But, there are foods that just shouldn’t be seen near an air fryer. Before cooking with your air fryer, see which foods won’t work — even though they may be tempting to throw in there. Fresh greens Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air. When choosing vegetables to cook in the air fryer, make sure they hold some weight, like broccoli or zucchini. Kale chips may also be successful if coated in enough oil to weigh them down. Whole roasts The apparent issue with whole roasts is whether or not it will even fit properly into an air fryer basket, but even if it does fit, it’s best to just stick to the regular oven. The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding. Cheese Who wouldn’t love to instantly make some fried cheese to snack on? Since the air fryer isn’t truly “frying” the food, placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up. Battered foods Unless the food is pre-fried and frozen, you’ll want to avoid placing wet batter in the air fryer. Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil, meaning the food won’t have that crunchy shell. 1. Why is it not recommended to cook fresh leafy greens like spinach in an air fryer? A. They don’t hold enough weight. B. They cook unevenly and burn easily. C. They aren’t coated in oil to weigh them down. D. They require much preparation time to be successful. 2. What is the main problem with cooking whole roasts in an air fryer? A. The size of them makes them hard to fit. B. The skin of them usually becomes too dry. C. No proper circulation of hot air causes uneven cooking. D. It takes much longer to cook them than in a regular oven. 3. What do cheese and battered foods have in common when using an air fryer? A. They must be coated for preparation. B. They should be frozen before cooking. C. They can be cooked directly without issues. D. They’ll cause problems without proper handling. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了不宜用空气炸锅烹饪的几类食物及其原因，如新鲜绿叶菜、整块烤肉、奶酪和挂糊食物。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fresh greens标题下“Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air.(像菠菜这样的绿叶蔬菜，由于空气炸锅的高速空气，会烹饪不均匀，而且很容易烧焦)”可知，不建议在空气炸锅里烹饪新鲜绿叶蔬菜如菠菜是因为它们烹饪不均匀且容易烧焦。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Whole roasts标题下“The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding.(烤肉会烹饪不均匀，当离热源最远的部分可以安全食用时，离热源最近的部分很可能已经烧焦了。问题在于过于拥挤)”可知，用空气炸锅烹饪整块烤肉的主要问题是热空气循环不畅导致烹饪不均匀。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cheese标题下“placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up.(把奶酪放进去，如果没有某种涂层，奶酪就会融化成一滩，弄得一团糟，你不想清理)”和Battered foods标题下“Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil(除了会造成明显的混乱外，湿面糊不会像浸在油里那样凝固)”可知，奶酪和面糊类食物在使用空气炸锅时的共同点是，如果处理不当会产生问题。故选D。 B Georgia, who works for a popular fashion store in the UK named Bows Boutique, left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it. But her tears quickly dried when an off-duty firefighter named Nyma showed up at her door. A ring camera caught Georgia and Nyma’s exchange, and the owner of Bows Boutique posted the video on the store’s Instagram page. In it, Nyma rang her doorbell and Georgia answered it using a phone app. Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic. Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house. Because she wasn’t home at the time, he left the purse in an empty garbage bag and left. The owner and Georgia were so touched by the gesture, and they started a search for the mystery man so they could give him a proper “thank you”. It didn’t take long to find him. They invited him to the store for an official meet—and he went. “He is such a kind man,” reads another post. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many.” 4. Why did Georgia give up looking for her purse? A. She thought it was too far to go back to the gas station. B. She believed someone would send it to her. C. She was too busy with work to look for it. D. She believed someone had already taken it. 5. How did Nyma most likely find Georgia’s address? A. By checking the gas station’s records. B. Through information in her purse. C. By using the store’s Instagram page. D. By contacting the. police. 6. What did Nyma ask Georgia to do? A. Give him some money as a reward. B. Drive to his house to get the purse. C. Do something good for others. D. Post the story on Instagram. 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Georgia will start a volunteer program. B. The video on Instagram made Nyma famous. C. Nyma is a rich man and doesn’t need the money. D. The owner of Bows Boutique will give Nyma a big present. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Georgia在参加完公司聚会后，将钱包遗落在加油站，一位名叫Nyma的下班消防员发现钱包后，开车数小时直接将钱包送到她家门口，归还钱包后还拒绝了她给的钱，只希望她能把这份善意传递下去。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it.(她很伤心，但想到一定是有人把它拿走了，她放弃了回去找它的想法，也没有打电话向电台询问。)”可知，Georgia放弃找她的钱包是因为她认为已经有人拿走了。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic.(Nyma解释了他在哪里找到了丢失的钱包，并说他决定直接开车去她家，这样她就不用再经历额外的恐慌了。)”可知，Nyma能知道Georgia的地址，应该是在钱包里找到了相关信息，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house.(他只是让她把爱传递出去，并解释说，虽然乔治娅知道他需要开车几个小时到她家，但这对他来说并不麻烦。)”可知，Nyma让Georgia为别人做点好事。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many.(这段视频已经被观看了数百万次，我们希望他能对很多人产生积极的影响。)”可知，视频广泛传播，所以Instagram上的这段视频让Nyma出名了。故选B。 C After eight years of planning and a cost of more than £39 million, a Swedish church, Kyrka, began a slow 5km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe’s biggest underground mine (矿区). This huge wooden Swedish Protestant church, built in 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, half a kilometre per hour. The move is part of a huge multi-decade project to relocate the whole Arctic town as the iron mine weakens the ground, threatening the survival of the town. Designed by Gustaf Wickman, the church is one of Sweden’s most-loved older buildings. More than 10,000 people, including the Swedish king, Carl XVI Gustaf, are expected to line the streets to see the move of the red wooden building. The expansion has attracted criticism, including from the Sami community, who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding (放牧驯鹿) hard, threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia, a reindeer owner, warned the move was “a big show” to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. She accused the company of “land-grabbing” the grassland territory needed to support Sami culture. Fredriksson, who hosted a podcast on local news, was happy, at least, that the church had been saved, and hadn’t ended up “as woodchips.” The mining company said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought “constructive solutions” when mining affected reindeer herding; its CEO, Jan Moström, said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain, the city center must move. The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year, but the city’s relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035. 8. What do we know about the church? A. Its relocation lasts over eight years. B. It travels across the entire Arctic town. C. It is to be moved as a whole to a new place. D. It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a big show” suggest about the move? A. It’s a technical exhibition. B. It’s a misleading public display. C. It’s a huge advance towards biodiversity. D. It’s an enormous threat to Sami community. 10. What can be inferred about company’s statement? A. It viewed the move as unavoidable. B. It expected a rise in reindeer. C. It focused more on cultural heritage. D. It regretted the project’s high expense. 11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Mine expansion impacts Sami culture B. Herding forces an Arctic Town to relocate C. Locals save Sweden’s most-loved church D. A historic church moves for mine expansion 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了瑞典一座历史悠久的教堂为给欧洲最大的地下矿区扩建让路而进行整体搬迁的情况，以及各方对此的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This huge wooden Swedish Protestant church, built in 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, half a kilometre per hour. The move is part of a huge multi-decade project to relocate the whole Arctic town as the iron mine weakens the ground, threatening the survival of the town.(这座始建于 1912 年的瑞典新教木质大教堂，将用两天时间整体平移至新址，移动速度为每小时0.5公里。由于铁矿开采导致地面沉降，整座北极城镇的存续受到威胁，此次教堂迁移正是这项跨度数十年的城镇整体搬迁工程的一部分。)”可知，这座教堂将作为一个整体被搬到一个新地方。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The expansion has attracted criticism, including from the Sami community, who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding (放牧驯鹿) hard, threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia, a reindeer owner, warned the move was “a big show” to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. She accused the company of “land-grabbing” the grassland territory needed to support Sami culture. Fredriksson, who hosted a podcast on local news, was happy, at least, that the church had been saved, and hadn’t ended up “as woodchips.”(铁矿扩建计划引发了不少批评声，其中就包括萨米原住民社区。他们担忧土地被分割会阻碍驯鹿放牧，进而威胁当地生物多样性。驯鹿养殖户Karin K Niia警告称，这次教堂迁移不过是一场“a big show”，目的是转移公众对采矿活动给小镇及其本土文化造成破坏的关注。她指责矿业公司“掠夺”了维系萨米文化所必需的草原用地。)”可知，萨米人担心土地的分割会威胁到他们的驯鹿放牧和当地生物多样性，认为公司是在“掠夺”他们的土地，因此他们认为这次迁移是“a big show”，即一个误导公众的展示，用来分散人们对采矿对城镇和本土文化破坏的注意力。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The mining company said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought “constructive solutions” when mining affected reindeer herding; its CEO, Jan Moström, said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain, the city center must move.(这家矿业公司表示，这次迁移对于教堂的继续存在是必要的，并强调在采矿影响驯鹿放牧时，它寻求“建设性的解决方案”；该公司首席执行官Jan Moström说，搬迁工作耗资超过5亿瑞典克朗，如果矿区要保留，市中心就必须搬迁。)”可知，矿业公司认为这次迁移是必要的，如果矿区要保留，市中心就必须搬迁，由此可推知，矿业公司认为迁移是不可避免的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“After eight years of planning and a cost of more than £39 million, a Swedish church, Kyrka, began a slow 5km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe’s biggest underground mine (矿区).(经过8年的规划和超过3900万英镑的成本，瑞典一座名为Kyrka的教堂于周二开始了缓慢的5公里旅程，为欧洲最大的地下矿区的扩建让路。)”可知，文章主要报道了一座具有历史意义的教堂为矿区扩建而迁移，引发了争议。因此，D选项“A historic church moves for mine expansion(一座历史悠久的教堂为矿区扩建而迁移)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 D As adults, fear is something we feel we have to carry alone, afraid to share it because it might make us seem weak. This is especially true for business leaders. Fear can be perceived as a lack of belief. But the truth is, trying something new and pushing beyond the familiar is always going to be scary. Launching a startup, developing a new product, or stepping into a new market means navigating the unknown. No matter how much we plan, there’s always uncertainty. And that uncertainty brings fear—whether it’s the fear of failing, being judged, or facing rejection. Treat fear as a built-in Survival Guide. When you face something uncertain or threatening, your brain’s amygdala (杏仁核) kicks into gear, cueing reactions that prepare you to either fight or flight. In addition to fast-acting neurotransmitters (神经递质), your brain also uses neuropeptides (神经肽), which act more slowly but help adjust your fear response, making sure you stay aware of potential risks. Fear itself is not bad. It’s a natural response designed to protect you. In fact, as one of our oldest survival mechanisms, it can even be healthy. It can help avoid casual decisions, heighten our awareness, and fuel our motivation. Yet, we crush it, leading to its worst effects—overthinking, poor communication, and missed opportunities because we shy away from risks. As a result, we often get all of its drawbacks without any of its benefits: work is slower because of analysis paralysis (瘫痪); communication is unproductive because we hold back information; innovation is limited because we avoid taking any risks. What if instead we embraced fear as a natural part of life, one that’s full of curiosity, experimentation, and creativity? Making friends with fear means recognizing that it’s not something to avoid or ignore, but rather something to treat as helpful information. When you stop running from fear and start working with it, amazing things can happen. By feeling your fear, examining its source, speaking out your needs, and reflecting on the experience, you can transform this natural response into a powerful driver of personal and professional progress. 12. What do the underlined words “kick into gear” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Lose control. B. Start working. C. Start fighting. D. Come into effect. 13. What can we learn about “neuropeptides”? A. They are less useful than the neurotransmitters. B. They help you prepare yourself in face of fear. C. They help improve your response towards fear. D. They can make sure you avoid potential risks. 14. Which of the following statements does the author agree with? A. Fear should be crushed and avoided. B. Fear can also be taken advantage of. C. Fear itself is perfectly good and healthy. D. Fear totally comes from a lack of confidence. 15. What is the most suitable title of this article? A. Making Friends with Fear. B. Being Brave and Fearless. C. Sharing Fear Makes You Weak. D. Fear Always Leads to Failure. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“恐惧”这一主题，阐述了其作用与生理机制，呼吁接纳恐惧助力成长。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“cueing reactions that prepare you to either fight or flight(让你准备战斗或逃跑的暗示反应)”可知，当面对不确定或有威胁的事物时，大脑的杏仁核会开始运转，引发让身体准备好战斗或逃跑的反应，所以“kick into gear”应是“开始运转、启动”的意思，和Start working意思相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In addition to fast-acting neurotransmitters (神经递质), your brain also uses neuropeptides (神经肽), which act more slowly but help adjust your fear response, making sure you stay aware of potential risks.(除了快速作用的神经递质，你的大脑还使用神经肽，它的作用更慢，但有助于调整你的恐惧反应，确保你保持对潜在风险的意识。)”可知，神经肽有助于提高你对恐惧的反应。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Fear itself is not bad. It’s a natural response designed to protect you. In fact, as one of our oldest survival mechanisms, it can even be healthy. It can help avoid casual decisions, heighten our awareness, and fuel our motivation.(恐惧本身并不坏。这是保护你的自然反应。事实上，作为我们最古老的生存机制之一，它甚至可以是健康的。它可以帮助我们避免随意的决定，提高我们的意识，并激发我们的动力。)”以及第八段“Making friends with fear means recognizing that it’s not something to avoid or ignore, but rather something to treat as helpful information.(与恐惧交朋友意味着认识到它不是要避免或忽视的东西，而是要把它当作有用的信息来对待。)”可知，作者认为恐惧有其积极作用，可以被利用，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第四段“In fact, as one of our oldest survival mechanisms, it can even be healthy. It can help avoid casual decisions, heighten our awareness, and fuel our motivation.(事实上，作为我们最古老的生存机制之一，它甚至可以是健康的。它可以帮助我们避免随意的决定，提高我们的意识，并激发我们的动力。)”可知，本文主要讲的是恐惧的作用与生理机制，呼吁接纳恐惧助力成长，因此最恰当的标题是A选项“Making Friends with Fear.(与恐惧交朋友。)”。故选A。 第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。 When finances feel unclear or unpredictable, your nervous system may remain on high alert, attempting to protect you from potential dangers. ___16___ Fortunately, our financial situation does not simply determine our peace. It is shaped even more by how we relate to our money. When you have simple habits that help you see what is happening, make thoughtful decisions, and feel prepared for what comes next, your stress begins to soften. These supportive habits are designed for you. ___17___ Create a simple and supportive spending plan. A spending plan is not about limiting your life. ___18___ Knowing what is coming and where it is going reduces fear of the unknown. You gain clarity, which creates emotional comfort. Track what comes in and what goes out. Recording your income and spending is a powerful way to create emotional clarity. In this way, you can see what is happening with your money. ___19___ Awareness helps you make choices with confidence instead of reacting from worry or uncertainty. Consider checking in once a week and observing. Some people like using apps for this, while others prefer a simple notebook or notes on their phone. What matters most is consistency, not perfection. ___20___ It is more than a savings account. It is a sense of security. Knowing you have something set aside, even if it starts very small, can soften your stress in a noticeable way. It sends a message to your mind that you are cared for and prepared. You do not need a large amount to begin. Start with what feels realistic. Even setting aside a few dollars each week creates momentum. The habit matters more than the size. Over time, these small amounts add up and begin to form a foundation of support. A. That constant worry can be exhausting. B. Build a small but steady emergency fund. C. Make a kind and realistic plan for paying down debt. D. They may help you feel more grounded with your money. E. It’s about helping you feel calm and informed with your money. F. Staying aware and calm can help you know more about your account. G. Knowing it helps you remove the guesswork that often leads to stress. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过建立好的财务习惯来减轻财务压力，获得内心的平静。 【16题详解】 上文“When finances feel unclear or unpredictable, your nervous system may remain on high alert, attempting to protect you from potential dangers.(当财务状况不明朗或不可预测时，你的神经系统可能会一直处于高度警惕状态，试图保护你免受潜在危险的伤害)”说明财务不明朗会让神经系统警惕、产生担忧。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种持续担忧的影响。所以A项“那种持续的担忧会让人疲惫不堪。”符合语境。前文的“high alert”，“potential dangers”与A项中的“constant worry”相呼应。故选A。 【17题详解】 上文“When you have simple habits that help you see what is happening, make thoughtful decisions, and feel prepared for what comes next, your stress begins to soften. These supportive habits are designed for you.(当你有一些简单的习惯，帮助你看清正在发生的事情，做出深思熟虑的决定，并为接下来的事情做好准备时，你的压力就会开始缓解。这些有益的习惯是为你设计的)”说明有益的习惯能缓解财务压力、帮助应对财务问题。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这些习惯的具体作用。所以D项“它们可能会帮助你在金钱方面更有底气。”符合语境。D项中的They与上文中的“These supportive habits”相呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 上文“A spending plan is not about limiting your life.(支出计划不是为了限制你的生活)”说明支出计划的核心不是限制，空处应承接前文，说明支出计划的真正目的。所以E项“它是为了帮助你在金钱方面感到平静和了解情况。”符合语境。E项中的It与上文中的“A spending plan”相呼应，且“not about...It’s about...”构成句式呼应，明确支出计划的真正意义。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Recording your income and spending is a powerful way to create emotional clarity. In this way, you can see what is happening with your money.(记录你的收入和支出是一种获得情感清晰的有效方法。通过这种方式，你可以看清你的钱的去向)”说明记录收支能让人清楚资金情况。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种清楚了解的好处。所以G项“了解这一点有助于你消除常常导致压力的猜测。”符合语境。G项中的it与上文中的“what is happening with your money”相呼应，且“remove the guesswork”与前文的“see what is happening”形成对应。故选G。 【20题详解】 下文“It is more than a savings account. It is a sense of security. Knowing you have something set aside, even if it starts very small, can soften your stress in a noticeable way.(它不仅仅是一个储蓄账户。这是一种安全感。知道自己有一些储备，即使一开始很少，也能显著缓解你的压力)”说明此处介绍的是一种能提供安全感、缓解压力的财务习惯，即储备资金。空处应是该段的主旨句，引出下文的内容。所以B项“建立一个小而稳定的应急基金。”符合语境。B项中的“emergency fund”与下文中的“something set aside”，“savings account”相呼应，概括了该段核心内容。故选B。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In 1958, during the holiday season, a young student named John Cruitt faced a life-altering tragedy.

Among them were Alex, a curious and adventurous boy, and his reserved but intelligent classmate, Maya. Everyone was in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked along the well-marked trail. As they hiked deeper into the mountains, the beautiful scenery around them was breathtaking. Lush green trees towered above, and colorful wildflowers dotted the path. The students stopped occasionally to take pictures, trying to capture the beauty of nature. Alex, always eager to explore, would run ahead a little, then wait impatiently for the rest of the group. After a few hours of hiking, they reached a fork in the trail. Mr. Brown, checking the map, told the students that the left path would lead them to a magnificent waterfall, while the right one would take them back to the starting point. Most of the students voted to go left and see the waterfall. However, Maya, who had been quietly observing the weather, noticed some dark clouds gathering in the distance. She worried that a storm might be approaching and suggested they return. But her voice was drowned out by the excited chatter of her classmates, and they decided to continue on the left path. As they got closer to the waterfall, the sound of rushing water grew louder. Just as they were about to reach their destination, large raindrops began to fall. In no time, it turned into a heavy downpour. The path, which was muddy to begin with, became slippery and dangerous. The students huddled together, not knowing what to do next. Mr. Brown tried to keep everyone calm, but the situation was getting out of control. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alex, who was usually so fearless, now started to feel a bit scared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Alex, who was usually so fearless, now started to feel a bit scared. The heavy rain made visibility poor, and the strong wind was making the trees sway dangerously. His classmates were also looking around anxiously, their excited expressions replaced by worry. Mr. Brown was trying his best to shield the students from the rain with his coat, but it was of little use. Alex’s teeth chattered as he thought about the possible consequences of getting stuck in this storm. He regretted not listening to Maya’s advice earlier. The path was getting more and more difficult to navigate, with mud making it easy to slip and fall. Some students were on the verge of crying, and the group’s morale was at an all-time low. Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course. She quickly scanned the area around them and spotted a large overhanging rock not far away. Shouting to get everyone’s attention, she said, “Follow me! We can take shelter under that rock.” Mr. Brown immediately agreed and helped the students move towards the rock. Once they were all safely under the overhang, they were out of the direct rain. Maya then suggested they use some dry leaves and twigs they could find nearby to start a small fire to keep warm. The students, now full of hope, started collecting the materials. With a little effort, they managed to start a fire, and the warm glow gradually lifted their spirits. They waited for the storm to pass, grateful for Maya’s quick thinking and knowledge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次徒步旅行展开，一群高中生在老师带领下进山，到岔路时多数人不顾Maya提醒选去瀑布的路，快到目的地时突降暴雨，情况失控。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“平时无所畏惧的亚历克斯，现在开始感到有点害怕了。”可知，第一段可描写恶劣的天气状况让大家陷入困境，亚历克斯后悔没听玛雅的建议，大家士气低落。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，玛雅想起了她在生存课程中学到的一些东西。”可知，第二段可描写玛雅利用所学知识找到避雨处，还提议生火取暖，大家重新燃起希望。 2. 续写线索：亚历克斯害怕——情况艰难——玛雅想起办法——找到避雨处——生火取暖 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①遮挡：shield/shelter ②建议：suggest/advise ③收集：collect/gather 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiously/nervously ②充满希望：full of hope/hopeful ③感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] His classmates were also looking around anxiously, their excited expressions replaced by worry.(运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语) [高分句型2] Alex’s teeth chattered as he thought about the possible consequences of getting stuck in this storm.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型3] Once they were all safely under the overhang, they were out of the direct rain.(运用了从属连词once引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 定远育才学校2025-2026学年高二(下)期中试卷 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But, there are foods that just shouldn’t be seen near an air fryer. Before cooking with your air fryer, see which foods won’t work — even though they may be tempting to throw in there. Fresh greens Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air. When choosing vegetables to cook in the air fryer, make sure they hold some weight, like broccoli or zucchini. Kale chips may also be successful if coated in enough oil to weigh them down. Whole roasts The apparent issue with whole roasts is whether or not it will even fit properly into an air fryer basket, but even if it does fit, it’s best to just stick to the regular oven. The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding. Cheese Who wouldn’t love to instantly make some fried cheese to snack on? Since the air fryer isn’t truly “frying” the food, placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up. Battered foods Unless the food is pre-fried and frozen, you’ll want to avoid placing wet batter in the air fryer. Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil, meaning the food won’t have that crunchy shell. 1. Why is it not recommended to cook fresh leafy greens like spinach in an air fryer? A. They don’t hold enough weight. B. They cook unevenly and burn easily. C. They aren’t coated in oil to weigh them down. D. They require much preparation time to be successful. 2. What is the main problem with cooking whole roasts in an air fryer? A. The size of them makes them hard to fit. B. The skin of them usually becomes too dry. C. No proper circulation of hot air causes uneven cooking. D. It takes much longer to cook them than in a regular oven. 3. What do cheese and battered foods have in common when using an air fryer? A. They must be coated for preparation. B. They should be frozen before cooking. C. They can be cooked directly without issues. D. They’ll cause problems without proper handling. B Georgia, who works for a popular fashion store in the UK named Bows Boutique, left her purse at a gas station after her company party in early December. She was heartbroken, but thinking someone must have taken it away, she gave up the idea of going back to look for it and didn’t phone the station to ask about it. But her tears quickly dried when an off-duty firefighter named Nyma showed up at her door. A ring camera caught Georgia and Nyma’s exchange, and the owner of Bows Boutique posted the video on the store’s Instagram page. In it, Nyma rang her doorbell and Georgia answered it using a phone app. Nyma explained where he found the lost purse and said he decided to drive straight to her house so she wouldn’t have to experience an extra moment of panic. Georgia was moved to tears and kept offering to send Nyma money for his good deed, but he refused. He simply asked her to pay it forward, and explained that it was no trouble for him though Georgia knew he needed to drive hours to her house. Because she wasn’t home at the time, he left the purse in an empty garbage bag and left. The owner and Georgia were so touched by the gesture, and they started a search for the mystery man so they could give him a proper “thank you”. It didn’t take long to find him. They invited him to the store for an official meet—and he went. “He is such a kind man,” reads another post. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet him. The video has got millions of views and we hope he will be a positive influence on many.” 4. Why did Georgia give up looking for her purse? A. She thought it was too far to go back to the gas station. B. She believed someone would send it to her. C. She was too busy with work to look for it. D. She believed someone had already taken it. 5. How did Nyma most likely find Georgia’s address? A. By checking the gas station’s records. B. Through information in her purse. C. By using the store’s Instagram page. D. By contacting the. police. 6. What did Nyma ask Georgia to do? A. Give him some money as a reward. B. Drive to his house to get the purse. C. Do something good for others. D. Post the story on Instagram. 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Georgia will start a volunteer program. B. The video on Instagram made Nyma famous. C. Nyma is a rich man and doesn’t need the money. D. The owner of Bows Boutique will give Nyma a big present. C After eight years of planning and a cost of more than £39 million, a Swedish church, Kyrka, began a slow 5km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of Europe’s biggest underground mine (矿区). This huge wooden Swedish Protestant church, built in 1912, is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days, half a kilometre per hour. The move is part of a huge multi-decade project to relocate the whole Arctic town as the iron mine weakens the ground, threatening the survival of the town. Designed by Gustaf Wickman, the church is one of Sweden’s most-loved older buildings. More than 10,000 people, including the Swedish king, Carl XVI Gustaf, are expected to line the streets to see the move of the red wooden building. The expansion has attracted criticism, including from the Sami community, who fear that the division of the land would make reindeer herding (放牧驯鹿) hard, threatening the local biodiversity. Karin K Niia, a reindeer owner, warned the move was “a big show” to distract from the destruction mining causes to the town and its native culture. She accused the company of “land-grabbing” the grassland territory needed to support Sami culture. Fredriksson, who hosted a podcast on local news, was happy, at least, that the church had been saved, and hadn’t ended up “as woodchips.” The mining company said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought “constructive solutions” when mining affected reindeer herding; its CEO, Jan Moström, said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to remain, the city center must move. The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year, but the city’s relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035. 8. What do we know about the church? A. Its relocation lasts over eight years. B. It travels across the entire Arctic town. C. It is to be moved as a whole to a new place. D. It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a big show” suggest about the move? A. It’s a technical exhibition. B. It’s a misleading public display. C. It’s a huge advance towards biodiversity. D. It’s an enormous threat to Sami community. 10. What can be inferred about company’s statement? A. It viewed the move as unavoidable. B. It expected a rise in reindeer. C. It focused more on cultural heritage. D. It regretted the project’s high expense. 11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Mine expansion impacts Sami culture B. Herding forces an Arctic Town to relocate C. Locals save Sweden’s most-loved church D. A historic church moves for mine expansion D As adults, fear is something we feel we have to carry alone, afraid to share it because it might make us seem weak. This is especially true for business leaders. Fear can be perceived as a lack of belief. But the truth is, trying something new and pushing beyond the familiar is always going to be scary. Launching a startup, developing a new product, or stepping into a new market means navigating the unknown. No matter how much we plan, there’s always uncertainty. And that uncertainty brings fear—whether it’s the fear of failing, being judged, or facing rejection. Treat fear as a built-in Survival Guide. When you face something uncertain or threatening, your brain’s amygdala (杏仁核) kicks into gear, cueing reactions that prepare you to either fight or flight. In addition to fast-acting neurotransmitters (神经递质), your brain also uses neuropeptides (神经肽), which act more slowly but help adjust your fear response, making sure you stay aware of potential risks. Fear itself is not bad. It’s a natural response designed to protect you. In fact, as one of our oldest survival mechanisms, it can even be healthy. It can help avoid casual decisions, heighten our awareness, and fuel our motivation. Yet, we crush it, leading to its worst effects—overthinking, poor communication, and missed opportunities because we shy away from risks. As a result, we often get all of its drawbacks without any of its benefits: work is slower because of analysis paralysis (瘫痪); communication is unproductive because we hold back information; innovation is limited because we avoid taking any risks. What if instead we embraced fear as a natural part of life, one that’s full of curiosity, experimentation, and creativity? Making friends with fear means recognizing that it’s not something to avoid or ignore, but rather something to treat as helpful information. When you stop running from fear and start working with it, amazing things can happen. By feeling your fear, examining its source, speaking out your needs, and reflecting on the experience, you can transform this natural response into a powerful driver of personal and professional progress. 12. What do the underlined words “kick into gear” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Lose control. B. Start working. C. Start fighting. D. Come into effect. 13. What can we learn about “neuropeptides”? A. They are less useful than the neurotransmitters. B. They help you prepare yourself in face of fear. C. They help improve your response towards fear. D. They can make sure you avoid potential risks. 14. Which of the following statements does the author agree with? A. Fear should be crushed and avoided. B. Fear can also be taken advantage of. C.

Among them were Alex, a curious and adventurous boy, and his reserved but intelligent classmate, Maya. Everyone was in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked along the well-marked trail. As they hiked deeper into the mountains, the beautiful scenery around them was breathtaking. Lush green trees towered above, and colorful wildflowers dotted the path. The students stopped occasionally to take pictures, trying to capture the beauty of nature. Alex, always eager to explore, would run ahead a little, then wait impatiently for the rest of the group. After a few hours of hiking, they reached a fork in the trail. Mr. Brown, checking the map, told the students that the left path would lead them to a magnificent waterfall, while the right one would take them back to the starting point. Most of the students voted to go left and see the waterfall. However, Maya, who had been quietly observing the weather, noticed some dark clouds gathering in the distance. She worried that a storm might be approaching and suggested they return. But her voice was drowned out by the excited chatter of her classmates, and they decided to continue on the left path. As they got closer to the waterfall, the sound of rushing water grew louder. Just as they were about to reach their destination, large raindrops began to fall. In no time, it turned into a heavy downpour. The path, which was muddy to begin with, became slippery and dangerous. The students huddled together, not knowing what to do next. Mr. Brown tried to keep everyone calm, but the situation was getting out of control. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alex, who was usually so fearless, now started to feel a bit scared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
