When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers. What would she be without deadlines and department meetings? However, she did not remain in fear, but sought renewal in action. Her choice was unexpected for someone diagnosed with mild memory loss the year before: She would bake one pie and give it away every day for a year. She needed to prove she was still mentally capable. Using fruit from local markets, she filled her kitchen with the smell of cinnamon and warm butter. Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp. After making full preparations, she boarded a plane to California and baked a lemon pie in her brother’s kitchen. It was for her 88-year-old aunt, who had once taken her in during a painful chapter of her youth. “The perfect first pie,” she later said. Soon peach pies were delivered to old classmates, chocolate cream pies to a niece with newborn twins, and apple pies to former co-workers. Once, she even handed a pie to a homeless man outside a mall, which he shared with his friends, laughing in disbelief. Word spread quickly. Strangers began greeting her as “the pie lady”. Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection. Just as city planning had once brought order to chaos, baking did the same. Twelve years later, she still creates — writing daily letters, painting the changing sky, teaching her grandchildren to roll dough. Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again. 4. What initially troubled Woods about retirement? A. Identity loss. B. Economic uncertainty. C. Work-life imbalance. D. Social disconnection. 5. Why did Woods choose to bake pies? A. To relieve her physical pain. B. To reach her extended family. C. To confirm her mental ability. D. To earn community recognition. 6. What effect did giving away pies have on Woods? A. It connected her with charity. B. It strengthened her social ties. C. It enhanced her public reputation. D. It secured her financial stability. 7. What message does Woods’ story deliver? A. Love makes the world warmer. B. Action helps rebuild self-worth. C. Hard work leads to good luck. D. It’s never too late to pursue a dream. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了退休城市规划师伍兹通过每日烤馅饼送人，重建自我价值与社会联系的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers.(当她61岁退休时，她担心自己辛苦得来的“城市规划师”身份会在离开办公室和同事的那一刻消失。)”可知，退休让伍兹最初困扰的是身份的丧失。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She needed to prove she was still mentally capable.(她需要证明自己仍然有精神上的能力。)”以及“Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp.(称量面粉、揉制面团、把控烤箱时长，这一件件日常小事，默默印证着她的头脑依旧敏锐清醒。)”可知，伍兹选择烤馅饼是为了确认自己的精神能力。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection.(一些接受者低声说：“你怎么知道我今天需要这个？”在那些时刻，她发现了比甜点更甜的东西：联系。)”可知，送馅饼让伍兹加强了她的社会联系。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again.(通过面粉和水果，她明白了一个永恒的真理：身份不是一个头衔，而是不断创造、给予和重新开始的勇气。)”可推知，伍兹的故事传达了行动有助于重建自我价值的信息。故选B。 C Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过对比数字写作助手和字典指出，在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，最后点明我们比以往更需要字典。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.(词典让我们写作时并非依靠万无一失的便捷，而是能够展现独特性和观点)”可知，字典能帮助我们写出有原创性的内容。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a practice that dictionaries facilitate(字典促进这种做法)”和“while”表示的对比关系可知，stifle和facilitate含义相反，即“抑制、阻碍”，选项中discourage“阻拦、使气馁”意思一致。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。第四段开头“Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标：它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点：表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份，字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人；我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强，比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”，这些词汇在词典中有详细记载，但在大多数情况下，人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇，是为了说明：这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感，即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维，我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作，将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知，全文对比数字写作助手和字典，层层论述：在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知，A项“为什么要保留字典？”适合作本文标题。故选A。 D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 13. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 15. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应，即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：雏鸡也会做出同样的配对，这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知，这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它，而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了这种效果。相反，“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知，本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s easy to give in to the winter hibernation (冬眠) urge — but countless studies have shown that outdoors activity is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of anxiety, depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). ____16____ Here’s how to make the best use of our natural health service. Starting small. “Sometimes getting out and running 5km was like climbing Everest. It would take me all day just to find the energy to get out,” says Alex Staniforth, a mental health campaigner. ____17____ Try opening a window, sitting by natural light, or bringing nature indoors with plants. When you’re ready, aim for short, achievable goals like a five-minute walk. You don’t need hours. Aiming for regular activity is key. ____18____ Mental health and fitness coach Gareth Jones emphasized that good planning and structure are crucial. “If you know you’re struggling with motivation, laying out all your kit — from your socks all the way up to the food you’re going to take — can be helpful,” he says. “____19____ You might want to get out when you get to the front door — but if you have to go and search for your trainers because they’re lost under the stairs somewhere, you may not feel like going out at all.” Group support. Social commitments can also act as motivation for people with depression and anxiety. Having other people around us — whether that’s joining a club or committing to something with a friend — can really help. ____20____ “People are very quick to post their accomplishments on social media, but what you don’t see is the build-up,” says Gareth. “It doesn’t matter where people are now in their lives, they’ve had to work to get there. And you’ll get there too.” A. A clear goal. B. A structured approach. C. However, don’t compare yourself to others. D. A disorganized life can affect your motivation. E. Therefore, doctors are encouraging people to go outdoors more. F. But time in nature isn’t the only cure for mental health problems. G. If this sounds familiar, remember even small steps can bring benefits. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文针对冬季人们容易情绪低落的问题，指出户外活动是改善心理健康的有效方法，并给出了三条实用建议：从小事做起、采用有条理的方法、寻求团体支持。 【16题详解】 上文“It’s easy to give in to the winter hibernation (冬眠) urge — but countless studies have shown that outdoors activity is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of anxiety, depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).( 很容易就会受到冬季冬眠情绪的诱惑——但无数研究都表明，进行户外活动是降低焦虑、抑郁和季节性情感障碍（SAD）风险的最佳方式之一。)”用大量研究证明了户外活动对缓解焦虑、抑郁和季节性情绪失调的显著效果。下文“Here’s how to make the best use of our natural health service.( 以下是充分利用我们这一天然健康资源的方法。)”自然过渡到“如何充分利用这一天然健康服务”。E 选项“Therefore, doctors are encouraging people to go outdoors more.( 因此，医生们鼓励人们多去户外活动。)”用“Therefore”承接前文的科学结论，引出医生的建议，完美起到了承上启下的作用。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文““Sometimes getting out and running 5km was like climbing Everest. It would take me all day just to find the energy to get out,” says Alex Staniforth, a mental health campaigner.( “有时候出去跑 5 公里就像攀登珠穆朗玛峰。我得花一整天的时间才能找到出门的动力，”心理健康活动家亚历克斯·斯坦菲斯通说道。)”引用心理健康活动家亚历克斯的话，描述了很多人在冬季连出门都异常困难的状态。空格后紧接着给出了开窗、坐自然光下、5分钟散步等一系列“小事”的建议。G选项“If this sounds familiar, remember even small steps can bring benefits.( 如果这听起来很熟悉，请记住即使是小的行动也能带来好处。)”中的“this”精准指代前文提到的“难以出门”的困境，同时引出后文“小步骤也有大作用” 的核心观点。故选G项。 【18题详解】 空格是本段的小标题，需要概括全段主旨。下文“Mental health and fitness coach Gareth Jones emphasized that good planning and structure are crucial.( 心理健康和健身教练加雷斯·琼斯强调，良好的规划和结构至关重要。)”就明确指出良好的计划和条理至关重要，并通过“提前准备好所有装备”的例子进行了具体说明。B选项“A structured approach.( 有条理的方法。)”精准概括了本段核心内容。故选B项。 【19题详解】 上文““If you know you’re struggling with motivation, laying out all your kit — from your socks all the way up to the food you’re going to take — can be helpful,” he says.( “如果你知道自己在缺乏动力方面存在困难，准备好所有你需要的东西——从袜子一直到你要带的食物——可能会有所帮助，”他说。)”强调提前准备好装备的重要性，下文“You might want to get out when you get to the front door — but if you have to go and search for your trainers because they’re lost under the stairs somewhere, you may not feel like going out at all.” (当你走到前门时，也许你已经想出门了——但如果还得去楼梯下面找丢失的运动鞋，你可能就一点也不想出门了。”)”从反面说明“如果还要到处找运动鞋，可能就不想出门了”。D 选项“A disorganized life can affect your motivation.( 杂乱的生活会影响你的动力。)”正好连接正反两方面的论证，逻辑严密。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“Having other people around us — whether that’s joining a club or committing to something with a friend — can really help.( 身边有其他人的陪伴——无论是加入一个俱乐部还是与朋友一起参与某项活动——真的很有帮助。)”讲完团体支持的好处后，用 “However”进行转折。下文““People are very quick to post their accomplishments on social media, but what you don’t see is the build-up,” says Gareth.( “人们会在社交媒体上迅速晒出自己的成就，但你看不到的是背后的积累过程，”加雷斯说)”引用加雷斯的话，指出社交媒体上展示的只是别人的成就，看不到背后的付出，不要盲目比较。C 选项“However, don’t compare yourself to others.( 但是，不要拿自己和他人作比较。)”直接点明了本段后半部分的核心观点，与后文内容完全呼应。故选C项。 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor, eager to share postgraduation twists. As they chatted ____21____ in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor ____22____ himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups. The cups were of all ____23____ — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some ____24____ and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose. The students ____25____ and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that ____26____ the rest. Plain, simple ones were left ____27____ on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke. “I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, ____28____ the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no ____29____ to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.” The students fell silent, ____30____ by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are ____31____. They are tools to ____32____ life, but cannot alter its ____33____. Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you ____34____ missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that ____35____ our souls.” He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee. 21. A. enthusiastically B. coldly C. cautiously D. awfully 22.

So when I found a small house just around the corner from the school, I jumped at the chance. My mother wasn’t so sure. “Some of your pupils will probably be your neighbours,” she warned. “Your every move will be watched.” I laughed it off. What did I have to hide? But soon I realised she was right. The first weekend after I moved in, we sat outside, enjoying a simple meal, when Mum suddenly paused and tilted her head toward a bedroom window in the house behind mine. A boy’s grin was pressed to the glass. It was Thomas, the liveliest child in my class. He waved as if we were close friends. After that, the “small town effect” became impossible to ignore. One morning, still in my pyjamas (睡衣) and slippers, I rushed outside to put my bin out, only to notice Amelia standing beside me, neat in her uniform. She smiled brightly and said, “Nice pyjamas, Miss Carter.” My cheeks burned. At school, the children’s curiosity turned my private life into public entertainment. They asked about my home and my family. I began to feel as if I were living in a glass house. I tried to set boundaries, but it was easier said than done. And my Dad wasn’t exactly helpful. I returned home one afternoon to find him chatting with Thomas, who was hanging over the fence. My heart sank. I knew my whole class would soon know about my past. “I have an image to maintain!” I told Dad later. He promised to keep quiet, but I could tell he found it funny. One Saturday morning, I was at the supermarket when my phone rang. A woman’s voice spoke. “Miss Carter, this is Thomas’s mum. Your father’s had a fall in the garden, but he’s with Amelia’s mum and me now. Don’t panic — can you come home?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. Thomas’s and Amelia’s mothers were in my kitchen, calm and in control, while Dad sat pale and shaken, one hand pressed to his chest. And I quickly learnt how they had got there: Thomas and Amelia noticed Dad bending in pain in the garden and cried for help at once. “An ambulance is on its way — just to be on the safe side,” Amelia’s mother said. Seeing the two children hovering by the back door, I felt a sudden shift inside me. Their watchfulness, which had embarrassed me for weeks, had brought help when it mattered most. That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. On the way back, Dad mentioned how grateful he was to Thomas and Amelia. Without their quick eyes and action, the situation could have been far more serious. I thought about the past weeks — Thomas’s grin at the window, Amelia’s comment on my pyjamas, and the way I had tried so hard to set boundaries. I had been so focused on my lost privacy that I missed what was really happening. Those children weren’t spying; they were just being kids — curious, energetic, and surprisingly caring. Maybe being a bit nosy wasn’t such a bad thing after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者搬到学校附近居住，却时常被学生关注，隐私受限，令她十分尴尬，一直想要和学生划清界限。后来父亲在家意外摔倒，正是两名邻居学生及时发现并呼救，帮助父亲获得救助。作者最终明白，孩子们并非刻意窥探，只是天性好奇，实则善良热心，邻里间的关注也藏着温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我加快脚步赶回家，发现爸爸正由邻居们照顾着。”可知，第一段可描写正是两名邻居学生及时发现并呼救，帮助父亲获得救助。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，爸爸出院时只受了拉伤肌肉的伤。”可知，第二段可描写作者最终明白，孩子们并非刻意窥探，只是天性好奇，实则善良热心。 2.续写线索：爸爸正由邻居们照顾着——及时发现并呼救——帮助父亲获得救助——孩子们并非刻意窥探——邻里间的关注也藏着温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意：notice/ watch ②思考：think about/ reflect on ③了解到：learnt/ realized 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed / awkward ②感激的：grateful / appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1]Seeing the two children hovering by the back door, I felt a sudden shift inside me.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作Seeing状语） [高分句型2] Their watchfulness, which had embarrassed me for weeks, had brought help when it mattered most.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 龙城高级中学2025—2026学年第二学期 高二年级期中考试 英语试卷 本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Stanford CARE Explorers: AI × Precision Health High School Program The program is a dynamic two-week in-person summer experience designed for high school students passionate about improving health outcomes in Asian and Asian American communities and beyond.

When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers. What would she be without deadlines and department meetings? However, she did not remain in fear, but sought renewal in action. Her choice was unexpected for someone diagnosed with mild memory loss the year before: She would bake one pie and give it away every day for a year. She needed to prove she was still mentally capable. Using fruit from local markets, she filled her kitchen with the smell of cinnamon and warm butter. Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp. After making full preparations, she boarded a plane to California and baked a lemon pie in her brother’s kitchen. It was for her 88-year-old aunt, who had once taken her in during a painful chapter of her youth. “The perfect first pie,” she later said. Soon peach pies were delivered to old classmates, chocolate cream pies to a niece with newborn twins, and apple pies to former co-workers. Once, she even handed a pie to a homeless man outside a mall, which he shared with his friends, laughing in disbelief. Word spread quickly. Strangers began greeting her as “the pie lady”. Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection. Just as city planning had once brought order to chaos, baking did the same. Twelve years later, she still creates — writing daily letters, painting the changing sky, teaching her grandchildren to roll dough. Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again. 4. What initially troubled Woods about retirement? A. Identity loss. B. Economic uncertainty. C. Work-life imbalance. D. Social disconnection. 5. Why did Woods choose to bake pies? A. To relieve her physical pain. B. To reach her extended family. C. To confirm her mental ability. D. To earn community recognition. 6. What effect did giving away pies have on Woods? A. It connected her with charity. B. It strengthened her social ties. C. It enhanced her public reputation. D. It secured her financial stability. 7. What message does Woods’ story deliver? A. Love makes the world warmer. B. Action helps rebuild self-worth. C. Hard work leads to good luck. D. It’s never too late to pursue a dream. C Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 13. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 15. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s easy to give in to the winter hibernation (冬眠) urge — but countless studies have shown that outdoors activity is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of anxiety, depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). ____16____ Here’s how to make the best use of our natural health service. Starting small. “Sometimes getting out and running 5km was like climbing Everest. It would take me all day just to find the energy to get out,” says Alex Staniforth, a mental health campaigner. ____17____ Try opening a window, sitting by natural light, or bringing nature indoors with plants. When you’re ready, aim for short, achievable goals like a five-minute walk. You don’t need hours. Aiming for regular activity is key. ____18____ Mental health and fitness coach Gareth Jones emphasized that good planning and structure are crucial. “If you know you’re struggling with motivation, laying out all your kit — from your socks all the way up to the food you’re going to take — can be helpful,” he says. “____19____ You might want to get out when you get to the front door — but if you have to go and search for your trainers because they’re lost under the stairs somewhere, you may not feel like going out at all.” Group support. Social commitments can also act as motivation for people with depression and anxiety. Having other people around us — whether that’s joining a club or committing to something with a friend — can really help. ____20____ “People are very quick to post their accomplishments on social media, but what you don’t see is the build-up,” says Gareth. “It doesn’t matter where people are now in their lives, they’ve had to work to get there. And you’ll get there too.” A. A clear goal. B. A structured approach. C. However, don’t compare yourself to others. D. A disorganized life can affect your motivation. E. Therefore, doctors are encouraging people to go outdoors more. F. But time in nature isn’t the only cure for mental health problems. G. If this sounds familiar, remember even small steps can bring benefits. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor, eager to share postgraduation twists.

The students ____25____ and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that ____26____ the rest. Plain, simple ones were left ____27____ on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke. “I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, ____28____ the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no ____29____ to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.” The students fell silent, ____30____ by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are ____31____. They are tools to ____32____ life, but cannot alter its ____33____. Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you ____34____ missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that ____35____ our souls.” He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything.

So when I found a small house just around the corner from the school, I jumped at the chance. My mother wasn’t so sure. “Some of your pupils will probably be your neighbours,” she warned. “Your every move will be watched.” I laughed it off. What did I have to hide? But soon I realised she was right. The first weekend after I moved in, we sat outside, enjoying a simple meal, when Mum suddenly paused and tilted her head toward a bedroom window in the house behind mine. A boy’s grin was pressed to the glass. It was Thomas, the liveliest child in my class. He waved as if we were close friends. After that, the “small town effect” became impossible to ignore. One morning, still in my pyjamas (睡衣) and slippers, I rushed outside to put my bin out, only to notice Amelia standing beside me, neat in her uniform. She smiled brightly and said, “Nice pyjamas, Miss Carter.” My cheeks burned. At school, the children’s curiosity turned my private life into public entertainment. They asked about my home and my family. I began to feel as if I were living in a glass house. I tried to set boundaries, but it was easier said than done. And my Dad wasn’t exactly helpful. I returned home one afternoon to find him chatting with Thomas, who was hanging over the fence. My heart sank. I knew my whole class would soon know about my past. “I have an image to maintain!” I told Dad later. He promised to keep quiet, but I could tell he found it funny. One Saturday morning, I was at the supermarket when my phone rang. A woman’s voice spoke. “Miss Carter, this is Thomas’s mum. Your father’s had a fall in the garden, but he’s with Amelia’s mum and me now. Don’t panic — can you come home?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
