The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 4. Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents. 5. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation. C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles. 6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention. C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy. 7. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Kathy Ho在斯坦福露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）担任教师的工作情况，介绍了医院学校学生的情况、她工作的特点以及医院学校对学生的益处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. (“这里”指的是386 室，每年约有500名露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）的患者在这里成为学生。这所医院学校里没有家长、医生，也没有医疗程序。它是一个学习的地方。Ho老师的学生中，约有一半只待一周或更短时间，其他人则会待一年以上。大多数学生最终会康复，这意味着，帮助他们做好重返学校的准备正成为护理工作中日益重要的组成部分)” 可知，Ho在露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院（LPCH）教生病的孩子。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher. (我是一名教练、一名顾问和一名安慰者，这就是作为一名医院教师的意义)”可知，Ho工作的一个特点是扮演多种角色。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在句“Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. (一些老师不给孩子们布置任何作业，而是表达同情。Ho说：“我觉得这对孩子们是一种伤害”)” 可推知，其中的“it”指的是不给孩子们布置作业这件事。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Julie Good所说的“It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow. (这关乎围绕 “何为充实人生” 展开的问题解决。那些孩子拥有梦想，而学校能通过为他们提供学习与成长的途径，让这些梦想得以延续)”可推知，Good认为医院学校通过让孩子保持学习和成长，帮助他们维系梦想，即帮助他们生活在希望中。故选B。 C My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 8. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 9. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 10. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 11. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈好了自己的焦虑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.(我的完美主义倾向是这一点的主要根源：无论我做什么，我都想做到完美，这在生活中显然是不可能的，但它消耗了我。)”可知，是要求完美导致了焦虑。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. (一天，我在高中参加了野生动物保护主义者Grant Brown的演讲。他的演讲不仅让我感到敬畏和鼓舞，还帮助我产生了一种内在的愿望，希望在世界上有所作为。)”和文章第三段“ Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. (在我收到他的邀请后不久，我的高中就收到了加入“Youth for Nature”和“Youth for Plane”组织的申请。我决定致力于完成这些申请，很快我就成为了一个日益壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。)”可知，是Grant Brown让作者开始为从事保护自然地活动中。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.(我决定完成申请，很快我就成为了一个不断壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。每一步都让我更加自信。)”可知，Alice 加入这些活动让她变得更自信了。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“ Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me.”（去年年初，我被一种焦虑困扰，它削弱了我做任何事情的能力。）由文章第三段“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.(我决定完成申请，很快我就成为了一个不断壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。每一步都让我更加自信。)可知，文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈好了自己的焦虑。所以从文章中我们能学到行动是忧虑最大的敌人。故选C项。 D Hale, president of Granite Telecommunications, was onstage during Thursday’s rainy graduation ceremony to accept the medal for his support for the university. In his brief speech, he praised students for their hard work, and, drawing from his own early experiences, encouraged them not to let failure defeat them. Later, just as the headmaster was about to start awarding degrees to graduates, Hale gently pushed him aside, saying he wanted to celebrate the graduates by giving them $1,000 each. Students appeared from under their umbrellas, erupting in loud cheers and applause (掌声). It went on for nearly a minute before Hale could cut back in. “Listen, there’s a rule,” he said. “The first $500 is our gift to you. The second $500 is for you to do charity, giving to somebody else in need or another organization who could use it more than you.” As he spoke, two big bags were carried onstage. They were filled with 3,000 envelopes, which he said were decorated by students at two local elementary schools, and marked either “gift” or “give”. It was time for students to walk across the stage. One at a time, wearing, raincoats and big smiles, they accepted their diplomas (文凭) and their pair of envelopes. “These are kids who are working their tails off to be there,” he recalled. “They could certainly use the gift.” The 57-year-old man put much of his wealth — over$ 270 million — toward charitable causes, including cancer research and educational institutions. “Some of the most joyous times have been when I’ve had the chance to share,” Hale explained. “If there’s a way that I could create that seed within another generation where they would get to experience the joy of giving, then maybe that becomes something that they would make an effort to do and be accustomed to doing and make us all a little bit better along the way.” He has learned that one of this year’s graduates gave her money to a local charity that provides holiday gifts for poor children. She herself had been a receiver years ago. 12. How did the students feel upon hearing what Hale said in Paragraph 1? A. Calm. B. Overjoyed. C. Embarrassed. D. Curious. 13. How could the students deal with the money marked “give” according to the rule? A. Use it to travel with friends. B. Spend it on learning materials. C. Pay it for gifts for their teachers. D. Donate it for meaningful purposes. 14. What did Hale mean when mentioning students could use the gift? A. They had good luck to be there. B. They needn’t work hard any more. C. They were good enough for the gift. D. They were too young to use the gift. 15. What is the significance of Hale’s practice? A. Paying kindness forward. B. Promoting teaching effectiveness. C. Driving the world forward significantly. D. Strengthening interpersonal connections. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了Granite Telecommunications公司的总裁Hale在雨天的大学毕业典礼上，为毕业生们每人赠送了1000美元，并鼓励他们将其中一半用于慈善事业，帮助其他需要的人或组织。他希望通过这种方式，能够在年轻一代中种下慈善的种子，让他们体验给予的快乐，并努力成为习惯，使社会变得更加美好。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Students appeared from under their umbrellas, erupting in loud cheers and applause(掌声). It went on for nearly a minute before Hale could cut back in.(学生们从伞下出现，爆发出巨大的欢呼声和掌声。这持续了将近一分钟，Hale才切入。)”可推知，学生们听到Hale的话欣喜若狂。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The second $ 500 is for you to do charity, giving it to somebody else in need or another organization who could use it more than you.(第二笔500美元是给你做慈善的，捐给其他有需要的人或另一个比你更能使用它的组织)和“They were filled with 3,000 envelopes, which he said were decorated by students at two local elementary schools, and marked either ‘gift’ or ‘give.’(里边有3000个信封，他说这些信封由两所当地的小学生装饰，标有“gift”和“give”)”可知，学生可以将标有“give”的钱为了有意义的目的而捐赠。故答案为D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘These are kids who are working their tails off to be there,’ he recalled. ‘They could certainly use the gift.’(‘这些都是努力奋斗站在这里的孩子’他回忆说。‘他们当然可以使用这笔礼物’)可推知，Hale想说明学生们足够好配得上这笔礼物。故答案为C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If there’s a way that I could create that seed within another generation where they would get to experience the joy of giving, then maybe that becomes something that they would make an effort to do and be accustomed to doing and make us all a little bit better along the way.(如果我可以创造一种方式在另一代人心里播种种子，使他们体验给予的快乐，那么也许那会变成某种他们会尽力去做并且习惯去做的事情，而且让我们在前进的道路上变得更好)”和“He has learned that one of this year’s graduates gave her money to a local charity that provides holiday gifts to poor children. She herself had been a receiver years ago.(他了解到今年的一位毕业生将她的钱捐给当地慈善，为孩子们提供假期礼物。她自己几年前就当过接收者)”可推知，Hale做法的意义在于将善举继续传递。故答案为A。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Reading Effectively Reading is a lifelong skill that everyone needs in study and daily life, but many people never learn to read efficiently. They often spend plenty of time on reading yet gain little useful information. ____16____ Here are several practical and easy methods to help you improve your reading skills. Preview before reading. Spending one or two minutes previewing the article before reading is a good habit. ____17____ Look at headings, subheadings, pictures, charts and the first sentence of each paragraph. This simple operation helps you get a general idea of the whole passage and know what the text is mainly about. Adjust your reading speed flexibly. There is no need to read every single word slowly. Slow down for difficult and key parts that need deep understanding; skim quickly for trivial details and main ideas. ____18____ Take notes while reading. It is helpful to write down key points, core information or your own questions during reading. ____19____ It can help you focus your attention and sort out the text logic clearly. Review regularly after reading. Go over what you’ve read within 24 hours to deepen your memory and understand the content better. ____20____ Only reading with clear purposes can bring you real progress. A. It’s a waste of time to read without a purpose. B. Many students read word by word, which is slow. C. Previewing takes only a few minutes but saves time later. D. Good readers know when to speed up or slow down. E. You can also underline important information and key sentences. F. Reading is one of the best ways to gain knowledge. G. Without effective strategies, reading can be slow and tiring. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍四种高效阅读的实用方法与相关建议。 【16题详解】 上文“They often spend plenty of time on reading yet gain little useful information. (他们经常花费大量时间阅读，却只获得很少的有用信息。)”说明许多人阅读效率低下的现状。下文“Here are several practical and easy methods to help you improve your reading skills. (以下是几个实用且简单的方法来帮助你提高阅读技能。)”引出具体的改进建议。空处应承上启下，指出缺乏有效策略导致的问题。G选项“Without effective strategies, reading can be slow and tiring. (没有有效的策略，阅读可能会变得缓慢且令人疲惫。)”中的“slow and tiring”与上文形成因果关系，且自然引出下文的解决方法。 【17题详解】 上文“Spending one or two minutes previewing the article before reading is a good habit. (阅读前花一两分钟预览文章是一个好习惯。)”提出了预览的做法。下文“Look at headings, subheadings, pictures, charts and the first sentence of each paragraph. (看标题、副标题、图片、图表和每个段落的第一句话。)”具体说明了预览的内容。空处应承接预览这一话题，说明其作用或优势。C选项“Previewing takes only a few minutes but saves time later. (预览只需几分钟，但以后能节省时间。)”中的“takes only a few minutes”与上文的“one or two minutes”呼应，“saves time later”与下文预览的具体操作形成逻辑衔接。 【18题详解】 上文“Slow down for difficult and key parts that need deep understanding; skim quickly for trivial details and main ideas. (对需要深入理解的难点和关键部分放慢速度；对琐碎细节和主要观点快速浏览。)”说明了根据不同内容调整阅读速度的方法。空处应总结或概括这一阅读技巧。D选项“Good readers know when to speed up or slow down. (好的读者知道何时加速或减速。)”中的“speed up or slow down”与上文的具体描述完全对应，是对该阅读策略的精炼概括。 【19题详解】 上文“It is helpful to write down key points, core information or your own questions during reading. (阅读时写下关键点、核心信息或自己的问题是有帮助的。)”提出了做笔记的具体内容。下文“It can help you focus your attention and sort out the text logic clearly. (它可以帮助你集中注意力，清晰地梳理文本逻辑。)”说明了做笔记的作用。空处应补充做笔记的另一种常见方式。E选项“You can also underline important information and key sentences. (你也可以在重要信息和关键句子下面划线。)”中的“also”与上文形成并列关系，“underline”是另一种笔记标注方式，与下文“It”指代一致。 【20题详解】 上文“Go over what you’ve read within 24 hours to deepen your memory and understand the content better. (在24小时内复习读过的内容，以加深记忆并更好地理解内容。)”提出了复习的建议。下文“Only reading with clear purposes can bring you real progress. (只有带着明确目的的阅读才能带来真正的进步。)”强调了阅读要有目的性。空处应引出或强调阅读目的的重要性。A选项“It’s a waste of time to read without a purpose. (没有目的的阅读是浪费时间。)”中的“without a purpose”与下文的“with clear purposes”形成正反对比，且“waste of time”与上文复习建议形成逻辑递进。 第三部分 语言运用(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。 I’ve been motivated — and demotivated — by other folks’ achievements all my life.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 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。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Para 1 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure. Para 2 Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回到冈特那里，告诉他这个坏消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者留下冈特的电话，承诺会还钱给对方，冈特同意，最终作者及时登上了公共汽车。 ②由第二段首句内容“四天后，当我回到维也纳时，我按照承诺给冈特打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者付费给冈特，并向对方表示感激，两人成为了好朋友。 2.续写线索：作者给出解决办法——承诺还钱——冈特同意——作者登上公共汽车——履行承诺还钱——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：reject/refuse ②给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③记下，写下：write down/set down 情绪类 ①难以置信地：in disbelief/incredibly/unbelievably ②开心地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年度第二学期期末质量检测 高 二 英 语 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 4. Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents. 5. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation. C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles. 6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention. C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy. 7. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories. C My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 8. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 9. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 10. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 11. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. D Hale, president of Granite Telecommunications, was onstage during Thursday’s rainy graduation ceremony to accept the medal for his support for the university. In his brief speech, he praised students for their hard work, and, drawing from his own early experiences, encouraged them not to let failure defeat them. Later, just as the headmaster was about to start awarding degrees to graduates, Hale gently pushed him aside, saying he wanted to celebrate the graduates by giving them $1,000 each. Students appeared from under their umbrellas, erupting in loud cheers and applause (掌声). It went on for nearly a minute before Hale could cut back in. “Listen, there’s a rule,” he said. “The first $500 is our gift to you. The second $500 is for you to do charity, giving to somebody else in need or another organization who could use it more than you.” As he spoke, two big bags were carried onstage. They were filled with 3,000 envelopes, which he said were decorated by students at two local elementary schools, and marked either “gift” or “give”. It was time for students to walk across the stage. One at a time, wearing, raincoats and big smiles, they accepted their diplomas (文凭) and their pair of envelopes. “These are kids who are working their tails off to be there,” he recalled. “They could certainly use the gift.” The 57-year-old man put much of his wealth — over$ 270 million — toward charitable causes, including cancer research and educational institutions. “Some of the most joyous times have been when I’ve had the chance to share,” Hale explained. “If there’s a way that I could create that seed within another generation where they would get to experience the joy of giving, then maybe that becomes something that they would make an effort to do and be accustomed to doing and make us all a little bit better along the way.” He has learned that one of this year’s graduates gave her money to a local charity that provides holiday gifts for poor children. She herself had been a receiver years ago. 12. How did the students feel upon hearing what Hale said in Paragraph 1? A. Calm. B. Overjoyed. C. Embarrassed. D. Curious. 13. How could the students deal with the money marked “give” according to the rule? A. Use it to travel with friends. B. Spend it on learning materials. C. Pay it for gifts for their teachers. D. Donate it for meaningful purposes. 14. What did Hale mean when mentioning students could use the gift? A. They had good luck to be there. B. They needn’t work hard any more. C.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 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。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
