Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people. Nymph of the Luo River — Gu Kaizhi The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and a common person. Gu Kaizhi was moved by the story and illustrated the poem. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers — Zhou Fang During the Tang Dynasty, the kind of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks of this kind. In this painting, the ladies stand as though they were fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog. Along the River During the Qingming Festival — Zhang Zeduan Zhang Zeduan depicted (描绘) the landscape in his work Along the RiverDuring the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains — Wang Ximeng Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He created this artwork when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history. 1. What is Nymph of the Luo River based on? A. A story of a poor family. B. A poem about a love story. C. The artist’s view on the society. D. The artist’s personal experience. 2.

Which is your best choice if you want to enjoy a painting about nature? A. Nymph of the Luo River. B. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. C. Along the River During the Qingming Festival. D. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了中国历史上四位著名画家及其代表作品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Nymph of the Luo River — Gu Kaizhi部分中的“Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and a common person. Gu Kaizhi was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.(后来，他创作了一首关于女神与凡人之间的爱情的情感诗。顾恺之被这个故事感动了，并为这首诗配了插图)”可知，《洛神赋图》是根据一首关于爱情故事的诗创作的。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Along the River During the Qingming Festival — Zhang Zeduan部分中的“Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.(张择端在《清明上河图》中描绘了风景。然而，他没有专注于大自然的广阔，而是捕捉了今天开封汴京人民的日常生活)”可知，张择端通过他的画描绘了人们的日常生活。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains — Wang Ximeng部分中的“Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He created this artwork when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.(官员和学者不仅喜欢听音乐，还喜欢描绘自然。王希孟就是其中一位画家。他创作这幅作品时只有十七岁。几年后他去世了，但他留下了中国历史上最大、最美丽的画作之一)”可知，如果你想欣赏一幅展现自然美的画，王希孟的《千里江山图》是最好的选择。故选B。 B If your yard is tiny, Jordan Karambelas has a suggestion for growing food organically: a goodlooking aquaponics (鱼菜共生) system that uses recycled water enriched by fish waste to water vegetables planted above. Jordan Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School, started a Permaculture (永续栽培) Club at the school this year to make her fellow students more aware of suitable ways to grow food, which is kind to the environment. Her work was inspired by Mike Garcia, who has spent many years working on water conservation and recycling methods. With Garcia’s help, they completed the project in just a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered (双层的) ,4-by-8-foot redwood structure that would easily fit in a tiny yard. Many of the materials were donated, Karambelas said, but it would have cost her about $1,500 to build the structure at full price. The materials included 26 redwood boards, a PVC pipe, 40 small goldfish and a pump (泵). The lower box is filled with water and the little fish. Garcia helped set up the pump so that the water could be delivered to the planting boxes above. The runoff goes back into the fish tank, keeping the water full of air. If the water level gets too low in the fish tank, the pump automatically draws from the city water. So far the student response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she is hoping it creates enough interest to increase membership in her new club next year. Karambelas has big plans to rebuild the broken greenhouse and abandoned raised beds in the courtyard and replant them all using recycled water. This summer will be the test to see how much water her aquaponics system requires, but she plans to visit frequently and hopefully expects good organic products. 4. Why did Karambelas start the club? A. To make good use of her yard. B. To show a newly-made system. C. To promote an eco-friendly idea. D. To provide food growing places. 5. What is the feature of Karambelas’s system? A. Space-saving. B. Time-wasting. C. Outdated. D. Profitable. 6. What can the pump do in the system? A. Send waste into the city water. B. Draw air from the planting boxes. C. Push water to the planting boxes. D. Get fresh water out of the city water. 7. Which words can best describe Karambelas? A. Modest and brave. B. Loyal and funny. C. Curious and honest. D. Ambitious and positive. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了米拉科斯塔高中的学生乔丹·卡拉姆贝拉斯受到迈克·加西亚的启发，创办了永续栽培俱乐部，搭建双层有机鱼菜共生系统的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Jordan Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School, started a Permaculture (永续栽培) Club at the school this year to make her fellow students more aware of suitable ways to grow food, which is kind to the environment.(乔丹・卡拉姆贝拉斯是米拉科斯塔高中的三年级学生，她于今年在校内成立了永续栽培俱乐部，旨在让同学们更深入地了解适宜的食物种植方式 —— 这种方式对环境十分友好)”可知，卡拉姆贝拉斯成立俱乐部是为了推广环保理念。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With Garcia’s help, they completed the project in just a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered (双层的) ,4-by-8-foot redwood structure that would easily fit in a tiny yard.(在加西亚的协助下，他们仅用一个周末就完成了这个项目 —— 搭建出一座美观的双层红杉结构装置，尺寸为4英尺×8英尺，即便在狭小的庭院里也能轻松容纳)”可知，该系统体型小巧，能适配小型空间，体现出“节省空间(space-saving)”的特点。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Garcia helped set up the pump so that the water could be delivered to the planting boxes above.(加西亚帮助安装了水泵，以便将水输送到上面的种植箱)”可知，水泵的功能是将下方鱼缸中的水输送到上层种植箱。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。从文中最后一段“Karambelas has big plans to rebuild the broken greenhouse and abandoned raised beds in the courtyard and replant them all using recycled water. This summer will be the test to see how much water her aquaponics system requires, but she plans to visit frequently and hopefully expects good organic products.(卡拉姆贝拉斯有个宏大计划：重建庭院里破旧的温室与废弃的高床种植槽，并采用再生水为所有作物重新栽种。今年夏天将是一场测试，用来确定她的鱼菜共生系统需要多少水量。不过她打算常去查看，也满心期待能收获优质的有机农产。)”可推断出，卡拉姆贝拉斯的品质：一方面，她有庞大的计划，可以体现她是富有雄心壮志的(ambitious)；另一方面，她对未来的有机产品充满期待，可以体现她的心态是积极的(positive)。故选D。 C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖). Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be a priority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rules — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures. they are much better than none at all. 8. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. Rising childhood obesity is under control internationally. B. Doctors advise regular blood pressure checks for kids. C. Fewer primary students suffer from obesity in England. D. The new rules are mainly meant to cut TV programme time. 10. Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍英国推出严格规则禁止垃圾食品广告以保护儿童免受肥胖风险，分析规则出台原因、影响及相关争议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm.(从本周起，英国推出了严格的规则来保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告的影响。13类加工食品和饮料的广告，如含糖软饮料、薯片和巧克力，在网上被禁止，且只能在晚上9点后在电视上播放)”以及第二段中的“The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖).(原因是儿童肥胖率上升)”可知，英国新规则的主要目的是保护儿童免受肥胖风险。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it.(我们上周的独家报道强调了医生们呼吁对儿童进行常规血压检测，强调了肥胖的危害以及预防肥胖的必要性)”可知，医生建议对儿童进行定期血压检测。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones....Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects.(肥胖加剧了社会不平等，贫困地区的肥胖率是富裕地区的两倍。……就像赌博或吸烟一样，不健康加工食品对本已困难的家庭造成的不均衡影响是其最具破坏性的影响之一)”可知，作者在第三段提到赌博和吸烟，是为了强调垃圾食品对穷人的危害。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中的“From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising-Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm.(从本周起，英国推出了严格的规则来保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告的影响——13类加工食品和饮料的广告，如含糖软饮料、薯片和巧克力，在网上被禁止，且只能在晚上9点后在电视上播放)”可知，文章围绕英国推出的严格规则展开，介绍了规则的内容、出台的原因（应对儿童肥胖）、影响及相关争议，核心是英国通过限制垃圾食品广告来应对儿童肥胖问题。D选项“应对肥胖：英国的新广告规则”准确概括了文章核心内容，适合作本文标题。 D There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be very useful for astronomers. It can clearly show both extremely bright celestial bodies (天体) and not very bright objects in the same photo, and can also track fast-moving celestial bodies without motion-caused unclear images. Traditional digital cameras work by checking pixels (像素) many times per second, recording data from every pixel each time. These new cameras, known as event cameras, work differently: A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. This is similar to how human eyes collect sensory information. This working method has advantages. For the same video, it stores less data as it only records pixels with changing brightness, and it can operate at a much higher rate. In addition, such cameras can show not very bright objects even with very bright ones nearby — these bright objects would cause overexposure in images taken by traditional cameras. This is because its pixels detect light in a different way instead of following a linear scale. To explore the potential of this technology in astronomy, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Siria binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B. Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. Meanwhile, Singh Thakur added, “These cameras are also excellent at detecting fast-moving objects due to their higher rates. You can shoot at very high speeds and still get fast-moving objects. Ordinary cameras would only produce unclear images.” 12. How does the author begin paragraph 1? A. By listing statistics. B. By giving a definition. C. By describing a phenomenon. D. By drawing a comparison. 13. Which statement fits the event cameras’ working mode? A. They check pixels constantly. B. They tend to store the same data. C. They focus on changing brightness data. D. They record stable pixels’ locations. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about the event cameras? A. Their major components. B. Their installation process. C. Their potential advantages. D. Their practical application. 15. What is Mark Norris’s attitude to the event cameras? A. Approving. B. Watchful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种工作方式类似人眼的新型相机，这种相机对天文学颇具价值。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be very useful for astronomers. (有一种新型照相机的工作原理与人眼相似，这对天文学家来说可能非常有用)”可知，作者通过将这种新型相机的工作方式与人眼的工作方式进行比较，引出了这种新型相机的特性及其对天文学的潜在价值。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“These new cameras, known as event cameras, work differently: A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. This is similar to how human eyes collect sensory information. (这些被称为“事件相机”（event camera）的新相机的工作方式有所不同：只有当像素所在位置的亮度发生变化时，才会检查像素。如果传感器上某一点的亮度与之前的读数相同，则不存储新数据。这与人眼收集感官信息的方式类似)”可知，只有当某个像素位置的亮度发生变化时，这种新型相机才会检查该像素。如果传感器上某一点的亮度与前一次读数相同，新数据则不会被存储下来。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To explore the potential of this technology in astronomy, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Siria binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B. (为了探索这项技术在天文学上的潜力，印度科学研究所的Chetan Singh Thakur和他的同事们在印度的两台望远镜上分别安装了这些相机。他们成功地拍摄了地球和月球之间物体的清晰图像，并拍摄了由夜空中最亮的天狼星A和天狼星B组成的天狼星双星系统的照片)”可知，本段主要描述了这种新型相机在天文学中的实际应用。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. (没有参与这项研究的英国中央兰开夏大学的马克·诺里斯指出，天狼星A的亮度大约是天狼星B的1万倍，这意味着传统的传感器无法在一张照片中清楚地显示两者)”可知，Mark Norris指出，天狼星A的亮度约为天狼星B亮度的10,000倍，这意味着传统传感器永远无法在一张照片中同时清晰呈现二者。由此可知，他对事件相机持认可的态度。故选A。 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 Bird watching is an enjoyable and relaxing hobby that connects you with nature.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者的父亲去世后，不擅长园艺的母亲坚持在阳光房里种植植物，以此纪念热爱园艺的父亲。多年后母亲因病住院，作者在照顾母亲、孩子和工作之余，通过照料母亲的植物（尤其是蕨类）获得心灵慰藉。尽管母亲病情恶化，作者决定继承这份园艺天赋，将其作为未来心灵的安宁之源。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我的父母已经根据我们特定的需求和兴趣对它进行了改造，包括内置书架来容纳他们成百上千本书还有一间宽敞明亮的阳光房，用来庇护我热爱园艺的父亲计划种植的所有植物。A. urgent紧急的；B. particular特定的，特别的；C. basic基本的；D. possible可能的。后文“including built-in bookshelves ”以及“a large, bright sunroom”具体列举了“内置书架”和“明亮的阳光房”这两个改造项目，这些都是为了满足家人“藏书”和“父亲园艺”这些特定的需求和兴趣。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意同上。A. house容纳，存放；B. expand扩展；C. purchase购买；D. hide隐藏。前文提到书架是“built-in bookshelves”（内置书架），其功能自然是用来“存放(house)”书籍。且后文“their hundreds of books”也提示了书籍数量多，需要书架来容纳。 【23题详解】 ​ 考查动词。句意：不幸的是，几个月后，一次心脏病发作夺去了他的生命。A. wasted浪费；B. affected影响；C. threatened威胁；D. claimed声称；夺去（生命）。根据前文“a heart attack”与后文“his life”可推断父亲去世了，常用“claim one’s life”表示“夺去生命”。 【24题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：母亲向来不擅长养花种草。A. golden touch点金术；B. silver tongue能言善辩；C. blue blood贵族血统；D. green thumb擅长园艺。后文明确提到母亲“filled our sunroom with low-light plants like ferns (蕨类植物), which constantly died off.”，说明母亲没有园艺天赋。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：她没有放弃，而是坚持了很多年，最终通过反复试验变得更擅长了。A. recovered恢复；B. changed改变；C. insisted坚持；D. waited等待。前句“Instead of giving up”直接提示了母亲的态度是“坚持”。且后文“over years and eventually got better”描述了“坚持多年最终有改善”的过程。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：她没有放弃，而是坚持了很多年，最终通过反复试验变得更擅长了。A. proof证明；B. trial试验；C. prediction预测；D. reaction反应。母亲一开始植物总是养死，后来变好，这是一个不断尝试、从错误中学习的过程。“trial and error”是固定搭配，意为“反复试验”。 【27题详解】 ​ 考查名词。句意：她从未明确说过她想成为一个更好的园丁是为了保存对我父亲的记忆，但我知道，看到那些植物能让她想起他们快乐的时光。A. books书；B. sunlight阳光；C. plants植物；D. home家。本段及全文核心都围绕母亲在父亲留下的“阳光房”里养“植物”。前文提到父亲是“garden-loving”，且母亲不断尝试养植物。因此，“植物”是连接父亲记忆的核心物。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：对她来说，至少房间里一直有植物生长，这是一种慰藉。A. comfort安慰，慰藉；B. promise承诺；C. reward回报；D. habit习惯。根据前文“the sight of the ____ could call to mind their happy time”以及后文“part of the room always had plants growing in it.”可知，因此，房间里一直有植物生长，这对失去丈夫的母亲来说，是一种精神上的“慰藉”。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：去年，妈妈经历了一系列的跌倒，这使她住进了医院。A. identified识别；B. delivered递送；C. landed使陷入（某种境地）；D. limited限制。前文“a series of falls”是导致后文“in hospital”的原因，landed符合“意外导致住院”的语境。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于我完全忙于照顾她、抚养孩子和工作，我感到筋疲力尽，几乎要崩溃。A. disappointed失望的；B. occupied忙碌的；C. bored无聊的；D. associated关联的。后文“with tending her, raising kids and working”具体列举了作者同时要做的三件事，这让他非常“忙碌(occupied)”。且“be occupied with”是固定搭配，意为“忙于做某事”。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于我完全忙于照顾她、抚养孩子和工作，我感到筋疲力尽，几乎要崩溃。A. moved感动的；B. confused困惑的；C. annoyed恼怒的；D. exhausted筋疲力尽的。前句“complete ____ with tending her, raising kids and working”以及后文的“to the point of breaking down”都直接说明作者的状态是过度劳累、筋疲力尽。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：神奇的是，当我照料她的植物时，尤其是她那些巨大的蕨类植物——现在被放在一个更合适的阴凉处——我总是能重新充满活力。A. Logically合乎逻辑地；B. Systematically系统地；C. Magically神奇地；D. Consequently因此。本句前后存在转折或对比关系。前句说作者“I felt ____ to the point of breaking down”，后文说“I always got recharged when ____ her plants”，这种在疲惫中获得恢复的效果，带有一种意想不到的、“神奇的”色彩。 【33题详解】 考查动词短语。句意同上。A. shouting at对……大喊；B. cleaning away清除；C. cutting down砍倒；D. caring for照顾，照料。后文“nursing her plants”中的“nursing”是同义复现线索。且照料植物才能带来心灵慰藉。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：妈妈可能不会和我们在一起太久了，因为她的健康状况已经明显恶化。A. emotion情绪；B. health健康；C. eyesight视力；D. memory记忆。前文“Mom experienced a series of falls that ____ her in hospital”已说明母亲因健康问题（跌倒）住院。本句“may not be with us much longer”是更严重的推断，自然是因为“健康状况恶化”。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：现在轮到我去探索我的种植天赋了——照料她的植物将是未来心灵安宁的源泉。A. turn轮流，机会；B. decision决定；C. alternative选择；D. characteristic特点。根据前文“Mom may not be with us much longer, for her ____ has worsened significantly”以及后文“nursing her plants is a future source of mental peace”可知，现在该轮到作者接手照料绿植，传承这份爱好。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026 — 2030), the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will launch a series of scientific satellite missions, focusing on major frontiers like ____36____ origin of the universe and the start of life, officials said at a press conference held on Monday about the latest achievements of China’s space science pilot program. Key missions include the Hongmeng Program, Kuafu-2, an exoplanet (外行星) survey satellite, and an upgraded X-ray space observatory. The Hongmeng Program, ____37____ (make) up of 10 satellites forming a radio telescope array (阵列) that will go to the moon’s far side, is designed to capture faint cosmic (宇宙的) signals.

They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach. When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work. They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped. Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand. “I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.” The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木)， their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless. Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.” 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。 Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文（162词） Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort. As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lucas和Noah为买心仪的自行车，下雪天铲雪赚钱，最终坚守诚信完成工作并领悟道理的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Noah酸痛的双手似乎也在赞同哥哥的话。”以及第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时，Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知，第一段可描写思虑之后，兄弟俩还是决定遵守承诺。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时，Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Williams夫人非常感谢他们，而他们也明白了诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索：Noah也赞同哥哥的话，但是，他突然想起Williams夫人的信任——于是他决定继续清理积雪，而Lucas静静看着他，也加入他一起清理积雪——慢慢地，车道开始露出原貌——Williams夫人也回来了——她看着干干净净的车道，非常感动，她感谢了俩人的信守承诺——兄弟俩也明白了诚实的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①握住：hold/grasp ②成型：take shape/come into being ③信守他们的承诺：keep their promise/keep their word/stick to their promise 情绪类 ①疲惫：exhaustion/weariness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和what引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河师大附中高二年级2025-2026学年下学期期中试卷 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people. Nymph of the Luo River — Gu Kaizhi The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and a common person. Gu Kaizhi was moved by the story and illustrated the poem. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers — Zhou Fang During the Tang Dynasty, the kind of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks of this kind. In this painting, the ladies stand as though they were fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog. Along the River During the Qingming Festival — Zhang Zeduan Zhang Zeduan depicted (描绘) the landscape in his work Along the RiverDuring the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains — Wang Ximeng Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He created this artwork when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history. 1. What is Nymph of the Luo River based on? A. A story of a poor family. B. A poem about a love story. C. The artist’s view on the society. D. The artist’s personal experience. 2. Which artist represented people’s daily life through his painting? A. Gu Kaizhi. B. Zhou Fang. C. Zhang Zeduan. D. Wang Ximeng. 3. Which is your best choice if you want to enjoy a painting about nature? A. Nymph of the Luo River. B. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. C. Along the River During the Qingming Festival. D. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers. B If your yard is tiny, Jordan Karambelas has a suggestion for growing food organically: a goodlooking aquaponics (鱼菜共生) system that uses recycled water enriched by fish waste to water vegetables planted above. Jordan Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School, started a Permaculture (永续栽培) Club at the school this year to make her fellow students more aware of suitable ways to grow food, which is kind to the environment. Her work was inspired by Mike Garcia, who has spent many years working on water conservation and recycling methods. With Garcia’s help, they completed the project in just a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered (双层的) ,4-by-8-foot redwood structure that would easily fit in a tiny yard. Many of the materials were donated, Karambelas said, but it would have cost her about $1,500 to build the structure at full price. The materials included 26 redwood boards, a PVC pipe, 40 small goldfish and a pump (泵). The lower box is filled with water and the little fish. Garcia helped set up the pump so that the water could be delivered to the planting boxes above. The runoff goes back into the fish tank, keeping the water full of air. If the water level gets too low in the fish tank, the pump automatically draws from the city water. So far the student response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she is hoping it creates enough interest to increase membership in her new club next year. Karambelas has big plans to rebuild the broken greenhouse and abandoned raised beds in the courtyard and replant them all using recycled water. This summer will be the test to see how much water her aquaponics system requires, but she plans to visit frequently and hopefully expects good organic products. 4. Why did Karambelas start the club? A. To make good use of her yard. B. To show a newly-made system. C. To promote an eco-friendly idea. D. To provide food growing places. 5. What is the feature of Karambelas’s system? A. Space-saving. B. Time-wasting. C. Outdated. D. Profitable. 6. What can the pump do in the system? A. Send waste into the city water. B. Draw air from the planting boxes. C. Push water to the planting boxes. D. Get fresh water out of the city water. 7. Which words can best describe Karambelas? A. Modest and brave. B. Loyal and funny. C. Curious and honest. D. Ambitious and positive. C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity (肥胖). Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be a priority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rules — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures. they are much better than none at all. 8. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. Rising childhood obesity is under control internationally. B. Doctors advise regular blood pressure checks for kids. C. Fewer primary students suffer from obesity in England. D. The new rules are mainly meant to cut TV programme time. 10. Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules D There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be very useful for astronomers. It can clearly show both extremely bright celestial bodies (天体) and not very bright objects in the same photo, and can also track fast-moving celestial bodies without motion-caused unclear images. Traditional digital cameras work by checking pixels (像素) many times per second, recording data from every pixel each time. These new cameras, known as event cameras, work differently: A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. This is similar to how human eyes collect sensory information. This working method has advantages. For the same video, it stores less data as it only records pixels with changing brightness, and it can operate at a much higher rate. In addition, such cameras can show not very bright objects even with very bright ones nearby — these bright objects would cause overexposure in images taken by traditional cameras. This is because its pixels detect light in a different way instead of following a linear scale. To explore the potential of this technology in astronomy, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Siria binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B. Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. Meanwhile, Singh Thakur added, “These cameras are also excellent at detecting fast-moving objects due to their higher rates. You can shoot at very high speeds and still get fast-moving objects. Ordinary cameras would only produce unclear images.” 12. How does the author begin paragraph 1? A. By listing statistics. B. By giving a definition. C. By describing a phenomenon. D. By drawing a comparison. 13. Which statement fits the event cameras’ working mode? A. They check pixels constantly. B. They tend to store the same data. C. They focus on changing brightness data. D. They record stable pixels’ locations. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about the event cameras? A. Their major components. B. Their installation process. C. Their potential advantages. D. Their practical application. 15. What is Mark Norris’s attitude to the event cameras? A. Approving. B. Watchful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 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 Bird watching is an enjoyable and relaxing hobby that connects you with nature.

They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach. When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work. They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped. Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand. “I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.” The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木)， their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless. Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.” 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。 Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
