At 9:00 am, over 100 enthusiastic participants, including students and teachers, gathered at the school gate. Equipped with bicycles decorated with eco-friendly slogans, we set off along the picturesque route. During the ride, we stopped at several points to distribute leaflets and engage with the public, sharing tips on reducing waste and conserving natural resources. The highlight of the day was a group pledge to adopt greener lifestyles, followed by a picnic lunch using reusable containers. This event not only promoted physical fitness but also emphasized the importance of sustainability and community involvement. It was a memorable experience that encouraged everyone to take action to protect our planet. 读后续写： Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the father on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir. Out of your pocket fell this bill.” The man turned around and saw the money. He stood silently for a second, feeling confused. But soon, he knew what was going on and picked it up. With his lips shaking and something shining in his eyes, he replied in a low voice, “Thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. Puzzled and a bit disappointed, I kept asking father why. My father held my hang even more tightly and explained to me in a gentle way. It was a desperate and heartbreaking situation for a father who wished nothing but brighten his children’s life just with the circus! “I just don’t want to let the kids down. From that day on, I know that being wealthy is not just about money and being happy is not just get what you want. 听力原文 答案解析： A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Poetry.com网站上诗歌比赛的运作方式、奖项设置、评选方式等相关信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据What about the awards?下“The top three winners will receive cash prizes. Five runners-up will receive a personalized teacup featuring their winning poem.(前三名获奖者将获得现金奖励。五名亚军将获得一个印有他们获奖诗歌的个性化茶杯。)”可知，奖项包括前三名和五名亚军，一共八人获奖。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据How do you decide who wins?下的“You are not allowed to vote for yourself, and not voting will lower your poem grade by one point.(你不能为自己投票，不投票会使你的诗歌成绩降低一分。)”可知，忘记投票的后果是你的诗歌成绩降低一分。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every month, a new contest will begin. Poetry. com prides itself in supporting and encouraging all writers, regardless of background, education or experience.(每个月都会开始一场新的比赛。Poetry.com以支持和鼓励所有作家而自豪，无论其背景、教育或经历如何)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了Poetry.com网站上诗歌比赛的运作方式、奖项设置、评选方式等相关信息，所以读者对象应是诗歌爱好者。故选A项。 B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了火山学家克拉夫特夫妇的工作以及他们对火山学的贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcanologist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect the complex details of each eruption like never before.(火山爆发的那一刻，她和同为火山学家的丈夫莫里斯·克拉夫特放下一切，分析并捕捉每一个事件的美丽和神秘。这些令人惊叹的照片使研究人员能够以前所未有的方式剖析每次火山喷发的复杂细节。)”可知，火山爆发时，克拉夫特夫妇要拍摄了这个过程。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevada del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.(克拉夫特夫妇最初把他们的研究重点放在所谓的溢流式喷发上，这种喷发虽然仍然很危险，但通常比爆炸性喷发的致命性要小。但两场灾难让卡夫夫妇把目光转向了后者的破坏性影响。1980年，华盛顿圣海伦斯火山喷发造成57人死亡，1985年，哥伦比亚内华达德尔鲁伊斯火山喷发造成2万多人死亡。)”可知，20世纪80年代的两次火山爆发改变了克拉夫特夫妇的职业重心。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters.(这对夫妇用他们对火山爆发的记录来解释这些灾难的复杂风险和不确定性。)”可知，拍摄火山爆发的目的是分享火山风险的知识。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的““Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.(“一旦你看到火山喷发，你就不能没有它，因为它是如此壮观，如此强大，”克拉夫特说，她是一位无畏的火山学先驱，在研究火山喷发高峰的时候，这个领域几乎没有女性。)”和最后一段的句子“Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet.(远远在她去世后很久，卡蒂亚对火山学的影响还在，并激励了许多年轻女性研究我们这个不安分的星球。)”可知，卡蒂亚是一位勇敢且有很大影响力的女性。故选D项。 C 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While current foldable phones are limited to folding the screen up and down or left and right, AI tools predict that in the future, phones will become completely flexible, according to the website mobiles.co.uk.(据mobile .co.uk网站称，虽然目前可折叠手机仅限于上下或左右折叠屏幕，但人工智能工具预测，在未来，手机将变得完全灵活)”；第三段“Motorola revealed a flexible phone with an adaptive display that can be worn like a bracelet and bent into multiple shapes in October 2023. Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases.(摩托罗拉于2023年10月发布了一款可弯曲手机，该手机具有自适应显示屏，可以像手镯一样佩戴，并弯曲成多种形状。苹果还在研究一种制造折痕更少的可折叠屏幕的方法)”以及第四段“So an “unbreakable” phone would really come in handy.(所以“牢不可破”的手机真的会派上用场)”可知，没有提到未来手机的安全特性。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2023, Zhenan Bao at Stanford University, US, developed a synthetic (合成的) skin that can heal itself using heat and magnets. This artificial skin can stretch like human skin without tearing. This new type of thin film can rearrange itself automatically as it heals.(2023年，美国斯坦福大学的Zhenan Bao发明了一种可以利用热量和磁铁自愈的合成皮肤。这种人造皮肤可以像人的皮肤一样伸展而不撕裂。这种新型薄膜在愈合过程中可以自动重新排列)”可知，一种创新的材料让未来的手机能够自愈。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Many innovative technologies and devices have come out of this field. In 2016, Kyocera Corporation from Japan and French company SunPartner launched a solar-powered phone, using solar panels built into the screen to collect solar energy.(许多创新的技术和设备都是从这个领域出来的。2016年，日本京瓷公司和法国SunPartner公司推出了一款太阳能手机，使用内置在屏幕上的太阳能电池板来收集太阳能)”可知，第6段提到了日本和法国的公司是为了说明许多创新的技术和产品已经出现。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, as the tech develops and solar panels can charge things more efficiently, we may see a rise in using solar energy to charge smartphones.(然而，随着技术的发展，太阳能电池板可以更有效地充电，我们可能会看到使用太阳能为智能手机充电的数量增加)”可知，作者对未来太阳能手机的态度是乐观的。故选B。 D 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The new findings suggest that while people type notes quickly without much thought, handwriting is slower and encourages active engagement with the material. This process helps students stay attentive and grasp new concepts more effectively.(新发现表明，虽然人们打字很快，没有太多思考，但手写速度较慢，并鼓励积极参与材料。这个过程有助于学生保持专注，更有效地掌握新概念)”可知，手写笔记有助于学生保持专注，更有效地掌握新概念，增强学生对概念的理解。故选D。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To understand brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, researchers fixed 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet to record the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen. When students wrote by hand, the sensors detected widespread brain connectivity across visual regions, sensory processing areas, and the motor cortex (皮层) which is responsible for body movement and sensory-motor integration and helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however, showed minimal activity in these regions.(为了了解两种记笔记方法中大脑活动的差异，研究人员将256个电极固定在发网中，记录36名学生在写或键入屏幕上显示的单词时的大脑活动。当学生手写时，传感器检测到大脑在视觉区域、感觉处理区域和运动皮层之间的广泛连接，运动皮层负责身体运动和感觉运动整合，并帮助大脑利用环境输入为人的下一步行动提供信息。然而，打字在这些区域显示出最小的活动)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究人员进行研究时使用的方法及其发现。故选A。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to deteriorate over time, whether it’s memory or motor skills.(如果我们不积极使用这些区域，那么随着时间的推移，无论是记忆力还是运动技能，它们都会deteriorate)”可知，不积极使用这些区域的话，这些区域的能力会变差，推测划线单词表示“变差，下降”，与decline意义相近。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think there’s a very strong case for engaging children in handwriting activities, especially when they’re first learning about letters. There’s something about involving the fine-motor system and production activities that really impacts learning.(我认为有充分的理由让孩子们参与手写活动，尤其是当他们第一次学习字母时。涉及精细运动系统和生产活动确实会影响学习)”可知，根据Sophia Vinci-Booher所说，涉及精细运动系统和生产活动会影响学习，与学习结果有关。故选B。 七选五 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何正确引导孩子学习，避免过度施压，帮助他们找到学习的内在动力。 【36题详解】 上文提到“It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter.(你常常会施压让孩子变得更聪明)”，这表明家长对孩子学习的期望很高，而空格后“Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way.(强迫孩子学习可能是让他们学习的最简单方法，但并非最佳方法)”说明强迫学习的局限性，C选项“You may enroll them in various after-class courses.(你可能会让他们参加各种课外课程)”与上下文逻辑一致，既承接了家长对孩子学习的关注，又引出了对强迫学习方式的反思。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help.(如果你替孩子完成作业，他们将无法解决自己的问题，并总是依赖他人帮助)”推知，空格处应是对这一现象的解决方案，E选项“Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research.(相反，给他们提供指导和工具，让他们自己研究)”给出了正确的做法，既避免了直接替孩子完成作业，又能培养孩子的独立解决问题能力。故选E。 【38题详解】 上文提到“Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test.(因此，当孩子通过考试时，最好表扬他们)”，而空格后“This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures.(这样，他们会将自己的错误视为改进的机会，而不是将自己视为失败者)”则强调了如何处理孩子失败的情况，D选项“If not, patiently show them how to do better next time.(如果没有通过考试，耐心地教他们下次如何做得更好)”与前文形成不同情况的对比，符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 此处为本段的主题句，空格后提到“If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies.(如果你只是不遗余力地强迫孩子学习，你和孩子都会感到沮丧。因此，把重点放在对孩子发展至关重要的其他活动上，比如运动和看电影)”，这表明学习不应成为生活的唯一焦点，F选项“Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on.(尽管学习很重要，但它并不是孩子唯一需要关注的事情)”与下文逻辑一致，既点明了学习的重要性，又强调了其他活动对孩子成长的意义，概括了本段的主题，符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 上文提到“Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study.(一些家长认为精神障碍导致孩子对学习缺乏兴趣)”，而空格后“It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested.(很可能是他们的孩子只是缺乏动力或不感兴趣)”则否定了这种观点，A选项“That’s not necessarily the case.(事实未必如此)”承上启下，既回应了上文的错误观点，又引出了后文的解释。故选A。 完型 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述Eugenie George在面对朋友通过财政咨询测试，从最初的情绪消沉到随后坦诚地告知朋友自己对她的羡慕以及朋友对自己的激励，这种态度的转变让她不仅体验到朋友的快乐，也找寻到属于自己的幸福。最终提出结论：从另一个人的好运中寻找快乐会使你们的关系更加亲密和愉快。分享别人的快乐也可以培养韧性，提高生活满意度，帮助人们在冲突中合作。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：几周前，她没能通过同样的测试。A. taken拿；B. passed通过；C. failed失败；D. prepared准备。根据后文“And I told her I failed”可知，她失败了。故选C项。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但不管怎样，她还是祝贺了她的朋友。A. congratulated祝贺；B. forgave原谅；C. blamed指责；D. ignored忽视。根据前文“When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam”可知，她的朋友通过考试，应是祝贺她的朋友。故选A项。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我告诉她我失败了，并承认我嫉妒了。A. badly-behaved表现差的；B. over-burdened负担过重；C. short-sighted目光短浅的；D. green-eyed嫉妒的。根据前文“Envy was eating me up”可知作者是嫉妒的。故选D项。 44题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：乔治知道，诚实会减轻她的嫉妒，但令她惊讶的是，这也使她能够分享朋友的快乐，并反过来体验自己的快乐。A. tough艰难的；B. honest诚实的；C. tolerant宽容的；D. optimistic乐观的。根据前文“And I told her I failed and admitted I was 　　　3　　　”可知，作者承认她嫉妒了，所以是诚实的。故选B项。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：乔治知道，诚实会减轻她的嫉妒，但令她惊讶的是，这也使她能够分享朋友的快乐，并反过来体验自己的快乐。A. imagine想象；B. understand懂；C. share分享；D. increase增加。根据后文“Finding 　　　6　　　 in another person’s good fortune”可知，在从别人的好运中找到快乐，也就是分享他人的快乐。故选C项。 46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：从别人的好运中找到快乐就是社会科学家所说的Freudenfreude，当别人成功时，我们会感到极大的快乐，即使这与我们没有直接关系。A. hope希望；B. passion激情；C. confidence信心；D. pleasure快乐。根据前文“it also enabled her to 　　　5　　　 her friend’s happiness”可知，分享她朋友的快乐，所以是找到快乐。故选D项。 【47题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：从别人的好运中找到快乐就是社会科学家所说的Freudenfreude，当别人成功时，我们会感到极大的快乐，即使这与我们没有直接关系。A. even if即使；B. as if好像…一样；C. now that由于；D. so that以便。根据后文“it doesn’t directly involve us.”结合选项，应是“即使这与我们没有直接关系”之意符合语境。故选A项。 【48题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：心理学教授凯瑟琳·查布利斯(Catherine Chambliss)说，Freudenfreude就像一种社会粘合剂。A. platform平台；B. glue粘合剂；C. booster拥护者；D. routine常规。根据后文“It makes relationships “closer and more enjoyable.””可知，Freudenfreude让人际关系“更亲密、更愉快”，所以是粘合剂。故选B项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：很多时候，我们认为朋友在困难时期最需要我们：失业、离婚。A. support支持；B. annoy使生气；C. upset使烦恼；D. need需要。根据后文“during their hard times”可知，朋友在困难时期应该是需要我们符合实际。故选D项。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：很多时候，我们认为朋友在困难时期最需要我们：失业、离婚。A. loss丢失；B. change改变；C. interview面试；D. application申请。根据前文“during their hard times”可知，在困难时期的事，应是丢失工作。故选A项。 【51题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：事实上，对我们来说，朋友对我们快乐的反应比他们对我们痛苦的反应更重要。A. look forward to期待；B. contribute to有助于；C. get used to习惯；D. react to对…有反应。根据后文“how they respond to our 　　　12　　　.”可知，空处和后文作比较，应是同一动作作比价，所以应是对快乐的反应。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：事实上，对我们来说，朋友对我们快乐的反应比他们对我们痛苦的反应更重要。A. envy嫉妒；B. complaints投诉；C. suffering痛苦；D. mistakes错误。根据前文“In fact, how friends 　　　11　　　 our joy”可知，空处应是和joy相对应，作比较，结合选项，应是“suffering痛苦”符合语境。故选C项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们把它看作是我们与生俱来的东西，而不是我们能够创造出来的东西。A. predict预测；B. produce制造；C. choose选择；D. measure测量。根据前文“Too often, we think of joy passively.

The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field. The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before. The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people. The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption. Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says. 24．What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted? A．They sent once warnings. B．They shot the process. C．They wrote down the details. D．They analyzed the causes. 25．What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s? A．They were effusive eruptions. B．They took place in the US. C．They were recorded by the Kraffts. D．They changed the Kraffts’ career focus. 26．What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions? A．To show the beauty of volcanoes. B．To predict future volcanic activities. C．To share knowledge of volcanic risks. D．To guide government policy-making. 27．Which of the following words can best describe Katia? A．Enthusiastic and modest. B．Humorous and professional. C．Ambitious and generous. D．Courageous and influential. C From the very first cellphone developed by US company Motorola in 1973 which could only make phone calls for 30 minutes at most to today’s 5G smartphones, the shape of the mobile phone has been constantly changing and its features have become more and more diverse. While current foldable phones are limited to folding the screen up and down or left and right, AI tools predict that in the future, phones will become completely flexible, according to the website mobiles.co.uk. Motorola revealed a flexible phone with an adaptive display that can be worn like a bracelet and bent into multiple shapes in October 2023. Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases. The phones of the future may also be “self-healing” — who hasn’t experienced that awful moment when you drop your phone and the screen cracks? So an “unbreakable” phone would really come in handy. In 2023, Zhenan Bao at Stanford University, US, developed a synthetic (合成的) skin that can heal itself using heat and magnets. This artificial skin can stretch like human skin without tearing. This new type of thin film can rearrange itself automatically as it heals. The way phones are powered will also see a shift, such as by using solar energy. Many innovative technologies and devices have come out of this field. In 2016, Kyocera Corporation from Japan and French company SunPartner launched a solar-powered phone, using solar panels built into the screen to collect solar energy. It took about three minutes of sunlight to charge the phone for one minute of talk time. Due to the longer relative charging time when using solar power, the phone still needed traditional batteries to be practical. However, as the tech develops and solar panels can charge things more efficiently, we may see a rise in using solar energy to charge smartphones. 28. Which feature of future mobile phones is NOT mentioned in the text? A. Safety. B. Flexibility. C. Endurance. D. Sustainability. 29. What makes it possible for the future phone to heal itself? A. A special animal skin. B. An artificial light. C. A synthesized magnet. D. An innovative material. 30. Why are Japan and French companies mentioned in Paragraph 6? A. To prove that built-in solar panels in future cellphones is no longer a fantasy. B. To argue that the way cellphones are charged in the future is constantly changing. C. To illustrate that numerous technologies and products of innovation have emerged. D. To indicate that Japan and France lead the way in developing solar-powered phones. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards solar-powered cellphones in the future? A. Reserved. B. Optimistic. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. D Handwriting in class seems outdated as digital technology has widely taken over learning. But a steady stream of research suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology monitored brain activity in students taking notes and discovered that those writing by hand exhibited higher levels of electrical activity across many interconnected brain regions. The new findings suggest that while people type notes quickly without much thought, handwriting is slower and encourages active engagement with the material. This process helps students stay attentive and grasp new concepts more effectively. To understand brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, researchers fixed 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet to record the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen. When students wrote by hand, the sensors detected widespread brain connectivity across visual regions, sensory processing areas, and the motor cortex (皮层) which is responsible for body movement and sensory-motor integration and helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however, showed minimal activity in these regions. Sophia Vinci-Booher, a neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University, says that the recent study highlights the tie between motor action and conceptual recognition: “When writing a word, you’re using your motor system to create it. That creation is then fed back into the visual system and processed again, strengthening the action-word link.” Yadurshana Sivashankar, a psychologist at the University of Waterloo, notes that people are increasingly “off-loading” cognitive (认知的) tasks onto digital devices, such as by taking a photograph instead of committing information to memory. “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to deteriorate over time, whether it’s memory or motor skills.” Ultimately, Vinci-Booher says, “I think there’s a very strong case for engaging children in handwriting activities, especially when they’re first learning about letters. There’s something about involving the fine-motor system and production activities that really impacts learning.” 32. What is an advantage of taking notes by hand? A. It gets students more active in their life. B. It improves students’ skills of body control. C. It enables students to stay serious and cautious. D. It enhances students’ conceptual understanding. 33. What aspects of the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The method and findings. B. The analysis and suggestions. C. The background and subjects. D. The theoretical basis and applications. 34. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Develop. B. Expand. C. Decline. D. Disappear. 35. Which of the following may Sophia Vinci-Booher agree with? A. Children should learn to write letters early. B. The motor system is related to learning outcomes. C. Handwriting activities are essential for children’s health. D. The action-word tie depends mostly on the visual system. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter. 36 Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way. There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see studying as a way to acquire new things. You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn’t do the homework for them. If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help. 37 Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they’ll feel like a failure. Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test. 38 This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures. 39 If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies. Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study. 40 It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it’s good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework. A．That’s not necessarily the case. B．It is teachers’ duty to correct homework mistakes. C．You may enroll them in various after-class courses. D．If not, patiently show them how to do better next time. E．Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research. F．Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on. G．Even if they fail in exams, you’d better control your temper. 第三部分 语言运用 (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。 When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam her heart sank.

People in China have used an ancient counting tool 57 (perform) mathematical operations. The Chinese calculator’s name is “suanpan”, 58 is known as “abacus” in English. Invented by Liu Hong, abacus is one of the symbols of Chinese people’s wisdom 59 (date) back to the 12th century. Abacus has had a far-reaching influence on science and technology, language, literature, art, architecture 60 many other fields of China and even some areas of the world. Meanwhile, abacus has affected people’s character, such as honesty and diligence. For centuries, this simple counting device 61 (pass) down through different dynasties with its original design and purpose 62 (actual) unchanged. The calculations can be made on it immediately, with the device storing the results in “visual Storage” much like a computer display. When working with a large number of 63 (number), an abacus is practically faster, since it has a 64 (good) “keyboard” than the Western calculators. Anyway, the small abacus has made an outstanding contribution in the fields of human intellectual development, just as the computer does in today’s 65 (social). 第四部分 写作 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是学生会主席李华，你校近期组织了一次骑行活动来宣传环保，请你用英语写一则报道。要点如下： 1. 时间及地点； 2. 活动过程； 3. 活动意义。 注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 An inspiring cycling event ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 （满分25分） I still remember the first time my father and I went to the town for a circus performance. When I was 13, word came that a well-known circus would perform in the town. I jumped at the news and my father promised to take me to it. The big day finally came, and I was pleased to see my father put a brand new 20-dollar bill in his pocket carefully. The ticket counter was crowded with excited children and parents. My father held my hand tightly. As we were standing in line to wait for our turn, the family of six in front of us, a lovely couple and four kids, attracted me. The four kids were all probably under the age of twelve. Even as a child, I could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean and tidy. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, and holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. From their thrilled expressions, I knew they had never been to the circus before just like me. It promised to be the highlight of our young lives. I was looking forward to enjoying the performance as eagerly as the four lovely kids. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proudly. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy four children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” “Eight dollars each. Altogether 48 dollars, please,” said the ticket lady in a mild voice. “Pardon? Is there any difference in adults and children?” the puzzled father leaned a little closer and asked. “No, sir. Eight dollars each,” the lady quoted the price again. Hearing this, the father dropped his head, speechless for a while. How was he supposed to turn around and tell his four children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus? As a matter of fact, we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them. I just looked up at my dad. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试卷 第1页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有。5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Hi, Stewart.

B Wrapped in a shiny metal suit,Katia Krafft's small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of boiling rock that burst from the ground before her.The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland's Krafla volcano in 1984."Once you see an eruption,you can't live without it because it's so magnificent,so strong,"says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology,study ing the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field. The moment a volcano exploded,she and her husband,Maurice Krafft,also a volcancoogist,dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event.These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect( the complex details of each eruption like never before. The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (eruptions,which,though still dangerous. are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives.But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter.In 1980 the eruption of Mount St.Helens in Washington killed 57 people,and in 1985,the eruption of Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people. The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters.Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of 高二英语试卷第3页共8页 Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 seriously.Yet the Kraffts didn't live to see it.They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption. Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet.At age 16,Marie-Claude Williamson,now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada,met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films."It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going."she says. 24.What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted? A.They sent once warnings. B.They shot the process. C.They wrote down the details. D.They analyzed the causes. 25.What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s? A.They were effusive eruptions. B.They took place in the US. C.They were recorded by the Kraffts. D.They changed the Kraffts'career focus 26.What's the purpose of filming explosive eruptions? A.To show the beauty of volcanoes. B.To predict future volcanic activities. C.To share knowledge of volcanic risks. D.To guide government policy-making. 27.Which of the following words can best describe Katia? A.Enthusiastic and modest. B.Humorous and professional C.Ambitious and generous. D.Courageous and influential. C From the very first cellphone developed by US company Motorola in 1973 which could only make phone calls for 30 minutes at most to today's 5G smartphones,the shape of the mobile phone has been constantly changing and its features have become more and more diverse. While current foldable phones are limited to folding the screen up and down or left and right,AI tools predict that in the future,phones will become completely flexible,according to the website mobiles.co.uk. Motorola revealed a flexible phone with an adaptive display that can be worn like a bracelet and bent into multiple shapes in October 2023.Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases. The phones of the future may also be"self-healing"-who hasn't experienced that awful moment when you drop your phone and the screen cracks?So an"unbreakable"phone would really come in handy. In 2023,Zhenan Bao at Stanford University,US,developed a synthetic (skin that can heal itself using heat and magnets.This artificial skin can stretch like human skin without tearing.This new type of thin film can rearrange itself automatically as it heals. The way phones are powered will also see a shift,such as by using solar energy.Many innovative technologies and devices have come out of this field.In 2016,Kyocera Corporation from Japan and French company SunPartner launched a solar-powered phone,using solar panels built into the screen to collect solar energy. It took about three minutes of sunlight to charge the phone for one minute of talk time.Due to the longer relative charging time when using solar power,the phone still needed traditional batteries to be practical.However,as the tech develops and solar panels can charge things more efficiently,we may see a rise in using solar energy to charge smartphones 28.Which feature of future mobile phones is NOT mentioned in the text? A.Safety. B.Flexibility. C.Endurance. D.Sustainability. 29.What makes it possible for the future phone to heal itself? 高二英语试卷第4页共8页 A.A special animal skin. B.An artificial light. C.A synthesized magnet. D.An innovative material. 30.Why are Japan and French companies mentioned in Paragraph 6? A.To prove that built-in solar panels in future cellphones is no longer a fantasy. B.To argue that the way cellphones are charged in the future is constantly changing. C.To illustrate that numerous technologies and products of innovation have emerged. D.To indicate that Japan and France lead the way in developing solar-powered phones. 31.What's the author's attitude towards solar-powered cellphones in the future? A.Reserved. B.Optimistic. C.Concerned. D.Indifferent. D Handwriting in class seems outdated as digital technology has widely taken over learning.But a steady stream of research suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the best way to learn,especially for young children. A study published in Frontiers in psychology monitored brain activity in students taking notes and discovered that those writing by hand exhibited higher levels of electrical activity across many interconnected brain regions.The new findings suggest that while people type notes quickly without much thought,handwriting is slower and encourages active engagement with the material.This process helps students stay attentive and grasp new concepts more effectively. To understand brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches,researchers fixed 256 electrodes( )into a hairnet to record the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen.When students wrote by hand,the sensors detected widespread brain connectivity across visual regions,sensory processing areas, and the motor cortex()which is responsible for body movement and sensory-motor integration and helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person's next action.Typing,however,showed minimal activity in these regions. Sophia Vinci-Booher,a neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University,says that the recent study highlights the tie between motor action and conceptual recognition:"When writing a word,you're using your motor system to create it.That creation is then fed back into the visual system and processed again,strengthening the action-word link." Yadurshana Sivashankar,a psy chologist at the University of Waterloo,notes that people are increasingly"off-loading' cognitive (tasks onto digital devices,such as by taking a photograph instead of committing information to memory. "If we're not actively using these areas,then they are going to deteriorate over time,whether it's memory or motor skills." Ultimately,Vinci-Booher says,"I think there's a very strong case for engaging children in handwriting activities, especially when they're first leaming about letters.There's something about involving the fine-motor system and production activities that really impacts learning." 32.What is an advantage of taking notes by hand? A.It gets students more active in their life. B.It improves students'skills of body control. C.It enables students to stay serious and cautious. D.It enhances students'conceptual understanding. 33.What aspects of the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A.The method and findings. B.The analysis and suggestions. C.The background and subjects. D.The theoretical basis and applications. 34.What does the underlined worddeteriorate"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Develop B.Expand. C.Decline. D.Disappear. 35.Which of the following may Sophia Vinci-Booher agree with? A.Children should learn to write letters early. 高二英语试卷第5页 共8页 B.The motor system is related to learning outcomes. C.Handwriting activities are essential for children's health. D.The action-word tie depends mostly on the visual system. 第二节七选五共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 It's common for you to pressure your children to be smarter.36 Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn,but not the best way.There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see study ing as a way to acquire new things. You should always remember you are not a teacher.Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes,you shouldn't do the homework for them.If you do,your children won't be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help.37 Besides,be cautious about rewarding children for good grades.If you abuse this,your children will only attempt to study for a reward.Getting bad grades,they'll feel like a failure.Thus,it's better to praise your children when they pass a test.38 This way,they'll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures _39 If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study,both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore,place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children's development,like playing sports and watching movies. Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children's lack of interest in study.40 It's very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested.Therefore,it's good to take the above tips into account. As a result,your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework. A.That's not necessarily the case. B.It is teachers'duty to correct homework mistakes. C.You may enroll them in various after-class courses. D.Ifnot,patiently show them how to do better next time. E.Instead,offer them guidance and tools to do self-research. F.Vital as study is,it's not the only thing kids must focus on. G.Even if they fail in exams,you'd better control your temper. 第三部分语言运用（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。 When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam her heart sank.She'd 41 the same test weeks earlier.

The big day finally came,and I was pleased to see my father put a brand new 20-dollar bill in his pocket carefully.The ticket counter was crowded with excited children and parents.My father held my hand tightly.As we were standing in line to wait for our turn,the family of six in front of us,a lovely couple and four kids,attracted me. The four kids were all probably under the age of twelve.Even as a child,I could tell they didn't have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean and tidy.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two by two behind their parents,and holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants,and acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.From their thrilled expressions, I knew they had never been to the circus before just like me.It promised to be the highlight of our young lives.I was looking forward to enjoying the performance as eagerly as the four lovely kids.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proudly. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy four children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus." "Eight dollars each.Altogether 48 dollars,please,"said the ticket lady in a mild voice. "Pardon?Is there any difference in adults and children?"the puzzled father leaned a little closer and asked. "No,sir.Eight dollars each,"the lady quoted the price again. Hearing this,the father dropped his head,speechless for a while.How was he supposed to turn around and tell his four children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus? As a matter of fact,we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understood how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.I just looked up at my dad. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Without saying a word,my dad released my hand,pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. Paragraph 2: That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. 高二英语试卷第8页共8页
