For Shanghai high school senior Xiao Tai, the answer lies in a 115-square-meter eco-garden within a residential community in Hongkou District. Over the past eight months, the 17-year-old created a habitat with urban wildlife. Xiao’s passion for nature began when he was a child. He immersed himself in ecological conservation through online videos, scientific databases, and hands-on activities. However, it was an encounter with a community clean-up project two years ago that shifted his focus to urban wildlife. “I noticed how even a small green space can support biodiversity,” he recalled. This inspired him to create a refuge (避难所) for local species. The eco-garden has two sections. The first, a 15-square-meter plot near an internal road, was transformed from an existing greenbelt. Last summer, Xiao obtained permission from the neighborhood committee to experiment there. He planted native nectar plants (蜜源植物) and built a Benjes hedge — a pile of branches that provides shelter for small animals and attracts insects. Because of the success of this first project, the committee allocated another 100-square-meter area for further development. This area was divided into three ecological zones. One section features artificial water containers for birds and frogs. Another area has a pond to support native species, with monitoring cameras. The third zone is used to restore native plants. In early March, a hedgehog (刺猬) was captured on camera exploring the Benjes hedge. “It can rest safely here without fear of predators (捕食性动物),” shared Xiao. Xiao also put up educational signs and warnings against improper behaviors like picking plants. Every weekend afternoon, he gives guided tours, mainly for local children. Xiao hopes to involve more people in maintaining the garden in the future. “Right now, it’s just me, but others will take over as I get busier as a Senior 3 student,” he said. As he prepares for college, he plans to study ecology and continue his conservation efforts. 36. What inspired Xiao Tai to create a refuge for local species? A. His love for nature started in his childhood. B. A community clean-up project two years ago. C. His interest in urban wildlife from online videos. D. The success of the first eco-garden project. 37. How did Xiao Tai get the permission to experiment in the first plot of the eco-garden? A. He applied for it through an online platform. B. He got it from the local government easily. C. He didn’t need permission as it was his own land. D. He asked the neighborhood committee for it last summer. 38. What is one of the features of the second area of the eco-garden? A. It has a pond to support native species with cameras. B. It is mainly used for growing non-native plants. C. It is a place for children to play on weekends. D. It is a large open space for birds to fly freely. 39. What can we infer about Xiao Tai’s future plans? A. He will give up the eco-garden as he gets busier. B. He will study something unrelated to ecology in college. C. He will stop his conservation efforts after entering college. D. He hopes more people will be involved in garden maintenance. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of urban wildlife conservation. B. The different sections of an eco-garden in Shanghai. C. How a high school student created an eco-garden in the city. D. The role of neighborhood committees in environmental projects. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. A 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了上海高三学生Xiao Tai在社区打造生态花园，分区营造野生动物栖息地，科普宣传，还希望更多人参与维护，并打算大学深造生态专业。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, it was an encounter with a community clean-up project two years ago that shifted his focus to urban wildlife “I noticed how even a small green space can support biodiversity,” he recalled. This inspired him to create a refuge (避难所) for local species.( 然而，两年前一次参与社区清洁活动的经历，让他将关注点转向了城市野生动物。“我注意到，哪怕是一个小小的绿地，也能支持生物多样性，”他回忆道。这激发了他为本地物种创建庇护所的想法。)”可知，两年前的一个社区清洁项目激励Xiao Tai为本地物种创建了一个庇护所。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Last summer, Xiao obtained permission from the neighborhood committee to experiment there.( 去年夏天，Xiao Tai获得居委会许可，在此进行试验种植。)”可知，Xiao Tai是在去年夏天向居委会申请，获得了第一块试验用地的许可。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Another area has a pond to support native species, with monitoring cameras. The third zone is used to restore native plants.( 另一个区域有一个池塘来支持本地物种，并有监控摄像头。第三个区域则用于恢复原生植物。)”可知，生态花园第二区域的特征之一是园区内设有带监控摄像头、供养本地物种的池塘。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Xiao hopes to involve more people in maintaining the garden in the future. “Right now, it’s just me, but others will take over as I get busier as a Senior 3 student,” he said. As he prepares for college, he plans to study ecology and continue his conservation efforts.( Xiao Tai希望未来能吸引更多人参与花园的维护工作。“目前只有我一个人负责，但随着我作为高三学生越来越忙碌，其他人会接手，”他说。在准备升入大学的同时，他计划学习生态学，并继续投身于自然保护事业。)”可知，我们可以从Xiao Tai的未来计划中推断出他希望有更多人参与园艺维护工作。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“What does it take to bring nature back into the city? For Shanghai high school senior Xiao Tai, the answer lies in a 115-square-meter eco-garden within a residential community in Hongkou District. Over the past eight months, the 17-year-old created a habitat with urban wildlife.( 要让自然重新回到城市，需要怎样的努力？对于上海一名高三学生Xiao Tai来说，答案就藏在虹口区一个住宅社区内的一座115平方米的生态花园里。在过去八个月中，这位17岁的少年打造了一个拥有城市野生动物的栖息地。)”和全文内容可知，全文围绕上海高中生Xiao Tai展开，讲述他打造社区生态花园、为城市野生动物构建栖息地的起因、过程与规划，核心主旨是“一名高中生如何在城市中打造生态花园”。 C There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position, or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 41. People who are unhappy . A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things 42. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “ “. A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life 43. We can conclude from the passage that . A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons 44. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should . A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes 45. In this passage, the writer mainly . A. describes two types of people in our 1ife who have negative effect on others B. give some examples to laugh at the unhappy people in our society C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness D. tells people get away from unhappy people and how to be happy in life 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文。文章对快乐的和不快乐的人进行对比，他们的相同处和不同处，作者还给了不快乐的人提出了建议：如何保持快乐的心情。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可知，快乐的人会把注意力集中在事物的便利上：谈话中令人愉快的部分，精心准备的菜肴，美酒和晴朗的天气。他们享受一切愉快的事情。那些不快乐的人想的和说的都是相反的事情。由此可知，不快乐的人总能发现某些事情不快乐的一面。故选D项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.”可知，那些人得罪许多人，使自己到处惹人讨厌。由此推知，划线词组的意思是让别人不开心。故选B项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes.”可知，这种习惯可能很强烈，但当有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和品味有影响时，这种习惯可能会被治愈。由此推知，人们可以摆脱不快乐的习惯。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.”可知，如果他们不这样做，其他人最好避免与他们接触。由此推知，如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种习惯，作者建议人们应该避免与他们的任何交流。故选A项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. (这些人应该改变这种坏习惯，对令人愉快的事情感到高兴，而不是不必要地担心自己和他人。如果他们不这样做，其他人最好避免与他们接触)”可知，本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应该改变自己的习惯。由此可知，在这篇文章中，作者主要建议不快乐的人应该改掉不快乐的习惯。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master’s degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the courses seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. 46. Why did the author’s family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master’s degree in IT? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 47.

(no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________ 50. How does the author’s story inspire you? (no more than 25 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Because he/the author was a non-IT student. 47. He lifted benches and chairs every day. 48. The author met with many difficulties and setbacks. 49. Taking all challenges as his chances and believing hard work was his strength./That the author took challenges as chances and believed that hard work was his strength. 50. When facing challenges on the way to our goals, we should believe in our strength and spare no effort to overcome them. 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了印度航空航天工程师跨专业申请美国IT硕士学位，克服经济压力、语言障碍、课程难度等重重挑战，最终以高GPA毕业并获得跨国公司工作机会的励志故事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university. (我的亲戚、密友和其他人告诉我，一个非IT专业的学生很难在美国大学攻读IT硕士学位并毕业。)”可知，亲友认为他难以成功的原因是他是非IT专业学生。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. (我开始找工作，得到了一份学生助理的工作，这意味着每天要搬长椅和椅子。)”可知，作者担任学生助理时的工作内容是每天搬长椅和椅子。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的句子“At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. (起初，我遇到了太多的困难和挫折。)”以及段落中提到的经济压力、语言障碍和课程难度等内容可知，第三段主要讲述了作者遇到的诸多困难和挫折。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. (我把所有这些挑战都看作是我的机会，我相信努力是我的优势。现在，我以3.96/4的GPA毕业，并获得了一家跨国公司的工作机会，要求我毕业后立即开始工作。)”可知，作者成功的原因是将挑战视为机会，并坚信努力是自己的优势。 【50题详解】 开放性试题。根据最后一段的句子“When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. (当你有一个梦想去实现时，没有什么能阻止你。你所需要的只是勤奋和坚持。努力总会有回报。坚定的意志也是必要的。)”可知，作者的故事告诉我们，面对目标路上的挑战，要相信自己的力量，全力以赴克服困难。所以，答案可以是When facing challenges on the way to our goals, we should believe in our strength and spare no effort to overcome them. 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 51. 我们经常会面对需要做选择的情况，并且希望自己能确定哪个是正确的选择。然而，我们永远不知道哪些选择会极大地改变我们的生活。应对这种情况的最佳方式是从我们做出选择的经历以及它们带来的后果中学习。请你以The Power of Choice: A Life-Changing Decision为题，根据自己的经历写一篇英语演讲稿，要点包括： （1）在学习或生活中你经历过的一次重要选择； （2）你作出选择的过程及结果； （3）你从这件事中收获的经验教训。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The Power of Choice: A Life-Changing Decision In my life, one of the most important choices I made was deciding to join the school’s debate team.

Please read about them and tell us your impressions. Stone House, Portugal The Stone House in Portugal is really similar to the famous home of the Flintstones (a film). It is built between two rocks and its architecture has impressed some of the greatest architects. The house was attacked by some bad people. The house is pretty comfortable inside, with a fireplace and everything necessary, so it is a wonderful example of modern architecture in Stone Age style! Dancing Building, Czech Republic The Dancing House, or “Fred and Ginger”, is situated in Prague, the Czech Republic. It is an amazing masterpiece of architecture which has its own romantic charm. There is something so sweet in the way the buildings hug each other for a dance! It has become symbol of city! Crooked House, Poland The Crooked House in Poland has an extraordinary and amazing structure. It was built in 2003 with its design on the basis of some famous pictures of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. It looks as if it has been taken from a cartoon: Its design is “crooked”, but it is balanced, so it is not ugly at all, just strange! The interesting part is how builders managed to create this genius idea, but the house is a fact and everyone admires their creativity! Habitat 67, Montreal, Canada Habitat 67 in Canada is a very interesting arrangement of cubes, which looks like the building blocks that children play with. It is pretty interesting how it was designed — it looks so original, and at the same time the building is completely stable and comfortable for living! It was created as a main attraction for the World Expo 1967, where it was officially exposed! 31. Which building has a Stone Age style? A. Dancing Building. B. Stone House. C. Crooked House. D.

They are all examples of unusual architectures. B What does it take to bring nature back into the city? For Shanghai high school senior Xiao Tai, the answer lies in a 115-square-meter eco-garden within a residential community in Hongkou District. Over the past eight months, the 17-year-old created a habitat with urban wildlife. Xiao’s passion for nature began when he was a child. He immersed himself in ecological conservation through online videos, scientific databases, and hands-on activities. However, it was an encounter with a community clean-up project two years ago that shifted his focus to urban wildlife. “I noticed how even a small green space can support biodiversity,” he recalled. This inspired him to create a refuge (避难所) for local species. The eco-garden has two sections. The first, a 15-square-meter plot near an internal road, was transformed from an existing greenbelt. Last summer, Xiao obtained permission from the neighborhood committee to experiment there. He planted native nectar plants (蜜源植物) and built a Benjes hedge — a pile of branches that provides shelter for small animals and attracts insects. Because of the success of this first project, the committee allocated another 100-square-meter area for further development. This area was divided into three ecological zones. One section features artificial water containers for birds and frogs. Another area has a pond to support native species, with monitoring cameras. The third zone is used to restore native plants. In early March, a hedgehog (刺猬) was captured on camera exploring the Benjes hedge. “It can rest safely here without fear of predators (捕食性动物),” shared Xiao. Xiao also put up educational signs and warnings against improper behaviors like picking plants. Every weekend afternoon, he gives guided tours, mainly for local children. Xiao hopes to involve more people in maintaining the garden in the future. “Right now, it’s just me, but others will take over as I get busier as a Senior 3 student,” he said. As he prepares for college, he plans to study ecology and continue his conservation efforts. 36. What inspired Xiao Tai to create a refuge for local species? A. His love for nature started in his childhood. B. A community clean-up project two years ago. C. His interest in urban wildlife from online videos. D. The success of the first eco-garden project. 37. How did Xiao Tai get the permission to experiment in the first plot of the eco-garden? A. He applied for it through an online platform. B. He got it from the local government easily. C. He didn’t need permission as it was his own land. D. He asked the neighborhood committee for it last summer. 38. What is one of the features of the second area of the eco-garden? A. It has a pond to support native species with cameras. B. It is mainly used for growing non-native plants. C. It is a place for children to play on weekends. D. It is a large open space for birds to fly freely. 39. What can we infer about Xiao Tai’s future plans? A. He will give up the eco-garden as he gets busier. B. He will study something unrelated to ecology in college. C. He will stop his conservation efforts after entering college. D. He hopes more people will be involved in garden maintenance. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of urban wildlife conservation. B. The different sections of an eco-garden in Shanghai. C. How a high school student created an eco-garden in the city. D. The role of neighborhood committees in environmental projects. C There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position, or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 41. People who are unhappy . A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things 42. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “ “. A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life 43. We can conclude from the passage that . A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons 44. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should .

I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master’s degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the courses seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. 46.
