Our workshop will take place from June 29 to July 23. If you are in Paris for a few weeks in July and want your children to take this opportunity to learn French while having fun, meeting other children and discovering the city, our workshops for kids (ages 4~7) and children (8~12) are perfect for you. Frequency & Lesson Schedule Flexible: a weekly lesson (90 or 120 minutes, or more if you wish). An intensive program is also available (up to 12 hours per week). A flexible and personalized schedule that takes into account weekends and school holidays. French Lessons for Every Age Group Between 4 to 7 years old: With our private French lessons for children, your kids will immerse themselves in the language through games, songs, and activities. Our lessons enable children to flourish and effortlessly acquire French, while making them enjoy themselves without feeling pressured or even realizing they are learning. A communicative and creative approach will help give your children confidence in speaking. Children 8 to 12 Years Old: Our courses are focused on conversational French. Generally speaking, children in this age group tend to broaden their vocabulary and use French more spontaneously (自然地). At this stage, children are now able to make full use of a range of different skills, including reading and writing in French. Outings can be part of the programme. Paris, during every season, offers an endless list of activities suitable for children. If your children dream of climbing to the top floor of the Eiffel Tower, or seeing wild animals at a zoo in the heart of Paris, our lessons are designed with their needs in mind. 21.

B Sophie had always admired her grandmother’s garden. Every summer, the small backyard burst with colors — roses, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs growing in neat rows. To Sophie, it seemed like magic. But she never imagined herself doing the same. Gardening looked like hard, dirty work, and she preferred spending her free time indoors with books and music. That changed when her grandmother injured her knee one spring and asked Sophie to help with the planting. “Just for a few weeks,” she promised. Sophie agreed, though she doubted if she would enjoy it. The first day was awkward. Sophie dug holes too deep, watered plants too much, and mistook young weeds for vegetable seedlings (幼苗) . But her grandmother never lost patience. She guided Sophie gently, her wrinkled hands showing the girl how to press seeds into the soil with the right touch. “Plants don’t need perfection,” she said. “They need attention and time.” Gradually, Sophie found herself drawn into the garden’s slow rhythm. She learned to notice the subtle changes — a new bud (花蕾) opening, the way tomato leaves curled when thirsty. The work was physical and sometimes tiring, but it cleared her mind in a way that books and music never quite had. There was something deeply satisfying about caring for a living thing from seed to harvest. By midsummer, Sophie was harvesting vegetables for family dinners. She felt quite proud as her parents praised the salads made from her lettuce and tomatoes. More importantly, she discovered a side of herself she hadn’t known existed: patient, attentive, and capable of making things grow. The garden taught Sophie that meaningful things take time and effort. That lesson followed her beyond the backyard. She found herself applying the same steady patience to her schoolwork and other challenges. What began as a simple favor had grown into something far more valuable — a new understanding of herself. 24. Why did Sophie start helping in the garden? A. She was eager to be skilled at gardening. B. Her grandmother needed aid due to an injury. C. She had been tired of staying indoors all day. D. Her parents wanted her to experience garden tasks. 25. Which words best describe Sophie’s grandmother as a teacher? A. Patient and encouraging. B. Cheerful and outgoing. C. Talkative and humorous. D. Energetic and adventurous. 26. How did Sophie feel after spending more time in the garden? A. She realized she preferred planting flowers. B. She mainly looked forward to the final harvest. C. She found it boring and wanted to stop quickly. D. She became interested and her mind felt refreshed. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Everyone should learn gardening as a practical skill. B. Helping family members can build stronger family bonds. C. A new attempt can bring personal growth and self-discovery. D. Engaging in outdoor physical activities is more rewarding. C Trees that talk back might sound like something fresh out of a dreamlike trip, but a high-tech initiative aimed at bridging the divide between youth culture and nature has turned fantasy into reality. Specifically, London-based agency Droga5 came up with the campaign for the creative activity, Agency for Nature, giving voice to trees in London, Dublin and Austin, Texas. To achieve this “talking” function, bioelectrical signals from each tree were transformed into speech through an AI large language model. It was fed insights about the trees’ lifespans and histories, alongside data from biosensors that record metrics (指标) such as wind speed, temperature and soil moisture (湿度). Additionally, the AI acted as the “brain” of the trees, shaping their unique personalities and enabling real-time conversations with more than 100 people — with sometimes touching results. For example, “Your care warms me,” a 50-year-old oak (橡树) told Austin mayor Steve Adler, who asked how he might improve its life. “More stable temperatures and consistent moisture would help. Thank you for asking,” the tree replied. When discussing the purpose of the campaign, Evan Greally from Droga5 explained, “My hope was to make people care again, to bring out some care for something bigger than ourselves.” Looking to the future, plans are in progress, but under wraps for now, to give voice to more trees. In the meantime, the team said the AI application could one day be used by farmers to chat with their crops, or to predict wildfires by talking to forests. Commenting on the tool’s potential, Greally’s colleague Chip McCoy added, “There’s an element of endless possibility to it. We have this tool, and it’s in the hands of everybody how we use it for the better.” 28. How does the AI system give trees “voices”? A. By planting devices in tree trunks. B. By reproducing tree sounds from forests. C. By translating biological data into speech. D. By recording human conversations nearby. 29. What message does the campaign convey about nature? A. Nature should be understood with feeling. B. Trees will control future city development. C. Technology can completely explain nature. D. City expansion damages tree development. 30. What future application is mentioned for the AI tool? A. Producing tree recorders. B. Predicting natural disasters. C. Designing urban green spaces. D. Creating tree-based social media. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the talking trees project? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Enthusiastic. D More than 50% of a scientist’s productivity results from the institution where they work, according to a new study that tracked the publications of researchers as they moved during their career. The findings support a long-running debate over whether to prevent limited grant (拨款) from being concentrated at a handful of big-name universities. The study illustrates a phenomenon familiar to many academics. Picking someone up and moving them to a more productive place will make them more productive. The new study collected data from about 300,000 U. S. -based scientists who published between 1945 and 2023. When a researcher moved from a less productive institution to one with higher average productivity, they became more productive as well, according to a “wandering scholar” analysis. The team notes that it could be something about resources, facilities and graduate students that led to productivity gains. A previous study supports that: Faculty (教职人员) at top U. S. universities who work in fields where cooperation and co-authorship are normal were more productive because they led larger lab groups, researchers reported in a 2022 paper. “It’s this labor that increases faculty productivity,” says Aaron Clauset, a computer scientist and senior author on the 2022 study. The study also supports a decades-long policy discussion about how to distribute government grant money, showing the benefits of favoring the top institutions. Some argue against further enriching highly productive institutions. “Those institutions are in a position to make more productive faculty because they’ve received abundant research support over decades. Distributing resources to them disproportionately (不成比例地) would reflect the historical inequities that have created differences,” says Kirk Dombrowski from a nonprofit that promotes science in poorly funded states. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has long-running programs that reserve a part of their budget for projects in states having the least funding through traditional funding tracks. It’s vital that government investments are geographically dispersed, as additional funding could help locally produced researchers and result in work that solves regional problems. 32. What does the new study find? A. Researchers often move for higher pay. B. Career success is defined by publications. C. Scientists’ productivity relies on institutions. D. Most grants flow to well-known universities. 33. What can contribute to academic productivity according to the 2022 study? A. High salaries and job security. B. Strict publication requirements. C. Frequent international conferences. D. Large lab groups and cooperation. 34. What’s the significance of the work of NSF? A. It strengthens international cooperation. B. It supports poorly funded states’ research. C. It helps locally distinguished institutions. D. It reduces the workload of local institutes. 35. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in the last paragraph mean? A. Widespread. B. Diverse. C. Restricted. D. Practical. 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。 Looking for life purpose? The answer isn’t grand deeds but small daily actions building social connections and a sense of being valued. ___36___ . Author Jennifer Wallace explains the human need to feel valued is fundamental, driving our behavior after meeting basic needs of food and shelter. This sense of mattering is closely linked to better mental health. ___37___ Wallace found people feel valued in tiny moments: a saved seat, a colleague’s check-in or a neighbor’s warm soup. Small kindnesses like walking an elderly neighbor’s dog or praising a colleague’s efforts work. These acts are contagious (有感染力的) — making others worthy brings you a sense of value in return, creating a connection cycle. Embrace the “beautiful mess” effect Connections help us get through hardships, as a study found a hill seems less steep (陡峭的) with a friend beside you. ___38___ . Yet many hide their struggles, fearing to push friends away. In fact, sharing weaknesses makes us more genuine and draws people closer, a psychological effect Wallace names the “beautiful mess” effect. Accept invitations openly When facing difficulties, Wallace imagines a hill and asks who will stand with her. She advises turning to people with similar experiences for advice, and embracing invitations — both accepting and extending them. A single woman inviting friends for dinner and a stressed teacher having regular lunch with colleagues both found connection and relief this way. ___39___ . Evaluate how you matter Single acts aren’t enough for a sense of purpose; daily practice is needed. ___40___ . Each night, she writes down when she felt valued and where she added value, ending days with gratitude and self-worth. Finding life purpose is a daily practice of small acts, weakness and connection. A. Listen to others in hard times B. Seek purpose with a small thing C. Friendships ease life’s stress and hardships D. Turn small valued feelings into daily actions E. Wallace has a simple nightly reflection practice F. Everyone can follow this mindset in hard times G. This need to feel valued shapes our well-being and meaning 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In Houston, two brothers are turning their days off into chances to give back.

But what her employees and everyone else didn’t know was that, in secret, she had been trying to write a mystery novel. She always loved reading and thought about one day possibly writing a novel. Her father, a mechanic, knowing what she wished to do, said, “Writing is a wonderful hobby, but you’re going to need a paying job to live.” So she learned about car repair from her father, as well as a local engineering school. Most of the time, Marie’s writing went well, leaving her in a good mood. But when it didn’t, her mood would sour and she’d say to anyone who noticed, “I didn’t sleep well last night.” Eventually, she came to the end of her manuscript (手稿) and sent it out to a number of agents for consideration. Most replies came back with the same message: thanks but no thanks. It soured her mood. And then just as she was thinking about giving up on her dream, she got a request from an agent to see her completed manuscript. She was so happy, and she practically sang at work. Her employees noticed. She explained, “I bought one of those sleep aids they advertise on TV. I slept like a baby.” Time passed and the agent sent suggestions for corrections. At first, Marie wasn’t sure she wanted to make them, but eventually she did. Even more time passed while she waited for the agent to get back to her. Once he did, his suggestions were less disturbing. Finally happy with the results, the agent contacted several publishers and got a yes from a small New England firm. Finally, her novel was published and it got great reviews. Then came the inevitable request from a local paper for an interview. In order to keep her secret, Marie wore a wig (假发) and sunglasses during the interview. A local library also contacted her to be on a panel (座谈小组) with other authors to discuss her book on Saturday evening. Once again, she wore a wig and sunglasses. 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。 As she sat, Marie spotted an employee in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the following Monday morning, Marie entered the shop. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 高二年级下学期期末考试 英 语 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 考查范围：选择性必修第三册~选择性必修第四册。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 3. 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。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Every summer, the small backyard burst with colors — roses, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs growing in neat rows. To Sophie, it seemed like magic. But she never imagined herself doing the same. Gardening looked like hard, dirty work, and she preferred spending her free time indoors with books and music. That changed when her grandmother injured her knee one spring and asked Sophie to help with the planting. “Just for a few weeks,” she promised. Sophie agreed, though she doubted if she would enjoy it. The first day was awkward. Sophie dug holes too deep, watered plants too much, and mistook young weeds for vegetable seedlings (幼苗) . But her grandmother never lost patience. She guided Sophie gently, her wrinkled hands showing the girl how to press seeds into the soil with the right touch. “Plants don’t need perfection,” she said. “They need attention and time.” Gradually, Sophie found herself drawn into the garden’s slow rhythm. She learned to notice the subtle changes — a new bud (花蕾) opening, the way tomato leaves curled when thirsty. The work was physical and sometimes tiring, but it cleared her mind in a way that books and music never quite had. There was something deeply satisfying about caring for a living thing from seed to harvest. By midsummer, Sophie was harvesting vegetables for family dinners. She felt quite proud as her parents praised the salads made from her lettuce and tomatoes. More importantly, she discovered a side of herself she hadn’t known existed: patient, attentive, and capable of making things grow. The garden taught Sophie that meaningful things take time and effort. That lesson followed her beyond the backyard. She found herself applying the same steady patience to her schoolwork and other challenges. What began as a simple favor had grown into something far more valuable — a new understanding of herself. 24. Why did Sophie start helping in the garden? A. She was eager to be skilled at gardening. B. Her grandmother needed aid due to an injury. C. She had been tired of staying indoors all day. D. Her parents wanted her to experience garden tasks. 25. Which words best describe Sophie’s grandmother as a teacher? A. Patient and encouraging. B. Cheerful and outgoing. C. Talkative and humorous. D. Energetic and adventurous. 26. How did Sophie feel after spending more time in the garden? A. She realized she preferred planting flowers. B. She mainly looked forward to the final harvest. C. She found it boring and wanted to stop quickly. D. She became interested and her mind felt refreshed. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Everyone should learn gardening as a practical skill. B. Helping family members can build stronger family bonds. C. A new attempt can bring personal growth and self-discovery. D. Engaging in outdoor physical activities is more rewarding. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了索菲原本不爱园艺，因祖母受伤而帮忙打理花园。但在劳动中，她逐渐变得耐心与专注，最终收获了自我成长与内心的满足。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“That changed when her grandmother injured her knee one spring and asked Sophie to help with the planting. “Just for a few weeks,” she promised. Sophie agreed, though she doubted if she would enjoy it.(然而，某个春天祖母膝盖受伤，便请索菲帮忙种菜。“只几周而已，”她承诺道。索菲答应了，尽管她并不确定自己是否能享受这份工作。)”可知，因为祖母膝盖受伤，请求索菲帮忙完成播种工作，索菲才答应接手园艺事务。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But her grandmother never lost patience. She guided Sophie gently, her wrinkled hands showing the girl how to press seeds into the soil with the right touch. “Plants don’t need perfection,” she said. “They need attention and time.”(但祖母从不会失去耐心，她温柔地指导着索菲，皱纹纵横的手示范如何用正确的手法将种子按入土壤。“植物不需要完美，”她说，“它们需要的是关注和时间。”)”可知，面对索菲频频出错的状况，祖母始终没有失去耐心，温柔地指导她，还用温和的话语宽慰她，体现出耐心且善于鼓励的特点。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Gradually, Sophie found herself drawn into the garden’s slow rhythm. She learned to notice the subtle changes — a new bud (花蕾) opening, the way tomato leaves curled when thirsty. The work was physical and sometimes tiring, but it cleared her mind in a way that books and music never quite had.(渐渐地，索菲被花园缓慢的节奏所吸引。她学会了留意细微的变化——新花蕾的绽放，番茄叶子在缺水时卷曲的样子。工作是体力劳动，有时令人疲惫，却以一种书籍和音乐从未有过的方式让她头脑清醒。)”可知，随着深入接触，索菲逐渐被花园的节奏吸引，园艺劳作虽然耗费体力，却能让她的头脑变得清明，获得了书本和音乐无法带来的清爽感。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“The garden taught Sophie that meaningful things take time and effort. That lesson followed her beyond the backyard. She found herself applying the same steady patience to her schoolwork and other challenges. What began as a simple favor had grown into something far more valuable — a new understanding of herself.(花园教会了苏菲，有意义的事情需要时间和努力。这一课跟着她走出了后院。她发现自己对学业和其他挑战也有同样稳定的耐心。起初只是一个简单的帮助，现在却变成了更有价值的东西——对自己的新认识。)”可知，全文讲述了索菲从抵触园艺，到因帮忙尝试园艺，最终不仅收获了劳作的快乐，更发现了自己耐心、专注的另一面，并将这份感悟运用到学习与生活中的故事，核心是一次新尝试带来的自我成长与发现。 C Trees that talk back might sound like something fresh out of a dreamlike trip, but a high-tech initiative aimed at bridging the divide between youth culture and nature has turned fantasy into reality. Specifically, London-based agency Droga5 came up with the campaign for the creative activity, Agency for Nature, giving voice to trees in London, Dublin and Austin, Texas. To achieve this “talking” function, bioelectrical signals from each tree were transformed into speech through an AI large language model. It was fed insights about the trees’ lifespans and histories, alongside data from biosensors that record metrics (指标) such as wind speed, temperature and soil moisture (湿度). Additionally, the AI acted as the “brain” of the trees, shaping their unique personalities and enabling real-time conversations with more than 100 people — with sometimes touching results. For example, “Your care warms me,” a 50-year-old oak (橡树) told Austin mayor Steve Adler, who asked how he might improve its life. “More stable temperatures and consistent moisture would help. Thank you for asking,” the tree replied. When discussing the purpose of the campaign, Evan Greally from Droga5 explained, “My hope was to make people care again, to bring out some care for something bigger than ourselves.” Looking to the future, plans are in progress, but under wraps for now, to give voice to more trees. In the meantime, the team said the AI application could one day be used by farmers to chat with their crops, or to predict wildfires by talking to forests. Commenting on the tool’s potential, Greally’s colleague Chip McCoy added, “There’s an element of endless possibility to it. We have this tool, and it’s in the hands of everybody how we use it for the better.” 28. How does the AI system give trees “voices”? A. By planting devices in tree trunks. B. By reproducing tree sounds from forests. C. By translating biological data into speech. D. By recording human conversations nearby. 29. What message does the campaign convey about nature? A. Nature should be understood with feeling. B. Trees will control future city development. C. Technology can completely explain nature. D. City expansion damages tree development. 30. What future application is mentioned for the AI tool? A. Producing tree recorders. B. Predicting natural disasters. C. Designing urban green spaces. D. Creating tree-based social media. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the talking trees project? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Enthusiastic. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】介绍一项高科技项目利用人工智能让树木“开口说话”，讲解其工作原理、活动初衷与该技术广阔的应用前景。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To achieve this “talking” function, bioelectrical signals from each tree were transformed into speech through an AI large language model.(为实现这种“说话”功能，每棵树的生物电信号通过人工智能大语言模型转化为语音)”可知，人工智能系统通过把树木生物相关数据转化为语音，赋予树木声音。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“My hope was to make people care again, to bring out some care for something bigger than ourselves.(我的希望是让人们重新心生关怀，去关爱比自身更宏大的事物)”以及文中树木与人温情对话的例子可推知，该活动传递出人们应当用心去理解、善待自然的理念。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the meantime, the team said the AI application could one day be used by farmers to chat with their crops, or to predict wildfires by talking to forests.(与此同时，团队表示这款人工智能应用未来可供农民和作物交流，还能通过与森林“对话”预测野火)”可知，文中提及该人工智能工具可预测自然灾害。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Trees that talk back might sound like something fresh out of a dreamlike trip, but a high-tech initiative aimed at bridging the divide between youth culture and nature has turned fantasy into reality.(会回应交流的树木听起来像是奇幻梦境里才有的事物，但一项旨在拉近青年文化与自然距离的高科技项目，让这份幻想成为了现实)”以及根据第二段“Additionally, the AI acted as the “brain” of the trees, shaping their unique personalities and enabling real-time conversations with more than 100 people — with sometimes touching results.(此外，这套人工智能系统充当树木的“大脑”，为每棵树塑造独特的性格，还能同时与一百多人实时对话，交流时常带来动人的效果)”可知，本文传递出作者对该项目的认可与积极倾向，所以作者对该项目持积极、热忱的态度。 D More than 50% of a scientist’s productivity results from the institution where they work, according to a new study that tracked the publications of researchers as they moved during their career. The findings support a long-running debate over whether to prevent limited grant (拨款) from being concentrated at a handful of big-name universities. The study illustrates a phenomenon familiar to many academics. Picking someone up and moving them to a more productive place will make them more productive. The new study collected data from about 300,000 U. S. -based scientists who published between 1945 and 2023. When a researcher moved from a less productive institution to one with higher average productivity, they became more productive as well, according to a “wandering scholar” analysis. The team notes that it could be something about resources, facilities and graduate students that led to productivity gains. A previous study supports that: Faculty (教职人员) at top U. S. universities who work in fields where cooperation and co-authorship are normal were more productive because they led larger lab groups, researchers reported in a 2022 paper. “It’s this labor that increases faculty productivity,” says Aaron Clauset, a computer scientist and senior author on the 2022 study. The study also supports a decades-long policy discussion about how to distribute government grant money, showing the benefits of favoring the top institutions. Some argue against further enriching highly productive institutions. “Those institutions are in a position to make more productive faculty because they’ve received abundant research support over decades. Distributing resources to them disproportionately (不成比例地) would reflect the historical inequities that have created differences,” says Kirk Dombrowski from a nonprofit that promotes science in poorly funded states. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has long-running programs that reserve a part of their budget for projects in states having the least funding through traditional funding tracks. It’s vital that government investments are geographically dispersed, as additional funding could help locally produced researchers and result in work that solves regional problems. 32. What does the new study find? A. Researchers often move for higher pay. B. Career success is defined by publications. C. Scientists’ productivity relies on institutions. D. Most grants flow to well-known universities. 33. What can contribute to academic productivity according to the 2022 study? A. High salaries and job security. B. Strict publication requirements. C. Frequent international conferences. D. Large lab groups and cooperation. 34. What’s the significance of the work of NSF? A. It strengthens international cooperation. B. It supports poorly funded states’ research. C. It helps locally distinguished institutions. D. It reduces the workload of local institutes. 35. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in the last paragraph mean? A. Widespread. B. Diverse. C. Restricted. D. Practical. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述了研究人员发现，科学家所工作的机构在某种程度上决定了他们科研成果的数量和质量，并分析了背后的影响因素，包括大学的资源、设施、研究生支持，以及科研人员之间的合作度、研究成果的共同署名等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“More than 50% of a scientist’s productivity results from the institution where they work, according to a new study that tracked the publications of researchers as they moved during their career.(一项追踪科研人员职业生涯中调动期间论文发表情况的新研究表明，科学家超五成的科研产出归功于其任职的机构)”可知，一项研究发现，科学家的生产力一大半取决于他们工作的科研机构。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A previous study supports that: Faculty (教职人员) at top U. S. universities who work in fields where cooperation and co-authorship are normal were more productive because they led larger lab groups, researchers reported in a 2022 paper.(一项先前的研究表明：2022年发表的一篇论文中，研究人员报告称，美国顶尖大学中从事合作与合著较为普遍的教职人员，因其领导更大的实验室团队，工作效率更高)”可知，大规模的实验室小组和合作可以提高学术生产力。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The National Science Foundation (NSF) has long-running programs that reserve a part of their budget for projects in states having the least funding through traditional funding tracks.(美国国家科学基金会（NSF）设有长期项目，其预算中的一部分专门用于资助那些通过传统资金渠道获得资助最少的州的项目)”可知，NSF长期致力于帮助通过传统资金渠道得到资金最少的州，这些额外的资助不仅能支持当地培养研究人员，还能推动解决区域性问题的研究工作。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“as additional funding could help locally produced researchers and result in work that solves regional problems.(因为额外的资金有助于支持本地培养的研究人员，并产生解决地区问题的成果)”可知，这个基金会的拨款资助应从地域的角度实现分散，即应该更加广泛，这样才能帮助地方的研究人员去解决当地的问题。故划线词意思是“普遍的，广泛的”。 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。 Looking for life purpose? The answer isn’t grand deeds but small daily actions building social connections and a sense of being valued. ___36___ . Author Jennifer Wallace explains the human need to feel valued is fundamental, driving our behavior after meeting basic needs of food and shelter. This sense of mattering is closely linked to better mental health. ___37___ Wallace found people feel valued in tiny moments: a saved seat, a colleague’s check-in or a neighbor’s warm soup. Small kindnesses like walking an elderly neighbor’s dog or praising a colleague’s efforts work. These acts are contagious (有感染力的) — making others worthy brings you a sense of value in return, creating a connection cycle. Embrace the “beautiful mess” effect Connections help us get through hardships, as a study found a hill seems less steep (陡峭的) with a friend beside you. ___38___ . Yet many hide their struggles, fearing to push friends away. In fact, sharing weaknesses makes us more genuine and draws people closer, a psychological effect Wallace names the “beautiful mess” effect. Accept invitations openly When facing difficulties, Wallace imagines a hill and asks who will stand with her. She advises turning to people with similar experiences for advice, and embracing invitations — both accepting and extending them. A single woman inviting friends for dinner and a stressed teacher having regular lunch with colleagues both found connection and relief this way. ___39___ . Evaluate how you matter Single acts aren’t enough for a sense of purpose; daily practice is needed. ___40___ . Each night, she writes down when she felt valued and where she added value, ending days with gratitude and self-worth. Finding life purpose is a daily practice of small acts, weakness and connection. A. Listen to others in hard times B. Seek purpose with a small thing C. Friendships ease life’s stress and hardships D. Turn small valued feelings into daily actions E. Wallace has a simple nightly reflection practice F. Everyone can follow this mindset in hard times G. This need to feel valued shapes our well-being and meaning 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了寻找人生目标的方法。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Looking for life purpose? The answer isn’t grand deeds but small daily actions building social connections and a sense of being valued.(寻找人生目标？答案不是伟大的事迹，而是建立社会联系和被重视感的日常小行动)”，后文“Author Jennifer Wallace explains the human need to feel valued is fundamental, driving our behavior after meeting basic needs of food and shelter. This sense of mattering is closely linked to better mental health.(作家詹妮弗·华莱士解释说，人类对被重视的需求是根本性的，在满足了食物和住所的基本需求后，这种需求驱动着我们的行为。这种重要感与更好的心理健康密切相关)”。G选项“This need to feel valued shapes our well-being and meaning(这种被重视的需求塑造了我们的幸福和意义)”中的“This need to feel valued”承接前文提到的被重视感，“shapes our well - being and meaning”与后文被重视感和心理健康相关内容相呼应，起到承上启下的作用。 【37题详解】 此空为段落小标题。后文“Wallace found people feel valued in tiny moments: a saved seat, a colleague’s check-in or a neighbor’s warm soup. Small kindnesses like walking an elderly neighbor’s dog or praising a colleague’s efforts work. These acts are contagious (有感染力的) — making others worthy brings you a sense of value in return, creating a connection cycle.(华莱士发现人们在微小的时刻会感到被重视：预留的座位、同事的问候或邻居送来的热汤。像帮老年邻居遛狗或赞扬同事的努力这样的小善举都有作用。这些行为具有感染力——让他人感到有价值会反过来给你带来价值感，形成一个联系循环)”，强调通过小事情来寻找被重视感，进而寻找人生目标。B选项“Seek purpose with a small thing(用小事情寻找目标)”能够概括该段落内容。 【38题详解】 前文“Connections help us get through hardships, as a study found a hill seems less steep (陡峭的) with a friend beside you.(人际关系帮助我们度过艰难时期，一项研究发现，有朋友在身边，一座山似乎没那么陡峭了)”，后文“Yet many hide their struggles, fearing to push friends away.（然而许多人隐藏自己的挣扎，害怕推开朋友。）”。C选项“Friendships ease life’s stress and hardships(友谊缓解生活的压力和艰难)”中的“Friendships”对应前文“Connections”，“ease life’s stress and hardships”进一步阐述人际关系能帮助度过艰难，与前后文逻辑一致。 【39题详解】 前文“When facing difficulties, Wallace imagines a hill and asks who will stand with her. She advises turning to people with similar experiences for advice, and embracing invitations — both accepting and extending them. A single woman inviting friends for dinner and a stressed teacher having regular lunch with colleagues both found connection and relief this way.(面对困难时，华莱士想象一座山，并问谁会和她站在一起。她建议向有类似经历的人寻求建议，并接受邀请——既接受邀请也发出邀请。一位单身女性邀请朋友共进晚餐，一位压力大的老师定期与同事共进午餐，他们都通过这种方式找到了联系并得到了缓解)”，说明在困难时期通过接受和发出邀请与他人建立联系获得帮助。F选项“Everyone can follow this mindset in hard times(每个人在困难时期都可以遵循这种心态)”中的“this mindset”指代前文面对困难时通过接受和发出邀请与他人建立联系的心态，符合语境。 【40题详解】 前文“Single acts aren’t enough for a sense of purpose; daily practice is needed.(单一的行为不足以带来目标感；需要日常的实践)”，后文“Each night, she writes down when she felt valued and where she added value, ending days with gratitude and self-worth.(每天晚上，她都会写下自己何时感到被重视以及在哪里增加了价值，以感恩和自我价值感结束一天)”。E选项“Wallace has a simple nightly reflection practice(华莱士有一个简单的夜间反思练习)”中的“nightly reflection practice”与后文“Each night, she writes down...”相呼应，说明华莱士通过每晚的反思练习来培养目标感。 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In Houston, two brothers are turning their days off into chances to give back.

But what her employees and everyone else didn’t know was that, in secret, she had been trying to write a mystery novel. She always loved reading and thought about one day possibly writing a novel. Her father, a mechanic, knowing what she wished to do, said, “Writing is a wonderful hobby, but you’re going to need a paying job to live.” So she learned about car repair from her father, as well as a local engineering school. Most of the time, Marie’s writing went well, leaving her in a good mood. But when it didn’t, her mood would sour and she’d say to anyone who noticed, “I didn’t sleep well last night.” Eventually, she came to the end of her manuscript (手稿) and sent it out to a number of agents for consideration. Most replies came back with the same message: thanks but no thanks. It soured her mood. And then just as she was thinking about giving up on her dream, she got a request from an agent to see her completed manuscript. She was so happy, and she practically sang at work. Her employees noticed. She explained, “I bought one of those sleep aids they advertise on TV. I slept like a baby.” Time passed and the agent sent suggestions for corrections. At first, Marie wasn’t sure she wanted to make them, but eventually she did. Even more time passed while she waited for the agent to get back to her. Once he did, his suggestions were less disturbing. Finally happy with the results, the agent contacted several publishers and got a yes from a small New England firm. Finally, her novel was published and it got great reviews. Then came the inevitable request from a local paper for an interview. In order to keep her secret, Marie wore a wig (假发) and sunglasses during the interview. A local library also contacted her to be on a panel (座谈小组) with other authors to discuss her book on Saturday evening. Once again, she wore a wig and sunglasses. 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。 As she sat, Marie spotted an employee in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the following Monday morning, Marie entered the shop. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As she sat, Marie spotted an employee in the audience. Her heart jumped, but she calmly proceeded with the discussion. Throughout the panel discussion, she spoke thoughtfully about her novel, carefully disguising her voice. The employee, however, kept looking at her with a curious expression. When the event ended, Marie tried to leave quickly, but the employee approached her. “Your voice and manner are so familiar,” he said, smiling slightly. Marie simply smiled back, said “What a coincidence”, and hurried away, hoping her secret was still safe. On the following Monday morning, Marie entered the shop. To her surprise, all her employees cheered and applauded, holding copies of her book. The employee who was on the spot had put the clues together and shared Marie’s secret with his colleagues. They had decorated the shop with balloons and a “Congratulations, Author Marie!” sign. Touched, Marie realized she no longer needed her disguise. With tears in her eyes, she understood that pursuing one’s passion, even in secret, is never something to be ashamed of — and that true support often comes from the most unexpected places. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汽车修理店经理玛丽怀揣写作梦想，一边经营修车工作，一边秘密创作悬疑小说，遭遇多次投稿拒绝后仍坚持修改稿件，最终小说成功出版并收获好评，为守护写作秘密，她在媒体采访和图书馆作者座谈会上全程伪装自己的故事 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写玛丽发现员工后的紧张心理，全程刻意伪装嗓音、举止完成座谈会，会后被员工察觉熟悉感，她巧妙掩饰、匆忙离场，暗自希望秘密不被揭穿的过程。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写玛丽回到修车店后，发现秘密已被员工知晓，员工们精心布置场地、为她庆祝，玛丽深受感动，彻底放下伪装，领悟到追逐热爱无需自卑、身边藏有温暖支持的道理。 2. 续写线索 座谈会偶遇员工、内心紧张——刻意伪装完成分享——员工察觉熟悉、主动搭话——玛丽巧妙掩饰匆忙离场——周一到店发现秘密曝光——员工暖心庆祝、真诚祝福——卸下伪装、领悟追梦真谛 3.词类激活 行为类 ①（心脏）狂跳：jump/race/pound ②结束：end/come to an end/conclude 情绪类 ①感动：touch/move ②眼里满是泪水：with tears in her eyes/with tears welling up in her eyes/tears blurring her eyes 【点睛】【高分句型1】Marie simply smiled back, said “What a coincidence”, and hurried away, hoping her secret was still safe.（运用了现在分词hoping作状语以及省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】The employee who was on the spot had put the clues together and shared Marie’s secret with his colleagues. （运用了who引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二年级下学期期末考试第一部分听力做题时，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。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
