High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my math teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my math struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.
4. Why did the author feel like a tiny fish in a vast ocean at first?
A. Because of excitement and curiosity.
B. Because of the school’s welcoming atmosphere.

5. Which words can best describe the English teacher?

B. Making friends is more important than studying.
C. High school life is much easier than expected.
D. High school is about both study and friendship-building.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost. (当我走进学校大门时,一群学生向我打招呼。走廊里充满了欢声笑语。这让人应接不暇,我感觉自己就像浩瀚海洋里的一条小鱼。我紧紧地攥着课程表,试图找到正确的教室。因为害怕迷路,我的心跳得很快。)”可知,作者是因为面对陌生的校园环境,害怕迷路、难以应对,内心充满对未知环境的恐惧才会有这种感受。故选D。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom. (下一节课是数学,而这恰好是我最薄弱的科目。走进教室时,我心里一阵紧张。)”可知,数学是作者的薄弱学科,进教室时她心里很紧张、焦虑。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn't just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories. (就在这段时间里,我意识到高中不仅仅关乎学术科目,还关乎建立友谊和留下永恒的回忆。)”可知,作者意识到高中生活不只是学习文化课,还包括建立友谊、留存珍贵回忆,即兼顾学习与交友。故选D。
C
Dogs may have become domesticated (驯化的) because our ancestors had more meat than they could eat. During the ice age, hunter-gatherers may have shared food with wolves, which became their pets.
Genetic evidence suggests that dogs became different from their wolf ancestors between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. The oldest known dog burial is from 14,200 years ago, suggesting dogs were already thought as pets by then. But it isn’t clear whether domestication happened in Europe or Asia — or in multiple locations — or why it happened. Dogs are the only animals domesticated by hunter-gatherers: all the others were domesticated after farming became widespread. One suggestion is that people domesticated dogs to help them with hunting, while another is that wolves ate human wastes and became used to people.
Maria Lahtinen of the Finnish Food Authority in Helsinki and her colleagues suggest that the key may have been an extra of meat. During the ice age humans and wolves would have competed for food, as both are top predators (捕食者). However, wolves can survive on nothing but meat — which contains protein and little else — for months. In contrast, humans cannot. There are limits to how much protein our bodies can handle, so we have to eat other food groups such as fat as well. “We are not fully adapted to eat meat,” says Lahtinen. They found that human hunters would have ended up with more of meat than they could consume (消耗). Wolves could have eaten that, meaning the two species weren’t in competition during the hard winters. Instead, humans could have shared meat with wolves without losing out themselves.
Lahtinen suggests that hunter-gatherers may have taken in wolf pups without parents — perhaps viewing them a bit like pets-and fed them on spare meat. They probably didn’t have any long-term goal in mind, but the domesticated wolves would have later proved to be useful hunting partners — reinforcing the domestication. “They must have been very attractive for hunter-gatherers to keep,” says Lahtinen.
8. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Dogs were domesticated first in Europe.
B. Dogs may have become pets 14,200 years ago.
C. Researchers have found the reason why dogs became pets.
D. Dogs and other animals are domesticated by hunter-gathers.
9. Why did humans share meat with wolves according to Maria Lahtinen?
A. Humans loved wolf pups very much.
B. Humans viewed wolves as their pets.
C. Humans had more meat than they could consume.
D. Humans couldn’t compete with wolves in the ice age.
10. What does the underlined word “reinforcing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Strengthening. B. Causing. C. Breaking. D. Ignoring.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of dogs and hunter-gatherers.
B. The relationship between humans and dogs.
C. Humans domesticated dogs by sharing extra meat.
D. Scientists found the lifestyle of humans in the ice age.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了芬兰研究团队提出的新观点——冰河时代人类因无法大量消耗纯肉,将多余肉类分享给狼,从而促成狗的驯化,并解释这一“非竞争共生”机制如何逐步演变为狩猎合作。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The oldest known dog burial is from 14,200 years ago, suggesting dogs were already thought as pets by then. (已知最早的狗葬距今14200年,表明当时狗已被视为宠物。)”可知,约1.42万年前狗就可能成为宠物。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that human hunters would have ended up with more of meat than they could consume. Wolves could have eaten that, meaning the two species weren’t in competition during the hard winters. (研究发现人类猎人最终获得的肉超过自身所能消耗的量,狼可以吃掉这些肉,意味着两个物种在严冬并不竞争。)”可知,“人类有肉吃不完”是分享原因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据末段“They probably didn’t have any long-term goal in mind, but the domesticated wolves would have later proved to be useful hunting partners — reinforcing the domestication. (他们当时可能并没有任何长远打算,但被驯化的狼后来证明是有用的狩猎伙伴,从而reinforcing驯化。)”可知,被驯化的狼可以辅助狩猎,这也就加强了人类驯化狼的动机,可以推断reinforcing意为“加强/巩固”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dogs may have become domesticated (驯化的) because our ancestors had more meat than they could eat. (狗之所以被驯化,可能是因为我们的祖先拥有的肉多得吃不完。)”及全文可知,文章围绕“人类因肉吃不完而分享,从而驯化狗”的新假说展开,C项“Humans domesticated dogs by sharing extra meat. (人类通过分享多余肉类驯化了狗。)”精准概括。故选C项。
D
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子).
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva (唾液) into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people die from these diseases.
In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people from being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies, like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays, but these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
12. Why does the text mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks?
A. To compare different animals.
B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
13. What can we learn about mosquitoes?
A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D. More than 700 million people die from diseases carried by mosquitoes.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B. Some measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C. Chemical solutions for mosquitoes are effective.
D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章通过对比“猛兽”引出真正的“人类杀手”——蚊子,阐述其传播疾病的机制、危害及现有防治手段,并对未来科学解决这一问题持乐观态度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). (小时候我们学到老虎和鲨鱼是危险的动物,我们可能因为它们庞大而强大而害怕它们。然而,随着我们长大,我们认识到有时最危险的动物也是最小的。事实上,杀死人类最多的动物是你熟悉的:蚊子。)”可知,第一段以猛兽引出蚊子话题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva (唾液) into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. (雌蚊叮咬时向血液注入唾液,唾液可能携带致命病菌。)”可知,雌蚊可能传播疾病。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people from being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies, like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays, but these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. (一些家庭把蚊帐挂在床上以防被叮咬;蚊子有许多天敌,如蝙蝠、鸟类、蜻蜓和某些鱼类;把这些天敌引入蚊子栖息地可能有助于减少蚊子数量,这是一种天然办法,但并不总是效果很好;也可以用毒药或喷雾杀灭蚊子,但这些喷雾也可能伤害其他动植物。)”可知,整段列举并评价各种灭蚊措施,主旨是“人们已采取多种方法灭蚊”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段“It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. (科学家很可能终有一天会让大家免受蚊子以及它们携带疾病之害。)”可知,作者对未来持积极态度。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization(WHO).
Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time, WHO said.____16____
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB,分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
____17____ Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞)in our inner ears. These cells detect sounds. However, listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die._____18_____
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. ____19____For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, it may sound uncomfortably loud.
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. ____20____.
A. This is what causes hearing loss.
B. But this can depend on where you are.
C. Loud noises are harmful to the inner ear.
D. There are different ways to protect your hearing.
E. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
F. Young people are more sensitive to different sounds than elder people.
G. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了听大音量音乐的习惯对听力有害。世界卫生组织称超过10亿的年轻人在听力方面存在问题,因为他们长时间大音量听歌等。长时间聆听大音量的声音可能会造成某些细胞的死亡。这就是人们听力损失的原因。
【16题详解】
第一段第二句提到“You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing”(你应该知道这样的习惯对你的听力有害)第一段通过询问是否有听大音量的习惯展开下文,后文里应提到一些不好的习惯,同时第二段提到“Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time”(超过10亿的年轻人由于长时间听大音量的噪音而面临听力损失的风险)由此判断后文中应提到具体的伤害听力的行为。G项“听大声的音乐或观看大声的电视节目会伤害你的听力”符合语境,其中的“Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes”都是损害听力的行为,符合第二段最后一句引起下文的作用,故选G。
【17题详解】
该空处需选择一句段首总起句。第四段第二句提到“Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞)in our inner ears.”(我们大多数人出生时内耳中大约有16000个听毛细胞)可知,本段主要讲述大音量对内耳的伤害。C项“大噪音对内耳有伤害”符合语境,其中the inner ear与后文一致,故选C。
【18题详解】
该空处需选择一句段尾总结句。前文“listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die.”(长时间听大噪音会使这些细胞工作过度,导致其中一些细胞死亡)提到了听毛细胞死亡的原因,A项“这就是造成听力损失的东西”复合语境,“hearing loss”是关键词,与上文构成明显的因果关系,故选A。
【19题详解】
该段段首句提到“Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud.”(有些人可能认为他们的音乐不是那么大声)并在后文中列举了两个地点“subway”(地铁)和“a quiet place”(一个安静的地方),由此判断在不同地方的音量给人的感觉有所不同。B项“但这取决你所在的地方”符合语境,其中的but与上下文是转折关系,且该选项中的“where you are”对应后文中的两个地点。故选B。
【20题详解】
最后一段第一句提到“WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week.”(世界卫生组织表示,大多数声音的“安全水平”是低于80分贝,每周持续40小时)由此可知,E项“80分贝的音量大致相当于地铁的噪音。”符合语境,其中的“A level of 80 decibels”与前文中提到的“80 decibels”一致,且E项是对前文safe level的解释说明。故选E。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Finally, I picked journalism. This ____23____ I had to go to interview a true newspaper reporter. I sat down in front of him ____24____ able to speak. “Did you bring a pencil or pen or some ____25____?” I shook my head.
At last, I thought he ____26____ I was anxious and I got my first big tip as a ____27____: “Never go anywhere without a pen and paper.” Later I gave my oral report totally from ____28____ in class.
I got an A on the project.
Years later, I was looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I ____29____ my goal at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn’t _____30_____ me.

____38____ (study) hard is important for US high school students. In US high schools, everything ____39____ (record) and graded, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing ____40____ (hand) in your homework on time will actually affect your grade in a certain course.

Otherwise, they’ll be disappointed after graduation.
Like university students, US high school students have the freedom to choose the courses ____42____ attract them. Even a 9th grader can sit in ____43____ same classroom as 12th graders. But this also means he or she has to work ____44____ (extreme) hard.

But overcoming these problems will make your ____45____ (confident) stronger.
【答案】36. is 37. stressful
38. Studying
39. is recorded
40. to hand 41. to
42. that##which
43. the 44. extremely
45. confidence
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国高中的学习生活,指出其学业压力并不亚于中国高中,同时提及美国高中生的学习要求、选课自由以及学业挑战等相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:我们认为中国高中的生活是一场冒险,在这场冒险中,我们必须应对堆积如山的作业和考试。We believe是主句,that life in a Chinese high school_______an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams是that引导的宾语从句,陈述客观事实,要用一般现在时。主语life是单数名词,所填be 动词作谓语,要用is。故填is。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,如果我告诉你美国的高中生活几乎和中国的一样有压力,你会感到惊讶吗?as______as放在be动词之后作表语,要填形容词,要将名词stress变成对应的形容词stressful,表示“有压力的”,符合句意。故填stressful。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:努力学习对美国高中生来说很重要。_______hard作主语,要将括号里的动词study变成非谓语动词形式。由于“努力学习”是习惯性动作,而非具体一次,要用V-ing结构作主语,放在句首时首字母要大写。故填Studying。
【39题详解】
考查动词的语态和主谓一致。句意:在美国高中,所有的东西都会被记录并评分,包括你在小测验、测试和期末考试中的成绩。所填词作谓语,时态要用一般现在时和上下文保持一致。主语everything和动词record之间为被动关系,要用一般现在时的被动语态。主语是表示人的复合不定代词,be动词要用is,record的过去分词为recorded。故填is recorded。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:未能按时交作业实际上会影响你某门课程的成绩。Failing_______in your homework on time是V-ing结构作主语,fail to do sth.为固定搭配,表示 “未能做某事”。故填to hand。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:也许与我们过去对美国高中生的看法不同,他们非常注重取得高分,以便进入重点大学。pay great attention to是固定搭配,表示“高度重视”。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:和大学生一样,美国高中生有自由选择吸引他们的课程。______attract them引导定语从句,修饰先行词为courses。先行词指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:甚至九年级的学生能和十二年级的学生坐在同一个教室。由于the same...as...是固定结构,表示“和……一样的……”。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:但这也意味着他或她必须非常努力地学习。空处修饰副词hard,应用副词形式,extreme的副词为extremely。故填extremely。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:但克服这些问题会让你的自信心更强。空处作谓语will make的宾语,且前面有形容词性物主代词your修饰,要将括号中的形容词confident变成名词confidence。该词是不可数名词,没有单复数的变化,故填confidence。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily was a high school student who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (嫉妒的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened.
One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class whose name was Coco. Coco’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Coco never joined the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her.
Lily couldn’t understand why Coco didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Coco sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Coco looked up with a smile. “I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.”
That night, Lily thought about Coco’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what was truly meaningful.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following week, Lily began to learn from Coco.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The following week, Lily began to learn from Coco. She started by organizing her own bookshelf, donating clothes she seldom wore to charity, and spending more time reading in the library. Gradually, she found joy in helping others too. When a classmate struggled with English, Lily offered to study together after school. She even joined Coco in the library volunteer team. Instead of checking social media for the latest trends, she now looked for opportunities to make a difference. Her parents noticed the change — she talked less about buying things and more about what she had learned or who she had helped. One afternoon, while walking home, Lily realized she hadn’t compared herself to anyone all week. For the first time, she felt truly content.
Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. Not only had her grades improved noticeably, but she had also become one of the most kind-hearted and respected students in school. During a class meeting, her teacher mentioned Lily’s transformation as an example of “real growth.” Coco smiled at her from across the room, and Lily knew she had finally understood what her parents meant by “true value.” It wasn’t about what you had, but who you became. Lily still liked pretty things, but now she valued kindness, knowledge, and generosity far more. She had learned that happiness comes not from having more, but from being more — for yourself and for others.
【解析】
【导语】本题为读后续写,要求根据所给短文内容和段落开头语,续写两段使故事完整。原文讲述了Lily从一个爱攀比的中学生,受到同学Coco的积极影响,逐渐转变价值观的故事。续写需紧密衔接前文,体现Lily的转变过程及最终成长。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①根据第一段开头“接下来的一周,莉莉开始以可可为榜样。”可知,本段应描写Lily的具体行动和初期变化,如简化生活、帮助他人、参与志愿服务等,并体现她内心的初步感悟,为下一段做铺垫。
②根据第二段开头“几个月后,老师和同学们都称赞了莉莉。”可知,本段应呈现Lily转变后的积极成果,如学业进步、获得认可,并通过他人评价和自我反思点明主题——真正的价值在于内在成长与奉献。
2. 续写线索:攀比→对话→捐衣助读→辅导同学→志愿→不再比较→师赞→领悟“being more”

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was math, which happened to be my weakest subject. I had a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my math teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my math struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realized that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

B. Making friends is more important than studying.
C. High school life is much easier than expected.
D. High school is about both study and friendship-building.

Dogs may have become domesticated (驯化的) because our ancestors had more meat than they could eat. During the ice age, hunter-gatherers may have shared food with wolves, which became their pets.
Genetic evidence suggests that dogs became different from their wolf ancestors between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. The oldest known dog burial is from 14,200 years ago, suggesting dogs were already thought as pets by then. But it isn’t clear whether domestication happened in Europe or Asia — or in multiple locations — or why it happened. Dogs are the only animals domesticated by hunter-gatherers: all the others were domesticated after farming became widespread. One suggestion is that people domesticated dogs to help them with hunting, while another is that wolves ate human wastes and became used to people.
Maria Lahtinen of the Finnish Food Authority in Helsinki and her colleagues suggest that the key may have been an extra of meat. During the ice age humans and wolves would have competed for food, as both are top predators (捕食者). However, wolves can survive on nothing but meat — which contains protein and little else — for months. In contrast, humans cannot. There are limits to how much protein our bodies can handle, so we have to eat other food groups such as fat as well. “We are not fully adapted to eat meat,” says Lahtinen. They found that human hunters would have ended up with more of meat than they could consume (消耗). Wolves could have eaten that, meaning the two species weren’t in competition during the hard winters. Instead, humans could have shared meat with wolves without losing out themselves.
Lahtinen suggests that hunter-gatherers may have taken in wolf pups without parents — perhaps viewing them a bit like pets-and fed them on spare meat. They probably didn’t have any long-term goal in mind, but the domesticated wolves would have later proved to be useful hunting partners — reinforcing the domestication. “They must have been very attractive for hunter-gatherers to keep,” says Lahtinen.
8. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Dogs were domesticated first in Europe.
B. Dogs may have become pets 14,200 years ago.
C. Researchers have found the reason why dogs became pets.
D. Dogs and other animals are domesticated by hunter-gathers.
9. Why did humans share meat with wolves according to Maria Lahtinen?
A. Humans loved wolf pups very much.
B. Humans viewed wolves as their pets.
C. Humans had more meat than they could consume.
D. Humans couldn’t compete with wolves in the ice age.
10. What does the underlined word “reinforcing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Strengthening. B. Causing. C. Breaking. D. Ignoring.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of dogs and hunter-gatherers.
B. The relationship between humans and dogs.
C. Humans domesticated dogs by sharing extra meat.
D. Scientists found the lifestyle of humans in the ice age.
D
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子).
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva (唾液) into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people die from these diseases.
In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people from being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies, like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays, but these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
12. Why does the text mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks?
A. To compare different animals.
B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
13. What can we learn about mosquitoes?
A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D. More than 700 million people die from diseases carried by mosquitoes.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B. Some measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C. Chemical solutions for mosquitoes are effective.
D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Positive.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily was a high school student who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (嫉妒的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened.
One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class whose name was Coco. Coco’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Coco never joined the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her.
Lily couldn’t understand why Coco didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Coco sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Coco looked up with a smile. “I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.”
That night, Lily thought about Coco’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what was truly meaningful.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following week, Lily began to learn from Coco.

Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily.
