The tour is designed for children. However, an adult must accompany them at all times. (建议年龄为6岁及以上至10岁，所有想参加的孩子都需要购票。此导览专为儿童设计，但必须全程有一名成人陪同)”可知，7岁孩子在年龄范围内且有成人陪同，符合参观工厂的条件。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据POTTER’S WHEEL CLASS中的“We have designed our 30-minute potter’s wheel session specifically for children to get hands-on experience with clay and learn and create their very own pot! (我们特别为孩子们设计了30分钟的陶轮体验课程，让他们亲手感受陶土魅力，学习并制作属于自己的陶器)”以及“Clay and aprons (围裙) are provided.(提供粘土和围裙)”可知，在陶轮体验课上，孩子们可以使用提供的材料亲手制作陶罐。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Welcome to Clay (陶土) Club. Build your perfect day out at World of Wedgwood, selecting some activities that will keep your potter entertained! (欢迎来到陶艺俱乐部！在World of Wedgwood打造你的完美一日游，选择能让你的小陶艺家乐在其中的精彩活动吧)”可知，文章以宣传口吻介绍陶艺活动，详细列出不同项目的年龄限制、时长和内容。因此，文章应该出自活动手册。故选B项。 When Ghanain photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography, he found the challenge discouraging. Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart — those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. How did Ninson's grandparents affect his career choice? A. They bought a camera for Ninson. B. They asked him to consult his friend. C. They carried on the storytelling tradition. D. They showed many photos of his family. 5. Why did Ninson go to America? A. He desired for chances to better himself. B. He hunted for more approaches to culture. C. He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks. D. He wanted to return to commercial photography. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ninson? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Generous and caring. C. Innovative and hard-working. D. Brave and outgoing. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Publicize Dikan Center. B. Highlight the significance of Dikan Center. C. Introduce the development prospects of Dikan Center. D. Call on people to build more libraries in Dikan Center. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加纳摄影记者Paul Ninson克服重重困难，坚持追求摄影梦想，并最终在加纳首都阿克拉创建Dikan Center，为保存和传承非洲历史和文化做出贡献的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. (深受通过祖父母传下来的家族讲故事历史的影响，后来又被朋友的照片所吸引，他爱上了摄影。)”可知，Ninson的祖父母通过传承讲故事的传统影响了他的职业选择，使他爱上了摄影。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. (Ninson仍然寻求摄影新闻学的正规教育。由于在非洲找不到合适的课程，他于2019年离开加纳前往纽约市学习。)”可知，Ninson去美国是为了寻求摄影新闻学的正规教育，提升自己的技能，即他渴望有机会提升自己。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. (Ninson参观的图书馆不愿意把他们的档案给他带回非洲，这让他产生了在非洲创建一个收藏这些故事的领先摄影图书图书馆的想法。随着加纳首都阿克拉的Dikan中心的建立，这一想法已经实现。)”可知，Ninson有创新精神，能够提出创建Dikan Center的想法，并且他通过努力实现了这一想法，说明他勤奋努力。因此，最能描述Ninson的是“Innovative and hard-working（创新的和勤奋的）”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” (在加纳艺术家Daniella Afful看来，Dikan Center是加纳创意社区发展的火花，“Dikan Center放大了艺术和摄影。Dikan Center给了我们希望，我们可能很快就会在加纳拥有一个音乐图书馆，我们也可以拥有一个电影图书馆 —— 任何东西，只要能保存我们的历史并创造历史。”)”可知，最后一段通过引用加纳艺术家Daniella Afful的话，强调了Dikan Center对加纳创意社区发展的重要性，以及它对保存和传承加纳历史和文化的贡献。因此，作者在最后一段的意图是强调Dikan Center的重要性。故选B项。 Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. This type of precipitation typically has a pH between 4.2 and 4.4, while normal rain is slightly acidic with a pH of 5.6. Though natural sources like rotting plants and erupting volcanoes release some acid-forming chemicals, human activities are the main driver of acid rain. Specifically, coal-burning power plants, factories, and cars burn fossil fuels, which send out harmful gases like sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These gases then react with water, oxygen, and other substances in the air to form acids, and winds can carry these acidic compounds hundreds of miles across the surface. Ecologically, acid rain first makes rivers, lakes, and wetlands more acidic, which in turn causes the soil to release aluminum. This aluminum then flows into water bodies and poisons fish and other water-living creatures, with the harm further spreading through food chains to affect even non-water living animals like birds. Forests also suffer great damage: acid rain not only takes away necessary nutrients such as calcium from the soil and releases aluminum, but also burns tree leaves. As a result, plants become weak in resisting cold, insects, and diseases. Besides ecological damage, acid rain also wears down stone buildings and vehicles; when it turns into breathable fog, it can cause certain health problems. To solve these problems, we need to cut down on fossil fuels used and follow air-quality rules. The United Nations has been promoting global cooperation to reduce harmful gas emissions, and such efforts have helped some ecosystems recover from acid rain damage. However, recovery is slow, and difficulties in unifying global standards make progress harder. As long as fossil fuels continue to be used, acid rain will not disappear — this remains a global challenge that requires ongoing joint efforts. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By telling a story. B. By defining a term. C. By quoting a study. D. By giving examples. 9. Why does acid rain harm water-living creatures? A. It increases water pH level. B. It reduces water oxygen content. C. It poisons them with soil aluminum. D. It changes the temperature of water. 10. What can we infer from the text? A. Ecosystems recover rapidly now. B. Acid rain may affect human health. C. Natural sources cause most acid rain. D. Fossil fuels will stop being used soon. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe acid rain’s influence. B. To explain acid rain and call for action. C. To track acid rain’s global spread. D. To compare acid rain control ways. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍酸雨的定义、成因，阐述其对生态、建筑和人类健康的危害，呼吁全球合作减少化石燃料使用以应对该问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. (酸雨是指含有高浓度特定强酸的雨、雪、雾或其他形式的降水，于1852年由苏格兰化学家罗伯特・奥古斯特・史密斯首次发现。)”可知，作者通过给酸雨下定义的方式引出话题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Ecologically, acid rain first makes rivers, lakes, and wetlands more acidic, which in turn causes the soil to release aluminum. This aluminum then flows into water bodies and poisons fish and other water-living creatures (从生态角度来看，酸雨首先会使河流、湖泊和湿地的酸性增强，进而导致土壤释放出铝元素。这些铝元素随后流入水体，毒害鱼类和其他水生生物。)”可知，酸雨通过土壤释放的铝毒害水生生物。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Besides ecological damage, acid rain also wears down stone buildings and vehicles; when it turns into breathable fog, it can cause certain health problems. (除了生态破坏外，酸雨还会侵蚀石质建筑和车辆；当它转化为可吸入的雾气时，还可能引发某些健康问题。)”可知，我们可以推断出酸雨可能会影响人类健康。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. (酸雨是指含有高浓度特定强酸的雨、雪、雾或其他形式的降水，于1852年由苏格兰化学家罗伯特・奥古斯特・史密斯首次发现。)”以及下文可知，文章先给酸雨下定义、分析成因，接着阐述其对生态、建筑和人类健康的危害，最后提出减少化石燃料使用、加强全球合作等解决措施。核心目的是解释酸雨相关知识并呼吁采取行动应对。故选B项。 Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious. As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom. 12. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly? A. Their teachers help them. B. They take some medicine. C. Their parents talk with them. D. They change their attention. 13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A. Freedom must be given at anytime. B. Teens are mad at being controlled. C. Teens need both freedom and proper rules. D. Rules must be absolutely strict for teens. 14. What should parents do about their teens’ choices? A. Support their helpful hobbies. B. Tell them which college to attend. C. Cancel their after-school activities. D. Get them away from singing pop songs. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Be With Growing Teens B. Causes of Teens’ Sadness C. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules D. The Importance of Making Friends With Teens 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了父母如何与成长中的青少年相处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. (但这些症状通常很快就会消失，因为青少年开始学习新的课程，或与朋友见面，以防止自己思考当前的困扰。)”可知，青少年对不愉快的感觉会很快消失是因为他们改变了注意力。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. (父母需要制定规则，同时也要保持灵活性，尊重成长中的青少年对自由的需求。例如，青少年经常会感到沮丧，尴尬，甚至生气，尽管他们想要自由，他们仍然需要征求父母的同意去朋友家，或需要他们的母亲送他们去学校。)”可知，举例是为了说明青少年既需要自由又需要适当的规则。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. (美国教育部表示，父母应该尊重和支持青少年的选择，只要这些选择不会产生长期的有害影响。)”可知，对于青少年，父母应该支持他们有益的爱好。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. (根据在线的《青少年发展健康指南》，父母必须在青少年的生活中扮演持久的角色，为青少年的成长提供安全的边界，即使青少年表现得好像这些边界是不需要的。)”可知，本文主要谈论了父母如何与成长中的青少年相处。选项A符合文章主题，故选A项。 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。 How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways. Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). ____16____ Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. ____17____ Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired. ____18____ Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. ____19____ And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day. ____20____ The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people. A. There are endless ways to do that. B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better. D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best. E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment. F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose. G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何选择对你富有意义的职业。 【16题详解】 分析设空，设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结。根据前文“Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer).(想想你喜欢做什么。如果你喜欢写作或做手工，你可以考虑这些事情。当然，这不是一种坏的方式，但你不可能总是通过做你喜欢的事情(比如电子游戏或喝啤酒)来赚钱)”可知，本段是在讲述可以把自己喜欢的事作为职业，但是不是所有喜欢的事情都可以，所以G项“And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.(有时候把你喜欢的事情当成爱好或副业会更好)”是对前文的总结，符合本段主题。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad.(想一份你能做而且听起来不那么糟糕的高薪工作)”以及后文“Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker.(或者，这可能超出了你的教育范围，所以你选择了办公室或零售工人)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，从提出一个方法到具体的职业选择，再根据后文可知，空处的职业对教育要求高，所以B项“Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer?(也许是医生、工程师或律师？)”符合文意。故选B项。 【18题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease.(试着为社区服务或让世界变得更美好。例如，照顾孩子，因为你真的想帮助孩子们有一个美好的人生开端，或者成为他们想成为的人，或者进入政府或社会工作，改善你所居住的社区的条件，或者成为一名科学家，帮助缓解环境危机，或者找到治愈一种可怕疾病的方法)”可知，这里是在介绍另一种选择职业的方法，所以C项“However, there’s another way that is perhaps better.(然而，还有另一种可能更好的方法)”符合本段主题。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease.(例如，照顾孩子，因为你真的想帮助孩子们有一个美好的人生开端，或者成为他们想成为的人，或者进入政府或社会工作，改善你所居住的社区的条件，或者成为一名科学家，帮助缓解环境危机，或者找到治愈一种可怕疾病的方法)”以及后文“And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.(如果你选择其中的一个作为你的目标，你每天都会有一种使命感)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，从介绍职业，到这么做的好处，所以F项“Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose.(这些都只是许多充满目的的可能性之一)”符合文意，起到过渡作用。故选F项。 【20题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people.(关键不在于你如何为世界服务，而在于以某种方式为世界服务会让你充满目标感。如果你选择了一份目标明确、令人愉快的工作，你总是比大多数人走得更远)”可知，本段是文章的最后一段，应该做出总结，所以A项“There are endless ways to do that.(有无数种方法可以做到这一点)”符合文意，是总结性的语句，并且和后文构成逻辑关系。故选A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。 I lived in a small town near the provincial capital, separated by a challenging mountain pass.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者因错过回家的公交和出租车，在困境中得到冰淇淋店女孩及其父母的帮助，最终安全回家的经历。这次经历让作者感悟到，即使在困难的情况下，善意也可能来自意想不到的人，小小的善举能把糟糕的下午变成难忘的经历，凸显了他人善意的珍贵。 【21题详解】 考查副词。句意：每周，我按照固定的时间表，准时乘坐公共汽车去首都看心理医生。A. originally起初；B. exactly精确地，准确地；C. accidentally偶然地；D. unwillingly不情愿地。根据后文“following a set schedule”以及“my mental-health professional appointments”可知，作者每周都是按照精确固定的时间表去首都看心理医生。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：每周，我按照既定的时间表，准时乘坐公共汽车去首都看心理医生。A. examined检查；B. abandoned抛弃；C. boarded登上（船、飞机等）；D. located位于。根据后文“the public bus to the capital”可知，是登上公共汽车去首都，用board。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：医生好心待到很晚，却导致了一个我们俩都没预料到的问题。A. anticipated预料；B. completed完成；C. explained解释；D. grasped抓住。根据前文“My doctor’s kindness in staying late led to a problem”可知，医生加班是好意，但结果是作者错过了末班车。这种“错过末班车”的连锁反应，并非医生和作者事先能想到的。neither of us anticipated意为“我们俩都未预料到”，符合语境。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：手机没电了，没有充电器，也记不起任何号码，我被困住了。A. printed印刷；B. revised修改；C. exchanged交换；D. recalled回忆起。根据前文“no numbers”以及后文“I was stuck”可知，手机没电且记不住号码，所以才会被困住了。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：我唯一的选择就是骑医生借给我的自行车回家。A. option选择；B. connection连接；C. procedure程序；D. destination目的地。根据后文“ride the bike the doctor lent me to go home”可知，骑医生借的自行车回家是作者唯一的选择。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：在回家的路上，我在一家小冰淇淋店休息了一下。A. designed设计；B. compared比较；C. scheduled安排；D. broke中断，休息。根据后文“my journey at a small ice-cream shop”可知，回家的路上去了冰淇淋店，说明是在冰淇淋店休息一下，用broke，break one’s journey表示“中途休息”。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：我只有1.8美元，不够一次购买。A. ticket票；B. donation捐赠；C. purchase购买；D. tour旅行。根据前文“I had just $1.80, not enough for”可知，地点是冰淇淋店，作者身上有钱，自然是想买东西。但钱不够，所以“not enough for a purchase”（不够买一份冰淇淋）。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：在我解释了我的情况后，她主动提出让我用店里的电话，但我的脑海里一片空白，想不起任何联系号码。A. acquired获得；B. explained解释；C. predicted预测；D. recorded记录。根据后文“my situation”以及“she offered the use of the store phone”可知，是向收银员解释了自己的情况后，她才提出让我用店里的电话。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：在我解释了我的情况后，她主动提出让我用店里的电话，但我的脑海里一片空白，想不起任何联系号码。A. blank空白；B. treasure珍宝；C. map地图；D. wonder奇迹。前文第4空提到“no numbers ____”，此处是相同信息的复现。脑子一片“空白”想不起号码，是合理的描述。my mind was a blank是常见表达。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：由于山路崎岖，我不得不推着自行车上山。A. decorate装饰；B. repair修理；C. park停车；D. push推。根据后文“due to the tough mountain pass”可知，山路崎岖，所以是推着自行车上山。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：然后，冰淇淋店的女孩开车来了。她为我感到难过，说服她父母开车送我回家。A. encouraged鼓励；B. reminded提醒；C. persuaded说服；D. refused拒绝。根据前文的作者状况的描述以及“She felt sorry for me”可知，出于同情，女孩说服父母开车送作者回家。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我把这件事告诉别人时，他们一开始都瞪大了眼睛，表示难以置信，当我详细讲述时，他们的眼神又充满了同情。A. disbelief不相信；B. panic恐慌；C. awkwardness尴尬；D. confusion困惑。根据前文作者经历的描述以及“their eyes widened”可知，一开始别人听到作者的经历是难以置信的。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：这段经历表明，即使在困难的情况下，善良也会来自意想不到的人，比如冰淇淋店的女孩。A. experiment实验；B. conflict冲突；C. experience经历；D. performance表演。全文都在叙述作者亲身遭遇的一件事，这是一次“经历”。这里是用“This experience”来指代上文讲述的整个故事。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它提醒我们，小小的善举是有意义的，可以把一个非常糟糕的下午变成一个难忘的下午，让别人的善良凸显出来。A. different不同的；B. meaningful有意义的；C. limited有限的；D. simple简单的。根据后文“turning a very bad afternoon into a memorable one”可知，能把糟糕的下午变成难忘的下午，所以小小的善举是有意义的。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：它提醒我们，小小的善举是有意义的，可以把一个非常糟糕的下午变成一个难忘的下午，让别人的善良凸显出来。A. pays off得到回报；B. sets sail启航；C. takes over接管；D. stands out突出。根据全文对冰淇淋店女孩及其父母帮助作者回家的描述，此处是作者对这次经历的总结和感悟。描述的是在需要帮助的时刻，他人的善良品质显得尤为“突出”。 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。 Nursena Burus, a 19-year-old from the historic city of Manisa on Türkiye’s Aegean coast, has developed a taste ___36___ Chinese culture thanks to its food and her travels around the country.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester. As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.” My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place. Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me. “What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me. “Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击). 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。 Paragraph 1: I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1 I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. However, my love for dance wouldn’t allow it. I would show that teacher. The empty studio became my second home. I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester. Ms. Barton seemed to tolerate my ballet and began to appreciate my hip-hop style. Soon came her surprising request: to design two hip-hop dances for the final performance. Paragraph 2 Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared. I had the best time dancing to it and gave it my all, leaving our audience cheering and clapping. Afterwards, Ms. Barton announced the “Most Improved Dancer” award. I couldn’t believe my ears when she called my name! As my friends cheered, I walked up to receive the award. With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.” I realized that this ballet journey had taught me the courage to embrace challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中女生Sarah热爱街舞，新学期却迎来严厉的芭蕾老师。首次课上因动作不规范被当众批评，陷入是否放弃的挣扎。最终在期末汇演中，她将街舞与芭蕾融合，获得意外成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天剩下的时间里，我一直在思考是否应该放弃。”和第二段首句“最后，在我们高中的礼堂举行了展示活动。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定不放弃舞蹈，刻苦练习，Barton老师对作者舞姿的态度的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，在我们高中的礼堂举行了展示活动。”可知，第二段可描写作者将街舞和芭蕾舞融合，最终获得成功。 2.续写线索：不放弃——刻苦训练——老师态度转变——表演——成功——获奖——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①证明：show/prove/demonstrate ②消失：disappear/fade away ③微笑：smile/beam 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：surprising/astonishing ②眼睛里饱含眼泪：tears in my eyes/tears welling up 【点睛】[高分句型1]I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester.(运用了连接词that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3]With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.”(运用了with构成的复合结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年下期期中考试 高二年级英语 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

When Ghanain photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography, he found the challenge discouraging. Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart — those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. How did Ninson's grandparents affect his career choice? A. They bought a camera for Ninson. B. They asked him to consult his friend. C. They carried on the storytelling tradition. D. They showed many photos of his family. 5. Why did Ninson go to America? A. He desired for chances to better himself. B. He hunted for more approaches to culture. C. He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks. D. He wanted to return to commercial photography. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ninson? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Generous and caring. C. Innovative and hard-working. D. Brave and outgoing. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Publicize Dikan Center. B. Highlight the significance of Dikan Center. C. Introduce the development prospects of Dikan Center. D. Call on people to build more libraries in Dikan Center. Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. This type of precipitation typically has a pH between 4.2 and 4.4, while normal rain is slightly acidic with a pH of 5.6. Though natural sources like rotting plants and erupting volcanoes release some acid-forming chemicals, human activities are the main driver of acid rain. Specifically, coal-burning power plants, factories, and cars burn fossil fuels, which send out harmful gases like sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These gases then react with water, oxygen, and other substances in the air to form acids, and winds can carry these acidic compounds hundreds of miles across the surface. Ecologically, acid rain first makes rivers, lakes, and wetlands more acidic, which in turn causes the soil to release aluminum. This aluminum then flows into water bodies and poisons fish and other water-living creatures, with the harm further spreading through food chains to affect even non-water living animals like birds. Forests also suffer great damage: acid rain not only takes away necessary nutrients such as calcium from the soil and releases aluminum, but also burns tree leaves. As a result, plants become weak in resisting cold, insects, and diseases. Besides ecological damage, acid rain also wears down stone buildings and vehicles; when it turns into breathable fog, it can cause certain health problems. To solve these problems, we need to cut down on fossil fuels used and follow air-quality rules. The United Nations has been promoting global cooperation to reduce harmful gas emissions, and such efforts have helped some ecosystems recover from acid rain damage. However, recovery is slow, and difficulties in unifying global standards make progress harder. As long as fossil fuels continue to be used, acid rain will not disappear — this remains a global challenge that requires ongoing joint efforts. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By telling a story. B. By defining a term. C. By quoting a study. D. By giving examples. 9. Why does acid rain harm water-living creatures? A. It increases water pH level. B. It reduces water oxygen content. C. It poisons them with soil aluminum. D. It changes the temperature of water. 10. What can we infer from the text? A. Ecosystems recover rapidly now. B. Acid rain may affect human health. C. Natural sources cause most acid rain. D. Fossil fuels will stop being used soon. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe acid rain’s influence. B. To explain acid rain and call for action. C. To track acid rain’s global spread. D. To compare acid rain control ways. Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious. As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom. 12.

Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). ____16____ Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. ____17____ Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired. ____18____ Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. ____19____ And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day. ____20____ The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people. A. There are endless ways to do that. B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better. D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best. E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment. F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose. G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion. 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。 I lived in a small town near the provincial capital, separated by a challenging mountain pass.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester. As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.” My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place. Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me. “What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me. “Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击). 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。 Paragraph 1: I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
