You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you: Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol. Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) —and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries. Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb). Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions. In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text. Contents The writing process WT3 Reporting on data WT25 Answering the question WT7 Writing a report WT28 Writing a comparison essay WT10 Writing a review WT31 Writing an argumentative essay WT13 Discussing pictures and cartoons WT34 Oral presentations WT20 Writing a formal letter WT37 Writing a summary WT23 Writing emails WT40 21. What can you do to reduce repetition in your writing? A. Correct potential problems in advance. B. Use synonyms or explore word families. C. Ensure accurate and natural word pairings. D. Analyze examples of word usage in context. 22. Which page should you refer to if you need to write an essay comparing two things? A.WT7. B.WT10. C.WT23. D.WT25. 23.Where is this text probably taken from ? A. A creative writing magazine. B. A scientific report. C. A dictionary’s writing guide. D. A promotion handbook. B Getting all the things ready to make my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds—the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of loud beeps(机器鸣叫声) begin—an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My belief is that the alarm, which cannot be stopped, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge—my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my weight. The frightening fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps often, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove(炉灶) sings too—leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification(通知) I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution—and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment(约会) I may forget? The results of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t—and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 24. How does the author sound in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A. Frightened.  B. Bored.   C. Humorous. D. Friendly. 25. Why are the stove and the phone mentioned in the passage? A. To show that elderly people often have a good memory. B. To prove that modern machines are usually poorly designed. C. To explain how technology is changing seniors’ living habits. D. To give examples of how beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life. 26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders.  D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 27. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge.  B. Bear the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it.  D. Replace the alarm with a note. C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy(读写能力) and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the characters.” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works.  B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart.  D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its process.  B. Its background.   C. Its purpose.     D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage understanding.  B. Emotional depth.   C. Word choices.    D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect.  B. Learning by doing works best. C. It’s never too old to learn.  D. Words are the voice of the mind. D How is it December already? Where did 2025 go? And how did we suddenly go from eating Easter eggs to putting up Christmas trees? To understand why our feeling of time seems to change, we need to first learn how our brains sense time. The term “time perception (感知)” is actually a bit misleading, because time itself is not something “outside” that we can directly sense. When we see colors, hear sounds, taste flavors or feel touches, special body parts pick up signals from the environment: like light waves entering our eyes, sound waves in our ears, chemicals in food, or the pressure of objects on our skin. But there’s no special part for sensing time—no “time particles (微粒)” that the brain can detect. Our brains don’t feel time directly; they guess it. Just like a clock, the brain judges how much time has passed by following changes. But unlike a clock, it has no regular ticks (滴答声). To guess time, the brain simply counts how many things happen. If you fill your time with interesting activities, it seems to last longer. In experiments, a flashing picture feels longer than a still one of the same time. Brains tell time by tracking changes. This explains why exciting or scary events (like car accidents) make time seem to slow down. In a famous study, people fell backwards into a net from over 30 meters high. When asked how long the experience lasted, they said it was 30% longer than watching others fall. Strong emotions make people pay more attention, so the brain stores more detailed memories. To know why 2025 passed so fast, we need to tell two ways of judging time: looking back (how much time passed) and feeling in the moment (how fast time goes). Waiting at the dentist feels slower than playing with a new toy. The key is what you focus on. The more you pay attention to time itself, the slower it seems to pass. 32. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discover. B. Ignore. C. Doubt. D. Stand. 33. How do our brains judge the passing of time? A. By picking up special “time particles”. B. By following the regular ticks like a clock. C. By sensing the number of things that happen. D. By feeling the pressure from the environment. 34. Why is the famous study mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show falling from high places is scary. B. To show people often slow time in danger. C. To prove watching others fall takes more time. D. To prove strong emotions slow time perception. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How people make time pass slowly. B. What time perception studies tell us. C. Why our perception of time changes. D. When people sense time going quickly. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. 36 Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively. 37 Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes. For instance, translating “my wife is gluten-free (不能吃面筋)” into French or Italian as “my wife is without gluten” misses the intended meaning: However, competitors offer better choices. 38 It offers no direct translations, but imitates(模仿) a native speaker’s input(输入). While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. 39 As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. 40 Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology. A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect. B. And they prefer the convenience of AI. C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation. D. Travel has long been a motivator for study. E. Despite this, the social significance of language remains. F. This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology. G. ChatGPT stands out by creating natural-sounding paraphrases. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, my grandfather suggested I spend a week with him, helping to restore an old community garden. I was initially hesitant (犹豫的), as I had no 41 in gardening and feared failure. The garden was in a 42 state; weeds were everywhere, and the few remaining plants looked weak.

They went to the same school, played on the same soccer team, and even wore matching bracelets (手链). Everyone around them said they were like two sides of the same coin. They believed nothing could come between them. But things started to change when a new girl Daisy came to their class. One day, their teacher, Mr. Lynn, announced a big group project. “Pick a partner,” he said. Emily immediately turned to Zoe, expecting her usual smile and a quick “yes.” But to her surprise, Zoe was already talking to Daisy. “I’m going to work with Daisy this time,” Zoe said to Emily, almost too casually. Emily felt like the air had been knocked out of her. She nodded and forced a smile, but inside, she was confused and hurt. That night, she stared at her phone screen, hoping for a message that never came. Over the next few days, she avoided Zoe. Their texts stopped, they no longer sat together during lunch, and the bracelets they once wore daily were now left at home. Even during class, Emily found it hard to focus, her mind replaying the moment when Zoe chose someone else. Weeks passed. The school organized a three-day camping trip in the mountains. Students were divided into several groups. Emily and Zoe ended up in the same one, along with Daisy and two other classmates. Though they barely spoke, they worked together to put up tents and gather firewood. Their conversations were limited to short, polite exchanges — nothing like before. On the second night, dark clouds rolled in and heavy rain soon followed. Everyone rushed into their own tents. Emily quickly discovered that hers was leaking(漏水). Cold and upset, she went outside, seeking for help. The wind howled around her, and each raindrop felt like a tiny needle against her skin. Paragraph 1: Just then, she saw a flashlight(闪光灯) approaching. ____________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent.___________________________________________ 襄阳四中2025级高一年级期中学情质量检测 参考答案 听力理解：1-5 BABCA 6-10 ABBAA 11-15 CCBBB 16-20 ACACB 阅读理解：21-23 BBC 24-27 CDCD 28-31 AABB 32-35 ACDC 36-40 FAGBE 完形填空：41-45 CBADA 46-50 BACBD 51-55 ABCAC 语法填空：56. protected 57. to 58. the 59. were 60. which 61. its 62. cultural 63. playing 64. shorter 65.is located 写 作： 第一节： Possible Version Show up for Inter-class Running Recently, an increasing number of students in our school have been skipping the inter-class running activity under various excuses.① While some excuses may sound reasonable, avoiding exercise frequently does more harm than good. To begin with, the inter-class run is designed to help us refresh during long study hours, and it plays a vital role in building physical fitness and mental resilience. Furthermore, it is a shared activity that strengthens our sense of unity. So skipping it not only affects our personal health but also weakens team spirit. Therefore, I suggest we all change our attitude—see running not as a burden, but as a daily chance to refresh both body and mind. If you really feel unwell, do inform your teacher in advance. ②Also, wearing proper sports shoes and doing light stretches beforehand can make running safer and more enjoyable. Let's embrace this opportunity, run with enthusiasm, and make our school days healthier and more energetic! 第二节： Paragraph 1: Just then, she saw a flashlight(闪光灯) approaching.As it got closer, she realized it was her best friend, Zoe. Without hesitation, Zoe rushed over to her side and asked with great concern, "Are you alright? I've come to lend you a hand." A surge of joy and security washed over Emily instantly. Zoe steadied the damaged tent firmly, while Emily devoted herself to repairing it with all her effort. Although the rain was pouring down heavily outside, the two girls cooperated perfectly with each other. Before long, the tent was starting to recover its original condition. Paragraph 2: With Zoe’s help, they soon fixed the tent.Sitting inside the dry shelter, Emily sincerely apologized for her earlier coldness. Zoe replied gently, "It's all right. Friends support each other, especially in tough times."Their conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter that lasted until the storm passed. That unforgettable night, Emily came to a profound realization that genuine friendship means standing by someone's side when they are in desperate need. She felt immensely fortunate and grateful to have such a precious friend like Zoe by her side. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
