The Grinch (2000) This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way. Love Actually (2003) While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching. Home Alone (1990) This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch an 8-year-oldboy beat two grown men. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age. 1. Which film is adapted from a fairy tale? A. The Grinch. B. Home Alone. C. Love Actually. D. Miracle on 34th Street. 2. What is Home Alone mainly about? A. An unsuccessful family vacation. B. A boy protecting his home by himself. C. A terrible suffering of a little boy. D. An 8-year-oldboy’s practical jokes. 3. Why is Miracle on 34th Street so popular? A. Owing to its moving plot. B. Because of its funny story. C. Due to its childish storyline. D. Because of its famous actors and actresses. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了适合与家人一起看的经典圣诞电影。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Grinch (2000)部分中“It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss.(它最初也是苏斯博士写的一本童话书)”可知，电影《圣诞怪杰》（The Grinch）由童话改编而来。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Home Alone (1990)部分中“It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps.(它讲述了一个小男孩凯文的故事，当他的大家庭忘记带他去度假时，他被独自留在家里。当其他家庭成员都不在的时候，窃贼试图抢劫房子，凯文必须设置陷阱来保护他的家)”可知，电影《小鬼当家》（Home Alone）主要讲述了小男孩凯文独自和窃贼斗争，保护他的家的故事。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Miracle on 34th Street (1994)部分中“It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.(它不像《小鬼当家》或《圣诞怪杰》那样有趣，但它非常感人。它讲的是一个人自称是圣诞老人，但除了一个律师和一个小女孩没人相信他)”可知，电影《34街的奇迹》（Miracle on 34th Street）如此受欢迎的原因在于它感人的故事情节。故选A项。 B Two years ago, Johnny Furphy from Melbourne was finishing high school and dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player. Today he’s three games away from winning an NBA championship. Furphy, just at 20, has had a great new player year with the Indiana Pacers as the team tries to win its first championship. After winning the NBA’s Eastern Conference, the Pacers is now locked in a best of seven battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder for basketball’s biggest prize. The Pacers defeated the New York Knicks to obtain the Eastern Conference title in a showdown (最后的决战) that saw Hollywood stars like Ben Stiller, Miles Teller and Timothee Chalamet rush to a packed Madison Square Garden each night to watch the game. Furphy’s family and friends have flown from Melbourne to cheer him on in the remaining games of the season against Oklahoma. The Pacers bested Oklahoma by just one point to win the first game of the finals series but lost game two — both teams now need three more wins to secure the championship. Looking back on his busy year, Furphy said it was hard to choose his favorite highlight but his NBA debut (首秀) was definitely a “pinch me” moment — it didn’t really feel real sometimes. “Generally, it’s been such an incredible year for me, just learning so much,” Furphy said. “My first year as a professional has been a huge learning experience. After the finals, the new star will go on to play in the NBA’s Summer League series but hopes to manage a trip back to Melbourne, where he’s looking forward to spending time with family, friends and his dogs.” 4. What is the Indiana Pacers fighting for? A. A new student player. B. A high school dream. C. A school in Melbourne. D. An NBA championship. 5. Why are Hollywood stars mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell the real challenge for the Pacers. B. To explain Furphy’s choice to play basketball. C. To highlight the influence of the basketball game. D. To show the difficulty of becoming a professional. 6. What do the underlined words “pinch me” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ordinary. B. Frightening. C. Disappointing. D. Unbelievable. 7. What does Furphy want to do after the finals? A. Spend some time in his home city. B. Invite his family and friends to America. C. Introduce his adorable dogs to his teammates. D. Give up the NBA’s Summer League series. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了20岁篮球新星约翰尼·弗菲随印第安纳步行者队冲击NBA总冠军的经历及赛后计划。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Today he’s three games away from winning an NBA championship. Furphy, just at 20, has had a great new player year with the Indiana Pacers as the team tries to win its first championship.(如今，他距离赢得NBA总冠军还有三场比赛。年仅20岁的弗菲在印第安纳步行者队度过了一个出色的新秀年，该队正试图赢得首个总冠军。)”可知，印第安纳步行者队正在为NBA总冠军而战。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Pacers defeated the New York Knicks to obtain the Eastern Conference title in a showdown (最后的决战) that saw Hollywood stars like Ben Stiller, Miles Teller and Timothee Chalamet rush to a packed Madison Square Garden each night to watch the game.(步行者队击败纽约尼克斯队，在决战中夺得东部冠军，本·斯蒂勒、迈尔斯·特勒和蒂莫西·查拉梅等好莱坞明星每晚都涌向人满为患的麦迪逊广场花园观看比赛。)”可知，提到好莱坞明星是为了强调篮球比赛的影响力。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Looking back on his busy year, Furphy said it was hard to choose his favorite highlight but his NBA debut (首秀) was definitely a “pinch me” moment — it didn’t really feel real sometimes.(回顾忙碌的一年，弗菲说很难选出他最喜欢的亮点，但他的NBA首秀绝对是一个“pinch me”的时刻——有时感觉不太真实。)”可知，他的NBA首秀有时感觉不太真实，所以pinch me意思是“难以置信的”。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“After the finals, the new star will go on to play in the NBA’s Summer League series but hopes to manage a trip back to Melbourne, where he’s looking forward to spending time with family, friends and his dogs.(总决赛结束后，这位新星将继续参加NBA夏季联赛系列赛，但他希望能抽出时间回到墨尔本，期待与家人、朋友和他的狗共度时光。)”可知，弗菲想在总决赛结束后在他的家乡城市待一段时间。故选A。 C Raccoons, often called “trash pandas” for searching rubbish bins, are changing as they live closer to humans. A study suggests these masked mammals are even starting to look “cuter,” a result of living near us. Scientists examined nearly 20, 000 photos. They found urban raccoons have a “clear reduction in snout length” compared to rural ones. This physical change is like early domestication in pets, suggesting urban raccoons are becoming more comfortable and less fearful around people, adapting to our world. Raffaela Lesch, a co-author, explained “urban domestication” often begins with human waste. “Trash is really the kickstarter,” she said. “Wherever humans go, there’s trash — and animals love our trash.” This easy food source draws raccoons into human areas, increasing interaction. Living near humans creates strong pressure. Raccoons less aggressive or afraid are more likely to find food, survive, and reproduce. Their genes for calmer behaviors and shorter snouts are passed on. This is consistent with “domestication syndrome,” physical changes like smaller facial bones, seen when animals adapt to humans. These traits are also seen in pets, like dogs from wolves. The study highlights that only animals with “dampened flight responses” — less likely to run away when frightened — thrive in urban settings (successfully grow, develop, and flourish in city environments). This process is a clear example of natural selection. It reminds us that our daily lives and environments can lead to unexpected evolutionary changes in the animal kingdom, showing the complex human-nature relationship. 8. What does urban raccoons’ reduced snout length imply? A. Their sense of smell gets clearer. B. They feel much safer near people. C. They increasingly choose urban life. D. Their hunting abilities grow sharper. 9. Why does Lesch call human trash a “kickstarter”? A. To explain initial species interaction. B. To illustrate raccoons’ feeding habits. C. To warn about environmental damage. D. To emphasize easy access to resources. 10. What helps raccoons succeed in urban areas? A. Their rapid reproductive cycle. B. Their ability to find new homes. C. Their calmer, less fearful nature. D. Their improved sense of hearing. 11. What can we conclude from this study? A. Raccoons are an adaptable species. B. Human presence drives animal evolution. C. Animals will always avoid human contact. D. Urban environments pose risks for wildlife. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究发现城市浣熊因靠近人类生活，出现了“驯化”特征，如吻部变短，体现了人类活动对动物进化的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This physical change is like early domestication in pets, suggesting urban raccoons are becoming more comfortable and less fearful around people, adapting to our world.(这种生理上的变化类似于宠物早期的驯化过程，表明城市中的浣熊在与人类相处时变得越来越自在，不再那么害怕人类，从而适应了我们的生活环境)”可知，城市浣熊吻部变短这一身体变化，暗示它们在人类附近更舒适、更少恐惧，即更有安全感。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Trash is really the kickstarter,” she said. “Wherever humans go, there’s trash — and animals love our trash.” This easy food source draws raccoons into human areas, increasing interaction.(“垃圾简直就是启动器，”她说。“无论人类走到哪里，都会留下垃圾——而动物们却喜欢我们的这些垃圾。”这种容易获取的食物来源将浣熊吸引到了人类活动区域，从而增加了它们与人类的接触机会)”可知，Lesch称人类垃圾为“启动器”，是因为垃圾吸引浣熊进入人类区域，开启了人类与浣熊的物种互动。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Raccoons less aggressive or afraid are more likely to find food, survive, and reproduce.(浣熊若不那么具有攻击性或胆小怕事，就更有可能找到食物、存活下来并繁衍后代)”可知，更温顺、不易恐惧的天性让浣熊更容易找到食物、存活并繁殖，从而在城市中成功生存。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This process is a clear example of natural selection. It reminds us that our daily lives and environments can lead to unexpected evolutionary changes in the animal kingdom, showing the complex human-nature relationship.(这一过程就是自然选择的一个典型例子。它让我们意识到，我们的日常生活和所处的环境能够导致动物界出现意想不到的进化变化，从而展现了人与自然之间错综复杂的关系)”可知，人类生活环境导致浣熊出现进化变化，说明人类的存在推动了动物进化。故选B。 D For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each semester, we’ve asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists. Students’ favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap (重叠). Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence (AI) and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them. Some young people feel that AI-generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the “Top-40” artists. However, AI-generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI-influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open. Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI-generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others? Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending of a TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004? If AI is, indeed, contributing to the transformation of teenagers’ shared listening experiences, then AI playlists are more than a convenient way to discover their next favorites. They are a revolution worth paying attention to. 12. What makes teenagers’ music listening experiences more private? A. The extensive use of electronic devices. B. The easy access to musical instruments. C. The lack of interaction among teenagers. D. The popularization of music education. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning AI-generated playlists? A. Their accessibility. B. Their development. C. Their advantages. D. Their limitations. 14. What challenge may AI-generated playlists present? A. They make identifying oneself impossible. B. They provide less for teens to communicate. C. They result in the decline of network TV. D. They prevent teens choosing similar songs. 15. Why does the author mention Friends in paragraph 5? A. To emphasize its popularity among Americans. B. To explain people’s willingness to accept AI. C. To tell us the predictability of new technology. D. To show the potential social influence of AI. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能生成的播放列表对青少年音乐体验的影响及其潜在的社会影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence (AI) and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them.(的确，如今听音乐是一种非常私人和个人的体验，随着iPod和智能手机的推出，这种体验更是如此。当青少年通过流媒体听音乐时，人工智能和社交媒体平台会联合起来为他们推荐个性化的播放列表)”可知，电子产品的广泛使用使听音乐更加私人化。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Some young people feel that AI-generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the ‘Top-40’ artists. However, AI-generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI-influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open.(一些年轻人认为，人工智能生成的播放列表让他们接触到一些无聊的东西。他们的播放列表中充斥着他们从未听说过的歌曲和艺术家，但它们听起来都很相似。在过去，他们可能没有注意到这种情况。他们的音乐消费被‘前40名’歌手勉强占据。然而，人工智能生成的播放列表改变了这一点，因为有更广泛的音乐可供选择。如果他们认为人工智能影响的播放列表没有吸引力，他们仍然有能力搜索新的音乐。仅仅因为人工智能可以推荐歌曲，这并不妨碍他们自己研究和发现音乐，或者分享播放列表。他们能找到任何存在的东西。这家商店一直营业)”可知，第三段通过比较的方式，主要强调了AI生成式歌单的优点。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI-generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others?(音乐聆听和音乐偏好在年轻人从童年到成年的过渡过程中扮演着重要的角色，这是两个看似对立但至关重要的过程：形成一个独特的身份，同时成为一个社区的一部分。然而，人工智能生成的播放列表有可能挑战这种转变。那么，人工智能是否让我们更容易区分自我，但却更难与他人建立联系？)”可知，AI生成式歌单可能呈现的挑战是让青少年之间的联系更加困难，减少了共同讨论、交流话题的机会。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending of a TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004?(对新技术的恐惧是司空见惯的。例如，定期电视网络的衰落抹去了许多讨论的共同基础，那么5000万美国人还会像2004年看《老友记》那样，收看电视节目的结局吗？)”可知，提及《老友记》是为了展示AI可能造成的社会影响。故选D。 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。 How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.

Coming from a tropical (热带的) country, I ____ the cold in Canada.”可知，作者刚到机场就遭遇了冲击，这些冲击是“正等着他的”，符合文意。故选B。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的第一个冲击不一定是文化上的；而是天气！A. price价格；B. airport机场；C. clothes衣服；D. weather天气。根据下文“Coming from a tropical (热带的) country, I ____ the cold in Canada. I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn’t ____ it to be as extreme as it was.”可知，作者来自热带国家，因此这里指的是加拿大的寒冷天气带来的冲击。故选D。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我来自热带国家，我害怕加拿大的寒冷。A. feared害怕；B. missed想念；C. avoided避免；D. remembered记得。根据上文“Coming from a tropical (热带的) country”和下文“the cold in Canada. I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn’t ____ it to be as extreme as it was”可知，作者知道加拿大会很冷，但没想到会这么冷，因此这里表示作者“害怕”加拿大的寒冷。故选A。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我知道天气会很冷，但没预料到会这么冷。A. allow允许；B. cause引起；C. expect预料，期望；D. require要求。根据上文“I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn’t”以及下文“it to be as extreme as it was”可知，作者知道加拿大会很冷，但对寒冷的程度没有预料到。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我可以说这比我想象的要糟糕三倍。A. worse更糟糕的；B. clearer更清楚的；C. stranger更奇怪的；D. later更晚的。根据上文“I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn’t ____ it to be as extreme as it was. I could say it was three times”可知，作者没想到加拿大的天气会这么冷，因此这里表示实际情况比作者想象的“更糟糕”。故选A。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的第二个文化冲击是直呼我的教授的名字。A. classmates同学；B. friends朋友；C. students学生；D. professors教授。根据上文“My second culture shock was calling my”和下文“In Ghana, we refer to older people or people in ____ as sir or madam and it would sound disrespectful if you ____ them by their first names”可知，此处指的是长辈/有身份的人，结合校园语境，教授符合该范畴，因此这里指的是作者在加拿大直呼“教授”的名字感到震惊。故选D。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在加纳，我们称呼年长的人或有权威的人为先生或女士，如果你直接叫他们的名字，那听起来是不尊重的。A. question问题；B. recovery恢复；C. authority权威；D. history历史。根据上文“older people”以及下文“it would sound disrespectful if you ____ them by their first names”可知，本空与“年长的人”并列，指需要尊敬的人，“in authority”意为“掌权的，有权威的”，符合语境。故选C。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在加纳，我们称呼年长的人或有权威的人为先生或女士，如果你直接叫他们的名字，那听起来是不尊重的。A. called称呼；B. judged判断；C. selected选择；D. separated分开。根据上文“we refer to older people or people in ____ as sir or madam”以及下文“by their first names”可知，这里指的是直呼他们的名字，call符合语境。故选A。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我确实花了一段时间才适应。A. rest休息；B. adjust调整，适应；C. grow生长；D. explain解释。根据上文描述的在加纳和加拿大称呼习惯的不同以及“It did take me a while to”可知，作者在加拿大经历了很多文化冲击，因此这里表示作者花了一段时间才“适应”加拿大的文化习惯。故选B。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：另一个让我震惊的是加拿大人会为你扶着门。A. fix修理；B. paint粉刷；C. design设计；D. hold拿着，扶着。根据下文“the door for you”、“I was shocked when someone held the door open for me”可知，作者对加拿大人会为别人“扶着”门感到震惊。此处为原词复现，hold the door意为“扶门”。故选D。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我进入校园的一栋建筑时，有人从大约30米远的地方为我扶着门，这让我很震惊。A. height高度；B. level水平；C. distance距离；D. depth深度。根据下文“about 30 meters”可知，这里指的是从“距离”上大约30米远的地方。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我不得不快步走到门口，这样那个人就不用等我太久了。A. suddenly突然；B. quickly快速地；C. regularly定期地；D. normally正常地。根据下文“to reach the door, so the person wouldn’t have to wait too long for me”可知，作者不想让那个人等太久，因此“快速地”走过去。故选B。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：所有这些时刻都教会了我一些东西。A. owed欠；B. promised承诺；C. saved拯救；D. taught教。根据下文“The biggest lesson is that culture shocks, as well as other shocks in life, are actually ____ to see the world from a new angle.”可知，这些文化冲击“教会”了作者一些东西。故选D。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：最大的教训是，文化冲击，以及生活中的其他冲击，实际上都是从新的角度看待世界的机会。A. chances机会；B. reasons原因；C. plans计划；D. dreams梦想。根据下文“to see the world from a new angle”可知，文化冲击和生活中的其他冲击都是从新的角度看待世界的“机会”。故选A。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它们一开始可能具有挑战性，但往往最能塑造你。A. annoying烦人的；B. challenging具有挑战性的；C. satisfying令人满意的；D. interesting有趣的。根据上文“My first shock”描述的冲击、“It did take me a while to”、下文“at first, but they often shape you the most”可知，前文作者遭遇冲击时的感受（震惊、难以适应），所以冲击最初是“有挑战性的”，与后文“塑造自己”形成转折。故选B。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chen Ning Yang, one of the most influential theoretical ____36____ (physicist) of the 20th century, made ____37____ (remark) contributions to modern physics.

Yang encouraged young scientists ____44____ (think) independently and hoped they could combine scientific research _____45_____ cultural understanding. Having also made achievements in statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics (凝聚态物理学), such as the Yang Baxter equation (杨—巴克斯特方程) and the Wu-Yang monopole (吴—杨单极子), Yang returned to China after retiring in 1999. He passed away in Beijing in 2025 at the age of 103, leaving a dramatically lasting scientific legacy. 【答案】36. physicists 37. remarkable 38. was raised 39. receiving 40. an 41. won 42. that 43. innovation 44. to think 45. with##and 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了二十世纪顶尖物理学家杨振宁出身书香门第，科研成果卓著，斩获诺奖。他倡导独立思考，深耕多领域，晚年归国，留下影响深远的科学财富。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：杨振宁是二十世纪最具影响力的理论物理学家之一，为现代物理学做出了卓越贡献。“one of +the+形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定结构，意为“最……的……之一”。因此，此处应填physicist的复数形式physicists。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：杨振宁是二十世纪最具影响力的理论物理学家之一，为现代物理学做出了卓越贡献。此处用形容词remarkable修饰名词contributions，意为“非凡的”。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：杨于1922年出生在中国合肥，他成长在一个书香门第，父亲从小就激发了他对科学的热爱。主语Yang与动词raise之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国获得学士学位和硕士学位后，他前往美国，并于1948年在芝加哥大学获得了博士学位。介词“After”后应接名词或动名词形式。动词“receive”与其逻辑主语“he”是主动关系，故应用其动名词形式receiving。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：1956年，杨振宁与李政道提出弱相互作用下宇称不守恒理论，这一成果颠覆了物理学的传统认知。achievement是可数名词单数，且在此处首次提及，表示泛指，其发音以元音音素开头，故应用不定冠词an。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：这一理论后来通过吴健雄的实验得到了证实，从而使他们获得了1957年的诺贝尔物理学奖。主语是The theory，讲述的是过去发生的具体事件(1957年获奖)，故谓语动词应用一般过去时won。 【42题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：人们认为，科学好奇心和独立思考是创新的核心所在。“It is believed that...”是一个固定句型，其中“It”作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句，连接词“that”只起连接作用，无实际词义，且不能省略。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：人们认为，科学好奇心和独立思考是创新的核心所在。根据上文of可知，此处用名词形式innovation，意为“创新”，此处为不可数名词。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：杨鼓励年轻科学家要独立思考，并希望他们能够将科学研究与文化理解相结合。短语encourage sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。 【45题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：杨鼓励年轻科学家要独立思考，并希望他们能够将科学研究与文化理解相结合。动词combine的固定搭配为“combine A with/and B (将A与B结合起来)”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，暑假期间你在伦敦学习时得知当地美术馆要举办中国画展并需要一批学生志愿者，请给该美术馆写封信，内容包括： 1.写信目的； 2.个人优势； 3.期待答复。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Sir/ Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir/Madam, I’m Li Hua.

Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry. We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes. Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit. However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them. Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. Alex kept looking at me with begging eyes. I felt so torn, my mind full of a mix of guilt and longing. The picture of the cool sneakers kept appearing in my head, but so did Mrs. Thompson’s sad expression. After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. We quickly figured out how much money we could give without using up all our savings. With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. When we held out the money to her, her eyes opened wide in shock. We told her it was the least we could do and we hoped she could soon go through the hard time. Her thankfulness was really strong, and she gave us both a big hug. In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers. The experience taught me that real value isn’t in things we own but in the relationships we make and the kindness we show. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者和好友Alex帮助邻居Mrs. Thompson搬家并得知她因存储费用陷入困境。作者在购买心仪运动鞋的渴望与帮助邻居的道德之间挣扎，最终决定与Alex一起拿出积蓄帮助Mrs. Thompson。这次经历让作者明白了帮助他人的快乐远胜于物质享受，体会到真正的价值在于人际关系和善良。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我真的想要那些运动鞋，但我知道Thompson夫人处境艰难。”可知，第一段可描写作者内心对于买运动鞋和帮助Thompson夫人的纠结，以及最终决定帮助Thompson夫人的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们怀着紧张的心情，拿着一些积蓄走向Thompson夫人。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Alex把钱给Thompson夫人后，Thompson夫人的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索： 渴望——困境——挣扎——帮助——感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看：look at/stare at ②度过：go through/get through ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②感激：thankfulness/gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. （句中含有what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers.（句中含有that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 环县一中2025～2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 考生注意： 1．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铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径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．本卷命题范围：北师大版选择性必修第三册Unit7之前&外研版选择性必修第一册Unit 5之前。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1．What does the man want to do this afternoon?

The Grinch (2000) This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way. Love Actually (2003) While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching. Home Alone (1990) This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch an 8-year-oldboy beat two grown men. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age. 1. Which film is adapted from a fairy tale? A. The Grinch. B. Home Alone. C. Love Actually. D. Miracle on 34th Street. 2. What is Home Alone mainly about? A. An unsuccessful family vacation. B. A boy protecting his home by himself. C. A terrible suffering of a little boy. D. An 8-year-oldboy’s practical jokes. 3. Why is Miracle on 34th Street so popular? A. Owing to its moving plot. B. Because of its funny story. C. Due to its childish storyline. D. Because of its famous actors and actresses. B Two years ago, Johnny Furphy from Melbourne was finishing high school and dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player. Today he’s three games away from winning an NBA championship. Furphy, just at 20, has had a great new player year with the Indiana Pacers as the team tries to win its first championship. After winning the NBA’s Eastern Conference, the Pacers is now locked in a best of seven battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder for basketball’s biggest prize. The Pacers defeated the New York Knicks to obtain the Eastern Conference title in a showdown (最后的决战) that saw Hollywood stars like Ben Stiller, Miles Teller and Timothee Chalamet rush to a packed Madison Square Garden each night to watch the game. Furphy’s family and friends have flown from Melbourne to cheer him on in the remaining games of the season against Oklahoma. The Pacers bested Oklahoma by just one point to win the first game of the finals series but lost game two — both teams now need three more wins to secure the championship. Looking back on his busy year, Furphy said it was hard to choose his favorite highlight but his NBA debut (首秀) was definitely a “pinch me” moment — it didn’t really feel real sometimes. “Generally, it’s been such an incredible year for me, just learning so much,” Furphy said. “My first year as a professional has been a huge learning experience. After the finals, the new star will go on to play in the NBA’s Summer League series but hopes to manage a trip back to Melbourne, where he’s looking forward to spending time with family, friends and his dogs.” 4. What is the Indiana Pacers fighting for? A. A new student player. B. A high school dream. C. A school in Melbourne. D. An NBA championship. 5. Why are Hollywood stars mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell the real challenge for the Pacers. B. To explain Furphy’s choice to play basketball. C. To highlight the influence of the basketball game. D. To show the difficulty of becoming a professional. 6. What do the underlined words “pinch me” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ordinary. B. Frightening. C. Disappointing. D. Unbelievable. 7. What does Furphy want to do after the finals? A. Spend some time in his home city. B. Invite his family and friends to America. C. Introduce his adorable dogs to his teammates. D. Give up the NBA’s Summer League series. C Raccoons, often called “trash pandas” for searching rubbish bins, are changing as they live closer to humans. A study suggests these masked mammals are even starting to look “cuter,” a result of living near us. Scientists examined nearly 20, 000 photos. They found urban raccoons have a “clear reduction in snout length” compared to rural ones. This physical change is like early domestication in pets, suggesting urban raccoons are becoming more comfortable and less fearful around people, adapting to our world. Raffaela Lesch, a co-author, explained “urban domestication” often begins with human waste. “Trash is really the kickstarter,” she said. “Wherever humans go, there’s trash — and animals love our trash.” This easy food source draws raccoons into human areas, increasing interaction. Living near humans creates strong pressure. Raccoons less aggressive or afraid are more likely to find food, survive, and reproduce. Their genes for calmer behaviors and shorter snouts are passed on. This is consistent with “domestication syndrome,” physical changes like smaller facial bones, seen when animals adapt to humans. These traits are also seen in pets, like dogs from wolves. The study highlights that only animals with “dampened flight responses” — less likely to run away when frightened — thrive in urban settings (successfully grow, develop, and flourish in city environments). This process is a clear example of natural selection. It reminds us that our daily lives and environments can lead to unexpected evolutionary changes in the animal kingdom, showing the complex human-nature relationship. 8. What does urban raccoons’ reduced snout length imply? A. Their sense of smell gets clearer. B. They feel much safer near people. C. They increasingly choose urban life. D. Their hunting abilities grow sharper. 9. Why does Lesch call human trash a “kickstarter”? A. To explain initial species interaction. B. To illustrate raccoons’ feeding habits. C. To warn about environmental damage. D. To emphasize easy access to resources. 10. What helps raccoons succeed in urban areas? A. Their rapid reproductive cycle. B. Their ability to find new homes. C. Their calmer, less fearful nature. D. Their improved sense of hearing. 11. What can we conclude from this study? A. Raccoons are an adaptable species. B. Human presence drives animal evolution. C. Animals will always avoid human contact. D. Urban environments pose risks for wildlife. D For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each semester, we’ve asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists. Students’ favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap (重叠). Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence (AI) and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them. Some young people feel that AI-generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the “Top-40” artists. However, AI-generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI-influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open. Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI-generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others? Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending of a TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004?

Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry. We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes. Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit. However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them. Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
