Sadly, many of my most important childhood moments centered around my struggles with body image. For most of my life, I have cared a lot about what others think of how I look. Whenever I’m around someone I don’t know well, I actively use body language to make myself appear thinner. When I was in fourth grade, I remember asking my best friend, “Do you think I’m fat?” She replied, “No, of course not.” But her answer didn’t comfort me. Since then, I have been extremely watchful of my body; I realized that the way I see myself isn’t the same as how others see me. Hearing people talk about weight gain as something bad has affected how I feel about myself. One friend used to tell me I’m on “the good side of plus-sized.” All it does is tell me that I’m overweight. In middle school, I felt like I had to prove to my friends that I was active and healthy. And even today, I worry over normal weight changes, all to try and avoid people sharing their “concerns” with my size. Discussing body image is difficult. What I have found is that being allowed to speak openly without judgment builds my self-confidence, because I feel that my voice is being heard. I am beginning to listen to my body and understand how it works. I hope to stop overanalyzing and build confidence — not through a number on the scale (体重秤), but through self-acceptance. 24. What does the author realize after talking to her best friend? A. Her friend truly understood her worries. B. She needed to lose weight immediately. C. Her self-image differed from others’ views. D. Her appearance was objectively unattractive. 25. How did her friend’s words “the good side of plus-sized” affect the author? A. It confirmed her fear of being overweight. B. It provided comfort about her appearance. C. It motivated her to exercise more regularly. D. It helped her to understand body positivity. 26. What is the main message of the passage? A. Social approval determines personal worth. B. Childhood experiences cannot be overcome. C. Weight loss should be the primary health goal. D. Self-acceptance matters more than appearance. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. From Self-Doubt to Self-Acceptance B. The Pain of Growing Up Overweight C. How Others’ Words Shape Our Self-Image D. Why We Care Too Much About Appearance C Snub-nosed monkey mums are picky (挑剔的) when choosing a caregiver, permitting experienced females to look after their babies more often than young and inexperienced ones. Many monkeys depend on the help of others when raising their offspring (后代). Now, an accidental discovery by Chun-Yan Cui at the Southwest Forestry University in China and her workmates has shown that a group of black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys in the Baimaxueshan National Nature Reserve in southern China also share caregiving. “During the breeding (繁殖) season, we saw newborn monkeys being passed around to other monkeys who were not their mothers. These monkeys would clean, carry, and sometimes even nurse the babies,” says Cui. “This reminded us of similar roles in human society, like babysitters, and caused our curiosity.” They followed the group of monkeys every day for six months during the birth season, recording 416 times in which a female interacted with a mother and her newborn. The researchers also noted the age and reproductive experience of the female, how the mother responded and how many times the baby was passed around. They found that mothers were more permissive of caregiving attempts by females who already had many offspring, and were more willing to accept this help as their babies got older. However, the young and inexperienced females still got their turn to care for the baby, typically after a more experienced monkey finished her babysitting duties. More research is needed to understand if this pattern of baby transfer (转移) may change depending on social class or family connections, says Cui. But Lulia Badescu at the University of Montreal in Canada says it is hard to know which behaviors signal an intention to handle a baby. “We don’t know for sure if they’re going through a decision-making process,” she says. 28. What can we infer about the snub-nosed monkeys from the discovery? A. They prefer individual parenting. B. They compete to care for babies. C. They work together in raising offspring. D. They dislike helping inexperienced females. 29. What does the study mainly find about snub-nosed monkeys? A. They have a small social structure. B. Mothers totally refuse young females as caregivers. C. Their babies are seldom passed around the group. D. Experienced mothers take the lead in caregiving. 30. What is Lulia Badescu’s attitude towards the monkeys’ behavior? A. She is certain about monkeys’ caregiving behavior. B. She believes monkeys’ behavior is similar to humans’. C. She doubts whether monkeys have a decision-making process. D. She thinks more research is needed to study monkeys’ behavior. 31. Where is the text most likely from? A. A scientific research journal. B. A travel magazine. C. A children’s literature work. D. A natural science textbook. D The correct answer to the question “How are you?” is “Not too bad”. Why? Because it’s all-purpose. Whatever the situations, whatever the conditions, “Not too bad” will get you through. In good times, it shows a reasonable amount of negativity (消极). On an average day, it just gets by with a simple approach. And when things are tough, it becomes a heroic understatement. Best of all, with three equally stressed syllables (音节), it gently forestalls further questions. That is to say, it politely prevents people from asking more. Americans in particular are small-talk artists. They have to be. This is a wild country. Very thin connections keep people connected to each other. So “Have a nice day!”, “Hot enough for you?”, “How about the movie?” and so on serve an important purpose. Without these gentle small-talk phrases and the momentary social agreement that they represent, the streets would become disorderly, full of troubles and dangers. But that’s the negative view. Some of the best times I connected with people were quick, short conversations. It’s an extraordinary thing. A stranger is in front of you, and just a simple word can make you feel like you’re diving deep into their inner world. I was out walking the other day when a UPS truck stopped by the side of the road in front of me. As the driver jumped out of his cab (驾驶室) to make a delivery, I heard music coming out of the truck’s speakers. And I knew the song. It’s my favorite song. “China Cat Sunflower?” I said to the UPS guy as he rushed back to his truck. A huge smile: “You got it, baby!” The exchange of energy, the perfect understanding and most of all, the polite and respectful “baby” — I was high as a kite for the next 10 minutes, projected skyward on a wave of small talk. 32. Why is “Not too bad” the correct answer to “How are you?” A. It is easy to pronounce. B. It is a popular expression. C. It shows a positive attitude. D. It can be used in various situations. 33. What does the underlined word “forestalls” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Encourages. B. Increases. C. Raises. D. Stops. 34. What is the function of small talk in America according to paragraph 3? A. It is totally a waste of time. B. It helps maintain social order. C. It makes the streets crowded. D. It helps people become artists. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Art of Small Talk B. The Power of Music C. American Greetings D. A Memorable Experience 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。 There are lots of exciting ways to sort out your shelves and organize your book collection. We spoke to booksellers Mia Wingfield and Helen Mair from The Alligator’s Mouth children’s bookshop in Richmond, London, about how they plan their shelves and create new arrangements. 36 With an organized bookshelf, you’ll be able to spot the things you’re most excited to read next. Choose a spot. Whether it’s in a special reading corner or on a bookshelf, it’s a good idea to keep all of your books together in one place. “It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by a mix of old favorites and new titles in a comfortable bookish corner,” says Wingfield. Gather your books together and start sorting. “ 37 Make the most of the space you have available — putting books on top of the shelves can be a good use of space,” says Mair. Organize your books. At The Alligator’s Mouth, the shelves are organized in a few different ways — picture books are ordered alphabetically (按字母顺序地) by publisher; novels, poetry and storybooks by the author’s surname; and non-novel books are grouped in themes. “Have fun with it,” says Mair. “ 38 ” Present special books. Mair suggests a simple way to highlight a book on your shelf. 39 In other words, the cover should be pointing outwards instead of the spine (书脊). By doing this, you can showcase the book’s story more effectively. Sort and swap (交换). 40 “It’s hard to decide which ones are ready to go to a new home.” says Wingfield, but she adds, “It’s a great way to make way for new favorites and pass on favorites to other readers too.” A. Not everyone has room for a personal library. B. Regularly remove books you no longer need or want. C. This method includes placing a favorite book face-out. D. You can arrange your books in a way that makes sense to you. E. Here, they share tips on how to refresh your shelves and enjoy your books. F. Organizing books by size can make your shelves look surprisingly attractive. G. Make space for new books by organizing a book exchange with friends or classmates. 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。 Years ago, I faced a significant challenge with my water bills.

In her first math class, Mr. Carter wrote a series of expressions on the blackboard. While most of her classmates nodded and took notes, Lena felt as if she were listening to a “foreign language”. The symbols “x” and “y” danced before her eyes, and she couldn’t follow the steps Mr. Carter explained. The confusion only grew when she sat down to do her homework. For two hours she remained at her desk, staring at the textbook and the blank pages of her notebook. Every problem seemed unsolvable. She read the same question at least ten times, yet she still couldn’t work it out. Upset and ashamed, she never felt so stuck in a subject. Weeks passed, and Lena’s anxiety about math got worse. She was afraid to raise her hand in class, worried that her questions would sound stupid. One day, Mr. Carter randomly called on her to answer a question. Lena stood up, her face burning with embarrassment for she was totally clueless about the answer. “Even a primary student knows that!” a boy named Jax sneered (嘲讽) loudly. Lena bit her lip and sank back into her seat with her head hanging low. Soon the first math exam took place. It came as no surprise that Lena got a bright red “D” on her paper. Tears welled in her eyes as she balled up the paper and stuffed it into her bag. Seeing this, Mr. Carter asked Lena to stay after class. Instead of criticizing her, he said gently, “I notice you’ve been struggling, Lena. Math can be tough at first. Like learning to play a musical instrument, it requires the right method and consistent practice.” He told Lena that he had talked to Zoe, the top math student in the class, who agreed to help her. The next day, Mr. Carter rearranged the seats, and Zoe became Lena’s new deskmate. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Each afternoon, the two girls sat side by side, diving into math together.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The results of the final math exam came out. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荥阳高中2025—2026学年下期期中考试试题 英语答案 听力：（满分30分） 1-5 ABCAA 6-10 ABCCB 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 BBCAA 阅读：（满分50分） 21-23 DBA 24-27 CADA 28-31 CDCA 32-35 DDBA 36-40 EADCG 完形填空：（满分15分） 41—45 CCDBA 46—50 CDDBC 51—55 ABBDA 语法填空：（满分15分） 56. where 57. a 58. to lift 59. particularly 60.

All students took an active part in the competition in groups. The competition started at 7 p.m. and lasted two hours. Students from each group were required to sing their favorite English song within 5 minutes. In addition, Their wonderful performances made all of us thrilled. After heated competition, the first 3 winners were chosen and given prizes. To sum up, The activity was highly spoken of because not only did it enrich our school life, but it also developed our love for English, evoking our love for English culture. 作文范文二（满分25分） Each afternoon, the two girls sat side by side, diving into math together. Zoe never laughed at Lena’s slow progress or silly questions. Instead, she explained each problem patiently, drawing pictures to make difficult concepts easier to understand. When Lena got stuck, Zoe encouraged her to try again, breaking down steps until she got it right. Lena also worked hard, taking detailed notes and practicing extra problems every night. Gradually, the “foreign language” of math became familiar, and she even started to feel a little excited when solving a tough question. Jax’s sneers faded, replaced by his surprised glances at Lena’s growing confidence. The results of the final math exam came out. Lena’s hands shook as she picked up her paper, and a bright smile spread across her face when she saw a solid “B”. Tears of joy welled in her eyes — she had finally overcome her fear of math. She ran to thank Zoe, who hugged her happily, and then found Mr. Carter to share the good news. He patted her shoulder proudly, saying her hard work had paid off. Lena realized that with kindness, encouragement and perseverance, no difficulty was insurmountable. 听力材料 1. M: Do you have a partner for the English school exchange program?

It can be difficult for new students to find their way around, so we’re taking you on this quick walk. The college used to have four departments: English, French, German, and Russian. However, with more students wanting to learn different languages, we have recently added a Chinese department. At the moment, we’re outside your department, the English department, which is the largest department in the college. There are over 75 students in each grade, and we have 35 teachers, including 15 professors. The teachers come from different countries, mainly from the USA and Canada, with a few from England and Australia. This means you can hear different accents and learn in various ways. You’ll have all your classes here in this building. Now let’s walk over to the main library, which is the largest building in the college, just next to the English department building. The library has a lot of books and online resources to help you with your studies. It also has quiet areas for studying, rooms for group discussions, and computer stations. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
