As a doctor, she works long hours, yet never lets exhaustion steal her smile. One midnight, she was called to the hospital for an emergency surgery. I watched her change from a tired mother into a focused healer. She returned at dawn, eyes weary but calm. "Someone needed me," she said simply. In that moment, I understood what duty truly means. From her, I learned that strength is quiet responsibility, not loud praise. She does not seek attention, yet her actions echo louder than any words. She taught me that falling is never failure — refusing to rise again is.That is why I admire her: not for being perfect, but for choosing kindness and courage every single day. 版本二 My Mother（ The person I admire most is my mother. She is a doctor and works very hard every day. One night, I had a high fever. My mother took me to the hospital quickly. She stayed with me all night and did not sleep. The next morning, she went to work as usual. I felt so touched.My mother also helps me with my studies. When I feel sad, she always makes me happy. She is not famous or rich, but she is the best mother in my heart. From her, I learn to be kind and hardworking. She tells me that it is okay to fail, but I should never give up. I want to be a person like her when I grow up. That is why I admire my mother most. 大作文（248） “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side. It was then that Marc realized hard work was never useless, and a little motivation could light up the path to progress. On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement.” Never should we underestimate the power of determination and help from others, for they can turn our hesitation into courage and our weakness into strength. 压缩版(204） “You don’t look happy, Marc.

A quantified living trend is emerging among young people. They check their smart watches in the morning to review sleep data, use timer apps during the day to plan, study and work, and in the evening check their ranking on social media step counts. Young people are beginning to manage themselves in a data driven, visualized manner. Through data analysis, individuals aim to achieve greater self awareness and refine their lives. Nowadays, many mainstream fitness trackers are priced under 1000 yuan, and numerous smartphones come with built in health monitoring features. The drop in device costs has made these quantification tools easily accessible on social media platforms. Quantified living groups have attracted tens of thousands of members. Users post their personal data charts and share tools and tracking methods covering everything from personal finance and media consumption to knowledge acquisition. A digital space for sharing treasured memories has also been created. At the end of the year or after exam results are announced, people often share summary charts of their focus time over a period to look back on the past and recall their efforts and achievements. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高2025级第二学期半期考试 英 语 第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new“Walk for Green”programme. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station,“Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by“Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title“Green Walker” Participation To participate, students and staff members are supposed to select a pre-set route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points. Name,student/ staff ID, department/ unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: 1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. 2. Up to six points will be awarded each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to protect our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 21. Where does“Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. MTR Station. C. LWS Building. D. LSK Building. 22. What are participants required to do? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Keep a fixed speed. C. Choose a marked route. D. Complete a round trip. 23. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. B My husband is experimenting with letting pigs be free range. It’s a difficult experiment because he doesn’t have a lot of other farms as a model. Most farmers think the pigs need to be confined (圈养) so they are manageable to the farmer. There are so many pigs and only one farmer, so most of farming is about how to get the pigs grown, and to market, without letting them run wild on the farm. Now we have pigs moving all over the farm and it’s fun to watch the little baby pigs. They run around like dogs, playing with each other and with things they find. They even try to slip into the alpaca (羊驼) barn. Pigs are curious about everything. They have the IQ of a three-year-old child, and they are just so fun to see exploring and learning on their own. When they want milk, they go back to their moms, who generally stay by the nest. I am blown away by how similar this is to my experience with homeschooling. The pleasure I get from leaving my boys to explore on their own is that I get to see who they really are. Here’s my son, after he somehow climbed high, getting ready to fly into a pile of hay (干草). I see what they choose to play with, what they are curious about, and what they ignore. I see them come back to me when they need something and then run back over to whatever interests them. My favourite part of my life right now is seeing pigs and boys in ways I’ve never seen them before. We are all lively and engaged if we get to do what is right for us. 24. What would most farmers think of how the author’s husband raises pigs? A. Unusual. B. Advanced. C. Efficient. D. Balanced. 25. What can be inferred about the pigs on the author’s farm now? A. They prefer to play with other animals. B. They try to run away from their moms. C. They enjoy exploring the farm on their own. D. They behave differently from other animals. 26. What delights the author when she watches her sons exploring the farm? A. Their creativity and bravery. B. Their similarity to baby pigs. C. Their curiosity and individuality. D. Their eagerness to run back. 27. What does the author’s observation demonstrate? A. A child without education is like a bird without wings. B. We should give children roots to grow and wings to fly. C. Education is the strongest tool to make the world better. D. Learning is to the mind what exercise is to the body. C If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life---or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud). 28. According to the passage, what is a common concern among some adults about the “face-down generation”? A. They lack creativity and intelligence. B. They are too focused on their phones rather than the real world. C. They have no interest in extra — curricular activities. D. They are unwilling to use modern technology. 29. The underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 most probably means parents who _________. A. work as a helicopter pilot B. often travel around by helicopter C. are overly involved in their child’s life D. encourage their child to be independent 30. What can we infer about the writer’s attitude towards the younger generation? A. Worried and critical. B. Hopeful and positive. C. Indifferent and neutral. D. Doubtful but curious. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of Helicopter Parents B. Challenges Facing Today’s Youth C. The Face-Down Generation: A Reason to Be Hopeful D. How to Deal with Teenagers’ Phone Addiction D Eyes trained on the patient’s leg, the doctor continues with the operation. If the injured limbs (肢) are not removed, infection and death will quickly follow. Its only tool is a pair of strong jaws (下巴) — for both the doctor and the patient are ants. Biologist Erik Frank has spent much time looking at ants caring for each other’s wounds. Among them, some ants show a highly effective amputation (截肢) system. They use a preventive（预防性的） approach, cutting off the injured limb whether it is infected or not. Because if they waited until an infection became obvious, the bacteria would have already reached the rest of the body, and the operation would no longer save the ant. But ants do more than that. Dr. Frank observed that ants also carry injured nestmates back home to care for them. Meanwhile, seriously infected ants will be removed from the nest. In this way, ants protect the whole group to keep the nest safe from widespread infection. These are examples of “social immunocompetence”, which refers to a group’s ability to use social behaviors to control infection. Ants aren’t the only animals that take care of their injured companions; larger animals like monkeys, crows, and lions do it too. However, the driving force behind this caring behavior is completely different. While birds and mammals (哺乳动物) likely use reasoning to help each other, ants simply rely on strong jaws rather than complex thought or empathy for their effective medical system to work. Frank’s research could also bring possible value to humans. He has found 70 wound-healing chemicals, which may be useful against harmful bacteria with resistance to antibiotics (抗生素). In this way, these ants could inspire future breakthroughs in modern medicine. 32. Why are the ants’ amputations preventive? A. To reduce the pain of the injured. B. To ensure the operation is effective. C. To cut off the injured or infected limb. D. To wait until an infection became obvious. 33. Which of the following is an example of “social immunocompetence”? A. Birds flying in groups to save more energy. B. Cats licking their own wounds to heal faster. C. Bees removing sick members to stop disease. D. Dogs eating green grass to clean their stomachs. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Complex social thoughts of tiny ants. B. Similar medical systems of wild animals. C. Excellent healing skills of larger animals. D. Different reasons behind caring behaviors. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Ant Amputation to Wound Care. B. From Ant Doctors to Human Medicine. C. From Insects Doctors to Realized Value. D. From Caring for Nestmates to Group Survival. 第二节(共5 小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling is not just about exploring new places, but it is also an opportunity to learn about local customs,like what to speak, how to eat and etc. 36 This also shows respect for the locals. Here are four hints to help you be a more considerate traveller on your next trip. Learn about the destination you're visiting. It will help you avoid uncomfortable or even illegal situations. Start your research with a visit to your government travel advice website. Then check out guidebooks, blogs and news sites for more information. 37 Learn some basic phrases. Language barriers can be one of the biggest challenges you'll face when travelling. It's best to learn a few basic phrases to make your trip a bit smoother. 38 Even if you only learn a few key phrases, they will appreciate your interest in their culture. 39 We all love snapping some beautiful shots on our culture travel experiences, but we must always ask permission before taking a photo of someone. In some countries, it's considered offensive to have your photo taken. Accept differences. 40 As you go about your travels, you may feel uncomfortable at first, but if you embrace diversity with an open mind, you'll see how wonderful the world can be.So let go of any stereotypes or biases(偏见)you may have about the place you're visiting,and avoid criticisms or comparisons of other countries. Choose your vocabulary carefully. Ask permission before taking photos. It's highly offensive to touch someone's head. Every country is different and that's a good thing. Don’t forget to keep learning once you've arrived there! This allows you to explore the world in a meaningful way. Doing so shows people that you are interested in their culture. 第三部分语言知识运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I have always been attracted by archaeology（考古） since I was little.

I was thrilled to finally get my hands 47 . The moment I started, however, I realized how 48 I had been. The unbearable 49 made it hard to breathe as the sun beat down fiercely.

On day six, I was shoveling in my square and scraping (刮掘) my way to the next level,when I heard a loud“CLICK.” My heart 51 — I had hit something important eventually. I dug around it with my small shovel carefully. 52 filled me as I dug out a piece of orange ceramic (陶片), dating back to around 500-1000 CE. By the end of the program, I understood just how much I had 53 : riding planes on my own, socializing with like-minded peers, 54 extreme weather, and valuing history firsthand. All this was possible because I took that leap of 55 in pursuing my passion. 41. A. damage B. uncover C. highlight D. monitor 42. A. puzzle B. concern C. fascinate D. amuse 43.

The rail line is also by far the highest in the world: at Tanggula Pass it is 5,072 meters 59 sea level, and more than 960 kilometers of the line is above 4,000 meters. The railway was first planned in the 1950s, but the technical difficulties were too much to overcome. It was not until 1984 60 the first 814-kilometer section of the railway, from Xining to Golmud, 61 (complete), and the rest of the railway had to wait for the development of new technology. The biggest issue was the permafrost. In the summer, in many places the top layer of the permafrost melts and turns to mud, making the ground unstable. A 62 (vary) of solutions were used to get around this. In some cases, railway bridges were built. The longest bridge — 63 world record in fact — is over 11.7 kilometers in length. Railway bridges not only keep the train line off the permafrost, but they also allow animals 64 (pass) under the tracks. In other cases, pipes were placed under the ground to keep it frozen during the summer. Finally, in some areas, 65 was impossible to build the railway over the permafrost, so engineers tunneled through it. 第二节 用课本单词适当形式填空:首字母已给出（共5分、每题1分） 66.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. Huck looked at him in surprise. “Are you crazy? The exam is coming soon. I’m going to study for the math test. If I get a good grade, my mum will buy me a new mountain bike.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly.

The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also greener and healthier compared with buses. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” programme. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of point s completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker” Participation To participate, students and staff members are supposed to select a pre-set route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points. Name, student/ staff ID, department/ unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: 1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. 2. Up to six points will be awarded each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to protect our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 21. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. MTR Station. C. LWS Building. D. LSK Building. 22. What are participants required to do? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Keep a fixed speed. C. Choose a marked route. D. Complete a round trip. 23. How many point s do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. B My husband is experimenting with letting pigs be free range. It’s a difficult experiment because he doesn’t have a lot of other farms as a model. Most farmers think the pigs need to be confined (圈养) so they are manageable to the farmer. There are so many pigs and only one farmer, so most of farming is about how to get the pigs grown, and to market, without letting them run wild on the farm. Now we have pigs moving all over the farm and it’s fun to watch the little baby pigs. They run around like dogs, playing with each other and with things they find. They even try to slip into the alpaca (羊驼) barn. Pigs are curious about everything. They have the IQ of a three-year-old child, and they are just so fun to see exploring and learning on their own. When they want milk, they go back to their moms, who generally stay by the nest. I am blown away by how similar this is to my experience with homeschooling. The pleasure I get from leaving my boys to explore on their own is that I get to see who they really are. Here’s my son, after he somehow climbed high, getting ready to fly into a pile of hay (干草). I see what they choose to play with, what they are curious about, and what they ignore. I see them come back to me when they need something and then run back over to whatever interests them. My favourite part of my life right now is seeing pigs and boys in ways I’ve never seen them before. We are all lively and engaged if we get to do what is right for us. 24. What would most farmers think of how the author’s husband raises pigs? A. Unusual. B. Advanced. C. Efficient. D. Balanced. 25. What can be inferred about the pigs on the author’s farm now? A. They prefer to play with other animals. B. They try to run away from their moms. C. They enjoy exploring the farm on their own. D. They behave differently from other animals. 26. What delights the author when she watches her sons exploring the farm? A. Their creativity and bravery. B. Their similarity to baby pigs. C. Their curiosity and individuality. D. Their eagerness to run back. 27. What does the author’s observation demonstrate? A. A child without education is like a bird without wings. B. We should give children roots to grow and wings to fly. C. Education is the strongest tool to make the world better. D. Learning is to the mind what exercise is to the body. C If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud). 28. According to the passage, what is a common concern among some adults about the “face-down generation”? A. They lack creativity and intelligence. B. They are too focused on their phones rather than the real world. C. They have no interest in extra — curricular activities. D. They are unwilling to use modern technology. 29. The underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 most probably means parents who _________. A. work as a helicopter pilot. B. often travel around by helicopter C. are overly involved in their child’s life. D. encourage their child to be independent. 30. What can we infer about the writer’s attitude towards the younger generation? A. Worried and critical. B. Hopeful and positive. C. Indifferent and neutral. D. Doubtful but curious. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of Helicopter Parents B. Challenges Facing Today’s Youth C. The Face-Down Generation: A Reason to Be Hopeful D. How to Deal with Teenagers’ Phone Addiction D Eyes trained on the patient’s leg, the doctor continues with the operation. If the injured limbs (肢) are not removed, infection and death will quickly follow. Its only tool is a pair of strong jaws (下巴) — for both the doctor and the patient are ants. Biologist Erik Frank has spent much time looking at ants caring for each other’s wounds. Among them, some ants show a highly effective amputation (截肢) system. They use a preventive (预防性的) approach, cutting off the injured limb whether it is infected or not. Because if they waited until an infection became obvious, the bacteria would have already reached the rest of the body, and the operation would no longer save the ant. But ants do more than that. Dr. Frank observed that ants also carry injured nestmates back home to care for them. Meanwhile, seriously infected ants will be removed from the nest. In this way, ants protect the whole group to keep the nest safe from widespread infection. These are examples of “social immunocompetence”, which refers to a group’s ability to use social behaviors to control infection. Ants aren’t the only animals that take care of their injured companions; larger animals like monkeys, crows, and lions do it too. However, the driving force behind this caring behavior is completely different. While birds and mammals (哺乳动物) likely use reasoning to help each other, ants simply rely on strong jaws rather than complex thought or empathy for their effective medical system to work. Frank’s research could also bring possible value to humans. He has found 70 wound-healing chemicals, which may be useful against harmful bacteria with resistance to antibiotics (抗生素). In this way, these ants could inspire future breakthroughs in modern medicine. 32. Why are the ants’ amputations preventive? A. To reduce the pain of the injured. B. To ensure the operation is effective. C. To cut off the injured or infected limb. D. To wait until an infection became obvious. 33. Which of the following is an example of “social immunocompetence”? A. Birds flying in groups to save more energy. B. Cats licking their own wounds to heal faster. C. Bees removing sick members to stop disease. D. Dogs eating green grass to clean their stomachs. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Complex social thoughts of tiny ants. B. Similar medical systems of wild animals. C. Excellent healing skills of larger animals. D. Different reasons behind caring behaviors. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Ant Amputation to Wound Care. B. From Ant Doctors to Human Medicine. C. From Insects Doctors to Realized Value. D. From Caring for Nestmates to Group Survival. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling is not just about exploring new places, but it is also an opportunity to learn about local customs, like what to speak, how to eat and etc. 36 This also shows respect for the locals. Here are four hints to help you be a more considerate traveller on your next trip. Learn about the destination you’re visiting. It will help you avoid uncomfortable or even illegal situations. Start your research with a visit to your government travel advice website. Then check out guidebooks, blogs and news sites for more information. 37 Learn some basic phrases. Language barriers can be one of the biggest challenges you’ll face when travelling. It’s best to learn a few basic phrases to make your trip a bit smoother. 38 Even if you only learn a few key phrases, they will appreciate your interest in their culture. 39 We all love snapping some beautiful shots on our culture travel experiences, but we must always ask permission before taking a photo of someone. In some countries, it’s considered offensive to have your photo taken. Accept differences. 40 As you go about your travels, you may feel uncomfortable at first, but if you embrace diversity with an open mind, you’ll see how wonderful the world can be. So let go of any stereotypes or biases (偏见) you may have about the place you’re visiting, and avoid criticisms or comparisons of other countries. A. Choose your vocabulary carefully. B. Ask permission before taking photos. C. It’s highly offensive to touch someone’s head. D. Every country is different and that’s a good thing. E. Don’t forget to keep learning once you’ve arrived there! F. This allows you to explore the world in a meaningful way. G. Doing so shows people that you are interested in their culture. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I have always been attracted by archaeology (考古) since I was little. The fact that archaeologists (考古学家) 41 history with their bare hands never fails to 42 me. In my room, I have a large collection of fossils, ranging from dinosaur bones to ancient marine specimens (样本). Years passed, but I still had no 43 experience. So, when the Center for American Archaeology offered a field summer program, I 44 the chance despite the fear of traveling alone. Everything felt completely new. I took my first 45 and met my roommate, Asher, who ended up as my best friend. Before going into the 46 , we attended a lecture, where we learned theories of how to use the tools needed for our work. I was thrilled to finally get my hands 47 . The moment I started, however, I realized how 48 I had been. The unbearable 49 made it hard to breathe as the sun beat down fiercely. Soon, my clothes were 50 through with sweat, yet I knew I couldn’t give up easily. On day six, I was shoveling in my square and scraping (刮掘) my way to the next level, when I heard a loud “CLICK.” My heart 51 — I had hit something important eventually. I dug around it with my small shovel carefully. 52 filled me as I dug out a piece of orange ceramic (陶片), dating back to around 500-1000 CE. By the end of the program, I understood just how much I had 53 : riding planes on my own, socializing with like-minded peers, 54 extreme weather, and valuing history firsthand. All this was possible because I took that leap of 55 in pursuing my passion. 41. A. damage B. uncover C. highlight D. monitor 42. A. puzzle B. concern C. fascinate D. amuse 43.

The rail line is also by far the highest in the world: at Tanggula Pass it is 5,072 meters 59 sea level, and more than 960 kilometers of the line is above 4,000 meters. The railway was first planned in the 1950s, but the technical difficulties were too much to overcome. It was not until 1984 60 the first 814-kilometer section of the railway, from Xining to Golmud, 61 (complete), and the rest of the railway had to wait for the development of new technology. The biggest issue was the permafrost. In the summer, in many places the top layer of the permafrost melts and turns to mud, making the ground unstable. A 62 (vary) of solutions were used to get around this. In some cases, railway bridges were built. The longest bridge — 63 world record in fact — is over 11.7 kilometers in length. Railway bridges not only keep the train line off the permafrost, but they also allow animals 64 (pass) under the tracks. In other cases, pipes were placed under the ground to keep it frozen during the summer. Finally, in some areas, 65 was impossible to build the railway over the permafrost, so engineers tunneled through it. 第二节 用课本单词适当形式填空：首字母已给出（共5分、每题1分） 66.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. Huck looked at him in surprise. “Are you crazy? The exam is coming soon. I’m going to study for the math test. If I get a good grade, my mum will buy me a new mountain bike.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. Paragraph 1 “You don’t look happy, Marc.
