I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands trembled slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 4. Why did the author want to get home quickly? A. She was tired after a day of work. B. She was eager to meet her grandson. C. She didn’t like shopping at that store. D. She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class. 5. What made the old man choose to put the cookies back? A. His own preference. B. Lack of money. C. High price of the cookies. D.

We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin (旋转) so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra (光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 8. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It ignores the special visual effects. B. It goes against the established facts. C. It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 9. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Unlikely. B. Uncommon. C. Unavoidable. D. Unimportant. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The formation of asteroid families. B. The definition of orbital elements. C. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D. The naming rule of asteroid groups. 11. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its range needs to be expanded. D. Its value can’t be overstated. Every year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, millions of Chinese families gather to celebrate the Lantern Festival. They light lanterns, eat sweet rice dumplings, and solve riddles written on lanterns. But beyond the joy and delicious food, the festival carries a deeper meaning that has evolved over centuries. The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Historically, it was a time when people prayed for good harvests and family unity. In ancient China, young people were not free to go out on most days, but on this night, they were allowed to walk the streets, lighting lanterns and meeting others. For this reason, the festival was sometimes called “Chinese Valentine’s Day”. However, like many traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival has changed in modern times. Today, many young Chinese celebrate it by watching lantern shows on social media rather than going out. Some cities have replaced traditional paper lanterns with electric ones for safety reasons. The practice of solving riddles has also moved online, with people competing in mobile apps instead of gathering in town squares. These changes have raised questions among cultural historians. Some worry that the festival is losing its original meaning. “When traditions are simplified or digitized, the social bonds they create weaken,” says Professor Li Wei, a folk culture expert. “The Lantern Festival was never just about lanterns. It was about people coming together.” Yet others see the changes as a natural part of cultural evolution. “No culture stays the same forever,” argues historian Zhang Mei. “The fact that young people still care about the Lantern Festival, even if they celebrate it on their phones, shows that the tradition is alive.” She points out that new technologies can actually help spread traditional culture to a wider audience. Despite the debate, one thing remains clear: the Lantern Festival continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. Whether it is celebrated with paper lanterns on a crowded street or through a screen at home, the spirit of reunion and hope for a bright future remains unchanged. 12. What was one historical function of the Lantern Festival mentioned in the passage? A. It marked the beginning of the harvest season. B. It gave young people a rare chance to go out. C. It was a time for family members to travel. D. It served as a competition for lantern makers. 13. How do many young Chinese celebrate the Lantern Festival today according to the passage? A. By traveling to their hometowns. B. By making sweet rice dumplings at home. C. By watching lantern shows on social media. D. By lighting paper lanterns in town squares. 14. What is Zhang Mei’s attitude toward the modern way of celebrating the festival? A. Worried. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Objective. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Lantern Festival: A Tradition in Change B. How to Celebrate the Lantern Festival Online C. The History of Chinese Valentine’s Day D. Why Young People No Longer Like Traditional Festivals 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 How to Make Friends Friends are so wonderful because they bring laughter, share adventures and comfort you in hard times.____16____ Fortunately, once you know where to look and how to put yourself out there, making new friends doesn’t have to be hard.

Every time she opened her mouth, people would stare at her mouth. She had heard the whispers — “like a frog” — and learned to keep quiet, feeling extremely bad about her appearance. She spent her days hiding in corners: the back of the classroom, the farthest table in the library, the bench (长椅) behind the gym. She carried a book everywhere, holding it close like a shelter. But it was not a textbook. It was field guides, filled with leaves and flowers, their names and secrets. She knew every plant around the school, though no one knew she did. One afternoon in biology class, Ms Taylor announced a project. Each student had to collect different plants, press them, and put them on paper with descriptions. Her classmates were not happy about it. Tessa said nothing, but something woke up inside her quiet heart. After school, she walked to the woods behind the football field, walking slowly with her eyes on the ground. She found a lovely branch of yarrow (蓍草), a heart-shaped violet leaf, and a soft lamb’s ear leaf, picking each one carefully. By the playground, she discovered a tiny plot of moss, no bigger than her finger. On her way back, she picked a maple leaf still holding its autumn red. Back home, she pressed them between the pages of an old dictionary. Three days later, she took them out, finding them flat and perfect. She arranged them on a white paper, leaving space for each one. Then she began to write. Her handwriting was small and steady, each letter formed with care. Under each plant, she put the common name, the scientific name, where she found it, and a small detail only she would have noticed. She finished late at night. The next morning, she slipped her work into all students’ homework, saying nothing. She returned to her seat, opening a book as usual. She expected nothing. She never did. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But when the teacher walked into the classroom, she was holding Tessa’s paper. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The students’ reaction gave her a great deal of confidence. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 曲沃二中2025-2026学年下学期高一期末考试 英语试题 （全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Moreover, the city's traditional snacks, like roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), are truly delicious. You can also explore the ancient city walls, which provide a unique view of the modern city while experiencing its rich heritage. I'm sure you'll have an unforgettable trip in Xi'an. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: But when the teacher walked into the classroom, she was holding Tessa’s paper. She held it up for everyone to see, a big smile on her face. “Look at this wonderful work!” she said loudly. “Tessa knew every plant’s name, even the smallest details. This is amazing!” All the students leaned forward, their eyes wide with surprise. Then someone started clapping. Soon the whole class joined in, their hands coming together. Tessa felt her face burning, her eyes fixed on her desk. The students’ reaction gave her a great deal of confidence. For the first time, she felt truly seen — not for her mouth, but for what she knew and could do. After that day, she began to change. She raised her hand in class, her voice shaking at first but growing stronger. She talked to her classmates during breaks, finding them kind and curious. More of her good sides came out, surprising everyone, including herself. Slowly, she came to understand that a person’s worth cannot be judged by appearance alone. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
