(我们很高兴介绍《课堂使用新闻》：这是一份周刊，包含一则新闻及基于该新闻的活动，你可将其用作热身、过渡或收尾任务。)”以及INTRO部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (根据这则特定新闻配套的活动安排，你或许需要向学生宣读它，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据。)”以及ACTIVITY 部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (你或许需要把它读给学生听，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据 —— 具体如何使用，取决于与这则特定新闻搭配的活动是什么。)”可知，文中多次出现“你的学生”、“教学”等与教师相关的表述，由此可推断，该文本的目标读者是教师。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stories covered in the newsletter range from breaking news to more evergreen content which you will be able to go back to according to your students’ needs.(该周刊涵盖的新闻故事从突发新闻到长期适用的内容不等，你可根据学生需求反复使用这些内容。)”可知，周刊包含可反复使用的内容，即提供可重复利用的阅读材料。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据ACTIVITY 部分中的“If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. (如果您教授水平较低的学生（初学者），可以使用较简单的问题，或者直接让学生说出他们对这则新闻的看法。)”可知，向初学者推荐的活动是让他们表达自己的观点。故选C项。 B Long before I had studied a second language, I had an absolute romance with my first language — English. When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood. If something that qualifies has qualification, I thought something that terrifies ought to have terrification. This way of thinking opened up a whole world of creativity to me that had never existed before. However, when I started studying other languages, I lost this fascination. The more I’ve interacted with other masters of many languages, the more this seems like an almost universally shared experience: as one falls in love with other languages and digs into other forms of communication, one starts to lose an appreciation of his or her native tongue. This is perfectly natural. As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison. But then something happened that completely refueled the love I had for my mother tongue: I encountered that same creative passion I once felt in somebody else’s work. One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid. Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language. 4. What could the author do at a young age? A. Guess new words’ meanings. B. Make up non-existent words. C. Make use of grammatical rules. D. Create new sentence structures. 5. Why did the author lose the love for English? A. Its popularity was in decline. B. Its inflexibility was apparent. C. It failed to offer fresh excitement. D. It gave him fewer growth chances. 6. What does the underlined word “allured” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sensed. B. Drawn. C. Persuaded. D. Supported. 7. What finally made the author appreciate English? A. Poems’ complex emotions. B. Special writing techniques. C. Lewis Carroll’s creativity. D. Intense love for literature. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对母语英语的情感变化过程，从最初对英语的热爱，到学习其他语言后对英语的热情减退，再到通过阅读刘易斯·卡罗尔的作品重新燃起对英语的热爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood.(当我还是个小男孩的时候，我意识到通过应用某些语言规则，我可以创造出完全能被理解的单词。)”可知，作者在小的时候可以创造不存在的单词。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison.(当我们开始通过外语以新的和令人兴奋的方式扩展我们的视野时，相比之下，我们的母语开始显得无趣，甚至令人厌烦。)”可知，作者失去对英语的热爱是因为英语无法再给他带来新鲜的兴奋感。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid.(我小时候最喜欢的书之一是刘易斯·卡罗尔的《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》。成年后再读这本书，我依然像小时候一样allured。)”可知，作者小时候对语言着迷，成年后也一样被吸引，所以划线词“allured”意为“吸引”，与“Drawn”含义相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language. (这本书中的一些单词要么不是真实的单词，要么在写这本书的时候不是真实的单词。但它们让你联想到某种特定感觉的特定类型的单词。每一个非内容词中的语言差异都绝对令人着迷，我读和背诵这本书中的诗歌越多，我就越能感受到对英语的熟悉和热情。我决定暂时把注意力从外语上移开，专注于并好好欣赏我的母语。)”可知，是刘易斯·卡罗尔的创造力最终让作者重新欣赏英语。故选C项。 C Whether you want to assess your hormone (荷尔蒙) levels or heart health, find out why you’re tired all the time or get a general wellness profile, increasing numbers of at-home self-testing tools are promising to help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health. Self-diagnosis tests are flooding the market. “Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a sociologist. Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance. Doctors will look at a patient’s medical history and assess symptoms before deciding on the appropriate method of diagnosis. They will also follow up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all of that may be missing. Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science. For example, some companies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way to detect hormonal issues. However, scientific evidence shows that saliva tests are not reliable, as they do not account for the complex interactions between hormones in the body. Shih has been studying YouTube influencers who promote self-diagnosis. Her concerns include misleading information, the risk of over-testing, and that self-testing may lead to unnecessary use of non-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.” she added. Largely thanks to advances in diagnostic technology and digital health, in the US alone, sales of direct-to-consumer tests increased from $15 million in 2010 to $1.15 billion in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not. 8. Why do people choose self-testing tools? A. They can assess hormone levels accurately. B. They can replace professional medical advice. C. They are effective in controlling disease process. D. They are superior in availability and flexibility. 9. What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly discuss? A. The wide popularity of self-testing. B. Some failed cases about self-testing. C. The associated problems of self-testing. D. Some scientific doubts about self-testing. 10. What is Shih’s biggest concern? A. Misuse of untested supplements. B. Promotion of so-called cancer self-tests. C. Misleading information from sales markets. D. Hidden risks of too much self-testing at home. 11. What suggestion do the experts give for self-testing? A. Self-testing should be managed intensively. B. Consumers should stop self-testing immediately. C. Companies should tackle all problems in diagnostic technology. D. The government should make self-testing affordable to consumers. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自测工具的流行原因、存在问题及专家对其监管和使用的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health.(通常，这些被宣传为一种灵活的方式，让人们能够掌控自己的个人健康状况)”和第二段中“Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want(许多消费者正在使用这些（自我检测工具），因为它们容易获得，还因为要预约看医生可能得等上好几个星期，而且他们想要做的检查可能还会被拒绝)”可知，人们选择自我检测工具是因为它们在可获得性和灵活性方面有优势。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance.(尽管一些自我检测可能是有用的，但使用它们仍存在一系列问题，比如缺乏医疗指导)”和第四段中“Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science.(其他一些自我检测可能会得出准确的结果，但仍然不会特别有帮助。甚至其中一些自我检测还没有科学依据)” 可知，这两段主要讨论的是自我检测相关的问题。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.(或许最令人担忧的是在美国市场上销售的癌症自测产品。这些产品声称能够在症状出现之前检测出50多种癌症)” 可知，Shih最担心的是在美国销售的所谓癌症自我检测。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not.(自我测试不太可能消失，因此专家呼吁加强监管，让患者更清楚地了解何时应该进行测试，何时不应该进行测试)”可推知，专家们建议对自我测试进行严格管理。故选A。 D You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself. Happiness, it seems, is not just a state of mind — it’s a shared enterprise. A new study has found that almost any activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others. Whether pumping gas, or cooking dinner, the company of another person appears to make life’s routines a little brighter. The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, drew on data from more than 40,000 Americans who collectively reported over 100,000 daily activities. “Participants consistently rate every common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, the study’s senior author. Even seasoned experts on social behavior were taken aback by the consistency of the findings. “I was surprised by the extent and extremity of the effects,” admitted Nicholas Epley, a behavioral scientist who was not involved in the research. Unsurprisingly, the biggest boosts were linked to activities already social by nature — eating, drinking, walking, running, and playing games. Yet even solitary (独自的) pursuits such as reading, or crafting also saw a happiness bump when shared. While in-person interactions provided the strongest benefits, even phone calls produced measurable mood improvements. Dunn notes that if it can’t be in-person, having some element of voice seems to be important. The study did not include personality data, leaving unanswered how individual characteristics might influence outcomes. Previous studies, however, suggest that social connection reliably enhances wellbeing across personality types. Researchers identify “undersociality” — the tendency to underestimate how warmly others will respond to social initiatives — as a primary barrier to seeking connection. The practical implications are clear; we should intentionally create more opportunities for social engagement. Simple strategies such as working alongside friends at coffee shops or conversing by phone while completing chores can transform ordinary activities into sources of joy. Ultimately, the research convincingly demonstrates that happiness arises not merely from what we do, but fundamentally from who we do it with. 12. How was the research mainly conducted? A. By analyzing massive activity reports. B. By conducting laboratory experiments. C. By comparing different personality types. D. By interviewing experts in social behavior. 13. What did the study find about social interactions? A. They require face-to-face communication. B. Their effects vary greatly among individuals. C. They enhance enjoyment of various activities. D. They bring greater joy in independent activities. 14. Why does the author mention previous studies in paragraph 4? A. To stress the limitation of the new study. B. To introduce a different research method. C. To provide supporting evidence for a claim. D. To question the findings of the new study. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Alone or Together: A Social Dilemma. B. Social Activities: Relationship Builder. C. Personality Differences: A Factor in Social Joy. D. Shared Moments: The Social Key to Happiness. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现，与他人共同完成日常活动能提升幸福感，社交互动是获得快乐的关键因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, drew on data from more than 40,000 Americans who collectively reported over 100,000 daily activities.(这项发表在《社会心理与人格科学》上的研究，利用了4万多名美国人的数据，他们总共报告了超过10万项日常活动。)”可知，该研究主要通过分析大量的活动报告开展。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study has found that almost any activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others.(一项新研究发现，几乎任何活动，无论是平凡的还是意义深远的，与他人一起做都会变得更愉快。)”可知，研究发现社交互动能提升各类活动的愉悦感。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Previous studies, however, suggest that social connection reliably enhances wellbeing across personality types.(然而，以往的研究表明，社交联系确实能提升各种性格类型人群的幸福感。)”可知，作者提及以往研究是为了给观点提供支持性证据。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Happiness, it seems, is not just a state of mind — it’s a shared enterprise. A new study has found that almost any activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others.(幸福似乎不仅仅是一种心态，更是一项共同的事业。一项新研究发现，几乎任何活动，无论是平凡的还是意义深远的，与他人一起做都会变得更愉快。)”以及最后一段中的“Ultimately, the research convincingly demonstrates that happiness arises not merely from what we do, but fundamentally from who we do it with.(最终，该研究有力地证明，幸福不仅仅来自我们做什么，更根本地来自我们和谁一起做。)”可知，全文核心观点是与他人共享时光是获得幸福的社交关键，因此“Shared Moments: The Social Key to Happiness(共度时光：通往幸福的社交密码)”概括了文章的主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 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。 After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade. But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” ___16___ In the past, students understood it and they knew “A” required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades. ___17___ It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. ___18___ We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. ___19___ Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too. Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that “A” is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. ___20___ A. Teachers are to blame. B. It is to ask how to improve. C. This isn’t Generation Z’s fault. D. “B” may not fully reflect your dedication. E. It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire. F. High marks are for excellence, not perseverance. G. But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了当下学生将努力与成绩挂钩的现象，阐明成绩应基于知识掌握而非单纯付出的观点。 【16题详解】 根据空前“But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” (但最近我听到了一个新的抱怨：“我的成绩没有体现出我在这门课上付出的努力。”)”以及空后“In the past, students understood it and they knew “A” required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. (过去，学生们都明白这一点，也知道A级成绩需要实打实的出色表现。然而如今，Z世代期望自己付出的努力多少能得到回报，而非依据掌握知识的质量来评判)”可知，此空应点明成绩的评定标准，即高分奖励的是优秀成果而非努力过程，F选项“High marks are for excellence, not perseverance. (高分是对优秀成果的奖励，而非对坚持不懈的努力的认可)”承接前文的学生抱怨，且引出后文的古今对比，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据空后“It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. (这是对一种流行的教育理论产生误解所导致的结果)”可知，此空应表明Z世代的这种想法并非其自身的过错，C选项“This isn’t Generation Z’s fault. (这并不是Z世代的错)”引出后文对该现象成因的分析，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. (心理学家早就发现，奖励努力有助于培养强烈的职业道德，还能强化学习效果)”以及空后“We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. (我们已经从赞扬努力，变成了将努力本身当作最终目的。我们没能提醒他们，努力并不一定能保证把事情做好)”可知，此空应形成转折，指出如今人们对赞扬努力这件事做得过了头，G选项“But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far. (但我们把赞扬勤奋这件事做得太过火了)”承接前文的正确理念，且引出后文的过度做法，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. (面对不理想的成绩，理想的反应不是抱怨自己的勤奋没有得到回报)”以及空后“Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. (更努力地尝试并不总是解决问题的办法。有时候需要更聪明地学习，还有些时候则需要彻底转向其他方向)”可知，此空应说明面对不理想成绩的正确做法是寻求改进方法，B选项“It is to ask how to improve. (而是应该思考如何改进)”与前文的错误做法形成对比，且引出后文的具体建议，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. (衡量学习的真正标准，不是你投入了多少时间和精力)”可知，此空应点明衡量学习的真正标准是学到的知识和技能，E选项“It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire. (而是你所掌握的知识和技能)”与前文形成“不是……而是……”的逻辑关系，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分：语言运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 第一节完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong.

They had won the championship the night before, yet now they felt somewhat ___22___. “We actually lost to Apache 43 — 42,” King announced. “The recordkeeper ___23___ the score.” All fell silent. “But this doesn’t ___24___ how proud I am of you and how hard we worked to get here.” ___25___, it was a bitter pill for them to swallow. Within 20 minutes’ debating, the whole team ___26___ to turn the trophy (奖杯) over to the rightful champions, Apache. The game had been physical and ___27___. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points. The Academy players, ___28___ to give up and fought back hard, hitting shot after shot. Ultimately, they hit a 3-point buzzer-beater (压哨球) to top Apache by a point. The players ___29___, but strangely King had a sinking feeling. That night, he replayed the game tape carefully, counting every ____30____. His gut (直觉) was right: An Academy shot was mistakenly counted due to the recordkeeper’s poor angle. The next morning, he ____31____ the basketball officials before addressing his ____32____. With his team’s support, King drove to Apache to ____33____ the trophy. “I know we didn’t have to do this,” King says. “But for us ____34____ means far more than a trophy.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm. I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts (零件) for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No Internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference! Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes, it was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公Jude因去年不小心闯祸心存愧疚，暑假来到奶奶农场内心忐忑不安。偶遇杰克逊先生后，他并未责怪Jude。恰逢农场急需搭建网络线上售卖玫瑰，Jude擅长电脑技术，主动伸出援手，最终帮助玫瑰热销，并领悟了能力出众不在于从不犯错，而在于直面错误、发挥长处。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写主人公主动帮忙组装零件、调试网络，熟练上架玫瑰商品进行线上售卖，很快吸引了不少顾客关注。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写众人忙碌打包鲜花的热闹场景，奶奶十分欣慰，主人公内心深受触动，明白了成长的真谛。 2. 续写线索：鼓起勇气帮忙→搭建调试网络→线上发布售卖→订单不断涌入→众人忙碌欣喜→感悟人生道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 决定：decide/determine ② 宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ① 高兴：joy/delight ② 温和地： warmly/gently 【点睛】【高分句型1】Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.(运用了现在分词短语Following Grandma作伴随状语和where引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes, it was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和动名词作主语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高二年级下学期期中综合素质评价 英语学科 （满分150分、考试时间120分钟) Ⅰ卷（共95分） 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题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood. If something that qualifies has qualification, I thought something that terrifies ought to have terrification. This way of thinking opened up a whole world of creativity to me that had never existed before. However, when I started studying other languages, I lost this fascination. The more I’ve interacted with other masters of many languages, the more this seems like an almost universally shared experience: as one falls in love with other languages and digs into other forms of communication, one starts to lose an appreciation of his or her native tongue. This is perfectly natural. As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison. But then something happened that completely refueled the love I had for my mother tongue: I encountered that same creative passion I once felt in somebody else’s work. One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid. Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language. 4. What could the author do at a young age? A. Guess new words’ meanings. B. Make up non-existent words. C. Make use of grammatical rules. D. Create new sentence structures. 5. Why did the author lose the love for English? A. Its popularity was in decline. B. Its inflexibility was apparent. C. It failed to offer fresh excitement. D. It gave him fewer growth chances. 6. What does the underlined word “allured” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sensed. B. Drawn. C. Persuaded. D. Supported. 7. What finally made the author appreciate English? A. Poems’ complex emotions. B. Special writing techniques. C. Lewis Carroll’s creativity. D. Intense love for literature. C Whether you want to assess your hormone (荷尔蒙) levels or heart health, find out why you’re tired all the time or get a general wellness profile, increasing numbers of at-home self-testing tools are promising to help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health. Self-diagnosis tests are flooding the market. “Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a sociologist. Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance. Doctors will look at a patient’s medical history and assess symptoms before deciding on the appropriate method of diagnosis. They will also follow up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all of that may be missing. Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science. For example, some companies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way to detect hormonal issues. However, scientific evidence shows that saliva tests are not reliable, as they do not account for the complex interactions between hormones in the body. Shih has been studying YouTube influencers who promote self-diagnosis. Her concerns include misleading information, the risk of over-testing, and that self-testing may lead to unnecessary use of non-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.” she added. Largely thanks to advances in diagnostic technology and digital health, in the US alone, sales of direct-to-consumer tests increased from $15 million in 2010 to $1.15 billion in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not. 8. Why do people choose self-testing tools? A. They can assess hormone levels accurately. B. They can replace professional medical advice. C. They are effective in controlling disease process. D. They are superior in availability and flexibility. 9. What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly discuss? A. The wide popularity of self-testing. B. Some failed cases about self-testing. C. The associated problems of self-testing. D. Some scientific doubts about self-testing. 10. What is Shih’s biggest concern? A. Misuse of untested supplements. B. Promotion of so-called cancer self-tests. C. Misleading information from sales markets. D. Hidden risks of too much self-testing at home. 11. What suggestion do the experts give for self-testing? A. Self-testing should be managed intensively. B. Consumers should stop self-testing immediately. C. Companies should tackle all problems in diagnostic technology. D. The government should make self-testing affordable to consumers. D You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself. Happiness, it seems, is not just a state of mind — it’s a shared enterprise. A new study has found that almost any activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others. Whether pumping gas, or cooking dinner, the company of another person appears to make life’s routines a little brighter. The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, drew on data from more than 40,000 Americans who collectively reported over 100,000 daily activities. “Participants consistently rate every common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, the study’s senior author. Even seasoned experts on social behavior were taken aback by the consistency of the findings. “I was surprised by the extent and extremity of the effects,” admitted Nicholas Epley, a behavioral scientist who was not involved in the research. Unsurprisingly, the biggest boosts were linked to activities already social by nature — eating, drinking, walking, running, and playing games. Yet even solitary (独自的) pursuits such as reading, or crafting also saw a happiness bump when shared. While in-person interactions provided the strongest benefits, even phone calls produced measurable mood improvements. Dunn notes that if it can’t be in-person, having some element of voice seems to be important. The study did not include personality data, leaving unanswered how individual characteristics might influence outcomes. Previous studies, however, suggest that social connection reliably enhances wellbeing across personality types. Researchers identify “undersociality” — the tendency to underestimate how warmly others will respond to social initiatives — as a primary barrier to seeking connection. The practical implications are clear; we should intentionally create more opportunities for social engagement. Simple strategies such as working alongside friends at coffee shops or conversing by phone while completing chores can transform ordinary activities into sources of joy. Ultimately, the research convincingly demonstrates that happiness arises not merely from what we do, but fundamentally from who we do it with. 12. How was the research mainly conducted? A. By analyzing massive activity reports. B. By conducting laboratory experiments. C. By comparing different personality types. D. By interviewing experts in social behavior. 13.

But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” ___16___ In the past, students understood it and they knew “A” required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades. ___17___ It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. ___18___ We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. ___19___ Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too. Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that “A” is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. ___20___ A. Teachers are to blame. B. It is to ask how to improve. C. This isn’t Generation Z’s fault. D. “B” may not fully reflect your dedication. E. It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire. F. High marks are for excellence, not perseverance. G. But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far. 第三部分：语言运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 第一节完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm. I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts (零件) for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No Internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
