He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family. Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends, he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business. Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business. “The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it. In 2019, Andy met his new business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future. When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.” 4．Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age? A．Because he could earn some pocket money. B．Because his parents weren’t fluent in English. C．Because his parents could help with his study. D．Because he could get access to the Internet. 5．What does paragraph 3 talk about? A．A new online business model. B．Results of working impatiently. C．Difficulties in Andy’s career. D．Andy’s tense family relationship. 6．What does Andy think contributes to his success? A．His part-time job experience in retail. B．Lessons learned from his failures. C．Gaining other people’s trust. D．Focusing on one thing at a time. 7．Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality? A．Motivated and open-minded. B．Committed and generous. C．Creative and faithful. D．Hard-working and sociable. C You will probably spot people showing their shiny lives online: sunsets during vacations, perfectly delicate meals, and broad smiles in photos. People prepare those carefully to make themselves look successful or happy. But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life. Psychologists say this rift of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others. It makes the line between “show” and “real life” unclear, and soon we may not know which “you” is real. As you age, the pressure to “perform” online gets stronger. Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be a “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says. Recent studies prove this constant switching makes teens 40% more anxious since it’s definitely hard for them to have one steady identity. Worse still, this “show” doesn’t stop when you switch off the app. If you spend years acting like a “happy person” online, you start comparing your real life to that. Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures. The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option. 8．What does the underlined word “rift” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Recognition. B．Exposure. C．Distinction. D．Consistency. 9．Why does the author mention Randy? A．To indicate a tendency among teens. B．To demonstrate her struggle on social media. C．To show the Internet’s negative effect on teens. D．To display her ways of balancing her life. 10．Why did Maria cancel her Facebook account? A．She wanted to protect her privacy. B．Her life got disturbed by ill comments. C．Her online posts mismatched her real life. D．She had little time to record her daily life. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Show off Yourself, Say Hi to Website. B．Real You Affect Your Online Image. C．Online Posts Mirror True Selves. D．Masks Online, Selves Offline. D Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 12．How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A．By stating a reason. B．By providing statistics. C．By defining a concept. D．By giving examples. 13．What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A．Less food supply. B．Restricted movement. C．Increased predators. D．Species extinction. 14．What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A．Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B．Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C．Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D．Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advocate reducing traffic. B．To preserve wildlife diversity. C．To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D．To highlight roadkill danger to animals. (七选五） For the past five years, chef and author Samin Nosrat has been doing something that, for many can feel impossible. She’s kept up a weekly dinner with friends. 16 . But over time, the dinner—held every Monday night for about 10 guests at a friend’s house—has become one of the most meaningful activities in all of their lives.

He’d gained a dozen fish. “Not a bad day’s work,” Bell thought to himself, drying his hands on his shirt — until a sharp scream cut through the lake’s calm, echoing from about 50 yards offshore. Bell’s smile disappeared. He started the engine of his boat and raced toward the scene, where a boy came into view, crying crazily for help. “My goodness!” thought Bell. “He’s drowning!” Bell’s mind raced. He leaned over the boat’s edge, grabbed the boy’s wrists, and pulled him with all his strength out of the water and onto the deck (甲板). As he looked at the unconscious teenager lying on the deck of his boat, he thought, “The kid’s gone!” A wave of desperation washed over Bell — until his recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course. His eyes fixed on the kid’s pale face, and he began pressing his chest, his movements firm and rhythmic, just as he’d memorized. Within seconds, the kid’s lips parted, and he coughed out a lot of water. “He’s back!” thought Bell, watching his face regain its color. The boy was alive. Once they reached the shore, an ambulance — called by onlookers — was waiting. The boy was rushed to the hospital immediately. This incident drew great attention in the small town, and the media soon flocked to cover it. Reporters came to take photos and named Bell a “quick-thinking savior.” However, he was uncomfortable with the praise, telling his wife, “I’m not a hero. I just did what I needed to do.” “You are a hero,” she corrected him. “You saved someone’s life.” The “hero” label still sat awkwardly on Bell. He was relieved to slip back into his routine — driving his truck — with the lake rescue fading into a distant memory until six weeks later. That day, as he was driving, he spotted a cloud of smoke pouring from a burning car, and the driver was shouting for help. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Without any hesitation, Bell pulled over and hurried to the car. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, the rescued driver together with reporters came to Bell’s house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2027届第二学期期末试题 参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 D B A B C D A C A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 D D B C C D F B C G 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C B B D A A D C A B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 B A A D C 36．where 37．a 38．recently 39．educational 40．be introduced 41．benefits 42．The 43．learned/learnt 44．and 45．to be 46．【参考范文】 One possible version: Dear Sarah, Recently, in our psychology class, we learned about the importance of parent-child relationships in individual growth. Knowing your keen interest in understanding diverse cultures and psychology, I think you might be interested in a lecture on this topic. The lecture is scheduled for this Friday at 3:00 pm in the main hall of the City Cultural Center. The speaker will talk about parent-child relationships, its implications on mental health, and its everlasting impact on individual personalities. I genuinely believe this will be a beneficial experience for you. I hope you can make it. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 47．【参考范文】       Without any hesitation, Bell pulled over and hurried to the car. The flames were already licking the door, and thick black smoke was pouring out of the window, making the driver cough violently and struggle to breathe. Bell didn’t think twice, grabbed a heavy stone nearby, smashed the window with all his strength, and pulled the driver out of the burning car just as the car’s front seat caught fire. He quickly patted the driver’s back to help him spit out smoke and calm him down patiently until the fire truck and ambulance arrived. Once again, he gently declined the driver’s eager thanks, saying softly, “Anyone would do the same in this situation.”       A week later, the rescued driver together with reporters came to Bell’s house. The driver held a sincere thank-you letter and a small gift, repeatedly expressing his deep gratitude for saving his life. Reporters gathered around, asking Bell why he always acted bravely without hesitation. Smiling gently, Bell said, “I just remember how desperate it feels to be in danger — helping others is not heroism, but the most basic kindness we should have.” His plain words touched everyone present, and the small town finally understood: true heroism lies in humility and a warm, kind heart. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
