They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them. ASPECT GEN ALPHA OVERVIEW Tech Usage 65% use tablets/smartphones daily; 50% use voice assistants Education 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning Social Media 40% of kids aged 8 to 11 have a social media presence Entertainment 70% of screen time is on social media platforms While Gen Alpha are still young, they are pushing their parents to try new things. A report released by public relations firm DKC in July, 2025 said parents were having new experiences thanks to the influence of their Gen Alpha kids. For example, 40% of the parents surveyed said they had signed up for a subscription service at their kid’s suggestion. (Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.) So, when we look at Gen Alpha, it is pretty clear that they are not just a typical group of kids growing up; they are literally the future of our world. They are the most digital and possibly the most powerful generation we have ever seen. Gen Alpha will surely change education, technology, business and culture itself. While it is still early days, one thing worth anticipating is that instead of just adapting to the world they inherit (继承), they will be more and more influential in shaping the future of the world. 21. What is the percentage of Gen Alpha who study in a mixed way according to the table? A. 40%. B. 50%. C. 65%. D. 70%. 22. In which aspect do Gen Alpha impact on their parents most according to the chart? A. Trying foods. B. Buying items during drops. C. Watching sports. D. Choosing holiday destinations. 23. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To display characteristics of a new generation. B. To describe an economic trend of consumption. C. To clarify the gap between Gen Alpha and Gen Y. D. To introduce a technology-related education system. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍阿尔法世代的成长环境、生活学习特点，说明他们对父母的影响，并指出他们将深刻塑造世界未来。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中表格信息“Education: 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning(教育：70%的阿尔法世代采用线上与线下相结合的混合学习方式)”可知，采用混合方式学习的阿尔法世代占比为70%。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中括号内提示“Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.(从下面的条形图中找到更多调查案例。)”以及结合图表信息可知，“Trying different foods(尝试不同的食物)”是阿尔法世代对父母影响比例最高的方面。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是第一段“When we talk about generations, one generation stands out more than any else, Generation Alpha, or Gen Alpha. They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them.(谈到不同世代，有一代人尤为突出，那就是阿尔法世代（Gen Alpha）。他们是2010年及以后出生的孩子，到2025年，总人口已达22亿。与他们的父母Y世代不同，阿尔法世代是在iPad、人工智能和线上课堂已完全普及的环境中成长起来的第一代人。以下是关于他们的数据。)”可知，第一段介绍阿尔法世代的出生时间与成长环境，表格展示其科技使用、教育、社交媒体、娱乐等特点，第二段讲述他们对父母的影响，最后一段评价他们是数字化程度最高的一代并将塑造未来。综合可知，文章意在展示新的一代人——阿尔法世代的特征。故选A项。 B Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us. Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language. Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language. However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship. I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path. My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life. 24. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience? A. He liked the colorful covers of books. B. He preferred to read with great passion. C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents. D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books. 25. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language? A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst. C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice. 26. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal? A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments. C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions. 27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life. B. He will go on pursuing the art of language. C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices. D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了姑姑凯特通过朗读与耐心引导，点燃自己对文字与书籍热爱的经历；同时作者的喜爱也助力姑姑实现了儿童文学作家的梦想，最终作者决心一生追寻语言艺术。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on.(小时候，我喜欢书主要是因为里面漂亮的插图，比如动物、孩子、风景等等。)”可知，作者早期阅读时喜欢书中的精美图画。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited my love of books and language.(而我的姑姑则会兴致勃勃地给我读故事，这激发了我对书籍和语言的热爱。)”以及第三段“Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions.(即便在我能够自己阅读的时候，她仍然会留意我读的内容，并且有时还会给出一些建议。) ”和“The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language.(事实上，从我姑姑第一次满足我对一本写得好的书的渴望开始，我就开始了一段探索语言之美的旅程。)”可知，是姑姑耐心的引导激发了作者探索语言之美。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer.(然而，我当时并不知道，我对她朗读的兴趣，帮助她实现了当儿童文学作家的梦想。)”可知，作者作为听众，支持姑姑实现了目标。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My aunt used to tell me, ‘Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.’ I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life.(姑姑曾对我说：‘语言就像一棵树，根在追寻美好，叶在沐浴美好。’我决定继续深耕，相信美好会在我的生命中显现。)”可知，作者将继续追求语言艺术。故选B。 C When something breaks today, many people simply replace it. A weak phone battery, a leaking coffee maker, or a silent radio often ends up in the trash long before its useful life is over. Yet across many communities, a different habit is returning. At events known as Repair Cafes, people bring broken items to volunteers who help them find the problem and try to fix it. The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200,000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1,100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4,000 repair communities may now be active around the world. A typical repair event is simple. People arrive with lamps, laptops, toys, clothes, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen tools. Instead of paying for an official service, they sit down with volunteers and work through the problem together. Sometimes the repair succeeds quickly. Sometimes it does not. Even then, the process still matters. Owners learn how products are designed, why they fail, and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason, Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume. At the same time, the experience of community repair has exposed a deeper problem in manufacturing. In modern consumer culture, products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened. In 16% of all recorded cases, a repair cannot be completed because the product cannot be opened, and in another 12% of cases, the information needed to complete the repair is missing. In this sense, community repair does more than save objects. It also provides evidence about how products are made and what should change. In an age of fast consumption, these events remind us that value does not disappear the moment something stops working. 28. Why does the author include many figures in paragraph 2? A. To stress the problem of broken items. B. To show the rapid growth of Repair Cafes. C. To compare the costs of different repairs. D. To highlight the impact of throwaway culture. 29. What makes a community repair event special? A. It is more demanding than official service. B. It depends on volunteers to fix the items. C. It follows strict professional guidelines. D. It turns repair into a learning experience. 30. What does the underlined word “opaque” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unclear. B. Familiar. C. Accessible. D. reliable. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Amsterdam: The Birthplace of Modern Repair B. The Rise of Repair Cafes: More than Just Fixing C. Why Community Services Need More Volunteers D. How to Save Money in an Age of Fast Consumption 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍如今流行丢弃旧物的现象，介绍修理咖啡馆的兴起、运作方式，并指出其环保意义与暴露的产品设计问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200,000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1,100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4,000 repair communities may now be active around the world.(这个想法大约15年前起源于阿姆斯特丹，此后广泛传播。开放维修联盟的调查显示，数十个国家的1100多个组织记录了超过20万次维修尝试。该组织估计，目前全球可能有超过4000个维修社区在运行)”可知，作者列举大量数据，是为了说明修理咖啡馆发展速度快、规模不断扩大。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Owners learn how products are designed, why they fail, and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason, Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume.(物品主人能够了解产品的设计原理、损坏原因以及物品维修难易的区别。因此，修理咖啡馆能够实用技能共享，让人们发现很多物品比想象中更好维修)”可知，社区修理活动不仅修理物品，还能让人们学习实用知识，把修理变成学习体验。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“In modern consumer culture, products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened.(在现代消费模式下，产品对普通用户来说往往opaque，就像密封的盒子一样，无法拆开查看内部结构)”可知，此处指产品内部结构看不清、难以了解，opaque意为“不清楚的、难以看懂的”，与unclear意思接近。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合二小题的分析可知，文章主要讲述修理咖啡馆的兴起、运作模式，不仅可以维修物品、减少浪费，还能发现产品设计弊端、传播实用技能，内涵远超单纯修理物品。B项“修理咖啡馆的兴起：不止于维修物品”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。故选B。 D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 32. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 33. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 34. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing causes. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparisons. 35. What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about? A. Possible direction for future study. B. Choice of new research methods. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the finding. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了食盐中广泛含有的钠元素可用于制造钠离子电池，该电池相比锂离子电池耐寒能力更强、低温性能更优越，适合严寒环境下的电动汽车使用，但目前生产成本更高，未来需要在控成本的同时保留低温优势。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system.(在低温环境下，除非电池组配有主动加热系统，否则大多数锂离子电池只能输出原本容量的极小一部分。)” 可知，锂离子电动汽车的动力输出会受到寒冷天气的影响。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does.(虽然钠离子体积更大，但它们与液态电解质形成的结合键比锂离子更弱。)”及“This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.(这使得它们比锂离子移动起来要容易得多，即便低温让电解液变得黏稠时也是如此。)” 可知，钠离子与电解质的相互作用比锂离子更微弱，因此在寒冷环境中运转表现更好。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market.(实验数据表明，在零下30摄氏度时，这款电池的放电功率是同等磷酸铁锂电池的近三倍，而磷酸铁锂电池是主导电动汽车市场的平价标准版电池。)” 可知，作者通过将钠离子电池与锂离子电池进行对比，展现钠离子电池的优越性。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段““We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang (Phate Zhang表示：“我们应当着手研究降低成本，同时保持其在低温下的优异性能。”)” 可知，Phate Zhang提出了未来研究和发展的努力方向。 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。 I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. ____36____ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy. To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ____37____ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic. ____38____ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects. I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ____39____ So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ____40____ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too. A. I threw out obvious offenders. B. We depend heavily on plastics. C. I wanted to make life safer for my children. D. I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives. E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics. F. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic. G. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以作者的个人经历为线索，详细讲述了自己发现塑料危害并尝试远离塑料的过程。 【36题详解】 空格前“I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素)when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics.(我曾经很喜欢我的不粘锅，惊叹于它清洗起来多么容易，直到我了解到它的塑料涂层在加热时可能会释放毒素。于是我开始了一场让生活远离塑料的行动。)”提到作者开始了让生活远离塑料的行动，空格后“But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.(但我仍然不清楚哪种塑料真正危险。我想了解我的‘敌人’。)”提到作者对塑料的危害还不完全了解。A选项“I threw out obvious offenders.(我扔掉了明显有问题的物品。)”中的“obvious offenders”正好指代前文的“nonstick pans”，既承接了前文“让生活远离塑料的行动”，又能自然引出后文“对塑料危害不了解”的内容，完美衔接上下文。故选A项。 【37题详解】 空格前“To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper.(公平地说，塑料是很棒的。轻便、防水且有弹性，塑料让现代生活更安全、更便宜。)”提到塑料的优点，空格后“Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.(醒来18分钟后，我承认失败了。我不能开灯，也不能刷牙。没有内衣或袜子——如果某东西有弹性，那要归功于塑料。)”提到作者尝试远离塑料但失败了。F选项“One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.(有一天，我决定看看自己能多久不用塑料。)”既承接了前文“塑料的优点”，又能自然引出后文“尝试远离塑料但失败”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选F项。 【38题详解】 空格前一段提到作者尝试远离塑料但失败了，空格后“Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects.(甚至人体本身也含有塑料。出于好奇，我想知道自己体内有多少塑料，于是做了检测。结果显示，每毫升血液中含有2.06纳克的PFAS——这是一个“中等”水平，与潜在的不良健康影响风险相关。)”提到人体也含有塑料。G选项“Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.(塑料不仅在我们家里无处不在，而且在所有地方，就这么简单。)”既承接了前文“塑料无处不在”的观点，又能自然引出后文“人体也含有塑料”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选G项。 【39题详解】 空格前“I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head.(然后我咨询了加州大学旧金山分校的特蕾西·伍德拉夫。她说，人们应该尽自己所能。在厨房，选择玻璃容器。在家里的其他地方，用棉毛巾代替微纤维毛巾。伍德拉夫提出的另一个观点让我印象深刻。)”提到作者咨询了专家关于远离塑料的建议，空格后“So I turned my attention to my kids.(于是我把注意力转向了我的孩子。)”提到作者开始关注孩子的塑料接触问题。E选项“Children are among those most at risk from plastics.(儿童是受塑料危害最大的人群之一。)”既承接了前文“专家的建议”，又能自然引出后文“关注孩子的塑料接触问题”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选E项。 【40题详解】 空格前“So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours.(于是我把注意力转向了我的孩子。床单和被子很重要，因为我们长时间近距离接触纤维呼吸。)”提到作者关注孩子的塑料接触问题，尤其是床单和被子，空格后“What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them.(让我担心的是，我的孩子在一个周围所有物体似乎都注定会伤害他们的世界里长大。)”提到作者担心孩子的成长环境。D选项“I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.(我给儿子们换成了天然材质的替代品。)”既承接了前文“关注孩子的床单和被子问题”，又能自然引出后文“担心孩子的成长环境”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(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。 From popular tracks to remote valleys, weary hikers can always find a hut (小屋) to rest in New Zealand’s countryside.

All the students were studying hard for their monthly tests and Yasmin was one of them. She was a nine-year-old, intelligent girl, who always scored high marks in tests and exams. But she was a little weak in history, and because of that, she often got the second position in exams. Finally, the tests started. Each day, Yasmin sat next to Misbah, her best friend, and nervously filled the answer sheets. The last test was history, so the weekend before it, Yasmin reviewed all the major contents but was not confident about her preparation. “I still feel as if I am not ready for the history test tomorrow. I am very weak in it,” she told Ali, her elder brother. “Oh, come on! You always say that and you still pass!” Ali said. The next day, during the assembly (集会), Yasmin learned that their history teacher, Miss Khadija, was absent, so another teacher, Miss Aisha, was assigned to their class. The whole class complained when they heard that Miss Aisha would be invigilating (监考), as she was infamous for being very strict and never giving even a minute of extra time. Yasmin attempted all the questions, except one multiple-choice question. She looked at the clock and realized that only five minutes were left before the teacher would collect the answer sheets. Suddenly, her friend Misbah passed her a note with an answer on it. Yasmin smiled and wrote the answer. But then she remembered that Miss Khadija had once told them, “Be honest rather than clever.” Yasmin took a deep breath and made her choice. She erased the borrowed answer and wrote down the answer she had originally thought of, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Misbah’s eyes widened in disbelief when she noticed this. She opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, the bell rang and Miss Aisha’s sharp voice cut through the silence: “Pencils down! Pass your papers forward!” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Misbah approached Yasmin. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, Yasmin told her mother everything about the exam. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： After school, Misbah approached Yasmin. “Why did you erase it?” she said angrily, frustration tightening her voice. Yasmin shook her head. “Miss Khadija said honesty matters more than marks,” she whispered, her eyes meeting Misbah’s angry gaze. “Even if I fail, I need it to be my answer.” Misbah murmured about wasted chances before storming off, leaving Yasmin alone in the classroom. Finally, Yasmin seemed to have made up her mind, getting out of the classroom. Back home, Yasmin told her mother everything about the exam. “Yasmin, you did the right thing. Marks can be regained, but once integrity is lost, it is hard to restore,” her mother said. In a couple of days, their history teacher Miss Khadija returned with the results. Yasmin looked at her paper and was surprised to see that she had topped the history test! The result made her feel that her commitment to honesty had truly paid off. After class, Misbah slipped her a note that read, “I was wrong — about everything.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以亚斯敏的诚实选择为线索展开，讲述了九岁的亚斯敏聪明好学，但历史成绩稍弱。在历史考试中，她遇到一道不会的选择题，好友米斯巴递来答案纸条，亚斯敏起初写下答案，后想起老师“诚实比聪明更重要”的教诲，擦掉纸条答案，写下自己的想法。考试结束后，米斯巴生气离开，亚斯敏回家告知母亲一切，得到了母亲的赞许。最终亚斯敏不仅历史考了第一名，还得到了米斯巴的道歉，领悟到诚实的价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“放学后，米斯巴走近亚斯敏。”可知，第一段写米斯巴生气地质问亚斯敏为何擦掉答案，亚斯敏解释是遵循老师的教诲，米斯巴愤然离开，亚斯敏坚定了自己的选择。 ② 由第二段首句内容“回到家，亚斯敏把考试的一切都告诉了妈妈。”可知，第二段写妈妈肯定亚斯敏的诚实，历史成绩出来后亚斯敏意外考了第一名，米斯巴也向她道歉，亚斯敏明白诚实终有回报。 2. 续写线索：米斯巴质问——亚斯敏解释——米斯巴离开——亚斯敏告知妈妈——妈妈肯定——公布成绩——亚斯敏夺冠——米斯巴道歉——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①愤然离开：storm off/leave angrily ②下定决心：make up one’s mind/make a resolution ③恢复：restore/bring back 情绪类 ①生气：angrily/indignantly ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] “Why did you erase it?” she said angrily, frustration tightening her voice.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] Marks can be regained, but once integrity is lost, it is hard to restore.（运用了once引导条件状语从句） [高分句型3] The result made her feel that her commitment to honesty had truly paid off.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省响水中学2025~2026学年度第二学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 考生注意： 1. 本试题分第I卷和第II卷，共12页。 2. 满分150分,考试时间为120分钟。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why is the man going to London?

They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them. ASPECT GEN ALPHA OVERVIEW Tech Usage 65% use tablets/smartphones daily; 50% use voice assistants Education 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning Social Media 40% of kids aged 8 to 11 have a social media presence Entertainment 70% of screen time is on social media platforms While Gen Alpha are still young, they are pushing their parents to try new things. A report released by public relations firm DKC in July, 2025 said parents were having new experiences thanks to the influence of their Gen Alpha kids. For example, 40% of the parents surveyed said they had signed up for a subscription service at their kid’s suggestion. (Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.) So, when we look at Gen Alpha, it is pretty clear that they are not just a typical group of kids growing up; they are literally the future of our world. They are the most digital and possibly the most powerful generation we have ever seen. Gen Alpha will surely change education, technology, business and culture itself. While it is still early days, one thing worth anticipating is that instead of just adapting to the world they inherit (继承), they will be more and more influential in shaping the future of the world. 21. What is the percentage of Gen Alpha who study in a mixed way according to the table? A. 40%. B. 50%. C. 65%. D. 70%. 22. In which aspect do Gen Alpha impact on their parents most according to the chart? A. Trying foods. B. Buying items during drops. C. Watching sports. D. Choosing holiday destinations. 23. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To display characteristics of a new generation. B. To describe an economic trend of consumption. C. To clarify the gap between Gen Alpha and Gen Y. D. To introduce a technology-related education system. B Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us. Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language. Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language. However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship. I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path. My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life. 24. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience? A. He liked the colorful covers of books. B. He preferred to read with great passion. C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents. D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books. 25. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language? A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst. C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice. 26. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal? A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments. C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions. 27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life. B. He will go on pursuing the art of language. C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices. D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness. C When something breaks today, many people simply replace it. A weak phone battery, a leaking coffee maker, or a silent radio often ends up in the trash long before its useful life is over. Yet across many communities, a different habit is returning. At events known as Repair Cafes, people bring broken items to volunteers who help them find the problem and try to fix it. The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200,000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1,100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4,000 repair communities may now be active around the world. A typical repair event is simple. People arrive with lamps, laptops, toys, clothes, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen tools. Instead of paying for an official service, they sit down with volunteers and work through the problem together. Sometimes the repair succeeds quickly. Sometimes it does not. Even then, the process still matters. Owners learn how products are designed, why they fail, and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason, Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume. At the same time, the experience of community repair has exposed a deeper problem in manufacturing. In modern consumer culture, products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened. In 16% of all recorded cases, a repair cannot be completed because the product cannot be opened, and in another 12% of cases, the information needed to complete the repair is missing. In this sense, community repair does more than save objects. It also provides evidence about how products are made and what should change. In an age of fast consumption, these events remind us that value does not disappear the moment something stops working. 28. Why does the author include many figures in paragraph 2? A. To stress the problem of broken items. B. To show the rapid growth of Repair Cafes. C. To compare the costs of different repairs. D. To highlight the impact of throwaway culture. 29. What makes a community repair event special? A. It is more demanding than official service. B. It depends on volunteers to fix the items. C. It follows strict professional guidelines. D. It turns repair into a learning experience. 30. What does the underlined word “opaque” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unclear. B. Familiar. C. Accessible. D. reliable. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Amsterdam: The Birthplace of Modern Repair B. The Rise of Repair Cafes: More than Just Fixing C. Why Community Services Need More Volunteers D. How to Save Money in an Age of Fast Consumption D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 32. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 33. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 34. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing causes. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparisons. 35. What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about? A. Possible direction for future study. B. Choice of new research methods. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the finding. 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。 I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. ____36____ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy. To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ____37____ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic. ____38____ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects. I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ____39____ So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ____40____ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too. A. I threw out obvious offenders. B. We depend heavily on plastics. C. I wanted to make life safer for my children. D. I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives. E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics. F. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic. G. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(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。 From popular tracks to remote valleys, weary hikers can always find a hut (小屋) to rest in New Zealand’s countryside.

All the students were studying hard for their monthly tests and Yasmin was one of them. She was a nine-year-old, intelligent girl, who always scored high marks in tests and exams. But she was a little weak in history, and because of that, she often got the second position in exams. Finally, the tests started. Each day, Yasmin sat next to Misbah, her best friend, and nervously filled the answer sheets. The last test was history, so the weekend before it, Yasmin reviewed all the major contents but was not confident about her preparation. “I still feel as if I am not ready for the history test tomorrow. I am very weak in it,” she told Ali, her elder brother. “Oh, come on! You always say that and you still pass!” Ali said. The next day, during the assembly (集会), Yasmin learned that their history teacher, Miss Khadija, was absent, so another teacher, Miss Aisha, was assigned to their class. The whole class complained when they heard that Miss Aisha would be invigilating (监考), as she was infamous for being very strict and never giving even a minute of extra time. Yasmin attempted all the questions, except one multiple-choice question. She looked at the clock and realized that only five minutes were left before the teacher would collect the answer sheets. Suddenly, her friend Misbah passed her a note with an answer on it. Yasmin smiled and wrote the answer. But then she remembered that Miss Khadija had once told them, “Be honest rather than clever.” Yasmin took a deep breath and made her choice. She erased the borrowed answer and wrote down the answer she had originally thought of, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Misbah’s eyes widened in disbelief when she noticed this. She opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, the bell rang and Miss Aisha’s sharp voice cut through the silence: “Pencils down! Pass your papers forward!” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Misbah approached Yasmin. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, Yasmin told her mother everything about the exam. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1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，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I'm going to watch a football match this weekend.
