The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 22. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 23. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To give herself an advantage in promotion. C. To avoid being seen as weak or incapable by others. D. To prove that she was more successful than her family. 26. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is necessary. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength doesn’t mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. C Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive (互相排斥) career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging (再现) among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 28. What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1? A. To display they were talented. B. To confirm they were out of favor. C. To encourage different career paths. D. To show poetry and science can be combined. 29. What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A. Promote a new science-poetry journal. B. Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C. Encourage science communication through poems. D. Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research 30. What does the underlined word “disservice” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. favor B. harm C. kindness D. trouble 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Take on Poetry B. Scientists and Poets Think Alike C. Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D. Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue D The world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio (三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas & Friends, Power Wheels, and Little People. Companies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video. One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys? The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them. If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won’t be blamed for fearing holograms (全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy. Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects?” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks. On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids’ screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing. 32. What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring? A. The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting. B. The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer. C. New ideas of making short videos of creative toys. D. Techniques used to produce popular toy series. 33. According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ___________. A. be fond of devoting themselves to improving technology B. be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toys C. pass their preference for such toys on to their kids D. show great creativity and imagination 34. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Advantages and disadvantages of modern technology. B. Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys. C. Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys. D. Advances in technology used to make toys. 35. What does the author want to show at the end of the text? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Everything is a two-edged sword. D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____36____ Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____37____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____38____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. ____39____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____40____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 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。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard.

I couldn’t bear the thought of her ____50____ completely. Friends ____51____ me to carve her wood into keepsakes — wooden flutes, photo frames, or even a small bench. At first, I hesitated, but then I ____52____ their suggestion. Now, instead of looking up at her towering form, I can ____53____ pieces of her in my hands. The photo frame holding my mother’s childhood picture is ____54____ to the touch, carrying the warmth of the sun she once soaked up.

A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, whose house was destroyed by a recent fire… Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket. These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a big holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams… That night, the community hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up the big basket, their gratitude was evident. Each family talked about their own troubles and at the same time tried to answer others’ problems thoughtfully. In that hall, there was warmth restored. Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in. The father said they had simply heard that a church was giving out food and decided to come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.” （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, I stopped them and asked them to wait a minute. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都外国语学校2025-2026学年4月月考 高二英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的姓名、考籍号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2．答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3．答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4．所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 5．考试结束后，只将答题卡交回。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers?

My friend Jack sets a good example for me. W: That makes sense. What about playing badminton this weekend? M: It sounds great. But don’t forget it’s Children’s Day this Saturday. You have to keep your promise to Jane. I heard you talk to her in the bedroom yesterday. Why not put it off till next Monday? W: It’s a deal. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

It’s time to make the decision in my late teens, or young adult years. But I found that it would be extremely hard to find the answer. I wonder if someone could give me some tips. That would be better. M: I took a career development course last week. Here are several tips that can help you find your ideal career path. W: So what is the first tip? M: Make a list of your hobbies. To enjoy what you do most of the day, it’s essential to find a job that you love. The second is to find what you’re good at. What you enjoy and what you’re good at can be two very different things. W: That’s true. My mom loves dancing, but she does a great job of organizing activities. M: Yes. My friend Frank is a gifted singer, but he is too shy. He feels anxious in front of people. It seems that he doesn’t enjoy the onstage performance. W: I see.

To get things from boats. 19. What happened on Sunday evening off the coast of Southern California? A. A boat was missing. B. A shark got injured. C. A shark attacked a surfer. 20. Which country ranks third in terms of shark encounters in the talk? A. The USA. B. South Africa. C. Australia. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】 You must have heard of sea animals’ attacks. Do you know why those killer whales may attack boats off Spain and Portugal? It’s likely that the young killer whales simply play for fun in the high seas. The ocean is a very boring place for an animal, one of the researchers told USA Today. These whales are like teenagers with too much time on their hands. Similar to young people, those killer whales also follow the fashion and want to do what their friends do. In the late 1980s, whales were said to carry dead salmon around on their heads because others were doing it. Whale expert Naomi Rose calls it a sign of intelligence. It’s a very sophisticated thing to do something for no purpose other than that it amuses you. Off the coast of Southern California, a shark aggressively bumped a surfer off his board. It happened on Sunday evening in the waters. The surfer was in panic but was not injured. He made it to the shore and told the lifeguards without delay that he saw a large object coming towards him. The shark encounter happened not only in the USA, but also in other countries. Australia and South Africa come in at number two and three, respectively. 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 You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)? The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 22. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 23. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了Marley对社交媒体的沉迷是否需要戒断，展现了两位朋友的观点及读者的看法。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online.(我的工作意味着我必须时刻关注网上的流行趋势)”可知，Marley花时间在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的网络趋势。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Margo, 29部分“While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度，但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他应该搬出去)”可知，只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分，告诉我们：Marley应该离开TikTok，开始自己的生活吗？)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。 B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To give herself an advantage in promotion. C. To avoid being seen as weak or incapable by others. D. To prove that she was more successful than her family. 26. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is necessary. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength doesn’t mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在母亲突发急症时强装镇定坚守岗位，后领悟到真正的坚强并非隐藏脆弱。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions.(五分钟后，我走进教室给68名MBA学生照常讲课，甚至课后还留了几分钟回答问题。)”可知，作者挂断电话后保持冷静并坚守了工作岗位。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.(我不想让同事质疑我的能力，也不想让亲朋好友觉得我不是坚不可摧的。)”可知，作者展现坚强是为了避免被他人看作软弱或无能。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process.(令我欣慰的是，有些人不带评判地倾听我，尊重我的界限和应对过程。)”以及“They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.(他们让我明白，即使是身居领导职位的专业人士也需要支持。)”可知，这些人通过倾听并让作者意识到寻求帮助是必要的来帮助她。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.(真正的坚强不是从不犹豫，而是有勇气承认自己在挣扎，主动寻求支持，并重新振作继续前行。)”可知，作者想要传达的是坚强并不意味着隐藏自己的困境与挣扎。故选A项。 C Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive (互相排斥) career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging (再现) among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 28. What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1? A. To display they were talented. B. To confirm they were out of favor. C. To encourage different career paths. D. To show poetry and science can be combined. 29. What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A. Promote a new science-poetry journal. B. Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C. Encourage science communication through poems. D. Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research 30. What does the underlined word “disservice” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. favor B. harm C. kindness D. trouble 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Take on Poetry B. Scientists and Poets Think Alike C. Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D. Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍诗歌与科学曾相互融合，如今科学家们再次通过诗歌传播科研成果，拉近科学与大众的距离。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon.(但情况并非一直如此。数学家艾达·洛夫莱斯和物理学家詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦都是造诣深厚的诗人。诗人约翰·济慈是一名持证外科医生。)”可知，作者提及这些名人是为了证明诗歌与科学是可以结合的。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.(伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新研究成果转化为诗歌，以吸引其专业领域之外的人们的欣赏。)”可知，伊林沃思的研讨会旨在通过诗歌促进科学传播。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We do a disservice to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas (如果认为科学家不能有艺术感，艺术不能用来传播科学思想，那我们就是在对自己做disservice)”可知，持有这种想法对自身是不利的，因此画线词意为“伤害、损害”。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.(但将研究转化为抒情诗、俳句和其他诗歌形式的做法正在科学家们中重新兴起，他们希望用其他方式用自己的发现激励他人。)”可知，主要介绍诗歌与科学曾相互融合，如今科学家们再次通过诗歌传播科研成果，拉近科学与大众的距离。因此“科学家开始从事诗歌创作”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 D The world has changed greatly since Herman Fisher met Irving Price and Helen Schelle in 1930. The trio (三人组) founded Fisher-Price, maker of popular toy series such as Thomas & Friends, Power Wheels, and Little People. Companies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. Fisher-Price recently cooperated with Continuum, a global innovation designer. Together, they created a short video called The Future of Parenting, along with a short essay explaining the thoughts behind the video. One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys? The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them. If you interpret the video as a clear vision of the future of parenting, you won’t be blamed for fearing holograms (全息图) will take over your house as a mom or dad. The benefit of holograms in the video is their potential for giving traditional toys the ability to personalize responses, depending on the age and development of the child playing with the traditional toy. Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects?” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks. On the one hand, parents know that they should limit their kids’ screen time to keep them healthy, and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidance on daily screen time. On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing. 32. What are companies like Fisher-Price currently exploring? A. The impact of technological advances on toys and parenting. B. The way to be an outstanding global innovation designer. C. New ideas of making short videos of creative toys. D. Techniques used to produce popular toy series. 33. According to the author, teenagers raised with data-providing devices may ___________. A. be fond of devoting themselves to improving technology B. be afraid of the negative impact of electronic toys C. pass their preference for such toys on to their kids D. show great creativity and imagination 34. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Advantages and disadvantages of modern technology. B. Comparisons of the effects of two kinds of toys. C. Suggestions on how to choose suitable toys. D. Advances in technology used to make toys. 35. What does the author want to show at the end of the text? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Everything is a two-edged sword. D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了，未来的玩具和养育孩子是怎样的？当现在玩电子产品和玩具的孩子成为家长后，他们对未来的玩具有怎样的期待？本文告诉了我们这些问题的答案。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“Companies like Fisher-Price are exploring how the world of toys and parenting will change with the development of technology. (像Fisher-Price这样的公司正在探索玩具和育儿的世界将如何随着技术的发展而改变)”和第二段中“One thought of the video explores how parenting will change when the teens of today raised with data-providing devices such as Fitbit and iPad begin raising kids of their own. (这段视频的一个想法是，当今天用Fitbit和iPad等数据提供设备长大的青少年开始抚养自己的孩子时，育儿方式将如何改变)”可知，像Fisher-Price一样的公司目前正在探索科技发展对玩具和抚养孩子的影响。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“Is this a generation that will desire data in all of their kids’ toys? The answer may be “yes” and perhaps the product appearing in the video will appeal to them. (这一代人会希望他们孩子的玩具都有数据吗？答案可能是“是的”，也许视频中出现的产品会吸引他们)”可知，如今使用提供数据的设备养育大的孩子们成为家长后，可能会把他们对于这类玩具的喜好传递给他们的孩子。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。由第四段“Of course, you might ask yourself, “Do data-providing toys have an advantage over traditional toys in terms of their effects?” The answer may be negative. Lego, a traditional brick toy-maker, on all counts remains a successful company. And studies point out its toys’ benefits to children’s creativity. In addition, recent research demonstrates that toys containing data can potentially prevent language development, compared with traditional puzzles and bricks. (当然，你可能会问自己，“提供数据的玩具在效果方面比传统玩具有优势吗？”答案可能是否定的。乐高，一家传统的积木玩具制造商，在所有方面仍然是一家成功的公司。研究指出，它的玩具对孩子的创造力有好处。此外，最近的研究表明，与传统的谜题和积木相比，含有数据的玩具可能会阻止语言发展)”可知，本段主要是关于两种不同类型玩具带来的影响之间的比较。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“On the other hand, technology can be wonderfully engaging and can provide excellent educational opportunities for children. Nothing is perfect and we should embrace every aspect of a new thing. (另一方面，技术可以非常吸引人，可以为儿童提供极好的教育机会。没有什么是完美的，我们应该拥抱新事物的方方面面)”可知，作者在最后一段中陈述了高科技玩具的优势及劣势，作者想说明“任何事物都是一把双刃剑（既有好处也有坏处）”这个道理。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____36____ Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____37____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____38____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. ____39____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____40____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. E 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过讲述孩子们通过给圣诞老人写信暗示得到自己心仪的礼物，从而论证观点：人们写作都是带有某种目的的。 【36题详解】 根据空前“As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. (随着孩子们逐渐长大，他们会给圣诞老人一些提示，告诉他去哪里买礼物。)”可知，孩子们给圣诞老人提示去哪买礼物。结合选项可知，D项“As a result, each year they received something they wanted. (结果，他们每年都会收到他们想要的东西。)”为孩子们提示的结果：收到心仪的礼物。前后为明显的因果关系。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据空前“Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times t may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. (有时我们的目的是为了获得东西，有时可能是为了娱乐、告知或说服。)”可知，我们写作都是带着目的的。结合选项B“But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. (但它总是有目的的——或者至少应该是这样。)”可知，前后语意一致，说明写作是带有目的的。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据空前“When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. (当孩子们为真正的读者和真正的目的写作时，他们就能学会相应地选择用词。)”以及空后“You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. (你写“亲爱的圣诞老人”是因为你不认识他，你想表达对他的尊重。)”可知，空后句和空前句之间是“理论——实践”的关系，由此可推知，空处也应为具体的实践。结合选项E“You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. (你写“嗨，奶奶和爸爸”，因为你和他们很亲近。)”可知，符合这一逻辑。而且和空后结构一致。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据空后“Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. (在玩电子游戏时发短信、在线消息、实时聊天都意味着他们在不断地产生书面信息。 )”可知，科技的发展让人们的写作变得更普遍。结合选项F“As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. (随着科技的发展，年轻人写的东西比以前更多了。)”可知，前后语意一致，符合语境。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据空前“There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. (这种写作方式并没有错。它迎合了观众和目的，完成了任务。)”可知，作者在评价这种科技影响下的写作方式。结合选项G“But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. (但如果这是年轻人唯一的写作方式，那就会造成问题。)”可知，前后语意一致，从正反两方面评价科技带来的写作。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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard. She was already ____41____ when my grandparents settled here 60 years ago — gnarled (多节的) but strong, standing tall as a silent guardian over the garden. We have a faded ____42____ of my mother playing under her branches as a child, the tree’s leaves ____43____ as if saying hello to her. That oak had a distinct ____44____.

Kids in the neighborhood loved climbing her thick limbs; birds built nests in her ____45____, and fireflies danced in her leaves at dusk. She was more than a tree — she was part of our family. But time took its toll. We watched her ____46____ weaken over the years. The leaves turned yellow earlier each autumn, and some branches dried up and broke off in storms. Even the squirrels, who once stored acorns in her bark, started ____47____. My grandfather sighed, “She’s lived a good life, but it’s getting ____48____to have her so close to the house.” When a heavy branch crashed onto the fence last winter, we knew we had to call in experts to ____49____ her. I couldn’t bear the thought of her ____50____ completely. Friends ____51____ me to carve her wood into keepsakes — wooden flutes, photo frames, or even a small bench. At first, I hesitated, but then I ____52____ their suggestion. Now, instead of looking up at her towering form, I can ____53____ pieces of her in my hands. The photo frame holding my mother’s childhood picture is ____54____ to the touch, carrying the warmth of the sun she once soaked up. The wooden flute, when played, hums a soft tune that feels like a ____55____ of her rustling leaves. The old oak is gone, but her memory lives on — in our hearts and in the things she’s become. 41.

A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, whose house was destroyed by a recent fire… Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket. These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a big holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams… That night, the community hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up the big basket, their gratitude was evident. Each family talked about their own troubles and at the same time tried to answer others’ problems thoughtfully. In that hall, there was warmth restored. Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in. The father said they had simply heard that a church was giving out food and decided to come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.” （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, I stopped them and asked them to wait a minute. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文一： Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, I stopped them and asked them to wait a minute. My heart twisting with guilt and a flicker of hope, I turned to the other families, explaining their situation softly and sincerely. Before I finished, hands shot up: Mrs. Jones offered sweet potatoes, Amy gave stuffing mix, and the Tomas family shared half their ham… We quickly packed these into a spare box, filling it with all the donated food to form a holiday meal. Holding this makeshift “basket”, I walked up to the family. Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. The father stepped forward, eyes shining with gratitude, and gently took it. Noticing the mixed items, the mother realized they were from other struggling families. So, they stepped back into the hall, bowing to thank everyone and exchanging a few words, smiles lighting every face. That night, I grasped the true meaning of Thanksgiving: the warmth of sharing could really bind people together and small kindness helped create deep connections. 范文二： Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, I stopped them and asked them to wait a minute. I turned to the 10 families who had just received their food baskets and explained the situation, hoping they could help. To my delight, every family responded warmly at once—some gave a turkey or ham from their own baskets, others shared sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce or dessert, and even the kids handed over their favorite snacks. Soon, we put together a full, heartwarming “basket”, packed not just with food, but with the whole community’s love and generosity. Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. The father shook my hand tightly, his voice trembling as he thanked everyone present. The mother hugged each contributing family member, while their child held a warm cookie and smiled brightly at the crowd. The hall brimmed with even more warmth and joy, as we realized Thanksgiving was never about how much we gave, but about sharing with those in need. This unforgettable moment became the true holiday spirit for me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以感恩节捐赠食物为线索展开，讲述了作者和教堂成员在感恩节前准备食物篮，为社区10个有经济困难的家庭送去节日大餐，在家庭们准备离开时，一对夫妇带着孩子前来求助，作者因物资有限无法提供帮助而深感愧疚，随后在其他受助家庭的热心捐赠下，为这家人拼凑出一份特殊的食物篮，让他们感受到感恩节温暖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这家人失望地准备离开时，我叫住了他们，让他们等一会儿。”可知，第一段写作者求助其他家庭，众人捐赠拼凑食物篮。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到这个特殊的‘篮子’，这家人感动得流下了眼泪。”可知，第二段写家人感恩，作者领悟感恩节真谛。 2.续写线索：叫住家人——说明情况——众人捐赠——拼凑食物篮——家人感动——表达感谢——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②包裹：pack/wrap ③理解：grasp/understand 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/sorry ②感激：gratitude/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] My heart twisting with guilt and a flicker of hope, I turned to the other families, explaining their situation softly and sincerely.（独立主格结构作状语以及现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Noticing the mixed items, the mother realized they were from other struggling families.（运用了现在分词作时间状语以及省略连接词that的宾语从句作realized的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $成都外国语学校2025至2026学年4月月考高2英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I'm a bit cold.
