I didn’t get many hits at first, but one newspaper wrote something about me and more people started to look at the blog. Then a local TV channel interviewed me for a program. Since then, the blog has developed even faster. So I’m no longer working alone. A photographer agreed to take some shots for the site to better show the clothes. My brother Eden offered to be my model. I also considered hiring a makeup artist. Luckily, Bonnie, my talented friend, helped me. I make sure I include all kinds of clothes to suit a range of tastes for my readers. I try to think about their budgets, too. Most of the clothes I talk about are readily available. As well as showing the latest styles, I also feature classic clothes I’ve found in second-hand shops. Believe it or not, those from the 1920s are the richest sources of ideas for my recent blog posts. Although people enjoyed the clothes from the 1970s most, I also got positive comments about stuff from the 1980s. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Feeling lost choosing a language app?

You make cards for words you want.(实用的数字抽认卡，可自行为需要记忆的单词制作卡片。)”可知，想要积累词汇的学习者最有可能选择Anki。 B In 2009, American composer Eric Whitacre got a wonderful idea. One day at home, he watched a fan’s video that surprised him deeply. A girl named Britlin was singing his composition Sleep alone in her bedroom with a simple web camera. It struck Whitacre that music could bridge the gap between people from different cultures. Thus the Virtual Choir (虚拟合唱团) was started. Whitacre posted a call online, asking people worldwide to record themselves singing the piece Lux Aurumque and send it to him. He had expected about 50 videos, but received 185 from 12 countries. His team spent much time editing the videos, and the final video was uploaded in 2010. It showed many singers on screen performing together from thousands of miles apart and soon went viral. The project grew rapidly. Later, over 2,000 singers from 58 countries submitted videos. A farmer in Nebraska sang alongside a student in Tokyo. Even though they had never met, they created beautiful and touching music together. Yet there were many challenges. Submissions were in different formats and sound quality varied greatly. Some failed to keep the beat, others had background noise. The team spent months producing and matching the videos patiently. Besides technical problems, singing alone in front of a camera also felt unnatural for many singers. “You have to imagine everyone else,” explained James Green. “You can’t hear them. You have to believe they’re there. It’s an act of faith.” In 2020, Whitacre organized and led the Virtual Choir’s biggest event, featuring over 17,000 singers from 129 countries. Its theme was “May we sing together, though we are apart.” Whitacre believes the project shows a basic human need. We all want to be part of something bigger and meaningful. The Virtual Choir uses modern technology to carry on the tradition of singing together and connects people worldwide through the power of music. 24. What inspired Eric Whitacre to create the Virtual Choir? A. A request from a famous singer. B. A pleasant talk with music lovers. C. A successful choir performance. D. A video of a girl singing his work. 25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. Whitacre undervalued public interest. B. Most singers came from Europe. C. Whitacre had done such projects before. D. The editing work was quite easy. 26. What were the key difficulties for the Virtual Choir? A. Technical trouble and personal discomfort. B. Lack of singers and poor internet. C. Language barriers and time zone differences. D. High costs and long editing time. 27. What does Whitacre stress in the last paragraph? A. The modern world offers more challenges to music fans. B. Technology helps an old practice continue in new forms. C. The Virtual Choir is a highly advanced musical invention. D. The Virtual Choir is more popular than the traditional ones. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Eric Whitacre受女孩演唱视频启发创建虚拟合唱团的历程与意义。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One day at home, he watched a fan’s video that surprised him deeply. A girl named Britlin was singing his composition Sleep alone in her bedroom with a simple web camera. It struck Whitacre that music could bridge the gap between people from different cultures.(有一天，在家里，他看了一段粉丝的视频，这让他大吃一惊。一个名叫Britlin的女孩在卧室里用一个简单的网络摄像头唱着他的作品《睡眠》。Whitacre突然意识到，音乐可以弥合不同文化背景的人之间的差距)”可知，一个女孩演唱他作品的视频激发了Whitacre创建虚拟合唱团的灵感。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He had expected about 50 videos, but received 185 from 12 countries.(他原本预计收到约50个视频，但实际收到了来自12个国家的185个视频)”可知，实际收到的视频数量远超预期，说明Whitacre低估了公众的兴趣。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Submissions were in different formats and sound quality varied greatly. Some failed to keep the beat, others had background noise. The team spent months producing and matching the videos patiently. Besides technical problems, singing alone in front of a camera also felt unnatural for many singers.(提交的文件格式不同，音质差异很大。有些没有跟上节奏，有些有背景噪音。该团队花了几个月的时间耐心地制作和匹配视频。除了技术问题，许多歌手在镜头前独自唱歌也感觉不自然)”可知，主要困难包括技术问题和个人不适感。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Virtual Choir uses modern technology to carry on the tradition of singing together and connects people worldwide through the power of music.(虚拟合唱团利用现代技术延续了一起唱歌的传统，并通过音乐的力量连接了全世界的人们)”可知，Whitacre强调的是技术帮助古老的合唱传统以新形式延续。 C Nothing says “proud homeowner” like a clean, green lawn. A clean lawn shows your care and earns your neighbors’ admiration. Every autumn, millions of homeowners reach for their garden tools. They gather fallen leaves, bag them, and send them away. However, this tidy appearance comes at a cost. A growing movement of environmentalists suggests we simply leave the leaves instead of sending them to landfills. If leaves are buried in landfills, they break down without oxygen and give off harmful greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. In fact, yard waste makes up about 13% of what we throw away. Some people burn leaf piles instead. But this releases harmful chemicals into the air and creates fire risks, especially in dry conditions. So what happens when we leave the leaves? The benefits are significant. Leaf litter shelters insects, spiders and other small creatures, offering critical winter habitats for many species as noted by the Xerces Society. The National Wildlife Federation’s “Leave the Leaves” program adds that butterflies, bees and other insects rely on fallen leaves for protection. Leaves are also natural plant food. As they break down, they release nutrients into the soil. This helps grass stay green and healthy without chemical products. Many universities recommend cutting leaves into small pieces with a lawn mower (割草机) and leaving them on the grass rather than removing them. This autumn, consider seeing your leaves differently. They are not trash to remove but a resource to keep. Move them into garden beds. Run over them with a mower to break them into small pieces. Let them accumulate in quiet corners of your yard. These simple actions reduce pollution, support wildlife, and nourish (滋养) your soil. Sometimes the best thing we can do for the planet is also the easiest: just leave the leaves. 28. What do homeowners generally think of a clean lawn? A. It increases workload. B. It is good for wildlife. C. It needs deep thinking. D. It is a source of pride. 29. What problem do leaves in landfills cause? A. They produce greenhouse gases. B. They start big fires easily. C. They hurt small insects in the soil. D. They pollute soil directly. 30. What is a benefit of leaf litter? A. It makes grass clean. B. It offers wildlife shelter. C. It reduces yard waste. D. It kills harmful chemicals. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Threat Posed by Burning Leaves. B. A Smart Guide to A Clean Lawn. C. The Hidden Gifts of Autumn Leaves. D. The Importance of Garden Wildlife. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了落叶不应被丢弃或焚烧，留在院中能滋养土壤、保护野生动物、减少污染。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nothing says “proud homeowner” like a clean, green lawn. A clean lawn shows your care and earns your neighbors’ admiration.(没有什么比干净的绿草坪更能说明“自豪的房主”了。干净的草坪展示你的用心并赢得邻居的赞赏)”可知，房主通常认为干净的草坪是骄傲的来源。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“If leaves are buried in landfills, they break down without oxygen and give off harmful greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming.(如果树叶被埋在垃圾填埋场，它们会在缺氧条件下分解并释放有害的温室气体，导致全球变暖)”可知，填埋场中的树叶会产生温室气体。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Leaf litter shelters insects, spiders and other small creatures, offering critical winter habitats for many species as noted by the Xerces Society.(落叶层为昆虫、蜘蛛和其他小生物提供了庇护所，正如Xerces协会所指出的那样，为许多物种提供了关键的冬季栖息地)”可知，落叶的好处是为野生动物提供庇护所。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章首先指出人们习惯清理落叶，然后分析丢弃和焚烧落叶的危害，接着介绍保留落叶的三大好处：保护野生动物、滋养土壤、减少污染，最后呼吁人们重新看待落叶。所以C项“秋天落叶的隐藏礼物”最能概括全文主旨，适合作本文的标题。 D When disaster strikes, such as an earthquake, building collapse or fire, every second counts. But entering dangerous places means risking lives. Scientists are developing humanoid (类人的) robots for rescue. In Europe, the WALK-MAN project creates a robot that can walk over debris, twisted metal, and fallen walls left after earthquakes or building collapses. It can also open doors and use tools. What makes WALK-MAN special is its advanced perception system, which allows it to see, feel, and keep balance where humans would struggle. In Singapore, HTX is pushing humanoid robotics further. By mid-2027, these robots will work alongside emergency responders. Standing 1.7 metres tall, they are built for firefighting, handling dangerous materials, and search-and-rescue. Controlled remotely at first, they are expected to operate on their own by 2029. In China, researchers are making rapid progress in humanoid robotics for disaster response. These robots are designed to work in teams, with some carrying sensors to detect trapped victims while others clear paths through rubble (瓦砾). What makes these robots truly useful is their ability to use human tools. Unlike wheeled robots that get stuck on stairs, humanoid robots can climb, open doors, and operate equipment made for people. They carry sensors that detect body heat, listen for voices, and map unfamiliar spaces in real time. Yet the challenges remain significant. Power supply is a major limitation. Most humanoid robots can only operate for one to two hours before needing to recharge, which is far from enough in large-scale disasters. Communication networks often fail in disaster zones, cutting off the connection between robots and their human operators. When that happens, robots must rely on their own artificial intelligence to make decisions, but programming a machine to keep its balance on shifting rubble while searching for victims is enormously complex. Despite these difficulties, researchers worldwide are making steady progress, driven by a single goal: to reach the unreachable and save lives where humans cannot go. 32. What does the underlined word “debris” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Large rescue machines. B. Dangerous chemicals. C. Broken building pieces. D. Open building spaces. 33. What advantage do humanoid robots have over wheeled robots? A. They can work long without charging. B. They are easy to mass-produce. C. They have sensors to detect disasters. D. They can operate human tools. 34. What is the major challenge mentioned about humanoid robots? A. They cut off AI assistance. B. They have limited battery life. C. They fail to work intelligently. D. They lack ability to keep balance. 35. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare robots from different countries. B. To explain how humanoid robots are built. C. To argue that robots should replace humans. D. To introduce robots that help in disasters. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了科学家正在研发类人救援机器人，介绍了各国进展、优势及面临的挑战。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In Europe, the WALK-MAN project creates a robot that can walk over debris, twisted metal, and fallen walls left after earthquakes or building collapses.（在欧洲，WALK-MAN项目创造了一种机器人，可以在地震或建筑倒塌后留下的debris、扭曲的金属和倒塌的墙壁上行走)”可知，debris与“twisted metal”和“fallen walls”并列，都是地震或建筑倒塌后的残留物，即“破碎的建筑碎片”。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“What makes these robots truly useful is their ability to use human tools. Unlike wheeled robots that get stuck on stairs, humanoid robots can climb, open doors, and operate equipment made for people.(这些机器人真正有用的是它们能使用人类工具。不像轮式机器人会卡在楼梯上，类人机器人能爬楼梯、开门、操作为人类设计的设备)”可知，类人机器人相比轮式机器人的优势是能操作人类工具。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Power supply is a major limitation. Most humanoid robots can only operate for one to two hours before needing to recharge, which is far from enough in large-scale disasters.(电源是一个主要的限制因素。大多数人形机器人在需要充电之前只能运行一到两个小时，这在大规模灾难中远远不够)”可知，主要挑战是电池续航时间有限。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Scientists are developing humanoid robots for rescue.(科学家正在研发类人救援机器人)”以及全文分别介绍了欧洲、新加坡、中国的救援机器人进展、优势和挑战可知，文章主要目的是介绍用于灾难救援的机器人。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you think of jogging, you probably imagine people running at a steady, energetic pace. But have you ever heard of running at a snail’s pace on purpose? ____36____ Slow jogging has gained worldwide popularity because it solves a common problem that many runners push too hard and end up getting hurt. After decades of research, scientists have found running at a conversational pace is ideal. ____37____ In other words, you get all the rewards of running without wearing down your body. That is exactly where slow jogging shows its biggest advantage. The technique itself is surprisingly simple. You run at about 2-4 kilometers per hour, which is actually slower than many people walk. ____38____ Remember to use short, quick steps so your feet barely leave the ground. This significantly reduces the impact on your knees and joints, making the movement gentle on the body. ____39____ Studies show that slow jogging for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can improve heart health, lung function, and even help with weight control. Because it is so gentle, older adults, beginners, and even people recovering from injuries can join in without fear. Perhaps the best part is how easy it is to get started. ____40____ Just put on comfortable shoes and head outside. No complicated plans, no pressure to hit a certain speed, but just you and the road. So next time you see someone moving at what looks like a very relaxed run, don’t laugh. They might just be onto something big. A. This practice is known as “slow jogging”. B. Slow jogging is of great benefit to your mind. C. The health benefits go far beyond injury prevention. D. You don’t need any special equipment or a gym membership. E. Getting started requires health awareness and great determination. F. The key skill is to land on the middle of your foot rather than your heel. G. This pace provides health benefits while carrying a lower risk of injury. 【答案】36. A 37. G 38. F 39. C 40.

Actors play one of four roles: sheng, male roles; dan, female roles; chou, clown roles; and jing, painted-face roles, each of ____56____ has its own distinct style of performance, costume, and makeup. In the early days, Beijing Opera ____57____ (perform) on open-air stages in markets, streets, teahouses, or outside temples, often as part of local festivities. Performers wore bright costumes in colourful patterns ____58____ (attract) the audience’s attention, even from a distance. Symbols play ____59____ very important role in Beijing Opera. Many body movements can represent everyday actions. For example, when a lady is riding in a carriage, the performer actually walks ____60____ a flag on each side to symbolize the vehicle. Four generals and four soldiers represent an army of thousands. What audiences admire most is the performers’ ability to move ____61____ (flexible) between different roles. The strategic approach to stagecraft, which has been improved and passed down through ____62____ (generation), requires years of disciplined training to master. A simple gesture, whether touching the beard ____63____ lifting the foot, can express complex emotions like anger, worry, or joy. In other words, every movement in Beijing Opera ____64____ (carry) symbolic meaning. Highly _____65_____ (appreciate) for its unique combination of music, movement, and symbolism, Beijing Opera continues to draw audiences, offering them both artistic beauty and cultural depth. 【答案】56. which 57. was performed 58. to attract 59. a 60. with 61. flexibly 62. generations 63. or 64. carries 65. appreciated 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍京剧作为中国国粹的四大行当特点、早期演出形式、服饰象征意义、舞台表演手法以及艺术传承价值。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：演员分为生、旦、丑、净四大行当，每一行当都有其独特的表演风格、服饰与妆容。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为four roles，指代事物，且位于介词of之后，所以用关系代词which。 【57题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：早期，京剧常在集市、街道、茶馆或寺庙外的露天舞台上演，往往作为地方节庆活动的一部分。此处为谓语动词，叙述过去的事情用一般过去时；主语Beijing Opera与perform之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was performed。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：演员们穿着带有多彩花纹的鲜艳服装，为了吸引观众的注意力，就算在远处也能引人注目。此处用非谓语动词作状语，表示穿着华丽戏服的目的，所以用to attract作目的状语。故填to attract。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：象征手法在京剧中扮演着十分重要的角色。固定搭配play a very important role意为“扮演重要角色；起到重要作用”，very以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，女子乘坐马车时，演员只是手持两面旗帜行走，以此象征车马。此处表示“带着；拿着”，用介词with。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：观众最欣赏的是演员在不同角色之间灵活转换的能力。此处修饰动词move，需用副词作状语，flexible的副词形式为flexibly意为“灵活地”。 【62题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这套经过世代完善并传承下来的舞台表演技法，需要多年严格训练才能掌握。generation为可数名词，此处表示“世世代代”，需用复数形式generations。 【63题详解】 考查连词。句意：一个简单的手势，无论是捋胡须还是抬脚，都能表达愤怒、忧虑或喜悦等复杂情感。固定搭配whether...or...意为“无论……还是……”，所以用连词or。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：换句话说，京剧中的每一个动作都承载着象征意义。此处为谓语动词，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语every movement为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用carries。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：京剧因其音乐、身段与象征手法的独特融合而备受推崇，不断吸引着观众，带给人们艺术美感与文化底蕴。此处为非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语Beijing Opera与appreciate之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词appreciated。 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，上周你和班级同学参加了学校组织的户外拓展训练（outdoor development training），如：rope climbing; team relay races等。请给你的英国网友Johnson写一封电子邮件，描述此次活动并谈谈你的感受。内容要点： 1.简述活动的主要过程; 2.分享你的个人感受。 注意：(1) 词数应为80个左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Johnson, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 How is everything going?

There, she offered the old guidance through the digital world — showing how to tell truth from AI-generated fiction, helping access important services with a few careful clicks and so on. Yet one person still struggled: Mr. Arthur Hale, an 82-year-old widower (鳏夫) whose world had slowly shrunk to the quiet rooms of his lonely home. A smartphone from his granddaughter Lila overseas sat unused on his side table, gathering dust. “It’s too much,” he’d murmur to Mia, his hands—once skilled in the gentle art of gardening — now moving nervously. The digital age had left him behind in clear ways: a missed heart doctor appointment, the ongoing silence where his granddaughter’s laughter should have been, the quiet frustration of struggling with a QR code at the drugstore. The man who once shared pieces from his rose bushes now spent hours looking out the window, as if watching the world speed by like a train he wasn’t on. Mia understood the real problem was not skill, but heart. For many like Mr. Hale, technology felt less like a tool and more like a sign that they were being ignored, a quiet conversation happening in a place they could no longer join. One rainy afternoon, she found him staring at his phone’s black screen, a single tear moving slowly down his wrinkled cheek. He had accidentally deleted the last good photo of his beloved wife. “I only wanted to see Lila,” he whispered, the words floating in the still room. “Was that too much to ask?” Mia’s heart ached. She promised him she’d help, not just with the phone, but with letting go of his fear. That evening, she stayed up late, making a simple, step-by-step guide with large pictures and clear words, — just for him. 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。 On her next day visit, Mia sat beside Mr. Hale and picked up his smartphone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, a digital help corner opened in the community. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On her next day visit, Mia sat beside Mr. Hale and picked up his smartphone. “Let’s start with what you love,” she said gently, opening the camera. “How about a picture of your roses for Lila?” She guided his trembling hands, turning taps into familiar gestures — like tending to buds. “Just tap this, and you’ll see Lila,” she said softly. Mr. Hale’s hands shook as he followed her steps. The screen lit up, and his granddaughter’s face appeared. “Grandpa!” she cried. For a minute, he couldn’t speak, just staring and smiling through tears. He asked about her life, showed her his rose garden, and even learned to send a heart emoji. When the call ended, he squeezed Mia’s hand: “Thank you for bringing my granddaughter back to me.” Weeks later, a digital help corner opened in the community. Mia invited other college volunteers, and they tailored lessons to the elderly: how to book doctor’s appointments online, scan QR codes, and even use AI to edit garden photos. Mr. Hale became a volunteer too, teaching his friends what he’d learned. One day, he showed Mia a short video he’d made of his roses, with a voice over saying, “Thank you for not leaving us behind, but with us letting go of fear.” The digital divide wasn’t just about skills — it was about care. In the digital age, Mia realized, kindness was the best bridge between generations. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了志愿者Mia为82岁的独居老人Mr. Hale提供数字技术帮助，不仅教会他使用智能手机，更帮助他跨越数字鸿沟、重拾与孙女的联系，最终带动社区老年群体一起拥抱数字时代的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Mia以Mr. Hale喜爱的玫瑰为切入点，一步步引导他学习使用手机，最终成功与孙女视频通话，打开心结的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Mia发起的社区数字帮扶角落成立后，Mr. Hale也加入志愿队伍，带动更多老人学习数字技能，传递温暖与善意的场景。 2. 续写线索：引导学习手机→视频连线孙女→重拾笑容→社区开设帮扶角落→Mr. Hale成为志愿者→传递温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 指导：guide/instruct ② 颤抖：shake/tremble ③ 结束：end/conclude 情绪类 ① 笑：smile/beam ② 恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】【高分句型1】“Let’s start with what you love,” she said gently, opening the camera.运用了现在分词短语opening the camera作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】Mr. Hale’s hands shook as he followed her steps.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学国际部高考班 2025-2026学年高二下期05月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

One day at home, he watched a fan’s video that surprised him deeply. A girl named Britlin was singing his composition Sleep alone in her bedroom with a simple web camera. It struck Whitacre that music could bridge the gap between people from different cultures. Thus the Virtual Choir (虚拟合唱团) was started. Whitacre posted a call online, asking people worldwide to record themselves singing the piece Lux Aurumque and send it to him. He had expected about 50 videos, but received 185 from 12 countries. His team spent much time editing the videos, and the final video was uploaded in 2010. It showed many singers on screen performing together from thousands of miles apart and soon went viral. The project grew rapidly. Later, over 2,000 singers from 58 countries submitted videos. A farmer in Nebraska sang alongside a student in Tokyo. Even though they had never met, they created beautiful and touching music together. Yet there were many challenges. Submissions were in different formats and sound quality varied greatly. Some failed to keep the beat, others had background noise. The team spent months producing and matching the videos patiently. Besides technical problems, singing alone in front of a camera also felt unnatural for many singers. “You have to imagine everyone else,” explained James Green. “You can’t hear them. You have to believe they’re there. It’s an act of faith.” In 2020, Whitacre organized and led the Virtual Choir’s biggest event, featuring over 17,000 singers from 129 countries. Its theme was “May we sing together, though we are apart.” Whitacre believes the project shows a basic human need. We all want to be part of something bigger and meaningful. The Virtual Choir uses modern technology to carry on the tradition of singing together and connects people worldwide through the power of music. 24. What inspired Eric Whitacre to create the Virtual Choir? A. A request from a famous singer. B. A pleasant talk with music lovers. C. A successful choir performance. D. A video of a girl singing his work. 25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. Whitacre undervalued public interest. B. Most singers came from Europe. C. Whitacre had done such projects before. D. The editing work was quite easy. 26. What were the key difficulties for the Virtual Choir? A. Technical trouble and personal discomfort. B. Lack of singers and poor internet. C. Language barriers and time zone differences. D. High costs and long editing time. 27. What does Whitacre stress in the last paragraph? A. The modern world offers more challenges to music fans. B. Technology helps an old practice continue in new forms. C. The Virtual Choir is a highly advanced musical invention. D. The Virtual Choir is more popular than the traditional ones. C Nothing says “proud homeowner” like a clean, green lawn. A clean lawn shows your care and earns your neighbors’ admiration. Every autumn, millions of homeowners reach for their garden tools. They gather fallen leaves, bag them, and send them away. However, this tidy appearance comes at a cost. A growing movement of environmentalists suggests we simply leave the leaves instead of sending them to landfills. If leaves are buried in landfills, they break down without oxygen and give off harmful greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. In fact, yard waste makes up about 13% of what we throw away. Some people burn leaf piles instead. But this releases harmful chemicals into the air and creates fire risks, especially in dry conditions. So what happens when we leave the leaves? The benefits are significant. Leaf litter shelters insects, spiders and other small creatures, offering critical winter habitats for many species as noted by the Xerces Society. The National Wildlife Federation’s “Leave the Leaves” program adds that butterflies, bees and other insects rely on fallen leaves for protection. Leaves are also natural plant food. As they break down, they release nutrients into the soil. This helps grass stay green and healthy without chemical products. Many universities recommend cutting leaves into small pieces with a lawn mower (割草机) and leaving them on the grass rather than removing them. This autumn, consider seeing your leaves differently. They are not trash to remove but a resource to keep. Move them into garden beds. Run over them with a mower to break them into small pieces. Let them accumulate in quiet corners of your yard. These simple actions reduce pollution, support wildlife, and nourish (滋养) your soil. Sometimes the best thing we can do for the planet is also the easiest: just leave the leaves. 28. What do homeowners generally think of a clean lawn? A. It increases workload. B. It is good for wildlife. C. It needs deep thinking. D. It is a source of pride. 29. What problem do leaves in landfills cause? A. They produce greenhouse gases. B. They start big fires easily. C. They hurt small insects in the soil. D. They pollute soil directly. 30. What is a benefit of leaf litter? A. It makes grass clean. B. It offers wildlife shelter. C. It reduces yard waste. D. It kills harmful chemicals. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Threat Posed by Burning Leaves. B. A Smart Guide to A Clean Lawn. C. The Hidden Gifts of Autumn Leaves. D. The Importance of Garden Wildlife. D When disaster strikes, such as an earthquake, building collapse or fire, every second counts. But entering dangerous places means risking lives. Scientists are developing humanoid (类人的) robots for rescue. In Europe, the WALK-MAN project creates a robot that can walk over debris, twisted metal, and fallen walls left after earthquakes or building collapses. It can also open doors and use tools. What makes WALK-MAN special is its advanced perception system, which allows it to see, feel, and keep balance where humans would struggle. In Singapore, HTX is pushing humanoid robotics further. By mid-2027, these robots will work alongside emergency responders. Standing 1.7 metres tall, they are built for firefighting, handling dangerous materials, and search-and-rescue. Controlled remotely at first, they are expected to operate on their own by 2029. In China, researchers are making rapid progress in humanoid robotics for disaster response. These robots are designed to work in teams, with some carrying sensors to detect trapped victims while others clear paths through rubble (瓦砾). What makes these robots truly useful is their ability to use human tools. Unlike wheeled robots that get stuck on stairs, humanoid robots can climb, open doors, and operate equipment made for people. They carry sensors that detect body heat, listen for voices, and map unfamiliar spaces in real time. Yet the challenges remain significant. Power supply is a major limitation. Most humanoid robots can only operate for one to two hours before needing to recharge, which is far from enough in large-scale disasters. Communication networks often fail in disaster zones, cutting off the connection between robots and their human operators. When that happens, robots must rely on their own artificial intelligence to make decisions, but programming a machine to keep its balance on shifting rubble while searching for victims is enormously complex. Despite these difficulties, researchers worldwide are making steady progress, driven by a single goal: to reach the unreachable and save lives where humans cannot go. 32. What does the underlined word “debris” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Large rescue machines. B. Dangerous chemicals. C. Broken building pieces. D. Open building spaces. 33. What advantage do humanoid robots have over wheeled robots? A. They can work long without charging. B. They are easy to mass-produce. C. They have sensors to detect disasters. D. They can operate human tools. 34. What is the major challenge mentioned about humanoid robots? A. They cut off AI assistance. B. They have limited battery life. C. They fail to work intelligently. D. They lack ability to keep balance. 35. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare robots from different countries. B. To explain how humanoid robots are built. C. To argue that robots should replace humans. D. To introduce robots that help in disasters. 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。 When you think of jogging, you probably imagine people running at a steady, energetic pace. But have you ever heard of running at a snail’s pace on purpose? ____36____ Slow jogging has gained worldwide popularity because it solves a common problem that many runners push too hard and end up getting hurt. After decades of research, scientists have found running at a conversational pace is ideal. ____37____ In other words, you get all the rewards of running without wearing down your body. That is exactly where slow jogging shows its biggest advantage. The technique itself is surprisingly simple. You run at about 2-4 kilometers per hour, which is actually slower than many people walk. ____38____ Remember to use short, quick steps so your feet barely leave the ground. This significantly reduces the impact on your knees and joints, making the movement gentle on the body. ____39____ Studies show that slow jogging for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can improve heart health, lung function, and even help with weight control. Because it is so gentle, older adults, beginners, and even people recovering from injuries can join in without fear. Perhaps the best part is how easy it is to get started. ____40____ Just put on comfortable shoes and head outside. No complicated plans, no pressure to hit a certain speed, but just you and the road. So next time you see someone moving at what looks like a very relaxed run, don’t laugh. They might just be onto something big. A. This practice is known as “slow jogging”. B. Slow jogging is of great benefit to your mind. C. The health benefits go far beyond injury prevention. D. You don’t need any special equipment or a gym membership. E. Getting started requires health awareness and great determination. F. The key skill is to land on the middle of your foot rather than your heel. G. This pace provides health benefits while carrying a lower risk of injury. 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。 Helen’s eyes were fixed on the dress she was trying to put on as she stood in front of the mirror.

There, she offered the old guidance through the digital world — showing how to tell truth from AI-generated fiction, helping access important services with a few careful clicks and so on. Yet one person still struggled: Mr. Arthur Hale, an 82-year-old widower (鳏夫) whose world had slowly shrunk to the quiet rooms of his lonely home. A smartphone from his granddaughter Lila overseas sat unused on his side table, gathering dust. “It’s too much,” he’d murmur to Mia, his hands—once skilled in the gentle art of gardening — now moving nervously. The digital age had left him behind in clear ways: a missed heart doctor appointment, the ongoing silence where his granddaughter’s laughter should have been, the quiet frustration of struggling with a QR code at the drugstore. The man who once shared pieces from his rose bushes now spent hours looking out the window, as if watching the world speed by like a train he wasn’t on. Mia understood the real problem was not skill, but heart. For many like Mr. Hale, technology felt less like a tool and more like a sign that they were being ignored, a quiet conversation happening in a place they could no longer join. One rainy afternoon, she found him staring at his phone’s black screen, a single tear moving slowly down his wrinkled cheek. He had accidentally deleted the last good photo of his beloved wife. “I only wanted to see Lila,” he whispered, the words floating in the still room. “Was that too much to ask?” Mia’s heart ached. She promised him she’d help, not just with the phone, but with letting go of his fear. That evening, she stayed up late, making a simple, step-by-step guide with large pictures and clear words, — just for him. 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。 On her next day visit, Mia sat beside Mr. Hale and picked up his smartphone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, a digital help corner opened in the community. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。My mom called us now, saying, sh'll visit us at the end of the week.
