Now 74, the Spanish grandmother is still unable to read or write. Ales loves to call her friends and family. Though she managed well enough, she is still unable to read people’s names in her contact book. Thankfully, she has a good grandson who developed a creative method to deal with her problem and kept it over many years. Since Pedro Ortega was 11 years old, he has been drawing small pictures that correspond (符合) with his grandmother’s contact phone numbers. This way, she can identify the number based on its drawing, rather than its name. Ortega has been adding new drawings to his grandmother’s phone book for the last 20 years. “Every time I’m back home, I sit down and add new drawings for her,” the 31-year-old said. “It has become something special between the two of us.” While there may be obvious drawings to correspond with more common numbers, such as the hospital or the doctor, Ortega has even found a way to identify his grandmother’s personal connections, too. Whenever they sit down to write down the phone number of a friend, Ales picks an object that reminds her of the person she knows, such as a sunflower. “On every page and for every number, I would draw a picture that she felt would identify the person she wanted to call,” Ortega told the news station. “It was something we thought of together,” he added. “She says something distinctive about every person and I draw it out for her. It’s a system we’ve had for twenty years.” Ortega recently published photos of his artworks on social media where they have been shared thousands of times by people praising his work of love. 4. What is the problem with Encarna Ales? A. She’s not really good at drawing. B. She doesn’t get along with her friends. C. She forgets some of her friends’ names. D. She cannot read the names in the phone book. 5. How does Ortega help his grandmother? A. He teaches her to read and write names. B. He draws pictures connected with phone numbers C. He guides her to draw pictures based on numbers. D. He helps her remember phone numbers. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ortega? A. Active and hard-working. B. Smart and confident. C. Creative and caring. D. Responsible and honest. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Creativity B. Grandma’s Contact Book C. Nothing Is Impossible D. Ortega’s Gift to Grandma 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一位孙子为了帮助不识字的奶奶识别通讯录中的联系人，坚持二十年为奶奶绘制对应联系人的小图画的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Though she managed well enough, she is still unable to read people’s names in her contact book. (尽管她处理得足够好，但她仍然无法读懂通讯录中人们的名字。)”可知，Encarna Ales的问题是她无法读懂通讯录中的名字。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since Pedro Ortega was 11 years old, he has been drawing small pictures that correspond with his grandmother’s contact phone numbers. (自从Pedro Ortega 11岁起，他就一直在画与他的奶奶联系人电话号码相对应的小图画。)”可知，Ortega通过绘制与电话号码相关联的图画来帮助奶奶。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since Pedro Ortega was 11 years old, he has been drawing small pictures that correspond with his grandmother’s contact phone numbers. (自从Pedro Ortega 11岁起，他就一直在画与他的奶奶联系人电话号码相对应的小图画。)”以及“Ortega has been adding new drawings to his grandmother's phone book for the last 20 years. (Ortega在过去的20年里一直在为他奶奶的通讯录添加新的图画)”可知，Ortega想出用图画代替文字的方法，体现了他的创造性；坚持二十年帮助奶奶，体现了他的体贴关心。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第三段“Since Pedro Ortega was 11 years old, he has been drawing small pictures that correspond with his grandmother's contact phone numbers. (自从Pedro Ortega 11岁起，他就一直在画与他的奶奶联系人电话号码相对应的小图画。)”以及第六段“‘On every page and for every number, I would draw a picture that she felt would identify the person she wanted to call,’ Ortega told the news station.  (在每一页上，每一个号码，我都会画一幅她觉得能识别出她想打电话的人的图画，Ortega告诉新闻台。)”可知，全文围绕奶奶的通讯录展开，讲述了孙子为不识字的奶奶在通讯录上绘制图画的故事，因此“Grandma’s Contact Book”最能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 C When 16-year-old Li Ming struggled with math last year, he tried an AI tutoring (辅导) app. “It explains problems step by step, just like a real teacher,” he says. “Now I can finish my homework without asking my parents for help.” AI tutors are becoming popular in China’s schools. These apps use intelligent technology to understand students’ mistakes. For example, if a student often makes errors in math, the app will create special practice exercises. Unlike human teachers, AI tutors are available 24 / 7 and can adapt to each student’s learning speed. However, some teachers worry about this trend. “AI can’t replace human interaction,” says Ms. Zhang, an English teacher with 10 years’ experience. “Students need to learn how to communicate their ideas, not just get answers from a machine.” She adds that face-to-face discussions help develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills, which AI cannot provide. Experts believe the solution is to combine AI with traditional teaching. “AI is a tool, not a replacement,” says Professor Chen from Beijing Normal University. “Good teachers will use AI to check homework and find students’ weak points, then spend more time on creative activities in class.” For students like Li Ming, AI tutors have been a game-changer. “I used to hate math,” he says. “Now I feel confident. The app even gives me stars when I get answers right!” But he also agrees that AI can’t replace his teachers. “My math teacher still helps me understand difficult concepts that the app can’t explain clearly.” As AI technology develops, it will continue to change education. The key is to use it wisely — to help students learn better while keeping the human touch in classrooms. 8. What can AI tutoring apps do according to the text? A. Replace human teachers completely. B. Teach students critical thinking skills. C. Create personalized practice exercises. D. Give stars to students in real classrooms. 9. Why do some teachers worry about AI tutors? A. They often give wrong answers to students. B. They cannot explain difficult math problems. C. They make students spend less time on homework. D. They may reduce students’ face-to-face communication. 10. What does Professor Chen think about the use of AI in education? A. He doubts if AI can help students learn better. B. He thinks teachers should stop using AI tools. C. He supports combining AI with human teaching. D. He believes AI should replace traditional teaching. 11. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The advantages and limitations of AI tutors. B. The future development of AI in education. C. How AI tutors help students build confidence. D. Why students prefer AI tutors to human teachers. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是人工智能辅导应用（AI tutors）在中国教育领域的应用、影响及其与传统教学的关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, if a student often makes errors in math, the app will create special practice exercises. Unlike human teachers, AI tutors are available 24 / 7 and can adapt to each student’s learning speed.(例如，如果一个学生在数学方面经常出错，该应用程序就会生成专门的练习题。)”可知，人工智能辅导应用程序能创建个性化的练习题。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Students need to learn how to communicate their ideas, not just get answers from a machine.” She adds that face-to-face discussions help develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills, which AI cannot provide.(“学生们需要学会如何表达自己的想法，而不仅仅是从机器那里获取答案。”她还补充道，面对面的讨论有助于培养批判性思维能力，而这种能力是人工智能无法提供的。)”可知，有些教师对人工智能辅导老师感到担忧是因为它们可能会减少学生面对面的交流。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Experts believe the solution is to combine AI with traditional teaching. “AI is a tool, not a replacement,” says Professor Chen from Beijing Normal University. “Good teachers will use AI to check homework and find students’ weak points, then spend more time on creative activities in class.”(专家们认为，解决办法是将人工智能与传统教学相结合。北京师范大学的陈教授表示：“人工智能只是工具，并非取代教师的角色。优秀的教师会利用人工智能来批改作业并找出学生的薄弱环节，然后在课堂上花更多时间进行创新性的活动。”)”可知，陈教授对人工智能在教育中的应用的看法是支持将人工智能与人类教学相结合。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“For students like Li Ming, AI tutors have been a game-changer. “I used to hate math,” he says. “Now I feel confident. The app even gives me stars when I get answers right!” But he also agrees that AI can’t replace his teachers. “My math teacher still helps me understand difficult concepts that the app can’t explain clearly.”(对于像李明这样的学生来说，人工智能辅导老师起到了翻天覆地的作用。他说：“我过去讨厌数学。但现在我变得自信了。每当我答对题目时，这个应用程序还会给我星星奖励呢！”不过他也认同人工智能无法取代他的老师。“我的数学老师仍然帮助我理解那些应用程序无法清晰解释的难题。”)”可知，第五段主要讲的是人工智能辅导的应用优势和局限性。故选A。 D There are always two sides to a story. Unfortunately, when it comes to the history of Thanksgiving, generations of Americans have been taught a one-sided history in homes and schools. The mainstream cultural and historical story has been told by the white settlers who landed near Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1620. In this version of the Thanksgiving story, the holiday celebrates the peaceful, friendly meeting of English settlers and the Wampanoag tribe (部落) for three days of feasting and thanksgiving in 1621. This story paints a picture of courageous settlers braving the dangers of the New World and with the help of some friendly natives, finding a way to make a new life for themselves. Very few teachers get a chance to tell students about the mass killing of native tribes that took place in the years that followed. For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning (哀悼) and protest. Organised by the United American Indians of New England in 1970, the fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving) was recognised as the National Day of Mourning for Native Americans. While some Native Americans have chosen to reject the Thanksgiving holiday completely, many welcome the positive messages of the holiday without consideration of its origin. This is because the idea of giving thanks is central to Native Americans’ culture, and in this way, Thanksgiving is simply a chance to appreciate the good things in life, like family, community, and the riches of the land. Steven Peters, a Wampanoag tribe spokesman, was asked about his views on Thanksgiving and the fact that most Native Americans still gather to eat turkey and give thanks. “I think it’s great. My ancestors had four harvest festivals throughout the year. Gathering with family and giving thanks for all that we have is a good thing. But I ask that you take a moment on that day to remember what happened to my people and the history as it was and not what had been written in the history books.” 12. What can be learnt about the mainstream Thanksgiving story? A. It is a faithful reflection of the history. B. It mourns the suffering of the natives. C. It represents only one side of the story. D. It is about the real origin of Thanksgiving. 13. What does the underlined word “reject” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Refuse. B. Reflect. C. Promote. D. Celebrate. 14. Why do many Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving? A. They are misled by history books. B. They have adapted to modern life. C. The history has taught them to be grateful. D. The idea of giving thanks fits their culture. 15. What can we infer from Steven Peters’ words in Paragraph 7? A. He considers Thanksgiving a festival only for white settlers. B. He values gratitude and hopes people learn the real history. C. He suggests stopping Thanksgiving to honor his people. D. He believes history books tell the truth about Native Americans. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是感恩节历史的不同叙述视角，以及美国原住民对这一节日的复杂情感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are always two sides to a story. Unfortunately, when it comes to the history of Thanksgiving, generations of Americans have been taught a one-sided history in homes and schools.(一个故事总是有两面性。不幸的是，当涉及到感恩节的历史时，一代又一代的美国人在家庭和学校中被教导的是片面的历史。)”可知，主流的感恩节故事只代表了故事的一面。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“While some Native Americans have chosen to reject the Thanksgiving holiday completely, many welcome the positive messages of the holiday without consideration of its origin.(虽然有些美国原住民选择完全reject感恩节，但许多人欢迎这个节日的积极信息，而不考虑它的起源。)”可知，while表示对比，后半句说many welcome，那么前半句的reject应表示相反含义，即“拒绝”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“This is because the idea of giving thanks is central to Native Americans’ culture, and in this way, Thanksgiving is simply a chance to appreciate the good things in life, like family, community, and the riches of the land.(这是因为感恩的观念是美国原住民文化的核心，通过这种方式，感恩节只是一个欣赏生活中美好事物的机会，比如家庭、社区和土地的富饶。)”可知，许多美国原住民庆祝感恩节是因为感恩的观念符合他们的文化。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I think it’s great. My ancestors had four harvest festivals throughout the year. Gathering with family and giving thanks for all that we have is a good thing. But I ask that you take a moment on that day to remember what happened to my people and the history as it was and not what had been written in the history books.’ (‘我认为这很好。我的祖先一年中有四个丰收节。与家人团聚，为我们所拥有的一切感恩是一件好事。但我请求你们在那一天花一点时间记住我的人民所经历的事情，以及历史的本来面目，而不是历史书中所写的那样。’)”可知，他重视感恩的精神，同时希望人们了解真实的历史。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Carnival, a festival marked by merrymaking and parades, is celebrated throughout Brazil, but the biggest party is in Rio de Janeiro. ____16____ You may wish to participate in it when you witness thousands of people in costumes, dancing together, followed by lights, musical instruments and singing songs aloud with the help of a crowd of almost 100, 000 viewers sitting in the stands (看台) .

The mix of culture, art and fun attracts people. So, what are you waiting for?(把这一切放在一起，加上最兴奋和快乐的人，很容易看出为什么游行是狂欢节的中心。文化、艺术和娱乐的融合吸引着人们。那么，你还在等什么？)”可知，上文的反问句说明作者鼓励读者去参加狂欢节，故G选项“现在开始练习你的桑巴舞，为下一个狂欢节做准备”符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节；满分37.5分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C、D) 中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I found myself in a quiet cafe, listening to a soft piano sound from the corner.

They shared everything, from snacks to secrets, and especially their passion for photography. Ben had saved up every penny from his allowance for a whole year to buy a professional camera, which quickly became his most prized possession — he even kept it in a soft case and cleaned the lens (镜片) every single day. One weekend, Alex asked to borrow the camera for a school photography contest. Ben hesitated for a second, his fingers brushing the camera’s case softly, but then he smiled and handed it over, saying sincerely, “Please be careful. It’s my baby.” Excited beyond words, Alex took the camera on a hiking trip to a remote mountain, determined to get the perfect shot of a hidden waterfall at sunrise. The trail was damp (潮湿的) and muddy after the previous night’s rain. As he climbed a slippery rock to get a better shot, his foot suddenly slipped. He waved his arms and managed to grab a tree branch to save himself, but the camera swung wildly from his hand and crashed against a sharp stone. When he picked it up, his heart sank — the lens was completely broken. Panic set in instantly. Alex stood frozen on the rock, his hands trembling as he stared at the broken camera. He knew exactly how much this camera meant to Ben. It was more than just a camera; it was the fruit of a year’s worth of patience and hard work. Instead of gathering his courage to tell Ben the truth immediately, Alex chose to run away from the problem. He avoided Ben at school, didn’t answer any of his calls or text messages, and even skipped their usual lunch meetups at the cafeteria, where they used to sit together and talk about their latest photos. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Days turned into weeks, the secret made Alex feel worse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex walked to Ben’s house, holding the damaged camera in his hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Days turned into weeks, the secret made Alex feel worse. He couldn’t focus on his studies, and every time he saw Ben in the hallway, he ducked into the nearest classroom. He realized that his silence was likely hurting their friendship more than the accident ever could. The camera was just an object, expensive as it was, but Ben’s trust was irreplaceable. The weight of the secret was crushing him. He knew he had to face the consequences. He decided he couldn’t be a shadow anymore. Alex walked to Ben’s house, holding the damaged camera in his hands. When Ben opened the door, his expression changed from confusion to relief. “I thought you were angry with me! Why have you been ignoring me all this time?” he shouted. Alex held out the broken lens, tears stinging his eyes, and he explained everything — the hike, the fall, and his fear. To his surprise, Ben didn’t yell. He looked at the camera, then at Alex, and smiled gently. “Cameras can be fixed, Alex,” he said, patting Alex’s shoulder. “But I was worried I’d lost my best friend,” Alex explained. They spent the afternoon looking up repair shops, their bond stronger than before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以友谊为线索展开，讲述了Alex和Ben从小是最好的朋友，两人都热爱摄影。Ben攒了一年零花钱买的专业相机是他的心爱之物，他借给Alex参加学校摄影比赛。Alex在远足拍摄时不慎将相机镜头摔碎，因害怕愧疚而一直躲避Ben，内心备受煎熬，最终决定主动坦白并承担责任的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“日子一周周过去，这个秘密让Alex感觉越来越糟。”可知，第一段可描写Alex因隐瞒真相内心备受煎熬，意识到沉默更伤害友谊，最终下定决心面对Ben并坦白一切。 ②由第二段首句内容“Alex手里拿着损坏的相机，走向Ben的家。”可知，第二段可描写Alex向Ben坦诚失误，Ben并未生气，反而更在意友谊，两人和好如初的经过。 2.续写线索：内心煎熬——反思过错——决心坦白——登门道歉——说出真相——朋友谅解——情谊加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①躲避：duck into/avoid/keep away from ②解释：explain/tell the truth/make it clear ③轻拍：pat/tap/give a gentle touch 情绪类 ①迷茫：confusion /puzzled ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] The camera was just an object, expensive as it was, but Ben’s trust was irreplaceable.（运用了as引导让步状语从句的倒装结构） [高分句型2] When Ben opened the door, his expression changed from confusion to relief.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型3] Alex held out the broken lens, tears stinging his eyes, and he explained everything — the hike, the fall, and his fear.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第二学期期中教学质量自查 高一英语 (本试卷共四大部分，满分150分；考试用时120分钟) 第一部分 听力 (共两节；满分20分) 第一节 听力理解 (两段共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 共两小段，每段播放两遍。请根据各段播放内容及其相关小题，在5秒钟内从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 听第一段对话，回答第1-2题。 1.

B Encarna Ales was taken out of school when she was just 8 years old. Now 74, the Spanish grandmother is still unable to read or write. Ales loves to call her friends and family. Though she managed well enough, she is still unable to read people’s names in her contact book. Thankfully, she has a good grandson who developed a creative method to deal with her problem and kept it over many years. Since Pedro Ortega was 11 years old, he has been drawing small pictures that correspond (符合) with his grandmother’s contact phone numbers. This way, she can identify the number based on its drawing, rather than its name. Ortega has been adding new drawings to his grandmother’s phone book for the last 20 years. “Every time I’m back home, I sit down and add new drawings for her,” the 31-year-old said. “It has become something special between the two of us.” While there may be obvious drawings to correspond with more common numbers, such as the hospital or the doctor, Ortega has even found a way to identify his grandmother’s personal connections, too. Whenever they sit down to write down the phone number of a friend, Ales picks an object that reminds her of the person she knows, such as a sunflower. “On every page and for every number, I would draw a picture that she felt would identify the person she wanted to call,” Ortega told the news station. “It was something we thought of together,” he added. “She says something distinctive about every person and I draw it out for her. It’s a system we’ve had for twenty years.” Ortega recently published photos of his artworks on social media where they have been shared thousands of times by people praising his work of love. 4. What is the problem with Encarna Ales? A. She’s not really good at drawing. B. She doesn’t get along with her friends. C. She forgets some of her friends’ names. D. She cannot read the names in the phone book. 5. How does Ortega help his grandmother? A. He teaches her to read and write names. B. He draws pictures connected with phone numbers C. He guides her to draw pictures based on numbers. D. He helps her remember phone numbers. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ortega? A. Active and hard-working. B. Smart and confident. C. Creative and caring. D. Responsible and honest. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Creativity B. Grandma’s Contact Book C. Nothing Is Impossible D. Ortega’s Gift to Grandma C When 16-year-old Li Ming struggled with math last year, he tried an AI tutoring (辅导) app. “It explains problems step by step, just like a real teacher,” he says. “Now I can finish my homework without asking my parents for help.” AI tutors are becoming popular in China’s schools. These apps use intelligent technology to understand students’ mistakes. For example, if a student often makes errors in math, the app will create special practice exercises. Unlike human teachers, AI tutors are available 24 / 7 and can adapt to each student’s learning speed. However, some teachers worry about this trend. “AI can’t replace human interaction,” says Ms. Zhang, an English teacher with 10 years’ experience. “Students need to learn how to communicate their ideas, not just get answers from a machine.” She adds that face-to-face discussions help develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills, which AI cannot provide. Experts believe the solution is to combine AI with traditional teaching. “AI is a tool, not a replacement,” says Professor Chen from Beijing Normal University. “Good teachers will use AI to check homework and find students’ weak points, then spend more time on creative activities in class.” For students like Li Ming, AI tutors have been a game-changer. “I used to hate math,” he says. “Now I feel confident. The app even gives me stars when I get answers right!” But he also agrees that AI can’t replace his teachers. “My math teacher still helps me understand difficult concepts that the app can’t explain clearly.” As AI technology develops, it will continue to change education. The key is to use it wisely — to help students learn better while keeping the human touch in classrooms. 8. What can AI tutoring apps do according to the text? A. Replace human teachers completely. B. Teach students critical thinking skills. C. Create personalized practice exercises. D. Give stars to students in real classrooms. 9. Why do some teachers worry about AI tutors? A. They often give wrong answers to students. B. They cannot explain difficult math problems. C. They make students spend less time on homework. D. They may reduce students’ face-to-face communication. 10. What does Professor Chen think about the use of AI in education? A. He doubts if AI can help students learn better. B. He thinks teachers should stop using AI tools. C. He supports combining AI with human teaching. D. He believes AI should replace traditional teaching. 11. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The advantages and limitations of AI tutors. B. The future development of AI in education. C. How AI tutors help students build confidence. D. Why students prefer AI tutors to human teachers. D There are always two sides to a story. Unfortunately, when it comes to the history of Thanksgiving, generations of Americans have been taught a one-sided history in homes and schools. The mainstream cultural and historical story has been told by the white settlers who landed near Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1620. In this version of the Thanksgiving story, the holiday celebrates the peaceful, friendly meeting of English settlers and the Wampanoag tribe (部落) for three days of feasting and thanksgiving in 1621. This story paints a picture of courageous settlers braving the dangers of the New World and with the help of some friendly natives, finding a way to make a new life for themselves. Very few teachers get a chance to tell students about the mass killing of native tribes that took place in the years that followed. For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning (哀悼) and protest. Organised by the United American Indians of New England in 1970, the fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving) was recognised as the National Day of Mourning for Native Americans. While some Native Americans have chosen to reject the Thanksgiving holiday completely, many welcome the positive messages of the holiday without consideration of its origin. This is because the idea of giving thanks is central to Native Americans’ culture, and in this way, Thanksgiving is simply a chance to appreciate the good things in life, like family, community, and the riches of the land. Steven Peters, a Wampanoag tribe spokesman, was asked about his views on Thanksgiving and the fact that most Native Americans still gather to eat turkey and give thanks. “I think it’s great. My ancestors had four harvest festivals throughout the year. Gathering with family and giving thanks for all that we have is a good thing. But I ask that you take a moment on that day to remember what happened to my people and the history as it was and not what had been written in the history books.” 12. What can be learnt about the mainstream Thanksgiving story? A. It is a faithful reflection of the history. B. It mourns the suffering of the natives. C. It represents only one side of the story. D. It is about the real origin of Thanksgiving. 13. What does the underlined word “reject” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Refuse. B. Reflect. C. Promote. D. Celebrate. 14. Why do many Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving? A. They are misled by history books. B. They have adapted to modern life. C. The history has taught them to be grateful. D. The idea of giving thanks fits their culture. 15. What can we infer from Steven Peters’ words in Paragraph 7? A. He considers Thanksgiving a festival only for white settlers. B. He values gratitude and hopes people learn the real history. C. He suggests stopping Thanksgiving to honor his people. D. He believes history books tell the truth about Native Americans. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Carnival, a festival marked by merrymaking and parades, is celebrated throughout Brazil, but the biggest party is in Rio de Janeiro. ____16____ You may wish to participate in it when you witness thousands of people in costumes, dancing together, followed by lights, musical instruments and singing songs aloud with the help of a crowd of almost 100, 000 viewers sitting in the stands (看台) .

They shared everything, from snacks to secrets, and especially their passion for photography. Ben had saved up every penny from his allowance for a whole year to buy a professional camera, which quickly became his most prized possession — he even kept it in a soft case and cleaned the lens (镜片) every single day. One weekend, Alex asked to borrow the camera for a school photography contest. Ben hesitated for a second, his fingers brushing the camera’s case softly, but then he smiled and handed it over, saying sincerely, “Please be careful. It’s my baby.” Excited beyond words, Alex took the camera on a hiking trip to a remote mountain, determined to get the perfect shot of a hidden waterfall at sunrise. The trail was damp (潮湿的) and muddy after the previous night’s rain. As he climbed a slippery rock to get a better shot, his foot suddenly slipped. He waved his arms and managed to grab a tree branch to save himself, but the camera swung wildly from his hand and crashed against a sharp stone. When he picked it up, his heart sank — the lens was completely broken. Panic set in instantly. Alex stood frozen on the rock, his hands trembling as he stared at the broken camera. He knew exactly how much this camera meant to Ben. It was more than just a camera; it was the fruit of a year’s worth of patience and hard work. Instead of gathering his courage to tell Ben the truth immediately, Alex chose to run away from the problem. He avoided Ben at school, didn’t answer any of his calls or text messages, and even skipped their usual lunch meetups at the cafeteria, where they used to sit together and talk about their latest photos. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Days turned into weeks, the secret made Alex feel worse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex walked to Ben’s house, holding the damaged camera in his hands. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
