While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent. Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom. I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather than freedom. Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. 4. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach? A. She stayed with Black families only. B. She avoided getting her hair and suits wet. C. She seemed to swim with ease and strength. D. She stood outside of the swimming section. 5. What does the author realize about African slaves? A. They were poisonous by sea creatures. B. They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities. C. They rarely swam due to natural dangers. D. They could have easily escaped by swimming. 6. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim? A. To challenge her limits. B. To build her confidence. C. To prepare her for dangers at sea. D. To prove Black people could swim. 7. Which title best suits the passage? A. Overcoming Fears at Revere Beach B. A Summer That Changed My Childhood C. Breaking Self-Doubt and Cultural Bias D. Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，以及这段经历对作者产生的深远影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. (九岁那年，我还没意识到，我和奶奶从我们居住的黑人社区，前往以白人为主的里维尔海滩，是一件多么不寻常的事。当时黑人家庭都聚在海滩的一个区域，很少有人单独外出，而奶奶却格外显眼 —— 她游泳时自信又矫健，不像其他女性那样顾虑头发或泳衣是否会乱。)”可知，祖母和其他女人不一样，她在游泳时自信且健壮，而其他女人担心自己的头发或衣服。因此，祖母与其他女人的不同之处在于她游泳时显得轻松而有力。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. (我曾经想知道为什么被奴役的非洲人没有从靠近岸边的船上跳下来，游到自由的地方。后来我了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险。)”可知，作者后来了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险，所以非洲奴隶很少游泳是因为自然危险。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，祖母教作者游泳不是为了划水，而是为了让她在生活中保持力量和自信。因此，祖母教作者游泳是为了建立她的自信。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (她安静的欺骗不是谎言，而是一种深刻的勇敢和勇气行为。虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，祖母虽然自己不会游泳，但仍然勇敢地教作者游泳，让她在生活中保持力量和自信，这段经历对作者产生了深远的影响，让她克服了自我怀疑和文化偏见。因此，D选项“Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons (祖母的赋能课)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。 C Electric vehicles (EVs) can help cut fuel expenses and lower emissions compared to gasoline-powered cars. However, their success depends heavily on the availability of convenient charging options. For people living in apartments or dense urban neighborhoods, access to charging stations is often limited, which continues to slow wider EV adoption. To help close this gap, researchers at Penn State designed a framework to develop and assess streetlight-based charging systems as a solution. The team set up 23 upgraded streetlights in Kansas City, Missouri, to test the concept. Their findings showed that streetlight chargers were not only more cost-efficient and time-efficient than traditional charging stations, but they also produced fewer environmental impacts. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the researchers partnered with organizations and companies to upgrade existing streetlights to function as EV chargers. They then established a framework — focused on demand, practicality and benefits — for other communities to use to develop streetlight EV charger s. To determine demand, the researchers looked at factors including land use, station density, points of interest nearby, and traffic volume and then used the data to train artificial intelligence models to make demand predictions based on these factors. Compared to traditional EV charging ports, the researchers found that streetlight charger s were much cheaper to set up, since the streetlights already existed. They also found that the streetlight chargers offered significantly faster charging speeds, likely because they draw power from dedicated electrical lines and face less competition from multiple vehicles charging at the same time. The streetlight charging stations also benefited the environment, since there were energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions by using locations where cars were already parking. For next steps, the researchers said they would like to build on their models by adding more detailed socioeconomic data and weather information. It will help identify communities with limited EV access or adoption potential, ensuring a fairer setup of facilities. Weather data is also critical, as extreme temperatures can affect battery performance, travel frequency and overall energy demand. 8. What is the primary focus of the Penn State research project? A. The comparison of electric and gasoline vehicles. B. The creation of a highly efficient EV charging network. C. The development of energy-saving streetlights. D. The application of AI in urban traffic management. 9. What did the researchers do to determine demand for streetlight chargers? A. They surveyed public charging habits. B. They developed a beneficial framework. C. They trained AI models for predictions. D. They upgraded the existing streetlights. 10. What is an advantage of streetlight chargers over traditional ports? A. They win greater public favor. B. They require much less maintenance. C. They charge significantly faster. D. They use more eco-friendly materials. 11. According to the text, what will the research team do next? A. Improve their models with more specific data. B. Expand the system to rural areas nationwide. C. Design new chargers for extreme weather. D. Lower the production costs for electric vehicles. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍一项关于路灯式电动汽车充电系统的研究成果，解释其设计原理、实施过程、优势及未来方向。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Electric vehicles (EVs) can help cut fuel expenses and lower emissions compared to gasoline-powered cars. However, their success depends heavily on the availability of convenient charging options. For people living in apartments or dense urban neighborhoods, access to charging stations is often limited, which continues to slow wider EV adoption. (与汽油动力汽车相比，电动汽车（EV）有助于削减燃料费用并降低排放。然而，电动汽车的成功在很大程度上取决于便捷充电选项的普及程度。对于居住在公寓或人口密集的城市社区的人们来说，充电站的获取途径往往有限，这继续阻碍着电动汽车的更广泛普及)”以及第二段“ To help close this gap, researchers at Penn State designed a framework to develop and assess streetlight-based charging systems as a solution. (为了帮助缩小这一差距，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员设计了一个框架，以开发和评估基于路灯的充电系统作为解决方案。)”可推知，宾夕法尼亚州立大学研究项目的主要重点是建立高效的电动汽车充电网络。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To determine demand, the researchers looked at factors including land use, station density, points of interest nearby, and traffic volume and then used the data to train artificial intelligence models to make demand predictions based on these factors. (为了确定需求，研究人员研究了包括土地使用、车站密度、附近兴趣点和交通量在内的因素，然后使用数据训练人工智能模型，根据这些因素做出需求预测。)”可知，研究人员训练人工智能模型进行预测来确定对路灯充电器的需求。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Compared to traditional EV charging ports, the researchers found that streetlight charger s were much cheaper to set up, since the streetlights already existed. They also found that the streetlight charger s offered significantly faster charging speeds, likely because they draw power from dedicated electrical lines and face less competition from multiple vehicles charging at the same time. (研究人员发现，与传统的电动汽车充电端口相比，路灯充电器的安装成本要低得多，因为路灯已经存在了。他们还发现，路灯充电器的充电速度要快得多，这可能是因为它们从专用的电线中获取电力，因此面临的多辆车同时充电的竞争更少。)”可知，路灯充电器与传统充电端口相比，它们的充电速度快得多。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For next steps, the researchers said they would like to build on their models by adding more detailed socioeconomic data and weather information. It will help identify communities with limited EV access or adoption potential, ensuring a fairer setup of facilities. Weather data is also critical, as extreme temperatures can affect battery performance, travel frequency and overall energy demand. (对于下一步，研究人员表示，他们希望通过添加更详细的社会经济数据和天气信息来建立他们的模型。它将有助于确定电动汽车接入或采用潜力有限的社区，确保更公平的设施设置。天气数据也很重要，因为极端温度会影响电池性能、出行频率和整体能源需求。)”可知，研究小组下一步准备用更具体的数据改进他们的模型。故选A项。 D A recent experiment on China’s space station showed that it’s possible to have closed aquatic (水生的) ecosystems in space. In this experiment, zebrafish, a small fish, successfully completed their life cycle from growth to reproduction in 43 days. On April 25th, four zebrafish, along with four grams of aquatic plants and three Chinese astronauts, were sent into space on the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft. The goal was to create a closed aquatic ecosystem where plants would produce oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用) to keep the fish alive. The fish, in turn, would provide nutrients to the plants through their waste. This setup aimed to create an environment where life could be sustained without outside help. Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the CAS designed the experiment. They built a fish tank with an advanced recycling system. The zebrafish food was injected into it with a syringe (注射器) to keep the ecosystem self-sufficient. The zebrafish, which are about 3 to 5 centimeters long, laid over 300 eggs at a time. Because zebrafish share over 70% of their genes with humans, they are ideal for studying human diseases and developing new drugs. In the microgravity of the space station, the zebrafish exhibited peculiar swimming patterns, including upside-down and spinning. These observations helped researchers understand how vertebrates (脊椎动物) adapt to space conditions. This experiment laid the foundation for future research in aquatic biology and space medicine. It also opened the door to sending more vertebrates into space to study their long-term effects. The water samples collected by the astronauts were brought back to Earth and stored in ultra-low temperature cases for further analysis. The successful creation of a closed aquatic ecosystem on the space station is a big achievement for China’s space technology. It advances our understanding of life in space and provides important data and support for future missions. With over 500 labs in China working on zebrafish research, this experiment opens new possibilities in space biology and life sciences. 12. What was the main purpose of the experiment involving zebrafish? A. To see how long zebrafish can survive in space. B. To study the effects of microgravity on human cells. C. To create a self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem in space. D. To test the ability of zebrafish to swim in microgravity. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The tank. B. The food. C. The system. D. The experiment. 14. What did the zebrafish exhibit in the microgravity environment? A. Rapid growth. B. Increased appetite. C. Increased egg production. D. Abnormal swimming behaviors. 15. What can we infer about the experiment from the fifth paragraph? A. It has great significance. B. It involves extensive laboratory analysis. C. The results have been widely applied in daily life. D. It involves cooperation among multiple countries. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国空间站近期进行的一项关于斑马鱼的实验，该实验成功在太空中建立了封闭的水生生态系统，为未来的水生生物学和空间医学研究奠定了基础。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The goal was to create a closed aquatic ecosystem where plants would produce oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用) to keep the fish alive. (目标是创建一个封闭的水生生态系统，植物通过光合作用产生氧气来维持鱼的生存)”可知，实验的主要目的是在太空中创建一个自给自足的水生生态系统。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“They built a fish tank with an advanced recycling system. The zebrafish food was injected into it with a syringe (注射器) to keep the ecosystem self-sufficient. (他们建造了一个带有先进循环系统的水族箱。斑马鱼的食物用注射器注入到鱼缸中，以保持生态系统的自给自足)”和指代关系可知，指示代词it指代前文提到的“水族箱”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the microgravity of the space station, the zebrafish exhibited peculiar swimming patterns, including upside-down and spinning. (在空间站的微重力环境下，斑马鱼表现出奇特的游泳模式，包括倒立和旋转)”可知，斑马鱼在微重力环境下表现出异常的游泳行为。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“This experiment laid the foundation for future research in aquatic biology and space medicine. It also opened the door to sending more vertebrates into space to study their long-term effects. (这项实验为未来的水生生物学和空间医学研究奠定了基础。它还为将更多的脊椎动物送入太空以研究其长期影响打开了大门)”可推知，这项实验为未来的研究奠定了基础，具有重要的意义。故选A项。 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。 I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team. Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. ____16____ But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long. Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. ____17____ But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. ____18____ That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. ____19____ That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. Great teams are not on the same page all the time. ____20____ So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. A. We can still agree to disagree. B. But great teams know how to get there. C. The best relationships take time and effort. D. It is always complex and often requires multiple steps. E. Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution. F. People on a team often work together towards a common goal. G. That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20.

Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. (这是我最喜欢的一个团队理念：优秀团队的标志并非是没有冲突，而是具备解决冲突的能力。)”提出了关于优秀团队与冲突关系的核心观点，下文“But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. (但相比其他任何因素，我们持续解决冲突的能力对团队的影响都更大。)”强调了解决冲突能力的重要性。G项“这是因为即使是最优秀的团队也不可避免地会产生冲突。”承上启下，“this”指代上文“优秀团队需具备解决冲突能力”的观点，解释了该观点的原因——冲突无法避免，从而自然衔接下文对“解决冲突能力”重要性的论述，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Now, the ‘how’ is the hardest part of conflict resolution. (如今，如何解决冲突是冲突处理中最难的部分。)”点明了冲突解决的难点在于具体方法，下文“But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. (但以我的经验来看，持续解决冲突的核心在于倾听和尊重。)”通过转折给出了冲突解决的关键要素。D项“它往往很复杂，通常需要多个步骤。”承接上文，“it”指代“conflict resolution”，进一步说明冲突解决的难度——复杂且步骤多，为下文转折引出核心解决方法做铺垫，符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 上文“When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. (当我们彼此倾听、尊重对立的视角时，就能进行理性的对话。)”指出了倾听和尊重能带来理性对话的结果，E项“那么我们就有可能朝着最终解决冲突的方向迈进。”承接上文，“then”承接前文“进行理性对话”的前提，说明该前提能推动冲突走向解决，形成逻辑上的递进，贴合段落关于冲突解决的论述。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. (倾听并尊重他人的观点，并不意味着我们必须始终达成一致。)”表明了“倾听尊重”与“意见一致”的关系，下文“That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. (这没关系。但简单的倾听技巧和尊重的表现，是持续且理性解决冲突的核心。)”说明意见不一致也不影响冲突解决。A项“我们仍然可以求同存异。”承接上文，对“不必始终达成一致”进行具体阐释，即可以保留不同意见，同时衔接下文“这没关系”的表述，逻辑通顺。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“Great teams are not on the same page all the time. (优秀的团队并非始终意见一致。)”指出优秀团队也会存在分歧，下文“So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. (因此，当你试图打造一支优秀团队，或者你认为自己已经拥有一支优秀团队并想保持其优秀时，花些时间思考如何处理团队意见不一致的艰难时刻。)”强调了处理分歧的重要性。B项“但优秀的团队知道如何达成共识。”承接上文，通过“but”转折，在承认团队会有分歧的基础上，点明优秀团队的核心能力——懂得如何达成共识，为下文提出“处理分歧”的建议做铺垫，符合文章主旨。故选B。 第三部分: 英语知识运用（共四节，满分45分） 第一节: 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

Dad smiled, handing us a list, “Lily, you’ll handle planning the layout (布局) and buying seedlings (幼苗). Tom, you’ re in charge of clearing the weeds and digging the soil. Teamwork makes the dream work” He paused, glancing at the calendar on the wall where Mom’s birthday was circled in red. “Three months is quite enough for those tomato seedlings to bear fruit—perfect timing if we get started now.” The first weekend, conflict erupted. I spent hours researching online but forgot to buy the seedlings, comforting myself “too busy with homework.” Tom was pulling weeds for hours, sweating profusely. Several days later, he marched into the garden expecting to find rows of seedlings, only to be met with empty yard, and then exploded with anger, shouting “You didn’t even do your basic job I’m doing all the hard work while you’re sitting on the couch Look！ My gloves are worn out” I fired back, “Digging is easy My part requires intelligence, not just brute force” We refused to speak to each other, leaving the half-cleared yard in chaos. Dad didn’t intervene immediately; instead, he left a note on the kitchen table, “Labor teaches us responsibility, and teamwork means supporting each other, not blaming.” That night, I couldn’t sleep, remembering how Tom had helped me fix my bike last year, even though he’d had a fever. Meanwhile, Tom lay in his room staring at the layout paper I threw to him earlier that week, recalling the way I’d lingered over the layout drawings many times, saying, “Mom will definitely love it.” The next morning, I woke up at dawn, grabbed my wallet, and raced to the store. I came back with not just tomato seedlings but also a new pair of gardening gloves for Tom. 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。 Para. 1: Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Finally, the big day came—Mom’s birthday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings. “Sorry I messed up earlier, I shouldn’t have been rude to you.” I mumbled. Tom turned around, with a faint surprise crossing his face. He took them readily and grinned, “That’s all right. Let’s get started.” Together, we planted the seedlings, him digging neat holes and me arranging them according to the layout. Sweat dripped down our faces, but laughter replaced our earlier misunderstanding as we helped each other. We waited, hopeful for a little miracle to take root. Finally, the big day came — Mom’s birthday. We led her to the garden, where ripe tomatoes hung thick and heavy on the branches. Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift — seeing you two work together.” Dad, together with us, picked some fresh tomatoes to make sauce. We enjoyed it, chatting and laughing joyfully. Teamwork and understanding didn’t just grow plants, they bonded our hearts closer and wove our family closer. Family love is a gift far sweeter than any sauce, a memory we would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述父亲提议将杂草丛生的后院改造成菜园，作者负责规划布局和购买幼苗，弟弟汤姆负责清理杂草和挖土，目标是赶在母亲生日时种出蔬菜。首个周末，因作者忘记买幼苗，两人发生冲突。当晚，姐弟俩回忆起对方的好，第二天，作者一早去买了幼苗和手套。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我到的时候，汤姆已经在后院了”可知，第一段续写应围绕姐弟俩和好后一起劳作展开，描述作者道歉，汤姆接受，两人分工协作种植幼苗，充满欢笑，期待植物生根成长。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，那个重要的日子来临了 —— 妈妈的生日”可知，第二段续写要展现母亲生日当天，菜园成果丰硕，大家一起采摘番茄做酱，一家人欢乐相聚，突出团队合作和理解拉近家人关系，是最珍贵的礼物。 2.续写线索：作者道歉——汤姆接受——两人分工种幼苗——充满欢笑期待收获——母亲生日看到菜园成果感动——家人摘番茄做酱欢乐相聚——感悟团队合作和家庭之爱。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach /get close to ②咧嘴笑：grin /beam ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①欢乐地：joyfully /merrily ②紧紧地：tightly /firmly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings.（运用现在分词短语 holding out the gloves and seedlings作伴随状语） 【高分句型 2】Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift—seeing you two work together.”（运用独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省叶县高级中学2025-2026学年高二上学期12月月考英语试卷 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.

A. $3,250 B. $3,500 C. $3,750 D. $3,850 B At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent. Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom. I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather than freedom. Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. 4. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach? A. She stayed with Black families only. B. She avoided getting her hair and suits wet. C. She seemed to swim with ease and strength. D. She stood outside of the swimming section. 5. What does the author realize about African slaves? A. They were poisonous by sea creatures. B. They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities. C. They rarely swam due to natural dangers. D. They could have easily escaped by swimming. 6. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim? A. To challenge her limits. B. To build her confidence. C. To prepare her for dangers at sea. D. To prove Black people could swim. 7. Which title best suits the passage? A. Overcoming Fears at Revere Beach B. A Summer That Changed My Childhood C. Breaking Self-Doubt and Cultural Bias D. Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons C Electric vehicles (EVs) can help cut fuel expenses and lower emissions compared to gasoline-powered cars. However, their success depends heavily on the availability of convenient charging options. For people living in apartments or dense urban neighborhoods, access to charging stations is often limited, which continues to slow wider EV adoption. To help close this gap, researchers at Penn State designed a framework to develop and assess streetlight-based charging systems as a solution. The team set up 23 upgraded streetlights in Kansas City, Missouri, to test the concept. Their findings showed that streetlight chargers were not only more cost-efficient and time-efficient than traditional charging stations, but they also produced fewer environmental impacts. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the researchers partnered with organizations and companies to upgrade existing streetlights to function as EV chargers. They then established a framework — focused on demand, practicality and benefits — for other communities to use to develop streetlight EV charger s. To determine demand, the researchers looked at factors including land use, station density, points of interest nearby, and traffic volume and then used the data to train artificial intelligence models to make demand predictions based on these factors. Compared to traditional EV charging ports, the researchers found that streetlight charger s were much cheaper to set up, since the streetlights already existed. They also found that the streetlight chargers offered significantly faster charging speeds, likely because they draw power from dedicated electrical lines and face less competition from multiple vehicles charging at the same time. The streetlight charging stations also benefited the environment, since there were energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions by using locations where cars were already parking. For next steps, the researchers said they would like to build on their models by adding more detailed socioeconomic data and weather information. It will help identify communities with limited EV access or adoption potential, ensuring a fairer setup of facilities. Weather data is also critical, as extreme temperatures can affect battery performance, travel frequency and overall energy demand. 8. What is the primary focus of the Penn State research project? A. The comparison of electric and gasoline vehicles. B. The creation of a highly efficient EV charging network. C. The development of energy-saving streetlights. D. The application of AI in urban traffic management. 9. What did the researchers do to determine demand for streetlight chargers? A. They surveyed public charging habits. B. They developed a beneficial framework. C. They trained AI models for predictions. D. They upgraded the existing streetlights. 10. What is an advantage of streetlight chargers over traditional ports? A. They win greater public favor. B. They require much less maintenance. C. They charge significantly faster. D. They use more eco-friendly materials. 11. According to the text, what will the research team do next? A. Improve their models with more specific data. B. Expand the system to rural areas nationwide. C. Design new chargers for extreme weather. D. Lower the production costs for electric vehicles. D A recent experiment on China’s space station showed that it’s possible to have closed aquatic (水生的) ecosystems in space. In this experiment, zebrafish, a small fish, successfully completed their life cycle from growth to reproduction in 43 days. On April 25th, four zebrafish, along with four grams of aquatic plants and three Chinese astronauts, were sent into space on the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft. The goal was to create a closed aquatic ecosystem where plants would produce oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用) to keep the fish alive. The fish, in turn, would provide nutrients to the plants through their waste. This setup aimed to create an environment where life could be sustained without outside help. Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the CAS designed the experiment. They built a fish tank with an advanced recycling system. The zebrafish food was injected into it with a syringe (注射器) to keep the ecosystem self-sufficient. The zebrafish, which are about 3 to 5 centimeters long, laid over 300 eggs at a time. Because zebrafish share over 70% of their genes with humans, they are ideal for studying human diseases and developing new drugs. In the microgravity of the space station, the zebrafish exhibited peculiar swimming patterns, including upside-down and spinning. These observations helped researchers understand how vertebrates (脊椎动物) adapt to space conditions. This experiment laid the foundation for future research in aquatic biology and space medicine. It also opened the door to sending more vertebrates into space to study their long-term effects. The water samples collected by the astronauts were brought back to Earth and stored in ultra-low temperature cases for further analysis. The successful creation of a closed aquatic ecosystem on the space station is a big achievement for China’s space technology. It advances our understanding of life in space and provides important data and support for future missions. With over 500 labs in China working on zebrafish research, this experiment opens new possibilities in space biology and life sciences. 12. What was the main purpose of the experiment involving zebrafish? A. To see how long zebrafish can survive in space. B. To study the effects of microgravity on human cells. C. To create a self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem in space. D. To test the ability of zebrafish to swim in microgravity. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The tank. B. The food. C. The system. D. The experiment. 14. What did the zebrafish exhibit in the microgravity environment? A. Rapid growth. B. Increased appetite. C. Increased egg production. D. Abnormal swimming behaviors. 15. What can we infer about the experiment from the fifth paragraph? A. It has great significance. B. It involves extensive laboratory analysis. C. The results have been widely applied in daily life. D.

I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team. Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. ____16____ But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long. Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. ____17____ But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. ____18____ That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. ____19____ That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. Great teams are not on the same page all the time. ____20____ So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. A. We can still agree to disagree. B. But great teams know how to get there. C. The best relationships take time and effort. D. It is always complex and often requires multiple steps. E. Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution. F. People on a team often work together towards a common goal. G. That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict. 第三部分: 英语知识运用（共四节，满分45分） 第一节: 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

Dad smiled, handing us a list, “Lily, you’ll handle planning the layout (布局) and buying seedlings (幼苗). Tom, you’ re in charge of clearing the weeds and digging the soil. Teamwork makes the dream work” He paused, glancing at the calendar on the wall where Mom’s birthday was circled in red. “Three months is quite enough for those tomato seedlings to bear fruit—perfect timing if we get started now.” The first weekend, conflict erupted. I spent hours researching online but forgot to buy the seedlings, comforting myself “too busy with homework.” Tom was pulling weeds for hours, sweating profusely. Several days later, he marched into the garden expecting to find rows of seedlings, only to be met with empty yard, and then exploded with anger, shouting “You didn’t even do your basic job I’m doing all the hard work while you’re sitting on the couch Look！ My gloves are worn out” I fired back, “Digging is easy My part requires intelligence, not just brute force” We refused to speak to each other, leaving the half-cleared yard in chaos. Dad didn’t intervene immediately; instead, he left a note on the kitchen table, “Labor teaches us responsibility, and teamwork means supporting each other, not blaming.” That night, I couldn’t sleep, remembering how Tom had helped me fix my bike last year, even though he’d had a fever. Meanwhile, Tom lay in his room staring at the layout paper I threw to him earlier that week, recalling the way I’d lingered over the layout drawings many times, saying, “Mom will definitely love it.” The next morning, I woke up at dawn, grabbed my wallet, and raced to the store. I came back with not just tomato seedlings but also a new pair of gardening gloves for Tom. 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。 Para. 1: Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Finally, the big day came—Mom’s birthday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
