We are gathered here today to mark the 15th anniversary of the Sunrise Future Project. Many of you have offered your time. Whether by working at the community center or tutoring at the local learning center, on behalf of everyone whose life has been touched by this project, I extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you. I speak from my own experience. At 16 I faced a difficult family situation and had no stable home. It was then that a social worker connected me with the Sunrise volunteer. That was the turning point. Through the project, I received not only a safe place to stay, but also the steady academic guidance and help in developing practical skills. Today, I am pursuing further studies at a college, spending several hours each week as a volunteer at the very same community center. There I meet teenagers who are going through challenges similar to what I once faced. It reminds me daily how powerful your generosity can be. Now it is my great honor to invite our Chairman, Elena Wright, who will share with us the inspiring story of how the Sunrise Future Project began. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A These days, a dependable WiFi signal is far more than a convenience. We count on Internet service to deal with the fun things like streaming movies. But we also depend on it to spread and receive information, making a strong connection important. Unluckily, many people struggle with WiFi problems in their homes. The good news? A range of easy methods can help, from repositioning your existing router (路由器) to trying a new router. If the signal from your Internet service provider seems fine, you’ll need to check your router. Start with an easy fix: Move your router to a better location. Think of it like a light that’s supposed to brighten up a whole room. For the best results, the router should be in an open, central, heightened position, rather than in a closet, behind a TV, or on the floor. If moving the router doesn’t solve the problem, you might need to try one of the following top-rated single-unit routers. Model Overall score Price Test results AX4200 90 $165 ★★★★★ BE6800 88 $300 ★★★★★ XR1000 82 $290 ★★★★ AX5400 80 $155 ★★★★ For a single dead corner of your house, you can try a low-cost WiFi extender, a piece of equipment that connects to electricity and sends the signal deeper into your home. For the best results, place it about halfway between your router and the dead corner. However, this solution has disadvantages. Extenders often create a separate WiFi network that you have to join through your computer, and they can cut the connection speed by half. But the signal should be good enough for basic tasks like web surfing. 21. Where should a router be placed for the best results? A. In a corner. B. Behind a TV. C. Under the dining table. D. On an open bookshelf. 22. Which model of routers offers the best value for money? A. AX4200. B. BE6800. C. XR1000. D. AX5400. 23. What is the limitation of a WiFi extender? A. Its price is high. B. Its size is large. C. It slows down the Internet speed. D. It puts users’ personal information at risk. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了改善家庭WiFi信号的几种方法，包括调整路由器位置、更换优质路由器以及使用WiFi延长器，同时提供了不同型号路由器的评分、价格等信息，并说明了WiFi延长器的优缺点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“For the best results, the router should be in an open, central, heightened position, rather than in a closet, behind a TV, or on the floor.(为了获得最佳效果，路由器应该放在开阔、中心、高处的位置，而不是放在壁橱里、电视后面或地板上。)”可知，放在开放的书架上符合开阔且高处的要求。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。对比表格中的路由器信息：AX4200综合得分90，价格165美元；BE6800综合得分88，价格300美元；XR1000综合得分82，价格290美元；AX5400综合得分80，价格155美元。AX4200综合得分最高，价格相对合理，性价比最优。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Extenders often create a separate WiFi network that you have to join through your computer, and they can cut the connection speed by half.(扩展器通常会创建一个单独的WiFi网络，你必须通过电脑连接，而且它们会将连接速度降低一半。)”可知，WiFi扩展器的局限性是会降低网络速度。 B Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have. Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans. We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults. But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out. It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family. 24. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it? A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager. 25. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel. 26. What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip? A. To teach her children to value life. B. To allow her children to see the world. C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine. D. To enable her children to learn something out of class. 27. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe? A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫还有三个孩子一起度过了美妙的两个月的欧洲之旅，带着孩子们去环游世界是作者和丈夫一直想要做的事情，对于这次旅行，作者感到很满意。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have. (我和丈夫一直梦想着带孩子去环游世界。这是我们一直想有一天做的事情。当我们想象着我俩和孩子们想要拥有的生活时，这是我们详细谈论的事情之一。)可知，计划这次旅行时，作者对旅行充满了渴望，故选D项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.(我和丈夫一直梦想着带孩子去环游世界。这是我们一直想有一天做的事情。当我们想象着我俩和孩子们想要拥有的生活时，这是我们详细谈论的事情之一。)”可知，作者和丈夫计划和孩子去旅行；根据第四段中的“It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.(它是关于一起经历几十次飞行、火车和出租车的旅行。我们向他们展示了这个世界是多么奇妙、多样和迷人。我们希望他们作为年轻人能从我们自己的旅行中学到一切。)”可知，作者和丈夫计划和孩子“实现”了此前的旅行计划，因此根据第三段的“Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.(14年后，我们有了三个男孩，他们一天比一天快。是时候……这些计划了。)”可知，作者的旅行计划到了该去“实现”的时候，故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.(我们想让忙碌的生活停止一年，只和孩子们在一起。我们想从每天早上做午餐、吃早餐和赶时间出门上学的日常生活中解脱出来。我们全家人需要休息一下。)”可知，作者这次旅行的主要目的是享受家庭生活，从忙碌的生活中解脱出来，故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.(这是一次美妙的两个月欧洲之旅，充满了令人难以置信的时刻。当我们回顾我们的生活时，我知道我们会很高兴我们做到了。我知道我们也会很高兴这是我们家庭故事的一章。)”可知，作者对两个月的欧洲旅行感到很满意，故选B项。 C Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being. A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too. There is plenty of evidence that spending time in natural areas is good for our health — but typically this research is done from a visual perspective, but we are curious what the role is of sounds we hear in these spaces. Some examples they found reported in those studies included decreased pain, lowered stress, improved mood, and better cognitive (认知的) function. With these results in hand, they then listened to audio recordings from 251 sites in 68 national parks across the United States. The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas. Only three locations with high natural sounds and low noise pollution were within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of urban areas. However, despite human-made noises being heard most of the time at sites in urban locations, birds were still heard about 60% of the time and geophysical sounds like wind and rain heard about 19% of the time. Not all natural sounds deliver the same benefits, the researchers found. For example, they discovered that the sounds of water had the largest impact on improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds ease stress and annoyance. And the sounds of both birds and water were heard more than 23% of the time in the national park recording sites. Interestingly, there was also some evidence that natural sounds have benefits over silence. There was also evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird— have benefits over fewer sounds. 28. What does the new study focus on? A. The effect natural sounds have on health. B. The harm man-made sounds do to health. C. The benefits natural sounds bring to the environment. D. The effect nature has on people from visual perspective. 29. What is an ideal site according to paragraph 4? A. It is away from cities. B. It has no noise pollution. C. It has bird songs most of the time. D. It is within 62 miles of urban areas. 30. What brings more benefits to people? A. The silence of nature. B. The sounds of water. C. The diversity of natural sounds. D. Natural sounds mixed with noises. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. It Is Beneficial to Live Close to Water B. We Are Surrounded by All Kinds of Sounds C. The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being D. Man-made Noise Pollution Is Harmful to Our Health 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，听鸟叫声和水声可以减轻压力，改善情绪。研究人员早就知道置身于大自然中有好处，但一项新的研究发现，自然的声音也对健康有益。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too.(一项新的研究发现，自然的声音也对健康有益)”可知，这项新研究的重点是自然声音对健康的影响。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas.(自然声音最多、人为声音最少的地点位于阿拉斯加、夏威夷和太平洋西北部，远离城市地区)”可知，听自然声音的理想地点都远离城市地区。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“There was also evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird— have benefits over fewer sounds.(还有证据表明，更多不同类型的自然声音（比如多种鸟类的鸣叫，而非只有一种）比更少的声音更有益)”可知，自然声音的多样性能给我们带来更多的益处。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being.(研究表明，聆听鸟鸣和水声可以降低压力、改善情绪。研究人员早就知道身处大自然是有益的。住在树林附近有助于延长寿命。在树林中漫步对情绪有好处。靠近水域可以对你的健康产生积极影响)”以及通读全文可知，文章谈论的话题是大自然的声音影响你的健康，所以C项“The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being(大自然的声音影响你的健康)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 D College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school? In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work. Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects. Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk. When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding. It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to communicate with them. 32. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT? A. It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching. B. It’s hard to grade a paper written by it. C. It limits students’ imagination and creativity. D. It questions the necessity of teaching writing. 33. What does the author think of learning to write? A. It helps with logical thinking. B. It is a basic skill for everyone. C. It focuses on correct expression. D. It is closely related to social skills. 34. What makes writing effective according to the text? A. Expressing oneself. B. Targeting intended readers. C. Conveying imaginative ideas. D. Creating attractive characters. 35. What may be a suitable title for the text? A. What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students B. ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing C. Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy D. What Is the Future for AI Writing 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school?(如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，关于ChatGPT，老师关注是它质疑教学写作的必要性。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.(首先，它是关于学习将一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线——这是一项对每个人都有用的技能，而不仅仅是那些喜欢写作或需要为工作做很多事情的人)”可知，作者认为学习写作有助于逻辑思维。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose.(写作从来不是简单的自我表达。它是为特定目的而对特定受众的表达)”可知，针对目标读者使写作有效。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school?(大学和高中教师对ChatGPT表达了担忧，这是一个人工智能程序，可以让写作技能有限的人创作高质量的文本。这引发了我们如何以及为什么要教写作的问题。如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。因此A选项“人工智能不能教给写作学生的东西”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.

Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate (偏离) from your plan.”（这意味着每天留出特定的时间来学习，然后尽可能严格地遵守这个时间表。当然，也会有事情发生的时候，你不得不偏离你的计划。）可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，而E项However, try not to go off - track too often or for too long.（但是，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道。）符合语境，其中go off - track 和上文deviate from your plan对应。故选E项。 【37题详解】 由前文“Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration”（我们的大脑只能有效地集中注意力这么长一段时间，然后才会开始失去注意力。）和后文“chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn.”（你不记得你想学的所有信息的可能性要大得多。）可知，前面讲大脑只能集中注意力一段时间，而后文讲记不住内容，所以所填空应说我们一次学习时间太长的话，我们会记不住学习内容。而C项So if you try to study for several hours once（所以如果你试着一次学习几个小时）符合语境，有承上启下作用。故选C项。 【38题详解】 由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-its all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.”（有些人喜欢完全安静地学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音有助于他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案，这都是关于找一个学习的地方。这使你能够尽可能高效地学习。）可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，而F项Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time（你在哪里学习也会影响你如何有效地利用时间）符合语境，其中Where 和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故选F项。 【39题详解】 由后文“it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.”（你可以更容易地指导你的学习课程，更好地利用你的时间。）可知，前文应讲明确你的方向，这样会更利于学习。而G项And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on（一旦你知道了你需要研究的具体主题或想法）符合语境，其中specific topics or ideas you need to work on与后文direct your study sessions accordingly对应。故选G项。 【40题详解】 由后文“If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on.”（如果你发现你很难理解这些材料，或者只是没有像你想的那样快速地取得进展，请及时寻求帮助。承认你需要帮助并不可耻。事实上，通过尽早获得所需的支持，从长远来看，它可以节省大量时间。）可知，这段主要讲要学会寻求帮助，而B项Don’t be afraid to ask for help（不要害怕寻求帮助）符合语境，对下文有概括作用，且help与下文也对应。故选B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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our first day at camp was packed with excitement — icebreaker games, swimming tests, and a treasure hunt to explore the campground.

She had a wise way to reach difficult students: instead of judgment, she would make an intentional effort to find their smallest strength. Last term, Marc was assigned to Ms Green’s class. He had a reputation around the school for his behavior: disturbing class, skipping homework and fighting with classmates. Constantly lectured by teachers, he grew cold and defensive. “Marc’s real trouble — he’ll ruin your class order,” other teachers warned Ms Green. She listened and inquired, “But what’s something good about him?” She learned Marc was a dedicated football player. The first time Marc entered class, she greeted him with “I’ve heard about you”. At this point, the kid was preparing for the usual speech: “You’d better not cause trouble in my class...” Unexpectedly, he heard, "You’re that great football player? Can I get your game schedule?" Initially, he didn’t get her message, and then it sank in: Ms Green wanted to watch him play. Warmth flooded into his heart — no adult had done him such an honor, and he nodded excitedly. Ms Green kept her word. From the sidelines, she shouted Marc’s name and cheered him on. Her warm and sincere favor stimulated his whole-hearted engagement in the game. He played with remarkable focus. Back in class, Ms Green praised Marc, “You showed great teamwork out there.” Then she encouraged him, “Why not bring that focus here? I’m convinced you’ll do well.” Greatly motivated, Marc started to change for the better. However, one Monday morning, Marc stormed into the classroom, looking angry and down. He slammed his bag on the desk and sat silently, refusing to talk to anyone. All his previous rudeness seemed to come back in a flash. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Seeing that, Ms Green walked towards him quietly and patted him on the shoulder gently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: From that day on, Marc became a completely different boy both on the field and in the classroom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Seeing that, Ms Green walked towards him quietly and patted him on the shoulder gently. Marc raised his head with red eyes, and the anger in his eyes gradually faded when he met Ms Green’s gentle and concerned gaze. He choked and told Ms Green that his team had lost an important game, and he thought it was all his fault for missing a crucial goal. Ms Green sat beside him, listened to him patiently, and then said softly, “I watched that game. You ran nonstop throughout the whole game, and your efforts to cooperate with your teammates were impressive. A loss is not a shame, what matters is that you can learn from it and focus on the next game.” Her words pierced through Marc’s frustration, and he couldn’t help bursting into tears, releasing all his negative emotions. Paragraph 2: From that day on, Marc became a completely different boy both on the field and in the classroom. On the football field, he no longer blamed himself or his teammates when they lost games, but instead took the initiative to sum up experience and encouraged everyone to prepare for the next match, gradually growing into the core leader of the team. In class, he stopped disturbing the teaching order, listened carefully to the teachers, finished his homework on time, and even volunteered to help his classmates with their studies. All the teachers and classmates were surprised at his great changes, and Marc knew it was Ms Green’s encouragement and recognition that had lit up his life, guiding him to become a better person. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Green老师用发现学生闪光点的方式教育问题学生Marc。Marc因不良行为在学校名声不佳，Green老师却关注到他热爱足球的优点，不仅询问他的比赛日程并到场加油，还在课堂上表扬他，鼓励他将赛场上的专注带到学习中。Marc深受鼓舞，开始变好，但后来某天他又带着愤怒沮丧回到教室。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“看到这一幕，Green老师静静地走向他，轻轻地拍了拍他的肩膀。”可知，第一段可描写Marc向Green老师诉说自己的失误，Green老师耐心安慰以及Green宣泄情绪的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，无论在球场上还是在教室里，Marc都变成了一个完全不同的男孩。”可知，第二段可描写Marc的具体变化，众人的反应以及Marc的感悟。 2.续写线索：向老师倾诉——老师耐心安慰——放声大哭——Marc发生变化——众人惊讶——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①遇到：meet/encounter ②专注于：focus on/concentrate on ③重要：matter/count 情绪类 ①突然大哭：burst into tears/burst out crying ②感到惊讶的：surprised/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1]Her words pierced through Marc’s frustration, and he couldn’t help bursting into tears, releasing all his negative emotions.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]All the teachers and classmates were surprised at his great changes, and Marc knew it was Ms Green’s encouragement and recognition that had lit up his life, guiding him to become a better person.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句，强调句，现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年下学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When will the two speakers leave?

We count on Internet service to deal with the fun things like streaming movies. But we also depend on it to spread and receive information, making a strong connection important. Unluckily, many people struggle with WiFi problems in their homes. The good news? A range of easy methods can help, from repositioning your existing router (路由器) to trying a new router. If the signal from your Internet service provider seems fine, you’ll need to check your router. Start with an easy fix: Move your router to a better location. Think of it like a light that’s supposed to brighten up a whole room. For the best results, the router should be in an open, central, heightened position, rather than in a closet, behind a TV, or on the floor. If moving the router doesn’t solve the problem, you might need to try one of the following top-rated single-unit routers. Model Overall score Price Test results AX4200 90 $165 ★★★★★ BE6800 88 $300 ★★★★★ XR1000 82 $290 ★★★★ AX5400 80 $155 ★★★★ For a single dead corner of your house, you can try a low-cost WiFi extender, a piece of equipment that connects to electricity and sends the signal deeper into your home. For the best results, place it about halfway between your router and the dead corner. However, this solution has disadvantages.

B Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have. Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans. We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults. But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out. It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family. 24. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it? A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager. 25. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel. 26. What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip? A. To teach her children to value life. B. To allow her children to see the world. C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine. D. To enable her children to learn something out of class. 27. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe? A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed. C Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being. A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too. There is plenty of evidence that spending time in natural areas is good for our health — but typically this research is done from a visual perspective, but we are curious what the role is of sounds we hear in these spaces. Some examples they found reported in those studies included decreased pain, lowered stress, improved mood, and better cognitive (认知的) function. With these results in hand, they then listened to audio recordings from 251 sites in 68 national parks across the United States. The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas. Only three locations with high natural sounds and low noise pollution were within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of urban areas. However, despite human-made noises being heard most of the time at sites in urban locations, birds were still heard about 60% of the time and geophysical sounds like wind and rain heard about 19% of the time. Not all natural sounds deliver the same benefits, the researchers found. For example, they discovered that the sounds of water had the largest impact on improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds ease stress and annoyance. And the sounds of both birds and water were heard more than 23% of the time in the national park recording sites. Interestingly, there was also some evidence that natural sounds have benefits over silence. There was also evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird— have benefits over fewer sounds. 28. What does the new study focus on? A. The effect natural sounds have on health. B. The harm man-made sounds do to health. C. The benefits natural sounds bring to the environment. D. The effect nature has on people from visual perspective. 29. What is an ideal site according to paragraph 4? A. It is away from cities. B. It has no noise pollution. C. It has bird songs most of the time. D. It is within 62 miles of urban areas. 30. What brings more benefits to people? A. The silence of nature. B. The sounds of water. C. The diversity of natural sounds. D. Natural sounds mixed with noises. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. It Is Beneficial to Live Close to Water B. We Are Surrounded by All Kinds of Sounds C. The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being D. Man-made Noise Pollution Is Harmful to Our Health D College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school? In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work. Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects. Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk. When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding. It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to communicate with them. 32. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT? A. It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching. B. It’s hard to grade a paper written by it. C. It limits students’ imagination and creativity. D. It questions the necessity of teaching writing. 33. What does the author think of learning to write? A. It helps with logical thinking. B. It is a basic skill for everyone. C. It focuses on correct expression. D. It is closely related to social skills. 34. What makes writing effective according to the text? A. Expressing oneself. B. Targeting intended readers. C. Conveying imaginative ideas. D. Creating attractive characters. 35. What may be a suitable title for the text? A. What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students B. ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing C. Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy D. What Is the Future for AI Writing 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.

She had a wise way to reach difficult students: instead of judgment, she would make an intentional effort to find their smallest strength. Last term, Marc was assigned to Ms Green’s class. He had a reputation around the school for his behavior: disturbing class, skipping homework and fighting with classmates. Constantly lectured by teachers, he grew cold and defensive. “Marc’s real trouble — he’ll ruin your class order,” other teachers warned Ms Green. She listened and inquired, “But what’s something good about him?” She learned Marc was a dedicated football player. The first time Marc entered class, she greeted him with “I’ve heard about you”. At this point, the kid was preparing for the usual speech: “You’d better not cause trouble in my class...” Unexpectedly, he heard, "You’re that great football player? Can I get your game schedule?" Initially, he didn’t get her message, and then it sank in: Ms Green wanted to watch him play. Warmth flooded into his heart — no adult had done him such an honor, and he nodded excitedly. Ms Green kept her word. From the sidelines, she shouted Marc’s name and cheered him on. Her warm and sincere favor stimulated his whole-hearted engagement in the game. He played with remarkable focus. Back in class, Ms Green praised Marc, “You showed great teamwork out there.” Then she encouraged him, “Why not bring that focus here? I’m convinced you’ll do well.” Greatly motivated, Marc started to change for the better. However, one Monday morning, Marc stormed into the classroom, looking angry and down. He slammed his bag on the desk and sat silently, refusing to talk to anyone. All his previous rudeness seemed to come back in a flash. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Seeing that, Ms Green walked towards him quietly and patted him on the shoulder gently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: From that day on, Marc became a completely different boy both on the field and in the classroom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一部分听力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。Text one, the movie . begins . at eight.
