Here are some pieces of news on what’s happening around the world. Ohio, US Artist recycles rubbish into large trolls (怪物) Artist Thomas Dambo builds big trolls from old trash. He wants to show that waste can turn into art. He put three trolls in Aullwood Audubon, a home for birds. The center’s boss, Alexis Faust, says, “The trolls look like guards for the birds. They tell us to guard nature, too.” Falkland Islands Albatrosses (信天翁) break up more often Albatross birds often stay with one partner forever. But a new study says more albatross pairs are now breaking up. Scientists think the reason is the stress from nature changes. The sea is getting warmer, so the birds have to fly farther to find food, and this makes them split. Seoul, Republic of Korea (ROK) Singing robots enter the classroom Seoul, the capital of the ROK, has put a small robot in 300 kindergartens to help kids get ready for a high-tech world. The robot can sing, dance, and even show kung-fu moves. One class found they could make the robot talk by giving it a short order. Teacher Byun Seo-yeon says the robots will make the children more creative. Yakutia, Russia Endangered tigers come back In Yakutia, Russia, Amur tiger footprints were found. This is the first time in 50 years! The Amur tiger is also called the Siberian tiger. It’s an endangered animal. In the 1940s, there were less than 50 of them in the wild. But now, thanks to people trying to protect them, their numbers have gone up. In the Russian Far East, there were more than 330 Amur tigers in 2005, and now there are more than 600 of them. 1. What are the trolls used to do? A. Bring more birds. B. Help use more rubbish. C. Make more people visit birds. D. Remind people to care for birds. 2. Why are singing robots used in the classroom? A. To help kids create music. B To teach kids about technology. C. To get kids to exercise more. D. To grow kids’ creativity. 3. What can we know from the text? A. Albatrosses are in danger. B. Siberian tigers are gone in the wild. C. Albatrosses flew farther for food before. D. There are fewer Siberian tigers than before. B Last spring, our school organized a tree-planting event at a nearby barren hill. To be honest, when I first signed up, I thought it would just be a simple, fun day out. I imagined us digging a small hole, dropping a seedling in, and we’d be done. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The reality was much tougher. The sun was beating down, and the soil was hard and rocky. My hands were sore from digging, and sweat poured down my face. For a moment, I felt like giving up. The task seemed daunting. But then I looked around. Everyone was working just as hard. My classmates were encouraging each other, sharing water, and working in teams to break through the tough ground. Our teacher, Mr. Li, whose shirt was wet with sweat, was right there with us, showing us the proper way to plant the seedlings to ensure they would survive. We worked for hours, and by the end of the day, we had planted over two hundred saplings (树苗). Looking at the rows of tiny trees standing proudly on the once-empty hillside, I felt a sense of accomplishment I had never experienced before. It was a feeling far greater than winning a video game or getting a high score in a test. That day, I learned that making a real difference requires effort and teamwork. It’s not about one grand action, but about many small, consistent efforts. We were more than just planting a tree; we planted hope for a greener future. And more importantly, the experience planted a seed of responsibility in my own heart. I understood that we are all caretakers of our planet, and every small act counts. 4. What did the author think of the tree-planting event at first? A. He felt it was a waste of time. B. He was excited about the task. C. He thought the task would be easy. D. He was worried about the hot weather. 5. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Discouraging. B. Rewarding. C. Amusing. D. Interesting. 6. What did the author gain from the tree-planting experience? A. Skills in teamwork and leadership. B. An appreciation for the beauty of nature. C. The chance to win an award from the school. D. A sense of responsibility and accomplishment. 7. What message does the author mainly want to convey? A. Teamwork can make any difficult task easier. B. Planting trees is important for the environment. C. Challenges can be overcome through effort and teamwork. D. Outdoor activities are more valuable than classroom learning. C When technology quickly changes our world, we might ask: Are our old cultural traditions disappearing, or are they being reborn? In China, an interesting mix of old and new shows that technology is not fighting tradition. Instead, it is a strong tool to help bring traditions back to life and pass them on to young people. Take the Spring Festival, China’s most important holiday, as an example. The old custom of giving red envelopes with money inside has changed. Now, many millions of people use apps to send and get digital red envelopes. This change to digital form has not reduced the tradition’s meaning of bringing good luck and wishes. In fact, it has made the custom more fun and convenient. This is especially engaging for young people who often live without using much cash. Traditional performing arts are also joining this digital trend. For example, Chinese opera, a valuable cultural art, is now using modern stage effects. Shows might use better sound and lights, or even drones to create amazing scenes that were not possible before. This attracts people who once thought opera was hard to understand or old-fashioned. At a recent show, AI robot dogs performed a traditional dance together perfectly. The performance surprised the audience and showed a wonderful mix of old culture and new technology. Even the important value of family reunion is helped by modern technology. China’s large high-speed rail network makes trips home for the holidays much quicker and easier. For family members who cannot travel, video calls and social media become places for online gatherings. They allow families separated by long distances to share happy festival moments together. In the end technology is creating new containers for our old cultural traditions. It makes sure that the true spirit of these traditions — like community, good wishes, and family love — does not just continue, but grows stronger in the modern world. It connects the past and the present in active and exciting ways. 8. What can we know about digital red envelopes? A. They are widely accepted by elderly people. B. They have made the custom easier and funnier. C. They have made the custom less meaningful. D. They are less safe than traditional paper envelopes. 9. What do the examples in paragraph 3 indicate? A. High-tech effects are now part of traditions. B. Chinese opera is losing its importance today. C Traditional arts depend on high-tech to survive. D. Technology makes traditional arts more attractive. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the mix of technology and tradition? A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Young people are ignoring old traditions. B. Technology is helping keep traditions alive. C. Technology is replacing traditional customs. D. Technology is changing the meaning of traditions. D Raindrops are more than a source of fresh water. They carry energy, and scientists have been exploring how to turn that energy into electricity for years. Traditional droplet electricity generators (液滴发电机) often struggle with low output, heavy weight, and limited applicable. A research team has now developed a new solution: allowing the generator to remain on the water surface. This solution cuts the generator’s weight by about 80 percent and lowers cost by about 50 percent while having similar electrical output compared to old systems. Durability (耐用性) is a major advantage of the new system. Many similar generators see their power output decline over time, but this new system will work well for a long time because of its special materials. To improve durability further, the team used water’s surface stress to design drainage (排水) holes that let water move downward but not upward. This creates a way to remove extra droplets. “By allowing the generator to remain on the water surface, we’ve unlocked a new strategy for droplet electricity generator that is lightweight, cost-effective, and suitable for broad use,” said Wanlin Guo, a member of the research team. “This opens the door to land-free generator systems that can work alongside renewable technologies like solar and wind.” The influence of this research goes beyond getting energy from rainfall. Because the generator naturally remains on the water surface, it could support environmental monitoring systems in different kinds of water settings, including technologies for testing water quality, or pollution level. In areas with frequent rain, the technology could offer a source of clean power for local use or even for export to other areas. Although the laboratory results are encouraging, the researchers emphasize that additional work is necessary before the technology can be used widely. Real raindrops differ in both size and speed, and these differences could affect the generator’s output. Even so, the laboratory results tell us that we have made an important step toward practical applications. 12. What is the main improvement of the new droplet electricity generator? A. It changes the power source. B. It is simpler and more reliable. C. It has higher power output. D. It is much lighter and cheaper. 13. What extra application of the new system is mentioned in the text? A. Improving old generators. B. Collecting environmental data. C. Providing drinking water. D. Predicting natural disasters. 14. Why does the author mention “real raindrops differ in both size and speed”? A. To state a research limitation. B. To explain the energy theory. C. To compare various rainfalls. D. To doubt the generator’s design. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Durable System for Collecting Raindrops B. The Problems with Old Droplet Generators C. A New Design of Getting Raindrop Energy D. The Breakthrough in Water-Based Generators 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。 Fast-food chains are everywhere, and their quick, convenient and tasty meals are attractive when you are on the go.

The sun streamed warmly into the familiar book-lined study and they settled into comfortable armchairs, exchanging updates and laughter. Yet, it wasn’t long before the light-hearted conversation gradually shifted, filling with complaints about the endless stress and challenges in their work and personal lives. The professor listened quietly, then stood up and said, “I think what we all need right now is some good coffee.” He excused himself and went into the kitchen. Shortly after, he returned carrying a large, steaming pot of freshly brewed coffee, its rich aroma (芳香) beginning to fill the room. Behind him, his wife carried a tray filled with a variety of cups. There were porcelain cups, simple glass mugs, plastic ones, and even a few delicate, beautifully crafted crystal cups. “Please, help yourselves,” the professor said with an inviting smile. The graduates, fascinated by the variety, got up and gathered around the tray. Almost instinctively, hands reached out for the most exquisite and expensive-looking cups. The finely painted porcelain and the sparkling crystal ones were taken first, leaving behind the plain, inexpensive, and ordinary cups. Soon, everyone had returned to their seats, each holding a cup of the dark, fragrant coffee. The room was now filled with the comforting and sweet scent of the coffee, a total contrast to the earlier tense mood. Noticing this, the professor smiled thoughtfully and remarked, “It’s interesting, isn’t it? All the fine cups were taken quickly, while the plain ones remain. It’s human nature to want the best for ourselves. But remember, the cup does not change the taste of the coffee. You came for the coffee, not the cup. Yet, you couldn’t help choosing the finest one you could find, and some of you are even glancing at your neighbor’s cup with admiration or envy.” 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。 He paused, letting his words sink in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Life, like this coffee, is what we truly need to enjoy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一阶段性检测 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

When I am free, I enjoy playing basketball, doing traditional paper-cutting, practising Chinese calligraphy and sometimes taking photos of the old buildings. In order to improve our language skills together, I would like to suggest a simple plan: Every Friday, we can send each other one e-mail containing two paragraphs. The first paragraph should be written in English and the second in Chinese. I will correct your Chinese sentences and you can help me with my English. Meanwhile, we can also exchange interesting information about Chinese festivals, traditional culture or your local customs. I am looking forward to your reply and I believe we will both make great progress. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】参考范文： He paused, letting his words sink in. The room grew quiet, the only sound being the gentle clinking of cups. One by one, the graduates looked down — their eyes moving from the pretty designs and the delicate handles of their chosen cups to the dark, steaming liquid within. A shared, quiet realization seemed to pass among them. The initial pride of holding the finest cup began to fade, replaced by a subtle understanding. The rich, inviting aroma of the coffee seemed to grow stronger, pulling their focus from the container to the substance, preparing them for the first, truly conscious taste. Life, like this coffee, is what we truly need to enjoy. The jobs, the titles, the possessions — they are merely the cups, the containers.
