I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 4. What interested the author in the first paragraph? A. Finding a new route back home. B. Engaging himself in deep thinking. C. Moving forward in a different manner. D. Seeing his daughters off every morning. 5. What did the author realize on the way back home? A. We need to stay focused at work. B. We don’t need to live a rushed life. C. We should spend more time with family. D. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. 6. How did the author overcome the vision problem? A. He studied a set of new skills. B. He depended on his memory. C. He followed his sense of direction. D. He made full use of other senses. 7. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Childhood is the best part in life. B. It’s inspiring to reflect on the past. C. It’s important to find your self-value. D. One ought to learn to forgive himself. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇叙议结合的文章。文章通过作者倒着走路的经历，探讨了放慢生活节奏、依赖其他感官以及回顾过去的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.(我毫无缘由地开始倒着行走。当时正挥手向女儿们道别，突然心血来潮想后退几步。既然已经开了头，我索性决定就这么倒着走回家。毕竟，这种通过后退实现前进的矛盾感既引人入胜又值得玩味。)”可知，作者对以一种不同的方式前进感兴趣。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere.(在这个不同的速度下，生活本身相比之下显得很匆忙。我们总是急于到达某个地方，这真是太傻了。)”可知，作者觉得人们总是急于到达某个地方太傻了，可得出作者意识到我们不需要过一种匆忙的生活。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.(下一件事与视觉有关。在正常的行走中，前方的道路总是可见的。在这里，你使用其他感官：你听到汽车靠近的声音，你感觉到地面的不平整，你注意到雪的硬度的变化。)”可知，作者通过充分利用其他感官来克服视觉问题。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.(我很快意识到一些显而易见的事情：我最喜欢的道路是我已经走过的那条。我突然意识到，这是看待生活的正确方式：朝着一个目的地前进，而不要忘记你去过哪里，也不要忘记你走了多远。回顾总是有利于自我价值。当你回顾昨天的时候，你会感觉好多了：因为那场没有夺去你生命的疾病，或者那些仍然让你微笑的快乐童年。)”可知，作者认为回顾过去是很有启发性的。故选B项。 C In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality? The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places. The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy. Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops. While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him. Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core. 8. What is special about the rice shoots? A. Their colours vary with growth. B. They grow better at high places. C. They are created by famous artists. D. Their designs are meant for movies. 9. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4? A. It is cost-effective. B. It is time-saving. C. It is weather-dependent. D. It is cooperation-based. 10. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Gaining popularity. B. Making profits. C. Celebrating traditions. D. Boosting confidence. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. More Harmonious, More Artistic B. When Rice Grows with Artistry C. How Tourism Affects Rice Growing D. Modern Tech, Modern Farming 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了稻田艺术的创作原理、起源与发展、创作过程、社会价值和影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life.(秘诀就在秧苗里。随着不同品种的植物生长，每一种植物逐渐变成不同的颜色，从绿色到紫色或金色，使艺术品栩栩如生)”可知，秧苗颜色随着生长而变化。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.(创造这样的艺术并非易事。首先要进行周密的规划：艺术家们绘制详细的蓝图，准确地绘制出每种水稻的种植位置。然后，农民和志愿者并肩工作，按照计划精心种植水稻苗。几个月来，田地需要不断的照料——除草、浇水和保护庄稼)”可知，稻田艺术创作基于集体协作，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词前一句“While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan.”讲述了虽然Inakadate仍是稻田艺术的发源地，但如今这种艺术形式已广泛传播至日本各地。再根据划线短语所在句的“The practice is also becoming all the ragein other countries.”中的also，可知此处是说明稻田艺术也开始在其他国家流行起来。故划线词意思是“逐渐流行”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks.(在日本的中心地带，一望无际的绿色稻田像一张活毯一样把风景描绘成一片，一种非凡的艺术形式出现了——稻田艺术，一种把普通的农田变成色彩缤纷的艺术品的做法)”以及这篇文章主要介绍了传统农业与创新艺术相融合的稻田艺术，故B选项“当水稻种植融入艺术匠心之时”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D With a surface hot enough to melt lead in its atmosphere, Venus has been described as “Earth’s evil twin” — similar in size, yet worlds apart. The question of whether Venus was ever habitable has long been a hot topic among scientists. Some astronomers believe the planet was once much more hospitable, but a recent research by Tereza Constantinou, a PhD student from the University of Cambridge, has now dealt a blow to the idea that it ever hosted life as we know it. Constantinou noted that early in the formation of Venus, the planet was covered in a vast sea of magma (岩浆). If this cooled quickly, water would form oceans or be trapped as it crystallised (结晶), meaning the planet’s interior (内部) would be water-rich. As a result, water would be released when volcanoes erupt. “If you look at any photos of volcanism on Earth, you can see these large clouds coming out. Most of that is water,” said Constantinou. But if the magma cooled slowly, water would have ended up as steam in the atmosphere. In this situation, water would not be trapped inside the interior of the planet. Constantinou and his colleagues studied changes in the Venusian atmosphere to cast light on the water content of its interior. When they analysed the amount of substances being refilled, they found very little water was being added. In other words, volcanic eruptions are “dry”. “The shortage of water in volcanic release reflects an equally dry Venusian interior,” said Constantinou. The team announced that their findings did not support the theory that Venus had surface oceans of water in its past, or a habitable climate. Their conclusion could soon be tested. Later this decade, NASA is set to launch a mission to carry out fly-bys of Venus. Constantinou said resolving the question could help astronomers rule out Venus as a habitable planet now that the dry interior of Venus suggests it never has the oceans of liquid water traditionally thought necessary for life to begin. 12. What is the finding of the recent research? A. Venus is Earth’s identical twin. B. Venus sets the whole world apart. C. Venus was unlikely to sustain life. D. Venus was more habitable than thought. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly talking about concerning the research? A. Its methods. B. Its procedures. C. Its potential impact. D. Its theoretical foundation. 14. How did Constantinou and his colleagues draw their conclusion? A. By analysing the changes of water content. B. By studying the properties of substances. C. By investigating the components of water. D. By examining the differences of volcanoes. 15. What can the finding be used to do according to Constantinou? A. Carry out more fly-bys. B. Identify upcoming threats. C. Conduct Venus observations. D. Narrow down astronomers’ search. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了金星虽与地球大小相似却环境恶劣，其是否宜居存争议。剑桥大学康斯坦丁努团队研究发现，金星内部缺水、火山喷发“干燥”，不支持其曾有地表水和宜居气候的说法，NASA未来探测或验证结论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Some astronomers believe the planet was once much more hospitable, but a recent research by Tereza Constantinou, a PhD student from the University of Cambridge, has now dealt a blow to the idea that it ever hosted life as we know it.(一些天文学家认为，这颗行星曾经更加宜居，但剑桥大学博士生特蕾莎·康斯坦丁努最近的一项研究现在却给这一观点泼了一盆冷水，即它曾经确实存在过我们所理解的生命)”可知，最近的研究得出的结论是金星不太可能存在生命。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Constantinou noted that early in the formation of Venus, the planet was covered in a vast sea of magma (岩浆). If this cooled quickly, water would form oceans or be trapped as it crystallised (结晶), meaning the planet’s interior (内部) would be water-rich. As a result, water would be released when volcanoes erupt. “If you look at any photos of volcanism on Earth, you can see these large clouds coming out. Most of that is water,” said Constantinou. But if the magma cooled slowly, water would have ended up as steam in the atmosphere. In this situation, water would not be trapped inside the interior of the planet.(康斯坦丁努指出，在金星形成初期，该行星表面覆盖着一片巨大的岩浆海洋。如果这些岩浆迅速冷却，水就会形成海洋或者在结晶过程中被封存起来，这意味着金星的内部会富含水分。因此，当火山喷发时，水就会被释放出来。康斯坦丁努说：“如果你看地球上的火山活动照片，就会看到这些巨大的喷出物。其中大部分就是水。”但如果岩浆冷却速度缓慢，那么其中所含的水分就会在大气中以蒸汽的形式存在。在这种情况下，水就不会被困在行星的内部了)”可知，第二段主要是关于这项研究的理论基础。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Constantinou and his colleagues studied changes in the Venusian atmosphere to cast light on the water content of its interior. When they analysed the amount of substances being refilled, they found very little water was being added.(康斯坦丁努及其同事研究了金星大气层的变化，以探究其内部的水含量情况。在分析物质补充量时，他们发现补充的水非常少)”可知，康斯坦丁努和他的同事们通过分析水分含量的变化情况得出他们的结论。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Constantinou said resolving the question could help astronomers rule out Venus as a habitable planet now that the dry interior of Venus suggests it never has the oceans of liquid water traditionally thought necessary for life to begin.(康斯坦丁努表示，解决这一问题有助于天文学家排除金星作为宜居行星的可能性。因为金星内部干燥，这表明金星从未拥有过传统上认为是生命起源所必需的液态水海洋)”可知，根据康斯坦丁努的观点，这一发现可以用于缩小天文学家的搜索范围。故选D。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Food Technology is a vital subject but has fallen out of favour in recent years, overshadowed by “academic” subjects. ____16____ As a Food Technology teacher, I firmly believe that the time has come to reinvent it Engaging students in Food Technology can help shape practical problem-solving skills, enabling them to make more informed choices about their diets.

D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者的儿子身患残疾，一家人前往嘉年华时，作者对游乐工作人员心存偏见。一名工作人员善意赠送玩偶，让作者满怀愧疚，也懂得切勿凭片面认知揣测他人。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：由于不能独立行走，他依靠轮椅作为他的主要的出行方式。A. support支持；B. treat治疗；C. means方式，手段；D. comfort安慰，舒适。根据上文“Unable to walk independently”可知，由于不能独立行走，他依靠轮椅作为他的主要出行方式。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：他不能说话，但会发出一些声音，这样我们就能知道他是否感觉良好。A. tell分辨，判断；B. prove证明；C. doubt怀疑；D. predict预测。根据句意以及上文“He can’t talk, but makes enough noises”可知，克里斯托弗不会说话，但能发出声音，父母通过这些声音判断他是否身体舒适。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为残疾孩子的家长，我感到无助，不得不接受人们因他的外表而对他做出不当反应的事实。A. innocent无辜的，天真的；B. fearful害怕的；C. impatient不耐烦的；D. helpless无助的。根据上文“Being the parent of a disabled child”可知，作为残疾孩子的父母，面对他人因孩子外貌而做出的不恰当反应，作者感到无能为力，只能被迫接受。“helpless”最能体现这种无力感。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：作为残疾孩子的家长，我感到无助，不得不接受人们因他的外表而对他做出不当反应的事实。A. react反应；B. relate联系，讲述；C. submit提交，屈服；D. turn转向，转动。根据句意以及下文“inappropriately to him because of his looks”可知，此处指人们因为克里斯托弗的外貌而对他做出不恰当的反应。固定搭配“react to sb./sth.”表示“对某人/某事做出反应”。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：傍晚时分，我和妻子推着他穿过游戏区走向出口。A. watching观看；B. lifting举起，抬起；C. pushing推；D. driving驾驶。根据句意以及上文“him through the game area to the exit”可知，前文提到克里斯托弗依赖轮椅出行，因此父母是推着轮椅带他穿过游戏区走向出口。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：我们刻意躲开那些拉着我们玩游戏的嘉年华工作人员。A. forcing强迫；B. challenging挑战，劝说参与；C. demanding要求；D. instructing指导，指示。根据下文“us to play games”可知，工作人员想劝说人们参与游戏。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我们加快步伐时，我们听到一个家伙喊道：“嘿！等等！”A. game游戏；B. courage勇气；C. order命令，订单；D. pace步伐，速度。根据语境以及下文“we heard one guy calling, “Hey!

Wait a minute!””提到工作人员喊 “嘿！等一下！”，因此作者回头看到他正追着他们跑过来。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：他递给我们一个我们从未拥有的毛绒玩具。A. needed需要；B. loved喜爱；C. owned拥有；D. collected收集。根据下文“We explained that another child must have dropped it.”可知，作者夫妇解释说这个毛绒玩具一定是别的孩子掉的，说明他们从未拥有过这个玩具。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：他给了我一个意味深长的眼神，说道：“我肯定这是你儿子的。”然后把它放在我们儿子的腿上。A. wondering疑惑的；B. knowing会意的，心知肚明的；C. puzzled困惑的；D. surprised惊讶的。根据语境以及下文“I’m sure this belongs to your son”可知，工作人员其实是故意将玩具送给克里斯托弗，所以他给了作者一个会意的眼神，坚持说玩具是儿子的。“knowing look” 是常用表达，意为“会意的眼神”。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：时间仿佛凝固了，我意识到刚刚发生了什么。A. dragged拖，拉；B. pressed按压，逼迫；C. flew飞，飞逝；D. froze冻结，凝固。根据语境以及下文“as I realized what had just happened”可知，当作者突然明白工作人员的善意时，内心受到极大触动，感觉时间仿佛凝固了。“time froze”是生动的表达，准确描述了这种瞬间的震撼。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我感到很内疚，因为我对狂欢节工作人员有着先入为主的偏见，认为他们只关心销售业绩。A. childish幼稚的；B. guilty愧疚的，有罪的；C. responsible有责任的；D. sensitive敏感的。根据下文“because of my preconceptions about carnival workers, believing that they were only interested in sales”可知，作者之前对嘉年华工作人员抱有偏见，认为他们只关心销售，现在意识到自己错了，因此感到愧疚。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而这个家伙却给克里斯托弗送了一份礼物。A. clue线索；B. gift礼物；C. reward奖励；D. lesson教训。根据上文“He held out a stuffed animal we’d never ________.”可知，工作人员将毛绒玩具送给克里斯托弗，这是一份礼物。虽然这件事给了作者一个教训，但此处指的是给克里斯托弗的物品。 【34题详解】 考查副词。句意：那只小小的毛绒玩具明显地放在克里斯托弗的房间里，默默地提醒着我，不应该基于对他人不完整的了解就妄下结论。A. noticeably显眼地，明显地；B. 自由地；C. secretly秘密地；D. temporarily暂时地。根据句意以及下文“…Christopher’s room to be a wordless reminder”可知，这个毛绒玩具对作者一家有着特殊的意义，因此被显眼地放在 克里斯托弗的房间里，作为无声的提醒。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：那只小小的毛绒玩具明显地放在克里斯托弗的房间里，默默地提醒着我，不应该基于对他人不完整的了解就妄下结论。A. surveys调查；B. memory记忆；C. standards标准；D. knowledge了解，知识。根据句意以及上文“I shouldn’t jump to conclusions based on…”可知，作者反思自己不应该基于对他人不完整的了解就仓促下结论。 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。 For more than 150 years, Chinese cuisine has been integrated into the fabric of American dining — often represented by dishes like fried rice, egg roll and General Tso’s chicken. Today, Zhao Yong’s Junzi Kitchen is reimagining how Americans experience Chinese food, ____36____ (offer) traditional home-style dishes through a modern fast-casual style. In 2015, Zhao opened the first Junzi Kitchen in New Haven, Connecticut. ____37____ began as a single storefront has since grown into a nine-location operation. “For many Americans, Chinese food means takeout,” Zhao said. “We want to show that there’s so much more for customers ____38____ (discover).” Junzi Kitchen highlights comforting, everyday Chinese dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes and beef shank soup. “These dishes may seem ordinary to Chinese people, but for diners ____39____ understanding of Chinese cuisine has been limited to ‘American Chinese food’, they feel fresh and excited,” Zhao explained. Junzi Kitchen has adapted its kitchen operations and service model to fit American dining habits ____40____ abandoning tradition. Customers build their meals by choosing ____41____ base of rice or noodles, adding sauces, selecting a protein like braised beef or pork meatballs, and finishing with vegetables. This combination of ____42____ (convenient) and cooking tradition has been popular with customers. A diner once ____43____ (write) online, “The beef shank is always perfectly cooked. I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for Junzi.” By bringing this concept to the US, a country ____44____ (shape) by cultural diversity, Zhao hopes Junzi Kitchen can present a modern and ____45____ (include) vision of Chinese culture. 【答案】36. offering 37. What 38. to discover 39. whose 40. without 41. a 42. convenience 43. wrote 44. shaped 45. inclusive 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述赵勇创办Junzi Kitchen，以现代快餐模式重塑美国人对中国美食的文化体验。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，赵勇的Junzi Kitchen正在重新构想美国人体验中餐的方式，通过现代休闲快餐风格提供传统家常菜。主句已有谓语动词is reimagining，空处需用非谓语动词；offer“提供”与其逻辑主语Junzi Kitchen之间是主动关系，用现在分词offering作伴随状语。 【37题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：从一个单店面起步，如今已发展为拥有九家门店的连锁店。空处引导主语从句，从句缺主语，表示“……的事物”，故填连接代词what，句首单词首字母大写。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：赵说：“我们想向顾客展示，还有更多值得他们去探索的东西。”根据固定句型“There is + sth. + for sb. + to do”可知，空处需用动词discover“发现”的不定式形式作后置定语。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：赵解释道：“这些菜对中国人来说很普通，但对于那些对中国菜的理解仅限于‘美式中餐’的食客来说，它们既新鲜又令人兴奋。”空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词是diners，且在从句中作understanding的定语，表示“食客们的”，故用关系代词whose引导该从句。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：Junzi Kitchen在不放弃传统的前提下，调整了其厨房运营和服务模式以适应美国的用餐习惯。根据“adapted its kitchen operations and service model to fit American dining habits”和“abandoning tradition”之间的转折关系可知，此处表示“在没有抛弃传统的情况下”，用介词without“没有”。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：顾客通过选择米饭或面条作为基底来搭配餐点，添加酱料，挑选如红烧牛肉或猪肉丸之类的蛋白质，最后加上蔬菜。base是可数名词，此处表示泛指“一种基底”，且为辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种便利与烹饪传统的结合深受顾客欢迎。根据空前介词of可知，空处需用名词作宾语，convenient的名词形式是convenience“便利”。 【43题详解】 考查时态。句意：一位食客曾在网上写道：“牛腱肉总是煮得恰到好处。我通常不写评论，但我必须为Junzi写一条。”根据时间状语once可知，此处描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，谓语动词write的过去式为wrote。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过把这一概念带到美国这个被文化多样性塑造的国家，赵勇希望Junzi Kitchen能呈现出中国文化现代且包容的一面。country与shape“塑造”之间是被动关系，用过去分词shaped作后置定语。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意同上。根据空前and连接的形容词modern可知，空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词vision，include的形容词形式是inclusive，表示“包容的”。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节(满分 15 分) 46. 假定你是李华，针对近期部分学生依赖AI完成英文写作任务的现象，外教Jason拟发布一条规定：禁用AI写作，请给Jason写封邮件，内容包括： (1)你对此规定的看法； (2)结合自身经历说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jason, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jason, I’m writing to express my support for your proposed rule of banning AI in English writing tasks. Personally, I am strongly in favor of this decision. While AI tools can generate essays quickly, relying on them hinders our language learning. Take my experience as an example. I once used AI to complete a writing assignment. Although I got a good grade, I found myself struggling to express ideas independently in the following exam. It was then that I realized true writing skills can only be acquired through independent practice. Therefore, your rule will definitely encourage us to improve our writing abilities genuinely. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】题目要求李华给外教Jason写邮件，表达对禁用AI完成写作规定的看法，并结合自身经历说明理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 依赖：rely on → depend on 阻碍：hinder → hamper 获得：acquire → gain/obtain 提高：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Therefore, your rule will definitely encourage us to improve our writing abilities genuinely. 拓展句：Therefore, the rule that you have made will definitely encourage us students to improve our writing abilities in a genuine way. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although I got a good grade, I found myself struggling to express ideas independently in the following exam.

He had read the guidebooks and even learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight. On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. “No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you. “Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK?” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze, looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 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。 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive last night?” Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends. “We didn’t mean to be aggressive. It’s our way of valuing the friendship with you,” he added softly. Mark suddenly realized it was a cultural misunderstanding, not disrespect or looking down on him. He felt guilty and apologized for his rudeness the night before. Li Wei patted his shoulder warmly, saying it was no big deal and they all understood his habit. Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. This time, Mark planned ahead. After the delicious meal, he playfully blocked Li Wei and Director Zhang before they could stand up, saying with a smile, “As your friend and colleague, let me treat you today — it’s my turn to show my sincerity!” The two laughed warmly and no longer insisted. They chatted happily over tea, with no awkwardness left. Mark deeply realized that respecting local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds. The dinner ended with cheerful laughter, a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western cultures. 【解析】 【导语】本文以文化差异为线索，讲述了来自芝加哥的软件工程师马克到成都主持联合项目，邀请同事李伟和张主任吃火锅庆祝项目完成，因习惯AA制，与坚持请客的同事产生冲突，虽强行AA却心生失落的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“第二天，马克问李伟：‘你和张主任昨晚为什么那么强势？’”可知，本段可聚焦文化误解的深度化解，通过李伟阐释“请客是根深蒂固的传统，是表达尊重、好客与真诚的方式”，补充文化内涵；再以马克心生愧疚、主动道歉，李伟暖心释怀的细节，强化情感转折，彻底消除前一晚的尴尬，为下文跨文化融合铺垫，紧扣原文核心冲突。 ② 由第二段首句“几周后，为庆祝另一个项目完工，三人一起去吃饺子。”可知，本段围绕跨文化融合与情谊深化展开，通过马克“提前谋划、俏皮阻止同事、主动请客并表达诚意”的细节，体现他对中式习俗的主动接纳与尊重；以“餐后愉快闲聊、无任何尴尬”的场景，凸显理解带来的和谐，最终点明“尊重习俗是跨文化情谊的关键”，完成从“冲突”到“交融”的主题升华。 2. 续写线索：马克主动询问原因——李伟阐释中式请客的深层文化内涵——马克愧疚道歉——李伟暖心释怀、误会消解——再次聚餐前马克提前谋划——主动请客表达诚意——同事欣然接受、氛围融洽——领悟跨文化尊重的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify ②道歉：apologize/make an apology ③阻止：block/prevent ④珍视：value/cherish 情感类 ①温和地：gently/mildly ②愉快的：cheerful/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1]Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends.(运用that引导宾语从句和动名词短语作主语) [高分句型2]Mark deeply realized that respecting local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds.(运用that引导宾语从句和动名词短语作宾语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 姓名 准考证号 座位号 2025-2026学年第二学期高三第七次模拟考试 英 语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号填写在本试卷上。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 4. What interested the author in the first paragraph? A. Finding a new route back home. B. Engaging himself in deep thinking. C. Moving forward in a different manner. D. Seeing his daughters off every morning. 5. What did the author realize on the way back home? A. We need to stay focused at work. B. We don’t need to live a rushed life. C. We should spend more time with family. D. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. 6. How did the author overcome the vision problem? A. He studied a set of new skills. B. He depended on his memory. C. He followed his sense of direction. D. He made full use of other senses. 7. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Childhood is the best part in life. B. It’s inspiring to reflect on the past. C. It’s important to find your self-value. D. One ought to learn to forgive himself. C In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality? The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places. The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy. Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops. While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him. Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core. 8. What is special about the rice shoots? A. Their colours vary with growth. B. They grow better at high places. C. They are created by famous artists. D. Their designs are meant for movies. 9.

Modern Tech, Modern Farming D With a surface hot enough to melt lead in its atmosphere, Venus has been described as “Earth’s evil twin” — similar in size, yet worlds apart. The question of whether Venus was ever habitable has long been a hot topic among scientists. Some astronomers believe the planet was once much more hospitable, but a recent research by Tereza Constantinou, a PhD student from the University of Cambridge, has now dealt a blow to the idea that it ever hosted life as we know it. Constantinou noted that early in the formation of Venus, the planet was covered in a vast sea of magma (岩浆). If this cooled quickly, water would form oceans or be trapped as it crystallised (结晶), meaning the planet’s interior (内部) would be water-rich. As a result, water would be released when volcanoes erupt. “If you look at any photos of volcanism on Earth, you can see these large clouds coming out. Most of that is water,” said Constantinou. But if the magma cooled slowly, water would have ended up as steam in the atmosphere. In this situation, water would not be trapped inside the interior of the planet. Constantinou and his colleagues studied changes in the Venusian atmosphere to cast light on the water content of its interior. When they analysed the amount of substances being refilled, they found very little water was being added. In other words, volcanic eruptions are “dry”. “The shortage of water in volcanic release reflects an equally dry Venusian interior,” said Constantinou. The team announced that their findings did not support the theory that Venus had surface oceans of water in its past, or a habitable climate. Their conclusion could soon be tested. Later this decade, NASA is set to launch a mission to carry out fly-bys of Venus. Constantinou said resolving the question could help astronomers rule out Venus as a habitable planet now that the dry interior of Venus suggests it never has the oceans of liquid water traditionally thought necessary for life to begin. 12. What is the finding of the recent research? A. Venus is Earth’s identical twin. B. Venus sets the whole world apart. C. Venus was unlikely to sustain life. D. Venus was more habitable than thought. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly talking about concerning the research? A. Its methods. B. Its procedures. C. Its potential impact. D. Its theoretical foundation. 14. How did Constantinou and his colleagues draw their conclusion? A. By analysing the changes of water content. B. By studying the properties of substances. C. By investigating the components of water. D. By examining the differences of volcanoes. 15. What can the finding be used to do according to Constantinou? A. Carry out more fly-bys. B. Identify upcoming threats. C. Conduct Venus observations. D. Narrow down astronomers’ search. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Food Technology is a vital subject but has fallen out of favour in recent years, overshadowed by “academic” subjects. ____16____ As a Food Technology teacher, I firmly believe that the time has come to reinvent it Engaging students in Food Technology can help shape practical problem-solving skills, enabling them to make more informed choices about their diets. But Food Technology must evolve to meet the demands of the modern age. _____17_____ Instead, a modern food tech program must be reflective of current culinary (烹饪的) innovations. We need a curricula (课程) that emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients, and international cuisines. In an era when students can show off their recipes via social media, we can also seize the opportunity to introduce technology into our food tech classes. Beyond being tools for accessing information, digital platforms have the potential to enhance our culinary instruction techniques. We can task students with developing their own meal-planning apps. ____18____ In my reimagined Food Technology classes, inclusivity would play a further crucial role. We now live in a multicultural society, where food practices vary widely. By celebrating diverse traditions, we can teach students about nutrition from a range of cultural perspectives. ____19____ It’s important that students learn to respect and celebrate the differences that food represents. Such an approach would not only help to build their understanding and empathy, but also to enrich and expand their culinary horizons and fuel their interest in trying new foods. ____20____ Who knows — we might well end up with classrooms full of future chefs, health advocates and food scientists, all eager to come up with their own solutions to the world’s culinary challenges. A. Cooking can bridge differences. B. Each dish tells a unique cultural story. C. Or we can engage them in interactive cooking lessons. D. Gone, after all, are the days of simply boiling cabbage. E. Yet there is a growing awareness of diet-related health issues. F. To achieve that, however, we’ll need more passionate educators. G.

He had read the guidebooks and even learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight. On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. “No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you. “Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK?” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze, looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 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。 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
