As chairman of the Student Union,I'm sony to hear that the birds'chirping has affected your study and concentration.After a full discussion,we have finally decided not to remove the bird nests on campus. Our school is not merely a home for students,but also a warm sanctuary for little birds.Removing their nests will deprive them of their only shelters and upset the delicate ecological balance around us.Moreover, soft birdsong allows us to relax ourselves and refresh our minds amid busy study,bringing endless vitality to the whole campus.More importantly,it is meaningful for us to learn to adapt to small inconveniences in our shared living environment. Instead of changing the birds'living conditions,you can close the windows or wear earplugs to block out disturbing sounds.Why not regard the lovely birdsong as natural white noise or a wonderful dusk concert?We believe living in harmony with nature is truly precious.Wish you a pleasant study experience in our school! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 67. Suddenly,an idea occurred to Jane.Why not share her camping photos and the stories behind them? She grabbed her camera,flipping through snapshots of magnificent mountain sunrises and the funny scene where the tent collapsed on her sister.Sweet memories flooded her mind as she recalled getting up early in the bitter cold to capture the perfect sunrise,with her father's words always cheering her on.As she arranged the photos into a slideshow and jotted down brief notes,her anxiety faded away little by little. The next morning,Jane brought her photos to school.When it was her turn,she nervously stepped onto the stage.The instant the photo of the golden sunrise appeared on the screen,she calmed down and spoke confidently.She talked about the tough climb and her father's encouragement,holding the whole class spellbound.Loud applause broke out the second she finished.Mrs.Marshall complimented her on sharing her genuine passion.Overwhelmed with pride,Jane realized that public speaking was no longer a terrifying nightmare once she talked about what she truly loved. 1.M:What would you like to do in your lifetime? W:I want to travel to Mars.I think that would be the most amazing thing I ever do in life.What about you?

M:If it is,I'll have to get the key from the headmaster.Oh,but he's not in today,is he? W:No,I think he's gone on holiday.He might have taken the key with him.

W:She was in school today.I saw her this morning. 11.12.13.W:Thank you for inviting me to view this special exhibition.It was my pleasure to come to this gallery. M:That's all right.The artworks were painted by a local artist.He spent decades painting the beauty of this unique town,along with scenes from his life. W:May I ask a question?I heard that the artist died in 1922 without ever selling a single painting.Is that true? M:Yes,indeed.The artist preferred to be alone.He lived by himself,working in secret,and painted almost all his life.His friends and family only discovered his talent after he died at the age of 92.When they cleared his house,they found more than 300 paintings.And no one had ever seen these paintings. W:How surprised and delighted he would be to know that his artworks are now being shown like this! M:Yes.One thing I particularly love is that these paintings tell me what his life was like from when he was young until his death. 14.15.16.17.W:Hey Liam.Why do you look so down?What happened?

W:Ask your instructor to go with you to the exam.You are allowed to have them in the back of the car. M:Really? W:Yes.My cousin did that to help her pass.It took her seven times! M:I shall talk to my instructor about it. W:How many lessons have you had? M:Feels like a million.But probably around 50.All my salary from working at McDonald's disappears because of driving tests. W:It will be worth it in the end.It took me forever to pass my English and math exams.You must keep going.It's the same when you are applying for jobs.You might be turned down 10 times,but on the 11th try, the job is yours. M:I suppose so. 18.19.20.Hello,and welcome to Sounds of the Airwaves.First released in 1970,the last song we played was Let It Be by the Beatles.Written by English musician Paul McCartney,the song was inspired by a dream he had of his mother,who sadly died when he was just fourteen.In the dream,she tried to make Paul feel better by saying everything would be okay,and just "let it be".He woke up,wrote the song,and it went to number one in countries all over the world!

Museums have changed.We'll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris,but nowadays you'll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone.The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance,level of enjoyment,and the beauty of the collections. Museum of Motherhood (MOM St.Petersburg,Florida The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kinda museum and educational center covering the art,science and history of mothers. "I watched a couple of kids from the local high school try on the pregnancy vests ( complaining,"says museum founder Martha Joy Rose."Within five minutes,they begged to take them off.” National Comedy Center (NCC) Jamestown,New York Based in Lucille Ball's hometown,this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld's puffy shirt and Joan Rivers's card catalog of65,000 jokes. "Before visitors go through the entrance,they create their sense of humor profile,""says executive director Journey Gunderson.They choose what they find funny,and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste."

B Papa and I bonded over various games.An eight-square wooden chessboard was his treasured possession,where we played chess every Saturday. "Check!"I boasted."Oh dear..."Papa murmured as he examined the board.He moved his knight to shield his king.“Checkmate,.”he smirked(得意地笑).The game ended soon.Afterwards, we would always review the match.Though household noises surrounded us,Papa devoted himself to pointing out my weaknesses and guiding me to make progress. Papa never held back against me.He provided me with the tools to win on my own.My skills were improving,but his seemed to do the opposite.I only won occasionally,mostly when he felt unwell.In his later years,the Papa I knew was slowly and painfully stolen from me by Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默病).As his once keen mind started to fog,.our relationship began to change and adapt.. Our games transitioned from chess to checkers(国际跳棋). Once during the game,Papa made moves unconsciously,leaving chances for me to jump and capture his pieces one after another.I gained obvious advantages.However,a moment that was supposed to bring me pride was causing my stomach to twist and turn. It felt unusual for me to stand a good chance of beating my once talented father.He stared at the board hard,struggling to work out proper moves and accidentally created more winning opportunities for me.I wondered if he let me win on purpose.I hoped his blurred mind could regain its wisdom once more,longing to see his familiar smirk again.He couldn't do it,yet he smiled gently,bringing a bittersweet end to our final game. Although Alzheimer's stole my Papa's intellectual mind,it was not capable of robbing us of the beautiful moments we had.Ending in a draw,we both won the final game. 24.What is Papa's teaching principle?

D.Family love remains unchanged through life changes. 高二5月月考英语试卷第3页共8页 C At a recovery center in Beijing,a 76-year-old man who once relied on a caregiver can now walk independently with the help of a robotic exoskeleton (that learns his movement patterns.Such technologies,once considered science fiction,are becoming more common as China responds to the needs of its fast-aging population. The eldercare robot industry is expanding quickly.Provinces such as Beijing and Jiangsu have released political plans encouraging the adoption of intelligent robots in institutions and households China has also led the creation of an international technical standard for eldercare robots,setting requirements for design and safety.Moreover,with over 310 million Chinese aged 60 or above, many seniors need support with mobility,daily activities,or emotional companionship.Robotics companies report increased inquiries as families search for reliable solutions for aging relatives. While eldercare robots are still in the early stages of development compared to industrial robots,some users are already beginning to enjoy the convenience these technologies provide. Nursing homes in tech-centered cities like Shenzhen integrate robots that play chess with residents, provide mobility support,and deliver AI-assisted therapy. Experts say eldercare robots still face multiple obstacles before they can be applied on a large scale.On the consumer side,some seniors remain doubtful."Robots are too cold and emotionless.I just can't accept them,"said Qu Suling,a 66-year-old resident."If a machine breaks down,it could hurt me,"she added.Another major barrier is access to real-world data needed to improve algorithms (and the user experience.To improve algorithms and user experiences,companies need large volumes of real-world training data,according to Ji Junjie,an algorithm specialist."We have limited opportunities to enter seniors'homes or eldercare facilities,"Ji said.The high prices of many eldercare robots represent another significant barrier,as they are well beyond the reach of most households. Experts argue that breakthroughs in core technology,affordability,and data access are essential for eldercare robots to realize their potential.As China advances AI and robotics,these innovations may significantly support healthy aging and improve life for millions ofolder adults 28.What drives the rapid development of eldercare robots in China? A.A decline in traditional medical services.B.Joint efforts made by many provinces. C.Financial investment in eldercare centers.D.Policy support and rising demand. 29.Which is a barrier to the large-scale application of eldercare robots? A.There is insufficient real-world training data. B.The pricing of eldercare robots is unreasonable C.Eldercare robots have limited practical functions. D.Robotics companies lack professional research experience 30.What can be inferred about the future of eldercare robots? A.They can greatly improve the lives of older adults B.Their development will speed up as prices decrease. C.They may be more popular with younger population. D.They will replace human caregivers in the long term 31.Which is a suitable title for the text? A.High-Technology is Used in Medical Care B.The Elderly Assess the Use of Eldercare Robots C.Eldercare Robots expand with aging population D.The Elderly Benefit from Eldercare Robots Industry 高二5月月考英语试卷第4页共8页 D The anchoring effect,a common mental tendency rooted in the study of how people make economic choices,refers to how people overly depend on the first piece of information,which is called the"anchor ()"when making later judgments.This simple thinking strategy affects pricing negotiations,risk assessments,and even moral evaluations.For instance,jurors (asked to consider a 30-year prison sentence before discussion often settle closer to this figure,while those given a 10-year reference tend to suggest much shorter punishments. The Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman threw light on this tendency via his "wheel of fortune"experiment.In the experiment,participants spun a wheel that was secretly set to stop at either 10 or 65.After spinning,they were asked to estimate the percentage of African nations in the UN.Interestingly,those who saw the wheel stop at 10 guessed around 25%,while those seeing 65 guessed about 45%.Even when people know the anchor is random,this unreasonable reliance still persists. The anchoring effect works in two main ways:the process of adjusting one's thoughts step by step and the influence of early information on later thinking.When people try to guess a number, they often start with the anchor and then change their answer only a little-never enough to get away from the anchor's influence.This fact becomes apparent in the field of marketing:labels marked with first prices serve as high anchors,which cause consumers to perceive the value of discounts as higher than their actual worth. Neurological studies find that anchoring stimulates the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层)and the amygdala.This double activation explains why anchors influence both reasonable and emotional decisions. Yet the tendency has moral issues:lawyers demanding harsher initial sentences often secure longer sentences,while real estate agents controlling listing prices can artificially push up market values.To reduce it,people can set clear evaluation criteria and think carefully without focusing on original anchors,helping them make fairer,more reasonable choices. 32.Which case best shows the anchoring effect? A.A fan loves an actor and all his works. B.A student picks a book with an appealing cover. C.A buyer offers f600 when the seller asks for f800. D.A shopper buys a cheap scarf next to a luxury coat 33.Why do sellers display original price labels next to product prices? A.To attract buyers with product popularity. B.To prove the original price is reasonably set. C.To show quality matches its high original price. D.To make shoppers overrate actual discount benefits. 高二5月月考英语试卷第5页共8页 34.The author mentions "the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala"to show A.Brain adjustment can control the anchoring effect. B.The anchoring effect is an inborn mental tendency. C.Brain research matters for studying mental activities D.The effect influences both rational and emotional decisions. 35.What advice does the author offer to lessen the anchoring effect? A.Judge things based on fixed objective standards B.Follow expert opinions instead of thinking alone C.Leave aside moral concemns while making decisions. D.Compare different prices and choose the cheapest one 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） We use our imagination in many ways.Novelists rely on it to dream up plots,characters and scenes.Artists use it to produce new works.36 For adults,however,one of the most common uses of imagination is counterfactual thinking. Do you often find yourself lost in deep thoughts about what could have been?Imagining altematives,different outcomes and reflecting on your choices?If so,then you've engaged in the cognitive process called counterfactual thinking,a psychological exercise that enables us to imagine "what if'situations and explore how different choices or circumstances might lead to different results.37 Following it,we can see how things would have been if something else had been changed. Counterfactual thinking can be a powerful tool for behavior regulation.For example,Sam applied for a job but wasn't given an opportunity.In this case,he thought "If I had prepared more thoroughly,could I have impressed the interviewer enough for him to hire me?"Sam might understand some of the factors that contributed to his job application outcome and do better next time.38 By imagining alternative scenarios (and reflecting on our actions,we can identify mistakes,learn from them,and adjust our behavior for the future. 39 When taken to extremes,counterfactual thinking can lead to endless regret.We've all been there-lying awake at night,replaying embarrassing moments or missed opportunities, torturing ourselves with "what ifs".This kind of excessive counterfactual thinking can be a typical feature of overthinking,and it can have serious negative impacts on our mental health and well-being.40 This way,we can use it constructively without falling into an unproductive thought cycle. A.It is like rewriting history mentally. B.Considering the "what if'question clearly offers benefits C.Yet letting your imagination run wild isn't always productive. D.Children entertain themselves by creating fantastical worlds in their minds. E.However,it can sometimes lead us to get lost in our counterfactual thinking F.The process of thinking will make us think about problems and improve creativity. G.We should find a balance between learning from the past and accepting what cannot be undone 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） 高二5月月考英语试卷第6页共8页 As a writer,I miss rejection letters very much.Not that I enjoyed receiving those letters,but that at least when I got one,I was pretty sure a flesh-and-blood 41 had put it in the envelope. And there was always the chance that I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom,42 my work almost made it.When an editor at McCall's wrote,"I'm afraid I have to say no on this 43 work,but try me again on another,would you?"It was almost as thrilling to me as if the editor had said,"We'll 44 it and here is an advance for you." Nowadays,rejection letters seem to have 45 with the use of online submissions.Most editors don't feel it a must to 46 they have received,read,or considered your work because they receive so many 47 each day. For me,there are three 48 when I am faced with a rejection letter.The first is 49 caused by finding a flat "no"on a 50 piece of paper,then anger:how could they 51 a piece that is obviously so much 52 than most of the stuff they print?And,finally,rebirth:I will live to 53 a new piece another day. Learning to 54 rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer.While I have received many letters of acceptance,my collection of"Treasured Rejection Letters"is far 55 than that of "Treasured Acceptances Letters",which reminds me of the fact:I still have some growing up to do. 41.A.writer B.reader C.editor D.mailman 42.A.indicating B.demanding C.suspecting D.arguing 43.A.boring B.novel C.particular D.lengthy 44.A.reject B.buy C.check D.substitute 45.A.mattered B.arisen C.returned D.disappeared 46.A.promise B.determine C.explain D.acknowledge 47.A.proposals B.drafts C.instructions D.contributions 48.A.meanings B.wonders C.stages D.rewards 49.A.relief B.frustration C.curiosity D.hesitation 50.A.valueless B.plain C.expensive D.shiny 51.A.turn down B.put away C.make up D.insist on 52.A.easier B.shorter C.better D.longer 53.A.submit B.revise C.download D.print 54.A.judge B.criticize C.accept D.evaluate 55.A.fatter B.thinner C.older D.newer 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 "Becoming Chinese",a viral trend,has taken hold on social media platforms.Unlike past crazes for foreign symbols,this trend mirors people's sincere commitment 56 traditional lifestyles.It is the profound cultural charm that makes people willing to adopt lifestyle habits 57 (root)in traditional Chinese wisdom,which reflects a deeper,more participatory engagement with Chinese culture.

"I bet no one in class can take photos like you,"Emma's tone softened when she noticed Jane frowned."But you look down.What's wrong?"Letting out a long sigh,Jane explained that she was anxious about Mrs.Marshall's presentation task. Mrs.Marshall,their English teacher,was popular yet strict.Every student was required to give a five-minute speech to earn course credits.But to Jane,public speaking was a total nightmare ()Just thinking about standing on stage made her freeze.She got nervous even raising her hand in class,let alone speaking to a full room.Worse still,she felt she had nothing interesting or meaningful to share. Resting her head in her hands,Jane whispered in frustration that she had only two days left and still had no clue where to start.Concerned,Emma suggested she turn to Mrs.Marshall for advice. The next day,Jane went to Mrs.Marshall's office and talked about her worries.After listening patiently,Mrs.Marshall patted (her shoulder gently."Jane,it's perfectly normal to feel nervous,"she said,leaning in slightly."You don't have to prepare anything fancy.Just be brave and share what you love.Good things come when you try your best."She nodded quietly,thanked her teacher,and walked out of the office with a lighter step.On her way home,Mrs.Marshall's words kept going through her head. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly,an idea occurred to Jane. The next morning,Jane brought her photos to school. 高二5月月考英语试卷第8页共8页
