But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like superstars. But then, over the next couple of years, smartphones became popular. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick. I managed to live like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone inconvenient. For instance, many university students are now required to download an app on their phones to confirm identities on campus. That makes smartphone ownership a must. It is nearly impossible to separate your life from your smartphone now. At the same time, researchers are still trying to analyze the effects of phones and the Internet on our mental health. According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets. It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone. Many people would surely like to give them up, but society does not allow for that. In many ways, it is socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again. 24. Why does the author mention her grandma in paragraph 1? A. To comment on the poor design of smartphones. B. To introduce her own attitude towards smartphones. C. To stress the reliability of traditional “dumb phones”. D. To show the difficulty the elderly have with new technology. 25. What can be inferred about the author during her school years without a smartphone? A. She was seen as an outsider by her peers (同伴). B. She had problems with her life and study. C. She enjoyed being the focus of her friends. D. She was considered fashionable in school. 26. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. Social media is the main cause of young people’s anxiety. B. University students should return to using brick phones. C. Easy access to the Internet is linked to mental health issues. D. Smartphones bring more benefits than harm to mental health. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why I Miss My Nokia B. The Rise of Smartphones C. Social Media and Mental Health D. How to Survive without a Smartphone C Planting a tree is one of the simplest ways you can make a small but meaningful difference to your local area. However, if you are new to this, you will soon meet one hot topic in gardening: should you add a stake (桩子) to help support your new sapling (树苗), or leave it naturally? Wander around almost any area with newly planted trees and you will see how widely the former is used, from tripods (三脚架) of metal poles to pairs of giant wooden stakes. But surprisingly, science proved long ago that using these tree supports is actually counterproductive. In nature, the rocking that trees experience when blown by winds makes them grow stronger trunks and deeper roots. But staking trees prevents their normal development. Staking not only stops the tree from moving naturally, but also forces all the bending (弯曲) to happen just above the tie. Instead of growing a wide, strong base that gets thinner towards the top, staked trees often thicken above the tie, creating a “top-heavy” trunk that is dangerously thin at the bottom. As soon as these stakes are removed, the weak trunks can no longer support the weight of the tree. We also know that ties can cause significant harm to trees — even death — by stopping the flow of water and nutrients through their trunks as they grow. That is why researchers at Washington State University have pointed out that the need for staking new trees is actually a common mistake. This doesn’t mean staking is always bad, however. A few studies have found that it can be beneficial under very specific conditions, such as preventing diseases and even death. However, the same team found that these benefits only apply to public trees cared for by professionals. For private gardeners, the opposite is true, as they often forget to remove the stakes at the right time. So, for most home growers, the science is pretty clear: skip this step and get better results. You’re welcome. 28. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Requiring a lot of effort. B. Working in a creative way. C. Being extremely expensive. D. Having a negative effect. 29. According to the passage, what might a tree look like if staked for too long? A. B. C. D. 30. What do we know about staking from the paragraph 6? A. It is harmful to all kinds of trees all the time. B. It works well on public trees tended by professionals. C. Private gardeners always take away stakes in time. D. Stakes can cure diseases of young trees completely. 31. Why does the author suggest skipping the step of staking? A. To save home growers the cost of buying wooden stakes. B. To protect the environment from using too much metal. C. To follow the latest fashion trends in modern gardening. D. To allow trees to develop strength through natural rocking. D Once a popular destination for international visitors, Ein Gedi beach on the Dead Sea has been closed for five years. The area is now covered with dangerous sinkholes — deep holes in the ground caused by the sudden collapse (坍塌) of the surface. These holes appear because the lake’s water level is dropping so fast that the underground salt layers are dissolving (溶解), making the land dangerous to walk on. The Dead Sea, shared by several neighboring regions, has been dying for years. In recent years, the unclear division of responsibility among those involved has led to the gradual disappearance of efforts to save it. Environmentalists warn that regional cooperation (合作) is the only key, yet this remains a significant challenge. The crisis is both natural and man-made. The evaporation (蒸发) of the salty waters takes place because temperatures reach up to 50℃ in summer. The sea has also been affected by years of increasing water usage from the sea’s main source, the Jordan River. Local factories also use the water to get minerals (矿物). All of these result in an ecological disaster. At the environment branch, Ohad Carny has been working on the Dead Sea issue for years. He said several solutions were being considered, including building a desalination (淡化) factory and a canal (运河) to bring in water from the Red Sea. One might ask: why not simply pour Red Sea water directly into the Dead Sea? Scientists warn that this “quick fix” could be a disaster. Mixing the two different types of water might cause a chemical reaction, turning the famous blue Dead Sea into a milky white color. Therefore, the plan shifted toward desalinating the water first, but this faces a major challenge. As Carny explains, the process is extremely expensive. “It doesn’t make economic sense to spend so much money to desalinate water just to fill the lake,” he said. In a region where every drop is precious, providing drinking water for people and agriculture must come first. Furthermore, because the Dead Sea is shared by several neighboring regions, any such project requires a shared agreement on costs and benefits. “We can’t do it alone. It must be a joint effort. So only time will tell, and we can’t do anything without an agreement together with the Jordanian side,” said Carny. 32. Why was the Ein Gedi beach closed to the public? A. Dangerous sinkholes appeared. B. It was ruined by local factories. C. Underground salt was used up. D. The sea level went up sharply. 33. What might be a problem with the “quick fix” in paragraph 4? A. It would be too expensive to build the canal. B. It could change the lake’s natural appearance. C. The Red Sea water might not be salty enough. D. It would lead to the appearance of more sinkholes. 34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Agriculture must be stopped to save the lake. B. The canal project will solve the problem soon. C. Technology is more important than cooperation. D. Cooperation with neighbours makes the task manageable. 35. How does Ohad Carny feel about the current situation? A. Hopeful. B. Satisfied. C. Helpless. D. Confused. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Walking seems automatic, but the sidewalk is a complex social ecosystem with its own unspoken laws. Violating (违反) them doesn’t result in a ticket. ____36____ Here is how to ensure your daily walk is both efficient and polite. Respect the Flow of Traffic. Imagine the sidewalk as a river. If you stop abruptly in the middle of the stream, you interrupt the current for everyone behind you. Before you pause to check your phone or tie your shoe, glance behind you. If someone is approaching, step to the side. ____37____ Navigate the Dance of Passing. We have all been there: two people walking toward each other, both stepping left at the same time, then both stepping right, trapped in an awkward dance. ____38____ By committing to a direction early, you allow the other person to adjust accordingly. Manage Your Group Dynamics. While walking with friends is enjoyable, the person behind your group in a row might be forced to step into the street to get around you, putting them in danger. Be mindful of your width; if the path is crowded, drop into a single file line. ____39____ Predictability is Safety. ____40____ If you intend to cross a street, do not rush out from between parked cars. You should wait until you have a clear line of sight and make eye contact with oncoming traffic. When you act predictably, you make it easier for drivers to react. Ultimately, being a considerate walker isn’t just about following rules; it’s about acknowledging that you share the space with others. A. Yet it is hard to keep a conversation flowing in heavy traffic. B. The river can flow around you without slowing down its pace. C. A small shoulder shift or gaze change shows your chosen direction. D. Drivers and cyclists rely on pedestrians (行人) behaving in expected ways. E. The solution is simply to stop briefly and let the other person pass first. F. These small adjustments prevent the confusion that leads to mid-walk crashes. G. However, it does cause friction, frustration, and sometimes, physical collisions. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a young girl, two of my wishes were to have glasses and to have braces (牙箍), which I ____41____ with the world of growing up.

Our teacher happened to seat us next to each other, and within a week we were inseparable. We spent our afternoons drawing pictures, making up secret languages, and recording silly “radio shows” on an old tape recorder. Our families soon became close, and we often went camping together during the summer. One evening, lying in sleeping bags under the stars, we made a promise. When we grew up, we would be each other’s bridesmaids (伴娘). At that age, we believed nothing could ever separate us. But life doesn’t always follow childhood promises. At the end of sixth grade, Emily’s family moved to another state, nearly eleven hours away by car. We tried to keep in touch at first. We wrote letters, exchanged birthday cards, and even met once at a summer camp. Yet as the years passed, we slowly grew apart. Years later, when I was planning my wedding, Emily’s name crossed my mind more than once. But so much time had passed that I hesitated to invite her, fearing it might be awkward. In the end, I didn’t invite her at all. A few weeks after the wedding, I learned through social media that Emily had seen the photos. She sent me a short message saying she was surprised not to hear from me. I stared at her words for a long time, unsure how to reply. Instead of answering, I put down my phone and told myself I would respond later. But “later” turned into months, and then years. One autumn evening many years later, I watched my daughter laughing with her best friend in the backyard. The sight suddenly reminded me of my childhood with Emily — our laughter, our secrets, and the promise we had made long ago. That night, after the house was quiet, I opened my phone and found Emily’s name again. For a long moment, I stared at the blank message box. 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。 My fingers hung over the keyboard as I wondered what I should say. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, my phone suddenly lit up with a new message. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期期末学情质量监测 高二英语 （分值：150分 时长：120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where will the man sit?

Unfortunately, one of our swimmers had a sudden pain in her left leg during the race. She stopped swimming and shouted for help. A teacher jumped into the pool and brought her back. Luckily, she was fine. At about 9:10, it was time for my event, the 200-meter freestyle. I walked to the edge of the pool and waited for the judge to fire his gun. I heard him say, “On your marks… Get set… Go!” and we jumped in. However, a swimmer dived into the pool too early. We had to start again. I was in the lead for the first 150 meters, but another swimmer swam past me later. I won a medal for second place. I was a little disappointed. My team came in second overall, with 47 points. The team which won had a total of 53 points. I’m tired out now.

But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like superstars. But then, over the next couple of years, smartphones became popular. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick. I managed to live like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone inconvenient. For instance, many university students are now required to download an app on their phones to confirm identities on campus. That makes smartphone ownership a must. It is nearly impossible to separate your life from your smartphone now. At the same time, researchers are still trying to analyze the effects of phones and the Internet on our mental health. According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets. It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone. Many people would surely like to give them up, but society does not allow for that. In many ways, it is socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again. 24. Why does the author mention her grandma in paragraph 1? A. To comment on the poor design of smartphones. B. To introduce her own attitude towards smartphones. C. To stress the reliability of traditional “dumb phones”. D. To show the difficulty the elderly have with new technology. 25. What can be inferred about the author during her school years without a smartphone? A. She was seen as an outsider by her peers (同伴). B. She had problems with her life and study. C. She enjoyed being the focus of her friends. D. She was considered fashionable in school. 26. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. Social media is the main cause of young people’s anxiety. B. University students should return to using brick phones. C. Easy access to the Internet is linked to mental health issues. D. Smartphones bring more benefits than harm to mental health. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why I Miss My Nokia B. The Rise of Smartphones C. Social Media and Mental Health D. How to Survive without a Smartphone 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者借奶奶不习惯智能手机引出自身经历：她十年只用诺基亚，却因现实需求改用智能机，认为随身网络易带来焦虑，至今仍怀念老式功能机。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My grandma has a new smartphone, and I am trying to help her use it. But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020.( 我奶奶刚买了一部新智能手机，我正努力帮她使用。但她却说这手机“坏了”，因为屏幕上出现的内容会消失且无法恢复。而她以前的“老式傻瓜机”则更可靠。尽管我是个精通技术、24岁的孙女，但我完全理解她的感受。而且，我也曾选择在2010年到2020年间整整十年都不用智能手机。)”可推知，作者提及奶奶的经历，是为了自然过渡到自己对智能手机的态度与相关经历，起到引入话题的作用。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick.( 我成了大家眼中的异类——无法播放音乐，也无法用复习类应用来备考。到了大学时，人们甚至公开评论，觉得我居然还有一部诺基亚老手机，真是奇怪。)”可推知，在同学都使用智能手机的环境里，不用智能手机的作者被同伴视为与众不同的“局外人”。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets.( 根据最近的研究，2010年至2020年这一十年间，年轻人的幸福感开始急剧下降。而就在同一时期，互联网也已悄然进入我们的日常生活中。)”以及第五段中“It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone.( 导致年轻人感到悲伤和焦虑的，并不一定是社交媒体本身，而是社交媒体通过智能手机在他们生活中的持续存在。)”可推知，作者认为智能手机让互联网随时可及，这种持续在线的状态与年轻人的心理健康问题相关。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again.( 即便到了现在，我也很想重新用回我的诺基亚功能机。最近，我厌倦了iPhone不断响起的提示音，便在网上买了一部二手诺基亚。这台诺基亚依然在那里，随时准备让我再次使用。)”可知，全文以作者的个人经历为核心：从十年坚持使用诺基亚功能机，到因社会变化不得不使用智能手机，再到如今仍怀念功能机的简单状态，同时探讨智能手机带来的心理影响。A选项Why I Miss My Nokia“我为何怀念我的诺基亚”既点明了核心情感，也能串联全文内容，适合作为文章的标题。 C Planting a tree is one of the simplest ways you can make a small but meaningful difference to your local area. However, if you are new to this, you will soon meet one hot topic in gardening: should you add a stake (桩子) to help support your new sapling (树苗), or leave it naturally? Wander around almost any area with newly planted trees and you will see how widely the former is used, from tripods (三脚架) of metal poles to pairs of giant wooden stakes. But surprisingly, science proved long ago that using these tree supports is actually counterproductive. In nature, the rocking that trees experience when blown by winds makes them grow stronger trunks and deeper roots. But staking trees prevents their normal development. Staking not only stops the tree from moving naturally, but also forces all the bending (弯曲) to happen just above the tie. Instead of growing a wide, strong base that gets thinner towards the top, staked trees often thicken above the tie, creating a “top-heavy” trunk that is dangerously thin at the bottom. As soon as these stakes are removed, the weak trunks can no longer support the weight of the tree. We also know that ties can cause significant harm to trees — even death — by stopping the flow of water and nutrients through their trunks as they grow. That is why researchers at Washington State University have pointed out that the need for staking new trees is actually a common mistake. This doesn’t mean staking is always bad, however. A few studies have found that it can be beneficial under very specific conditions, such as preventing diseases and even death. However, the same team found that these benefits only apply to public trees cared for by professionals. For private gardeners, the opposite is true, as they often forget to remove the stakes at the right time. So, for most home growers, the science is pretty clear: skip this step and get better results. You’re welcome. 28. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Requiring a lot of effort. B. Working in a creative way. C. Being extremely expensive. D. Having a negative effect. 29. According to the passage, what might a tree look like if staked for too long? A. B. C. D. 30. What do we know about staking from the paragraph 6? A. It is harmful to all kinds of trees all the time. B. It works well on public trees tended by professionals. C. Private gardeners always take away stakes in time. D. Stakes can cure diseases of young trees completely. 31. Why does the author suggest skipping the step of staking? A. To save home growers the cost of buying wooden stakes. B. To protect the environment from using too much metal. C. To follow the latest fashion trends in modern gardening. D. To allow trees to develop strength through natural rocking. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了种树时是否应该使用木桩支撑树苗的问题，并指出在大多数情况下，支撑反而会阻碍树木的正常生长。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But surprisingly, science proved long ago that using these tree supports is actually counterproductive. (但令人惊讶的是，科学早已证明使用这些树木支撑物实际上是counterproductive的)”和第三段“In nature, the rocking that trees experience when blown by winds makes them grow stronger trunks and deeper roots. But staking trees prevents their normal development. (在自然界中，树木被风吹动时的摇摆使它们长出更粗壮的树干和更深的根系。但支撑树木阻碍了它们的正常发育)”可知，树木支撑物会阻碍了它们的正常发育，会产生负面效果。所以划线词counterproductive意为“产生负面效果的”。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Instead of growing a wide, strong base that gets thinner towards the top, staked trees often thicken above the tie, creating a “top-heavy” trunk that is dangerously thin at the bottom. (支撑的树木往往会在绑带上方增粗，而不是长出一个宽而坚固的基部并向顶部逐渐变细，从而形成“头重脚轻”的树干，底部危险地细弱)”可知，长时间支撑的树木会形成底部细、上部粗的形态，图片B展示了这一情况。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“A few studies have found that it can be beneficial under very specific conditions, such as preventing diseases and even death. However, the same team found that these benefits only apply to public trees cared for by professionals. (一些研究发现，在非常特定的条件下，支撑可能是有益的，例如预防疾病甚至死亡。然而，同一团队发现，这些益处仅适用于由专业人员照料的公共树木)”可知，支撑在专业人员照料的公共树木上效果良好。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In nature, the rocking that trees experience when blown by winds makes them grow stronger trunks and deeper roots. (在自然界中，树木被风吹动时的摇摆使它们长出更粗壮的树干和更深的根系)”以及第四段中“Instead of growing a wide, strong base that gets thinner towards the top, staked trees often thicken above the tie, creating a “top-heavy” trunk that is dangerously thin at the bottom. (支撑的树木往往会在绑带上方增粗，而不是长出一个宽而坚固的基部并向顶部逐渐变细，从而形成“头重脚轻”的树干，底部危险地细弱)”可知，支撑对树木有负面影响，作者建议跳过支撑步骤是为了让树木通过自然摇摆来增强力量。 D Once a popular destination for international visitors, Ein Gedi beach on the Dead Sea has been closed for five years. The area is now covered with dangerous sinkholes — deep holes in the ground caused by the sudden collapse (坍塌) of the surface. These holes appear because the lake’s water level is dropping so fast that the underground salt layers are dissolving (溶解), making the land dangerous to walk on. The Dead Sea, shared by several neighboring regions, has been dying for years. In recent years, the unclear division of responsibility among those involved has led to the gradual disappearance of efforts to save it. Environmentalists warn that regional cooperation (合作) is the only key, yet this remains a significant challenge. The crisis is both natural and man-made. The evaporation (蒸发) of the salty waters takes place because temperatures reach up to 50℃ in summer. The sea has also been affected by years of increasing water usage from the sea’s main source, the Jordan River. Local factories also use the water to get minerals (矿物). All of these result in an ecological disaster. At the environment branch, Ohad Carny has been working on the Dead Sea issue for years. He said several solutions were being considered, including building a desalination (淡化) factory and a canal (运河) to bring in water from the Red Sea. One might ask: why not simply pour Red Sea water directly into the Dead Sea? Scientists warn that this “quick fix” could be a disaster. Mixing the two different types of water might cause a chemical reaction, turning the famous blue Dead Sea into a milky white color. Therefore, the plan shifted toward desalinating the water first, but this faces a major challenge. As Carny explains, the process is extremely expensive. “It doesn’t make economic sense to spend so much money to desalinate water just to fill the lake,” he said. In a region where every drop is precious, providing drinking water for people and agriculture must come first. Furthermore, because the Dead Sea is shared by several neighboring regions, any such project requires a shared agreement on costs and benefits. “We can’t do it alone. It must be a joint effort. So only time will tell, and we can’t do anything without an agreement together with the Jordanian side,” said Carny. 32. Why was the Ein Gedi beach closed to the public? A. Dangerous sinkholes appeared. B. It was ruined by local factories. C. Underground salt was used up. D. The sea level went up sharply. 33. What might be a problem with the “quick fix” in paragraph 4? A. It would be too expensive to build the canal. B. It could change the lake’s natural appearance. C. The Red Sea water might not be salty enough. D. It would lead to the appearance of more sinkholes. 34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Agriculture must be stopped to save the lake. B. The canal project will solve the problem soon. C. Technology is more important than cooperation. D. Cooperation with neighbours makes the task manageable. 35. How does Ohad Carny feel about the current situation? A. Hopeful. B. Satisfied. C. Helpless. D. Confused. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述死海生态持续恶化的现状、自然与人为成因、修复方案及面临的成本与区域合作难题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Once a popular destination for international visitors, Ein Gedi beach on the Dead Sea has been closed for five years. The area is now covered with dangerous sinkholes — deep holes in the ground caused by the sudden collapse of the surface.(曾经是国际游客热门目的地的死海恩盖迪海滩现已关闭五年。该地区如今遍布危险的落水洞，即地表突然坍塌形成的深坑)”可知，恩盖迪海滩对公众关闭是因为出现了危险的落水洞。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Scientists warn that this “quick fix” could be a disaster. Mixing the two different types of water might cause a chemical reaction, turning the famous blue Dead Sea into a milky white color.(科学家警告称，这种“快速补救措施”可能会造成灾难。混合两种不同的水源可能引发化学反应，将著名的蓝色死海变成乳白色)”可知，该快速补救措施的问题是可能改变湖泊的自然外观。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Furthermore, because the Dead Sea is shared by several neighboring regions, any such project requires a shared agreement on costs and benefits. “We can’t do it alone. It must be a joint effort.(此外，由于死海由多个邻近地区共有，任何此类项目都需要各方就成本和收益达成共识。我们无法独自完成，这必须是共同的努力)”可知，与邻国合作才能让治理工作得以推进。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It doesn’t make economic sense to spend so much money to desalinate water just to fill the lake”以及“So only time will tell, and we can’t do anything without an agreement together with the Jordanian side.(花费巨额资金淡化水仅为填充湖泊不具备经济意义。唯有时间能给出答案，若无法与约旦方面达成协议，我们将无能为力)”可知，Ohad Carny面对高成本、优先民生及合作壁垒的现状感到束手无策，即无助的。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Walking seems automatic, but the sidewalk is a complex social ecosystem with its own unspoken laws.

If you stop abruptly in the middle of the stream, you interrupt the current for everyone behind you. Before you pause to check your phone or tie your shoe, glance behind you. If someone is approaching, step to the side. ____37____ Navigate the Dance of Passing. We have all been there: two people walking toward each other, both stepping left at the same time, then both stepping right, trapped in an awkward dance. ____38____ By committing to a direction early, you allow the other person to adjust accordingly. Manage Your Group Dynamics. While walking with friends is enjoyable, the person behind your group in a row might be forced to step into the street to get around you, putting them in danger. Be mindful of your width; if the path is crowded, drop into a single file line. ____39____ Predictability is Safety. ____40____ If you intend to cross a street, do not rush out from between parked cars. You should wait until you have a clear line of sight and make eye contact with oncoming traffic. When you act predictably, you make it easier for drivers to react. Ultimately, being a considerate walker isn’t just about following rules; it’s about acknowledging that you share the space with others. A. Yet it is hard to keep a conversation flowing in heavy traffic. B. The river can flow around you without slowing down its pace. C. A small shoulder shift or gaze change shows your chosen direction. D. Drivers and cyclists rely on pedestrians (行人) behaving in expected ways. E. The solution is simply to stop briefly and let the other person pass first. F. These small adjustments prevent the confusion that leads to mid-walk crashes. G. However, it does cause friction, frustration, and sometimes, physical collisions. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍人行道隐性社交规则，教人们做到高效又礼貌地日常行走。 【36题详解】 由上文“Walking seems automatic, but the sidewalk is a complex social ecosystem with its own unspoken laws. Violating (违反) them doesn’t result in a ticket.(行走看似是下意识的行为，但人行道是一套复杂的社会生态系统，有着自身不成文的规则，违反这些规则并不会收到罚单。)”及下文“Here is how to ensure your daily walk is both efficient and polite.(以下是确保你日常行走既高效又有礼貌的方法。)”可知，本空应说明违规虽无罚单但仍有不良后果。G选项“然而，它确实会引起摩擦、挫败感，有时还会导致身体碰撞。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【37题详解】 由上文“Respect the Flow of Traffic. Imagine the sidewalk as a river. If you stop abruptly in the middle of the stream, you interrupt the current for everyone behind you. Before you pause to check your phone or tie your shoe, glance behind you. If someone is approaching, step to the side.(顺应行人通行秩序。把人行道想象成一条河流。如果你突然停在人流中间，就会阻断身后所有人的通行。在你停下看手机或系鞋带前，先回头看一眼。如果有人正朝你走来，就往路边靠一靠。)”可知，本空应说明这样做的结果。B选项“人流就能从你身旁顺畅经过，不用放慢脚步。”说明让行后不影响后方行人，承接上文，符合语境。 【38题详解】 由上文“Navigate the Dance of Passing. We have all been there: two people walking toward each other, both stepping left at the same time, then both stepping right, trapped in an awkward dance.(巧妙应对迎面避让的尴尬拉锯场面。我们都遇到过这种情形：两个人迎面走来，两人同时往左避让，接着又同时往右挪，陷入一番难堪的来回躲闪。)”可知，此处说明如何明确避让方向。C选项“小幅侧身或眼神示意就能表明你选择的方向。”针对上文尴尬情境提出解决方案，承接上文，符合语境。 【39题详解】 由上文“Manage Your Group Dynamics. While walking with friends is enjoyable, the person behind your group in a row might be forced to step into the street to get around you, putting them in danger. Be mindful of your width; if the path is crowded, drop into a single file line.(结伴同行须知。和朋友一起走路固然开心，但如果你们几个人并排走，身后的路人可能只能走到车道上才能绕开你们，这会让对方身处危险。注意控制队伍占用的宽度；道路拥挤时，请排成一列单行。)”可知，本空应说明这样调整的好处。F选项“这些小调整可以防止导致中途碰撞的混乱。”总结上文做法的作用，承接上文，符合语境。 【40题详解】 本段小标题为“Predictability is Safety.(可预测性就是安全。)”及下文“If you intend to cross a street, do not rush out from between parked cars. You should wait until you have a clear line of sight and make eye contact with oncoming traffic. When you act predictably, you make it easier for drivers to react.(如果你准备过马路，切勿从停放的车辆之间突然冲出去。你应当等到视线完全开阔，并且与迎面驶来的车辆驾驶人进行眼神示意。当你的行走行为有规律、可预判时，司机就能更从容地做出反应。)”可知，空格处应点明司机、骑行者依靠行人规范、可预判的行为保障安全。D选项“司机和骑车者依赖行人按预期方式行事。”能概括本段主旨，说明行人行为可预测的重要性，符合语境。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a young girl, two of my wishes were to have glasses and to have braces (牙箍), which I ____41____ with the world of growing up.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者小时候渴望戴牙箍，但戴上后却不喜欢。牙龈手术后因麻木无法吞咽，在商店被众人注视。这次经历让她学会尊重他人外貌。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：作为一个年轻女孩，我的两个愿望是戴眼镜和戴牙箍，我把它们与成长的世界联系在一起。A. compared比较；B. mixed混合；C. confirmed确认；D. connected联系。根据上文“As a young girl, two of my wishes”和下文“with the world of growing up”可推知，作为年轻女孩子，作者渴望成长，所以她把戴眼镜和戴牙箍视为成长的标志，把它们与成长“联系”在一起。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我二年级时戴上了眼镜，很快意识到我错了——我根本不想戴眼镜。A. wrong错误的；B. weak虚弱的；C. right正确的；D. powerful强大的。根据下文“I did not want to wear glasses”可知，戴上了眼镜后，作者才意识到自己之前的想法是“错误的”。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我仍然梦想着戴牙箍，那些金属和塑料会把我变成一个更成熟、更有吸引力的人。A. friendlier更友好的；B. younger更年轻的；C. older更老的；D. healthier更健康的。根据上文“the world of growing up”以及戴牙箍象征成长可知，她认为牙箍的金属和塑料会把自己变得更“成熟”。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：但当我终于戴上牙箍时，我发现现实与我想象的完全不同。A. struggle挣扎；B. decision决定；C. reality现实；D. growth成长。根据上文“when I finally got my braces”和下文“far different than I’d imagined”可知，戴上牙箍后，作者发现“现实”与想象不一样。 【45题详解】 考查动词。句意：我讨厌牙箍在我身上的样子和它们的感觉。A. liked喜欢；B. hated讨厌；C. tracked追踪；D. admitted承认。根据上文“I dreamed of wearing braces, the metal and plastic that would turn me into someone and much more appealing.”和“far different than I’d imagined”可知，现实与想象的完全不同，牙箍并没有让作者变得更有吸引力，所以她开始“讨厌”牙箍。 【46题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：更糟的是，医生提到我需要做牙龈手术。A. better更好的；B. funnier更有趣的；C. stranger更奇怪的；D. worse更糟的。根据上文“I the way the braces looked on me and the way they felt.”和下文“I was going to need a gum surgery”可知，不但讨厌牙箍，现在还需要做手术，情况变得“更糟”了。 【47题详解】 考查动词。句意：无视我的担忧和疑虑，妈妈立即预约了医生。A. Expecting期待；B. Observing观察；C. Ignoring忽视，对……不予理会；D. Recognizing认识到。根据上文“my concerns and doubts”和下文“my mom made an immediate appointment”可知，尽管作者有担忧和疑虑，但妈妈选择了“忽视”，立即预约了医生。 【48题详解】 考查动词。句意：正如她所预测的，我确实挺过了手术。A. welcome欢迎；B. survive挺过；C. prefer更喜欢；D. quit放弃。根据下文“It turned out that all my had been for nothing”可知，作者“挺过了”手术。 【49题详解】 考查名词。句意：事实证明，我所有的担心都是多余的。A. worries担心；B. efforts努力；C. confusion困惑；D. comment评论。根据上文“my concerns and doubts”和下文“had been for nothing”可知，作者的“担心”是多余的。 【50题详解】 考查副词。句意：我们谁都没有意识到我的嘴已经麻木了，因此我无法再吞咽了。A. instead相反；B. therefore因此；C. otherwise否则；D. rather相当。根据上文“my mouth had been numbed”和下文“I could no longer swallow”可知，两者是因果关系，用“therefore”。 【51题详解】 考查名词。句意：他们的表情从好奇到同情再到厌恶。A. anger愤怒；B. envy嫉妒；C. curiosity好奇；D. shame羞愧。根据上文“everyone was staring at us.”和下文“to pity to dislike”可知，人们不知道她怎么了可知，最初感到“好奇”。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：没有人知道我刚刚做了手术。A. fever发烧；B. surgery手术；C. exam考试；D. accident事故。根据上文“I was going to need a gum surgery”和“As she had predicted, I did the surgery.”可知，作者刚做了“手术”，但商店里没有人知道这一情况。 【53题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我们开车回家后，麻木感终于消失了，我恢复了正常吞咽。A. took off起飞；B. ran out用完；C. built up建立；D. went away消失。根据下文“returned to normal swallowing”可知，麻木感“消失”，可以正常吞咽了。 【54题详解】 考查名词。句意：这次经历改变了我对外貌的看法。A. appearances外貌；B. feelings感受；C. actions行为；D. judgments判断。根据下文“regardless of their looks”可知，作者改变自己对“外貌”的看法。 【55题详解】 考查名词。句意：我决心善待他人——无论他们的外貌如何——并尊重他们。A. pity同情；B. pride骄傲；C. regret遗憾；D. respect尊重。根据上文“regardless of their looks”和“with kindness”可知，不以貌取人，以善意待人，这也是一种“尊重”。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 At a crossroads of the ancient world, where goods and ideas of the East and the West met for centuries, archaeologists continue to piece together a story of ____56____ (diverse). ____57____ (study) of the Tangchaodun site in Xinjiang have brought new finds.

Our teacher happened to seat us next to each other, and within a week we were inseparable. We spent our afternoons drawing pictures, making up secret languages, and recording silly “radio shows” on an old tape recorder. Our families soon became close, and we often went camping together during the summer. One evening, lying in sleeping bags under the stars, we made a promise. When we grew up, we would be each other’s bridesmaids (伴娘). At that age, we believed nothing could ever separate us. But life doesn’t always follow childhood promises. At the end of sixth grade, Emily’s family moved to another state, nearly eleven hours away by car. We tried to keep in touch at first. We wrote letters, exchanged birthday cards, and even met once at a summer camp. Yet as the years passed, we slowly grew apart. Years later, when I was planning my wedding, Emily’s name crossed my mind more than once. But so much time had passed that I hesitated to invite her, fearing it might be awkward. In the end, I didn’t invite her at all. A few weeks after the wedding, I learned through social media that Emily had seen the photos. She sent me a short message saying she was surprised not to hear from me. I stared at her words for a long time, unsure how to reply. Instead of answering, I put down my phone and told myself I would respond later. But “later” turned into months, and then years. One autumn evening many years later, I watched my daughter laughing with her best friend in the backyard. The sight suddenly reminded me of my childhood with Emily — our laughter, our secrets, and the promise we had made long ago. That night, after the house was quiet, I opened my phone and found Emily’s name again. For a long moment, I stared at the blank message box. 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。 My fingers hung over the keyboard as I wondered what I should say. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, my phone suddenly lit up with a new message. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 My fingers hung over the keyboard as I wondered what I should say. After several minutes of thinking, I finally typed a simple greeting: “Hi Emily, it’s been a long time.” Then, with my heart beating fast, I added, “I’ve been thinking about our childhood days recently. Do you remember when we promised to be each other’s bridesmaids?” I hesitated for a while before sending the message, worried about how she would reply. But I felt it was time to reconnect with the past. Determined, I pressed send. A few minutes later, my phone suddenly lit up with a new message. It was from Emily: “I remember that promise! I actually thought about it just last week when I was looking through old photos. I’d love to catch up with you.” Her words brought tears to my eyes. We spent the next hour sharing stories about our lives. Despite the years of silence, it felt as if no time had passed at all. Our conversation reminded me that some connections are never truly broken — they only wait for the right moment to be rebuilt. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者十岁与Emily结下深厚友谊，二人约定做彼此伴娘。后来对方搬家，两人渐渐疏远。作者婚礼未邀请她，多年断联。看见女儿和好友相伴，作者主动发消息重拾旧情，两人畅聊过往，明白真挚情谊不会真正消散，只需主动修复。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者主动发消息重拾旧情。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人畅聊过往，明白真挚情谊不会真正消散，只需主动修复。 2.续写线索：编辑消息——迟疑并最终发送——收到回复——分享各自生活——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①心跳加速：beat fast/race ②回复：reply/respond 情绪类 ①担心：worried/concerned ②沉默：silence/stillness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Do you remember when we promised to be each other’s bridesmaids?（运用了when引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] I actually thought about it just last week when I was looking through old photos.（运用了when引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Excuse me, may I sit next to you?
