This program is open to students aged 15 to 18. Tasks Participants will clean public areas, such as picking up litter in the neighborhood park, sweeping sidewalks, and cutting overgrown grass around community facilities. In addition, they will assist with small maintenance work, like repainting benches (长椅) fixing loose fence boards, and cleaning public restrooms in the park. They will also help elderly residents with simple household work, such as carrying groceries, watering plants, and sorting daily rubbish — with permission from the seniors in advance. All necessary tools such as gloves, brooms and paintbrushes will be provided by the association. Requirements Participants are required to be responsible and hardworking, with the ability to work in small teams. No special skills are needed, but a willingness to learn and follow instructions is essential. Since the work involves outdoor activities, participants should be in good health and able to stand or walk for a long time. A 30-minute safety coaching will be offered before participants’ first day of work, and failing to attend it will result in the loss of their right to join the program. Benefits All participants will receive a community service certificate after completing the program, which can be used for college applications. Those who finish over 40 hours of labor will receive a $50 store credit at a local bookstore. What’s more, the association will hold a closing event to honor excellent participants, who will be awarded a “Community Service Star” medal and a letter of recommendation from the neighborhood director. 1. What are the participants required to do for the elderly? A. Prepare meals. B. Classify garbage. C. Teach them to learn. D. Repair loose furniture. 2. What can lead to disqualification? A. Lacking necessary skills. B. Failing to work outdoors. C. Missing a pre-job training. D. Having no related experience. 3. What can a participant gain after working over 40 hours for the community? A. A college application. B. An official reference letter. C. An honorable medal. D. A bookstore credit. B Nearly two years ago, a group of fourth-graders at Sabetha Elementary School in Kansas started a conversation about fruit. These students wanted to know why Kansas didn’t have an official fruit, like more than 30 other states do. A fruit is one example of a state symbol — an object that represents a state’s traditions and values. Other state symbols include flags, flowers, and birds. The students decided that Kansas should have its own state fruit. And they were determined to make it happen. “They really worked as a team to achieve this goal,” says their teacher, Jobi Wertenberger. The kids were about to find out what it takes to create a new law. Wertenberger asked state lawmaker Randy Garber to speak to the class. Garber explained all the steps to get a new state symbol. Most importantly, it would require that a new law be passed. Garber explained that the Kansas state legislature (立法机构) normally meets for 90 days each year. He didn’t think they had enough time to get a bill passed. Then, the kids had to wait for the next year. By then, Wertenberger’s students moved up to fifth grade. But he got his new fourth-graders involved too. While researching, the kids learned an attempt two years before to get an official state fruit had failed. Thomas Richardson had an idea. The 11-year-old suggested they get more kids involved. Wertenberger emailed teachers at other schools. Before long, more than 400 fourth and fifth-graders from 24 schools gathered. In January of the following year, Wertenberger’s class sent voting papers to other schools, and after all votes were counted, the sandhill plum (李子) proved to be the clear winner. Then, they drafted a bill naming it the state fruit of Kansas and introduced it into the state legislature. The kids wrote letters to their state representatives and some of them spoke before the legislature. On April 12th of that year, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly signed the bill into law. 4. What made the students discuss fruit? A. The lack of their state symbol. B. The teacher’s after-class assignment. C. The introduction of a new state law. D. The idea of changing traditional values. 5. Why did the students put off presenting their bill to the state legislature? A. To get more students involved. B. To learn more about the failure. C. To leave the legislature more time. D. To clarify the steps to establish a law. 6. What is Thomas Richardson? A. A state representative. B. A state lawmaker. C. A school teacher. D. A local student. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Many hands make light work. B. Ups and downs make one strong. C. Curious minds never feel contented. D. Success knocks at your door only once. C Scientists have made a surprising discovery about Bogong moths (蛾) — small brown moths in southeast Australia. Each spring, billions of these insects take an incredible trip, flying over 1,000 kilometers to reach caves (洞穴) in the Australian Alps. The moths make this trip to get away from the heat. When they reach the cooler temperatures of the mountains, they gather on the cave walls and sleep for months. In the fall, the moths fly all the way back. But scientists have long wondered: How do the young moths, who have never traveled, know where to fly to? Eric Warrant, a Swedish scientist, says, “It’s totally amazing.” Previous studies showed the moths used the Earth’s magnetic (磁) field to guide them, but scientists wondered if they also use stars. Deep in Australia’s countryside — far from human lights — the stars shine brightly. To test these ideas, Warrant and his team caught about 400 moths. They tested each moth in a specially designed flying space. Inside this space, the moths were attached in a way that allowed them to move their wings and fly any way they wanted, but not leave the area. To make sure the moths weren’t being guided by the Earth’s magnetic field, the researchers blocked the field using a special electronic device. The scientists then projected images of the starry night sky on the top of the flying space. Sure enough, the moths flew in the correct direction. When the researchers turned the image, the moths also turned so that they were still lined up correctly under the stars. Then the researchers mixed up the stars on the top of the space so that they no longer represented a real night sky. The moths became perplexed. They didn’t know which way to fly all at once. This showed the moths were using the stars as a guide. The moths’ small eyes can probably only see very bright stars, so it’s likely they use them as a guide. On cloudy days, they use their backup — Earth’s magnetic field. 8. Which season do Bogong moths fly to the Alps to avoid? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 9. What gave the scientists inspiration about doing the experiment? A. The stars in the night sky. B. The Earth’s magnetic field. C. The countryside human lights. D. The living place of these moths. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss? A. The process of the experiment. B. The power of the magnetic field. C. The basic theory of the experiment. D. The guiding abilities of the moths. 11. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in the last paragraph mean? A. Interested. B. Encouraged. C. Frightened. D. Confused. D Soon after he was born, doctors knew that KJ Muldoon was struggling. Tests showed that KJ’s DNA had a mistake which made it hard for his body to clear out a dangerous chemical called ammonia. Too much ammonia can damage the brain and other organs seriously. When the human body digests proteins (蛋白质), it creates ammonia. In a healthy person, the liver (肝脏) helps get rid of this ammonia. But because of the problem with his genes, KJ’s liver couldn’t remove ammonia. Doctors at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) asked KJ’s parents if they wanted to try a brand-new method — a special medicine made just for KJ. His parents said yes. Scientists at Penn Medicine had been working on creating medicines to fix a single patient’s genes. Now they had a chance to try it. But the pressure was on, as there was little time to help KJ. The researchers studied KJ’s DNA. The problem was like fixing one misspelled letter in a word that’s three billion letters long. With many scientists working long hours, soon they developed a CRISPR tool to edit KJ’s DNA. Next, they tested the new medicine on mice and monkeys. The results were positive. After just six months, the new medicine was approved. KJ was six months old when he got the first dose of the new medicine, designed to reach his liver and make one tiny change to his DNA. Soon after the first treatment, his body’s levels of ammonia were controlled. The positive results led his doctors to give KJ two more doses. KJ has gained weight and is now much healthier. Soon, the hospital expects him to go home for the first time in his life. KJ isn’t completely cured. He may need to keep taking medicine. As Dr. Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, an assistant professor at CHOP, says, “We have made real progress and right now the signs are promising. But we’re still in early days right now.” 12. What do we know about ammonia? A. It mainly digests human proteins. B. The genes remove it automatically. C. It changes a healthy person’s DNA. D. The liver acts as its natural enemy. 13. Why does the author mention a word that’s three billion letters long? A. To praise the scientists’ efforts. B. To show the medicine’s effect. C. To emphasize the task’s challenge. D. To explain the gene editing process. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the result of the brand-new method? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Concerned. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. CRISPR’s Application in Medicine B. A Personalized Gene Editing Success C. A Medical Breakthrough for Humans D. The Battle Against a Genetic Disease 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。 Bruce and Margaret Anschau have four children of their own, but they made a special commitment: for each of their own children, they would also sponsor (资助) a child in need. “No matter the financial difficulties, my parents have always been committed to doing our part to help others,” said their daughter Heather Foord. ____16____ They specifically chose children from poor areas, hoping to give them a fair chance to grow up healthy and receive a good education.

They were decorated with colorful paper flowers, and she had spent three weekends making them. The school would hold a charity sale to help poor students in the countryside, and Willa wanted to sell these bookmarks to raise money. Her deskmate Gavin, who ran the sale’s book corner, had promised to help her find a good spot. She wanted Gavin to check the bookmarks first. Early that morning, Willa put the bookmarks into the box and took it to the classroom. Gavin’s eyes lit up at the beautifully decorated bookmarks, and he praised them as unique and lovely. Willa’s confidence grew; she imagined the bookmarks selling well, allowing her to raise more money. She carefully put the box back into her schoolbag, then went to the library to borrow a few books and stuffed them into the bag too. The library was crowded, so she hurried out. Her bag was so full that the bookmark box slipped out and fell to the ground, but she didn’t notice at all. The next day, Willa rushed to the playground where the charity sale would be held. But when she opened her schoolbag, her face turned pale — the box of bookmarks was gone. She emptied her bag in a hurry: textbooks, notebooks, a water bottle fell out, but no box. She hurried to the classroom and searched everywhere around her seat, but the box was nowhere to be found. At that moment, Gavin came over to ask, “What’s wrong?” “My bookmarks... they’re gone,” Willa whispered. She had worked so hard on them, and now she couldn’t help the poor students. The charity sale had already started, and other students were busy selling their items. Willa stood there, feeling helpless and sad. Gavin asked her where else she had been before leaving school the previous day, and she said she also went to the library. Gavin suggested that she go there to ask. 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。 Willa followed Gavin’s advice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Willa took the bookmarks to the charity sale quickly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二年级1月份自测 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 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 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

At first, I was too nervous to speak in public. However, my English teacher encouraged me to try. Then, every evening, I read my speech aloud, and corrected my pronunciation. On the contest day, I took a deep breath and spoke bravely. Though I didn’t win first place, I got warm cheers from the class. This experience teaches me that growth needs courage to face fears. It also shows me that not giving up leads to progress. Every small step helps us become better on our unique journey. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: Willa followed Gavin’s advice. She rushed to the school library, her heart beating fast with nervousness and hope. As soon as she saw the librarian, she asked anxiously if a small box had been found. The librarian nodded and said, “A student found it and turned it in to me. I’m just about to hand it in to the school lost and found office.” Then, she took out the box from the counter. Willa recognized it right away. Touching the undamaged bookmarks, she thanked the librarian repeatedly. Willa took the bookmarks to the charity sale quickly. Gavin had already kept a good position for her near the book corner. While she laid out the colorful bookmarks, Gavin helped attract nearby students. “These bookmarks are all made by myself; every act of buying helps those in need!” Willa said gently. Soon, many students came to buy, and the bookmarks were sold out quickly. Looking at the money in the donation box, Willa felt warm in her heart, glad that she could finally realize her wish of helping others. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
