河北承德市2025-2026学年高二下学期5月阶段检测英语试题

高二英语·参考答案 听力 1-5 ABBAC 6-10 BBAAC 11-15 ACBCA 16-20 CBBCC 阅读 A篇 本文是一篇实用的山地徒步介绍文，主要介绍列宁峰大本营徒步特色、帕米尔地貌优势及高原徒步的各项出行须知与费用参考。 21. A细节理解题。根据标题“Lenin Peak Base Camp Trek (徒步): Independent Guide”以及第一段内容可知，文章重点推荐不靠团队、仅靠背包自主出行的徒步方式，面向独自出行的旅行者创作，故选A。 22. B推理判断题。根据“trekking above 3,500 meters where many standard travel insurance plans stop providing coverage”可知，本次徒步海拔较高，常规旅行保险会失效，难以覆盖此次行程，故选B。 23. B推理判断题。根据表格各项最低收费标准及 4×4 vehicle allows 4 passengers to share the cost 可知，按单人最低成本计算：拼车 1,000 + 小巴 400 + 四驱车拼车分摊 500（2,000÷4）+ 民宿 500 + 蒙古包 1,700 = 4,100 KGS，符合最低预算要求。故选B。 B篇 本文主要讲的是少年Boyan Slat应对海洋塑料污染问题的经历与成就。 24．B.细节理解题。根据第二段“They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources.(他们认为，由于塑料覆盖的区域如此之大，使用带有网的船只进行清理需要数千年的时间，并且需要花费数十亿美元，这似乎是对资源的极大浪费。)”可知，清理太平洋垃圾带时面临的主要难题是塑料垃圾分布广泛，使得清理工作成本高昂且难以完成。 25. D.细节理解题。根据第三段“These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath.(这些屏障随着海浪移动，使得速度较快的塑料能够被捕捉并集中在一个区域，而海洋生物则可以在其下方安全地游动。)”可知，Slat的被动收集系统通过使用浮动屏障利用洋流来捕获塑料。 26．D.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design.(然而，他们并没有放弃，而是对每一个错误进行分析，并改进了他们的设计。)”可知，Slat应对文中提到的质疑和技术挫折的方法是从失败中吸取教训来调整策略。 27．B.推理判断题。 文中明确提到，Slat 在等待航班时突然意识到一个关键原理——“why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you?”（第3段）。他据此提出使用巨型浮动屏障的被动系统，模拟人工海岸线，让洋流将塑料垃圾汇聚到一起。这一方案完全颠覆了传统“主动捕捞”的思路，体现了极强的创新思维。Slat 的方案并非空想。他的系统利用了自然洋流的力量，减少了能源和人力成本；面对早期技术失败和严厉批评，他的团队“analyzed every mistake and improved their design”（第4段），最终使技术成功运行，并回收了成吨的塑料垃圾。这些塑料还被制造成太阳镜等耐用产品，利润反哺清理项目。这说明他的创新不是理想化的，而是经过实践检验、可落地、可持续的，因此非常“务实”。 C篇 28C 29D 30B 31D D篇 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家创造性地利用几十年前的罐头三文鱼作为样本，通过分析其中的寄生虫来研究过去海洋生态系统的变化及健康状况。 32. A细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon... These cans contained cuts from four species collected over a 42-year period”可知，现代样本难以获取，而罐头提供了跨越42年的历史样本，这是一种获取历史数据的创新方式，故选A。 33. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I see their existence as a signal that the fish on your plate came from a stable or recovering ecosystem.”可知，Mastick认为寄生虫的存在反而是生态系统稳定或正在恢复的信号，即生态系统可能是健康的，故选C。 34. D细节理解题。根据第五段中“While the canning process preserved the outer structure of the worms, it destroyed the internal features scientists would need to identify specific species.”可知，罐头制作过程破坏了识别具体物种所需的内部特征，导致无法对寄生虫进行具体的物种分类，故选D。 35. C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章的核心在于科学家通过检查被忽视的旧罐头（decades-old cans）来获取关于生态系统的隐藏信息（secrets），C选项最能概括这一独特的研究视角和主要内容，故选C。 七选五 本文是一篇说明文，文章倡导有节制、非极端的“数字戒断”，鼓励人们不必完全抛弃手机，而是通过一些小步骤（如设定无科技区域、尝试放下手机一下午、就餐时索要纸质菜单、保持卧室无电子设备等）来减少对手机的依赖，从而获得更健康、更专注的生活。 32. E “It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.”（这是一种有计划、用心的数字技术休息。）直接定义“数字戒断”，与后文“不必极端”衔接自然。 33. D：“Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon instead.”（尝试先放下手机一个下午。）与后文“small blocks of time”对应，且为温和的入门方式。 34. F：“You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.”（你可能会发现自己有时间发展新爱好了。）符合“减少手机使用→腾出时间”的逻辑，自然收束本段。 35. B：“Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.”（尽可能索要纸质菜单。）直接提供替代方案，与后文建议吻合。 36. C：“Assign some areas of your home as tech-free.”（指定家中某些区域为无科技区域。）高度概括本段内容（如卧室无电视、无手机），且与文章开头“有一些想法帮你开始”呼应。 完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了John在印度工作期间与司机Arjun建立的深厚情谊。当Arjun遭遇车祸陷入困境时，John伸出援手，这份跨越国界的温暖治愈了彼此的孤独。 41. A句意：远离家乡，孤独每天都笼罩着我。根据前文moving to New Delhi alone可知，作者独自一人来到异国他乡，因此每天被loneliness所包围。后文提到的My only comfort也反向印证了这种孤独感。故选A。 42. C句意：我唯一的安慰来自Arjun，一位每天接我去上班的司机。根据后文dropped me off to work daily可知，这里描述的是司机接送的过程。既然有“送”，对应的前一个动作应该是“接”。fetch意为“去拿来，去接来”，符合语境。故选C。 43. D句意：他甚至周末带我去红堡和印度门，充当我的免费向导。根据前文提到的地点Red Fort and India Gate以及后文He shared local stories可知，Arjun不仅仅是开车，还介绍当地故事，这符合guide的角色。故选D。 44. A句意：那些旅程缓解了我的孤独—对我来说，Arjun已经不仅仅是一个司机了。根据上文提到的sweet chai和分享故事等温馨细节，这些活动显然是为了减轻作者的孤独感。故选A。 45. D句意：我在大门口焦虑地踱步，然后不得不坐了另一辆车。根据空后的anxiously可知，作者在等待司机却没等到，焦急的状态下通常会有的动作是paced。故选D。 46. B句意：一天过去了，担忧开始占据上风—他的缺席留下了一个空虚的空间。随着时间推移，Arjun仍未出现，作者的担心越来越重。take over意为“接管，占上风”，形象地描述了担忧情绪占据了作者的内心。故选B。 47. A句意：那天晚上我觉得胃很不舒服，就去了医院。根据后文went to the hospital可知，作者身体出现了状况。故选A。 48句意：经过病房时，一个熟悉的身影让我在那儿惊呆了。作者本是来看病，却意外发现了失踪的司机躺在病床上，这种突如其来的震惊用stunned最合适。故选B。 49句意：护士说他遭遇了车祸，正困于无力支付的医疗账单。根据后文I paid for him immediately可知，Arjun面临经济困难，无法支付账单。be stuck with意为“被……缠住/难以摆脱”，在此处表示他因没钱而陷入困境。故选B。 50. C句意：当他醒来并得知此事后，他声音哽咽地说：“谢谢你，John。”面对老板替自己支付医药费的恩情，Arjun感动得流泪，因此声音是tearful。故选C。 51. D句意：我不得不暂时停止我的工作，但我很快就会把钱还给你。因为遭遇车祸住院，所以工作是temporarily停止，等他康复后会继续。故选D。 52. A句意：我开玩笑说：“是啊，你欠我的人情—等你好了继续安全地开车送我上班，否则你就要被解雇了。这是一个幽默的玩笑。John帮了Arjun大忙，Arjun说要还钱，John便顺着话说“你欠我的”，以此来化解对方的心理负担，同时也引出后半句关于工作的玩笑。故选A。 53. B句意：……否则你就要被解雇了。这是老板对员工开的玩笑话。如果不回来上班（或者不平安开车），后果通常是dismissed。故选B。 54. C句意：后来，当Arjun再次开车送我时，他的车感觉比以往任何时候都更舒适温馨。经历了这次生死患难，两人的关系更加亲密，车里充满了温情，所以感觉是cosier。故选C。 55. D句意：那辆车不仅仅载我去上班；它承载着我们给予彼此的点滴温暖，是在这座曾经感觉如此冰冷的城市里一种安静而稳固的纽带。整篇文章讲述的是两人之间建立的情谊。bond意为“纽带/联系”，完美总结了这种跨越国籍和雇佣关系的深厚情感。故选D。 语法填空 本文介绍了澳大利亚维多利亚州的大洋路，它是一条为纪念一战牺牲士兵而建的风景绝美的沿海公路，沿途拥有冲浪文化、野生动物和壮丽自然景观等丰富体验。 56. features考查主谓一致与时态。句子主语是it（指代 The Great Ocean Road），为第三人称单数。整篇文章主要描述这条路的客观事实和现状，因此使用一般现在时。动词feature意为“以……为特色”，故填 features。 57. Carved考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语是后面 the Great Ocean Road与carve（开凿/雕刻）之间是被动关系（路是被开凿出来的），且动作已完成，所以使用过去分词形式。注意句首首字母大写，故填Carved。 58. a 考查冠词。这里Torquay被描述为墨尔本西南部的一个城镇，表示泛指“一个……的城镇”，且town 是可数名词单数，第一个音素为辅音。故填不定冠词a。 59. passing考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词 stretches。此处表示伴随状态或主动的动作，主语it（大洋路）主动延伸并经过（pass）沿海城镇，因此使用现在分词形式，故填passing。 60. with考查介词。此处是一个with 复合结构（with + 宾语 + 宾补），用来补充说明Torquay的情况。结构为：with + several schools (宾语) + offering... (现在分词作补足语)。这种结构在描述背景或原因时非常常见，故填with。 61. truly考查词性转换。空格后的Australian是形容词，修饰形容词需要使用副词。true的副词形式是truly，故填truly。 62. kangaroos考查名词复数。这里的含义是在袋鼠群中打高尔夫。Kangaroo是可数名词，在此处表示泛指这一类动物或多个个体，因此需要用复数形式，故填kangaroos。 63. moody考查词性转换。空格位于定冠词the和名词landscapes之间，需要填入一个形容词来修饰 landscapes。mood的形容词形式是moody，在这里形容景色“变幻莫测的”或“富有情绪感的”，故填moody。 64. where定语从句关系词。这是一个定语从句，先行词是journey（抽象地点）。从句部分nature, adventure, and wonder meet结构完整（主谓结构），不缺主语或宾语，而是表示“在这个旅程中”，因此使用关系副词where，故填where。 65. what考查主语从句。句意：它展现出的自然美景在无声地提醒着我们：今日所见之景，或许明日便不复存在。逗号后的部分是remind us的宾语从句。在该从句中，___ stands today作主语，缺少主语成分，指代“今天矗立在那里的东西/事物”，因此使用连接代词what，故填what。 书面表达 范文一、It is definitely wise that we speed up ocean development, which carries boundless potential for human progress. With advanced deep-sea exploration equipment widely applied, we can tap into rich marine resources that are hidden beneath the vast ocean. This move also drives technological innovation, as scientists keep breaking technical barriers related to marine engineering. Ocean development will not disturb ecological balance if carried out properly. Many projects, guided by eco-friendly rules, focus on sustainable exploitation. The ocean, being a precious treasure house, deserves rational exploration. Only when we quicken related research and construction can we realize harmonious coexistence between humans and the marine world. 范文二、We firmly hold the view that we should never speed up ocean development blindly, which will bring severe threats to marine ecosystems. Deep-sea creatures, living in stable habitats for millions of years, will lose homes once large-scale exploitation begins. With marine pollution worsening day by day, hasty development will further destroy the fragile ecological balance. Much advanced technology we own is still unable to repair marine damage effectively. Some ocean projects, lacking long-term assessment, have already caused irreversible harm. The ocean’s self-repair ability limited, we must slow down exploration. It is sustainable protection rather than rapid development that truly benefits mankind in the long run. 读后续写 After a long struggle in his heart, Tony made up his mind. He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and took out a pen and a piece of paper. With trembling hands, he wrote down a sincere apology note, including his name, class, and phone number, promising to take full responsibility. He carefully stuck the note on the front window of the luxury car. Although he knew he might face a heavy financial burden, a sense of relief washed over him. His soul felt surprisingly light as he finally headed home. That evening, Tony’s phone rang. Seeing an unknown number, his stomach tightened with nervousness. He answered it hesitantly, preparing himself for anger or a huge bill. To his surprise, a warm male voice came through, “Are you the student who left the note?” The car owner told Tony not to worry about the compensation at all. “That scratch can be fixed, but your honesty is priceless,” the man said warmly. Hearing those words, Tony was touched, tears of relief welled up in his eyes. He realized that sticking to his principles was indeed the best birthday gift for himself and his grandfather. 听力材料 Text 1 背单词困境 M: Mary, how did you build such a large vocabulary?

Our slogan is “Grow together, shine together.” Next, we will kick off our team-building with a warm game called Guess Who. It is a classic game fit for our campfire atmosphere and great for shy or new members. Each person sticks a note with a famous person or an object on the forehead. You can only ask yes-or-no questions to guess your identity. If the other person can’t get the right answer, you can use your hands or expressions to give some clues, but no describing in words. The game ends when everyone finds out their assigned role. After the game, we will divide 20 members into four groups. Each group needs to elect a group leader to manage group matters. Let’s enjoy our first activity and make new friends! 【高二英语参考答案 第 1 页 （共 6 页）】 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1. What is the weather like now? A. Rainy. B.

While most people arrive on organised expeditions, getting there by public transport with nothing but a backpack is entirely possible and far cheaper than it looks on paper. Why the Pamirs? The Pamir mountain range stretches across the far south of Kyrgyzstan, forming a natural border with Tajikistan. The landscape reflects that sense of being at the edge of things: enormous,plain, and free from anything unnecessary. Where the Tien Shan can feel green in summer, thePamirs are rawer and more exposed, with wide rocky valleys and permanent snowfields. There are no rows of guesthouses and no steady stream of trekkers on the path ahead of you. What you get instead is a genuine sense of remoteness that is increasingly hard to find anywhere in Central Asia. Practical Information ● Permits Technically, the area around Lenin Peak falls within a border zone due to its being close toTajikistan, and a permit is required to trek here. ● Altitude (海拔) Tulpar-Kul sits at around 3500 metres and Traveller’s Pass is above 4000 metres. Take it slowly on your first day and pay attention to how you’re feeling. Headaches and exhaustion are common at this altitude and usually manageable, but they’re a signal to slow down rather than push on. ● Don’t forget Travel Insurance Trekking to Lenin Peak Base Camp takes you above 3,500 meters, an altitude where many standard travel insurance plans stop providing coverage. I personally use and recommend Safety Wing for trekking in Kyrgyzstan. Their Nomad Insurance specifically covers “hiking up to 4,500 meters” in their standard policy. ● How Much Does It Cost to Trek to Lenin Peak Base Camp? Expense Approximate Cost Shared taxi Bishkek →Osh (per seat) 1,000-1,500 KGS Marshrutka Osh→Sary-Mogul 400-600 KGS 4×4 Sary-Mogul →Tulpar-Kul (per car,4 passengers per car) 2,000-4,000 KGS Guesthouse in Sary-Mogul (per night) 500-800 KGS Yurt camp at Tulpar-Kul (per night, dinner + breakfast) 1,700 KGS+ Permit (border zone) Variable 21. Who are the targeted readers of the text? A. Single travellers. B. Group tour participants. C. Travel agency workers. D. Professional mountaineers. 22. What can be concluded from the practical tips? A. Common altitude discomforts call for a stop. B. Regular insurance may fail to cover this trek. C. Visitors can trek in the border zone without a permit. D. Traveller’s Pass is measured at precisely 4,000 metres. 23. What is the minimum budget for one traveller using public transport except permits? A. About 3,000 KGS. B. About 4,100 KGS. C. About 5,100 KGS. D. About 6,000 KGS. B When 16-year-old Boyan Slat went diving in Greece, he expected to see colorful fish and coral. Instead, he was shocked to find himself swimming through a sea of plastic bags and bottles. This disturbing experience opened his eyes to the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, most experts believed cleaning up this mess was impossible. They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources. However, Slat refused to accept this pessimistic attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you? He proposed a passive system using giant floating barriers that act like artificial coastlines. These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath. Slat was so committed to this vision that he dropped out of college to focus entirely on his project. He founded “The Ocean Cleanup”, a non-profit organization committed to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic. The journey was far from smooth; his team faced severe criticism and technical failures during the early stages. However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions. Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution. 24. What was the key challenge in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? A. The plastic was too heavy to be lifted by ships. B. Plastic waste’s wide spread made cleaning costly and unachievable. C. The ocean currents were too strong for ships to navigate. D. The plastic was mixed with marine life, making it difficult to separate. 25. How does Slat’s passive system work to collect plastic? A. By using ships with nets to chase and catch the plastic. B. By using ocean currents to concentrate trash. C. By treating plastic with chemicals to make it small. D. By using floating barriers to trap plastic with currents. 26. How did Slat respond to the doubts and technical setbacks in the text? A. He published papers to prove experts wrong. B. He sought government support to solve technical issues. C. He ignored the criticism and stuck to his original plan. D. He adjusted his approach through learning from failures. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Boyan Slat? A. Analytical and modest. B. Innovative and practical. C. Realistic and cautious. D. Persistent and open-minded. C One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on Earth”. However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants. Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes away. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land. Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people. The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed. 28. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of paragraph 1? A. The Pacific island is a paradise. B. The Pacific island is worth visiting. C. The advertisement is not convincing. D. The advertisement is not impressive. 29. The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________. A. its natural resources are untouched B. its forests are exploited for farmland C. it develops well in health and education D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists 30.

Scientists are eager to understand how these systems are changing as the climate shifts. The challenge is that reliable samples from decades ago are hard to find. Natalie Mastick, a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, took an unconventional approach. Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon. These cans contained cuts from four species collected over a 42-year period in the Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay. Mastick and her team opened 178 cans and analyzed the preserved fish, counting tiny parasitic worms (寄生虫) known as anisakids in the fish. Although these worms had been killed during the canning process, they hold valuable scientific information. At first glance, finding worms in fish may seem alarming. But scientists say the opposite can be true. “The anisakid life cycle integrates many components of the food web. I see their existence as a signal that the fish on your plate came from a stable or recovering ecosystem.” said Mastick. The team’s findings showed that anisakid levels increased in certain salmon species between 1979 and 2021. One key factor accounting for this upward trend may be the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which helped populations of seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals recover after years of decline. “Anisakids can only reproduce in a marine mammal, so this could be a sign that, over our study period, anisakid levels were rising because of more opportunities to reproduce,” said Mastick. The stable anisakid levels observed in some kinds of salmon are more difficult to interpret. There are many different anisakid species, each relying on its own combination of hosts. While the canning process preserved the outer structure of the worms, it destroyed the internal features scientists would need to identify specific species. Researchers believe this method could be applied to other preserved seafood, offering a new way to explore historical ecosystems. They also hope their work encourages scientists to think creatively about overlooked data sources. 32. Why did Mastick use canned salmon for her research? A. To creatively access historical data. B. To find a cheaper way to study fish. C. To test the safety of preserved food. D. To prove the quality of Alaska’s fisheries. 33. What does the presence of anisakids in salmon indicate according to Mastick? A. The water temperature is dropping. B. The salmon population is decreasing. C. The marine ecosystem is likely healthy. D. The fish is unsafe for human consumption. 34. What is the limitation of using canned salmon in this study? A. The canning process is conventional. B. The anisakids were too large to count. C. The cans were not preserved well enough. D. The specific species couldn’t be classified. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Anisakids: Indicators of Ocean Species B. Ecological impact on Marine Food Webs C. The Secrets Hidden in Decades-Old Cans D. Alaska’s Salmon: A Proof of Climate Change 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox may be just what you need.    36    When people hear the word detox, they may think it’s a strict all-or-nothing thing, but it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Here are some ideas to get you started. It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it.    37    Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you rely on it. If you’re in a situation where you can’t drop your phone, block out time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day.    38    Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom, but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life. Quick-response (QR) codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’re dinning out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone.    39    If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.    40    Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep. A. You are not alone as a digital addict. B. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible. C. Assign some areas of your home as tech-free. D. Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon instead. E. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology. F. You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby. G. Taking breaks from social media guarantees you a good sleep. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分25分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I’m John, and I was assigned to India’s branch office for work, moving to New Delhi alone.

His teacher’s words echoed (回响) in his ears:”True character is revealed not when things are easy, but when you face the consequences of your mistakes. Honesty is the heaviest weight, yet it makes your soul the lightest.” Suddenly, he stopped short, a realization dawning on him. He glanced at his watch and let out a sharp breath. It was his grandfather’s birthday, and he had planned to bake a cake for him personally. Time was pressing! Anxious not to disappoint his beloved grandfather, Tony grabbed his bicycle and pedaled as fast as he could down the quiet suburban road. The street was unusually deserted, with only the cold wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Lost in the happy thought of the birthday surprise, Tony turned a sharp corner too fast. Crack! A loud, sharp sound froze his blood. He had sideswiped a shiny, black luxury car parked by the roadside. Tony jumped off, his legs trembling uncontrollably. A long, ugly scratch (划痕) damaged the shiny door of the million-dollar car. Panic seized him like a giant hand. He looked around wildly —— the street remained deadly silent. No cameras, no witnesses, just him and the cold wind. A risky thought flashed through his mind: “Just ride away! No one will ever know. You can still make it home in time for the cake.” In no time, his foot touched the pedal, ready to flee. But at that critical moment, the teacher’s voice crashed into his mind. Then, he pictured his parents’ earnest faces. They had always taught him that a real man never turns away from responsibility. However, another voice in his head whispered: “Just hurry back home and pretend nothing happened. Your family is not rich, and you can’t afford such a large compensation (赔偿).” He hesitated, his feet rooted to the ground. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para 1: After a long struggle in his heart. Tony made up his mind. Para 2: That evening, Tony’s phone rang. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
