兴宁一中高二英语期末测试试题 2026年07月 答卷时间共120分钟(7月7日下午3:00——5:00分) 第一部分 听说20分(已考) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here is a selection of the world’s most unusual buildings that define a place through inventive ways of adapting to local environments. The floating (流动的) homes of Lake Titicaca More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros’ mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Uros began to build the floating islands with the water- resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. The perfect desert town: Ghadames Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky at night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skilful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means. Spain’s fairy-tale houses Known as pallozas, the round houses are built from just a handful of materials: stone, wood and dry grass. Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the cold and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza’s fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient. The Himalayas’ ancient design The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique known as Kath kuni. Wood and stones create a fantastic balance. The wooden frames (框架) lessen the stress on the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place. Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake. 1. Which structure was built for defending residents against attackers? A. The Kath kuni structure. B. The floating structure. C. The Ghadames structure. D. The palloza’s structure. 2. What do the houses in Ghadames and pallozas have in common? A. They are sustainable. B. They maximize internal heat. C. They are built for luxury living. D. They’re made of special materials. 3. What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant? A. The stone frames. B. The narrow openings. C. The flexible wood. D. An interlocking system. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了四个世界上最不寻常的建筑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros’ mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Uros began to build the floating islands with the water- resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. (500多年前，日益壮大的印加帝国开始占领乌鲁斯人的大陆村庄。为了抵御这种威胁，乌鲁斯人开始用一种叫做托托拉的抗水植物建造浮动岛屿，这种植物生长在湖中，是乌鲁斯社区的命脉)”可知，浮动结构是为了保护居民不受攻击而建造的。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky at night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skilful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means.(Ghadames是环境规划的一个令人印象深刻的例子。厚厚的墙壁在白天延迟太阳的热量进入建筑物，并在晚上将热量辐射回天空。到了早晨，墙壁又冷却了。巧妙地使用现有的建筑材料，以最小的手段达到最大的舒适度)”以及第四段“Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the cold and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza’s fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient.(厚厚的石墙（取决于该地区可用的材料）可以阻挡寒冷并保存内部热量。在内部，palloza的壁炉对保持恒温至关重要，使其节能)”可知，Ghadames和pallozas的房子的共同之处是都是可持续的。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The wooden frames (框架) lessen the stress on the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place. Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake.(木制框架减轻了地震时开口的压力。厚厚的石头把整座建筑牢牢地固定住了。最重要的是，木片联锁在一起，这使得结构非常灵活，允许墙壁在地震时移动)”可知，联锁系统让凯斯库尼的建筑抗震。故选D。 B Every morning at 5 a.m. when most people are asleep, a single figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapore until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives! During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less privileged neighborhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take vegetables. Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. Since the organization’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, acquire greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to facilitate unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy. As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them. 4. What best describes Mr. Tay’s job? A. Demanding. B. Professional. C. Modest. D. Stubborn. 5. What inspires Mr Tay to found Willing Hearts? A. Visits to the neighbourhood. B. One service to an old lady. C. Encouragement from his wife. D. Smiles from the less privileged. 6. What does the underlined word “compassionate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Guilty. B. Dynamic. C. Rigid. D. Sympathetic. 7. What is the main purpose in setting up Willing Hearts? A. To pick up different languages. B. To enhance unity within society. C. To motivate youths to assist the needy. D. To strengthen solid relationship with people. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物记叙文。主要讲述Tony Tay先生创立公益组织Willing Hearts，为贫困人群免费送餐并引导青年关爱弱势群体。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Every morning at 5 a.m. when most people are asleep, a single figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapore until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.(每天清晨五点，大多数人还在熟睡时，托尼·泰先生就独自在厨房忙碌，为新加坡困难群众做饭，直到其他志愿者和全职厨师赶来。日复一日，他和团队要完成备菜、烹饪、分装、送餐全流程，送往岛内各处。)”可知，他的工作起早且繁重，十分耗力。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting.(泰夫人上前询问缘由，其中一人答道自己不会做饭，只能吃送来的米饭。泰夫人当即提出为她做饭，正是这一餐，催生了“爱心志愿食堂”。迄今为止，该机构已送出近65万份餐食，数量还在持续增加。)”可知，给一位老奶奶提供一餐饭这件事启发泰先生创立该公益组织。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly(这旨在鼓励年轻人成为更compassionate的人，懂得关爱老人的重要性)”，后文“照顾老人”提示该词词义为富有同情心的。sympathetic意为有同情心的，与画线词同义。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to facilitate unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged.(泰先生希望借助“爱心志愿食堂”，让年轻一代看见这座城市不为人知的另一面，亲身目睹、感受那些闭门之后的真实生活。他希望借此感召年轻人心怀悲悯，懂得关爱老人的意义，并激励他们维系自家家庭和睦。在投身公益的这段历程中，最令他欣慰的收获，便是见证青年志愿者帮扶、接济弱势群体的一幕幕。)”可知，建立该组织的主要目的是激励年轻人去帮助有需要的人。 C It is reported that rail industry employers are planning to phase out paper train tickets and shut almost 1,000 station ticket offices in England. The authorities say nothing has been decided. But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of deals have moved online. Regardless of the outcome of the plan, the direction of travel is clear. In the name of modernization and expense-cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow countless high street bank branches and rural post offices into memory. For those who have grown used to the advantages of organizing travel by smartphone, there will be little to feel sorry. But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will emerge. A recent report estimated that around 6% of households — 1.5m homes — have no Internet access. Millions more of us remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet. Most likely, as digital technology becomes the gatekeeper to everyday life, a significant minority risks being left behind. Shifting online is unavoidable, but its fallout needs to be managed with more care. Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, as anecdotal (传闻的) evidence suggests is increasingly the case. Ros Altmann, the former pensions (养老金) minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required. The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. Clearly, much more needs to be invested in helping marginalized (边缘化的) groups acquire easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points should always be available. This will need more expense. But that is the price of being fair to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide. 8. What forces the rail industry to phase out paper train tickets? A. Costs of internet access. B. Closure of station ticket offices. C. Sharp decline of offline business. D. People’s efforts to digitize the industry. 9. Which of the following might fall victim to the plan? A. Rural post offices. B. Irregular Internet users. C. Unconfident households. D. High Street bank branches. 10. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Taking the digital divide fairly. B. Slowing down the modernization. C. Investing more in public transport. D. Maintaining a diversity of service. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕英国铁路计划取消纸质车票、关闭大量车站售票窗口这一举措展开讨论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of deals have moved online.(但英国交通大臣格兰特・沙普斯指出，部分车站每周仅售出寥寥几张纸质车票，绝大多数票务交易都已转移至线上完成。)”可知，线下售票量急剧下降，大部分交易转为线上，这是推动取消纸质票的原因。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But for people without online access or skills... Millions more of us remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet.(但对于没有网络使用渠道、或是没有掌握线上操作技能的人群而言……还有数百万人使用互联网时并不频繁，也缺乏操作自信。)”可知，不规则和不自信的互联网用户将面临社会障碍，成为受害者。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points should always be available.(针对重要公共服务，必须保留线下替代办理渠道。可接通的咨询电话、配备工作人员的线下服务点应当持续对外开放。)”可知，作者建议保留替代性的线下服务选项，即保持服务的多样性。 第二节 (每题2分，共10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。 For people who are planning a trip, a visit to a museum might not be the first thing they think of.

After all, there are plenty of ways to appreciate the world’s civilization, gain exciting experiences and spend quality time with family and friends. (对于计划旅行的人来说，参观博物馆可能不是他们想到的第一件事。毕竟，有很多方式可以欣赏世界文明，获得令人兴奋的体验，与家人和朋友共度美好时光)”可知，此处提到人们在旅行途中有很多选择，博物馆不是人们的首选地址，G项“The fact, however, is that museums offer magical benefits in many ways (然而，事实是博物馆在许多方面提供了神奇的好处。)”中的however表明，其实去博物馆有好多益处，此处点明本文的主题。上下文衔接连贯顺畅。故选G项。 【12题详解】 根据上文“Museums are where people learn something new, at every age!

(相反，它们创造了资金和就业。)”与上文为转折关系，下文“Statistics show that museums support more than 726, 000 jobs in America (统计数据显示，博物馆在美国提供了72.6万个工作岗位)”可知，此处具体解释博物馆创造工作机会的功能，呼应C项的fuel employment，上下文衔接连贯顺畅。故选C项。 【15题详解】 根据上文“Museums shape communities. They have activities and exhibitions through which visitors can learn about local history. Museums are places where a shared heritage is celebrated and a collective identity is formed. They provide an interesting public space where people meet and talk to each other. (博物馆塑造社区。他们有活动和展览，游客可以通过这些活动了解当地的历史。博物馆是庆祝共同遗产和形成集体身份的地方。它们提供了一个有趣的公共空间，人们可以在这里见面交谈。)”可知，本段涉及博物馆塑造社区的功能，博物馆作为一个公共空间，人们可以相互交流；E项“Even shopping at the gift shop there is an opportunity for connection. (即使是在礼品店购物，也有机会建立联系。)”可知，在博物馆的周边产业，如礼品店，在这里人们也有机会进行交流联系，上下文顺畅。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Life feels like a mountain hike with given stops where I can figure out my direction.

Time and again, she asked her parents, promising to walk, feed, and look after it. Each time, though, they gave the same gentle response: “We’ll see.” One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something. Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever. She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of—a friend she had been waiting for. At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog. Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog—whom she named Buddy—grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine life without him. Buddy seemed happy too, wagging his tail whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner. Just a few days later, the phone rang. Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner. He described Buddy perfectly—the friendly eyes and playful personality. Fauna knew Buddy would soon be leaving her. Her father arranged for the owner to come by and pick Buddy up. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. Fauna watched as Buddy wagged his tail furiously, licking the man’s face with excitement. It was clear that Buddy remembered his owner and was overjoyed to see him again. The man thanked Fauna and her family for taking such good care of Buddy. Fauna knelt down to give Buddy one last hug, whispering, “I’ll miss you, Buddy.” As the man led Buddy away, Fauna stood at the door, waving until they were out of sight. That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. Her parents noticed her sadness and sat down with her. Her father said, “How about visiting the animal shelter this weekend? If you’re ready, maybe we can find a pet that needs a home—one that we can keep forever.” Fauna’s eyes lit up, and a small smile returned to her face. She realized that while saying goodbye to Buddy was hard, it had also opened the door to a new possibility—a chance to give another animal a loving home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物和动物为线索展开。Fauna一直梦想养一只宠物，最终在公园里遇到了一只迷路的小狗，并带回了家。尽管她与小狗Buddy建立了深厚的感情，但最终Buddy的主人找到了它，Fauna不得不与Buddy分别。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“当那个人到达时，小狗径直跑到他怀里，高兴地叫着。”可知，第一段可描写Buddy与主人重逢的温馨场景，以及Fauna内心的复杂情感。 ② 由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，Fauna静静地坐在她的房间里，感受着Buddy离开后留下的空虚。”可知，第二段可描写Fauna在Buddy离开后的孤独感，以及他们的计划。 2. 续写线索： 重逢场景——Buddy的喜悦——Fauna的失落——Buddy离开后的空虚——计划——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①照顾：take care of/look after ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③注意到：notice/observe 情绪类 ①兴奋地：with excitement/excitedly ②非常高兴：overjoyed/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was clear that Buddy remembered his owner and was overjoyed to see him again.（运用了it作形式主语，that引导主语从句） [高分句型2] As the man led Buddy away, Fauna stood at the door, waving until they were out of sight.（运用了连词as和until引导的时间状语从句、现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] If you’re ready, maybe we can find a pet that needs a home—one that we can keep forever.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句和that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 兴宁一中高二英语期末测试试题 2026年07月 答卷时间共120分钟(7月7日下午3:00——5:00分) 第一部分 听说20分(已考) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here is a selection of the world’s most unusual buildings that define a place through inventive ways of adapting to local environments. The floating (流动的) homes of Lake Titicaca More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros’ mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Uros began to build the floating islands with the water- resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. The perfect desert town: Ghadames Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky at night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skilful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means. Spain’s fairy-tale houses Known as pallozas, the round houses are built from just a handful of materials: stone, wood and dry grass. Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the cold and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza’s fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient. The Himalayas’ ancient design The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique known as Kath kuni. Wood and stones create a fantastic balance. The wooden frames (框架) lessen the stress on the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place. Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake. 1. Which structure was built for defending residents against attackers? A. The Kath kuni structure. B. The floating structure. C. The Ghadames structure. D. The palloza’s structure. 2. What do the houses in Ghadames and pallozas have in common? A. They are sustainable. B. They maximize internal heat. C. They are built for luxury living. D. They’re made of special materials. 3. What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant? A. The stone frames. B. The narrow openings. C. The flexible wood. D. An interlocking system. B Every morning at 5 a.m. when most people are asleep, a single figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals for the needy folks of Singapore until the rest of the volunteers and the four full-time cooks arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives! During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less privileged neighborhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take vegetables. Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting. Since the organization’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, acquire greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to facilitate unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy. As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them. 4. What best describes Mr. Tay’s job? A. Demanding. B. Professional. C. Modest. D. Stubborn. 5. What inspires Mr Tay to found Willing Hearts? A. Visits to the neighbourhood. B. One service to an old lady. C. Encouragement from his wife. D. Smiles from the less privileged. 6. What does the underlined word “compassionate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Guilty. B. Dynamic. C. Rigid. D. Sympathetic. 7. What is the main purpose in setting up Willing Hearts? A. To pick up different languages. B. To enhance unity within society. C. To motivate youths to assist the needy. D. To strengthen solid relationship with people. C It is reported that rail industry employers are planning to phase out paper train tickets and shut almost 1,000 station ticket offices in England. The authorities say nothing has been decided. But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of deals have moved online. Regardless of the outcome of the plan, the direction of travel is clear. In the name of modernization and expense-cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow countless high street bank branches and rural post offices into memory. For those who have grown used to the advantages of organizing travel by smartphone, there will be little to feel sorry. But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will emerge. A recent report estimated that around 6% of households — 1.5m homes — have no Internet access. Millions more of us remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet. Most likely, as digital technology becomes the gatekeeper to everyday life, a significant minority risks being left behind. Shifting online is unavoidable, but its fallout needs to be managed with more care. Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, as anecdotal (传闻的) evidence suggests is increasingly the case. Ros Altmann, the former pensions (养老金) minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required. The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. Clearly, much more needs to be invested in helping marginalized (边缘化的) groups acquire easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points should always be available. This will need more expense. But that is the price of being fair to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide. 8. What forces the rail industry to phase out paper train tickets? A. Costs of internet access. B. Closure of station ticket offices. C. Sharp decline of offline business. D. People’s efforts to digitize the industry. 9. Which of the following might fall victim to the plan? A. Rural post offices. B. Irregular Internet users. C. Unconfident households. D. High Street bank branches. 10. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Taking the digital divide fairly. B. Slowing down the modernization. C. Investing more in public transport. D. Maintaining a diversity of service. 第二节 (每题2分，共10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。 For people who are planning a trip, a visit to a museum might not be the first thing they think of.

Time and again, she asked her parents, promising to walk, feed, and look after it. Each time, though, they gave the same gentle response: “We’ll see.” One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something. Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever. She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of—a friend she had been waiting for. At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog. Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog—whom she named Buddy—grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine life without him. Buddy seemed happy too, wagging his tail whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner. Just a few days later, the phone rang. Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner. He described Buddy perfectly—the friendly eyes and playful personality. Fauna knew Buddy would soon be leaving her. Her father arranged for the owner to come by and pick Buddy up. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
