Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors. Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project. A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park. Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are not only unpleasant to see, but they’re a dangerous addition to the environment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air. Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail. TN State Parks explained how the trail’s construction, which has been in development since 2019, was a joint effort. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project. These officials named their initiative the “Tires to Trails” project. Workers from these departments, alongside some 450 volunteers, came together to collect over 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled. “This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use,” David, a leader of the project, said in a statement. 24. What kind of park is T.O. Fuller State Park? A. It is a popular park with a good tradition. B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors. C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river. D. It is a modern park without biking trails. 25. Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment? A. They are ugly to see. B. They release harmful gasses. C. They are made up of plastic. D. They could only be used to pave the new trail. 26. What does David mean in the last paragraph? A. It is the park’s responsibility to recycle. B. The park is built on dumped materials. C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires. D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things. 27. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Areas of Reusing Tires B. Methods of Rebuilding a Trail C. Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail D. Officials and People Working Together to Recycle Tires C Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting (坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding. When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem. 28. What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech? A. A probable disbelief. B. True meaning behind words. C. An unclear condition. D. A dull speech. 29. Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2? A. To show body language can help us all the time. B. To tell body language can show the true side of us. C. To explain how challenging it is to read body language. D. To tell teachers how to assess a student’s understanding. 30. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs? A. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood. B. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident. C. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence. D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Knowing Your Friends with Body Language B Understanding Others by Body Language C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language D. Helping Communicate with Body Language 第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Great parks require great designs.

It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the real deed. A boy with the name Tom gave us a good example. Tom and John were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Tom and John were going home after school, they saw some people fighting on the street corner. Tom said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But John refused. “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go”, said Tom, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. John had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore. But Tom thought John was a co ward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon John and didn’t want to play with him. John was sad but he wasn’t angry with Tom for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as usual. However, Tom didn’t invite John to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought John was a coward. Every day after school, Tom and his new friends didn’t go home directly but went to bathe in the river nearby and had lots of fun. Paragraph 1: A few days later, something terrible happened to Tom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, John happened to pass by. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 莆田华侨中学2025-2026学年上学期高二年级第二次月考 英语学科 （满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分) 第一节（共5小题，每题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 30 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is Karen going to do this Saturday?

I started this journey because of my dad. He’s 81, and I’ve always admired his love for animals. I thought it would be a great way to bond with him, so we decided to volunteer together. At the sanctuary, we did all kinds of work, from removing goat droppings to building tortoise shelters. It might sound like hard work, and it was, but it was also incredibly rewarding. Every day, I felt a deep sense of joy knowing that we were making a difference in these animals’ lives. Volunteering there not only brought my dad and me closer but also filled my heart with happiness. I truly believe that helping these lovely creatures is one of the most meaningful things we can do. So, if you have a passion for animals, come and join us as volunteers. You’ll not only change their lives but also your own! 第二部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共 11小题;每小题 2.5分，满分 27.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中，选出最佳选项、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Rocky Mountain National Park Tour from Denver Overview See for yourself why Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular parks in the United States on a day trip from Denver.

O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors. Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project. A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park. Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are not only unpleasant to see, but they’re a dangerous addition to the environment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air. Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail. TN State Parks explained how the trail’s construction, which has been in development since 2019, was a joint effort. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project. These officials named their initiative the “Tires to Trails” project. Workers from these departments, alongside some 450 volunteers, came together to collect over 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled. “This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use,” David, a leader of the project, said in a statement. 24. What kind of park is T.O. Fuller State Park? A. It is a popular park with a good tradition. B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors. C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river. D. It is a modern park without biking trails. 25. Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment? A They are ugly to see. B. They release harmful gasses. C. They are made up of plastic. D. They could only be used to pave the new trail. 26. What does David mean in the last paragraph? A. It is the park’s responsibility to recycle. B. The park is built on dumped materials. C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires. D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things. 27. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Areas of Reusing Tires B. Methods of Rebuilding a Trail C. Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail D. Officials and People Working Together to Recycle Tires 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是田纳西州的T.O. Fuller State Park在众人合作的基础上对被丢弃的轮胎进行废物利用，公园里的一条路就是用废弃轮胎建成的。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“T. O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first.(田纳西州Memphis的T. O. Fuller州立公园世世代代受到人们的喜爱，一直是社区至上的地方)”可知，它是一个受欢迎的公园。根据第一段最后一句话“Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project.(80多年后，该公园继续其前瞻性的传统，这一次，通过一个开创性的可持续发展项目)”可知，它是一个有着良好传统的公园，因此T.O. Fuller State Park是一个很受欢迎的公园，有着很好的传统。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air.(橡胶和塑料一样，是一种不会自然分解的材料。在像田纳西州这样炎热的地方，这些被丢弃的轮胎经常开始融化，并将这些有害气体释放到空气中)”可知，废弃轮胎会对环境造成危害是因为它们释放有害气体。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use(这是一个循环再利用的完美例子，收集废弃材料，然后将其转化为积极的用途)”可知，David在最后一段的意思是T. O. Fuller State Park在回收废弃轮胎方面做得很成功。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.(幸运的是，旧轮胎被送到了田纳西州Bristol的Patriot Tire Recycling，这是该地区唯一一家可以以环保方式分解轮胎的工厂。在那里，收集到的轮胎被安全地分解成橡胶碎屑，最终用于铺设新的道路)”可知，本篇文章主要讲述了田纳西州的T. O. Fuller State Park在众人合作的基础上对被丢弃的轮胎进行废物利用并用其铺成了一条路的故事，因此最好的题目是C选项“Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail(轮胎变成了一条新的徒步旅行路线)”。故选C。 C Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting (坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding. When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem. 28. What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech? A. A probable disbelief. B. True meaning behind words. C. An unclear condition. D. A dull speech. 29. Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2? A. To show body language can help us all the time. B. To tell body language can show the true side of us. C. To explain how challenging it is to read body language. D. To tell teachers how to assess a student’s understanding. 30. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs? A. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood. B. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident. C. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence. D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Knowing Your Friends with Body Language B. Understanding Others by Body Language C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language D. Helping Communicate with Body Language 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。全文说明肢体语言在我们生活中的作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。从第一段“These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.(这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”可知，如果肢体语言与我们语言不一致，就有可能传递不信任或者困惑的信息。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。从第二段“Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. (一些非语言符号无意中传达了我们自己不想让别人知道的部分。)”可以推断出，作者举例说明有些非语言性的符号能展现我们真实的一面。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.(当你真诚地说话时，你的肢体语言会通过手势或面部表情来回应你的话，这是很自然的。我们在谈话中也会用手势来讲故事或描述物体，通常用手势来显示物体的大小。这些大多是无意识的、自然发生的肢体语言。)”以及下段“It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.(当你可能没有内在感觉时，很难对自己的行为表达信心。研究表明，当你表现出自信的肢体语言时，比如良好的姿势或眼神交流，即使你在有意识地努力，也会让你感到更加自信。在与他人交谈时，练习控制烦躁的冲动，自信地站稳脚跟，以增强自尊。)”可知，作者讲述的合适的肢体语言能让我们展现自信的一面可推断，合适的身体语言能在自信中帮助我们。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.(肢体语言是交际的重要组成部分，与口语交流同样重要。肢体语言可以是有意识的，也可以是无意识的，所以确保你的身体发出的信息与你的言语相同，以确保良好的沟通是很重要的。这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”以及下文可知，文章讲述了身体语言在帮助我们沟通上的作用。所以D项Helping Communicate with Body Language(用肢体语言帮助沟通)符合语境。故选D项。 第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Great parks require great designs.

A design process for a new park set within a neighborhood of immigrants will work with these park users to understand their needs and desires.(伟大的公园不会忽视它们的自然环境或社会环境，而是直接对其作出反应。一个新公园的设计过程将与这些公园的用户一起工作，以了解他们的需求和愿望)”可知，伟大的公园会考虑它的自然环境或社会环境，考虑到公园用户的需求和愿望。由此可知，本段讲述的设计原则应与“自然或社会环境相关”，A选项“Sensitive to context.(对环境敏感)”为形容词短语，且与本段讲述的内容吻合。故选A项。 第三部分语言运用(共三节，满分40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。 Every person has a seed of life purpose in their heart.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】is banned 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：虽然萨米人被允许在公园里继续他们的传统生活方式，但其他人不能住在这里，而且在公园边界内禁止任何新的开发。空处为谓语动词，主语all new development与ban构成被动关系，结合句意及前文时态可知此处描述一个事实，使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义，be动词使用is。故填is banned。 55. _______ reindeer were always on the move,the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】Since 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句。句意：由于驯鹿总是四处迁徙，所以萨米人会把帐篷带上，跟随驯鹿一起移动。引导原因状语从句，表示“由于”用since，首字母大写。故填Since。 56. Come to Dollywood to have fun ________(learn) all about America’s historical southeastern culture! (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】learning 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词作宾语和固定短语。句意：来多莱坞尽情学习美国东南部的历史文化吧！have fun (in) doing sth.为固定短语，意为“喜欢做某事”，因此空格处用动名词作宾语，故填learning。 57. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, ________ (include) polar bears. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】including 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：当然，你还能看到各种各样的有趣动物，其中包括北极熊。后跟名词作宾语，表示“包含”用介词including。故填including。 58. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always ________(approve) of.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】approved 【解析】 【详解】考查被动语态。句意：相比之下，在其他国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可的。分析句子可知，本句谓语不完整，结合句意，需使用被动语态，即“be done”结构，因此填approved，is approved是谓语动词一般现在时的被动语态。故填approved。 59. We use both words and body languages to express our thoughts and opinions in our _________ (interact) with other people. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】interactions 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：在与他人的交流中，我们不仅通过言语来表达自己的想法和观点，还会借助肢体语言来传达这些信息。作介词的宾语，用名词interaction，结合上文We use both words and body languages to express our thoughts可知数量大于一用复数。故填interactions。 60. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person ________ (employ) the gesture might think it means money. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】employing 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在日本，如果有人看到别人做出这种手势，可能会认为其意在表示“钱”。witness sb. doing sth，意为“目睹/看见某人做某事”，此处person与employ构成主动关系，故用现在分词作宾补。故填employing。 61. While it is easy to perceive when students are interested, bored, or distracted, it is sometimes much ________ (hard) to distinguish when students are troubled. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】harder 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词比较级。句意：虽然很容易察觉学生何时感兴趣、感到无聊或分心，但有时更难辨别学生何时遇到困扰。much常用来修饰比较级，hard比较级是harder，在句中作表语。故填harder。 第三节 课文语法填空 （共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Different cultures communicate in very different ways. In Asia, people use lots of body language, facial expressions, and silence ____62____ (express) meaning. For instance, in Japan, it might be ____63____ (normal) viewed as rude to directly object to a statement. However, in the West, speaking directly is not only normal but valued. People place _____64_____ (much) focus on the actual words being used than on cues (暗示) of body language. Additionally, in China, it is common for someone to smile when they don’t understand something. This could be ____65____ (confuse) for a Westerner who might think this means the listener understands and agrees with ____66____ is being said. Another communicative feature ____67____ is viewed differently across the world is interruptions (插嘴). In many ____68____ (part) of the West, interrupting another person when they are speaking is considered to be rude. However, in some African and Latin American countries, it is viewed as a means to join and actively participate in the conversation. Even within ____69____ same continent (洲), cultures can vary from country to country. For example, in the UK, it is very common to say “please” and “thank you” to someone ____70____ (serve) you in a shop or restaurant, but in Spain, these expressions _____71_____(hear) much less often and are reserved more for requesting or receiving kindness. 【答案】62. to express 63. normally 64. more 65. confusing 66. what 67. that##which 68. parts 69. the 70. serving 71. are heard 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在交流中，不同的文化有着不同的沟通方式。 【62题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：在非语言交流方面，亚洲人使用各种肢体语言、面部表情和沉默来表达意思。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定用法“use sth. to do sth.”，其中不定式作目的状语，所以此处使用动词不定式形式。故填to express。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：例如，在日本，直接反对一项声明通常会被视为粗鲁。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰动词，normal的副词为normally意为“通常”符合句意。故填normally。 【64题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：比起非语言暗示，人们更关注实际使用的词语。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词focus，根据空后的than可知，此处为形容词比较级。故填more。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这可能会让西方人感到困惑，他们可能会认为这意味着听者理解并同意所说的话。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，confuse的形容词confusing意为“令人困惑的”符合句意。故填confusing。 【66题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：这可能会让西方人感到困惑，他们可能会认为这意味着听者理解并同意所说的话。分析句子结构可知，此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作agree with的宾语，从句中缺少主语，指的是事情，所以此处使用连接代词what。故填what。 【67题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：另一个在世界各地有不同看法的交际特征是插嘴。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处使用关系代词，先行词feature指的是事物，所以此处使用关系代词that或which。故填that或which。 【68题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：在西方许多地方，打断别人说话被认为是粗鲁的。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，空前有many修饰，所以此处使用名词复数。故填parts。 【69题详解】 考查冠词。句意：即使在同一大洲，礼仪也会因文化而异。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语the same意为“同一，一样”符合句意。故填the。 【70题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：例如，在英国，在商店或餐馆里，对为你服务的人说“请”和“谢谢”是很常见的，但在西班牙，这些词在日常环境中听到的频率要低得多，更多的是用于请求或接受善意。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰someone，serve与someone之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填serving。 【71题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：例如，在英国，在商店或餐馆里，对为你服务的人说“请”和“谢谢”是很常见的，但在西班牙，这些词在日常环境中听到的频率要低得多，更多的是用于请求或接受善意。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据并列谓语are reserved可知，此处使用一般现在时，且hear与主语these expressions之间为被动关系，且主语为名词复数。故填are heard。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节. 应用文写作 (满分15分) 72. 假设你是李华，是北京欢乐谷的一名导游。请你根据以下要点，向一个英国中学生旅游团进行简单的景点介绍： （1）北京欢乐谷（Happy Valley of Beijing）主题公园占地56万平方米，于2006年7月对外开放； （2）游客可以参与多项活动，有多种设施（facility）可以满足不同年龄段人群的需要； （3）可以观看多种精彩表演： （4）参观时要注意安全。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear friends, Welcome to Happy Valley of Beijing!

It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the real deed. A boy with the name Tom gave us a good example. Tom and John were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Tom and John were going home after school, they saw some people fighting on the street corner. Tom said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But John refused. “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go”, said Tom, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. John had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore. But Tom thought John was a co ward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon John and didn’t want to play with him. John was sad but he wasn’t angry with Tom for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as usual. However, Tom didn’t invite John to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought John was a coward. Every day after school, Tom and his new friends didn’t go home directly but went to bathe in the river nearby and had lots of fun. Paragraph 1: A few days later, something terrible happened to Tom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, John happened to pass by. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few days later, something terrible happened to Tom. That afternoon after school, Tom was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly, he was stuck by something and couldn't get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called John a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him. At that moment, John happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Tom was almost drowned, John took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Tom just as he was sinking for the last time. With great effort, he brought Tom to the shore in time. John was happy to help his friend, though he was extremely tired. What John did taught us a lesson about what is really brave. From then on, all the children haven’t made fun of John. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“勇敢”的真正内涵为核心线索展开叙事。故事中，汤姆与约翰对勇敢有着截然不同的认知，汤姆将冒险涉险视为勇敢，而约翰则坚守内心的正义与责任，认为真正的勇敢是在面对误解与嘲笑时仍能坚持原则，并在他人危难时挺身而出。一场突如其来的意外，让汤姆的“勇敢”陷入困境，而约翰的勇敢之举则成为救赎，深刻诠释了勇敢的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“几天后，汤姆遭遇了可怕的事情。”可知，第一段可以描写汤姆在河里洗澡时突然被困，呼救无果，其他男孩因害怕而逃离，没有伸出援手的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“就在那时，约翰恰好路过。”可知，第二段可以描写约翰听到呼救后，毫不犹豫跳入水中救出汤姆，并因此让大家认识到什么是真正的勇敢。 2.续写线索： 汤姆被困——呼救无果——其他男孩逃离——约翰路过——跳水救人——成功获救——大家认识到真正的勇敢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挣扎：struggle/fight ②尖叫：scream/shout ③脱下：take off/remove ④跳入：jump into/dive into 情绪类 ①开心地：happily/amusedly ②害怕的：scared/frightened ③快乐的：happy/joyful 【点睛】【高分句型1】The boys who had called John a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. （运用了who引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Seeing Tom was almost drowned，John took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation.（运用了现在分词作状语，以及省略了引导词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2025至2026学年上五线联考高二年级英语期中质量检测听力部分。第一节听下面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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Caron, are you reading a book?
