Everyone in the organization knows that even the smallest actions can make a big difference. Mission (任务) of the Month It’s fun to find creative ways to raise money for charity. From bake sales and lemonade stands to car washes and food delivery, there are lots of ways to offer support. This month, we’re looking to feature Service Stars who are raising funds to promote awareness of biodiversity. Could you be one of these kids? You don’t have to gather a huge sum of money. Need Inspiration? Organize a coin drive at your school or a local business. How will you get the word out? Offer a service, such as walking pets and moving snow, in return for a donation. What jobs do people need to be done in your area? If someone wants to give you a gift, ask them to donate it instead. What will you choose? Set aside some of every dollar you receive or earn to donate. How much can you save? Host a lemonade stand or a bake sale to raise funds. What else can you make and sell? Stars Shine Brighter Together When kids work together, they can achieve great things. This month’s group idea is to organize a craft (手工) sale. Ask friends and classmates to use their talents to make crafts. Think about where you’ll sell them. To which charity will you donate the money? If you need help getting started, talk to an adult or pair up with a friend to find an idea that feels right for you. Click HERE and tell us about it! 1. What is the purpose of the organization this month? A. To help save nature. B. To work in nursing houses. C. To promote friendship. D. To teach about different animals. 2. How can kids collect money for the current project? A. By asking parents for pocket money. B. By selling stuff they make. C. By hosting a party. D. By participating in sports. 3. Where can you likely read the text? A. On the Internet. B. In a magazine. C. In a newspaper. D. In a textbook. B From cottages (小屋) surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.” Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother. Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.” My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. 4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu? A. Adventurous. B. Luxurious. C. Ordinary. D. Boring. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book. C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7. What is the purpose of this text? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style. C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place. C Searching online has many educational benefits. But spending more time online does not mean better online skills. Instead, a student’s ability to successfully search online increases with guidance and clear instruction. Young people often think they are already skilled searchers. Their teachers and parents often think so too. This belief means much classroom practice centers on searching to learn, hardly on learning to search. Many teachers don’t teach students how to search online. Instead, students often teach themselves. This does not result in students learning the skills they need. For six years, I studied how young Australians use search engines. Both school students and home-schoolers showed some characteristics (特点) of online searching that aren’t beneficial. For example, both groups spent greater time on irrelevant (不相关的) websites than relevant ones and stopped searches before finding their needed information. Search engines offer endless educational chances, but I find many students typically only search for isolated (孤立) facts, and move on. In one observation, a home-school family type “How many endangered Sumatran Tigers are there” into Google. They enter a single website where they read a single sentence. They write this “answer” down and they begin the next topic—growing seeds. The practice means people are no better off than they were 40 years ago with a print encyclopedia (百科全书). Why not use different keywords, sites and search tabs? The student could have learned much more. The other thing young people should keep in mind to get the full benefits of searching online is to avoid fast search. All too often we believe search can be a fast process. The home-school families in my study spent 90 seconds or less, viewing each website and searched a new topic every four minutes. But searching so quickly can mean students don’t write useful search keywords or get the information they need. 8. What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 1? A. The importance of teaching online searching skills. B. The educational benefits of searching online. C. The classroom practice centering on learning to search. D. The advantage of teaching oneself about searching online. 9. What did the author’s study find about Australian students? A. They benefited most from using online information. B. They spent little time on irrelevant websites. C. They were usually experienced in using search engines. D. They were often unable to find the needed search results. 10. Why does the author mention the home-school family? A. To compare some popular online searching skills. B. To show the important role of a print encyclopedia. C. To give an example of only searching for isolated facts. D. To explain a basic searching skill used by many students. 11. What is the author’s advice for students in the last paragraph? A. Slow down when searching online. B. Try searching more new topics online. C. Practice more to better searching skills. D. Change search keywords quickly if possible. D Bilinguals (能说两种语言的人) are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth. Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language. Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function (执行功能) — a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks. Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and canceling out things that take their attention away. Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that — the equivalent (相同的) of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies. “The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds. 12. What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s? A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience. C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth. 13. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok? A. Similar language patterns. B. Cognitive function. C. Executive function. D. Good study habits. 14. What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism? A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective. 15. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Are bilinguals really smarter? B. Should kids learn another language? C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage? D. What factors affect language learning? 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。 Although awkward (令人尴尬的) conversations may seem difficult, they can be good opportunities to practice making small talk,____16____.

I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs. My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing thing into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families to visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.” I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only could I play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes. My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming including many old classics. When the exciting day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room. Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年高一第二学期7月期末质量检测 英语听力 注意事项: 1.本试卷分四部分。满分150分,考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时,请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;主观题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答,超出答题区域书写的答案无效,在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本试卷命题范围:必修第三册。 第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分) 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Thank you for listening. 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano? I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, “This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous.” Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance. Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance in the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’ m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them.
