A 【解析】 【原文】W: Now it’s 8:00 am, time for the educational report. GCSE is the British exam taken by the students in England and Wales around the age of 16. Recently researchers at a university have confirmed the doubt of many parents and employers that some GCSEs are easier than others. The researchers found that sciences and modern languages were the hardest GCSEs to do well in. Chemistry was the hardest of the major subjects followed by physics and French. Drama was the easiest GCSE to do well in, followed by physical education, media studies, English and English literature. The number of test takers in physical education rose faster than in any other subjects last year. 147,500 students sat GCSEs in physical education last summer. However, it was a problem for the country if pupils avoided hard subjects. Fewer people would go on to study languages or sciences at university, even though they were important to Britain’s future development. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Floral Wonderland 2026 is the first official special event connected with the 2026 Shanghai International Flower Show.

Their guests have included the governor of Wisconsin, their school district leader, and professionals with wonderful jobs, from a weather scientist to an editor. Caitlin Supple started podcasting with her students two years ago. She said her goal was to give the students a creative way that is also connected to their learning. Throughout the process of creating the podcast, Supple has noticed the effect on her students. She appreciates that even her quietest students are able to show what they are learning and let their personalities shine. Eleanor, one of Supple’s former students, is now in fourth grade. She shared that working on the podcast with her class last year gave her a new way of learning. “From making the podcast, I’ve learned that there is a lot more to learning than just writing down notes,” she said. Supple also appreciates the way the podcast has helped broaden students’ ways of learning. “It has really created a love of learning; students now love to work together and to talk and think of what to say. They’ve been wanting to learn about different people and different jobs. Through the jobs, they’re learning about different career choices,” Supple said. One of the special guests interviewed for the podcast was Scholastic News Edition 3 editor Rebecca Zissou. The students asked Zissou why she wanted to be an editor. She responded, “I wanted to become an editor because I’ve always really loved storytelling, and I think everyone has a story to tell. Being an editor really allows you to just tell stories all day long, and I also really like working with other people to improve articles and make them the best that they can be.” 24.

They’ve been wanting to learn about different people and different jobs. Through the jobs, they’re learning about different career choices,” Supple said.(萨普尔也十分认可播客带给学生学习思维上的拓宽。她说道：“播客真正唤起了孩子们的学习热情。如今大家乐于协作交流、动脑构思表达内容，也主动想去了解形形色色的人与各类职业，并借此认识不同的职业发展方向。”)”可知，Supple对于播客持支持态度。 C A mother-daughter team of citizen scientists has discovered the world’s largest known coral (珊瑚) group on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, measuring about 111 meters across and covering about 3,973 square meters. The discovery was made late last year by Sophie Kalkowski-Pope and her mother Jan Pope, who is an experienced diver and underwater photographer. Jan had visited the site a week earlier and found something unusual. When they returned together with measuring tools, Sophie immediately realized how important this discovery was. The size of this Pavona clavus coral was determined through underwater measurements carried out by humans and high-resolution images taken from above the water. The data was then used to create a 3D model, which will help scientists monitor changes over time by making direct comparisons in future years. Scientists have noted that this area experiences less exposure (暴露) to storm waves compared to other parts of the Great Barrier Reef. They are now studying whether these conditions have helped this massive coral survive and grow so large. The exact location has not been announced to protect it from unexpected harm. The Great Barrier Reef is the planet’s largest living structure and home to countless species. However, it has suffered serious mass bleaching (白化) events in recent years due to record-high ocean temperatures. When corals bleach, they lose the algae (藻类) living inside them that provide food, which can be deadly. Since 2023, over 80% of the world’s ocean reefs have been influenced by an ongoing global bleaching event. This discovery was part of the Great Reef Census, a protection project that uses over 100 boats to collect reef images. The project aims to find out the key conditions for reef recovery, helping scientists and managers carry out protection work more effectively. Citizens of the Reef started this survey to enrich existing monitoring programs by collecting large amounts of data, with the help of people working on the water and thousands of citizen scientists around the world. An ocean expert from the University of Derby said that this group is bigger than any coral he has personally seen. He stressed that this discovery is especially important at a time when many corals are struggling due to disease, bleaching, physical damage and pollution. 28. How was the size of the coral confirmed? A. Through a 3D model. B. By observing its color. C. Through measurements and photos. D. By comparing it with other corals. 29. What can we learn about the new-found coral group from paragraph 4? A. Its location is kept secret to protect it. B. Strong waves are common in its living area. C. Scientists have fully understood why it grew so large. D. Its environmental conditions are the same as those in other areas. 30. What is the main purpose of the Great Reef Census? A. To train more people as citizen scientists. B. To find the largest coral group in the world. C. To replace existing government monitoring programs. D. To make more effective protection for the Great Reef. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The serious threats facing the Great Barrier Reef. B. The discovery of a coral group by citizen scientists. C. The methods used to measure and study coral groups. D. The importance of citizen scientists in ocean protection. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述一对母女民间科学家在澳大利亚大堡礁发现目前已知全球最大珊瑚群，介绍珊瑚尺寸核验方式、生长环境保护举措，同时提及大堡礁面临白化危机，还说明了此次发现所属珊瑚普查项目的意义，凸显该重大发现的科研与保护价值。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The size of this Pavona clavus coral was determined through underwater measurements carried out by humans and high-resolution images taken from above the water.(这块柱形牡丹珊瑚的尺寸，通过人工水下测量以及水上拍摄的高清影像得以确定。)”可知，该珊瑚的尺寸通过人工水下测量和高空高清影像得以确定。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The exact location has not been announced to protect it from unexpected harm.(为避免其遭受意外破坏，确切位置暂未公布。)”可知，位置保密是为了保护珊瑚。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段 “The project aims to find out the key conditions for reef recovery, helping scientists and managers carry out protection work more effectively.(该项目旨在探寻珊瑚礁修复的关键条件，助力科研人员与管理人员更高效地开展保护工作。)”可知，大堡礁普查的目的是助力大堡礁开展高效保护。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A mother-daughter team of citizen scientists has discovered the world’s largest known coral (珊瑚) group on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef(一对母女民间科研爱好者，在澳大利亚大堡礁发现了目前已知全球规模最大的珊瑚群。)”可知，文章主要讲述了民间科学家发现巨型珊瑚群。 D As millions of Americans crowd highways and airports this Thanksgiving week, Amtrak is facing an unexpected surge: a record 36.2 million passengers in the year 2025, up by a remarkable 10 percent from the year earlier. But while ridership is sharply increasing, the country’s aging rail infrastructure (基础设施) remains far from ready to meet the demand. Amtrak’s popularity comes as the broader travel industry cools. According to the 2025 Deloitte Holiday Travel Survey, more than half of Americans plan to travel between Thanksgiving and early January, the highest in five years, but they’re spending less overall. Average trip budgets (预算) are down by 18 percent, and many travelers are choosing to drive or take the train instead of flying to save money. That change is benefiting Amtrak, whose ticket prices are typically lower than those of airlines on short routes and attract cost-conscious travelers tired of packed airports and rising ticket prices. The Deloitte survey also found that Generation Z and millennials now make up half of all U.S. holiday travelers, a general change that is reshaping not only where Americans go but how they get there. Younger travelers tend toward more affordable, lower-carbon choices and increasingly see rail as an environmentally friendly choice. Yet as more travelers rediscover rail, experts warn the U.S. lacks the infrastructure needed to keep that trend (趋势). The country’s failure to modernize its rail network comes from years of government ignoring. That imbalance has left the U.S. far behind some other countries. China has built more than 25,000 miles of high-speed rail since 2008, while France’s TGV network regularly runs trains above 180 mph. By contrast, no Amtrak line meets international high-speed standards. A May 2025 Bechtel Group report said the U.S. has found it hard to build high-speed rail because of a shortage of money, slow and difficult official agreements, hard-to-get land, and delivery systems that have not kept up with the development of the projects. Transportation supporters say the increase in train travel could mark a turning point — but only if government officers treat it as more than a seasonal irregularity. Enthusiasm alone won’t translate into a stronger rail network without a long-term political and financial base. 32. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Choice. B. Competition. C. Failure. D. Increase. 33. Why do more American holiday travelers prefer trains? A. They help them save money on traveling. B. Trains offer greater comfort and pleasure. C. Train stations are less crowded than airports. D. Train schedules are more flexible and dependable. 34. What can be learned about younger U.S. travelers from the Deloitte survey? A. Their travel habits are changing the industry. B. They prefer flying for its speed and convenience. C. They are the main cause of airport overcrowding. D. They are less interested in holiday travel than the old. 35. What is the main reason why the U.S. falls behind in rail development? A. Low passenger need. B. Years of little official attention. C. Shortage of skilled engineers. D. Absence of advanced technology. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了感恩节期间美国铁路公司乘客量大幅增长的现象，分析了背后的原因，并指出了美国铁路基础设施老化、发展滞后的问题及其根源。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据根据第一段“As millions of Americans crowd highways and airports this Thanksgiving week, Amtrak is facing an unexpected  surge: a record 36.2 million passengers in the year 2025, up by a remarkable 10 percent from the year earlier. (在这个感恩节周，数百万美国人涌上高速公路和机场，而美国铁路公司却面临着一股意想不到的surge：2025年乘客人数达到创纪录的3620万，比前一年大幅增长了10%。)”根据本句冒号后的内容的句意可知，这是对surge的具体解释，表明乘客人数创新高且大幅增长，surge在这里应表示“增长”或“激增”之意。A. Choice选择；B. Competition竞争；C. Failure失败；D. Increase增加。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Average trip budgets (预算) are down by 18 percent, and many travelers are choosing to drive or take the train instead of flying to save money. (平均旅行预算下降了18%，而且许多旅行者为了省钱，正选择开车或乘火车出行，而不是乘飞机。)”可知，句末的不定式短语to save money为目的状语，直接表明许多旅行者选择自驾或乘坐火车的目的是为了省钱。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The Deloitte survey also found that Generation Z and millennials now make up half of all U. S. holiday travelers, a general change that is reshaping not only where Americans go but how they get there. (德勤调查还发现，Z世代和千禧一代现在占美国所有假日旅行者的一半，这一普遍变化不仅正在重塑美国人的出行目的地，也在改变他们的出行方式。)”可知，年轻旅行者的出行习惯正在改变整个旅行行业。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The country’s failure to modernize its rail network comes from years of government ignoring. (该国未能实现铁路网络现代化，源于政府多年来的忽视。)”可知，美国在铁路发展方面落后的主要原因是多年来官方缺乏关注。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People have long been told not to work out shortly before going to bed. ____36____ Here, we share some useful tips to make your pre-bedtime workout safe and helpful. Research has clearly shown that low-to moderate-intensity (低到中等强度的) exercise before bed is not bad for sleep. ____37____ Going for an evening walk, an easy jog or a gentle bike ride can help you relax and lift your mood. ____38____ Some studies say high-intensity workouts before bed have little bad influence on sleep, but others believe they can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Timing plays an important role here. You should finish high-intensity exercise at least three hours before bed, so your body can calm down and return to its resting state. You may need to try different plans to find the best evening exercise routine for yourself. If you can only exercise in the evening, working out at night is better than not exercising at all. Experts also point out that everyone’s body reacts differently to evening exercise. ____39____ If you enjoy doing intense exercise at night, you may need to plan carefully, even by getting a little less sleep one or two nights a week. Also, avoid exercising in very bright light before bed, as it can influence your body’s natural sleep clock. ____40____ With simple self-tests and healthy sleep habits, you can create a routine that helps both your fitness and your sleep. A. The key is to listen to your body. B. Not all kinds of evening exercise are the same. C. And it may even help you sleep more soundly. D. Most importantly, don’t be discouraged from exercising. E. It’s not easy to find out a balance between exercise and study. F. Daily exercise plays an important role in weight management. G. But several new studies show evening exercise may not harm your sleep. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述睡前安全运动的实用建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“People have long been told not to work out shortly before going to bed.(长久以来，人们一直被告知睡前不宜立刻运动。)”和下文“Here, we share some useful tips to make your pre-bedtime workout safe and helpful.(在此，我们分享一些实用小贴士，让睡前运动既安全又有益。)”可知，上文指出长期公认睡前不宜立刻运动，下文分享睡前运动的益处技巧，前后语义转折。G项“但多项新研究表明，晚间运动或许并不会损害睡眠。”以But转折，衔接旧观点与新研究结论，符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Research has clearly shown that low-to moderate-intensity (低到中等强度的) exercise before bed is not bad for sleep.(研究已然证实，睡前进行低至中等强度的运动并不会影响睡眠。)”可知，上文指出中低强度睡前运动无害睡眠。C项“它甚至还能让你睡得更安稳。”递进补充运动对睡眠的积极作用，符合语境。 【38题详解】 根据下文“Some studies say high-intensity workouts before bed have little bad influence on sleep, but others believe they can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Timing plays an important role here. You should finish high-intensity exercise at least three hours before bed, so your body can calm down and return to its resting state.(部分研究认为，睡前高强度运动对睡眠几乎没有负面影响，但也有研究表明，这类运动会让人入睡困难、睡眠易惊醒。运动时间把控尤为关键，高强度运动至少要在睡前三小时结束，让身体平复下来，恢复到放松状态。)”可知，下文分别阐述高强度运动对睡眠存在不同争议。B项“并非所有晚间运动效果都一致。” 总起本段，引出不同强度运动的差异影响。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Experts also point out that everyone’s body reacts differently to evening exercise.(专家也指出，每个人的身体对晚间运动的反应各不相同。)”可知，上文说明每个人身体对晚间运动反应各不相同。A项“关键是遵从自身身体感受。”顺承个体差异，提出贴合自身情况运动的建议。 【40题详解】 根据下文“With simple self-tests and healthy sleep habits, you can create a routine that helps both your fitness and your sleep.(结合自我感受调整作息、养成健康睡眠习惯，就能打造兼顾健身与睡眠的日常作息。)”可知，下文指出摸索习惯可兼顾健身与睡眠。D项“最重要的是，不要放弃运动。”总结收尾，鼓励坚持晚间合理运动。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Years ago, we moved to another island.

Every day after school, his schedule was the same: rush home, drop his schoolbag, and immediately sit before his computer to play video games. He spent hours shooting monsters and collecting coins. His mother often knocked on his door, saying, “Leo, don’t stay indoors all day. Why not go out and do something nice, such as giving a hand to those in need?” But Leo just rolled his eyes and turned up the game volume (音量). He thought helping others was boring and a waste of time. One afternoon, while walking home from school, Leo noticed a primary school student sitting alone and crying sadly on a bench near the park. When Leo walked closer, he realized it was Timmy, a boy living in his community and always walking with his head down. They had never talked. At first, Leo walked past him, thinking it was none of his business. But after a few steps, he felt a strange pull in his heart. He stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around. “Hey, what’s the matter?” Leo asked softly. Timmy looked up with tears in his eyes, his face burning red with sadness. “I lost my key,” Timmy replied. “My parents won’t be back until six. I don’t know what to do. It’s getting dark, and I’m afraid.” His voice was shaking. Leo hesitated. Helping a crying kid was the last thing he wanted to do. But seeing Timmy’s helpless look, he could not just leave. “Come with me,” Leo said. He led Timmy to a nearby small shop, bought two bottles of juice, and then sat down with him on the bench. As they drank, Timmy slowly began to calm down. Timmy told Leo that he didn’t do well in his studies. Besides, he had no friends and often felt very lonely. Leo listened carefully. 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。 Hearing his story, Leo decided to help Timmy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With their efforts, Timmy’s life changed greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing his story, Leo decided to help Timmy. He offered to stay with Timmy until his parents came back, encouraged him not to feel upset and even promised to help him with his studies. From that day on, Leo met Timmy at the park after school, patiently helping Timmy with his weak subjects. On weekends, he sometimes invited Timmy to join in outdoor activities. Whenever Timmy felt sad or lonely, Leo would stay by his side, chatting with him and lifting his spirits. Besides, Leo introduced Timmy to his own classmates, helping him build new friendships. With their efforts, Timmy’s life changed greatly. He gradually caught up with his classmates and made steady progress in studies. Instead of feeling lonely, he became outgoing and active. He began to smile often and got along well with classmates. Surprisingly, Leo gained a lot at the same time. He realized that helping others was full of warmth and meaning, rather than boring or a waste of time. He gradually cut down on game time and grew into a kind, thoughtful and warm-hearted teenager. It turned out that small acts of kindness can brighten others’ days and also shape us into better people. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了14岁的利奥原本只顾沉迷游戏，认为助人无趣又浪费时间。某天放学路上，他偶遇独自哭泣的邻居小男孩蒂米，起初打算漠视离开，内心触动后主动上前安慰陪伴。相处中利奥得知蒂米丢了钥匙，还因学业不佳、缺少朋友倍感孤单，这次经历也悄然改变了利奥对帮助他人的看法。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写利奥安慰蒂米，如何帮助他提高学业以及帮助他交新朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写蒂米发生的积极变化以及利奥的感悟。 2.续写线索：劝慰蒂米——帮助辅导功课——帮助交朋友——产生积极影响——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①孤独的：lonely/isolated ②难过的：upset/sorrowful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Besides, Leo introduced Timmy to his own classmates, helping him build new friendships.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] He realized that helping others was full of warmth and meaning, rather than boring or a waste of time.（运用了that引导宾语从句，动名词短语作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ HUN202605 高一英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。 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2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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Their guests have included the governor of Wisconsin, their school district leader, and professionals with wonderful jobs, from a weather scientist to an editor. Caitlin Supple started podcasting with her students two years ago. She said her goal was to give the students a creative way that is also connected to their learning. Throughout the process of creating the podcast, Supple has noticed the effect on her students. She appreciates that even her quietest students are able to show what they are learning and let their personalities shine. Eleanor, one of Supple’s former students, is now in fourth grade. She shared that working on the podcast with her class last year gave her a new way of learning. “From making the podcast, I’ve learned that there is a lot more to learning than just writing down notes,” she said. Supple also appreciates the way the podcast has helped broaden students’ ways of learning. “It has really created a love of learning; students now love to work together and to talk and think of what to say. They’ve been wanting to learn about different people and different jobs. Through the jobs, they’re learning about different career choices,” Supple said. One of the special guests interviewed for the podcast was Scholastic News Edition 3 editor Rebecca Zissou. The students asked Zissou why she wanted to be an editor.

C A mother-daughter team of citizen scientists has discovered the world’s largest known coral (珊瑚) group on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, measuring about 111 meters across and covering about 3,973 square meters. The discovery was made late last year by Sophie Kalkowski-Pope and her mother Jan Pope, who is an experienced diver and underwater photographer. Jan had visited the site a week earlier and found something unusual. When they returned together with measuring tools, Sophie immediately realized how important this discovery was. The size of this Pavona clavus coral was determined through underwater measurements carried out by humans and high-resolution images taken from above the water. The data was then used to create a 3D model, which will help scientists monitor changes over time by making direct comparisons in future years. Scientists have noted that this area experiences less exposure (暴露) to storm waves compared to other parts of the Great Barrier Reef. They are now studying whether these conditions have helped this massive coral survive and grow so large. The exact location has not been announced to protect it from unexpected harm. The Great Barrier Reef is the planet’s largest living structure and home to countless species. However, it has suffered serious mass bleaching (白化) events in recent years due to record-high ocean temperatures. When corals bleach, they lose the algae (藻类) living inside them that provide food, which can be deadly. Since 2023, over 80% of the world’s ocean reefs have been influenced by an ongoing global bleaching event. This discovery was part of the Great Reef Census, a protection project that uses over 100 boats to collect reef images. The project aims to find out the key conditions for reef recovery, helping scientists and managers carry out protection work more effectively. Citizens of the Reef started this survey to enrich existing monitoring programs by collecting large amounts of data, with the help of people working on the water and thousands of citizen scientists around the world. An ocean expert from the University of Derby said that this group is bigger than any coral he has personally seen. He stressed that this discovery is especially important at a time when many corals are struggling due to disease, bleaching, physical damage and pollution. 28. How was the size of the coral confirmed? A. Through a 3D model. B. By observing its color. C. Through measurements and photos. D. By comparing it with other corals. 29. What can we learn about the new-found coral group from paragraph 4? A. Its location is kept secret to protect it. B. Strong waves are common in its living area. C. Scientists have fully understood why it grew so large. D. Its environmental conditions are the same as those in other areas. 30. What is the main purpose of the Great Reef Census? A. To train more people as citizen scientists. B. To find the largest coral group in the world. C. To replace existing government monitoring programs. D. To make more effective protection for the Great Reef. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The serious threats facing the Great Barrier Reef. B. The discovery of a coral group by citizen scientists. C. The methods used to measure and study coral groups. D. The importance of citizen scientists in ocean protection. D As millions of Americans crowd highways and airports this Thanksgiving week, Amtrak is facing an unexpected surge: a record 36.2 million passengers in the year 2025, up by a remarkable 10 percent from the year earlier. But while ridership is sharply increasing, the country’s aging rail infrastructure (基础设施) remains far from ready to meet the demand. Amtrak’s popularity comes as the broader travel industry cools. According to the 2025 Deloitte Holiday Travel Survey, more than half of Americans plan to travel between Thanksgiving and early January, the highest in five years, but they’re spending less overall. Average trip budgets (预算) are down by 18 percent, and many travelers are choosing to drive or take the train instead of flying to save money. That change is benefiting Amtrak, whose ticket prices are typically lower than those of airlines on short routes and attract cost-conscious travelers tired of packed airports and rising ticket prices. The Deloitte survey also found that Generation Z and millennials now make up half of all U.S. holiday travelers, a general change that is reshaping not only where Americans go but how they get there. Younger travelers tend toward more affordable, lower-carbon choices and increasingly see rail as an environmentally friendly choice. Yet as more travelers rediscover rail, experts warn the U.S. lacks the infrastructure needed to keep that trend (趋势). The country’s failure to modernize its rail network comes from years of government ignoring. That imbalance has left the U.S. far behind some other countries. China has built more than 25,000 miles of high-speed rail since 2008, while France’s TGV network regularly runs trains above 180 mph. By contrast, no Amtrak line meets international high-speed standards. A May 2025 Bechtel Group report said the U.S. has found it hard to build high-speed rail because of a shortage of money, slow and difficult official agreements, hard-to-get land, and delivery systems that have not kept up with the development of the projects. Transportation supporters say the increase in train travel could mark a turning point — but only if government officers treat it as more than a seasonal irregularity. Enthusiasm alone won’t translate into a stronger rail network without a long-term political and financial base. 32. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Choice. B. Competition. C. Failure. D. Increase. 33. Why do more American holiday travelers prefer trains? A. They help them save money on traveling. B. Trains offer greater comfort and pleasure. C. Train stations are less crowded than airports. D. Train schedules are more flexible and dependable. 34. What can be learned about younger U.S. travelers from the Deloitte survey? A. Their travel habits are changing the industry. B. They prefer flying for its speed and convenience. C. They are the main cause of airport overcrowding. D. They are less interested in holiday travel than the old. 35. What is the main reason why the U.S. falls behind in rail development? A. Low passenger need. B. Years of little official attention. C. Shortage of skilled engineers. D. Absence of advanced technology. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People have long been told not to work out shortly before going to bed. ____36____ Here, we share some useful tips to make your pre-bedtime workout safe and helpful.

Every day after school, his schedule was the same: rush home, drop his schoolbag, and immediately sit before his computer to play video games. He spent hours shooting monsters and collecting coins. His mother often knocked on his door, saying, “Leo, don’t stay indoors all day. Why not go out and do something nice, such as giving a hand to those in need?” But Leo just rolled his eyes and turned up the game volume (音量). He thought helping others was boring and a waste of time. One afternoon, while walking home from school, Leo noticed a primary school student sitting alone and crying sadly on a bench near the park. When Leo walked closer, he realized it was Timmy, a boy living in his community and always walking with his head down. They had never talked. At first, Leo walked past him, thinking it was none of his business. But after a few steps, he felt a strange pull in his heart. He stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around. “Hey, what’s the matter?” Leo asked softly. Timmy looked up with tears in his eyes, his face burning red with sadness. “I lost my key,” Timmy replied. “My parents won’t be back until six. I don’t know what to do. It’s getting dark, and I’m afraid.” His voice was shaking. Leo hesitated. Helping a crying kid was the last thing he wanted to do. But seeing Timmy’s helpless look, he could not just leave. “Come with me,” Leo said. He led Timmy to a nearby small shop, bought two bottles of juice, and then sat down with him on the bench. As they drank, Timmy slowly began to calm down. Timmy told Leo that he didn’t do well in his studies. Besides, he had no friends and often felt very lonely. Leo listened carefully. 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。 Hearing his story, Leo decided to help Timmy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With their efforts, Timmy’s life changed greatly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
