How often will the money be given? A. Once in their life. B. Three times a year. C. Twice a month. 20. Where did some people think the money will be according to the talk? A. In savings accounts. B. In computer stores. C. In shopping malls. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: Japanese children may soon have smiles on their faces and money in their pockets. Japan’s government is planning to give $880 to all children under the age of 19. Around 20 million children, from newborns to 18-year-olds, will receive the one-time payment. The new plan is part of an election promise from Japan’s newly-elected Prime Minister. He promised to help “people in need”, such as part-time workers and families with small children. Officials say the money will be given without considering the financial situation of a child’s family. All children in any one family will receive the money. The plan is expected to cost around $17.6 billion. However, many people have doubts about spending so much money when Japan has so much debt. The country’s debt is currently more than twice the size of its economy. Also, some people said most of those who received it would not go out to buy high-cost items, eat in restaurants or take holidays in Japan. It is predicted that much of the money will end up in savings accounts. However, Yuki Ono, a mother of three, welcomed the plan. She said her children would be able to buy new computers. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Must-See Destinations in 2024 Are you ready to explore the world in 2024?

I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year. Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B. J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.” “So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time. This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls. 24. What can we know about George? A. He is a life guide just like me. B. He tries to keep in touch with me. C. He is a physically disabled man. D. He wants an advanced smartphone. 25. Why does the author value George’s calls? A. They provide practical advice B. They help improve his acting skills. C. They keep him updated on family news. D. They offer consistent emotional support. 26. What does the underlined phrase “wrap up” mean in Paragraph 5? A. End up. B. Bring up. C. Show up. D. Pick up. 27. What does the passage intend to tell us? A. Role-play bonds family. B. Family love is unshakable. C. Calls make a difference. D. Disabled people brave all. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了心智障碍的乔治与作者关系亲密，多年来每日通话，以幻想角色互动，表达关爱。作者困境中因这份爱获得力量，视其为珍贵礼物。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year.(这种情况持续了多年，直到大约六年前，他开始将我的电话号码牢记于心。从那以后，每天从早上7点到晚上7点，他都会每天固定给我打一次电话，一年365天，从未间断)”可知，乔治一直努力与作者保持联系。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again.(无论世界发生着何种变化，这些电话对我来说都是可以信赖的。在我最沮丧的时刻——比如痛苦的分手、事业上的挫折——那通电话总会如期而至，让我暂时逃离现实，重新找回童年的快乐和无忧无虑的感觉)”可知，作者重视乔治的来电是因为这些来电提供了持续的情感支持。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“telling me he’ll call back at a specific time(告诉我他会在特定时间给我回电话)”可知，告知回电话的时间是电话结束时候的收尾，故划线词意思是“结束”。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This conversation has been repeated for years.

Add heat. And you have what scientists call a ‘hot drought’ — dry conditions made more intense by the evaporative power of hotter temperatures. A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, Wednesday, finds that hot droughts have become more common and severe across the western U.S. as a result of human-caused climate change. “The frequency of compound warm and dry summers particularly in the last 20 years is unprecedented,” said Karen King, lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. For much of the last 20 years, western North America has been under the control of a huge drought that has strained crop producers, city planners and water managers. Scientists believe it to be the driest period in the region in at least 1,200 years. They reached that determination, in part, by studying the rings of trees collected from thousands of sites across the Western U.S.. Cross-sections or cores of trees, both living and dead, can offer scientists windows into climate conditions of the past. Dark scars can show where fires have burned. Pale rings can indicate insect outbreaks. “Narrow rings mean less water,” said King, a dendrochronologist, who specialized in tree ring dating. “Fatter rings, more water.” Scientists have looked at tree ring widths to understand how much water was in the soil at a given time. King and fellow researchers did something different. They wanted to investigate the density (密度) of individual rings to get a picture of historical temperatures. In hotter years, trees build thick walls to protect their water. By combining that temperature data with another tree-ring-sourced dataset looking at soil moisture (湿度), the researchers showed that today’s hotter temperatures have made the current western huge drought different from its past ones. It also suggests that future droughts will be worsened by higher temperatures, particularly in the Great Plains, home to one of the world’s largest aquifers, and the Colorado River Basin, the source of water for some 40 million people. 28. What led to hot droughts? A. Abundant rainfall. B. Climate change. C. Appropriate temperatures. D. Dry summers. 29. What does the underlined word “strained” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Protected. B. Surprised. C. Stressed. D. Helped. 30. What do the researchers find about hot droughts? A. They will not happen in the future. B. They are affected by those tree rings. C. They are similar in intensity to past droughts. D. They have become more frequent and severe. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To entertain readers with a fictional story. B. To persuade readers to protect environment. C. To inform readers of severity of hot droughts. D. To share personal experiences and reflections. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了热干早的严重性，且强调了未来的热干早将会更重。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, Wednesday, finds that hot droughts have become more common and severe across the western U.S. as a result of human-caused climate change.(周三发表在《科学进展》杂志上的一项新研究发现，由于人为造成的气候变化，炎热的干旱在美国西部变得更加普遍和严重)”可知，气候变化导致了炎热的干旱。故选B。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Scientists believe it to be the driest period in the region in at least 1,200 years.(科学家认为，这是该地区至少1200年来最干旱的时期)”可知，科学家认为，这是该地区至少1200年来最干旱的时期，可知严重的干旱给作物生产者、城市规划者和水资源管理者带来了压力。故划线词意思是“使受压力”故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, Wednesday, finds that hot droughts have become more common and severe across the western U.S. as a result of human-caused climate change.(周三发表在《科学进展》杂志上的一项新研究发现，由于人为造成的气候变化，炎热的干旱在美国西部变得更加普遍和严重)”和最后一段“It also suggests that future droughts will be worsened by higher temperatures, particularly in the Great Plains, home to one of the world’s largest aquifers, and the Colorado River Basin, the source of water for some 40 million people.(报告还表明，未来的干旱将因气温升高而加剧，尤其是在拥有世界上最大含水层之一的大平原地区，以及约4000万人的水源——科罗拉多河流域)”可知，关于炎热的干旱，研究人员发现了它们变得更加频繁和严重。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Take a period of limited rainfall. Add heat. And you have what scientists call a ‘hot drought’ — dry conditions made more intense by the evaporative power of hotter temperatures.(以一段雨量有限的时期为例。增加热量。科学家们称之为“热干旱”——高温的蒸发能力使干旱状况变得更加严重)”结合文章主要介绍了热干早的严重性，且强调了未来的热干早将会更重。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是告知读者炎热干旱的严重性。故选C。 D The Africa Sourcing and Fashion Week held in Ethiopia in November attracted over 5,000 visitors. Though the number is not extremely high, the continent is becoming a new global fashion leader, according to a UNESCO report. Although most African fashion businesses are small and medium-sized enterprises (企业), the report identified a growing number of high-fashion brands concentrated in key markets on the continent. What makes African fashion unique is its authenticity (真实性), according to Kenyan designer Aulga Nato. “If you check most fashion houses elsewhere in the world, they have done so much that they have less creativity in what they are putting out now. Africa, on the other hand, is rich in cloth. We are huge cotton growers, and we are rich in every single way. That’s our fashion,” she explained. Africa is a major producer of raw materials (原材料) for the fashion industry, with 37 out of 54 African countries producing cotton and textile exports from the continent averaging $15.5 billion (about 110.2 billion yuan) a year. The continent also has a huge animal population from which it sources animal skins. However, there’s a huge shortage of chemicals to make the materials needed to treat the leather (皮革) from animals used in the clothing industry. And the continent still faces challenges related to the movement of people. Despite these challenges, African designers are giving their best to their work and leading the world in sustainable fashion and practices. African governments have also taken measures to help designers in achieving their aims. It seems that their efforts have paid off. After checking clothing exhibits at a fashion event, Ghanaian exhibitor Solomon Dodoo noticed that every single cloth is unique and there are no two pieces of cloth that look alike. 32. What makes Africa have an unusual fashion? A. Its increasing tourism. B. Its huge cotton production. C. A report from the UNESCO. D. The authenticity of its fashion. 33. What challenge does African fashion face? A. A great need for animal skins. B. Lack of chemicals for treating leather. C. The development of cotton production. D. Shortage of creativity among designers. 34. Why do African designers overcome challenges successfully? A. They are supported by African governments. B. They abandon unique and sustainable fashion. C. They lead the world in the clothing industry. D. They check clothing exhibits at a fashion event. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. African Fashion is Popular in the World B. African Designers Face Difficulties in Fashion C. African Countries Have Materials for the Fashion Industry D. Africa’s Advantages Promote Its Fashion Industry’s Success 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是非洲的时尚业正在崛起，成为全球的时尚领导者。非洲的时尚业以其独特的真实性和创造力著称，尽管面临着材料和人员流动的挑战。非洲设计师正在领导可持续的时尚实践，并取得了成功。非洲政府也采取了措施来支持设计师们实现其目标。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“What makes African fashion unique is its authenticity (真实性), according to Kenyan designer Aulga Nato. (肯尼亚设计师奥尔加•北约表示，非洲时尚的独特之处在于它的真实性。)”可知，非洲时尚的独特之处在于它的真实性。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, there’s a huge shortage of chemicals to make the materials needed to treat the leather (皮革) from animals used in the clothing industry. And the continent still faces challenges related to the movement of people.( 然而，用于处理服装工业中使用的动物皮革所需材料的化学物质严重短缺。非洲大陆仍然面临着与人口流动有关的挑战。)”可知，非洲时尚界面临的是用于处理服装工业中使用的动物皮革所需材料的化学物质严重短缺的问题。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“African governments have also taken measures to help designers in achieving their aims.(非洲各国政府也采取措施帮助设计师实现他们的目标。)”可知，非洲设计师能成功地克服挑战是因为有非洲各国政府也采取措施帮助设计师实现他们的目标，即他们被非洲政府所支持。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“What makes African fashion unique is its authenticity (真实性), according to Kenyan designer Aulga Nato. (肯尼亚设计师奥尔加•北约表示，非洲时尚的独特之处在于它的真实性。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍的是非洲的时尚业正在崛起，成为全球的时尚领导者。非洲的时尚业之所以成功是因为其以其独特的真实性和创造力著称。D选项“Africa’s Advantages Promote Its Fashion Industry’s Success(非洲的优势促进了时尚产业的成功)”概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选D。 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。 Practical ways to improve your problem solving skills Problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ____36____.

To train creativity, individuals must engage in activities that stimulate their imagination and encourage new perspectives (视角). Have free-flowing brainstorming meetings that allow for the exploration of various ideas without immediate judgment.(解决问题的最佳方式是将结构化分析和跳出常规思维结合起来。为了培养创造力，个人必须参与激发他们想象力和鼓励新观点的活动。举行自由的头脑风暴会议，在不立即做出判断的情况下探索各种想法)”可知，本段的主旨是培养创造力，故本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明培养创造力的其他方法。故C选项“鼓励自己跳出表象思考问题”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Clearly defining the problem statement, its influences and the desired outcomes lays a solid foundation for collaborative efforts.(明确定义问题陈述、其影响和期望的结果为协作工作奠定了坚实的基础)”可知，后文提到了明确定义问题陈述，即本句在总结是要表达好自己。故E选项“有效的沟通始于表达好自己”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据本段内容“Whether it’s data analysis, artificial intelligence or project management software, putting technology into your problem-solving toolbox can simplify processes and offer innovative solutions. By embracing technology as an enabler rather than a replacement for human decision-making, individuals can use the power of innovation to address complex challenges effectively.(无论是数据分析、人工智能还是项目管理软件，将技术放入解决问题的工具箱中可以简化流程并提供创新的解决方案。通过接受技术作为人类决策的推动者而不是替代品，个人可以利用创新的力量有效地应对复杂的挑战)”可知，本段的主旨是使用技术，故本句说明使用技术的原因。故F选项“使用工具和技术确实有助于更好地解决问题”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据本段内容“Mistakes are not failures but help you become better. Each misstep provides an opportunity for reflection, learning and refining one’s approach to challenges. Analyse what went wrong, identify areas for improvement and use this knowledge to inform your future problem-solving efforts. Creating a culture that removes mistakes within a team or organization trains an environment where individuals feel comfortable admitting errors.(错误不是失败，而是帮助你变得更好。每一次失误都提供了一个反思、学习和改进自己应对挑战的机会。分析出了什么问题，找出需要改进的地方，并利用这些知识为你未来解决问题的努力提供信息。在团队或组织中创造一种消除错误的文化，培养一种让个人愿意承认错误的环境)”可知，后文提到了“每一次失误都提供了一个反思、学习和改进自己应对挑战的机会”，即从错误中学习，B选项中mistakes对应后文Mistakes。故B选项“从错误中学习”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The doorbell rang one mid-December evening.

What 58. a 59. it 60. from 61. to improve 62. technological 63. applications 64. increasingly 65. showing 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国制造的人工智能DeepSeek，包括其开发背景、强大功能、成功原因以及在各行业的应用和在国际合作中的角色。 【56题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：它是由一群才华横溢的中国研究人员在2024年开发的，旨在推进人工智能技术。根据时间状语“in 2024”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时；且“It”和“develop”之间是被动关系，即“它被开发”，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为单数，be动词用was。故填was developed。 【57题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：DeepSeek的出众之处在于其强大的功能。此处为主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指物，所以用连接代词what引导，位于句首，首字母大写。故填What。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它可以处理各种各样的任务，从自然语言处理到图像识别。“a wide range of”是固定短语，意为“各种各样的”。故填a。 【59题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：在图像识别方面，它能够以令人印象深刻的准确性识别各种物体。“When it comes to ...”是固定句型，意为“当谈到…… 时”，用于引出一个话题。故填it。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：它得益于中国在人工智能研究方面的持续投入以及该领域丰富的人才储备。“benefit from”是固定短语，意为“得益于，从……中获益”。故填from。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：DeepSeek背后的研究人员做出了大量努力来改进其算法和性能。“make efforts to do sth.”是固定短语，意为“努力做某事”。故填to improve。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们还将最新的技术突破应用于开发过程中。此处应用technology的形容词形式“technological”作定语，修饰名词“breakthroughs”，意为“技术的”。故填technological。 【63题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：此外，DeepSeek在许多行业中找到了各种应用。“application”是可数名词，前面有“various”修饰，所以用复数形式。故填applications。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：DeepSeek在促进人工智能领域的国际合作方面正发挥着越来越重要的作用。它向世界展示了中国人工智能技术的卓越成就，并增强了中国科学界的信心。此处应用副词“increasingly”作状语，修饰形容词“important”，意为“越来越”。故填increasingly。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。句中已有谓语is playing，且无其它连词，所以此处应用show的非谓语动词形式作状语，因show与主语“DeepSeek”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，表示自然而然的结果。故填showing。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 66. 假如你是学生会主席李华，你校将举办校园艺术展（Art Exhibition）。请你用英语写一则书面通知，内容包括： 1．活动目的：丰富校园生活，展示学生才艺 2．展览的时间、地点 3．内容：绘画、书法、摄影、手工作品等 4．欢迎全体师生参观 注意：写作词数应为80个左右，可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Notice To enrich our colorful campus life and offer a wonderful platform to show students’ artistic talents, our school will hold a grand Art Exhibition.

She was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would mumble (嘟哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”. She, however, was academically capable. Therefore, we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever admitted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me. Being in primary six, about to graduate, the school had made it a must for everyone to perform. Due to my sister’s inability to work together with others, she had to do it individually. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so well that if this happened, she would surely embarrass me. Silently I prayed I would not have to watch my sister disgrace herself. It is fine. No one knows she is your sister. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start. The lights dimmed and the curtains parted to reveal the only solo — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to speak out her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” People around me asked. I sat nervously in my seat, wishing I were somewhere else. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的总词数应为120左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Finally my sister started to sing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Guilt (内疚) and shame filled my heart as I listened to my sister’s wonderful singing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Finally my sister started to sing. I was prepared for the worst. She opened her mouth, and I was shocked — she sang effortlessly and melodiously. Her voice rang naturally through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened ever so carefully to the lyrics that she had composed all by herself and wondered — how did I not know that my sister could sing like an angel? Paragraph 2 Guilt (内疚) and shame filled my heart as I listened to my sister’s wonderful singing. I realized that I had been so wrong. She was socially awkward yet so gifted. How could I have doubted my sister’s abilities? She taught me a lesson that I should not judge a person from just one perspective. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, she had never taken it to heart. It was then that I was determined to love her unconditionally and tell everybody that she was my sister. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章主要讲述了作者和姐姐之间的故事。姐姐有一种社交障碍，但在学术上很有能力。有一次在学校演出中，她独自唱歌，让作者震惊地发现她的歌声非常美妙。作者感到内疚和羞愧，意识到自己之前的误解。从那以后，作者决定无条件地爱她并公开承认她是自己的姐姐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后我姐姐开始唱歌”可知，第一段可描写作者的姐姐唱歌时出乎意料的优秀表现，以及作者自己的疑问。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我听着姐姐美妙的歌声时，内疚和羞愧充满了我的心。”可知，第二段可描写作者自己内心的愧疚以及作者最终做出的改变。 2.续写线索： 姐姐开始歌唱——作者感到惊叹——作者感到愧疚——明白道理——接受姐姐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①知道：wonder/want to know ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③出席：attend/be present at 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/astonished ②尴尬的：awkward/embarrassed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, she had never taken it to heart. （运用了由although引导让步状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It was then that I was determined to love her unconditionally and tell everybody that she was my sister.（运用了强调句结构和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 $ 寨圩中学2026年春季学期3月份考试试题 高二英语 时间120分钟，满分150分 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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman asking the man to do?

B My uncle George, a mentally disabled man, enjoys a simple life-no smartphones, no Internet - so communication is limited to in person or old-style phone calls. I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year. Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B. J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.” “So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time. This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls. 24. What can we know about George? A. He is a life guide just like me. B. He tries to keep in touch with me. C. He is a physically disabled man. D. He wants an advanced smartphone. 25. Why does the author value George’s calls? A. They provide practical advice B. They help improve his acting skills. C. They keep him updated on family news. D. They offer consistent emotional support. 26. What does the underlined phrase “wrap up” mean in Paragraph 5? A. End up. B. Bring up. C. Show up. D. Pick up. 27. What does the passage intend to tell us? A. Role-play bonds family. B. Family love is unshakable. C. Calls make a difference. D. Disabled people brave all. C Take a period of limited rainfall. Add heat. And you have what scientists call a ‘hot drought’ — dry conditions made more intense by the evaporative power of hotter temperatures. A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, Wednesday, finds that hot droughts have become more common and severe across the western U.S. as a result of human-caused climate change. “The frequency of compound warm and dry summers particularly in the last 20 years is unprecedented,” said Karen King, lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. For much of the last 20 years, western North America has been under the control of a huge drought that has strained crop producers, city planners and water managers. Scientists believe it to be the driest period in the region in at least 1,200 years. They reached that determination, in part, by studying the rings of trees collected from thousands of sites across the Western U.S.. Cross-sections or cores of trees, both living and dead, can offer scientists windows into climate conditions of the past. Dark scars can show where fires have burned. Pale rings can indicate insect outbreaks. “Narrow rings mean less water,” said King, a dendrochronologist, who specialized in tree ring dating. “Fatter rings, more water.” Scientists have looked at tree ring widths to understand how much water was in the soil at a given time. King and fellow researchers did something different. They wanted to investigate the density (密度) of individual rings to get a picture of historical temperatures. In hotter years, trees build thick walls to protect their water. By combining that temperature data with another tree-ring-sourced dataset looking at soil moisture (湿度), the researchers showed that today’s hotter temperatures have made the current western huge drought different from its past ones. It also suggests that future droughts will be worsened by higher temperatures, particularly in the Great Plains, home to one of the world’s largest aquifers, and the Colorado River Basin, the source of water for some 40 million people. 28. What led to hot droughts? A. Abundant rainfall. B. Climate change. C. Appropriate temperatures. D. Dry summers. 29. What does the underlined word “strained” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Protected. B. Surprised. C. Stressed. D. Helped. 30. What do the researchers find about hot droughts? A. They will not happen in the future. B. They are affected by those tree rings. C. They are similar in intensity to past droughts. D. They have become more frequent and severe. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To entertain readers with a fictional story. B. To persuade readers to protect environment. C. To inform readers of severity of hot droughts. D. To share personal experiences and reflections. D The Africa Sourcing and Fashion Week held in Ethiopia in November attracted over 5,000 visitors. Though the number is not extremely high, the continent is becoming a new global fashion leader, according to a UNESCO report. Although most African fashion businesses are small and medium-sized enterprises (企业), the report identified a growing number of high-fashion brands concentrated in key markets on the continent. What makes African fashion unique is its authenticity (真实性), according to Kenyan designer Aulga Nato. “If you check most fashion houses elsewhere in the world, they have done so much that they have less creativity in what they are putting out now. Africa, on the other hand, is rich in cloth. We are huge cotton growers, and we are rich in every single way. That’s our fashion,” she explained. Africa is a major producer of raw materials (原材料) for the fashion industry, with 37 out of 54 African countries producing cotton and textile exports from the continent averaging $15.5 billion (about 110.2 billion yuan) a year. The continent also has a huge animal population from which it sources animal skins. However, there’s a huge shortage of chemicals to make the materials needed to treat the leather (皮革) from animals used in the clothing industry. And the continent still faces challenges related to the movement of people. Despite these challenges, African designers are giving their best to their work and leading the world in sustainable fashion and practices. African governments have also taken measures to help designers in achieving their aims. It seems that their efforts have paid off. After checking clothing exhibits at a fashion event, Ghanaian exhibitor Solomon Dodoo noticed that every single cloth is unique and there are no two pieces of cloth that look alike. 32. What makes Africa have an unusual fashion? A. Its increasing tourism. B. Its huge cotton production. C. A report from the UNESCO. D. The authenticity of its fashion. 33. What challenge does African fashion face? A. A great need for animal skins. B. Lack of chemicals for treating leather. C. The development of cotton production. D. Shortage of creativity among designers. 34. Why do African designers overcome challenges successfully? A. They are supported by African governments. B. They abandon unique and sustainable fashion. C. They lead the world in the clothing industry. D. They check clothing exhibits at a fashion event. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. African Fashion is Popular in the World B. African Designers Face Difficulties in Fashion C. African Countries Have Materials for the Fashion Industry D. Africa’s Advantages Promote Its Fashion Industry’s Success 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。 Practical ways to improve your problem solving skills Problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ____36____.

She was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would mumble (嘟哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”. She, however, was academically capable. Therefore, we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever admitted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me. Being in primary six, about to graduate, the school had made it a must for everyone to perform. Due to my sister’s inability to work together with others, she had to do it individually. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so well that if this happened, she would surely embarrass me. Silently I prayed I would not have to watch my sister disgrace herself. It is fine. No one knows she is your sister. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start. The lights dimmed and the curtains parted to reveal the only solo — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to speak out her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” People around me asked. I sat nervously in my seat, wishing I were somewhere else. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的总词数应为120左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Finally my sister started to sing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Guilt (内疚) and shame filled my heart as I listened to my sister’s wonderful singing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二英语听力测试即将开始，请高二的同学做好准备。第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Everyone, sleeping.
