Every year, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) collects data on how many boys and girls join school sports teams across the country. The table below shows official participant numbers of popular sports in the 2023-2024 school year. Sport Male Participants Female Participants Baseball 471,701 1,372 Basketball 536,668 367,284 Flag Football 999 42,955 Football (11-player) 1,031,508 4,094 Soccer 467,483 383,895 Tennis 157,835 195,766 Wrestling 291,874 64,257 From the table, clear gender differences can be seen. Traditional contact sports like 11-player football and baseball remain almost totally male-dominated. On the other hand, tennis has more female players than male ones. Basketball is popular with both genders, ranking as the second-largest sport for boys and girls. A surprising growth is flag football. Over half of the girls playing flag football had never joined any organized sport before, according to NFHS reports. To support this fast-growing sport, all 32 NFL teams have set up grant (补助金) programs to provide free sports equipment for high schools nationwide. PE educators suggest schools offer more mixed-gender sports to break old stereotypes (刻板印象) and help every student find a suitable team activity. 1. Which sport has the smallest gap between male and female participants? A. Wrestling. B. Soccer. C. Tennis. D. Basketball. 2. What advice do PE teachers give schools? A. Cut down traditional contact sports. B. Spend more money on baseball equipment. C. Stop organizing single-gender basketball games. D. Develop more sports open to both boys and girls. 3. What is the aim of NFHS collecting sports participation data each year? A. To help NFL design equipment grants. B. To encourage students to join mixed-gender teams. C. To judge whether stereotypes exist in PE education. D. To record and show gender differences in school sports. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要通过数据图表介绍美国高中体育运动的性别参与差异及相关教育建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。​ 根据表格数据计算男女参与人数差值：Wrestling差值为227,617；Soccer差值为83,588；Tennis差值为37,931；Basketball差值为169,384。对比可知，Tennis的男女参与人数差距最小。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。​ 根据最后一段中“PE educators suggest schools offer more mixed-gender sports to break old stereotypes (刻板印象)and help every student find a suitable team activity.(体育教育工作者建议学校提供更多混合性别运动，以打破旧有的刻板印象，帮助每个学生找到合适的团队活动)”可知，体育老师的建议是开发更多对男生和女生都开放的运动项目。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。​ 根据第一段中“Every year, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) collects data on how many boys and girls join school sports teams across the country.(全美州立高中协会联合会每年都会收集全国范围内加入校队的男生和女生人数数据)”以及第二段首句“From the table, clear gender differences can be seen.(从表中可以看出明显的性别差异)”可知，NFHS收集数据的目的是为了记录和展示校内体育运动中的性别差异。 B Eight years ago, Syrian poet Adonis, author of My Loneliness Is a Garden, wandered through Guangzhou and caught the scent (芳香) of osmanthus blossoms. He described the fragrance as “wonderful and precious.” Moved by the encounter, he later published Osmanthus, a long poem composed of 50 independent pieces inspired by China. “I began to discover within myself a continent I had never known,” he wrote. The experience marked the beginning of a deep connection between the poet and Chinese culture. On the evening of May 9, 2026, the 96-year-old poet appeared by video at the opening ceremony of the International Youth Poetry Festival (China-Arab States Session) in Guangzhou. The 10-day event brought together more than 40 young poets from over 10 Arab countries alongside Chinese writers to share poetry and exchange ideas. The festival aimed to strengthen cultural dialogue between the two civilizations. At the ceremony, Egyptian poet Yahya Wagdi reflected on poetry’s elusive nature. “It is difficult to define poetry itself,” he said, “yet when a line written in one language moves a reader on the opposite side of the world, that shared emotion is poetry.” In a keynote address, Zhang Hongsen, chairman of the China Writers Association, noted that Chinese and Arab poetry traditions, though separated by geography and language, share concise expression, philosophical depth, and emotional sincerity — qualities that have long served as the spiritual roots of their civilizations. For many participants, the gathering marked their first encounter with China. Sudanese poet Manahil Fathi spoke of her surprise and excitement at hearing her work read aloud before a Chinese audience. The experience, she said, revealed the possibility of mutual understanding through poetry. Egyptian poet Maha Ghanem added, “Poetry allows people to reach deeper layers of the soul and offers a language through which the world might return to peace.” 4. What led Adonis to write the long poem Osmanthus? A. A video call from the poetry festival. B. The sight of a garden planted in his name. C. His loneliness during his stay in Guangzhou. D. The fragrance of osmanthus he experienced in China. 5. What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hard to grasp. B. Pleasant to hear. C. Impossible to feel. D. Easy to understand. 6. What are the poets’ opinions about poetry? A. It mainly focuses on one’s own inner feelings. B. It helps promote mutual understanding and peace. C. It is better appreciated by people from the same culture. D. It mostly relies on translation for cross-cultural communication. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Poetry: A Bridge Across Cultures. B. A Syrian Poet’s Love for Osmanthus. C. The Growing Popularity of Arab Poets. D. Poetry: A Key to Unlocking Global Peace. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要报道了中阿青年诗歌节盛况，展现诗歌促进文明交流互鉴的力量。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第一段中“Eight years ago, Syrian poet Adonis, author of My Loneliness Is a Garden, wandered through Guangzhou and caught the scent (芳香) of osmanthus blossoms. He described the fragrance as “wonderful and precious.” Moved by the encounter, he later published Osmanthus, a long poem composed of 50 independent pieces inspired by China.(八年前，叙利亚诗人阿多尼斯——著有《我的孤独是一座花园》——漫步广州，邂逅了桂花的芬芳。他将这香气形容为“美妙而珍贵”。受这次偶遇触动，他后来发表了长诗《桂花》，全诗由五十首受中国启发而作的独立诗篇组成)”可知，正是他在中国闻到的桂花香气促使他创作了这首长诗。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。​根据第三段中““It is difficult to define poetry itself,” he said, “yet when a line written in one language moves a reader on the opposite side of the world, that shared emotion is poetry.”(“诗歌本身很难定义，”他说，“然而，当一行用某种语言写就的文字打动了世界另一端的读者，那份共鸣便是诗歌。”)”可知，诗歌的本质是难以捉摸、难以把握的。elusive意为“难寻的，难以描述的”，与Hard to grasp意思相近。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。​根据倒数第一段中苏丹诗人Manahil Fathi所说的“The experience, she said, revealed the possibility of mutual understanding through poetry.(她说，这段经历揭示了通过诗歌实现相互理解的可能性)”以及埃及诗人Maha Ghanem所说的“Poetry allows people to reach deeper layers of the soul and offers a language through which the world might return to peace.(诗歌让人们触及灵魂深处，并提供了一种让世界重归和平的语言)”可知，诗人们认为诗歌有助于促进相互理解与世界和平。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。​文章开篇以阿多尼斯因桂花与中国结缘引入，随后重点报道了在广州举办的中阿青年诗歌节，通过多位诗人的发言，强调了诗歌作为一种通用语言，在跨越地理与文化隔阂、连接不同文明心灵方面的重要作用。“Poetry: A Bridge Across Cultures(诗歌：跨越文化的桥梁)”最能概括全文主旨。 C Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released on December 10th by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every ten years the organization asks adults in dozens of places to sit tests in numeracy (算术) and literacy. The questions it poses are not abstract brainteasers, spelling tests or mental arithmetic. They aim to represent problems people aged 16-65 face in daily life, whether they are working in a factory or an office, or simply trying to make sense of the news. The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries, and their findings are disturbing. They suggest that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than might be expected of a primary-school child. The direction of travel is even less encouraging. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy (识字), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Demographic (人口的) change offers some explanation. New immigrants often struggle with a new language. The native-born have ageing brains. But even after adjusting for this, trends remain discouraging, especially in literacy. Some assume that Netflix, video games and social media are weakening people’s sharp thinking. It is just as likely that education and training systems have misfired. What to do? Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grown-ups; governments ought to start there. England’s adults have climbed up the OECD’s league table, mostly because the youngest ones (aged 16-24) are scoring better than before. That may reflect reforms which have made exams for older teenagers more difficult, and begun requiring youngsters who fail them to try again. In America, which has done fairly badly, states are canceling tests that were in the past used to determine who graduated from high school. Grades there are unchecked. 8. What do the OECD test questions aim to do? A. Test common people’s problems. B. Act as spelling and mental tests. C. Reflect real-life practical problems. D. Help people make sense of the news. 9. What are the latest test results mainly about? A. Basic adult abilities are going downward. B. Math scores rise in a few developed countries. C. Educational qualifications are higher than before. D. Most adults have primary school learning ability. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Young Europeans beat adults in test scores. B. Higher education can raise adults’ test scores. C. Tougher teen exams contribute to better adult scores. D. America has carried out successful education reforms. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Harm of social media to people’s thinking ability. B. Falling adult practical skills and related analysis. C. Influence of population changes on literacy scores. D. Educational reforms carried out in England and US. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍经合组织测试发现多国成年人读写算能力下滑，并分析原因、列举相关教育改进举措。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The questions it poses are not abstract brainteasers, spelling tests or mental arithmetic. They aim to represent problems people aged 16-65 face in daily life, whether they are working in a factory or an office, or simply trying to make sense of the news.(它提出的问题并非抽象的脑筋急转弯、拼写测试或心算题目。这些题目旨在呈现16至65岁人群在日常生活中面临的各类问题，无论他们在工厂、办公室工作，或是仅仅尝试理解新闻资讯)”可知，经合组织的测试题目旨在反映现实生活中的实际问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries, and their findings are disturbing... In literacy, a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance(最新的测试在31个发达国家开展，其结果令人不安……在读写能力方面，分数下降的国家远多于分数提升的国家)”可知，最新测试结果表明成年人的基础能力整体呈下降趋势。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“England’s adults have climbed up the OECD’s league table, mostly because the youngest ones (aged 16-24) are scoring better than before. That may reflect reforms which have made exams for older teenagers more difficult, and begun requiring youngsters who fail them to try again.(英国成年人在经合组织排名中有所上升，主要因为16至24岁的年轻群体得分高于以往。这或许得益于相关改革，该改革提高了青少年考试难度，还要求考试失利的年轻人补考)”可推知，更严格的青少年考试助力成年人测试分数提升。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇引出经合组织的成年人能力测试，指出多国成年人读写、算术实用能力下降的现象，随后分析人口变化、娱乐方式、教育体系等成因，最后介绍英美两国的教育改进措施。全文围绕成年人实用技能下降的现象及相关分析展开。 D First eggs, then feta cheese, caviar, cottage cheese, and cucumbers — viral cooking videos have caused real ingredient shortages in some countries. Iceland ran out of cucumbers; feta disappeared from shelves briefly. Why? Online cooking fans rushed to recreate trending recipes, clearing store aisles within hours. Food is now the fourth-most popular subject on the internet, behind only films, music, and phones — up from 17th place in 2009. No other category except sports has risen faster in the last 15 years. The abundance of online-food content not only causes occasional ingredient shortages when a video goes viral. It is also making cooking more social. TikTok cooking videos attract tens of millions of views, and Mukbang (eating broadcasts) have spread from South Korea to the world, where hosts eat large amounts while chatting with live audiences. The internet has turned people without notable restaurants or cookbooks into celebrity chefs. Nick DiGiovanni, a 28-year-old Harvard-educated food personality, has about 21 million YouTube subscribers — roughly equal to Gordon Ramsay’s following. His success shows how digital platforms can launch cooking careers overnight. This rise isn’t surprising. Everyone eats; cooking is a common hobby. Video is an efficient teaching medium for instruction — more precise, in many ways, than the written word. Americans who recently cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving can testify that “golden brown” to one cook may look underdone to another and even burnt to a third. Traditional cooks may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos, but chefs have long embraced new tech. In the 1800s, Carême wrote illustrated cookbooks that standardized French cuisine. In the 1960s-70s, Julia Child used television to illustrate French food. “Today’s online personalities recognize and meet the specific needs of their viewers — whether for entertainment, learning, or adventure,” explains YouTube’s Madeline Buxton. Online chefs and food boosters sell a lifestyle: you are what you eat, how you eat, and what you watch about eating. 12. Why does the author mention the shortages of feta cheese and cucumbers? A. To criticize consumers for panic buying. B. To show which ingredients are most popular online. C. To compare food shortages across different countries. D. To prove that viral videos can affect real-world supply. 13. What can we learn about Nick DiGiovanni? A. Online platforms fuel his rapid success. B. He teaches cooking mainly on TikTok. C. He runs well-known physical restaurants. D. Cookbooks made him gain wide popularity. 14. What can be inferred from the example of Thanksgiving turkeys in Paragraph 4? A. Video teaching is more entertaining than written cookbooks. B. People hold totally different attitudes towards traditional cooking. C. Most American cooks fail to roast turkeys to perfect golden brown. D. Written recipes cannot describe cooking standards accurately enough. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards online cooking videos? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了网络烹饪视频的流行现状、社会影响及其发展历程。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。​根据第一段中“Why? Online cooking fans rushed to recreate trending recipes, clearing store aisles within hours.(为什么？在线烹饪爱好者蜂拥而至复刻热门食谱，几小时内便扫空了超市货架)”可知，作者提及菲达奶酪和黄瓜短缺是为了证明病毒式传播的视频确实会影响现实世界的物资供应。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第三段“The internet has turned people without notable restaurants or cookbooks into celebrity chefs. Nick DiGiovanni, a 28-year-old Harvard-educated food personality, has about 21 million YouTube subscribers — roughly equal to Gordon Ramsay’s following. His success shows how digital platforms can launch cooking careers overnight.(互联网已将那些既没有知名餐厅，也未出版过烹饪书的人打造成名厨。28岁的尼克·迪乔瓦尼毕业于哈佛大学，是一位美食达人，他在YouTube上拥有约2100万订阅者——大致相当于戈登·拉姆齐的粉丝量。他的成功印证了数字平台如何能让烹饪事业一夜腾飞)”可知，Nick DiGiovanni的成功得益于网络平台的助推。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。​ 根据第四段中“Video is an efficient teaching medium for instruction — more precise, in many ways, than the written word. Americans who recently cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving can testify that “golden brown” to one cook may look underdone to another and even burnt to a third.(视频是一种高效的教学媒介——在许多方面，它比书面文字更为精准。近期为感恩节烹制火鸡的美国人大概深有体会：“金黄色”在一个厨师眼中或许尚显生嫩，在另一个人看来却已焦黑)”可知，关于感恩节火鸡的例子表明，书面食谱无法足够准确地描述烹饪标准。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。​ 通读全文，作者既指出了网络烹饪视频导致食材短缺的问题（第一段），也肯定了其在社交化、教学直观性及职业发展上的积极作用（第二、三、五段），并引用专家观点进行客观阐述，未表现出明显的批判或一味支持的态度。因此，作者的态度是客观的。 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。 It’s not just a trend — millions of people worldwide are now using AI chatbots and apps for mental health support. A 2026 survey found that over 40 million people globally use AI therapy tools every month. Young adults, especially those aged 18 to 29, are the fastest-growing group, with nearly 30% having tried AI for emotional help in the past year. So why are so many choosing AI over traditional therapy? ____16____ Unlike human friends or therapists, AI never criticizes, gets tired, or shares your secrets. It’s also cheap and always available: no appointments, no waitlists, and it’s there 24/7 when anxiety or loneliness hits. Research shows AI therapy actually works for mild-to-moderate stress, anxiety, and depression. A 2025 study in NEJM AI found that AI chatbots reduced depression symptoms by 51% and anxiety by 31% — similar to results from regular therapy. ____17____ But AI therapy is not perfect. ____18____ — it can’t truly understand deep pain, trauma, or complex emotions like a human therapist can. AI also can’t handle severe mental health crises, such as suicidal thoughts, as safely as a trained professional. Privacy is another big concern. When you share your deepest feelings with AI, your data could be stored, analyzed, or even leaked. ____19____ Using too much AI might stop them from seeking real human help when they need it. At the end of the day, AI therapy is a helpful tool, not a replacement. It’s great for daily stress, quick emotional checks, and people who can’t access traditional therapy. But for deep healing, real connection, and crisis support, nothing beats a caring human therapist. ____20____ A. It lacks real human empathy. B. The top reason is no judgment. C. That’s because it is a good listener. D. We should adopt a critical attitude towards AI. E. Some users worry about becoming too dependent on AI. F. AI can walk with you — but it can’t replace a real heart-to-heart. G. Many users report feeling “heard” and less alone after talking to AI. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了全球越来越多的人使用AI聊天机器人和应用程序进行心理健康支持的现象，分析了AI心理治疗的优势（无评判、随时可用、成本低、对轻中度心理问题有效）和局限性（缺乏真正的人类共情、无法处理严重危机、隐私问题、可能导致依赖），最后指出AI心理治疗是有用的工具但不能替代人类治疗师。 【16题详解】 根据上文“So why are so many choosing AI over traditional therapy?(那么为什么这么多人选择AI而非传统治疗呢？)”可知，此处是在询问原因；下文“Unlike human friends or therapists, AI never criticizes, gets tired, or shares your secrets. (与人类朋友或治疗师不同，AI从不批评、从不疲倦、也不会泄露你的秘密)”说明了AI不会评判用户。B项“The top reason is no judgment.(首要原因是没有评判)”承上启下，既回答了上文的问题，又引出了下文关于“不批评”的具体说明。 【17题详解】 根据上文“A 2025 study in NEJM AI found that AI chatbots reduced depression symptoms by 51% and anxiety by 31% — similar to results from regular therapy.(NEJM AI 2025年的一项研究发现，AI聊天机器人使抑郁症状减少了51%，焦虑减少了31%——与常规治疗的结果相似)”可知，此处是在说明AI治疗的有效性；G项“Many users report feeling “heard” and less alone after talking to AI.(许多用户报告说，与AI交谈后感到“被倾听”，不再那么孤独)”进一步补充了AI治疗的积极效果，与前文的研究数据形成呼应。 【18题详解】 根据上文“But AI therapy is not perfect.(但AI治疗并不完美)”及下文“it can’t truly understand deep pain, trauma, or complex emotions like a human therapist can. (它无法像人类治疗师那样真正理解深层的痛苦、创伤或复杂情绪)”可知，此处是在指出AI的缺陷；A项“It lacks real human empathy.(它缺乏真正的人类共情)”概括了本段主旨，破折号后的内容正是对“缺乏共情”的具体解释。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Privacy is another big concern.(隐私是另一个大问题)”及下文“Using too much AI might stop them from seeking real human help when they need it.(过度使用AI可能会阻止他们在需要时寻求真正的人类帮助)”可知，此处是在讨论过度依赖AI的问题；E项“Some users worry about becoming too dependent on AI.(一些用户担心变得过于依赖AI)”承上启下，既承接了前文关于隐私的担忧，又引出了下文关于过度使用AI的后果。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“At the end of the day, AI therapy is a helpful tool, not a replacement.(归根结底，AI治疗是一个有用的工具，而非替代品)”及“But for deep healing, real connection, and crisis support, nothing beats a caring human therapist.(但对于深层疗愈、真正的联结和危机支持，没有什么能比得上一位有爱心的人类治疗师)”可知，此处是在总结全文，强调AI不能替代人类治疗师；F项“AI can walk with you — but it can’t replace a real heart-to-heart.(AI可以陪伴你——但它无法替代一次真正的心灵交流)”呼应了前文“not a replacement”的观点，以生动的比喻收束全文。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In my eighties, I suffered from two serious illnesses. They were ____21____ me, but I knew I had to keep my body and mind active. As time passed, my condition worsened. If I did nothing but ____22____, I would become weaker. So I went outside and tried to throw a ball over my fence. I ____23____ at first. But I kept trying, and day by day, the ball flew a little farther. I had long believed that my age and health would ____24____ me. I never thought I could throw the ball over the fence. After months of practice, I made it, feeling more ____25____ than ever. I remembered the story The Little Engine That Could. Its ____26____ is simple: “I THINK I CAN!” I believed the power of ____27____ thinking could give me extra strength.

Now I am ninety, and I call my daily ____29____ “90 at 90” — hitting 90 mph balls at age ninety. A newspaper reporter even came to interview me and take photos. Positive thinking can’t ____30____ my illnesses, but it keeps my eyes on the ball and my hands steady. I see my diseases as daily opponents. They may ____31____ me one day, but I will keep swinging. My positive attitude will never ____32____. This is mind over matter. My oldest son, a geriatric physician, said they still couldn’t fully ____33____ how positivity helps health, but it really does.

The classroom, usually quiet except for the sound of writing, quickly became lively. “With recitations, songs, and dialogues,” Miss Stacy added with a smile, “everyone will have a part.” Anne loved stories and grand speeches, though performing in front of half the town was quite another matter. She was chosen to give an important speech. At first, she imagined herself standing gracefully on stage, speaking every word perfectly while the audience listened in admiration. But rehearsals had a way of turning beautiful dreams into nervous realities. One afternoon, Anne accidentally skipped three lines and stood frozen in silence as the room burst into laughter. “I fear I shall become the greatest disappointment in the town,” she sighed dramatically afterward. Diana laughed, “You worry too much. You always remember things at the last minute.” Maybe Diana was right. But as the concert came closer, excitement slowly gave way to nervousness. Anne began noticing how serious everyone had become. Even the boys who usually joked during practice were quietly practicing their lines. By the evening of the concert, the school hall was bright with warm lights. Families and neighbors arrived, and the hall quickly filled with cheerful voices. Standing behind the curtain, Anne held her script tightly. Through a small gap, she could see the hall crowded with people. Suddenly, her heart beat a little faster. Just then, someone rushed backstage and whispered anxiously, “Anne, we have a problem. The next performer is ill and can’t go on. You have to go on stage right now!” Anne’s eyes widened. Her hands trembled. For a moment, the old fear of forgetting her lines returned. But there was no time to hesitate. The audience was waiting, and the spotlight would soon find her. 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。 Anne took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage calmly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the concert, Miss Stacy gathered the students, her eyes full of praise and pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Anne took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage calmly. The bright spotlight temporarily blinded her, but as she looked out at the expectant faces, Diana’s encouraging words echoed in her mind. She gripped her script tightly, steadied her trembling hands, and began to speak. Her voice, initially a soft whisper, gradually grew stronger and more confident. To her immense relief, the words flowed naturally without a single mistake. She was no longer a nervous girl, but a passionate storyteller completely absorbed in her speech. When she finished, the hall erupted into thunderous applause. After the concert, Miss Stacy gathered the students, her eyes full of praise and pride. She walked straight to Anne and gave her a warm hug. “You were absolutely magnificent tonight!” she praised softly. Diana and the other classmates rushed over, cheering loudly for her bravery. A wave of relief and joy washed over Anne. She realized that her grand dreams hadn’t turned into a disappointment. Instead, she had conquered her fear and created a truly unforgettable memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述安妮被选中在校园音乐会发表演讲，此前彩排失误遭到嘲笑，让她愈发紧张，音乐会当晚，原定表演者突发状况，安妮被迫紧急登台，最终克服恐惧、完美完成演讲，收获掌声与认可，成功战胜自我的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写安妮深吸一口气后冷静登台，克服紧张情绪，自信流畅完成演讲，赢得全场热烈掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写音乐会结束后老师和同学纷纷夸赞安妮，安妮内心释然喜悦，领悟到自己战胜恐惧、突破自我。 2. 续写线索：冷静登台——克服紧张——流畅演讲——收获掌声——师生夸赞——内心喜悦——战胜自我——获得成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：grip/held firmly/grasp ②平稳：steady/stabilize 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/tense ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型 1] When she finished, the hall erupted into thunderous applause.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型 2] Diana and the other classmates rushed over, cheering loudly for her bravery.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一期末英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案填在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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.

Every year, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) collects data on how many boys and girls join school sports teams across the country. The table below shows official participant numbers of popular sports in the 2023-2024 school year. Sport Male Participants Female Participants Baseball 471,701 1,372 Basketball 536,668 367,284 Flag Football 999 42,955 Football (11-player) 1,031,508 4,094 Soccer 467,483 383,895 Tennis 157,835 195,766 Wrestling 291,874 64,257 From the table, clear gender differences can be seen. Traditional contact sports like 11-player football and baseball remain almost totally male-dominated. On the other hand, tennis has more female players than male ones. Basketball is popular with both genders, ranking as the second-largest sport for boys and girls. A surprising growth is flag football. Over half of the girls playing flag football had never joined any organized sport before, according to NFHS reports. To support this fast-growing sport, all 32 NFL teams have set up grant (补助金) programs to provide free sports equipment for high schools nationwide. PE educators suggest schools offer more mixed-gender sports to break old stereotypes (刻板印象) and help every student find a suitable team activity. 1. Which sport has the smallest gap between male and female participants? A. Wrestling. B. Soccer. C. Tennis. D. Basketball. 2. What advice do PE teachers give schools? A. Cut down traditional contact sports. B. Spend more money on baseball equipment. C. Stop organizing single-gender basketball games. D. Develop more sports open to both boys and girls. 3. What is the aim of NFHS collecting sports participation data each year? A. To help NFL design equipment grants. B. To encourage students to join mixed-gender teams. C. To judge whether stereotypes exist in PE education. D. To record and show gender differences in school sports. B Eight years ago, Syrian poet Adonis, author of My Loneliness Is a Garden, wandered through Guangzhou and caught the scent (芳香) of osmanthus blossoms. He described the fragrance as “wonderful and precious.” Moved by the encounter, he later published Osmanthus, a long poem composed of 50 independent pieces inspired by China. “I began to discover within myself a continent I had never known,” he wrote. The experience marked the beginning of a deep connection between the poet and Chinese culture. On the evening of May 9, 2026, the 96-year-old poet appeared by video at the opening ceremony of the International Youth Poetry Festival (China-Arab States Session) in Guangzhou. The 10-day event brought together more than 40 young poets from over 10 Arab countries alongside Chinese writers to share poetry and exchange ideas. The festival aimed to strengthen cultural dialogue between the two civilizations. At the ceremony, Egyptian poet Yahya Wagdi reflected on poetry’s elusive nature. “It is difficult to define poetry itself,” he said, “yet when a line written in one language moves a reader on the opposite side of the world, that shared emotion is poetry.” In a keynote address, Zhang Hongsen, chairman of the China Writers Association, noted that Chinese and Arab poetry traditions, though separated by geography and language, share concise expression, philosophical depth, and emotional sincerity — qualities that have long served as the spiritual roots of their civilizations. For many participants, the gathering marked their first encounter with China. Sudanese poet Manahil Fathi spoke of her surprise and excitement at hearing her work read aloud before a Chinese audience. The experience, she said, revealed the possibility of mutual understanding through poetry. Egyptian poet Maha Ghanem added, “Poetry allows people to reach deeper layers of the soul and offers a language through which the world might return to peace.” 4. What led Adonis to write the long poem Osmanthus? A. A video call from the poetry festival. B. The sight of a garden planted in his name. C. His loneliness during his stay in Guangzhou. D. The fragrance of osmanthus he experienced in China. 5. What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Hard to grasp. B. Pleasant to hear. C. Impossible to feel. D. Easy to understand. 6. What are the poets’ opinions about poetry? A. It mainly focuses on one’s own inner feelings. B. It helps promote mutual understanding and peace. C. It is better appreciated by people from the same culture. D. It mostly relies on translation for cross-cultural communication. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Poetry: A Bridge Across Cultures. B. A Syrian Poet’s Love for Osmanthus. C. The Growing Popularity of Arab Poets. D. Poetry: A Key to Unlocking Global Peace. C Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider? Data released on December 10th by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every ten years the organization asks adults in dozens of places to sit tests in numeracy (算术) and literacy. The questions it poses are not abstract brainteasers, spelling tests or mental arithmetic. They aim to represent problems people aged 16-65 face in daily life, whether they are working in a factory or an office, or simply trying to make sense of the news. The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries, and their findings are disturbing. They suggest that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than might be expected of a primary-school child. The direction of travel is even less encouraging. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy (识字), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Demographic (人口的) change offers some explanation. New immigrants often struggle with a new language. The native-born have ageing brains. But even after adjusting for this, trends remain discouraging, especially in literacy. Some assume that Netflix, video games and social media are weakening people’s sharp thinking. It is just as likely that education and training systems have misfired. What to do? Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grown-ups; governments ought to start there. England’s adults have climbed up the OECD’s league table, mostly because the youngest ones (aged 16-24) are scoring better than before. That may reflect reforms which have made exams for older teenagers more difficult, and begun requiring youngsters who fail them to try again. In America, which has done fairly badly, states are canceling tests that were in the past used to determine who graduated from high school. Grades there are unchecked. 8. What do the OECD test questions aim to do? A. Test common people’s problems. B. Act as spelling and mental tests. C. Reflect real-life practical problems. D. Help people make sense of the news. 9. What are the latest test results mainly about? A. Basic adult abilities are going downward. B. Math scores rise in a few developed countries. C. Educational qualifications are higher than before. D. Most adults have primary school learning ability. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Young Europeans beat adults in test scores. B. Higher education can raise adults’ test scores. C. Tougher teen exams contribute to better adult scores. D. America has carried out successful education reforms. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Harm of social media to people’s thinking ability. B. Falling adult practical skills and related analysis. C. Influence of population changes on literacy scores. D. Educational reforms carried out in England and US. D First eggs, then feta cheese, caviar, cottage cheese, and cucumbers — viral cooking videos have caused real ingredient shortages in some countries. Iceland ran out of cucumbers; feta disappeared from shelves briefly. Why? Online cooking fans rushed to recreate trending recipes, clearing store aisles within hours. Food is now the fourth-most popular subject on the internet, behind only films, music, and phones — up from 17th place in 2009. No other category except sports has risen faster in the last 15 years. The abundance of online-food content not only causes occasional ingredient shortages when a video goes viral. It is also making cooking more social. TikTok cooking videos attract tens of millions of views, and Mukbang (eating broadcasts) have spread from South Korea to the world, where hosts eat large amounts while chatting with live audiences. The internet has turned people without notable restaurants or cookbooks into celebrity chefs. Nick DiGiovanni, a 28-year-old Harvard-educated food personality, has about 21 million YouTube subscribers — roughly equal to Gordon Ramsay’s following. His success shows how digital platforms can launch cooking careers overnight. This rise isn’t surprising. Everyone eats; cooking is a common hobby. Video is an efficient teaching medium for instruction — more precise, in many ways, than the written word. Americans who recently cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving can testify that “golden brown” to one cook may look underdone to another and even burnt to a third. Traditional cooks may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos, but chefs have long embraced new tech. In the 1800s, Carême wrote illustrated cookbooks that standardized French cuisine. In the 1960s-70s, Julia Child used television to illustrate French food. “Today’s online personalities recognize and meet the specific needs of their viewers — whether for entertainment, learning, or adventure,” explains YouTube’s Madeline Buxton. Online chefs and food boosters sell a lifestyle: you are what you eat, how you eat, and what you watch about eating. 12. Why does the author mention the shortages of feta cheese and cucumbers? A. To criticize consumers for panic buying. B. To show which ingredients are most popular online. C. To compare food shortages across different countries. D. To prove that viral videos can affect real-world supply. 13. What can we learn about Nick DiGiovanni? A. Online platforms fuel his rapid success. B. He teaches cooking mainly on TikTok. C. He runs well-known physical restaurants. D. Cookbooks made him gain wide popularity. 14. What can be inferred from the example of Thanksgiving turkeys in Paragraph 4? A. Video teaching is more entertaining than written cookbooks. B. People hold totally different attitudes towards traditional cooking. C. Most American cooks fail to roast turkeys to perfect golden brown. D. Written recipes cannot describe cooking standards accurately enough. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards online cooking videos? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 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。 It’s not just a trend — millions of people worldwide are now using AI chatbots and apps for mental health support. A 2026 survey found that over 40 million people globally use AI therapy tools every month. Young adults, especially those aged 18 to 29, are the fastest-growing group, with nearly 30% having tried AI for emotional help in the past year. So why are so many choosing AI over traditional therapy? ____16____ Unlike human friends or therapists, AI never criticizes, gets tired, or shares your secrets. It’s also cheap and always available: no appointments, no waitlists, and it’s there 24/7 when anxiety or loneliness hits. Research shows AI therapy actually works for mild-to-moderate stress, anxiety, and depression. A 2025 study in NEJM AI found that AI chatbots reduced depression symptoms by 51% and anxiety by 31% — similar to results from regular therapy. ____17____ But AI therapy is not perfect. ____18____ — it can’t truly understand deep pain, trauma, or complex emotions like a human therapist can. AI also can’t handle severe mental health crises, such as suicidal thoughts, as safely as a trained professional. Privacy is another big concern. When you share your deepest feelings with AI, your data could be stored, analyzed, or even leaked. ____19____ Using too much AI might stop them from seeking real human help when they need it. At the end of the day, AI therapy is a helpful tool, not a replacement. It’s great for daily stress, quick emotional checks, and people who can’t access traditional therapy. But for deep healing, real connection, and crisis support, nothing beats a caring human therapist. ____20____ A. It lacks real human empathy. B. The top reason is no judgment. C. That’s because it is a good listener. D. We should adopt a critical attitude towards AI. E. Some users worry about becoming too dependent on AI. F. AI can walk with you — but it can’t replace a real heart-to-heart. G. Many users report feeling “heard” and less alone after talking to AI. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In my eighties, I suffered from two serious illnesses.

The classroom, usually quiet except for the sound of writing, quickly became lively. “With recitations, songs, and dialogues,” Miss Stacy added with a smile, “everyone will have a part.” Anne loved stories and grand speeches, though performing in front of half the town was quite another matter. She was chosen to give an important speech. At first, she imagined herself standing gracefully on stage, speaking every word perfectly while the audience listened in admiration. But rehearsals had a way of turning beautiful dreams into nervous realities. One afternoon, Anne accidentally skipped three lines and stood frozen in silence as the room burst into laughter. “I fear I shall become the greatest disappointment in the town,” she sighed dramatically afterward. Diana laughed, “You worry too much. You always remember things at the last minute.” Maybe Diana was right. But as the concert came closer, excitement slowly gave way to nervousness. Anne began noticing how serious everyone had become. Even the boys who usually joked during practice were quietly practicing their lines. By the evening of the concert, the school hall was bright with warm lights. Families and neighbors arrived, and the hall quickly filled with cheerful voices. Standing behind the curtain, Anne held her script tightly. Through a small gap, she could see the hall crowded with people. Suddenly, her heart beat a little faster. Just then, someone rushed backstage and whispered anxiously, “Anne, we have a problem. The next performer is ill and can’t go on. You have to go on stage right now!” Anne’s eyes widened. Her hands trembled. For a moment, the old fear of forgetting her lines returned. But there was no time to hesitate. The audience was waiting, and the spotlight would soon find her. 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。 Anne took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage calmly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the concert, Miss Stacy gathered the students, her eyes full of praise and pride. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
