B Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 24. What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author? A. Learning to be a good firefighter. B. Deciding what to do in the future. C. Dealing with the brother’s relationship. D. Developing the mindset of helping others. 25. What do we know about the homeless man? A. He was grateful for the author’s kindness. B. He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in. C. He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach. D. He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first. 26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake? A. To think back to his own birthday at a young age. B. To explain the reason for the values he holds onto. C. To show the similar experience of the homeless man. D. To tell the difference between him and the homeless man. 27. Which of the following words can best describe the writer? A. Caring and humorous. B. Selfless and determined. C. Kind-hearted and thoughtful. D. Considerate and Hard-working. C When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that your mind should wander (走神) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel around the world. What if there is a way that you can travel around the world without having to pay any money? A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service? Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter (住处) and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador. In English-speaking countries, trading off services and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick. However, in farther areas where there isn’t an English- speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything, the locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker. You can do it too! Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick. Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort. 28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To describe students in class. C. To give an example for the text. D. To show people’s state of mind. 29. What does the underlined phrase “trade off” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Join. B. Exchange. C. Stop. D. Improve. 30. In the locals’ opinion, what is the key to travelers in non-English-speaking countries? A. The skills. B. The confidence to succeed. C. The bravery to travel. D. The effort to speak the local language. 31. What do we know about Shantanu Starick? A. His job is only traveling around the world. B. He is too poor to afford the travels. C. He has a skill to travel without paying much money. D. He doesn’t hear of other languages except English. D Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99% of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change. Floridian sea turtles for the past four years have been facing the hottest summers in Florida state history. Bette Zirkelback, a manager of the Turtle Hospital within the Florida Keys, noted that, “Scientists, who are studying sea turtle hatching (孵化), have found no male sea turtles and only female sea turtles for the past four years.” This surprising trend shows how climate change is affecting the species and how animals struggle to adapt to these unnatural changes. Commonly, sex is determined before birth, but in sea turtles, something unique happens. When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female. Melissa Rosales Rodriguez, a sea turtle keeper at the Miami Zoo Turtle Hospital, expressed her concerns saying, “In the years to come, we’re going to see an obvious drop in their population because we just don’t have the genetic diversity (基因多样性). We don’t have the male-to-female rate needed in order to be able to have enough sea turtle babies.” Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles. 32. What is the major threat to sea turtles? A. Habitat loss. B. Human activities. C. Climate change. D. Water pollution. 33. What can be inferred about sea turtles from Paragraph 3? A. They have a fixed male-to-female rate. B. They require high temperatures to hatch. C. Their eggs are laid on the beach surface. D. Their sex is affected by sand temperature. 34. What does the author suggest for sea turtles? A. Establishing preservation sites globally. B. Improving the success rate of hatching. C. Fixing the sand temperature to a fit level. D. Protecting the eggs from their enemies. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ways to Ensure the Future of Sea Turtles B. The Drop of Female Sea Turtle Populations C. Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female? D. How Climate Change Is Killing Sea Turtles? 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People today are living a good life.

Tomorrow was her best friend Kathryn’s birthday, and Rita had no suitable dress for the celebration. Her family had fallen on hard times since the closure of her father’s company, leaving them unable to afford new clothes. Deciding not to let this dampen her spirits, Rita chose an old dress that once held a special place in her heart. As it was now too short, she hoped to have it altered (修改). With determination, she carried the dress to a local tailor, only to be met with disappointment as the tailor explained that he could not take on any more alteration work due to an increasing number of orders. Holding the paper bag with her old dress inside, Rita felt a wave of uncertainty. “What am I to do?” she wondered. Just then, her attention was drawn to a lady exiting a car and heading toward the bank. As the lady hurriedly searched for some papers in her purse, her wallet slipped out unnoticed. Without hesitation, Rita rushed to pick up the wallet and waited patiently on the steps outside the bank, despite the crowd and the time passing. Finally, the lady emerged from the bank. When Rita returned the wallet, the lady was overwhelmed with gratitude. The lady checked the contents and found everything was placed as they had been. She noticed the girl’s face was covered with sadness. “What’s wrong with you, honey?” the lady asked. Rita told the lady that she was invited to her friend’s birthday party but she had no suitable dress and the local tailor refused to alter her old dress for the party. 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。 The lady happened to be the owner of a clothing store that sewed clothes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Rita saw the altered dress, her eyes flew wide open. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上期嘉禾六中高一年级第一次阶段监测 英语 注意事项: 1.本试卷分四部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题启用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本试卷命题范围：B1U1-B2U3 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项回答问题。听每段对话前，你都有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does Bill want to be when he grows up?

As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 24. What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author? A. Learning to be a good firefighter. B. Deciding what to do in the future. C. Dealing with the brother’s relationship. D. Developing the mindset of helping others. 25. What do we know about the homeless man? A. He was grateful for the author’s kindness. B. He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in. C. He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach. D. He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first. 26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake? A. To think back to his own birthday at a young age. B. To explain the reason for the values he holds onto. C. To show the similar experience of the homeless man. D. To tell the difference between him and the homeless man. 27. Which of the following words can best describe the writer? A. Caring and humorous. B. Selfless and determined. C. Kind-hearted and thoughtful. D. Considerate and Hard-working. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在街上遇到一个无家可归的人，他不仅给了他食物，还让他感受到了尊重和关爱。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children.

To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. (我知道我们每天都能看到这些人要钱，但你必须亲眼看到他脸上的表情。对我来说，这让我想起了我小时候，我妈妈在我生日那天给我带来了一个大生日蛋糕，里面有很多糖果，体验了一顿大餐。)”中，作者先提到流浪汉得到帮助后吃惊的表情，接着讲述自己小时候收到一个大大的生日蛋糕时的惊喜。由此推知，作者提到生日蛋糕是为了说明他和流浪汉有相似的经历，表达出作者与流浪汉的共情。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。结合最后一段“I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.(我经常想起这个故事，因为对我来说，这不仅仅是通过给他们吃的来帮助别人，而是给予他作为一个人的尊重，让他对自己感觉良好，这是非常有益的。)”通读全文可知，文章讲述作者在街上遇到一个无家可归的人，他不仅给了他食物，还让他感受到了尊重和关爱。由此可推知，作者是一个善良体贴的人。故选C项。 C When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that your mind should wander (走神) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel around the world. What if there is a way that you can travel around the world without having to pay any money? A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service? Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter (住处) and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador. In English-speaking countries, trading off services and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick. However, in farther areas where there isn’t an English- speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything, the locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker. You can do it too! Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick. Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort. 28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To describe students in class. C. To give an example for the text. D. To show people’s state of mind. 29. What does the underlined phrase “trade off” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Join. B. Exchange. C. Stop. D. Improve. 30. In the locals’ opinion, what is the key to travelers in non-English-speaking countries? A. The skills. B. The confidence to succeed. C. The bravery to travel. D. The effort to speak the local language. 31. What do we know about Shantanu Starick? A. His job is only traveling around the world. B. He is too poor to afford the travels. C. He has a skill to travel without paying much money. D. He doesn’t hear of other languages except English. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Shantanu Starick在旅行过程中通过给人们提供摄影服务实现了旅行不怎么花钱的目标的故事。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel the world．What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money”可知人们想去度假甚至环游世界是很常见的。如果有一种方法可以让你环游世界而无需支付任何费用，那该怎么办？根据第二段可知作者接下来介绍了Shantanu Starick，Shantanu Starick环游了世界但是没有支付任何费用。根据上下文可知第一段就是为了引出文章要讨论的话题，即如何实现不花钱就能旅游。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick”可知，Shantanu Starick做到了不怎么花钱就能周游世界，下文中的“he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food，shelter （住处） and transportation”表明他通过为别人拍照来获取食宿和交通，故可猜测出trade off是“以……作为交换（以求得某种结果）”的意思，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“More than anything，the locals appreciate（欣赏）the effort behind trying to speak their language，even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker”可知，在不说英语的国家，当地人赞赏旅行者学习当地语言所付出的努力，这说明在不说英语的国家，对旅行者来说关键是要努力学着说当地的语言。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food，shelter （住处） and transportation”可知，Shantanu Starick通过为别人拍照来获取旅行的食宿和交通方式，也就是说他有一种不怎么花钱就能去旅行的技能，故选C项。 D Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99% of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change. Floridian sea turtles for the past four years have been facing the hottest summers in Florida state history. Bette Zirkelback, a manager of the Turtle Hospital within the Florida Keys, noted that, “Scientists, who are studying sea turtle hatching (孵化), have found no male sea turtles and only female sea turtles for the past four years.” This surprising trend shows how climate change is affecting the species and how animals struggle to adapt to these unnatural changes. Commonly, sex is determined before birth, but in sea turtles, something unique happens. When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female. Melissa Rosales Rodriguez, a sea turtle keeper at the Miami Zoo Turtle Hospital, expressed her concerns saying, “In the years to come, we’re going to see an obvious drop in their population because we just don’t have the genetic diversity (基因多样性). We don’t have the male-to-female rate needed in order to be able to have enough sea turtle babies.” Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles. 32. What is the major threat to sea turtles? A. Habitat loss. B. Human activities. C. Climate change. D. Water pollution. 33. What can be inferred about sea turtles from Paragraph 3? A. They have a fixed male-to-female rate. B. They require high temperatures to hatch. C. Their eggs are laid on the beach surface. D. Their sex is affected by sand temperature. 34. What does the author suggest for sea turtles? A. Establishing preservation sites globally. B. Improving the success rate of hatching. C. Fixing the sand temperature to a fit level. D. Protecting the eggs from their enemies. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ways to Ensure the Future of Sea Turtles B. The Drop of Female Sea Turtle Populations C. Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female? D. How Climate Change Is Killing Sea Turtles? 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球变暖对海龟宝宝的影响，导致99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性，并介绍了这一现象的原因及可能带来的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99%of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change. (全球变暖正极大地影响着海龟宝宝——99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性。海龟种群数量一直在明显下降，而气候变化加剧了这一趋势)”可知，海龟面临的主要威胁是气候变化。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female. (当雌性海龟把蛋埋在沙子里时，性别由海滩上沙子的温度决定。这些海龟蛋会孵化大约两个月，它们的性别由大约4度的温差决定。在27.7℃以下孵化的海龟将是雄性。如果海龟在31℃以上孵化，它们将是雌性)”可知，海龟的性别受沙子温度的影响。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles. (因此，在世界各地的海龟孵化场，非常需要海龟保护中心来确保海龟的未来)”可知，作者建议为全球海龟建立保护区。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99%of them are being born female. (全球变暖正极大地影响着海龟宝宝——99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性)”及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了全球变暖导致99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性这一现象，并解释了其原因及可能带来的问题。全文围绕着为什么 99% 的海龟出生为雌性展开，所以“Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female? (为什么99%的海龟都是雌性?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People today are living a good life. They think health is the most important.

Tomorrow was her best friend Kathryn’s birthday, and Rita had no suitable dress for the celebration. Her family had fallen on hard times since the closure of her father’s company, leaving them unable to afford new clothes. Deciding not to let this dampen her spirits, Rita chose an old dress that once held a special place in her heart. As it was now too short, she hoped to have it altered (修改). With determination, she carried the dress to a local tailor, only to be met with disappointment as the tailor explained that he could not take on any more alteration work due to an increasing number of orders. Holding the paper bag with her old dress inside, Rita felt a wave of uncertainty. “What am I to do?” she wondered. Just then, her attention was drawn to a lady exiting a car and heading toward the bank. As the lady hurriedly searched for some papers in her purse, her wallet slipped out unnoticed. Without hesitation, Rita rushed to pick up the wallet and waited patiently on the steps outside the bank, despite the crowd and the time passing. Finally, the lady emerged from the bank. When Rita returned the wallet, the lady was overwhelmed with gratitude. The lady checked the contents and found everything was placed as they had been. She noticed the girl’s face was covered with sadness. “What’s wrong with you, honey?” the lady asked. Rita told the lady that she was invited to her friend’s birthday party but she had no suitable dress and the local tailor refused to alter her old dress for the party. 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。 The lady happened to be the owner of a clothing store that sewed clothes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Rita saw the altered dress, her eyes flew wide open. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The lady happened to be the owner of a clothing store that sewed clothes. Touched by Rita’s honesty and kindness she immediately offered to help. She led Rita into her clothing store, where the air was filled with the scent of fresh fabric and creativity. The lady called in her most skilled tailor and, on Rita’s advice, worked out a plan to transform the old dress. They added delicate lace to the hems, extended the skirts to the right length, and sewed on sparkling diamonds that shone in the light. When Rita saw the altered dress, her eyes flew wide open. This once too short dress was transformed into an elegant outfit complete with delicate lace and vibrant colors. She could hardly believe it was the same one she had almost given up on. The lady smiled at her, handing the dress over. “It’s a gift,” she said softly. “A little kindness goes a long way.” Rita could only nod, her heart swelling with gratitude. Next day, Rita went to Kathryn’s birthday party with her head held high, and the story of the magical dress inspired her with the power of kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了贫穷女孩Rita因没钱买合适的衣服参加朋友生日派对而苦恼，她想修改旧衣服却遭裁缝拒绝，后因归还女士钱包而得到其帮助修改衣服的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这位女士恰好是一家缝纫服装店的店主。”可知，第一段可描写女士被Rita的善良打动，主动邀请她到店里，安排裁缝根据Rita的旧裙子制定修改方案并进行改造。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Rita看到修改后的裙子时，她的眼睛睁得大大的。”可知，第二段可描写Rita看到改造后裙子的惊喜反应，女士将裙子赠予她，以及Rita穿着新裙子参加派对、领悟善良的意义。 2.续写线索：女士被感动——带Rita进店——找裁缝——修改衣服——Rita惊讶——不敢相信——感激女士——参加派对——受到鼓舞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①带领：lead/guide ②制定计划：work out a plan/devise a plan/formulate a plan ③延长：extend/lengthen/prolong 情绪类 ①感动：touched/moved ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】She led Rita into her clothing store, where the air was filled with the scent of fresh fabric and creativity.（使用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】The lady smiled at her, handing the dress over.（使用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Well, what do you want to be when you grow up?
