On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, “I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 24. What did the author think of photography as a teenager? A. Encouraging and practical. B. Thrilling and rewarding. C. Difficult yet interesting. D. Tiring yet delightful. 25. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A. He was busy with his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow. C. He experienced increasing pressure. D. He attempted to behave like an adult. 26. What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A. Better skills of observation. B. New journeys in the wild. C. Different styles of photography. D. More enjoyment in the daily routine. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Admiring Beauty Behind the Lens B. Rediscovering Lost Childhood Memories. C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera. D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography. C The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked (解开) years ago — by McDonald's. According to a new study from Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards — like the toys in McDonald's Happy Meals — stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does. The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item. They found that the majority (大多数) of both kids and adults preferred a half-sized portion (份) when combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same. Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a real gift in persuading (说服) people to eat less. “The fact that participants were willing to exchange part of a food item for the mere likelihood of a relatively small monetary award is interesting,” says Reimann. He theorizes that it is the emotional component (成分) of these intangible (无形的) prizes that make them effective. In fact, less clearly stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with fixed odds (概率) included. “One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally stimulating than certainty awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope — a state that is in itself psychologically (心理学上) rewarding.” In other words, there's a reason why people like to gamble (赌博). How might this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily? One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa (温泉疗养) weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant — and make you eat a little less. 28. McDonald's inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals ________. A. has been a secret for many years B. offers a way to lose weight C. is the key to McDonald's success D. stimulates kids to eat more 29. What did Martin Reimann's experiments find out? A. Eating less may happen even if the award is intangible. B. The majority of people prefer a half-sized portion of food. C People tend to ask for a prize if they are given a small meal. D. Healthy eating habits can be built by choosing smaller meals. 30. What may be the main factor that leads to the phenomenon (现象) in the experiment? A. The certainty to win. B. The need for money. C. The health knowledge. D. The gambling thrill. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More restaurants are likely to follow McDonald's example. B. People should eat less if they wish to stay healthy and happy. C. We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business. D. More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion while eating. D Mobile phones are set to be prohibited in schools across England as part of the government’s plan to minimize disturbance and improve behavior in classrooms. New mobile phones in schools guidance issued today backs headteachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times. Many schools around the country are already prohibiting mobile phone use with great results. This guidance will ensure there is a uniform approach across all schools. By the age of 12, 97% of children have their own mobile phone, according to Ofcom. Too much time spent on mobile phones in schools can lead to online bullying, distraction and classroom disturbance which, in turn, can lead to lost learning time. Last year, UNESCO called for smartphones to be banned from schools as evidence showed it was linked to reduced educational performance and that too much screen time had a negative impact on children’s well-being. Schools will be supported to prohibit mobile phone use with different approaches including banning phones from the school, handing in phones on arrival at school, and keeping phones securely locked away at school. The guidance will respond to concerns from parents about mobile phones, with the latest data from Parent Kind’s National Parent Survey, revealing that 44% of parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend on electronic devices, rising to 50% of parents of secondary school children. “We are making long-term decisions to ensure all pupils have world class education. This guidance builds on that work which has delivered 89% of schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from just 68% in 2010. Our plan is working with school standards rising across the board. England has leveled up the international rankings for academic attainment through our multimillion-pound Maths and English program. We are now one of the top performing countries in the Western world for Maths and reading. The government will continue to build on this progress by delivering crucial reforms including by creating the Advanced British Standard.” Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said. 32. What does the underline word “uniform” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Consistent. B. Critical. C. Contradictory. D. Conventional. 33. Which of the following approach is NOT backed by the new guidance? A. Introducing phone lockers in the school. B. Disabling the Internet access in the school. C. Requiring students to hand in phones on campus. D. Restricting students from taking phones to school. 34. Which adjective can best describe the new guidance? A. Well-grounded. B. Cost-effective. C. Energy-consuming. D. Ground-breaking. 35. What is mainly talked about in the text? A. Mobile phones use meets with opposition in British schools. B. A new guidance of mobile phones in schools has come into effect. C. British education has made great achievements in the past few years. D. The British government rises to the challenges posed by parents actively. 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。 Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but finally not doing so well?

Diagnosed with autism(自闭症), he often felt most comfortable in the quiet predictability of his own routines. Every Wednesday, however, a special event broke the stillness—— the arrival of the big green bin lorry(垃圾车) on his Greenock street. From behind the safety of the glass, Jaxx would watch, utterly attracted. He knew the two binmen, Brian and David, by the sound of their laughter and the rhythm of their work. A secret wish grew in his heart— to walk up close to the big green lorry one day, and perhaps even climb aboard like a real binman and take a turn at the wheel. Yet for now, he would simply press his palm against the cool window as they passed, a silent observer of their world. His mother noticed his quiet fascination. One particularly wet Wednesday, seeing the men working in the rain, she had an idea. “What if we made something warm for them, Jaxx?” she suggested gently. “Something to thank them for working in the rain for us.” The idea sparked a light in Jaxx’s eyes. As the next Wednesday approached, a new routine was born. In the warmth of their kitchen, Jaxx and his mother prepared simple treats — hot rolls and packets of biscuits. The carefully wrapped little gifts were waiting on the kitchen table when the bin lorry’s familiar noise sounded in the street. 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。 With his mom’s encouragement, Jaxx walked outside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing their story, the local depot(环卫站) manager invited Jaxx for a visit. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区）、老校（文化街校区） 2025-2026学年高一上期01月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

What percentage of people keep their health-related New Year’s resolutions after the first month? A. 10%. B. 20%. C. 30%. 18. Why do most people give up their initial resolutions? A. They set unrealistic fitness goals. B. They ignore the importance of motivation. C. They lack energy or devotion. 19. What is the key secret to achieving fitness goals? A. Sticking to an organized program. B. Applying natural talent to daily exercise. C. Studying training methods of great athletes. 20. What is the topic of the talk? A. Making New Year’s resolutions. B. Maintaining an exercise program. C. Preventing heart disease and cancer. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】M: If you dream of a newer and fitter you, starting this January. I have some bad news: 70% of health-related New Years resolutions are given up in the first week. By the end of the month, 90% of us have got the chocolate cake back in the cupboard and the pizzas in the freezer, while the new gym membership card is gathering dust. This may not seem a very inspiring start on motivation, but we need to learn what has gone wrong, so that this time we can do it differently, with the help of science. I guess most of us have started something with good intentions, only to fail at a later stage through shortage of something, such as energy or commitment. So, what’s the secret? Exercise devotion, which means making an organized program and keep up with it, applies to everyone, from great athletes who need the extra drive that turns a natural talent into an Olympic gold, to the overweight who need to do something to protect themselves against heart disease and cancer. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes, struggling to get to the gym three times a week, is you. This involves setting realistic goals, scheduling workouts, tracking progress, and adjusting the program as needed. You can do it. All you need is a bit of moral support and some good old-fashioned determination. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A International Sports Camps With over 50 years of combined experience in providing great sports coaching for children, International Sports Camps gives young players the chance to take their game to the next level.

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, “I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 24. What did the author think of photography as a teenager? A. Encouraging and practical. B. Thrilling and rewarding. C. Difficult yet interesting. D. Tiring yet delightful. 25. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A. He was busy with his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow. C. He experienced increasing pressure. D. He attempted to behave like an adult. 26. What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A. Better skills of observation. B. New journeys in the wild. C. Different styles of photography. D More enjoyment in the daily routine. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Admiring Beauty Behind the Lens B. Rediscovering Lost Childhood Memories. C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera. D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代摄影爱好重新获得快乐的故事。 24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.(那时我拍了很多照片，喜欢每次冲洗胶卷后都能得到彩色照片，这些照片冻结了珍贵的瞬间，温和地鼓励着我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，对于作者小时候拍照这件事，作者觉得这是令人兴奋且值得的。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner.(这些年来不断增长的压力已经把相机从我的枕头边推到了角落的盒子里。)”可知，作者停止拍照是因为他承受着越来越大的压力。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.(对我而言，这个房间代表着我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接那个被我搁置的年轻自我，通过在我的生活中为快乐腾出空间，通过创造一个充满乐趣的机会的环境。)”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文及最后一段“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.(对我而言，这个房间代表着我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接那个被我搁置的年轻自我，通过在我的生活中为快乐腾出空间，通过创造一个充满乐趣的机会的环境。)”可知，文章讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影这种兴趣爱好而收获快乐的故事。故D项“通过摄影重新获得乐趣”作为标题最为合适。故选D。 C The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked (解开) years ago — by McDonald's. According to a new study from Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards — like the toys in McDonald's Happy Meals — stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does. The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item. They found that the majority (大多数) of both kids and adults preferred a half-sized portion (份) when combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same. Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a real gift in persuading (说服) people to eat less. “The fact that participants were willing to exchange part of a food item for the mere likelihood of a relatively small monetary award is interesting,” says Reimann. He theorizes that it is the emotional component (成分) of these intangible (无形的) prizes that make them effective. In fact, less clearly stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with fixed odds (概率) included. “One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally stimulating than certainty awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope — a state that is in itself psychologically (心理学上) rewarding.” In other words, there's a reason why people like to gamble (赌博). How might this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily? One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa (温泉疗养) weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant — and make you eat a little less. 28. McDonald's inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals ________. A. has been a secret for many years B. offers a way to lose weight C. is the key to McDonald's success D. stimulates kids to eat more 29. What did Martin Reimann's experiments find out? A. Eating less may happen even if the award is intangible. B. The majority of people prefer a half-sized portion of food. C. People tend to ask for a prize if they are given a small meal. D. Healthy eating habits can be built by choosing smaller meals. 30. What may be the main factor that leads to the phenomenon (现象) in the experiment? A. The certainty to win. B. The need for money. C. The health knowledge. D. The gambling thrill. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More restaurants are likely to follow McDonald's example. B. People should eat less if they wish to stay healthy and happy. C. We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business. D. More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion while eating. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了康奈尔大学食品与品牌实验室的一项新研究，发现非食品奖励（如麦当劳开心乐园餐中的玩具）能够刺激大脑的奖励中枢，从而帮助人们减少食量。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked (解开) years ago — by McDonald's. According to a new study from Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards — like the toys in McDonald's Happy Meals — stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does. (少吃并乐在其中的秘诀可能在几年前就被麦当劳破解了。根据康奈尔大学食品和品牌实验室的一项新研究，小的非食物奖励——比如麦当劳开心乐园餐中的玩具——会像食物一样刺激大脑中的奖励中心)” 可知，麦当劳开心乐园餐中的玩具能够刺激大脑的奖励中枢，从而使人们在减少食量的同时仍然感到满足，这提供了一种减肥的途径。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a real gift in persuading (说服) people to eat less. (更有趣的是，对未来奖励的承诺足以让成年人选择较小的那部分。其中一个奖品是一张彩票，有10美元、50美元或100美元的奖金，这和真正的礼物一样有效地说服人们少吃)” 可知，即使奖励是无形的（如彩票），也能让人们选择更少的食物。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope — a state that is in itself psychologically (心理学上) rewarding.” In other words, there's a reason why people like to gamble (赌博). (“获胜的不确定性带来了更多的吸引力和吸引力，因为它能带来情感上的‘刺激’。获得奖项的可能性也会让人产生一种希望的感觉——这种感觉本身就是一种心理上的愉悦体验。”换句话说，这就是为什么人们喜欢赌博的原因)”可推知，实验中现象的主要因素与赌博带来的刺激感有关。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That would get you back in the restaurant — and make you eat a little less. (这会让你回到餐厅——让你吃得少一点)”可推知，通过提供奖励，既可以吸引顾客再次光顾餐厅，又能帮助他们减少食量，从而在帮助餐厅生意的同时引导人们少吃。故选C项。 D Mobile phones are set to be prohibited in schools across England as part of the government’s plan to minimize disturbance and improve behavior in classrooms. New mobile phones in schools guidance issued today backs headteachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times. Many schools around the country are already prohibiting mobile phone use with great results. This guidance will ensure there is a uniform approach across all schools. By the age of 12, 97% of children have their own mobile phone, according to Ofcom. Too much time spent on mobile phones in schools can lead to online bullying, distraction and classroom disturbance which, in turn, can lead to lost learning time. Last year, UNESCO called for smartphones to be banned from schools as evidence showed it was linked to reduced educational performance and that too much screen time had a negative impact on children’s well-being. Schools will be supported to prohibit mobile phone use with different approaches including banning phones from the school, handing in phones on arrival at school, and keeping phones securely locked away at school. The guidance will respond to concerns from parents about mobile phones, with the latest data from Parent Kind’s National Parent Survey, revealing that 44% of parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend on electronic devices, rising to 50% of parents of secondary school children. “We are making long-term decisions to ensure all pupils have world class education. This guidance builds on that work which has delivered 89% of schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from just 68% in 2010. Our plan is working with school standards rising across the board. England has leveled up the international rankings for academic attainment through our multimillion-pound Maths and English program. We are now one of the top performing countries in the Western world for Maths and reading. The government will continue to build on this progress by delivering crucial reforms including by creating the Advanced British Standard.” Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said. 32. What does the underline word “uniform” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Consistent. B. Critical. C. Contradictory. D. Conventional. 33. Which of the following approach is NOT backed by the new guidance? A. Introducing phone lockers in the school. B. Disabling the Internet access in the school. C. Requiring students to hand in phones on campus. D. Restricting students from taking phones to school. 34. Which adjective can best describe the new guidance? A. Well-grounded. B. Cost-effective. C. Energy-consuming. D. Ground-breaking. 35. What is mainly talked about in the text? A. Mobile phones use meets with opposition in British schools. B. A new guidance of mobile phones in schools has come into effect. C. British education has made great achievements in the past few years. D. The British government rises to the challenges posed by parents actively. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是英国各地的许多学校已经禁止使用手机，并取得了很大的成效。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Many schools around the country are already prohibiting mobile phone use with great results.(全国各地的许多学校已经禁止使用手机，并取得了很大的成效。)”可知，全国各地的许多学校已经禁止使用手机，且取得很大成效，结合划线单词中的“This guidance will ensure”和“approach across all schools”可知，此处表示该指导方针确保所有学校使用“统一的”方法，所以划线单词的意思与A项“Consistent.统一的”意义相近。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Schools will be supported to prohibit mobile phone use with different approaches including banning phones from the school, handing in phones on arrival at school, and keeping phones securely locked away at school.(学校将通过禁止手机进入学校、在到达学校时上交手机、将手机安全地锁在学校等不同的方法来禁止使用手机。)”可知，新指导要求学生禁止带手机进学校、到校上交手机以及将手机安全地锁在学校，并未提到禁止在学校上网。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“We are making long-term decisions to ensure all pupils have world class education. This guidance builds on that work which has delivered 89% of schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from just 68% in 2010.(我们正在做出长期决定，以确保所有学生都能接受世界一流的教育。这项指导是建立在这项工作的基础上的，这项工作使被教育标准局评为优秀的学校从2010年的68%上升到89%。)”可知，这项指导是建立在这项工作的基础上的，这项工作使被教育标准局评为优秀的学校从2010年的68%上升到89%，由此可知，这项新指导是有充分理由的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Mobile phones are set to be prohibited in schools across England as part of the government’s plan to minimize disturbance and improve behavior in classrooms. New mobile phones in schools guidance issued today backs headteachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times.(作为英国政府减少干扰和改善课堂行为计划的一部分，英国各地的学校将禁止使用手机。今天发布的学校新手机指导意见支持校长禁止在学校全天使用手机，包括在休息时间。)”以及下文介绍的制定该项指导的原因以及取得的成效可知，本文主要介绍的是一项关于在学校使用手机的新规定已经生效。故选B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。 Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but finally not doing so well?

Diagnosed with autism(自闭症), he often felt most comfortable in the quiet predictability of his own routines. Every Wednesday, however, a special event broke the stillness—— the arrival of the big green bin lorry(垃圾车) on his Greenock street. From behind the safety of the glass, Jaxx would watch, utterly attracted. He knew the two binmen, Brian and David, by the sound of their laughter and the rhythm of their work. A secret wish grew in his heart— to walk up close to the big green lorry one day, and perhaps even climb aboard like a real binman and take a turn at the wheel. Yet for now, he would simply press his palm against the cool window as they passed, a silent observer of their world. His mother noticed his quiet fascination. One particularly wet Wednesday, seeing the men working in the rain, she had an idea. “What if we made something warm for them, Jaxx?” she suggested gently. “Something to thank them for working in the rain for us.” The idea sparked a light in Jaxx’s eyes. As the next Wednesday approached, a new routine was born. In the warmth of their kitchen, Jaxx and his mother prepared simple treats — hot rolls and packets of biscuits. The carefully wrapped little gifts were waiting on the kitchen table when the bin lorry’s familiar noise sounded in the street. 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。 With his mom’s encouragement, Jaxx walked outside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing their story, the local depot(环卫站) manager invited Jaxx for a visit. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With his mom’s encouragement, Jaxx walked outside. Clutching the wrapped treats tightly, he took small, tentative steps toward the green lorry. Brian and David paused their work, smiling warmly when they saw him. “These are for you,” Jaxx mumbled softly, handing over the gifts. The binmen’s eyes lit up—they thanked him repeatedly, patting his shoulder gently. When Jaxx shyly mentioned his wish to see the lorry up close, David opened the door and helped him climb aboard. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Jaxx’s face broke into a bright grin as he touched the steering wheel, his hands trembling slightly with joy. Hearing their story, the local depot (环卫站) manager invited Jaxx for a visit. On the appointed day, Jaxx arrived with his mom, eyes wide with excitement. The manager showed him around: he got to operate the lorry’s lifting mechanism, wear a real binman’s uniform, and even meet the whole team. Everyone greeted him warmly, and Brian and David gave him a small model lorry as a gift. Jaxx, once a quiet observer behind the window, laughed and chatted with the workers, his shyness fading away. This special visit not only fulfilled his dream but also let him feel the warmth of friendship, making the world outside his window a little less intimidating. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述自闭症男孩贾克斯・罗伯逊痴迷每周三到访的绿色垃圾车及工作人员布莱恩和大卫，心中渴望近距离接触。母亲察觉后，提议在雨天为他们准备热食致谢，贾克斯十分赞同，母子俩就此开启了周三准备暖心小礼物的新日常。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈的鼓励下，贾克斯走出家门。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：妈妈鼓励贾克斯给环卫工送礼物，对方致谢并满足他登车触摸方向盘的愿望。 ②由第二段首句内容“听闻他们的故事后，当地环卫站经理邀请贾克斯前来参观。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：环卫站经理邀贾克斯参观，他体验相关操作、获赠模型，梦想成真且收获友谊。 2.续写线索：贾克斯给环卫工送礼物——环卫工致谢——满足贾克斯愿望——环卫站经理邀贾克斯参观——梦想成真——收获友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see/catch sight of/spot ②.某人(因惊喜)睁大双眼：one's eyes light up/one's eyes open wide ③.颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①.高兴：joy/happiness/delight ②.害羞地：shyly/timidly  【点睛】[高分句型1].
