In 2016, Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School, a public school, in a faraway Kenya s Rift Valley. The school had just a single computer and had problems connecting to the Internet. It had no library or laboratory, as well. To make matters worse, the students came from poor families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have caused most people to leave quickly, Tabichi stayed. Realizing that hungry kids make for poor students, the teacher began using as much as 80 percent of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids interested in the topic. “Our laboratory does not have everything, but I encourage them to think wider and use what we can get locally.” Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visit low-achieving, at-risk students at their homes to provide one - on-one help and to understand the difficulties these children face daily. Tabichi also encourages parents to allow girls to continue their high-school education. Tabichi’s efforts have made a difference. School registration (注册) has more than doubled to almost 400 now since he came. In 2017, 16 of the 59 graduating students went to college, while in 2018, the number rose to 26. In 2017 , five students qualified (有资格) for the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). This year, two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in Phoenix, Arizona. The teacher, however, owes his success to his students, saying, “I am only here because of what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything.” As would be expected, Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community and to feed the poor. 24. What is the text mainly about? A. A school located in a Kenya’s Rift valley became famous. B. A Kenyan teacher helping poor students won Global Teacher Prize. C. A Kenyan teacher helped girls to continue their high-school education. D. Five Kenyan students qualified for the Intel ISEF for their performance. 25. What can we know about Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School? A. It had dozens of teachers. B. It was in the center of a city. C. It owned a modern lab. D. It was in poor condition. 26. Which word can be used to describe Peter Tabichi? A. Honest. B. Wealthy. C. Kind. D. Humorous. 27. Which is the closest number of students when Peter Tabichi began teaching there? A. 90. B. 190. C. 290 D. 390. C Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all about the amazing power of music. A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. A team of experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations. Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help them recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk. Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it can really stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference got clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment. Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system. 28. How does music affect preterm babies? A. It helps reduce their pain. B. It helps develop their potential in music. C. It helps improve their hearing systems. D. It helps repair their cardiovascular systems. 29. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Lead to. B. Increase. C. Prevent. D. Break into. 30. Why can music mend a broken heart? A. It can help patients recover in a slow way. B. It helps make a person feel optimistic all the time. C. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work. D. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety. 31. What may be the best title for text? A. Who can benefit from music. B. The best time to listen to music. C. The way to choose quality music. D. How music affects our mind and body. D Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress. There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic (慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment. Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both. The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy (推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced. As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world. 32. What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM? A. It is a symbol of national civilization. B. It is more successful in recovery after surgery. C. It is more effective in surgery. D. It is more effective in treating chronic diseases. 33. According to paragraph 4, which aspect is included in the Chinese government supports for TCM? A. It combines Internet Technology with TCM. B. Building more specialized TCM universities nationwide. C. Replacing Western medical treatments with acupuncture. D. It calls on the public to support TCM. 34. What can be inferred about the author’s opinion on TCM? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Skeptical. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. TCM Beats Western Medicine. B. Chinese Government Promotes TCM. C. TCM is One of China’s Cultural Symbols. D. TCM Breaks New Ground. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 Art is a way of using the human imagination to show expressive ideas or feelings.

With her parents’ support, Tina dreamed of opening her own bakery (面包店), a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience. Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but attractive table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Tina to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell. On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Tina was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Tina noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Tina. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman. “I thought you might like some snacks (零食),” Tina said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face. A little shocked, Tina asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Robins, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Tina listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story. 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。 Tina decided to help Mrs. Robins out. __________________________________________________________ As their relationship deepened, Tina shared her dream with Mrs. Robins. ______________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春季南侨中学高一年段期中考试英语答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1-5 ACCAB 5-10 ACACA 11-15 ACACB 16-20 CCBCA 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A 篇 ABA B篇 BDCB C篇 ACCD D篇 CAAD 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40 GCAED 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 41.

Every Saturday, as Tina saw Mrs. Robins, she treated Mrs. Robins to her desserts generously, chatted with Mrs. Robins and listened to more of Mrs. Robins’ stories. It comforted the elderly woman a lot and made her feel she was cared about. Influenced by Tina’s kindness, Mrs. Robins gradually worked through her sorrow, her eyes regaining their sparkle, and she started to embrace life again. As their relationship deepened, Tina shared her dream. Mrs. Robins was eager to support her, sharing her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Tina and offered her tips on opening a bakery.

Over time, Tina’s bakery had been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, where love and warmth were always on the menu. 听力原文： 1. M: On the way here I saw a cute bird. I was so attracted to it that I accidentally hit a rubbish bin and a bicycle on the street corner. W: You really need to concentrate when driving. 2. W: Oh no, I left my textbook at home. Mr Warren will be mad at me. M: Don’t worry, I can share mine with you during his class. W: Thank you. I’ll treat you to Ice cream after this English class. 3. M: Estelle, I have a meeting with Mister Allen at three o’clock this afternoon. Could you reschedule it to six p.m.? The report I need isn’t ready yet. W: Certainly, Mr Wells. 4. W: I don’t really want to see an action movie anyway. Let’s read the reviews of the comedy first to make sure it is worth our time. M: Okay, well, it has got many bad reviews. Maybe we should choose a horror movie instead. W: Okay. 5. M: It’s nice to meet you. Are you ready to start the project? W: Sure. This is my first project with your company. I have done thorough preparation. M: It’s my honor to work with you 6. M: Do you know if there is a photo studio nearby? I need to take a passport photo this afternoon. W: Last year I went to a store on Station Street to print a family picture. M: Oh, I know that one, they don’t take photos. They only print the ones customers bring. W: Then you can try the one on Center Street. It’s near Redstone Street. I have been there once. They probably offer the service you need. M: Good idea. 7. W: Excuse me, I need to send this package to my grandfather. How much will it cost? M: Where do you want to send it? W: Denmark? M: Okay, now you have two options. For a package weighing no more than five kilos, the cheaper option is 10 dollars, but it’ll take around 14 days. The special delivery is 18 dollars, it takes no more than one week. The package weighs seven kilos. Since it’s over five kilos you need to pay an extra two dollars. W: It’s a birthday gift for my grandfather, so I’ll go with the faster choice. M: Okay please fill out the form. W: Sure. 8. W: Alex, you’re an hour late. What kept you? M: I’m really sorry, Anne. I was busy making a sales plan for a customer in the meeting room. My manager didn’t allow me to use my phone. W: How come she didn’t let you use your phone? M: Well, during important meetings we are forbidden from bringing our phones into the meeting room, since some important information might be passed on. W: Are they worried that you will take photos? M: Actually, they are more concerned that I might record the meeting with my phone. W: Oh, I see. Anyway, how about you order some food and I call little Luke? He’s waiting for us at home. M: Okay. 9. W: The charity party will last two hours. I’m so excited. M: Me too. I applied to play music for the dancing part in the last 15 minutes of the party. But Ryan got that role. He has a natural talent for music and will play the violin. W: That’s a pity, but he’s really good at it. I heard he will continue to develop this talent at university. M: Oh, nice. I didn’t know, but that didn’t surprise me at all. We learned to play the violin together in primary school. But I got bored and gave it up after a year. I wanted to focus more on my studies. Then I signed up for a math club in high school. W: That turned out to be a great choice. Getting into the best university in our city and majoring in science are quite impressive. M: Thanks. Anyway, I’ll be standing at the door from five PM to ensure the safety of guests. And you? W: I’ll be selling souvenirs. The party will start at six PM. I’ll start working when the party begins. 10. W: Good morning everyone. Today I’d like to put forward some suggestions on how we can bring more visitors to our beautiful Switzerland. Right now, most tourists come in winter for skiing in the Alps, especially in places like Zermatt. In summer they come for hiking and mountain biking in cities like Lucerne. However, we can do more to make Switzerland a year round destination. First, our quiet nature and fresh air are perfect for health tourism, which is becoming more popular worldwide. Second, we can promote cultural experiences such as holding international music festivals in Geneva. Trying food at street markets and hosting free cheese making workshops. This will attract tourists who want more than just beautiful views. Additionally, we should improve transportation between smaller towns, making it easier for tourists to explore hidden spots. Last but not least, we can also partner with advertising companies and travel reporters to share Switzerland’s beauty on social media. With these strategies, we can show the world that Switzerland has something to offer in every season. Thank you. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
