Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 24. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment? A. She had a lot of housework to do. B. She had to attend her son at home. C. She was afraid of being looked down upon. D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents. 25. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She valued it as something special. 26. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first? A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes. B. They were concerned about the students’ safety. C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well. D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people. 27. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her? A. Humor and patience. B. Intelligence and honesty. C. Imagination and creativity. D. Self-respect and self-reliance. C Cities are often hotter than surrounding areas, a phenomenon known as the heat island effect. Recently, scientists have discovered a similar phenomenon related to rainfall which is called the “urban (城市) rainfall effect”. It means that cities tend to receive more rain than nearby rural (农村) areas. “This is everywhere,” said Dev Niyogi, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. This difference in rainfall has also grown over the last twenty years as the climate continues to warm. This effect influences all cities, especially dense and rapidly growing ones, many of which already struggle with flooding. Cities can attract rain for several reasons. First, large buildings slow down incoming storms, allowing them to release rain. In addition, the heat from buildings and roads creates warm, moist air that rises, cools, and then falls as rain. “All these factors may contribute to the urban rainfall anomaly (异常现象),” said Xinxin Sui, a graduate student involved in the research. In the United States, cities such as Houston, Miami, and New Orleans are among the most affected and have experienced severe flooding in the past. For their study, the scientists used satellite data to examine rainfall in over 1,000 cities from 2001 to 2020. They found that nearly two-thirds of these cities receive more rain than nearby rural areas. This effect has almost doubled in the past two decades, partly due to urban expansion and rising temperatures. Warmer air can hold more moisture, making rainfall heavier. The researchers also found that the bigger a city’s population is, the larger the gap in rainfall amounts between urban and rural areas. Niyogi suggests that city planners should take these findings seriously and prepare for the increased rainfall to prevent flooding. At the same time, cities have an opportunity to better manage water resources by redirecting extra rainwater underground to refill groundwater supplies for future use. “We should think more about how we want to manage our water resources,” he said, as “there is an opportunity here.” 28. What do we know about the urban rainfall effect? A. It only happens in a few large cities. B. It has remained unchanged in recent years. C. It means cities receive more rain than nearby areas. D. It causes cities to become cooler than nearby areas. 29. Why did the author mention Houston, Miami, and New Orleans in paragraph 2? A. To compare their rainfall with other cities. B. To explain how these cities prevent flooding. C. To show that these cities are the largest in the US. D. To give examples of cities influenced by increased rainfall. 30. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The causes of temperature rise in cities. B. The research findings on urban rainfall. C. The differences between small and large cities. D. The ways the scientists collected research data. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. City planners are ignoring the problem of flooding. B. Increasing rainfall can be turned into something useful. C. Groundwater supplies are already enough in most cities. D. Cities will no longer face groundwater shortages in the future. D “I just need you to validate (认可) my feelings.” It’s a phrase constantly heard — and it reveals something fascinating about our cultural moment. Validation has become the currency of care, the thing we believe we need most from others. But what if the deepest human need is to know we matter — regardless of whether others see things our way? Validation came into psychology as a corrective tool. In the mid-20th century, Carl Rogers advocated empathetic(同理心的) listening and unconditional positive regard, reacting against then mainstream practice, which often interpreted, corrected, or reframed(重新构建的) clients’ experiences. To him, validation meant: your feelings exist, they make sense within your internal world, and they deserve to be heard. However, as psychological language migrated into (融入) popular culture, validation gradually detached(脱节) from its clinical roots. It changed into a broader moral expectation: if I feel something, others should validate it. This shift has had profound consequences and validation becomes an exhausting(异常繁重的) test, a relational chore, a skill to perform. In fact, what most of us are really looking for when we look for validation is being valued. Being valued does not depend on moment-to-moment agreement, nor does it require constant confirmation(确认). Being valued means being seen as a whole person and accepted regardless of the experience one is having. When someone is valued, they can be corrected without being devalued(贬低价值); they can be disagreed with without feeling rejected. A parent who values their child can say, “I love you, and I’m not buying you that toy.” Validation may ease an emotional state, but being valued shapes the self. Validation can be spoken; value is felt. The exit from(摆脱) endless validation-seeking is clear: learn to distinguish between having emotions and being defined. A mature sense of worth comes from internalized experiences of being valued: by others first, and eventually by yourself. It grows when you can reflect on your emotions, differentiate(区分) past from present, and remain solid even when your perceptions are challenged. This is what allows both connection and growth. 32. Why did Carl Rogers stand for validation? A. To follow mainstream opinion. B. To correct patients’ conclusions. C. To make validation a destination. D. To value clients’ inner experience. 33. What does the underlined “this shift” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The unwillingness to reflect. B. The fear of moral expectation. C. The enthusiasm for popular culture. D. The strong desire for full agreement. 34. What does the author agree with about being valued? A. It helps construct self-concept. B. It provides constant agreement. C. It offers psychological security. D. It avoids various forms of correction. 35. What enables people’s connection and growth? A. The constant challenge of validation. B. The pursuit of a realistic sense of self. C. A rejection of internalized experiences. D. A changeable and questioning mindset. 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。 Poyang Lake: A Paradise for Migratory (迁徙的) Birds On a viewing platform at Poyang Lake, a group of students are excitedly watching thousands of birds flying and resting in the wetlands. This lively scene is the result of China’s great efforts in wetland protection. Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake, serves as a vital stop on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Every winter, about 700,000 birds of nearly 400 species stay here. This includes most of the world’s Siberian white cranes (白鹤). 36 For these migratory birds, the long journey starts in northeast China, passes through many wetlands, and finally ends at this warm lake. To protect the lake and its wildlife, many effective measures have been taken. The reserve now uses high-definition cameras, drones, and AI technology to monitor birds 24 hours a day. 37 And this technology helps rangers(护林员) spot sick birds or illegal activities quickly. 38 A complete fishing ban and strict pollution rules have greatly improved the water quality. The government has also set aside specific areas for the birds to find food. With more fish and plants in the lake, the birds now have enough food to survive the winter. Local communities also play an important role. In the past, some villagers made a living by fishing or farming near the lake, which disturbed the birds. 39 Many former fishermen have become bird watchers or tour guides. They now realize that a healthy lake brings more visitors and a better life. International support is also key to this success. Projects supported by global organizations train workers and show that protection and development can go together. 40 The return of rare birds proves that years of hard work have finally paid off. A. Now, the situation has completely changed. B. This lake is not just a resting place, but an important destination for their survival. C. As a result, the number of tourists visiting the lake has dropped sharply. D. Many countries along the flyway have joined hands to protect the habitats. E. This advanced system collects data without disturbing birds. F. However, technology is not the only solution. G. Nevertheless, the water quality in the lake is still getting worse. 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。 When my dad planned a trip to Barton Springs Pool in the heart of Texas Hill Country, I was not really into it, so I went along 41 .

It got an 8.7 out of 10 high score on Chinese review platform Douban. With a 57 (power) narrative, the film recreates a chapter of heartbreaking national memory and stirs deep historical 58 (reflect). Set during the fall of Nanjing in 1937, the story follows 59 group of ordinary people sheltering in a photo studio. 60 (force) to develop photos for the Japanese military to survive at the beginning, they 61 (accidental) discover negatives (底片) revealing war atrocities (暴行). They risk their lives to preserve the evidence and expose the war crimes. Unlike other war-themed works, Dead to Rights avoids war epics (叙事) that focus 62 grand battle scenes. Instead, it uses photography as a medium to convey the horror of war with indirect yet deeply affecting visuals. Japanese soldiers twisted (扭曲) Confucian virtues like “Ren” while 63 (commit) unspeakable crimes. In the final montage, old wartime ruins filmed by the invaders fade into the busy and noisy streets of modern Nanjing.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The day had finally arrived.For weeks,my team—Maya,Jake,and I—had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day,when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense(紧锣密布的).We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas,before we finally focused on"FashionHut"with creative handicrafts.Maya loved herbs.She made candles that smelled like flowers with used jars.Jake,skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets(手链)from online courses.I later contributed painted wooden keychains(钥匙扣). Together,we calculated costs,detailed market strategies,and planned pricing carefully,all of which came down to a ten-page business plan.And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee.Eventually,they approved our $300 startup loan.We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices:candles at 6,bracelets(手镯) at 4,keychains at $3.So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. "Everything's perfect,"Maya declared.Watching students flood into the gym,I believed her. But an hour passed.Then another.Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth( 摊位)named“Game On!”had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting.Next to them, "Magic Bakery"had sold out of cookies.Students walked past our "FashionHut"with barely a glance. "Maybe our prices are too high,”Jake whispered.“But if we lower prices now,we won’t make enough."I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud.We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell,we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet.We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally,I avoided talking to strangers.In class,I never raised my hand.But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work,and my friends’disappointed faces,I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke(化为乌有). 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。 I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. Maya and Jake soon joined me,and our booth gradually became crowded. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一下学期5月月考英语参考答案 1-5 CBABB 6-10 CCBAC 11-15 ACABA 16-20 ABCBA 21-23 BBC 24-27 CDBD 28-31 CDBB 32-35 DDAB 36-40 BEFAD 41-45 BDBCA 46-50 CBACB 51-55 DDACA 56. has moved 57. powerful 58. reflection 59. a 60.

After comparing the two themes, I think Street Snacks would be a more compelling(令人信服的) choice. Street snacks, which are deeply rooted in people’s daily lives, are not only affordable but also carry strong local characteristics, making it easier for viewers to relate. Moreover, filming at street stalls allows you to capture lively scenes of vendors(小贩) skillfully preparing food and people chatting happily while enjoying their snacks. This way, you can showcase the delicious food as well as the vibrant(充满活力的) atmosphere of Chinese communities.​ I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary(烹饪的、食物的) culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos! Yours, Li Hua 范文二 Dear Chris, I’m thrilled about your Taste of China series. After comparing the two themes, I think Famous Dishes would be a more compelling choice. Rooted deeply in Chinese history and culture, Famous Dishes are not merely culinary works but precious carriers of profound cultural heritage, each boasting a unique story and making it easier for viewers to grasp the essence of Chinese food culture. Moreover, filming these dishes enables you to capture chefs’ exquisite(精致的、精美的) craftsmanship, which requires strict control over ingredients and fire, as well as elegant dining scenes like traditional banquets. ​ I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos! Yours, Li Hua 第二节读后续写(满分25分) I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. My hands were shaking,but I forced a smile and walked towards a group of students chatting nearby.“Excuse me,”I said softly,my voice barely audible at first.“We have hand-made candles with flower scent,friendship bracelets and painted keychains —all made by us."To my surprise,one girl stopped and picked up a candle,her eyes lighting up.“This smells amazing!My mom will love it,"she said,buying two at once.Encouraged,I kept talking to other students, introducing our products'features and the stories behind them.(97词 ) Maya and Jake soon joined me,and our booth gradually became crowded. We laughed as we explained how Maya collected herbs for the candles,how Jake practiced weaving bracelets late at night, and how I painted each keychain with different patterns.By the end of Market Day,we had sold almost all our items.Holding the money in our hands,we hugged tightly.Not only did we repay the $300 loan,but we also made a small profit.I looked at my friends,proud of how far we'd come—and proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.(89词) 听力部分录音稿 Text 1 W: Excuse me, could you tell me where Gate 25 is?
