Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth. Because of its unique focus, it is blowing up online now. The weekly roster (花名册) in IronBark DogPark features 63 dogs, including working dogs, older dogs, and what they call “playful teenagers”. Dogs receive professional attention, while those special participants also benefit from making friends, getting away from computer screens, and exploring new careers like human handlers and so on. Mcvilly works to help people with mental health challenges feel more connected, supported, and also find real purpose. “Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care,” Mcvilly said excitedly, pointing out that the dogs play an important role in the project. With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support. Like other small business owners with a changemaking calling, she understands that building strong bonds with more like-minded people is the most crucial step. Up to now, Mcvilly has offered job opportunities to young people. For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says. Some participants even stay on to work at Mcvilly’s enterprise. Sage Conway-Keogh, a hard-of-hearing staff member, is now training to be a dog caregiver. “I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares. 24．What makes IronBark DogPark unique? A．Professional dog training services. B．Mental health programs for youth. C．Free medical care for dogs online. D．Career support for special groups. 25．What does the underlined word “sticky” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Vital. B．Secret. C．Demanding. D．Urgent. 26．What is Mcvilly’s plan to advance her project? A．To help more like-minded people. B．To broaden cooperative relations. C．To follow other enterprise models. D．To enhance public health awareness. 27．How has the project helped participants? A．They have landed high-paying jobs. B．They have gained public recognition. C．They have improved their well-being. D．They have learned diverse life skills. C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 28．What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A．Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. B．Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. C．Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D．Wildlife is lovely but harmful. 29．What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf removal? A．Favorable. B．Cautious. C．Opposed. D．Unclear. 30．According to Oliver Pry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A．Carry them away immediately. B．Leave them lying around. C．Send them to the landfill. D．Gather them in certain areas. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Warm the Worms. B．Leave the Leaves. C．Guard the Gardens. D．Balance the Balance. D Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 32．What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A．They have grown in diversity. B．They are mainly from rural areas. C．They have adapted to urban pollution. D．They tend to avoid human contact. 33．Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A．To present a new ecological concept. B．To stress the constant city development. C．To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D．To explain the reduced ecological harm. 34．What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A．Lowered rates of disease spread. B．An improved sense of well-being. C．Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D．Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 35．What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A．A slower pace of urbanization. B．Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C．Advanced biological technologies. D．An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 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。 Art class in high school often gets written off as a fun break, not serious like math or science. Nevertheless, anyone who’s lost himself in painting or designing a poster knows better: art is anything but a time-killer. 36 Art trains you to notice everything. When you’re drawing a park bench, you don’t just draw wood. 37 That careful observation stays with you. Later, when you analyze a poem or spot lab details, you use that same artist’s eye — the ability to see what others miss. Art teaches you to adapt to the unexpected. Imagine you start a watercolor painting of a bright sunset, but suddenly the colors spread into a soft gray sky. Instead of seeing this as a failure, you learn to work with it. Often, that so-called “failure” becomes the most interesting part of your artwork. 38 You learn to adapt rather than give up easily. Art enables you to work with people in practical ways. Have you ever done wall painting with your classmates? You can’t paint whatever you want. 39 Similarly, playing in the school band, you can’t turn up your violin too loud. You have to fit in with the other instruments. That’s real-world teamwork, a lesson no worksheet can truly teach. 40 However, art isn’t getting in the way of learning. It’s the kind of learning that lasts, teaching you to observe, adapt, and work with others — skills that truly matter long after school. A．Some may argue, “No time for art — focus on tests!” B．You take a close look at sunlight on its edges, or small marks left by rain. C．You listen to others’ ideas and work out a common view. D．This is exactly the skill that helps when a test doesn’t go as planned. E．These small details make your drawing look more realistic. F．It shapes how you see the world and who you are. G．It makes you more creative in the watercolor painting. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last year, I was determined to climb the business ladder. I worked 41 , often staying late at the office and giving up weekends to meet deadlines. The 42 of success consumed me, and I prided myself on my 43 . However, as months passed, I began to feel the 44 on my body and mind. Constant headaches, bad appetite and a growing sense of emotional detachment (疏离) from my work became my new normal. I was 45 , and it was affecting my health and productivity. One evening, after yet another long day, I collapsed on my sofa. I was so tired that I couldn’t 46 cook dinner. Staring at the ceiling, I 47 I had become a machine, endlessly working. The next morning, I decided to make a change. I knew I needed to 48 self-care to regain balance in my life. I started 49 . Every morning, I devoted 15 minutes to meditation (冥想), allowing myself to breathe and set intentions for the day. I also reintroduced 50 activities into my routine, like short walks during lunch breaks. Gradually, I noticed a(n) 51 . My energy levels improved, and I felt more 52 both at work and in my personal life. I began setting 53 , saying no to unnecessary tasks, and carving out time for rest. Most importantly, I learned self-care isn’t 54 — it’s essential. Reflecting on my journey, I realized true 55 lies in finding balance and nurturing (滋养) oneself. 41．A．tirelessly B．regularly C．casually D．flexibly 42．A．guarantee B．taste C．secret D．pursuit 43．A．creativity B．leadership C．devotion D．curiosity 44．A．competition B．heat C．impact D．need 45．A．cheering up B．burning out C．calming down D．showing off 46．A．already B．almost C．still D．even 47．A．pretended B．explained C．recognized D．wished 48．A．prioritize B．dismiss C．decline D．promote 49．A．small B．high C．smart D．early 50．A．scientific B．physical C．academic D．commercial 51．A．adjustment B．shift C．truth D．pattern 52．A．reliable B．humble C．responsible D．present 53．A．deadlines B．examples C．ambitions D．boundaries 54．A．satisfactory B．selfish C．straightforward D．subjective 55．A．success B．potential C．love D．friendship 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分：共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（注意：答案请写在答题卡上，写在本卷无效）。 Distant pleasant music floated above the Sydney Opera House stage. Soft light gradually revealed motionless figures at work, as if lifted from the pages of a Ming-dynasty book. Slowly they began to   move. 56 (accompany) by the soft sound of page turning and the gentle flow of water, their graceful 57 (gesture) formed a living picture of labor. This breathtaking opening of the dance drama Tiangong Kaiwu pulled me 58 (instant) into that world of ancient creation. Through expressive movement, the performance 59 (convey) the book’s core message — valuing the skills passed down by countless unknown laborers and the power of practical tools. The beautiful scenes of golden fields and shiny silk made me feel the deep bond between humanity and nature. The most moving moment came 60 Song Yingxing took off his official robe (官袍) and stepped into a “field” formed by the other dancers. All motion stopped; only his figure remained, arms stretched upward, silent yet full of 61 (strong). At that instant, history 62 (it) seemed to hold its breath. As I left the theatre, I overheard a visitor say, “This is beauty that goes 63 borders.” His words deepened my belief: art 64 (root) in a culture’s finest traditions possesses a timeless power to move anyone. This was more than 65 ancient book brought to life — it was a celebration of Chinese wisdom and its spirit of sharing with the world. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66．假定你是李华，校学生会主席。请代表学生会，以Green Campus, Low-carbon Life为题，写一封英文倡议书，呼吁全校师生共建绿色低碳校园。 内容要点： 1. 具体建议（节约用水用电，循环利用物品，建立校园生态角落）； 2. 呼吁行动。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Green Campus, Low-carbon Life Dear teachers and fellow students, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 第二节（满分25分) 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame. During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long. On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, he couldn’t even make a simple bowl — his third attempt of the day had just exploded in the kiln (窑). He wrote on his notebook with precision, “Attempt 3,400g stoneware, 21% water, Collapsed at 4.2cm height.” Maybe the curve (弧线) was just not standard enough, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold, bringing back memories of last year’s science fair — when sleepless nights and silent tears had ended not in praise, but in a crushing headache. Around him, the others were making uneven bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his own hands, still dusted with clay. Ethan forced a smile, turned to the soft clay on his table, and began kneading (揉黏土), ready for a fourth attempt. 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。 Paragraph 1: “Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区）、老校（文化街校区） 2025-2026学年高一下期05月测试（二） 英语答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B C C D A C A D D 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C A B A D C B C D B 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B C C D C B C A C D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B A C B D F B D C A 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 A D C C B D C A A B 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B D D B A 56．Accompanied 57．gestures 58．instantly 59．conveyed 60．when 61．strength 62．itself 63．beyond 64．rooted 65．an 66． Green Campus, Low-carbon Life Dear teachers and fellow students, Nowadays, energy waste and too much garbage are becoming serious around us, so on behalf of Students’ union, I call on all of you to build a green and low-carbon campus. We have some practical suggestions. First, save water and electricity by turning off taps and lights when they are not in use. Second, reuse items like bottles and paper to cut down waste. Third, join in creating ecological corners with green plants around the campus to absorb CO2. Let’s take immediate action and make our campus a more eco-friendly place together!

Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist. His hands worked clumsily at first, but soon the rhythm of kneading and shaping took over, each motion less about control and more about curiosity. Halfway through, Ethan pressed too hard while shaping — the curve wasn’t right, just a little uneven. He glanced at Ms. Alvarez, remembering her gentle voice. Just this once, he decided not to start over. Ms. Alvarez watched him, offering gentle encouragement as the form slowly emerged under his hands, uneven yet whole. With her guidance, Ethan carefully placed his newly formed clay piece into the kiln. “Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.” He stepped back from the warm glow of the kiln, a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him. It wasn’t the old anxiety about perfection, but a quiet curiosity about what might emerge. When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed, Ms. Alvarez came over, pride shining in her eyes. “Beautiful work, Ethan.” Actually, Ethan’s bowl was far from perfect. But it held its shape and was unique. Ethan looked up at Ms. Alvarez, a genuine smile on his lips. Ethan felt a strange lightness, as if the weight of all his checklists had finally lifted. Later, as the class gathered around their finished pieces, Ethan found himself reaching out to steady a classmate’s strange-looking cup. “I think it’s beautiful,” he said, surprising even himself. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。做事追求完美的Ethan常因不完美自责。学校活动中他报名陶艺课，首次课上精心准备却屡试屡败，老师劝他别追求完美，见他人坦然面对失误，他决定再试一次。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“‘忘了让它变得完美吧。’Alvarez女士的话轻轻地落在他身边。”可知，第一段可以描写Alvarez女士鼓励Ethan忘却完美主义，Ethan尝试在无清单的情况下进行陶艺制作，过程中出现失误但决定不重做，而是在Alvarez女士的鼓励下继续完成作品。 ②由第二段句首内容“‘现在，’Alvarez女士微笑着对Ethan说，‘让我们等一下。’”可知，第二段可以描写Ethan将作品放入窑中等待，内心从对完美的焦虑转变为对未知结果的好奇与期待，作品出窑后虽不完美但独特，Ethan感受到前所未有的轻松，并学会欣赏和赞美他人作品。 2.续写线索：Alvarez女士鼓励Ethan忘却完美主义——Ethan尝试无清单制作陶艺——制作过程中出现失误但决定不重做——在Ms. Alvarez鼓励下完成作品并放入窑中——等待作品出窑，Ethan内心充满好奇与期待——作品出窑，虽不完美但独特，Ethan学会欣赏他人作品并表达赞美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①犹豫：hesitate/waver ②按压黏土：let his fingers press into the clay/press his fingers into the clay ③决定：decide/determine 情绪类 ①自豪：pride/self-satisfaction ②使惊讶：surprise/amaze 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist.

Okay, maybe you’re right. 4． 【原文】M: I have a running machine at home. I used to use it but I already got sick of it. W: Exercising at home is hard. You can join a gym or a club. 5． 【原文】M: Could you tell me how to get to Oxford Street please? W: Well, you’re going the wrong way. You need to go straight along here. That’s Riverside road, then turn left at the Silver Balls. And it’s just opposite The Town Hall. 6．~8． 【原文】M: What are you going to do tomorrow, Tina? W: I don’t know. I’ll probably stay in the hotel and relax. M: Why don’t you come to lunch with us at home? W: Oh, thank you. But you have your family. M: Yes, and they want to meet you. We’re going to have roast chicken, our traditional food. W: Sounds good. All right? I’ll come. What time? M: We eat at about one o’clock. So about 12:30 I’ll show you the house. I’ll get my brother to pick you up at the bus stop. W: No, that’s okay. I’ll get a taxi. It takes about 30 minutes. M: All right, then. That’s settled. 9．~11． 【原文】M: A lot of people talk about acting as lying because you're pretending to be someone else. I don’t believe so. W: Oh, no, I cannot think of a worse way to describe acting. Acting is telling the truth under imaginary scenes. M: Um, it is a real process. Have you used technology any differently since making the film? W: Oh my god, yes. I set even clearer lines than I had before between my public and my private lives. I love what it can do and how it brings people together, but used in the wrong way, it’s dangerous. M: Exactly. Um, what do you do to relax when no one’s thinking about you as a movie star or as a role model? What do you like to do? W: I bake. I’m pretty competitive about my banana bread. I don’t think anyone can believe how good it is. It’s really on another level. 12．~13． 【原文】M: Is England the first country to charge for plastic bags? Alice? W: No, other countries started charging a few years ago, and countries around the world, including Bangladesh, South Africa and Italy, have actually forbidden them altogether. But seriously, with the five Pence charge, I’m definitely going to recycle my plastic bags. 14．~17． 【原文】W: Hello, I'm Sarah and welcome to British life from BBC learning English. We are glad that Mr Peter Johnson is with us today. Hi Peter. M: Hi Sarah, whenever you're feeling tired of the city, what do you do? W: Go for a cycle ride? M: No. W: Go for a holiday. M: No, nothing as expensive as that. W: I cannot guess. M: Have you ever been on a picnic? W: Of course I have. I love them when the weather gets warm and the sun is out. One thing that I really enjoy is having a picnic outside in the open M: And that's what we're talking about today. Picnic in nowadays. W: Yes, I did some research and learned that the word picnic comes from the French word pique-nique, meaning a fashionable social activity. M: I think that definition is a bit different to what I imagine a picnic to be. To me, and for many people, a picnic is a simple affair. Plenty of food that's easy to eat, simple and easy is what I want for my picnic. W: But clearly picnicking is taken very, very seriously by higher class people and it can be a big social challenge. M: I just realized that having a picnic is not a simple affair. There are a lot of rules and customs connected to it. 18．~20． 【原文】 Why do we make decisions that our future selves so often regret? Now, I think one of the reasons is that we have a wrong idea about the power of time. Every one of you knows that the rate of change slows over the human life. That the children seem to change by the minute, but parents seem to change by the year. But what is the name of this magical point in life? Is it teenage years? Is it middle age? It turns out for most people, is now wherever now happens to be? So here is a study of change in people’s personal values over time. There are three values: pleasure, success and honesty. Well, we asked thousands of people about how much their values would change in the next 10 years and had changed in the last 10 years. Here’s what we found. Change does slow down as we age. But it doesn’t slow nearly as much as we think. At every age from 18 to 68 people are wrong with how much change they would experience over the next 10 years. Why does this happen? It’s probably because most of us can remember who we were 10 years ago, but we find it hard to imagine who we’re going to be. And then we mistakenly think that because it’s hard to imagine, it’s not likely to happen. Time is a powerful force. For most of us, the present is a magic time. It’s the moment at which we finally become ourselves. Thank you. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Hm, is death on her way here? I . called, but got her voice. Sml, so he must not have turned on her phone.
