Shoppers can easily pick strawberries or apples. For farmers, however, the choice is far harder. They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even. Farming is full of uncertainties, according to mathematician Estelle Basor. Farmers face unpredictable weather, harmful pests, and the economic rule of supply and demand. For instance, overplanting strawberries can lower prices, leaving farmers unable to cover growing costs. Basor grew up in California’s Pajaro Valley, a key agricultural region. As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water. California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops. The team collected data on water use, prices and market demand. Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm. Results showed raspberries, needing less water, were more profitable than strawberries. They cooperate with local growers to gather real data on crop sales. Such field information improves their model so it balances water use and market need for fruits grown in Pajaro Valley. The model has received positive feedback from local farmers. It aims to help farmers nationwide deal with water shortages. Thanks to Basor’s efforts, science is offering a practical way for farmers to balance water use and income. 4. What does the underlined phrase “break even” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Win great fame. B. Avoid losing money. C. Keep crop quality. D. Increase crop sales. 5. What challenge do California farmers face? A. Fierce foreign market competition. B. Declining customers’ demand. C. Insufficient water supply for crops. D. Shallow underground water. 6. How did the team help local farmers? A. By monitoring rainfall conditions. B. By offering advice on choosing crops. C. By raising crop prices for farmers. D. By teaching daily water-saving skills. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. New method for strawberry planting. B. Drought’s impact on local agriculture. C. Balancing water and profit with math. D. Approaches to raising farmers’ income. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍数学家团队利用数学优化模型，帮助加州农户兼顾节水需求与种植收益，科学解决农业种植难题。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even.(农民必须决定种植作物，同时担忧供水问题，以及能否盈利、甚至能否break even。)”可知，前文提及农民种地需要考虑赚钱，结合递进关系可推知，break even比盈利要求更低，指收支相抵、不亏不赚，也就是避免亏损。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops.(加利福尼亚供应美国百分之八十的新鲜草莓，但频繁干旱和过度抽水已经严重降低了地下水位。农民抽水的速度比雨水能够补充它的速度更快，迫使他们去考虑需水量更少的作物。)”可知，加州农民面临农作物种植供水不足的难题。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water.(作为一名数学家，她带领团队帮助农民选择合适作物、节约水资源。)”可知，该团队通过数据分析，为农户提供选种方面的专业建议，助力节水增收。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm.(团队借助计算机程序，找到了最优作物搭配方案，实现用水最少、收益最高，这套方法被称作数学优化法，并在百亩农场完成测试。)”可知，文章主要讲述数学家利用数学优化方法，帮助农民平衡农业用水消耗与种植收益，解决农业种植的不确定性难题。 C Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria (唱腔) and face painting. Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 8. How long is the history of Beijing Opera? A. One hundred years. B. Two hundred years. C. Three hundred years. D. Four hundred years. 9. Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera? A. There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera. B. Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts. C. Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms. D. Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera. 10. According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang? A. He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera. B. He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer. C. He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world. D. He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world. 11. What does “charm” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Present B. Bore C. Attract D. Cheat 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了京剧和京剧演员。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century.(有着大约200年的历史，京剧是在吸收了许多其他戏剧形式的基础上发展起来的，主要是吸收了18世纪流行于中国南方的地方戏剧“徽班”。)”可知，京剧有大约200年的历史。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics(杂技). 包括京剧在内的中国传统戏剧是一种包括对白、歌唱、舞蹈和杂技在内的娱乐形式。)”可知，京剧呈现了唱歌、跳舞和对白。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.(梅兰芳，有史以来最著名的演员之一，是第一个把京剧介绍给外国人的，并在国外进行了非常成功的巡演。)”可知，作者认为梅兰芳在传播京剧方面发挥了重要作用。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文的内容“You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.(即使你对京剧的戏剧背景一无所知，你也会被它深深吸引。)”可知，划线词后文提到你会被京剧深深吸引，故此处划线词与C项“attract(吸引)”意思相近，即你可能会被京剧吸引并对它产生兴趣。 D In recent years, the rapid evolution of AI technologies has not only brought enormous convenience to daily life but also given birth to a widespread social phenomenon: FOMO, short for the fear of missing out. The rising popularity of OpenClaw, a highly capable AI agent (智能体) designed for practical situations, has further strengthened this FOMO feeling, making it particularly common among students and office workers. OpenClaw is thought highly of for its ability to accomplish complex practical tasks rather than simply respond to questions. It helps users organize documents, process information, manage communications, and greatly improve work efficiency. As an increasing number of people share their experiences online, highlighting how OpenClaw has saved time and boosted their productivity, many others begin to feel anxious. They fear that “He who does not advance loses ground.” As a result, FOMO pushes them to spend large amounts of time learning new functions, following online courses, and joining discussion groups. Some even sink into anxiety once they fail to keep up with OpenClaw’s constant updates. Although the motivation to improve oneself is positive, uncontrolled FOMO often creates unnecessary pressure and breaks the normal balance between study and work. In fact, AI tools like OpenClaw are intended to be helpers rather than sources of pressure. It is advisable to adopt new technologies at a steady and reasonable pace. We should choose the functions that truly meet our needs instead of blindly following others’ patterns. By using AI tools reasonably and appropriately, we can enjoy their benefits without being controlled by the fear of missing out. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. Defining the concept of FOMO. B. Describing how AI causes social anxiety. C. Introducing OpenClaw and its functions. D. Presenting FOMO brought by AI agents. 13. What negative effect might OpenClaw have on some people according to paragraph 2? A. Slows down progress. B. Loses one’s advantage. C. Needs more training. D. Becomes less productive. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward FOMO phenomenon? A. Supportive. B. Intolerant. C. Concerned. D. Objective. 15. What can be inferred about AI tools from the last paragraph? A. AI tools should be adopted slowly. B. AI tools creates unnecessary pressure. C. AI tools can be used wisely without fear. D. AI tools’ functions vary from person to person. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍AI智能体引发大众错失恐惧症现象，分析了该心理带来的负面影响，并倡导人们理性、适度使用人工智能工具。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The rising popularity of OpenClaw, a highly capable AI agent (智能体) designed for practical situations, has further strengthened this FOMO feeling, making it particularly common among students and office workers.(专为实际场景打造的高性能AI智能体OpenClaw日益流行，进一步加深了这种FOMO情绪，使其在学生和上班族群体中尤为普遍。)”可知，首段主要引出AI智能体普及所带来的FOMO社会现象，点明文章话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They fear that “He who does not advance loses ground.”(他们心生焦虑，担忧不进则退，落后于人、丧失自身优势。)”可知，人们害怕他人借助人工智能提升效率、不断进步，自己停滞不前从而失去竞争优势。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Although the motivation to improve oneself is positive, uncontrolled FOMO often creates unnecessary pressure and breaks the normal balance between study and work.(虽然自我提升的动机是积极的，不受管控的FOMO常常产生不必要的压力，破坏学习与工作之间正常的平衡。)” 可知，作者认可进取心态，但担忧过度FOMO带来的负面问题，持关切、审慎的态度。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“We should choose the functions that truly meet our needs instead of blindly following others’ patterns. By using AI tools reasonably and appropriately, we can enjoy their benefits without being controlled by the fear of missing out.(我们应该选择真正满足我们需求的功能，而不是盲目追随别人的方式。合理恰当地使用人工智能工具，我们就能享受它们的好处，不被错失恐惧束缚。)”可知，人们可以理智、明智地使用人工智能工具，摆脱焦虑、收获益处。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people view setbacks as roadblocks that stop their progress, but in reality, they can be powerful fuel for growth. If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits. ____16____ You avoid reflecting on the lessons. Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn. ____17____ Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger. You let self-doubt take over. It’s natural to feel uncertain after a failure, especially when others question your abilities. For example, you spent weeks preparing for a presentation, but it didn’t go as planned. You’ve told yourself before that you’re capable of growth, but after this failure, you start to believe you’re not good enough. ____18____ Your confidence fades, but you don’t fight against these negative thoughts. You give up too easily. Without a doubt, perseverance is valuable. ____19____ Yet giving up at the first sign of difficulty robs you of the chance to build resilience (抗逆力) . Do you abandon goals when you hit a small barrier? Is “I can’t do this” your automatic response? This habit keeps you stuck in failure, rather than letting you use it as a stepping stone. ____20____ This is a subtle but harmful habit. If you compare your progress to others’ highlights, you’ll discount your own growth and lose motivation. Your struggles are a sign you’re pushing yourself, not a sign of weakness. Your unique path matters. A. You compare your progress to others’. B. You celebrate others’ achievements openly. C. You know that pushing through hardship is the right path. D. Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure. E. Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth. F. But you can use the following four ways to turn setbacks into motivation. G. Be aware of the traps that may keep you from turning setbacks into motivation. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍四种阻碍人们将挫折转化为成长动力的思维陷阱与坏习惯，阐释其危害并引导读者改正心态、借力挫折成长。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Many people view setbacks as roadblocks that stop their progress, but in reality, they can be powerful fuel for growth. If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits.(很多人把挫折视为阻碍前进的绊脚石，但实际上挫折可以成为成长的强大动力。如果你常常在受挫后停滞不前、难以继续前行，那就该审视自己的心态和习惯了。)”以及下文分段介绍的四种负面思维误区可知，文章首段提出要正视挫折、自查问题，空格处需要总领全文，引出下文所有阻碍成长的错误习惯。G选项“Be aware of the traps that may keep you from turning setbacks into motivation (警惕那些可能阻碍你将挫折转化为动力的陷阱)”承接上文审视自我心态的观点，精准引出下文四个具体的思维陷阱，起到承上启下、统领全篇的作用，逻辑紧密，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn.(挫折中暗藏经验教训，但很多人急于翻篇，不愿停下来总结、学习。)” 以及空后的“Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger.(即便如此，你是否会花时间分析问题、反思改进？如果不会，就容易重蹈覆辙、错失成长机会。)”可知，上下文构成转折关系，强调人们明知该反思却从不反思的普遍问题。D 选项“Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure (你很可能知道失败过后应该自我反思)”先点明人们普遍具备的正确认知，与后文实际不作为形成强烈反差，完美衔接转折逻辑，贴合本段“拒绝复盘反思”的中心，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“You’ve told yourself before that you’re capable of growth, but after this failure, you start to believe you’re not good enough.(你原本相信自己可以成长进步，但经历失败后，开始认为自己不够优秀。)”以及空后的“Your confidence fades, but you don’t fight against these negative thoughts.(你的自信心逐渐消退，却不会主动对抗这些消极想法。)”可知，空格处需要详细衔接自我怀疑、消极想法扎根内心的过程。E选项“Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth (你不去质疑这些消极的想法，反而把它们当成既定事实全盘接受)”详细解释了自信心消退的根本原因，承接前文自我否定的心理，呼应后文任由负面情绪蔓延的状态，逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Without a doubt, perseverance is valuable.(毫无疑问，坚持不懈、持之以恒是非常可贵的品质。)”以及空后的“Yet giving up at the first sign of difficulty robs you of the chance to build resilience (抗逆力).(然而一遇到困难就轻言放弃，会让你错失培养抗挫折能力的机会。)”可知，前后存在语义转折，前文肯定坚持的意义，后文批判轻易放弃的行为。C选项“You know that pushing through hardship is the right path (你心里清楚迎难而上、克服困难才是正确的做法)”先点明大众的正确认知，与后文错误的放弃行为形成鲜明对比，突出知行不合一的问题，贴合本段主题，符合语境。 【20题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处为段落小标题，与前文“You avoid reflecting on the lessons.”以及“You let self-doubt take over.”等小标题句式结构完全一致，均为总结错误习惯的短句。根据空后的“This is a subtle but harmful habit. If you compare your progress to others’ highlights, you’ll discount your own growth and lose motivation.(这是一种隐蔽但有害的习惯。如果你拿自己的进度和他人的高光时刻作比较，就会低估自己的成长、丧失前进动力。)”可知，本段全程围绕与人攀比的不良习惯展开论述。A选项“You compare your progress to others’. (你拿自己的成长进度和他人作比较)”句式工整统一，精准概括本段核心误区，统领整段内容，符合语境。 第三部分 英语运用 (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。 Andrew Duhe wanted to choose a ____21____ gift to celebrate his wife Jennifer’s 40th birthday, and jewelry and flowers wouldn’t just ____22____.

The wind howled wildly, tearing roofs off houses and uprooting trees. Heavy rain kept pouring down for hours, resulting in severe flooding and huge losses. Although our city was not directly hit, the strong wind and heavy rain made us share their sufferings. Unluckily, other nearby cities, however, suffered far more from the disaster. One of my most vivid memories was when I watched the evening news with my family. A reporter was broadcasting from a local stadium, which served as a temporary shelter for hurricane survivors. Thousands of homeless people crowded around him. Most were dressed in torn and muddy clothes, and worse still, many had to walk barefoot. Exhausted and heartbroken, some rested on extremely simple beds, while others could only lie on the cold hard floor, their faces full of sorrow, tiredness and hopelessness. The impact of the hurricane was worse than I expected. “Did the terrible hurricane drive them away from their homes?” I asked curiously. My mom nodded gently and sighed. “Yes, Hector. All these people are from New Orleans. The powerful storm ruined their homes and possessions. Sadly, many of them have lost everything they once owned. For the time being, the stadium works as their temporary home. It is a place for them to stay until it becomes safe enough to return to their own hometowns.” As I kept staring at the TV screen, a little boy immediately caught my eye. He was sitting alone in a quiet corner of the stadium, holding an old, dirty teddy bear tightly in his arms. His pale face was filled with fear and loneliness, as if the worn toy was his only comfort left after the disaster. I seemed to feel his deep sorrow right through the screen. Right then and there, I made up my mind to do something, with that poor little boy as my first concern. 注意： (1) 写作词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, my friends and I gathered at our volunteer club. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we entered the stadium with our gifts, I quickly spotted the shy little boy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, my friends and I gathered at our volunteer club. I shared with them the heartbreaking scene I saw from the news, especially the poor little boy holding the worn teddy bear. Unexpectedly, all of them had also watched the same report and felt deep sympathy. We soon reached an agreement to gather clothes, food and toys for them. We actively appealed to nearby students and residents around us for donations. Gradually, various donations piled up, which made us full of confidence to offer sincere help. When we entered the stadium with our gifts, I quickly spotted the shy little boy. I walked up to him gently and handed him a brand-new soft teddy bear. He stared at me in surprise before a faint smile spread across his pale face and hugged the gift tightly and gratefully. Later we went around to distribute food and daily necessities to other homeless people in need. Witnessing such warm moments, I deeply understood that a small act of kindness can bring endless warmth and firm hope to those suffering from disasters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述一场飓风重创沿海城市，无数灾民流离失所、暂住体育场。作者在新闻中看到一名抱着旧泰迪熊、孤独无助的小男孩，心生触动，决心伸出援手帮助灾区人民的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者召集俱乐部好友，讲述所见灾情，众人一同募集衣物、食物和玩具，准备援助灾民。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者在体育场找到小男孩，赠送新玩具并分发物资，最终领悟小小善意能为受灾之人带去温暖与希望。 2. 续写线索：集结伙伴——讲述灾情——募集物资——筹备援助——赠送礼物——温暖男孩——分发物资——感悟善意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①呼吁：appeal to/call on ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激：gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Gradually, various donations piled up, which made us full of confidence to offer sincere help.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型 2] Witnessing such warm moments, I deeply understood that a small act of kindness can bring endless warmth and firm hope to those suffering from disasters.（运用了现在分词Witnessing作状语和suffering作后置定语以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语(A1) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用0.5mm黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号及科目，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色碳索笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 选择题部分 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B A visit to a supermarket offers various fresh produce, from vegetables to berries and fruits. Shoppers can easily pick strawberries or apples. For farmers, however, the choice is far harder. They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even. Farming is full of uncertainties, according to mathematician Estelle Basor. Farmers face unpredictable weather, harmful pests, and the economic rule of supply and demand. For instance, overplanting strawberries can lower prices, leaving farmers unable to cover growing costs. Basor grew up in California’s Pajaro Valley, a key agricultural region. As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water. California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops. The team collected data on water use, prices and market demand. Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm. Results showed raspberries, needing less water, were more profitable than strawberries. They cooperate with local growers to gather real data on crop sales. Such field information improves their model so it balances water use and market need for fruits grown in Pajaro Valley. The model has received positive feedback from local farmers. It aims to help farmers nationwide deal with water shortages. Thanks to Basor’s efforts, science is offering a practical way for farmers to balance water use and income. 4. What does the underlined phrase “break even” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Win great fame. B. Avoid losing money. C. Keep crop quality. D. Increase crop sales. 5. What challenge do California farmers face? A. Fierce foreign market competition. B. Declining customers’ demand. C. Insufficient water supply for crops. D. Shallow underground water. 6. How did the team help local farmers? A. By monitoring rainfall conditions. B. By offering advice on choosing crops. C. By raising crop prices for farmers. D. By teaching daily water-saving skills. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. New method for strawberry planting. B. Drought’s impact on local agriculture. C. Balancing water and profit with math. D. Approaches to raising farmers’ income. C Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria (唱腔) and face painting. Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 8. How long is the history of Beijing Opera? A. One hundred years. B. Two hundred years. C. Three hundred years. D. Four hundred years. 9. Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera? A. There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera. B. Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts. C. Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms. D. Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera. 10. According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang? A. He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera. B. He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer. C. He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world. D. He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world. 11. What does “charm” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Present B. Bore C. Attract D. Cheat D In recent years, the rapid evolution of AI technologies has not only brought enormous convenience to daily life but also given birth to a widespread social phenomenon: FOMO, short for the fear of missing out. The rising popularity of OpenClaw, a highly capable AI agent (智能体) designed for practical situations, has further strengthened this FOMO feeling, making it particularly common among students and office workers. OpenClaw is thought highly of for its ability to accomplish complex practical tasks rather than simply respond to questions. It helps users organize documents, process information, manage communications, and greatly improve work efficiency. As an increasing number of people share their experiences online, highlighting how OpenClaw has saved time and boosted their productivity, many others begin to feel anxious. They fear that “He who does not advance loses ground.” As a result, FOMO pushes them to spend large amounts of time learning new functions, following online courses, and joining discussion groups. Some even sink into anxiety once they fail to keep up with OpenClaw’s constant updates. Although the motivation to improve oneself is positive, uncontrolled FOMO often creates unnecessary pressure and breaks the normal balance between study and work. In fact, AI tools like OpenClaw are intended to be helpers rather than sources of pressure. It is advisable to adopt new technologies at a steady and reasonable pace. We should choose the functions that truly meet our needs instead of blindly following others’ patterns. By using AI tools reasonably and appropriately, we can enjoy their benefits without being controlled by the fear of missing out. 12. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. Defining the concept of FOMO. B. Describing how AI causes social anxiety. C. Introducing OpenClaw and its functions. D. Presenting FOMO brought by AI agents. 13. What negative effect might OpenClaw have on some people according to paragraph 2? A. Slows down progress. B. Loses one’s advantage. C. Needs more training. D. Becomes less productive. 14.

If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits. ____16____ You avoid reflecting on the lessons. Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn. ____17____ Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger. You let self-doubt take over. It’s natural to feel uncertain after a failure, especially when others question your abilities. For example, you spent weeks preparing for a presentation, but it didn’t go as planned.

Do you abandon goals when you hit a small barrier? Is “I can’t do this” your automatic response? This habit keeps you stuck in failure, rather than letting you use it as a stepping stone. ____20____ This is a subtle but harmful habit.

Your unique path matters. A. You compare your progress to others’. B. You celebrate others’ achievements openly. C. You know that pushing through hardship is the right path. D. Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure. E. Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth. F.

The wind howled wildly, tearing roofs off houses and uprooting trees. Heavy rain kept pouring down for hours, resulting in severe flooding and huge losses. Although our city was not directly hit, the strong wind and heavy rain made us share their sufferings. Unluckily, other nearby cities, however, suffered far more from the disaster. One of my most vivid memories was when I watched the evening news with my family. A reporter was broadcasting from a local stadium, which served as a temporary shelter for hurricane survivors. Thousands of homeless people crowded around him. Most were dressed in torn and muddy clothes, and worse still, many had to walk barefoot. Exhausted and heartbroken, some rested on extremely simple beds, while others could only lie on the cold hard floor, their faces full of sorrow, tiredness and hopelessness. The impact of the hurricane was worse than I expected. “Did the terrible hurricane drive them away from their homes?” I asked curiously. My mom nodded gently and sighed. “Yes, Hector. All these people are from New Orleans. The powerful storm ruined their homes and possessions. Sadly, many of them have lost everything they once owned. For the time being, the stadium works as their temporary home. It is a place for them to stay until it becomes safe enough to return to their own hometowns.” As I kept staring at the TV screen, a little boy immediately caught my eye. He was sitting alone in a quiet corner of the stadium, holding an old, dirty teddy bear tightly in his arms. His pale face was filled with fear and loneliness, as if the worn toy was his only comfort left after the disaster. I seemed to feel his deep sorrow right through the screen. Right then and there, I made up my mind to do something, with that poor little boy as my first concern. 注意： (1) 写作词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, my friends and I gathered at our volunteer club. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we entered the stadium with our gifts, I quickly spotted the shy little boy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
