Her journey began when she chanced upon a small, makeshift library in a low‑income neighborhood run by volunteers. Inspired by their dedication, Jane decided to create a mobile library to reach even more people. With the help of a few friends and a donated shuttle, Jane transformed her vision into a reality. She scoured (逛) thrift stores and garage sales to fill her mobile library with a diverse range of titles, from classics to contemporary bestsellers. Soon, her library, “Storybook Maze,” became a familiar sight across the city. She parked her shuttle in areas with limited access to traditional libraries, such as public housing projects and homeless shelters. As word spread, people from all walks of life began to flock to her van. For many, Storybook Maze was more than just a place to borrow books — it was a symbol of hope and inclusiveness. Jane made a conscious effort to fill books that reflected the diversity of her community, ensuring that readers could see themselves in the stories. The impact was far‑reaching: children who had never held a book before were now racing through entire series, and adults were rediscovering the joy of reading. However, the journey was not without challenges. Jane faced disbelief from those who doubted the feasibility (可行性) of a mobile library and struggled to find stable funding. Nonetheless, her determination only grew stronger. She recruited volunteers, applied for grants (拨款), and partnered with local organizations to keep the project alive. Today, Storybook Maze is a beloved institution, reminding everyone that a book has the power to change a life. 24. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why Jane offered help to the poor. B. How Jane got Storybook Maze running. C. How Jane collected books for the project. D. Who Jane’s mobile library targeted. 25. What can be inferred about the books Jane chose for the library? A. They focus on local people’s lives. B. They aim to make money for the project. C. They mainly include classical works. D. They get readers deeply involved. 26. What major obstacle did Jane have to overcome? A. Lack of government support. B. Unstable funding and public doubt. C. Non‑cooperation from local organizations. D. Shortage of volunteers and grants. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Digital Age: the lasting power of reading B. Public Libraries: modern challenges C. Storybook Maze: books and hopes D. Community Hearts: the value of dedication C Imagine you’re purchasing a lottery ticket, and your heart races as you check the numbers. To your amazement, you’ve matched five out of six! What will you do next? Will you buy another ticket? For most people, the answer is a big “Yes”. When we come close to achieving a goal, we often gain a powerful energy that can drive us toward future success. Monica Wadhwa, a marketing professor at Temple University, suggests that not winning can actually motivate us more than winning itself. In her studies, Wadhwa conducted various experiments to test this concept. In one experiment, participants played a cellphone game with the task of revealing eight diamonds. After the game, those who nearly won — by getting seven diamonds — walked faster to claim their reward than both winners and losers. “Their motivation is getting intensified (加强), but then they miss it ... So what happens to this motivation? It hooks on, giving you the energy for the next goal that you have.” Wadhwa explains, “As for the winners, they inch toward their goal, they achieve it, and their motivation is satisfied, which leaves them with no need to fight for anything else.” However, this fire in your belly should be used wisely. Such motivation can push you toward significant goals, or be wasted on distractions. In another experiment at a fashion‑accessory store where shoppers were given scratch‑off lottery tickets, the near‑winners shopped more and spent more than both winners and losers. To harness (利用) this energy, Wadhwa advises setting goals that are slightly beyond our reach. She encourages managers to establish challenging yet achievable targets for their teams. Additionally, she recommends that parents highlight how close their children came to winning when they experience losses, fostering resilience and motivation. By understanding the unique power of nearly winning, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones for future success. As Wadhwa puts it. “Winners really do not take it all.” 28. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of winning. B. To display harmful effects of the lottery. C. To explain the rules of playing the lottery. D. To illustrate the excitement of nearly winning. 29. According to Wadhwa, what motivated the near‑winners to act faster? A. The eagerness to win another game. B. The unmet ambitions for winning games. C. The dissatisfaction of not achieving goals. D. The need for immediate recognition or rewards. 30. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Feeling energized does not always ensure success. B. You should not let your emotions guide your actions. C. Motivation can lead to unwise choices if not controlled. D. Having strong ambitions always leads to acting carelessly. 31. Which statement might Wadhwa agree most? A. Parents should take their children’s losses seriously. B. Managers should assign more tasks to star performers. C. Encouraging children to fight for perfection is essential. D. Setting slightly challenging goals can enhance motivation. D Scientists are working hard to pull water from the air, a potential source of clean drinking water for millions who lack access to freshwater. Even in very dry climates, the air contains moisture, but the challenge lies in releasing it. Current advanced materials are excellent at capturing water, yet they often “don’t want to part with it” once trapped. The primary issue with existing water‑harvesting concepts is the energy required for recovery. Typically, heat must be applied to evaporate (汽化) the trapped water and then cool it. This process is not only energy‑demanding but also time‑consuming, often taking hours to deliver a small amount of liquid. Traditional methods can consume up to half the captured energy just to release the water. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a novel way to eliminate this bottleneck: sound waves. They created an ultrasonic actuator — a flat plate that targets the material with high‑frequency waves. This mechanical vibration (震动) shakes tiny water free in just minutes. “With ultrasound, we can precisely break the weak bonds between tiny water and the sites where they’re sitting,” says researcher Ikra Shuvo. Unlike heat‑driven approaches that heat the entire material, ultrasound works locally, leaving the capturing structure undamaged. This targeted disturbance creates momentum that releases the water as droplets, making the device 45 times more efficient than traditional solar‑heat methods. Though the actuator requires a small amount of electricity, it can be powered by a tiny attached solar cell. Moreover, because the ultrasonic process takes minutes instead of hours, the same unit can complete multiple cycles per day, dramatically boosting total water output. In the final analysis, the beauty of this system lies in its speed and cycle capacity. Once the material is cleared, it is immediately ready to harvest more water. Researchers believe that after further development, this could be employed as a home‑based system to significantly increase the daily yield of drinking water from thin air. 32. What is the major barrier to getting water from the air currently? A. There exists little moisture in the dry air. B. It’s hard to set free the trapped moisture. C. Access to freshwater is difficult. D. The current materials are ineffective. 33. What is the chief disadvantage of traditional water harvesters? A. They fail to function in dry air. B. They demand too much time and energy. C. Their cooling system doesn’t work well. D. They can only produce tiny amounts of water. 34. What is the working principle of the MIT device? A. Heating the whole material. B. Creating an ultrasonic actuator. C. Damaging the capturing structure. D. Freeing water from weak bonds. 35. What lesson can we draw from the MIT research? A. Think outside the box. B. Follow the beaten track. C. Put the cart before the horse. D. Kill two birds with one stone. 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。 Have you ever attended a messy meeting where people interrupt each other and discussions drift far away from the original topic? __36__ That is why Robert’s Rules of Order has become widely accepted around the world as a practical guide for orderly group meetings. __37__ At first, he wrote the handbook to solve the disorder of local civilian gatherings, borrowing basic ideas from American congressional debate rules and British parliamentary traditions.

It looked like a Spook House from a story, which might sound interesting if it weren’t where I lived with my mom and little brother, Andy. The house wasn’t so horrible, but the outside might make you think twice about entering. Peeling (脱落的) paint revealed black images underneath that looked like bats. And weeds and long grass wrapped the house. When Mom rented it, I thought she was crazy. “Are you kidding, Mom? You really want to live in this place? It’s ugly.” Mom looked hurt, and I regretted my words. I knew she was doing the best she could. Obviously, this house wouldn’t be her first choice if money were no object. Mom cleaned every room and painted the inside. I must admit the fresh paint made a difference. “Can I paint the outside?” I asked her. “I’ll ask Mr. Dudley to paint it,” Mom replied. Our landlord, Mr. Dudley agreed, but he always had thousands of excuses. Mom didn’t seem concerned. She was busy planning for my grandma to live with us. Having my grandma watch Andy while Mom worked would save on daycare expenses. One morning I told my grandma that I was joining a history study group at Justine’s house after school and would be late getting home. “Just be home before dark,” she said. That afternoon I walked with a girl and a boy to Justine’s house—a big beautiful house with columns. The inside was furnished like a decorator magazine, with elegant furniture. “I love your house, Justine,” I said, trying not to scream. She smiled, “Thanks. You’ll have to come over again.” I was delighted and surprised that Justine wanted me to come back. I would definitely take her up on her offer. I just couldn’t invite her to my house. No way did I want anyone to see my house. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 When the sun was near setting, Justine’s mom said she would drive us home. ________________________________________________________________________ The following week, we started the paint job. ________________________________________________________________________ 高 一 英 语 答 案 第一部分 听力 1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.B 6.B 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.C 11.A 12.C 13.B 14.A 15.B 16.B 17.C 18.C 19.B 20.C 第二部分 阅读理解 21.D 22.D 23.C 24.B 25.A 26.B 27.C 28.D 29.C 30.C 31.D 32.B 33.B 34.D 35.A 36.F 37.A 38.B 39.G 40.E 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空 41.C 42.D 43.B 44.C 45.A 46.B 47.D 48.D 49.D 50.B 51.B 52.D 53.C 54.C 55.A 第二节 语法填空 56. uploaded 57. are collected 58. which 59. posing 60. to upgrade 61.

As soon as the fire alarm went off, students lined up quickly and covered mouths with wet towels. We bent down and escaped from classrooms in order within two minutes, gathering on the playground. A fire‑fighter then gave us a lecture on escaping from fires and using fire‑extinguishers. All students benefited a lot. They say such practical drills teach them useful skills they can’t learn from textbooks. 67.续写范文 When the sun was near setting, Justine’s mom said she would drive us home. Unexpectedly, Justine insisted on accompanying me home out of curiosity. Seeing my shabby house covered with weeds, I felt extremely ashamed and lowered my head. However, Justine showed no disgust. Instead, she suggested we repaint the house exterior together. Her warm words lifted my spirits at once. The following week, we started the paint job. My classmates and neighbors also volunteered to give a hand. We cleared weeds, swept rubbish and painted walls bright white. Soon the old house took on a brand‑new look. I no longer felt embarrassed about my home. I learned true friendship lies in acceptance rather than perfect appearance. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
