Malta Though English is still widely spoken as one of Malta’s official languages — set during 150 years of British rule, which also left behind left-hand driving — calls for revival saw Maltese become the official language again in 1934. There’s hardly a time of year when the Maltese aren’t celebrating something, but modern history lovers should head out for 21 September, which marks Malta’s Independence Day. The island nation’s sovereignty (主权) was hard-fought for and finally won in 1964. Crete, Greece The Minoans — a Cretan people widely credited as Europe’s first recorded civilisation — are believed to have brought olive oil production to Europe around 4,500 years ago. See for yourself on a cookery experience with Minoan Tastes, where you’ll wolf down the food inspired by old recipes. If you’re hungry for more history, head for the Olive Tree Museum in Vouves, which dives into the history of the industry. Sardinia, Italy The Giants of Mont’e Prama — 15 large sandstone heads said to be 3,000 years old — were unearthed in 1974 by two farmers who worked in the field. Their age connects them to the island’s mysterious (神秘的) Nuragic civilisation. See the figures at Cagliari’s National Archaeological Museum. Within the same museum lie other important finds, which help to paint a picture of the civilisation’s livelihoods. Isle of Skye, Scotland It’d be a surprise that a lyre said to be about 4,000 years old was found on Scotland’s Isle of Skye in 2012. The discovery tugged (拨动) on the heartstrings of islanders whose past has been underpinned by a love of traditional folk music, often featuring stringed instruments. The islanders host many live music events every year. See a variety of acts at Skye Live, the island’s annual music festival with hours of traditional Scottish songs. 21. When did Malta become independent? A. In 1814. B. In 1934. C. In 1964. D. In 1974. 22. Who discovered the ancient stone figures in Sardinia? A. Painters. B. Local farmers. C. Tourists. D. Museum workers. 23. Which might attract music lovers? A. Isle of Skye. B. Sardinia. C. Crete. D. Malta. B Kiley Crisp, a 15-year-old teenager, has Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes learning and developmental issues. Despite her outgoing personality, Kiley sometimes struggles to make friends. Last year, however, she met two amazing girls at a summer camp she went to. The girls, who live far away from her, daily contact Kiley. They call her, check in on her using social media, and make her feel deeply loved. Kiley was out to dinner with family to celebrate her turning 15. She was extremely moved to find that her friends drove three hours to celebrate her birthday! In a video posted by her sister Ashley on social media, Kiley is seen moved to tears at how kind her friends were to surprise her on her birthday. In the video, the 15-year-old is seen happily dancing around in a cafe. Then she feels two girls coming towards her. She realizes they are her two good friends. Kiley widens her eyes, unable to believe it, because both had told her that they felt sorry for not being able to come to observe her birthday. Then the two friends are seen comforting Kiley as they offer her hugs and wish her a happy birthday! The video has acquired over 5.2 million views since it was posted, through which Kiley has received a lot of love. And in an update, she expressed her hearty thanks to those who left sweet comments. One of them said, “Really sweet of those girls to support their friend like that.” Another said, “The world would be a much better place if more people were like these girls. They are inspiring role models. We should all try to be so nice.” 24. Why is it difficult for Kiley to make friends? A. She is hard to get along with. B. She suffers from a disease. C. She lives far from other children. D. She seldom uses social media. 25. What impressed Kiley most at her birthday party? A. Her friends’ unexpected appearance. B.

Overjoyed but ashamed. B. Shocked and embarrassed. C. Satisfied but confused. D. Surprised and touched. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Kiley reminded people to view her video. B. Kiley promised to help teenagers make friends. C. Their friendship has inspired many people. D. More people intend to join in her birthday party. C “If music is the medicine of the soul, let it play on,” said a famous person. I think he said so because probably he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well． The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life． Depression (抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness, headaches, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feelings make you healthy． Anxiety (焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast.Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pain from these diseases and you feel all right． Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition.Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person． 28. What do you know about music according to the famous person in paragraph 1? A. Music can treat many kinds of diseases． B. Music can help you keep healthy in your mind． C. Music can take the place of medicine in treating illness． D. Music can make you remember things that happened in the past． 29. How does good music help people remove stress? A. By letting people have a good sleep． B. By making people think positively． C. By showing something new to people． D. By making people focus only on important things． 30. According to the passage，what will one who has cancer most probably experience? A. Stress． B. Depression． C. Anxiety． D. Upset． 31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. The Health Benefits of Listening to Music B. Stress Can Bring Us Many Kinds of Diseases C. Some Diseases Have Something to Do with Music D. Tips for Us to Live a Healthy and Comfortable Life D AI is already part of our daily lives. However, dependence on it can cause great harm to our ability to think critically. According to researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University, too much reliance on these tools can cause great harm to critical thinking, as well as negatively affect the brain’s ability to combine different ideas, styles, or systems into a single idea or system. The study defined the structure of thought as a pyramid. In this way, knowledge is at the top, followed by understanding ideas, practice, comparing ideas and, finally, synthesizing (合成) them. Based on surveys of 319 so-called “knowledge workers”, who can generally be categorized as “white-collar jobs”, the study found that while generative AI can improve efficiency, it can hold back critical engagement with work. In this way, it potentially ends up leading to increasing dependence on the tool in the long term, in addition to a decrease in the ability to independently solve problems. The impact of this problem is being seen mainly in the business sector. According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, there was a decrease of around 41% in the workforce. Big tech CEOs have admitted that they are distributing much of their work to AI, according to CNET. This migration of functions to AI has led to a wave of layoffs and fewer job openings. A series of executive (执行的) orders related to AI safety issued by former US President Joe Biden have been revoked by President Donald Trump, reducing limitations on big tech. In this regard, last week, Google lifted a ban on the use of AI in the development of weapons and surveillance (监视) tools. Another very common use by workers is to use AI to correct and review their work already done. Although this action requires some critical thinking, researchers warn that long-term use can destroy the ability to synthesize. 32. Which part of the thought pyramid is most affected by AI? A. Practising. B. Comparing. C. Understanding. D. Synthesizing. 33. Why is workforce decrease in business mentioned? A. To show AI damages economy. B. To indicate AI-related job loss. C. To advise workers to raise efficiency. D. To prove AI has more critical thinking. 34. What does the underlined word “revoked” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Analyzed. B. Cancelled. C. Considered. D. Strengthened. 35. What can be inferred from Google lifting the AI use ban? A. AI safety is no longer a concern. B. Google leads in AI military fields. C. People grow more inclusive of AI. D. The previous ban ignores the reality. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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，其中有两项为多余选项。 How to Prepare for an Earthquake An earthquake can be a very destructive natural disaster, particularly in the Pacific Rim region.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy. The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年下学期期中考试卷 高一年英语科 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 考生须知： 1．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 2．所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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】 What does the man want to do?

The letter described her grandmother’s hard journey to success and how she had always believed in Anna. Anna quit her job in May and opened a little bookstore the following October. At first, Anna felt things were tough. There were long hours and many problems. She learned to trust herself and ask for help when she needed it. Slowly, her business grew. By March, nearly a year after leaving her job, Anna had a successful business. Anna’s courage and independence made her a role model to others who were scared of change. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5） A Europe’s historic islands offer travelers insights into the past. Malta Though English is still widely spoken as one of Malta’s official languages — set during 150 years of British rule, which also left behind left-hand driving — calls for revival saw Maltese become the official language again in 1934. There’s hardly a time of year when the Maltese aren’t celebrating something, but modern history lovers should head out for 21 September, which marks Malta’s Independence Day. The island nation’s sovereignty (主权) was hard-fought for and finally won in 1964. Crete, Greece The Minoans — a Cretan people widely credited as Europe’s first recorded civilisation — are believed to have brought olive oil production to Europe around 4,500 years ago. See for yourself on a cookery experience with Minoan Tastes, where you’ll wolf down the food inspired by old recipes. If you’re hungry for more history, head for the Olive Tree Museum in Vouves, which dives into the history of the industry. Sardinia, Italy The Giants of Mont’e Prama — 15 large sandstone heads said to be 3,000 years old — were unearthed in 1974 by two farmers who worked in the field. Their age connects them to the island’s mysterious (神秘的) Nuragic civilisation. See the figures at Cagliari’s National Archaeological Museum. Within the same museum lie other important finds, which help to paint a picture of the civilisation’s livelihoods. Isle of Skye, Scotland It’d be a surprise that a lyre said to be about 4,000 years old was found on Scotland’s Isle of Skye in 2012. The discovery tugged (拨动) on the heartstrings of islanders whose past has been underpinned by a love of traditional folk music, often featuring stringed instruments. The islanders host many live music events every year. See a variety of acts at Skye Live, the island’s annual music festival with hours of traditional Scottish songs. 21. When did Malta become independent? A. In 1814. B. In 1934. C. In 1964. D. In 1974. 22. Who discovered the ancient stone figures in Sardinia? A. Painters. B. Local farmers. C. Tourists. D. Museum workers. 23. Which might attract music lovers? A. Isle of Skye. B. Sardinia. C. Crete. D. Malta. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了欧洲的四个历史悠久的岛屿。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Malta部分中“The island nation’s sovereignty (主权) was hard-fought for and finally won in 1964.(这个岛国的主权经过了艰苦的斗争，最终在1964年获得了胜利)”可知，马耳他是在1964年独立的。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sardinia, Italy部分中“The Giants of Mont’e Prama — 15 large sandstone heads said to be 3,000 years old — were unearthed in 1974 by two farmers who worked in the field.(普拉玛山的巨人——15个据说有3000年历史的大型砂岩头——是1974年由两个在田里工作的农民发掘出来的)”可知，当地的农民在撒丁岛发现了古代石像。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Isle of Skye, Scotland部分“It’d be a surprise that a lyre said to be about 4,000 years old was found on Scotland’s Isle of Skye in 2012.

However, dependence on it can cause great harm to our ability to think critically. According to researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University, too much reliance on these tools can cause great harm to critical thinking, as well as negatively affect the brain’s ability to combine different ideas, styles, or systems into a single idea or system. The study defined the structure of thought as a pyramid. In this way, knowledge is at the top, followed by understanding ideas, practice, comparing ideas and, finally, synthesizing (合成) them. Based on surveys of 319 so-called “knowledge workers”, who can generally be categorized as “white-collar jobs”, the study found that while generative AI can improve efficiency, it can hold back critical engagement with work. In this way, it potentially ends up leading to increasing dependence on the tool in the long term, in addition to a decrease in the ability to independently solve problems. The impact of this problem is being seen mainly in the business sector. According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, there was a decrease of around 41% in the workforce. Big tech CEOs have admitted that they are distributing much of their work to AI, according to CNET. This migration of functions to AI has led to a wave of layoffs and fewer job openings. A series of executive (执行的) orders related to AI safety issued by former US President Joe Biden have been revoked by President Donald Trump, reducing limitations on big tech. In this regard, last week, Google lifted a ban on the use of AI in the development of weapons and surveillance (监视) tools. Another very common use by workers is to use AI to correct and review their work already done. Although this action requires some critical thinking, researchers warn that long-term use can destroy the ability to synthesize. 32. Which part of the thought pyramid is most affected by AI? A. Practising. B. Comparing. C. Understanding. D. Synthesizing. 33. Why is workforce decrease in business mentioned? A. To show AI damages economy. B. To indicate AI-related job loss. C. To advise workers to raise efficiency. D. To prove AI has more critical thinking. 34. What does the underlined word “revoked” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Analyzed. B. Cancelled. C. Considered. D. Strengthened. 35. What can be inferred from Google lifting the AI use ban? A. AI safety is no longer a concern. B. Google leads in AI military fields. C. People grow more inclusive of AI. D. The previous ban ignores the reality. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕人工智能（AI）对人类思维及社会多方面的影响展开论述，通过引用研究、报告及实际事例，阐述了过度依赖AI对人类批判性思维能力、就业市场以及AI安全政策等方面的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University, too much reliance on these tools can cause great harm to critical thinking, as well as negatively affect the brain’s ability to combine different ideas, styles, or systems into a single idea or system. The study defined the structure of thought as a pyramid. In this way, knowledge is at the top, followed by understanding ideas, practice, comparing ideas and, finally, synthesizing them. (根据微软和卡耐基梅隆大学的研究人员的说法，过度依赖这些工具会对批判性思维造成极大的伤害，同时也会对大脑将不同的想法、风格或系统组合成一个单一的想法或系统的能力产生负面影响。该研究将思维结构定义为金字塔。这样，知识是最重要的，其次是理解思想、实践、比较思想，最后是综合思想)”可知，思维金字塔中受人工智能影响最大的部分是综合思想。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The impact of this problem is being seen mainly in the business sector. According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, there was a decrease of around 41% in the workforce. Big tech CEOs have admitted that they are distributing much of their work to AI, according to CNET. This migration of functions to AI has led to a wave of layoffs and fewer job openings.(这个问题的影响主要表现在商业领域。根据世界经济论坛发布的一份报告，劳动力减少了41%左右。据CNET报道，大型科技公司首席执行官承认，他们正在将大部分工作分配给人工智能。这种功能向人工智能的迁移导致了一波裁员和职位空缺的减少。)”可推知，文中提到商业领域劳动力减少是为了表明与人工智能相关的工作岗位流失。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“ In this regard, last week, Google lifted a ban on the use of AI in the development of weapons and surveillance (监视) tools.(在这方面，上周，谷歌取消了对在武器和监视工具开发中使用人工智能的禁令。)”可知，美国前总统乔·拜登发布的一系列与人工智能安全相关的行政命令被美国总统唐纳德·特朗普撤销，减少了对大型科技公司的限制。由此可知，revoked意为“撤销”。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A series of executive (执行的) orders related to AI safety issued by former US President Joe Biden have been revoked by President Donald Trump, reducing limitations on big tech. In this regard, last week, Google lifted a ban on the use of AI in the development of weapons and surveillance (监视) tools.(美国前总统乔·拜登发布的一系列与人工智能安全相关的行政命令被美国总统唐纳德·特朗普撤销，减少了对大型科技公司的限制。在这方面，上周，谷歌取消了对在武器和监视工具开发中使用人工智能的禁令。)”可推知，从谷歌解除人工智能使用禁令可以推断出人们对人工智能的包容性更强了。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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，其中有两项为多余选项。 How to Prepare for an Earthquake An earthquake can be a very destructive natural disaster, particularly in the Pacific Rim region.

His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home. Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug. That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today? Like we used to?” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps. That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy. The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” Timmy’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He jumped out of bed and hugged his mom tightly. “Really, Mom? That’s amazing!” They spent the morning planning all the things they would do together. They decided to go to the zoo first. As they drove to the zoo, Timmy chatted non-stop, his face glowing with happiness. Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo. Timmy laughed out loud when one panda rolled over like a clumsy ball. Mrs. Thompson photographed these precious moments, feeling a sense of contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time. However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. It was one of her most important clients. The client had an urgent question about a house they were interested in buying. Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment. Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice. She silenced her phone and put it back in her bag. She turned to Timmy and said, “Nothing is more important than this time with you, Timmy.” They spent the rest of the day at the zoo, exploring every corner, and even had a picnic lunch on the grass. By the end of the day, both Timmy and Mrs. Thompson were tired but filled with joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了房地产经纪人汤普森夫人工作忙碌，常常无暇陪伴儿子蒂米。一天，蒂米满怀期待地想和妈妈玩游戏，却被拒绝，感到失望。汤普森夫人看到儿子失望的表情后，意识到自己因专注工作而错过了儿子的童年，经过思考后决定请假陪伴儿子，她向老板说明情况后幸运地得到了一周的假期。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“她说道：“蒂米，我打算请一整周的假，就为了我们俩！””可知，第一段可描写汤普森夫人和蒂米一起游玩的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，就在他们玩耍的时候，汤普森夫人的手机响了。”可知，第二段可描写在游玩期间接到了客户的电话，汤普森夫人将手机调成静音，继续陪蒂米游玩。 2.续写线索：蒂米感到兴奋——一起游玩动物园——接到客户电话——手机调成静音——感到疲惫却喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③对……感兴趣：be interested in/take an interest in ④探索：explore/probe 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing ②感到兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1]Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句，as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
