A 细节理解题 【定位句】 Khari is stuck at college when a snowstorm hits and his car breaks down. Will he make it home in time for Kwanzaa? (第三段最后两句) 译文 暴风雪来袭时，Khari被困在了大学里，他的汽车也抛锚了。他能及时赶回家过宽扎节吗? 【解析】根据定位句可知，极端天气使 Khari及时赶回家过宽扎节很困难。故选 A。 22. C 细节理解题【解析】根据第四段标题A Child’ s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, illustrated by Trin a SchartHyman可知,A Child’ s Christmas in Wales 的插图由 Trin a SchartHyman提供。故选 C。 23. D 细节理解题 【定位句】Below are a few books that help introduce children to different holiday cultures and traditions.(第一段第二句) 译文 下面是一些有助于向孩子们介绍不同节日文化和传统的书籍。 【解析】根据全文尤其是定位句可知，这四本书给读者介绍了一些不同的节日庆祝活动和风俗习惯。故选 D。 B语篇类型：记叙文 主题：人与社会 主题群：社会服务与人际沟通话题: Tom Costello Jr.给无家可归者捐赠袜子 【文章大意】文章主要讲述了 Tom Costello Jr.成立 The Joy of Sox为无家可归者捐赠袜子的经历。 24. D 细节理解题 【定位句】“She started to cry and told me that nobody had ever given her socks before,” Costello said. “Then she reached out and gave me a hug.”(第二段最后两句) 译文 Costello说：“她开始哭，告诉我以前从来没有人送过她袜子。然后她伸出双臂给了我一个拥抱。” 【解析】根据定位句可知，当Costello送给那位女士袜子时，她感动得哭了并拥抱了 Costello。由此可知,她很感激 Costello送给她袜子。故选 D。 25. A 细节理解题 【定位句】 That experience at the shelter helped Costello end his fear of the homeless.(第三段第一句) 译文 在收容所的经历帮助 Costello结束了他对无家可归者的恐惧。 【解析】根据第一、二段内容及定位句可知，Costello在收容所亲自帮忙的经历帮助他克服了对无家可归者的恐惧。故选A。 26. C 推理判断题 【定位句】 Costello explains that some Americans give food, coats and other clothing to shelters, but donating socks is not something most people think about.(第四段第二句) 译文 Costello解释说，有些美国人会向收容所捐赠食物、外套和其他衣物，但大多数人不会想到捐赠袜子。 【解析】根据定位句可知，很多人想不到给无家可归者捐赠袜子;结合第四段最后一句“Kiwi says most of the time he can find enough food through shelters and soup kitchens, but socks are much more difficult to get.”可知,对无家可归者来说,得到袜子是非常困难的事情。由此可推知，对于无家可归者而言，袜子是非常珍贵的物品。故选 C。 27. A 细节理解题 【定位句】 Costello says his hope for“The Joy of Sox” is to be the best sock charity in the world.(最后一段第一句) 译文 Costello说,他对于“The Joy of Sox”的希望是它成为世界上最好的袜子慈善机构。 【解析】根据定位句可知, Costello希望“The Joy of Sox”成为世界上最好的袜子慈善机构。故选 A。 C语篇类型：说明文 主题：人与社会 主题群：历史、社会与文化 话题：不同文化背景下人们表达感激的方式 【文章大意】本文探讨了不同文化背景下人们表达感激的方式，指出讲英语者常将表达感激之情与(拥有)感激之情本身混为一谈，人类普遍表达感激的方式互助合作。 28. D 词义猜测题【解析】A项意为“比较”;B项意为“替换”;C项意为“弄清楚”；D项意为“混淆”。根据第一段第一句“ Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings.”可知,在世界语言中,英语可能对表达感激的重视程度最高，尤其是在正式和商务场合。结合画线词所在句可知，英语使用者往往把表达感激之情和(拥有)感激之情本身混为一谈，这是合乎逻辑的。所以画线词应意为“混淆”，与D项意思相近。故选D。 29. D 细节理解题 【定位句】 The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual(相互的) assistance and working together are the norm.(第三段第二句) 译文 研究结果表明，表达感激之情的普遍方式不是通过说谢谢，而是通过参与一种社会契约，在这种契约中，相互帮助和共同协作是常态。 【解析】该题问的是：根据这项研究，人们普遍如何表达感激之情?根据定位句可知，人们普遍通过帮助和合作来表达感激之情。故选 D。 30. A 细节理解题 【定位句】In India, for example, people—— especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends—— tend to feel that by thanking them, you' re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn't exist.(第四段第二句) 译文例如，在印度，人们——尤其是当他们是你的长辈、亲戚或亲密朋友时——往往会觉得感谢他们会疏远你与他们之间的亲密关系，并生出本不该存在的正式感和距离感。 【解析】该题问的是：印度人如何看待对亲戚表达感谢的行为?根据定位句可知，印度人认为对亲戚表达感谢会疏远他们彼此间的关系。故选A。 31. B 推理判断题 【定位句】Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6 000 to 7 000 world languages don't have a word for“thank you”.“When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”(最后一段) 译文 这项研究的首席研究员 Nick Enfield 表示，在世界上的6000到7000种语言中，大多数语言都没有“谢谢”这个词。“当我们考虑到向亲近的人表达感谢可能产生的负面影响，再加上许多语言是在使用者可能彼此熟悉的小型社区中使用的这一情况，这种说法就显得很合情合理了。” 【解析】该题问的是：Nick Enfield在最后一段暗示了什么? 根据定位句可推知，Nick Enfield在最后一段暗示了感激之情可能不会通过言语表达出来。故选 B。 D语篇类型：说明文 主题：人与自然 主题群：宇宙探索 话题：嫦娥六号所采集的月球样本揭示月球岩浆海洋的奥秘 【文章大意】一项有关嫦娥六号采集的月球样本的研究证实了月球曾被岩浆海洋覆盖这一情况。 32. B 细节理解题 【定位句】A new study of lunar samples collected by China'sChang'e-6 mission has confirmed that the moon was once covered by“magma(岩浆) ocean” in its early stages. This discovery provides important evidence for understanding the moon's origin and evolution(进化).(第一段) 译文 一项有关中国嫦娥六号任务采集的月球样本的新研究证实，月球在早期阶段曾被“岩浆海洋”覆盖。这一发现为理解月球的起源和进化提供了重要证据。 【解析】该题问的是：这项研究的主要关注点是什么? 根据定位句可知，这项研究的关注点是月球的历史。故选B。 33. C 细节理解题 【定位句】A new study of lunar samples collected by China'sChang'e-6 mission has confirmed that the moon was once covered by“magma(岩浆) ocean” in its early stages.(第一段第一句)译文一项有关中国嫦娥六号任务采集的月球样本的新研究证实，月球在早期阶段曾被“岩浆海洋”覆盖。 【解析】该题问的是：嫦娥六号在 2024年的发现具有什么重要意义? 根据定位句可知，嫦娥六号所采集的月球样本证实了早期月球上存在“岩浆海洋”这一情况。故选 C。 易错分析 按照习惯，学生可能会根据题干中的2024把解题线索定位在第二段第二句“In 2024, Chang'e-6 successfully collected 1 935.3 grams of lunar material from the far side of the moon, marking the first time humans have obtainedsamples from this region.”(2024年,嫦娥6号从月球背面成功地采集了1935.3克月球物质，这是人类首次从该区域获取样本)，从而误选A项。实际上，这句话陈述的是事实，而不是嫦娥六号在2024年的发现的意义。而且 A 项表述不严谨,漏掉了原文中的地点状语 from the far side of the moon。命题人把最具迷惑性的事实放在 A 项,有些考生就忽略了其他选项而掉入陷阱。因此，在做阅读理解题时，学生一方面要斟酌问题的核心意思，另一方面要浏览所有选项，避免失误。 34. A 推理判断题 【定位句】The research team plans to further study the moon's early impact history and hopes to find materials from the moon's layers.(第五段第一句) 译文 该研究团队计划进一步探究月球早期的撞击历史，并期望能找到来自月球各层的物质。 【解析】根据定位句可推知，该团队下一步很有可能要加深对月球历史的理解。故选A。 35. B 标题概括题【解析】通读全文可知，第一段提出话题：一项关于中国嫦娥六号采集的月球样本的新研究证实，月球早期曾被“岩浆海洋”所覆盖。然后，全文详细介绍了这一研究的过程、意义及研究团队的下一步计划。由此可知，B项“月球岩浆海洋：一项新发现”能概括全文大意，是本文的最佳标题。故选B。 第二节 语篇类型：说明文 主题：人与自我 主题群：做人与做事 话题：不花钱挑战 【文章大意】文章介绍了不花钱挑战的概念以及如何实施这一挑战的相关信息。该挑战旨在通过暂停非必要的消费来提高储蓄，帮助人们更好地理财。 36. F 过渡句【解析】上文讲“消费已经融入到我们的日常习惯中，有时甚至会让我们对购物上瘾”。下文讲“这是一种速效节食法，但是是以一种好的方式！”F项“有时最好的方法是冻结支出”承上启下，符合语境。故选 F。 37. B 小标题【解析】本段介绍了不花钱挑战的基本定义，不花钱挑战不是什么都不买、完全不花钱，有些必需品是无法缺少的，不花钱挑战的基本前提是在特定时间内削减非必要开支，这个时间可以是一周、一个月，或者甚至一整年。B项“什么是不花钱挑战?”可以概括本段内容，适合做本段小标题。故选B。 38. A细节句【解析】小标题是“在不花钱挑战期间，你可以花钱购买哪些东西”。上文主要介绍了如果你在“不花钱挑战”期间需要购买某样东西，那它应该是必要的，而且是你绝对不可或缺的物品。不要为购买非必要物品找借口。A项“决定可接受的购买项目”承接上文，符合语境。故选A。 39. G主旨句【解析】小标题是“不花钱挑战的经济效益”。下文讲“你可以将原本会花掉的额外资金用来建立你的应急基金。或者你可能想将这笔钱用于其他财务目标，比如为购买新车或即将到来的假期存钱”。G项“不花钱挑战可以提升你的财务状况”统领本段，符合语境。G项中的 be a boost to your financial situation 与本段小标题相呼应。故选 G。 40. E细节句【解析】本段讲“尽管不花钱挑战旨在短暂进行，但你随时都可以延长挑战的期限”。E项“为什么不把它当作一种生活方式的改变?”承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 语篇类型：记叙文 主题：人与社会 主题群：社会服务与人际沟通 话题：旅途中的小善举 【文章大意】文章主要讲述了作者在旅途中感受到小小善举带来的持久影响的经历。 【考点分布】动词5个，形容词4个，名词4个，副词1个，动词短语1个。 41.

Is there a flower shop nearby? W: Yes. Do you see the bakery over there? Next to it, you’ll see a red umbrella. That’s where the flower shop is. 2. 【原文】W: Are Tom and Anne getting married in June? M: No. They have rescheduled their wedding for late July. After the wedding, they’ll go on their honeymoon. 3. 【原文】W: Which supermarket do you usually go to? M: I always shop at Brown’s. W: A new supermarket has opened in this area. It’s much bigger. M: I know, but it’s always packed with people. 4. 【原文】W: Jack, Mrs. Palmer wants us in her office. M: Right now? For what? W: She wants us to meet the new sales manager. 5. 【原文】M: I’d like to summarize what it is we’re looking for. W: Good. M: Basically, we want the printing cost to come down by 15%. W: Well, it’s really hard for us to offer such a price cut. 6.【原文】W: Happy new year, Mike! M: Happy new year! W: Have you made any resolutions? M: I’d like to eat less and exercise more this year. Three hamburgers a day is probably not a good idea. W: Yeah, many people hope to be healthier in the new year. You always see a lot of people start joining gyms. I heard some kind of statistic that gyms are always 50% more crowded in the month of January. And then usually by February, it’s back to normal. M: It’s so true. It’s always difficult to keep up the workout routine. 7.【原文】M: Fenny, if you’re up in London tomorrow, I’ve got two tickets for the American Ballet Theatre. Would you like to come? W: Thanks, but I’ll be busy tomorrow. M: No problem. Maybe another time. Do you have plans? W: Yes, I’ll meet Katie at the Olympia Exhibition Centre. Remember her? We went to the same art school.

It’s not that I’m addicted to it or have important calls, but I need the alarm to wake me up every morning. W: Yeah, but that’s where the risk is. According to experts, we should switch our phones off and on once a day as a security measure. It helps close the applications running in the background and stop data collection processes we’re not aware of. M: Sounds reasonable. Do we switch the phone off and switch it back on immediately? W: Well, better wait for a few minutes. M: When do you usually do that? W: I do it every night before going to bed. 9.【原文】W: Welcome to History of the English language.

In addition to your participation in class, which accounts for 10%, there will be a midterm test, 20%; a final exam, 30%; and a research paper, 40%. Any questions? M: Do we have any reading assignments? W: Yes. I believe you’ve all got your textbook. You have to finish reading assigned chapters before each class. Apart from that, there’s a list of books that you’re required to read. Now let’s have a close look at it. 10【原文】W: Hello, everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting — New Books Sharing. Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention. But dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 武安一中2025-2026学年第二学期期中考试 高一 英语 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 5 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Below are a few books that help introduce children to different holiday cultures and traditions. Too Many Tamales by Gary Soto, illustrated by Ed Martinez While helping her mother with Christmas celebration, Maria tries on her mother's diamond ring. After getting caught up in the joy of the holiday and playing with her cousins, Maria realizes the ring is missing! That's when she and her cousins come up with a plan to eat all of the tamales, in hopes of finding the ring. Together for Kwanzaa by Juwanda G. Ford, illustrated by Shelly Hehenberger This is a story about a little girl named Kayla who wants to see her older brother Khari come home so they can celebrate Kwanzaa together as a family.

A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman This book is a funny, nostalgic tale of Christmas Eve afternoon through Christmas night in Wales, and is full of unique imagery and poetic prose. It will arouse a sense of familiarity for some young readers while introducing them to different aspects of Christmas traditions. We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga by TraciSorell, illustrated by Frane Lessac The word otsaliheliga is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude.

That changed seven years ago after his wife,a volunteer at a homeless shelter, persuaded(劝说) him to help with a holiday dinner for shelter residents. Tom Costello remembers going to a store and buying socks for the residents. He knew many of them were in need of clothing. At the shelter, he dropped a pair of socks into a bag for a woman.“She started to cry and told me that nobody had ever given her socks before,” Costello said.“Then she reached out and gave me a hug.” That experience at the shelter helped Costello end his fear of the homeless. It also led him to set up a group called “The Joy of Sox”. The Joy of Sox collects socks from donors and gives them mostly to shelters in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area,where Costello and his wife Nacy live. But the group has been expanding its reach, now providing socks for homeless shelters in 21 states and three countries:Mexico, Afghanistan and Uganda. Why socks? Costello explains that some Americans give food, coats and other clothing to shelters, but donating socks is not something most people think about. And, he says, socks are very helpful in keeping people warm in cold weather. A man named Kiwi, who has lived in homeless shelters, explains that socks are important to people who spend a lot of time outdoors. Kiwi says most of the time he can find enough food through shelters and soup kitchens, but socks are much more difficult to get. Costello says his hope for “The Joy of Sox” is to be the best sock charity in the world. He also wants the group to give six pairs of socks to every homeless person in the United States each year. 24. Which word can best describe the woman when Costello gave her socks? A. Disappointed. B. Embarrassed. C. Confused. D. Grateful. 25. Costello stopped being afraid of the homeless after he____________. . A. personally helped at a homeless shelter B. heard a shelter resident's heartbreaking story from his wife C. got help from a homeless person D. became a volunteer at a homeless shelter 26. What do you know from the fourth paragraph? A. The homeless need food more than socks. B. Socks can't help the homeless keep warm. C. Socks are precious things to the homeless. D. The homeless only get sock donations in winter. 27. What is Costello's expectation of “The Joy of Sox”? A. To stand out as the world's best sock charity. B. To become the only sock charity in America. C. To expand its reach to three countries. D. To provide socks for every homeless person in the world. C Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it's logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody didn't say“thanks”, we often think, they must not have been very grateful.And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual. But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Thankfulness suggests that no, we do not. The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha'palaa, Murrinlpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual(相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange. The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally. In India, for example, people— especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends— tend to feel that by thanking them, you' re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn't exist. In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connection. Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don't have a word for“thank you”. “When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.” 28. What does the underlined word“conflate” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Figure out. D. Mix up. 29. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study? A. By saying thanks directly. B. By making social agreements. C. By using body language. D. By helping and cooperating. 30. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives? A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance. C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust. 31. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph? A. Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness. B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words. C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends. D. The negative effects of thanking should be avoided. D A new study of lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission has confirmed that the moon was once covered by “magma(岩浆) ocean” in its early stages. This discovery provides important evidence for understanding the moon's origin and evolution(进化). The study, led by a team from the ChinaNational Space Administration (CNSA), was published in the journal Science. In 2024, Chang’ e-6successfully collected 1 935.3 grams of lunar material from the far side of the moon, marking the first time humans have obtained samples from this region. Researchers analyzed basalt, a type of volcanic rock, from the samples and found that the composition of basalt on the far side is similar to that on the near side. The basalt is about 2. 82 billion years old,supporting the lunar magma ocean model. This model suggests that the moon was once entirely melted,forming a global magma ocean. As it cooled, lighter minerals rose to form the moon's surface, while heavier minerals sank to form the covering layers. The study also revealed that the impact that created the South Pole-Aitken(SPA) Basin, the moon's largest and oldest basin, may have changed the moon's early layers. Additionally, the lead isotope(同位素) paths in basalt from the far and near sides are different, indicating that different parts of the moon gradually changed and developed into different forms after the magma ocean cooled. The research team plans to further study the moon's early impact history and hopes to find materials from the moon's layers. Understanding the moon's past can also help scientists learn more about Earth's early history, which must have been connected with the earth's layer activities. CNSA emphasized its commitment to advancing lunar research and sharing findings with the international community. This study not only deepens our understanding of the moon but also opens new possibilities for exploring the solar system's history. 32. What is the main focus of the study? A. Earth's origin. B. Moon's history. C. Moon's minerals. D. Solar system formation. 33. What is the significance of Chang’ e-6’ s finding in 2024? A. It first witnessed humans collecting lunar samples. B. It initially discovered the origin of the moon clearly. C. It proved the existence of “magma ocean” on the moon. D. It confirmed the impact of the South Pole-Aitken Basin. 34. What is the research team likely to do next? A. To deepen understanding of the moon's past. B. To find materials from the earth's layers. C. To reveal the quick shift of solar system. D. To analyze the history of “magma ocean”. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Chang’ e-6: A Successful Lunar Mission B. Lunar Magma Ocean: A New Discovery C. The Evolution of the Moon: A Comprehensive Study D. Lunar Samples: Unlocking the Secrets of the Solar System 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。 The less you spend,the more you save.

Tongai Matandirotya was working his shift as a bartender at the Brass BellRestaurant. The atmosphere was relaxing,with customers chatting and the gentle sound of waves from the nearby Atlantic Ocean providing a pleasant atmosphere. Several people were walking by the window of Brass Bell and looking out to the water.Tongai was in the middle of pouring a drink for a customer when suddenly, chaos erupted. The scene changed dramatically. A massive wild wave charged towards the shore,washing away everything in its path. People near the water's edge were caught completely off- guard and swept into the sea by the wave. Among them were37- year- old Clair Gardiner and her 8- year- old daughterArya van Hilten. Clair knew they were being pulled into the water as soon as the wave rushed over them,and she managed to wrap her arms around little Arya. Tongai's eyes widened in horror at the sight.Without hesitation, he dropped the drink he was pouring, his mind focused only on saving the lives in danger. He rushed outside, tearing off his belt as he ran. The waves were strong, but Tongai's resolve was stronger. He dived into the water, the coldness of the ocean shocking his body. As he swam towards the struggling pair, the waves threw him about, but he kept going. When he reached them, the violence of the waves, even just a few meters from shore, had pulled Clair and Arya apart.Tongai quickly used his belt to secure Arya and swam back towards the shore with all his strength. Once Arya was safely on the shore, Tongai's muscles burned with tiredness.Every breath was a struggle, but he knew he couldn't leave Clair behind.Without a second thought, he turned and swam back into the waves. The sea seemed to fight him even harder but he was determined. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)开头已给出。 With one final burst of strength, he managed to pull Clair to safety. ______________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon an article titled Heroism by the Sea was posted on the website. _____________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Excuse me, is there a flower shop nearby?
