VII. Guided writing (25’) Dear Teacher, I’m Li Hua, and I’ve been tasked with gathering my classmates’ thoughts on the “Whole Book Reading of Classics” project. Many students feel that the classic novels are too difficult because they contain archaic vocabulary and complex sentence structures that are hard to comprehend. Additionally, they complain that the heavy workload leaves them with insufficient time to read these lengthy books thoroughly. What’s more, a lack of interest is also a concern since some believe classics are dull and disconnected from contemporary life. To tackle these problems, I propose that we offer guided reading sessions where teachers can explain difficult parts, which will make the texts more accessible. Also, we could create a reading schedule that breaks the book into manageable sections, so students can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. I hope these suggestions will be helpful.

It’s about convincing people to see things from your perspective, adopt your ideas or take specific actions. When you’re negotiating a business deal or simply trying to get your point across, persuasion 21 (play) a crucial role. Employers place a great value on employees with persuasion skills 22 they can impact several aspects of job performance. Besides, teamwork and leadership rely heavily on the power of persuasion to get things done. Without persuasion skills, employees may not be as convinced of the importance of an organization’s vision and long-term mission. Effective use of persuasion skills will help get your coworkers about your ideas, 23 (motivate) them to achieve a common goal. In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace, you need to understand how to handle conflicts and reach agreements. Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion, but logic and reasoning are just as important. Before you can get somebody to agree with your goal, 24 they should pursue it is what you should help them understand. Using visual aids 25 can back up your ideas can help illustrate your ideas better. Successful persuasion skills 26 (base) on your ability to have positive interactions and maintain meaningful relationships with people. In order to maintain those relationships, you 27 be able to work in their best interests as well. Your coworkers are 28 (likely) to agree with you when they succeed alongside.

A vast majority of people favour cooperation and teamwork over traditional organizational structures; 30 likes to be told what to do or to be pushed around. Therefore, organizations and leaders should adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessary changes. Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. （24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末） A．day-trippers        B．enthusiasts          C． exploring         D．first-tier        E. guided F. inclusive      G. interacting    H. potential   I. rhyme       J. tailored    K. trending Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely walk through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. Citywalk can be a(n) 31 trip tailor-made for a small group of people organized by a travel agency, or simply a leisurely walk for once or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more 32 experience of the places you visit. That is to say, you are given the freedom to explore endless possibilities. Hashtags (话题标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently 33 across multiple Chinese social media platforms, as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from 34 cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture 35 to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur (创业者) based in Changsha 36 new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to walk in “open-air museums”, an approach for young people to 37 with a city. Xiao Yiyi said her events usually last around half a day. Beijing and Shandong have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help 38 reach more remote districts by public transport and continue on foot. Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its 39 is huge. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offerıng a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that correspond with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides to offer a more 40 , professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. （24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末） “It’s almost a moral duty that museums should be free,” said Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2002, when a ticket to MOMA cost $12. In October MOMA started charging $30, the latest in a series of price 41 involving the Metropolitan Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and so on. Higher energy and labour costs have pushed up ticket prices in Europe, too. Prices have remained 42 only in Asia and the Middle East, where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous. Ticket fees may seem high, particularly in destination cities where tourists are 43 to be discouraged by spending a few more dollars. But whatever museums 44 , it is not covering their operating costs. The Association of Art Museum Directors reported in 2018 that ticket sales accounted on average for just 7% of total 45 at American art museums. Memberships contributed another 7%. The 46 of budgets usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations. European museums are less 47 admissions fees, because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments. All national institutions in Britain offer free admission, as do most state-run museums in China while in America some 30% are free. Some observers have repeated Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging for 48 entirely. 49 price s go against museums’goal of sharing art with a more diverse public. They could also speed up the already steep decline in the share of Americans attending museums and galleries. Declining public interest is a challenge for institutions that rely heavily on public support. Those who choose not to visit a museum today may be the people who 50 government subsidies or refuse to write personal cheques as sponsors in a few years. Those who spend time inside museums’galleries are more likely to grasp their richness and want to 51 their own riches in them. Yet significantly reducing costs may not actually do much to 52   new audiences either. If tickets were free, “people who typically come anyway might come more often. 53 that, you’re not really changing your demographic (观众结构), says an economist who studies pricing in the arts. He 54 museums to the best American university: Harvard could afford to make tuition free for all, but many wealthy students who do not need the gift would be among the biggest beneficiaries(受益者). As museums throughout the West debate what price is right, most are unlikely to conclude the answer is 55 , “moral duty” or not. 41．A．lists B．rises C．controls D．wars 42．A．ascending B．flexible C．awe-inspiring D．stable 43．A．unlikely B．supposed C．dissatisfied D．bound 44．A．promote B．submit C．charge D．exhibit 45．A．attendance B．donation C．operation D．revenue 46．A．motivation B．remainder C．generosity D．mixture 47．A．reliant on B．resistant to C．pessimistic about D．tolerant of 48．A．survival B．budgets C．collections D．admission 49．A．Floating B．Discounted C．Ballooning D．Competitive 50．A．contribute to B．vote against C．count on D．despair of 51．A．invest B．evaluate C．anchor D．assemble 52．A．discourage B．relieve C．attract D．entitle 53．A．With a view to B．Apart from C．Contrary to D．For fear of 54．A．credits B．attaches C．refers D．compares 55．A．zero B．both C．wrong D．above Section B（22’） Directions: Read the following three passages.

There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer. The city has been Mr Harsley’s home since 1948, when, aged ten, he moved there from South Carolina. He took his first photograph ten years later, and became the first black photographer to work for the city’s district attorney’s office. His vivid pictures freeze moments in New York’s evolution from the 1950s to the present. “It could start with the smell of something burning.” he says of his method. “And then you see a family sitting on the steps of a funeral home sadly looking at the firemen going through their routine.” Some of the scenes in the collection were captured from the window of his old apartment in Harlem; they include images of black activists, streets submerged in snow and shots of the Crown Heights riots of 1991. A．D．Coleman, a photography critic, says Mr. Harsley has been able to capture the lives of minority groups by making himself “invisible”. His aim has been to assemble these fragments (片段) into an extended history of the city. Mr. Harsley’s gallery is a time capsule. For decades, it is also a hub for the city’s artistic underworld. In the 1970s New York’s photography scene was flourishing, but exclusive. As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there. 59．How does the author describe Alex Harsley in the first paragraph? A．Undervalued but expert. B．Gifted but exclusive. C．Unknown but devoted. D．Gifted but awkward. 60．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．His pictures show freezing weather in New York from the 1950s to the present. B．His pictures capture the cheerful moments in New York since the 1950s. C．His pictures record some historic occasions of New York over the past decades. D．His pictures illustrate the vivid lives of minority groups in New York over the past decades. 61．Why does Mr. Harsley make himself “invisible”? A．To assemble the minority groups of the city. B．To highlight the lives of minority groups. C．To help promising artists attract more public attention. D．To build connections between the minority groups and himself. 62．How did Mr. Harsley help the other artists? A．He excluded those who looked down upon the unknown artists. B．He set an organization displaying their works. C．He established the connections between up-and-coming artists and famous ones. D．He reduced the rents of the gallery where their photography works were shown. (C) （24-25高二下·上海市静安区·期末） On 21 December 1872, HMS Challenger set off from England on the first global scientific survey of the seas. The four-year, 130,000-kilometre voyage revealed the ocean’s vast scale and its living inhabitants. Now, 150 years later, the Challenger expedition remains a milestone in oceanography (海洋学). Scientists still use its enormous collections to study how the ocean is changing. While much has changed since the Challenger era — from piano wire to sound beams for seabed mapping—some outdated ideas still persist and they urgently need to be left behind. Back then, science was driven not just by curiosity but also by an imperialistic desire to find and secure access to resources. This mindset of exploration going hand in hand with exploitation persists today. We know far more now than we did 150 years ago about the critical role the ocean plays as a support system for all life on Earth. It regulates the climate, generates oxygen, absorbs carbon and contains masses of biodiversity. Meanwhile, industries are seeking to extract more than ever from the ocean, from seabed minerals to the fish that inhabit deep waters. Working closely with scientists not only shows industrialists what is there to exploit, and where, but it can also help justify their activities. With the ocean facing so many threats, this is a critical time for marine science to move beyond the old narrative of exploitation. In its place, we need a new model for seeking to better understand the ocean, to properly protect it and to find fair, right and truly sustainable ways to use the vast blue parts of our planet. Unlike the exploitative mindset of the past, this new model prioritizes understanding and protection over resource extraction. This global scientific cooperative isn’t a single expedition, but combines the efforts of scientists worldwide on numerous research trips over the current decade. A major aim is to go to places scientists haven’t been before, and to use that knowledge to better appreciate how all of society benefits from the ocean. Earth has one ocean, and we all depend on it—not just those who will gain the most commercially. 63．Why is the Challenger expedition mentioned in the passage? A．To compare with deep-sea exploration tools. B．To point out its imperialistic goals. C．To highlight its lasting impact on marine science. D．To criticize its outdated exploration methods. 64．According to the passage, what is a major concern in today’s ocean development? A．The persistence of exploitative mindsets. B．The decline in global scientific cooperation. C．The lack of advanced technology for seabed mapping. D．The overemphasis on protecting biodiversity. 65．What does the underlined phrase “an imperialistic desire” (in paragraph 3) most likely refer to? A．A scientific curiosity about unknown marine life. B．A political strategy to claim oceanic territories. C．A cultural preference for European-led research. D．A drive to discover and control resources for power. 66．What can be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6 of the passage? A．There is a continued reliance on traditional approaches to ocean exploration. B．Ocean research in the future should prioritize conservation and sustainable use. C．Scientists are increasingly supporting the industrial exploitation of ocean resources. D．Resource extraction is justified if it leads to advancements in scientific knowledge. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. （24-25高二下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Exoplanets (外行星): The Hunt Is On Today scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see. D．Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet. E．However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. F．Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. （24-25高二下·上海市徐汇区南洋模范中学·期末） The PowerStride Backpack: Charging Your Devices While You Walk Modern students rely heavily on electronic devices for learning, communication, and research. However, constant charging interrupts study sessions and mobility. The PowerStride Backpack offers an innovative solution: it binds moving energy from walking to generate electricity, turning daily travels into a power source. The backpack’s secret lies in its flexible piezoelectric panels (Turning-Pressure-into-Power panels) integrated (集成) into the shoulder straps and back padding. As the wearer walks, the natural motion compresses these panels, creating small electrical charges. These charges are collected and stored in a lightweight, built-in battery pack. A single hour of walking generates enough energy to charge a smartphone up to 20%, while a full school day can power a tablet or e-reader. The stored energy is accessible via USB ports unnoticeably placed in a side pocket. Beyond convenience, the PowerStride Backpack promotes sustainability and preparedness. Students no longer need to hunt for outlets between classes or carry large power banks. It ensures devices stay charged for note-taking, research, or emergency communication during long school days or commutes. Additionally, it reduces dependency on grid electricity, cutting down electronic waste from disposable batteries. Its durable, weather-resistant design makes it ideal for all seasons. Currently in model testing, the PowerStride Backpack could soon integrate solar panels for hybrid (混杂的) energy generation. Researchers also aim to adapt its technology for other wearable items like jackets or sports gear. For students, it represents more than convenience — it fosters awareness of renewable energy and demonstrates how everyday actions (like walking) can sustainably power our tech-driven lives. The PowerStride Backpack transforms an ordinary activity into a source of clean energy. It exemplifies how creativity in engineering can address real-world challenges, offering students greater independence while promoting environmental responsibility. As technology evolves, inventions like this empower users to literally carry the future on their shoulders. 71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

One, excuse me, i'd like to borrow this book by George orwell, but I can't seem to find IT on the shelf. Is IT checked out? Let me check the system. Yes, IT was borrowed yesterday and is do back in two weeks. Would you like me to put IT on . hold for you? Yes, please. I need IT for my literature . review question, what does the man want to do? Two, I heard . your flying to london for the interview. Have you sorted out the time difference I have? I'll arrive in the morning, and the interview is scheduled for two P, M, local time. That gives me a few hours to rest. Good luck. Just remember to stay calm and be yourself. Question. what do we know about the man? Three, I can't believe how crowded the subway is during rush hour. IT took me an extra thirty minutes to get to work today. Tell me about IT. I've started leaving home at six thirty just to avoid . the chaos that is smart. Maybe I should consider biking to work instead. Question, what do we learn from the conversation? For hi. i'd like to return this sweater. I bought IT yesterday, but when I got home, I noticed a small stain on the color. I'm . terribly sorry about that. Do you have the receipt? We can offer you a full refund or an exchange. An exchange would be great. I go grab the same one in . blue question, what does the woman want to do? Five, you look exhausted. Did you stay up late studying for the math exam? Actually. I finished studying by ten, but then I couldn't fall asleep because I kept thinking . about all the formulas. I know the feeling. Next time, try taking a warm bath before bed. IT helps me relax. Question, what do we know about the woman? Six, so what do . you think of professor Williams is class on modern art? I find his lexi's a bit abstract. I agree. He assumes we have a lot of background knowledge, but the reading materials he assigns are surprisingly helpful. Really, I haven't started them yet. Maybe I should question. what do we learn from the conversation? Seven, i'm thinking of applying for the summer internship at the tech company downtown. The only problem is it's unpaid. That's a tough one. But if you are looking to gain experience in the field, IT might be worth IT for the connections alone. You're right. It's probably a good investment for my future career. Question, what do we learn from the conversation? Eight. i'm so glad we decided to hike this trail. The view from the top is breath taking. IT is. But I didn't expect the path to be this deep. My legs are starting to ache. Let's take a break here and have some water. We're almost there. I promise you. What do we know from the conversation? Nine, did you catch the news this morning? They said the concert next friday has been postponed due to the singer's illness. Oh, no, I was really looking forward to IT. Did they mention when the new . date is not yet? They said ticket holders will receive an email with further instructions. Question, what do we learn from the conversation? Ten, hey, I noticed . you've been practicing the piano a lot lately. Are you preparing for something? Yeah, there's a school talent show. Next month, i've signed up to play a piece by chopin . that's ambitious. I'm sure you'll do great.

Section b directions in section b, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you'll be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper. Which one is the best answer to the question you have heard? Questions eleven through thirteen are based on the following passage. Good morning, everyone. Today, i'd like to share a story that changed the way I think about success. A few years ago, I was determined to win a national speech competition. I practice for months, perfecting every gesture and every pause. When the day came, I delivered what I thought was a flow less performance, but I didn't win. I was devastated. Later, a judge came up to me and said, your speech was technically perfect, but IT lacked hard. You were so focused on impressing us that you forgot to connect with us. That moment was a turning point. I realized the true success isn't about being perfect. It's about being genuine. Since then, i've stopped trying to be the best and started focusing on being real. And ironically, that's when I started achieving more than I ever had before. Thank you. Now listen again. Good morning, everyone. Today, i'd like to share a story that change the way I think about success. A few years ago, I was determined to win a national speech competition. I practiced for months, perfecting every gesture. And every when the day came, I delivered what I thought was a flax performance, but I didn't win. I was devastated. Later, a judge came up to me and said, your speech was technically perfect, but IT lacked hard. You were so focused on impressing us that you forgot to connect with us. That moment was a turning point. I realize that true success isn't about being perfect tits, about being genuine. Since then, i've stopped trying to be the best and started focusing on being real. And ironically, that's when I started achieving more than I ever had before. Thank you. Questions eleven, what is the main idea of the passage? Twelve, why didn't the speaker win the speech competition? Thirteen, what lesson did the speaker learn from the experience? Questions fourteen to sixteen are based on the following passage. In recent years, a growing number of chinese cities have introduced slow traffic systems, which prioritized pedestrians and cyclists over motor vehicles. These systems include dedicated bike lanes, wider sidewalks and traffic coming measures such as reduced speed limits in residential areas. The shift is partly a response to rising concerns about air pollution and urban congestion, but IT also reflects a broader cultural change. More citizens are choosing to walk or cycle not only for environmental reasons, but also for the health benefits and the opportunity to reconnect with their communities. Urban planters argue that such designs make cities more livable by reducing noise and creating safer public spaces. However, chAllenges remain, including the need for Better infrastructure in older districts and the enforcement of traffic rules. Still, the trend toward pedestrian friendly cities is gaining momentum, offering a glimpse of how urban life might evolve in the coming decades. Now listen again.

I did, but my advise read IT and said IT sounded too much like a resum, just a list of achievements. He said, I need to tell a story that shows who I really am . that makes sense. Admissions officers probably read hundreds of essays listing awards and grades. What they really want is to see your personality exactly. So i've been trying to think of a meaningful experience to write about. The problem is, nothing in my life seems extraordinary enough. I don't think IT has to be extraordinary.

Maybe i've been over thinking that I was so focused on trying to impress that I forgot to just be genuine. That's exactly the trap I fell into last year. I wrote my essay five times before I finally decided to write about why I love baking. IT sounds simple, but I actually revealed a lot about my attention to detail and my cultural heritage. I didn't know that. So how did you connect baking to your heritage? My grandmother used to make moon cakes from scratch every mid autumn festival. I wrote about how learning from her taught me patients and the importance of preserving traditions. IT wasn't a grand adventure, but IT was personal. That sounds really sincere. Now i'm starting to think i've been approaching this all wrong. You still have two weeks until the deadline. Why don't you take tonight off, clear your mind, and then tomorrow just start listing small moments that meant something to you? Don't judge them just right. That solid advice. Thanks, Sarah. I was so caught up in the pressure that I forgot the essay is supposed to be about me, not about what I think they want to hear exactly.

It’s about convincing people to see things from your perspective, adopt your ideas or take specific actions. When you’re negotiating a business deal or simply trying to get your point across, persuasion 21 (play) a crucial role. Employers place a great value on employees with persuasion skills 22 they can impact several aspects of job performance.

Effective use of persuasion skills will help get your coworkers about your ideas, 23 (motivate) them to achieve a common goal. In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace, you need to understand how to handle conflicts and reach agreements. Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion, but logic and reasoning are just as important. Before you can get somebody to agree with your goal, 24 they should pursue it is what you should help them understand. Using visual aids 25 can back up your ideas can help illustrate your ideas better. Successful persuasion skills 26 (base) on your ability to have positive interactions and maintain meaningful relationships with people.

Citywalk can be a(n) 31 trip tailor-made for a small group of people organized by a travel agency, or simply a leisurely walk for once or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more 32 experience of the places you visit. That is to say, you are given the freedom to explore endless possibilities. Hashtags (话题标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently 33 across multiple Chinese social media platforms, as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from 34 cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture 35 to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur (创业者) based in Changsha 36 new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to walk in “open-air museums”, an approach for young people to 37 with a city. Xiao Yiyi said her events usually last around half a day. Beijing and Shandong have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help 38 reach more remote districts by public transport and continue on foot. Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its 39 is huge. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offerıng a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that correspond with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides to offer a more 40 , professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands. III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. （24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末） “It’s almost a moral duty that museums should be free,” said Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2002, when a ticket to MOMA cost $12. In October MOMA started charging $30, the latest in a series of price 41 involving the Metropolitan Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and so on. Higher energy and labour costs have pushed up ticket prices in Europe, too. Prices have remained 42 only in Asia and the Middle East, where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous. Ticket fees may seem high, particularly in destination cities where tourists are 43 to be discouraged by spending a few more dollars. But whatever museums 44 , it is not covering their operating costs. The Association of Art Museum Directors reported in 2018 that ticket sales accounted on average for just 7% of total 45 at American art museums. Memberships contributed another 7%. The 46 of budgets usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations. European museums are less 47 admissions fees, because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments. All national institutions in Britain offer free admission, as do most state-run museums in China while in America some 30% are free. Some observers have repeated Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging for 48 entirely. 49 price s go against museums’goal of sharing art with a more diverse public. They could also speed up the already steep decline in the share of Americans attending museums and galleries. Declining public interest is a challenge for institutions that rely heavily on public support. Those who choose not to visit a museum today may be the people who 50 government subsidies or refuse to write personal cheques as sponsors in a few years. Those who spend time inside museums’galleries are more likely to grasp their richness and want to 51 their own riches in them. Yet significantly reducing costs may not actually do much to 52   new audiences either. If tickets were free, “people who typically come anyway might come more often. 53 that, you’re not really changing your demographic (观众结构), says an economist who studies pricing in the arts. He 54 museums to the best American university: Harvard could afford to make tuition free for all, but many wealthy students who do not need the gift would be among the biggest beneficiaries(受益者).

There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer. The city has been Mr Harsley’s home since 1948, when, aged ten, he moved there from South Carolina. He took his first photograph ten years later, and became the first black photographer to work for the city’s district attorney’s office. His vivid pictures freeze moments in New York’s evolution from the 1950s to the present. “It could start with the smell of something burning.” he says of his method. “And then you see a family sitting on the steps of a funeral home sadly looking at the firemen going through their routine.” Some of the scenes in the collection were captured from the window of his old apartment in Harlem; they include images of black activists, streets submerged in snow and shots of the Crown Heights riots of 1991. A．D．Coleman, a photography critic, says Mr. Harsley has been able to capture the lives of minority groups by making himself “invisible”. His aim has been to assemble these fragments (片段) into an extended history of the city. Mr. Harsley’s gallery is a time capsule. For decades, it is also a hub for the city’s artistic underworld. In the 1970s New York’s photography scene was flourishing, but exclusive. As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there. 59．How does the author describe Alex Harsley in the first paragraph? A．Undervalued but expert. B．Gifted but exclusive. C．Unknown but devoted. D．Gifted but awkward. 60．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．His pictures show freezing weather in New York from the 1950s to the present. B．His pictures capture the cheerful moments in New York since the 1950s. C．His pictures record some historic occasions of New York over the past decades. D．His pictures illustrate the vivid lives of minority groups in New York over the past decades. 61．Why does Mr. Harsley make himself “invisible”? A．To assemble the minority groups of the city. B．To highlight the lives of minority groups. C．To help promising artists attract more public attention. D．To build connections between the minority groups and himself. 62．How did Mr. Harsley help the other artists? A．He excluded those who looked down upon the unknown artists. B．He set an organization displaying their works. C．He established the connections between up-and-coming artists and famous ones. D．He reduced the rents of the gallery where their photography works were shown.

The four-year, 130,000-kilometre voyage revealed the ocean’s vast scale and its living inhabitants. Now, 150 years later, the Challenger expedition remains a milestone in oceanography (海洋学). Scientists still use its enormous collections to study how the ocean is changing. While much has changed since the Challenger era — from piano wire to sound beams for seabed mapping—some outdated ideas still persist and they urgently need to be left behind. Back then, science was driven not just by curiosity but also by an imperialistic desire to find and secure access to resources. This mindset of exploration going hand in hand with exploitation persists today. We know far more now than we did 150 years ago about the critical role the ocean plays as a support system for all life on Earth. It regulates the climate, generates oxygen, absorbs carbon and contains masses of biodiversity. Meanwhile, industries are seeking to extract more than ever from the ocean, from seabed minerals to the fish that inhabit deep waters. Working closely with scientists not only shows industrialists what is there to exploit, and where, but it can also help justify their activities. With the ocean facing so many threats, this is a critical time for marine science to move beyond the old narrative of exploitation. In its place, we need a new model for seeking to better understand the ocean, to properly protect it and to find fair, right and truly sustainable ways to use the vast blue parts of our planet. Unlike the exploitative mindset of the past, this new model prioritizes understanding and protection over resource extraction. This global scientific cooperative isn’t a single expedition, but combines the efforts of scientists worldwide on numerous research trips over the current decade. A major aim is to go to places scientists haven’t been before, and to use that knowledge to better appreciate how all of society benefits from the ocean. Earth has one ocean, and we all depend on it—not just those who will gain the most commercially. 63．Why is the Challenger expedition mentioned in the passage? A．To compare with deep-sea exploration tools. B．To point out its imperialistic goals. C．To highlight its lasting impact on marine science. D．To criticize its outdated exploration methods. 64．According to the passage, what is a major concern in today’s ocean development? A．The persistence of exploitative mindsets. B．The decline in global scientific cooperation. C．The lack of advanced technology for seabed mapping. D．The overemphasis on protecting biodiversity. 65．What does the underlined phrase “an imperialistic desire” (in paragraph 3) most likely refer to? A．A scientific curiosity about unknown marine life. B．A political strategy to claim oceanic territories. C．A cultural preference for European-led research. D．A drive to discover and control resources for power. 66．What can be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6 of the passage? A．There is a continued reliance on traditional approaches to ocean exploration. B．Ocean research in the future should prioritize conservation and sustainable use. C．Scientists are increasingly supporting the industrial exploitation of ocean resources. D．Resource extraction is justified if it leads to advancements in scientific knowledge. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. （24-25高二下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Exoplanets (外行星): The Hunt Is On Today scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see. D．Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet. E．However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. F．Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage.

However, constant charging interrupts study sessions and mobility. The PowerStride Backpack offers an innovative solution: it binds moving energy from walking to generate electricity, turning daily travels into a power source. The backpack’s secret lies in its flexible piezoelectric panels (Turning-Pressure-into-Power panels) integrated (集成) into the shoulder straps and back padding. As the wearer walks, the natural motion compresses these panels, creating small electrical charges. These charges are collected and stored in a lightweight, built-in battery pack. A single hour of walking generates enough energy to charge a smartphone up to 20%, while a full school day can power a tablet or e-reader. The stored energy is accessible via USB ports unnoticeably placed in a side pocket. Beyond convenience, the PowerStride Backpack promotes sustainability and preparedness. Students no longer need to hunt for outlets between classes or carry large power banks. It ensures devices stay charged for note-taking, research, or emergency communication during long school days or commutes. Additionally, it reduces dependency on grid electricity, cutting down electronic waste from disposable batteries. Its durable, weather-resistant design makes it ideal for all seasons. Currently in model testing, the PowerStride Backpack could soon integrate solar panels for hybrid (混杂的) energy generation. Researchers also aim to adapt its technology for other wearable items like jackets or sports gear. For students, it represents more than convenience — it fosters awareness of renewable energy and demonstrates how everyday actions (like walking) can sustainably power our tech-driven lives. The PowerStride Backpack transforms an ordinary activity into a source of clean energy. It exemplifies how creativity in engineering can address real-world challenges, offering students greater independence while promoting environmental responsibility. As technology evolves, inventions like this empower users to literally carry the future on their shoulders. 71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

M: Excuse me, I’d like to borrow this book by George Orwell, but I can’t seem to find it on the shelf. Is it checked out? W: Let me check the system. Yes, it was borrowed yesterday and is due back in two weeks. Would you like me to put it on hold for you? M: Yes, please. I need it for my literature review. Q: What does the man want to do? 2. W: I heard you’re flying to London for the interview. Have you sorted out the time difference? M: I have. I’ll arrive in the morning, and the interview is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time. That gives me a few hours to rest. W: Good luck! Just remember to stay calm and be yourself. Q: What do we know about the man? 3. M: I can’t believe how crowded the subway is during rush hour. It took me an extra 30 minutes to get to work today. W: Tell me about it. I’ve started leaving home at 6:30 just to avoid the chaos. M: That’s smart. Maybe I should consider biking to work instead. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 4. W: Hi, I’d like to return this sweater. I bought it yesterday, but when I got home, I noticed a small stain on the collar. M: I’m terribly sorry about that. Do you have the receipt? We can offer you a full refund or an exchange. W: An exchange would be great. I’ll go grab the same one in blue. Q: What does the woman want to do? 5. M: You look exhausted. Did you stay up late studying for the math exam? W: Actually, I finished studying by 10, but then I couldn’t fall asleep because I kept thinking about all the formulas. M: I know the feeling. Next time, try taking a warm bath before bed. It helps me relax. Q: What do we know about the woman? 6. W: So, what do you think of Professor Williams’s class on modern art? I find his lectures a bit abstract. M: I agree. He assumes we have a lot of background knowledge. But the reading materials he assigns are surprisingly helpful. W: Really? I haven’t started them yet. Maybe I should. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 7. M: I’m thinking of applying for the summer internship at the tech company downtown. The only problem is it’s unpaid. W: That’s a tough one. But if you’re looking to gain experience in the field, it might be worth it for the connections alone. M: You’re right. It’s probably a good investment for my future career. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 8. W: I’m so glad we decided to hike this trail. The view from the top is breathtaking! M: It is, but I didn’t expect the path to be this steep. My legs are starting to ache. W: Let’s take a break here and have some water. We’re almost there, I promise. Q: What do we know from the conversation? 9. M: Did you catch the news this morning? They said the concert next Friday has been postponed due to the singer’s illness. W: Oh no! I was really looking forward to it. Did they mention when the new date is? M: Not yet. They said ticket holders will receive an email with further instructions. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 10. W: Hey, I noticed you’ve been practicing the piano a lot lately. Are you preparing for something? M: Yeah, there’s a school talent show next month. I’ve signed up to play a piece by Chopin. W: That’s ambitious. I’m sure you’ll do great. Just don’t forget to practice in front of an audience beforehand to get over the nerves. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 11‑13题：第一篇短文 Good morning, everyone. Today, I’d like to share a story that changed the way I think about success. A few years ago, I was determined to win a national speech competition. I practiced for months, perfecting every gesture and every pause. When the day came, I delivered what I thought was a flawless performance. But I didn’t win. I was devastated. Later, a judge came up to me and said, “Your speech was technically perfect, but it lacked heart. You were so focused on impressing us that you forgot to connect with us.” That moment was a turning point. I realized that true success isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being genuine. Since then, I’ve stopped trying to be the best and started focusing on being real. And ironically, that’s when I started achieving more than I ever had before. Thank you. Questions 11. What is the main idea of the passage? 12. Why didn’t the speaker win the speech competition? 13. What lesson did the speaker learn from the experience? 14‑16题：第二篇短文 In recent years, a growing number of Chinese cities have introduced “slow traffic systems,” which prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over motor vehicles. These systems include dedicated bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and traffic‑calming measures such as reduced speed limits in residential areas. The shift is partly a response to rising concerns about air pollution and urban congestion, but it also reflects a broader cultural change. More citizens are choosing to walk or cycle, not only for environmental reasons but also for the health benefits and the opportunity to reconnect with their communities. Urban planners argue that such designs make cities more livable by reducing noise and creating safer public spaces. However, challenges remain, including the need for better infrastructure in older districts and the enforcement of traffic rules. Still, the trend toward pedestrian‑friendly cities is gaining momentum, offering a glimpse of how urban life might evolve in the coming decades. Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. Why are Chinese cities building slow traffic systems? 16. What can we infer from the passage? 17‑20题：长对话 W: Hey, Mike. You look a bit stressed. Is everything okay? M: Not really. I’ve been trying to finalize my university application essay for the past three days, but I keep hitting a wall. W: Oh, the personal statement? I thought you finished the first draft last week. M: I did. But my advisor read it and said it sounded too much like a resume—just a list of achievements. She said I need to tell a story that shows who I really am. W: That makes sense. Admissions officers probably read hundreds of essays listing awards and grades. What they really want is to see your personality. M: Exactly. So I’ve been trying to think of a meaningful experience to write about. The problem is, nothing in my life seems extraordinary enough. W: I don’t think it has to be extraordinary. Remember when we volunteered at the community library last summer? You spent an entire afternoon helping that elderly gentleman figure out how to use a tablet. He was so frustrated at first, but you were incredibly patient. M: Yeah, I remember that. He ended up coming back three times that week just to say hi. W: See? That’s a story. It shows patience, empathy, and a willingness to help others. You don’t have to climb Mount Everest to write a good essay. M: You might be right. Maybe I’ve been overthinking it. I was so focused on trying to impress that I forgot to just be genuine. W: That’s exactly the trap I fell into last year. I rewrote my essay five times before I finally decided to write about why I love baking. It sounds simple, but it actually revealed a lot about my attention to detail and my cultural heritage. M: I didn’t know that. So how did you connect baking to your heritage? W: My grandmother used to make mooncakes from scratch every Mid‑Autumn Festival. I wrote about how learning from her taught me patience and the importance of preserving traditions. It wasn’t a grand adventure, but it was personal. M: That sounds really sincere. Now I’m starting to think I’ve been approaching this all wrong. W: You still have two weeks until the deadline. Why don’t you take tonight off, clear your mind, and then tomorrow, just start listing small moments that meant something to you. Don’t judge them—just write. M: That’s solid advice. Thanks, Sarah. I was so caught up in the pressure that I forgot the essay is supposed to be about me, not about what I think they want to hear. W: Exactly. And hey, if you want, I can take a look at your new draft once you’ve got something down. M: I’d really appreciate that. Let me buy you coffee tomorrow as a thank‑you. W: Make it tea and you’ve got a deal. I’ve been trying to cut back on caffeine. M: Deal. Questions 17. What problem is Mike facing? 18. What meaningful experience does Sarah remind Mike of? 19. What do we know about Sarah’s application essay? 20. What advice does Sarah give Mike about his essay? II.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. （24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末） A．day-trippers        B．enthusiasts          C． exploring         D．first-tier        E. guided F. inclusive      G. interacting    H. potential   I. rhyme       J. tailored    K. trending Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely walk through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. Citywalk can be a(n) 31 trip tailor-made for a small group of people organized by a travel agency, or simply a leisurely walk for once or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more 32 experience of the places you visit. That is to say, you are given the freedom to explore endless possibilities. Hashtags (话题标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently 33 across multiple Chinese social media platforms, as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from 34 cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture 35 to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur (创业者) based in Changsha 36 new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to walk in “open-air museums”, an approach for young people to 37 with a city. Xiao Yiyi said her events usually last around half a day. Beijing and Shandong have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help 38 reach more remote districts by public transport and continue on foot. Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its 39 is huge.

Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. （24-25高二下·上海市华东师范大学第二附属中学·期末） “It’s almost a moral duty that museums should be free,” said Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2002, when a ticket to MOMA cost $12. In October MOMA started charging $30, the latest in a series of price 41 involving the Metropolitan Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and so on. Higher energy and labour costs have pushed up ticket prices in Europe, too. Prices have remained 42 only in Asia and the Middle East, where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous. Ticket fees may seem high, particularly in destination cities where tourists are 43 to be discouraged by spending a few more dollars. But whatever museums 44 , it is not covering their operating costs. The Association of Art Museum Directors reported in 2018 that ticket sales accounted on average for just 7% of total 45 at American art museums. Memberships contributed another 7%. The 46 of budgets usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations. European museums are less 47 admissions fees, because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments. All national institutions in Britain offer free admission, as do most state-run museums in China while in America some 30% are free. Some observers have repeated Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging for 48 entirely. 49 price s go against museums’goal of sharing art with a more diverse public. They could also speed up the already steep decline in the share of Americans attending museums and galleries. Declining public interest is a challenge for institutions that rely heavily on public support. Those who choose not to visit a museum today may be the people who 50 government subsidies or refuse to write personal cheques as sponsors in a few years. Those who spend time inside museums’galleries are more likely to grasp their richness and want to 51 their own riches in them. Yet significantly reducing costs may not actually do much to 52   new audiences either. If tickets were free, “people who typically come anyway might come more often. 53 that, you’re not really changing your demographic (观众结构), says an economist who studies pricing in the arts. He 54 museums to the best American university: Harvard could afford to make tuition free for all, but many wealthy students who do not need the gift would be among the biggest beneficiaries(受益者). As museums throughout the West debate what price is right, most are unlikely to conclude the answer is 55 , “moral duty” or not. 41．A．lists B．rises C．controls D．wars 42．A．ascending B．flexible C．awe-inspiring D．stable 43．A．unlikely B．supposed C．dissatisfied D．bound 44．A．promote B．submit C．charge D．exhibit 45．A．attendance B．donation C．operation D．revenue 46．A．motivation B．remainder C．generosity D．mixture 47．A．reliant on B．resistant to C．pessimistic about D．tolerant of 48．A．survival B．budgets C．collections D．admission 49．A．Floating B．Discounted C．Ballooning D．Competitive 50．A．contribute to B．vote against C．count on D．despair of 51．A．invest B．evaluate C．anchor D．assemble 52．A．discourage B．relieve C．attract D．entitle 53．A．With a view to B．Apart from C．Contrary to D．For fear of 54．A．credits B．attaches C．refers D．compares 55．A．zero B．both C．wrong D．above 【答案】41．B 42．D 43．A 44．C 45．D 46．B 47．A 48．D 49．C 50．A 51．A 52．C 53．B 54．D 55．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了博物馆是否应对公众免费开放的问题，以及门票价格对博物馆运营和观众多样性的影响。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在10月，现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）开始收取30美元的门票，这是包括大都会博物馆、旧金山现代艺术博物馆等一系列价格上涨中的最新一次。A. lists清单；B. rises上涨；C. controls控制；D. wars战争。根据上文“MOMA started charging $30”可知，这是价格的上涨，故选B项。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：只有在亚洲和中东，价格一直保持稳定，那里的博物馆较新，国家资助尤其慷慨。A. ascending上升的；B. flexible灵活的；C. awe-inspiring令人敬畏的；D. stable稳定的。根据下文“where museums are younger and state funding is especially generous”可知，这些地区的博物馆较新，国家资助尤其慷慨可推理出这些地区的博物馆的价格保持稳定，故选D项。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：门票费用可能看起来很高，尤其是在旅游目的地城市，游客不太可能因为多花几美元而却步。A. unlikely不太可能的；B. supposed假定的；C. dissatisfied不满意的；D. bound一定的。根据下文“by spending a few more dollars”可知，游客不太可能因为多花几美元就不去，故选A项。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但无论博物馆收取多少费用，都无法覆盖其运营成本。A. promote促进；B. submit提交；C. charge收费；D. exhibit展览。根据下文“it is not covering their operating costs”可知，此处说的是博物馆的收费，故选C项。 45．考查名词词义辨析。句意：2018年，艺术博物馆馆长协会报告称，门票销售平均仅占美国艺术博物馆总收入的7%。A. attendance出席；B. donation捐赠；C. operation操作；D. revenue收入。根据下文“ticket sales accounted on average for just 7%”可知，说的是门票在总收入中的占比，故选D项。 46．考查名词词义辨析。句意：预算的剩余部分通常来自慈善捐赠、赠款和零售业务。A. motivation动机；B. remainder剩余部分；C. generosity慷慨；D. mixture混合。根据下文“usually come from charitable donations, grants and retail operations”可知，此处说的是其余部分的来源，故选B项。 47．考查形容词短语辨析。句意：欧洲博物馆不太依赖门票收入，因为它们通常得到政府的大量补贴。A. reliant on依赖；B. resistant to抵抗；C. pessimistic about对……悲观；D. tolerant of对……宽容。根据下文“because they are often heavily subsidized (补助) by governments”可知，欧洲博物馆不太依赖门票，故选A项。 48．考查名词词义辨析。句意：一些观察人士再次响应洛瑞先生的呼吁，要求博物馆完全停止收取入场费。A. survival生存；B. budgets预算；C. collections收藏；D. admission入场。根据上文“Mr Lowry’s call for museum to stop charging”可知，是停止收取博物馆的入场费，故选D项。 49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不断上涨的价格违背了博物馆与更多不同公众分享艺术的目标。A.

There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer. The city has been Mr Harsley’s home since 1948, when, aged ten, he moved there from South Carolina. He took his first photograph ten years later, and became the first black photographer to work for the city’s district attorney’s office. His vivid pictures freeze moments in New York’s evolution from the 1950s to the present. “It could start with the smell of something burning.” he says of his method. “And then you see a family sitting on the steps of a funeral home sadly looking at the firemen going through their routine.” Some of the scenes in the collection were captured from the window of his old apartment in Harlem; they include images of black activists, streets submerged in snow and shots of the Crown Heights riots of 1991. A．D．Coleman, a photography critic, says Mr. Harsley has been able to capture the lives of minority groups by making himself “invisible”. His aim has been to assemble these fragments (片段) into an extended history of the city. Mr. Harsley’s gallery is a time capsule. For decades, it is also a hub for the city’s artistic underworld. In the 1970s New York’s photography scene was flourishing, but exclusive. As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there. 59．How does the author describe Alex Harsley in the first paragraph? A．Undervalued but expert. B．Gifted but exclusive. C．Unknown but devoted. D．Gifted but awkward. 60．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．His pictures show freezing weather in New York from the 1950s to the present. B．His pictures capture the cheerful moments in New York since the 1950s. C．His pictures record some historic occasions of New York over the past decades. D．His pictures illustrate the vivid lives of minority groups in New York over the past decades. 61．Why does Mr. Harsley make himself “invisible”? A．To assemble the minority groups of the city. B．To highlight the lives of minority groups. C．To help promising artists attract more public attention. D．To build connections between the minority groups and himself. 62．How did Mr. Harsley help the other artists? A．He excluded those who looked down upon the unknown artists. B．He set an organization displaying their works. C．He established the connections between up-and-coming artists and famous ones. D．He reduced the rents of the gallery where their photography works were shown. 【答案】59．A 60．C 61．A 62．C 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的主人公是一位被忽视但才华横溢的摄影师Alex Harsley，主要内容为Alex Harsley的个人经历与他的优秀作品，并且他帮助了很多摄影师获得更好更多的机会去展现自己的能力和作品。 【详解】59．推理判断题。根据第一段“There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer.(这里有穆罕默德·阿里和让·米歇尔·巴斯奎特的肖像，还有亚历克斯·哈斯利60多年来详细拍摄的一系列城市景观，他是一位被忽视但才华横溢的纽约摄影师)”可知，作者认为Alex Harsley是一位被忽视但才华横溢的摄影师。故选A项。 60．句意猜测题。根据画线句子“His vivid pictures freeze moments in New York's evolution from the 1950s to the present.(他生动的照片定格了纽约从20世纪50年代到现在的发展历程)”可知，他的照片记录了纽约近几十年的发展历程。故选C项。 61．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“His aim has been to assemble these fragments (片段) into an extended history of the city.(他的目标是将这些碎片拼凑成这座城市的悠久历史)”可推知，Mr. Harsley把自己变得“不显眼”是为了拼凑这个城市一些小的团体，把零碎的事情聚集在一起。故选A项。 62．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there.(正如哈斯利所说，“许多伟大的艺术家都被扫地出局了”，因为他们之间缺乏联系。帮助人才成为他使命的一部分。1971年，他成立了“小众摄影家”组织，帮助那些崭露头角的艺术家展示自己的作品。两年后，他开了自己的画廊，许多摄影师都在那里举办了他们的第一次展览）”可知，他通过在崭露头角的艺术家和著名艺术家之间建立联系来帮助其他的摄影师。故选C项。 (C) （24-25高二下·上海市静安区·期末） On 21 December 1872, HMS Challenger set off from England on the first global scientific survey of the seas. The four-year, 130,000-kilometre voyage revealed the ocean’s vast scale and its living inhabitants. Now, 150 years later, the Challenger expedition remains a milestone in oceanography (海洋学). Scientists still use its enormous collections to study how the ocean is changing. While much has changed since the Challenger era — from piano wire to sound beams for seabed mapping—some outdated ideas still persist and they urgently need to be left behind. Back then, science was driven not just by curiosity but also by an imperialistic desire to find and secure access to resources. This mindset of exploration going hand in hand with exploitation persists today. We know far more now than we did 150 years ago about the critical role the ocean plays as a support system for all life on Earth. It regulates the climate, generates oxygen, absorbs carbon and contains masses of biodiversity. Meanwhile, industries are seeking to extract more than ever from the ocean, from seabed minerals to the fish that inhabit deep waters. Working closely with scientists not only shows industrialists what is there to exploit, and where, but it can also help justify their activities. With the ocean facing so many threats, this is a critical time for marine science to move beyond the old narrative of exploitation. In its place, we need a new model for seeking to better understand the ocean, to properly protect it and to find fair, right and truly sustainable ways to use the vast blue parts of our planet. Unlike the exploitative mindset of the past, this new model prioritizes understanding and protection over resource extraction. This global scientific cooperative isn’t a single expedition, but combines the efforts of scientists worldwide on numerous research trips over the current decade. A major aim is to go to places scientists haven’t been before, and to use that knowledge to better appreciate how all of society benefits from the ocean. Earth has one ocean, and we all depend on it—not just those who will gain the most commercially. 63．Why is the Challenger expedition mentioned in the passage? A．To compare with deep-sea exploration tools. B．To point out its imperialistic goals. C．To highlight its lasting impact on marine science. D．To criticize its outdated exploration methods. 64．According to the passage, what is a major concern in today’s ocean development? A．The persistence of exploitative mindsets. B．The decline in global scientific cooperation. C．The lack of advanced technology for seabed mapping. D．The overemphasis on protecting biodiversity. 65．What does the underlined phrase “an imperialistic desire” (in paragraph 3) most likely refer to? A．A scientific curiosity about unknown marine life. B．A political strategy to claim oceanic territories. C．A cultural preference for European-led research. D．A drive to discover and control resources for power. 66．What can be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6 of the passage? A．There is a continued reliance on traditional approaches to ocean exploration. B．Ocean research in the future should prioritize conservation and sustainable use. C．Scientists are increasingly supporting the industrial exploitation of ocean resources. D．Resource extraction is justified if it leads to advancements in scientific knowledge. 【答案】63．C 64．A 65．D 66．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“挑战者号”远征对海洋学的深远影响及当下海洋发展需改变利用模式。 63．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Now, 150 years later, the Challenger expedition remains a milestone in oceanography (海洋学). Scientists still use its enormous collections to study how the ocean is changing. (如今，150年过去了，“挑战者号”远征仍然是海洋学的一个里程碑。科学家们仍然利用它庞大的藏品来研究海洋是如何变化的。)”可知，文章提到“挑战者号”远征是为了强调它对海洋科学的持久影响。故选C。 64．细节理解题。根据第三段“Back then, science was driven not just by curiosity but also by an imperialistic desire to find and secure access to resources. This mindset of exploration going hand in hand with exploitation persists today. (那时，科学不仅是由好奇心驱动的，也是由一种帝国主义的欲望驱动的，即寻找和确保获得资源。这种探索与剥削并存的思维模式至今仍然存在。)”以及第四段中“Meanwhile, industries are seeking to extract more than ever from the ocean, from seabed minerals to the fish that inhabit deep waters. Working closely with scientists not only shows industrialists what is there to exploit, and where, but it can also help justify their activities. (与此同时，工业界正试图从海洋中获取比以往任何时候都更多的东西，从海底矿物到栖息在深海的鱼类。与科学家密切合作不仅能让实业家知道有什么可以开发，在哪里开发，还能帮助证明他们的活动是合理的。)”可知，当今海洋发展的一个主要担忧是剥削心态的持续存在。故选A。 65．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Back then, science was driven not just by curiosity but also by an imperialistic desire to find and secure access to resources. This mindset of exploration going hand in hand with exploitation persists today. (那时，科学不仅是由好奇心驱动的，也是由an imperialistic desire驱动的，即寻找和确保获得资源。这种探索与剥削并存的思维模式至今仍然存在。)”可知，an imperialistic desire指的是一种为了权力而发现和控制资源的驱动力。故选D。 66．推理判断题。根据第五段中“With the ocean facing so many threats, this is a critical time for marine science to move beyond the old narrative of exploitation. In its place, we need a new model for seeking to better understand the ocean, to properly protect it and to find fair, right and truly sustainable ways to use the vast blue parts of our planet. (海洋面临着如此多的威胁，现在是海洋科学超越旧的剥削叙事的关键时刻。我们需要一种新的模式，来更好地了解海洋，适当地保护海洋，并找到公平、正确和真正可持续的方式来利用我们星球上广阔的蓝色区域。)”以及第六段“A major aim is to go to places scientists haven’t been before, and to use that knowledge to better appreciate how all of society benefits from the ocean. (一个主要目标是去科学家们从未去过的地方，并利用这些知识来更好地理解整个社会是如何从海洋中受益的。)”可知，从第五段和第六段可以推断出，未来的海洋研究应该优先考虑保护和可持续利用。故选B。 Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully.

For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see.

Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. （24-25高二下·上海市徐汇区南洋模范中学·期末） The PowerStride Backpack: Charging Your Devices While You Walk Modern students rely heavily on electronic devices for learning, communication, and research. However, constant charging interrupts study sessions and mobility. The PowerStride Backpack offers an innovative solution: it binds moving energy from walking to generate electricity, turning daily travels into a power source. The backpack’s secret lies in its flexible piezoelectric panels (Turning-Pressure-into-Power panels) integrated (集成) into the shoulder straps and back padding. As the wearer walks, the natural motion compresses these panels, creating small electrical charges. These charges are collected and stored in a lightweight, built-in battery pack. A single hour of walking generates enough energy to charge a smartphone up to 20%, while a full school day can power a tablet or e-reader. The stored energy is accessible via USB ports unnoticeably placed in a side pocket. Beyond convenience, the PowerStride Backpack promotes sustainability and preparedness. Students no longer need to hunt for outlets between classes or carry large power banks. It ensures devices stay charged for note-taking, research, or emergency communication during long school days or commutes. Additionally, it reduces dependency on grid electricity, cutting down electronic waste from disposable batteries. Its durable, weather-resistant design makes it ideal for all seasons. Currently in model testing, the PowerStride Backpack could soon integrate solar panels for hybrid (混杂的) energy generation. Researchers also aim to adapt its technology for other wearable items like jackets or sports gear. For students, it represents more than convenience — it fosters awareness of renewable energy and demonstrates how everyday actions (like walking) can sustainably power our tech-driven lives. The PowerStride Backpack transforms an ordinary activity into a source of clean energy. It exemplifies how creativity in engineering can address real-world challenges, offering students greater independence while promoting environmental responsibility. As technology evolves, inventions like this empower users to literally carry the future on their shoulders. 71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71.The PowerStride Backpack generates electricity from walking motion, charging devices sustainably.

Many students feel that the classic novels are too difficult because they contain archaic vocabulary and complex sentence structures that are hard to comprehend. Additionally, they complain that the heavy workload leaves them with insufficient time to read these lengthy books thoroughly. What’s more, a lack of interest is also a concern since some believe classics are dull and disconnected from contemporary life. To tackle these problems, I propose that we offer guided reading sessions where teachers can explain difficult parts, which will make the texts more accessible. Also, we could create a reading schedule that breaks the book into manageable sections, so students can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. I hope these suggestions will be helpful.
