It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. On Facebook, I came across a beginners’ course for underwater rugby which gained appeal as a means of developing teamwork through non-verbal (非语言的) communication. I’d always loved the water, so I went along. I was greeted by an enthusiastic coach Bobby. He got me swimming lengths on the surface, then from the top to the bottom. On the other side of the pool, advanced players were having a session. That they scored goals underwater got me excited. Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D, meaning you could pass the ball in any direction, even up and down, and opponents could come at you from anywhere. Tackles involved grabbing hold of someone to slow them down and trying to get the ball off them. Often, I’d be so engaged that I wouldn’t think about my breathing until I’d pushed myself too far. I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath, hoping my teammates had taken possession. With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. We formed a team called the Raiders, and in November we went to Berlin to compete against teams from other countries. It was the first Australian men’s team and although we came second-last, we had so much fun. My teammates have become close friends. “I want to try it,” Jacob said when he saw how many new friends I had. The classes were inclusive for all levels, and he picked it up as he went. He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. There are now hundreds of people playing underwater rugby around Australia, ranging in age from 17 into their late 50s. So I encourage anyone who can to give it a try. 4.

Enhancing physical fitness and social bonds. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. A good talk clears the air. B. A relaxing hobby eases the mind. C. A small sport makes a big difference. D. A team sport fuels the competitive spirit. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者为缓解与室友的紧张关系而尝试水下橄榄球这项小众运动，并在过程中提升了身体素质、结交了亲密朋友、改善了与室友的关系，这项运动也在当地发展起来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. (那是2017年冬天，和我住在一起的最好的朋友，25岁的Jacob，让我心烦，我也让他心烦。我需要一个爱好让我走出家门。)”可知，作者想找一个爱好是为了缓解与室友的紧张关系。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D... Tackles involved... Often, I’d be so engaged... I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath... (几周内，我就开始打比赛了。这项运动是三维的……抢截包括……我常常如此投入……然后我会迅速浮到水面呼吸……)”可知，本段详细叙述了作者从开始比赛到沉浸其中的完整经历，主要内容是其参与水下橄榄球的过程。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. (每次比赛，我的肺活量都会增加，直到我可以在比赛时屏住呼吸一分钟。)”和“My teammates have become close friends. (我的队友们已经成为了亲密的朋友。)”和最后一段中“He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. (他喜欢它，而且因为我们都经常出门，我们不再让对方心烦。)”可知，作者从这段经历中获益，体现在增强了身体素质和加强了社会联系。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“I need a hobby to get me out of the house. (我需要一个爱好让我走出家门。)”和最后一段中“He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. (他喜欢它，而且因为我们都经常出门，我们不再让对方心烦。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者因与室友关系紧张而尝试了水下橄榄球这个小众运动，这项运动改善了他的健康、社交，修复了他与室友的关系，给他的个人生活带来了积极而巨大的改变。因此，我们从文章中可以学到“一项小众的运动可以带来巨大的改变”。 C You have probably heard of the social-media addiction trial that recently took place in Los Angeles. A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won. This interesting court case raises many questions that there are currently no clear answers to, but that people should think about. Social media is extensively used. As many as one in every three people uses social media, and in the USA, people reportedly spend around 6 hours a day on it. In 2025, Facebook had over 3 billion users, followed by WhatsApp and Instagram with about 3 billion each. With such extensive use, it is not strange that social media addiction (SMA) has become a focus for many researchers. One initial research area is the potential classification of SMA. It is worth noting that the DSM-5, a diagnostic tool for psychologists, does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research. Thus, the conversations around SMA are not necessarily straightforward. However, within research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the heavy use of social media platforms which can lead to harmful life consequences. It also shares some components with behavioral disorders like gambling (赌博), including conflict, tolerance and withdrawal. Should social media be regulated (监管) by law? This is another difficult question. As more researchers agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, it should perhaps be managed to reduce potential risks — much like tobacco, alcohol, and gambling. The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in cinemas or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By citing a case. B. By giving a definition. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining a phenomenon. 9. What does the author say about SMA? A. It has unproven consequences. B. It is no different from gambling. C. It arises from social media overuse. D. It is clearly regarded as a mental illness. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards monitoring social media by law? A. Favorable. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Opposed. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Court Case: A Landmark Victory B. Legal Regulation: A Necessary Step C. Social Media Use: A Global Phenomenon D. Social Media Addiction: A Rising Concern 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章由洛杉矶一起针对Meta和YouTube的社交媒体成瘾诉讼案引入，探讨了社交媒体成瘾的现状、研究界定、潜在危害，并由此提出了是否应对社交媒体进行法律监管的思考。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“You have probably heard of the social-media addiction trial that recently took place in Los Angeles. A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won. (你或许听说过近期发生在洛杉矶的这起社交媒体成瘾诉讼案。一名年轻女性起诉Meta和YouTube，指控二者致使她对社交媒体上瘾，而她最终胜诉。)”可知，作者通过引用一个具体的法庭案例来引入话题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, within research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the heavy use of social media platforms which can lead to harmful life consequences. (然而，在研究文献中，社交媒体成瘾被描述为数字技术成瘾的一种具体形式。它指的是过度使用社交媒体平台，这可能会给生活带来有害的后果。)”可知，社交媒体成瘾源于过度使用社交媒体。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As more researchers agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, it should perhaps be managed to reduce potential risks — much like tobacco, alcohol, and gambling. (随着越来越多的研究人员认为社交媒体成瘾可能是一种真正的成瘾性疾病，它或许应该像烟草、酒精和赌博一样，被加以管控以降低潜在风险。)”以及“It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different. (很难看出为什么社交媒体应该有所不同。)”可知，作者认为社交媒体应像烟草、酒精和赌博一样被监管，因此作者支持通过法律监管社交媒体。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章从一起诉讼案引出社交媒体成瘾问题，接着介绍了其普遍性、研究界定中的争议、与行为障碍的相似性，最后探讨了对其进行法律监管的必要性。全文始终围绕“社交媒体成瘾”这一核心议题及其带来的“日益增长的担忧”展开。因此D项“Social Media Addiction: A Rising Concern (社交媒体成瘾：一个日益引起关注的问题)”最能概括文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。 D Listening to music while driving is a common habit for many people. It helps us stay awake, improves our mood, and makes long trips more enjoyable. Over 80% of drivers play music on most journeys, especially younger drivers who find it hard to concentrate without it. Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions. The results show that music can both help and harm driving performance. Overall, listening to music tends to lead to more simulated (模拟的) crashes, poorer speed control, and less stable following distances compared to driving in silence. However, music can temporarily help tired drivers stay alert on long, dull drives, though this effect fades after 15-25 minutes. Loud or fast-paced music is often thought to be risky, but research shows the picture is more complex. High volume tends to slightly increase speed, while low volume makes people drive more slowly. Fast music does not always make driving worse, but very energetic or aggressive songs can lead to riskier behaviour, especially for young or inexperienced drivers. Music that drivers choose themselves tends to be less distracting (分心的) than music they do not like, as it helps them stay calm and focused. Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers. In contrast, calm or slow music can help them stay more aware and respond better to dangers on the road. For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks. New drivers, in particular, may want to lower the volume or even turn off the music in difficult driving conditions. 12. How do most researchers study the effects of music on driving? A. By conducting experiments in driving simulators. B. By analyzing real car crash data involving music. C. By surveying drivers’ personal preferences for music. D. By measuring drivers’ physical health after long trips. 13. Which type of driver should be most cautious about listening to music while driving? A. Drivers who are feeling excited. B. Drivers with little driving experience. C. Drivers who prefer popular music. D. Drivers travelling long distances. 14. What is the safest practice for drivers regarding music? A. Listening to loud music on boring road trips. B. Enjoying fast music to keep the brain active. C. Choosing familiar songs at a medium volume. D. Letting the passengers choose the music to enjoy. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discourage drivers from listening to music. B. To explore the driving habits between different drivers. C. To criticize young drivers for their bad listening habits. D. To explain how music affects driving and offer advice. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了音乐对驾驶行为的影响，分析不同音乐类型及音量对驾驶安全的作用，并提出安全驾驶的音乐建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第二段中“Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions.(研究人员多年来一直在虚拟驾驶环境中研究音乐对驾驶的影响。他们在不同的音乐条件下测量速度、反应时间和碰撞事故等指标)”可知，研究者在虚拟驾驶环境中进行实验来测量驾驶表现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第五段中“Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers.(新手司机更容易受音乐影响。研究表明，当他们听欢快或快节奏音乐时，更可能超速、错过路标、对危险反应迟缓)”可知，缺乏驾驶经验的司机更容易受音乐影响。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。​根据最后一段中“For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks.(为了更安全的驾驶，最好听熟悉的歌曲，保持适中音量，避免过大或激进的曲目)”可知，最安全的做法是选择熟悉的歌曲并以中等音量播放。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。​文章开篇介绍音乐对驾驶的普遍影响，接着通过研究数据说明音乐如何影响驾驶表现，最后针对不同人群提出安全驾驶的音乐建议，所以本文的目的是解释音乐如何影响驾驶并提供建议。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For high school students, free time is a precious gift that should be cherished. ____16____ Many students fall into aimless scrolling through social media or end up feeling bored and unfulfilled. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can turn these spare moments into meaningful and rewarding time — one that enriches our lives, promotes personal growth, and brings us joy, not just keeps us busy with useless tasks. ____17____ For example, to improve English, you can plan to read one short English article or learn 10 new words every day. Specific goals not only avoid aimlessness but also give your spare time a clear direction and purpose. When you know exactly what you want to achieve, every minute counts. Also, focus on activities that bring you joy and help you grow. ____18____ Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or coding, these hobbies not only relax your mind but also develop your creativity and practical skills, making your free time more fulfilling. The key is to find something that challenges you just enough to keep you engaged without causing stress. Learning to say “no” to unimportant things also matters a lot. ____19____ Many students feel pressured to join every social event or help others with trivial tasks, which ends up wasting their precious free time. Politely declining these invitations frees up more time for what truly matters to you. Remember, your time is limited, and you cannot please everyone while still taking care of yourself. ____20____ So start your plan now and make every free moment meaningful. A. An important step is to set achievable goals for your free time. B. This way, your free time becomes a source of genuine fulfillment. C. You don’t have to fill every minute of your free time with activities. D. This skill allows you to prioritize your own needs over others’ demands. E. It is important to balance productivity with relaxation in your free time. F. You can take up a hobby that challenges you while bringing satisfaction. G. Yet in reality, these hours often slip through our fingers before we notice. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了高中生如何将空闲时间变得更有意义，包括设定目标、培养爱好和学会拒绝。 【16题详解】 上文“For high school students, free time is a precious gift that should be cherished.(对高中生来说，空闲时间是应该珍惜的宝贵礼物)”指出空闲时间的宝贵价值，G选项“Yet in reality, these hours often slip through our fingers before we notice.(然而在现实中，这些时间常常在我们还没察觉时就溜走了)”与上文构成转折关系，指出理想与现实的差距——宝贵的时间往往被浪费；下文“Many students fall into aimless scrolling through social media or end up feeling bored and unfulfilled.(许多学生陷入无目的地刷社交媒体，或者最终感到无聊和不满足)”具体描述了时间被浪费的表现，与G选项中的“slip through our fingers”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。 【17题详解】 设空处位于段落开头，是该段的主题句。下文“For example, to improve English, you can plan to read one short English article or learn 10 new words every day. Specific goals not only avoid aimlessness but also give your spare time a clear direction and purpose.(例如，为了提高英语，你可以计划每天读一篇简短的英文文章或学习10个新单词。具体的目标不仅能避免漫无目的，还能给你的空闲时间带来明确的方向和目的)”建议设定具体目标来利用空闲时间，A选项“An important step is to set achievable goals for your free time.(重要的一步是为你的空闲时间设定可实现的目标)”准确概括了本段主旨，引出下文关于设定具体目标的说明，其中“achievable goals”与下文的“Specific goals”相呼应，符合段落主题句的功能。 【18题详解】 上文“Also, focus on activities that bring you joy and help you grow.(此外，专注于那些能带给你快乐并帮助你成长的活动)”建议选择有益且有趣的活动，F选项“You can take up a hobby that challenges you while bringing satisfaction.(你可以培养一个既能挑战自己又能带来满足感的爱好)”承接上文，具体说明了什么样的活动符合这一要求；下文“Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or coding, these hobbies not only relax your mind but also develop your creativity and practical skills...(无论是绘画、演奏乐器还是编程，这些爱好不仅能放松你的心情，还能培养你的创造力和实用技能...)”举例说明了F选项中提到的“hobby”的具体类型及其益处，上下文语意连贯。 【19题详解】 上文“Learning to say “no” to unimportant things also matters a lot.(学会对不重要的事情说“不”也很重要)”指出拒绝不重要事务的重要性，D选项“This skill allows you to prioritize your own needs over others’ demands.(这项技能让你能够将自己的需求置于他人的要求之上)”承接上文，解释学会说“不”这一技能的核心作用；下文“Many students feel pressured to join every social event or help others with trivial tasks, which ends up wasting their precious free time.(许多学生感到有压力去参加每一个社交活动或帮助别人做琐碎的事情，这最终浪费了他们宝贵的空闲时间)”说明了缺乏这一技能带来的后果，与D选项形成对比，进一步论证学会说“不”的必要性，上下文语意连贯。 【20题详解】 上文“Politely declining these invitations frees up more time for what truly matters to you. Remember, your time is limited, and you cannot please everyone while still taking care of yourself.(礼貌地拒绝这些邀请能为你真正重要的事情腾出更多时间。记住，你的时间是有限的，你不可能在照顾好自己同时取悦每一个人)”总结了珍惜时间、学会取舍的道理，B选项“This way, your free time becomes a source of genuine fulfillment.(这样一来，你的空闲时间就会成为真正满足感的来源)”承接上文，说明按照上述原则管理时间后的积极结果——空闲时间带来真正的满足感，其中“This way”指代上文提到的学会拒绝、优先照顾自己的做法，上下文逻辑一致。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandparents introduced me to the amazing world of chickens when I was 10.

Through careful consultation with experts in social work and urban planning, we designed a blueprint for the ____41____ (expand) of our services, including after-school programs and a food bank. Then, a sudden misfortune ____42____ (strike) — a fire broke out in the old wing of our building, ____43____ (destroy) essential supplies. I felt deeply ashamed, believing that I had failed the ones ____44____ trusted me. But instead of blaming me, the community came together. Volunteers helped clear the rubble, and local businesses donated new resources. That painful event taught me a lasting lesson: leadership is not about avoiding failure, but about showing _____45_____ one can rise from it with courage and honesty. 【答案】36. the 37. maintenance 38. on 39. influential 40. allowing 41. expansion 42. struck 43. destroying 44. who 45. how 【解析】 【导语】作者新任社区中心主任，讲述自己承接前任打下的信任基础、规划服务拓展方案，遭遇火灾变故后得到社区帮扶，并从中领悟领导真谛的经历。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：我的前任主任经过多年真诚服务，已经和当地居民打下了信任的基础。此处为固定搭配lay the foundation of，意为“打下……的基础”，foundation后面有后置定语限定，表特指，所以用定冠词the。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，维系这份信任需要持续付出努力并保持公开透明。空格处在句中作主语，需要使用名词形式，maintain对应的名词是maintenance意为“维护，维持”。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：我代表社区里最困难的居民，联系了市里数位有影响力的人士。此处为固定搭配on behalf of，意为“代表”，所以此处为介词on。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我代表社区里最困难的居民，联系了市里数位有影响力的人士。此处修饰名词figures，需要使用形容词，influence对应的形容词是influential，意为“有影响力的”。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们愿意抽出宝贵时间，促成了一系列富有成效的商谈。此处为非谓语动词作结果状语，allow与逻辑主语They之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词allowing。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：经过与社会工作和城市规划领域专家的仔细商讨，我们拟定了服务扩容规划，其中包含课后帮扶项目与食物救济站。空格前有定冠词the，空格后有介词of，此处需要名词作介词宾语，expand对应的名词是expansion意为“扩大，扩张”。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：随后，一场意外灾祸突如其来——我们建筑的旧侧楼突发火灾，损毁了必备物资。此处是句子谓语动词，后文动词broke out为一般过去时，时态保持一致，strike的过去式为struck。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随后，一场意外灾祸突如其来——我们建筑的旧侧楼突发火灾，损毁了必备物资。此处为非谓语动词作自然而然的结果状语，destroy与逻辑主语a fire之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词destroying。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：我满心愧疚，觉得自己辜负了那些信任我的人。此处为定语从句，先行词是the ones，指代人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who。 【45题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：那次惨痛的经历给我留下长久的启示：领导力不在于规避失败，而在于展现人该如何凭借勇气与坦诚走出困境。此处引导宾语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，但句意不完整，结合句意，此处缺少方式状语，表示“如何”，所以用连接副词how。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 青少年应当具有强烈的责任感，但如今越来越多的青少年缺缺乏责任感。假定你是学生会主席李华，请你为全体同学作一个题为“To be responsible”的演讲，倡议大家应该培养强烈的责任感。 内容包括： 1. 责任的意义; 2. 如何培养责任感; 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 词数100左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellows, It is my pleasure and privilege to be here and present my thoughts on how to be responsible.

At 16, I liked nothing better than driving our old truck, feeling the wind through the open window and the roar of the engine. But this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store. Sixteen is a prideful age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racial discrimination was still a fact of life in our small town. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner questioned whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were watched like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery. The memory of their embarrassed faces burned in my mind. My family was honest. We paid our debts. My parents worked from dawn to dusk, and we never took anything that wasn’t ours. But before harvest, cash was always short. The crops were still green in the fields, and every dollar had to stretch. Would the store owner trust us? My heart pounded as I parked the truck in front of Davis’s store, dust rising around the wheels. At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer I didn’t know. The air smelled of leather and feed. I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves, my hands slightly sweaty. I picked up the bunch of wire and added a few other supplies we needed. When I brought my purchases to the cash desk, I cleared my throat and said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.” The words felt heavy on my tongue. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said, picking up the wire. “Your daddy is always good for it.” He turned to the farmer and added, “Here is one of James Williams’s sons.” The farmer’s expression lightened. He nodded, as if seeing me for the first time. A feeling of ease washed over me, followed by something warmer — pride. Those three words, James Williams’s son, had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust. I walked out of the store with my head high, the wire in my hands feeling light. That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned. It brought our family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word. Driving home, I understood that a good name wasn’t something you asked for — it was something you lived. My father had given me more than a truck. He had given me a legacy of honesty and the quiet power of being known as someone who could be trusted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以16岁黑人少年受父亲之托去商店赊账购买铁丝为线索展开，讲述了主人公因种族歧视而对赊账感到羞耻和紧张，最终因父母诚实守信的好名声而顺利获得店主信任与尊重的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写店主爽快地同意赊账，并向农夫介绍主人公，农夫态度随之缓和，主人公感受到宽慰和自豪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写主人公认识到好名声给全家带来的尊重，以及感悟。 2.续写线索：店主同意赊账——向农夫介绍主人公身份——农夫态度缓和——主人公感到宽慰与自豪——认识到好名声的价值——领悟诚实生活的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①伸手拿：picking up/reaching for/taking hold of ②缓和：lightened/softened/smoothed ③走出：walked out of/stepped out of/headed out of 情绪类： ①一阵宽慰：a feeling of ease/a wave of relief/a sense of comfort ②自豪：pride/dignity/self-respect 【点睛】[高分句型1] Driving home, I understood that a good name wasn’t something you asked for — it was something you lived.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导宾语从句作understood的宾语以及省略了关系词的定语从句） [高分句型2] He had given me a legacy of honesty and the quiet power of being known as someone who could be trusted.（运用了动名词的被动式作宾语和who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 扬大附中2025—2026学年度第二学期高二年级英语学科阶段练习2 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

It was the winter of 2017 and my best friend Jacob, 25, who I lived with, was getting on my nerves, and I on his. I need a hobby to get me out of the house. On Facebook, I came across a beginners’ course for underwater rugby which gained appeal as a means of developing teamwork through non-verbal (非语言的) communication. I’d always loved the water, so I went along. I was greeted by an enthusiastic coach Bobby. He got me swimming lengths on the surface, then from the top to the bottom. On the other side of the pool, advanced players were having a session. That they scored goals underwater got me excited. Within weeks, I was playing matches. The sport was played in 3D, meaning you could pass the ball in any direction, even up and down, and opponents could come at you from anywhere. Tackles involved grabbing hold of someone to slow them down and trying to get the ball off them. Often, I’d be so engaged that I wouldn’t think about my breathing until I’d pushed myself too far. I’d then rapidly make my way to the surface for breath, hoping my teammates had taken possession. With each game, my lung capacity increased until I could hold my breath for a full minute while playing. We formed a team called the Raiders, and in November we went to Berlin to compete against teams from other countries. It was the first Australian men’s team and although we came second-last, we had so much fun. My teammates have become close friends. “I want to try it,” Jacob said when he saw how many new friends I had. The classes were inclusive for all levels, and he picked it up as he went. He loved it and because we were both out of the house more, we no longer got on each other’s nerves. There are now hundreds of people playing underwater rugby around Australia, ranging in age from 17 into their late 50s. So I encourage anyone who can to give it a try. 4.

A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won. This interesting court case raises many questions that there are currently no clear answers to, but that people should think about. Social media is extensively used. As many as one in every three people uses social media, and in the USA, people reportedly spend around 6 hours a day on it. In 2025, Facebook had over 3 billion users, followed by WhatsApp and Instagram with about 3 billion each. With such extensive use, it is not strange that social media addiction (SMA) has become a focus for many researchers. One initial research area is the potential classification of SMA. It is worth noting that the DSM-5, a diagnostic tool for psychologists, does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research. Thus, the conversations around SMA are not necessarily straightforward. However, within research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the heavy use of social media platforms which can lead to harmful life consequences. It also shares some components with behavioral disorders like gambling (赌博), including conflict, tolerance and withdrawal. Should social media be regulated (监管) by law? This is another difficult question. As more researchers agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, it should perhaps be managed to reduce potential risks — much like tobacco, alcohol, and gambling. The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in cinemas or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By citing a case. B. By giving a definition. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining a phenomenon. 9. What does the author say about SMA? A. It has unproven consequences. B. It is no different from gambling. C. It arises from social media overuse. D. It is clearly regarded as a mental illness. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards monitoring social media by law? A. Favorable. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Opposed. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Court Case: A Landmark Victory B. Legal Regulation: A Necessary Step C. Social Media Use: A Global Phenomenon D. Social Media Addiction: A Rising Concern D Listening to music while driving is a common habit for many people. It helps us stay awake, improves our mood, and makes long trips more enjoyable. Over 80% of drivers play music on most journeys, especially younger drivers who find it hard to concentrate without it. Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions. The results show that music can both help and harm driving performance. Overall, listening to music tends to lead to more simulated (模拟的) crashes, poorer speed control, and less stable following distances compared to driving in silence. However, music can temporarily help tired drivers stay alert on long, dull drives, though this effect fades after 15-25 minutes. Loud or fast-paced music is often thought to be risky, but research shows the picture is more complex. High volume tends to slightly increase speed, while low volume makes people drive more slowly. Fast music does not always make driving worse, but very energetic or aggressive songs can lead to riskier behaviour, especially for young or inexperienced drivers. Music that drivers choose themselves tends to be less distracting (分心的) than music they do not like, as it helps them stay calm and focused. Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers. In contrast, calm or slow music can help them stay more aware and respond better to dangers on the road. For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks. New drivers, in particular, may want to lower the volume or even turn off the music in difficult driving conditions. 12. How do most researchers study the effects of music on driving? A. By conducting experiments in driving simulators. B. By analyzing real car crash data involving music. C. By surveying drivers’ personal preferences for music. D. By measuring drivers’ physical health after long trips. 13. Which type of driver should be most cautious about listening to music while driving? A. Drivers who are feeling excited. B. Drivers with little driving experience. C. Drivers who prefer popular music. D. Drivers travelling long distances. 14. What is the safest practice for drivers regarding music? A. Listening to loud music on boring road trips. B. Enjoying fast music to keep the brain active. C. Choosing familiar songs at a medium volume. D. Letting the passengers choose the music to enjoy. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discourage drivers from listening to music. B. To explore the driving habits between different drivers. C. To criticize young drivers for their bad listening habits. D. To explain how music affects driving and offer advice. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For high school students, free time is a precious gift that should be cherished. ____16____ Many students fall into aimless scrolling through social media or end up feeling bored and unfulfilled. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can turn these spare moments into meaningful and rewarding time — one that enriches our lives, promotes personal growth, and brings us joy, not just keeps us busy with useless tasks. ____17____ For example, to improve English, you can plan to read one short English article or learn 10 new words every day. Specific goals not only avoid aimlessness but also give your spare time a clear direction and purpose. When you know exactly what you want to achieve, every minute counts.

At 16, I liked nothing better than driving our old truck, feeling the wind through the open window and the roar of the engine. But this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store. Sixteen is a prideful age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racial discrimination was still a fact of life in our small town. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner questioned whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were watched like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery. The memory of their embarrassed faces burned in my mind. My family was honest. We paid our debts. My parents worked from dawn to dusk, and we never took anything that wasn’t ours. But before harvest, cash was always short. The crops were still green in the fields, and every dollar had to stretch. Would the store owner trust us? My heart pounded as I parked the truck in front of Davis’s store, dust rising around the wheels. At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer I didn’t know. The air smelled of leather and feed. I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves, my hands slightly sweaty. I picked up the bunch of wire and added a few other supplies we needed. When I brought my purchases to the cash desk, I cleared my throat and said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.” The words felt heavy on my tongue. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
