物，他们会成长为热情的园丁。此外，他还希望建立小型绿色站点，让人们可以交换种子和园艺技巧。这些行为都表明Orson是一个关心他人、尤其是关心下一代成长的人。故选C。 C Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 8. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 9. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 10. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 D If you ask a Westerner to name a successful Chinese consumer-goods brand, most would have struggled until recently. Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change. Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. It is expanding in South America, as is Meituan, a Beijing-based delivery app. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1, 300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia; just a few years ago, it had almost none. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful enterprises. Western consumers have been buying products made in China for decades. However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera. The video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” one of the most successful ever, features the Monkey King from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity. 12. What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Caused public excitement. B. Made a loud noise. C. Lost great popularity. D. Received negative comments. 13. How did the western consumers find Chinese brands? A. Full of imagination. B. Short of creativity. C. Quality guaranteed. D. Mass produced. 14. What is the author’s advice for the western brands? A. Notice different bubble tea. B. Ignore the Chinese influence. C. Cooperate with Chinese brands. D. Lower the price of the products. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Chinese retail brands. B. How foreign firms win Chinese customers. C. Why Chinese products were unpopular before. D. The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国消费品牌在全球范围内迅速崛起的现象。尽管过去中国以制造为主，缺乏自主品牌，但现在像Mixue、Meituan、Chagee等创新品牌已在全球市场取得成功，引发西方品牌的关注和反思，迫使它们重视中国市场和合作。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine - toothed dolls, called Labubus.(与此同时，中国玩具公司泡泡玛特凭借其不同寻常的咧嘴露九颗牙的玩偶Labubus，引起了和迪士尼一样的……。)”可知，泡泡玛特凭借其独特的玩偶和迪士尼一样引起了公众的广泛关注和兴奋，所以“created a buzz”意思是“引起了公众的兴奋”。A选项“Caused public excitement.(引发公众的兴奋)”符合语境。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. (然而，这些商品大多是由外国公司设计并生产的。长期以来，中国品牌一直被认为质量低劣且缺乏创新性。)”可知，西方消费者认为中国品牌缺乏创造力。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration.(一些西方公司甚至可能与创新的中国公司合作，以获得洞察力和灵感。)”可知，作者建议西方品牌与中国品牌合作。C选项“Cooperate with Chinese brands.( 与中国品牌合作。)”符合题意。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change.(尽管中国是全球领先的制造业大国，但长期以来，在打造富有创意、本土原创的零售品牌及产品方面，中国一直落后于其他国家。不过，这种情况正在发生改变。)”以及第二段中“Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere.(创新的中国品牌无处不在。)”以及后文对中国品牌在全球崛起的描述可知，文章主要讲述了创新的中国品牌在全球的崛起。D选项“The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally.(中国创新品牌在全球范围内的崛起。)”符合题意。故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Throughout our lives, we usually look for just one answer to each question we encounter, like when we ask what 2+2 equals or what the capital of India is. ____16____ The “one-problem, one-answer” mindset is deeply rooted in how we think. But what happens if we’re asked to generate different responses instead of one correct answer? ____17____ I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to record the answer to 2+2?” They voiced varied answers, such as ½ of 8, how Lincoln began “The Gettysburg Address”, the number of runners on a relay team, and the number following 3, etc. These kids weren’t “boxed in” by the artificial “requirement” of finding a single right answer. Rather, they were asked a question beginning with the two words “What if……?” ____18____ What lies behind the issue then? Ken Robinson has observed that our educational systems often don't help students develop their natural creativity. ____19____ Studies have shown that teachers claim to value qualities of independent thinking and curiosity, yet they reward behaviors of obedience. Thus, a workforce emerges that prioritizes conformity(顺从) over creativity. Simply stated, we tell students to color inside the lines and then expect adults to think outside the box. ____20____ Ask open-ended questions more often to encourage students to explore different ways of thinking. On top of this, a safe environment should be created where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, students are better equipped to face complex problems with greater flexibility and innovation in the future. A. Avoiding risks is a natural tendency. B. However, they have the potential to succeed. C. To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders. D. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. E. The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive. F. Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers. G. It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是原有的唯一正确答案模式禁锢着学生的思维，所以我们应该摆脱“唯一正确答案”的思维模式，多问一些开放式的问题，鼓励学生探索不同的思维模式。 16题详解】 根据空前“Throughout our lives, we usually look for just one answer to each question we encounter, like when we ask what 2+2 equals or what the capital of India is.(在我们的一生中，我们通常只为遇到的每个问题寻找一个答案，比如当我们问2+2等于多少或印度的首都是什么时。)”可知此处指出我们通常只为每个问题寻找一个答案，同时列举了2+2等于几或印度的首都是什么的例子，F项Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers.(我们很少考虑多个答案的可能性。)指出对于一个问题我们很少考虑答案的多样性，承接上文，同时与空后“The “one-problem, one-answer” mindset is deeply rooted in how we think.(“一个问题，一个答案”的思维方式深深植根于我们的思维方式。)”构成因果关系，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境，故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“But what happens if we’re asked to generate different responses instead of one correct answer?(但如果我们被要求给出不同的答案，而不是一个正确答案，会发生什么呢？)”可知此处提出了如果被要求给出不同的答案，而不是一个正确答案的情景假设，根据空后“I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to record the answer to 2+2?”(我问他们：“如果记录2+2答案的方法不止一种呢？”)”可知此处提到了作者向一些人提出了如果记录2+2答案的方法有不止一种的问题，由them知空处应提到这些人是谁，C项To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders.(为了找到答案，我找到了一群四年级学生。)承上启下，引出下文，空后的them指代选项中的a group of fourth-graders，符合上下文语境，故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“These kids weren’t “boxed in” by the artificial “requirement” of finding a single right answer. Rather, they were asked a question beginning with the two words “What if……?”(这些孩子不会被人为的“要求”所“束缚”，只需要找到一个正确的答案。相反，他们被问了一个以“如果……会怎么样？”开头的问题。)”可知此处指出孩子们没有被要求只需要找到一个正确的答案，而是被问了一个“如果……会怎么样？”的问题，孩子们就给出了各种各样的答案，E项The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive.(结果，正如你所看到的，是多样化和创造性的。)对上文进行总结，与上文衔接紧密，选项中的The results指的是上文所提到问题的答案，diverse and inventive与本段第一句中的different相互照应，符合上下文语境，故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Ken Robinson has observed that our educational systems often don’t help students develop their natural creativity.(肯·罗宾逊观察到，我们的教育系统往往不能帮助学生培养他们天生的创造力。)”可知肯·罗宾逊发现我们现有的教育系统往往不能帮助学生培养他们天生的创造力，根据空后“Studies have shown that teachers claim to value qualities of independent thinking and curiosity, yet they reward behaviors of obedience.(研究表明，老师声称重视独立思考和好奇心的品质，但他们奖励服从的行为。)”可知研究表明我们的老师虽声称重视独立思考和好奇心的品质，但他们更奖励服从，D项Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization.(相反，他们提倡统一和标准化。)指出我们现有的教育系统提倡答案的统一和标准化，承接上下，引出下文，选项中的Instead与上文构成转折关系，they指代空前的our educational systems，符合上下文语境，故选D项。 【20题详解】 空处位于段首，应为主旨句。根据空后“Ask open-ended questions more often to encourage students to explore different ways of thinking. On top of this, a safe environment should be created where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, students are better equipped to face complex problems with greater flexibility and innovation in the future.(多问一些开放式的问题，鼓励学生探索不同的思维方式。最重要的是，应该创造一个安全的环境，让学生敢于冒险和犯错。通过这样做，学生们能够更好地面对复杂的问题，在未来具有更大的灵活性和创新性。)”指出要多问一些开放式的问题并鼓励学生探索不同的思维方式及这样做的意义，换句话说就是我们要摆脱传统的唯一正确答案的模式，G项It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset.(是时候摆脱“唯一正确答案”的思维模式了。)指出是时候摆脱“唯一正确答案”的思维模式了，概括全段内容，符合上下文语境，故选G项。 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从41～55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When our daughter asked us to take her on an adventure, I immediately thought of a piece of advice from a friend.

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless and down all the time. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her. I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone was easy. It was teaching her how to use it that proved challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the following hours, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe(滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe?” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her. She pressed at the screen and got annoyed when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she cried. “I want my old phone back!” I was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home while she was angry and upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The thrill never faded. Over the next few weeks, Eileen kept on practicing her new phone and experimenting with every possible new app. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. I retrieved the phone carefully from the soft sofa, then pulled a small stool to sit right beside her and gently took her wrinkled, trembling hand in mine. I guided her index finger to glide slowly across the screen, repeating “swipe gently, don’t press too hard” in a soft, patient tone. After two clumsy but earnest failed attempts, the bright menu interface finally popped up on the screen. Her eyes lit up instantly like a kid who got a favorite candy, and a big, proud grin spread across her face, completely erasing all signs of her earlier frustration and annoyance.​ The thrill never faded. Over the next few weeks, Eileen kept on practicing her new phone and experimenting with every possible new app. She even mastered video calls and sent me funny garden photos daily. Seeing her enthusiasm, my own hopelessness faded away. I started sending job applications again, inspired by her courage to embrace new things at 92. Soon, I got an interview offer, and the first person I shared the news with was Eileen, who celebrated with me over a video call, waving her phone proudly at the screen. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者失业后情绪低落，曾祖母Eileen送他一部新手机并让他教自己使用，教她使用手机的过程充满挑战，但最终成功教会她基本操作，之后Eileen不断练习并探索新应用，她的热情也激励作者重新振作的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““来吧，Eileen。再试一次。”我说。”可知，第一段可描写作者耐心引导Eileen再次尝试滑动屏幕，经过几次尝试后终于成功，Eileen脸上露出自豪的笑容。 ②由第二段首句内容“这种兴奋从未消退。”可知，第二段可描写Eileen继续练习并探索新应用，甚至掌握了视频通话，她的热情也激励作者重新振作，最终作者收到面试邀请并与Eileen分享好消息。 2.续写线索： 捡起手机，耐心引导——尝试滑动，成功出现菜单——脸上露出自豪笑容——继续练习，探索新应用——掌握视频通话，激励作者——收到面试邀请，分享好消息 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①捡起手机：retrieve the phone/pick up the phone ②引导：guide/lead/direct ③出现：pop up/appear/show up 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/eagerness/passion ②绝望：hopelessness/despair 【点睛】【高分句型1】After two clumsy but earnest failed attempts, the bright menu interface finally popped up on the screen.（运用了after引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Soon, I got an interview offer, and the first person I shared the news with was Eileen, who celebrated with me over a video call, waving her phone proudly at the screen.（运用了that或who引导的限制性定语从句，that或who被省略；运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都石室中学2025—2026学年度上期高2027届半期考试 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟，总分：150分 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 In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director. Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh. Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity. To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project. 4. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project? A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Acquire gardening knowledge online. C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week. 5. What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate? A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice. C. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 6. How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph? A. By quoting an official. B. By giving examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 7. Which word best describes Orson? A. Adventurous. B. Determined. C. Caring. D. Flexible. C Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 8.

Genius and Luck D If you ask a Westerner to name a successful Chinese consumer-goods brand, most would have struggled until recently. Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change. Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. It is expanding in South America, as is Meituan, a Beijing-based delivery app. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1, 300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia; just a few years ago, it had almost none. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful enterprises. Western consumers have been buying products made in China for decades. However these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera. The video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” one of the most successful ever, features the Monkey King from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity. 12. What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Caused public excitement. B. Made a loud noise. C. Lost great popularity. D. Received negative comments. 13. How did the western consumers find Chinese brands? A. Full of imagination. B. Short of creativity. C. Quality guaranteed. D. Mass produced. 14. What is the author’s advice for the western brands? A. Notice different bubble tea. B. Ignore the Chinese influence. C. Cooperate with Chinese brands. D. Lower the price of the products. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Chinese retail brands. B. How foreign firms win Chinese customers. C. Why Chinese products were unpopular before. D. The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Throughout our lives, we usually look for just one answer to each question we encounter, like when we ask what 2+2 equals or what the capital of India is. ____16____ The “one-problem, one-answer” mindset is deeply rooted in how we think. But what happens if we’re asked to generate different responses instead of one correct answer? ____17____ I asked them “What if there is more than one way to record the answer to 2+2?” They voiced varied answers, such as ½ of 8, how Lincoln began “The Gettysburg Address”, the number of runners on a relay team, and the number following 3, etc. These kids weren’t “boxed in” by the artificial “requirement” of finding a single right answer. Rather, they were asked a question beginning with the two words “What if……?” ____18____ What lies behind the issue then?

Simply stated, we tell students to color inside the lines and then expect adults to think outside the box. ____20____ Ask open-ended questions more often to encourage students to explore different ways of thinking.

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless and down all the time. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her. I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone was easy. It was teaching her how to use it that proved challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the following hours, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe(滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe?” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her. She pressed at the screen and got annoyed when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she cried. “I want my old phone back!” I was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home while she was angry and upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The thrill never faded. Over the next few weeks, Eileen kept on practicing her new phone and experimenting with every possible new app. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
