For me, environmental education didn’t begin in a classroom. It began at home with my mother. As a first-generation economically disadvantaged Mexican-American, knowledge was a tool for life and curiosity was my guide. Before public school and textbooks, my mother was my first teacher. She reminded us that Spanish wasn’t just a language. It was a gift. Learning to write and speak it meant connecting to our roots and understanding the beautiful blend of languages and cultures around the world. My early relationship with environmentalism was formed through small moments. I didn’t grow up going on nature hikes or camping trips. I grew up falling in love with the Discovery Channel and Nat Geo, studying animals and ecosystems I had never touched. I saw biologists, conservationists, and environmental storytellers on screen. I admired them. I quietly dreamed of doing what they did. But a part of me believed I could never do that. I wasn’t smart enough. I believed that kids like me growing up in poverty weren’t meant to be on screen, let alone in science. Years later, I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Environmental Science. But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to create something of my own. I built QueerBrownVegan, a digital home connecting environmental education, storytelling, and cultural memory. What started as one page became a community — a space where people who looked like me, felt like me, and dreamed like me could learn, grow, and express environmentalism in their own voice. Eventually that dream I had as a kid came back. But I knew I couldn’t wait for someone to discover me. So I made my own show. I launched a digital web series called Teaching Climate Together — a DIY project with a vision bigger than the cost, driven by storytelling, passion, and a camera that never stopped recording. 4. What did Isaias’s mother tell him to do? A. To stay curious always. B. To use knowledge as a tool for life. C. To pass on cultural traditions. D. To understand the world through language. 5. How did Isaias’s early link with environmentalism start? A. By joining nature hikes. B. By watching TV shows. C. By admiring on-screen scientists. D. By dreaming of a science career. 6. What can be inferred from QueerBrownVegan? A. It moved from online to offline. B. It mainly aimed at environmental education. C. It was created before his graduation. D. It gained public attention. 7. Which words can best describe Isaias? A. Determined and creative. B. Thoughtful and talkative. C. Intelligent and patient. D. Outgoing and modest. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以第一人称叙述了作者Isaias Hernandez的成长经历，描述了他如何从家庭的文化启蒙起步，通过媒体建立环保意识，克服自我怀疑完成学业，并最终自主创建环保教育平台和节目的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She reminded us that Spanish wasn’t just a language. It was a gift. Learning to write and speak it meant connecting to our roots and understanding the beautiful blend of languages and cultures around the world.(她提醒我们，西班牙语不仅仅是一门语言。它是一份礼物。学习书写和说它意味着扎根我们的根源，并理解世界各地语言与文化的美好融合。)”可知，母亲教导他要传承自身文化与传统。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I didn’t grow up going on nature hikes or camping trips. I grew up falling in love with the Discovery Channel and Nat Geo, studying animals and ecosystems I had never touched.(我成长过程中没有参加过自然远足或露营。我爱上了探索频道和国家地理，研究我从未接触过的动物和生态系统。)”可知，他早期与环保的联系是通过看电视节目开始的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What started as one page became a community — a space where people who looked like me, felt like me, and dreamed like me could learn, grow, and express environmentalism in their own voice.(这个最初只有一个页面的平台变成了一个社区，一个和我相似、有同感、有同样梦想的人可以学习、成长、用自己的声音表达环保理念的地方。)”可知，QueerBrownVegan获得了公众关注与认可。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I wanted to create something of my own. I built QueerBrownVegan, a digital home connecting environmental education, storytelling, and cultural memory.(我想创造属于自己的东西。于是我创建了QueerBrownVegan，一个连接环境教育、故事讲述与文化记忆的数字家园。)”和第四段“I launched a digital web series called Teaching Climate Together — a DIY project with a vision bigger than the cost, driven by storytelling, passion, and a camera that never stopped recording.(我推出了一部名为《Teaching Climate Together 》的数字网络系列节目 —— 这是一个DIY项目，其愿景远超成本投入，它由故事讲述、热情与一台从未停止录制的相机驱动着。)”可知，Isaias Hernandez有决心且富有创造力。故选A项。 C The value of the dictionary depends upon your purpose. If the idea is to teach word meanings or to help students understand, then provide the meanings directly. The whole process of looking up words and choosing among meanings increases “cognitive load (认知负荷)”. That is, the dictionary tasks pull attention from learning the word meanings. It wastes precious class time, too. Therefore, many textbooks include meanings of key vocabulary. Technology also allows students to click on a word to find its meanings. In this way, publishers provide access to meanings without requiring students to struggle with dictionaries. That said, there is more to it than that. Students should be learning to turn to the dictionary during reading when they encounter difficulties, and it is rewarding to help them overcome this cognitive load challenge. All students can gain from dictionaries, but the benefits of dictionary use are most obvious for English learners because of their limited knowledge of English vocabulary. However, dictionary instruction can be pretty bad, with a lot of focus on looking up words and little energy devoted to making sense of meanings or choosing the relevant ones. Technology has relieved the “looking up” pressure but the rest of it is still an issue. Kids simply don’t know how to make sense of what they find in dictionaries — the benefits of gaining information from each of the various definitions, and the need to look up additional words to make sense of a meaning. For instance, if you look up “joy”, you will quickly encounter the word “emotion”, which is a harder word than the one you were trying to figure out. Dictionary instruction can provide a great opportunity to explore the grammatical relations among words, too. Such dictionary lessons will not directly increase vocabulary, but they will provide students with the proficiency (熟练) that they need to solve unknown words during reading, which is valuable. 8. Why do textbooks add key word explanations? A. To prevent student distraction. B. To speed up the learning process. C. To build a vocabulary system. D. To remove unnecessary tasks. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly say about technology? A. It simplifies word lookup. B. It makes dictionary skills unnecessary. C. It shouldn’t replace dictionary use. D. It reduces learning challenges. 10. What is the problem with dictionary instruction? A. It stops at turning pages. B. It consumes much time. C. It focuses on new words. D. It assumes prior word knowledge. 11. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Dictionaries: A Tool for Every Student B. Moving Beyond Just Looking Up Words C. The Hidden Challenges in Dictionary Use D. Technology’s Role in Language Learning 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了词典在教学中的价值与局限，分析了技术如何改变查词方式，指出了当前词典教学中普遍存在的“重查词、轻理解”的问题，并提出了改进词典教学以培养学生实际语言能力的方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The whole process of looking up words and choosing among meanings increases “cognitive load ( 认知负荷 )”. That is, the dictionary tasks pull attention from learning the word meanings. It wastes precious class time, too. Therefore, many textbooks include meanings of key vocabulary.(查单词并在释义中做选择的整个过程会增加“认知负荷”。也就是说，查词典的任务会分散学生学习单词含义的注意力，也会浪费宝贵的课堂时间。因此，许多教材会附上重点词汇的释义。)”可知，教材添加重点单词解释是为了省去不必要的查词任务。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Technology also allows students to click on a word to find its meanings. In this way, publishers provide access to meanings without requiring students to struggle with dictionaries. That said, there is more to it than that. Students should be learning to turn to the dictionary during reading when they encounter difficulties, and it is rewarding to help them overcome this cognitive load challenge.(科技还能让学生点击单词查看释义。通过这种方式，出版商为学生提供了获取词义途径，而不必让他们费力查阅词典。话虽如此，事情远不止于此。学生在阅读中遇到困难时，应当学会主动查阅词典，帮助他们克服这种认知负荷的挑战，是很有意义的。)”可知，本段说明技术不应取代词典的使用。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, dictionary instruction can be pretty bad, with a lot of focus on looking up words and little energy devoted to making sense of meanings or choosing the relevant ones.(然而，词典教学可能很糟糕，大多只关注查单词，很少花精力去理解释义或选择相关释义。)”可知，词典教学的问题在于只停留在查词层面。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Dictionary instruction can provide a great opportunity to explore the grammatical relations among words, too. Such dictionary lessons will not directly increase vocabulary, but they will provide students with the proficiency (熟练) that they need to solve unknown words during reading, which is valuable.(词典教学也能为探究单词之间的语法关系提供绝佳机会。这类词典使用课程虽不会直接增加词汇量，但会培养学生在阅读中解决生词所需的熟练能力，这一点很有价值。)”可知，文章指出查词典不应只停留在“查找单词”，更要学会理解释义、处理信息、提升阅读能力。所以B项“Moving Beyond Just Looking Up Words(不止于查单词)”符合文意。故选B项。 D In an age where new fitness approaches appear almost daily, one movement is drawing people’s attention: walking backward. This unusual method is gaining popularity online and in the health circles. Fitness professionals share their backward movement on Instagram and TikTok, building a community of fitness lovers who have confidence in its benefits. But does this approach have staying power? The advantages are more than just surface. Research shows backward walking activates overlooked (被忽视的) muscles, improving muscle balance and joint stability. For those with knee pain, it offers a low-impact choice that still strengthens legs and improves staying power, as the backward movement reduces joint pain while keeping workout intensity (强度). It also keeps balance and coordination (协调) by forcing the brain to adapt to new movement patterns, sharpening cognitive function, focus, and spatial awareness — turning a simple walk into a full-body and mind workout. Cardiovascular benefits shouldn’t be overlooked, either. This effort can improve your heart rate just as effectively as forward walking, making it just right for busy schedules. Surprisingly, walking backward isn’t new: historical records show that it dates back to East Asian cultural ceremonies centuries ago, valued for benefits from physical fitness to mental sharpness. These traditions long recognized their power to balance body and mind, making today’s fitness approach a reappearance of ancient wisdom. Fitting it into daily life is simple. Beginners should start on flat, safe surfaces — like a quiet park path — to master the movement without the risk of falling over. Focus on short periods of time and gradually increase the time as confidence grows. Many lovers fit backward walking into regular routines, changing between forward and backward movements to keep workouts dynamic (动态的). More than a TikTok fashion, walking backward unites modern science with time-tested practice. It’s a workout that challenges the body, sharpens the mind, and connects us to age-old wellness traditions. With its proven benefits and easy integration, this fashion isn’t just a passing one — it truly has legs. 12. Why is walking backward gaining popularity recently? A. It is promoted by fitness experts online. B. It helps people lose weight quickly. C. It attracts a community of fitness lovers. D. It is highly praised by joint pain patients. 13. What is one benefit of backward walking mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It cures patients of serious knee injuries. B. It reduces the intensity of regular workouts. C. It uses more energy than other workout routines. D. It improves physical balance and brain function. 14. What is the author’s main purpose of mentioning “East Asian cultural ceremonies” in Paragraph 3? A. To show backward walking has a long history. B. To prove East Asians are good at fitness. C. To explain why backward walking is popular online. D. To compare ancient and modern fitness methods. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Backward walking is a new fitness trend online. B. Backward walking is the key to effective workouts. C. Backward walking is a useful fitness method with a long history. D. How to practice backward walking safely as a beginner. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了倒走如今成为流行健身方式，受健身专家推广。它能锻炼肌肉、保护关节、提升平衡与大脑功能，历史悠久且源于东亚古礼。简单易练，结合科学与传统，并非一时潮流。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fitness professionals share their backward movement on Instagram and TikTok, building a community of fitness lovers who have confidence in its benefits. But does this approach have staying power? (健身专业人士在Instagram和TikTok上分享他们的倒走动作，从而建立起一个由热爱健身的人组成的社群，这些人对这种训练方式的益处充满信心。但这种方式是否能持久呢？)”可知，最近倒着走变得流行起来是因为它受到了网络上健身专家的推广。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It also keeps balance and coordination (协调) by forcing the brain to adapt to new movement patterns, sharpening cognitive function, focus, and spatial awareness — turning a simple walk into a full-body and mind workout. (它还能通过迫使大脑适应新的运动模式来保持平衡与协调，从而增强认知功能、专注力和空间感知能力——将简单的行走变成全身和大脑的综合锻炼.)”可知，倒走的一个好处是能提高身体平衡能力和大脑功能。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Surprisingly, walking backward isn’t new: historical records show that it dates back to East Asian cultural ceremonies centuries ago, valued for benefits from physical fitness to mental sharpness. (令人惊讶的是，倒着行走并非什么新鲜事物：历史记载表明，这种行为可追溯到数世纪前的东亚文化仪式中，当时人们认为它具有从增强体质到提高思维敏捷度等诸多益处.)”可知，作者提及“东亚文化仪式”的主要目的是展示倒走的步行方式历史悠久。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an age where new fitness approaches appear almost daily, one movement is drawing people’s attention: walking backward. This unusual method is gaining popularity online and in the health circles. Fitness professionals share their backward movement on Instagram and TikTok, building a community of fitness lovers who have confidence in its benefits. But does this approach have staying power?

Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and local cultures, believed plants responded to energy, emotion, and sound. In the 1840s, German professor Gustav Fechner suggested plants might have feelings. ___16___ Technically, plants don’t have ears or a nervous system, so they don’t “hear” in the traditional sense. However, studies have shown plants can detect vibrations (振动) in their environment — including sound waves produced by human speech or music. ___17___ For instance, South Korean researchers found certain plant genes (基因) responded positively to classical music and human voice frequencies. Some studies suggest that plants respond more favorably to female voices than male voices due to differences in pitch (音高) and frequency. Music types like classical or jazz have shown positive results, while loud rock music may stress plants. Ultimately, regularity and loudness may influence the result. ___18___ ___19___ However, there are enough facts to suggest that plants are sensitive to their environments — including sound. Whether it’s the vibration from your voice or the regular care that comes from daily contact, your plants just might benefit. Talking to plants may not be magic, but it does encourage a deeper connection with nature, mindful gardening, and perhaps even a little extra vibrational help. ___20___ Either way, your plant may thank you in its own green way. So go ahead — speak softly some words of encouragement to your favorite leafy green plant. A. Genes play an important role in plants’ growth. B. Nobody has observed plants react to external factors. C. You might rely on science or just care for plants well. D. We haven’t proven talking to plants directly speeds growth. E. They can detect and respond to sounds like speech or music. F. Gentle and calm sounds seem to create vibrations that are more beneficial for plants. G. That laid the basis for the idea of a psychological connection between humans and nature. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了与植物交谈的古老信念，并从科学角度解释了植物如何探测和响应声音振动，同时指出这种活动可能带来的益处。 【16题详解】 空前“In the 1840s, German professor Gustav Fechner suggested plants might have feelings.(在19世纪40年代，德国教授古斯塔夫·费希纳提出植物可能具有情感。)”提到植物可能具有情感这一理论，空白处需要填入与此相关的结论或延伸。G项“That laid the basis for the idea of a psychological connection between humans and nature.(这为人类与自然之间存在心理联系的观点奠定了基础。)”中的“That”指代前文Fechner的观点，说明其历史意义，与上文衔接自然，且能结束本段论述。故选G。 【17题详解】 空前“However, studies have shown plants can detect vibrations (振动) in their environment — including sound waves produced by human speech or music.(不过，研究显示植物能够感知其所处环境中的振动——包括人类说话或演奏音乐所产生的声波。 例如，韩国研究人员发现某些植物基因对古典音乐和人类声音的频率会有积极的反应。)”指出“研究表明植物能探测环境中的振动，包括人声或音乐产生的声音波”，空后以“例如”引出具体研究。空白处需要填入一个承上启下的句子，进一步说明植物对声音的反应。E项“They can detect and respond to sounds like speech or music.(它们能够感知并响应诸如说话或音乐之类的声音。)”直接承接前句的“探测”，并引出“响应”的概念，为后文的例子做铺垫。故选E。 【18题详解】 空处位于第三段末尾。空前“Some studies suggest that plants respond more favorably to female voices than male voices due to differences in pitch (音高) and frequency. Music types like classical or jazz have shown positive results, while loud rock music may stress plants. Ultimately, regularity and loudness may influence the result.(一些研究表明，植物对女性声音的反应比对男性声音的反应更为积极，这是因为声音的音调和频率存在差异。像古典音乐或爵士乐这类音乐类型显示出积极的效果，而响亮的摇滚音乐可能会对植物产生压力。最终，规律性和音量大小可能会对结果产生影响。)”讨论了植物对不同声音（如女声与男声、古典乐与摇滚乐）的反应差异，并指出规律性和音量可能影响结果。空白处需要填入一个能概括或总结本段大意的句子。F项“Gentle and calm sounds seem to create vibrations that are more beneficial for plants.(轻柔而平静的声音似乎能产生更有益于植物的振动。)”精准概括了本段关于有益声音特征的论述，作为段末结论句恰当。故选F。 【19题详解】 空处位于第四段开头。后文“However, there are enough facts to suggest that plants are sensitive to their environments — including sound.(然而，有足够多的事实表明，植物对它们所处的环境（包括声音）是敏感的。)”以“However”转折，引出“有足够事实表明植物对环境敏感”。因此，空白处应填入一个与后文构成转折关系的否定陈述。D项“We haven’t proven talking to plants directly speeds growth.(我们尚未证明直接与植物对话能加快其生长速度。)”是一个否定事实，与后文的肯定性论述形成鲜明对比，逻辑通顺。故选D。 【20题详解】 空前“Talking to plants may not be magic, but it does encourage a deeper connection with nature, mindful gardening, and perhaps even a little extra vibrational help.(与植物交流或许并非什么神奇之举，但它确实能增进人与自然的紧密联系、促进有意识的园艺活动，甚至可能带来些许额外的“能量”助力。)”提到与植物交谈的好处，空后“Either way, your plant may thank you in its own green way.(不管怎样，你的植物或许会以自己独特的绿色方式来感谢你。)”说“无论哪种方式，你的植物可能会感谢你”。空白处需要填入一个能引出“两种方式”的句子。C项“You might rely on science or just care for plants well.(你可以依靠科学知识，也可以精心照料植物。)”提出了两种可能的态度或做法，与后文“Either way”直接呼应，衔接紧密。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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I’m interested in a career in ___21___, so I decided to volunteer for service at the local hospital.

At 16, however, life took a big turn. His parents found new jobs in Ohio, forcing the whole family to move there. This wasn’t an easy choice — it was tough to leave behind every familiar thing he cared about. Along with the move, a new school was waiting for Kenneth. Every time he thought about saying goodbye to his old school, a sense of sadness came over him. The changes ahead — like the new city, the new school, and the strangers he’d soon meet — filled him with fear. He had no idea if he’d be able to fit in, or if loneliness would find him once he got there. Following a long cross-country journey, the family finally arrived in Ohio and settled down. When the day came for him to start at his new school, Kenneth’s mind swarmed with worries. What if the other students were unfriendly — even cold? And what if he couldn’t make a single friend there? The next morning, Kenneth was driven to school by his parents. The car stopped at the big brick building, and his heart beat fast. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and got out. He anxiously walked toward the school gate with every step. It felt like he was stepping into a new world. A friendly school secretary went to greet Kenneth when he entered. Noticing how nervous and shy he looked, she decided to start by showing him around the school yard. She led him past a modern computer lab, a science lab, and a gym with a basketball court — there, Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. His mood lifted a little. Kenneth began to think the school was nice, and he started feeling a little better. Finally, they arrived at the teaching building and walked toward Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started to race again. The school secretary took him to the door with an encouraging smile. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 With a deep breath, Kenneth entered the classroom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the days went by, Kenneth realized his earlier worries were unnecessary._ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 With a deep breath, Kenneth entered the classroom. He noticed every pair of eyes turned to him — for a second, the room fell quiet, and he could feel his cheeks growing warm. He tried to calm down, knowing he needed to introduce himself. Even though his voice trembled, he struggled through a short explanation of who he was. When his introduction ended, the class burst into warm claps and cheers. Their happiness at his arrival was both a surprise and a relief for Kenneth. He became a bit less nervous, and started to think he might actually make friends here. As the days went by, Kenneth realized his earlier worries were unnecessary. The classes were interesting, and the teachers were always ready to help. During breaks, kind classmates crowded around him — they talked about what they loved, and had fun together. After school, some students asked him to play basketball in the school gym. Kenneth saw that change wasn’t always bad. It was scary at first, but it had brought him new experiences and friendships. He also learned something else: he was stronger than he thought, and he could get used to new situations. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了肯尼斯在加州长大，16岁时因父母工作变动不得不搬到俄亥俄州。他十分不舍熟悉的一切，对新学校和陌生环境充满恐惧与不安。刚到新学校时他紧张又害羞，在秘书的带领下心情稍有缓解。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“肯尼斯深吸一口气，走进了教室”可知，第一段可描写肯尼斯自我介绍时，同学们热情的掌声让他放松不少。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，肯尼斯意识到他之前的担忧是不必要的”可知，第二段可描写后来肯尼斯发现课程有趣、老师热心、同学友善，还交到了新朋友。他意识到改变并不可怕，自己也比想象中更坚强，能慢慢适应新环境。 2.续写线索：肯尼斯走进教室——自我介绍——同学们热情——肯尼斯放松——肯尼斯适应环境——肯尼斯感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②结束：end/finish/complete ③思考：think/ponder 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/stressed ②令人害怕的：scary/frightening 【点睛】[高分句型1] Even though his voice trembled, he struggled through a short explanation of who he was.（运用了even though引导让步状语从句） [高分句型2] When his introduction ended, the class burst into warm claps and cheers.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高一下学期开学考试 英语试题 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

It began at home with my mother. As a first-generation economically disadvantaged Mexican-American, knowledge was a tool for life and curiosity was my guide. Before public school and textbooks, my mother was my first teacher. She reminded us that Spanish wasn’t just a language. It was a gift. Learning to write and speak it meant connecting to our roots and understanding the beautiful blend of languages and cultures around the world. My early relationship with environmentalism was formed through small moments. I didn’t grow up going on nature hikes or camping trips. I grew up falling in love with the Discovery Channel and Nat Geo, studying animals and ecosystems I had never touched. I saw biologists, conservationists, and environmental storytellers on screen. I admired them. I quietly dreamed of doing what they did. But a part of me believed I could never do that. I wasn’t smart enough. I believed that kids like me growing up in poverty weren’t meant to be on screen, let alone in science. Years later, I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Environmental Science. But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to create something of my own. I built QueerBrownVegan, a digital home connecting environmental education, storytelling, and cultural memory. What started as one page became a community — a space where people who looked like me, felt like me, and dreamed like me could learn, grow, and express environmentalism in their own voice. Eventually, that dream I had as a kid came back. But I knew I couldn’t wait for someone to discover me. So I made my own show. I launched a digital web series called Teaching Climate Together — a DIY project with a vision bigger than the cost, driven by storytelling, passion, and a camera that never stopped recording. 4. What did Isaias’s mother tell him to do? A. To stay curious always. B. To use knowledge as a tool for life. C. To pass on cultural traditions. D. To understand the world through language. 5. How did Isaias’s early link with environmentalism start? A. By joining nature hikes. B. By watching TV shows. C. By admiring on-screen scientists. D. By dreaming of a science career. 6. What can be inferred from QueerBrownVegan? A. It moved from online to offline. B. It mainly aimed at environmental education. C. It was created before his graduation. D. It gained public attention. 7. Which words can best describe Isaias? A. Determined and creative. B. Thoughtful and talkative. C. Intelligent and patient. D. Outgoing and modest. C The value of the dictionary depends upon your purpose. If the idea is to teach word meanings or to help students understand then provide the meanings directly. The whole process of looking up words and choosing among meanings increases “cognitive load (认知负荷)”. That is, the dictionary tasks pull attention from learning the word meanings. It wastes precious class time, too. Therefore, many textbooks include meanings of key vocabulary. Technology also allows students to click on a word to find its meanings. In this way, publishers provide access to meanings without requiring students to struggle with dictionaries. That said, there is more to it than that. Students should be learning to turn to the dictionary during reading when they encounter difficulties, and it is rewarding to help them overcome this cognitive load challenge. All students can gain from dictionaries, but the benefits of dictionary use are most obvious for English learners because of their limited knowledge of English vocabulary. However, dictionary instruction can be pretty bad, with a lot of focus on looking up words and little energy devoted to making sense of meanings or choosing the relevant ones. Technology has relieved the “looking up” pressure but the rest of it is still an issue. Kids simply don’t know how to make sense of what they find in dictionaries — the benefits of gaining information from each of the various definitions, and the need to look up additional words to make sense of a meaning. For instance, if you look up “joy”, you will quickly encounter the word “emotion”, which is a harder word than the one you were trying to figure out. Dictionary instruction can provide a great opportunity to explore the grammatical relations among words, too. Such dictionary lessons will not directly increase vocabulary, but they will provide students with the proficiency (熟练) that they need to solve unknown words during reading, which is valuable. 8. Why do textbooks add key word explanations? A. To prevent student distraction. B. To speed up the learning process. C. To build a vocabulary system. D. To remove unnecessary tasks. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly say about technology? A. It simplifies word lookup. B. It makes dictionary skills unnecessary. C. It shouldn’t replace dictionary use. D. It reduces learning challenges. 10. What is the problem with dictionary instruction? A. It stops at turning pages. B. It consumes much time. C. It focuses on new words. D. It assumes prior word knowledge. 11. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Dictionaries: A Tool for Every Student B. Moving Beyond Just Looking Up Words C. The Hidden Challenges in Dictionary Use D. Technology’s Role in Language Learning D In an age where new fitness approaches appear almost daily one movement is drawing people’s attention: walking backward. This unusual method is gaining popularity online and in the health circles. Fitness professionals share their backward movement on Instagram and TikTok, building a community of fitness lovers who have confidence in its benefits. But does this approach have staying power? The advantages are more than just surface. Research shows backward walking activates overlooked (被忽视的) muscles, improving muscle balance and joint stability. For those with knee pain, it offers a low-impact choice that still strengthens legs and improves staying power, as the backward movement reduces joint pain while keeping workout intensity (强度). It also keeps balance and coordination (协调) by forcing the brain to adapt to new movement patterns, sharpening cognitive function, focus, and spatial awareness — turning a simple walk into a full-body and mind workout. Cardiovascular benefits shouldn’t be overlooked, either. This effort can improve your heart rate just as effectively as forward walking, making it just right for busy schedules. Surprisingly, walking backward isn’t new: historical records show that it dates back to East Asian cultural ceremonies centuries ago, valued for benefits from physical fitness to mental sharpness. These traditions long recognized their power to balance body and mind, making today’s fitness approach a reappearance of ancient wisdom. Fitting it into daily life is simple. Beginners should start on flat, safe surfaces — like a quiet park path — to master the movement without the risk of falling over. Focus on short periods of time and gradually increase the time as confidence grows. Many lovers fit backward walking into regular routines, changing between forward and backward movements to keep workouts dynamic (动态的). More than a TikTok fashion, walking backward unites modern science with time-tested practice.

Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and local cultures, believed plants responded to energy, emotion, and sound. In the 1840s, German professor Gustav Fechner suggested plants might have feelings. ___16___ Technically, plants don’t have ears or a nervous system, so they don’t “hear” in the traditional sense. However, studies have shown plants can detect vibrations (振动) in their environment — including sound waves produced by human speech or music. ___17___ For instance, South Korean researchers found certain plant genes (基因) responded positively to classical music and human voice frequencies. Some studies suggest that plants respond more favorably to female voices than male voices due to differences in pitch (音高) and frequency. Music types like classical or jazz have shown positive results, while loud rock music may stress plants. Ultimately, regularity and loudness may influence the result. ___18___ ___19___ However, there are enough facts to suggest that plants are sensitive to their environments — including sound. Whether it’s the vibration from your voice or the regular care that comes from daily contact, your plants just might benefit. Talking to plants may not be magic, but it does encourage a deeper connection with nature, mindful gardening, and perhaps even a little extra vibrational help. ___20___ Either way, your plant may thank you in its own green way. So go ahead — speak softly some words of encouragement to your favorite leafy green plant. A. Genes play an important role in plants’ growth. B. Nobody has observed plants react to external factors. C. You might rely on science or just care for plants well. D. We haven’t proven talking to plants directly speeds growth. E. They can detect and respond to sounds like speech or music. F. Gentle and calm sounds seem to create vibrations that are more beneficial for plants. G. That laid the basis for the idea of a psychological connection between humans and nature. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I’m interested in a career in ___21___, so I decided to volunteer for service at the local hospital.

At 16, however, life took a big turn. His parents found new jobs in Ohio, forcing the whole family to move there. This wasn’t an easy choice — it was tough to leave behind every familiar thing he cared about. Along with the move, a new school was waiting for Kenneth. Every time he thought about saying goodbye to his old school, a sense of sadness came over him. The changes ahead — like the new city, the new school, and the strangers he’d soon meet — filled him with fear. He had no idea if he’d be able to fit in, or if loneliness would find him once he got there. Following a long cross-country journey, the family finally arrived in Ohio and settled down. When the day came for him to start at his new school, Kenneth’s mind swarmed with worries. What if the other students were unfriendly — even cold? And what if he couldn’t make a single friend there? The next morning, Kenneth was driven to school by his parents. The car stopped at the big brick building, and his heart beat fast. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and got out. He anxiously walked toward the school gate with every step. It felt like he was stepping into a new world. A friendly school secretary went to greet Kenneth when he entered. Noticing how nervous and shy he looked, she decided to start by showing him around the school yard. She led him past a modern computer lab, a science lab, and a gym with a basketball court — there, Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. His mood lifted a little. Kenneth began to think the school was nice, and he started feeling a little better. Finally, they arrived at the teaching building and walked toward Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started to race again. The school secretary took him to the door with an encouraging smile. 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。 With a deep breath, Kenneth entered the classroom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the days went by, Kenneth realized his earlier worries were unnecessary._ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
