Brown Girl Dreaming uses poetry to tell the author’s true story of growing up as a black woman in the 1960s and 1970s. Through beautiful language, Woodson explores big ideas while describing her family, her growing awareness of race and the Civil Rights movement, and her life in South Carolina and New York City. When You Were Everything By Ashley Woodfolk Cleo and Layla have been best friends for years. But in their sophomore year, everything changes. Layla starts hanging out with new people, and the two girls’ friendship slowly ends. Cleo is still trying to make sense of what happened as she tries to make new friends. Told across two timelines, Cleo’s story of sadness surrounding a lost friendship will be relevant to many pupils trying to deal with past middle school friend drama and looking forward to high school. The Hound of the Baskervilles By Arthur Conan Doyle The famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson set out to look into a new case in Dartmoor, England. A man is dead, with many dog paw prints leading to his body. Holmes and Watson arrive in Dartmoor to find several unexplainable events and clues. Together, they start to figure out a puzzle that has defined mystery and detective fiction ever since. The Hobbit By J.R.R. Tolkien This story is an opener to the longer and more challenging The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It’s an adventure story set in an epic fantasy world. With dwarves, hobbits, sword fights, wizards and dragons, the book’s plot and humor have stood the test of time. 1. How is Brown Girl Dreaming different from the other books according to the text? A. It has won many awards. B. It is full of mysteries. C. It focuses on modern city life. D. It uses simple language. 2. What is the theme of When You Were Everything? A. Pressure from schoolwork. B. Love and hope. C. Learning to be independent. D. Friendship and growth. 3. If you want to read something about imagination and adventure, which book should you read? A. Brown Girl Dreaming. B. The Hound of the Baskervilles. C. The Hobbit. D. When You Were Everything. B If you think backyard and roof-top beehives (蜂箱) are helping save the bees, think again, experts say. A recent study conducted in Montreal found that places with the largest increase in honeybees kept by humans had the fewest wild bee species—with small bees, which are only able to fly shorter distances to find food, appearing to be especially at risk. “The honeybee has been promoted as the symbol of helping the environment and the variety of living species on the earth, and really it’s not that,” says Gail MacInnis, a researcher at Concordia University. “You would never start keeping chickens to help save wild bird species.” “Honeybees are among the most common insects in the world, but they aren’t native to many of the places where they are found,” says Sheila Colla, a professor at York University. “Honeybees are very successful invaders (入侵者),” Colla says. These bees can fly long distances and are able to effectively communicate with one another through dance language. Introducing honeybee hives to an area can be a problem for local wild bees, which often end up competing for the same food sources. Should we stop keeping bees in the cities then? Colla gives us an answer in some way. “There is room for it in cities. It’s just right now we’re not managing it very responsibly in certain places,” she says. It is suggested that cities and towns that allow beekeeping should have caps on the number of hives and require people to register their bee hives. Beekeepers also need to understand the responsibility they’re taking on. 4. Why does Gail MacInnis mention “keeping chickens”? A. To introduce a new topic. B. To show how to save wild birds. C. To make her idea easily understood. D. To share chicken-keeping knowledge. 5. What is the problem for the local wild bees when honeybee hives are introduced? A. Competition for food. B. Risk of being killed. C. Less communication. D. No habitat. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Saving the honeybees. B. Building hives in cities. C. Making room for honeybees. D. Keeping honeybees responsibly. C I always saw myself as an honest person. The only time I’d ever lied was to protect someone’s feelings. But that wasn’t really lying. I would tell myself that it was an act of kindness! And then I had a therapy (治疗) period, when I realized that all of this was actually people-pleasing behaviour. Not only that, but according to my therapist, by continuously hiding my true feelings to protect those I loved, I was stopping them from ever getting to know the real me. I knew something had to change. So, from that moment, I promised I would never tell another lie again. It was particularly hard at the start. It would take me hours to reply to a “do you like a coffee?” text when my answer was “no”. But gradually, I realized it was not impossible. Because more often than not, I’d tell the truth when I have to stop the appointment (约定) with friends, but instead of being disappointed, they would reply, “Oh, I’m delighted that you tell the truth.” If there is any difference, by telling the truth, I was becoming closer to those I really connected with, and gently letting go of those I didn’t. Some did struggle at first because they weren’t used to my honesty. But slowly, people began to express their gratitude for my newfound honesty. I’ll never forget the first time a friend thanked me for it: “I feel so safe in our friendship because I know if I’ve upset you, you’ll just tell me!” It’s why I’m fully committed to maintaining honesty. I have no idea where it will take me, but at least I’ll always be living a life of total authenticity. My experience inspired me to write a children’s novel about a girl who couldn’t lie. I’ve dedicated (把……献给) it to my younger self, and I hope it also encourages a new generation to do what I’ve only just learned: to tell the truth. 7. The author decided to stop lying when ______. A. she received a treatment B. she became a therapist C. she made her friends happy D. she wanted to protect someone’s feelings 8. What made the author believe it is possible to tell the truth? A. Her friends’ supportive responses. B. Her unique way to tell the truth. C. Her therapist’s encouragement. D. Her trust in her friends. 9. What does the underlined word “authenticity” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Creativity. B. Humor. C. Truth. D. Greatness. 10. What does the author want the new generation to do in the last paragraph? A. Be honest people. B. Avoid unnecessary conversations. C. Write books to encourage children to be happy. D. Keep a balance between telling lies and the truth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering as a Family Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?

The one with the red dress that shone in the sunlight. Determined to buy it, she came up with a plan. She would make jasmine garlands (茉莉花环) and sell them at her aunt’s market stand. Her best friend Jodi was eager to join her. Early the next morning, the girls met at the jasmine garden outside of Shanti’s house. Delicate white flowers surrounded them with fresh scents. They nipped (掐) flowers with their fingers and dropped them into a basket. Then the girls sat under a mango tree and knotted the flowers into garlands. Shanti could already picture herself holding that doll, imagining the joy of owning it. “If we sell enough, we can each buy one,” she said with a smile. But Jodi shook her head. She explained that her family was struggling financially that week, and instead of using her earnings for a doll, she would buy medicine for her sick little brother, Kiran. She then picked up her garlands. “My mother is expecting me. I’ll meet you at the market.” Later, Shanti spent the afternoon selling her garlands while waiting for Jodi. By evening, Shanti had sold all of hers, but there was still no sign of her friend. Just as Shanti was heading home, she spotted Jodi coming to the market with her garlands, looking exhausted. Jodi explained that she had been taking care of Kiran while her mother was at work, and that’s why she was late. Shanti’s heart sank as she realized her friend wouldn’t be able to make enough money for the medicine in time. She looked at the small amount of money she had earned, which had been meant for the doll she had dreamed of for so long. In that moment, the desire for the doll seemed so insignificant. Without a second thought, she handed Jodi the money. “Keep this for Kiran’s medicine,” Shanti said softly. Jodi’s eyes were filled with gratitude, but Shanti smiled, knowing she had made the right choice. 注意: (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 The next week, as Shanti and Jodi gathered flowers, Kiran came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shanti rushed to the shop, only to be told the doll was sold. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 唐山市金桥集团2025—2026学年度高一年级五月份联考 英语试卷 满分150分。考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名，考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后。用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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。听完每段录音后，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.

He happily nipped flowers, laughter ringing through the garden, his cheeks rosy with health. “Thank you for what you did,” Jodi whispered. Shanti felt the warmth springing in her heart. With garlands ready, they walked to the market together. After Jodi and Kiran’s being called back by their mother, Shanti stayed behind, selling the last of the garlands with a sense of pride and achievement. As she counted the coins, a thrill surged through her — eventually, she had earned enough to buy the doll! (84 words) Shanti rushed to the shop, only to be told the doll was sold. Shanti stood frozen for a moment, her heart sinking. She had imagined holding the doll so many times, but now it was gone! She slowly picked up her money and ran out of the door before Ramu could see her tears. Just as she turned the corner, she saw Jodi and Kiran waiting with bright smiles. Jodi held out a small package — inside was the wooden doll in the red dress! “We all saved together,” Jodi said. Shanti hugged them tightly, her heart full of joy and gratitude.
