In terms of material submission,the bureau has simplified the process for certain eligible groups.Senior professionals recognized by the Shanghai municipal government and core members of key research teams only need to submit a unified talent certification document instead of multiple separate certificates.Meanwhile,all foreign-language materials must be translated by translation agencies accredited by the exit-entry administration,and the translated versions will be verified by the bureau free of charge. 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第3页共14页） The review period for applications has also been shortened.Previously,the review took 60 working days. Now,for high-end talents and foreign investors who meet the key development needs of Shanghai,the review period has been reduced to 40 working days.Applicants can track the review progress through the online platform,and the bureau will notify them via SMS once a decision is made "These measures are part of Shanghai's efforts to build an international talent highland,"said an official from the bureau."We hope to create a more convenient and efficient environment for foreigners who are willing to work and settle in Shanghai,contributing to the city's high-quality development." It is reported that the Foreigner's Permanent Residence Permit allows holders to enjoy the same rights as Chinese citizens in areas such as education,medical care and social security,except for specific political rights as regulated by law.Applicants can submit their applications at the Immigration Service Center in Pudong New Area or local exit-entry administration offices of district public security bureaus,which are open from 9 am to 5 pm on workdays,with no service on weekends and public holidays. 21.What is the main purpose of the new measures launched by Shanghai's exit-entry bureau? A.To reduce the number of application materials required. B.To attract international talents and promote local development. C.To shorten the review period for all permanent residence applications. D.To expand the scope of eligible applicants for permanent residence. 22.Which of the following is true about the optimized services? A.Applicants can make appointments through two online channels. B.All applicants enjoy a shortened review period of 40 working days. C.Foreign-language materials can be translated by any local agency. D.The administration offices provide services on weekends for convenience. 23.We can infer from the passage that A.the "Suishenban"app is the only official appointment channel. B.high-end talents need to submit more certificates than before. C.permanent residence holders have limited access to medical care. D.the optimized services reflect Shanghai's focus on talent introduction. People's responses to anxiety vary significantly from individual to individual.Some choose to avoid facing it directly,tuming a blind eye to the growing sense of anxiety prevalent in society.Others,however,stay in a state of 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第4页共14页) constant alert,craving the latest news and social media updates endlessly,as if keeping abreast of every detail could ease their unease. The renowned philosopher Martin Buber pointed out that human beings relate to three aspects of their surroundings:nature,fellow humans,and their own worldview.When burdened by anxiety,we tend to overlook all these.In contrast,once we free ourselves from the grip of depression and anxiety,we can rediscover thejoys and wonders around us and nurture a profound sense of gratitude In an era where news is just a click away,people's anxiety often reaches extreme levels.The 24/7 media coverage has blurred the lines between international events and personal interactions in an unprecedented way.This overexposure to information has deprived many of the ability to maintain inner peace.The core issue is not merely conflicting views on various topics,but a lack of patience for meaningful communication and mutual understanding. Changing this situation is not an overnight task;it requires deliberate effort,as it stems from the pursuit of understanding and calmness The age of anxiety brings us numerous challenges,but adversity also breeds opportunities.It is impossible to remain calm and feel grateful when we are overwhelmed by worry and anxiety.Like any valuable skill,relaxation and calmness demand practice.We can start by limiting our exposure to constant news updates and spending a few minutes each day reflecting on our blessings-including the people who care about us and the favors we have received.It is often taking things for granted that prevents us from appreciating the fruits of our lives.Cultivating gratitude and pray ing for kindness may well be our most effective way to cope with anxiety. 24.What can we learn about a relaxed person from Paragraph 2? A.They are eager to get the latest news. B.They can discover the beauty around them. C.They pay little attention to their mental state.D.They prioritize interactions with nature over fellows 25.What is the main cause of people's extreme anxiety according to Paragraph 3? A.Overexposure to 24/7 media and information.B.Widespread false information online C.Conflicting views on social issues. D.Lack of communication skills. 26.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.The importance of overcoming challenges in life. B.Ways to relieve anxiety and cherish blessings. C.How to avoid taking things for granted. D.The difficulty of maintaining inner peace. 27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Gratitude:The Antidote to Anxiety in Modern Life B.Media:The Root Cause of Social Anxiety C.How to Communicate Effectively in an Anxious Age D.Embrace Challenges and Seize Opportunities 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第5页共14页） O It was the autumn of our senior year when Leo first noticed Jake sitting alone in the music room.The sunlight filtered through the dusty window,falling on Jake's hunched shoulders as he ran his fingers gently over the strings of an old acoustic guitar-its paint chipped,its body worn,yet held with a tenderness that caught Leo's breath.Leo, who'd always hidden his love for music behind thick textbooks,hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open softly "It sounds beautiful,"Leo said,his voice quieter than he'd intended.Jake looked up,his eyes wide with surprise,then softened into a faint smile."It's my grandma's,"he explained,brushing a strand of messy black hair behind his ear."She taught me to play before she passed away.I come here to practice so I won't forget her touch.That day,they sat together for an hour-Jake playing soft folk songs,Leo listening,and neither speaking much beyond the music.It was the start of something neither of them could name,yet both cherished deeply. As the college entrance exam drew near,the school was filled with the pressure of endless papers and late-night study sessions.Leo,who struggled with math,often stayed after class to review,and Jake would always wait for him-bringing a warm cup of soy milk,sitting quietly beside him,and solving complex equations with a patience Leo admired.In return,Leo would accompany Jake to the music room every weekend,watching as Jake poured his heart into the old guitar,his fingers dancing over the strings like they belonged there. One rainy evening,Jake didn't show up for their usual study session.Leo searched the school anxiously, finally finding him in the music room,tears streaming down his face.The guitar lay on the floor,its neck cracked. "My mom says I have to give up music,"Jake sobbed."She thinks it's a waste of time with the exam coming. She broke it."Leo knelt down,picked up the guitar carefully,and wiped Jake's tears with his sleeve."We'll fix it,”he said firmly.“And you'll keep playing.I promise.” For the next two weeks,Leo spent every spare minute repairing the guitar-saving his pocket money to buy glue and new strings,asking the music teacher for help after class,and working late into the night when his parents were asleep.On the day of their graduation rehearsal,Leo handed the guitar back to Jake.It wasn't perfect-the crack was still visible-but it played as beautifully as before.Jake held it,then looked up at Leo,his eyes shining with gratitude and something more profound They went their separate ways after graduation-Leo to a university in the north to study literature,Jake to the south to pursue music.They kept in touch with letters,each envelope filled with stories of new lives,but never once mentioned the feelings that had lingered between them in the music room.Years later,when Leo returned to their hometown,he found Jake playing the old guitar in a small cafe.As Jake finished the last note,he looked up 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第6页共14页) and saw Leo,and their smiles were the same as that autumn day so long ago.Some bonds,they both knew,don't need words to last a lifetime. 28.How did Lila and Mia's relationship start? A.They met by chance in the music room and shared a love for music. B.They were assigned to study together for the college entrance exam. C.Jake helped Leo with math and Leo repaired Jake's guitar in return. D.They knew each other through Mia's grandma who taught music. 29.What can we learn about Mia from the passage? A.She gave up music eventually because of her mother's pressure. B.The old guitar was a precious memory of his grandma. C.She was good at both music and literature. D.She hid her love for music to please her parents. 30.Why did Lila repair Mia's guitar? A.To show her thanks for Jake's help with math.B.To fulfill his promise and protect Jake's love for music. C.To make Mia stay in their hometown with her.D.To get Mia to teach her to play the guitar. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.A Broken Guitar and a New Beginning B.The Power of Music in Senior Year C.Unspoken Bonds:A Lifetime Friendship D.Pursuing Dreams Against Family Pressure D In the summer of 2023,a quiet revolution began in a small village library in Lijiang,Yunnan.Its unlikely leader was not a politician or a tech CEO,but 78-year-old librarian,Mr.He.For decades,his library,filled with dusty volumes on Naxi Dongba script and local folklore,had been a forgotten relic.Young people left for cities, and the few who remained saw little value in its ancient texts Mr.He,however,refused to let this cultural memory fade.His initial attempts to host reading sessions were met with empty chairs.Undeterred,he noticed that the village's only internet cafe was always packed with teenagers playing online games.An idea struck him:if the youth wouldn't come to the books,he would bring the books to their world He spent his modest pension on a second-hand tablet and,with help from a visiting university student,learned to create simple digital animations.His first project was an animated short about a legendary Naxi hero,rendered in the stark,pictographic style of Dongba manuscripts.He uploaded it to a popular short-video platform under the 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第7页共14页) username“Old He's Tales.” The video went viral locally.Within a week,a dozen curious teens showed up at the library,not to read,but to ask Mr.He how he made the animation.He seized the opportunity.Instead of just showing them the software,he handed them facsimiles of the original Dongba scrolls."The magic isn't in the program,"he told them,his voice firm but kind."It's in these lines.Every symbol here is a story your ancestors wanted you to remember." This became his new teaching method:use digital media as a hook,but anchor the learning in the physical artifacts.The teens started scanning the fragile manuscripts,not just to digitize them,but to understand the meaning behind each glyph before animating it.Their projects evolved from simple clips to interactive stories that blended traditional music with modern visuals. One of his students,Li Wei,whose own grandfather was a Dongba shaman,created an app that allowed users to "write"Dongba characters on their phones and hear the associated myths narrated in the Naxi language.The project won a national youth innovation award.At the ceremony,Li Wei credited Mr.He:"He didn't just teach us to use a tablet;he taught us to listen to our past through it." Today,Mr.He's library is no longer silent.It buzzes with the energy of young creators who see their heritage not as a burden,but as a source of inspiration.Mr.He watches them work,his gnarled hands now guiding a stylus on a screen,a quiet smile on his face.He has proven that preserving tradition isn't about building a museum behind glass;it's about finding a bridge to the future,even if that bridge is built with code and pixels. 32.What was the main challenge Mr.He faced at the beginning of his effort? A.He lacked the financial resources to buy new books for the library. B.The local government refused to support his cultural preservation project. C.The younger generation in the village showed no interest in the library's collection. D.He was unable to find anyone who could help him learn new technology. 33.In the context of the passage,what does the word "anchor"(Paragraph 4)most likely mean? A.To secure something firmly in place,like a ship with a heavy weight. B.To broadcast a news program from a central studio location. C.To provide a stable and central point of reference or connection. D.To restrict someone's freedom to move or act independently. 34.What can be inferred about Li Wei's project from the passage? A.It was primarily focused on creating a commercial product for profit B.It was a simple copy of Mr.He's original animation technique. 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第8页共14页） C.It received recognition but failed to connect with the local community. D.It successfully integrated traditional cultural elements with modern technology. 35.What is the author's attitude towards Mr.He's approach to cultural preservation? A.Skeptical,suggesting that digital methods dilute traditional authenticity. B.Neutral,merely presenting the facts without offering a personal opinion. C.Concerned,worrying that the focus on technology might overshadow the culture itself. D.Admiring,portraying his method as an effective and inspiring solution. 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 In today's digital age,maintaining deep focus has become increasingly difficult.Our phones buzz with notifications,social media feeds refresh endlessly,and multitasking is often praised as a skill Yet,research shows that constant distraction harms our ability to learn,think critically,and even feel content.The good news is that focus is like a muscle-it can be strengthened with the right practice. One effective strategy is to create a "distraction-free zone."This doesn't require a fancy office;it can be a quiet corner of your room or a library desk.The key is to remove temptations:put your phone on silent and out of sight,close unrelated browser tabs,and let others know you're not to be disturbed for a set period.(36). Even 25 minutes of uninterrupted work can lead to significant progress. Another powerful tool is the "Pomodoro Technique,"which involves working in focused 25-minute blocks followed by a short 5-minute break.(37).During the break,avoid screens-stretch,walk,or just breathe. This rhythm trains your brain to concentrate intensely for short periods,making large tasks feel more manageable. Moreover,it's crucial to recognize that not all distractions are external.Internal thoughts-worrying about grades or replaying a conversation-can be just as disruptive. (38).Simple mindfulness exercises,like focusing on your breath for one minute before studying,can help clear mental clutter and bring your attention back to the present task Finally,remember that building focus takes time and patience.Don't get discouraged if your mind wanders. (39).Each time you gently guide your attention back,you're strengthening your focus muscle.Over time, you'll find it easier to enter a state of flow,where learning feels effortless and enjoyable. In a world designed to grab your attention,choosing to focus is an act of quiet rebellion-and a gift to your future self. (40) A.This method helps prevent burnout and keeps your mind fresh. 2025一2026学年度铜川市第一学期期末质量监测高一英语科（第9页共14页) B.Many students report feeling more anxious when they study alone. C.Just knowing you have a dedicated space can signal your brain it's time to work. D.Gently acknowledge the thought and return to your task without judgment. E.Experts suggest that listening to music improves memory retention significantly. F.Consistent practice is far more important than perfect concentration. G.Therefore,developing this skill should be a top priority for every student Cloze and grammer (30) 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every December,the town of Maple Ridge holds a quiet tradition:handwritten holiday cards are delivered to every senior living alone.This custom began five years ago with one teenagers simple act-and has since grown into a community movement. It started when 16-year-old Noah visited his grandmother after Christmas.She showed him a stack of store-bought cards,all unsigned."No one wrote to me this year,"she said softly.Noah felt deeply(41).
