But Cape Town is perhaps most popular for “mountain” known as Africa’s adventure playground. Sitting in the heart of a vast ecosystem of beautiful plants and animals, Table Mountain features a 3-km flat top that boasts one of Africa’s most breathtaking views, ideal for amateur (业余的) and experienced photographers alike. For many people, getting to the mountain’s flat top is most of the fun. 1. Cable-way Table Mountain is often covered by special clouds that form when wind blows up the slopes into colder air, causing wet air to freeze into what looks like a “tablecloth.” Legend attributes this phenomenon to a pirate (海盗) called Van Hunks, the Devil and a local tobacco contest between them. On clear days, the lucky tourists can ride a cable car from the base of the mountain to the beautiful flat top. To date, more than 20 million visitors have ridden this 360-degree cable car system. 2. Hiking Numerous hiking paths offer tourists various levels of climbing difficulty up the face of the mountain. A typical climb takes about two and a half hours, but plan for longer depending on weather; which can change very suddenly. Take at least a litre of water with you, and wear strong, comfortable shoes — the paths are characteristically stony and uneven. 3. Caving, Rock Climbing, and Mountain Biking Caving, rock climbing and mountain biking are very popular pastimes on Table Mountain, with well-sandstone caves pointing to steep paths, unusual routes, and adventure for various levels of expertise. Go as a group, or hire a guide to show you the ropes. Whether you’re an experienced climber, an amateur photographer or a first-time traveller, Africa’s Table Mountain is definitely what you’ll want to add to your Facebook friend list. 1. What do we know about the adventure activities on Table Mountain? A. They are designed only for professional adventurers. B. Some activities require guidance for safety or skill mastery. C. Hiking is the most time-consuming activity on the mountain. D. Cable car rides are the only way to enjoy the mountain’s flat top views. 2. What should tourists know when hiking up Table Mountain? A. There are special clouds and strong wind. B. The only hiking path is of a high level of difficulty. C. They need to prepare extra time in case of weather changes. D. They need to hire a guide to show them the stony and uneven way. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Cape Town as Africa’s “Mother City”. B. To compare different tourist attractions in Cape Town. C. To explain the legend of Table Mountain’s “tablecloth”. D To recommend various adventure activities on Table Mountain. B On a Saturday morning, five teenage reporters filed into a busy New York office, red pens in hand, for a two-hour working session. They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year. Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. ‌“We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile. The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls. Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism. Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. ‌“The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently. Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000. 4 The author uses the example of ‌“tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______. A. highlight Billy’s organizational skills B. criticize inefficient editing processes C. compare teenage and adult work habits D. explain the newspaper’s digital transition 5. Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage? A. Impractical. B. Ambitious. C. Cautious. D. Stubborn. 6. What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly? A. Parental financial support for printing costs. B. Digital expansion over print distribution. C. Complete independence and community impact. D. Maximizing profits for personal gain. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The decline of traditional print media in New York. B. Challenges faced by young businessmen in media. C. The history of student-run newspapers in the United States. D. Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. C With a maximum life of more than 200 years the bowhead whale lives longer than other animals. But how they survive so long has never been fully explained. Now scientists have found clues of an answer and plan to see whether the same biological trick can be performed in humans. All living animals suffer DNA damage throughout their lives. Cells attempt to mend the damage, but the repairs are not always effective. This leads to mutations (变异) building up , which can raise the risk of cancer and drive ageing by weakening cell function. Vera Gorbunova, a biologist, and her colleagues found that bowhead whales were particularly good at repairing a form of DNA damage in which both strands (链) of the DNA double helix (DNA双螺旋) are broken. As a result, the whales have fewer mutations. “What we’re finding is that these kinds of repairs are very important for long life,” she said. Through a series of experiments on whale cells, they showed that DNA repair is enhanced by a protein called CIRBP, which is started by cold exposure. Bowhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and produce 100 times more CIRBP than humans. “This strategy, which does not eliminate (消除) damaged cells but faithfully repairs them, may be contributing to the exceptional long life and low cancer rates in the bowhead whale,” the researchers wrote in Nature. The team went on to explore what happened when they increased levels of CIRBP in human cells. Boosting the protein doubled the efficiency of the repair work that cells do to double-strand breaks. Further experiments on flies (苍蝇) showed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them more resilient to mutations. How big a role DNA repair plays in the bowhead whale’s longer lifetime is unclear. They hope to test whether cold-water swimmers, or those who take cold showers, have raised levels of the protein. 8. What type of DNA damage are bowhead whales particularly good at repairing? A. Single-strand breaks in DNA. B. Damage to a protein called CIRBP. C. Mutations caused by cold exposure. D. Double-strand breaks in the DNA double helix. 9 What can be inferred about the protein CIRBP from the passage? A. Its production is influenced by environmental temperature. B. It is unique to bowhead whales and not found in other species. C. It eliminates damaged cells to prevent cancer in whales. D. It functions more efficiently in human cells than in whale cells. 10. The underlined word “resilient” is similar in meaning to ______. A. sensitive B. sustainable C. resistant D. responsive 11. Which of the following is the best title? A. Do Bowhead Whales Live Longer than Humans? B. Can Bowhead Whales Help Us Live Longer? C. Can CIRBP Repair Stop Us from Dying? D. Does Cold Exposure Increase CIRBP? D Travel isn’t always enjoyable, especially with young children. Airports with endless security lines, never-ending car rides with noisy kids, and public meltdowns (哭闹) in snack shops can easily turn a much-anticipated trip into moments of regret. Yet these challenges are eventually worthwhile — travel transforms our worldview by placing us in someone else’s “normal”. When we encounter foreign street signs, taste unfamiliar cuisines, or hear conversations in unknown languages, we’re vividly reminded that our way of life is just one of the rich human lifestyles. For teenagers, this shift in perspective develops sympathy, tolerance, and intellectual curiosity. They begin questioning cultural norms: Why do people queue differently here? How has this society’s history shaped their daily habits? Even seemingly small challenges — exploring a complex subway system or understanding a menu written in another language — build strong personalities and problem-solving abilities. These experiences teach them to adapt, communicate across differences, and trust their own judgment in unfamiliar situations. Younger children gain simpler but equally greater benefits: patience while waiting in lines, flexibility when plans change unexpectedly, and courage to try new things. A child who helps pack their suitcase, carries their own backpack, or selects a daily activity learns practical responsibility. Shared family moments — whether watching a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain or finding their way back to the hotel together after getting lost — create lasting memories that strengthen emotional bonds. The true value of travel lies not in checking off tourist attractions but in being fully present. Choose one core purpose for your trip — exploring history, connecting with nature, or simply enjoying family time — and build your itinerary (行程) around that. Remember, meaningful travel doesn’t require a plane ticket; day trips to nearby towns, cultural festivals in your city, or even visits to different neighborhoods can offer similar growth. The real journey begins not at a distant destination, but at the edge of your comfort zone. 12. What do teenagers gain from small travel challenges? A. Problem-solving abilities. B. Cooking skills. C. Language fluency. D. Driving skills. 13. What can be inferred about meaningful travel? A. It needs long distance. B. It requires plane tickets. C. It can be local trips. D. It must be expensive. 14. What strengthens family bonds during travel? A. Shared moments. B. Tourist attractions. C. Strict itineraries. D. Expensive gifts. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenges of traveling with young children. B. Why international travel is superior to local exploration. C. The importance of planning detailed itineraries for family trips. D. How travel broadens perspectives and develops personal growth. 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。 I used to believe that ‌“meaningful life” required grand achievements — prizes, promotions, or viral social media posts. ____16____ On a gray Saturday morning, I wandered into the community park, my mind heavy with midterm stress and a sense of unmet expectations. That’s when I noticed them: two elderly men seated on a weathered bench, absorbed in a game of Chinese chess. Their moves were slow but deliberate. Mr. Li, with silver hair and a faded jacket, would stroke his chin for minutes before placing a piece. Across from him, Mr. Wang, leaning on a cane (拐杖), would nod thoughtfully, then respond with a soft ‌“Check.” Neither seemed in a hurry; the game unfolded like a quiet conversation. ____17____ Their focus fixed on the wooden board between them. I sat on a nearby bench, observing. What actually struck me wasn’t their skill, but their presence. ____18____ In a world that glorifies (颂扬) busyness, they reminded me that purpose can be found in the simplest routines. When Mr. Li finally smiled and said, ‌“You win this round,” Mr. Wang laughed, ‌“Tomorrow, I’ll take back my title.” It was then I realized: happiness isn’t about finishing first. ____19____ ____20____ We chase the next big thing while missing the beauty in front of us. The chess players taught me that meaning often hides in the ordinary: a shared laugh, a slow afternoon, a game played not for victory, but for connection. A. Chess requires both strategy and patience to master. B. Yet last month, an ordinary moment taught me otherwise. C. Too often, we measure life by successes rather than moments. D. Social media has made it easier to appreciate real-life interactions. E. They weren’t chasing success — just enjoying the moment together. F. Passersby occasionally stopped to watch, but the men paid no attention. G. It’s about showing up, fully and sincerely, for the people and activities that matter. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’d gone snowboarding in France with my little brother.

For hours, no one had stopped to help her, so when Bryan came near with a smile, she grew nervous, thinking the simply-dressed man might try to hurt her. Seeing her fear, Bryan slowed down and spoke gently, telling her his name and making sure her he meant no harm. Unwillingly, the lady said her car had a flat tire and she had no idea how to repair it. Bryan suggested she wait in his warm car to keep away from the cold while he changed the tire. He got his toolbox and worked quickly, finishing the job in minutes. As he closed the trunk (后备箱) the lady thanked him sincerely, explaining she was from a distant city and just passing through. She then asked how much she should pay for his timely help. Bryan refused the offer with a smile, saying he was only doing what any decent person would do. Instead of taking money, he told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, she should help someone in need the next time she got a chance, and see that small act of kindness as payment for his help. On her way to her destination, the lady saw a small cafe and stopped for a meal before the last part of her journey. After she sat down, a young waitress with a big smile came over, giving her a clean towel to wipe her wet hair made damp by the evening light rain. The lady soon noticed the waitress was heavily pregnant yet still kept busy serving customers with patience. “Why are you still working so hard in the later stage of your pregnancy?” the old lady asked. “This is life,” the waitress sighed (叹气), “my husband and I were in desperate need of money. It will be tough for us financially with the baby coming very soon.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 每段的开头语已经为你写好，不计入词数。 Paragraph 1: The sight made the old lady think of Bryan’s kindness, and she decided to pass it on. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that evening, the waitress told her husband the touching experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二第一学期期末考试试卷 英 语 注意：本试卷分四个部分，答案全部做在答题纸上。总分为150分。考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.

(结伴而行，或者雇一个向导来教你诀窍)”可知，Table Mountain的冒险活动需要向导来指导技巧，以保障安全或掌握技能。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据2. Hiking部分“A typical climb takes about two and a half hours, but plan for longer depending on weather; which can change very suddenly. (攀登一次一般需要两个半小时左右，但要根据天气情况预留更长时间，因为天气可能突变)”可知，游客在徒步攀登时需要准备额外的时间以防天气变化。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sitting in the heart of a vast ecosystem of beautiful plants and animals, Table Mountain features a 3-km flat top that boasts one of Africa’s most breathtaking views, ideal for amateur (业余的) and experienced photographers alike.

They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year. Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. ‌“We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile. The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls. Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism. Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. ‌“The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently. Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000. 4. The author uses the example of ‌“tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______. A. highlight Billy’s organizational skills B. criticize inefficient editing processes C. compare teenage and adult work habits D. explain the newspaper’s digital transition 5. Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage? A. Impractical. B. Ambitious. C. Cautious. D. Stubborn. 6. What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly? A. Parental financial support for printing costs. B. Digital expansion over print distribution. C. Complete independence and community impact. D. Maximizing profits for personal gain. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The decline of traditional print media in New York. B. Challenges faced by young businessmen in media. C. The history of student-run newspapers in the United States. D. Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7.

They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year.(一个周六的早晨，五名青少年记者手持红笔，鱼贯步入繁忙的纽约办公室，开始了为期两小时的工作会议。他们正为《The Ditch Weekly》精心修改稿件——这份季节性报纸完全由13至17岁的青少年撰稿编辑。通过精炼生硬的句子、调整形容词，他们将共同完善本年度的首期报纸)”以及文章后续描述他们如何创办、运营这份独立报纸，并实现盈利和扩大影响可知，文章主要讲述了一群青少年如何创新地创办并独立运营一份实体报纸，展现了年轻一代对新闻业的热情和探索。故D项“Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. (青少年对独立新闻业的创新探索)”能概括文章主旨。故选D项。 C With a maximum life of more than 200 years, the bowhead whale lives longer than other animals. But how they survive so long has never been fully explained. Now scientists have found clues of an answer and plan to see whether the same biological trick can be performed in humans. All living animals suffer DNA damage throughout their lives. Cells attempt to mend the damage, but the repairs are not always effective. This leads to mutations (变异) building up , which can raise the risk of cancer and drive ageing by weakening cell function. Vera Gorbunova, a biologist, and her colleagues found that bowhead whales were particularly good at repairing a form of DNA damage in which both strands (链) of the DNA double helix (DNA双螺旋) are broken. As a result, the whales have fewer mutations. “What we’re finding is that these kinds of repairs are very important for long life,” she said. Through a series of experiments on whale cells, they showed that DNA repair is enhanced by a protein called CIRBP, which is started by cold exposure. Bowhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and produce 100 times more CIRBP than humans. “This strategy, which does not eliminate (消除) damaged cells but faithfully repairs them, may be contributing to the exceptional long life and low cancer rates in the bowhead whale,” the researchers wrote in Nature. The team went on to explore what happened when they increased levels of CIRBP in human cells. Boosting the protein doubled the efficiency of the repair work that cells do to double-strand breaks. Further experiments on flies (苍蝇) showed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them more resilient to mutations. How big a role DNA repair plays in the bowhead whale’s longer lifetime is unclear. They hope to test whether cold-water swimmers, or those who take cold showers, have raised levels of the protein. 8. What type of DNA damage are bowhead whales particularly good at repairing? A. Single-strand breaks in DNA. B. Damage to a protein called CIRBP. C. Mutations caused by cold exposure. D. Double-strand breaks in the DNA double helix. 9. What can be inferred about the protein CIRBP from the passage? A. Its production is influenced by environmental temperature. B. It is unique to bowhead whales and not found in other species. C. It eliminates damaged cells to prevent cancer in whales. D. It functions more efficiently in human cells than in whale cells. 10. The underlined word “resilient” is similar in meaning to ______. A. sensitive B. sustainable C. resistant D. responsive 11. Which of the following is the best title? A. Do Bowhead Whales Live Longer than Humans? B. Can Bowhead Whales Help Us Live Longer? C. Can CIRBP Repair Stop Us from Dying? D. Does Cold Exposure Increase CIRBP? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了弓头鲸寿命可达200多年的原因，科学家发现其擅长修复DNA双链断裂，且一种受低温影响的CIRBP蛋白助力修复，同时探索该机制能否应用于人类延长寿命。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Vera Gorbunova, a biologist, and her colleagues found that bowhead whales were particularly good at repairing a form of DNA damage in which both strands (链) of the DNA double helix (DNA双螺旋) are broken.(生物学家薇拉·戈尔布诺娃和她的同事发现，弓头鲸特别擅长修复一种DNA损伤——DNA双螺旋的两条链都断裂的损伤)”可知，弓头鲸特别擅长修复DNA双螺旋中的双链断裂损伤。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through a series of experiments on whale cells, they showed that DNA repair is enhanced by a protein called CIRBP, which is started by cold exposure. Bowhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and produce 100 times more CIRBP than humans.(通过对鲸鱼细胞的一系列实验，他们发现一种名为CIRBP的蛋白能增强DNA修复能力，这种蛋白是由低温暴露激活的。弓头鲸一生都生活在北极水域，其体内产生的CIRBP是人类的100倍)”可推断，CIRBP蛋白的产生受环境温度影响，低温会激活并促进其产生。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Further experiments on flies (苍蝇) showed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them more resilient to mutations.(对苍蝇的进一步实验表明，额外的CIRBP延长了它们的寿命，并使它们对变异更具resilient)”可知，额外的CIRBP对苍蝇有积极作用，结合“延长寿命”可推测，resilient意为“有抵抗力的”，与resistant意思相近。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“With a maximum life of more than 200 years, the bowhead whale lives longer than other animals. But how they survive so long has never been fully explained. Now scientists have found clues of an answer and plan to see whether the same biological trick can be performed in humans.(弓头鲸的最长寿命超过200 年，比其他动物都长。但它们如何能存活这么久，从未被完全解释过。现在，科学家们找到了答案的线索，并计划研究这种相同的生物学机制是否能在人类身上实现)” 可知，文章开篇就点明核心：弓头鲸长寿的原因未知，科学家找到线索并计划探索其机制能否应用于人类，帮助人类延长寿命。B选项“弓头鲸能帮助我们延长寿命吗？”贴合文章核心主旨，可作为标题。故选B项。 D Travel isn’t always enjoyable, especially with young children. Airports with endless security lines, never-ending car rides with noisy kids, and public meltdowns (哭闹) in snack shops can easily turn a much-anticipated trip into moments of regret. Yet these challenges are eventually worthwhile — travel transforms our worldview by placing us in someone else’s “normal”. When we encounter foreign street signs, taste unfamiliar cuisines, or hear conversations in unknown languages, we’re vividly reminded that our way of life is just one of the rich human lifestyles. For teenagers, this shift in perspective develops sympathy, tolerance, and intellectual curiosity. They begin questioning cultural norms: Why do people queue differently here? How has this society’s history shaped their daily habits? Even seemingly small challenges — exploring a complex subway system or understanding a menu written in another language — build strong personalities and problem-solving abilities. These experiences teach them to adapt, communicate across differences, and trust their own judgment in unfamiliar situations. Younger children gain simpler but equally greater benefits: patience while waiting in lines, flexibility when plans change unexpectedly, and courage to try new things. A child who helps pack their suitcase, carries their own backpack, or selects a daily activity learns practical responsibility. Shared family moments — whether watching a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain or finding their way back to the hotel together after getting lost — create lasting memories that strengthen emotional bonds. The true value of travel lies not in checking off tourist attractions but in being fully present. Choose one core purpose for your trip — exploring history, connecting with nature, or simply enjoying family time — and build your itinerary (行程) around that. Remember, meaningful travel doesn’t require a plane ticket; day trips to nearby towns, cultural festivals in your city, or even visits to different neighborhoods can offer similar growth. The real journey begins not at a distant destination, but at the edge of your comfort zone. 12. What do teenagers gain from small travel challenges? A. Problem-solving abilities. B. Cooking skills. C. Language fluency. D. Driving skills. 13. What can be inferred about meaningful travel? A. It needs long distance. B. It requires plane tickets. C. It can be local trips. D. It must be expensive. 14. What strengthens family bonds during travel? A. Shared moments. B. Tourist attractions. C. Strict itineraries. D. Expensive gifts. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenges of traveling with young children. B. Why international travel is superior to local exploration. C. The importance of planning detailed itineraries for family trips. D. How travel broadens perspectives and develops personal growth. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了带孩子旅行虽有挑战但值得，旅行能拓宽人们的世界观，青少年和低龄儿童能从中获得不同的成长，有意义的旅行可在本地，核心是走出舒适区。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Even seemingly small challenges — exploring a complex subway system or understanding a menu written in another language — build strong personalities and problem-solving abilities.(即使是看似微小的挑战——比如探索复杂的地铁系统，或者理解用另一种语言书写的菜单——也能培养出坚强的个性和解决问题的能力)”可知，青少年从小型旅行挑战中能获得解决问题的能力。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Remember, meaningful travel doesn’t require a plane ticket; day trips to nearby towns, cultural festivals in your city, or even visits to different neighborhoods can offer similar growth.(请记住，有意义的旅行并不一定需要机票；去附近城镇的一日游、参加你所在城市的文化活动，或者只是去不同的社区走走，都能带来类似的收获)”可推知，有意义的旅行可以是本地旅行。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Shared family moments — whether watching a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain or finding their way back to the hotel together after getting lost — create lasting memories that strengthen emotional bonds.(共同度过的家庭时光——无论是一起观赏山巅上壮丽的日出，还是在迷路后一起找到回酒店的路——都能留下永恒的回忆，从而加深彼此之间的感情纽带)”可知，旅行中能加强家庭关系的因素是共同的经历。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Travel isn’t always enjoyable, especially with young children. Airports with endless security lines, never-ending car rides with noisy kids, and public meltdowns (哭闹) in snack shops can easily turn a much-anticipated trip into moments of regret. Yet these challenges are eventually worthwhile — travel transforms our worldview by placing us in someone else’s “normal”.(旅行并非总是令人愉快的，尤其是对于年幼的孩子来说。机场里冗长的安检队伍、孩子吵闹的漫长车程以及小吃店里的集体哭闹，都可能轻易地将原本满怀期待的旅行变成令人懊悔的时刻。然而，这些挑战最终都是值得的——旅行能让我们跳出自己的“正常”视角，从而拓宽我们的世界观)”可知，文章主要说明了带孩子旅行虽有挑战但值得，旅行能拓宽人们的世界观，青少年和低龄儿童能从中获得不同的成长，有意义的旅行可在本地，核心是走出舒适区。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是旅行如何拓宽视野并促进个人成长。故选D。 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。 I used to believe that ‌“meaningful life” required grand achievements — prizes, promotions, or viral social media posts. ____16____ On a gray Saturday morning, I wandered into the community park, my mind heavy with midterm stress and a sense of unmet expectations. That’s when I noticed them: two elderly men seated on a weathered bench, absorbed in a game of Chinese chess. Their moves were slow but deliberate. Mr. Li, with silver hair and a faded jacket, would stroke his chin for minutes before placing a piece. Across from him, Mr. Wang, leaning on a cane (拐杖), would nod thoughtfully, then respond with a soft ‌“Check.” Neither seemed in a hurry; the game unfolded like a quiet conversation. ____17____ Their focus fixed on the wooden board between them. I sat on a nearby bench, observing. What actually struck me wasn’t their skill, but their presence. ____18____ In a world that glorifies (颂扬) busyness, they reminded me that purpose can be found in the simplest routines. When Mr. Li finally smiled and said, ‌“You win this round,” Mr. Wang laughed, ‌“Tomorrow, I’ll take back my title.” It was then I realized: happiness isn’t about finishing first. ____19____ ____20____ We chase the next big thing while missing the beauty in front of us. The chess players taught me that meaning often hides in the ordinary: a shared laugh, a slow afternoon, a game played not for victory, but for connection. A. Chess requires both strategy and patience to master. B. Yet last month, an ordinary moment taught me otherwise. C. Too often, we measure life by successes rather than moments. D. Social media has made it easier to appreciate real-life interactions. E. They weren’t chasing success — just enjoying the moment together. F. Passersby occasionally stopped to watch, but the men paid no attention. G. It’s about showing up, fully and sincerely, for the people and activities that matter. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. G 20.

For hours, no one had stopped to help her, so when Bryan came near with a smile, she grew nervous, thinking the simply-dressed man might try to hurt her. Seeing her fear, Bryan slowed down and spoke gently, telling her his name and making sure her he meant no harm. Unwillingly, the lady said her car had a flat tire and she had no idea how to repair it. Bryan suggested she wait in his warm car to keep away from the cold while he changed the tire. He got his toolbox and worked quickly, finishing the job in minutes. As he closed the trunk (后备箱), the lady thanked him sincerely, explaining she was from a distant city and just passing through. She then asked how much she should pay for his timely help. Bryan refused the offer with a smile, saying he was only doing what any decent person would do. Instead of taking money, he told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, she should help someone in need the next time she got a chance, and see that small act of kindness as payment for his help. On her way to her destination, the lady saw a small cafe and stopped for a meal before the last part of her journey. After she sat down, a young waitress with a big smile came over, giving her a clean towel to wipe her wet hair made damp by the evening light rain. The lady soon noticed the waitress was heavily pregnant yet still kept busy serving customers with patience. “Why are you still working so hard in the later stage of your pregnancy?” the old lady asked. “This is life,” the waitress sighed (叹气), “my husband and I were in desperate need of money. It will be tough for us financially with the baby coming very soon.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 每段的开头语已经为你写好，不计入词数。 Paragraph 1: The sight made the old lady think of Bryan’s kindness, and she decided to pass it on. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that evening, the waitress told her husband the touching experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The sight made the old lady think of Bryan’s kindness, and she decided to pass it on. After finishing her meal, she called the waitress over gently and handed her an envelope with a warm smile. “This is for you, my dear,” she said softly, refusing to let the waitress decline. “You’re working so hard to support your family, and this small help may ease your burden a little.” She then told the waitress about Bryan’s help and his request to pass on kindness. Tears filled the waitress’s eyes as she thanked the old lady, feeling the warmth of strangers surrounding her. Paragraph 2: Later that evening, the waitress told her husband the touching experience. As she took out the envelope and counted the money inside, her voice trembled with emotion. She shared how the elderly lady had helped her and the story of Bryan’s kindness. Her husband pulled her into a tight hug, moved by the chain of warmth. “We must remember this,” he said firmly. “When we get through this hard time, we’ll help others in need too, just like Bryan and that kind lady.” That night, the couple felt hopeful, knowing that a small act of kindness could light up the darkness and warm the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布莱恩主动帮助路边汽车爆胎的老妇人却不求金钱回报，只嘱托她帮助有需要的人，老妇人随后遇到怀孕仍辛苦工作的女服务员，便践行嘱托传递善意，女服务员也决定将这份温暖继续传递下去的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“这一幕让老妇人想起了布莱恩的善举，她决定将这份善意传递下去。”可知，接下来可描写老妇人如何践行布莱恩的嘱托、传递善意——吃完饭后主动给女服务员递上装有钱的信封，安抚并鼓励女服务员，同时讲述布莱恩帮助自己的经历和嘱托，体现老妇人对善意的传承，以及女服务员收到善意后的感动。 ② 由第二段首句“当天晚上稍晚些时候，这位女服务员把这段暖心的经历讲给了丈夫听。”可知，接下来可描写女服务员向丈夫讲述老妇人帮助自己的经过、布莱恩的善意故事，以及夫妇二人被这份温暖打动，决定度过困难后也继续传递善意。 2. 续写线索： 老妇人目睹女服务员的辛苦——想起布莱恩的善意与嘱托——决定传递善意——给女服务员递信封、讲善意故事——女服务员感动——女服务员向丈夫讲述经历——夫妇二人决定继续传递善意 3.词类激活 行为类 ①减轻：ease/reduce/decrease ②帮助：help/aid ③感动：move/touch 情绪类 ①因感动而声音颤抖：voice trembled with emotion/voice wavered with emotion ②坚定地说：said firmly/said with determination 【点睛】【高分句型1】  “This is for you, my dear,” she said softly, refusing to let the waitress decline. （运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】 Tears filled the waitress’s eyes as she thanked the old lady, feeling the warmth of strangers surrounding her.（运用了as引导时间状语从句和现在分词feeling作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
