Fans of learning English with this show include baseball player Luis Severino and soccer coach Jürgen Klopp. Based around the long-term friendships and lives of six New Yorkers, Friends has won several Emmys and Golden Globes. The show is light-hearted, and the conversations are easygoing. The Big Bang Theory This popular American comedy follows the story of four socially awkward scientists from California and their neighbor. A lot of the series — especially in the early seasons — are mainly about physics, and the jokes are often science-related, so be prepared to learn some advanced words as well. Since the show has many characters from different cultural backgrounds, you can also hear different English accents (口音). The Great British Bake Off If you prefer British English, give this reality show a try. Unlike American cooking shows, which can often be quite stressful and very fast, this show’s combination of calming music, beautiful British accents, and people supporting each other is excellent for language learning. The English language used is simple and evenly paced, with phrases often heard in everyday British communication. Vocabulary mostly centers around baking, but there are also conversations about personal lives, enabling you to learn about British culture. The Crown The Crown is another British hit show that follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Although based on real events, it is also a historical drama. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s still a fantastic way to learn more about Britain’s history. The accents are obviously British, which makes this show a great fit for anybody wanting to learn more about British English. It must be noted that the English language used in the show is formal and less commonplace in the UK today. 1. Why are Luis Severino and Jürgen Klopp mentioned in the text? A. They build long-term friendships. B. They watch Friends to learn English. C. They know well about British culture. D. They are characters in a popular show. 2. What kind of English learners are most probably attracted to The Big Bang Theory? A. Those fond of sports. B. Those enjoying cooking. C. Those preferring calming music. D. Those interested in science. 3. What do The Great British Bake Off and The Crown have in common? A. They draw on American traditions. B. They are famous reality shows. C. They are full of British accents. D. They center on Britain’s history. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文推荐了四部适合学习英语的影视节目，分别介绍了每部作品的语言特点、内容风格以及适配的英语学习人群。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fans of learning English with this show include baseball player Luis Severino and soccer coach Jürgen Klopp.(借助这部剧集学习英语的爱好者包括棒球运动员路易斯・塞韦里诺和足球教练尤尔根・克洛普。)”可知，文中提及这两人是因为他们也观看《老友记》学习英语。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A lot of the series — especially in the early seasons — are mainly about physics, and the jokes are often science-related, so be prepared to learn some advanced words as well. (这部剧集的大部分内容（尤其是前几季）主要围绕物理学展开，剧中笑点也大多和科学相关，所以你还会接触到不少高阶词汇。)”可知，对科学感兴趣的英语学习者最有可能被《生活大爆炸》吸引。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike American cooking shows, which can often be quite stressful and very fast, this show’s combination of calming music, beautiful British accents, and people supporting each other is excellent for language learning. (美式烹饪节目往往节奏飞快、氛围紧张，与之不同，这档节目搭配舒缓的配乐、地道的英式口音，再加上嘉宾之间互帮互助的氛围，非常适合用来学习语言。)”以及第四段“The accents are obviously British, which makes this show a great fit for anybody wanting to learn more about British English. (节目里明显都是英式口音，因此很适合想要深入学习英式英语的观众。)”可知，《英国烘焙大赛》和《王冠》的共同点是都带有英式口音。 B Last term, I joined the school’s traditional music club, where I met my best friend Lily and fell in love with the guzheng. Knowing nothing about it at first, I even couldn’t tell the strings apart. Lily, a two-year guzheng learner, volunteered to teach me patiently. She often brought her guzheng to school, showed me its structure, explaining the function of each string and how they work together to produce beautiful sounds. Every afternoon after school, we would practice in the music room for an hour. Lily taught me how to hold the plectrum (琴拨) correctly and how to play basic notes. I made many mistakes at first, and sometimes I felt so frustrated that I wanted to give up. But Lily always encouraged me, saying, “Practice makes perfect, and your progress is obvious every day.” She even made a practice schedule for me, arranging 15 minutes for basic training and 45 minutes for simple pieces, and she would sit beside me to correct my mistakes in time. One month later, the club held a small performance. I was nervous to play in front of others, but Lily sat beside me and gave me a reassuring smile. When I played the first note, all my tension disappeared. I played a simple folk song, and the soft music moved everyone present. After the performance, our club teacher praised me highly, saying I had made great progress in such a short time and that my playing was full of emotion. Now, I can play several classic guzheng pieces skillfully. This experience not only let me know about traditional Chinese music but also taught me the importance of persistence (坚持不懈) and friendship. I’m grateful to Lily for her help and to the club for giving me such a precious chance to grow, which also made me more confident in facing challenges in life. 4. What did Lily first do to help the author learn the guzheng? A. She made a practice schedule for her. B. She lent her own guzheng to the author. C. She asked the club teacher for extra help. D. She explained how the strings work together. 5. Why did the author want to give up learning the guzheng? A. Her teacher was too strict with her. B. She found it too difficult to learn well. C. She had little time to practice after school. D. She couldn’t get on well with club members. 6. How did the club teacher find the author’s performance? A. Satisfying. B. Interesting. C. Disappointing. D. Worrying. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Talent alone leads to success in music. B. Friendship matters more than anything else. C. Playing an instrument requires patience only. D. Hard work and friendship bring personal growth. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了作者加入学校传统音乐俱乐部后，在好友莉莉的帮助下学习古筝，克服困难坚持练习并登台表演，最终收获技艺、成长与珍贵友谊的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“She often brought her guzheng to school, showed me its structure, explaining the function of each string and how they work together to produce beautiful sounds. (她经常把古筝带到学校，向我展示它的构造，讲解每根琴弦的作用以及它们如何协同发出优美的声音。)”可知，莉莉一开始向作者讲解琴弦如何配合发声来帮助作者学习古筝。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“I made many mistakes at first, and sometimes I felt so frustrated that I wanted to give up. (起初我犯了很多错误，有时我十分沮丧，想要放弃。)”可知，作者因为觉得古筝太难学好而想要放弃学习。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“After the performance, our club teacher praised me highly, saying I had made great progress in such a short time and that my playing was full of emotion. (表演结束后，俱乐部老师高度赞扬了我，说我在这么短的时间内进步很大，而且我的演奏饱含情感。)”可知，俱乐部老师认为作者的表演令人满意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“This experience not only let me know about traditional Chinese music but also taught me the importance of persistence and friendship. (这段经历不仅让我了解了中国传统音乐，也让我明白了坚持和友谊的重要性。)”可知，努力付出和友谊能够促进个人成长。 C Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers. Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild. To check if wild parrots use this way, scientists studied over 700 wild cockatoos in five Sydney areas. Two parrots from different places learned to eat blue or red colored nuts. Then a food box with these nuts was put there. After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes. In a third community, where there were no trained cockatoos, it took four days for the parrots to try the novel food items. But after one parrot — who had moved from the Balmoral Beach community — took the risk, 15 other parrots also ate the nuts within 10 minutes. By the end of the experiment, 349 individuals across five areas were eating colored nuts. The researchers also found males were more likely to influence the behavior of other males. Female parrots were more likely to change their behavior based on social information, regardless of the age or sex of the individuals they observed. What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices. Yet adult ones care more about their social partners’ actions. 8. What does the underlined word “imitation” in the first paragraph mean? A. Seeking social acceptance. B. Protecting their unique identity. C. Adopting habits from parents. D. Learning through observation. 9. How did parrots react after seeing trained ones eat colored nuts? A. They waited for four days. B. They tried them soon. C. They refused the new food. D. They changed their habits. 10. What did the study find about young parrots? A. They learned faster than adults. B. They were braver than adults. C. They followed most other parrots. D. They preferred social partners. 11. What can be inferred about social learning according to the text? A. It helps animals adapt to new environments. B. It belongs to human nature. C. It prevents animals from trying new foods. D. It works equally for male and female birds. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项新研究发现野生鹦鹉能够通过模仿同伴来学习尝试新食物。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers.(人类儿童和成人经常追随潮流，但这种imitation并非人类独有。一项新研究表明，野生鹦鹉会通过模仿同类来学习尝试新食物)”可知，this imitation指的是前面“人类儿童和成人追随潮流”这件事，结合后文讲述野生鹦鹉通过模仿同类的行为学习新食物，可推测出imitation的含义是“模仿”，即通过观察进行学习。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes.(在观察过经过训练的鹦鹉进食后，巴尔莫勒尔海滩的其他鹦鹉在七分钟之内就开始食用这些带颜色的坚果了)”可知，鹦鹉看到经过训练的鹦鹉吃彩色坚果后，很快就开始尝试这些新食物。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices.(更有趣的是，年幼的鹦鹉总会跟随其他鹦鹉，模仿大多数鹦鹉的选择)”可知，研究发现年幼鹦鹉会跟随大多数其他鹦鹉的选择。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild.(生活在城市环境中的动物会遇到不寻常的资源，在不断变化的城市中扩大饮食范围是至关重要的。但它们通常对不熟悉、可能有毒的食物十分谨慎。为了判断风险，一些动物会通过观察其他个体进行社会学习——这是很少在野外环境中研究的策略)”可知，社会学习可以帮助动物判断新食物的风险，扩大饮食范围，进而帮助它们适应不断变化的新环境。 D Every fall, billions of birds set off on their long southward journey to overwintering regions. Their journey is extraordinarily dangerous and exhausting. They can be blown off course in bad weather or crash into tall buildings. The incredible phenomenon of birds’ mass migration tends to escape our attention, as most migrating birds travel at night while we are sound asleep. This nighttime journey offers distinct advantages. They can rely on the stars as they find their way and use the cover of night to hide from natural enemies. Increasingly, however, urban light pollution poses a threat to migrating birds, misleading their flying direction and causing crashes into buildings. As global light pollution worsens by about 10 percent each year, birds are facing a severe survival crisis. The 2025 American Birds report identified one-third of all native bird species as high or moderate concern. Unlike other challenging conservation issues, light pollution is one we can all address easily in our own yards — simply by flipping a switch. Cities such as Flagstaff, Arizona, offer a model for communities looking to adopt policies that dramatically reduce artificial light pollution and preserve the night sky. By turning off unnecessary lights, directing light downward and using “warmer” colored lights, we can significantly reduce negative impacts on these migrating birds. Thanks to weather radar and recent technological advancements, scientists can now track bird migrations in real time and forecast their routes in advance. Drawing on the released migration schedules and routes, each of us can do our part: switch off outdoor lights, gather to observe the night sky, document sightings in detail and upload them to eBird, a free citizen-science platform where your participatory information can aid global bird protection and scientific research. It’s time to act now and guarantee that future generations can still witness the wonders of bird migration and the beauty of the starry night sky. 12. What is one benefit of birds migrating at night? A. Star guidance. B. Less noise. C. Human absence. D. Easier flight. 13. What are ordinary people expected to do for migrating birds? A. Avoid shining lights into the sky. B. Monitor migration routes. C. Eliminate indoor artificial lights. D. Categorize native bird species. 14. What’s the function of eBird according to the text? A. Issuing bird-watching locations. B. Performing live bird broadcasts. C. Funding global bird-related projects. D. Collecting bird observational data. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Dark Sky, Alarming Future B. Guard Wings Against Urban Light C. Light Pollution: A Growing Concern D. Bring Birds Lost in Chaos Back Home 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍鸟类夜间迁徙的优势，阐述城市光污染对候鸟的危害，并呼吁人们采取行动减少灯光污染保护候鸟。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They can rely on the stars as they find their way and use the cover of night to hide from natural enemies.(它们可以依靠星星辨别方向，并借助夜色掩护躲避天敌。)”可知，鸟类夜间迁徙的一大好处是可以借助星星导航。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By turning off unnecessary lights, directing light downward and using “warmer” colored lights, we can significantly reduce negative impacts on these migrating birds.(关掉不必要的灯光、将灯光向下照射、使用暖色调灯光，我们可以大幅减少对这些迁徙鸟类的负面影响。)”可知，普通人应避免向空中直射灯光，减少光污染对候鸟的误导。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Drawing on the released migration schedules and routes, each of us can do our part: switch off outdoor lights, gather to observe the night sky, document sightings in detail and upload them to eBird, a free citizen-science platform where your participatory information can aid global bird protection and scientific research.(借助公布的迁徙时间和路线，我们每个人都可以尽一份力：关掉户外灯光，相聚观测夜空，详细记录观测情况并上传至eBird，这是一个免费的公民科学平台，你提交的参与信息能够助力全球鸟类保护和科研工作。)”可知，eBird这个平台用来收集人们提交的鸟类观测资料。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“Increasingly, however, urban light pollution poses a threat to migrating birds, misleading their flying direction and causing crashes into buildings.(然而城市光污染严重威胁候鸟，误导航向并引发撞楼事故。)”以及后文介绍各地举措、普通人行动方式、科技追踪保护候鸟等内容可知，文章围绕抵御城市光污染、守护候鸟迁徙展开，所以“Guard Wings Against Urban Light(守护羽翼，远离城市流光)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 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。选项中有两项有多余选项。 Why You Should Join A Study Group Studying alone sometimes feels like aimlessly wandering a lonely island.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述年过四十的作者尝试诸多爱好排遣中年焦虑无果后，决定学习芭蕾，多年坚持后她接纳不完美的自己，从中获得成就感与自我认同。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：然后，出于无奈，我决定上一个芭蕾班。A. excitement兴奋；B. disappointment失望；C. surprise惊讶；D. desperation绝望。根据上文“By my early 40s, I had tried many hobbies to feel better about middle age but none worked.”可知，作者尝试很多爱好，都不满意，所以作者选择芭蕾实属无奈，没有办法了，固定短语in desperation意为“出于无奈，走投无路之下”。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：丈夫质疑我，因为我柔韧性差，身体活动方面的以往表现也不好。A. questioned询问，提问；B. supported支持；C. encouraged鼓励；D. doubted怀疑。根据下文原因状语从句“because I wasn’t flexible and had a poor record with physical activities.”可知，作者的丈夫认为作者柔韧性差，认为她不适合芭蕾，对此做法持怀疑态度。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，我是坚定的。A. determined有决心的；B. frightened害怕的；C. satisfied满意的；D. confused困惑的。根据上文“My husband ______ me because I wasn’t flexible and had a poor record with physical activities.”及本句首“Still”可知，Still表转折，丈夫怀疑作者的选择，然而作者应该是坚决的，不会放弃。 【24题详解】 考查副词。句意：我需要知道，我的身体可以优雅地舞动。A. quickly快速地；B. gracefully优雅地；C. strongly强烈地；D. casually随意地。根据上文“Still, I was ______. ”可知，作者坚持练芭蕾，应该是认为自己能学会优雅地跳舞，芭蕾动作是很优雅地舞动。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：在前往多伦多国家芭蕾舞学校的第一堂课之前，我翻出了一个水钻发带，它已经在我抽屉里放了多年。A. made制作，使；B. bought买；C. found发现，找到；D. grabbed抓住，夺取，吸引。根据下文“that had been in my drawer for years.”可知，这个发带是作者以前就有的，在抽屉里放着了，作者把它找了出来。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我心想，或许戴上它，能让我更从容地在别人面前展示自己不够完美的姿态。A. terrible可怕的，糟糕的；B. imperfect不完美的；C. beautiful美丽的；D. ugly丑陋的。根据上文“because I wasn’t flexible and had a poor record with physical activities.”及下文“Though my jumps weren’t high, my hips (髋部) shook during some ________, and my spins (旋转) were ________”可知，作者身体柔韧度差，动作不灵活，开始练芭蕾舞蹈动作应该是不完美的。 【27题详解】 考查形容词。句意：那些曾经令我厌恶的重复动作，如今却让我感到喜悦。A. difficult困难的；B. simple简单的；C. repetitive重复的；D. interesting有趣的。根据上文“This wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio, but things were different now.”及后面定语从句“I once hated”可知，以前作者讨厌芭蕾舞蹈的练习，该空与第8空应该是相反的，以前觉得练芭蕾重复无趣，现在觉得快乐。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. pain痛苦，疼痛；B. trouble麻烦；C. stress压力，重音；D. joy快乐，愉悦。根据上文“This wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio, but things were different now. The ______exercises I once hated”可知，作者对芭蕾舞训练的态度变了，以前讨厌芭蕾动作重复枯燥，那么现在应该是喜欢的，觉得芭蕾舞训练给自己带来快乐。 【29题详解】 考查副词。句意：当我担心动作做不好时，老师告诉我，芭蕾舞是追求完美，而不是变得完美无缺。A. correctly正确地；B. slowly缓慢地；C. carefully仔细地；D. loudly大声地。根据下文“my teacher said ballet is about striving for perfection, not being perfect.”可知，老师说芭蕾舞训练是一直追求完美，不是做到完美，这是在作者担心自己的动作做得不正确时对她的鼓励。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：这个建议深深触动了我。A. influenced影响；B. touched触碰，感动，触动；C. annoyed使生气；D. bored使厌烦。根据上文“When I worried about not doing moves ______, my teacher said ballet is about striving for perfection, not being perfect.”可知，老师的话语让作者放下担忧，深深感动了作者。 【31题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：渐渐地，我在镜中对自己的身体变得更加自在。A. out of place不合适；B. on edge处于边缘，紧张不安；C. at ease自在，轻松；D. under pressure承受压力。根据下文“Though my jumps weren’t high, my hips (髋部) shook during some _____, and my spins (旋转) were _______, I felt encouraged. Ballet made me_________ my body in a new way.”可知，作者在老师的开解下，不再焦虑，虽然动作不完美，但是对着镜子中自己的身体感觉很自在，接纳自己。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：虽然我的跳跃并不高，做某些动作时髋部会微微颤抖，旋转也不够平衡，但我内心却感到深受鼓舞。A. moves动作；B. places地方；C. degrees程度，学位；D. stays逗留，停留，暂住。根据前面让步状语从句“Though my jumps weren’t high, my hips (髋部) shook”可知，作者是在练习芭蕾动作过程中髋部摇晃，这是在说自己的动作不完美。 【33题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. terrible糟糕的，极坏的；B. fast快速的；C. unbalanced不平衡的；D. slow缓慢的。根据上文“Though my jumps weren’t high, my hips (髋部) shook during some _____”可知，作者此处在举例说明自己的舞蹈动作不完美，应该是做旋转动作时身体平衡做得不好。 【34题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：芭蕾舞让我以一种全新的方式看待自己的身体。A. think about思考，考虑；B. look at看；C. talk about谈论；D. hear about听说。根据第一段中“My husband _____ me because I wasn’t flexible and had a poor record with physical activities. Still, I was ________. I needed to know my body could move ______”可知，作者以前的身体不灵活，想要证明自己，现在因为练芭蕾舞使自己以一种新的方式看待自己的身体。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：我一直在跳舞，因为这让我不断挑战自我，并提醒着我的潜力。A. potential潜力，可能性；B. talent天赋，才艺；C. future未来；D. problem问题。根据上文“Eight years later, I’m still an advanced beginner. At 50, I’m a ballerina in my own way.”和下文“Recently, when I tried a simple version of a famous ballet move at home, I truly felt like a ballerina.”可知，作者从40多岁一直坚持跳舞8年，她以自己的方式成为一名芭蕾舞者，在家跳舞时她认为自己像一个真正的芭蕾舞者，打破了身体韧性差不能跳舞的束缚，说明学习芭蕾舞的过程让作者发现了自己的潜能。 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式 A few years ago, I had an unusual experience.

Tim, a determined but easily-frustrated student, was facing a big challenge in math. His previous test scores were far from satisfactory, which made him quite worried about the coming mid-term exam. He spent hours every day doing math exercises, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became. One day, after another disappointing practice test, Tim almost gave up. He sat alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at the test paper full of red crosses. Just then, his math teacher, Mr. Smith, came in. Noticing Tim’s distress, Mr. Smith sat beside him and said softly, “Tim, I know you’ve been working hard. Everyone has setbacks in learning. The key is not to be defeated by them.” With that, Mr. Smith patiently went through the test paper with Tim, explaining the mistakes one by one and giving him some useful study tips. Encouraged by Mr. Smith, Tim decided to change his learning method. He started to make a detailed study plan, dividing the math knowledge into small parts and solving problems step by step. He also joined a study group in the class. In the study group, he could discuss difficult questions with his classmates. As the mid-term exam was approaching, Tim was both nervous and looking forward to it. On the day before the exam, while he was doing the last-minute review, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The headache got worse and worse, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 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。 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. His mind blank and heart messy, he was at such a complete loss that he had no clue about what action to take. He buried his face in the quilt, tears blurring his eyes for a long time and finally overflowing almost uncontrollably as waves of frustration swept over him. The harder he strove to compose himself, the more restless and distracted he felt. Just at this critical moment, the louder ring of the phone broke the silence when anxiety had almost overwhelmed him. It turned out to be his math teacher. Mr. Smith encouraged him, “Tim, don’t be stressed. You have started diligently and made remarkable progress these days.” His timely encouragement was as comforting as a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds of his anxiety. Tim took a deep breath, gradually calmed down and finally managed to get some sleep. The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. Pregnant with a mix of worry and determination, Tim unfolded the test paper. The instant his eyes landed on the paper, he found the problems manageable and accessible to tackle. For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language but more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. With Mr. Smith’s encouragement echoing in his mind and a newfound sense of confidence cultivated, he solved all the problems smoothly. Upon the release of the results, he got a much more satisfactory grade. A look of relief tinged with excitement appeared on his face. It dawned on him that with the courage to continue in the face of adversity, even the hardest challenges could be victories. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了高一学生Tim在数学学习上遇到困难，之前考试成绩不理想，在数学老师Mr. Smith 的鼓励和帮助下，他改变学习方法并加入学习小组。然而，在期中考试前一天，Tim突然头痛，影响了复习，他焦虑得难以入睡。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尽管Tim知道他需要好好休息，但他对考试太焦虑了，睡不着觉。”可知，第一段可描写Tim 因焦虑难以入睡的状态描写以及可能出现外界因素帮助他缓解焦虑。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Tim在史密斯先生的鼓励下去了考场”可知，第二段可描写Tim带着鼓励进入考场的状态及考试过程、考试结果及 Tim 的感悟。 2. 续写线索：焦虑难眠——老师来电鼓励——缓解焦虑入睡——带着鼓励进考场——顺利考试——取得好成绩——获得感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate ②努力：strive/endeavor ③平静下来：calm down/compose oneself 情绪类： ① 宽慰：relief/comfort ② 沮丧：frustration/depression 【点睛】【高分句型1】With Mr. Smith’s encouragement echoing in his mind and a newfound sense of confidence cultivated, he solved all the problems smoothly.（运用了with复合结构） 【高分句型2】It dawned on him that with the courage to continue in the face of adversity, even the hardest challenges could be victories.（运用了that引导的主语从句，it作形式主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥百花中学等四校2025~2026学年第二学期高一年级期末考试 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 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。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Fans of learning English with this show include baseball player Luis Severino and soccer coach Jürgen Klopp. Based around the long-term friendships and lives of six New Yorkers, Friends has won several Emmys and Golden Globes. The show is light-hearted, and the conversations are easygoing. The Big Bang Theory This popular American comedy follows the story of four socially awkward scientists from California and their neighbor. A lot of the series — especially in the early seasons — are mainly about physics, and the jokes are often science-related, so be prepared to learn some advanced words as well. Since the show has many characters from different cultural backgrounds, you can also hear different English accents (口音). The Great British Bake Off If you prefer British English, give this reality show a try. Unlike American cooking shows, which can often be quite stressful and very fast, this show’s combination of calming music, beautiful British accents, and people supporting each other is excellent for language learning. The English language used is simple and evenly paced, with phrases often heard in everyday British communication. Vocabulary mostly centers around baking, but there are also conversations about personal lives, enabling you to learn about British culture. The Crown The Crown is another British hit show that follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Although based on real events, it is also a historical drama. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s still a fantastic way to learn more about Britain’s history. The accents are obviously British, which makes this show a great fit for anybody wanting to learn more about British English. It must be noted that the English language used in the show is formal and less commonplace in the UK today. 1. Why are Luis Severino and Jürgen Klopp mentioned in the text? A. They build long-term friendships. B. They watch Friends to learn English. C. They know well about British culture. D. They are characters in a popular show. 2. What kind of English learners are most probably attracted to The Big Bang Theory? A. Those fond of sports. B. Those enjoying cooking. C. Those preferring calming music. D. Those interested in science. 3. What do The Great British Bake Off and The Crown have in common? A. They draw on American traditions. B. They are famous reality shows. C. They are full of British accents. D. They center on Britain’s history. B Last term, I joined the school’s traditional music club, where I met my best friend Lily and fell in love with the guzheng. Knowing nothing about it at first, I even couldn’t tell the strings apart. Lily, a two-year guzheng learner, volunteered to teach me patiently. She often brought her guzheng to school, showed me its structure, explaining the function of each string and how they work together to produce beautiful sounds. Every afternoon after school, we would practice in the music room for an hour. Lily taught me how to hold the plectrum (琴拨) correctly and how to play basic notes. I made many mistakes at first, and sometimes I felt so frustrated that I wanted to give up. But Lily always encouraged me, saying, “Practice makes perfect, and your progress is obvious every day.” She even made a practice schedule for me, arranging 15 minutes for basic training and 45 minutes for simple pieces, and she would sit beside me to correct my mistakes in time. One month later, the club held a small performance. I was nervous to play in front of others, but Lily sat beside me and gave me a reassuring smile. When I played the first note, all my tension disappeared. I played a simple folk song, and the soft music moved everyone present. After the performance, our club teacher praised me highly, saying I had made great progress in such a short time and that my playing was full of emotion. Now, I can play several classic guzheng pieces skillfully. This experience not only let me know about traditional Chinese music but also taught me the importance of persistence (坚持不懈) and friendship. I’m grateful to Lily for her help and to the club for giving me such a precious chance to grow, which also made me more confident in facing challenges in life. 4. What did Lily first do to help the author learn the guzheng? A. She made a practice schedule for her. B. She lent her own guzheng to the author. C. She asked the club teacher for extra help. D. She explained how the strings work together. 5. Why did the author want to give up learning the guzheng? A. Her teacher was too strict with her. B. She found it too difficult to learn well. C. She had little time to practice after school. D. She couldn’t get on well with club members. 6. How did the club teacher find the author’s performance? A. Satisfying. B. Interesting. C. Disappointing. D. Worrying. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Talent alone leads to success in music. B. Friendship matters more than anything else. C. Playing an instrument requires patience only. D. Hard work and friendship bring personal growth. C Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers. Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild. To check if wild parrots use this way, scientists studied over 700 wild cockatoos in five Sydney areas. Two parrots from different places learned to eat blue or red colored nuts. Then a food box with these nuts was put there. After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes. In a third community, where there were no trained cockatoos, it took four days for the parrots to try the novel food items. But after one parrot — who had moved from the Balmoral Beach community — took the risk, 15 other parrots also ate the nuts within 10 minutes. By the end of the experiment, 349 individuals across five areas were eating colored nuts. The researchers also found males were more likely to influence the behavior of other males. Female parrots were more likely to change their behavior based on social information, regardless of the age or sex of the individuals they observed. What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices. Yet adult ones care more about their social partners’ actions. 8. What does the underlined word “imitation” in the first paragraph mean? A. Seeking social acceptance. B. Protecting their unique identity. C. Adopting habits from parents. D. Learning through observation. 9. How did parrots react after seeing trained ones eat colored nuts? A. They waited for four days. B. They tried them soon. C. They refused the new food. D. They changed their habits. 10. What did the study find about young parrots? A. They learned faster than adults. B. They were braver than adults. C. They followed most other parrots. D. They preferred social partners. 11. What can be inferred about social learning according to the text? A. It helps animals adapt to new environments. B. It belongs to human nature. C. It prevents animals from trying new foods. D. It works equally for male and female birds. D Every fall, billions of birds set off on their long southward journey to overwintering regions. Their journey is extraordinarily dangerous and exhausting. They can be blown off course in bad weather or crash into tall buildings. The incredible phenomenon of birds’ mass migration tends to escape our attention, as most migrating birds travel at night while we are sound asleep. This nighttime journey offers distinct advantages. They can rely on the stars as they find their way and use the cover of night to hide from natural enemies. Increasingly, however, urban light pollution poses a threat to migrating birds, misleading their flying direction and causing crashes into buildings. As global light pollution worsens by about 10 percent each year, birds are facing a severe survival crisis. The 2025 American Birds report identified one-third of all native bird species as high or moderate concern. Unlike other challenging conservation issues, light pollution is one we can all address easily in our own yards — simply by flipping a switch. Cities such as Flagstaff, Arizona, offer a model for communities looking to adopt policies that dramatically reduce artificial light pollution and preserve the night sky. By turning off unnecessary lights, directing light downward and using “warmer” colored lights, we can significantly reduce negative impacts on these migrating birds. Thanks to weather radar and recent technological advancements, scientists can now track bird migrations in real time and forecast their routes in advance. Drawing on the released migration schedules and routes, each of us can do our part: switch off outdoor lights, gather to observe the night sky, document sightings in detail and upload them to eBird, a free citizen-science platform where your participatory information can aid global bird protection and scientific research. It’s time to act now and guarantee that future generations can still witness the wonders of bird migration and the beauty of the starry night sky. 12. What is one benefit of birds migrating at night? A. Star guidance. B. Less noise. C. Human absence. D. Easier flight. 13. What are ordinary people expected to do for migrating birds? A. Avoid shining lights into the sky. B.

His previous test scores were far from satisfactory, which made him quite worried about the coming mid-term exam. He spent hours every day doing math exercises, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became. One day, after another disappointing practice test, Tim almost gave up. He sat alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at the test paper full of red crosses. Just then, his math teacher, Mr. Smith, came in. Noticing Tim’s distress, Mr. Smith sat beside him and said softly, “Tim, I know you’ve been working hard. Everyone has setbacks in learning. The key is not to be defeated by them.” With that, Mr. Smith patiently went through the test paper with Tim, explaining the mistakes one by one and giving him some useful study tips. Encouraged by Mr. Smith, Tim decided to change his learning method. He started to make a detailed study plan, dividing the math knowledge into small parts and solving problems step by step. He also joined a study group in the class. In the study group, he could discuss difficult questions with his classmates. As the mid-term exam was approaching, Tim was both nervous and looking forward to it. On the day before the exam, while he was doing the last-minute review, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The headache got worse and worse, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 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。 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
