They wrote numbers in columns（列，行，栏） going up. The bottom row（排） was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot（点） for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots. The number 1209 (three 400s + no 20s + nine 1s) would look like this: A Maya village might keep a record of the pumpkins they harvested like this: The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked. The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year). When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.” This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar. Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars. 21. How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure 3? A. 114. B. 409. C. 414. D. 439. 22. What could the “long count” calendar be used for? A. Marking the unlucky days. B. Recording ancient events. C. Dividing the year into 18 months. D. Predicting and making future plans. 23. Which learning project would this text be most suitable for? A. Design a travel plan to the Maya ruins B. Write a report on the Maya agriculture C. Give a presentation on Maya artistic symbols D. Make a poster of Maya scientific achievements B A 16-year-old Granite Bay High School student is spreading holiday cheer by helping make sure kids in the community don’t go without a present this Christmas. Livy Hickey, a responsible youth ambassador for Marine（海军）Toys for Tots(a charity program), is on a mission to make this holiday season brighter for children in need. Her journey with the nonprofit started when she was in eighth grade after she saw an activity for the organization, which has been providing holiday joy to families since 1947. “I love Christmas, it’s my favorite time of year, and I just value it so much,” said Livy, reflecting on her love for the holiday season. Livy’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. Matt Vidosh, the local organizer for Marine Toys for Tots, quickly recognized her potential（潜力）. “She was so well-spoken, warm and friendly. I honestly thought she was already a junior or senior in high school. She acted older than she actually was,” Vidosh said. For Livy, the desire to give back has deep roots. “My grandpa was a Marine, so I wanted to honor his legacy（遗产）. That’s really what inspired me to take part in the program,” she explained. She threw herself into the mission by buying toys, sorting them in the warehouse, and personally handing them out to families in need. Her hard work paid off when she was selected as one of just 35 student ambassadors nationwide for the program. In 2024, the local Toys for Tots collected over 28, 000 toys, reaching more than 12, 000 kids. The program depends on the generosity of people like Livy, and they’re always looking for donations of new, unwrapped toys. “We’re always accepting new, unwrapped toys, and if you’re someone who loves to make toys at home, we’ll take those too. Every little bit helps,” Vidosh added. For Livy, the true reward（奖励）comes when the kids open their gifts. “Seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces is priceless. It lights up their whole face. Honestly, it brightens my day and my whole year,” she said. 24. What impressed Matt Vidosh most about Livy Hickey at first? A. Her excellent qualities. B. Her skills in collecting toys. C. Her school achievements. D. Her keen interest in making gifts. 25. Why did Livy Hickey join Marine Toys for Tots? A. She wanted to get volunteer experience. B. Her grandfather’s background touched her. C. The local organizer personally invited her. D. She desired to share her favorite holiday joy. 26. What can we know from Livy’s words in the last paragraph? A. She hopes to get valuable rewards. B. The program helps kids build confidence. C. The joy of helping others is lasting. D. She expects more teens to join the program. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Donate Toys to Children B. Spreading Holiday Joy: A Teen’s Mission C. Marine Toys for Tots: A Care Program D. A Teenage Volunteer’s Holiday Journey C Money and the Meaning of Life is not a typical personal finance book. Written by Jacob Needleman, a philosophy professor at San Francisco State University, it invites readers to look at money not as something to spend or save, but as a mirror that reflects who we really are. The book grew out of a course Needleman taught, where he noticed how deeply money shapes people’s emotions and decisions. To make his ideas easy to understand, Needleman creates two fictional characters based on the rich exchanges with his students: Bill, a millionaire who has everything except happiness, and Alyssa, an artist who becomes an accountant（会计）to feel safe but loses her passion along the way. Their stories help readers see that money cannot buy self-understanding, love, or true friendship. As Needleman writes, expecting money to give your life meaning is like expecting a hammer（锤子）to build a house by itself — it is just a tool. Some readers might find this book a bit challenging because it asks deep questions rather than giving simple answers. However, for high school students, especially freshmen, it is a great introduction to thinking critically（批判性地）about money and values. You do not need to be a philosophy expert to enjoy it. The language is clear, and the examples come from everyday life. What makes this book especially valuable for young readers is that it speaks directly to teenagers and young adults, who are just starting to form their views on money and success. Needleman reminds us that it’s important to use money wisely, not to waste it on unnecessary things, but also not to let the fear of being poor or the desire for wealth control our decisions. He encourages readers to ask themselves: What do I really want from life? How can money help me achieve that, rather than become a problem? I highly recommend this book to every high school student who wants to have a clear understanding of money’s role in life and avoid falling into the trap of blind materialism. It is a valuable guide that will benefit us for a lifetime. 28. What can we learn about Bill and Alyssa? A. They show a common job mistake. B. They are skilled at managing finance. C. They prove artists earn less money. D. They’re created based on real experience. 29. What does the hammer example imply? A. Tools are useless without workers. B. Building houses requires teamwork. C. It’s challenging to use money wisely. D. Money alone cannot create meaningful life. 30. What does the author suggest about teenagers? A. They easily fall into materialism. B. They lack interest in philosophy. C. They are forming their sense of values. D. They should ignore the impact of wealth. 31. What type of writing is this text? A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A personal diary. D. A research paper. D For the first time since the Apollo days, humans are preparing not just to visit the Moon, but to live and work there for weeks, months, and even years. The US Artemis program aims to set up a base on the Moon’s surface. Rather than just leaving “flags and footprints” as the Apollo mission did, NASA wants to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, beginning at the lunar South Pole. The program unfolds in stages. In 2022, Artemis I mission successfully tested the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on an unmanned mission around the Moon. On April 1, 2026, NASA launched Artemis II, a ten-day mission carrying four astronauts around the Moon to test that life-support systems function safely with humans onboard. NASA plans to spend $ 20 billion on a lunar surface base to support longer and longer stays. This is designed to teach us how to operate sustainably beyond Earth — knowledge that will finally feed forward to future Mars missions. Living on the Moon will challenge every organ（器官）system in the human body. Unlike astronauts in low-Earth orbit, astronauts on the Moon work largely outside Earth’s protection. This increases exposure（暴露）to space radiation（辐射）, which can harm DNA, weaken the body’s defense system, and affect the brain and the heart. Currently, there are some measures to reduce radiation, such as using lunar soil as cover, early warning systems for solar storms, and operational strategies that limit exposure during high-risk periods. Personalized eating strategies and exercise are also important during long lunar missions. Spending longer time on the Moon will be amazing. But it will also be demanding and uncomfortable. If we can learn how to keep humans healthy and productive on the lunar surface, we take a decisive step toward becoming a truly spaceflight species. Artemis shows that exploration is no longer about brief heroics. It is about adaptability and understanding ourselves as deeply as the worlds we seek to explore. In learning how to live on the Moon, we may learn as much about life on Earth as we do about our future beyond it. 32. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Humans will return to the Moon soon. B. The Apollo program was very successful. C. NASA plans to build a long-term Moon base. D. Astronauts will work at the Moon’s South Pole. 33. What does the underlined word “sustainably” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Sharply. B. Lastingly. C. Immediately. D. Originally. 34. Why does the author mention low-Earth orbit in paragraph 4? A. To stress the value of exercising during space missions. B. To show the radiation harm to astronauts on the Moon. C. To present the various methods of protecting astronauts. D. To prove the low-Earth orbit mission is more dangerous. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward living on the Moon? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I used to admire movie stars and singers for their popularity and wealth, but I never truly knew them. As I grew up, I realized the best role model was right beside me — my grandfather. He is the only person who entered my life and made me look at things differently. 36 My grandfather had a tough childhood. Orphaned（成为孤儿）at a young age, he was the oldest of seven children and had to work on a small farm to feed his younger brothers and sisters. 37 He studied hard and became an agricultural scientist, even becoming an excellent specialist. His perseverance（坚持不懈）taught me that building upon the principles of hard work and seeking excellence on the silent dream would make wishes come true one day. 38 He gave so much to the community so that when I went anywhere with him, the adults and children loved and admired him. My grandfather taught me how to give respect and how to earn it for myself. He also encouraged me to be an honest and gentle person. Being with him was like experiencing life to the fullest and perfecting my good morals and values. Grandfather was always positive, no matter how hard life was. 39 When I asked him if he regretted his tough past, he answered me with a brave smile, “Problems are really part of what makes life worth living.” I learned from him that the mix of being positive and thinking realistically can help me get through life even in difficult situations. When Grandfather passed away one winter morning, I was heartbroken. 40 The lessons he taught me about hard work, kindness and positivity will guide me through all challenges. I will always model myself on him. A. However, he never gave up on his dream. B. But I knew his spirit would be a part of me. C. He struggled to help his family make ends meet. D. He always looked for the good in every situation. E. He spent most of his life helping the poor in the countryside. F. What impressed me most was his kindness and moral values. G. He has guided me perfectly by giving examples from his past. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A few months ago, one of my fellow graduate students was offered an incredible career-building opportunity. His efforts on a student-led project to increase official funding for basic research had led to an invitation to speak on a conference panel (专家组). It would look great on his CV (简历). I was 41 for him, of course. However, I had been an 42 partner in the project. I felt that I deserved the same opportunity. Yet I hadn’t been invited and I wasn’t sure why. Growing up, I had been taught that the way to 43 was to put my head down and work hard. If my work was good enough, it would speak for itself and I would be 44 . This view, coupled with a natural shyness, meant that I 45 picked up the courage to put myself forward. However, I decided that I need to 46 my life again — by becoming my own biggest 47 . So, with my heart 48 , I ask my colleague to ask the panel organizers to 49 me. My mind flooded with a list of well-practiced self-doubt. Maybe I didn’t 50 it. Maybe I was being too ambitious. But my colleague immediately contacted the organizers, who quickly agreed to add me to the panel. I’ve come to understand that I can’t be 51 for my work if I’m invisible. This isn’t a revolutionary(革命性的) 52 , I know, but as an introvert (内向的人) this is my 53 Mount Qomolangma. I think promoting myself will always make me a little 54 . But I do plenty of other uncomfortable things to 55 I’m living my best life, like getting flu shots(疫苗). I suppose I can do the same for my career. 41. A. thankful B. delighted C. sorry D. ready 42. A. legal B. mental C. equal D. special 43. A. practice B. success C. power D. reality 44. A. observed B. protected C. attracted D. rewarded 45. A. quietly B. frequently C. rarely D. completely 46. A. make sense of B. take control of C. pay attention to D. make contributions to 47. A. support B. promise C. harvest D. inspiration 48. A. running B. racing C. turning D. shaking 49. A. question B. serve C. include D. fire 50. A. appreciate B. deserve C. witness D. track 51. A. identified B. announced C. confirmed D. recognized 52. A. idea B. test C. signal D. plan 53. A. professional B. personal C. typical D. desirable 54. A. unreasonable B. dishonest C. awkward D. discontent 55.

When he studied Chinese poetry and the Three-Character in his article Classic, he found himself, instead of 57 (catch) by the text, attracted by the illustrations. These images were so 58 (impress) that he began coloring them using paints from his family’s dyehouse. “The children new to school enjoy coloring images in textbooks,” says Li Hongbo, 59 art professor at Jilin Normal University. “They may have limited understanding of colors, but they often take pride 60 their ‘creations’ and find endless pleasure from such activities. These phenomena can serve as a gateway for children to learn about painting 61 indicate that textbooks from other subjects can contribute to the fundamental fine arts education.” says Li. Feng’s story is being shown in the ongoing Mirror to the Future: Chinese Basic Art Education Literature Exhibition, 62 highlight is to show the development of the country’s fundamental fine arts education since 1904.

Heavy snow had been falling for two days, and the sidewalk outside Mrs. Grant's house was covered with thick, hard ice. The elderly lady, living alone, had been looking forward to her daily visit to the community library. But the slippery path made her anxious, as she was afraid of falling. Mrs. Grant was a bit reserved and suspicious by nature. She had lived alone for years and preferred to keep to herself. The Carter family, who moved in next door last month, were always noisy with their two energetic boys. To Mrs. Grant's ordered mind, their yard was always a mess with scattered toys. She secretly thought the family was uncivilized and didn't care about community rules. Just as she was feeling lonely and worried about going out, a soft knock sounded at the door. She opened it with caution and saw 12-year-old Tommy, the boy next door, standing outside with a broom (扫帚) in his hand. “Aunt Maria, I saw the snow!”shouted Tommy. “I cleared a path for you, but it's still icy. Can I help you walk to the library?” Astonished by the unexpected visit, Mrs. Grant frowned and hesitated. She didn’t want to trouble the boy, but her fear of falling won out. She nodded weakly. Tommy put on a pair of old gloves and held her arm tightly as they walked slowly to the library. On the way, Tommy chatted happily about his school life, distracting Mrs. Grant from the cold. She felt a strange warmth, though she still kept a certain distance. After the visit, Tommy accompanied her back home. Before leaving, he even helped clear a small area of ice from her steps. To thank him, Mrs. Grant prepared a plate of freshly baked cookies. Tommy accepted them with a big smile and then ran back to clear more snow from the street corner. 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。 The next morning, Mrs. Grant looked out of the window and was deeply moved by what she saw._____________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ This incident（事情）deeply touched Mrs. Grant and changed her view on neighborhood relationships._________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ 湖北曾都一中2025至2026学年高一下学期6月月考英语试题 参考答案 听力：1-5 BACAC 6-10 BACBA 11-15 CBABB 16-20 BACCA 阅读：21-23：CBD 24-27：ABCB 28-31:DDCA 32-35:CBBA 七选五：GAFDB 完形：41-45:BCBDC 46-50:BABCB 51-55:DABCD 语法填空： 56. penned 57. being caught 58. impressive 59. an 60. in 61. and 62. whose 63. displays 64. it 65. preservation 应用文写作： Dear Alex, I'm writing to invite you to our new Smart Library next Saturday.

Looking forward to your arrival. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写： The next morning, Mrs. Grant looked out of the window and was deeply moved by what she saw. The sidewalk in front of her house and the path to the community gate were fully cleared of snow and ice. A small cardboard sign read, “Careful with steps!” In the distance, Tommy was clearing snow for another elderly neighbor, his red scarf floating in the wind. Mrs. Grant thought of her secret criticism of the Carters’ “messy yard”—but now, those scattered toys felt like signs of a warm, lively family. Tears welled up as she realized his kindness was no one-time favor, but the reflection of their true nature. This incident deeply touched Mrs. Grant and changed her view on neighborhood relationships. That afternoon, she baked chocolate chip cookies—Tommy’s favorite, as he’d mentioned casually—and knocked on the Carters’ door. Tommy opened it in surprise. Mrs. Grant smiled, handing him the cookies: “Thank you for clearing the snow, dear. You’ve helped me so much.” Mrs. Carter joined them, and they chatted warmly. Gradually, Mrs. Grant joined community activities, and the Carters helped her with heavy chores. She learned true neighborliness isn’t about perfect yards, but mutual care that melts winter’s cold. From then on, her home was no longer lonely, but filled with the boys’ laughter and neighborhood warmth. 听力录音材料 Text 1 M: Hey, could you help me out, Anna? W: Sorry, Tom. I’m busy putting up decorations. Maybe ask Sarah? M: Oh, she’s washing the car right now. Text 2 M: I can’t go straight because the road is closed. I’ll turn right here.

I wonder who will take her place today. W: I think it might be Julia. See? She’s walking toward our classroom. M: Well, we’d better head back to the classroom now. Text 5 W: This adventure storybook costs 18 dollars, and I have 10 dollars in my pocket. Any chance you could lend me some? M: How much do you need? W: 8 dollars should be enough! Text 6 M: Hello, this is Mr. Brown speaking. W: Hi, Mr. Brown. My name is Lisa Chen. I’m calling about the job ad. I saw online. M: Thanks for reaching out.

You’ll work with a partner and interview one of the teachers or other school workers here. Your job is to write a short feature article about them — like something in a school newspaper. I’ve put a list on the front desk. Pick a card — each has a name, room number, and a note about the person. Some are teachers you may know, but a few work in the office or library. Everyone we chose is happy to help. Here are a few tips. First, plan your questions together. Think about what you want to learn: maybe how they decided to work at a school, what they enjoy most, or a funny memory. Second, keep your interview short — about 15 to 20 minutes. Be respectful of their time. Finally, take notes or, if they agree, record the conversation. When you get back, you’ll have one class period to write it. Remember, in news-writing, deadlines matter. Please hand in your work at the end of the class.
