Here is a list of bilingual (双语的) books for them. Keep in mind that different kids require different books depending on their own reading level. DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG This is a book with a simple storyline. After Daniel finds an egg, he is very curious. What could be inside it? It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s probably not the second one! Whatever it is, kids can learn a good amount of vocabulary from this book, especially as it mentions some animals in both languages. I LOVE SATURDAYS Y DOMINGOS This book follows the narrator (叙述者) on her visits to her grandparents.With her grandparents, she speaks English; but with her mother, she speaks Spanish. She is a Mexican American. There we can see the differences both in the languages and in the ways her grandparents and mother celebrate her birthday. This is families and the thing they all share: their love for their loved ones. UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS This short book has six stories that show different plots (情节) like strange neighbors and mystical science projects. It turns ordinary situations into unusual adventures that any child will love to read. All stories celebrate strong relationships with people, whether they are friends, family, or teachers.The stories have some pictures which help kids form a mental picture of the story. MAXIMILIAN & THE MYSTERY OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL This book follows an 11-year-old wrestling (摔跤) lover who one day discovers his connection to a famous wrestler called the Guardian Angel. It does have pictures, but they don’t contribute much to the story. The book is full of action, and it tells a story children can enjoy from beginning to end. 21. What can we say about DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG? A. It follows the changes of an egg. B. It lets kids’ imagination run wild. C. It focuses on kids’ colorful school life. D. It teaches kids to be friendly to animals. 22. What do the narrator’s visits to her grandparents show? A. Her poor relationships with her family. B. The difficulty in communication. C. Her family’s long history. D. Some cultural differences. 23. What do the last two books have in common? A. They both include adventurous plots. B. They both use pictures to attract kids. C. They both help improve kids’ science knowledge. D. They both have interesting and talented leading roles. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本针对儿童的书的情况。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is a book with a simple storyline. After Daniel finds an egg, he is very curious. What could be inside it? It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s probably not the second one! Whatever it is, kids can learn a good amount of vocabulary from this book, especially as it mentions some animals in both languages.(这是一本故事情节简单的书。丹尼尔发现一个鸡蛋后，他非常好奇。里面会有什么？它是一只鸟！这是一架飞机！这可能不是第二个！不管是什么，孩子们都可以从这本书中学到大量的词汇，尤其是它用两种语言提到了一些动物)”可知，丹尼尔的神秘蛋让孩子们的想象力自由发挥。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This book follows the narrator (叙述者) on her visits to her grandparents. With her grandparents, she speaks English; but with her mother, she speaks Spanish. She is a Mexican American. There we can see the differences both in the languages and in the ways her grandparents and mother celebrate her birthday.(这本书讲述了叙述者拜访祖父母的故事。和祖父母在一起，她说英语；但她和妈妈说西班牙语。她是墨西哥裔美国人。在那里，我们可以看到语言和她的祖父母和母亲庆祝她生日的方式的差异)”可知，叙述者拜访她的祖父母说明了一些文化差异。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It turns ordinary situations into unusual adventures that any child will love to read.(它把普通的情况变成了不寻常的冒险，任何孩子都会喜欢读)”以及最后一段“The book is full of action, and it tells a story children can enjoy from beginning to end.(这本书充满了惊险刺激的活动，它讲述了一个孩子们从头到尾都喜欢的故事)”可知，最后两本书的共同之处在于都有冒险情节。故选A。 B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。 C People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though their lifespans can reach 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improve the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” said the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s.Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not use. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in rats, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.” 28. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing. 29. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage. 30. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body sizes. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The huger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have. 31. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. C. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes have been used to cure cancer patients. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章研究揭示大象不易患癌的原因——携带多个TP53基因，有望据此研发人类癌症防治新策略。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy.(芝加哥大学的一个研究小组发现，大象携带大量阻止肿瘤生长的基因。确切地说，他们在大象体内发现了20个名为TP53的抗肿瘤基因拷贝。大多数其他物种，只携带一个拷贝。)”可知，大象不太可能患癌症是因为它们携带许多防止肿瘤发展的基因。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch . (该研究的作者文森特·林奇说：“患癌症风险的增加阻碍了许多动物向大体型进化。”)”可知，在大型动物的进化过程中，致命的肿瘤是一个风险。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.(如果每个活细胞都有同样的癌变机会，那么像鲸鱼和大象这样寿命长的大型生物患癌症的风险应该比人类和老鼠更高。但在不同物种中，患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联。)”可知，患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联，划线短语“This phenomenon”为特指上文中的内容，所以划线短语指代的是“患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联”。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.(“大自然已经找到了预防癌症的方法，”犹他大学医学院的生物学家约书亚·施夫曼（Joshua Schiffman）说。“我们该去了解不同动物是如何应对这个问题的，从而利用这些策略来预防人类的癌症。”)”以及前文提到大象体内TP53基因的作用可知，人类有望通过对TP53基因的研究来预防癌症。故选B项。 D Inspired by butterfly wings, a team of German researchers have developed a new kind of robotic wings that can work using only magnetic fields (磁场). The new wings created by the Technical University of Darmstadt researchers need no batteries or electronics. The researchers drew inspiration from the remarkable efficiency and endurance (持久力) of monarch butterflies, known to have incredibly long migrations between Canada and Mexico. Every autumn, millions of Monarch butterflies start a 3,000-mile journey from their North American breeding grounds to the warmer climate of southwestern Mexico for the winter. These new robotic wings achieve energy-efficient flight by combining movement with passive bending, which was rarely copied outside the natural world. The team, led by Professor Oliver Gutfleisch and Dr. Denys Makarov, used a combination of flexible plastic fixed with tiny magnetic particles (颗粒) to build the wings. The team found that the magnetic particles, when exposed to external magnetic fields, caused the wings to bend in a manner similar to that of butterflies. Achieving the desired design proved challenging; however, after testing fewer than 12 different designs, the team could develop wings strikingly similar to those that evolved in butterflies. Looking ahead, these new wings could have a wide range of applications. One could be environmental research in which winged robots monitor pollinator populations or measure air quality. They could also be helpful in disasters, with their small, energy-efficient design enabling robots to navigate dangerous areas for search and rescue operations. The team also pointed out that the new design could also be readily adapted for medical sciences. The principle of using magnetic particles in this way could also open doors for developing new kinds of artificial muscles or other innovative materials that can change shape on demand. While the robotic wings currently rely on external magnetic fields to change shape, the team is optimistic about integrating man-made magnetic field generators into future upgrades of the technology. “We plan to explore what changes to magnetic fields can enable more complex movements and control,” explained Muhammad Bilal Khan, another lead author. 32. What’s the driving power of the robotic wings? A. The air pressure. B. The magnetic field. C. The rechargeable battery. D. The electronic motor. 33. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The potential of the robotic wings. B. Challenges facing the research team. C. The working principle of the robots. D. Uncertainties in developing robotic wings. 34. What does the last paragraph imply about the robotic wings? A. They should still depend on outside magnetic fields. B. Their use is strictly limited to environmental monitoring. C. They are expected to operate in controlled magnetic fields. D. Their new versions will function as well as human muscles. 35. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The Monarch Butterfly’s 3,000-Mile Journey B. Robotics Taking Wings Thanks to Butterflies C. Butterflies Rely on Magnetic Fields for Flight D. Butterfly Wings Hold Clues to Natural Adaptation 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了受蝴蝶翅膀启发，德国研究人员开发出仅靠磁场就能工作的新型机器人翅膀，阐述了其工作原理、应用潜力以及未来发展方向。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Inspired by butterfly wings, a team of German researchers have developed a new kind of robotic wings that can work using only magnetic fields (磁场).

They create carbon dioxide and shade(荫凉). ____36____ Trees are also a valuable resource. The wood they provide is used for buildings and other products we humans use and need. Trees are so important that some people have made it their goal to protect them. We can call these people “tree hugger”. It describes people who support the protection of forests. Today, the term “tree hugger” describes a person who is an environmentalist. ____37____ For example, someone who wants to save a rare butterfly species or cut greenhouse gases could also be described as a tree hugger. However, calling someone a “tree hugger” is not always seen as a praise. ____38____ “Tree hugger” described someone who was overly concerned about protecting trees, animals and other parts of the natural world. Some tree huggers do go to extremes to protect trees. Take, for example, an American woman named Julia Lorraine Hill. For 738 days from December 10,1997 and December 18,1999, Hill lived in Luna, a Redwood tree in northern California’s Humboldt County. Luna is huge, measuring nearly 61 meters tall and about 12 meters across, which has stood in Humboldt County for more than 1,000 years. ____39____ So, Hill did what any extreme tree hugger would—she moved in! As the website explains, Hill’s main goal was “to bring international attention to the importance of protecting and restoring natural resources”. So, we can safely call Hill a tree hugger. ____40____ A. Human beings should all protect trees. B. They provide shelter to animals and insects. C. In earlier times, in fact, it was used as an insult(辱骂). D. And I’m sure that she would consider that the highest of praises. E. They want to protect nature and the environment—but not just the trees. F. Nowadays, the environmental problems are more serious than in the history. G. But that did not stop the Pacific Lumber Company from wanting to cut it down. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. G 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了支持保护森林的人——树木拥抱者，即我们今天的环保主义者。 【36题详解】 根据空前“Trees give so much to the world. They create carbon dioxide and shade(荫凉).(树木为这个世界贡献了太多的东西。它们能产生二氧化碳并提供荫凉。)”以及空后“Trees are also a valuable resource. The wood they provide is used for buildings and other products we humans use and need. (树木也是一种宝贵的资源。它们提供的木材用于建筑和其他我们人类使用和需要的产品。)”可知本段主要讲的是树木的好处，所以空处应该也是讲述树木对于世界的好处。B项They provide shelter to animals and insects. (它们为动物和昆虫提供庇护所。)符合上下文语境。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据空前“Trees are so important that some people have made it their goal to protect them. We can call these people “tree hugger”. It describes people who support the protection of forests. Today, the term “tree hugger” describes a person who is an environmentalist. (树木是如此重要，以至于一些人把保护树木作为他们的目标。我们可以称这些人为“树木拥抱者”。它描述的是支持保护森林的人。今天，“tree hugger”这个词用来形容环保主义者。)”可知本段主要介绍树木拥抱者，依据空后上文举例“For example, someone who wants to save a rare butterfly species or cut greenhouse gases could also be described as a tree hugger. (例如，想要拯救稀有蝴蝶物种或减少温室气体排放的人也可以被称为tree hugger。)”可知空后举例说明tree hugger保护的不仅仅是树木，还有其他动植物和环境。空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是这些环保主义者的保护对象不仅仅是树木，还有自然与环境。E项They want to protect nature and the environment - but not just the trees. (他们想要保护自然和环境，但不仅仅是树木。)承接上文，引出下文，而且E项中的They指代的就是上文所提到的tree hungger。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据空前“However, calling someone a “tree hugger” is not always seen as a praise.(然而，称某人为“树木拥抱者”并不总是被视为一种赞美。)”可知树木拥抱者最初并不是一个褒义词，根据空后““Tree hugger” described someone who was overly concerned about protecting trees, animals and other parts of the natural world.(“抱树者”指的是过分关心保护树木、动物和自然界其他部分的人。)”可知树木拥抱者指的是那些过分保护环境的人，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是人们最初对于树木拥抱者的错误认识。C项“In earlier times, in fact, it was used as an insult(辱骂).(事实上，在早期，它被用作一种侮辱。)”承接上文，引出下文，而且C项中的it指代的是上文的Tree hugger这一称呼，符合上下文语境。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据空前“Some tree huggers do go to extremes to protect trees. Take, for example, an American woman named Julia Lorraine Hill. For 738 days from December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999, Hill lived in Luna, a Redwood tree in northern California’s Humboldt County. Luna is huge, measuring nearly 61 meters tall and about 12 meters across, which has stood in Humboldt County for more than 1,000 years. (一些树木保护主义者为了保护树木确实走极端了。以一位名叫Julia Lorraine Hill的美国妇女为例。从1997年12月10日到1999年12月18日，希尔在加州北部洪堡县的一棵名为Luna的红杉树上生活了738天。Luna非常巨大，高近61米，直径约12米，已经在洪堡县矗立了1000多年。)”可知此处举例讲一些环保主义者的极端做法，根据空后“So, Hill did what any extreme tree hugger would—she moved in!(因此，希尔做了任何一个极端的树木保护主义者都会做的事——她搬进来了!)”可知此处讲的是希尔的极端做法，空处承上启下，空处应该讲的是导致希尔做出这一极端举动的原因，G项But that did not stop the Pacific Lumber Company from wanting to cut it down.(但这并没有阻止太平洋木材公司想要砍伐它。)承接上文，引出下文，而且G项中that指代上文的For 738 days from December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999, Hill lived in Luna这个事实，符合上下文语境。故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“As the website explains, Hill’s main goal was “to bring international attention to the importance of protecting and restoring natural resources.” So, we can safely call Hill a tree hugger.(正如网站解释的那样，希尔的主要目标是“让国际社会注意到保护和恢复自然资源的重要性。”所以，我们可以称希尔为环保主义者。)”可知此处讲的是社会对于希尔极端保护行为的看法，空处位于段末，应是对前文的总结，D项And I’m sure that she would consider that the highest of praises.(我相信她会认为这是最高的赞扬。)总结全段内容，符合上下文语境。故选D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。 Two Kiwis, one Singaporean, and one Indian walked into a bar.

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 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区）、老校（文化街校区） 2025-2026学年高一下期04月测试（一） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Keep in mind that different kids require different books depending on their own reading level. DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG This is a book with a simple storyline. After Daniel finds an egg, he is very curious. What could be inside it? It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s probably not the second one! Whatever it is, kids can learn a good amount of vocabulary from this book, especially as it mentions some animals in both languages. I LOVE SATURDAYS Y DOMINGOS This book follows the narrator (叙述者) on her visits to her grandparents.With her grandparents, she speaks English; but with her mother, she speaks Spanish. She is a Mexican American. There we can see the differences both in the languages and in the ways her grandparents and mother celebrate her birthday. This is families and the thing they all share: their love for their loved ones. UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS This short book has six stories that show different plots (情节) like strange neighbors and mystical science projects. It turns ordinary situations into unusual adventures that any child will love to read. All stories celebrate strong relationships with people, whether they are friends, family, or teachers.The stories have some pictures which help kids form a mental picture of the story. MAXIMILIAN & THE MYSTERY OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL This book follows an 11-year-old wrestling (摔跤) lover who one day discovers his connection to a famous wrestler called the Guardian Angel. It does have pictures, but they don’t contribute much to the story. The book is full of action, and it tells a story children can enjoy from beginning to end. 21. What can we say about DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG? A. It follows the changes of an egg. B. It lets kids’ imagination run wild. C. It focuses on kids’ colorful school life. D. It teaches kids to be friendly to animals. 22. What do the narrator’s visits to her grandparents show? A. Her poor relationships with her family. B. The difficulty in communication. C. Her family’s long history. D. Some cultural differences. 23. What do the last two books have in common? A. They both include adventurous plots. B. They both use pictures to attract kids. C. They both help improve kids’ science knowledge. D. They both have interesting and talented leading roles. B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. C People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though their lifespans can reach 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improve the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” said the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s.Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not use. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in rats, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.” 28. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing. 29. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage. 30. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body sizes. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The huger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have. 31. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. C. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes have been used to cure cancer patients. D Inspired by butterfly wings, a team of German researchers have developed a new kind of robotic wings that can work using only magnetic fields (磁场). The new wings created by the Technical University of Darmstadt researchers need no batteries or electronics. The researchers drew inspiration from the remarkable efficiency and endurance (持久力) of monarch butterflies, known to have incredibly long migrations between Canada and Mexico. Every autumn, millions of Monarch butterflies start a 3,000-mile journey from their North American breeding grounds to the warmer climate of southwestern Mexico for the winter. These new robotic wings achieve energy-efficient flight by combining movement with passive bending, which was rarely copied outside the natural world. The team, led by Professor Oliver Gutfleisch and Dr. Denys Makarov, used a combination of flexible plastic fixed with tiny magnetic particles (颗粒) to build the wings. The team found that the magnetic particles, when exposed to external magnetic fields, caused the wings to bend in a manner similar to that of butterflies. Achieving the desired design proved challenging; however, after testing fewer than 12 different designs, the team could develop wings strikingly similar to those that evolved in butterflies. Looking ahead, these new wings could have a wide range of applications. One could be environmental research in which winged robots monitor pollinator populations or measure air quality. They could also be helpful in disasters, with their small, energy-efficient design enabling robots to navigate dangerous areas for search and rescue operations. The team also pointed out that the new design could also be readily adapted for medical sciences. The principle of using magnetic particles in this way could also open doors for developing new kinds of artificial muscles or other innovative materials that can change shape on demand. While the robotic wings currently rely on external magnetic fields to change shape, the team is optimistic about integrating man-made magnetic field generators into future upgrades of the technology. “We plan to explore what changes to magnetic fields can enable more complex movements and control,” explained Muhammad Bilal Khan, another lead author. 32. What’s the driving power of the robotic wings? A. The air pressure. B. The magnetic field. C. The rechargeable battery. D. The electronic motor. 33. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The potential of the robotic wings. B. Challenges facing the research team. C. The working principle of the robots. D. Uncertainties in developing robotic wings. 34. What does the last paragraph imply about the robotic wings? A. They should still depend on outside magnetic fields. B. Their use is strictly limited to environmental monitoring. C. They are expected to operate in controlled magnetic fields. D. Their new versions will function as well as human muscles. 35. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The Monarch Butterfly’s 3,000-Mile Journey B. Robotics Taking Wings Thanks to Butterflies C. Butterflies Rely on Magnetic Fields for Flight D. Butterfly Wings Hold Clues to Natural Adaptation 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。 Trees give so much to the world. They create carbon dioxide and shade(荫凉). ____36____ Trees are also a valuable resource. The wood they provide is used for buildings and other products we humans use and need. Trees are so important that some people have made it their goal to protect them. We can call these people “tree hugger”. It describes people who support the protection of forests. Today, the term “tree hugger” describes a person who is an environmentalist. ____37____ For example, someone who wants to save a rare butterfly species or cut greenhouse gases could also be described as a tree hugger. However, calling someone a “tree hugger” is not always seen as a praise. ____38____ “Tree hugger” described someone who was overly concerned about protecting trees, animals and other parts of the natural world. Some tree huggers do go to extremes to protect trees. Take, for example, an American woman named Julia Lorraine Hill. For 738 days from December 10,1997 and December 18,1999, Hill lived in Luna, a Redwood tree in northern California’s Humboldt County. Luna is huge, measuring nearly 61 meters tall and about 12 meters across, which has stood in Humboldt County for more than 1,000 years. ____39____ So, Hill did what any extreme tree hugger would—she moved in! As the website explains, Hill’s main goal was “to bring international attention to the importance of protecting and restoring natural resources”. So, we can safely call Hill a tree hugger. ____40____ A. Human beings should all protect trees. B. They provide shelter to animals and insects. C. In earlier times, in fact, it was used as an insult(辱骂). D. And I’m sure that she would consider that the highest of praises. E. They want to protect nature and the environment—but not just the trees. F. Nowadays, the environmental problems are more serious than in the history. G. But that did not stop the Pacific Lumber Company from wanting to cut it down. 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。 Two Kiwis, one Singaporean, and one Indian walked into a bar.

In this environment, dragon boating served as a breakthrough, for it is a sport that brings people back to their ____47____. In a boat, no one cares about your background; you simply move as one. This spirit soon ____48____ our lives off the water, and our weekly gatherings after practice naturally became our ____49____. We bonded over shared ____50____ — the impossible rental market and the “polite” social scene where plans for hiking always ____51____. Yet, when we were together, these ____52____ mattered less. We weren’t just surviving the city’s coldness; we were ____53____ a micro-community of our own. One summer night, after a major festival, we danced by the waterfront. In that golden moment, we realized we had ____54____ what we came for. We were four strangers from different continents, but dragon boating gave us a place to ____55____, a reason to stay and a rhythm to move forward by — together. 41.

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.
