Well, look no further and take part in a sea turtle conservation project at a summer camp in Bali, where you’ll be involved in a volunteer program at a turtle protection center.(你是否对青少年志愿者项目感兴趣？那么，无需再寻找了，快来参加在巴厘岛夏令营开展的海龟保护项目吧，在那里你将参与一家海龟保护中心的志愿者活动)”可知，文章开篇直接邀请青少年参加巴厘岛的海龟保护志愿项目，接着介绍志愿工作内容、时间安排，核心目的是吸引志愿者参与该保护项目，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Your Volunteer Role部分中“Please note, a high level of physical fitness is essential for this project. Meanwhile, the field work is physically demanding, as volunteers have to walk one hour to and from the project site each day.(请注意，该项目对身体素质有较高要求。同时，实地工作较为体力消耗，因为志愿者每天需要步行一小时往返项目地点)”可知，良好的身体素质是该项目的必要要求，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“2-day Ubud Art & Rice Terraces —$125 (private car and guide included)( 2 日乌布艺术与稻田之旅——125 美元（包含私人车辆和导游）)”可知，该旅游套餐符合文化之旅、200美元预算内和周末出行的要求，故选A。 B In my first year of art teaching, I followed the teaching plan strictly and began with still lives. Gradually, my students had a good grasp of techniques — shading, perspective and composition. Yet their works of fruits and vases, though accurate, felt empty. It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments. Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”. I began by asking students to select an emotion card — loneliness, joy, longing — and sketch (素描) freely around it. Hesitation filled the room, pencils held still. I didn’t rush them. Instead, I shared stories of artists who channeled inner worlds into visual form and showed examples where personal memory met craft. Then, I introduced the core assignment: “Create a piece about a memory that shaped you. The emotion must be real.” In the next week, we were buried in developing sketches, experimenting with materials, and talking about what makes a feeling visible. On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging. Standing before their work, I felt my own teaching shift beneath me. Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion. My role, I now see, is to ignite the spark that guides their hand from heart to paper. 4. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To follow the plan. B. To rearrange the desks. C. To switch the roles. D. To change the situation. 5. Why are the two students mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To compare students’ skill levels. B. To explain the teacher’s requirements. C. To prove the effectiveness of the new unit. D. To display the techniques in students’ works. 6. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Strict and reserved. B. Reflective and adaptive. C. Caring and demanding. D. Accessible and determined. 7. What is the main message conveyed by the text? A. Art speaks from within. B. Art requires experiences. C. Art mirrors life’s changes. D. Art improves with practice. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位美术老师在教学初期发现学生作品虽技巧熟练但缺乏情感，于是设计名为“艺术之声”的新单元，引导学生基于真实情感和记忆进行创作，最终学生的作品充满了生命力，让老师深刻反思到艺术的真谛在于内在情感的表达。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语上文“It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments.(然而，在他们那份放在桌上的草稿中，我第一次感受到了他们情感的奔放和创造力的迸发，这种特质在他们的正式作业中我却很少见到)”提到老师发现学生作品缺乏活力，下文“I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”(我设计了一个名为“有声艺术”的新单元)”描述老师决心设计新单元改变这一状况。因此，“turn the tables”意为“扭转局面，改变形势”（To change the situation）。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging.(在展览当天，我目睹了一次悄然的转变。一位以“童年”为主题进行创作的学生展示了一组素描作品。他描绘了自己童年时期的一辆破旧的铁皮火车，运用我们熟练的光影效果来勾勒出其形状和磨损之处。另一位学生则专注于一位同学送给她的一条围巾。她通过细微的色调变化和精准的线条描绘，展现了织物的质地以及边缘褪色的图案。构图的简洁性以一种轻柔而深沉的方式，诉说着联系与归属感)”可知，作者在介绍新单元“Art with a Voice”的实施后，列举了两个学生的具体作品案例，是为了展示新教学方法带来的积极成果，即证明新单元的有效性。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments.(然而，在他们那份放在桌上的草稿中，我第一次感受到了他们情感的奔放和创造力的迸发，这种特质在他们的正式作业中我却很少见到)”以及第三段“Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”.(为了扭转局面，我设计了一个名为“有声艺术”的新单元)”可知，老师能发现教学中的问题（反思），并主动调整教学计划（适应性强），设计新单元引导学生，体现了其善于反思和适应的特点。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion.(艺术并非通过高超的技巧和模仿来展现，而是通过丰富的情感表达来体现)”可知，主要传达的信息是“艺术源于内心”。故选A。 C Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. Researchers have used it for various treatments, including helping burn victims and fixing problems related to the stomach and heart. Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.” Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury. Brazil’s Burn Support Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the acellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin. Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight. So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat. 8. Why is Tilapia popular in medicine? A. For its eyes. B. For its skin. C. For its blood. D. For its oil. 9. What makes the dogs with short noses frequently get injured? A. Their eyes’ position. B. Their playful nature. C. Their active movement. D. Their hair’s length. 10. What can we infer about horse placental collagen? A. It is only related to horses’ weight. B. It is easier to obtain than tilapia collagen. C. It is not affected by horses’ type and weight. D. It is not always available at any stage of horses’ growth. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Melo’s concern for tilapia B. Melo’s confidence in teaching. C. The characteristic of tilapia’s collagen. D. The application of tilapia’s collagen. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了巴西的一位动物眼科医生Mirza Melo受到其他医学领域同事的启发，尝试使用罗非鱼皮来治疗狗的眼部问题，并详细介绍了罗非鱼皮中的胶原蛋白在治疗中的应用及其优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine.(罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这是一种有助于生成和修复组织的蛋白质。正因如此，罗非鱼皮在医学领域日益受到青睐)”可知，罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这种蛋白质有助于生成和修复组织，所以罗非鱼皮在医学领域受到欢迎。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.”(她主要关注角膜溃疡和穿孔等眼部问题，这些问题在短鼻犬中较为常见。“这些狗的眼睛凸出于面部，”她说，“所以它们经常受伤。”)”可知，短鼻犬的眼睛凸出于面部，这种眼睛的位置导致它们经常受伤。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight.(罗非鱼在其一生中，鱼皮中的胶原蛋白质量始终保持在较高水平且稳定，而马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量则会因马的年龄和体重而异)”可知，因为马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量受马的年龄和体重等因素影响，这意味着在马生长的不同阶段，马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量不稳定，可能并非在任何阶段都能稳定获取到符合要求的马胎盘胶原蛋白。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat.(到目前为止，Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了 400 多只狗。术后，这些狗没有表现出疼痛或感染症状，并且愈合迅速，疤痕极小。Melo现在计划将这种技术应用于猫，甚至正在探讨如何将其改进后用于治疗极其敏感且治疗难度大的人类眼部疾病)”可知，最后一段指出Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了 400 多只狗，且效果良好，还计划将该技术应用于猫，甚至探讨用于治疗人类眼部疾病，这一系列内容都在围绕罗非鱼皮胶原蛋白的应用展开。故选D。 D What if the solution to the climate crisis lay not underground, but in the air around us? Inspired by natural photosynthesis (光合作用), researchers from Cambridge University have developed a solar-powered direct air capture (DAC) reactor, offering a promising alternative to traditional carbon capture technologies. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been claimed as a possible solution to the climate crisis, and has recently received £22 billion in funding from the UK government. However, CCS is energy-intensive and raises long-term safety concerns over underground pressured CO₂ storage, and even provides an excuse for continued fossil fuel use. As a non-circular process, CCS stores CO₂ indefinitely without any practical value, according to Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research on the new DAC reactor. Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the DAC reactor does not require fossil-fuel-based power. It takes CO₂ directly from the air and transforms it into syngas: a kind of key material in the production of many chemicals and medicines. The researchers say their approach, which does not require any transportation or storage, is much easier to scale up than earlier solar-powered devices to achieve widespread commercial production. The DAC reactor, a solar-powered flow device, uses specialised equipment to grab CO₂ from the air at night, like how a sponge takes in water. When the sun comes out, the sunlight heats up the captured CO₂, absorbing infrared radiation (红外线), and a semiconductor powder absorbs the ultraviolet radiation (紫外线) to start a chemical reaction that turns the captured CO₂ into solar syngas. A mirror on the reactor concentrates the sunlight, making the transforming process more efficient. Currently, the research group is working on transforming the solar syngas into liquid fuel, a development that, if successful, could provide a sustainable alternative to supply energy for cars, planes, and more. The team is also hopeful that their solar reactor could also generate fuel in remote locations. “Instead of continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels to produce the products we have come to rely on, we can get all the CO₂ we need directly from the air and reuse it.” said Reisner. 12. Why is CCS technology mentioned in the text? A. To Introduce CCS’s application. B. To highlight DAC’s advantages. C. To criticize the financial support. D. To explain CCS’s working principle. 13. Which of the following is DAC’s feature? A. Requiring fossil-fuel power. B. Producing chemicals at night. C. Enabling convenient expansion. D. Using mirrors to help capture CO₂. 14. What would the DAC technology be applied to? A. Generating solid fuel. B. Supplying energy for vehicles. C. Producing solar power. D. Developing radiation treatment. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Better Way to Capture Carbon B. Storing Carbon as an Alternative C. Turning Air into Fuel with Sunshine D. The Magic of Solar-Powered Reactions 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一种新型的太阳能直接空气捕获（DAC）反应器，其灵感来自光合作用，能直接将空气中的二氧化碳转化为合成气，与传统的碳捕获与封存（CCS）技术相比具有无需化石能源、易于扩大规模等优势，并展望了其生产液态燃料的应用前景。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been claimed as a possible solution to the climate crisis, and has recently received £22 billion in funding from the UK government. However, CCS is energy-intensive and raises long-term safety concerns over underground pressured CO₂ storage, and even provides an excuse for continued fossil fuel use. As a non-circular process, CCS stores CO₂ indefinitely without any practical value, according to Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research on the new DAC reactor.(碳捕获与封存（CCS）曾被宣称是应对气候危机的一种可能解决方案，并且最近从英国政府获得了220亿英镑的资金支持。然而，CCS是一种高能耗技术，并且在地下高压二氧化碳储存方面引发了长期的安全隐患，甚至为继续使用化石燃料提供了借口。据领导新型 DAC 反应器研究的埃里翁·赖斯纳教授称，作为一种非循环过程，CCS会将二氧化碳无限期地储存起来，而没有任何实际价值)”可知，在第二段首先介绍了CCS技术及其存在的问题（高能耗、安全隐患、为化石燃料使用提供借口等），目的是通过对比，突出DAC技术的优势。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers say their approach, which does not require any transportation or storage, is much easier to scale up than earlier solar-powered devices to achieve widespread commercial production.(研究人员表示，他们的这种方法无需任何运输或储存环节，相比早期的太阳能设备，其可扩展性要强得多，从而能够实现大规模的商业化生产)”可知，DAC反应器的特点是便于扩大规模。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Currently, the research group is working on transforming the solar syngas into liquid fuel, a development that, if successful, could provide a sustainable alternative to supply energy for cars, planes, and more.(目前，该研究小组正致力于将太阳能合成气转化为液体燃料。如果这一研发取得成功，将为汽车、飞机等提供一种可持续的能源供应方案)”可知，DAC技术未来可能应用于为交通工具提供能源。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“What if the solution to the climate crisis lay not underground, but in the air around us? Inspired by natural photosynthesis (光合作用), researchers from Cambridge University have developed a solar-powered direct air capture (DAC) reactor, offering a promising alternative to traditional carbon capture technologies.(倘若解决气候危机的方法并非存在于地下，而是存在于我们周围的空气中呢？受到自然光合作用的启发，剑桥大学的研究人员开发出了一种太阳能驱动的直接空气捕获（DAC）反应器，为传统的碳捕获技术提供了一种极具前景的替代方案)”可知，文章核心是介绍这种利用太阳能将空气中的二氧化碳（空气）转化为合成气（燃料）的新技术。C选项“用阳光将空气转化为燃料”最符合文章标题。故选C。 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。 How to Develop an Effective Morning Reading Habit Morning reading is a precious routine for language learning and mental enrichment. It takes advantage of the fresh state of the brain after a good rest, making it easier to memorize information and understand deep content. However, many people struggle to stick to it or find their reading time inefficient.____16____Here are practical tips to build a morning reading habit that works for you. ____17____ The key to a sustainable morning reading habit is to start small. If you force yourself to read for an hour on the first day, you’re likely to feel burnt out quickly. Instead, set a realistic goal, like 15 or 20 minutes a day. This low threshold makes it easy to get started, and as the habit forms, you can gradually extend the time. Consistency is far more important than the length of each reading session. It’s also vital to choose the right reading materials.____18____ If you’re learning English, pick articles or novels that match your level — not too easy that you gain nothing, nor too hard that you lose motivation. For personal growth, select books that align with your interests or goals. When the content appeals to you, morning reading will feel like a pleasure rather than a chore. Create a dedicated reading space to get in the mood.____19____ It could be a cozy chair by the window, a desk in your study, or even a corner of the living room. Keep this space clean and free of distractions like phones or tablets. Having a fixed spot helps your brain associate the area with reading, making it easier to focus as soon as you sit down. Don’t just read passively — interact with the content. Write down key sentences, underline unfamiliar words, or jot down your thoughts in the margin.____20____ This active reading method not only helps you remember what you read but also deepens your understanding. You’ll find that your morning reading becomes more meaningful when you don’t just “scan” words but truly engage with them. Building a morning reading habit is not about being perfect, but about being persistent. It may take a few weeks for the routine to stick, but once it does, you’ll reap the benefits of a sharper mind, richer knowledge, and a peaceful start to your day. A. Start with a small daily goal. B. Reading in the morning is a common habit for students. C. The problem often lies in the way they approach it. D. Avoid reading materials that are far beyond your ability. E. A messy environment will only make your mind unfocused. F. Passive reading is a waste of time and energy for most people. G. You can also recite beautiful paragraphs aloud to boost memory. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍晨读的益处，针对人们难以坚持晨读或效率低的问题，给出养成有效晨读习惯的实用建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“However, many people struggle to stick to it or find their reading time inefficient.(然而，许多人很难坚持下去，或者发现他们的阅读时间效率低下)”以及下文“Here are practical tips to build a morning reading habit that works for you.(这里有一些实用的建议，帮助你养成适合自己的晨读习惯)”可知，此处应衔接上文的晨读难题，引出下文的解决建议，C选项“The problem often lies in the way they approach it.(问题通常出在他们处理这件事的方式上)”既点明了晨读效率低、难以坚持的原因，又自然过渡到下文的建议，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“The key to a sustainable morning reading habit is to start small. If you force yourself to read for an hour on the first day, you’re likely to feel burnt out quickly.

Nor did I expect what the tea would come to mean. The meaning became ____37____ (vivid) clear to me in Chengdu. There, my students and I sat for tea in Daci Temple. They made it carefully, ____38____ (perform) each step from memory. When I asked why they washed the cups and poured away the ____39____ (one) cup of tea, they hesitated. It’s what their parents and grandparents do and they learned it ____40____ them, they said. The tradition was about continuity — repeating a gesture ____41____ countless hands had done before. A quiet ceremony of connection. In moments like this, I saw something I rarely encounter in the US — a drink that commands respect for its meaning. In the West, tea ____42____ (see) as a functional drink — something to energize or calm. But in China, tea goes beyond this. It is relational. It is ceremonial. Even when shared casually between friends, it ____43____ (carry) an unspoken respect. As China becomes more ____44____ (center) to global cultural conversations, its tea traditions deserve greater global attention. Not just as a drink, but as an expression of history, hospitality (好客), and human connection. When a student gives you tea from their home province, what they’re really giving you is ____45____ look at who they are, where they’re from, and how they stay connected to it. 【答案】36. to come 37. vividly 38. performing 39. first 40. from 41. that/ which 42. is seen 43. carries 44. central 45. a 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在中国教法律时，体会到茶的深层意义。中国茶文化不仅是饮品，更承载着传统、礼仪与人情，体现了历史、好客与情感联结，值得世界关注。 【36题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：当我来到中国教授法律时，我未曾料到会带回如此多的茶叶。动词短语expect to do sth.“期望做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to come。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：在成都，我清楚地认识到了这一点。由副词修饰形容词可知，此处修饰形容词clear，用副词vividly，vividly clear“非常清晰”。故填vividly。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们精心准备，每一个步骤都牢记于心。空处为非谓语动词作状语，perform和逻辑主语They为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填performing。 【39题详解】 考查序数词。句意：当我询问他们为何要清洗杯子并倒掉第一杯茶时，他们犹豫了。定冠词the修饰序数词，空处需填序数词first。故填first。 【40题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：这是他们的父母和祖父母的做法，他们是从那里学来的，他们说。固定短语learn...from...“向……学习……”。故填from。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这个传统关乎延续性——重复无数双手曾经做过的行为。设空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是gesture，指物，在从句中作宾语，所以用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/ which。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：在西方，茶被视为一种功能性饮品——用来提神或镇静。根据句意可知，tea和see为被动关系，结合上文时态可知，为一般现在时，主语tea为不可数名词。故填is seen。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：即使是在朋友之间随意分享时，它也蕴含着一种无言的尊重。空处作谓语，结合上文时态可知，为一般现在时，主语 it，动词用第三人称单数 carries。故填carries。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：随着中国在全球文化对话中变得越来越重要，其茶文化理应得到更多的全球关注。根据空前becomes为系动词可知，此处为形容词作表语：central意为“重要的，核心的”。故填central。 【45题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：当一名学生从其家乡省份为你端上茶时，他们实际上是在向你展示他们是谁、他们来自哪里，以及他们是如何与家乡保持联系的。固定短语a look at“看一看，了解”。故填a。 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校将举办国际文化节，主题为“和世界，合未来”（Bridging the World, Sharing the Future），你将与英国留学生Luke合作表演一个节目。请你写一封邮件与他交流节目设想，内容包括： 1.节目形式及设计理由； 2.约定商量时间。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Luke, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Luke, I’m writing to share my idea for our performance at the International Cultural Festival themed “Bridging the World, Sharing the Future”.

It was not just a simple mailbox, but a warm bond with the nearby three families. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight spilled over the roof, Grandma would put on her shoes, hold a small bamboo basket, and walk slowly to the corner with her slightly bent back. She would carefully collect her own letters and the daily newspapers for the elderly neighbors next door — Mr. Smith who suffered from leg pain and Ms. Brown who lived alone, both of whom could barely walk downstairs. Those newspapers were their main way to learn about the outside world, and Grandma’s small act of kindness had quietly lasted for years, warming the whole neighborhood. On a holiday afternoon, Tom, a college student majoring in architecture, came to visit Grandma as usual. When he turned the corner, he was shocked to find the mailbox lying on the ground, its wooden body split into several pieces. He glanced around instinctively and saw a man walking a large dog in the distance. There was a crumpled note stuck on the wall beside it, which read, “Sorry, my dog knocked your mailbox over accidentally. I’ll come to fix it later.” Seeing the broken mailbox and scattered wood pieces, Grandma sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry. She squatted down gently, stroked the worn wood with her rough hands, and murmured in a low voice, “What shall I do now?” Tom knew the elderly neighbors were heavily dependent on the newspapers. Without the mailbox, how could they get the news on time? What if the dog owner broke his promise and couldn’t fix the mailbox today? Watching Grandma’s helpless expression, he felt a strong desire in his heart. 注意： （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: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. He squatted down to comfort Grandma, saying he would make a new and stronger one to let the neighbors get newspapers on time. Grandma nodded in relief, her worry fading a little as she patted Tom’s hand. Tom quickly sketched a design on paper, and then hurried to a nearby hardware store to buy materials. After he returned, he laid out all materials neatly, measured and marked the boards precisely with a ruler, and got ready to craft the new mailbox. When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. Looking guilty with a toolbox, he apologized sincerely, and explained his dog got excited when chasing a cat and knocked over the mailbox and that he’d been rushing over after handling his work to make up for it. Seeing Tom’s prepared materials and the sketch, he offered to help immediately. With Tom’s professional guidance on structure and his handy work with tools, they worked together smoothly to assemble, paint and install the mailbox. Grandma, Mr. Smith and Ms. Brown watched quietly, their faces full of joy and relief. Looking at the sturdy new blue mailbox, Tom realized architecture was not just about designing objects, but about using his skills to safeguard small kindnesses and build a more harmonious community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述奶奶的旧木邮箱矗立社区二十年，是邻里间温暖的纽带。她常年帮行动不便的邻居取信送报，传递温暖。假期里，邮箱被路人的狗撞倒损坏，奶奶十分忧心。学建筑的大学生Tom见状，内心涌起强烈的想要帮忙的念头。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tom觉得这个邮箱太旧了，决定做一个新的。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Tom决定为奶奶做一个新邮箱，安慰老人后画图买料，认真准备制作。 ②由第二段首句内容“一切准备就绪时，狗主人赶到了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：狗主人前来道歉并帮忙，二人合力做好新邮箱。Tom明白建筑可守护善意、共建和谐社区。 2.续写线索：Tom决定做一个新邮箱——画图买料——狗主人前来道歉并帮忙——合力完成——Tom的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蹲下：squat down/crouch down ②购买：buy/purchase ③解释：explain/interpret 情绪类 ①焦虑：worry/anxiety ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Grandma nodded in relief, her worry fading a little as she patted Tom’s hand. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Seeing Tom’s prepared materials and the sketch, he offered to help immediately.（运用了现在分词 Seeing作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 惠州中学2025-2026学年高二年级第二学期4月月考 英语 本试卷共8页，47小题，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液，不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，不得折叠。 第一部分 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 Are you interested in volunteer programs for teens? Well, look no further and take part in a sea turtle conservation project at a summer camp in Bali, where you’ll be involved in a volunteer program at a turtle protection center. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a truly impressing international experience! Your Volunteer Role This project is well suited to those who want to learn more about these amazing animals and help in the efforts of preserving their numbers. As a volunteer, your key responsibilities may include: · Daily Turtle Care: Feeding, health monitoring, and releasing hatched baby turtles into the sea. · Habitat Maintenance: Cleaning beach areas. · Visitor Engagement: Interacting with the public and helping design educational boards. Please note, a high level of physical fitness is essential for this project. Meanwhile, the field work is physically demanding, as volunteers have to walk one hour to and from the project site each day. Your Schedule at a Glance (Minimum 2-week commitment) : The program runs from Monday to Friday, usually from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. On beach cleaning days, sessions may be shorter due to heat as you have to work without shade. Weekends and days off, you can choose how to spend the time, either on site and relax or take the following optional travel packages. · 2-day Ubud Art & Rice Terraces —$125 (private car and guide included) · 3-day Volcano Trek & Jungle Adventure —$190 (private jeep, guide and equipment included) · 4- day Island Hopping (Nusa Lembongan) —$380 (boat transfers, guide and equipment included) · Weekend Surfer’s Coast (Canggu & Uluwatu) —$150 (private taxi and surf lesson included) 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To advertise the travel packages. B. To describe conservation condition in Bali. C. To explain how to protect sea turtles. D. To attract volunteers to a conservation project. 2. What is a key requirement for volunteers in the project? A. Great expertise in design. B. A good physical condition. C. Fluent English speaking skills. D. Previous volunteering experience. 3. Which travel package is best for a cultural trip on a $200 weekend budget? A. Ubud Art & Rice Terraces B. Volcano Trek & Jungle Adventure C. Island Hopping (Nusa Lembongan) D. Surfer’s Coast (Canggu & Uluwatu) B In my first year of art teaching, I followed the teaching plan strictly and began with still lives. Gradually, my students had a good grasp of techniques — shading, perspective and composition. Yet their works of fruits and vases, though accurate, felt empty. It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments. Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”. I began by asking students to select an emotion card — loneliness, joy, longing — and sketch (素描) freely around it. Hesitation filled the room, pencils held still. I didn’t rush them. Instead, I shared stories of artists who channeled inner worlds into visual form and showed examples where personal memory met craft. Then, I introduced the core assignment: “Create a piece about a memory that shaped you. The emotion must be real.” In the next week, we were buried in developing sketches, experimenting with materials, and talking about what makes a feeling visible. On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging. Standing before their work, I felt my own teaching shift beneath me. Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion. My role, I now see, is to ignite the spark that guides their hand from heart to paper. 4. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To follow the plan. B. To rearrange the desks. C. To switch the roles. D. To change the situation. 5. Why are the two students mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To compare students’ skill levels. B. To explain the teacher’s requirements. C. To prove the effectiveness of the new unit. D. To display the techniques in students’ works. 6. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Strict and reserved. B. Reflective and adaptive. C. Caring and demanding. D. Accessible and determined. 7. What is the main message conveyed by the text? A. Art speaks from within. B. Art requires experiences. C. Art mirrors life’s changes. D. Art improves with practice. C Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. Researchers have used it for various treatments, including helping burn victims and fixing problems related to the stomach and heart. Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.” Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury. Brazil’s Burn Support Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the acellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin. Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight. So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat. 8. Why is Tilapia popular in medicine? A. For its eyes. B. For its skin. C. For its blood. D. For its oil. 9. What makes the dogs with short noses frequently get injured? A. Their eyes’ position. B. Their playful nature. C. Their active movement. D. Their hair’s length. 10. What can we infer about horse placental collagen? A. It is only related to horses’ weight. B. It is easier to obtain than tilapia collagen. C. It is not affected by horses’ type and weight. D. It is not always available at any stage of horses’ growth. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Melo’s concern for tilapia B. Melo’s confidence in teaching. C. The characteristic of tilapia’s collagen. D. The application of tilapia’s collagen. D What if the solution to the climate crisis lay not underground, but in the air around us? Inspired by natural photosynthesis (光合作用), researchers from Cambridge University have developed a solar-powered direct air capture (DAC) reactor, offering a promising alternative to traditional carbon capture technologies. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been claimed as a possible solution to the climate crisis, and has recently received £22 billion in funding from the UK government. However, CCS is energy-intensive and raises long-term safety concerns over underground pressured CO₂ storage, and even provides an excuse for continued fossil fuel use. As a non-circular process, CCS stores CO₂ indefinitely without any practical value, according to Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research on the new DAC reactor. Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the DAC reactor does not require fossil-fuel-based power. It takes CO₂ directly from the air and transforms it into syngas: a kind of key material in the production of many chemicals and medicines. The researchers say their approach, which does not require any transportation or storage, is much easier to scale up than earlier solar-powered devices to achieve widespread commercial production. The DAC reactor, a solar-powered flow device, uses specialised equipment to grab CO₂ from the air at night, like how a sponge takes in water. When the sun comes out, the sunlight heats up the captured CO₂, absorbing infrared radiation (红外线), and a semiconductor powder absorbs the ultraviolet radiation (紫外线) to start a chemical reaction that turns the captured CO₂ into solar syngas. A mirror on the reactor concentrates the sunlight, making the transforming process more efficient. Currently, the research group is working on transforming the solar syngas into liquid fuel, a development that, if successful, could provide a sustainable alternative to supply energy for cars, planes, and more. The team is also hopeful that their solar reactor could also generate fuel in remote locations. “Instead of continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels to produce the products we have come to rely on, we can get all the CO₂ we need directly from the air and reuse it.” said Reisner. 12. Why is CCS technology mentioned in the text? A. To Introduce CCS’s application. B. To highlight DAC’s advantages. C. To criticize the financial support. D. To explain CCS’s working principle. 13. Which of the following is DAC’s feature? A. Requiring fossil-fuel power. B. Producing chemicals at night. C. Enabling convenient expansion. D. Using mirrors to help capture CO₂. 14. What would the DAC technology be applied to? A. Generating solid fuel. B. Supplying energy for vehicles. C. Producing solar power. D. Developing radiation treatment. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Better Way to Capture Carbon B. Storing Carbon as an Alternative C. Turning Air into Fuel with Sunshine D. The Magic of Solar-Powered Reactions 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。 How to Develop an Effective Morning Reading Habit Morning reading is a precious routine for language learning and mental enrichment. It takes advantage of the fresh state of the brain after a good rest, making it easier to memorize information and understand deep content. However, many people struggle to stick to it or find their reading time inefficient.____16____Here are practical tips to build a morning reading habit that works for you. ____17____ The key to a sustainable morning reading habit is to start small. If you force yourself to read for an hour on the first day, you’re likely to feel burnt out quickly. Instead, set a realistic goal, like 15 or 20 minutes a day. This low threshold makes it easy to get started, and as the habit forms, you can gradually extend the time. Consistency is far more important than the length of each reading session. It’s also vital to choose the right reading materials.____18____ If you’re learning English, pick articles or novels that match your level — not too easy that you gain nothing, nor too hard that you lose motivation. For personal growth, select books that align with your interests or goals. When the content appeals to you, morning reading will feel like a pleasure rather than a chore. Create a dedicated reading space to get in the mood.____19____ It could be a cozy chair by the window, a desk in your study, or even a corner of the living room. Keep this space clean and free of distractions like phones or tablets. Having a fixed spot helps your brain associate the area with reading, making it easier to focus as soon as you sit down. Don’t just read passively — interact with the content. Write down key sentences, underline unfamiliar words, or jot down your thoughts in the margin.____20____ This active reading method not only helps you remember what you read but also deepens your understanding. You’ll find that your morning reading becomes more meaningful when you don’t just “scan” words but truly engage with them. Building a morning reading habit is not about being perfect, but about being persistent. It may take a few weeks for the routine to stick, but once it does, you’ll reap the benefits of a sharper mind, richer knowledge, and a peaceful start to your day. A. Start with a small daily goal. B. Reading in the morning is a common habit for students. C. The problem often lies in the way they approach it. D. Avoid reading materials that are far beyond your ability. E. A messy environment will only make your mind unfocused. F. Passive reading is a waste of time and energy for most people. G. You can also recite beautiful paragraphs aloud to boost memory. 第二部分 语言知识运用（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。 I grow tomatoes yearly but never buy seeds.

It was not just a simple mailbox, but a warm bond with the nearby three families. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight spilled over the roof, Grandma would put on her shoes, hold a small bamboo basket, and walk slowly to the corner with her slightly bent back. She would carefully collect her own letters and the daily newspapers for the elderly neighbors next door — Mr. Smith who suffered from leg pain and Ms. Brown who lived alone, both of whom could barely walk downstairs. Those newspapers were their main way to learn about the outside world, and Grandma’s small act of kindness had quietly lasted for years, warming the whole neighborhood. On a holiday afternoon, Tom, a college student majoring in architecture, came to visit Grandma as usual. When he turned the corner, he was shocked to find the mailbox lying on the ground, its wooden body split into several pieces. He glanced around instinctively and saw a man walking a large dog in the distance. There was a crumpled note stuck on the wall beside it, which read, “Sorry, my dog knocked your mailbox over accidentally. I’ll come to fix it later.” Seeing the broken mailbox and scattered wood pieces, Grandma sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry. She squatted down gently, stroked the worn wood with her rough hands, and murmured in a low voice, “What shall I do now?” Tom knew the elderly neighbors were heavily dependent on the newspapers. Without the mailbox, how could they get the news on time? What if the dog owner broke his promise and couldn’t fix the mailbox today? Watching Grandma’s helpless expression, he felt a strong desire in his heart. 注意： （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: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
