A new project has been set up to document centuries-old traditions in Scotland, including diverse crafts, folklore, arts, and events. The project invites people to suggest traditions to include so that efforts can be made to preserve the practices. Here are some traditions that may be considered. Stonehaven’s fiery New Year tradition Every Hogmanay, the high street of Stonehaven (斯通黑文) fills with hundreds of locals and tourists. They go there to watch a procession of people swinging fireballs — a tradition started by fishers in the 19th century. The ritual (仪式) is said to burn away the bad spirits of the past year, welcome a fresh new year, and bring good luck to all. Ross Milne, who takes part in the ceremony each year, said it was “unique”. “It’s hard to explain exactly why, except for a kind of passion behind it,” he said. “It speaks to the heart of the Scottish people. It’s a tradition we are very proud of, and it deserves to continue.” The Ecclefechan tart The Ecclefechan tart (埃克尔费亨挞) is a sweet treat named after the village in Dumfries and Galloway. The delicacy was first invented in the19th century by the local baker when sugar, dried fruit, and spices (香料) became more affordable. The tart has since become a regional specialty, associated with special occasions like weddings or Christmas. “It’s the kind of dish that almost every family would have its own recipe for. In Scotland, we are known for having a very sweet tooth, and it’s a flavor we truly enjoy,” Sarah Rankin, a Scottish chef, said. “Regional dishes like this play an important role in cementing (巩固) culture within very small geographical areas.” Shinty Hugely popular in the Highlands, shinty (苏格兰传统曲棍球) is played on a grass pitch with sticks and a small hard ball. Two teams of 12 players aim to score goals into their opponent’s net. Aaron Duncan-McLeod, a volunteer coach, said,“People don’t get paid to play shinty. It’s purely for the love of the game, for the love of your community and the heritage of your country.” He said this ancient tradition was a “vital keystone” of Scottish culture. “It has endured through really challenging circumstances,” he added. “So that’s why people want to make sure that it continues and doesn’t die.” Shaetlan Shaetlan (设得兰语) used to be considered a dialect of Scots, but in October 2025, it was officially recognized as a distinct language in its own right. Songwriter Claire White grew up speaking Shaetlan at home. Now she is raising her children with the language in the hope that they will pass it on to the next generation. “You know how it’s enriched your own life and how it enables you to express things that aren’t easily expressed in other words,” said White. “I hope that both future generations and people today will have this way of expressing themselves, so that everyone can be their authentic (真正的) selves.” 1. What can we learn about Stonehaven’s Hogmanay fireball tradition? A. It was designed to compete with other towns’ festivals. B. It began as a celebration organized for tourists. C. It was created to honor the 19th-century fishermen in Stonehaven. D. It is thought to scare away bad spirits and bring good luck. 2. A local school wants to host a workshop where students can practice a tradition and make something they can take home. Which tradition is most suitable? A. Shinty. B. The Ecclefechan tart. C. Shaetlan. D. Stonehaven’s fireball ceremony. 3. Why does the author quote (引用) people like Ross Milne, Sarah Rankin, Aaron Duncan-McLeod, and Claire White? A. To compare different opinions on whether the traditions should continue. B. To make the description more vivid and engaging for readers. C. To show the emotional and cultural value of the traditions. D. To prove that these traditions are still widely practiced today. B A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things,that doesn't matter in the slightest. In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition. Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥)zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides(分歧), allow us to face realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said, “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious”. 4. What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1? A. Tiny but represent official records. B. Rare but tie to everyday life. C. Ordinary but hold special meaning. D. Historic but hide personal connections. 5. Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To state a concept. B. To present a fact. C. To explore a rule. D. To justify an opinion. 6. What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project? A. Historical facts should be known. B. History is made up of fun stories. C. Painful things should be left behind. D. History is full of injustice. 7. What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do? A. Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. B. Engage their family with better stories. C. Seek stories with a curious mind. D. Study professional storytelling techniques. C My first journey to Norway began with an accident that almost killed me on the deck of a deep-sea fishing boat. One afternoon, having finished my task, I climbed the ladder to the deck (甲板). I had scarcely lifted my head when the sky disappeared. In its place came a heavy iron cage, swinging with blind force and hitting me right in the face. I remember no pain at first — only darkness. When I recovered my senses, I was on my hands and knees. My cheek hurt,and my teeth lay broken in my mouth. An older fisherman, Arneson, found me and carried me to my room. During the slow days that followed, he accompanied me and spoke of his boyhood in Andalsnes, among Norway’s fjords (峡湾) and mountains of such beauty that he dared not return. He feared that the real place might destroy the perfect image in his heart. I listened attentively because I had begun to ask myself: was I, like Arneson, just living on an image of who I had been before the accident. His stories, repeated in those long days of recovery, fixed Norway in my imagination as a place where I could find the answer. Thus, when I was well enough to travel, I started my journey, moved less by courage than by a quiet hope for relief. From Norway’s capital I journeyed to Andalsnes, the town he had described with such gentleness. The following day I climbed Aksla. The path was steep, and the pain in my legs was sharp but honest. Each step seemed like a question: “who are you now?” At the top, sitting among stones and thin grass, I looked at the silent peaks and understood that the sea had not sent me here by chance. I had crossed water and land only to discover that the journey was inward. I had come to Norway hoping the mountains would heal me. Instead, I learned that a single blow does not merely wound the body; it breaks open the self and sets it wandering. Yet in that wandering I found something steady. My memories, my fears, and the voices of those who had walked beside me formed a quiet fellowship. In their company, I did not find a cure, but I began, at last, to find myself. 8. What accident occurred to the author on the fishing boat? A. Facing a heavy storm. B. Falling from the boat. C. Suffering night blindness. D. Being hit by an iron cage. 9. Why does the author mention Arneson in Paragraph 3? A. To describe the author’s daily life on the boat. B. To explain why Norway is an attractive country. C. To introduce what inspired the author's journey. D. To show how the author recovered from the accident. 10. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4? A. He was weaker than before. B. He regretted going to Norway. C. He reflected on his true self. D. He lost his way on the mountain. 11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. A Fatal Accident B. A Friend of Pure Heart C. A Memory of the Sea D. A Journey of Self-Discovery D We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid(小行星)belt, where huge rocks fall and spin(旋转)so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments(碎片)out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra(光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 12. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It ignores the special visual effects. B. It goes against the established facts. C. It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Incredible. B. Uncommon. C. Unavoidable. D. Invisible. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The formation of asteroid families. B. The definition of orbital elements. C. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D. The naming rule of asteroid groups. 15. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its range needs to be expanded. D. Its value can’t be overstated. 第二节（共5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。 Life is made up of little moments and long-term goals are achieved in bite-size steps, so acknowledging these small wins is key to staying on track. ____16____ Here are some ways to acknowledge and celebrate your wins, no matter the size.

After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省常州高级中学 2025~2026学年第二学期高二年级期中调研考试 英语试卷 命题人：高一英语备课组 2026.4 说明：1．以下题目的答案请全部填写在答题卡上。 2．本卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.What will the woman do tomorrow?

Now she is raising her children with the language in the hope that they will pass it on to the next generation. “You know how it’s enriched your own life and how it enables you to express things that aren’t easily expressed in other words,” said White. “I hope that both future generations and people today will have this way of expressing themselves, so that everyone can be their authentic (真正的) selves.” 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了苏格兰为保护传统而发起的一项新项目，并列举了四项值得被保留的苏格兰传统，包括斯通黑文火球跨年仪式、埃克尔费亨挞、苏格兰传统曲棍球和设得兰语，阐述了它们的文化价值与意义。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stonehaven’s fiery New Year tradition部分“The ritual (仪式) is said to burn away the bad spirits of the past year, welcome a fresh new year, and bring good luck to all.(据说这个仪式能烧掉过去一年的邪灵，迎接崭新的一年，并为所有人带来好运。)”可知，斯通黑文的火球跨年传统被认为可以驱走邪灵并带来好运。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Ecclefechan tart部分“The delicacy was first invented in the 19th century by the local baker when sugar, dried fruit, and spices (香料) became more affordable. The tart has since become a regional specialty, associated with special occasions like weddings or Christmas.(这种美食最初于19世纪由当地面包师发明，当时糖、干果和香料变得更加便宜。此后，这种挞成为了一道地方特色美食，与婚礼、圣诞节等特殊场合紧密相关。)”和“It’s the kind of dish that almost every family would have its own recipe for.(这是一种几乎每个家庭都有自己食谱的菜肴。)”可知，埃克尔费亨挞是一种可以制作并带走的美食，适合在校园工作坊中让学生动手制作并带走成品。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Stonehaven’s fiery New Year tradition部分“Ross Milne, who takes part in the ceremony each year, said it was “unique”. “It’s hard to explain exactly why, except for a kind of passion behind it,” he said. “It speaks to the heart of the Scottish people. It’s a tradition we are very proud of, and it deserves to continue.”(每年都参加该仪式的Ross Milne表示，这一传统“独一无二”。他说：“确切的原因很难解释，除了背后蕴含的一种热情之外。”“它触动了苏格兰人民的内心。这是我们引以为傲的传统，它值得延续下去。”)”、The Ecclefechan tart部分“Sarah Rankin, a Scottish chef, said. “Regional dishes like this play an important role in cementing (巩固) culture within very small geographical areas.”(苏格兰厨师Sarah Rankin说：“像这样的地方菜肴在巩固小范围地区的文化方面发挥着重要作用。”)”、Shinty部分“He said this ancient tradition was a “vital keystone” of Scottish culture.(他说，这一古老传统是苏格兰文化的“重要基石”。)”以及Shaetlan部分““You know how it’s enriched your own life and how it enables you to express things that aren’t easily expressed in other words,” said White.(White说：“你知道它如何丰富了你的生活，也知道它如何让你表达出那些难以用其他语言表述的事物。”)”可知，作者引用这些人的话，是为了展示这些传统所承载的情感价值与文化意义。 B A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things,that doesn't matter in the slightest. In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition. Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥)zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides(分歧), allow us to face realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said, “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious”. 4. What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1? A. Tiny but represent official records. B. Rare but tie to everyday life. C. Ordinary but hold special meaning. D. Historic but hide personal connections. 5. Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To state a concept. B. To present a fact. C. To explore a rule. D. To justify an opinion. 6. What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project? A. Historical facts should be known. B. History is made up of fun stories. C. Painful things should be left behind. D. History is full of injustice. 7. What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do? A. Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. B. Engage their family with better stories. C. Seek stories with a curious mind. D. Study professional storytelling techniques. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）的五集电视系列节目《非凡之物》，讲述节目通过物品背后的故事展现国家历史及传递的意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past.(在这个由澳大利亚广播公司制作的五集电视系列节目以及在澳大利亚国家博物馆举办的配套展览中，重要的并非物品本身，而是其背后的故事和人物，它们构建起关于这个国家及其过去的故事)”可知，第一段中列举的物品虽普通，但有着特殊意义。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary.(事实证明，平凡之物也可以是非凡的)可知，海港大桥建筑工人乔治·基伦的曾孙女所保存的纪念别针背后，是一名工人无私跳入冰冷海港救朋友这一被遗忘的故事，通过这个例子来证明“平凡之物也可以是非凡的”这一观点，所以提及纪念别针是为了证明一种观点。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past.(该项目并未回避本国历史中阴暗沉重的一面)以及第五段“It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides (分歧), allow us to face realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs.(这是一个例子，说明讲故事如何能够弥合分歧，让我们面对现实，并使我们能够做出选择，在某种程度上纠正错误)”可知，阿姆斯特朗想在他的项目中传达历史事实应该被知晓。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said, “I hope it gets people tellingstories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious”.(当我问阿姆斯特朗他希望这个项目能达成什么目标时，他说：“我希望它能让人们讲故事。”无论你是让你的奶奶还是朋友分享他们非凡的事物，他的建议都是“渴望发现，保持好奇”)”可知，阿姆斯特朗鼓励观众以好奇的心态去寻找故事。 C My first journey to Norway began with an accident that almost killed me on the deck of a deep-sea fishing boat. One afternoon, having finished my task, I climbed the ladder to the deck (甲板). I had scarcely lifted my head when the sky disappeared. In its place came a heavy iron cage, swinging with blind force and hitting me right in the face. I remember no pain at first — only darkness. When I recovered my senses, I was on my hands and knees. My cheek hurt,and my teeth lay broken in my mouth. An older fisherman, Arneson, found me and carried me to my room. During the slow days that followed, he accompanied me and spoke of his boyhood in Andalsnes, among Norway’s fjords (峡湾) and mountains of such beauty that he dared not return. He feared that the real place might destroy the perfect image in his heart. I listened attentively because I had begun to ask myself: was I, like Arneson, just living on an image of who I had been before the accident. His stories, repeated in those long days of recovery, fixed Norway in my imagination as a place where I could find the answer. Thus, when I was well enough to travel, I started my journey, moved less by courage than by a quiet hope for relief. From Norway’s capital I journeyed to Andalsnes, the town he had described with such gentleness. The following day I climbed Aksla. The path was steep, and the pain in my legs was sharp but honest. Each step seemed like a question: “who are you now?” At the top, sitting among stones and thin grass, I looked at the silent peaks and understood that the sea had not sent me here by chance. I had crossed water and land only to discover that the journey was inward. I had come to Norway hoping the mountains would heal me. Instead, I learned that a single blow does not merely wound the body; it breaks open the self and sets it wandering. Yet in that wandering I found something steady. My memories, my fears, and the voices of those who had walked beside me formed a quiet fellowship. In their company, I did not find a cure, but I began, at last, to find myself. 8. What accident occurred to the author on the fishing boat? A. Facing a heavy storm. B. Falling from the boat. C. Suffering night blindness. D. Being hit by an iron cage. 9. Why does the author mention Arneson in Paragraph 3? A. To describe the author’s daily life on the boat. B. To explain why Norway is an attractive country. C. To introduce what inspired the author's journey. D. To show how the author recovered from the accident. 10. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4? A. He was weaker than before. B. He regretted going to Norway. C. He reflected on his true self. D. He lost his way on the mountain. 11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. A Fatal Accident B. A Friend of Pure Heart C. A Memory of the Sea D. A Journey of Self-Discovery 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者在一次深海渔船事故中受伤后，受渔民Arneson的故事启发前往挪威昂达尔内斯旅行，最终在旅途中完成自我反思与发现的经历。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had scarcely lifted my head when the sky disappeared. In its place came a heavy iron cage, swinging with blind force and hitting me right in the face.(我刚抬起头，天空就消失了。取而代之的是一个沉重的铁笼，毫无方向地甩动着，正好砸在我的脸上。)”可知，作者在渔船上被铁笼砸中。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“During the slow days that followed, he accompanied me and spoke of his boyhood in Andalsnes, among Norway’s fjords (峡湾) and mountains of such beauty that he dared not return.(在接下来那段漫长而难熬的恢复期里，他一直陪着我，跟我讲他在昂达尔内斯的童年往事——那地方坐落在挪威的峡湾与群山之间，风景美得让他后来都不敢回去，生怕现实会破坏心中那完美的印象。)”以及第四段“His stories, repeated in those long days of recovery, fixed Norway in my imagination as a place where I could find the answer. Thus, when I was well enough to travel, I started my journey, moved less by courage than by a quiet hope for relief.(在漫长的恢复期里，他反复讲述的故事让挪威在我的想象中成为一个我能找到答案的地方。因此，当我身体恢复到可以出行时，我踏上了这段旅程。支撑我的与其说是勇气，不如说是一种寻求内心解脱的、安静的希望。)”可知，作者提到Arneson是为了引出他前往挪威的契机。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Each step seemed like a question: “who are you now?” At the top, sitting among stones and thin grass, I looked at the silent peaks and understood that the sea had not sent me here by chance. I had crossed water and land only to discover that the journey was inward.(每一步都像一个问题：“你现在是谁？”在山顶，坐在石头和稀疏的草丛中，我望着寂静的山峰，明白大海不是偶然把我送到这里的。我跨越了海洋和陆地，却发现这场旅程是向内的。)”可推知，作者在旅途中不断反思真实的自我。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In their company, I did not find a cure, but I began, at last, to find myself.(在它们的陪伴下，我没有找到治愈的方法，但我终于开始找到自己了。)”可知，全文核心是一场关于自我发现的旅程；D选项“A Journey of Self-Discovery(自我发现之旅)”最能概括文章大意。 D We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid(小行星)belt, where huge rocks fall and spin(旋转)so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments(碎片)out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra(光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 12. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It ignores the special visual effects. B. It goes against the established facts. C. It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Incredible. B. Uncommon. C. Unavoidable. D. Invisible. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The formation of asteroid families. B. The definition of orbital elements. C. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D. The naming rule of asteroid groups. 15. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its range needs to be expanded. D. Its value can’t be overstated. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要纠正了科幻电影中小行星带的错误场景，介绍了小行星碰撞产生碎片并形成小行星族的相关知识，以及研究小行星族对防御潜在威胁地球的小行星、保护地球的重要意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin(旋转)so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another.(我们都曾在科幻电影中看到这样的场景：超级英雄跳进一艘摇晃的宇宙飞船，通过小行星带逃离坏人，在那里巨大的岩石坠落并旋转得如此之近，以至于船员们不得不低头躲避以免被撞得粉碎。这很刺激，但这是错误的：在我们的太阳系中，你很有可能站在一颗小行星的表面，甚至看不到另一颗)”可知，作者认为科幻电影中的场景与现实情况不符，可推理出作者认为科幻电影中的场景违背了既定事实。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments(碎片)out into space.(当两颗太空岩石在主带中发生“碰撞”时，巨大的撞击会将大量小行星碎片吹入太空)”可知，划线词所在句子是指即使在火星和木星轨道之间的主小行星带，碰撞也是不可避免的，因此ineluctable意为“不可避免的”，与unavoidable同义。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as "families", which are named after the largest asteroid in the group.(在许多情况下，这些碎片与母小行星保持在大致相同的轨道上，尽管由于速度略有不同，它们会逐渐与母小行星分离。数千年后，一些碎片可能会运行到太阳对面，但它们与太阳的距离以及轨道的形状和方向仍然相似。这些保存下来的特征统称为小行星的轨道要素。共享轨道要素的组合被确定为“家族”，以该组合中最大的小行星命名)”可知，本段讲述了小行星家族是如何形成的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids.(找出小行星家谱的这一特定分支不仅仅是一项学术练习：有些小行星具有潜在风险，这意味着它们可能在遥远的未来与地球相撞。如果我们知道它们是如何从主带进入内太阳系并首先构成威胁的，我们就可以保护我们的星球免受未来令人担忧的小行星的侵害)”可知，可推理出研究小行星家族的价值非常重要。 第二节（共5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。 Life is made up of little moments and long-term goals are achieved in bite-size steps, so acknowledging these small wins is key to staying on track. ____16____ Here are some ways to acknowledge and celebrate your wins, no matter the size.

After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. They came from all walks of life—students, retirees and even some stay-at-home parents, each eager to lend a hand. They selflessly devoted their time, skills, and knowledge to tackling piles of the donated bikes. Together, they sorted the bikes by size and condition before the repairs. Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side. With volunteers’ support, Harry was determined to expand the project to more people. And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike. To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. Along with the volunteers, Harry carefully took into account individual preferences, such as bike styles, colors, and sizes, as well as ages, addresses and occupations. With the valuable information, every bike was perfectly tailored to meet the recipients’ needs. Once the bikes were fully repaired, they delivered each bike in person to the recipient’s home, ensuring it was an ideal fit. The recipients were overjoyed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. This personalized approach not only warmed their hearts but also strengthened community bonds, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and connecting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了退休老人Harry Caine退休后利用自己的技能免费为社区修理被遗弃的自行车，并将修好的自行车捐赠给有需要的人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“得知Harry的情况后，一群志愿者来帮助他。”可知，第一段可描写志愿者们的构成、他们是如何帮助Harry的，包括对自行车进行分类等工作，以及 Harry 在志愿者帮助下的想法和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“为了让每辆自行车都能匹配到新主人，Harry收集了他们的具体需求。”可知，第二段可描写Harry和志愿者们如何收集并考虑接收者的各种需求，根据需求修理和分配自行车，以及接收者收到自行车后的反应和这个个性化做法带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：Harry工作量大面临困难——志愿者来帮忙——志愿者和Harry分工合作——Harry决心扩大项目 ——收集接收者需求——按需求分配自行车——收获感激和加强社区联系 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮忙：lend a hand/offer help/assist ②处理：tackle/deal with/handle ③考虑：take sth. into account/consider sth./take sth. into consideration 情绪类 ①欢乐的：overjoyed/delighted/elated ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
