The offer came from an old friend, who knew I’d done casual outdoor work before, and the company was desperate — the previous worker had only lasted a month. If the company was desperate to fill the position, I was just as desperate to take it. For four years, I’d been struggling to write a novel for my postgraduate degree, but I’d failed completely. The experience left me emotionally exhausted. I wanted to run as far as possible from the literary world. I longed for fresh air, physical movement, and most of all, I wanted to rid myself of the desire to write forever. The job seemed simple — I carried a handheld device, went from property to property, and recorded the numbers. But the job was full of unexpected risks. The company’s system had warning codes (风险提示) for every address: Aggressive Customer, Bees in Meter Box, Dog in Yard. Some codes were years out of date, so I never knew what I’d find behind a gate. I was bitten by dogs, but I also made friends with many more. Once, I returned to my truck to find a bulldog sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, ready for an adventure. Another time, a horse suddenly charged at me while I was reading a meter. I jumped and escaped over a fence just in time, only to hear the owner laugh: “He just wanted to say hello!” My old truck also got stuck in muddy roads more than once, but kind strangers always stopped to help. During this year, something unexpected was happening. I started pulling over between houses to write down story ideas in my notebook. I wrote short stories during lunch breaks. Soon, I was waking up an hour earlier every morning just to write, before putting on my work boots and heading out. That year changed my life. The stunning countryside healed my broken spirit. Most importantly, I realized that I could never truly escape writing. It was part of who I was. That job didn’t take me away from writing — it brought me back to it. 4. Why did the author decide to take the meter-reading job? A. His old friend offered him the job. B. He wanted to escape his painful failure in writing. C. He needed money to continue his postgraduate study. D. He wanted to experience a different life in the countryside. 5. What happened to the author during his work? A. He was often attacked by aggressive customers. B. He was injured by a horse while reading a meter. C. He often received help from local strangers. D. A bulldog stole his notebook with story ideas. 6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. The author’s passion for writing returned little by little. B. The author gave up his job to focus on writing full-time. C. The author collected many stories from local residents. D. The author’s writing skills improved greatly during the year. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his experience? A. Hard work pays off. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. What’s in your heart will find its way out. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者写作深造失败后身心俱疲，选择乡村抄表工作逃离文学，最终重拾写作热爱、治愈自我的人生经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For four years, I’d been struggling to write a novel for my postgraduate degree, but I’d failed completely. The experience left me emotionally exhausted. I wanted to run as far as possible from the literary world.(四年来，我一直努力撰写研究生学位所需的小说，却彻底失败了。这段经历让我身心俱疲。我想要远离文学领域)”可知，作者接受这份抄表工作是为了逃离写作失败带来的痛苦。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“My old truck also got stuck in muddy roads more than once, but kind strangers always stopped to help.(我的旧卡车不止一次陷在泥泞的道路里，但善良的陌生人总会停下来帮忙)”可知，作者工作期间经常得到当地陌生人的帮助。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I started pulling over between houses to write down story ideas in my notebook. I wrote short stories during lunch breaks. Soon, I was waking up an hour earlier every morning just to write(我开始在住户之间的路段停车，在笔记本上写下故事灵感。我在午休时间写短篇小说。不久之后，我每天早起一小时只为写作)”可知，作者对写作的热情一点点复苏。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The stunning countryside healed my broken spirit. Most importantly, I realized that I could never truly escape writing. It was part of who I was.(美丽的乡村治愈了我破碎的心境。最重要的是，我意识到我永远无法真正逃离写作，它是我生命的一部分)”可知，作者领悟到内心热爱的事物终会显现、无法割舍。 C We are often troubled by a feeling that the digital world has gradually robbed our sincere social connections of certain deep and unique qualities. Recent official surveys indicate that around 80% of young people admit longing for a peaceful world free from the increasing presence of social media, yet few actually intend to refuse the steady advancement of society. Long before the internet gained widespread popularity, what they deeply treasure is the kind of true, natural and face-to-face communication that naturally developed warm and lasting friendships. Before social media took over everyday life, people tended to behave in a more sincere and individualistic manner. Nowadays, however, digital platforms have greatly sped up the spread of new trends, resulting in a striking uniformity among the public: we blindly buy the similar popular products, follow temporary fashions without reflection, act in increasingly predictable ways, and rely on fixed emojis to convey our deepest feelings. Even acts or personal thoughts that originally appear individual soon become online hits, gradually weakening people’s real personality and unique sense of identity. Perhaps the most severe issue is that social media has transformed precious friendship into a tool for online self-promotion. Moments of happiness and connection with friends are no longer simply sweet, private memories. Instead, they are often reduced to carefully staged posts and pictures designed to attract more likes and followers. We focus so fiercely on establishing a perfect but fake online image that we ignore the effort required to preserve true friendship, thereby turning close ties into shallow, performative interactions. Nostalgia (怀旧) for the past alone cannot solve this problem. While giving up the internet entirely is unrealistic in modern society, choosing a careful and balanced approach to digital consumption is important. We must devote more time to meaningful offline interactions, place greater value on heartfelt face-to-face conversations, and actively recover the warmth and truthfulness that make friendship truly valuable. 8. What do most young people feel about social media in paragraph 1? A. They are unaware of its negative impacts. B. They dislike it but feel forced to accept it. C. They accept its role in spreading new trends. D. They consider it essential for close friendships. 9. What does the underlined word “uniformity” probably mean? A. Sameness. B. Uniqueness. C. Popularity. D. Individuality. 10. What is necessary to keep true friendship in the digital age? A. Keeping private memories secret. B. Focusing on one’s online image. C. Avoiding digital platforms completely. D. Making efforts beyond online self-promotion. 11. What’s the best title of the text? A. Social Media Ruins Human Connections B. Social Issues Can not be Solved by Nostalgia C. Likes and Followers Can Define Friendship D. Real Communication Should be Valued in Digital Age 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要论述社交媒体削弱真实线下交往，并倡导平衡使用网络、重视真诚面对面交流。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Recent official surveys indicate that around 80% of young people admit longing for a peaceful world free from the increasing presence of social media, yet few actually intend to refuse the steady advancement of society.(近期官方调查显示，约80%的年轻人坦言渴望一个没有泛滥社交媒体的宁静世界，但几乎没人打算拒绝社会的稳步发展。)”可知，大多数年轻人反感社交媒体，却又不得不接受它。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Nowadays, however, digital platforms have greatly sped up the spread of new trends, resulting in a striking uniformity among the public: we blindly buy the similar popular products, follow temporary fashions without reflection, act in increasingly predictable ways, and rely on fixed emojis to convey our deepest feelings.(然而如今数字平台大幅加速潮流传播，造成大众明显的uniformity：我们盲目购买同款网红商品、不加思考跟风潮流、行为愈发趋同、用固定表情符号表达内心。)”以及后文列举人们行为喜好高度相似的表现，可推知uniformity意为“相同、一致”，与sameness同义。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Perhaps the most severe issue is that social media has transformed precious friendship into a tool for online self-promotion. Moments of happiness and connection with friends are no longer simply sweet, private memories. Instead, they are often reduced to carefully staged posts and pictures designed to attract more likes and followers. We focus so fiercely on establishing a perfect but fake online image that we ignore the effort required to preserve true friendship, thereby turning close ties into shallow, performative interactions.(或许最严峻的问题在于，社交媒体已然将珍贵的友情异化为线上自我展示的工具。那些与好友相伴的美好瞬间，不再只是温馨私密的回忆。取而代之的是精心摆拍、刻意编辑的动态与照片，目的只为收获更多点赞与关注。我们一心打造完美却虚假的网络人设，全然忽略维系真挚友谊所需的用心，最终让亲密的情谊沦为肤浅、流于表演的交往。)”可知，想要守住真正的友谊，不能只专注线上自我展示，还要付出线下真心的努力。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Nostalgia (怀旧) for the past alone cannot solve this problem. While giving up the internet entirely is unrealistic in modern society, choosing a careful and balanced approach to digital consumption is important. We must devote more time to meaningful offline interactions, place greater value on heartfelt face-to-face conversations, and actively recover the warmth and truthfulness that make friendship truly valuable.(仅仅沉湎怀旧并无法解决这一问题。在当今社会，彻底脱离网络并不现实，但我们应当理性、适度地使用网络数字产品，这一点至关重要。我们需要多花时间投入有意义的线下交往，更加珍惜发自内心的面对面交谈，主动找回那份赋予友谊真正价值的温情与真诚。)”可知，社交媒体冲淡真诚人际，完全舍弃网络不现实，我们应当多投入线下有意义的相处，珍惜真诚的面对面沟通。D选项“数字时代应重视真实交流”为最佳标题。 D Chinese, Australian and US researchers have revealed more about the extinction of the Gigantopithecus blacki great ape in their latest joint study published in Nature. The study found that Gigantopithecus blacki became extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago due to being unable to adapt its food preferences and behavior, as well as being vulnerable to the changing climate. With a height of about three meters and weight of about 250 kilograms, Gigantopithecus blacki is the largest primate that has ever existed on the Earth. It once wandered the plains of southern China and became extinct before humans arrived in the region, leaving around 2,000 fossilized teeth and four jawbones as the only signs of their existence. Scientists have long regarded its extinction as a mystery in paleontology (古生物学). After more than 10 years of research and a large-scale evidence collecting project on 22 cave sites across South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, researchers figured out the cause of its extinction. Six different dating techniques were applied to analyze the cave sediments and fossils. Luminescence dating was the primary technique, supported by uranium series and electron-spin resonance dating of the Gigantopithecus blacki teeth. By direct-dating the fossil remains, scientists provided a reliable timeline for the extinction of the species. The findings show its extinction time is much earlier than previously assumed. Before 700,000 years ago, Gigantopithecus blacki flourished in rich and diverse forest environments. However, 700,000 to 600,000 years ago, increased seasonal variations in the forest led to environmental diversification and changes in forest community structure. Orangutans, a close relative of Gigantopithecus blacki, adapted in size, behavior and habitat preferences as conditions changed. However, Gigantopithecus blacki had to rely on less nutritious food when its favorite food was unavailable. Meanwhile, its body grew larger and heavier, and its feeding geographical range was greatly reduced. Its population faced long-term survival pressure, shrank continuously and finally died out. “It was Gigantopithecus blacki’s stubbornness and conservatism that led to its demise,” Zhang, a Chinese paleontologist and co-lead author of the study noted. 12. What is the main cause of the extinction of Gigantopithecus blacki according to the study? A. Overhunting by humans. B. Insufficient livable habitats. C. A severe lack of adaptive capacity. D. Competition with other primate species. 13. How did the researchers determine the age of Gigantopithecus blacki fossils? A. By analyzing the size and weight of the fossils. B. Through observing environmental diversification. C. By studying the geographical range of Gigantopithecus blacki. D. Through various dating techniques to analyze cave sediments and fossils. 14. Why does the author mention Orangutans in paragraph 4? A. To show orangutans are more closely related to humans. B. To prove orangutans have a longer history of existence. C. To contrast the Gigantopithecus blacki’s failure to adapt to changes. D. To explain the competition between the two different primates. 15. What do we know about the Gigantopithecus blacki from the passage? A. The cause of its extinction was found quite easily. B. Its extinction time is earlier than people once believed. C. Humans arrived in South China before it became extinct. D. Its large body size helped it survive environmental pressure. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍中、澳、美三国科学家联合发表在《自然》上的研究，揭秘步氏巨猿的灭绝时间与灭绝原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The study found that Gigantopithecus blacki became extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago due to being unable to adapt its food preferences and behavior, as well as being vulnerable to the changing climate.(该研究发现，步氏巨猿在29.5万至21.5万年前灭绝，原因是它无法改变食性与行为，难以适应气候变化。)”以及最后一段“‘It was Gigantopithecus blacki’s stubbornness and conservatism that led to its demise,’ Zhang, a Chinese paleontologist and co-lead author of the study noted.(‘正是步氏巨猿自身顽固、难以变通的特性，最终导致了它的消亡。’参与该研究的中方古生物学家、论文共同第一作者张教授表示。)”可知，步氏巨猿的灭绝核心原因是它适应能力严重不足。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Six different dating techniques were applied to analyze the cave sediments and fossils. Luminescence dating was the primary technique, supported by uranium series and electron-spin resonance dating of the Gigantopithecus blacki teeth.(研究人员运用六种不同测年技术分析洞穴沉积物与化石，光释光测年为主，辅以铀系测年、巨猿牙齿电子自旋共振测年。)”可知，研究人员依靠多种测年技术分析沉积物与化石来判定化石年代。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Orangutans, a close relative of Gigantopithecus blacki, adapted in size, behavior and habitat preferences as conditions changed. However, Gigantopithecus blacki had to rely on less nutritious food when its favorite food was unavailable.(红毛猩猩是步氏巨猿的近亲，环境改变时它们在体型、行为、栖息偏好上做出适应；但步氏巨猿失去喜爱的食物后只能依靠低营养食物生存。)”可知，作者提及红毛猩猩是为了对比，突出步氏巨猿无法适应环境变化。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The findings show its extinction time is much earlier than previously assumed.(研究结果显示，它的灭绝时间比此前人们推测的要早得多。)”可知，步氏巨猿灭绝时间早于以往认知。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. ____16____ This leads to several benefits. Increases heart health As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. ____17____ One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health. Reduces physical pain Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. ____18____ Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers. ____19____ Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh. Boosts immunity Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. ____20____ Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes. A. Improves sleep. B. Improves social communication. C. Laughter helps reduce daily stress. D. This is much like how our body responds to exercise. E. These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness. F. But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception. G. Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了大笑对人体产生的多种生理益处，分别从保护心脏、缓解身体疼痛、改善睡眠、增强免疫力四个方面展开说明。 【16题详解】 由上文“It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs.(大笑能让我们吸入更多富氧空气，刺激肺部运作。)”以及下文“This leads to several benefits.(这会带来多种益处。)”可知，空处应继续补充大笑给身体带来的生理变化，G选项“Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.(放声大笑还能缓解肌肉紧张。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“also”与上文形成并列呼应，下文This指代选项中的“relieve tension in our muscles”。 【17题详解】 由上文“Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure.(大笑通过提升心率、降低血压来养护心脏。)”以及下文“One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily.(一项研究发现，几乎从不笑的人患心脏病的概率是每天大笑人群的1.21倍。)”可知，空处解释大笑护心的原理，D选项“This is much like how our body responds to exercise.(这和我们身体运动时的反应十分相似。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文“increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure”，“our body”与下文“heart disease”形成呼应。 【18题详解】 由上文“As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort.(当我们观看节目开怀大笑时，头痛等不适感会暂时得到缓解。)”以及下文“Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain.(人体内部会启动稳定机制，提升我们的抗痛能力。)”可知，单纯转移注意力并不是止痛的真正原因，F选项“But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.(但仅仅是转移注意力并不能减轻痛感。)”形成语义转折，引出下文体内止痛机制，符合题意，该选项中的“distraction”与上文“distracted”相呼应，“alone isn’t”与下文“enhance our ability”相呼应。 【19题详解】 由下文“Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better.(大笑还有另一项生理益处——改善睡眠。)”可知，本段核心为大笑改善睡眠，A选项“Improves sleep.(改善睡眠。)”作本段小标题，能总领整段内容，符合题意，该选项中的“sleep”与下文“sleep better”原词呼应。 【20题详解】 由上文“By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body.(大笑能增加体内产生抗体的细胞，并提升T细胞活性。)”以及下文“Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.(内科医生与心理健康专业人士可以借助大笑疗法，帮助患者收获良好的健康恢复效果。)”可知，空格处说明这些细胞的防病作用，E选项“These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness.(这些微小细胞如同防御军队，抵御疾病。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“These tiny things”指代上文“antibody-producing cells”、“T cells”，“fight illness”与下文“help patients”语义呼应。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you walk around the Rahway Path in the South Mountain Reservation, you might spot more than leaves, trees and squirrels.

However 44. a 45. has been passed 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国农历二十四节气中的大暑，讲解了大暑名字的由来和气候特点，还分享了各地大暑的传统习俗以及大暑节气对农业生产的影响。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：大暑是中国农历二十四节气中的第十二个节气，它在每年的7月22日到来。空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the 12th of the 24 solar terms，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，因此用关系代词which。 【37题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：它是夏季的最后一个节气，标志着酷暑达到顶峰。句子已有谓语动词is，空格处需用非谓语动词；逻辑主语It与动词mark之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词marking作状语。 【38题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：白天地球吸收的热量多于夜间散出的热量，逐日累积的热量达到顶峰。句子已有谓语动词is，空格处需用非谓语动词；逻辑主语The heat与动词absorb之间是被动关系，表示“被地球吸收的热量”，因此用过去分词absorbed作后置定语修饰The heat。 【39题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：这就是中国古人将其命名为“大暑”的原因。前文解释了大暑热量累积到顶峰的气候成因，此处引出命名的结果，That’s why...为固定句型，意为“这就是……的原因”，连接副词why引导表语从句。 【40题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：在福建，当地人吃荔枝和水蜜桃，因为这些水果可以提供能量、缓解夏乏。空格处作句子主语，表示“当地居民”，local为可数名词，此处表示复数概念，因此用复数形式locals。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：在广东，清凉草本甜品烧仙草极受欢迎。空格处修饰形容词popular作状语，需要用副词，extreme是形容词，其副词形式为extremely，意为“极其，非常”。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：在此节气期间，充足的降水加上日照，对农作物的生长有益。be beneficial to为固定搭配，意为“对……有益”。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，洪水、台风等自然灾害也频繁发生，会给农业生产造成巨大损失。前文提到降水日照对农作物有益，后文转折说到自然灾害带来的危害，空格处表示转折关系，且位于句首，与句子用逗号隔开，因此填However。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：正如俗语所说：“伏天热得狠，丰收才有准。”这里泛指“一个好收成”，good是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此用不定冠词a。 【45题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：这样的智慧被代代相传。主语Such wisdom和动词pass之间是被动关系，且表示从过去持续到现在的动作，因此用现在完成时的被动语态，结构为have/has been done；主语wisdom是不可数名词，助动词用has。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分 15 分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校在首届全国阅读周期间举办了系列读书活动。请你给美国朋友Jason写一封邮件介绍该活动，内容要点包括： 1. 活动时间与内容； 2. 你的感想。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右；2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jason, Knowing you are an enthusiastic reader, I’m writing to tell you about various reading activities organized in our school for the first National Reading Week.

On our first day, my parents told my brother Leo and me to always be polite and honest to our neighbors. Next door lived Mr. Jenkins, a retired man who mostly kept to himself. His garden was the neatest on the street, filled with colorful flowers, especially roses that he took very good care of. In the middle, on a small stone seat, sat a fine white ceramic (陶瓷的) bird. It looked old and was placed with great care. Last Saturday, while playing soccer with Leo in our backyard, I kicked the ball too hard. It flew over the wooden fence. We heard a sharp crack. Looking through the gaps, we saw the ball next to the stone seat. The white ceramic bird was in pieces. Leo cried, “Oh no! Mr. Jenkins!” Everyone knew Mr. Jenkins was a serious man who valued his quiet space. Just last month, a boy’s toy had landed in his yard, and Mr. Jenkins had returned it with a firm “Please be more careful,” but no smile. Fear rushed through me. “Quick! Inside!” I whispered, pulling Leo away before we were seen. For two days, I avoided the backyard, feeling guilty each time I glanced toward Mr. Jenkins’s house. But yesterday evening, while taking out the trash, I saw him. He was on his knees by the seat, slowly gathering the broken pieces into a small box. He held one piece, a wing, for a long time before placing it inside. His shoulders drooped (下垂), and he looked more sad than angry. My heart sank as I realized how much that little bird must have meant to him. 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。 That night, guilt kept me awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That night, guilt kept me awake. My parents’ words about honesty echoed in my mind, mixing with the image of Mr. Jenkins’s sad face. I imagined him finding the broken bird, piece by piece, all alone. Hiding felt like a second mistake, bigger than the first. I found Leo looking at Mr. Jenkins’s window. “We have to tell him and make up the loss,” I said, my voice firm. Leo nodded slowly and said, “I’ll go with you.” Courage began to push aside the fear. I knew apologizing was the only way forward. With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. I searched until I found a similar ceramic bird with the word “Hope” on it. It felt right. Holding it tightly, I walked to Mr. Jenkins’s door. My heart raced as I knocked. When he opened it, I took a deep breath. “Mr. Jenkins, I broke your bird. I am truly sorry. This is for you.” He looked at the gift, then at me. After a quiet moment, his expression softened. “Thank you for your courage,” he said gently. “Would you boys like to help me in the garden this weekend?” I nodded, smiling with relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家搬到枫树街后，作者不小心踢球打碎了邻居詹金斯先生珍爱的陶瓷鸟，因恐惧选择了逃避，但后来看到老人伤心的背影深感愧疚，最终决定用零花钱买一只新鸟赔罪并道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者内心的挣扎，回想起父母的教诲和詹金斯先生的悲伤，最终鼓起勇气决定坦白并承担责任。 ② 由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者购买替代礼物、登门道歉的过程，以及詹金斯先生态度的转变和对作者的谅解。 2. 续写线索： 内心煎熬——决定坦白——购买礼物——登门道歉——获得谅解——感悟成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 弥补损失：make up the loss/compensate for the loss ② 驱散：push aside the fear/set aside/dispel ③ 软化（态度）：soften/relax/ease up 情绪类 ① 悲伤的：sad/upset/sorrowful ② 坚定：firm/determined/resolute 【点睛】【高分句型1】I knew apologizing was the only way forward.(运用了省略了连接词that的宾语从句，动名词作主语) 【高分句型2】When he opened it, I took a deep breath.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 萍乡市2025 — 2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟，试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。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，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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.

B In 2011, I left Melbourne and took a job as an electricity meter (电表) reader in the countryside. The offer came from an old friend, who knew I’d done casual outdoor work before, and the company was desperate — the previous worker had only lasted a month. If the company was desperate to fill the position, I was just as desperate to take it. For four years, I’d been struggling to write a novel for my postgraduate degree, but I’d failed completely. The experience left me emotionally exhausted. I wanted to run as far as possible from the literary world. I longed for fresh air, physical movement, and most of all, I wanted to rid myself of the desire to write forever. The job seemed simple — I carried a handheld device, went from property to property, and recorded the numbers. But the job was full of unexpected risks. The company’s system had warning codes (风险提示) for every address: Aggressive Customer, Bees in Meter Box, Dog in Yard. Some codes were years out of date, so I never knew what I’d find behind a gate. I was bitten by dogs, but I also made friends with many more. Once, I returned to my truck to find a bulldog sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, ready for an adventure. Another time, a horse suddenly charged at me while I was reading a meter. I jumped and escaped over a fence just in time, only to hear the owner laugh: “He just wanted to say hello!” My old truck also got stuck in muddy roads more than once, but kind strangers always stopped to help. During this year, something unexpected was happening. I started pulling over between houses to write down story ideas in my notebook. I wrote short stories during lunch breaks. Soon, I was waking up an hour earlier every morning just to write, before putting on my work boots and heading out. That year changed my life. The stunning countryside healed my broken spirit. Most importantly, I realized that I could never truly escape writing. It was part of who I was. That job didn’t take me away from writing — it brought me back to it. 4. Why did the author decide to take the meter-reading job? A. His old friend offered him the job. B. He wanted to escape his painful failure in writing. C. He needed money to continue his postgraduate study. D. He wanted to experience a different life in the countryside. 5. What happened to the author during his work? A. He was often attacked by aggressive customers. B. He was injured by a horse while reading a meter. C. He often received help from local strangers. D. A bulldog stole his notebook with story ideas. 6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. The author’s passion for writing returned little by little. B. The author gave up his job to focus on writing full-time. C. The author collected many stories from local residents. D. The author’s writing skills improved greatly during the year. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his experience? A. Hard work pays off. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. What’s in your heart will find its way out. C We are often troubled by a feeling that the digital world has gradually robbed our sincere social connections of certain deep and unique qualities. Recent official surveys indicate that around 80% of young people admit longing for a peaceful world free from the increasing presence of social media, yet few actually intend to refuse the steady advancement of society. Long before the internet gained widespread popularity, what they deeply treasure is the kind of true, natural and face-to-face communication that naturally developed warm and lasting friendships. Before social media took over everyday life, people tended to behave in a more sincere and individualistic manner. Nowadays, however, digital platforms have greatly sped up the spread of new trends, resulting in a striking uniformity among the public: we blindly buy the similar popular products, follow temporary fashions without reflection, act in increasingly predictable ways, and rely on fixed emojis to convey our deepest feelings. Even acts or personal thoughts that originally appear individual soon become online hits, gradually weakening people’s real personality and unique sense of identity. Perhaps the most severe issue is that social media has transformed precious friendship into a tool for online self-promotion. Moments of happiness and connection with friends are no longer simply sweet, private memories. Instead, they are often reduced to carefully staged posts and pictures designed to attract more likes and followers. We focus so fiercely on establishing a perfect but fake online image that we ignore the effort required to preserve true friendship, thereby turning close ties into shallow, performative interactions. Nostalgia (怀旧) for the past alone cannot solve this problem. While giving up the internet entirely is unrealistic in modern society, choosing a careful and balanced approach to digital consumption is important. We must devote more time to meaningful offline interactions, place greater value on heartfelt face-to-face conversations, and actively recover the warmth and truthfulness that make friendship truly valuable. 8. What do most young people feel about social media in paragraph 1? A. They are unaware of its negative impacts. B. They dislike it but feel forced to accept it. C. They accept its role in spreading new trends. D. They consider it essential for close friendships. 9. What does the underlined word “uniformity” probably mean? A. Sameness. B. Uniqueness. C. Popularity. D. Individuality. 10. What is necessary to keep true friendship in the digital age? A. Keeping private memories secret. B. Focusing on one’s online image. C. Avoiding digital platforms completely. D. Making efforts beyond online self-promotion. 11. What’s the best title of the text? A. Social Media Ruins Human Connections B. Social Issues Can not be Solved by Nostalgia C. Likes and Followers Can Define Friendship D. Real Communication Should be Valued in Digital Age D Chinese, Australian and US researchers have revealed more about the extinction of the Gigantopithecus blacki great ape in their latest joint study published in Nature. The study found that Gigantopithecus blacki became extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago due to being unable to adapt its food preferences and behavior, as well as being vulnerable to the changing climate. With a height of about three meters and weight of about 250 kilograms, Gigantopithecus blacki is the largest primate that has ever existed on the Earth. It once wandered the plains of southern China and became extinct before humans arrived in the region, leaving around 2,000 fossilized teeth and four jawbones as the only signs of their existence. Scientists have long regarded its extinction as a mystery in paleontology (古生物学). After more than 10 years of research and a large-scale evidence collecting project on 22 cave sites across South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, researchers figured out the cause of its extinction. Six different dating techniques were applied to analyze the cave sediments and fossils. Luminescence dating was the primary technique, supported by uranium series and electron-spin resonance dating of the Gigantopithecus blacki teeth. By direct-dating the fossil remains, scientists provided a reliable timeline for the extinction of the species. The findings show its extinction time is much earlier than previously assumed. Before 700,000 years ago, Gigantopithecus blacki flourished in rich and diverse forest environments. However, 700,000 to 600,000 years ago, increased seasonal variations in the forest led to environmental diversification and changes in forest community structure. Orangutans, a close relative of Gigantopithecus blacki, adapted in size, behavior and habitat preferences as conditions changed. However, Gigantopithecus blacki had to rely on less nutritious food when its favorite food was unavailable. Meanwhile, its body grew larger and heavier, and its feeding geographical range was greatly reduced. Its population faced long-term survival pressure, shrank continuously and finally died out. “It was Gigantopithecus blacki’s stubbornness and conservatism that led to its demise,” Zhang, a Chinese paleontologist and co-lead author of the study noted. 12.

It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. ____16____ This leads to several benefits. Increases heart health As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. ____17____ One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health. Reduces physical pain Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. ____18____ Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers. ____19____ Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh. Boosts immunity Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. ____20____ Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes. A. Improves sleep. B. Improves social communication. C. Laughter helps reduce daily stress. D. This is much like how our body responds to exercise. E. These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness. F. But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception. G. Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you walk around the Rahway Path in the South Mountain Reservation, you might spot more than leaves, trees and squirrels.

On our first day, my parents told my brother Leo and me to always be polite and honest to our neighbors. Next door lived Mr. Jenkins, a retired man who mostly kept to himself. His garden was the neatest on the street, filled with colorful flowers, especially roses that he took very good care of. In the middle, on a small stone seat, sat a fine white ceramic (陶瓷的) bird. It looked old and was placed with great care. Last Saturday, while playing soccer with Leo in our backyard, I kicked the ball too hard. It flew over the wooden fence. We heard a sharp crack. Looking through the gaps, we saw the ball next to the stone seat. The white ceramic bird was in pieces. Leo cried, “Oh no! Mr. Jenkins!” Everyone knew Mr. Jenkins was a serious man who valued his quiet space. Just last month, a boy’s toy had landed in his yard, and Mr. Jenkins had returned it with a firm “Please be more careful,” but no smile. Fear rushed through me. “Quick! Inside!” I whispered, pulling Leo away before we were seen. For two days, I avoided the backyard, feeling guilty each time I glanced toward Mr. Jenkins’s house. But yesterday evening, while taking out the trash, I saw him. He was on his knees by the seat, slowly gathering the broken pieces into a small box. He held one piece, a wing, for a long time before placing it inside. His shoulders drooped (下垂), and he looked more sad than angry. My heart sank as I realized how much that little bird must have meant to him. 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。 That night, guilt kept me awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
