Led by industry professionals, our programs build skills, confidence, and teamwork through training, performances, and workshops.(Stagecoach为4至18岁的青少年提供一个富有创意、充满支持的空间，探索歌唱、舞蹈和表演。在行业专业人士的带领下，我们的项目通过培训、表演和研讨会培养技能、增强自信和团队合作能力。)”可知，Stagecoach主要提供歌唱、舞蹈、表演相关的艺术培训，其性质是艺术教育中心。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Course Arrangement部分“Early Stages (4-6 years)(早期阶段（4-6岁）)”、“Main Stages (7-14 years)(主要阶段（7-14岁）)”和“Further Stages (15+ years)(进阶阶段（15岁以上）)”可知，Stagecoach的课程是按照4-6岁、7-14岁、15岁以上的年龄组来安排的。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Quick Facts部分“Fee: $20 per week(费用：每周20美元)”、“Period: 13 classes from September to November(时间：9月至11月13节课)”以及Highlights部分“Sibling Discount-50%: We offer a fantastic 50% discount for siblings! It means that if one of your kids joins at full price, the rest of your kids will join at half price.(兄弟姐妹折扣——50%：我们为兄弟姐妹提供绝佳的50%折扣！这意味着如果你的一个孩子以全价报名，其他孩子将以半价报名。)”可知，每周费用20美元，9月至11月13节课，共13周，一个孩子全价费用为20×13=260美元，双胞胎中另一个孩子半价为130美元，总计260+130=390美元。故选B项。 B Sangeeta had imagined herself in a well-equipped classroom filled with eager students before she received her posting in a village school. However, this was not the case. Out of 130 children enrolled (已注册的), fewer than 30 attended the school regularly, and there were only three teachers in total, each one covering several subjects, often outside their own area of expertise. After gathering her thoughts, Sangeeta decided to start with the attendance rate. “After school hours, I would go door to door in the afternoons. I sat with parents, explaining why education mattered, and why it was worth sending their children to school instead of making them work,” she shares. “It was a battle — I begged at times, I reasoned at others, and I kept asking them to send their children to school at least one more day. Slowly, attendance rose to 100 students. It wasn’t an easy victory.” However, this promising period was short-lived, as Sangeeta soon discovered that traditional teaching methods seemed ineffective. “The children didn’t want to just sit and listen,” she recalls. “They brightened up when I told stories, sang songs, or played games with them.” Thus, she began using folk tales, riddles, and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable. Over time, the children started participating eagerly. Additionally; Sangeeta often eats midday meals with her students, suggesting that when they see her eating from the same kind of plate, they feel she is one of them. During seasonal fevers, she keeps basic medicines in the staffroom. She adds that on days when rice is served, she avoids giving it to sick children since it is believed to aggravate (使加重) colds. Instead, she shares her light meal with them before giving medicine. For Sangeeta, teaching has never been just a job; it is a mission. She says, “When I started, the classrooms were almost empty. Today, those are full of laughter and learning. That is my biggest reward.” 4. How might Sangeeta feel when she first arrived at the school? A. Hopeful. B. Disappointed. C. Inspired. D. Regretful. 5. What did Sangeeta find challenging? A. Teaching several subjects at once. B. Adapting to life in the countryside. C. Getting more educational resources. D. Involving more students in education. 6. Why did Sangeeta adjust her teaching method? A. To interest students in learning. B. To encourage independent learning. C. To reduce lesson preparation stress. D. To strengthen traditional culture learning. 7. Which of the following can best describe Sangeeta? A. Cautious and strict. B. Practical and honest. C. Devoted and caring. D. Emotional and humorous. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了乡村教师Sangeeta初到学校面对恶劣条件，努力提高出勤率、改进教学方法、关爱学生，坚守教育使命的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sangeeta had imagined herself in a well-equipped classroom filled with eager students before she received her posting in a village school. However, this was not the case.(Sangeeta在被分配到乡村学校之前，曾想象自己在一间设备齐全、满是求知若渴的学生的教室里。然而，事实并非如此)”可知，现实和她的预想差距极大，由此可推断出她刚到学校时会感到失望。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Out of 130 children enrolled (已注册的), fewer than 30 attended the school regularly, (在130名注册学生中，只有不到30名学生按时到校)”和第二段中“Slowly, attendance rose to 100 students. It wasn’t an easy victory.(慢慢地，出勤人数上升到100人。这并不是一场轻松的胜利)”可知，让更多孩子接受教育、提升出勤率是Sangeeta面临的难题。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, this promising period was short-lived, as Sangeeta soon discovered that traditional teaching methods seemed ineffective. “The children didn’t want to just sit and listen,” she recalls.(然而，这段充满希望的时期转瞬即逝，因为Sangeeta很快发现传统教学方法似乎收效甚微。“孩子们不想只是坐着听，”她回忆道)”和“Thus, she began using folk tales, riddles, and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable.(因此，她开始运用民间故事、谜语和互动活动让学习变得有趣)”可知，她调整教学方法是为了让学生对学习产生兴趣。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“After school hours, I would go door to door in the afternoons. I sat with parents, explaining why education mattered (放学之后，下午我会挨家挨户走访，和家长坐在一起，解释教育的重要性)”，第四段中“During seasonal fevers, she keeps basic medicines in the staffroom. She adds that on days when rice is served, she avoids giving it to sick children since it is believed to aggravate (使加重) colds. Instead, she shares her light meal with them before giving medicine.(在季节性发烧高发期，她会在员工休息室备好基础药品。她补充说，在供应米饭的日子里，她会避免让生病的孩子吃米饭，因为人们认为米饭会加重感冒症状。相反，她会在给孩子服药前，先与他们分享自己的简餐)”以及最后一段中“For Sangeeta, teaching has never been just a job; it is a mission.(对Sangeeta来说，教书从来不止是一份工作，而是一项使命)”可推知，她全心投入教学，还悉心关爱学生，是一位有奉献精神、体贴关怀学生的老师。故选C项。 C Historically, education has always been a human-operated process. Teachers were responsible for delivering lessons, checking students’ grades, and managing classroom environments. However, the rise of digital technology led to the development of online learning platforms, digital classrooms, and online courses. And the combination of AI promises to take these advances to an entirely new level. Every student has a unique learning style, speed, and set of strengths and weaknesses. Traditional education systems often struggle to meet these individual needs due to class size, limited resources, and the one-size-fits-all approach. AI could change that. With AI-driven learning platforms, students can work through material at their own speed. For example, platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and Duolingo use AI to analyze student progress and offer content, quizzes, and exercises made for them. Traditionally, teachers are often busy with tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and tracking student progress. AI can ease this burden by automating (使自动化) many of these tasks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on student engagement and instruction. For example, AI tools can grade homework, exams, and quizzes much faster than a human educator. This is especially valuable for large classes where individual grading might take days or even weeks. Moreover, AI can help teachers with lesson planning by analyzing vast amounts of educational content and suggesting resources that best match student learning needs. With AI, students who have trouble with language, disabilities, or socio-economic challenges have more opportunities to receive education. AI-powered tools, such as Google Classroom and Microsoft Word, are developed to support students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Moreover, AI tools are making it easier for students who can’t see or hear well. Text-to-speech, real-time translation, and sign language identification technologies can break down barriers for students who face challenges in traditional educational environments. Looking ahead, AI’s role in education will continue to develop. As technology advances, we can expect AI to become part of learning platforms, making education more interesting and engaging. 8. What are AI platforms in paragraph 2 mentioned to show? A. AI’s aid in setting learning goals. B. The rapid development of AI technology. C. AI’s role in personalizing learning resources. D. The comparative advantage of traditional education. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. AI’s assistance to educators. B. AI’s possibility of replacing teachers. C. The importance of student engagement. D. Teaching challenges in large classrooms. 10 What can we infer about AI-powered tools according to the text? A. They help lessen (减少) cultural differences. B. They make education more accessible. C. They need further technical improvements. D. They make students’ school life more colourful. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To recommend AI tools and platforms. B. To remind students of AI’s weaknesses. C. To discuss the impact of AI on education. D. To list the advantages of digital technology. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能对教育领域产生的多方面影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“With AI-driven learning platforms, students can work through material at their own speed. For example, platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and Duolingo use AI to analyze student progress and offer content, quizzes, and exercises made for them.(在人工智能驱动的学习平台上，学生可以按照自己的速度学习材料。例如，Coursera、可汗学院和多邻国等平台使用人工智能来分析学生的进度，并为他们提供定制的内容、测验和练习。)”可知，第二段提到的人工智能平台是为了展示人工智能在个性化学习资源方面的作用。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Traditionally, teachers are often busy with tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and tracking student progress. AI can ease this burden by automating (使自动化) many of these tasks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on student engagement and instruction.(传统上，教师经常忙于评分、课程规划和跟踪学生进度等任务。人工智能可以通过使这些任务中的许多自动化来减轻这种负担，为教师腾出宝贵的时间，让他们专注于学生的参与和指导。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是人工智能对教育工作者的帮助。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“With AI, students who have trouble with language, disabilities, or socio-economic challenges have more opportunities to receive education. AI-powered tools, such as Google Classroom and Microsoft Word, are developed to support students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Moreover, AI tools are making it easier for students who can’t see or hear well. Text-to-speech, real-time translation, and sign language identification technologies can break down barriers for students who face challenges in traditional educational environments.(有了人工智能，在语言、残疾或社会经济方面有困难的学生有更多机会接受教育。谷歌教室和微软Word等人工智能工具的开发是为了支持有学习障碍的学生，如阅读障碍、多动症和自闭症。此外，人工智能工具让视力或听力不佳的学生更容易学习。文本转语音、实时翻译和手语识别技术可以为在传统教育环境中面临挑战的学生打破障碍。)”可知，我们可以推断出人工智能工具使教育更容易获得。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, the rise of digital technology led to the development of online learning platforms, digital classrooms, and online courses. And the combination of AI promises to take these advances to an entirely new level.(然而，数字技术的兴起导致了在线学习平台、数字教室和在线课程的发展。人工智能的结合有望将这些进步提升到一个全新的水平。)”以及最后一段“Looking ahead, AI’s role in education will continue to develop. As technology advances, we can expect AI to become part of learning platforms, making education more interesting and engaging.(展望未来，人工智能在教育中的作用将继续发展。随着技术的进步，我们可以期待人工智能成为学习平台的一部分，使教育更加有趣和引人入胜。)”可知，文章主要说明了人工智能对教育领域产生的多方面影响，包括个性化学习资源、减轻教师负担、帮助特殊学生等，且这种影响还将继续发展。可推知，文章的目的是讨论人工智能对教育的影响。故选C。 D Most of us have experienced tooth sensitivity (敏感) — a truly unpleasant feeling caused by cold drinks or sweets — at some point in our lives. Now, researchers from India have published their research in Advaneed Scienee that describes how they developed special nanobots that could solve the dental (牙齿的) problem once and for all. According to South First, the roots of tooth sensitivity lie in the hard tissue in teeth called dentine (the type of bone that our teeth are made of) underneath the hard enamel coating (牙釉质涂层). This layer contains tiny channels (通道，渠道) that lead directly to the teeth’s nerve endings. And so, when enamel wears down, the channels become exposed and any feeling — like those from drinking something very cold or eating something very sweet — will become intense. In order to ease this uncomfortable feeling, many people use desensitizing toothpaste (牙膏), which only offers short-term relief. Seeking a more lasting solution, the researchers created CalBots, tiny nanobots that are applied to the tooth surface and guided by an external magnetic field into the dentine. There, they dig into the exposed channels and block them with a special bioceramic, cement (粘合剂)-like material, offering constant protection to the nerves and effectively relieving sensitivity. As South First reports, researchers first tested CalBots on human teeth. Then they progressed to animal trials. It involved giving mice a choice between cold and room-temperature water. Healthy mice showed no preference, while the mice with tooth sensitivity completely shunned the cold water. However, just 20 minutes after receiving treatment with CalBots, the sensitive mice were freely drinking cold water, showing 100% behavioral recovery. The significance of CalBots goes beyond relieving tooth sensitivity. They could protect teeth from bacteria and may be useful for treating dental injuries or inborn conditions. As clinical trials advance, experts believe this Indian-developed technology may soon become a standard part of dental practices worldwide. 12. Which type of teeth are most likely to be sensitive to cold drinks? A. Those with hardened dentine. B. Those with weakened enamel. C. Those lacking regular examinations. D. Those relying on desensitizing toothpaste. 13. How do CalBots primarily work? A. By filling the exposed channels in dentine. B. By repairing the damaged enamel coating. C. By covering the teeth with protective materials. D. By reshaping the structure of the nerve endings. 14. What does the underlined word “shunned” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Stored. B. Preferred. C. Poured. D. Avoided. 15. What can be inferred about CalBots from the last paragraph? A. They will have broader applications. B. They will go through more experiments. C. They will meet major technological advances. D. They will replace traditional dental treatments. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了印度研究人员研发出纳米机器人CalBots，可有效解决牙齿敏感问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And so, when enamel wears down, the channels become exposed and any feeling — like those from drinking something very cold or eating something very sweet — will become intense.(因此，当牙釉质磨损时，这些通道就会暴露出来，任何感觉——比如喝很冷的东西或吃很甜的东西时的感觉——都会变得强烈)”可知，牙釉质磨损变弱的牙齿最有可能对冷饮敏感。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“There, they dig into the exposed channels and block them with a special bioceramic, cement (粘合剂)-like material, offering constant protection to the nerves and effectively relieving sensitivity.(在那里，它们钻入暴露的通道，用一种特殊的生物陶瓷、类似水泥的材料堵塞通道，为神经提供持续的保护，有效缓解敏感)”可知，CalBots主要通过填充牙本质中暴露的通道来发挥作用。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Healthy mice showed no preference, while the mice with tooth sensitivity completely shunned the cold water. However, just 20 minutes after receiving treatment with CalBots, the sensitive mice were freely drinking cold water, showing 100% behavioral recovery.(健康的老鼠没有表现出偏好，而有牙齿敏感问题的老鼠则完全shunned冷水。然而，在用CalBots治疗仅仅20分钟后，敏感的老鼠就可以自由地喝冷水了，表现出100%的行为恢复)”可知，有牙齿敏感问题的老鼠原本会避开冷水，但在接受CalBots治疗后恢复了正常行为，因此shunned意为“避开”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The significance of CalBots goes beyond relieving tooth sensitivity. They could protect teeth from bacteria and may be useful for treating dental injuries or inborn conditions.(CalBots的意义不仅仅在于缓解牙齿敏感。它们可以保护牙齿免受细菌侵害，并可能有助于治疗牙齿损伤或先天性疾病)”可推断，CalBots将有更广泛的应用。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep inertia (惰性) is a short-term feeling of sleepiness you can experience after waking up from a short sleep or long sleep. Sleep inertia can cause both mental and physical symptoms (症状), such as experiencing slow reaction times and being in a bad mood. These symptoms are most noticeable immediately after waking up. ____16____ However, some people may experience sleep inertia symptoms for up to two hours. When you sleep, your body cycles through several stages of sleep. ____17____ Sleep inertia seems to happen when this awakening process is disrupted (打断). Sleep inertia is more likely to happen when you’ve woken up suddenly from the deep sleep stage, or when you’ve woken up during the middle of the night. ____18____ One idea is that deep sleep brain waves haven’t weakened yet when you wake. Another possibility is that too much adenosine, a sleep chemical, builds up and causes sleepiness. Other experts think sleep inertia may also occur because sudden waking reduces blood flow to the brain. Sleep inertia is common and considered to be a normal experience. But some people may be more likely to experience sleep inertia. For example, duty workers often experience sleep inertia due to irregular sleep schedules. And people with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, often experience sleep disorders. ____19____ To reduce sleep inertia, experts recommend improving your sleep habits. This involves following a regular sleep-wake schedule by going to bed and getting up at the same times every day. ____20____ If you nap during the day, keep the nap under 30minutes, as this helps avoid deep sleep and waking sleepiness. A. These factors can make waking up harder. B. Sleep inertia becomes less common with age. C. In most cases, sleep inertia is a normal experience. D. For most, sleepiness disappears within half an hour. E. Your body needs time to adapt to waking up from sleep. F. Experts have suggested some explanations for sleep inertia. G. It also includes getting at least seven hours of sleep per night. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了睡眠惰性的定义、成因、易发病人群及缓解方法，说明其是正常现象且可通过良好睡眠习惯改善。 【16题详解】 由上文“These symptoms are most noticeable immediately after waking up.(这些症状在醒来后立即最为明显。)”以及下文“However, some people may experience sleep inertia symptoms for up to two hours.(然而，有些人可能会经历长达两小时的睡眠惰性症状。)”可知，前文说明睡眠惰性症状醒来后立即显现，下文用转折指出部分人持续时间长，空格处应说明大多数人的症状持续时间，D项“For most, sleepiness disappears within half an hour.(对大多数人来说，困倦感会在半小时内消失。)”符合此处语境，与下文形成转折对比，其中“sleepiness”对应上文“sleep inertia symptoms”。故选D项。 【17题详解】 由上文“When you sleep, your body cycles through several stages of sleep.(当你睡觉时，你的身体会经历几个睡眠阶段。)”以及下文“Sleep inertia seems to happen when this awakening process is disrupted (打断).(当这个觉醒过程被打断时，似乎就会出现睡眠惰性。)”可知，前文提到睡眠阶段，下文引出觉醒过程被打断的影响，空格处应衔接睡眠与觉醒的过渡，E项“Your body needs time to adapt to waking up from sleep.(你的身体需要时间来适应从睡眠中醒来。)”符合此处语境，其中“waking up from sleep”对应下文“awakening process”，起到承上启下的作用。故选E项。 【18题详解】 由下文“One idea is that deep sleep brain waves haven’t weakened yet when you wake. Another possibility is that too much adenosine, a sleep chemical, builds up and causes sleepiness. Other experts think sleep inertia may also occur because sudden waking reduces blood flow to the brain.(一种观点是，当你醒来时，深度睡眠的脑电波还没有减弱。另一种可能性是，过多的腺苷（一种睡眠化学物质）积累会导致困倦。其他专家认为，睡眠惰性也可能因为突然醒来减少了流向大脑的血液而发生。)”可知，下文列举了专家对睡眠惰性的几种解释，空格处应总起该内容，F项“Experts have suggested some explanations for sleep inertia.(专家们对睡眠惰性提出了一些解释。)”符合此处语境，总起下文的具体解释内容。故选F项。 【19题详解】 由上文“For example, duty workers often experience sleep inertia due to irregular sleep schedules. And people with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, often experience sleep disorders.(例如，值班人员由于不规律的睡眠时间经常会经历睡眠惰性。而有焦虑和抑郁等心理健康问题的人，经常会经历睡眠障碍。)”可知，前文列举了容易经历睡眠惰性的人群及原因，空格处应说明这些原因的影响，A项“These factors can make waking up harder.(这些因素会让醒来变得更困难。)”符合此处语境，其中“These factors”指代上文“irregular sleep schedules”和“sleep disorders”，承接上文逻辑。故选A项。 【20题详解】 由上文“This involves following a regular sleep-wake schedule by going to bed and getting up at the same times every day.(这包括遵循规律的作息时间表，每天在同一时间睡觉和起床。)”以及下文“If you nap during the day, keep the nap under 30minutes, as this helps avoid deep sleep and waking sleepiness.(如果你白天小睡，保持小睡时间在30分钟以内，因为这有助于避免深度睡眠和醒来后的困倦。)”可知，前文和下文均是改善睡眠习惯、减少睡眠惰性的具体建议，空格处应补充相关建议，G项“It also includes getting at least seven hours of sleep per night.(它还包括每晚至少睡7小时。)”符合此处语境，其中It指代上文“improving your sleep habits”，“also”承接上文的作息建议，与下文小睡建议形成并列。故选G项。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A special birthday Mr Lin is an elderly man who lives alone.

With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint (微弱的) mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. (猫咪幼崽) It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted (扭曲) at a strange angle. “Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed .Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak. We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Mr. Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs. Thompson,” he said. Before Mrs. Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时担架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr. Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs. Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath. “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr. Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs. Thompson took the kitten to the vet (兽医) For the rest of the day, we could think of nothing but the kitten and hoped it would be fine. Paragraph 1: Before the school was over, Mr. Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before the school was over, Mr. Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. “Good news, everyone! The kitten is going to be okay,” he announced. We all cheered, relief washing over us. He explained that the vet had set the kitten’s broken leg and given it some medicine. “The kitten is now stable and on the way to recovery,” he added. We were so happy to hear that. Some of us even started planning how we could continue to help the little creature. We decided that we would visit the kitten at the animal hospital during the weekend. In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. It was no longer scared or weak. Instead, it was playing around in its little cage, its eyes bright and full of life. The vet told us that the kitten had responded well to the treatment and would soon be ready for adoption. We were all excited about the idea of finding a good home for it. We talked to the vet about the process and decided to put up posters around the school to find a loving family for the kitten. With hope in our hearts, we knew that this little kitten’s future was going to be bright. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述体育课上作者发现一只受伤的小猫，同学们决定帮忙，在体育老师和校医的协助下将小猫送往兽医处，大家一整天都牵挂着小猫。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“放学前，约翰逊老师满脸笑容地回到了教室。”可知，第一段可描述老师带来小猫情况好转的好消息，同学们决定周末去动物医院看望小猫。 ② 由第二段首句内容“在动物医院，我们看到了康复的小猫。”可知，第二段可描述小猫康复后的活泼状态，大家决定帮小猫找领养家庭。 2. 续写线索：老师告知喜讯——同学决定探望——看到康复小猫——决定寻找领养 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ① 宣布：announce/declare/proclaim ② 决定：decide/determine/make up one’s mind ③ 寻找：find/look for/search for 情绪类 ① 快乐的：happy/joyous/glad ② 害怕的：scared/frightened 【点睛】[高分句型1] He explained that the vet had set the kitten’s broken leg and given it some medicine.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] Some of us even started planning how we could continue to help the little creature(运用了how引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 建平县高级中学2026年高二下学期英语第一次月考试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一部分 听力(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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B Sangeeta had imagined herself in a well-equipped classroom filled with eager students before she received her posting in a village school. However, this was not the case. Out of 130 children enrolled (已注册的), fewer than 30 attended the school regularly, and there were only three teachers in total, each one covering several subjects, often outside their own area of expertise. After gathering her thoughts, Sangeeta decided to start with the attendance rate. “After school hours, I would go door to door in the afternoons. I sat with parents, explaining why education mattered, and why it was worth sending their children to school instead of making them work,” she shares. “It was a battle — I begged at times, I reasoned at others, and I kept asking them to send their children to school at least one more day. Slowly, attendance rose to 100 students. It wasn’t an easy victory.” However, this promising period was short-lived, as Sangeeta soon discovered that traditional teaching methods seemed ineffective. “The children didn’t want to just sit and listen,” she recalls. “They brightened up when I told stories, sang songs, or played games with them.” Thus, she began using folk tales, riddles, and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable. Over time, the children started participating eagerly. Additionally; Sangeeta often eats midday meals with her students, suggesting that when they see her eating from the same kind of plate, they feel she is one of them. During seasonal fevers, she keeps basic medicines in the staffroom. She adds that on days when rice is served, she avoids giving it to sick children since it is believed to aggravate (使加重) colds. Instead, she shares her light meal with them before giving medicine. For Sangeeta, teaching has never been just a job; it is a mission. She says, “When I started, the classrooms were almost empty. Today, those are full of laughter and learning. That is my biggest reward.” 4. How might Sangeeta feel when she first arrived at the school? A. Hopeful. B. Disappointed. C. Inspired. D. Regretful. 5. What did Sangeeta find challenging? A. Teaching several subjects at once. B. Adapting to life in the countryside. C. Getting more educational resources. D. Involving more students in education. 6. Why did Sangeeta adjust her teaching method? A. To interest students in learning. B. To encourage independent learning. C. To reduce lesson preparation stress. D. To strengthen traditional culture learning. 7. Which of the following can best describe Sangeeta? A. Cautious and strict. B. Practical and honest. C. Devoted and caring. D. Emotional and humorous. C Historically, education has always been a human-operated process. Teachers were responsible for delivering lessons, checking students’ grades, and managing classroom environments. However, the rise of digital technology led to the development of online learning platforms, digital classrooms, and online courses. And the combination of AI promises to take these advances to an entirely new level. Every student has a unique learning style, speed, and set of strengths and weaknesses. Traditional education systems often struggle to meet these individual needs due to class size, limited resources, and the one-size-fits-all approach. AI could change that. With AI-driven learning platforms, students can work through material at their own speed. For example, platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and Duolingo use AI to analyze student progress and offer content, quizzes, and exercises made for them. Traditionally, teachers are often busy with tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and tracking student progress. AI can ease this burden by automating (使自动化) many of these tasks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on student engagement and instruction. For example, AI tools can grade homework, exams, and quizzes much faster than a human educator. This is especially valuable for large classes where individual grading might take days or even weeks. Moreover, AI can help teachers with lesson planning by analyzing vast amounts of educational content and suggesting resources that best match student learning needs. With AI, students who have trouble with language, disabilities, or socio-economic challenges have more opportunities to receive education. AI-powered tools, such as Google Classroom and Microsoft Word, are developed to support students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Moreover, AI tools are making it easier for students who can’t see or hear well. Text-to-speech, real-time translation, and sign language identification technologies can break down barriers for students who face challenges in traditional educational environments. Looking ahead, AI’s role in education will continue to develop. As technology advances, we can expect AI to become part of learning platforms, making education more interesting and engaging. 8. What are AI platforms in paragraph 2 mentioned to show? A. AI’s aid in setting learning goals. B. The rapid development of AI technology. C. AI’s role in personalizing learning resources. D. The comparative advantage of traditional education. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. AI’s assistance to educators. B. AI’s possibility of replacing teachers. C. The importance of student engagement. D. Teaching challenges in large classrooms. 10. What can we infer about AI-powered tools according to the text? A. They help lessen (减少) cultural differences. B. They make education more accessible. C. They need further technical improvements. D. They make students’ school life more colourful. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To recommend AI tools and platforms. B. To remind students of AI’s weaknesses. C. To discuss the impact of AI on education. D. To list the advantages of digital technology. D Most of us have experienced tooth sensitivity (敏感) — a truly unpleasant feeling caused by cold drinks or sweets — at some point in our lives. Now, researchers from India have published their research in Advaneed Scienee that describes how they developed special nanobots that could solve the dental (牙齿的) problem once and for all. According to South First, the roots of tooth sensitivity lie in the hard tissue in teeth called dentine (the type of bone that our teeth are made of) underneath the hard enamel coating (牙釉质涂层). This layer contains tiny channels (通道，渠道) that lead directly to the teeth’s nerve endings. And so, when enamel wears down, the channels become exposed and any feeling — like those from drinking something very cold or eating something very sweet — will become intense. In order to ease this uncomfortable feeling, many people use desensitizing toothpaste (牙膏), which only offers short-term relief. Seeking a more lasting solution, the researchers created CalBots, tiny nanobots that are applied to the tooth surface and guided by an external magnetic field into the dentine. There, they dig into the exposed channels and block them with a special bioceramic, cement (粘合剂)-like material, offering constant protection to the nerves and effectively relieving sensitivity. As South First reports, researchers first tested CalBots on human teeth. Then they progressed to animal trials. It involved giving mice a choice between cold and room-temperature water. Healthy mice showed no preference, while the mice with tooth sensitivity completely shunned the cold water.

Sleep inertia can cause both mental and physical symptoms (症状), such as experiencing slow reaction times and being in a bad mood. These symptoms are most noticeable immediately after waking up. ____16____ However, some people may experience sleep inertia symptoms for up to two hours. When you sleep, your body cycles through several stages of sleep. ____17____ Sleep inertia seems to happen when this awakening process is disrupted (打断). Sleep inertia is more likely to happen when you’ve woken up suddenly from the deep sleep stage, or when you’ve woken up during the middle of the night. ____18____ One idea is that deep sleep brain waves haven’t weakened yet when you wake. Another possibility is that too much adenosine, a sleep chemical, builds up and causes sleepiness. Other experts think sleep inertia may also occur because sudden waking reduces blood flow to the brain. Sleep inertia is common and considered to be a normal experience. But some people may be more likely to experience sleep inertia. For example, duty workers often experience sleep inertia due to irregular sleep schedules. And people with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, often experience sleep disorders. ____19____ To reduce sleep inertia, experts recommend improving your sleep habits. This involves following a regular sleep-wake schedule by going to bed and getting up at the same times every day. ____20____ If you nap during the day, keep the nap under 30minutes, as this helps avoid deep sleep and waking sleepiness. A. These factors can make waking up harder. B. Sleep inertia becomes less common with age. C. In most cases, sleep inertia is a normal experience. D. For most, sleepiness disappears within half an hour. E. Your body needs time to adapt to waking up from sleep. F. Experts have suggested some explanations for sleep inertia. G.

With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint (微弱的) mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. (猫咪幼崽) It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted (扭曲) at a strange angle. “Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed .Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak. We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Mr. Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs. Thompson,” he said. Before Mrs. Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时担架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr. Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs. Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath. “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr. Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs. Thompson took the kitten to the vet (兽医) For the rest of the day, we could think of nothing but the kitten and hoped it would be fine. Paragraph 1: Before the school was over, Mr. Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
