During this special time, families get reunited, enjoy a big dinner together, and children receive lucky money.

After all, they are important to our culture and remind us of who we are.

She had done it! She had faced her fear and delivered a powerful message to herself and others. What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. The judges deliberated for a few moments before announcing the winners. When they called out Mia’s name as the first-place winner, she could hardly believe her ears.

How about taking a short break every hour? 2. C 【原文】W: Do you ever dress up your cat? M: I tried once, but she didn’t like it and just got out of the clothing. W: That’s quite common.

I’ll order it from a new restaurant across town. M: It’ll take too long to deliver. Calling the one down the street might be faster. 4. B 【原文】W: You’re here early. Our meeting won’t start for another ten minutes. M: In German culture, being on time is highly valued. W: I heard that people in Switzerland like being early too. However, most Spanish people arrive right on time or even a few minutes late 5. A 【原文】W: That was a tough workout! But attending a one-on-one exercise class is much better than doing my boring running. M: Now do some simple moves to relax your body. This will also help you feel less tired. 6. B 7. C 【原文】M: Have you heard of an app called WeChat? Well, it’s finally coming to Europe W: I know some friends who have used it while traveling in China. But I first heard about it from a newspaper. M: It’s a convenient tool, which can send money to others and pay for products. W: It might become popular once it spreads. M: I agree. I don’t mind using credit cards for shopping and paying bills. But I’d love an easier way to send money between friends. 8. A 9. B 【原文】W: Hey, my family is going to a celebration tonight. Want to come? M: I love your family’s cultural events. Will it be like that wedding party or baby shower we went to before? W: No. It’s a traditional festival called the Day of the Dead. We wear special clothes to show respect to our loved ones who have passed away. We believe that death is not the end. It allows us to be positive and strengthens the ties between family members. M: Cool. Count me in Now I must run to class. Let’s meet at the parking lot after school. 10. C 11. B 12. B 【原文】M: I’m a bit down lately. My students have difficulty in writing. W: What writing tasks do you give? M: Mainly research papers and summaries of short books. That’s what our school’s head teacher expects from us. W: But writing is much more than that. Try letting students do different things, like interviewing local heroes, and writing poems. M: Will that help them get better at writing? W: Sure. Focus on helping your students find a style they love. It’ll make a big difference once they fall in love with writing. I’d suggest offering several choices and letting them join groups based on their writing tasks. M: Great idea. Having them work together could help them encourage each other! I’ll try that. 13. C 14. B 15. A 16. C 【原文】W: I’ve just finished organizing our Western paintings for tomorrow’s tour. M: Great. Traditional Mexican silver brought in big crowds last week. And earlier today, people enjoyed the Chinese writing art show. I’m confident it’ll be another success. W: Definitely. Our East Meets West art museum isn’t just about telling the rich history of art traditions, or showing the unique designs by different skilled people. What we’re trying to do is to show all kinds of art from around the world. M: Great point. Should we bring the group together in the showroom at 8:30 tomorrow? W: I think half an hour earlier would be better. And I recommend giving them an hour to share their opinions on their favorite artworks. That will be a good start. M: OK. We’ll finally show the group that it’s not just about seeing different styles of works but understanding how art connects cultures. 17. B 18. C 19. C 20. A 【原文】 M: Hey, everyone! Dr. Jones here. And I’m speaking today to present some tips from my new book. As a former professional athlete, I was always interested in the “mental game” of sports. My basketball coach used to say that performance is mainly about 85% mental factors and only 15% physical ones. So, after an accident that ended my playing days, I started studying the mind and I’ve found some helpful suggestions. First, did you know that smiling can make you feel better? It’s not just about looking friendly. In fact, this simple act can improve your mental health. Another idea is to practice imagining an activity before doing it. Try to feel the success of finishing it perfectly. Then, you’ll be more likely to succeed in real life. But my most preferred idea is the “growth thinking style”. It’s about believing in yourself no matter how hard the situation is. Count on the power of “yet”. You might not be great at something yet, but with hard work, you will be! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $铜川市一中2025-2026学年度第二学期高一年级（2028届)期中考试 英语答题卡 准考证号 姓名： 注意事项 班级： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或 考场： 签字笔填写学校、班级、姓名和座位号， 贴条码区域 答案使用2B铅笔填涂。 座次： 2.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破 缺考标记 正确填涂■ 错误填涂口口回 第1卷 选择题部分（请用2B铅笔填涂) A B 回 D A☐ B c D 11 A☐ B c D 16 A B c D N B D 17 89 C 13 A a D A B 可 B 1 c 因 B a 10 [A] B c D 15 A B a D A B c 哥 21 A□ B c D 26 888B 哥 36 A B D E G 284 回回回 四 2 回 回 37 回 G 950 34 岛 38 B 哥 E 25 B D A B c 3 A B [e] 回 40 A B c] D E P G 41 A B D 46 A B D D 岛 44 D A B [c] [c] 45 A 哥 哥 c] D A B c D 第川卷 非选择题部分（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 第三部分：语言运用 第二节语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 56. 57. 58 59 60. 61 62 63. 64. 65. 严禁在此处作答 英语第1页（共2页） 切割线 严禁在此处作答 第四部分：写作（满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Good morning,everyone!

No matter what you’re into, you’ll find a festival that fits — even the most particular tastes are covered. Meatopia This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops. The National Honey Show If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally. The Orange Sauce Festival Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here. The Ginger and Spice Festival If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, they specialize in baking gingerbread, but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot. 21. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common? A. Both of them have a long history. B. Both of them hold workshops. C. Both of them last the same amount of time. D. Both of them originated from London. 22. Which festival is most attractive to a competition lover? A. The Meatopia. B. The Orange Sauce Festival. C. The National Honey Show. D. The Ginger and Spice Festival. 23. What is the text probably taken from? A. A business report. B. A travel guidebook. C. A history textbook. D. A food advertisement. B China issued a document on deepening the reform and development of elderly care services. To support the growth of this sector, many young people are choosing to pursue careers in elderly care. Wang Hanlin, a “post-90s” professional, is one of them. After graduating from the Central Conservatory of Music in 2014, he decided to enter the elderly care sector. During his second year at university, Wang Hanlin was introduced to music therapy for the elderly in a clinical practice course. The moment he entered the elderly care community, he felt as though he had found his true calling: “I’m not sure why, this feeling was something I never experienced when working with other groups”. After that first clinical session, Wang Hanlin continued to explore the field and ultimately decided to dedicate himself to music therapy focused on the health and well-being of the elderly. Here, his role extends beyond therapy. Music therapists are not only “therapists” but also “social workers”. He is responsible for organizing bands, drills, and musical activities to foster engagement. When the lights are dimmed and sunlight pours in, Wang leads weekly relaxation classes to improve sleep health, which makes many elderly residents enter a deeply relaxed state, with some even falling asleep. Wang Hanlin also conducts one impactful intervention, which involves songwriting for dementia (痴呆) patients. When he learned that some residents were experiencing pain, he encouraged them to write their feelings of discomfort into a song, helping them release their emotions and channel their feelings into songwriting. For many seniors, his companionship and care hold a profound emotional value. Wang Hanlin said that choosing music therapy as a career requires a genuine desire. Without a true passion, one may not be suited for the field, and would miss out on the joy it brings: “Accompanying the elderly through their later years and forming deep connections with them provides invaluable energy, knowledge, and guidance — wealth that cannot be measured in monetary terms.” 24. What inspired Wang Hanlin to work in elderly care? A. His support for the government policy in elderly care. B. The high demand for medical professionals in elderly care. C. A clinical practice experience during his university years. D. A government document for promoting the elderly care industry. 25. What does Wang Hanlin do to intervene with dementia patients? A. He organizes band drills for their interaction. B. He keeps the patients company to take good care of them. C. He holds weekly relaxation classes to improve their sleep. D. He encourages songwriting for their emotional expression. 26. What does Wang Hanlin emphasize in pursuing a career in music therapy? A. Abundant energy. B. Sincere enthusiasm. C. Selfless dedication. D. Professional guidance. 27. Which of the following words best describe Wang Hanlin? A. Caring and creative. B. Organized and demanding. C. Patient and reserved. D. Ambitious and competitive. C World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep deprivation (不足) among teenagers has come into focus. Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework, extracurricular activities and the temptation to use electronic devices. A report issued by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight, reported Shanghai Observer. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep, according to USAFacts. Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. They need nine to ten hours of sleep each day to function at their best, said the US National Institutes of Health. This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults because of the deep mental, physical, social and emotional development that takes place during adolescence, said the website Sleep Foundation. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. It helps sharpen the mind and facilitates (促进) learning. Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports teenagers’ creative abilities. This link was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They often repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset”, which provides a special time for creativity. This phase happens when we are between being awake and asleep.

Apparently, using apps to track your own calories or fitness activities can have a similar effect. New research from scientists at University College London (UCL) suggests that fitness apps can actually become major demotivators. The researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 posts on the X platform. This data is particularly valuable because unlike traditional surveys, people tend to share honest, unfiltered (直白真实的) opinions online. The posts included feedback on popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal. Around 13,000 posts contained negative keywords the researchers tracked — and over half mentioned the calorie-counting app MyFitnessPal. At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet. It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes from food packages — the app will do the rest offering you guidance on what and when to eat. It sounds like working with a personal dietitian. However, many people are not necessarily that gratified by it. Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondaronek explained, “In these posts, we found a lot of blame and shame, with people feeling they were not doing as well as they should be. These emotional effects may end up harming people’s motivation and health.” MyFitnessPal is also pretty easy to “fool”, since it’s up to users whether to log or skip a meal. This creates a false sense that if something isn’t recorded in the app, it “didn’t happen”. Many admitted cheating (e.g., not recording a post-dinner cup of ice cream) to feel better, but this only led to more guilt. In some cases, people quit the app and their healthy habits altogether. It’s important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there’s no scientifically proven data on fitness apps’ benefits. However, their drawbacks are hard to ignore. This is a clear wake-up call for developers to consider their products’ unintended results. 32. What do we know about MyFitnessPal? A. It tracks health through exercise data. B. It provides personalized dietitian services. C. It automatically records every meal intake. D. It may cause the discontinuation of healthy practices. 33. What do the underlined words “gratified by” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Puzzled about. B. Satisfied with. C. Astonished at. D. Concerned about. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards fitness apps? A. Supportive. B. Convinced. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Fitness Apps: Unexpected Harms B. Fitness Apps: A Double-edged Sword C. Social Media: A Threat to Self-esteem and Health D. MyFitnessPal: A Convenient Tool for Diet Control 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The holiday season should be about joy, not financial stress. 36 Prices are up, budgets are tight, and the pressure to give meaningful gifts has not gone away. Luckily, modern psychology offers some good news. 37 Research shows that what matters most to a recipient is the perceived effort, which is the distinct feeling that you made this just for me. Thanks to the rise of accessible artificial intelligence, creating something heartfelt has never been easier or more affordable. We often struggle to express our deepest feelings. You can use AI to help you find the right words, whether it is gratitude for a parent, admiration for a teacher, or love for a partner. Research shows that emotionally expressive writing creates deeper relationship satisfaction and strengthens attachment bonds. Take a favorite photo and use an AI image generator to reimagine it as a stylized illustration. 38 Personalized images activate the “self-relevance bias”. When people see themselves designed artistically, they feel uniquely seen and valued. AI video tools can organize old photos into a slideshow with music. A voiceover can turn a folder of images into a family documentary. 39 Create a set of personalized acts of service coupons (券). These can be practical, such as tech help or dog-sitting, or they can be focused on quality time, such as studying together or cooking dinner. Acts of service rank high for emotional impact because they demonstrate a willingness to invest time and energy, which often speaks louder than material goods. 40 A. This is helpful for people who value help over objects. B. People often value thoughtful gifts far more than expensive ones. C. AI can be of great help for gift choosing, especially during the holiday. D. However, for many, this holiday season arrives with an uncomfortable reality. E. Reflecting on shared memories strengthens family identity and a sense of belonging. F. Personalized illustrations made with AI are often similar to mass-produced art in style. G. You can choose from various styles, such as watercolor, comic book art, or futuristic art. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分55分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Noah, an American sociology student, had long been fascinated by Chinese culture.

Throughout her school years, she struggled with public speaking, often feeling her heart race and her palms sweat at the mere thought of standing in front of a crowd. This fear held her back in many ways, making her pass up opportunities that came her way, from leading class projects to participating in school debates. Her classmates saw her as the quiet girl in the back row, the one who always had her nose in a book, but seldom raised her hand to answer questions. During her final year of high school, Mia’s English teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the annual speech competition. The theme was “Overcoming Challenges,” and it was a significant part of the grade. Mia felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over her. However, this time, something within her stirred. She was tired of letting her fears define her experiences and limit her growth. It was a spark that inspired her determination to change her life. With a newfound determination, Mia decided to face her fear head-on. She chose a topic close to her heart: “The Power of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone.” Preparing for the speech became her mission. She researched extensively, wrote and rewrote her speech multiple times, and practiced in front of her mirror, then her family, and gradually, a small group of friends. Each step was a challenge, pushing her beyond the familiar boundaries of her comfort zone. Her friends and family noticed the change in her, the gradual increase in confidence that came with each practice session. The day of the competition arrived, and as Mia waited for her turn, she could feel the familiar symptoms (症状) of her anxiety creeping in. But she reminded herself of the journey she had gone through, the effort she had put in, and the support she had received. She realized that regardless of the outcome, she had already overcome the biggest challenge by facing her fear directly. This realization brought a sense of calm over her, a quiet confidence that she had never felt before. 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。 Mia stepped onto the stage. _______________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. _______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
