D.Ashgabat B "Musab.I'm sending New Year greetings from the peak of the world!"This heartfelt message from a Tibetan friend reminded me of my unforgettable cultural journey to Xizang in 2024. My fascination began at Minzu University,where vibrant Tibetan dances every Friday night showcased the region's cultural beauty.Students in traditional attire (led the dance,their energy uniting participants from diverse backgrounds.These moments sparked my dream to dance atop the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. This dream came true through a university-organized trip.Arriving in Lhasa,I initially struggled with the 3,000-meter altitude but was deeply moved by the locals'warmth,which outweighed any physical discomfort.Their warmth made meaningful connections between us. The journey showed Tibet's rich culture through iconic sites like Potala Palace and bustling Barkhor Street.Tasting butter tea for the first time was amazing,offering new insight into Tibetan traditions.In Nudu Village,the head shared his vision for improving residents'livelihoods, highlighting regional progress. On my final night,I joined a Tibetan dance circle under the stars,drinking butter tea with new friends.This full-circle moment mirrored the dances back at university,fulfilling my dream while proving that human connections-not just landscapes-make travels truly special. 24.What initially inspired the author's interest in Tibetan culture? A.ANew Year message. B.Stories about butter tea. C.University dance gatherings D.Pictures of Potala Palace. 25.How did the author describe the Tibetan people's warmth? A.By focusing on medical assistance.B.By showing their dance instructions. C.By mentioning university friendships.D.By comparing it with altitude challenges. 26.Which experience gave the author new understanding of Tibetan culture? 英语试题第3页共8页 A.Tasting butter tea. B.Climbing mountains. C.Visiting Nudu Village. D.Meeting the trip organizers 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Overcoming Altitude Sickness:My Memorable Trip to Lhasa B.Butter Tea and Starry Nights:The Culinary Wonders of Tibet C.Experiencing Tibetan Traditions:Exploring Potala Palace and Barkhor Street D.A Cultural Journey to Tibet:From University Dances to Cultural Connections C At I'Brindellone,a restaurant in Florence,a dozen men and women gather around a long wooden table,deep in conversation about Sarah Winman's Still Life.On the walls hang photographs of the city's 1966 flood,when the River Aro burst its banks.The group point at the images excitedly.Winman once dined here,saw these same photos,and found the seed of her story. This literary circle of strangers is on a reading retreat-part of an evolving wave of holidays that put reading center stage.As a guide,I often witness scenes like this-moments when literature pours life into stone streets,and strangers become companions through shared stories. Not long ago,travel often meant racing through a checklist of famous sites.I watched tourists rush past in steady streams,capturing monuments with their cameras but rarely with their hearts.Many said they wanted to truly understand Florence-to talk about its culture in Piazza della Signoria or reflect on its history along the Arno-yet their tight schedules left little room for such depth. Recently,however,I've noticed a change.More travelers now look for connection-with places,with ideas,and with the authors they love-rather than simple checklist completion.One guest told me,"Travel is a time to invest in ourselves,not just rest.Walking the streets,seeing the landscapes and feeling the atmosphere of a novel's setting deepens my understanding of the story. A scene that was once only words on a page suddenly comes alive when I stand in the same light as the characters." As Jeanette Winterson beautifully wrote,"Books are like doors;when one opens,a new world waits."The best journeys,I have learned,can transform not only the path we walk,but also the eyes with which we see. 28.Why does the author mention the scene at I'Brindellone? A.To introduce a popular novel. B.To illustrate a new travel trend. C.To show the history of Florence. D.To recommend a local restaurant. 29.What can we leam about traditional tourism? A.It stimulates architectural interests.B.It discourages visitors'capturing monuments. C.It promotes the benefits of slow travel.D.It undervalues cultural explorations. 30.What does the guest's description reveal in paragraph 3? A.Place serves as a medium that activates textual meaning. B.Text provides a framework for understanding place C.Place and text are independent of each other D.Text loses its meaning without physical reference 31.What is the author's attitude towards reading retreats? A.Objective.B.Dismissive. C.Skeptical. D.Favorable. 英语试题第4页共8页 D From their doorstep in Altadena,California,Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest,flames bright against the distant mountains.Eleven years later,standing on the same spot,they witnessed the Bobcat Fire,one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County's history.Both times,their home survived. So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025,the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again."We couldn't imagine how the fire would even reach us,"Colleen recalled.But this time,their luck ran out.Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground.There they were,pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction. After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting,the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials,but with innovative prefabricated housing 装配式房屋).They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA.The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas,and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions. For the Warneskys,safety comes first.Their planned new home,built with glass,steel and concrete,is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation ()Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home,a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. "I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,"he said."We won't make that mistake again.” The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys'neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation.As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters,more families are turning to smarter housing options.Prefabricated homes,built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions,promise peace of mind-and for families like the Warneskys,a fresh start amid the ashes. 32.What can we leam about the Warneskys'home? A.It had been rebuilt for three times. B.It was built with fire-resistant materials. C.It was ruined in the third serious wildfire D.It was specially designed to watch wildfires. 33.Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to A.highlight their priority on safety B.criticize unsafe material choices C.recall meaningful past moments D.compare old and new housing styles 34.What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families? A.It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation. B.It motivates better connection with their community. C.It gives them greater understanding of the climate change. D.It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods. 35.What might be the best title for the passage? A.Climate Change Draws Communities Apart B.Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas C.Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes D.Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction 英语试题第5页共8页 Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast,totally unexplored land?For many travelers,this kind of exciting adventure is the ultimate escape from the routines of daily life.36 The journey begins with careful and thorough preparation.First,travelers must choose a suitable and practical route.Some prefer to follow well-marked paths that pass through famous scenic spots.37 No matter which route they take,packing the right and proper supplies is essential.Water,food,a first-aid kit and durable clothing are among the top priorities. Once on the road,the vast land unfolds its unique beauty and challenges.The landscape changes dramatically from one single day to the next.38 At night,the sky is filled with countless bright stars,creating a view that city residents rarely get to see.However,travelers also face unexpected difficulties,such as sudden weather changes and long stretches of empty land with no gas stations or restaurants. 39 They learn to read the clear signs of nature,such as the direction of the wind and the behavior of wild animals,to find their way and stay safe.They also develop a deep appreciation for the simple little things in life,like a clear stream to drink from or a warm campfire to gather around. At the end of the journey,travelers return home with more than just simple photos and souvenirs.40 This journey across a vast land is not just a physical experience but a spiritual one that changes their perspective on life forever. A.Others choose to take unknown roads to find new places B.They also get a refreshing feeling and a deep love for nature. C.It lets people get close to nature and understand the freedom. D.Good planning can help travelers avoid trouble and enjoy the trip. E.On the way travelers encounter diverse wildlife from deer to eagles F.People who like challenges can take the trip to test how far they can go. G.Travelers soon know they have to depend on their own skills and ideas. 三、完形填空 At nineteen,Holly set off to study abroad in Nancy,France,her heart full of excitement.Yet within weeks of arrival,that excitement 41 into loneliness.Daily life in a foreign land proved much harder than 42,especially when it came to speaking French."I could understand the language somewhat,but I was very poor at speaking it.My 43 was terrible.People couldn't understand me,"she said.The continuous 44 to be understood left her tired and sad.The only thing keeping her going was a(n)45 package from home.

Decades later,they still keep in touch."Her act of kindness has 53 my life,"Holly said."Now I pay more attention to people who need help,offering the same 54 I once received.I will be forever 55 that someone chose to help me when I needed it most." 英语试题第6页共8页 41.A.settled B.divided C.gathered D.faded 42.A.expected B.requested C. indicated D.maintained 43.A.translation B.manner C.pronunciation D.function 44.A.option B.struggle C.decision D.reflection 45.A.familiar B.neat C.odd D.commercial 46.A.deliver B.collect C.exchange D.recycle 47.A.relieved B.energetic C.disappointed D.fascinated 48.A.calm down B.carry on C.get through D.break down 49.A.rescue B.tension C.defence D.mission 50.A.launch B.continue C.end D.postpone 51.A.update B.practice C.complain D.whisper 52.A.truly B.occasionally C.sharply D.formally 53.A.saved B.controlled C.judged D.influenced 54.A.resource B.warmth C.suggestion D.respect 55.A.graceful B.regretful C.joyful D.grateful 四、语法填空 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。 With our already busy lives,finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our to do'list.So maybe it would help if there was 'a best time'to exercise?Could exercising at certain times help 56(maximum)our fitness goals?The answer is 'yes',but it's easier than you think,no matter who you are or when you like to work out. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning.Many of us have more free time compared to 57(late)in the day and it may therefore be easier for us to stick 58 a morning workout routine.A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that 59 (participate)who exercised in the morning,increased the physical activity throughout the day,were less distracted by food and slept better.Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could also burn more fat and increase metabolism,which 60 (mean) you'll continue to burn calories throughout the day.So good news for early birds,but what if you're not a morning person?Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits,just different 61.For example,your body's ability 62 (perform)peaks in the aftemoon,according to a 2010 study by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports.Also,in the afternoon and evening,your reaction time is 63(quick)and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest,64 reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change 65(depend)on whether you're a man or a woman? Our bodies are different after all,so the best time to exercise may be different too.A 2020 study from Skidmore College,New York,looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences.Want to reduce your blood pressure and you're a woman?Exercise in the morning.Want to improve your heart health and you're a man?Evening is better for you.But, ultimately,the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day.So what time is best?It seems the answer is whatever time is best for you! 英语试题第7页共8页 五、书面表达 66.Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 随着人工智能技术的飞速发展，越来越多的智能工具进入了我们的学习生活。有人认为这是 进步，也有人对此表示担忧。请根据下图写一篇作文，内容必须包括： 1描述图片中呈现的场景： 2结合图片，谈谈你对“人工智能代替人类学习”这一现象的看法及理由。 67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bloom at YouⅢr Own Pace Exam papers were handed out one after another and landed quietly on every desk.Staring at the red scores on my paper,I knew I failed to get the top rank.Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone's rankings slowly.Disappointment welled up inside me,and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away. I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings.I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day,arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects.I once fimmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future.This belief once motivated me greatly,yet endless pressure soon tired me out.I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness,and the top position always seemed impossible to reach. Feeling low,I left the classroom alone.The air was fresh with the smell of rain.I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library,which I had never taken time to visit before. An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care.Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (among green leaves.I couldn't help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile. Sensing my confusion,the old man smiled and began to chat with me.He told me that every flower has its own flowering time.Some blossom early,while others need more time to grow.As long as they get enough sunshine,water and proper care,they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes.Instead of rushing for results,we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady(稳步的)growth. 注意：(1)词数应为150个左右：(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Not sure1 hen they flower一isn't it upsetting?”I asked. From that day on,I decided to follow his advice-less hurrying,more growing. 英语试题第8页共8页 邹平一中高二期末检测 英语参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B B C C A C B A A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C A B C B C B B A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C B D C D A D B D A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D C A A B C A E G B 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 D A C B A B C D A C 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B A D B D 56．maximise/maximize 57．later 58．to 59．participants 60．means 61．ones 62．to perform 63．quickest 64．which 65．depend 66． The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Learning In the picture, a student is depicted sitting in front of a computer, utilizing artificial intelligence tools to assist with their studies, while traditional books lie abandoned nearby. This scene vividly portrays the increasing integration of AI into our educational environment. Personally, I believe that while artificial intelligence can be a valuable aid in learning, it should not replace human learning entirely. AI tools can provide instant answers and personalized learning experiences, which will enhance efficiency and engagement. However, they lack the ability to foster critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence, which are essential skills developed through human interaction and self-directed learning. Therefore, AI should be used as a supplement rather than a substitute for traditional learning methods, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive educational experience. 67．参考范文： “Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. “It makes every effort meaningful,” he replied calmly. “Flowers develop bit by bit every single day. Blooming is just a brief moment, while the whole process of growing matters far more.” His words sank deep into my heart. I recalled my blue mood over poor grades and those sleepless nights, realizing I was too eager to succeed and cared too much about final results so that I ignored steady progress and the value of effort itself. I thanked the gardener sincerely and left the garden with a peaceful and relaxed mind. From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. I adjusted my study state and made solid progress step by step instead of blindly chasing high rankings. When graduation finally arrived, I visited the garden again and saw countless flowers in full bloom. Soon afterwards, I received the admission notice from my target university. I realized I needn’t rush for success. As long as I keep moving forward steadily, I will surely shine in my own proper time. 答案第2页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $邹平一中高二期末检测 英语参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B 心 C C A C B A A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C A B C B C B B A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B D C D A D B D A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D C A A B C A E G B 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 D A Q B A B 0 A O 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B A 0 B D 56.maximise/maximize 57.later 58.to 59.participants 60.means 61.ones 62.to perform 63. quickest 64.which 65.depend 66, The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Learning In the picture,a student is depicted sitting in front of a computer,utilizing artificial intelligence tools to assist with their studies,while traditional books lie abandoned nearby.This scene vividly portrays the increasing integration of al into our educational environment.

I’m sending New Year greetings from the peak of the world!” This heartfelt message from a Tibetan friend reminded me of my unforgettable cultural journey to Xizang in 2024. My fascination began at Minzu University, where vibrant Tibetan dances every Friday night showcased the region’s cultural beauty. Students in traditional attire (服饰) led the dance, their energy uniting participants from diverse backgrounds. These moments sparked my dream to dance atop the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. This dream came true through a university-organized trip. Arriving in Lhasa, I initially struggled with the 3,000-meter altitude but was deeply moved by the locals’ warmth, which outweighed any physical discomfort. Their warmth made meaningful connections between us. The journey showed Tibet’s rich culture through iconic sites like Potala Palace and bustling Barkhor Street. Tasting butter tea for the first time was amazing, offering new insight into Tibetan traditions. In Nudu Village, the head shared his vision for improving residents’ livelihoods, highlighting regional progress. On my final night, I joined a Tibetan dance circle under the stars, drinking butter tea with new friends. This full-circle moment mirrored the dances back at university, fulfilling my dream while proving that human connections — not just landscapes — make travels truly special. 24．What initially inspired the author’s interest in Tibetan culture? A．A New Year message. B．Stories about butter tea. C．University dance gatherings. D．Pictures of Potala Palace. 25．How did the author describe the Tibetan people’s warmth? A．By focusing on medical assistance. B．By showing their dance instructions. C．By mentioning university friendships. D．By comparing it with altitude challenges. 26．Which experience gave the author new understanding of Tibetan culture? A．Tasting butter tea. B．Climbing mountains. C．Visiting Nudu Village. D．Meeting the trip organizers. 27．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Overcoming Altitude Sickness: My Memorable Trip to Lhasa B．Butter Tea and Starry Nights: The Culinary Wonders of Tibet C．Experiencing Tibetan Traditions: Exploring Potala Palace and Barkhor Street D．A Cultural Journey to Tibet: From University Dances to Cultural Connections C At I’Brindellone, a restaurant in Florence, a dozen men and women gather around a long wooden table, deep in conversation about Sarah Winman’s Still Life. On the walls hang photographs of the city’s 1966 flood, when the River Arno burst its banks. The group point at the images excitedly. Winman once dined here, saw these same photos, and found the seed of her story. This literary circle of strangers is on a reading retreat — part of an evolving wave of holidays that put reading center stage. As a guide, I often witness scenes like this — moments when literature pours life into stone streets, and strangers become companions through shared stories. Not long ago, travel often meant racing through a checklist of famous sites. I watched tourists rush past in steady streams, capturing monuments with their cameras but rarely with their hearts. Many said they wanted to truly understand Florence — to talk about its culture in Piazza della Signoria or reflect on its history along the Arno — yet their tight schedules left little room for such depth. Recently, however, I’ve noticed a change. More travelers now look for connection — with places, with ideas, and with the authors they love — rather than simple checklist completion. One guest told me, “Travel is a time to invest in ourselves, not just rest. Walking the streets, seeing the landscapes and feeling the atmosphere of a novel’s setting deepens my understanding of the story. A scene that was once only words on a page suddenly comes alive when I stand in the same light as the characters.” As Jeanette Winterson beautifully wrote, “Books are like doors; when one opens, a new world waits.” The best journeys, I have learned, can transform not only the path we walk, but also the eyes with which we see. 28．Why does the author mention the scene at I’Brindellone? A．To introduce a popular novel. B．To illustrate a new travel trend. C．To show the history of Florence. D．To recommend a local restaurant. 29．What can we learn about traditional tourism? A．It stimulates architectural interests. B．It discourages visitors’ capturing monuments. C．It promotes the benefits of slow travel. D．It undervalues cultural explorations. 30．What does the guest’s description reveal in paragraph 3？ A．Place serves as a medium that activates textual meaning. B．Text provides a framework for understanding place. C．Place and text are independent of each other. D．Text loses its meaning without physical reference. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards reading retreats? A．Objective. B．Dismissive. C．Skeptical. D．Favorable. D From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived. So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again. “We couldn’t imagine how the fire would even reach us,” Colleen recalled. But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. There they were, pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction. After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA．The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas, and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions. For the Warneskys, safety comes first. Their planned new home, built with glass, steel and concrete, is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation (植被). Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.” The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys’ neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation. As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes. 32．What can we learn about the Warneskys’ home? A．It had been rebuilt for three times. B．It was built with fire-resistant materials. C．It was ruined in the third serious wildfire. D．It was specially designed to watch wildfires. 33．Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to ______. A．highlight their priority on safety B．criticize unsafe material choices C．recall meaningful past moments D．compare old and new housing styles 34．What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families? A．It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation. B．It motivates better connection with their community. C．It gives them greater understanding of the climate change. D．It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods. 35．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Climate Change Draws Communities Apart B．Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas C．Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes D．Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast, totally unexplored land? For many travelers, this kind of exciting adventure is the ultimate escape from the routines of daily life. 36 The journey begins with careful and thorough preparation. First, travelers must choose a suitable and practical route. Some prefer to follow well-marked paths that pass through famous scenic spots. 37 No matter which route they take, packing the right and proper supplies is essential. Water, food, a first-aid kit and durable clothing are among the top priorities. Once on the road, the vast land unfolds its unique beauty and challenges. The landscape changes dramatically from one single day to the next. 38 At night, the sky is filled with countless bright stars, creating a view that city residents rarely get to see. However, travelers also face unexpected difficulties, such as sudden weather changes and long stretches of empty land with no gas stations or restaurants. 39 They learn to read the clear signs of nature, such as the direction of the wind and the behavior of wild animals, to find their way and stay safe. They also develop a deep appreciation for the simple little things in life, like a clear stream to drink from or a warm campfire to gather around. At the end of the journey, travelers return home with more than just simple photos and souvenirs. 40 This journey across a vast land is not just a physical experience but a spiritual one that changes their perspective on life forever. A．Others choose to take unknown roads to find new places. B．They also get a refreshing feeling and a deep love for nature. C．It lets people get close to nature and understand the freedom. D．Good planning can help travelers avoid trouble and enjoy the trip. E．On the way travelers encounter diverse wildlife from deer to eagles. F．People who like challenges can take the trip to test how far they can go. G．Travelers soon know they have to depend on their own skills and ideas. 三、完形填空 At nineteen, Holly set off to study abroad in Nancy, France, her heart full of excitement. Yet within weeks of arrival, that excitement 41 into loneliness. Daily life in a foreign land proved much harder than 42 , especially when it came to speaking French. “I could understand the language somewhat, but I was very poor at speaking it. My 43 was terrible. People couldn’t understand me,” she said. The continuous 44 to be understood left her tired and sad. The only thing keeping her going was a(n) 45 package from home. “Mother had sent my favorite food — something I couldn’t find in local shops.” She went to the post office to 46 it, but the clerk couldn’t understand her broken speech no matter how hard she tried. “The more I repeated myself, the more discouraged and 47 I felt. I was about to 48 in tears when a stranger came to my 49 .” A local woman asked in Holly’s own language, “Can I help you?” Then she spoke to the clerk, and within minutes, the package was in Holly’s hands. But the kindness didn’t 50 there. The woman invited Holly to her house for dinner. “It soon became our weekly habit. It was a safe place where I could 51 my French without fear. I 52 felt like I was at home there.” Decades later, they still keep in touch. “Her act of kindness has 53 my life,” Holly said. “Now I pay more attention to people who need help, offering the same 54 I once received.

So maybe it would help if there was ‘a best time’ to exercise? Could exercising at certain times help 56 (maximum) our fitness goals? The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think, no matter who you are or when you like to work out. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. Many of us have more free time compared to 57 (late) in the day and it may therefore be easier for us to stick 58 a morning workout routine. A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that 59 (participate) who exercised in the morning, increased the physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could also burn more fat and increase metabolism, which 60 (mean) you’ll continue to burn calories throughout the day. So good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different 61 . For example, your body’s ability 62 (perform) peaks in the afternoon, according to a 2010 study by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is 63 (quick) and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, 64 reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change 65 (depend) on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different after all, so the best time to exercise may be different too. A 2020 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? It seems the answer is : whatever time is best for you! 五、书面表达 66．Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 随着人工智能技术的飞速发展，越来越多的智能工具进入了我们的学习生活。有人认为这是进步，也有人对此表示担忧。请根据下图写一篇作文，内容必须包括： 1.描述图片中呈现的场景； 2.结合图片，谈谈你对“人工智能代替人类学习”这一现象的看法及理由。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bloom at Your Own Pace Exam papers were handed out one after another and landed quietly on every desk. Staring at the red scores on my paper, I knew I failed to get the top rank. Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone’s rankings slowly. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away. I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings. I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day, arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects. I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future. This belief once motivated me greatly, yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness, and the top position always seemed impossible to reach. Feeling low, I left the classroom alone. The air was fresh with the smell of rain. I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library, which I had never taken time to visit before. An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (开花) among green leaves. I couldn’t help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile. Sensing my confusion, the old man smiled and began to chat with me. He told me that every flower has its own flowering time. Some blossom early, while others need more time to grow. As long as they get enough sunshine, water and proper care, they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes. Instead of rushing for results, we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady (稳步的) growth. 注意：(1) 词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案第8页，共9页 英语试题 第1页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Will you go to hong kong on vacation this may day holiday?
