This six-page story, Twain’s first published success, not only established him as an outstanding American humorist but also put the rural town of just 2,300 residents on the map. Beyond becoming an American classic, the tale inspired a real-life jumping frog contest that has evolved into a beloved tradition and nearly a legend itself. The event, known as the Jumping Frog Jubilee, takes place every third weekend in May at the Calaveras County Fair. Each spring, people from across the globe flock to Angels Camp — some to enter their frogs in the contest, others to watch the fun. Contestants compete for prizes ranging from $10 to $1,500, and “jockeying” (encouraging one’s frog to jump as far as possible) brings joy to both participants and audience. The story behind the contest began in 1860, when Twain traveled from San Francisco to the Calaveras Country to visit a friend. There, he heard a funny anecdote (轶事) he later retold in his tale: a boastful man named Jim Smiley bet $40 that his frog, Daniel Webster, could outjump any frog in Calaveras County. A quiet stranger tricked Smiley by making Daniel Webster swallow something heavy, leaving the frog unable to jump — and Smiley out of his money. As Twain’s story grew in popularity, so did Angels Camp. In 1928, townsfolk decided to turn jumping frogs into a local attraction, launching the annual contest. Since then, the event has grown dramatically, drawing entries from countries like Malaysia, China, Britain, France, Germany, and across North America. All participants hope their frogs will claim the title of World Record Holder. The current champion is Rosie the Ribiter, a famous frog from Santa Clara, California, who set an unbeaten record in 1986 by jumping 21 feet, 5 3/4 inches in three jumps. 4. What made Angels Camp world-famous? A. Its annual county fair. B. Its long history. C. A record-breaking jumping frog. D. Mark Twain’s famous story. 5. When did Mark Twain hear the original story that inspired his famous tale? A. When he was on a trip in Calaveras County. B. When Rosie the Ribiter set the world record. C. When the first Jumping Frog Jubilee was held. D. When he visited Angels Camp for the frog contest. 6. How did the stranger defeat Jim Smiley in the bet? A. He trained a faster frog secretly. B. He made Daniel Webster eat something. C. He cheated by changing the contest rules. D. He distracted Smiley during the competition. 7. What is the tone of the passage? A. Argumentative. B. Reflective. C. Informative. D. Persuasive 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了安琪儿营地（Angels Camp）因马克·吐温的著名故事《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》而闻名于世，并介绍了该故事背后的真实跳蛙比赛的起源、发展以及现状。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Angels Camp, a historic small town in Calaveras County, gained worldwide fame thanks to Mark Twain and his humorous ‘tall tale’ The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.(安琪儿营地是卡拉维拉斯县一个历史悠久的小镇，它因马克·吐温和他的幽默故事《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》而闻名于世。)”可知，安琪儿营地之所以闻名于世，是因为马克·吐温的著名故事。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The story behind the contest began in 1860, when Twain traveled from San Francisco to the Calaveras Country to visit a friend. There, he heard a funny anecdote (轶事) he later retold in his tale(比赛背后的故事始于1860年，当时吐温从旧金山前往卡拉维拉斯县拜访一位朋友。在那里，他听到了一个有趣的轶事，后来他在他的故事中重新讲述了这个轶事)”可知，马克·吐温是在卡拉维拉斯县旅行时听到启发他撰写著名故事的原始故事的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A quiet stranger tricked Smiley by making Daniel Webster swallow something heavy, leaving the frog unable to jump — and Smiley out of his money.(一个安静的陌生人骗了斯迈利，他让Daniel Webster吞下了一些重的东西，使青蛙无法跳跃，斯迈利也输掉了钱。)”可知，陌生人让Daniel Webster吃了东西，从而在打赌中击败了吉姆·斯迈利。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了安琪儿营地因马克·吐温的著名故事而闻名于世，并介绍了该故事背后的真实跳蛙比赛的起源、发展以及现状，由此可知，文章是教育性的，充满信息的。故选C。 C Electric vehicles (EVs) have become common in developed nations, led by pioneers like Tesla. However, adoption in less developed countries is slower. South Africa is the only African nation beginning the transition, with EVs accounting for under 1% of sales. Despite growing market share worldwide, this does not mean the world is on track to phase out petrol vehicles in under thirty years, nor that EVs are the guaranteed sustainable solution for the future. Massive EV development rests on two conditions. First, manufacturing expansion relies on an unstable supply chain for vital materials like lithium (锂), rare earths, and silicon chips, which have faced shortages since 2020. Second, few countries have electricity grids capable of handling the increasing demand from widespread EV adoption, causing the EV revolution to face insoluble problems outside the most developed nations. Ultimately, a successful transition depends on breakthroughs in three areas: battery weight, power capacity, and charging or exchanging speed. EVs are not a new idea. At the end of the 19th century, America had as many electric as gas cars. New York’s largest taxi company used EVs and established battery exchange stations, a process as quick as refueling. Today, battery exchange could solve slow recharging, but it’s not practical with current large, heavy batteries. While lithium batteries are twice as efficient as five years ago, a giant leap is needed to store more energy in smaller, lighter units. Global teams are working on this, but a revolutionary design remains unattainable. For clean electricity supply, progress is underway. Ideally, recharging points, especially in hot or rural areas, will be autonomous, generating electricity from solar, wind, or water and storing it mechanically or in batteries. This technology exists, with companies already employing solar-powered stations. Believers in technology’s problem-solving ability may be realistic or over-optimistic. Environmental issues and lacks of material could disrupt progress. Whether all nations, especially poorer ones, can complete this revolution remains uncertain. For now, progress continues, but the EV revolution in terms of volume has only just begun. 8. What does the underlined words “phase out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refuel. B. Resolve. C. Recharge. D. Replace. 9. Which of the following factor restricts the large-scale development of EVs? A. Shortages of crucial materials. B. The high demand for building gas stations. C. The lack of interest from car manufacturers. D The absence of battery exchange technology. 10. What is an ideal feature of recharging points in the high-temperature countryside? A. They can only store energy in batteries. B. They require constant human supervision. C. They rely entirely on renewable solar energy. D. They produce power from sustainable resources. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the challenges in the global shift to electric vehicles. B. To advertise the latest battery technology from developed countries. C. To predict the exact year when petrol cars will be phased out globally. D. To promote the benefits of electric vehicles in less developed countries. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电动汽车在全球推广过程中面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Despite growing market share worldwide(尽管电动汽车在全球市场的份额不断上升)”和下文“nor that EVs are the guaranteed sustainable solution for the future(也不意味着电动汽车必然是未来可持续发展的解决方案。)”可知，这并不意味着全球将在30年内逐步淘汰燃油汽车，由此可知，phase out意为“逐步淘汰”。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Massive EV development rests on two conditions. First, manufacturing expansion relies on an unstable supply chain for vital materials like lithium (锂), rare earths, and silicon chips, which have faced shortages since 2020.(电动汽车的大规模发展取决于两个条件。首先，制造业的扩张依赖于锂、稀土和硅芯片等关键材料的不稳定供应链，这些材料自2020年以来一直面临短缺。)”可知，关键材料的短缺限制了电动汽车的大规模发展。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For clean electricity supply, progress is underway. Ideally, recharging points, especially in hot or rural areas, will be autonomous, generating electricity from solar, wind, or water and storing it mechanically or in batteries.(对于清洁电力供应，正在取得进展。理想情况下，充电点，特别是在炎热或农村地区，将是自主的，利用太阳能、风能或水能发电，并以机械方式或在电池中储存电能。)”可知，高温农村地区充电站的理想特点是它们利用可持续资源发电。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了电动汽车在全球推广过程中面临的挑战，包括关键材料的短缺、电网容量不足、电池重量和充电速度等问题，所以这篇文章的主要目的是解释全球向电动汽车转型面临的挑战。故选A。 D Adults are often unwilling to ask for aid. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason. They hate hearing irresponsible comments. Psychologists assumed that children did not start to care about their reputation until around age nine. This research has revealed that youngsters as young as age five start to care about the way others think about them. It also suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. Our researchers crafted simple stories and then asked children questions to allow them to show their thinking. In one study, they asked 576 children aged four to nine to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the kids genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. Both kids did poorly on a test. Children were asked which of these kids would be more likely to ask the teacher for help in front of their class. The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. When assistance could be sought privately, they thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. If children are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. Teachers could make themselves available to students for one-on-one conversations while their classmates tackle group work. They should also help students look upon it as positive behavior. Seeking help could even be framed as socially desirable. Parents could point out how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together. Such response sends a strong signal that other people value a willingness to ask for aid. 12. What can we infer about four-year-olds from the study? A. They care more about being smart than seeming smart. B. They prefer to seek help privately rather than in public. C. They don’t link asking for help with being incompetent. D. They are more willing to ask teachers for help than classmates. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why the study was designed. B. How the study was carried out. C. Who were involved in the study. D. What the study told us about kids. 14. What is suggested for teachers as a possible solution? A. Paying attention to group work. B. Building a class of positive behavior. C. Reminding students of learning difficulties. D. Having personal interactions with students. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Supportive Adults: The Roles of Teachers and Parents B. The Age of Insecurity: Why Children Stop Asking Questions C. Hidden Barriers to Learning: How Reputation Fears Limit Help D. A Study of Child Psychology: From Being Smart to Seeming Smart 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现，儿童早在5至7 岁就开始在意他人看法，担心求助显得无能，从而不愿在课堂上提问。教师和家长应创造私下求助机会，并引导孩子将求助视为积极行为。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help.( 四岁的孩子选择这两个孩子中任何一个寻求帮助的可能性是一样的)”以及第二段最后一句提到的“It also suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others.( 它还表明，孩子在七岁左右就开始将寻求帮助与在他人面前显得无能联系在一起)”可知，从这项研究中，我们可以推断出四岁的孩子他们不会把寻求帮助和无能联系起来。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Our researchers crafted simple stories and then asked children questions to allow them to show their thinking. In one study, they asked 576 children aged four to nine to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the kids genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. Both kids did poorly on a test. Children were asked which of these kids would be more likely to ask the teacher for help in front of their class.( 我们的研究人员编写了一些简单的故事，然后向孩子们提出问题，让他们展示自己的思考过程。在一项研究中，他们让 576 名四岁到九岁的孩子预测故事中两个孩子的行为。其中一个孩子真心想要聪明，而另一个孩子只是想在别人面前显得聪明。两个孩子在测试中表现都很差。研究人员问孩子们，在这两个孩子中，哪一个更有可能在全班同学面前向老师求助)”可知，第三段主要讲了研究是如何开展的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Teachers could make themselves available to students for one-on-one conversations while their classmates tackle group work.( 教师可以在学生处理小组作业时，为学生提供一对一交谈的机会)”可推知，对于教师而言，与学生进行个人交流被建议作为可能的解决办法。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段和第二段提出了核心观点：人们（包括儿童）因为害怕暴露无能、在意名声（reputation fears）而不愿意寻求帮助。随后通过研究具体展示了儿童从几岁开始有这种心理，最后提出了解决方案。选项 C“Hidden Barriers to Learning: How Reputation Fears Limit Help(学习的隐形障碍：名声恐惧如何限制了求助)”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选C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。 Have you had a meltdown lately? ____16____ It can happen to anyone at any time. It’s a popular term used to describe a situation where we are overcome emotionally or hit a breaking point. How do you feel after you’ve had a meltdown? Do you feel embarrassed about your behavior? Are you anxious about possible consequences of your outburst? These feelings are common, but they don’t have to define your experience. ____17____ It may just be an indicator of a challenging time for you. While most people would rather forget a meltdown as quickly as possible, it can be a learning experience. If you feel embarrassed about revealing your emotions in public, you might examine how you feel about your feelings. Why isn’t it okay for you to be angry, to be sad, or to need something from someone else? Shaming yourself about your emotion is not helpful. ____18____ If your meltdown involved raising your voice at other people or behavior like throwing an object in the presence of others, apologize and come up with a plan to manage your emotions differently the next time you’re upset or stressed. ____19____ Abusive language or actions can leave lasting harm, even if you didn’t mean it. If you find this type of behavior is common for you and you’re having difficulty managing it on your own, consider reaching a psychologist. ____20____ Your experience serves as a basis for reflection. Find some helpful ways to deal with meltdowns. After all, growth often comes from facing and learning from our toughest moments. A. So, be kind to yourself. B. Learn from every meltdown. C. There are many ways to prevent emotional meltdowns. D. Never use an emotion as an excuse for hurting others. E. An emotional meltdown isn’t exactly a medical disease. F. Shaming yourself for feeling overwhelmed only makes things worse. G. An occasional meltdown doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“情绪崩溃”这一常见现象，旨在消除人们对它的羞耻感，并引导读者将其视为学习和成长的机会，提出了自我接纳、真诚道歉、不伤害他人以及从中学习等应对策略。 【16题详解】 上文“Have you had a meltdown lately? (你最近有过情绪崩溃吗？)”以提问方式引入话题。下文“It can happen to anyone at any time. It’s a popular term used to describe a situation where we are overcome emotionally or hit a breaking point.(这种事随时都可能发生在任何人身上。这是一个流行的术语，用来描述我们在情感上被克服或达到崩溃点的情况)”解释了“情绪崩溃”的普遍性和定义。E选项“An emotional meltdown isn’t exactly a medical disease. (情绪崩溃不完全是一种疾病)”位于两者之间，承接问题，首先澄清其性质——它并非医学意义上的疾病，从而帮助读者以更平和、非病态化的视角看待这一现象，为下文的普遍性解释做了铺垫。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“These feelings are common, but they don’t have to define your experience. (这些感觉很常见，但它们不必定义你的经历)”指出崩溃后的羞耻、焦虑等情绪虽然常见，但不应成为全部。G选项“An occasional meltdown doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. (偶尔的情绪崩溃并不意味着你有什么问题)”顺承上文，进一步安慰读者，减轻其自我否定，强调偶尔崩溃是正常的，不代表个人有问题。这与上文的“don’t have to define your experience”相呼应。下文“It may just be an indicator of a challenging time for you. (它可能只是表明你正处于一个充满挑战的时期)”则是对G选项的解释，说明崩溃可能只是应对困难时期的信号。故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“Shaming yourself about your emotion is not helpful. (为自己的情绪感到羞耻是没有帮助的)”直接否定了自我羞辱的做法。A选项“So, be kind to yourself. (所以，善待自己)”是上文观点的自然结论和建议。在指出自我羞辱无益后，紧接着提出积极的应对方式——自我关怀，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“If your meltdown involved raising your voice at other people or behavior like throwing an object in the presence of others, apologize and come up with a plan to manage your emotions differently the next time you’re upset or stressed. (如果你的崩溃涉及对他人提高嗓门或在他人面前摔东西等行为，请道歉，并制定计划，以便下次心烦或压力大时以不同的方式管理情绪)”建议对伤害他人的行为进行道歉和制定改进计划。D选项“Never use an emotion as an excuse for hurting others. (永远不要用情绪作为伤害他人的借口)”承接上文，提出了一个重要的原则性警告：即使情绪崩溃，也不能成为伤害他人的理由。这补充并强化了上文的建议，强调了行为的底线。下文“Abusive language or actions can leave lasting harm... (辱骂性语言或行为会造成持久的伤害……)”则是对D选项的进一步阐述，说明伤害性行为的后果。故选D项。 【20题详解】 下文“Your experience serves as a basis for reflection. Find some helpful ways to deal with meltdowns. After all, growth often comes from facing and learning from our toughest moments. (你的经历可以作为反思的基础。找到一些处理情绪崩溃的有用方法。毕竟，成长往往来自于面对并从最艰难的时刻中学习)”阐述了将崩溃经历转化为反思基础、寻找应对方法并促进成长的观点。B选项“Learn from every meltdown. (从每一次情绪崩溃中学习)”位于段首，作为总起句和本段的小标题，精准地概括了下文的核心思想——将崩溃视为学习的机会。上下文形成“观点-阐述”的紧密关系。故选B项。 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。 Five years ago, a friend asked me to look after his cat while he went on holiday.

My parents labored with all their might, yet money was always tight. Despite the challenges we faced, they always made sure I understood how vital kindness and generosity were — even when we had little to give. One day, our school announced a volunteer activity to help an elderly woman in the nearby community. She lived alone and needed assistance with daily tasks. The school encouraged students to donate money to support her. When I got home that evening, I told my mom about the initiative. She listened attentively. “Why don’t we make her a basket of homemade cookies?” my mom suggested, her voice full of enthusiasm. “I’m sure she’d love something fresh and homemade.” I hesitated. I worried that my classmates would think less of me for not contributing cash. “It’s the thought that counts,” Mom said gently, placing a hand on my shoulder. The next morning, I arrived at school with a basket of cookies my mom and I had made together the night before. The smell of freshly baked goods filled the air, and I could see the effort and love that had gone into each piece. When it was time to collect donations, my classmates, one by one, pulled out their wallets and placed crisp bills into the collection box. I stepped forward with my basket. The room fell silent. “Why did you bring food?” one of my classmates asked, her voice filled with disdain (鄙视). “We’re supposed to donate money.” “Maybe her family is too poor to donate anything else,” Another student whispered loudly, drawing a few more giggles (笑) from the others. I felt my cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to explain, but the words stuck in my throat. Then I remembered my mom’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The elderly woman welcomed us with a warm smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Then I remembered my mom’s words. Taking a deep breath, I lifted the cloth covering the basket, releasing the warm, sweet scent of homemade cookies into the air. “My mom and I baked these last night,” I said firmly, “We wanted to give something made with care, not just money.” The classroom grew quiet again, but this time the silence felt different — softer, thoughtful. A boy stepped forward and backed me up. “That’s really thoughtful,” he said sincerely. I felt a sense of relief wash over me. After school, we headed for the elderly woman’s house. The elderly woman welcomed us with a warm smile. She was so touched by the donations that tears welled up in her eyes especially when seeing the basket of colorful cookies. “They taste like kindness,” she exclaimed after biting into a cookie, her voice trembling with gratitude. Watching her joy, my classmates’ earlier disdain faded. One by one, they offered sincere apologies to me. Before leaving, the woman held my hand. “Child,” she said softly, “the sweetest gifts carry love, not price tags.” That evening, I hugged my mom tightly, understanding true kindness blooms not in wallets, but in willing hands and generous hearts. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者成长于经济拮据的家庭，但父母始终教导其善良慷慨。学校组织为独居老人募捐时，母亲提议制作手工饼干代替捐款，尽管作者因担心同学看法而犹豫，最终仍带着饼干到校，却遭同学嘲笑，此时作者想起母亲的话。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后我想起了妈妈的话。”可知，第一段可描写作者拿出自制饼干并解释这样做的原因，得到了一位同学的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“老妇人用温暖的微笑迎接我们。”可知，第二段可描写老妇人看到饼干尤为感动，同学们的反应以及作者的反馈。 2.续写线索：拿出自制饼干——解释原因——得到支持——老妇人感动——同学态度转变——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①前往：head for/make one’s way to ②颤抖：tremble/shiver ③拥抱：hug/embrace ④理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①感动的：touched/moved ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]Watching her joy, my classmates’ earlier disdain faded.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]She was so touched by the donations that tears welled up in her eyes especially when seeing the basket of colorful cookies.（运用了so…that…引导结果状语从句，when引导的时间状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年度第一学期期末考试 高二英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Angels Camp, a historic small town in Calaveras County, gained worldwide fame thanks to Mark Twain and his humorous “tall tale” The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. This six-page story, Twain’s first published success, not only established him as an outstanding American humorist but also put the rural town of just 2,300 residents on the map. Beyond becoming an American classic, the tale inspired a real-life jumping frog contest that has evolved into a beloved tradition and nearly a legend itself. The event, known as the Jumping Frog Jubilee, takes place every third weekend in May at the Calaveras County Fair. Each spring, people from across the globe flock to Angels Camp — some to enter their frogs in the contest, others to watch the fun. Contestants compete for prizes ranging from $10 to $1,500, and “jockeying” (encouraging one’s frog to jump as far as possible) brings joy to both participants and audience. The story behind the contest began in 1860, when Twain traveled from San Francisco to the Calaveras Country to visit a friend. There, he heard a funny anecdote (轶事) he later retold in his tale: a boastful man named Jim Smiley bet $40 that his frog, Daniel Webster, could outjump any frog in Calaveras County. A quiet stranger tricked Smiley by making Daniel Webster swallow something heavy, leaving the frog unable to jump — and Smiley out of his money. As Twain’s story grew in popularity, so did Angels Camp. In 1928, townsfolk decided to turn jumping frogs into a local attraction, launching the annual contest. Since then, the event has grown dramatically, drawing entries from countries like Malaysia, China, Britain, France, Germany, and across North America. All participants hope their frogs will claim the title of World Record Holder. The current champion is Rosie the Ribiter, a famous frog from Santa Clara, California, who set an unbeaten record in 1986 by jumping 21 feet, 5 3/4 inches in three jumps. 4. What made Angels Camp world-famous? A. Its annual county fair. B. Its long history. C. A record-breaking jumping frog. D. Mark Twain’s famous story. 5 When did Mark Twain hear the original story that inspired his famous tale? A. When he was on a trip in Calaveras County. B. When Rosie the Ribiter set the world record. C. When the first Jumping Frog Jubilee was held. D. When he visited Angels Camp for the frog contest. 6. How did the stranger defeat Jim Smiley in the bet? A. He trained a faster frog secretly. B. He made Daniel Webster eat something. C. He cheated by changing the contest rules. D. He distracted Smiley during the competition. 7. What is the tone of the passage? A. Argumentative. B. Reflective. C. Informative. D. Persuasive C Electric vehicles (EVs) have become common in developed nations, led by pioneers like Tesla. However, adoption in less developed countries is slower. South Africa is the only African nation beginning the transition, with EVs accounting for under 1% of sales. Despite growing market share worldwide, this does not mean the world is on track to phase out petrol vehicles in under thirty years, nor that EVs are the guaranteed sustainable solution for the future. Massive EV development rests on two conditions. First, manufacturing expansion relies on an unstable supply chain for vital materials like lithium (锂), rare earths, and silicon chips, which have faced shortages since 2020. Second, few countries have electricity grids capable of handling the increasing demand from widespread EV adoption, causing the EV revolution to face insoluble problems outside the most developed nations. Ultimately, a successful transition depends on breakthroughs in three areas: battery weight, power capacity, and charging or exchanging speed. EVs are not a new idea. At the end of the 19th century, America had as many electric as gas cars. New York’s largest taxi company used EVs and established battery exchange stations, a process as quick as refueling. Today, battery exchange could solve slow recharging, but it’s not practical with current large, heavy batteries. While lithium batteries are twice as efficient as five years ago, a giant leap is needed to store more energy in smaller, lighter units. Global teams are working on this, but a revolutionary design remains unattainable. For clean electricity supply, progress is underway. Ideally, recharging points, especially in hot or rural areas, will be autonomous, generating electricity from solar, wind, or water and storing it mechanically or in batteries. This technology exists, with companies already employing solar-powered stations. Believers in technology’s problem-solving ability may be realistic or over-optimistic. Environmental issues and lacks of material could disrupt progress. Whether all nations, especially poorer ones, can complete this revolution remains uncertain. For now, progress continues, but the EV revolution in terms of volume has only just begun. 8. What does the underlined words “phase out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refuel. B. Resolve. C. Recharge. D. Replace. 9. Which of the following factor restricts the large-scale development of EVs? A. Shortages of crucial materials. B. The high demand for building gas stations. C. The lack of interest from car manufacturers. D. The absence of battery exchange technology. 10. What is an ideal feature of recharging points in the high-temperature countryside? A. They can only store energy in batteries. B. They require constant human supervision. C. They rely entirely on renewable solar energy. D. They produce power from sustainable resources. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the challenges in the global shift to electric vehicles. B. To advertise the latest battery technology from developed countries. C. To predict the exact year when petrol cars will be phased out globally. D. To promote the benefits of electric vehicles in less developed countries. D Adults are often unwilling to ask for aid. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason. They hate hearing irresponsible comments. Psychologists assumed that children did not start to care about their reputation until around age nine. This research has revealed that youngsters as young as age five start to care about the way others think about them. It also suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. Our researchers crafted simple stories and then asked children questions to allow them to show their thinking. In one study, they asked 576 children aged four to nine to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the kids genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. Both kids did poorly on a test. Children were asked which of these kids would be more likely to ask the teacher for help in front of their class. The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. When assistance could be sought privately, they thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. If children are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. Teachers could make themselves available to students for one-on-one conversations while their classmates tackle group work. They should also help students look upon it as positive behavior. Seeking help could even be framed as socially desirable. Parents could point out how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together. Such response sends a strong signal that other people value a willingness to ask for aid. 12. What can we infer about four-year-olds from the study? A. They care more about being smart than seeming smart. B. They prefer to seek help privately rather than in public. C. They don’t link asking for help with being incompetent. D. They are more willing to ask teachers for help than classmates. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why the study was designed. B. How the study was carried out. C Who were involved in the study. D. What the study told us about kids. 14. What is suggested for teachers as a possible solution? A. Paying attention to group work. B. Building a class of positive behavior. C. Reminding students of learning difficulties. D. Having personal interactions with students. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Supportive Adults: The Roles of Teachers and Parents B. The Age of Insecurity: Why Children Stop Asking Questions C. Hidden Barriers to Learning: How Reputation Fears Limit Help D.

My parents labored with all their might, yet money was always tight. Despite the challenges we faced, they always made sure I understood how vital kindness and generosity were — even when we had little to give. One day, our school announced a volunteer activity to help an elderly woman in the nearby community. She lived alone and needed assistance with daily tasks. The school encouraged students to donate money to support her. When I got home that evening, I told my mom about the initiative. She listened attentively. “Why don’t we make her a basket of homemade cookies?” my mom suggested, her voice full of enthusiasm. “I’m sure she’d love something fresh and homemade.” I hesitated. I worried that my classmates would think less of me for not contributing cash. “It’s the thought that counts,” Mom said gently, placing a hand on my shoulder. The next morning, I arrived at school with a basket of cookies my mom and I had made together the night before. The smell of freshly baked goods filled the air, and I could see the effort and love that had gone into each piece. When it was time to collect donations, my classmates, one by one, pulled out their wallets and placed crisp bills into the collection box. I stepped forward with my basket. The room fell silent. “Why did you bring food?” one of my classmates asked, her voice filled with disdain (鄙视). “We’re supposed to donate money.” “Maybe her family is too poor to donate anything else,” Another student whispered loudly, drawing a few more giggles (笑) from the others. I felt my cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to explain, but the words stuck in my throat. Then I remembered my mom’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The elderly woman welcomed us with a warm smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
