From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. Ink Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province. Paper Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. Inkstones Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity. 21. Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture? A. Because it is a difficult process. B. Because it produces ink in various colors. C. Because it requires a high-quality inkstone. D. Because it reflects valued morals in China. 22. What can we learn about the Four Treasures of the Study? A. The brush is made from bark. B. Ink is only produced in Huizhou. C. “Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D. Inkstones were originally carved objects. 23. Which column in a paper might the passage come from? A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture. B For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的)feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome (克服) my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 25. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 26. What does the underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Harm. B. Cost. C. Attraction. D. Waste. 27. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. C Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 28. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke. 29. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 30. What’s a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke. 31. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. D Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed, technology — particularly through platforms like social media — offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now?” Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study showed, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 32. Why do older people hesitate to accept new techs? A. They have limited access to digital devices. B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate. C They have a negative attitude towards all new technologies. D They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital tools. 33. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father? A. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. C. Seniors often feel upset when using new technologies. D. Seniors always face the breakdown of smart phones. 34. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technologies. B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems. C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs. D. Effective ways for web designers to simplify website interfaces. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Bridging the Tech Gap: Designing Senior-Friendly Technology. B. To Say Yes to the Smart Phone: A Beautiful Mistake. C. To Use or Not to Use: A Technological Barrier. D. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology? 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。 How to Work with Different Cultures Working effectively with different cultures is a necessary skill for anyone in a culturally diverse work environment.

Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role. While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!” Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower. “Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!” “OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.” I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me! But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mom turned out to be very good at performing. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 海南州高级中学2025～2026学年第一学期期末考试 高二英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 4．本卷主要命题范围：外研版选择性必修第一册U3～选择性必修第二册。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B 【解析】 【原文】W: This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man-made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic collars. These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily, and when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What’s worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution. We now use the term white pollution to refer to plastic pollution. 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 Four Treasures of the Study Brushes The brush, made from animal hair, is the tool bringing life to the paper. From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. Ink Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province. Paper Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. Inkstones Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity. 21. Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture? A. Because it is a difficult process. B. Because it produces ink in various colors. C. Because it requires a high-quality inkstone. D. Because it reflects valued morals in China. 22 What can we learn about the Four Treasures of the Study? A. The brush is made from bark. B. Ink is only produced in Huizhou. C. “Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D. Inkstones were originally carved objects. 23. Which column in a paper might the passage come from? A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍文房四宝的特点、产地及文化意义。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture.(研磨这一动作象征着在中国文化中备受推崇的耐心和奉献精神)”可知，在中华文化中研磨墨汁被视为有意义的行为是因为这体现了中国所崇尚的道德观念。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段““Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province.(“宣纸”是用于书写的最佳纸张，产于安徽省宣州市)”可知，“宣纸”是用于书写的最佳纸张。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“Four Treasures of the Study(文房四宝)”以及最后一段“With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity.(凭借这些珍贵的文物，中国人创造了独具特色的书法和绘画风格，构建了一套独特的表达体系。如今，它们继续激励着世界各地的艺术家，将传统与现代完美融合)”结合文章主要介绍文房四宝的特点、产地及文化意义。可知，文章选自“文化”专栏。故选D。 B For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的)feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome (克服) my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 25. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 26. What does the underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Harm. B. Cost. C. Attraction. D. Waste. 27. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者二十多年来酷爱炸鸡，后因健康问题决心戒断，并分享戒断过程与感悟的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week...”(二十多年来，炸鸡一直是我最喜欢的食物。我每周至少要吃三次……)”以及“there were times when I tried to cut back on it... but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days (有几次我试图减少吃炸鸡的量……但总是在几天内就妥协了)可知，作者对炸鸡的喜爱持续时间长且程度深。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. (今年，一连串的事情彻底改变了我与炸鸡的关系。我开始频繁地胃痛、消化不良。医生无法将这些问题直接与炸鸡关联起来，但我注意到，每次吃炸鸡后，我的不适感都会加剧。）以及“One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. (“一天晚上，在吃完一大桶炸鸡后，我感觉非常难受，整晚都没睡好。那就是转折点。我下定决心，不能再这样下去了。”)”可知，健康问题和食用后的不适感促使作者放弃炸鸡。故选D项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. ( 炸鸡里真的有让人上瘾的东西吗？虽然医学书籍中没有正式的“炸鸡成瘾”记录，但专家指出了可能使其具有“allure”的因素。)，结合后文提到的“高脂肪让大脑释放‘快乐化学物质’、独特香料刺激味蕾”等吸引人们吃炸鸡的原因，可推测“allure”意为“吸引力”。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.

The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 28. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke. 29. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 30. What’s a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke. 31. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了野火烟雾对健康的危害，分析了其成分、来源及在城市与林地火灾中的差异，并指出烟雾在阳光下的反应会加剧污染。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space.(上个月，加利福尼亚南部爆发了一系列野火，导致数十人丧生。从太空中甚至都能看到烟雾云团)”和第二段中“Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. (这种烟雾可能含有与心脏病、肺病甚至癌症有关的不可预测的化学物质。这就是野火烟雾如此危险的原因)”可知，文章主要讨论了野火烟雾对健康的危害。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If they’re smaller than 2. 5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2. 5, is a common pollutant. (如果它们的直径小于2.5微米，吸入时就能突破人体的自然防御，深入肺部，引发许多健康问题。这种颗粒被称为PM2.5，是一种常见的污染物)”可知，PM2.5之所以危险，是因为它能进入肺部，引发健康问题。故选A。 30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. (2023年的一项研究发现，城市野火释放的有害化学物质数量是林地火灾的1000多倍)”可知，城市野火与林地野火的关键区别在于城市野火释放的污染物更多。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. (更糟糕的是，随着时间的推移，烟雾会暴露在阳光下。辐射会引起一系列反应，通常会产生其他污染物)”可知，野火烟雾暴露在阳光下会形成其他污染物。故选D。 D Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed, technology — particularly through platforms like social media — offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now?” Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study showed, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 32. Why do older people hesitate to accept new techs? A. They have limited access to digital devices. B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate. C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technologies. D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital tools. 33. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father? A. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. C. Seniors often feel upset when using new technologies. D. Seniors always face the breakdown of smart phones. 34. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technologies. B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems. C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs. D. Effective ways for web designers to simplify website interfaces. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Bridging the Tech Gap: Designing Senior-Friendly Technology. B. To Say Yes to the Smart Phone: A Beautiful Mistake. C. To Use or Not to Use: A Technological Barrier. D. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology? 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明老年人使用新技术的障碍，及通过优化设计打造适老科技的必要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology.(主要障碍是对技术及其优势缺乏了解，以及使用智能手机或电脑等高科技工具存在困难。这往往导致他们在采用新技术时犹豫不决。)”可知，老年人不愿接受新技术是因为他们发现高科技产品操作起来有难度。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part.(此外，沮丧是常见的。合著者露西娅经常从她已故的父亲那里听到“这不管用”的抱怨，尤其是在使用手机时，尽管他在大多数情况下都能较好地使用技术。)”可知，露西娅父亲的例子说明老年人使用新技术时经常感到沮丧。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面)... showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.(老年用户更喜欢简洁明了的网页。此前一项研究表明，许多老年人喜欢界面简单、易于使用的网站……这表明仍然需要适合老年人的技术解决方案。)”可知，本段重点讨论老年用户对“简洁界面”的需求及当前设计的不足，由此可推测，下一段可能会探讨网页设计师简化网站界面的有效方法。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits.(传统上，老年人在使用新技术时会遇到困难，但情况未必一定如此。通过合理的设计，即便是最犹豫的用户，也能发掘出新技术的巨大益处)”可知，文章主要围绕老年人使用新技术面临的困难展开，强调需要为老年人设计友好的技术，以缩小技术差距。因此，“弥合技术差距：设计适合老年人的技术”既点明“老年人与技术之间的鸿沟”，又突出“技术优化设计”的解决方案，精准概括文章“问题一方案”的逻辑框架，最适合作为本文标题。故选A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。 How to Work with Different Cultures Working effectively with different cultures is a necessary skill for anyone in a culturally diverse work environment.

However, for ___56___ (local) in Sihong, Jiangsu Province, Qiangan Dance (钱杆舞) is the tradition that best represents their cultural identity. A qiangan is a stick made of bamboo or wood, usually ___57___ (decorate) with copper coins (铜钱), bells and ribbons. Qiangan Dance performers use the qiangan ___58___ (hit) their shoulders, waists, legs and other body parts lightly while ___59___ (dance) to the rhythm of local folk music. Because of its cultural importance, Qiangan Dance ___60___ (recognize) as an intangible cultural heritage in Jiangsu province in 2023. Hu Bo, 50, president of the Qiangan Dance Association in Sihong County, was born into a family of folk artists. He ___61___ (begin) learning the dance as a child and has practised it for decades. What interests him most is the Huaihe culture behind the dance. Sihong County lies along the Huaihe River, ___62___ divides northern and southern China. Despite its cultural value, Qiangan Dance, ___63___ a certain extent, is at the risk of being forgotten. Many young people leave Sihong for work, and few are practising it now, Hu recalled. To fight against this cultural ___64___ (ignore), Hu formed a training team. They regularly showcase the dance at temple fairs, museums, and competitions. Hu also shares performances online, attracting enthusiasts who inspire him to “bring Qiangan Dance to ____65____ bigger stage.” 【答案】56. locals 57. decorated 58. to hit 59. dancing 60. was recognized 61. began 62. which 63. to 64. ignorance 65. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了江苏省泗洪县的非物质文化遗产 —— 钱杆舞，包括钱杆的制作材料、舞蹈表演形式，还讲述了钱杆舞协会会长胡波传承该文化的经历，以及当前钱杆舞面临的传承困境与保护措施。 【56题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：然而，对于江苏省泗洪县的当地人来说，钱杆舞才是最能代表他们文化身份的传统。“local”作名词时表示“当地人”，为可数名词，此处指泗洪县的众多当地人，应用复数形式locals。故填locals。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：钱杆是用竹子或木头制成的棍子，通常装饰有铜钱、铃铛和彩带。句中已有谓语动词“is”且空前无其它连词，所以此处应用decorate的非谓语动词形式，因其与被修饰的名词“a stick”之间为被动关系，即棍子被装饰，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填decorated。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：钱杆舞表演者会随着当地民间音乐的节奏跳舞，同时用钱杆轻轻击打自己的肩膀、腰部、腿部和其他身体部位。根据语意可知，“使用钱杆”的目的是“击打身体部位”，应用hit的动词不定式作目的状语。故填to hit。 【59题详解】 考查省略表达。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，while引导的为状语从句，从句的主语与主句的主语一致，所以可省略从句的主语和be动词，其完整形式为：while (Qiangan Dance performers are) dancing to the rhythm of local folk music。故填dancing。 【60题详解】 考查时态语态及主谓一致。句意：由于其文化重要性，钱杆舞于2023年被认定为江苏省非物质文化遗产。根据时间状语“in 2023”和语境可知，此处描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时；主语“Qiangan Dance”与“recognize”之间为被动关系，即被认定，应用被动语态，且主语为单数，be动词应用was。故填was recognized。 【61题详解】 考查时态。句意：他小时候就开始学习这种舞蹈，并且已经练习了几十年。根据时间状语“as a child”和语境可知，“开始学习”是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，begin用过去式。故填began。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：泗洪县位于淮河沿岸，淮河是中国南北方的分界线。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是“the Huaihe River”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用which来引导。故填which。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：胡波回忆道，尽管具有文化价值，但钱杆舞在一定程度上面临着被遗忘的风险。“to a certain extent”为固定短语，意为“在一定程度上”。故填to。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了对抗这种文化上的无知，胡波组建了一支训练队。根据空格前的“this cultural”可知，此处应用ignore的名词形式ignorance作宾语，为不可数名词，表“忽视”的抽象概念。故填ignorance。 65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：胡波还在网上分享表演视频，吸引了不少爱好者，这些爱好者激励着他“把钱杆舞带上更大的舞台”。“stage”为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个更大的舞台”，且“bigger”以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校将举办主题为“Love Birds, Protect Nature”的活动。请你给外教Mr. Smith写一封邮件，邀请他参加，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动内容； 3. 发出邀请。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Smith, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I'm Li Hua.

Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role. While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!” Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower. “Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!” “OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.” I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me! But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mom turned out to be very good at performing. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version “I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though. I gathered courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!” My mom turned out to be very good at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps. too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might have been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者的父母常做些令人尴尬的事，一次购物时母亲得知学校冬季集市表演缺音乐老师，便主动请缨要教作者班级唱歌跳舞，作者虽不情愿但无法阻止，母亲在教室准备开始教学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我简直不敢相信这种事正在发生”，这是我唯一能想到的。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到母亲开始表演时的反应。作者起初难以置信，闭眼捂耳躲避，后看到母亲开心表演，同学们鼓掌欢呼，还有人称赞母亲有才华，体现作者从尴尬到因母亲表演受认可态度的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“结果证明，我妈妈非常擅长表演。”可知，第二段可描写母亲在教学及表演中的表现。母亲擅长教学，同学们学得快，冬季集市表演大获成功，作者为母亲骄傲并表达感谢，母亲回应，升华主题，突出作者对母亲的理解与认可。 2.续写线索：作者对母亲表演难以置信——看到母亲开心及同学反应——母亲擅长教学 ——冬季集市表演成功——作者向母亲表达感谢——母亲回应 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①松开： uncover/loosen ②鼓掌：clap /applaud ③教学：teach /instruct 情绪类： ①尴尬的：embarrassed /awkward ②高兴的：glad/happy /delighted 【点睛】【高分句型 1】As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.”（运用了 as引导的时间状语从句以及省略引导词that的宾语从句作be glad的宾语） 【高分句型 2】I can see why you might have been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.（运用了why引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?

In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by an englishman and an american in the same year. But IT was the american who first developed IT on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because I was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic colors. These plastic colors were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children are now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down. So IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term White pollution to refer to plastic pollution. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago.
