It focuses more on personal growth and less on external conflicts. I hope it resonates with readers on a deeper level. M: Any advice for other writers? W: Never give up. It’s an overused piece of advice, but it’s the key. As long as you keep writing, you’ll make progress. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What was the initial motivation for starting the Hospital for Soft Toys? A. A volunteer’s longing to help children in hospitals. B. An architect’s wish to create a toy-recycling program. C. A mother’s question about how to deal with some toys. 18. Who was the founder of the Hospital for Soft Toys? A. Mirady Acosta. B. Lilian Gluck. C. Silvia Heiber. 19. What items does the Hospital for Soft Toys collect besides toys? A. School supplies and shoes. B. Medicine and food. C. Toolboxes and shopping bags. 20. What is beneficial to the volunteers in Silvia Heiber’s view? A. Dressing a soft toy. B. Smoothing a soft toy’s fur. C. Adding filling to a soft toy. 【答案】17 C 18. B 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】M: One by one, volunteers repair toys that show the marks of use. They sew clothing, brush fur and hair, add filling and dress the toys. This is the work of the Hospital for Soft Toys, a project in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The effort began with a mother’s question: What do you do with all the toys once children outgrow them? Mirady Acosta is an architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys. She said the idea came from a teacher named Lilian Gluck. In 2017, Gluck was looking for something to do with her children’s toys as they grew older. She didn’t want to throw them away. She decided to wash them, fix them and donate them to children in the University Hospital of Caracas. So, a few months later, Gluck opened the Hospital for Soft Toys. It is a nonprofit foundation that also collects and repairs other toys. The foundation receives donations that include school supplies, shoes and food. Silvia Heiber has volunteered for almost three years. She said that smoothing a soft toy’s fur or fixing a doll’s hair is helpful for the volunteers. “By doing this, all of us who come here are in therapy, a kind of therapy based on supporting one another,” Heiber said. On some days, it seems there are not enough toys to repair. But then someone arrives at the door with more boxes and bags full of toys. The toys are delivered not only to hospitals and schools in poor areas, but also to homes for older people. 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 Books are windows to different lives and deep truths, inviting us to cross time and borders without stepping out. Among 2025’s publications, we, New York Times, unfold a collection of carefully selected literary treasures worth a place on your shelf. A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmihirst In 1972, the Baileys sailed for New Zealand, only to have their boat destroyed by a whale nine months later. Trapped on a rough float, they struggled to survive 118 days in the Pacific. Elmihirst vividly shows their fears, small wins and endless waits — moments when death felt near, leading readers to reflect deeply on loneliness, courage and partnership. Mother Emanuel by Kevin Sack In 2015, a white racist shot and killed nine people in Charleston’s Emanuel A.M.E. Church, a site rooted in Black American history. Sack spent nearly 10 years crafting this book, which tells the church’s important role in the nation’s story and highlights the strength of those who refused to be broken. It’s a moving record of hope and courage in the face of hate. Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy This memoir is honest yet full of dark humor, as Roy writes about her mother — a tough woman who inspired her to be a writer and activist, but also left deep emotional marks. Roy doesn’t hide her own flaws either. From the tight-knit Indian community she fled, to the world stage, she’s just as strong-willed and unforgettable as her mother. There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone Journalist Goldstone explores America’s “working homeless” — a heartbreaking and conflicting reality affecting hundreds of thousands. By following five Atlanta families bouncing between cars and couches, he reveals how high rents, low salaries and poor policies have pushed them to the edge. Their stories give voice to the ignored, turning numbers into real lives. 21. What does Sophie Elmihirst intend to convey in her book? A. Emergency responses to whale attacks. B. Human spirits in extreme challenges. C. Risks in ocean exploration. D. Preparations for ocean voyages. 22. Which book is most suitable for readers concerned about realistic social problems? A. A Marriage at Sea. B. Mother Emanuel. C. Mother Mary Comes to Me. D. There Is No Place for Us. 23. In which column of the newspaper can we most probably read the passage? A. Fashion. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Health. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述了《纽约时报》推荐的2025年四本值得收藏的文学佳作，并分别介绍了每本书的创作背景、主要内容和核心主旨。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmihirst部分中的“Elmihirst vividly shows their fears, small wins and endless waits — moments when death felt near, leading readers to reflect deeply on loneliness, courage and partnership.(埃尔米赫斯特生动地描绘出他们的恐惧、点滴的胜利与无尽的等待——那些死亡近在咫尺的时刻，引导读者深入思考孤独、勇气与伴侣间的相守相伴)”可知，该句表明作者通过讲述贝利一家在海上的绝境求生经历，展现了人类在极端困境中展现出的种种精神特质，B项表示“人类在极端挑战中展现的精神”，与分析相吻合。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone部分中的Journalist Goldstone explores America’s “working homeless” — a heartbreaking and conflicting reality affecting hundreds of thousands. By following five Atlanta families bouncing between cars and couches, he reveals how high rents, low salaries and poor policies have pushed them to the edge.(记者戈德斯通深入探讨了美国的“在职无家可归者”群体——这是一个影响了数十万人、令人心碎又充满矛盾的社会现实。他追踪了亚特兰大的五个家庭，这些家庭辗转于汽车与临时借住的沙发之间，居无定所；通过他们的经历，戈德斯通揭示出高昂的房租、微薄的薪水与不完善的政策，是如何将这些人一步步逼入生活绝境的) 可知，该段指出这本书聚焦美国社会中在职无家可归的现实问题，剖析了背后的社会诱因，是对现实社会问题的探讨。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Among 2025’s publications, we, New York Times, unfold a collection of carefully selected literary treasures worth a place on your shelf.(在2025年的出版物中，我们《纽约时报》为大家呈现一系列精心挑选的、值得珍藏在你书架上的文学佳作)”可推断，文章整体是《纽约时报》对文学书籍的推荐，文学作品属于文化范畴。故选C。 B Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家), well-known for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) passed away last year at the age of 91. Born in 1934 in London, Goodall’s fascination with animals was sparked when her mother took her to visit a country farm when she was 4. There, she wandered to a henhouse patiently observing a hen laying an egg. “Mom had been desperately looking for me; she’d called the police. But when she saw my shining eyes, she sat down to hear my wonderful story of how a hen lays an egg.” She credited her mother’s support at that moment and later in life for paving the way for her career. In 1960, at age 26, Goodall traveled to Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzees. She made history when she discovered that chimpanzees, humankind’s closest living relatives, made and used tools, which was long thought exclusive to humans. She also found that chimps hunted prey, ate meat, and had emotions and behaviors similar to humans. Her findings reshaped scientific understanding of primate behavior and human evolution (进化). During her long-term studies, she gave her chimp subjects names instead of numbers, a practice that raised eyebrows in the male-dominated field of primate studies in the 1960s. But within a decade, she became a National Geographic heroine, her books and films educating worldwide audiences with stories of the apes she called Graybeard, McGregor, and Gilka. Beyond her research, Goodall became a global conservation advocate. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She also launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, engaging youth worldwide in environmental and animal welfare projects. As a UN Messenger of Peace, she traveled extensively to raise awareness about conservation, poverty, and climate change, emphasizing the connections of human, animal, and environmental well-being. Goodall’s legacy lies in her unwavering belief that “every individual matters.” 24. What contributed to Goodall’s lifelong pursuit of animal career? A. Her deep fascination with animals. B. Her mother’s unconditional support. C. Her observation of a hen laying eggs. D. Her shining curiosity in animals’ stories. 25. Why was Goodall’s discovery about chimpanzees groundbreaking? A. It revealed how the chimpanzees evolved. B. It showed tools were not unique to humans. C. It highlighted chimpanzees behaved the same as humans. D. It proved chimpanzees were humankind’s closest relatives. 26. How does Goodall’s study differ from others? A. It involves more humanity. B. It takes longest time. C. It is equipped with advanced tools. D. It is male-dominated. 27. Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall? A. Selfless and confident. B. Generous and ambitious. C. Optimistic and modest. D. Committed and compassionate. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了著名灵长类动物学家珍·古道尔的生平事迹，包括她对动物研究的缘起、在黑猩猩研究领域的突破性发现、独具人文性的研究方式，以及她投身动物保护和环保事业的贡献与理念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段末句“She credited her mother’s support at that moment and later in life for paving the way for her career.(她将自己的职业道路归功于母亲当时以及后来人生中的支持)”可知，母亲的支持为古道尔的动物研究事业铺平了道路，是促成她终身从事动物相关事业的关键因素。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“She made history when she discovered that chimpanzees, humankind’s closest living relatives, made and used tools, which was long thought exclusive to humans.(她发现人类现存的近亲黑猩猩会制造和使用工具，这一能力长期以来被认为是人类独有的，这一发现让她创造了历史)”可知，这一发现打破了“只有人类会制造和使用工具”的固有认知，是其研究具有开创性的核心原因。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段首句“During her long-term studies, she gave her chimp subjects names instead of numbers, a practice that raised eyebrows in the male-dominated field of primate studies in the 1960s.(在长期的研究中，她给研究的黑猩猩对象起了名字，而非用数字编号，这一做法在20世纪60年代由男性主导的灵长类研究领域引起了质疑)”可知，相较于用数字编号，给黑猩猩命名的方式体现出对研究对象的尊重，让研究更具人文色彩。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees and their habitats.(1977年，她创立了珍・古道尔研究所，以保护黑猩猩及其栖息地)和She also launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, engaging youth worldwide in environmental and animal welfare projects.(她还发起了“根与芽”项目，让全球的年轻人参与到环境和动物福利项目中来)可知，珍·古道尔一生致力于黑猩猩研究和动物环保事业，由此推断，她性格坚定，而且对动物有着同情心。故选D。 C In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024. Why are so many people travelling alone? Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” which is opposed to “honeymooning”. Meanwhile, those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, put it. Solo travellers describe the thrill of doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Research has shown that self-driven solitude can boost creativity and well-being. And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. The firm, which uses the slogan “arrive solo, leave as friends”, now takes twice as many bookings as it did before Covid-19. Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please. On TikTok influencers advocate the virtues of independent travelling: “Stop waiting for someone to join you.” Women, in particular, are welcoming that trend. By one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the competence, and the time, to follow their feet. 28. What does “me-mooning” refer to? A. Remote destination exploration. B. Group-focused adventures. C. Solo travel for self-discovery. D. Honeymoon for couples. 29. Why do some people travel alone according to Flash Pack? A. To boost their creativity and well-being. B. To form new friendships and relationships. C. To avoid the spread of pandemic. D. To escape from their daily routines. 30. What can we know about Millennial and Gen Z tourists? A. They have flexible time and bigger budget for trips. B. They are keen on travelling with mates. C. They prioritize marriage and family over travel. D. They behave like older generation. 31. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. Women are still unwilling to travel alone. B. Most females prefer travelling accompanied by men. C. Women face multiple challenges when travelling alone. D. Women are embracing solo travel despite historical restrictions. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了独自旅行日益流行的原因，指出其核心动机包括自我发现、寻求冒险以及建立新社交关系，并指出年轻一代和女性群体正成为这一趋势的主要推动者。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据该词的前一句“Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. (正如昔日的“大旅行”是年轻贵族们的盛大仪式一样，如今的独自旅行也不再是去探寻遥远的异国之地，而更多地是为了自我发现。)”可知，该词描述的是上文提到的趋势，与独自旅行以及自我发现相关，因此其意思应该是“以自我发现为目的的独自旅行”。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. (而且，许多人不再与老友相聚，而是选择独自旅行，以便结识新朋友和新恋人。旅游公司Flash Pack的Lee Thompson说，疫情的隔离使人们对与陌生人一起漫步“更加开放”。)”可知，Flash Pack指出一些人独自旅行是为了建立新的友谊和关系。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please. (千禧一代和Z世代尤其热衷于旅行：他们用于旅行的支出占其收入的比例要高于年长一代。许多人正在推迟结婚和生育的计划，因此他们能够根据自己的意愿随时出发去旅行。)”可知，千禧一代和Z世代游客拥有更灵活的旅行时间和更大的旅行预算。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the competence, and the time, to follow their feet. (一个世纪以前，人们告诫女性不要独自出行，必须有男性同伴陪同；而如今，许多人表示她们不再害怕独自旅行了。如今的女性具备了足够的能力和时间随脚步而行。)”可推知，尽管历史上存在限制，女性正积极拥抱独自旅行。故选D项。 D Imagine attending a job interview and being rejected without a single question — simply because your face “didn’t fit.” You’d likely accuse the company of discrimination, but what if facial features could genuinely predict job performance? This thought-provoking question lies at the core of a recent study by Marius Guenzel from the University of Pennsylvania and his research team. Personality assessments are a standard part of modern recruitment (招聘), yet they often rely on self-reported surveys or interviews where candidates may tailor answers to impress employers. Guenzel’s team took an innovative approach: using an AI algorithm. During their experiment, the researchers analyzed the profile photos of 96,000 graduates, extracting what they termed the “Photo Big Five”: agreeableness, conscientiousness (尽责性), extraversion (外向性), neuroticism (神经质), openness. By cross-referencing these AI-detected traits with real-world labor-market data, they found that facial analysis could predict those graduates’ income and career mobility. However, they emphasized that its predictive power is limited, serving only as an complementary source of information rather than a decisive factor. Despite this finding, the study has sparked intense debates and raised significant concerns. For one, combined patterns obtained from large datasets cannot guarantee accurate predictions of individual performance. For another, legal and ethical risks stood out: anti-discrimination laws in many regions make hiring decisions based on facial characteristics a potential legal violation. More unnoticeably, if facial traits are considered fixed, the value of personal growth and self-improvement is weakened — why strive to change if your face already signals certain traits to employers? Experts like Manish Raghavan from MIT Sloan School of Management note that most companies remain wary of adopting such AI tools. He argues that people are more willing to accept decisions based on unchanging traits only when there is clear logic. This logic, however, is far from proven in the case of facial analysis in recruitment, thus making public acceptance difficult. As such, human interaction in interviews—where candidates can showcase their abilities and personality directly — remains irreplaceable. 32. What can facial analysis forecast about surveyed graduates according to Guenzel’s study? A. Their academic achievements. B. Their ability to impress interviewers. C. Their “Photo Big Five” personality traits. D. Their future earnings and job development. 33. What problem may AI facial analysis cause in the hiring process? A. Discouraging career-related self-improvement. B. Violating labor protection laws in most regions. C. Causing over-reliance on AI for candidate assessment. D. Failing to predict any individual performance accurately. 34. What does the underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Eager. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Photo Big Five: A Personality Assessment Tool. B. AI-powered Facial Test: Predictors of Career Success. C. Facial Traits in Hiring: Too Soon to Trust. D. AI Facial Analysis: the Future of Recruitment. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍AI面部分析用于招聘的研究、争议、伦理风险及当下不可轻信的结论。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By cross-referencing these AI-detected traits with real-world labor-market data, they found that facial analysis could predict those graduates’ income and career mobility.(通过将这些AI检测到的特征与现实劳动力市场数据进行比对，他们发现面部分析可以预测这些毕业生的收入和职业发展。)”可知，面部分析可以预测被调查毕业生未来的收入和职业发展。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“More unnoticedly, if facial traits are considered fixed, the value of personal growth and self-improvement is weakened — why strive to change if your face already signals certain traits to employers?(更易被忽视的是，如果面部特征被认为是固定不变的，个人成长和自我提升的价值就会被削弱——如果你的脸已经向雇主显示了某些特征，为什么还要努力改变呢？)”可知，AI面部分析可能会打击个人职业相关的自我提升。故选A项。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Experts like Manish Raghavan from MIT Sloan School of Management note that most companies remain wary of adopting such AI tools.(麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院的Manish Raghavan等专家指出，大多数公司对采用这类AI工具仍持wary。)”结合后文面部分析缺乏明确逻辑、公众难以接受等信息可推知，“wary”意为谨慎的。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As such, human interaction in interviews — where candidates can showcase their abilities and personality directly — remains irreplaceable.(因此，面试中的人际互动——候选人可以直接展示自己的能力与个性——仍然是不可替代的。)”可知，文章介绍了AI面部分析用于招聘的研究，指出其存在预测不准确、伦理法律风险，且目前难以被接受和信任。C选项“招聘中的面部特征：尚不可信”最适合作为文章标题。故选C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。 Recently, I came across an image on the Internet: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. ___36___. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do. ___37___. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1%, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. ___38___. So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people. ___39___. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者看到地球哭泣的图片深受触动，不愿让儿子认为人类愚蠢邪恶。人类靠智慧发展带来环境问题，但也有能力解决，应教会孩子人类是问题解决者。 【36题详解】 根据上文“I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue.(我绝不让我的八岁儿子相信人类是愚蠢或邪恶的——因为这显然是不符合事实的)”以及后文“I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do. (我想知道，或许还有其他像我一样有这种看法的人存在吧)”可知，作者不希望儿子认为人类是愚蠢或邪恶的，并且认为自己的想法可能不是普遍的，所以会感到孤独，前后文为转折关系。故A选项“但我常常感到很孤独”符合语境，故选A。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children.(我们的先辈燃烧煤炭是为了解决一些紧迫的问题：比如增加粮食产量、为房屋供暖以及照明。而我们则希望为自己和我们的后代创造美好的生活)”可知，本段主要讲述的是人类祖先燃烧煤炭是为了解决紧迫的问题，为孩子提供美好的生活，这是人类智慧的体现，故G选项“我们造成气候变化不是因为愚蠢，而是因为极其聪明”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1%, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement.(结果令人震惊。在1895 年的美国，有四分之一的儿童在五岁前就夭折了。而如今这一比例已降至不足 1%，并且我们还将继续努力，直至这一比例降为零。想象一下本·富兰克林或马克·吐温会如何描写这种程度的进步呢)”可知，本段主要讲述的是人类取得的进步，本句对人类成就进行总结。故F选项“如果他们看到我们所取得的成就，他们怎么能忍住不流泪呢”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据后文“It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.(就在不久前，伦敦才清理了其被烟尘污染的空气。当雨水变得酸性时，全世界都会调整其政策。当损害发生在当地时，我们往往能够很好地解决这些问题。这就是我感到希望的地方：我们已经做到了这一点，并且我们知道这是可行的)”可知，本段主要讲述的是人类在解决环境问题上所取得的进步，故D选项“值得称赞的是，我们在解决这个问题上并不总是很糟糕”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil.(我不想让我的儿子在成长过程中产生这样的想法，即他所属的这个物种在某种程度上是邪恶的)”以及后文“Whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.(无论我们采取何种措施来应对全球变暖，都会引发更多的新问题。对于智慧型生物而言，这种情况在所难免)”可知，作者不希望儿子认为人类是邪恶的，并且后文提到作者认为人类是聪明的，故C选项“我希望他觉得人类是解决问题的能手”符合语境，故选C。 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。 As a kid, passionately fond of reading, I feasted on books until my eyes blurred.

Nevertheless, its current weekday opening hours (9 a.m. — 4 p.m.) coincide with our class schedule, making it inaccessible for most students. Additionally, the activity forms are relatively dull and a considerable number of students remain unaware of its comprehensive functions.

My sister Bethany, two years older than me, is always poking her nose into my business. “Nothing,” I replied. I didn’t tell her I was entering a writing competition in case I didn’t win. Bethany is always winning at her dancing competitions, Mum has lots of bowling trophies (奖杯), and Dad is the top player at his golf club. I started ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was always facing the wrong way and bumping into (撞) everyone. I’m even worse at sport. But I do love English at school, especially writing stories. Ms. Susan is my favorite teacher and she suggested I enter this competition. I felt a warm light when she said she thought my stories were excellent. “Is it your secret diary?” Bethany yawned, opening the fridge. Mum arrived, loaded with shopping bags. “Who’s keeping a secret diary?” “Nobody. I’m keeping a notebook as I want to be a writer,” I said, annoyed. Bethany snorted (哼), “Now she thinks she’s going to be the next Shakespeare.” “Our Maisie maybe will be a famous writer. All her teachers praise her composition,” Mum leapt to my defence. “Ms. Susan says I should write about what I know, so you’d better watch out,” I told Bethany darkly. Bethany took a bottle of milk from the fridge and bounded (跳跃着跑) upstairs and yelled, “I don’t want to be in your stupid story!” “Ignore her,” Mum said. “Keep going with your story.” Weeks passed and the memory of the competition slowly faded beneath the busy rhythm of everyday life. Then one afternoon, as I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails, a notification (通知) from the competition organizers suddenly appeared. 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。 I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. A wave of exhilaration washed over me. Without a second thought, I rushed downstairs to share the incredible news with my family. My mother wrapped me in a tight embrace, her eyes glistening with tears, while my father instantly suggested celebrating at my favorite restaurant. I also called Ms. Susan to share the good news, who encouraged me, “Your work finally paid off.” Bethany, however, offered only a brief, flat “Congratulations”. Her lack of enthusiasm cast a shadow over my joy. I had been secretly longing for her approval more than anyone else’s. Holding the draft, I approached Bethany. “It’s about us,” my voice barely a whisper. “Would you like to read it?” I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. The silence grew thick and every second stretched out. My heart pounded as I watched, searching for any hint in her eyes. Then came her voice, “This is... truly wonderful. The part of the annoying sister is vivid. You really deserve the success.” Her words filled me with a warmth that seemed to melt away years of quiet rivalry between us. My entire body relaxed. “It wasn’t just my achievement.” I told her. “You helped me get there.” Tears streamed down Bethany’s face as she hugged me tightly. At that moment, I realized home was more than a place; it was the safety of shared memories and the comfort of being fully accepted, exactly as you are. 【解析】 【导语】本文以参加写作比赛为线索展开，讲述了“我”热爱写作并在老师鼓励下参加比赛，获奖后与家人分享喜讯，尤其渴望姐姐Bethany的认可，最终姐姐读懂“我”以彼此为原型的故事并给予肯定，姐妹俩化解隔阂，“我”也领悟到家的真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我把那封邮件读了整整二十遍，才终于相信自己成功了”可知，第一段可描写“我”获奖后的狂喜，与父母、老师分享喜讯的温馨场景，以及姐姐平淡的回应让“我”心生失落，最终鼓起勇气邀请姐姐阅读以二人为主角的参赛故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“贝萨妮读我的故事时，我屏住了呼吸，心里忐忑着她的反应”可知，第二段可描写姐姐读故事时“我”的紧张忐忑，姐姐读完后对故事的肯定与夸赞，姐妹俩多年隔阂的消融，以及“我”由此领悟到家的真正内涵。 2. 续写线索：获奖震惊——分享喜讯——亲友回应——邀请读文——姐姐认可——关系和解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接受：accept/embrace ②走近：approach/draw near ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/zeal ②喜悦：joy/elation 【点睛】【高分句型1】My mother wrapped me in a tight embrace, her eyes glistening with tears, while my father instantly suggested celebrating at my favorite restaurant.(运用了名词+V-ing构成的独立主格结构以及while连接的并列分句) 【高分句型2】I also called Ms. Susan to share the good news, who encouraged me, “Your work finally paid off.”(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025学年第一学期高二期末测试卷 英语学科试卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）。 第Ⅰ卷 注意事项： 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man think of Mary?

Among 2025’s publications, we, New York Times, unfold a collection of carefully selected literary treasures worth a place on your shelf. A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmihirst In 1972, the Baileys sailed for New Zealand, only to have their boat destroyed by a whale nine months later. Trapped on a rough float, they struggled to survive 118 days in the Pacific. Elmihirst vividly shows their fears, small wins and endless waits — moments when death felt near, leading readers to reflect deeply on loneliness, courage and partnership. Mother Emanuel by Kevin Sack In 2015, a white racist shot and killed nine people in Charleston’s Emanuel A.M.E. Church, a site rooted in Black American history. Sack spent nearly 10 years crafting this book, which tells the church’s important role in the nation’s story and highlights the strength of those who refused to be broken. It’s a moving record of hope and courage in the face of hate. Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy This memoir is honest yet full of dark humor, as Roy writes about her mother — a tough woman who inspired her to be a writer and activist, but also left deep emotional marks. Roy doesn’t hide her own flaws either. From the tight-knit Indian community she fled, to the world stage, she’s just as strong-willed and unforgettable as her mother. There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone Journalist Goldstone explores America’s “working homeless” — a heartbreaking and conflicting reality affecting hundreds of thousands. By following five Atlanta families bouncing between cars and couches, he reveals how high rents, low salaries and poor policies have pushed them to the edge. Their stories give voice to the ignored, turning numbers into real lives. 21. What does Sophie Elmihirst intend to convey in her book? A. Emergency responses to whale attacks. B. Human spirits in extreme challenges. C. Risks in ocean exploration. D. Preparations for ocean voyages. 22 Which book is most suitable for readers concerned about realistic social problems? A. A Marriage at Sea. B. Mother Emanuel. C. Mother Mary Comes to Me. D. There Is No Place for Us. 23. In which column of the newspaper can we most probably read the passage? A. Fashion. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Health. B Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家), well-known for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) passed away last year at the age of 91. Born in 1934 in London, Goodall’s fascination with animals was sparked when her mother took her to visit a country farm when she was 4. There, she wandered to a henhouse patiently observing a hen laying an egg. “Mom had been desperately looking for me; she’d called the police. But when she saw my shining eyes, she sat down to hear my wonderful story of how a hen lays an egg.” She credited her mother’s support at that moment and later in life for paving the way for her career. In 1960, at age 26, Goodall traveled to Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzees. She made history when she discovered that chimpanzees, humankind’s closest living relatives, made and used tools, which was long thought exclusive to humans. She also found that chimps hunted prey, ate meat, and had emotions and behaviors similar to humans. Her findings reshaped scientific understanding of primate behavior and human evolution (进化). During her long-term studies, she gave her chimp subjects names instead of numbers, a practice that raised eyebrows in the male-dominated field of primate studies in the 1960s. But within a decade, she became a National Geographic heroine, her books and films educating worldwide audiences with stories of the apes she called Graybeard, McGregor, and Gilka. Beyond her research, Goodall became a global conservation advocate. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She also launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, engaging youth worldwide in environmental and animal welfare projects. As a UN Messenger of Peace, she traveled extensively to raise awareness about conservation, poverty, and climate change, emphasizing the connections of human, animal, and environmental well-being. Goodall’s legacy lies in her unwavering belief that “every individual matters.” 24. What contributed to Goodall’s lifelong pursuit of animal career? A. Her deep fascination with animals. B. Her mother’s unconditional support. C. Her observation of a hen laying eggs. D. Her shining curiosity in animals’ stories. 25. Why was Goodall’s discovery about chimpanzees groundbreaking? A. It revealed how the chimpanzees evolved. B. It showed tools were not unique to humans. C. It highlighted chimpanzees behaved the same as humans. D. It proved chimpanzees were humankind’s closest relatives. 26. How does Goodall’s study differ from others? A. It involves more humanity. B. It takes longest time. C It is equipped with advanced tools. D. It is male-dominated. 27. Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall? A. Selfless and confident. B. Generous and ambitious. C. Optimistic and modest. D. Committed and compassionate. C In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024. Why are so many people travelling alone? Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” which is opposed to “honeymooning”. Meanwhile, those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, put it. Solo travellers describe the thrill of doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Research has shown that self-driven solitude can boost creativity and well-being. And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. The firm, which uses the slogan “arrive solo, leave as friends”, now takes twice as many bookings as it did before Covid-19. Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please. On TikTok influencers advocate the virtues of independent travelling: “Stop waiting for someone to join you.” Women, in particular, are welcoming that trend. By one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the competence, and the time, to follow their feet. 28. What does “me-mooning” refer to? A Remote destination exploration. B. Group-focused adventures. C. Solo travel for self-discovery. D. Honeymoon for couples. 29. Why do some people travel alone according to Flash Pack? A. To boost their creativity and well-being. B. To form new friendships and relationships. C. To avoid the spread of pandemic. D. To escape from their daily routines. 30. What can we know about Millennial and Gen Z tourists? A. They have flexible time and bigger budget for trips. B. They are keen on travelling with mates. C. They prioritize marriage and family over travel. D. They behave like older generation. 31. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. Women are still unwilling to travel alone. B. Most females prefer travelling accompanied by men. C. Women face multiple challenges when travelling alone. D. Women are embracing solo travel despite historical restrictions. D Imagine attending a job interview and being rejected without a single question — simply because your face “didn’t fit.” You’d likely accuse the company of discrimination, but what if facial features could genuinely predict job performance? This thought-provoking question lies at the core of a recent study by Marius Guenzel from the University of Pennsylvania and his research team. Personality assessments are a standard part of modern recruitment (招聘), yet they often rely on self-reported surveys or interviews where candidates may tailor answers to impress employers. Guenzel’s team took an innovative approach: using an AI algorithm. During their experiment, the researchers analyzed the profile photos of 96,000 graduates, extracting what they termed the “Photo Big Five”: agreeableness, conscientiousness (尽责性), extraversion (外向性), neuroticism (神经质), openness. By cross-referencing these AI-detected traits with real-world labor-market data, they found that facial analysis could predict those graduates’ income and career mobility. However, they emphasized that its predictive power is limited, serving only as an complementary source of information rather than a decisive factor. Despite this finding, the study has sparked intense debates and raised significant concerns. For one, combined patterns obtained from large datasets cannot guarantee accurate predictions of individual performance. For another, legal and ethical risks stood out: anti-discrimination laws in many regions make hiring decisions based on facial characteristics a potential legal violation. More unnoticeably, if facial traits are considered fixed, the value of personal growth and self-improvement is weakened — why strive to change if your face already signals certain traits to employers? Experts like Manish Raghavan from MIT Sloan School of Management note that most companies remain wary of adopting such AI tools. He argues that people are more willing to accept decisions based on unchanging traits only when there is clear logic. This logic, however, is far from proven in the case of facial analysis in recruitment, thus making public acceptance difficult. As such, human interaction in interviews—where candidates can showcase their abilities and personality directly — remains irreplaceable. 32. What can facial analysis forecast about surveyed graduates according to Guenzel’s study? A. Their academic achievements. B. Their ability to impress interviewers. C. Their “Photo Big Five” personality traits. D. Their future earnings and job development. 33. What problem may AI facial analysis cause in the hiring process? A. Discouraging career-related self-improvement. B. Violating labor protection laws in most regions. C. Causing over-reliance on AI for candidate assessment. D. Failing to predict any individual performance accurately. 34. What does the underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Eager. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Photo Big Five: A Personality Assessment Tool. B AI-powered Facial Test: Predictors of Career Success. C. Facial Traits in Hiring: Too Soon to Trust. D. AI Facial Analysis: the Future of Recruitment. 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。 Recently, I came across an image on the Internet: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. ___36___. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do. ___37___. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1%, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. ___38___. So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people. ___39___. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible. I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. ___40___. Whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species. A. But I often find myself quite lonely. B. Yet our past mistakes are still haunted us today. C. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers. D. To our credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. E. Therefore, it is essential to abandon fossil fuels immediately. F. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved? G. We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. 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。 As a kid, passionately fond of reading, I feasted on books until my eyes blurred.

I often had to pause reading to ____51____ e-dictionary, slowing my pace. What’s more, even noted down, most of these words were just like admired yet rarely used museum pieces, never making an ____52____ in my daily communication. Though using my phone as a tool for slow thinking feels ____53____ in an era of distracted attention, this ____54____ has brought definite gains: my mind has grown keener, and I now reach for precise words instead of the same worn-out adjectives. Best of all, I’ve regained the pleasure of reading — a ____55____ once feared lost. 41. A. replaced B. survived C. faded D. advanced 42. A. task B. burden C. reward D. joy 43.

My sister Bethany, two years older than me, is always poking her nose into my business. “Nothing,” I replied. I didn’t tell her I was entering a writing competition in case I didn’t win. Bethany is always winning at her dancing competitions, Mum has lots of bowling trophies (奖杯), and Dad is the top player at his golf club. I started ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was always facing the wrong way and bumping into (撞) everyone. I’m even worse at sport. But I do love English at school, especially writing stories. Ms. Susan is my favorite teacher and she suggested I enter this competition. I felt a warm light when she said she thought my stories were excellent. “Is it your secret diary?” Bethany yawned, opening the fridge. Mum arrived, loaded with shopping bags. “Who’s keeping a secret diary?” “Nobody. I’m keeping a notebook as I want to be a writer,” I said, annoyed. Bethany snorted (哼), “Now she thinks she’s going to be the next Shakespeare.” “Our Maisie maybe will be a famous writer. All her teachers praise her composition,” Mum leapt to my defence. “Ms. Susan says I should write about what I know, so you’d better watch out,” I told Bethany darkly. Bethany took a bottle of milk from the fridge and bounded (跳跃着跑) upstairs and yelled, “I don’t want to be in your stupid story!” “Ignore her,” Mum said. “Keep going with your story.” Weeks passed, and the memory of the competition slowly faded beneath the busy rhythm of everyday life. Then one afternoon, as I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails, a notification (通知) from the competition organizers suddenly appeared. 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。 I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025学年第一学期高二英语期末测试听力部分。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abc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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Mary strikes me as an efficient person.
