Round everything (Philippines) Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round coins. Throwing paper out the window (Argentina) The pieces of coloured paper will fly through the streets of Buenos Aires around lunchtime on December 31. The reason behind the custom is that Argentinians throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain (幕；帷幕) falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind. It’s hardly the most dangerous thing flying out of windows around the world on New Year’s, though — many other Latin American countries are fond of throwing buckets of water, while South Africans throw out their old tables, chairs, etc. onto the street from great heights. Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark) If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door. The tradition is meant to bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. Danes also jump off chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany. Eating grapes fast (Spain) In Spain, with 12 seconds remaining until the New Year, people eat 12 green grapes to bring good luck in the coming year. It’s considered to be bad luck if you can’t eat them all by the final midnight chime (钟声). Eat them down in time and 12 months of good luck will come your way. 1. How do people in Philippines celebrate the New Year? A. By wearing new clothes on the eve. B. By picking up twelve different kinds of fruits. C. By wishing for wealth in the upcoming year. D. By getting close to something round. 2. Why do Argentinians throw out their old documents and papers on December 31? A. Because it is not the most dangerous custom. B. Because the curtain will fall on the new year. C. To leave the past year and welcome the new year. D. To bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. 3. What do the New Year celebrations of the four countries have in common? A. They are all traditional customs with good wishes for the coming year. B. They are all about eating special food to welcome the New Year. C. They are all popular around the whole world. D. They are all about throwing things to say goodbye to the past. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述除了美丽的新年烟花，世界各地还有许多独特且精彩的新年庆祝方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Round everything (Philippines)”部分“Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round coins.(菲律宾文化里，人们会准备十二种不同水果来迎接新年。苹果、甜瓜、橙子和葡萄都是热门选择，各类圆形水果均可。圆形瓜果寓意着新一年里月月财运亨通。当地人还会身穿圆点服饰，并在口袋里装满圆形硬币)”可知，菲律宾人通过接近圆形的事物来庆祝新年。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Throwing paper out the window (Argentina)”部分“The reason behind the custom is that Argentinians throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain (幕；帷幕) falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind.(这种习俗背后的原因是，阿根廷人在一年结束之前扔掉所有旧文件和纸张，以表示他们要告别过去)”可知，阿根廷人在12月31日扔掉旧文件和纸张是为了告别过去，迎接新年。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Although beautiful New Year’s fireworks light up skies around the world, there are also many unusual but wonderful ways people across the world observe the New Year.(绚烂的新年烟火点亮了世界各地的夜空，与此同时，各国人民也用许多新奇又有趣的方式欢度新年)”以及文中对四个国家新年庆祝方式的描述可知，菲律宾通过接近圆形事物寓意财富，阿根廷扔掉旧物告别过去迎接新年，丹麦扔盘子给房主带来好运，西班牙吃葡萄祈求来年好运，这些都是有着对来年美好祝愿的传统习俗。 B Jim Fullan is often mistaken as a player’s dad. Sometimes people even think he’s a coach. But the 57-year-old man is actually just part of the team. His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.” Fullan applied to several Pennsylvania community colleges to get his degree and spoke to a couple of baseball coaches to learn about the programs. But they refused him. It wasn’t until he went to a few of the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs’ games last spring that he felt he found support. He introduced himself to the coaches and they accepted the idea of him becoming a special student and an athlete. Fullan showed up for the tryout last fall. The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates. There is truly a big age gap, but he immediately caught the attention of the young who admired his determination. With 25 players trying out, only 18 made the team. That total included Fullan. When not attending class, Fullan is putting in work on the field. He’s not using age as an excuse. He attends all of the daily three-hour practices from Monday to Friday. Fullan says it is a daily challenge to keep up with his younger teammates so he has to get to practice early before they arrive. Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team. His story has been an inspiration to many away from the baseball field, including Kelly Dunbar, director of athletics at Montgomery County Community College. “I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.” 4. What can be learned about Fullan from the first two paragraphs? A. He hoped to re-experience college life. B. He taught young players after retirement. C. He tried to achieve a long-standing dream. D. He surprised others with his athletic abilities. 5. What made Fullan worried during his tryout? A. The difficulty of keeping focused. B. Serious competition among players. C. Uncertainty about teammates’ attitudes. D. The thought of making simple mistakes. 6. How does Fullan benefit his teammates with his participation? A. By providing job opportunities. B. By sharing his life wisdom. C. By driving training plans. D. By offering baseball skills. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. An Old Coach Returns to the Field B. A Team’s New Member C. A Student Athlete in College D. A Lifelong Baseball Dream Comes True 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述57岁的吉姆·富兰退休后追逐大学棒球梦，虽遭拒绝但未放弃，最终成功加入球队，其坚持激励了许多人的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.”(重返棒球场是他毕生的梦想。富兰去年退休，旨在实现打大学棒球的目标。“我从未有机会在大学打球，也没有继续尝试，”他说，“这个梦想一直萦绕在我心头。”)”以及第二段中他为实现梦想所做的努力可知，富兰一直在努力实现自己长久以来的梦想。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates.(选拔赛让他很焦虑，尤其是因为他不知道自己会如何被比他年轻得多的队友接受。)”可知，富兰在选拔赛期间担心的是队友对他的态度不确定。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team.(事实上，富兰能够与队友分享他丰富的人生经验。这使他能够与球队建立良好的关系。)”可知，富兰通过分享自己的人生智慧，让队友们受益。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“His return to the baseball field has been a life long dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball.(重返棒球场是他毕生的梦想。富兰去年退休，旨在实现打大学棒球的目标。)”以及最后一段中““I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.”(“我钦佩他坚守梦想的勇气，” 她说，“因为如今很多人都做不到这一点。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了57岁的富兰退休后勇敢追逐年轻时的棒球梦想并成功实现的故事。所以最佳标题为“一个毕生的棒球梦成真”。 C In Washington, D. C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window. This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating (迁徙), flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass. Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool, stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air. The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%. Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds. 8. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher? A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk. 9. What is the main reason birds collide with windows? A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights. C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating. 10. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season? A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country. C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help. 11. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds? A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Pointless. D. Expensive. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要揭示了美国城市玻璃建筑导致候鸟撞窗死亡的严峻现实及相应的防护措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window.(在办公楼旁边的人行道上，有一只橄榄绿的鸣禽。这是一只阿卡迪亚捕蝇鸟，毫无疑问是在飞往中美洲或南美洲的途中撞上了一扇窗户)”可知，志愿者在办公楼旁的人行道上发现这只捕蝇鸟。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective —presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass.(对鸟类来说，玻璃——无论是透明的还是反光的——都是一大危险，在城市里尤其如此，因为那里的建筑物都是玻璃)”及第三段中“That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air.(这时他们会碰到玻璃，他们不知道如何避免。如果是透明的，他们认为他们可以飞过。如果它是反射的，他们会把反射误认为是真实的树木和天空。这些碰撞大多发生在地面附近，而不是高空)”可知，鸟类无法识别玻璃才是撞击事件的主要原因。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest.(他们在月亮和星星的帮助下航行，早上下来休息)”可知，鸟类在夜间迁徙依靠月亮和星星导航。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%.(在芝加哥，在窗户上使用特殊薄膜可以减少高达95%的鸟类碰撞)”可推断，在窗户上贴膜来保护鸟类的做法切实可行。故选B。 D A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. After carefully comparing the data from different papers, the researchers concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 12. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2? A. Reduce. B. Improve. C. Understand. D. Influence. 13. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It is most likely to be ineffective. B. It was first presented by Mozart. C. It helps parents take good care of their children. D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention. 14. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 15. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph? A. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明学习音乐并不会提高孩子的智商，但是可以帮助孩子在其它方面有更好的表现。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies(有一段时间，在互联网和各种杂志上发现了一种观点，认为如果婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐，他们会变得更聪明。受此启发，一些父母给他们的孩子买了古典音乐CD)”可知，一些父母给他们的孩子买了古典音乐CD，是希望这能提高他们的智力。由此可知，划线词boost和improve“提高”意思相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.(但这种所谓的“莫扎特效应”一再受到挑战)”及第四段中的“After carefully comparing the data from different papers, the researchers concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.(在仔细比较了不同论文的数据后，研究人员得出结论，上过音乐课的孩子在智力或学术能力测试中的得分并不比没有学过音乐的孩子高)”可知，莫扎特效应极有可能是无效的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t.(但是上音乐课和听音乐真的不同吗？上音乐课不是会让孩子更聪明吗？这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出了这样的结论，而另一些则发现没有)”可推知，该段所列举的例子是为了说明学习音乐会让一个孩子变得更聪明的论点具有争议性。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.(音乐课本可以在不同方面有所帮助：它们可以改变家庭作业习惯，可以增强信心，或者可以提高社交技能。最后，他们还提到，如果音乐与这些课程相结合，音乐教育仍然可以有利于学生在非音乐学科的表现。所以继续创作音乐吧，继续鼓励孩子们学习音乐吧)”可知，新研究表明，虽然学习音乐并不会让一个孩子更聪明，但是可以提升孩子的多种能力。由此推知，应该鼓励孩子们上音乐课。故选A。 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。 Someone may find it difficult to learn history. ____16____ Of course, you need to study carefully in and out of the classroom.

Studying history can often feel like you’re memorizing many disconnected dates, names, and places. Avoid this by making the clear connections (联系) in the notes that you take. Then, when you’re preparing for a test, you’ll be able to draw on these connections and historical events. Ask your teacher about any information you didn’t understand. Sometimes students feel shy to ask their teacher questions, but there’s no reason to feel shy that way. If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class. ____20____. A. You can also send him an email that night. B. Therefore, it is useful to take notes in class. C. You may think it useless to take notes in class. D. Write down connections between the notes you take.

(有人可能会发现学习历史很困难。)”可知，上文告诉我们有人可能会发现学习历史很困难，G项意为“然而，学习历史可以很容易，甚至很愉快。”选项与上文构成转折关系，有人可能会发现学习历史很困难，然而，学习历史可以很容易，甚至很愉快。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Organize your notes in time order. (按时间顺序整理笔记。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们学习历史时，要按时间顺序整理笔记，E项意为“在历史上，许多事件都是按一定的顺序发生的。”选项能够承接上文，我们要按时间顺序整理历史笔记，因为在历史上，许多事件都是按一定的顺序发生的。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“As the information is on the blackboard in front of you, you don’t want to take notes. (由于信息在你面前的黑板上，你不想做笔记。)”可知，在历史课上，有些人不想记笔记，C项意为“你可能认为在课堂上做笔记是无用的。”选项能够承接上文，有些人不想记笔记，因为他们认为在课堂上做笔记是无用的。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Studying history can often feel like you’re memorizing many disconnected dates, names, and places. Avoid this by making the clear connections (联系) in the notes that you take. (学习历史常常会让人觉得你在记忆许多不相关的日期、姓名和地点。通过在笔记中明确联系来避免这种情况。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们，在历史笔记中，要明确记录内容之间的联系，D项意为“写下笔记之间的联系。”选项能够概括段落主旨，下文解释了我们为什么要写下笔记之间的联系。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class. (如果你对讲座中的某一点感到困惑，或者难以记住任何日期、姓名或地点，请不要犹豫，下课后问问你的老师。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们，在历史学习上遇到困难时，要向老师求助，A项意为“你也可以当晚给他发邮件。”选项能够承接上文，你可以下课后问问你的老师，也可以当晚给老师发邮件询问。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I work as a university professor at an art school in Australia.

For as long as I could remember, I had been afraid of speaking in public. I would lower my head in class whenever the teacher asked questions, fearing that my voice would shake or I would say the wrong words. I always sat in the corner of the classroom, hiding myself from others’ attention, and never dared to take part in any class activities or school events. I was used to staying in my comfort zone, even though I knew I was missing chances to grow. My English teacher, Ms. Li, noticed my timidity (胆怯) soon after the school term began. She often smiled at me in class and called my name to answer simple questions, but I still spoke in a very low voice and avoided eye contact with others. One afternoon, after the English class, she asked me to stay in the classroom. Instead of pushing me hard, she sat beside me and talked gently. She told me that she used to be a shy girl too, and she understood how nervous I felt. “Growing up is never easy, but every small step out of your comfort zone will make you stronger,” she said softly. She then encouraged me to join the school’s English story-telling competition, saying it was a good chance to challenge myself. I was shocked and refused at once. The idea of standing on the stage in front of all the teachers and students made my heart beat wildly and my hands full of sweat. But Ms. Li didn’t give up. She promised to help me prepare for it, from choosing the story to practicing pronunciation and facial expressions. Looking at her warm and trusting eyes, I finally agreed, though my heart was filled with worry and fear. In the following two weeks, I practiced the story for half an hour every day after school. Ms. Li always stayed with me, patiently correcting my mistakes and cheering me up. Whenever I wanted to give up because of nervousness, she would encourage me to keep going. Slowly, I became more familiar with the story and felt less scared. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the story-telling competition came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience turned out to be a turning point in my high school life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, the day of the story-telling competition came.​ Standing backstage, my palms were sweaty and my legs shook. When my name was called, I took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. Seeing Ms. Li’s encouraging smile in the front row, I gathered my courage. Though my voice trembled initially, it steadied as I focused on the story. I forgot the audience and immersed myself in the plot. When I finished, thunderous applause erupted. A wave of relief and pride washed over me as I bowed, realizing I had conquered my greatest fear. That experience turned out to be a turning point in my high school life.​ The wall of shyness trapping me for years collapsed. I realized I was more capable than I had ever imagined. Since then, I have actively participated in class discussions and even hosted school events. Ms. Li’s encouragement taught me that growth happens outside the comfort zone. No longer hiding in corners, I now embrace every opportunity to express myself, facing challenges with newfound confidence and a brave heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了害羞的高一新生在李老师的鼓励与帮助下，克服对公众演讲的恐惧，勇敢参加英语讲故事比赛，并最终突破自我的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写比赛当天作者紧张的心理状态、上台后的表现变化以及赢得掌声后的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写这次比赛对作者产生的深远影响，以及她此后在生活和学习中发生的积极转变。 2.段落续写：赛前紧张——登台演讲——表现渐佳——赢得掌声——信心大增——生活转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走上舞台：walk onto the stage/step onto the platform/mount the stage ②深吸一口气：take a deep breath/inhale deeply/draw a breath 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②自信：confidence/self-assurance/self-belief 【点睛】【高分句型1】When my name was called, I took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Ms. Li’s encouragement taught me that growth happens outside the comfort zone.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年5月高一年级试题 英语 (本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的姓名、班级、考号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2．答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。 3．答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4．所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每题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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

Round everything (Philippines) Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round coins. Throwing paper out the window (Argentina) The pieces of coloured paper will fly through the streets of Buenos Aires around lunchtime on December 31. The reason behind the custom is that Argentinians throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain (幕；帷幕) falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind. It’s hardly the most dangerous thing flying out of windows around the world on New Year’s, though — many other Latin American countries are fond of throwing buckets of water, while South Africans throw out their old tables, chairs, etc. onto the street from great heights. Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark) If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door. The tradition is meant to bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. Danes also jump off chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany. Eating grapes fast (Spain) In Spain, with 12 seconds remaining until the New Year, people eat 12 green grapes to bring good luck in the coming year. It’s considered to be bad luck if you can’t eat them all by the final midnight chime (钟声). Eat them down in time and 12 months of good luck will come your way. 1. How do people in Philippines celebrate the New Year? A. By wearing new clothes on the eve. B. By picking up twelve different kinds of fruits. C. By wishing for wealth in the upcoming year. D. By getting close to something round. 2. Why do Argentinians throw out their old documents and papers on December 31? A. Because it is not the most dangerous custom. B. Because the curtain will fall on the new year. C. To leave the past year and welcome the new year. D. To bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. 3. What do the New Year celebrations of the four countries have in common? A. They are all traditional customs with good wishes for the coming year. B. They are all about eating special food to welcome the New Year. C. They are all popular around the whole world. D. They are all about throwing things to say goodbye to the past. B Jim Fullan is often mistaken as a player’s dad. Sometimes people even think he’s a coach. But the 57-year-old man is actually just part of the team. His return to the baseball field has been a lifelong dream. Fullan retired last year to reach his goal of playing college baseball. “I never took the opportunity to play in college or continue to try,” he says. “It was always on my mind.” Fullan applied to several Pennsylvania community colleges to get his degree and spoke to a couple of baseball coaches to learn about the programs. But they refused him. It wasn’t until he went to a few of the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs’ games last spring that he felt he found support. He introduced himself to the coaches and they accepted the idea of him becoming a special student and an athlete. Fullan showed up for the tryout last fall. The tryout made him anxious, particularly because he didn’t know how he was going to be received by his much younger teammates. There is truly a big age gap, but he immediately caught the attention of the young who admired his determination. With 25 players trying out, only 18 made the team. That total included Fullan. When not attending class, Fullan is putting in work on the field. He’s not using age as an excuse. He attends all of the daily three-hour practices from Monday to Friday. Fullan says it is a daily challenge to keep up with his younger teammates so he has to get to practice early before they arrive. Actually, Fullan is able to share his wealth of knowledge from his life experience with his teammates. This enables him to develop good relationships with the team. His story has been an inspiration to many away from the baseball field, including Kelly Dunbar, director of athletics at Montgomery County Community College. “I admire his courage to keep his dream alive,” she says, “because many people don’t do that these days.” 4. What can be learned about Fullan from the first two paragraphs? A. He hoped to re-experience college life. B. He taught young players after retirement. C. He tried to achieve a long-standing dream. D. He surprised others with his athletic abilities. 5. What made Fullan worried during his tryout? A. The difficulty of keeping focused. B. Serious competition among players. C. Uncertainty about teammates’ attitudes. D. The thought of making simple mistakes. 6. How does Fullan benefit his teammates with his participation? A. By providing job opportunities. B. By sharing his life wisdom. C. By driving training plans. D. By offering baseball skills. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. An Old Coach Returns to the Field B. A Team’s New Member C. A Student Athlete in College D. A Lifelong Baseball Dream Comes True C In Washington, D. C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window. This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating (迁徙), flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass. Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool, stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air. The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%. Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds. 8. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher? A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk. 9. What is the main reason birds collide with windows? A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights. C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating. 10. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season? A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country. C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help. 11. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds? A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Pointless. D. Expensive. D A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. After carefully comparing the data from different papers, the researchers concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 12. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2? A. Reduce. B. Improve. C. Understand. D. Influence. 13. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It is most likely to be ineffective. B. It was first presented by Mozart. C. It helps parents take good care of their children. D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention. 14. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 15. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph? A. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C.

For as long as I could remember, I had been afraid of speaking in public. I would lower my head in class whenever the teacher asked questions, fearing that my voice would shake or I would say the wrong words. I always sat in the corner of the classroom, hiding myself from others’ attention, and never dared to take part in any class activities or school events. I was used to staying in my comfort zone, even though I knew I was missing chances to grow. My English teacher, Ms. Li, noticed my timidity (胆怯) soon after the school term began. She often smiled at me in class and called my name to answer simple questions, but I still spoke in a very low voice and avoided eye contact with others. One afternoon, after the English class, she asked me to stay in the classroom. Instead of pushing me hard, she sat beside me and talked gently. She told me that she used to be a shy girl too, and she understood how nervous I felt. “Growing up is never easy, but every small step out of your comfort zone will make you stronger,” she said softly. She then encouraged me to join the school’s English story-telling competition, saying it was a good chance to challenge myself. I was shocked and refused at once. The idea of standing on the stage in front of all the teachers and students made my heart beat wildly and my hands full of sweat. But Ms. Li didn’t give up. She promised to help me prepare for it, from choosing the story to practicing pronunciation and facial expressions. Looking at her warm and trusting eyes, I finally agreed, though my heart was filled with worry and fear. In the following two weeks, I practiced the story for half an hour every day after school. Ms. Li always stayed with me, patiently correcting my mistakes and cheering me up. Whenever I wanted to give up because of nervousness, she would encourage me to keep going. Slowly, I became more familiar with the story and felt less scared. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the story-telling competition came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience turned out to be a turning point in my high school life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
