At first, both of them froze, sniffing the air carefully. Then, the adult squirrel’s ears moved, and she let out a soft sound—a sound I’d never heard from my little one before. To my surprise, the baby squirrel responded instantly, moving toward the cage with great energy. The vet’s eyes widened. “This might actually be his mother,” she said. My throat tightened as I watched them touch gently through the bars. It seemed impossible, yet here they were: two lost souls reunited by luck in the middle of a hospital room. It warmed my heart to see my baby squirrel reunite with his mother! Over the next week, the mother squirrel recovered under the vet’s care, and my baby squirrel stayed by his mother’s side the whole time. By the time she was strong enough to leave, the bond between them was undeniable, and I knew it was time to let them go. On release day, I carried their cage to a quiet park. As I opened the door, the pair hesitated for a moment before disappearing into the trees together. Standing there alone, I smiled through tears. Although my scarf was empty, I knew we would always have each other. 补充内容： 第一段续写重难点突破：小家伙凑上前，透过笼子的缝隙不停地嗅探着。他发出细弱又尖细的鸣叫，像在轻轻哼唧、撒娇一般。那只成年松鼠立刻回应了一串轻柔的、微微发颤的叫声——那是只属于它们之间的秘密语言。母松鼠僵在原地不动，挣扎着想站起来却因为疼痛作罢。随后，她颤巍巍地伸出爪子，轻轻碰了碰幼崽的脑袋，仿佛在问：“真的是你吗？”我和兽医惊得目瞪口呆，半晌才回过神来。兽医连忙打开笼门，小松鼠立刻钻进妈妈怀里蜷缩起来。母松鼠低下头，温柔地舔舐着他的绒毛，一下，又一下，仿佛要把所有的思念、担忧与失而复得的庆幸，都融进这轻柔的触碰里。(嗅，鸣叫，舔，动作，神态。) The baby moved forward eagerly, tiny nose sniffing nonstop through the cage gaps, as if catching that familiar scent. He let out a thin, high-pitched chirp—soft, playful, a plea for response. The adult squirrel answered with gentle, trembling cries, their secret language. She froze, trying to stand but slumping helplessly from wound pain. Then she stretched a shaky paw, touching his head as if asking silently, “Is it really you?” The vet and I stared, wide-eyed in stunned silence. The vet opened the cage; the baby rushed into her arms, curling up tight. She licked his fur tenderly, once, then again, pouring all her longing, worry and gratitude into each soft touch. 第二段可能的升华方向： 1. This tiny, fragile connection between a human, a baby squirrel, and its mother taught me that kindness isn’t just a choice—it’s the thread that weaves all living beings closer, even across species. 2. Nature’s quiet connections often hide in unexpected moments: a rescued squirrel, a chance meeting, and a love that bridges the gap between human care and wild bonds. 3. It wasn’t just a reunion between a mother and her baby—it was a quiet proof that when we choose to care, we become part of the delicate, beautiful web of harmony. 听力文本： Text1: 【原文】W: The concert starts at three. Shall I meet you there at about ten to three? M: Well, I don’t like the first band, so I’m not planning to get there until four. W: OK. I’ll see you then near the entrance. Text2: 【原文】M: Don’t you love shopping here? W: I sure do. The farmers’ fruits and vegetables are always so fresh. M: It’s nice to be outside with these green plants. Text3: 【原文】W: I hear you’re going back to study for a while next year. M: That’s right. It’s a full-time course in marketing. My company is going to pay half the fees. W: I’m surprised you didn’t decide to do something part-time. M: I’d rather concentrate on the course, to be honest. Text4: 原文】M: Was your roof all right after the storm? I saw a workman there today. W: That wasn’t a problem. The workman was putting some new glass in an upstairs window. It was broken by a tree branch. Luckily it didn’t damage my car. Text5: 【原文】M: I’m glad we’re safe. W: Yeah, it was terrifying. The road was so narrow as we went up and everyone seemed to be driving so fast as we came down. I’m surprised there were no accidents. Text6: 【原文】W: Now that we’ve put the tent up, let’s make something to drink. I’ll get the cups. They’re in the plastic bag in the back of the car, aren’t they? M: No, that’s got the new frying pan in it. You’ve packed the cups in the box with the plates. W: Ah yes, that’s right. Here they are. But I can’t see the plastic bag anywhere. M: Oh dear, we’ve left it behind, so we can’t cook anything. Well, we can still have a cup of tea. Text7: 【原文】W: Have you heard about the dance competition my class is going in for, Uncle Sam? M: Yes, your mom said you were really excited about it. Aren’t you just a bit nervous about dancing in front of so many people, though? W: No. There will be lots of really good dancers. Our teacher says we’ll learn lots just by watching them on stage. M: I expect you’ll make some good new friends there. W: Mm. That’s what I’m looking forward to most of all. Text8:【原文】W: You look so happy! What’s up? M: I can’t believe it! Guess who I met at the shopping center today? W: Who? M: Pamela Anderson, the star of Baywatch. She was promoting her new film Superhero. W: Oh, really? M: Yes, I bought a picture of her. And she signed it for me. W: How I envy you! I like her very much. So did you get anything else for going? Sometimes they hand out free posters or magazines to the fans. M: Actually, I got a poster signed for you. I know how you admire the rich and the famous! W: That’s really nice of you. Thank you, Steven. Are you a big fan of Pamela? M: Not really. Her acting skills aren’t that great. I think people just like her for her looks. W: So what was your impression of her when you met her in person? M: Well, I think she actually seemed a bit older than on the screen. Text9: 【原文】M: Thanks for making time to talk to us, Kirsty. Perhaps you should start by telling us about a typical day’s training. W: Sure. I get up at around eight and pack my bag. Then I drive to the sports village at 9:30. I spend an hour at the training center doing shooting practice. Then I go swimming. It’s only a short walk to the pool. At midday I have lunch and discuss my progress with my coaches. But I can’t spend too much time with them because I go riding at half past one. The riding school is about half an hour away. M: Can you relax a bit after that? W: Not exactly — I put on my shorts and running shoes for a gentle run around the track with some of the other athletes. Afterwards I go home for a meal and a short rest. M: How do you spend your evenings? W: At 6:30 I come back to the sports center and play football for an hour. My day finishes after I’ve done some exercise in the gym. At 9:00 p.m. I can go home and have a rest. M: Well... Text10: 【原文】M: I’m quite often asked how I became a dress designer. For me, it was something I always wanted to do. However, because my mother was a university teacher and my father a doctor, they found it hard to accept that designing clothes could be a serious job. Anyway, they said I had to do a year’s business course first after high school. I didn’t like it at the time, but later, it made a big difference to me. And the other thing I did during that year was to get a part-time job in the office of a small factory making good quality clothes. Then I did two years at the local art college. I wanted to go to London straight away, but my parents insisted. So I stayed at home until I won a prize for a design which actually gave me a place at a London college for nine months. I went on to spend three wonderful years in Milan. Then I got the job in New York for a year, which was really exciting, but unbelievably stressful. I think it is probably because I was too far away from my family and missed them very much. So, I ended up in London, starting my own company. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。The concert starts at three.

People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures. Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place after a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong. Minoan Bull-Leaping The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes. Mesopotamian Wrestling Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭) In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order. Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community. 21. What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common? A. They followed strict ceremonies. B. They were created to honor kings. C. They were physically demanding. D. They included fighting against animals. 22. What is special about ancient Chinese archery? A. It had flexible rules. B. It helped build character. C. It encouraged self-expression. D. It served as public entertainment. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To stress the importance of sports. B. To inform readers of modern sports. C. To discuss the possible origins of sports. D. To show some ancient sports and their cultural value. B I’m an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall and good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took another twist. Searching the Internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, then an idea suddenly hit me — if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer — she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it. 24. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway? A. Social discrimination. B. Her appearance. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 25. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus? A. Shocked and ashamed. B. Confused and terrified. C. Blessed and proud. D. Amazed and relieved. 26. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Celebrities can’t live with their flaws. C. Stuttering is no barrier to success. D. Wisdom counts more than hard work. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Love and acceptance is the ultimate gift. B. Comparison is the thief of joy. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Pride comes before a fall. C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly brewed coffee in hand, only to find your cared-for plants and herbs wilted (枯萎的) and dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their fickle ficus (榕树) would just tell them what it needs. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real-world. Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. The technical components of the garden are the product of a partnership between AIstart-up Avande and Microsoft. The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming. In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners. Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown, simply trusting an AI to tell you whether a plant or fungi of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results. 28. What will AI be used to do in gardening according to the text? A. Look after the plants in place of gardeners. B. Help the gardeners interact with the plants. C. Improve the condition of soil in the garden. D. Design the environmentally-friendly gardens. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the intelligent garden works. B. Why the intelligent garden is popular. C. How the intelligent garden was invented. D. What advantages the intelligent garden has. 30. What does the underlined word insights mean in paragraph 4? A. Experience. B. Data. C. Methods. D. Tests. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s use in gardening? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Objective. D. Negative. D A new study has revealed the vast majority of Australians worry about what might happen to the Great Barrier Reef, the country’s largest natural wonder. Environmental groups warn authorities that bold action is needed now to secure its future. The report, commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF), shows that the Reef is still one of the world’s most valuable biological communities, but its survival cannot be guaranteed without major financial support and strong climate action. The Reef brings about 9 billion Australian dollars to the economy each year and supports around 77,000 jobs. Economists estimate that, with urgent climate efforts, it could bring another 124 billion dollars in benefits over the next 50 years. But without action, experts warn, it may not survive at all. Public support for saving the Reef is also strong. A national survey found that 98% of Australians believe losing the Reef would be a “national tragedy,” and nearly three-quarters see it as “irreplaceable.” Nine in ten are worried about climate change, and 78% say protecting the Reef for future generations is very important. “The Reef is too precious to lose,” said GBRF director Anna Marsden, adding that saving it is vital not just for the environment, but also for the millions of people who depend on it. Scientists report that the Reef has suffered record coral losses in recent years due to warming seas and pollution. Since 2016, five mass bleaching (白化) events have damaged large parts of the Reef, including two in 2024 and 2025. Run-off from farms continues to reduce water quality, making recovery harder. To save the Reef, the Australian and Queensland governments have launched the “Reef 2050 Plan,” a long-term program to improve water quality and expand protected areas. However, debate continues after Queensland decided to extend coal use beyond 2050. Supporters say the plan is practical, while others warn that continued fossil fuel use puts the Reef’s future at serious risk. 32. What does the GBRF report mainly warn about? A. The Great Barrier Reef brings less money each year. B. The Great Barrier Reef is losing its global importance. C. The Great Barrier Reef’s survival needs urgent action. D. The Great Barrier Reef will be replaced by new tourist attractions. 33. What is one major threat to the Great Barrier Reef? A. Overfishing. B. Sea warming. C. Tourism growth. D. Invasive species. 34. Why is the Queensland Government criticized? A. It wants to use coal for longer. B. It plans to close the Reef to tourists. C. It ignores the Reef’s economic value. D. It has refused to support the “Reef 2050 Plan”. 35. What is the best title for this text? A. A Natural Wonder in Danger B. The Future of Coral Farming C. How Tourism Shapes Australia D. Climate Change and Its Harms 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade. But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” 36 In the past, students understood it and they knew ‘A’ required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades. 37 It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. 38 We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. 39 Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too. Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that ‘A’ is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. 40 A. Teachers are to blame. B. It is to ask how to improve. C. This isn’t Generation Z’s fault. D. ‘B’ may not fully reflect your dedication. E. It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire. F. High marks are for excellence, not perseverance. G. But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共四节，满分35分） 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Josiah Jackson has played piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

Just as soon as the tiny creature started exploring his surroundings, I saw him trying to eat a dead leaf. Obviously, he was hungry, so I told him, “Stay right here, and I’ll be RIGHT back.” When I returned, the spot was completely empty—no squirrel in sight. But as I spread some sunflower seeds, the baby squirrel reappeared. More amazingly, after enjoying the seeds, he tried to get into my bag and nestled in my scarf. “Is he expecting me to take him home? Where is his mother?” I thought. After several hours of observation by the roadside, I confirmed that this baby squirrel was indeed alone, with no family members around. Finally, I took him home. I spent the next two days basically acting as his mother, helping him eat, drink, and sleep. Despite my best efforts, this baby squirrel still nearly choked to death on a bite of banana. When I saw the poor squirrel barely clinging to life, my heart almost stopped. In a panic, I rushed to the nearest animal hospital. I was worried all the way, positioning him upside down as I’d seen in pet first-aid videos, but he still showed no reaction. As we arrived at the hospital, the vet (兽医) quickly cleared his throat with a professional thin tube. “Tiny patients crash fast! Fortunately, he is saved!” When I heard her words, my anxious heart finally settled. After a short break, I felt it okay to take him home. As we walked out of the room, something suddenly caught my squirrel’s attention. Before I could react, he slipped from my scarf, with his eyes fixed on something across the room. There, in a cage, lay an injured adult squirrel. The vet told me that the adult squirrel had been hit by a car and was receiving treatment. Seeing my baby squirrel staring at the adult one carefully, I asked if they might be related. The vet thought it unlikely, but out of curiosity, we decided to find out. 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。 I carefully placed the baby squirrel near the injured adult’s cage._____________ It warmed my heart to see my baby squirrel reunite with his mother! ______________ 西安中学 高二年级 英语试题 第 10 页 共 11 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
