The Vertical Forest Gallery — Singapore This eight-story gallery looks like a living tower. The building uses recycled wood and self-cleaning glass, while rainwater is collected to water the plants. Inside, the main exhibit, “Rainforest Dreams,” features large-scale light projections of endangered animals combined with real preserved leaves and soil samples. Visitors can also step into a sound room to enjoy bird calls from Borneo. Opening Hours: 10:00 — 19:00. Entry: $15. The Silk Road Echo — Samarkand, Uzbekistan Housed in a beautifully restored 15th-century caravanserai, this museum brings ancient trade routes to life. The highlight is a 3D interactive map showing how silk, spices, and paper travelled from China to Rome. Visitors can touch digital replicas of Sogdian coins, ceramic bowls, and a fragment of a 1,000-year-old camel bell. Opening Hours: 9:00 — 18:00 (closed Mondays). Entry: $8. The Ice Typography Museum — Helsinki, Finland Open only from December to March, this seasonal museum is rebuilt each winter using ice blocks harvested from local lakes and supported by steel frames. The exhibition, “Words in Ice”, features poems and climate messages carved into slowly melting walls — meaning the art changes daily. Visitors are given heat-sensitive gloves to trace disappearing letters. Opening Hours: 12:00 — 20:00 (closed Christmas Eve). Entry: $2. The Afro-Futurist Centre — Lagos, Nigeria Designed to look like a spaceship landing in a garden, this centre uses woven bamboo panels and recycled metal sheets.

A geography textbook. B. A travel guide. C. A science report. D. An entertainment journal. B A 13-year-old boy, Jonathan Werner, is breaking a new path when it comes to the Scout (童子军) slogan “Do a Good Turn Daily”. The boy in Troop 506 has got an unusual high rank for someone that age. Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales received a Lego set as a reward. “I really wanted that Lego set,” he says. The next year, he earned his Legos. But Troop 506 doesn’t just give out Lego sets. Under its generous reward program, scouts receive a percentage of their sales in gift cards and cash points. Inspired, Jonathan spent the next few years developing some astonishing tricks for selling. Popcorn too expensive? A simple donation would do. No cash? Credit cards were acceptable. He set up in front of local stores, working 12-hour a day. During the pandemic, he even struck a deal with a car dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees. Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021, he earned $46,193.75 in sales. He might have spent much on himself, but he had other ideas. Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind — particularly the stories his father, Steve Kolk, had told him about his own days in foster (寄养)care. “They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details. Each present must be hand-wrapped. And no kid should get just one gift. If you weren’t unwrapping at least two packages, you weren’t getting the real Christmas-morning experience that his father never had. The next year he strengthened his efforts, achieving a higher aim in sales and spending more on gifts. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.” 4. What originally motivated Jonathan to sell more popcorn? A. Making money for Lego sets. B. Being persuaded by scout kids. C. Desiring a toy he dreamed about. D. Receiving gift cards and cash points. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Challenges Jonathan met in sales. B. Help that the car dealer provided. C. Marketing strategies Jonathan used. D. The role the reward program played. 6. Why did Jonathan turn into a big spender over Christmas? A. He hoped the kids could experience a real Christmas. B. His father suggested he should pay it forward. C. He had earned enough money to spend on gifts. D. A scout should do this during popcorn closing season. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jonathan? A. Determined, caring. B. Generous, cautious. C. Confident, economical. D. Modest, optimistic. C When facing an enemy, animals generally tend to fight, flee or simply stop moving. But baby caterpillars (毛毛虫) do something else completely: they vibrate (振动). Newly-born caterpillars, very tiny, live and feed alone on the very tips of leaves. In a recent study, scientists found that the caterpillars are rather protective of their little habitat. If another caterpillar moves into their territory (领地), these tiny creatures start wildly shaking their heads and bodies against the leaf. The behaviors signal that their leaf tip is off-limits to an unexpected visitor. This research “takes me into how complex the sensory world of even a tiny creature is — a world that humans are just not aware of,” says Jayne E. Yack, an author of the new study. The scientists used close-up videos and an instrument that could pick up a leaf’s vibrations without touching it to explore the caterpillars’ shaky world. “For such small caterpillars, their vibrations are like lion roars,” Yack says. “You have to take the headphones off your ears because they’re so loud.” The flexible leaf tip may also increase the sound, she adds. These wild vibrations could be a bluff (虚张声势); some spiders make similar moves. “It’s a distinct possibility that they’re copying a spider to prevent somebody else from taking over their precious leaf tip,” Yack says. Like singing birds, “these caterpillars are also declaring ownership of their territories and competing with enemies — in this case by sending vibrations through the leaf surface rather than the air,” says Andrew Mason, who studies animal communication and was not involved in the study. “This study gives us a window onto this otherwise undetectable world.” 8. What does the underlined word “off-limits” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Relevant. B. Forbidden. C. Limited. D. Accessible. 9. What can we learn about caterpillars from paragraph 3? A. They are too small to track. B. They vibrate in various ways. C. Their vibrations are very powerful. D. Their world is simpler than expected. 10. What might be the purpose of caterpillars copying spiders? A. To attract partners. B. To make traps. C. To protect territories. D. To attack enemies. 11. What does Andrew Mason think of the study? A. Breakthrough. B. One-sided. C. Risky. D. Typical. D Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today? “The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fuelling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead. A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fuelling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. “Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fuelling time or heavy loads. The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. 12. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today? A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel. C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure. 13. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Pessimistic. D. Indifferent. 14. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage? A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles. B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fuelling time. C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics. D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars? C. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fuelling Station? It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. ____16____ When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. ____17____ Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. ____18____ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. ____19____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. ____20____ Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A. Higher education has achieved its true potential. B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 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。 We were three days into a 27-day journey through eastern Nepal’s forests, walking through low clouds and constant rain. “Are we on the right path?” I asked my guide Raj.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 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。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026-下学年高一年级7月期末考 英语试卷 卷面分数：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

He set up in front of local stores, working 12-hour a day. During the pandemic, he even struck a deal with a car dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees. Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021, he earned $46,193.75 in sales. He might have spent much on himself, but he had other ideas. Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind — particularly the stories his father, Steve Kolk, had told him about his own days in foster (寄养)care. “They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details. Each present must be hand-wrapped. And no kid should get just one gift. If you weren’t unwrapping at least two packages, you weren’t getting the real Christmas-morning experience that his father never had. The next year he strengthened his efforts, achieving a higher aim in sales and spending more on gifts. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.” 4. What originally motivated Jonathan to sell more popcorn? A. Making money for Lego sets. B. Being persuaded by scout kids. C. Desiring a toy he dreamed about. D. Receiving gift cards and cash points. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Challenges Jonathan met in sales. B. Help that the car dealer provided. C. Marketing strategies Jonathan used. D. The role the reward program played. 6. Why did Jonathan turn into a big spender over Christmas? A. He hoped the kids could experience a real Christmas. B. His father suggested he should pay it forward. C. He had earned enough money to spend on gifts. D. A scout should do this during popcorn closing season. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jonathan? A. Determined, caring. B. Generous, cautious. C. Confident, economical. D. Modest, optimistic. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是506部队的童子军Scout Jonathan通过卖爆米花来筹集资金给孩子们买圣诞礼物的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales received a Lego set as a reward. “I really wanted that Lego set,” he says.(像许多部队一样，506部队每年秋天都会出售爆米花来筹集资金。2019年，乔纳森看到销售额达到或超过1800美元的孩子们得到了一套乐高积木作为奖励。“我真的很想要那套乐高积木，”他说。)”可知最初促使Jonathan卖出更多爆米花的原因是他想要一个他梦想中的乐高玩具。故选C项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“He set up in front of local stores, working 12-hour a day. During the pandemic, he even struck a deal with a car dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.(他在当地商店门口摆摊，每天工作12个小时。在疫情期间，他甚至与一家汽车经销商达成了一项协议：在他所有的销售努力中，如果老板给他所有的员工买爆米花，他就会戴上印有公司标志的口罩。)”可知本段主要讲的是Jonathan是运用哪些方法来卖爆米花的，即Jonathan所使用的营销策略。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details. Each present must be hand-wrapped. And no kid should get just one gift.(“他们没有过真正的圣诞节，”Jonathan说。有了5000美元，他可以给很多孩子带来圣诞节。他从销售大户变成了花钱大户，根据孩子们的个人信息亲手为他们挑选价值5000美元的礼物。每件礼物都必须手工包装。每个孩子都不应该只得到一份礼物。)”可知因为很多孩子没有过真正的圣诞节，所以为了让他们都有一个真正意义上的圣诞节，Jonathan从销售大户变成了花钱大户，花5000元给这些孩子们买礼物。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He set up in front of local stores, working 12-hour a day.(他在当地商店门口摆摊，每天工作12个小时。)”以及倒数第二段“He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details. Each present must be hand-wrapped. And no kid should get just one gift. If you weren’t unwrapping at least two packages, you weren’t getting the real Christmas-morning experience that his father never had.(他从销售大户变成了花钱大户，根据孩子们的个人信息亲手为他们挑选价值5000美元的礼物。每件礼物都必须手工包装。每个孩子都不应该只得到一份礼物。如果你没有打开至少两个包裹，你就没有得到他父亲从未有过的真正的圣诞节早晨体验。)”以及最后一段“The next year he strengthened his efforts, achieving a higher aim in sales and spending more on gifts. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.”(第二年，他加大了努力，实现了更高的销售目标，并在礼物上花了更多的钱。“我让那些孩子们在圣诞节里感到快乐的感觉真得让我很开心。”他说，)”以及文章其他段落的内容可知Jonathan由最初的仅仅为了给自己买想要的玩具而去卖出更多的爆米花到最终加大努力实现更高销售目标并花大钱给没有过圣诞节的孩子们买圣诞礼物，所有这些都说明他是一个有决心和爱心的人。故选A项。 C When facing an enemy, animals generally tend to fight, flee or simply stop moving. But baby caterpillars (毛毛虫) do something else completely: they vibrate (振动). Newly-born caterpillars, very tiny, live and feed alone on the very tips of leaves. In a recent study, scientists found that the caterpillars are rather protective of their little habitat. If another caterpillar moves into their territory (领地), these tiny creatures start wildly shaking their heads and bodies against the leaf. The behaviors signal that their leaf tip is off-limits to an unexpected visitor. This research “takes me into how complex the sensory world of even a tiny creature is — a world that humans are just not aware of,” says Jayne E. Yack, an author of the new study. The scientists used close-up videos and an instrument that could pick up a leaf’s vibrations without touching it to explore the caterpillars’ shaky world. “For such small caterpillars, their vibrations are like lion roars,” Yack says. “You have to take the headphones off your ears because they’re so loud.” The flexible leaf tip may also increase the sound, she adds. These wild vibrations could be a bluff (虚张声势); some spiders make similar moves. “It’s a distinct possibility that they’re copying a spider to prevent somebody else from taking over their precious leaf tip,” Yack says. Like singing birds, “these caterpillars are also declaring ownership of their territories and competing with enemies — in this case by sending vibrations through the leaf surface rather than the air,” says Andrew Mason, who studies animal communication and was not involved in the study. “This study gives us a window onto this otherwise undetectable world.” 8. What does the underlined word “off-limits” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Relevant. B. Forbidden. C. Limited. D. Accessible. 9. What can we learn about caterpillars from paragraph 3? A. They are too small to track. B. They vibrate in various ways. C. Their vibrations are very powerful. D. Their world is simpler than expected. 10. What might be the purpose of caterpillars copying spiders? A. To attract partners. B. To make traps. C. To protect territories. D. To attack enemies. 11. What does Andrew Mason think of the study? A. Breakthrough. B. One-sided. C. Risky. D. Typical. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，新生毛毛虫会通过强烈振动保护叶尖领地，可能模仿蜘蛛，这为了解其感知世界提供了新视角。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“If another caterpillar moves into their territory (领地), these tiny creatures start wildly shaking their heads and bodies against the leaf. The behaviors signal that their leaf tip is off-limits to an unexpected visitor.(如果另一只毛毛虫进入它们的领地，这些小家伙就会对着叶子疯狂地摇头晃身。这些行为表明，它们的叶尖对不速之客是off-limits。)”和最后一段“these caterpillars are also declaring ownership of their territories and competing with enemies — in this case by sending vibrations through the leaf surface rather than the air(这些毛毛虫也在宣布对自己领地的所有权，并与敌人竞争——在这种情况下，它们通过叶子表面而不是空气发送振动)”可猜测，新生毛毛虫会通过强烈振动宣布对自己叶尖领地的所有权，禁止其他毛毛虫进入自己的领地，off-limits意为“禁止的”，与B选项Forbidden语义一致。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“‘For such small caterpillars, their vibrations are like lion roars,’ Yack says. ‘You have to take the headphones off your ears because they’re so loud.’(亚克说：‘对于这么小的毛毛虫来说，它们的振动就像狮子的吼叫。你必须摘下耳机，因为声音太大了。’)”可知，毛毛虫的振动非常强烈。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It’s a distinct possibility that they’re copying a spider to prevent somebody else from taking over their precious leaf tip,’ Yack says.(亚克说：‘它们很有可能在模仿蜘蛛，以防止其他生物占据它们宝贵的叶尖。’)”可知，毛毛虫模仿蜘蛛的目的是保护领地。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Andrew Mason所说“This study gives us a window onto this otherwise undetectable world.(这项研究为我们打开了一扇窗，让我们得以了解这个原本无法察觉的世界。)”可知，他认为这项研究具有突破性。故选A项。 D Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today? “The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fuelling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead. A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fuelling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. “Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fuelling time or heavy loads. The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. 12. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today? A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel. C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure. 13. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Pessimistic. D. Indifferent. 14. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage? A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles. B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fuelling time. C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics. D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars? C. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fuelling Station? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了氢燃料电池汽车虽已量产，但因成本高、加氢设施稀缺在美国十分少见。专家认为短期难普及，不过它适配重型运输，地缘风险也会让其未来具备发展价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development.(想要大规模普及氢燃料汽车，既要降低成本，还需投入巨额资金完善配套基础设施。)”可知，如今在美国的道路上很少见到氢能源汽车是因为成本高昂且基础设施不足。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev.(“明年不会有任何改变，或者至少在接下来的五年内不会，但氢能源汽车的发展前景更加光明，”帕尔采夫说)”可知，谢尔盖·帕尔采夫对未来氢能源汽车充满希望。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. (目前在美国等地区氢能源乘用车的不切实际应用，并不能成为“放弃”氢燃料电池技术的理由。帕尔采夫警告称：“未来我们可能出于其他许多原因需要它。”他指出，地缘政治问题可能导致电池原材料供应受阻，从而使氢能源汽车突然在经济上更具可行性)”可知，因地缘政治可能带来的问题，使氢燃料电池技术具有可行性。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today?( 氢燃料电池汽车不仅仅是科幻小说或离奇实验的产物。像丰田Mirai和现代Nexo这样的氢能源汽车已经出现在路上，而氢燃料电池技术也在不断发展，并获得了数亿美元的联邦科研支持。那么，为什么如今美国道路上的氢能源汽车几乎不存在呢？)”结合文章主要说明了氢燃料电池汽车虽已量产，但因成本高、加氢设施稀缺在美国十分少见。专家认为短期难普及，不过它适配重型运输，地缘风险也会让其未来具备发展价值。可知，C选项“氢能车辆：艰难但充满希望”最符合文章标题。 It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college.

Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. ____19____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. ____20____ Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A. Higher education has achieved its true potential. B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择高校提供了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.(对于美国的学生和他们的家人来说，这是一年中既快乐又紧张的时刻，因为他们要决定去哪里上大学。家庭经常求助于排名系统来帮助做决定。)”可知，美国的学生和家人们在决定去哪儿上大学时，经常求助于排名系统。而根据下文第三段“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. (最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”可推断出，本文主要讲述的是排名方面出现的问题。选项D“However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.(然而，排名忽略了一个关键因素：教学质量。)”延续上文内容，指出大学排名存在的问题；而根据下文内容也可以推断，排名中存在的问题是教学质量被忽略。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.(作为一名研究高等教育的学者，当我与一些家庭交谈时，他们常常惊讶地发现，优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名。)”可知，大学排名中优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名让人们觉得很惊讶。选项F“They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.(更让他们惊讶的是，大学竟然低估了教学的价值。)”延续上文内容，指的都是大学排名忽略教学质量。其中“more surprised”和上文的“surprised”保持一致。故选F。 【18题详解】 空前内容“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.(最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”以及空后内容“The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.(考虑到高质量教学与学生成功之间的联系，排名中没有优秀教学令人惊讶。优质教学是衡量大学成绩的最重要因素之一。)”讲述的都是大学排名中没有考虑到教学。选项G“In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.(事实上，大学经常把重点从教学转移到其他排名因素上。)”与上下文内容相一致，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据空前内容“Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding.(然而，排名只是高等教育中对教学重视程度较低的一个原因。管理者通常不会将卓越的教学视为增加入学率或资金的一种方式。)”可知，上文分析了教学不被纳入排名的原因，该空应该讲其后果。选项B“Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.(因此，它在招聘或晋升中不受重视。)”是上文内容的延续，正因为管理人员通常不把卓越的教学视为增加入学率或增加资金的一种方式，所以教学在招聘和晋升中不受重视。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据下文内容“Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.(尽管如此，在拥有高质量教学的学校获得更多资源、更高排名和增加入学人数之前，不会有太大变化。从长远来看，大学、学校排名组织和其他机构应该努力使教学成为使命的一个有价值的核心部分。)”可知，此处算是站在大学的角度，提出如何把教学当成他们的首要核心任务。根据“Nevertheless”可知，空处内容和下文内容存在转折关系。选项E“Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.(在最近，努力改进教学水平的现象已经出现了。)”与下文形成转折，旨在说明，促使教学成为核心任务的艰巨性和重要性。故选E。 【点睛】 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。 We were three days into a 27-day journey through eastern Nepal’s forests, walking through low clouds and constant rain. “Are we on the right path?” I asked my guide Raj.

I strongly disagree that schools should cut art and music courses to increase academic study time. For one thing, art classes help us relieve huge study pressure, refreshing our minds for further learning. For another, arts cultivate creativity and imagination, which can actually improve our academic performance instead of holding us back. Besides, a well-rounded education requires both academic knowledge and artistic quality. Losing art courses will make our school life boring and unbalanced. In short, arts lessons are necessary and should never be sacrificed for grades. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以李华的身份向校英文报写一篇文章投稿，就“是否缩减艺术课时，增加文化课时以提高高考成绩”发表观点并说明自己的理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 反对：disagree→oppose 压力：pressure→tension 巨大的：huge→immense 提高：improve→enhance 2. 句式拓展 并列句变复合句 原句：In short, arts lessons are necessary and should never be sacrificed for grades. 拓展句：In short, arts lessons, which are necessary for a balanced education, should never be sacrificed for grades. 【点睛】【高分句型1】For one thing, art classes help us relieve huge study pressure, refreshing our minds for further learning.

As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses. Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike. Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 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。 Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. “Ms. White, these are for you,” he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. “Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay.” Tears welled up in Ms. White’s eyes. “Oh, Jack! You shouldn’t have walked such a long way just for this!” she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune! Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, “Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.” The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man’s extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述外卖骑手Jack在11月的一个寒冷夜晚，赖以谋生的二手电动车被盗，陷入绝望；但他仍牢记未完成的订单，心怀愧疚；在得到顾客White女士谅解后，他步行数公里，自费送上苹果与热奶茶赔礼道歉，用行动坚守诚信与责任的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “终于，Jack气喘吁吁地赶到了White女士家门口，按响了门铃。” 可知，第一段可描写Jack见到 White女士后的场景，包括他疲惫的状态、送上礼物与真诚道歉，以及White女士的惊讶与感动。 ②由第二段首句内容 “White女士被Jack的举动深深打动，决定当晚在网上分享这个故事。” 可知，第二段可描写故事发布到网上后引发的热烈反响，以及Jack最终获得公司帮助、丢失的电动车被找回的圆满结局。 2.续写线索：电动车被盗→心怀愧疚致歉→顾客谅解→步行送赔礼→顾客深受感动→网络分享走红→获得公司奖励与帮助→丢失车辆找回 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：reveal/show/display ②走红：go viral/spread widely/become popular ③定位，找到：locate/find/discover/track down 情绪类 ①由衷的同情：heartfelt sympathy/sincere concern/genuine pity ②疲惫不堪的：exhausted/tired out/worn-out/fatigued 【点睛】[高分句型1] The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. (运用了现在分词revealing作状语，whose引导的定语从句和as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句的省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
