While protecting wildlife might feel like a huge challenge for ordinary people, simple and small daily actions in your community can make a big difference to the survival of various animal species. The following practical tips will guide you on protecting wildlife through easy daily moves. Build wildlife-friendly zones in your backyard When designing and decorating your garden for a more pleasant look, opt for native plants that can supply food and safe shelter for local wildlife. This choice is also a great way to reduce environmental pollution effectively. Additionally, putting up bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can not only attract more wild species but also offer them a stable living space. Protect the natural ecosystem in your backyard It’s important to avoid planting non-native plants in your backyard, as many of them may compete with or even kill the local plants that are the main food and shelter sources for wild animals, thus damaging the local natural ecosystem. Stick to a greener daily lifestyle Cutting down on water and fuel consumption is a direct way to protect the surrounding wildlife. You can choose public transportation like buses or subways for daily travel as much as possible, turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use, shorten your shower time, and set the indoor temperature at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees during winter to save energy. Choose wildlife-friendly products Refuse to buy any products made from endangered animals. Remember that a large number of endangered animals are killed by illegal traps or greedy hunters who aim to make huge profits from selling their body parts. Support wildlife protection organizations financially You can donate money to local organizations or groups that are committed to wildlife protection. Your small donation can greatly support their daily work of protecting wildlife and their natural habitats. 21. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To list the serious threats that wildlife is facing nowadays B. To call on people to donate money to wildlife protection groups C. To introduce practical small actions to protect wildlife D. To explain why protecting wildlife is a big challenge for people 22. Which of the following is advised to build a wildlife-friendly backyard? A. Planting non-native plants for a more beautiful garden B. Setting up bird houses to attract and shelter wild species C. Cutting down local plants to reduce food competition for wildlife D. Using more fuels to keep the backyard warm in winter 23. Which action is NOT recommended for a greener lifestyle according to the passage? A. Taking the subway instead of driving a private car for travel B. Keeping the indoor temperature above 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter C. Turning off the lights and air conditioners when leaving the house D. Reducing the time spent on taking a shower to save water B Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He suddenly fell ill and had to be admitted to the hospital. He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was a perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them. One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (使瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.” My dad would cry, every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad — who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture — loved every single child in that hospital. 24. Why did the author’s father work at the local children’s hospital? A. To make his serious heart condition less serious. B. To keep himself occupied and pleased. C. To realize his childhood dream. D. To earn money to pay for treatment. 25. How did the author’s father help the paralyzed girl? A. He helped her practice walking. B. He visited her and made a toy for her. C. He showed her that she could still do things. D. He painted special pictures for her. 26. What can be learned about the paralyzed girl according to Paragraph 3? A. She eventually became a unique painter. B. She was sent home and never seen again. C. She gradually recovered and walked. D. She sent the author’s dad a picture painted with her mouth. 27. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. It’s better to give than to receive. B. A sick person should not focus on his disease. C. Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do. D. Love can sometimes bring great results. C It is no surprise that within many education systems, wealthier students often test better than poorer students, which education experts often called the “achievement gap”. Sean Reardon, a professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University in California, found that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a small amount. One way to reduce the gap is to offer pre-kindergarten programs to all 3-and 4-year-old kids. Such classes are already being offered in some areas around the United States, including the U. S. capital, Washington, D. C. These programs offer hope for many youngsters. It is more than learning the ABCs or counting to 100. Kids have the chance to learn how to listen, develop social skills, and interact with others. Vincent Gray, a former mayor of the District of Columbia, says, “We’ve always had some form of early childhood care in the District of Columbia for decades. But what we didn’t have was universal access. And I did the legislation (立法) in 2009 as Chairman of the Council to get it done. And then when I became the mayor, it gave me an incredible opportunity to be able to fully implement (执行) the legislation.” Gray also explains “Today, most of Washington’s youngest children are in school. The pre-K programs are not a requirement in the city. But almost no parent at this stage is saying ‘I don’t want my child in school.’ They want them in school because there’s not a cost associated with it, other than the cost of them not having the opportunity to learn.” Generally, wealthier parents have more financial resources to help their children. Educated parents, wealthy or not, might take their children to participate in certain activities instead of attending school at an early age. For example, they may take their children to free events at a public library or recreation (消遣) center. Washington, D. C. also has many free museums. 28. What is finding of Sean Reardon? A. People have narrowed the achievement gap slightly. B. People have learnt the meaning of achievement gap fully. C. People have tried to get rid of the achievement gap gradually. D. People have known how to reduce the achievement gap greatly. 29. The author used the example of Vincent Gray to show _________. A. he had accounted for the pre-kindergarten classes in detail B. he had made good preparations for pre-kindergarten classes C. he has helped develop pre-kindergarten classes for a long time D. he had devoted himself to educating pre-kindergarten classes 30. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. The education system reform is popular with the public. B. The pre-K programs don’t satisfy parents’ requirement. C. Some parents can afford the cost of their kids’ education. D. Most parents pay much attention to their kids’ education. 31. What do the educated parents do when educating their children? A. By always encouraging them in their studies. B. By making good use of the resources they can get. C. By offering them various out-of-class activities. D. By accompanying and playing with them together. D Finding trapped people quickly is often the difference between life and death in relief missions. New robot tech is coming to the rescue. Imagine you’re trapped in a collapsed building. Unable to move, you’re forced to wait. Finally, something looks through the crack (裂缝), and you find yourself face-to-face with... a robot? We have to deal with our fair share of disasters on our little blue planet. These calamities can range from extreme weather events like hurricanes to other naturally occurring phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There are times when people suffer from intentional injuries, even resulting in death. And for most wildfires, they are simply the unfortunate side effect of human activities. Regardless of the cause, for centuries, humans have set out on search-and-rescue missions to save those left in a disaster’s wake. But in the past few decades, robots have taken an increasingly active role in these rescue efforts. They have battled their way through disasters. These mechanical rescuers can range from ground to sea to aerial (航空的) vehicles — including unmanned aerial vehicles that don’t just search through disaster areas for survivors, but provide exploration from above. Beyond that, scientists across the globe are building new, creative types of rescue robots. Many projects still in development draw inspiration from the animal kingdom, mimicking (模仿) designs that nature has perfected to make machines that can move through difficult environments, from droids that look like snakes to a group of autonomous bees. And while many are still years away from being used in actual disasters. 32. Why did the writer use the situation of people being trapped in a collapsed building? A. To tell people the real scene of the earthquakes. B. To show how people are disappointed in disasters. C. To stress the importance of waiting in disasters. D. To introduce a new way of saving during disasters. 33. What does the underlined word “calamities” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Buildings. B. Failures. C. Missions. D. Disasters. 34. What is the advantage of the rescue robots? A. They are able to increase very quickly in numbers. B. They can carry out missions in different situations. C. They would take the place of human completely. D. They don’t have any side effects of human activities. 35. Where do the scientists get inspirations to make droids? A. The various animals. B. The science fiction. C. The personal imagination. D. The harsh environment. 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。 Before diving into a study, have you ever spent some time checking the length of the text or the number of pages you need to read? The feeling of relief if it’s short or the complaint if it’s quite long is all too familiar. ____36____ It can really improve your study experience and help you manage time better. But did you know that another similar but better method exists? It’s called the THIEVES method, and it comes with a lot of new benefits. ____37____ This promotes your understanding of the material and improves your ability to recall it later. This method is recommended widely to children, especially when it comes to teaching reading. ____38____ The THIEVES study method has been shown to be effective for students of all ages and levels of reading ability. It gets its name from the acronym (首字母缩略词) standing for its steps: Title, Heading, Introduction, Every first sentence, Visual, End of the text, and Summary. ____39____ The title gives you a clue about the text, enabling you to predict what it will cover. Headings tell you the main point of each part. The introduction offers an outline of the text. The first sentence of each paragraph usually summarizes its central idea. Reading them helps you rapidly master what each paragraph is about. Visuals such as photos and drawings aid in visualizing the information presented in the text. The last paragraph often points out the most important information. ____40____ A. Practice the steps in order. B. This simple act is called previewing. C. Many people are unwilling to use this method. D. But don’t think that it can’t be used by older learners. E. Each step plays an important role in understanding a text. F. Finally, the summary will give you the whole picture of the text. G. When practicing this approach, you “steal” information from specific parts of the text. 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Five teenage boys from Caldwell, Idaho had been in the car on their way to the gym to play some basketball when they saw an elderly man fall to the ground.

We fell together and the box I’d been carrying flew from my hands and landed in the street. A moment later, a car drove past, sending the box spinning in circles. The skater got up, said sorry, and sped away around the corner. “Are you OK, Emily?” Aiden asked. “I think so.” I stood up and slowly moved my aching arm. “Oh no! Look at Mom’s present!” Aiden’s face was red. I picked up the crushed box and opened it. The flower vases inside were broken. I closed the box and left it in a garbage can on the sidewalk, then started hurrying toward home. Aiden had to run at full speed to keep up with me. When we got to the apartment, we threw ourselves down on chairs in the kitchen. “It isn’t fair! Why did that happen?” Aiden said. “I didn’t even see that guy! He came out of nowhere,” I said angrily. Aiden’s lips trembled. “Mom would love those vases.” We’d saved our money for weeks to buy vases of pink flowers for Mom’s birthday. We have other vases, but not a full set that matches. I wished I could throw something against the wall and scream, but I knew I couldn’t. I’m the older one. I had to hold it together. “I want to make her happy,” Aiden said. “We’ll think of something else to give her as her present,” I said, trying to cheer up Aiden. “Like what?” he asked. “We don’t have any money left.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I swallowed hard and said, “Maybe we can make a present for Mom.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Aiden saw tears rolling down Mom’s cheeks, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期高一年级第一次月考 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 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 秒钟的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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man probably want to buy?

Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention. But dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 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 Wildlife is currently under severe threat from a series of human-induced problems, including the loss of natural habitats, environmental pollution and improper human activities. While protecting wildlife might feel like a huge challenge for ordinary people, simple and small daily actions in your community can make a big difference to the survival of various animal species. The following practical tips will guide you on protecting wildlife through easy daily moves. Build wildlife-friendly zones in your backyard When designing and decorating your garden for a more pleasant look, opt for native plants that can supply food and safe shelter for local wildlife. This choice is also a great way to reduce environmental pollution effectively. Additionally, putting up bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can not only attract more wild species but also offer them a stable living space. Protect the natural ecosystem in your backyard It’s important to avoid planting non-native plants in your backyard, as many of them may compete with or even kill the local plants that are the main food and shelter sources for wild animals, thus damaging the local natural ecosystem. Stick to a greener daily lifestyle Cutting down on water and fuel consumption is a direct way to protect the surrounding wildlife. You can choose public transportation like buses or subways for daily travel as much as possible, turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use, shorten your shower time, and set the indoor temperature at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees during winter to save energy. Choose wildlife-friendly products Refuse to buy any products made from endangered animals. Remember that a large number of endangered animals are killed by illegal traps or greedy hunters who aim to make huge profits from selling their body parts. Support wildlife protection organizations financially You can donate money to local organizations or groups that are committed to wildlife protection. Your small donation can greatly support their daily work of protecting wildlife and their natural habitats. 21. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To list the serious threats that wildlife is facing nowadays B. To call on people to donate money to wildlife protection groups C. To introduce practical small actions to protect wildlife D.

He was unable to do a steady job. He suddenly fell ill and had to be admitted to the hospital. He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was a perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them. One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (使瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.” My dad would cry, every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad — who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture — loved every single child in that hospital. 24. Why did the author’s father work at the local children’s hospital? A. To make his serious heart condition less serious. B. To keep himself occupied and pleased. C. To realize his childhood dream. D.

Sean Reardon, a professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University in California, found that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a small amount. One way to reduce the gap is to offer pre-kindergarten programs to all 3-and 4-year-old kids. Such classes are already being offered in some areas around the United States, including the U. S. capital, Washington, D. C. These programs offer hope for many youngsters. It is more than learning the ABCs or counting to 100. Kids have the chance to learn how to listen, develop social skills, and interact with others. Vincent Gray, a former mayor of the District of Columbia, says, “We’ve always had some form of early childhood care in the District of Columbia for decades. But what we didn’t have was universal access. And I did the legislation (立法) in 2009 as Chairman of the Council to get it done. And then when I became the mayor, it gave me an incredible opportunity to be able to fully implement (执行) the legislation.” Gray also explains “Today, most of Washington’s youngest children are in school. The pre-K programs are not a requirement in the city. But almost no parent at this stage is saying ‘I don’t want my child in school.’ They want them in school because there’s not a cost associated with it, other than the cost of them not having the opportunity to learn.” Generally, wealthier parents have more financial resources to help their children. Educated parents, wealthy or not, might take their children to participate in certain activities instead of attending school at an early age. For example, they may take their children to free events at a public library or recreation (消遣) center. Washington, D. C. also has many free museums. 28. What is finding of Sean Reardon? A. People have narrowed the achievement gap slightly. B. People have learnt the meaning of achievement gap fully. C. People have tried to get rid of the achievement gap gradually. D. People have known how to reduce the achievement gap greatly. 29. The author used the example of Vincent Gray to show _________. A. he had accounted for the pre-kindergarten classes in detail B. he had made good preparations for pre-kindergarten classes C. he has helped develop pre-kindergarten classes for a long time D. he had devoted himself to educating pre-kindergarten classes 30. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. The education system reform is popular with the public. B. The pre-K programs don’t satisfy parents’ requirement. C. Some parents can afford the cost of their kids’ education. D. Most parents pay much attention to their kids’ education. 31. What do the educated parents do when educating their children? A. By always encouraging them in their studies. B. By making good use of the resources they can get. C. By offering them various out-of-class activities. D. By accompanying and playing with them together. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍教育中的成就差距问题，指出学前教育项目是缩小差距的方法，还举例说明相关推进举措，并介绍不同家长的早教做法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Sean Reardon, a professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University in California, found that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a small amount.(加州斯坦福大学研究教育领域贫困与不平等问题的教授肖恩·里尔登发现，1998年至2010年间，这种成就差距有了小幅缩小。)”可知，肖恩·里尔登的研究发现是人们让成就差距有了轻微的缩小。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中文森特·格雷的话“We’ve always had some form of early childhood care in the District of Columbia for decades. But what we didn’t have was universal access. And I did the legislation (立法) in 2009 as Chairman of the Council to get it done. And then when I became the mayor, it gave me an incredible opportunity to be able to fully implement (执行) the legislation.(几十年来，华盛顿哥伦比亚特区一直有某种形式的幼儿保育服务。但我们此前没有实现全民可享的学前教育。2009年，我以市议会议长的身份推动了相关立法，而后成为市长后，我又获得了绝佳的机会来全面执行这项立法。)”可知，作者举文森特·格雷的例子是为了说明他长期助力学前教育课程的发展。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The pre-K programs are not a requirement in the city. But almost no parent at this stage is saying ‘I don’t want my child in school.’ (学前教育项目并非该市的强制要求，但现阶段几乎没有家长说‘我不想让我的孩子上学’。)”可知，学前教育并非强制要求，但家长们都希望孩子参与，由此可推知大多数家长都十分重视孩子的教育。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Educated parents, wealthy or not, might take their children to participate in certain activities instead of attending school at an early age. For example, they may take their children to free events at a public library or recreation (消遣) center. Washington, D. C. also has many free museums.(受过教育的家长，无论贫富，在孩子低龄阶段可能会带他们参加一些活动而非单纯上学。例如，他们会带孩子参加公共图书馆或休闲中心的免费活动，华盛顿哥伦比亚特区也有许多免费的博物馆可以利用。)”可知，受过教育的家长在教育孩子时会充分利用能获取到的各类资源。故选B项。 D Finding trapped people quickly is often the difference between life and death in relief missions. New robot tech is coming to the rescue. Imagine you’re trapped in a collapsed building. Unable to move, you’re forced to wait. Finally, something looks through the crack (裂缝), and you find yourself face-to-face with... a robot? We have to deal with our fair share of disasters on our little blue planet. These calamities can range from extreme weather events like hurricanes to other naturally occurring phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There are times when people suffer from intentional injuries, even resulting in death. And for most wildfires, they are simply the unfortunate side effect of human activities. Regardless of the cause, for centuries, humans have set out on search-and-rescue missions to save those left in a disaster’s wake. But in the past few decades, robots have taken an increasingly active role in these rescue efforts. They have battled their way through disasters. These mechanical rescuers can range from ground to sea to aerial (航空的) vehicles — including unmanned aerial vehicles that don’t just search through disaster areas for survivors, but provide exploration from above. Beyond that, scientists across the globe are building new, creative types of rescue robots. Many projects still in development draw inspiration from the animal kingdom, mimicking (模仿) designs that nature has perfected to make machines that can move through difficult environments, from droids that look like snakes to a group of autonomous bees. And while many are still years away from being used in actual disasters. 32. Why did the writer use the situation of people being trapped in a collapsed building? A. To tell people the real scene of the earthquakes. B. To show how people are disappointed in disasters. C. To stress the importance of waiting in disasters. D. To introduce a new way of saving during disasters. 33. What does the underlined word “calamities” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Buildings. B. Failures. C. Missions. D. Disasters. 34. What is the advantage of the rescue robots? A. They are able to increase very quickly in numbers. B. They can carry out missions in different situations. C. They would take the place of human completely. D. They don’t have any side effects of human activities. 35. Where do the scientists get inspirations to make droids? A. The various animals. B. The science fiction. C. The personal imagination. D. The harsh environment. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了救援机器人的优点、适用范围以及未来发展。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Finding trapped people quickly is often the difference between life and death in relief missions. New robot tech is coming to the rescue. (在救援任务中，迅速找到被困人员往往关乎生死。新的机器人技术即将派上用场)”可知，作者使用人们被困在倒塌建筑中的情境是为了介绍一种灾难中的新救援方式，也就是用机器人来救援。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“We have to deal with our fair share of disasters on our little blue planet. (在我们这个小小的蓝色星球上，我们经历了不少灾难)”和下文“range from extreme weather events like hurricanes to other naturally occurring phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. (包括极端天气事件，如飓风，以及其他自然发生的现象，如地震和火山爆发)”可知，calamities的意思是“灾难”，与disasters同义。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These mechanical rescuers can range from ground to sea to aerial (航空的)vehicles. (这些机械救援者可以是地面、海上或空中的交通工具)”可知，救援机器人的优势是它们可以在不同的情况下执行任务。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many projects still in development draw inspiration from the animal kingdom, mimicking (模仿) designs that nature has perfected to make machines that can move through difficult environments, from droids that look like snakes to a group of autonomous bees. (许多仍在研发中的项目从动物界汲取灵感，模仿自然界已臻完善的设计，打造出能够在复杂环境中行动的各类机器——从外形似蛇的机器人到一群自主作业的仿生蜜蜂机器人，不一而足)”可知，科学家是从各种动物那里获得制作机器人的灵感。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。 Before diving into a study, have you ever spent some time checking the length of the text or the number of pages you need to read?

Last summer, I planned a trip to Xi’an entirely online. Using apps, I booked train tickets, reserved a hotel near the Bell Tower, and even bought entrance tickets to the Terracotta Warriors Museum in advance. What’s more, real-time navigation helped me avoid traffic jams, and online reviews guided me to authentic local restaurants. However, to make the most of digital tools, I’d like to offer two suggestions. First, always double-check information from official sources, as some websites may provide outdated details. Second, don’t rely solely on your phone — download offline maps and keep emergency contacts saved in case of poor network. Thanks to the Internet, traveling is not only easier but also more enjoyable! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份，向校英文报“Internet Makes Travel Easier”主题征文投稿，结合自身使用互联网的旅行经历，给出相关使用建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 购买：buy → purchase 提前：in advance → ahead of schedule 实时的：real-time → live 仅仅；只：solely → merely 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：However, to make the most of digital tools, I’d like to offer two suggestions. 拓展句：However, I’d like to offer two suggestions so that we can make the most of digital tools. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Using apps, I booked train tickets, reserved a hotel near the Bell Tower, and even bought entrance tickets to the Terracotta Warriors Museum in advance.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】First, always double-check information from official sources, as some websites may provide outdated details.（运用了as引导的原因状语从句） 第二节 (满分 25 分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 A boy on skates turned around the corner very fast and crashed into me before I jumped out of the way. We fell together and the box I’d been carrying flew from my hands and landed in the street. A moment later, a car drove past, sending the box spinning in circles. The skater got up, said sorry, and sped away around the corner. “Are you OK, Emily?” Aiden asked. “I think so.” I stood up and slowly moved my aching arm. “Oh no! Look at Mom’s present!” Aiden’s face was red. I picked up the crushed box and opened it. The flower vases inside were broken. I closed the box and left it in a garbage can on the sidewalk, then started hurrying toward home. Aiden had to run at full speed to keep up with me. When we got to the apartment, we threw ourselves down on chairs in the kitchen. “It isn’t fair! Why did that happen?” Aiden said. “I didn’t even see that guy! He came out of nowhere,” I said angrily. Aiden’s lips trembled. “Mom would love those vases.” We’d saved our money for weeks to buy vases of pink flowers for Mom’s birthday. We have other vases, but not a full set that matches. I wished I could throw something against the wall and scream, but I knew I couldn’t. I’m the older one. I had to hold it together. “I want to make her happy,” Aiden said. “We’ll think of something else to give her as her present,” I said, trying to cheer up Aiden. “Like what?” he asked. “We don’t have any money left.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I swallowed hard and said, “Maybe we can make a present for Mom.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Aiden saw tears rolling down Mom’s cheeks, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I swallowed hard and said, “Maybe we can make a present for Mom.” Aiden looked at me in confusion as if to ask how. The broken vases brought me a good idea — why not make a paper vase and decorate it with pictures? I poured out my plan to Aiden and he jumped to his feet with excitement. The next three days witnessed our effort to design, make and color the paper vase. Eventually, a special work of art was born! On Mom’s birthday, we carefully took it out and couldn’t wait to give Mom a surprise, only to find her eyes red and wet. When Aiden saw tears rolling down Mom’s cheeks, he asked anxiously, “Mom, you are crying! Are you sad about it?” His voice was worried and upset. But Mom put her hand gently on the paper vase as if it was the most precious jewel. Pulling us into her arms, she smiled brightly, “No. Never have I had a more beautiful present than this. I am just too moved.” Hearing the familiar laughter, how happy we were! How I wished Mom could laugh as often as possible! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了文章讲述作者和弟弟好不容易攒钱给妈妈买了一份生日礼物——花瓶，但是在街上作者被一个男孩撞倒在地，花瓶碎掉了，他们沮丧地回了家。作为姐姐，作者知道自己必须承担起这件事，想办法弥补。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我艰难地咽了口唾沫，说：‘也许我们可以给妈妈制作一份礼物。’”可知，第一段可描写作者和弟弟给妈妈制作礼物的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Aiden看到妈妈泪流满面时，”可知，第二段可描写Aiden看到妈妈流泪之后的反应和妈妈收到礼物之后的感动。 2.续写线索： 提出亲手制作礼物——制作经过——送给妈妈——妈妈感动——大家开心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②跳：jump/spring ③放置：put/place 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] On Mom’s birthday, we carefully took it out and couldn’t wait to give Mom a surprise, only to find her eyes red and wet.（由“only+不定式”作结果状语） [高分句型2] But Mom put her hand gently on the paper vase as if it was the most precious jewel. （由as if引导方式状语从句） [高分句型3] Pulling us into her arms, she smiled brightly, “No. Never have I had a more beautiful present than this.
