Overtime is charged at 1.5x the hourly rate and billed by the hour.(需提前至少1小时预订，单次使用最长8小时。超时部分按每小时费率的1.5倍收费，按小时计费。)”可知，7月属于旺季，电动自行车每小时8美元，租用8.5小时，其中8小时按原价计费，0.5小时按超时计费（按1小时算，8×1.5=12美元），总费用为8×8+12=76美元。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Who Can Join?”部分中的“A comprehensive instruction book is provided on the official app for all first-time registrants.(官方应用程序为所有首次注册者提供一份全面的使用指南。)”可知，该项目的新用户会得到一份详细的使用指南。故选B项。 B Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa, or tell them gifts are on their way from Santa, but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr. Claus like how he makes it to all the houses in one night, as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth. I didn’t want that. You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive. The month of December is filled with movie and game nights, plays and concerts. These family traditions have added flavor to my kids’ entire childhood. Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 4. What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A. Appreciating Christmas lights. B. skipping visiting Santa Claus. C. Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D. Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 5. What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph3? A. Generosity comes from reality. B. Warmth counts to Christmas. C. St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D. Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 6. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A. To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B. To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C. To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D. To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Rigid but caring. B. Generous and devoted. C. Distant but unconventional. D. Thoughtful and insightful. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在圣诞节期间不让孩子相信圣诞老人神话，而是通过讲述圣尼古拉斯的故事和家庭共度时光来传递慷慨与感恩的节日精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. (与孩子们一起度过的圣诞节充满了温馨的传统：装饰圣诞树时听圣诞音乐，手捧热巧克力去看圣诞灯饰，带孩子们去拜访圣诞老人。嗯，删掉最后一项。至少对我的家人来说是这样)”可知，作者家庭的特别之处在于跳过了拜访圣诞老人这一项。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive.(你或许以为我们的圣诞节刻板拘谨，缺乏温暖与魔力。但我并不这样认为——这很大程度上得益于我教导孩子们如何看待圣诞节的方式。我没有给他们说圣诞老人是真的，而是讲述了这个形象很可能源于圣尼古拉斯——一位对贫苦孩子充满善意与慷慨的真实人物。Netflix于2021年出品的电影《圣诞男孩》，是一部既能帮助孩子将圣诞传说与现实传统相联结，又能延续慷慨精神的佳作)”可推知，作者没和孩子们讨论圣诞老人是否真实，而是通过探讨圣诞老人的起源来传达圣诞老人的慷慨源于现实生活中的真实人物和精神，作者想向她的孩子们传达慷慨来自现实。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. (希望他们现在明白，是家人共度的时光，一起做特别的事情，创造了魔力，而我对他们的爱远不止一天——魔力、奇迹和敬畏可以随时与家人一起发生，尤其是当我们保持慷慨和感恩之心时)”可知，作者提到“圣诞节的魔力”是为了强调家人共度的时光才是圣诞节魅力的核心。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. (与孩子们一起度过的圣诞节充满了温馨的传统：装饰圣诞树时听圣诞音乐，手捧热巧克力去看圣诞灯饰，带孩子们去拜访圣诞老人。嗯，删掉最后一项。至少对我的家人来说是这样)”以及第三段中“Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. (我没有给他们说圣诞老人是真的，而是告诉他们圣诞老人很可能起源于圣尼古拉斯，一个对贫困儿童友善和慷慨的人)”和第四段中“Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic (希望他们现在明白，是家人共度的时光，一起做特别的事情，创造了魔力)”可知，作者深思熟虑地选择不让孩子相信圣诞老人神话，并通过讲述圣尼古拉斯的故事和创造家庭传统来传递节日的真正意义，这表明她是一位考虑周全且富有洞察力的母亲。故选D项。 C When danger approaches, animals seem to follow the ancient proverb: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in cooperative defense. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high-pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby. Cuckoos are brood parasites — they lay eggs in other birds’ nests, often pushing out the hosts’ own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks. According to co-lead author James Kennerley, this call works as the word for “cuckoo” and appears to be understood across species, offering clues about how language may have originated. Birds producing this alarm call often live in regions with high numbers of brood parasites that target multiple host species. Hearing the call, potential hosts react aggressively to drive the invaders away. To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents — to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own. “This indicates that sound helps communication between species, not only within one species,” explains Feeney. He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information. Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human. ” 8. How can animals of different species cooperate in defense? A. By communicating freely. B. By predicting danger in advance. C. By following the old routine. D. By making the same sound as signal. 9. Why do birds make “whining” calls to warn others of cuckoos? A. Because cuckoos are good at playing tricks. B. Because cuckoos steal eggs from hosts’ nests. C. Because cuckoos have a wide range of species. D. Because cuckoos make hosts care for their young. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Birds universally recognize alarm calls. B. Birds ignore recordings of alarm calls. C. Birds’ alarm calls function within species. D. Brood parasites target certain host species. 11. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 5? A. To show language is still evolving. B. To prove human language is unique. C. To link bird calls with language origin. D. To question the reliability of the study. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现动物在面临危险时会与其他物种合作防御，如鸟类会发出几乎相同的高音调“呜呜”叫声来警告附近有像杜鹃这样的敌人，不同地区的鸟类对这种警报声都有快速反应，这一现象还与语言起源相关。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high - pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby.(《自然·生态与进化》杂志上的一项研究报告称，四大洲的20多种鸟类会发出几乎相同的高音调“呜呜”叫声，以警告附近有像杜鹃这样的鸟类)”以及第四段“He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information.(他指出，虽然许多鸟类可能会对某些警报声做出反应，但那些生活在寄生鸟类丰富地区的鸟类已经调整了叫声，使其携带明确的威胁信息)”可知，不同物种的动物可以通过发出相同的声音作为信号来进行合作防御。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cuckoos are brood parasites— they lay eggs in other birds’nests, often pushing out the hosts’own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks.(杜鹃是巢寄生鸟类——它们在其他鸟类的巢中产卵，常常把宿主自己的蛋推出去，诱骗宿主鸟类养育它们的雏鸟)”可知，鸟类发出“呜呜”叫声警告杜鹃，是因为杜鹃会诱骗宿主鸟类照顾自己的幼鸟。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents— to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own.(为了进一步研究，威尔·费尼的团队向澳大利亚和中国的潜在宿主鸟类播放了这种最初来自其他大陆鸟类的警报叫声录音。他们发现，宿主对外国警报叫声的反应和对自己同类的警报叫声一样迅速)”可知，鸟类普遍能识别警报叫声。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human.”(早在1871年，查尔斯·达尔文就提出，口语可能是从对本能声音的模仿和修改演变而来的——例如，对疼痛的尖叫。费尼指出：“鸟类改变其固有叫声以用于新用途，这可能是语言发展的早期阶段，而这曾被认为是人类独有的”)”可知，作者提到达尔文是为了将鸟类叫声与语言起源联系起来。故选C项。 D Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”. What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 12. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics. 13. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic. 15. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others? C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(约翰总是把工作场所的小分歧变成激烈的冲突，描述它们就像恐怖电影中的情节转折。艾米丽在社交媒体上精心挑选每一张照片，将自己的生活呈现为一系列理想化的时刻。或者想想马克，他经常在团体环境中期望得到特殊待遇，当没有得到优先权时，他会表现出明显的失望。这样做，他们往往很难真正理解或同情周围人的经历。这种行为是通常所说的“主角综合征”的典型特征。)”可知，作者通过举例（约翰、艾米丽和马克的行为）来阐释“主角综合征”这一概念。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.(此外，自恋倾向等性格特征，或缺乏安全感、自卑等情感困扰，以及以自我为中心的家庭教养方式，都会增加形成这种心态的可能性)”可推知，被过度保护的、以自我为中心的孩子最有可能患上主角综合征。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions.(然而，它的潜在缺点往往超过了这些好处：它导致过度的自我中心，削弱了人际间的同理心，并通过将他人简化为仅仅是‘配角’而不是互动中的平等者来破坏真正的关系。)”可推知，作者对主角综合征持批判态度。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”.(这种行为是通常所说的‘主角综合征’的典型特征)”可推知，文章主要讲述了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法，可知，A选项“Star of Your Own Story?(你自己的故事中的明星？)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2.5分，共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。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. ____19____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays. F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving. G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍作者改掉晨起刷手机的坏习惯，连续五个工作日尝试晨间远离手机，先后用读书、冷水澡、跑步、写日记、品读旧信件开启清晨，最终摆脱了刷屏带来的焦虑，体会到无手机的清晨能收获安宁与自在。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Doomscrolling had become my morning routine.(刷屏成瘾已经成了我早上的固定习惯。)”以及后文“I started each day tense and anxious.(我每天一早醒来就紧张焦虑。)”可知，前文讲述刷手机的习惯，后文讲述负面后果，空处转折，点明自己察觉到刷手机带来的负担；选项A“But lately, I noticed the weight it carried.(但近来，我察觉到了它带来的沉重负担。)”贴合上下文逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据前文“But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier.(可读了几页书后，我切实放松下来，不同于漫无目的地刷屏带来的空虚，内心安稳踏实。)”以及后文“That had never happened before.(这种情况从前从未有过。)”可知，前文讲述读书给作者带来了安宁与自在，空处应承接读书带来的良好状态；选项C“I even finished a chapter before checking the time.(我甚至在看时间之前就看完了一整章。)”衔接前后文意。 【18题详解】 根据前文“The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective.(第二天我尝试冷水浴，想用这种方式彻底清醒，冷水带来的刺激效果出奇地好。)”可知，空前说明作者尝试冷水浴使自己清醒，空处承接洗完冷水澡后的结果；选项B“This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.(之后我的头脑变得格外清醒。)”符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据后文“On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper.(周四我伏案写日记，不用顾及旁人，只是把思绪落在纸上。) ”及“On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface.(周五我重读旧信件，任由回忆涌上心头。)” 可知，周四、周五的活动都是静心思索；选项F“Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving.(有些清晨，我静心思考的时间远比活动的时间多。)”总领本段。 【20题详解】 根据前文“By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened.(一周结束时，想要查看手机的欲望已经变淡。)”以及后文“Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible.(这些远离手机的清晨证明我们可以拥有宁静的晨起时光。)”可知，空前说明想要查看手机的欲望变淡，空后说明远离手机带来宁静的时光，空处应承接欲望减弱带来的改变；选项D“That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.(这也就意味着我醒来后不再下意识去拿手机。)”衔接通顺。 第II部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的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。 A month ago today I stood there: 90 degrees south, the top of the bottom of the world.

The Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more ____37____ (artistic) planned than nature, but still a bit of nature itself, with trees, creeks, and flowers. ____38____ (dot) in this natural landscape are the human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so perfectly belonging to the scenery as to become ____39____ whole with it. The Chinese garden ____40____ (feature) studied disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues as if in battle formation. No Chinese house allows an outsider to look through the iron gate, for that would be against the principle of concealment (隐蔽). ____41____ (face) the gate, we see a small courtyard giving no idea of the expansiveness of space inside, and leading one step by step into ____42____ (new) views, in a continual series of surprises and astonishments. ____43____ wooden framework bearing most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not restricted to certain locations. The essential idea of interior decoration is the beauty of ____44____ (simple). Home designs are not something fancy we buy from a first-class firm. ____45____ distinguishes a home from a public building is the personal touch that we give it. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists that living at home can become an art and a pleasure. 【答案】36. to suit 37. artistically 38. Dotted 39. a 40. features 41. Facing 42. newer 43. With 44. simplicity##simpleness 45. What 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了英文单词“garden”与中国“园”概念的差异，阐述了中国园林的特点，包括自然景观与人文建筑的融合、布局的独特性、建筑结构的灵活性以及室内装饰注重简约之美等，强调了家的艺术性和愉悦感源于闲适的精神和悉心的照料。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：英文单词“garden”给人一种对中国“园”完全错误的理解，因为“garden”让人联想到草坪和各种各样的鲜花，整体过于呆板、整洁，不适合中国人的口味。“too...to...”是固定结构，表示“太……而不能……”，所以此处用动词不定式to suit。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：中国的“园”首先让人联想到的是一片野外的景观，也许比自然景观安排得更合理、更具艺术性，但仍然是自然的一部分，有树木、小溪和鲜花。此处修饰动词planned，要用副词artistically，表示“有艺术性地”。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：点缀在这片自然景观中的是亭台楼阁、长廊等人文建筑，它们与风景完美融合，浑然一体。本句已有谓语are，dot在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语the human structures是动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式dotted，句首单词首字母大写。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：点缀在这片自然景观中的是亭台楼阁、长廊等人文建筑，它们与风景完美融合，浑然一体。whole是可数名词单数，此处表示泛指，且发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：中国园林的特点是精心营造的杂乱无章。feature在句中作谓语，句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语The Chinese garden是单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式features。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：面对大门，我们看到一个不大的庭院，让人无法想象里面空间的广阔，它引领人们一步一步地进入更新奇的景观，给人带来一连串的惊喜和惊叹。本句已有谓语see，face在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语we是主谓关系，所以用现在分词形式facing，句首单词首字母大写。 【42题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：面对大门，我们看到一个不大的庭院，让人无法想象里面空间的广阔，它引领人们一步一步地进入更新奇的景观，给人带来一连串的惊喜和惊叹。根据语境可知，此处表示“更新奇的景观”，用形容词比较级newer。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：木制框架承担了房屋的大部分重量，窗户、门和墙壁不受特定位置的限制。“with+名词+动词-ing形式”的复合结构，在句中作状语，表示伴随情况，句首单词首字母大写。故填With。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：室内装饰的基本理念是简约之美。此处作介词of的宾语，要用名词simplicity/simpleness，表示“简约”。 【45题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：家与公共建筑的区别在于我们赋予它的个人特色。分析句子结构可知，is前面是主语从句，从句缺少主语，指物，所以用连接代词what引导，句首单词首字母大写。 第III部分 基础知识考察（满分27分） 请用教材选择性必须三Unit 4, Unit 5，选择性必修四Unit 1所学词汇及短语填空。 第一节 单词填空（每小题1分，共15分） 46-50请根据括号中的中文提示，填入单词的适当形式。 46.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. With a lump in my throat, I explained how much I loved poetry and that I had never even considered plagiarizing. Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke. When I finished, he smiled gently and reassured me that it was okay to feel sad, “Sharing your creativity is a brave thing to do, Linda,” he said warmly. “Even if it didn’t go as planned, your courage is admirable. Remember, talent like yours is a gift. Trust in your own abilities and let your work speak for itself.” His words comforted me, giving me a sense of affirmation I desperately needed in that moment of doubt and frustration. Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. Mrs. Baker looked up as I entered, her expression now softened with understanding. Taking a deep breath, I assured everyone the poem was indeed my own creation and explained how I had crafted the poem about my father with love and care, “I’d like to recite it again,” I said with determination. This time, I recited the poem slowly and clearly, letting the emotions behind the words flow naturally. As I finished, there was a moment of silence before applause broke out, genuine and warm. “Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for sharing that,” Mrs. Baker said sincerely, “Your poem is really touching.” The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了作者在新学校爱迪生中学首次参加诗歌节时，因为紧张而背诵了自己为父亲写的原创诗歌，却被老师误解为剽窃。尽管作者试图解释，但老师仍要求她先出去冷静一下，之后再进行讨论。正在作者不知所措时，乔丹先生走过来问他发生了什么事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我几乎流下了眼泪，把整个故事都讲了出来。”可知，本段可描写作者因误会而伤心，乔丹老师安慰并肯定其才华，鼓励其自信。 ②由第二段首句“受到他的启发，我鼓起勇气回到教室。”可知，本段可描写作者鼓起勇气再次朗诵原创诗歌，赢得师生掌声与认可，消除误会，倍感自豪。 2.续写线索：伤心落泪——遇到Mr. Jordan——询问原因——得到鼓励——鼓励自信——回到教室——再次创作——得到认可——消除误会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①温柔地笑了：smile gently/beamed mildly ②保证：assure/guarante ③爆发：break out/burst fort 情绪类 ①值得赞赏的：admirable/respectable ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年广州市第六中学高二下学期期中考试英语试题 本试卷共10页，满分150分（卷面书写分3分），考试时间120分钟。 第I部分 阅读（满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Smart Moves for a Connected Community Shared mobility is widely recognized as a key contributor to sustainable urban development, offering a greener alternative to people’s travel.

B Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa, or tell them gifts are on their way from Santa, but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr. Claus like how he makes it to all the houses in one night, as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth. I didn’t want that. You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive. The month of December is filled with movie and game nights, plays and concerts. These family traditions have added flavor to my kids’ entire childhood. Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 4. What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A. Appreciating Christmas lights. B. skipping visiting Santa Claus. C. Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D. Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 5. What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph3? A. Generosity comes from reality. B. Warmth counts to Christmas. C. St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D. Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 6. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A. To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B. To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C. To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D. To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Rigid but caring. B. Generous and devoted. C. Distant but unconventional. D. Thoughtful and insightful. C When danger approaches, animals seem to follow the ancient proverb: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in cooperative defense. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high-pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby. Cuckoos are brood parasites — they lay eggs in other birds’ nests, often pushing out the hosts’ own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks. According to co-lead author James Kennerley, this call works as the word for “cuckoo” and appears to be understood across species, offering clues about how language may have originated. Birds producing this alarm call often live in regions with high numbers of brood parasites that target multiple host species. Hearing the call, potential hosts react aggressively to drive the invaders away. To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents — to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own. “This indicates that sound helps communication between species, not only within one species,” explains Feeney. He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information. Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human. ” 8. How can animals of different species cooperate in defense? A. By communicating freely. B. By predicting danger in advance. C. By following the old routine. D. By making the same sound as signal. 9. Why do birds make “whining” calls to warn others of cuckoos? A. Because cuckoos are good at playing tricks. B. Because cuckoos steal eggs from hosts’ nests. C. Because cuckoos have a wide range of species. D. Because cuckoos make hosts care for their young. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Birds universally recognize alarm calls. B. Birds ignore recordings of alarm calls. C. Birds’ alarm calls function within species. D. Brood parasites target certain host species. 11. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 5? A. To show language is still evolving. B. To prove human language is unique. C. To link bird calls with language origin. D. To question the reliability of the study. D Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”. What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 12. How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics. 13. Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A. Students absorbed in social media. B. Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C. People struggling with physical disabilities. D. Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Optimistic. 15. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Star of Your Own Story? B. To Focus on Yourself or Others? C. Acting in the Way You Wish? D. Right to Be the Main Character? 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2.5分，共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。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud.

On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays. F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving. G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 第II部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的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。 A month ago today I stood there: 90 degrees south, the top of the bottom of the world.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
