At a nearby bookshop I paid for a membership card that allows me to borrow two or three books at a time and keep them for a month. Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can reread it anytime you want, but borrowing holds advantages, too. One consideration is space, and in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books. You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way. It is increasingly difficult to choose a good book because there are simply so many out there. Even if you choose only from a narrow area of interest, singling out 40 is challenging. Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard. But you cannot judge a book by its review. What I do is try to find and borrow the book from the bookshop. Some are like fast food: you leaf through the pages and finish them in a flash. Some are strong in certain chapters but weak in others. Some have titles that scream at you but lack substance. I cut my losses by perusing (精读) on the spot or borrowing. Of the 40 I read from cover to cover, I bought four I thought were worth keeping. Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure. 41. How many advantages of owning a book are mentioned in Para. 2? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 42. What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” in Para. 2 mean? A. Matters a lot. B. Needs improvement. C. Exists for long. D. Creates confusion. 43. What is Para. 3 mainly focused on? A. The importance of rereading. B. An introduction to quick reading. C. The difficulties of finishing a book. D. An advantage of borrowing books to read. 44. What is the author’s attitude to book reviews? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 45. What is exciting about the author’s experience in the bookshop? A. He came across some nice books unexpectedly. B. He built up the habit of perusing on the spot. C. He found some books with great titles. D. He read 40 books from cover to cover. C Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.” The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.” This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone. The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class. 46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2? A. Its function. B. Its prospect. C. Its developing history. D. Its production material. 47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design 48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student? A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery. B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life. C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home. D. It allows the student to make more new friends. 49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like? A. To hold more advanced computer parts. B. To offer kids support and companionship. C. To make it tough enough against falls. D. To attract more attention in the classroom. 50. What is the best title for the text? A. The Development of Smart Robots. B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education. C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses. D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life. D What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences. Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce! Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it. 51. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom? A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence. C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom. 52. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve? A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons. C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions. 53. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience? A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling. C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection. 54. What else is important for true wisdom? A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge. C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control. 55. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author? A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments. C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 In the early 2010s, I was sent to live in rural Florida. One day, I received a bowl full of wild turkey eggs from a tractor driver. I had to act fast, buying an incubator (孵化器) at short notice and turning the eggs twice a day, as a turkey hen would I would regularly “talk” to them, recreating the sounds a wild turkey would make on its nest, in order to get the eggs accustomed to my voice. A week or so into the experiment, I started to hear responses from them and the first tiny beak (喙) broke through. Soon, I had a new family of 16 wild turkeys. I built a large pen (围栏) to protect these lovely birds, complete with upright branches for them to rest on; at a week and a half old, they could already fly. During the day we explored the surrounding countryside. I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels. While living with the turkeys, I discovered their communication was far subtler than I’d realised. For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes. After six months, I had a good ear for different sounds, though occasionally I’d miscall and get a very different reaction from the one I’d expected. The project lasted two years. The turkeys grew fast, but my separation from them began when they started roosting in trees outside their pen, where I could not follow. I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent. In the end, I reached the conclusion that turkeys were clever birds. 56. What did the author do with wild turkey eggs after receiving them? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 57. What was the author’s relationship with the turkeys? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “discern” probably mean in Para. 3? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________ 59. Why did the author feel a sense of relief? (no more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 60. What quality of the author do you admire most in the story? Please give your reason. (No more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国朋友Chris是你们学校“中英青少年体育文化交流项目”的英方联络人。他发来邮件，希望了解你校近期开展的校园体育文化活动。请你回复邮件，内容包括： 1．介绍一项特色活动或举措，并说明它带来的积极影响； 2．结合你自身的经历或感受，谈体育运动的益处； 3．就如何营造热爱运动的氛围，提出你的想法。 注意： 1．词数不少于100； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I’m so glad to receive your email and know that you’re interested in our school’s sports culture promotion. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天津市东丽区2026年高三质量调研试卷（二） 英语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共130分，考试用时100分钟。第Ⅰ卷1—10页，第Ⅱ卷11—12页。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 1. — Mr. Ward, that machine is expensive, but we really need it for our research. — ______, Monica.

At a nearby bookshop I paid for a membership card that allows me to borrow two or three books at a time and keep them for a month. Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can reread it anytime you want, but borrowing holds advantages, too. One consideration is space, and in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books. You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way. It is increasingly difficult to choose a good book because there are simply so many out there. Even if you choose only from a narrow area of interest, singling out 40 is challenging. Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard. But you cannot judge a book by its review. What I do is try to find and borrow the book from the bookshop. Some are like fast food: you leaf through the pages and finish them in a flash. Some are strong in certain chapters but weak in others. Some have titles that scream at you but lack substance. I cut my losses by perusing (精读) on the spot or borrowing. Of the 40 I read from cover to cover, I bought four I thought were worth keeping. Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure. 41. How many advantages of owning a book are mentioned in Para. 2? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 42. What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” in Para. 2 mean? A. Matters a lot. B. Needs improvement. C. Exists for long. D. Creates confusion. 43. What is Para. 3 mainly focused on? A. The importance of rereading. B. An introduction to quick reading. C. The difficulties of finishing a book. D. An advantage of borrowing books to read. 44. What is the author’s attitude to book reviews? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 45. What is exciting about the author’s experience in the bookshop? A. He came across some nice books unexpectedly. B. He built up the habit of perusing on the spot. C. He found some books with great titles. D. He read 40 books from cover to cover. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过借书而非买书阅读的经历与感悟。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart's content, and you can reread it anytime you want(拥有一本书有它的好处，比如你可以随心所欲地做笔记，而且你可以随时重读)”可知，文章提到了两个好处：一是可以随心做笔记，二是可以随时重读。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第二段中“in my city where a foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books(在我的城市，一英尺土地值一英寸黄金，说到拥有书籍，这个问题就speaks volumes)”可知，在寸土寸金的城市，书籍占据空间的问题非常重要，故speaks volumes意为“非常重要、很有分量”。Matters a lot与之吻合。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第三段中“People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before the due date. I finished about 10 more books that way.(人们倾向于比自己拥有的书更快读完借来的书，主要是因为截止日期的压力。一年中有好几次，我在到期前一晚熬夜读完一本书。用这种方式我多读完了大约10本书。)”可知，第三段主要讲述借书阅读的一个优势——借阅的截止日期促使人们更快读完书。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中“Book reviews and the comments readers leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard.(书评和读者在网上书店留下的评论在这方面很有帮助。)”以及第五段中“But you cannot judge a book by its review.(但不能仅凭书评评判一本书。)”可知，作者既认可书评有参考价值，又认为不能完全依赖书评，态度客观中立。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but happened upon them in the bookshop. That unpredictability is one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure.(奇怪的是，我并没有打算读那四本书，而是在书店里偶然发现的。这种不可预测性是这次阅读冒险中令人兴奋的部分之一。)”可知，令作者兴奋的是在书店意外发现了好书。 C Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.” The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.” This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone. The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class. 46. What can we know about AV1 in Para.2? A. Its function. B. Its prospect. C. Its developing history. D. Its production material. 47. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design 48. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student? A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery. B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life. C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home. D. It allows the student to make more new friends. 49. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like? A. To hold more advanced computer parts. B. To offer kids support and companionship. C. To make it tough enough against falls. D. To attract more attention in the classroom. 50. What is the best title for the text? A. The Development of Smart Robots. B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education. C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses. D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍AV1机器人的工作原理、功能优势、设计特点，它能帮助长期养病的孩子远程融入校园生活、减少孤独感。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.(多尔瓦解释了AV1机器人如何工作。她说孩子在家可以用平板或手机启动机器人，再用同一设备操控它的行动，在学校里机器人就成了孩子的眼睛、耳朵和声音。)”可知，第二段主要讲解AV1机器人的工作方式与功用。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.(学生无论在养病的任何地方都能参与课堂活动。这款机器人配备扬声器、麦克风和摄像头，让沟通变得十分便捷。)”可知，结合上下文语境，生病学生可借助机器人参与课堂活动，由此可推断，partake in的意思为“参加、参与”，和take part in意思一致。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone.(这种顺畅的互动帮助孩子跟上课程进度、自由参与小组讨论、甚至和班上同学分享小快乐。它拉近了休养地与学校之间的距离，让他们与校园生活紧密相连，不会独自被边缘化。)”可知，顺畅互动能帮助养病学生和校园生活保持紧密联系。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.(AV1体型偏大且外形酷似人类是有缘由的。多尔瓦称这一点十分重要，因为这款机器人理应成为孩子们的朋友。)”可知，将AV1设计成人形，是为了给孩子陪伴与精神支持。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1.(如今，在医院或家中康复的长期患病儿童，可以拥有一位高科技伙伴来减少孤独感，这位伙伴就是名叫AV1的机器人。)”以及后文依次介绍它的工作原理、功能作用、交互优势和拟人设计用意可知，文章围绕AV1机器人展开，介绍它成为患病孩子衔接校园生活的纽带，所以“AV1: A Bridge to School Life(AV1：通往校园生活的桥梁)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences. Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce! Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it. 51. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom? A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence. C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom. 52. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve? A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons. C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions. 53. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience? A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling. C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection. 54. What else is important for true wisdom? A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge. C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control. 55. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author? A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments. C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge. 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【导语】主要探讨智慧与聪明的真正内涵，阐述深度反思、自律自控及乐观心态对拥有人生智慧的重要意义。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.(蒙田认为，凡是愿意且能够对自身经历进行良好反思的人，都可以拥有智慧。)”可知，蒙田认为智慧源于深刻的自我反思。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced.(良好的反思不只是留意带给自己不同感受的事情，而是要理解事物可归结出的最根本要素。)”可知，良好反思的核心是挖掘事物的根本要素。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Reflecting well  means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!(善于反思，绝不仅仅是留意那些让你产生种种情绪的事。它意味着，要看透这些事背后最本质的核心。 当你意识到：自己在阿姆斯特丹的冯德伦公园时满心欢喜，并非因为身处假期、离家数百公里，而是因为置身于大自然之中，这多么值得欣喜啊！毕竟，这种愉悦的条件其实更容易复刻。)”可知，作者举例是为了阐释真正反思的本质。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline.(智慧需要人们调整生活、善用自我认知，而这反过来需要自律。)”以及“One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. (我今年收获的最宝贵感悟之一，就是克制住上网刷东西的冲动，让自己摆脱了虚拟世界的牢牢束缚。)”可知，真正的智慧需要强大的自我约束与自控力。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.(如今我认同蒙田的观点，智慧最确切的标志是开朗豁达。在我眼中，真正聪明的人即便闹出撞杆、绊脚的尴尬状况，也能一笑置之。)”可知，作者认为聪明的人面对尴尬时刻能保持乐观豁达。 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 In the early 2010s, I was sent to live in rural Florida. One day, I received a bowl full of wild turkey eggs from a tractor driver. I had to act fast, buying an incubator (孵化器) at short notice and turning the eggs twice a day, as a turkey hen would I would regularly “talk” to them, recreating the sounds a wild turkey would make on its nest, in order to get the eggs accustomed to my voice. A week or so into the experiment, I started to hear responses from them and the first tiny beak (喙) broke through. Soon, I had a new family of 16 wild turkeys. I built a large pen (围栏) to protect these lovely birds, complete with upright branches for them to rest on; at a week and a half old, they could already fly. During the day we explored the surrounding countryside. I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels. While living with the turkeys, I discovered their communication was far subtler than I’d realised. For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes. After six months, I had a good ear for different sounds, though occasionally I’d miscall and get a very different reaction from the one I’d expected. The project lasted two years. The turkeys grew fast, but my separation from them began when they started roosting in trees outside their pen, where I could not follow. I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent. In the end, I reached the conclusion that turkeys were clever birds. 56. What did the author do with wild turkey eggs after receiving them? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 57. What was the author’s relationship with the turkeys? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 58.

(no more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 60. What quality of the author do you admire most in the story? Please give your reason.

(我必须立刻行动，临时买来一台孵化器，像雌野火鸡那样每天把蛋翻动两次。我还会经常对着蛋轻声“说话”，模仿野火鸡在巢穴里发出的声音，好让这些火鸡蛋熟悉我的声音。)”可知，作者收到野生火鸡蛋后对其进行孵化并和蛋说话交流。 【57题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段中“During the day we explored the surrounding countryside. I quickly became familiar with each bird’s personality: Little Friend, who always wanted to be by my side; Sweet Pea, who enjoyed being held and softly touched; Rosita, who was fascinated by squirrels. (白天，我们一起在郊外四处闲逛。我很快摸清了每只小火鸡的性格：小伙伴总爱寸步不离跟着我；甜豆喜欢被我抱在怀里、轻轻抚摸；罗西塔则对松鼠格外着迷。)”可知，作者和火鸡关系亲密且相处十分融洽。 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中“For example, we encountered many snakes as we explored and I was soon able to discern the different sounds they made. I also identified various sounds of snakes.(外出途中遇到很多蛇，作者很快能够discern它们发出的不同声音，还能分辨蛇的各类声音)”可知，后文出现近义词identified，结合语境能分辨不同声音，由此可推知，画线词意思是“识别、分辨”。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“I felt a sense of relief at having kept them alive long enough to become independent.(作者把火鸡养大，等到它们能够独立生存时，内心感到十分宽慰)”可知，作者感到欣慰是因为火鸡已经能够独立生活了。 【60题详解】 考查开放问答。根据第四段中“The project lasted two years.(这项照顾火鸡的事持续了两年)”以及全文作者悉心照料火鸡的行为可知，作者极具耐心，坚持两年用心照料这些小鸟，令人敬佩。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国朋友Chris是你们学校“中英青少年体育文化交流项目”的英方联络人。他发来邮件，希望了解你校近期开展的校园体育文化活动。请你回复邮件，内容包括： 1．介绍一项特色活动或举措，并说明它带来的积极影响； 2．结合你自身的经历或感受，谈体育运动的益处； 3．就如何营造热爱运动的氛围，提出你的想法。 注意： 1．词数不少于100； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I’m so glad to receive your email and know that you’re interested in our school’s sports culture promotion. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】One possible version: Dear Chris, I’m so glad to receive your email and know that you’re interested in our school’s sports culture promotion. Recently, our school started the “Sunshine Sports Hour”, requiring every student to exercise for at least one hour daily after class. This initiative has greatly boosted students’ physical fitness and relieved academic pressure. Personally, I benefit a lot from it. As a regular basketball player, I find that sports not only build up my body but also teach me the importance of teamwork and perseverance. Whenever I feel stressed, sweating on the court always cheers me up. To create a better atmosphere, I suggest organizing more inter-class matches and sports festivals. This will surely inspire more students to fall in love with sports.
