Among various Chinese foods, I highly recommend Peking Duck and dumplings. Peking Duck is a top traditional dish with crispy skin and fresh meat. Dumplings are classic folk food, filled with vegetables or meat, and they stand for good wishes in Chinese culture. When having meals in China, you need to pay attention to some manners. We use chopsticks daily. Never stick chopsticks upright in the bowl of rice, which is considered bad luck. Moreover, it’s rude to tap bowls with chopsticks or talk loudly during dinner. I’m really looking forward to your coming. I hope to hang out with you and taste delicious Chinese food together.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A 14-year-old Girl Built an App to Help Alzheimer’s Patients (老年痴呆症患者) For many teenagers, their lives typically might circle around schoolwork and spending time with friends. Not so for Emma Yang. Though the Hong Kong-born girl is only 14, she 1 (create) her own mobile app for Alzheimer’s patients already. The Timeless app, which Yang spent two years 2 (develop), comes with several important features. It is an artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition system in the app 3 helps Alzheimer’s patients identify people in photos and remember who they are. It also allows photos 4 (group) by individuals as well as provides a picture-based phone book, which enables a user to tap on photos to call or text a person. The inspiration to develop an app that would help Alzheimer’s patients connect with their loved ones came to Yang at the age of 12, when her grandmother started forgetting things like 5 she lived and Yang’s birthday. “I wanted to create something to help people like my grandmother stay 6 (close) to her family than before,” Yang said. It was a task she was well-prepared to undertake, 7 venture capitalists didn’t take her work seriously. Yang started a crowdfunding campaign in March last year 8 (support) her Timeless app project. That effort raised more than US$10,000. At present, Yang works with an international team that includes a designer in California and a developer in Cologne, Germany. The chief technology officer of Kairos, the AI company whose technology is used in the Timeless app, is now Yang’s adviser. Yang urged other young, ambitious people to believe in 9 because the teenagers of today will be tomorrow’s leaders. “Technology 10 help kids turn their ideas into action,” she said. “As long as you get out there and put yourself out there, tell people about your idea and find out who’s on board and can get behind it, you’ll eventually find that team of people.” Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．permanently  B．spread  C．pursuing  D．sacrifice  E．objectively  F．significant G．sources  H．available  I．measures  J．presenting  K．achieve In the digital age, where information floods every corner of our lives, the role of journalists has become more crucial than ever. As the gatekeepers of information, they are responsible for sorting through the vast sea of data and 11 the public with accurate and reliable news. In the past, journalists relied mainly on traditional 12 such as interviews, official documents, and on-site investigations. These methods provided a relatively stable and trustworthy foundation for news reporting. However, the digital revolution has changed the game. Today, a vast amount of information online is 13 to them. Social media platforms, for instance, have become 14 channels for news collecting. But the information on these platforms is often unchecked, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Journalists need to be more cautious and take extra 15 to ensure the information they obtain is true. One of the challenges journalists face is the issue of instant news. In the digital age, the pressure to break news first is intense. This has led to a situation where false information can 16 quickly. Some people may take advantage of the flaws in information checking systems to 17 certain goals, which can mislead the public. Journalists must follow high ethical standards and report the news 18 . They should present different perspectives on an issue to give the audience a comprehensive understanding. Another aspect is the need to make news more accessible to the public. With the increasing competition in the media industry, journalists need to use multimedia elements to present news in a more interesting and engaging way. However, journalists should not 19 the quality of the news. They still need to focus on providing in-depth and accurate reports instead of 20 superficial attention-grabbing strategies. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It is part of being human,” says a researcher who studies procrastination. “We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination 21 : We want to feel good right now. The only way to do this is to avoid the task.” You can procrastinate on almost anything, even 22 tasks like planning a holiday. About 20 percent of us are long-term procrastinators. One reason is fear of failures. Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years. That 23 to take action only made her believe she would never do better. “It is all fear of being judged,” Saginak says. “If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be 24 with others’ opinions. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure. But researchers 25 . They did an experiment, putting procrastinators under 26 of time. In fact, the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators, but they 27 they did better. Whatever the 28 is (or lack of it), procrastination is usually bad for you. Delaying a diet may increase your risk of heart disease. Just thinking about things you haven’t done may cause 29 . “Procrastinators feel more stressed, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own 30 and critical feelings about their procrastination,” says Fuschia, a psychology lecturer. For those who need motivation, the best advice may be to 31 . “We used to think behaviors follow our attitude,” Pychyl says. “But if you can make small 32 , even a little, it will push you forward.” Next, try sending yourself signals to action. You can use a timer to make your lights dim (变暗) slowly. This will help you keep a(n) 33 bedtime. Researchers tested this idea and it worked on most of the subjects. “They formed a(n) 34 ,” researchers say. “When the lights start to dim, people know it is time to go to bed.” Finally, 35 yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you pay the bills, watch your favorite TV show. 21．A．comes down to B．runs out of C．puts up with D．breaks through 22．A．repetitive B．household C．educational D．enjoyable 23．A．opportunity B．inflexibility C．inability D．desire 24．A．concerned B．faced C．satisfied D．impressed 25．A．observe B．disagree C．cooperate D．confirm 26．A．concept B．progression C．restriction D．length 27．A．realized B．doubted C．assumed D．ignored 28．A．consequence B．motivation C．occasion D．origin 29．A．variation B．reaction C．sympathy D．discomfort 30．A．negative B．intense C．emotional D．indescribable 31．A．think small B．break the limits C．aim high D．stay calm 32．A．progress B．changes C．mistakes D．efforts 33．A．relaxing B．consistent C．early D．irregular 34．A．intention B．opinion C．comparison D．identity 35．A．challenge B．prepare C．improve D．reward Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands trembled slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 36．Why did the author want to get home quickly? A．She was tired after a day of work. B．She was eager to meet her grandson. C．She didn’t like shopping at that store. D．She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class. 37．What made the old man choose to put the cookies back? A．His own preference. B．Lack of money. C．High price of the cookies. D．The cashier’s suggestion. 38．How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies? A．Embarrassed and angry. B．Doubtful and cautious. C．Surprised and grateful. D．Indifferent and calm. 39．What message does the text mainly want to convey? A．Patience is a virtue in public. B．Kindness can create connections. C．Elderly people need more pensions. D．Family bonds are the most valuable. (B) With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! We’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Grosvenor Park, Chester Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio: The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. Seeing anything at all, backgrounded by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare. Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire Throughout most of the year, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s indoor concert hall and studio serve as their regular performance spaces. But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain. This year they’ll be staging Dido and Aeneas. Shakespeare in the Squares, London Is there anything more luxuriously summery than lazing down to your local square for a bit of Shakespeare and a picnic? These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year. This year will be All’s Well That Ends Well. 40．Which play fascinates the author most? A．The Gangs of New York. B．The Importance of Being Earnest. C．The Wizard of Oz. D．Little Shop of Horrors. 41．Where can you enjoy a play in the Pitlochry Festival Theatre this summer? A．On the cliff. B．In the woods. C．At a concert hall. D．On city squares. 42．What is a proper choice for a Shakespeare fan? A．Grosvenor Park and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. B．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Minack Theatre. C．Minack Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. D．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. (C) The world’s diverse forests are facing increasing threats, making effective monitoring crucial for conservation. While traditional methods like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, low-cost, solar-powered microphones have proven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in some of the planet’s most densely inhabited and biodiverse environments. Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation. RFC initially repurposed old phones into monitoring devices, but later developed a standardized unit called the Guardian. These Guardians have since been deployed in over 600 locations worldwide, acting as constant “ears” in the wilderness. Guardians are designed to capture a broad soundscape of the rainforest. “Placed high in treetops, these solar-powered devices can operate for years, continuously recording sounds and transmitting them to the cloud, where we are then able to analyze them for all sorts of things,” says White. Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land. Beyond detecting obvious threats, RFC is exploring advanced data analysis. White explains that the soundscape itself can act as a detector. In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. For example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly go silent, potentially indicating the presence of poachers. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment. This innovative bioacoustic monitoring provides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remote forests, offering a powerful tool for wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts. By understanding and reacting to the subtle sounds of nature, this technology offers a promising pathway for conservation. Furthermore, RFC also provides an app allowing the public to listen to live streams from the Ecuadorian rainforest, fostering greater awareness and connection to these vital ecosystems globally. 43．What can we know about RFC? A．It removed potential threats. B．It prioritized traditional methods. C．It recycled old electronic products. D．It initiated sound monitoring. 44．How do Guardians mainly function in forest protection? A．By analyzing sounds of wildlife. B．By identifying animal species. C．By transmitting sounds to locals. D．By sending instant warnings. 45．What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Popularized. B．Evaluated. C．Resisted. D．Marketed. 46．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．RFC: A Pioneer in Forest Conservation B．Public Apps: Platforms for Rainforest Protection C．Listening to Nature: Guardians Protecting Forests D．Monitoring Sounds: An Approach to Protecting Trees Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Why gratitude is good for you Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. 47 And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude”, showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. One reason for this, is that gratitude stops us from reflecting on negative emotions. But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. 48 As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. 49 There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is “yes”. When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. 50 And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead? A．Gratitude can also make us feel good physically. B．Therefore, it’s easy to tell that gratitude is advantageous to us. C．It is the feeling of being grateful and wanting to express our thanks. D．It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues. E．And this positive feeling gets even better with time. F．It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. IV.Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why do some animals die out? In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread over the land, they destroy animal’s homes. If the animals can’t find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes. Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves. Pollution is killing many animals today, too. As rivers become polluted, fishes are poisoned. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can’t lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out. Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there any more. If the animals can’t learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．我们不禁好奇，此次培训面向的对象是谁。(target v.) ______________________________________________________________________ 53．他花了很长时间才说服团队接受这个看似冒险的计划。（It）   ___________________________________________________________________________ 54．当下人工智能蓬勃发展，因此理性运用技术、防范潜在风险至关重要。(boom) _______________________________________________________________________________ 55．上周三他在书店发现了一本插图精美的、有关如何减轻体重的书籍，他哀求妈妈买了下来。（illustrate）（汉译英）_______________________________________________________________________________ VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 56．Directions: Write an English composition in about 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高一学生徐晶，你的外国好友Tom发来邮件，他即将来到中国游玩，向你咨询值得品尝的中华美食以及中国用餐礼仪，请你回复一封邮件，内容包含： 1. 推荐1-2道特色中国美食并简要介绍； 2. 介绍需要注意的用餐礼仪； 3. 表达期待与他一同品尝美食。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一下学期期末模拟卷（提升卷） 英语·解析版 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.

Journalists must follow high ethical standards and report the news 18 . They should present different perspectives on an issue to give the audience a comprehensive understanding. Another aspect is the need to make news more accessible to the public. With the increasing competition in the media industry, journalists need to use multimedia elements to present news in a more interesting and engaging way. However, journalists should not 19 the quality of the news. They still need to focus on providing in-depth and accurate reports instead of 20 superficial attention-grabbing strategies. 【答案】 11．J 12．G 13．H 14．F 15．I 16．B 17．K 18．E 19．D 20．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了数字时代记者面临的挑战与应对之策。 11．考查动词。句意：作为信息的守门人，他们负责在浩如烟海的数据中进行筛选，并向公众提供准确可靠的新闻。根据空前的“sorting through the vast sea of data and”以及空后的“the public with accurate and reliable news”可知，此处表示向公众提供准确可靠的新闻，应用present“呈现，提供”，与sorting through并列，用动名词形式。 12．考查名词。句意：过去，记者主要依靠传统的来源，如采访、官方文件和现场调查。根据空后的“such as interviews, official documents, and on-site investigations”可知，此处指传统的新闻来源，应用source“来源”，为可数名词，此处应用复数形式，作宾语。 13．考查形容词。句意：今天，大量的在线信息可供他们使用。根据空前的“a vast amount of information online is”以及空后的“to them”可知，此处表示大量的在线信息可供他们使用，应用available“可获得的，可利用的”，作表语。 14．考查形容词。句意：例如，社交媒体平台已经成为收集新闻的重要渠道。根据空后的“channels for news collecting”可知，此处表示社交媒体平台已经成为收集新闻的重要渠道，应用significant“重要的”，修饰名词channels，作定语。 15．考查名词。句意：记者需要更加谨慎，并采取额外措施确保他们获得的信息是真实的。根据空前的“take extra”以及空后的“to ensure the information they obtain is true”可知，此处表示采取额外措施确保信息真实，应用measures“措施”，take measures意为“采取措施”。 16．考查动词。句意：这导致了一种情况，即虚假信息可以迅速传播。根据空前的“false information can”以及空后的“quickly”可知，此处表示虚假信息可以迅速传播，应用spread“传播”，与can构成谓语。 17．考查动词。句意：有些人可能会利用信息检查系统的缺陷来实现某些目标，这可能会误导公众。根据空前的“take advantage of the flaws in information checking systems to”以及空后的“certain goals”可知，此处表示利用信息检查系统的缺陷来实现某些目标，应用achieve“实现”，与to构成不定式。 18．考查副词。句意：记者必须遵循高道德标准，客观地报道新闻。根据空前的“report the news ”可知，此处表示记者应该客观地报道新闻，应用objectively“客观地”，修饰动词report，作状语。 19．考查动词。句意：然而，记者不应该牺牲新闻的质量。根据空前的“journalists should not”以及空后的“the quality of the news”可知，此处表示记者不应该牺牲新闻的质量，应用sacrifice“牺牲”，与should not构成谓语。 20．考查动词。句意：他们仍然需要专注于提供深入和准确的报道，而不是追求肤浅的吸引眼球的策略。根据空前的“instead of”以及空后的“superficial attention-grabbing strategies”可知，此处表示而不是追求肤浅的吸引眼球的策略，应用pursue“追求”，作介词的宾语，用动名词形式。 II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It is part of being human,” says a researcher who studies procrastination. “We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination 21 : We want to feel good right now. The only way to do this is to avoid the task.” You can procrastinate on almost anything, even 22 tasks like planning a holiday. About 20 percent of us are long-term procrastinators. One reason is fear of failures. Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years. That 23 to take action only made her believe she would never do better. “It is all fear of being judged,” Saginak says. “If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be 24 with others’ opinions. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure. But researchers 25 . They did an experiment, putting procrastinators under 26 of time. In fact, the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators, but they 27 they did better. Whatever the 28 is (or lack of it), procrastination is usually bad for you. Delaying a diet may increase your risk of heart disease. Just thinking about things you haven’t done may cause 29 . “Procrastinators feel more stressed, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own 30 and critical feelings about their procrastination,” says Fuschia, a psychology lecturer. For those who need motivation, the best advice may be to 31 . “We used to think behaviors follow our attitude,” Pychyl says. “But if you can make small 32 , even a little, it will push you forward.” Next, try sending yourself signals to action. You can use a timer to make your lights dim (变暗) slowly. This will help you keep a(n) 33 bedtime. Researchers tested this idea and it worked on most of the subjects. “They formed a(n) 34 ,” researchers say. “When the lights start to dim, people know it is time to go to bed.” Finally, 35 yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you pay the bills, watch your favorite TV show. 21．A．comes down to B．runs out of C．puts up with D．breaks through 22．A．repetitive B．household C．educational D．enjoyable 23．A．opportunity B．inflexibility C．inability D．desire 24．A．concerned B．faced C．satisfied D．impressed 25．A．observe B．disagree C．cooperate D．confirm 26．A．concept B．progression C．restriction D．length 27．A．realized B．doubted C．assumed D．ignored 28．A．consequence B．motivation C．occasion D．origin 29．A．variation B．reaction C．sympathy D．discomfort 30．A．negative B．intense C．emotional D．indescribable 31．A．think small B．break the limits C．aim high D．stay calm 32．A．progress B．changes C．mistakes D．efforts 33．A．relaxing B．consistent C．early D．irregular 34．A．intention B．opinion C．comparison D．identity 35．A．challenge B．prepare C．improve D．reward 【答案】 21．A 22．D 23．C 24．B 25．B 26．C 27．C 28．B 29．D 30．A 31．A 32．A 33．B 34．A 35．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了拖延的原因、影响以及克服拖延的方法。 【详解】21．考查动词短语。句意：我们讨厌做困难的事情，这就是拖延的本质：我们现在想要立刻感觉良好。A. comes down to归结为；B. runs out of用完；C. puts up with忍受；D. breaks through突破。根据上文“We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination” 可知，这里是在解释拖延的本质是什么，comes down to“归结为” 符合题意。 22．考查形容词。句意：你几乎可以在任何事情上拖延，甚至是像计划假期这样令人愉快的任务。A. repetitive重复的；B. household家庭的；C. educational教育的；D. enjoyable令人愉快的。根据下文“like planning a holiday” 可知，计划假期通常是一件让人觉得愉快的事情。 23．考查名词。句意：那种无法采取行动的情况只会让她更加坚信自己永远不会做得更好。A. opportunity机会；B. inflexibility不灵活；C. inability无能，无法；D. desire欲望。根据文上文“Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years.”可知，Kelli Saginak多年来一直拖延找新工作，这体现了她无法采取行动。 24．考查形容词。句意：如果我不冒险、不做决定，我就不必面他人的评判。A. concerned担心的；B. faced面临的；C. satisfied满足的；D. impressed印象深刻的。根据上文“If I do not take risks, or make decisions,”可知，Saginak认为如果自己不做这些，就不用面对评判。 25．考查动词。句意：但研究人员不同意。A. observe观察；B. disagree不同意；C. cooperate合作；D. confirm确认。根据上文“Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure.”和表示转折的but可知，研究人员的观点与之不同。 26．考查名词。句意：他们做了一个实验，把拖延者置于时间的限制之下。A. concept概念；B. progression进步；C. restriction限制；D. length长度。根据下文“of time”以及“the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators”可知，这里是说将拖延者置于时间的限制中。 27．考查动词。句意：事实上，拖延者的表现不如非拖延者，但他们以为自己做得更好。A. realized意识到；B. doubted怀疑；C. assumed认为，假定；D. ignored忽视。根据上文“The procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators”和下文“did better.” 可知，这里是说拖延者虽然实际表现更差，但他们自己却认为自己做得更好，。 28．考查名词。句意：无论动机是什么（或者缺乏动机），拖延通常对你都没有好处。A. consequence结果；B. motivation动机；C. occasion场合；D. origin起源。根据上文“If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be ____ with other’s opinions.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands trembled slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 36．Why did the author want to get home quickly? A．She was tired after a day of work. B．She was eager to meet her grandson. C．She didn’t like shopping at that store.

We’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Grosvenor Park, Chester Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio: The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. Seeing anything at all, backgrounded by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare. Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire Throughout most of the year, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s indoor concert hall and studio serve as their regular performance spaces. But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain. This year they’ll be staging Dido and Aeneas. Shakespeare in the Squares, London Is there anything more luxuriously summery than lazing down to your local square for a bit of Shakespeare and a picnic? These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year. This year will be All’s Well That Ends Well. 40．Which play fascinates the author most? A．The Gangs of New York. B．The Importance of Being Earnest. C．The Wizard of Oz. D．Little Shop of Horrors. 41．Where can you enjoy a play in the Pitlochry Festival Theatre this summer? A．On the cliff. B．In the woods. C．At a concert hall. D．On city squares. 42．What is a proper choice for a Shakespeare fan? A．Grosvenor Park and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. B．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Minack Theatre. C．Minack Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. D．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. 【答案】40．A 41．B 42．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了英国各地的户外剧场以及他们即将上演的剧目。 40．细节理解题。根据“Grosvenor Park, Chester”部分第二段中“The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young.”（《纽约黑帮》、《认真的重要性》和《绿野仙踪》。我对第一个最感兴趣：由Kieran Lynn编写，John Young导演的新改编剧目。）可知，作者最感兴趣的剧目是“The Gangs of New York”。故选A。 41．细节理解题。根据“Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire”部分中“But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain.”（但是今年夏天，你可以在位于森林中并且俯瞰Ben-Y-Vrackie山的圆形剧场看到同样豪华的制作。）可知，今年夏天你可以在森林中的Pitlochry Festival Theatre欣赏到剧目，故选B。 42．细节理解题。根据“Minack Theatre, Cornwall”部分中的“This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare.”（今年将上演巡回演出的“Little Shop of Horrors”和较少为人知的莎士比亚作品。）以及“Shakespeare in the Squares, London”部分中“These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year.”（这些人做到了他们所说的，每年都会带着新的莎士比亚作品在伦敦的广场上巡回演出。）可知，莎士比亚的粉丝可以选择Minack Theatre和Shakespeare in the Squares，故选C。 (C) The world’s diverse forests are facing increasing threats, making effective monitoring crucial for conservation. While traditional methods like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, low-cost, solar-powered microphones have proven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in some of the planet’s most densely inhabited and biodiverse environments. Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation. RFC initially repurposed old phones into monitoring devices, but later developed a standardized unit called the Guardian. These Guardians have since been deployed in over 600 locations worldwide, acting as constant “ears” in the wilderness. Guardians are designed to capture a broad soundscape of the rainforest. “Placed high in treetops, these solar-powered devices can operate for years, continuously recording sounds and transmitting them to the cloud, where we are then able to analyze them for all sorts of things,” says White. Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land. Beyond detecting obvious threats, RFC is exploring advanced data analysis. White explains that the soundscape itself can act as a detector. In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. For example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly go silent, potentially indicating the presence of poachers. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment. This innovative bioacoustic monitoring provides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remote forests, offering a powerful tool for wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts. By understanding and reacting to the subtle sounds of nature, this technology offers a promising pathway for conservation. Furthermore, RFC also provides an app allowing the public to listen to live streams from the Ecuadorian rainforest, fostering greater awareness and connection to these vital ecosystems globally. 43．What can we know about RFC? A．It removed potential threats. B．It prioritized traditional methods. C．It recycled old electronic products. D．It initiated sound monitoring. 44．How do Guardians mainly function in forest protection? A．By analyzing sounds of wildlife. B．By identifying animal species. C．By transmitting sounds to locals. D．By sending instant warnings. 45．What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Popularized. B．Evaluated. C．Resisted. D．Marketed. 46．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．RFC: A Pioneer in Forest Conservation B．Public Apps: Platforms for Rainforest Protection C．Listening to Nature: Guardians Protecting Forests D．Monitoring Sounds: An Approach to Protecting Trees 【答案】43．D 44．D 45．A 46．C 【导语】文章主要介绍非营利组织RFC采用太阳能麦克风进行生物声学监测，用于森林保护、反偷猎，并探索先进数据分析助力生态保护。 【详解】43．细节理解题。根据第二段“Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation.(雨林连接组织（RFC）是由托弗·怀特于2014年创立的非营利组织，它率先将这种生物声学监测用于保护工作)”可知，RFC发起了声音监测。 44．细节理解题。根据第三段“Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land.(它们的主要目标是捕捉即时威胁——电锯、运材卡车和枪声——并向地方当局和社区传递实时警报，以便迅速采取行动保护土地)”可知，“守护者”在森林保护中的主要作用是发送即时警告。 45．词句猜测题。根据第四段“In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment.(在苏门答腊岛的一项测试中，RFC和一家德国软件公司利用机器学习识别“声景的异常突然变化”，成功识别出人类入侵者。这种先进的方法很快将通过为每个环境建立独特的模型，在泰国、牙买加和罗马尼亚rolled out)”可知，这种先进方法在苏门答腊岛测试成功后，将在其他国家推广使用，由此推测rolled out意为“推广、普及”，与popularized同义。 46．主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段引出低成本太阳能麦克风用于森林监测的话题，第二段介绍RFC及其开发的“守护者”监测设备，第三、四段详细说明“守护者”的功能及先进数据分析的应用，最后一段总结这种生物声学监测对森林保护的意义。文章核心围绕“守护者”通过监测声音保护森林展开，C选项“倾听自然：守护森林的‘守护者’”贴合文章主旨，适合作标题。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Why gratitude is good for you Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. 47 And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude”, showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. One reason for this, is that gratitude stops us from reflecting on negative emotions. But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. 48 As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. 49 There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is “yes”. When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. 50 And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead? A．Gratitude can also make us feel good physically. B．Therefore, it’s easy to tell that gratitude is advantageous to us. C．It is the feeling of being grateful and wanting to express our thanks. D．It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues. E．And this positive feeling gets even better with time. F．It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. 【答案】47．F 48．E 49．A 50．D 【导语】文章主要介绍感恩的内涵，分别阐述其对心理、身体及人际关系的多重益处，倡导常怀感恩。 47．上文“Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift.(感恩不仅仅是对帮助我们或送我们礼物的人说一句谢谢)”解释感恩不只是简单道谢。空后“And this positive emotion can be good for our health(这种积极情绪有益于我们的健康)”承接积极情绪带来的好处。空处需要进一步解释感恩的深层含义。选项F“It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion.(它是对人或事物更深层次的感激，能让我们产生积极情绪)”承接上文定义，引出后文积极情绪，衔接自然。 48．上文“But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life.(但即便我们不将自己的作品分享给任何人，比如比如只是写在日记里，仅仅是独自完成这项练习，也会让我们感到更快乐，对生活也更有满足感)”说明感恩能带来好心情。空后“As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive.(随着我们训练大脑主动关注美好，一段时间后这种习惯会变得自然而然)”体现长期坚持的变化。空处表示这种美好感受会随时间越来越好。选项E“And this positive feeling gets even better with time.(这种积极的感受会随着时间推移变得越发强烈)”承上启下，符合语境。 49．上文整段讲述感恩对心理健康的好处。空后“There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems.(有研究表明，养成感恩的习惯能够改善睡眠质量、优化饮食习惯，并且对于有过心脏病史的人群，还能降低感染风险)”开始介绍身体健康方面的益处。空处为段落总起句，引出身体层面的好处。选项A“Gratitude can also make us feel good physically.(感恩也能让我们的身体保持良好状态)”过渡自然，统领本段内容。 50．上文“When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too.(无论是口头还是书面表达感恩，既能让自己被重视，也能让他人感受到被珍视)”说明分享感恩的作用。空后“And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.(这也是感恩众多益处之外的又一大好处)”进一步提示空格处应该是感恩带来的好处。所以空处需要说明重视彼此带来的人际优势。选项D“It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues.(因此它有助于拉近与家人、朋友乃至同事的关系)”承接前文，讲述感恩对人际关系的作用，符合语境。 IV.Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why do some animals die out? In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread over the land, they destroy animal’s homes. If the animals can’t find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes. Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves. Pollution is killing many animals today, too. As rivers become polluted, fishes are poisoned. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can’t lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out. Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there any more. If the animals can’t learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】In the past 200 years people have caused many animals to became extinct.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A 14-year-old Girl Built an App to Help Alzheimer’s Patients (老年痴呆症患者) For many teenagers, their lives typically might circle around schoolwork and spending time with friends. Not so for Emma Yang. Though the Hong Kong-born girl is only 14, she 1 (create) her own mobile app for Alzheimer’s patients already. The Timeless app, which Yang spent two years 2 (develop), comes with several important features. It is an artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition system in the app 3 helps Alzheimer’s patients identify people in photos and remember who they are. It also allows photos 4 (group) by individuals as well as provides a picture-based phone book, which enables a user to tap on photos to call or text a person. The inspiration to develop an app that would help Alzheimer’s patients connect with their loved ones came to Yang at the age of 12, when her grandmother started forgetting things like 5 she lived and Yang’s birthday. “I wanted to create something to help people like my grandmother stay 6 (close) to her family than before,” Yang said. It was a task she was well-prepared to undertake, 7 venture capitalists didn’t take her work seriously. Yang started a crowdfunding campaign in March last year 8 (support) her Timeless app project. That effort raised more than US$10,000. At present, Yang works with an international team that includes a designer in California and a developer in Cologne, Germany. The chief technology officer of Kairos, the AI company whose technology is used in the Timeless app, is now Yang’s adviser. Yang urged other young, ambitious people to believe in 9 because the teenagers of today will be tomorrow’s leaders. “Technology 10 help kids turn their ideas into action,” she said. “As long as you get out there and put yourself out there, tell people about your idea and find out who’s on board and can get behind it, you’ll eventually find that team of people.” Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．permanently  B．spread  C．pursuing  D．sacrifice  E．objectively  F．significant G．sources  H．available  I．measures  J．presenting  K．achieve In the digital age, where information floods every corner of our lives, the role of journalists has become more crucial than ever. As the gatekeepers of information, they are responsible for sorting through the vast sea of data and 11 the public with accurate and reliable news. In the past, journalists relied mainly on traditional 12 such as interviews, official documents, and on-site investigations. These methods provided a relatively stable and trustworthy foundation for news reporting. However, the digital revolution has changed the game. Today, a vast amount of information online is 13 to them. Social media platforms, for instance, have become 14 channels for news collecting. But the information on these platforms is often unchecked, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Journalists need to be more cautious and take extra 15 to ensure the information they obtain is true. One of the challenges journalists face is the issue of instant news. In the digital age, the pressure to break news first is intense. This has led to a situation where false information can 16 quickly. Some people may take advantage of the flaws in information checking systems to 17 certain goals, which can mislead the public. Journalists must follow high ethical standards and report the news 18 . They should present different perspectives on an issue to give the audience a comprehensive understanding. Another aspect is the need to make news more accessible to the public. With the increasing competition in the media industry, journalists need to use multimedia elements to present news in a more interesting and engaging way. However, journalists should not 19 the quality of the news. They still need to focus on providing in-depth and accurate reports instead of 20 superficial attention-grabbing strategies. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It is part of being human,” says a researcher who studies procrastination. “We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination 21 : We want to feel good right now. The only way to do this is to avoid the task.” You can procrastinate on almost anything, even 22 tasks like planning a holiday. About 20 percent of us are long-term procrastinators. One reason is fear of failures. Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years. That 23 to take action only made her believe she would never do better. “It is all fear of being judged,” Saginak says. “If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be 24 with others’ opinions. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure. But researchers 25 . They did an experiment, putting procrastinators under 26 of time. In fact, the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators, but they 27 they did better. Whatever the 28 is (or lack of it), procrastination is usually bad for you. Delaying a diet may increase your risk of heart disease. Just thinking about things you haven’t done may cause 29 . “Procrastinators feel more stressed, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own 30 and critical feelings about their procrastination,” says Fuschia, a psychology lecturer. For those who need motivation, the best advice may be to 31 . “We used to think behaviors follow our attitude,” Pychyl says. “But if you can make small 32 , even a little, it will push you forward.” Next, try sending yourself signals to action. You can use a timer to make your lights dim (变暗) slowly. This will help you keep a(n) 33 bedtime. Researchers tested this idea and it worked on most of the subjects. “They formed a(n) 34 ,” researchers say. “When the lights start to dim, people know it is time to go to bed.” Finally, 35 yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you pay the bills, watch your favorite TV show. 21．A．comes down to B．runs out of C．puts up with D．breaks through 22．A．repetitive B．household C．educational D．enjoyable 23．A．opportunity B．inflexibility C．inability D．desire 24．A．concerned B．faced C．satisfied D．impressed 25．A．observe B．disagree C．cooperate D．confirm 26．A．concept B．progression C．restriction D．length 27．A．realized B．doubted C．assumed D．ignored 28．A．consequence B．motivation C．occasion D．origin 29．A．variation B．reaction C．sympathy D．discomfort 30．A．negative B．intense C．emotional D．indescribable 31．A．think small B．break the limits C．aim high D．stay calm 32．A．progress B．changes C．mistakes D．efforts 33．A．relaxing B．consistent C．early D．irregular 34．A．intention B．opinion C．comparison D．identity 35．A．challenge B．prepare C．improve D．reward Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands trembled slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 36．Why did the author want to get home quickly? A．She was tired after a day of work. B．She was eager to meet her grandson. C．She didn’t like shopping at that store. D．She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class. 37．What made the old man choose to put the cookies back? A．His own preference. B．Lack of money. C．High price of the cookies. D．The cashier’s suggestion. 38．How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies? A．Embarrassed and angry. B．Doubtful and cautious. C．Surprised and grateful. D．Indifferent and calm. 39．What message does the text mainly want to convey? A．Patience is a virtue in public. B．Kindness can create connections. C．Elderly people need more pensions. D．Family bonds are the most valuable. (B) With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! We’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Grosvenor Park, Chester Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio: The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. Seeing anything at all, backgrounded by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare. Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire Throughout most of the year, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s indoor concert hall and studio serve as their regular performance spaces. But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain. This year they’ll be staging Dido and Aeneas. Shakespeare in the Squares, London Is there anything more luxuriously summery than lazing down to your local square for a bit of Shakespeare and a picnic? These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year. This year will be All’s Well That Ends Well. 40．Which play fascinates the author most? A．The Gangs of New York. B．The Importance of Being Earnest. C．The Wizard of Oz. D．Little Shop of Horrors. 41．Where can you enjoy a play in the Pitlochry Festival Theatre this summer? A．On the cliff. B．In the woods. C．At a concert hall. D．On city squares. 42．What is a proper choice for a Shakespeare fan? A．Grosvenor Park and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. B．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Minack Theatre. C．Minack Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. D．Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares. (C) The world’s diverse forests are facing increasing threats, making effective monitoring crucial for conservation. While traditional methods like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, low-cost, solar-powered microphones have proven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in some of the planet’s most densely inhabited and biodiverse environments. Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation. RFC initially repurposed old phones into monitoring devices, but later developed a standardized unit called the Guardian. These Guardians have since been deployed in over 600 locations worldwide, acting as constant “ears” in the wilderness. Guardians are designed to capture a broad soundscape of the rainforest. “Placed high in treetops, these solar-powered devices can operate for years, continuously recording sounds and transmitting them to the cloud, where we are then able to analyze them for all sorts of things,” says White. Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land. Beyond detecting obvious threats, RFC is exploring advanced data analysis. White explains that the soundscape itself can act as a detector. In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. For example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly go silent, potentially indicating the presence of poachers. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment. This innovative bioacoustic monitoring provides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remote forests, offering a powerful tool for wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts. By understanding and reacting to the subtle sounds of nature, this technology offers a promising pathway for conservation. Furthermore, RFC also provides an app allowing the public to listen to live streams from the Ecuadorian rainforest, fostering greater awareness and connection to these vital ecosystems globally. 43．What can we know about RFC? A．It removed potential threats. B．It prioritized traditional methods. C．It recycled old electronic products. D．It initiated sound monitoring. 44．How do Guardians mainly function in forest protection? A．By analyzing sounds of wildlife. B．By identifying animal species. C．By transmitting sounds to locals. D．By sending instant warnings. 45．What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Popularized. B．Evaluated. C．Resisted. D．Marketed. 46．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．RFC: A Pioneer in Forest Conservation B．Public Apps: Platforms for Rainforest Protection C．Listening to Nature: Guardians Protecting Forests D．Monitoring Sounds: An Approach to Protecting Trees Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Why gratitude is good for you Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. 47 And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude”, showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. One reason for this, is that gratitude stops us from reflecting on negative emotions. But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. 48 As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. 49 There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is “yes”. When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. 50 And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead? A．Gratitude can also make us feel good physically. B．Therefore, it’s easy to tell that gratitude is advantageous to us. C．It is the feeling of being grateful and wanting to express our thanks. D．It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues. E．And this positive feeling gets even better with time. F．It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. IV.Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why do some animals die out? In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread over the land, they destroy animal’s homes. If the animals can’t find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes. Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves. Pollution is killing many animals today, too. As rivers become polluted, fishes are poisoned. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can’t lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out. Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there any more. If the animals can’t learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．我们不禁好奇，此次培训面向的对象是谁。(target v.) ______________________________________________________________________ 53．他花了很长时间才说服团队接受这个看似冒险的计划。（It）   ___________________________________________________________________________ 54．当下人工智能蓬勃发展，因此理性运用技术、防范潜在风险至关重要。(boom) _______________________________________________________________________________ 55．上周三他在书店发现了一本插图精美的、有关如何减轻体重的书籍，他哀求妈妈买了下来。（illustrate）（汉译英）_______________________________________________________________________________ VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 56．Directions: Write an English composition in about 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高一学生徐晶，你的外国好友Tom发来邮件，他即将来到中国游玩，向你咨询值得品尝的中华美食以及中国用餐礼仪，请你回复一封邮件，内容包含： 1. 推荐1-2道特色中国美食并简要介绍； 2. 介绍需要注意的用餐礼仪； 3. 表达期待与他一同品尝美食。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025-2026学年下学期英语期末模拟卷 II.Grammar and Vocabulary Section A 姓名： 21. 22 准考证号 23. 24. 缺考标记 注意事项 考生禁止填涂缺考标 1.答题前，考生先将自已的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚 老师 25 记！只能由监考 26. 责用黑色字迹的签 笔填涂填涂 2. 请将准考证条码粘贴在右侧的条码粘贴处]的方框内。 正确 ■1 [-U√][×] 3.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂：非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色 字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整。 27 28. 29 30. 1.A][B][C]ID] 2.IA][B][c][D] 3.[A][B][C][D] ■ 4.A][B][c][D] 5.[A][B][C][D] 6.[AJ[B[C][D] 7.[A][B][c][D] 8.[A][B][c][D] 9.[A][B][c][D] IV.Summary Writing 1o.[A]IB][C][D] 11.[A][B][C][D] 12.[A][B][C][D] 13.AJ[B][c][D] 14.[A][B][c][D] 15.[AJ[B][c][D] 16.[A][B][C][D] 17.IA][B][c][D] 18.[A][B][c][D] 19.[A][B][c][D] 20.[A][B1[c][D] 31.LAJLBJLCJLDJLEJLFJLGJLHJLIJLJJLKJ 32.[A][B][C][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] 33.LA][B][c][D][E][F][G]IH][I][J][K] 34.A][B][C][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] 35.A][B][c][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] 36.LA][B][c][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] V.Translation 37.LA][B][c][D][E][F][G][H][IJ[J][K] 38.A][B][c][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] 39.[A][B][c][D][E][F][G][H][I][J][K] 4o.A][B][c][D][E][F][G]IH][I][J][K] 41.A][B][C][D] 42.A1[B][C][D] 43.[A[BJ[c][D] 44.A][B][C][D] 45.A][B][C][D] 46.[A][B][C][D] 47[A][B][C][D] 48.[A][B][C][D] 49.[AJ[BJ[c][D] 5o.A[B][c][D] 51.AJ[B][c][D] 52.A][B][c][D] 53.A][B[c][D] 54.AJ[B][c[D] 55.[A][B][c[D] 56.[A][B]IC][D] 57.IA][B][c][D] 58.A][B][c][D] 59.[A][B1[c][D] 6o.IA][B][c][D] 61A][B][C][D] 62.A][B][c][D] 63.[A][B][C][D] 64.A][B][C][D] 65.TA1rBITCITD1 66.TA1rBI[CIID1 67.[A][B][c][D][E][F] 68.[A]IB][c][D][E][F] 69.[AJ[B][C][D][E][F] 7o.[A][B][c][D][E]F] VI.Guided Writing ■ ■
