At the airport a security (安全) problem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting to fly home to Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 4. Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C. To return the rental camera. D. To express thanks for the service. 5. What happened to the author when he was waiting in line again? A. He kept the crowds orderly. B. He met Woody Harrelson. C. He was mistaken for an actor. D. He talked about his movies. 6. How did Cherié feel when seeing her husband according to paragraph 4? A. Annoyed. B. Frightened. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A Going with the Flow B. Believing in Strangers C. Enjoying a Happy Mistake D. Buying a Ticket to Life A major reason why plastic bags and yogurt containers aren’t recycled is that it’s much more frugal to make these products from the ground up than to recycle them. However, a new recycling technique promises a cost-effective way to turn these common plastic waste items into high-quality liquid fuels. What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in these plastics requires very high temperatures to break, making the process energy-consuming. Once the bonds break, the smaller molecules (分子) quickly form new bonds, resulting in unwanted chemicals. These byproducts then have to be broken down again, adding time and complexity. Researchers developed a way to transform these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃, without creating any side products. They conduct the chemical reaction in the presence of a new type of catalyst (催化剂) in a special acidic solution. In these reaction conditions, as soon as the carbon bonds in the plastic break apart, new bonds form in a controlled way, giving off the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel or as raw material for new plastics. The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much more time, and need temperatures of over 200°C. Up to now, this catalyst has been used in some factories. But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a low-cost method to turn single-use plastics into high-value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable. 8. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1? A. typical. B. expensive. C. inexpensive. D. reasonable. 9. What can we know about plastics from paragraph 2? A. They stretch easily and quickly. B. They are productive in poisonous gases. C. They fail to resist heat perfectly. D. They are stable in chemical properties. 10. What does the new way of recycling plastics feature? A. Keeping new bonds from forming. B. Controlling acidity of the solution. C. Stressing cleanliness and speed. D. Extending functions of plastics. 11. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’s wide application? A. Cautious. B. Hopeless. C. Critical. D. Optimistic. Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 12. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 13. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 14. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 15. What’s the passage’s main purpose? A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies. B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations. C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice. D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”. 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。 We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. ____16____ The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. ____17____ They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption. ____18____ Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. ____19____ Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues. Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. ____20____ You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly. A. Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires. B. Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story. C. Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time. D. Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars. E. Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon. F. Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems. G. Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There’s an autumn day that I recall (回想) every time I find myself caught up in the rush of life.

However, all that changed when Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him. As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive. One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly neighborhood ties are gone. One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy box along his driveway. 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。 It seemed that he was about to drop it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we were standing in his living room, Mr. Thompson broke the ice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第一学期高二期末检测题 英语 （检测时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题，第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2.答题前，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；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4.检测结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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，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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 4. Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C. To return the rental camera. D. To express thanks for the service. 5. What happened to the author when he was waiting in line again? A. He kept the crowds orderly. B. He met Woody Harrelson. C. He was mistaken for an actor. D. He talked about his movies. 6. How did Cherié feel when seeing her husband according to paragraph 4? A. Annoyed. B. Frightened. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Going with the Flow B. Believing in Strangers C. Enjoying a Happy Mistake D. Buying a Ticket to Life 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7.

However, a new recycling technique promises a cost-effective way to turn these common plastic waste items into high-quality liquid fuels. What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in these plastics requires very high temperatures to break, making the process energy-consuming. Once the bonds break, the smaller molecules (分子) quickly form new bonds, resulting in unwanted chemicals. These byproducts then have to be broken down again, adding time and complexity. Researchers developed a way to transform these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃, without creating any side products. They conduct the chemical reaction in the presence of a new type of catalyst (催化剂) in a special acidic solution. In these reaction conditions, as soon as the carbon bonds in the plastic break apart, new bonds form in a controlled way, giving off the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel or as raw material for new plastics. The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much more time, and need temperatures of over 200°C. Up to now, this catalyst has been used in some factories. But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a low-cost method to turn single-use plastics into high-value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable. 8. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1? A. typical. B. expensive. C. inexpensive. D. reasonable. 9. What can we know about plastics from paragraph 2? A. They stretch easily and quickly. B. They are productive in poisonous gases. C. They fail to resist heat perfectly. D. They are stable in chemical properties. 10. What does the new way of recycling plastics feature? A. Keeping new bonds from forming. B. Controlling acidity of the solution. C. Stressing cleanliness and speed. D. Extending functions of plastics. 11. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’s wide application? A. Cautious. B. Hopeless. C. Critical. D. Optimistic. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一种新型塑料回收技术，可将常见塑料垃圾转化为高质量液体燃料。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A major reason why plastic bags and yogurt containers aren’t recycled is that it’s much more frugal to make these products from the ground up than to recycle them.(塑料袋和酸奶容器不被回收利用的一个主要原因是，从头开始制造这些产品比回收它们要更frugal。)”可知，“未回收” 的原因应是 “原生制造” 在成本上更有优势。结合选项，frugal在此处应表示 “省钱的、低成本的”，与 “inexpensive” 含义相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The strong carbon-carbon bonds in these plastics requires very high temperatures to break, making the process energy-consuming.(这些塑料中强大的碳-碳键需要非常高的温度才能断裂，这使得这个过程非常耗能。)”可知，塑料的化学性质稳定。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers developed a way to turn these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃, without creating any side products.(研究人员开发出一种方法，能在低于100℃的温度下将这些塑料转化为有用的燃料，且不产生任何副产物。)”和“The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃.(整个反应在一个反应容器中进行。它只需要三个小时，在70℃下进行。)”可知，新型塑料回收方法的特点是清洁和快速。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a low-cost method to turn single-use plastics into high-value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable.(但要确定该技术是否能推广到更多场景，还需要开展更多研究。如果可以实现推广，这种能将一次性塑料转化为高价值材料的低成本方法，将对推动塑料经济实现可持续发展大有帮助。)”可知，研究人员认为该技术能否广泛应用还需要更多研究，他们的态度是谨慎的。故选A。 Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 12. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 13. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 14. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 15. What’s the passage’s main purpose? A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies. B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations. C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice. D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe (可能)”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段讲述演唱会门票邀请朋友得到“可能”回复的趣闻后，第二段紧接着指出“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding ‘maybe’ to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. (如果你有过类似上述趣闻的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复‘可能’是社交生活中常见却令人困扰的一个方面。)” 由此可见，开篇的演唱会趣闻是为了引出“对邀请回复‘可能’”这一常见社交场景。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. (我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以偏见的方式解读信息以满足自己的愿望时，就会发生动机性推理。)” 可知，对邀请回复“可能”的主要原因是受邀者存在偏见性的信息解读，即对社交线索的偏见性理解。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain (虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但直接明确有时是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但它会让那些邀请你的人不会陷入不确定的境地)” 可知，作者建议优先选择明确的回复，而非保留选择余地。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇引入“可能”回复的社交现象，第三段明确“We wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” (我们想弄清楚这种尴尬的互动为什么会发生。我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的)”，即核心部分在探索人们说“可能”的原因；最后一段则提出“being direct and definite is sometimes best (直接明确有时是最好的选择)”，由此可知，文章目的是倡导明确回复。故选A。 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。 We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer.

A 44. circles 45. best 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出肢体语言在人际交往中很重要，且因文化而异，也提到有些手势的含义是通用的。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：就像口语一样，肢体语言因文化而异。空处作句子的谓语，此处在描述一般性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，主语body language是单数，vary“不同，呈现差异”应用第三人称单数形式。故填varies。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：重要的是，我们要以一种适合我们所处文化的方式使用肢体语言。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a way，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which作引导词。故填that/which。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：相比之下，在其他国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可的。approve of是固定短语，表示“赞成，认可”。故填of。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在日本，看到别人做这个手势的人可能会认为这是钱的意思。结合语境此处表示目睹另一个人正在使用这个手势，应用witness sb. doing sth.表示“目睹某人正在做某事”，用employ的现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填employing。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：就连我们表示“是”和“不是”的手势在世界各地也不一样。句子已有谓语，空处是非谓语，作the gesture的后置定语，use“使用”和the gesture逻辑上是被动关系，因此用use的过去分词形式。故填used。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：相比之下，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部，这些手势的意思正好相反。by comparison是固定短语，意为“相比之下”。故填comparison。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：相比之下，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部，这些手势的意思正好相反。空处作修饰Albania的定语，应用south的形容词形式southern，意为“南部的”。故填southern。 43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：说“我吃饱了”的一个好方法是在饭后用手在肚子上转圈圈。空处表示泛指，意为“一个好方法”，应用不定冠词，且good的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a，句首单词的首字母需大写。故填A。 【44题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：说“我吃饱了”的一个好方法是在饭后用手在肚子上转圈圈。in circles是固定短语，表示“转圈，循环”。故填circles。 【45题详解】 考查最高级。句意：也许最好的例子是微笑，它可以在许多方面极大地帮助我们。空前有定冠词“the”，结合语境此处表示“最好的例子”，因此用good的最高级best。故填best。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是高二学生李华，下周你将代表班级参加学校以“Science and technology changes life”为题的演讲比赛，请写一篇英文演讲稿，内容包括： 1.举例说明科技对生活的影响； 2.你的感受。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear teachers and fellow students, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear teachers and fellow students, I’m honored to share my opinion on how science and technology changes our life.

However, all that changed when Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him. As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive. One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly neighborhood ties are gone. One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy box along his driveway. 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。 It seemed that he was about to drop it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we were standing in his living room, Mr. Thompson broke the ice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 It seemed that he was about to drop it. I hesitated for a moment, recalling all the unpleasant experiences I had with him. A part of me felt that he deserved to struggle after how rudely he had treated me. But as I watched him wobble under the weight of the box, his face tense with effort, another part of me felt guilty for just standing there. I had always believed in kindness, yet here I was, debating whether to help a neighbor in need. Taking a deep breath, I set aside my pride and walked over. “Let me help you.” I said, reaching for the box. He looked at me, surprised, but after a brief pause, he nodded silently, and together we carried it inside. As we were standing in his living room, Mr. Thompson broke the ice. He let out a sigh and, in a softer tone than I had ever heard from him, admitted that he hadn’t meant to be rude before. Recovering from surgery had left him frustrated and short-tempered, and he realized now how inconsiderate he had been. Hearing this, my frustration melted away. I admitted that I had judged him too quickly. As we talked, the tension between us faded, replaced by a quiet understanding. From that day on, our relationship changed—we weren’t just neighbors anymore but two people willing to give each other a second chance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者原本认为自己的社区宁静友好，但汤普森先生搬来后打破了这份平静。汤普森先生停车挡住作者车道、其狗日夜吠叫，作者多次沟通无果，两人还发生激烈争吵，邻里关系恶化。直到一天，作者看到汤普森先生搬重物吃力，故事迎来转机。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他似乎要把它掉下去了。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到汤普森先生搬重物艰难，内心会因过往矛盾产生纠结，但善良本性可能促使他决定帮忙，从而有机会与汤普森先生近距离接触，为后续交流和解埋下伏笔。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们站在他的客厅里时，汤普森先生打破了沉默”可知，第二段可描写进入室内后，汤普森先生主动打破沉默，接下来应是双方进行深入交流，汤普森先生解释之前行为的原因，消除误会，修复邻里关系。 2.续写线索：看到汤普森先生搬重物吃力，内心纠结（因过往矛盾不想帮忙，但善良本性促使帮忙）—决定帮忙并一起将重物搬进室内—进入室内后汤普森先生打破沉默开始解释 —双方交流，汤普森先生说明之前行为原因（如术后恢复导致情绪不佳）—作者理解并反思自己的判断—双方消除误会，邻里关系改善。 3.词汇激活 行为类： ① 犹豫：hesitate /waver ② 伸手：reach for /stretch out one's hand ③ 承认：admit /acknowledge 情绪类： ① 沮丧的：frustrated /disappointed ② 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型 1】But as I watched him wobble under the weight of the box, his face tense with effort, another part of me felt guilty for just standing there.（运用了as 引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】He let out a sigh and, in a softer tone than I had ever heard from him, admitted that he hadn't meant to be rude before.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
