Some of my favorite childhood memories involve me climbing into my mother’s lap, a big colorful book spread out before us, enjoying the sound of her voice reading a story aloud. I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to have parents who valued the importance of reading books to their kids. It wasn’t until I started reading books to my own kids that I began to appreciate just how influential picture books can be. Some picture books give our kids reasons to laugh out loud. Others empower their imaginations with fantastical stories and bright, detailed artwork. Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe. A few nights ago, my oldest child, Elias — he’s eight — decided that he was going to read a picture book to his siblings (弟弟妹妹), 5-year-old Adeline and 2-year-old Ezra. Sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between two curious kindergartners, he opened the book with a happy tone, started reading. He didn’t get two pages into the story before Ezra started pointing at various spots on the pages and saying, “dog” or “cat” or “baby.” At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise, but there were just too many dogs in the story for him to keep doing it. And then, on three occasions, Adeline heard a word or phrase and broke in, “What does that mean?” Elias explained to the best of his ability, which seemed to satisfy Adeline. Though Elias did finish the story, by the end, he was speed reading. Adeline was annoyed because her fourth question was ignored, and Ezra was doing his best to tear the corners off the pages of the book, still saying “dog, dog, dog.” But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book. All of them were enjoying the pleasure of reading at that moment, a moment that only happened because Elias chose to read a picture book. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother? A. Serious-minded. B. Child-centered. C. Reading-focused. D. Bookish-looking. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning picture books? A. Their artistic potential. B. Their positive impacts. C. Their imaginative content. D. Their educational purposes. 6. How did Elias respond to Ezra’s interruptions at first? A. He got annoyed. B. He ignored them. C. He sped up reading. D. He showed approval. 7. What did the author find most meaningful about the picture book? A. Her children’s playful chaos. B. The story’s entertaining scenes. C. Elias’s role as a patient storyteller. D. The kids’ group interaction with the book. C One day, you went to watch a film but soon found it unappealing. Instead of leaving, you continued your watching because you had already paid for the ticket, even though leaving would free up your time for something more enjoyable. This reflects what’s known as sunk cost bias (偏差) — when individuals continue investing in a decision based on earlier investments rather than the decision’s current or future value. The term “sunk cost” refers to costs that have already been paid and cannot be recovered. Economically, these costs should not influence ongoing decision-making. But psychologically, people find it challenging to disregard these costs, leading to unreasonable persistence (坚持). Several psychological factors contribute to sunk cost bias. The primary factor is the desire to avoid waste. Humans hate wastefulness, and abandoning an investment feels like wasting resources. This can lead us to stick with decisions that no longer serve our best interests, since the thought of losing the initial investment can be more painful than the potential benefits of moving on. This bias can impact various aspects. A company might continue funding a product development project despite clear signs that it will not be successful, simply because significant resources have already been invested. In personal life, if you are staying in an unsatisfying relationship, the reasonable choice might be to end the relationship, yet the bias can make it difficult to take this step. Overcoming sunk cost bias requires conscious (有意识的) efforts. One effective strategy is to adopt a forward-looking view. Ask yourself whether the decision makes sense based on current circumstances and future prospects, ignoring past investments. Setting predefined criteria is also of help. Establish clear goals and outcomes that must be met to continue an investment. If these criteria are not met, it becomes easier to disengage without being impacted by sunk costs. Remember, the resources invested in the past are gone; what matters is making decisions that will benefit you moving forward. Developing this mindset can significantly improve your ability to make sound, unbiased decisions. 8. What does the example in paragraph 1 suggest about sunk cost bias? A. It makes cost outweigh time. B. It reduces people’s interest quickly. C. It keeps people in unwise choices. D. It leads to regret about past choices. 9. What traps people in sunk cost bias? A. Discomfort with investment losses. B. Desire to reduce investment costs. C. Hesitation about further investment. D. Anticipation for investment returns. 10. What do the two cases in paragraph 4 show about sunk cost bias? A. Its wide influence. B. Its emotional roots. C. Its commercial risks. D. Its lasting nature. 11. What is recommended to avoid sunk cost bias? A. Adjusting predefined criteria. B. Admitting unavoidable failure. C. Prioritizing potential benefits. D. Following unbiased decisions. D Good news for tea lovers: In a new study, Northwestern University researchers demonstrated that tea naturally absorbs (吸附) heavy metals, effectively removing dangerous matter from drinks. To conduct the study, the team explored how different types of tea, tea bags and making methods affect heavy metal absorption. They created water solutions with known amounts of lead and other metals, and then heated the solutions to just below boiling temperature. Next, they added different tea leaves, which were steeped for various time periods — from mere seconds to 24 hours. After steeping, the team measured how much of the metal content remained in the water. After multiple experiments, the team identified several trends. They discovered that tea type played minor roles in absorbing heavy metals, but the bag mattered. After testing different types of bags without tea inside, the researchers found cotton and nylon (尼龙) bags only absorbed very small amounts of the heavy metals. The cellulose bags, however, worked incredibly well. The key to a successful adsorptive material is a high surface area. The more area for metal to stick to, the better. Cellulose, which is a biodegradable natural material, has a higher surface area than other materials. Out of all the experiments, one factor prevailed over the others — steeping time. The longer the steeping time, the more heavy metals were absorbed. “Steeping tea leaves for longer periods or even overnight — like iced tea — will remove most of the metal or maybe even close to all of the metal in the water,” said Benjamin Shindel, the study’s first author. Although the results depend on several factors, that tea preparation removes an amount of lead from water should be significant from a public health angle. “Across a population, if people drink an extra cup of tea per day, maybe over time we’d see declines in illnesses that are closely correlated with exposure to heavy metals,” Shindel said. “Or it could help explain why populations that drink more tea may have lower rates of heart disease than populations that have lower tea consumption.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. Tea’s taste-enhancing properties. B. Tea’s metal-removal function. C. The best way to make tea. D. The healthiest type of tea. 13. What made the cellulose bags work better? A. Their large surface area. B. Their strong heat resistance. C. Their biodegradable feature. D. Their chemical stability. 14. What does the underlined part “prevailed over” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Followed. B. Outperformed. C. Worked with. D. Depended on. 15. What can be inferred from Shindel’s words in the last paragraph? A. Tea consumption should be encouraged. B. Tea’s health benefits vary by population. C. Tea may be used to treat heart disease. D. Tea drinkers usually have a long life. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Don’t let a lack of space discourage you from a homegrown vegetable harvest this season.

One day, Marly and Joe were walking home from the forest at sunset. Suddenly, Joe grasped Marly’s arm and whispered, “Look!” Up on one of the hummocks (小丘) stood a red fox. It was looking down the hill. The sun was down, and a strange light was over everything, so the fox seemed to shine all over. Marly and Joe didn’t move. Neither did the fox. Finally, without a sound, like a colored shadow, the fox slipped away into the valley. Joe thought the fox had a den (洞穴) nearby and went to look. Soon, he returned and led Marly to a high spot. Pointing, he showed her five little red foxes playing, all with black noses and sharp black ears. They watched until the foxes disappeared from sight. Back home, their neighbors Mr. Chris and Fritz were visiting. Marly burst in, excited to share what they saw, but Joe stopped her mid-sentence. Fritz was interested. “Foxes? If I go before sunrise, I can grab the whole bunch.” Marly’s eyes widened. “Fritz, you don’t mean you want to catch those five little foxes, do you?” she said. “Five little ones?” Mr. Chris said. “No wonder my chickens keep disappearing!” He turned to Joe. “You show Fritz the place in the morning. Maybe you can shoot them.” “Okay,” Joe said. Marly turned to Joe in disbelief. That night, unable to sleep, she went to Joe’s room and found Joe sitting in the dark. “I need to scare them away,” he said, thinking aloud. “I should make noise. Foxes always have a front door and a back door. If I built a little fire near one, I could smoke them out the other. Then I can shine a flashlight to frighten them.” Then he asked Marly to help by holding the flashlight. Marly gladly agreed. She had put the foxes in danger, but now she could help protect them. After their parents were asleep, the two quietly went out with flashlights, a lighter and a cloth. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Marly followed closely behind Joe in the dark and they finally reached the den.  ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Joe’s warning about keeping silent was still in Marly’s mind as Fritz’s truck arrived the next morning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高一期末质量检测 英语 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，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What does the woman usually do on Mother's Day?

Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe.(一些绘本让孩子开怀大笑；另一些绘本用奇幻故事和精美细致的画面激发孩子想象力；还有一些绘本让孩子敢于梦想、创造和想象)”可知，第二段主要介绍绘本给孩子带来的各类积极影响。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise.(起初，伊莱亚斯点头、夸赞埃兹拉，认可他识别事物的能力)”可知，伊莱亚斯起初对埃兹拉的打断表示认可、赞许。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book.(尽管这一刻最后变得一片混乱，但看着三个孩子一同沉浸在同一本书中，仍是一段美好的体验)”可知，作者认为最有意义的是孩子们共同参与、互动共读绘本的过程。 C One day, you went to watch a film but soon found it unappealing. Instead of leaving, you continued your watching because you had already paid for the ticket, even though leaving would free up your time for something more enjoyable. This reflects what’s known as sunk cost bias (偏差) — when individuals continue investing in a decision based on earlier investments rather than the decision’s current or future value. The term “sunk cost” refers to costs that have already been paid and cannot be recovered. Economically, these costs should not influence ongoing decision-making. But psychologically, people find it challenging to disregard these costs, leading to unreasonable persistence (坚持). Several psychological factors contribute to sunk cost bias. The primary factor is the desire to avoid waste. Humans hate wastefulness, and abandoning an investment feels like wasting resources. This can lead us to stick with decisions that no longer serve our best interests, since the thought of losing the initial investment can be more painful than the potential benefits of moving on. This bias can impact various aspects. A company might continue funding a product development project despite clear signs that it will not be successful, simply because significant resources have already been invested. In personal life, if you are staying in an unsatisfying relationship, the reasonable choice might be to end the relationship, yet the bias can make it difficult to take this step. Overcoming sunk cost bias requires conscious (有意识的) efforts. One effective strategy is to adopt a forward-looking view. Ask yourself whether the decision makes sense based on current circumstances and future prospects, ignoring past investments. Setting predefined criteria is also of help. Establish clear goals and outcomes that must be met to continue an investment. If these criteria are not met, it becomes easier to disengage without being impacted by sunk costs. Remember, the resources invested in the past are gone; what matters is making decisions that will benefit you moving forward. Developing this mindset can significantly improve your ability to make sound, unbiased decisions. 8. What does the example in paragraph 1 suggest about sunk cost bias? A. It makes cost outweigh time. B. It reduces people’s interest quickly. C. It keeps people in unwise choices. D. It leads to regret about past choices. 9. What traps people in sunk cost bias? A. Discomfort with investment losses. B. Desire to reduce investment costs. C. Hesitation about further investment. D. Anticipation for investment returns. 10. What do the two cases in paragraph 4 show about sunk cost bias? A. Its wide influence. B. Its emotional roots. C. Its commercial risks. D. Its lasting nature. 11. What is recommended to avoid sunk cost bias? A. Adjusting predefined criteria. B. Admitting unavoidable failure. C. Prioritizing potential benefits. D. Following unbiased decisions. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了心理学中的沉没成本偏差，阐释其产生原因、广泛影响以及跳出该思维偏差的有效方法，倡导人们立足未来、理性决策。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This reflects what’s known as sunk cost bias (偏差) — when individuals continue investing in a decision based on earlier investments rather than the decision’s current or future value...leading to unreasonable persistence.(这就是所谓的沉没成本偏差——人们依据过往投入继续坚持某项决策，而非依据决策当下或未来的价值……进而导致不理智的坚持)”以及第一段观影事例可知，沉没成本偏差会让人固守无意义、不明智的选择。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The primary factor is the desire to avoid waste. Humans hate wastefulness, and abandoning an investment feels like wasting resources. This can lead us to stick with decisions that no longer serve our best interests, since the thought of losing the initial investment can be more painful than the potential benefits of moving on.(主要诱因是人们想要避免浪费。人类厌恶浪费的行为，放弃一项投入会让人感觉是在浪费资源。这会使我们固守不再有利的决策，因为相较于放手后的潜在收益，人们更难以接受初始投入付诸东流的失落感)”可知，人们抗拒投资损失、难以接受投入白费的心理，使人陷入沉没成本偏差。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This bias can impact various aspects. A company might continue funding a product development project despite clear signs that it will not be successful, simply because significant resources have already been invested. In personal life, if you are staying in an unsatisfying relationship, the reasonable choice might be to end the relationship, yet the bias can make it difficult to take this step.(这种偏差会影响方方面面。一家公司即便明确看到项目无法成功，仍可能继续为产品研发项目注资，只因已经投入了大量资源。在个人生活中，即便一段感情并不如意、理性选择是结束关系，这种偏差也会让人难以做出决断)”可知，文段从企业经营、个人生活两个不同领域举例，体现出沉没成本偏差的影响范围十分广泛。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“One effective strategy is to adopt a forward-looking view. Ask yourself whether the decision makes sense based on current circumstances and future prospects, ignoring past investments.(一个有效的方法是树立前瞻性视角，忽略过往投入，仅依据当下情况与未来前景判断决策是否合理)”以及最后一段“what matters is making decisions that will benefit you moving forward.(重要的是做出对未来有益的决策)”可知，规避沉没成本偏差需要立足未来、优先考量潜在收益，而非纠结过往投入。 D Good news for tea lovers: In a new study, Northwestern University researchers demonstrated that tea naturally absorbs (吸附) heavy metals, effectively removing dangerous matter from drinks. To conduct the study, the team explored how different types of tea, tea bags and making methods affect heavy metal absorption. They created water solutions with known amounts of lead and other metals, and then heated the solutions to just below boiling temperature. Next, they added different tea leaves, which were steeped for various time periods — from mere seconds to 24 hours. After steeping, the team measured how much of the metal content remained in the water. After multiple experiments, the team identified several trends. They discovered that tea type played minor roles in absorbing heavy metals, but the bag mattered. After testing different types of bags without tea inside, the researchers found cotton and nylon (尼龙) bags only absorbed very small amounts of the heavy metals. The cellulose bags, however, worked incredibly well. The key to a successful adsorptive material is a high surface area. The more area for metal to stick to, the better. Cellulose, which is a biodegradable natural material, has a higher surface area than other materials. Out of all the experiments, one factor prevailed over the others — steeping time. The longer the steeping time, the more heavy metals were absorbed. “Steeping tea leaves for longer periods or even overnight — like iced tea — will remove most of the metal or maybe even close to all of the metal in the water,” said Benjamin Shindel, the study’s first author. Although the results depend on several factors, that tea preparation removes an amount of lead from water should be significant from a public health angle. “Across a population, if people drink an extra cup of tea per day, maybe over time we’d see declines in illnesses that are closely correlated with exposure to heavy metals,” Shindel said. “Or it could help explain why populations that drink more tea may have lower rates of heart disease than populations that have lower tea consumption.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. Tea’s taste-enhancing properties. B. Tea’s metal-removal function. C. The best way to make tea. D. The healthiest type of tea. 13. What made the cellulose bags work better? A. Their large surface area. B. Their strong heat resistance. C. Their biodegradable feature. D. Their chemical stability. 14. What does the underlined part “prevailed over” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Followed. B. Outperformed. C. Worked with. D. Depended on. 15. What can be inferred from Shindel’s words in the last paragraph? A. Tea consumption should be encouraged. B. Tea’s health benefits vary by population. C. Tea may be used to treat heart disease. D. Tea drinkers usually have a long life. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了西北大学研究人员开展的一项新研究，探究了茶吸附去除饮品中重金属的功能，分析了不同因素对茶吸附重金属效果的影响，并阐述了该研究发现的公共卫生意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Good news for tea lovers: In a new study, Northwestern University researchers demonstrated that tea naturally absorbs (吸附) heavy metals, effectively removing dangerous matter from drinks.(茶叶爱好者迎来一则好消息：西北大学的研究人员在一项新研究中证实，茶叶能够天然吸附重金属，有效去除饮品中的有害物质。)”可知，这项新研究聚焦茶的除金属功能。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The key to a successful adsorptive material is a high surface area. The more area for metal to stick to, the better. Cellulose, which is a biodegradable natural material, has a higher surface area than other materials.(优质吸附材料的核心是拥有高表面积比。可供金属附着的面积越大，吸附效果就越好。纤维素作为一种可生物降解的天然材料，比其他材料的表面积更高。)”可知，纤维素茶包效果更好的原因是其更大的表面积。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Out of all the experiments, one factor prevailed over the others — steeping time. The longer the steeping time, the more heavy metals were absorbed.(所有实验中，有一项因素prevailed over其余条件 —— 浸泡时长。浸泡时间越久，被吸附的重金属就越多。)”可知，浸泡时间这个因素的作用远超其他因素，“prevailed over”含义为“胜过，优于”，和Outperformed含义一致。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Across a population, if people drink an extra cup of tea per day, maybe over time we’d see declines in illnesses that are closely correlated with exposure to heavy metals,” Shindel said. “Or it could help explain why populations that drink more tea may have lower rates of heart disease than populations that have lower tea consumption.”(Shindel说道：“从人群整体来看，如果人们每天多喝一杯茶，长期下来，与重金属摄入相关的疾病发病率或许会有所下降。这也或许能解释，为何饮茶量大的人群，心脏病发病率往往低于很少喝茶的人群。”)”可知，Shindel的话语暗含了应当鼓励人们饮茶的观点。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Don’t let a lack of space discourage you from a homegrown vegetable harvest this season.

One day, Marly and Joe were walking home from the forest at sunset. Suddenly, Joe grasped Marly’s arm and whispered, “Look!” Up on one of the hummocks (小丘) stood a red fox. It was looking down the hill. The sun was down, and a strange light was over everything, so the fox seemed to shine all over. Marly and Joe didn’t move. Neither did the fox. Finally, without a sound, like a colored shadow, the fox slipped away into the valley. Joe thought the fox had a den (洞穴) nearby and went to look. Soon, he returned and led Marly to a high spot. Pointing, he showed her five little red foxes playing, all with black noses and sharp black ears. They watched until the foxes disappeared from sight. Back home, their neighbors Mr. Chris and Fritz were visiting. Marly burst in, excited to share what they saw, but Joe stopped her mid-sentence. Fritz was interested. “Foxes? If I go before sunrise, I can grab the whole bunch.” Marly’s eyes widened. “Fritz, you don’t mean you want to catch those five little foxes, do you?” she said. “Five little ones?” Mr. Chris said. “No wonder my chickens keep disappearing!” He turned to Joe. “You show Fritz the place in the morning. Maybe you can shoot them.” “Okay,” Joe said. Marly turned to Joe in disbelief. That night, unable to sleep, she went to Joe’s room and found Joe sitting in the dark. “I need to scare them away,” he said, thinking aloud. “I should make noise. Foxes always have a front door and a back door. If I built a little fire near one, I could smoke them out the other. Then I can shine a flashlight to frighten them.” Then he asked Marly to help by holding the flashlight. Marly gladly agreed. She had put the foxes in danger, but now she could help protect them. After their parents were asleep, the two quietly went out with flashlights, a lighter and a cloth. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Marly followed closely behind Joe in the dark and they finally reached the den.  ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Joe’s warning about keeping silent was still in Marly’s mind as Fritz’s truck arrived the next morning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Marly followed closely behind Joe in the dark and they finally reached the den. Joe made a noise and lit the cloth near one door. Then they ran to a higher spot and waited. Soon, the foxes burst out of the other door, one after another. Joe suddenly turned a flashlight full on them. There was a flash of eyes — and then the foxes were gone. When the cloth burned out, they blocked both doors with rocks in case the foxes tried to return. After doing all they could, they were so tired that they could hardly walk. Back home, Joe warned Marly, “Now keep your mouth shut about this. Not a word.” Joe’s warning about keeping silent was still in Marly’s mind as Fritz’s truck arrived the next morning. Joe went downstairs with his gun, and Marly watched from the window, her heart pounding. She didn’t hear any shooting that morning! Soon she heard the truck again. Joe got out and said to Marly, “Funniest thing. We went right to that place, and there wasn’t a sign of a fox. The den was full of stuff. Fritz said he’d never seen anything like it.” Marly felt like she might burst with joy, so she began to sing. This time, she wouldn’t say a word. 【解析】 【导语】本文以玛莉与乔的山间假期经历为线索展开。姐弟黄昏偶遇红狐与五只幼狐，邻居听闻后打算捕捉幼狐，克里斯先生还想射杀它们。乔内心不忍，夜里想好驱离而非伤害狐狸的办法，约玛莉一同带上工具，趁父母熟睡外出保护幼狐。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写姐弟深夜悄悄赶到狐狸洞穴，采取措施驱散幼狐，再用石块封堵洞口保护狐狸，结束后疲惫回家，乔叮嘱玛莉严守秘密。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写次日捕狐人上门，玛莉内心紧张忐忑，二人到洞穴一无所获，捕狐人空手而归，玛莉满心欢喜守住秘密。 2.续写线索：深夜赴狐洞——点火熏狐狸——强光驱幼狐——石块封洞口——乔严令玛莉保密——悬心等待——满心欢喜 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点燃布料：light the cloth/set fire to the cloth ②窗边观望：watched from the window /observe by the window 情绪类 ①疲惫的：tired/exhausted/worn out ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】After doing all they could, they were so tired that they could hardly walk.
