M: Well, it was 1962 and I was a struggling, not very successful artist in new York. My wife suggested that I try my hand at painting for children’s books, so I did ten paintings and took them to publishers. I was turned down everywhere except at one publisher, where a young woman told me I wasn't very good. So if I wanted to paint for a book, I’d need to write one on my own. W: So you did. M: Um, the woman pointed to a painting I’d done of a little girl with a big red dog, and she said, maybe that’s a story. And I went home. And over that weekend I wrote the story Clifford The Big Red Dog and was shocked when it was accepted for publication because I'd never written anything before. W: I see how wonderful. M: Yes, it was. My wife was also in shock when she did realize it wasn’t a dream, but it was just luck. W: But that luck turned into ninety cliff books that have sold 126 million copies in thirteen languages. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Today I’m going to talk about small talk, that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such exchanges occur at bus stops, on buses, while waiting in line almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. “But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. ” Besides, it’s better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors, “Do you like our city?” They may say simply “Yes!” On the other hand, if you ask“What do you think of our city?”, they will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you’re interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they’ll feel more comfortable talking with you. 二、阅读理解：第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A A To some, sunglasses are a fashion choice... But When You’re Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life! Studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that most (74%) of the crashes occurred on clear, sunny days. Deadly accidents are regularly caused by blinding glare (强光). Not all sunglasses are created equal. With all the fancy fashion eyewear designs out there it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). But now, research by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has brought forth ground-breaking technology. This superior lens technology was first discovered when NASA scientists looked to nature for a means to superior eye protection by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme visual acuity (敏锐度). This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®. The Only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The TriLenium® Lens Technology blocks 99.99% UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Buy one, get one FREE!

But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month. And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question. 24. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______. A. most families chose to go car-free B. he was hurt in a terrible car accident C. the cost of a new car was too much D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him 25. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan? A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. 26. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion? A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Think it over. D. Leave it alone. 27. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life? A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard. C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【分析】作者的旧车不幸被撞毁了，准备买新车时，发现私家车成本高昂，而作者住址附近的公共交通非常发达，因此作者觉得没有必要买车，但家里人反对，作者说服了家里人，经过八个月后，作者感觉没买车让他变富裕不少。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.可知，因为买新车所花的费用太多了，所以作者决定不买汽车了。故C项正确。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.可知，作者不买车的想法并没有得到家人的支持。在本段接下来的内容中详细介绍了家人反对我的观点的理由。故B正确。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)可知，我并没有受到他们的影响，我建议女儿的朋友应该和我们一样不买汽车。也就是说我建议女儿不要理睬别人的观点。故D正确。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后两句We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.可知，对于是否应该有汽车的问题，我的答案是不。因为我从没车的八个月里得出的结论就是：没了车，我变有钱了。故C项正确。 点睛：推理判断题的解题技巧 一．推理判断题常见的提问方式 The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to… The author’s attitude towards…is… It can be inferred from the text is that… From the passage we can conclude that… 二.正确选项的特点 正确选项不是文中直接或明确说明的内容，而是间接表达出来的，除符合文章内容外，还符合逻辑，让考生有推敲余地。如小题2. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?问家人的态度，根据But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.题中not shared就是答案B. Disapproving.（不同意）的间接表达。 三.干扰选项的特点 无中生有：以假乱真，捏造原文根本不存在的信息，并以此为依据进行推断。比如;小题3 A. Argue against it.小题４，Ｄ选项A car-free life does not suit everyone。 四.解题技巧 1结合全文（段）信息，综合判断，确定最佳结论。如小题3.本段说家人不同意我的观点，怕朋友议论，我说服他们take the same approach(as mine),就是听我的，不听别人的，与D选项Leave it alone.（置之不理）相吻合。 C I used to constantly overshare so much that “addicted oversharer” became one of my blog tags. Ask me how I was doing, and I’d tell you everything in detail. Then I got therapy. Over time, I learned to share much less, but I still open up quite a lot. At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry. It turns out that most of us have been operating under a flawed assumption about openness. “We’ve been warned not to overshare, but the bigger risk is often undersharing,” says Leslie John, PhD, a professor at Harvard Business School. “When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust. And trust invites trust back. That’s how relationships deepen.” People assume revealing something vulnerable (脆弱的), like admitting “I get nervous before big presentations”, will ruin their reputation. Yet it almost never does. Instead, small, authentic admissions tend to increase trust without reducing how competent someone appears. What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run. In one of John’s studies, nearly 90% of people said they’d rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than one who covered up their grades. Of course, there are drawbacks. When oversharing crosses into poor timing, one-sided monologues or a complete failure to consider context, people understandably feel uncomfortable. John figures that the oversharer is quite likely to lie awake at 2 a.m. and kick himself for having said too much. But even here, she has found the bright side: Although oversharing may be embarrassing, it can also win others’ admiration for his bravery in sharing, which will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice. “Revealing is a skill,” John says. “And like any skill, it improves with practice.” The goal isn’t to treat every interaction like a confessional (忏悔). It’s to develop situational awareness that lets you open up in ways that actually deepen connection. There’s no need to bare one’s soul all at once. Rather, let openness build gradually. For those holding back, John offers one final question to ask yourself: “What’s the price I’m already paying for not saying this?” 28. What does the underlined phrase “airing all our dirty laundry” most probably mean? A. Washing clothes in public. B. Making private family trouble public. C. Hiding personal secrets. D. Asking for others’ advice. 29. What is Leslie John’s attitude towards undersharing? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 30. What does the example of a job candidate show in paragraph 3? A. Interviewers value honesty more than talent. B. People tend to hide their mistakes for reputation. C. Authentic admissions can make people less competitive. D. Small and proper openness help build trust and connection. 31. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. No pain, no gain. B. Modest sharing bonds people. C. Still waters run deep. D. Loose lips sink ships. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨适度分享的重要性，分析过度分享与过少分享的影响，指出真诚适度的开放能建立信任、加深人际关系。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Over time, I learned to share much less, but I still open up quite a lot. At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry.(久而久之，我学会了少分享一些，但依然会相当坦诚地表达自己。至少现在我明白了提及我的婚姻和airing all our dirty laundry之间的区别。)”可知，前文提到作者学会了少分享，区分了“提及婚姻”和“airing all our dirty laundry”，二者形成对比，前者是正常谈论，后者应是公开不该外露的私人矛盾、负面家事，因此该短语意为“把私人家庭矛盾公之于众”。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We’ve been warned not to overshare, but the bigger risk is often undersharing.(我们一直被警告不要过度分享，但更大的风险往往是分享不足。)”可知，Leslie John对过少分享持否定态度。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Instead, small, authentic admissions tend to increase trust without reducing how competent someone appears. What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run. In one of John’s studies, nearly 90% of people said they’d rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than one who covered up their grades. (相反，坦诚地承认一些小问题，往往能增进信任，同时又不会削弱一个人看起来的能力。当下看似有风险的举动，从长远来看常常能拉近人与人之间的关系。在约翰的一项研究中，近90%的人表示，他们更愿意雇用一名承认考试不及格的求职者，而不是隐瞒成绩的人。)”可知，该例子表明微小恰当的坦诚有助于建立信任与联系。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust. And trust invites trust back. That’s how relationships deepen.(当我们展露真实的一面——比如有些不完美的地方——我们就传递出信任，而信任会换来信任，关系就是这样加深的。)”和第四段“Although oversharing may be embarrassing, it can also win others’ admiration for his bravery in sharing, which will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice.(虽然过度分享可能令人尴尬，但也会因分享的勇气赢得他人赞赏，进而带来我们常忽略的长期信任。)”可知，作者认同适度分享能拉近人与人之间的关系。故选B项。 D It’s not unusual for snow to fall in winter. During the cold weather months, some folks like to share recipes for how to make snow ice cream and other treats that use fresh powder as a base, adding milk, sugar, and toppings. Obviously, no one is recommending anyone scoop up a bowlful of snow idling on the side of the road, full of salt, muck (淤泥), and other unpleasantness. But it does beg the question: Is any snow actually safe to consume? While you may assume snow that’s freshly fallen and collected in an undisturbed area — even a cup set out for that purpose — is free of any contaminants (污染物), don’t be so sure. According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that clean. It’s formed when water droplets freeze around some dust or debris in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake. When it falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. Depending on the region, snow could also contain mercury (水银) or pesticides. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling. A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gas exhaust. This all means that, theoretically, your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting “toppings”. At the same time, there doesn’t seem to be a surge of reports of illnesses related to snow consumption. Assuming you don’t consume a huge quantity of it, it’s unlikely that whatever contaminants might be in the snow will be present in large enough amounts to cause problems. While no one is technically advocating for snow ingestion here, just a small bite will probably be fine. Eating snow in an emergency is another matter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against snow snacking for people like hikers, because it can lower one’s body temperature. In cases where there is a water supply issue, the CDC says it’s safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill off any bacteria. 32. What is the correct order of snow formation? ① Ice crystals are formed. ② Water and vapor are collected. ③ A snowflake comes into being. ④ Water droplets freeze in the air. A. ②④①③ B. ④①②③ C. ②①④③ D. ④①③② 33. What is the function of paragraph 4? A. To introduce a new concept. B. To offer a detailed explanation. C. To pave the way for what follows. D. To back up a previous statement. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Under no circumstances does the CDC advise eating snow. B. Boiling snow can eliminate all risks associated with eating it. C. Eating snow after it is boiled can lower one’s body temperature. D. Consuming a small quantity of snow is unlikely to cause severe diseases. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Hidden Dangers of Snow Ice Cream B. How to Safely Consume Snow in Emergencies C. Is Snow Safe to Eat? What You Need to Know D. From Cloud to Table: The Journey of a Snowflake 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍雪的形成过程、雪含有的污染物，以及食用雪是否安全的相关科学知识与注意事项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s formed when water droplets freeze around some dust or debris in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake.(它是由水滴在空气中的尘埃或碎屑周围冻结形成冰晶，冰晶不断聚集水蒸气进而形成雪花。)”可知，正确顺序为水滴在空气中冻结→形成冰晶→聚集水蒸气→形成雪花，即④①②③。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that clean.(根据气象学家玛丽·斯卡泽洛·费尔班克斯的说法，雪并不是那么干净。)”以及第四段中的“When it falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. Depending on the region, snow could also contain mercury (水银) or pesticides. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling. A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gas exhaust. (雪花飘落时，也会吸附空气中漂浮的物质，包括灰尘甚至细菌颗粒。根据地区不同，雪还可能含有水银或杀虫剂。如果刮风，雪在落地前甚至会混入从地面扬起的泥土。2015年发表在《环境科学：过程与影响》期刊上的一项研究甚至证明了雪会如何与汽车尾气混合。)”可知，第四段通过列举雪含有的各类污染物，详细支撑了第三段提出的“雪并不干净”这一观点。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Assuming you don’t consume a huge quantity of it, it’s unlikely that whatever contaminants might be in the snow will be present in large enough amounts to cause problems.(只要不大量食用，雪中的污染物含量不大可能达到致病水平。)”可知，少量食用雪不太可能引发严重疾病。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“But it does beg the question: Is any snow actually safe to consume?(但这确实引出一个问题：到底有没有雪是可以安全食用的？)”可知，文章全文围绕食用雪是否安全展开介绍与分析，因此“雪能安全吃吗？你需要知道的事”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Many spend most of their day dealing with even simple tasks; the amount of energy it takes is almost unbearable. Whether you’re a full-time student or an employee, you probably know the feeling of needing to fulfill obligations (履行责任) immediately. ____36____ Luckily, there are some easy ways to increase your concentration in your daily life. ____37____ Because too much responsibility can stop you from completing the most important tasks at hand. Put the things that will help you achieve your goals first in order to lighten up your “to-do” list. When you do so, you’ll have more focus, a clear game plan, and a sound state of mind. The 80/20 rule says that 20% of our effort produces 80% of our results. This rule may sound pretty specific. ____38____ When it comes to work, we should know which tasks really matter to save time. Trying to handle many tasks at once can be counterproductive (适得其反的) because it requires you to change your skill sets.

A 38. B 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍几种能提升专注力、缓解压力的实用方法。 【36题详解】 前文“Many spend most of their day dealing with even simple tasks; the amount of energy it takes is almost unbearable. Whether you’re a full-time student or an employee, you probably know the feeling of needing to fulfill obligations (履行责任) immediately. (许多人一天中的大部分时间都在处理简单的任务；它所消耗的能量几乎是无法承受的。无论你是全日制学生还是员工，你可能都知道需要立即履行义务的感觉。)”描述了无论是学生还是上班族，都有需要立即履行责任的紧迫感。C选项“It probably leaves you unable to stay focused. (这可能会让你无法保持专注。)”承接上文，说明这种需要立即履行责任的状况对专注度的影响，符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 后文“Because too much responsibility can stop you from completing the most important tasks at hand. Put the things that will help you achieve your goals first in order to lighten up your “to-do” list. (因为太多的责任会阻止你完成手头上最重要的任务。把能帮助你实现目标的事情放在首位，这样就能减轻你的待办事项清单。)”说明了太多的责任会带来的问题，并给出了解决方法，即把重要的事情放在首位，空处位于句首，应是本段的主题句。A选项“Avoid being in all types of business. (避免参与各种事务。)”符合后文所说要减少责任，优先处理重要事务的语境，是对后文做法的概括性建议。故选A。 【38题详解】 前文“The 80/20 rule says that 20% of our effort produces 80% of our results. This rule may sound pretty specific.(二八定律指出，20%的努力产生80%的结果。这条规则听起来很具体。)”介绍了二八定律的内容和直观感受。B选项“But it applies to every side of our lives. (但它适用于我们生活的方方面面。)”与前文形成转折，进一步强调该规则的广泛适用性，符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 前文“Trying to handle many tasks at once can be counterproductive (适得其反的) because it requires you to change your skill sets. We may love to try to complete several tasks in a given amount of time, but this uses more of our energy. Focusing on one task at a time will help you think more deeply and creatively.(试图一次处理许多任务可能会适得其反，因为这需要你改变自己的技能。我们可能喜欢在给定的时间内完成几项任务，但这会消耗更多的精力。一次专注于一项任务可以帮助你更深入、更有创造性地思考。)”提出了一次专注一项任务的建议及好处，空处应承接上文，进一步补充相关的做法或理由。F选项“Besides, not everything needs your attention immediately. (此外，并非每件事都需要你立即关注。)”是对专注单任务做法的补充说明，符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 前文“If you find yourself worried that you can’t deal with so much responsibility and answer everyone immediately, use these tips to help you in your daily life.( 如果你发现自己担心自己不能处理这么多的责任并立即回答每个人的问题，那么使用这些建议来帮助你在日常生活中。)”建议读者使用文中的技巧。G选项“You can find them helpful in reducing your stress from work or study. (你会发现它们有助于减轻工作或学习中的压力。)”说明这些技巧的作用，与前文呼应，且与后文“Thus you will have a slower-paced, more mindful life.(这样你的生活节奏会更慢，更专注。)”相衔接，故选G。 三、完形填空：(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) The bitter cold of a December afternoon was ruining my mood as I walked on the street.

Its most distinctive feature is its fresh, natural green color, coming from wild green plants or green grass juice, ____56____ gives it a light, refreshing herbal smell. Made from ____57____(primary) sticky rice flour and fresh plants, qingtuan has a soft and chewy texture. It is usually filled ____58____ sweet red bean paste, fragrant black sesame(芝麻), or the increasingly popular salted egg yolk. The preparation process requires care: fresh leaves ____59____ (boil), pounded, and squeezed into juice, which is then carefully mixed with rice flour ____60____ (form) a smooth dough. The dough (面团) is stuffed with filling, ____61____ (shape) into round balls, and steamed until it becomes shiny and tender. Beyond its delicious taste, qingtuan ____62____ (carry) rich cultural significance. It symbolizes the ____63____ (arrive) of spring, the memory of ancestors, and the inheritance of traditional customs. For the Chinese people, it is more than a ____64____ (season) delicacy; it is ____65____ cultural symbol connecting people to nature, history and the warmth of spring. 【答案】56. which 57. primarily 58. with 59. are boiled 60. to form 61. shaped 62. carries 63. arrival 64. seasonal 65. a 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍中国传统小吃青团的原料、制作工艺、口味特点以及其承载的春日寓意与文化内涵。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它最显著的特点是清新自然的绿色，这种颜色来自野生绿色植物或青草汁，赋予青团淡雅清新的草本香气。此处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文整句话内容，从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：青团主要由糯米粉和新鲜植物制成，口感软糯有嚼劲。此处修饰介词短语，需用副词，primary的副词形式为primarily意为“主要地”。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：它通常包裹着香甜的红豆沙、香浓的黑芝麻，或是如今愈发流行的咸蛋黄馅料。固定搭配be filled with，意为“充满；包裹有”，所以此处为介词with。 【59题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：制作过程十分讲究：新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁，随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为谓语动词，描述客观制作流程，用一般现在时，主语fresh leaves与boil之间为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数，所以谓语动词为are boiled。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：制作过程十分讲究：新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁，随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为非谓语动词作状语，表示混合米粉的目的是揉成面团，所以用动词不定式to form作目的状语。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：面团包入馅料，捏成圆球，蒸熟后色泽光亮、口感软糯。此处为非谓语动词作并列状语，dough与shape之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词shaped。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：除了美味的口感，青团还承载着丰富的文化内涵。此处为谓语动词，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语qingtuan是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为carries。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：它象征着春天的到来、对先人的缅怀以及传统习俗的传承。定冠词the后接名词作宾语，arrive的名词形式为arrival意为“到达”。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：对中国人而言，它不仅是时令美食，更是一种文化符号。此处修饰名词delicacy，需用形容词，season的形容词形式为seasonal意为“时令的、季节性的”。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：对中国人而言，它不仅是时令美食，更是一种联结人与自然、历史与春日温情的文化符号。cultural symbol为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，结合句意，此处表示“一种文化符号”为泛指，且cultural是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 五、基础模块： 66. 书面表达(满分15分) 66. 假如你是校学生会主席李华。校英文报拟增设一个新栏目以满足同学阅读需求。就此，你向全校同学发放了调查问卷。调查结果如下： 请你给校英文报主编Lisa老师写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．调查结果； 2．你的建议。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Lisa, I hope this email finds you well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Lisa, I hope this email finds you well.

Sea crabs(螃蟹）scampered(奔跑）on the rocks,up one side and down the other.They were quick and lively.The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away. Then Jim saw a fish. It was stranded（搁浅）on the beach,just flopping(笨拙移动） around. ＂Can it talk?"Andy asked. ＂It looks like any other fish,"Jim said.He picked it up gently and carried it to the water. ＂Do you think it will grant us any wishes?"Andy laughed. The boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water."No.Maybe next time."Jim grinned. As the two friends walked farther down the beach they came upon a bottle.It was green with a cork （软木塞）in the mouth. ＂Our luck will change.Does it have a map inside or a genie(神怪）？＂joked Andy. Andy reached down and picked up the bottle.He rubbed it.Nothing happened.He pulled on the cork. Nothing happened. He shook it. Nothing happened. “Try the cork again.I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him.Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure,"Jim exclaimed. Andy tugged(用力拉）again on the cork. He wiggled(扭动）it back and forth.He twisted（旋转；扭）it around and around. Finally, it popped out(弹出）without breaking.Andy shook the bottle.Nothing came out.Looking inside he couldn't see anything.Jim looked too and shook his head. Empty. ＂It's just an old wine bottle,"Jim complained. He grabbed the bottle and tossed(扔）it back onto the sand. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: The bottle hit a rock and shattered(破碎）into many pieces. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two boys ran after it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 The bottle hit a rock and shattered into many pieces.Both Andy and Jim gasped as they saw a long,silver key on the ground in the glass pieces.Then they looked at each other. Why didn't it make any noise when they shook the bottle?Why didn't they see it?Andy bent over to pick up the key.Suddenly the glass pieces came together to form a bottle again.The key was mysteriously back inside!And the bottle began rolling slowly toward the sea. Paragraph 2 Two boys ran after it.When they entered the sea,astonishingly they didn't sink into the water but floated on the surface of it.They felt excited.They followed the bottle and then it stopped near an island where there was lots of treasure like diamonds and stones."You can take as much as possible,"a voice came from the coast where a talking fish was swimming.It was the stranded fish that Jim saved and put back into the water. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了Jim和Andy想在海边寻宝，挽救了一条搁浅的鱼，看到了一个瓶子的故事。 【详解】续写部分分为两段，根据第一段开头：瓶子撞到一块石头上，摔得粉碎。由此可构思本段细节∶瓶子碎了，Andy和Jim看见一把银(silver)钥匙掉在地上，Andy弯腰想拾起(pick up期匙。突然瓶子(bottle)又完好如初，钥匙又回到里面了。注意与第二段开头的衔接；第二段开头：两个男孩追了出去，可构思本段细节∶两个孩子跟着瓶子跑。他们进入海里时没有下沉而是漂浮在海上。他们感到很兴奋(felt excited)。瓶子把他们带到一个岛屿附近，那儿有很多财宝——是那条搁浅(stranded)的鱼来报恩的，可以增添合理的情节，但是要注意与原文的融合。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：Both Andy and Jim gasped as they saw a long, silver key on the ground in the glass pieces.这句话运用了as引导的时间状语从句；本文也使用了一些固定词组，如bend over ; pick up; run after等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 大庆市第二十三中学艺术部2025-2026学年度(下)期中考试 高二英语试题 考试范围：选必一U4-U5 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第I卷(选择题) 一、听力 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation probably take place?

But When You’re Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life! Studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that most (74%) of the crashes occurred on clear, sunny days. Deadly accidents are regularly caused by blinding glare (强光). Not all sunglasses are created equal. With all the fancy fashion eyewear designs out there it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). But now, research by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has brought forth ground-breaking technology. This superior lens technology was first discovered when NASA scientists looked to nature for a means to superior eye protection by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme visual acuity (敏锐度). This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®. The Only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The TriLenium® Lens Technology blocks 99.99% UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Buy one, get one FREE!

A. www.citynews.gov B. www.eagleeyesstore.com C. www.howtokeepfit.net D. www.charitytogether.org B I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month. And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question. 24. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______. A. most families chose to go car-free B. he was hurt in a terrible car accident C. the cost of a new car was too much D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him 25. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan? A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. 26. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion? A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Think it over. D. Leave it alone. 27. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life? A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard. C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. C I used to constantly overshare so much that “addicted oversharer” became one of my blog tags. Ask me how I was doing, and I’d tell you everything in detail. Then I got therapy. Over time, I learned to share much less, but I still open up quite a lot. At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry. It turns out that most of us have been operating under a flawed assumption about openness. “We’ve been warned not to overshare, but the bigger risk is often undersharing,” says Leslie John, PhD, a professor at Harvard Business School. “When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust. And trust invites trust back. That’s how relationships deepen.” People assume revealing something vulnerable (脆弱的), like admitting “I get nervous before big presentations”, will ruin their reputation. Yet it almost never does. Instead, small, authentic admissions tend to increase trust without reducing how competent someone appears. What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run. In one of John’s studies, nearly 90% of people said they’d rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than one who covered up their grades. Of course, there are drawbacks. When oversharing crosses into poor timing, one-sided monologues or a complete failure to consider context, people understandably feel uncomfortable. John figures that the oversharer is quite likely to lie awake at 2 a.m. and kick himself for having said too much. But even here, she has found the bright side: Although oversharing may be embarrassing, it can also win others’ admiration for his bravery in sharing, which will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice. “Revealing is a skill,” John says. “And like any skill, it improves with practice.” The goal isn’t to treat every interaction like a confessional (忏悔). It’s to develop situational awareness that lets you open up in ways that actually deepen connection. There’s no need to bare one’s soul all at once. Rather, let openness build gradually. For those holding back, John offers one final question to ask yourself: “What’s the price I’m already paying for not saying this?” 28. What does the underlined phrase “airing all our dirty laundry” most probably mean? A. Washing clothes in public. B. Making private family trouble public. C. Hiding personal secrets. D. Asking for others’ advice. 29. What is Leslie John’s attitude towards undersharing? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 30. What does the example of a job candidate show in paragraph 3? A. Interviewers value honesty more than talent. B. People tend to hide their mistakes for reputation. C. Authentic admissions can make people less competitive. D. Small and proper openness help build trust and connection. 31. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. No pain, no gain. B. Modest sharing bonds people. C. Still waters run deep. D. Loose lips sink ships. D It’s not unusual for snow to fall in winter. During the cold weather months, some folks like to share recipes for how to make snow ice cream and other treats that use fresh powder as a base, adding milk, sugar, and toppings. Obviously, no one is recommending anyone scoop up a bowlful of snow idling on the side of the road, full of salt, muck (淤泥), and other unpleasantness. But it does beg the question: Is any snow actually safe to consume? While you may assume snow that’s freshly fallen and collected in an undisturbed area — even a cup set out for that purpose — is free of any contaminants (污染物), don’t be so sure. According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that clean. It’s formed when water droplets freeze around some dust or debris in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake. When it falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. Depending on the region, snow could also contain mercury (水银) or pesticides. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling. A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gas exhaust. This all means that, theoretically, your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting “toppings”. At the same time, there doesn’t seem to be a surge of reports of illnesses related to snow consumption. Assuming you don’t consume a huge quantity of it, it’s unlikely that whatever contaminants might be in the snow will be present in large enough amounts to cause problems. While no one is technically advocating for snow ingestion here, just a small bite will probably be fine. Eating snow in an emergency is another matter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against snow snacking for people like hikers, because it can lower one’s body temperature. In cases where there is a water supply issue, the CDC says it’s safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill off any bacteria. 32. What is the correct order of snow formation? ① Ice crystals are formed. ② Water and vapor are collected. ③ A snowflake comes into being. ④ Water droplets freeze in the air. A. ②④①③ B. ④①②③ C. ②①④③ D. ④①③② 33. What is the function of paragraph 4? A. To introduce a new concept. B. To offer a detailed explanation. C. To pave the way for what follows. D. To back up a previous statement. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Under no circumstances does the CDC advise eating snow. B. Boiling snow can eliminate all risks associated with eating it. C. Eating snow after it is boiled can lower one’s body temperature. D. Consuming a small quantity of snow is unlikely to cause severe diseases. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Hidden Dangers of Snow Ice Cream B. How to Safely Consume Snow in Emergencies C. Is Snow Safe to Eat? What You Need to Know D. From Cloud to Table: The Journey of a Snowflake 第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Many spend most of their day dealing with even simple tasks; the amount of energy it takes is almost unbearable. Whether you’re a full-time student or an employee, you probably know the feeling of needing to fulfill obligations (履行责任) immediately. ____36____ Luckily, there are some easy ways to increase your concentration in your daily life. ____37____ Because too much responsibility can stop you from completing the most important tasks at hand. Put the things that will help you achieve your goals first in order to lighten up your “to-do” list. When you do so, you’ll have more focus, a clear game plan, and a sound state of mind. The 80/20 rule says that 20% of our effort produces 80% of our results. This rule may sound pretty specific. ____38____ When it comes to work, we should know which tasks really matter to save time. Trying to handle many tasks at once can be counterproductive (适得其反的) because it requires you to change your skill sets. We may love to try to complete several tasks in a given amount of time, but this uses more of our energy. Focusing on one task at a time will help you think more deeply and creatively. ____39____ If you find yourself worried that you can’t deal with so much responsibility and answer everyone immediately, use these tips to help you in your daily life. ____40____ Thus you will have a slower-paced, more mindful life. A. Avoid being in all types of business. B. But it applies to every side of our lives. C. It probably leaves you unable to stay focused. D. Some tasks require a bit more effort on your part. E. We seldom realize that we’re wasting too much time. F. Besides, not everything needs your attention immediately. G. You can find them helpful in reducing your stress from work or study. 三、完形填空：(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) The bitter cold of a December afternoon was ruining my mood as I walked on the street.
