Visit this area to enjoy time outside and learn the rich history of its local communities. Before your trip, check the area’s website for information like business hours, pass rules and winter safety tips Foothills Trail (小路) — Wilkeson to Carbonado Total Climb:400 feet The Foothills Trail starts in Puyallup and runs through Buckley, allowing access along the way. The part between the two towns Wilkeson and Carbonado is an old railroad with a wide path through second-growth woodland. Green Lake Trail Total Climb:1,500 feet The Green Lake Trail is a fairly challenging but short hike to a pocket lake in a unique mountain rainforest. The wide trail offers a nice experience as it climbs through tall fir trees, passes a beautiful waterfall, and ends on the shore (岸) of a lovely mountain lake. Chenuis Falls Trail Total Climb:500 feet A long walk (or short mountain bike ride) leads to a waterfall that flows into the rushing Carbon River. Check trip reports for any crossings that may be difficult in winter, but still enjoy most of the hike to see the falls. West Boundary Trail Total Climb:2,800 feet The West Boundary Trail takes you through an old-growth rainforest to a waterfall after 1.3 miles. This is a great place to turn back if the weather is bad or if you don’t want to climb the steep (陡的) path to Alki Crest. 1. What should visitors do first before going to the Carbon River Corridor? A. Book a campsite in advance. B. Learn about the local history. C. Check its website for key information. D. Practice hiking on snow- covered trails. 2. What can visitors expect to see along the Foothills Trail? A. An old-growth rainforest. B. A lake between two towns. C. A path through second-growth woodland. D. A waterfall that feeds into the Carbon River. 3. Which hike requires the most effort in terms of climbing? A. Foothills Trail. B. Green Lake Trail. C. Chenuis Falls Trail. D. West Boundary Trail. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四条在Carbon River Corridor可探索的冬季徒步路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before your trip, check the area’s website for information like business hours, pass rules and winter safety tips.(在旅行前，查看该地区的网站，了解营业时间、通行规则和冬季安全提示等信息)”可知，游客在去Carbon River Corridor之前应该先查看其网站获取关键信息。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Foothills Trail部分中“The part between the two towns Wilkeson and Carbonado is an old railroad with a wide path through second-growth woodland.(Wilkeson和Carbonado这两个城镇之间的部分是一条古老的铁路，有一条宽阔的小路穿过次生林)”可知，游客在Foothills Trail可以期待看到一条穿过次生林的小路。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据各条徒步路线介绍中的“Total Climb”部分，Foothills Trail的总爬升高度是400英尺，Green Lake Trail的总爬升高度是1,500英尺，Chenuis Falls Trail的总爬升高度是500英尺，West Boundary Trail的总爬升高度是2,800英尺。通过比较可知，West Boundary Trail在攀爬方面需要最多的努力。故选D。 B What a day! That morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 4. How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school? A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Frightened. D. Anxious. 5. Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take? A. Maths. B. Literature. C. Chinese. D. Chemistry. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The coach advised Adam to join a volunteer club. B. Adam decided to make the team the next year. C. Adam handed out food to the students in the school. D. The coach helped Adam practice playing football. 7. Which of the following words can describe Adam? A. Shallow. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Dependent. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者亚当进入高中后的经历和感受，包括选课、参加课外活动以及面对挑战的决心等。 4题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. (在高中的第一天，我一点也不觉得尴尬或害怕)”和“I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. (我比那天早上更有信心了)”可知，作者在高中的第一个早晨之后感到更有信心了。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. (我的顾问建议我报名参加高级文学课程，因为我喜欢英语，而且我很擅长)”可知，学校顾问建议作者选高级文学这门课程。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中“I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. (我试图加入学校足球队，但教练告诉我我踢得不够好。显然，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会找到一种方法来提高自己，这样我明年就可以进入球队了)”可知，虽然作者加入足球队失败了，但他下定决心明年加入球队。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由全文和最后一段中“Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. (不过，我很高兴能来这里。努力学习并不总是很有趣，但我会为大学或未来的任何事情做好准备)”可知，第一天适应良好，未被足球队录取后主动寻找其他活动（志愿者俱乐部），对学业挑战保持信心，可得出Adam对于高中生活持积极态度。故选C项。 C You’re checking out at your favorite store or coffee shop when the worker faces their screen toward you, silently suggesting a tip — even though you didn’t receive any notable service. They smile and say, “It’ll just ask you a question,” as the screen turns toward you. Suddenly, you’re wondering how much to tip, while feeling an uncomfortable mix of feelings. As each second passes, the worker turns their eyes aside, waiting. Tipping culture or “tipflation” is a new term, defined as businesses and their workers asking for an increasing number of tips for their services. Research from the Pew Research Center in 2023 shows that over 70% of U.S. adult consumers (消费者) have noticed an increase in tipping expectations since 2020. This change is happening across different service settings, influenced by factors like technological changes in tipping. Most service businesses use platforms (平台) such as Square, which enable customers to tip digitally — commonly 15%, 20%, or 25% of the total bill. Customers also have the choice to add a custom tip or choose not to tip at all. “I would say some people will click the 20% tip — that’s pretty standard,” said Amber Jansson, who used to work at Guru Donuts. A 2024 Popmenu study shows that around 60% of consumers say they are tired of being asked to tip for different services and around 61% feel pressured to tip. “The request for tipping is getting a little out of control. It’s starting to appear in places where I don’t think it should be asked,” Boise State junior Calvin Arnold said. “If it’s going to go in that direction, we should just add something like a service charge.” There’s a difference between tipping to thank someone for quality service and being asked to tip for buying a bottled drink or serving yourself. When tipping becomes a common request, no matter how the service is provided, it starts to feel less like thankfulness and more like a must. Besides, it’s important to consider how responsible tipping practices affect different service industry workers — and who truly benefits from them. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of “tipflation”? A. By explaining it in simple words. B. By describing a real-life situation. C. By raising an open-ended question. D. By comparing it with another term. 9. What does the author want to show by mentioning Square? A. The past standards of tipping. B. The low tipping expectations. C. The increase in tipping amounts. D. The digital influence on tipping. 10. What did Arnold suggest for tipping? A. It could be replaced by a service charge. B. It could be based on service quality. C. It could be canceled in some industries. D. It could be decided by consumers. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why more money is being spent B. What consumers must decide C. When thanks come with a price D. How service workers earn more 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍“小费通胀”（tipflation）这一现象，描述了其表现、原因、影响以及人们的看法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You’re checking out at your favorite store or coffee shop when the worker faces their screen toward you, silently suggesting a tip — even though you didn’t receive any notable service. They smile and say, “It’ll just ask you a question,” as the screen turns toward you. Suddenly, you’re wondering how much to tip, while feeling an uncomfortable mix of feelings. (当你在你最喜欢的商店或咖啡店结账时，工作人员将屏幕转向你，默默地暗示你给小费——尽管你没有得到任何特别的服务。他们微笑着说：“它只是问你一个问题。”当屏幕转向你时。突然间，你在想该给多少小费，同时感到一种不舒服的复杂情绪。)”可知，作者通过描述在商店或咖啡店结账时被暗示给小费这一真实生活场景来引入“小费通胀”这一话题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Most service businesses use platforms (平台) such as Square, which enable customers to tip digitally — commonly 15%, 20%, or 25% of the total bill. Customers also have the choice to add a custom tip or choose not to tip at all. “I would say some people will click the 20% tip — that’s pretty standard,” said Amber Jansson, who used to work at Guru Donuts. (大多数服务企业使用Square等平台，使客户能够以数字方式给小费——通常是总账单的15%、20%或25%。客户也可以选择添加自定义小费或根本不给小费。曾在Guru Donuts工作的Amber Jansson说：“我想说有些人会点击20%的小费——这是相当标准的。”)”可知，作者提到Square是为了说明数字化对给小费方式的影响，即数字化使得给小费更加普遍和标准化。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““The request for tipping is getting a little out of control. It’s starting to appear in places where I don’t think it should be asked,” Boise State junior Calvin Arnold said. “If it’s going to go in that direction, we should just add something like a service charge.” (博伊西州立大学大三学生Calvin Arnold说：“要求给小费有点失控了。它开始出现在我认为不应该要求的地方。如果它要朝那个方向发展，我们应该增加一些服务费之类的费用。”)”可知，Arnold建议用服务费来取代小费。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“You’re checking out at your favorite store or coffee shop when the worker faces their screen toward you, silently suggesting a tip — even though you didn’t receive any notable service. (当你在你最喜欢的商店或咖啡店结账时，工作人员将屏幕转向你，默默地暗示你给小费——尽管你没有得到任何特别的服务。)”以及最后一段“There’s a difference between tipping to thank someone for quality service and being asked to tip for buying a bottled drink or serving yourself. When tipping becomes a common request, no matter how the service is provided, it starts to feel less like thankfulness and more like a must. Besides, it’s important to consider how responsible tipping practices affect different service industry workers — and who truly benefits from them. (给小费是为了感谢别人提供的优质服务，而要求为购买瓶装饮料或自助服务而给小费则是另一回事。当给小费成为一种普遍要求时，无论服务如何提供，它开始感觉不那么像感谢，而更像是一种必须。此外，重要的是要考虑负责任的给小费做法如何影响不同的服务业工人——以及谁真正从中受益。)”可知，文章主要讨论了小费通胀现象，即现在很多地方即使没有提供特别的服务也会要求顾客给小费，使得感谢变得有了价格，故C项“当感谢带有价格时”最符合文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选C项。 D A person here on Earth shelled out a lot of green for a piece of the red planet on Wednesday whenSotheby’s put a Martian meteorite (火星陨石) up for auction (拍卖). NWA 16788, the largest piece of Mars on Earth, was expected to sell for between $2 million and $4 million during the auction in New York City, according to Sotheby’s (苏富比拍卖行). The final price was $5,296,000, according to the auction house. Sotheby’s has not publicly shared the name of the buyer. Pieces of Mars found on Earth are very uncommon. According to the auction house, just 400 of the more than 77, 000 officially recognized meteorites found on Earth-or about 0.6%-are from Mars.The meteorite represents (构成) about 6.5% of all Martian material known on Earth today. Meteorites come from meteors. Most meteors burn up as they fall toward Earth, but the ones that survive the trip through Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) are considered meteorites. The piece of Martian rock that was auctioned off by Sotheby’s was likely removed from the planet by an asteroid (小行星) strike. NWA 16788 traveled 140 million miles through space before it crashed in the Sahara Desert,where it was found in Niger’s distant Agadez, area in 2023, according to Sotheby's. “The chances of this getting from there to here are very small,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s vice chairman of science & natural history, said in an auction house video. The meteorite weighs just over 54 pounds, which makes it the largest meteorite from Mars, but not the largest meteorite ever found. According to NASA, a meteorite originally weighing over 100 tons once fell in Namibia. It’s believed that NWA 16788 is a relative newcomer here on Earth, having fallen from outer space rather recently. “This isn’t just an amazing find, but a large collection of data that can help us unlock the secrets of our neighbor, the red planet,” Hatton said. Sotheby’s often auctions meteorites. “Meteorites from the Moon and Mars are some of the least common things on our planet-as every bit of both would fit in the back of a large SUV,” the auction house wrote in a 2022 collector’s guide. 12. What do the underlined words “shelled out a lot of green” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Received plenty of praise. B. Carried a heavy green box. C. Used many green materials. D. Paid a huge amount of dollars. 13. What is special about NWA 16788? A. It comes in an unusual shape. B. It weighs more than 100 tons. C. It is the largest Martian meteorite ever found on Earth. D. It is the most expensive meteorite auctioned by Sotheby's. 14. What do Hatton’s words in paragraph 5 mean? A. It is difficult for a Martian rock to reach Earth safely. B. Sotheby’s hardly auctions large Martian meteorites. C. The Sahara Desert is difficult to search for meteorites. D. Asteroid strikes seldom remove rocks from Mars. 15. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. NWA 16788 might be shown in public. B. NWA 16788 may help us learn more about Mars. C. Moon and Mars meteorites take up much space. D. Sotheby’s is famous for selling meteorites. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了苏富比拍卖行拍卖一块火星陨石NWA 16788的相关情况。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A person here on Earth shelled out a lot of green for a piece of the red planet on Wednesday when Sotheby’s put a Martian meteorite up for auction.(周三，当苏富比拍卖行拍卖一块火星陨石时，地球上的一个人为这块红色星球的碎片______)”以及第二段“The final price was $5,296,000, according to the auction house.(据拍卖行称，最终价格为529.6万美元)”可知，这个人花费了巨额资金来购买这块火星陨石，“shelled out a lot of green”意思是“支付了一大笔美元”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The meteorite represents about 6.5% of all Martian material known on Earth today.(这块陨石占目前地球上已知所有火星物质的约6.5%)”以及第六段“The meteorite weighs just over 54 pounds, which makes it the largest meteorite from Mars, but not the largest meteorite ever found.(这块陨石重略超过54磅，是迄今为止发现的来自火星的最大陨石，但不是有史以来发现的最大陨石)”可知，NWA 16788的特别之处在于它是迄今为止在地球上发现的最大的火星陨石。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““The chances of this getting from there to here are very small,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s vice chairman of science & natural history, said in an auction house video.(苏富比科学与自然历史副总裁卡桑德拉·哈顿在拍卖行的一段视频中说：“它从那里到达这里的几率非常小。”)”可知，哈顿的话意味着一块火星岩石要安全到达地球是很困难的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s believed that NWA 16788 is a relative newcomer here on Earth, having fallen from outer space rather recently. “This isn't just an amazing find, but a large collection of data that can help us unlock the secrets of our neighbor, the red planet,” Hatton said.(据信，NWA 16788是地球上相对较新的陨石，它是最近从外太空坠落的。哈顿说：“这不仅仅是一个惊人的发现，而且是一组大量的数据，可以帮助我们解开我们邻居——红色星球的秘密。”)”可知，NWA 16788可能会帮助我们更多地了解火星。故选B。 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。 As a speaker of 10 languages, I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. ____16____ Language learning is hard. It will be only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. ____17____ What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you will feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking. ____18____ No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success. You have to live where the language is spoken. Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learnt to speak Mandarin fluently while living in San Francisco. ____19____ You can download it to your cellphone and listen. Where you live is not a problem. I would love to learn but I don’t have the time. How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk?____20____ Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time. I believe if you can avoid these traps, you will surely become masters of language learning. A. The following are some tips for you to follow. B. You have to have a gift for learning languages. C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings. E. Languages can only be learnt instead of being taught. F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your cellphone? G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了语言学习的一些误区。 【16题详解】 根据设空处前两句“Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them.(实际上，学习语言并不是什么大的挑战。我们只需要改变学习它们的方式)”可知，学习语言并不是艰巨的挑战，我们只需改变自己学习语言的方式。再根据下文各段小标题可知，接下来要介绍的是对语言学习的一些误解。D项“我们需要避免一些常见的误解”承接上文并引出下文内容。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple.(你最需要做的是花些时间听和读。相信我，就是这么简单)”可知，作者认为学习语言实际上并不难，只需要花时间听和读。C项“学习一门语言需要花些时间，但是不难”符合语境，且C项中的takes time与下文中的spend some time呼应。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据设空处位置可知，设空处为本部分小标题。再根据下文中的“Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages.(任何想学习的人都能成功。在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言。他们不可能都有语言天赋)”可知，本段解释学习语言和天赋的关系，即语言学习与天赋无关。B项“你必须在学习语言方面很有天赋”是对语言学习的一种误解，能够概括本部分主要内容。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据下文中的“You can download it to your cellphone and listen.(你可以下载到你的手机上听)”可知，这里提到代词it，所以设空处要说明it是指什么，G项“有了因特网，任何人都可以使用电脑获得语言内容”提到了it的指代对象“语言内容”，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文中的“How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk?(你花在排队、做家务和散步上的时间呢？)”可知，作者是在指出哪些时间是可以用来学习语言的。F项“为什么不利用那段时间用你的手机来听一种语言呢？”和上文意思一致。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 The professor was searching for student volunteers in the lecture room for a special Olympic event.

It also teaches you about the value of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted. Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money. After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman. 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。标准答题卡每段9.5行 Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Under the burning sun, my mom was mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流涞背). Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew it’s so hard for mom to earn money. Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a parasol/portable electric fan/bottle of sunscreen for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the parasol/electric fan/bottle of sunscreen. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者的第一份工作经历及其意义。作者16岁时为了购买喜欢的音乐专辑，在邻居哈德森太太家找到一份打理花园的兼职工作，通过除草、修剪草坪等辛苦劳动赚取了10美元。在去超市买专辑的路上，作者偶然看到母亲工作的场景，此前作者只知道她是售货员，却从未见过她工作的样子。文章通过这次经历，体现了第一份工作不仅能让人获得有用的经验、体会金钱的价值，还可能带来对生活和家人的新认知。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“在烈日炎炎之下，我妈妈正在给路人分发传单，全身汗流浃背。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈发传单的经过，路人的反应以及作者的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，我继续前往超市，突然，一个好主意涌上心头。”可知，第二段可描写作者用自己赚的钱给妈妈买了遮阳物品以及作者对金钱价值的理解。 2. 续写线索：路人的反应——作者感到内疚——送给妈妈这样物品——妈妈欣然接受——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/reject ②忽视：ignore/neglect ③买：buy/purchase ④返回：return to/go back to 情绪类 ①内疚的：guilty/ compunctious ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away.（运用了who引导限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew it’s so hard for mom to earn money.（运用了独立主格结构作状语以及省略了that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长春八中2025-2026学年度上学期期末考试 高一年级（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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Chenuis Falls Trail Total Climb:500 feet A long walk (or short mountain bike ride) leads to a waterfall that flows into the rushing Carbon River. Check trip reports for any crossings that may be difficult in winter, but still enjoy most of the hike to see the falls. West Boundary Trail Total Climb:2,800 feet The West Boundary Trail takes you through an old-growth rainforest to a waterfall after 1.3 miles.

B What a day! That morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 4. How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school? A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Frightened. D. Anxious. 5. Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take? A. Maths. B. Literature. C. Chinese. D. Chemistry. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The coach advised Adam to join a volunteer club. B. Adam decided to make the team the next year. C. Adam handed out food to the students in the school. D. The coach helped Adam practice playing football. 7. Which of the following words can describe Adam? A. Shallow. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Dependent. C You’re checking out at your favorite store or coffee shop when the worker faces their screen toward you, silently suggesting a tip — even though you didn’t receive any notable service. They smile and say, “It’ll just ask you a question,” as the screen turns toward you. Suddenly, you’re wondering how much to tip, while feeling an uncomfortable mix of feelings. As each second passes, the worker turns their eyes aside, waiting. Tipping culture or “tipflation” is a new term, defined as businesses and their workers asking for an increasing number of tips for their services. Research from the Pew Research Center in 2023 shows that over 70% of U.S. adult consumers (消费者) have noticed an increase in tipping expectations since 2020. This change is happening across different service settings, influenced by factors like technological changes in tipping. Most service businesses use platforms (平台) such as Square which enable customers to tip digitally — commonly 15%, 20%, or 25% of the total bill. Customers also have the choice to add a custom tip or choose not to tip at all. “I would say some people will click the 20% tip — that’s pretty standard,” said Amber Jansson, who used to work at Guru Donuts. A 2024 Popmenu study shows that around 60% of consumers say they are tired of being asked to tip for different services and around 61% feel pressured to tip. “The request for tipping is getting a little out of control. It’s starting to appear in places where I don’t think it should be asked,” Boise State junior Calvin Arnold said. “If it’s going to go in that direction, we should just add something like a service charge.” There’s a difference between tipping to thank someone for quality service and being asked to tip for buying a bottled drink or serving yourself. When tipping becomes a common request, no matter how the service is provided, it starts to feel less like thankfulness and more like a must. Besides, it’s important to consider how responsible tipping practices affect different service industry workers — and who truly benefits from them. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of “tipflation”? A. By explaining it in simple words. B. By describing a real-life situation. C. By raising an open-ended question. D. By comparing it with another term. 9. What does the author want to show by mentioning Square? A. The past standards of tipping. B. The low tipping expectations. C. The increase in tipping amounts. D. The digital influence on tipping. 10. What did Arnold suggest for tipping? A. It could be replaced by a service charge. B. It could be based on service quality. C. It could be canceled in some industries. D. It could be decided by consumers. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why more money is being spent B. What consumers must decide C. When thanks come with a price D. How service workers earn more D A person here on Earth shelled out a lot of green for a piece of the red planet on Wednesday whenSotheby’s put a Martian meteorite (火星陨石) up for auction (拍卖). NWA 16788 the largest piece of Mars on Earth, was expected to sell for between $2 million and $4 million during the auction in New York City, according to Sotheby’s (苏富比拍卖行). The final price was $5,296,000, according to the auction house. Sotheby’s has not publicly shared the name of the buyer. Pieces of Mars found on Earth are very uncommon. According to the auction house, just 400 of the more than 77, 000 officially recognized meteorites found on Earth-or about 0.6%-are from Mars.The meteorite represents (构成) about 6.5% of all Martian material known on Earth today. Meteorites come from meteors. Most meteors burn up as they fall toward Earth, but the ones that survive the trip through Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) are considered meteorites. The piece of Martian rock that was auctioned off by Sotheby’s was likely removed from the planet by an asteroid (小行星) strike. NWA 16788 traveled 140 million miles through space before it crashed in the Sahara Desert,where it was found in Niger’s distant Agadez, area in 2023, according to Sotheby's. “The chances of this getting from there to here are very small,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s vice chairman of science & natural history, said in an auction house video. The meteorite weighs just over 54 pounds, which makes it the largest meteorite from Mars, but not the largest meteorite ever found. According to NASA, a meteorite originally weighing over 100 tons once fell in Namibia. It’s believed that NWA 16788 is a relative newcomer here on Earth, having fallen from outer space rather recently. “This isn’t just an amazing find, but a large collection of data that can help us unlock the secrets of our neighbor, the red planet,” Hatton said. Sotheby’s often auctions meteorites. “Meteorites from the Moon and Mars are some of the least common things on our planet-as every bit of both would fit in the back of a large SUV,” the auction house wrote in a 2022 collector’s guide. 12. What do the underlined words “shelled out a lot of green” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Received plenty of praise. B. Carried a heavy green box. C. Used many green materials. D.

Sotheby’s hardly auctions large Martian meteorites. C. The Sahara Desert is difficult to search for meteorites. D. Asteroid strikes seldom remove rocks from Mars. 15. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. NWA 16788 might be shown in public. B. NWA 16788 may help us learn more about Mars. C. Moon and Mars meteorites take up much space. D. Sotheby’s is famous for selling meteorites. 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。 As a speaker of 10 languages, I know the benefits of speaking more than one language.

It also teaches you about the value of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted. Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money. After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman. 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。标准答题卡每段9.5行 Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
