My best friend,Emily,and I had been inseparable since middle school.But as graduation approached,the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us.Emily and I became distant.I focused on getting into a top university,while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together.Our different goals led to disagreements,and soon enough,we started to argue over the smallest things. One day,things reached a boiling point.We had a huge fight over a group project.Days turned into weeks,and our friendship seemed beyond repair.We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch.Our friends tried to help,but neither of us was willing to make the first move.The silence between us was deafening,and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn't until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other.At first,we worked in tense silence.But as we spent more time together,the ice began to melt.One evening,as we were finishing up our project,Emily broke the silence."I miss you,"she said softly."I miss you,too,"I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat."I'm sorry for being so hard on you.I just wanted everything to be perfect.”“T'n sorry too,”Emily replied.“I should have been more understanding.We're both stressed,but we shouldn't let it ruin our friendship."We hugged,and at that moment,it felt like a weight had been lifted off my mind. On the graduation day,we stood side by side,proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other.The experience made our bond stronger,and we knew that no matter where life took us,we would always be there for each other. 24.What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily?

Climbing as a sport became popular in the 1980s,with the nation's first indoor climbing gym opening in Seattle.Over 10 million Americans had participated in climbing by 2020,and sport climbing appeared the following year at the Tokyo Summer Olympics.And more people are climbing than ever-thanks to hot movies such as Free Solo and The Dawn Wall Today,there are over 500 indoor climbing walls in the United States. Rock climbing attracts many people as an excellent sport.As a full-body exercise that includes a lot of pulling,pushing and lifting,rock climbing helps build muscle strength. What's more,the more you climb,the better your balance is,"Climbing helps you be aware of your body and improves the way you move your body,"said Nick Wilkes,owner and head instructor at Devils Lake Climbing Guides,a guide service in Madison,Wisconsin. Many of rock climbing's skills lie in determining and remembering your climbing route (in advance.You also need to solve problems on the fly,changing your route if you meet with unexpected difficulties. People prefer rock climbing partly because of the teamwork and safety support in the process,especially in roped climbing.Roped climbers have a partner on the ground called a protector,who holds the rope to manage the force,catch any falls and lower the climber. Throughout a climb,the two must continuously communicate about such concerns as needed rope force,when the climber wants to rest and when it's time to come down. "In order for me to be a better climber,I have to communicate clearly with the person belaying me so he knows how I'm feeling,when I need a break or if I want to change the climb in any way,"said Lindsay Wendt,fitness trainer of Atlanta-based Break Free Fitness. 28.What has caused more people to start climbing? A.Its physical health benefits. B.More indoor climbing gyms in the US. C.Popular movies about climbing. D.Its appearance as an Olympic sport. 29.What is Nick Wilkes'attitude towards rock climbing? A.Positive. B.Doubtful C.Concerned D.Disagreeable 30.What is the reason for roped climbers to communicate with their protectors continuously? A.To choose safer climbing routes. B.To share needs and feelings clearly. C.To learn better climbing skills. D.To record the climbing process. 31.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To tell the history of climbing. B.To compare climbing with other sports. C.To explain the popularity of rock climbing. D.To introduce the basic rules of climbing 2026年上学期期末质量监测高一英语第4页共8页 D Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth,and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science.Both delicate and sturdy,elephant trunks() can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds.Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired robots. By conducting a high-resolution motion capture analysis of elephants'trunks,researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes.For example,elephants use suction (to pick up lightweight objects.However,to pick up heavier things,they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things."It's not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening----it's different parts,depending on what the elephant is doing," said Milinkovitch,professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant.They used high-resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk,allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant's muscle groups,skin and connective tissues.The study data will be used to help design an innovative"soft"robotic arm.The data is exceptional,but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,"Milinkovitch said."We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot's behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes." The project is also fueling advancements in material science,as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D-printed for robotic prototypes ()The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses. 32.What does the underlined word"sturdy"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Strong. B.Rough. C.Broad. D.Sensitive. 33.How does an elephant handle different objects? A.By sucking them with all the strength. B.By stretching its trunk based on things'sizes. C.By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly. D.By securing the position of these objects at first. 34.Why do researchers translate the biological data? A.To test the safety of the robotic arm. B.To improve the behavior of the robot. C.To upgrade the appearance of the robot. D.To study the structure of muscle tissues. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A."Soft"Robotic Arms:An Innovation in 3D-printed Robots B.Elephant Trunks:The Theory of Movement in Robotics C."Soft"Robotic Arms:A Major Breakthrough in Material Science D.Elephant Trunks:The Inspiration for Soft Robotics 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。 You may have caught yourself talking to yourself,whether it's reminding yourself about 2026年上学期期末质量监测高一英语第5页共8页 tasks or processing your emotions out loud.This simple habit often feels comforting and can be incredibly useful.After all,sometimes your own voice is your biggest motivator. Why People Talk to Themselves Talking to yourself might seem strange. 36 It's more than perfectly normal-in fact,it can serve as a powerful mental strategy. 37 It can operate like a thermostat(恒温器)，influencing the temperature of your emotions.External self-talk can also help you move towards your goals,give yourself feedback,and assist with analyzing challenging tasks.Some people also use it to prepare what they want to say ahead of time. The Benefits of Talking to Yourself 38 One benefit of external self-talk is that it can improve the relationship you have with yourself.Instead of asking others for answers all the time,talking to yourself helps you hear what you really want and make your own choices.Talking to yourself is a way to admit you are in charge as an adult.Trusting yourself is a key factor for building self-worth and tuning out other noises. Create space for curiosity.Talking to yourself creates a suitable environment for self-inquiry.When you communicate with yourself with curiosity,you will become more aware of and understand yourself clearly.39 For example,you can ask yourself some questions to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world,or you can try a journaling method-write down your thoughts and answers,then read those answers out loud. So remember,even if talking to yourself feels a little odd,it comes with big benefits Start small and ask yourself how you feel and why,and don't be afraid to voice your thoughts out loud.40 A.Boost self-worth. B.Regulate emotions C.However,there are a variety of reasons why people do it. D.Self-inquiry requires quite complex steps every now and then. E.In fact,this way of self-inquiry can be very simple. F.This powerful practice could make a big difference in your mental wellness. G.Talking to yourself isn't just common chatter-it's a practical technique. 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。 I had just stopped by the local grocery store to pick up a few items.Only one 41 was working and the small store was almost empty.I 42 at her passage and waited while the guy in front of me was 43 a full cart of food.After payment,he put groceries back into his shopping cart and 44 if he could push the cart up to his 45 a quarter mile away,unpack it and bring it back.The cashier was 46 and wasn't sure what to do.I spoke up then and said I'd be happy to give him a_ 47 We talked on the short trip to his home.He was new in town having just 48 here recently.And like all of us,he was feeling the 49 of the high cost of living.I nodded 50,thinking to myself too,"The cost of living 51 going up,but at least the cost of loving has stayed the same."

The elephant-foot drum,63 is named for a resemblance()to an elephant's foot, is a well-known musical instrument of the Dai people. Dancers'right hands strike the drum with fists,palms,and fingertips,while the left hands support the action.Because the drum is long,most dance64(movement)are performed with the dancers'legs,such as squatting(),lifting one leg,and kicking.Whether the dancers strictly follow Dai traditions or create new forms of cultural expression, generations of Dai elephant-foot drum dancers continue to pass on this traditional art 65 their own ways. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Ray对你们学校的“校园劳动节”(Campus Labor Festival)很感兴趣，想来你们学校参观。请你给他写一封邮件。内容包括： 1.表示欢迎 2.介绍“校园劳动节”的具体内容 注意： 2026年上学期期末质量监测高一英语第7页共8页 写作词数应为80左右 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Dear Ray Yours, LiHua 第二节（满分25分）》 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。 Last year,I signed up for a tai chi performance at school,but my clumsy ( movements led to repeated mistakes on stage,ending in an embarrassing failure.I was left feeling that everyone was watching-and judging-my every wrong move,which hit me really hard. I tried to practice tai chi on my own,but found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again.After one week of effort,no progress could be seen-only growing frustration.How I wished I could perform as flexibly and smoothly as others. This feeling stayed with me,until one morning during a walk in the park,an elderly woman caught my attention.She was practicing tai chi with slow,graceful movements that carried a sense of peaceful determination.It was the most impressive tai chi I had ever seen, and compared to hers,my own efforts suddenly felt like a complete disaster. I sat down on a bench nearby,my head lowered.A moment later,her gentle voice broke the silence."Young friend,you carry a heavy cloud over you today,"she said,not as a stranger,but with the kindness of a grandmother."Would you like to talk about it?"Her unexpected warmth caught me off guard."It's about tai chi,"I began,and then I told her about my disappointing performance. Hearing that,she smiled knowingly."You remind me so much of myself when I first started tai chi."She said,her voice warm with understanding."The secret isn't in any single day,but in showing up-day after day,rain or shine.And time will do the rest." 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 Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chijourney began.

Rock climbing attracts many people as an excellent sport. As a full-body exercise that includes a lot of pulling, pushing and lifting, rock climbing helps build muscle strength. What's more, the more you climb, the better your balance is, “Climbing helps you be aware of your body and improves the way you move your body, “said Nick Wilkes, owner and head instructor at Devils Lake Climbing Guides, a guide service in Madison, Wisconsin. Many of rock climbing's skills lie in determining and remembering your climbing route (路线) in advance.You also need to solve problems on the fly, changing your route if you meet with unexpected difficulties. People prefer rock climbing partly because of the teamwork and safety support in the process, especially in roped climbing. Roped climbers have a partner on the ground called a protector, who holds the rope to manage the force, catch any falls and lower the climber. Throughout a climb, the two must continuously communicate about such concerns as needed rope force, when the climber wants to rest and when it's time to come down. “In order for me to be a better climber, I have to communicate clearly with the person belaying me so he knows how I'm feeling, when I need a break or if I want to change the climb in any way,” said Lindsay Wendt, fitness trainer of Atlanta-based Break Free Fitness. 28. What has caused more people to start climbing? A. Its physical health benefits. B.More indoor climbing gyms in the US. C.Popular movies about climbing. D. Its appearance as an Olympic sport. 29. What is Nick Wilkes' attitude towards rock climbing? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Disagreeable. 30. What is the reason for roped climbers to communicate with their protectors continuously? A. To choose safer climbing routes. B. To share needs and feelings clearly. C. To learn better climbing skills. D. To record the climbing process. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To tell the history of climbing. B. To compare climbing with other sports. C. To explain the popularity of rock climbing. D. To introduce the basic rules of climbing. D Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science. Both delicate and sturdy, elephant trunks(象鼻）can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired robots. By conducting a high-resolution motion capture analysis of elephants' trunks, researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes. For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things. “It's not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening----it's different parts, depending on what the elephant is doing,” said Milinkovitch, professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant. They used high-resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk, allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant's muscle groups, skin and connective tissues. The study data will be used to help design an innovative “soft” robotic arm. “The data is exceptional, but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,” Milinkovitch said. “We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot's behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.” The project is also fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D-printed for robotic prototypes (原型). The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses. 32. What does the underlined word "sturdy" in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Strong. B. Rough. C. Broad. D. Sensitive. 33. How does an elephant handle different objects? A. By sucking them with all the strength. B. By stretching its trunk based on things' sizes. C. By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly. D. By securing the position of these objects at first. 34. Why do researchers translate the biological data? A. To test the safety of the robotic arm. B. To improve the behavior of the robot. C. To upgrade the appearance of the robot. D. To study the structure of muscle tissues. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. "Soft" Robotic Arms: An Innovation in 3D-printed Robots B. Elephant Trunks: The Theory of Movement in Robotics C. "Soft" Robotic Arms: A Major Breakthrough in Material Science D. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiration for Soft Robotics 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。 You may have caught yourself talking to yourself, whether it’s reminding yourself about tasks or processing your emotions out loud. This simple habit often feels comforting and can be incredibly useful. After all, sometimes your own voice is your biggest motivator. Why People Talk to Themselves Talking to yourself might seem strange. 36 It’s more than perfectly normal — in fact, it can serve as a powerful mental strategy. 37 It can operate like a thermostat (恒温器), influencing the temperature of your emotions. External self-talk can also help you move towards your goals, give yourself feedback, and assist with analyzing challenging tasks. Some people also use it to prepare what they want to say ahead of time. The Benefits of Talking to Yourself 38 One benefit of external self-talk is that it can improve the relationship you have with yourself. Instead of asking others for answers all the time, talking to yourself helps you hear what you really want and make your own choices. Talking to yourself is a way to admit you are in charge as an adult. Trusting yourself is a key factor for building self-worth and tuning out other noises. Create space for curiosity. Talking to yourself creates a suitable environment for self-inquiry. When you communicate with yourself with curiosity, you will become more aware of and understand yourself clearly. 39 For example, you can ask yourself some questions to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, or you can try a journaling method — write down your thoughts and answers, then read those answers out loud. So remember, even if talking to yourself feels a little odd, it comes with big benefits. Start small and ask yourself how you feel and why, and don’t be afraid to voice your thoughts out loud. 40 A. Boost self-worth. B. Regulate emotions. C. However, there are a variety of reasons why people do it. D. Self-inquiry requires quite complex steps every now and then. E. In fact, this way of self-inquiry can be very simple. F. This powerful practice could make a big difference in your mental wellness. G. Talking to yourself isn’t just common chatter — it’s a practical technique. 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。 I had just stopped by the local grocery store to pick up a few items.

In 2008, it 　 56 (recognize) as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) item.  57 (traditional), the elephant-foot drum dance is performed by men. As 　58 (it) dance steps came from traditional Dai martial arts, anyone wishing to learn this art must first study martial arts. Otherwise, they may lack physical 　 59 (strong) and flexibility to perform the dance. The dance is physically 　 60 (challenge) for beginners, as it requires them 　 61 (carry) a drum, maintain good balance, and keep up with the rhythm. During a performance, dancers carry the drum on their left shoulder, with the drumhead facing forward 　 62 the end pointing backward. The elephant-foot drum, 　 63 is named for a resemblance(相像) to an elephant’s foot, is a well-known musical instrument of the Dai people.  Dancers’ right hands strike the drum with fists, palms, and fingertips, while the left hands support the action. Because the drum is long, most dance 　 64 (movement) are performed with the dancers’ legs, such as squatting(蹲), lifting one leg, and kicking. Whether the dancers strictly follow Dai traditions or create new forms of cultural expression, generations of Dai elephant-foot drum dancers continue to pass on this traditional art 　 65 their own ways.  第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40 分) 第一节(满分15 分) 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Ray对你们学校的“校园劳动节”（Campus Labor Festival）很感兴趣，想来你们学校参观。请你给他写一封邮件。内容包括: 1.表示欢迎 2.介绍“校园劳动节”的具体内容 注意： 写作词数应为80左右 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Dear Ray _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25 分) 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。 Last year, I signed up for a tai chi performance at school, but my clumsy (笨拙的) movements led to repeated mistakes on stage, ending in an embarrassing failure. I was left feeling that everyone was watching — and judging — my every wrong move, which hit me really hard.  I tried to practice tai chi on my own, but found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again. After one week of effort, no progress could be seen — only growing frustration. How I wished I could perform as flexibly and smoothly as others. This feeling stayed with me, until one morning during a walk in the park, an elderly woman caught my attention. She was practicing tai chi with slow, graceful movements that carried a sense of peaceful determination. It was the most impressive tai chi I had ever seen, and compared to hers, my own efforts suddenly felt like a complete disaster. I sat down on a bench nearby, my head lowered. A moment later, her gentle voice broke the silence. “Young friend, you carry a heavy cloud over you today,” she said, not as a stranger, but with the kindness of a grandmother. “Would you like to talk about it?” Her unexpected warmth caught me off guard. “It’s about tai chi,” I began, and then I told her about my disappointing performance. Hearing that, she smiled knowingly. “You remind me so much of myself when I first started tai chi.” She said, her voice warm with understanding. “ The secret isn’t in any single day, but in showing up — day after day, rain or shine. And time will do the rest.” 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。 Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chi journey began. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of my second tai chi performance finally came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026年上学期期末质量监测 高一英语 第 1 页 共 9 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
