Here is the good news. There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing, including book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “This subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says, “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand. Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. It has also opened his eyes to a vast range of writing on the platform, as he explains, “You can find amazing fiction (小说), non-fiction and some very interesting, intelligent people across all types of writing.” He has written forty-seven posts in less than a year, which is the most writing he has ever done. Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/ This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006 and its founders wanted readers to be able to download an app so they could read and chat about fiction shared by professional writers. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance, to fantasy, to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1.Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A．There are no advertisements on the platform. B．Most writers can make over $200 per month. C．It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D．A monthly subscription costs $5 and offers more content. 2.Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A．Edgar Smith. B．Simon Whaley. C．Nick Winney. D．Eliza-Mari Janse. 3.If you are devoted to story reading, which link will you most probably click? A．https://www.wattpad.com/ B．https://eslnewsstories.com/ C．https://medium.com/ D．https://substack.com/ B One evening, while I was sorting through my late wife’s clothes in my attic (阁楼), the floor dropped from beneath me. I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot. But this time, I fell through the floorboards for real. Fortunately, I was stuck in the cracked floor. I struggled hard and finally pulled myself out. If Amy had still been around, it would never have happened. She was the family’s backbone. I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down. I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around. But single parenthood still seemed unreasonable and hard. I often forgot about garbage night until the trash (垃圾) piled up. I burned loads of potatoes while cooking. I even mistook payment reminders for spam mails, which cut off our Wi-Fi. I was doing badly. However, the day after the attic incident, when I was fixing the hole in the floor, my daughter approached, laughing. “Daddy,” she said, “I’m so proud of you for falling through the ceiling yesterday. That was very avant-garde (新潮另类的) of you.” First surprised, and then I started laughing too. For the first time, our recent “adventures” seemed funny — not just the hole, but the piled trash, the burnt potatoes. Yes, fate (命运) was playing tricks on me. I could laugh or not but the practical jokes weren’t going to stop. I’m beginning to understand that my carelessness is an advantage, not just a source of embarrassment. This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this. 4.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He lost his wife in a fall accident. B．He was determined to slow down. C．He used to be the family’s backbone. D．He was heartbroken over his wife’s death. 5.Which of the following could best describe the author? · A．Strict but caring. B．Brave and confident. C．Careless but responsible. D．Fashionable and humorous. 6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spam” in paragraph 2? A．Personal. B．Junk. C．Official. D．Confirmation. 7.What message does the author mainly want to deliver? A．A broken heart heals with love. B．Accidents bring endless troubles. C．Weakness can become one’s strength. D．Laughter carries us through hardships. C If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱)!” to one another right now. That’s because of the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a special entrance. This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due. “People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’,” said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. “The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. 8.What is the reason for moving Mona Lisa to a new area in the Louvre? A．To stress its importance. B．To make room for a show. C．To draw more visitors to the Louvre. D．To improve its show conditions. 9.What is Souleymane’s attitude toward the government’s decision? A．Dissatisfied. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned. 10.Which painting is displayed on the wall opposite Mona Lisa? A．Pastoral Concert. B．The Wedding Feast at Cana. C．Man with a Glove. D．The Coronation of the Virgin. 11.What does Compagnon suggest about the Mona Lisa? A．It needs better protection. B．It fails to live up to its fame. C．It should be promoted through lectures. D．It steals attention from other paintings. D Animals have long played a major role in science, helping researchers understand cell communication, nerve signals and medical technology. In the United States alone, millions are still used in basic research and in testing the safety of drugs and other products. Yet scientists are increasingly seeking alternatives because animals are costly, time-consuming to raise and care for, and often poor models for human biology. As Nicole Kleinstreuer of the National Institutes of Health points out, humans are not simply large rats. Animals can respond very differently from people to the same substances. Aspirin, for example, is safe for most adults but can be poisonous to rats, while some drugs that appear safe in animals fail in humans. More than 90 percent of cancer drugs that looked promising in animal studies did not help people. These limits have pushed researchers to develop methods based on human biology that may be faster, cheaper and more accurate. One important alternative is artificial intelligence. AI can help researchers analyze papers, screen chemical databases and predict how people might react to medicines or products. In one study, an AI system screened 190,000 chemicals for toxicity (毒性) with 87 percent accuracy, performing better than repeated animal testing. During the pandemic (流行病), AI also helped researchers identify promising vaccine targets faster, reducing the number of substances that needed animal testing. Another promising approach is “organs on a chip” — tiny devices containing living human cells arranged to copy organs such as the liver, lungs, heart or brain. These chips can reproduce features like blood flow and movement, and in some cases may outperform animal models, especially for diseases animals do not naturally get, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Scientists are now trying to link several chips together to create “body-on-a-chip” systems, which may even be personalized using a patient’s own stem cells. Although animal research will not disappear immediately, advances like AI and organ models are helping science move toward a future with far fewer lab animals — and, potentially, better science. 12.What do the examples in paragraph 2 intend to show? A．Drugs function similarly in animals and humans. B．Animal testing plays a vital part in medical research. C．Animals are not always reliable for medical research. D．It is morally wrong to use animals for medical testing. 13.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A．Why AI works better than traditional testing in accuracy. B．Why animal testing remains widely used in medical research. C．How chemical databases contribute to modern animal research. D．How AI helps make research faster and less dependent on animals. 14.What is the main function of “organs on a chip”? A．To model human organs. B．To predict people’s reactions. C．To store data for reproduction. D．To create personalized stem cells. 15.What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different testing methods. B．To introduce new research approaches. C．To challenge a popular theory on animals. D．To present the latest findings in AI research. 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。 Interpersonal boundaries have consistently been one of the most common topics discussed in our daily life. Boundaries are defined as the limits that determine how close or distant members in a community are and what roles each person plays within it.____16____Many people wonder how they can improve boundaries in a society or relationships. Surprisingly, we can learn a great deal from plants. Below are several plant behaviors and the lessons they offer us. Grounding yourself in what matters Plants grow roots that make them rooted securely while absorbing only the nutrients they need from the soil. Without strong roots, a plant cannot survive.____17____When we know who we are and what our core values are, we are less likely to lose ourselves in relationships. If we lose our roots, we risk losing our direction. Going with healthy defenses Many plants develop protective structures such as thorns, thick bark, or poisons to protect themselves from harm. They warn: “Approach with respect.”____18____Being able to clearly express needs, discomfort, anger, and limits allows us to protect ourselves while staying connected to others. ____19____ Plants do not grow continuously. They observe natural patterns of growth, rest, and renewal. Humans benefit from similar rhythms. Healthy boundaries include knowing when to rest, step back, and care for ourselves so we can remain emotionally available to others. Plants are masters of adaptation and survival. Over millions of years, they have developed remarkable ways to maintain balance with their environment.____20____Healthy boundaries do not separate us; instead, they help us protect our well-being and sustain everyone involved. A．Respecting others’ space B．Following cycles of nature C．Humans are able to protect ourselves while continuing to stay connected. D．Similarly, the base of healthy relationships depends on a strong sense of self. E．These limits shape our communication patterns, relationships, and overall mental health. F．Learning to strike a balance allows humans to take in what benefits us while limiting what harms us. G．In humans’ words, it means guarding ourselves against negative feelings before we’re overwhelmed. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a freshman, I enrolled in a choir class.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday — Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying fresh lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day is observed in the first place.” 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。 At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the housework. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第9页（共10页） 试题 第10页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高二英语秋季开学学情自测卷（广东专用） 英语·参考答案 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分) 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A 1.

Sighing heavily, Kayla’s eyes were filled with disappointment. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which demanded lots of energy, patience and care from her. She began the work with great unwillingness. But things began to change as she was doing the housework. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 【导语】本文以劳动节做家务的经历与心态变化为线索展开，讲述了Kayla原本满心期待劳动节放假玩耍，却被父母安排全天做家务，起初满心不情愿，在劳动过程中慢慢找到乐趣，最后体会到劳动价值、收获独特快乐的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Kayla内心的失望、对玩耍的渴望，以及被迫不情愿地开始洗碗、给小狗洗澡等家务。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Kayla做家务时发掘乐趣、高效完成打扫，完工后看到整洁环境心生自豪，休息时品尝柠檬水，感悟劳动节劳动的意义。 2. 续写线索：期待假期玩耍——得知要做家务满心失落——不情愿开始洗碗、给小狗洗澡——做家务时发现乐趣、苦中作乐——完成家务收获成就感——体会劳动带来的独特快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①刷： brush/scrub ②捡拾：pick up/gather up ③做完：finish/wrap up 情绪类 ①不情愿：unwillingness/reluctance ②自豪的：proud/triumphant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles.

I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot. But this time, I fell through the floorboards for real. Fortunately, I was stuck in the cracked floor. I struggled hard and finally pulled myself out. If Amy had still been around, it would never have happened. She was the family’s backbone. I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down. I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around. But single parenthood still seemed unreasonable and hard. I often forgot about garbage night until the trash (垃圾) piled up. I burned loads of potatoes while cooking. I even mistook payment reminders for spam mails, which cut off our Wi-Fi. I was doing badly. However, the day after the attic incident, when I was fixing the hole in the floor, my daughter approached, laughing. “Daddy,” she said, “I’m so proud of you for falling through the ceiling yesterday. That was very avant-garde (新潮另类的) of you.” First surprised, and then I started laughing too. For the first time, our recent “adventures” seemed funny — not just the hole, but the piled trash, the burnt potatoes. Yes, fate (命运) was playing tricks on me. I could laugh or not but the practical jokes weren’t going to stop. I’m beginning to understand that my carelessness is an advantage, not just a source of embarrassment. This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this. 4.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He lost his wife in a fall accident. B．He was determined to slow down. C．He used to be the family’s backbone. D．He was heartbroken over his wife’s death. 5.Which of the following could best describe the author? · A．Strict but caring. B．Brave and confident. C．Careless but responsible. D．Fashionable and humorous. 6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spam” in paragraph 2? A．Personal. B．Junk. C．Official. D．Confirmation. 7.What message does the author mainly want to deliver? A．A broken heart heals with love. B．Accidents bring endless troubles. C．Weakness can become one’s strength. D．Laughter carries us through hardships. 【答案】4.D 5.C 6.B 7.D 【导语】文章讲述了妻子离世后作者独自带女儿，生活频频出糗。阁楼坠楼一事被女儿调侃后，他豁然开朗，明白欢笑能消解困境，陪自己和女儿熬过艰难岁月。 【详解】 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot.(2024年妻子艾米去世后，我习惯了那种坠落的感觉。看到她的物品——一台医疗设备、一瓶旧香水——让我感觉仿佛我的生活正在我脚下轰然崩塌)”可知，作者对妻子的去世感到悲痛欲绝。 5.推理判断题。根据第一段“I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down.(我总是粗心、烦躁，但她总能让我放慢脚步)”以及第二段“I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around.(我竭尽全力做一个称职的单亲家长。我戒掉了喝酒，努力保持健康。女儿在身边时，我也把智能手机收起来)”可知，作者粗心但负责。 6.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I even mistook payment reminders for(我甚至误以为付款提醒是……)”以及划线词后文“which cut off our Wi-Fi(导致我们的Wi-Fi被切断)”可知，把缴费提醒当成spam导致断网，spam mail指垃圾邮件，故划线词意思是“垃圾”。 7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this.(这是我与女儿共度的最艰难的一年，而笑声正是我们告诉自己或许能挺过难关的方式)”结合文章讲述了妻子离世后作者独自带女儿，生活频频出糗，阁楼坠楼一事被女儿调侃后，他豁然开朗，明白欢笑能消解困境，陪自己和女儿熬过艰难岁月。可知，作者主要想传达笑容能让我们渡过难关。 C If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱)!” to one another right now. That’s because of the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a special entrance. This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due. “People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’,” said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. “The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. 8.What is the reason for moving Mona Lisa to a new area in the Louvre? A．To stress its importance. B．To make room for a show. C．To draw more visitors to the Louvre. D．To improve its show conditions. 9.What is Souleymane’s attitude toward the government’s decision? A．Dissatisfied. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned. 10.Which painting is displayed on the wall opposite Mona Lisa? A．Pastoral Concert. B．The Wedding Feast at Cana. C．Man with a Glove. D．The Coronation of the Virgin. 11.What does Compagnon suggest about the Mona Lisa? A．It needs better protection. B．It fails to live up to its fame. C．It should be promoted through lectures. D．It steals attention from other paintings. 【答案】8.D 9.C 10.B 11.D 【导语】本文主要介绍卢浮宫决定将《蒙娜丽莎》迁至独立展厅展出，此举不仅能改善其展出条件、缓解展厅拥挤，也能让同展厅其他珍贵画作获得游客关注。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have.(这个独立于博物馆其他部分的特定空间，将让《蒙娜丽莎》获得它本该拥有的展示条件和陈列环境。)”可知，搬迁的主要原因是为了改善其展示条件。 9.推理判断题。根据第三段“People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’(人们来这里只是为了打卡‘我参观了《蒙娜丽莎》的展柜’)”以及“And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.(即使你怀着欣赏其他画作的目的进入展厅，也会被《蒙娜丽莎》吸引。)”可知，Souleymane认可现状弊端，支持此次搬迁决定。 10.细节理解题。根据第三段“Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa.(韦罗内塞的《卡纳的婚宴》，这是一幅巨大的画作，人们不去看它，因为它挂在正对《蒙娜丽莎》的墙上。)”可知，与《蒙娜丽莎》相对的是The Wedding Feast at Cana。 11.推理判断题。根据第四段的“Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove.(Compagnon还对游客能够关注到他在这个房间里最喜爱的画作——提香的《戴手套的人》感到兴奋。)”可推知，Compagnon认为《蒙娜丽莎》此前抢占了其他画作的关注度。 D Animals have long played a major role in science, helping researchers understand cell communication, nerve signals and medical technology. In the United States alone, millions are still used in basic research and in testing the safety of drugs and other products. Yet scientists are increasingly seeking alternatives because animals are costly, time-consuming to raise and care for, and often poor models for human biology. As Nicole Kleinstreuer of the National Institutes of Health points out, humans are not simply large rats. Animals can respond very differently from people to the same substances. Aspirin, for example, is safe for most adults but can be poisonous to rats, while some drugs that appear safe in animals fail in humans. More than 90 percent of cancer drugs that looked promising in animal studies did not help people. These limits have pushed researchers to develop methods based on human biology that may be faster, cheaper and more accurate. One important alternative is artificial intelligence. AI can help researchers analyze papers, screen chemical databases and predict how people might react to medicines or products. In one study, an AI system screened 190,000 chemicals for toxicity (毒性) with 87 percent accuracy, performing better than repeated animal testing. During the pandemic (流行病), AI also helped researchers identify promising vaccine targets faster, reducing the number of substances that needed animal testing. Another promising approach is “organs on a chip” — tiny devices containing living human cells arranged to copy organs such as the liver, lungs, heart or brain. These chips can reproduce features like blood flow and movement, and in some cases may outperform animal models, especially for diseases animals do not naturally get, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Scientists are now trying to link several chips together to create “body-on-a-chip” systems, which may even be personalized using a patient’s own stem cells. Although animal research will not disappear immediately, advances like AI and organ models are helping science move toward a future with far fewer lab animals — and, potentially, better science. 12.What do the examples in paragraph 2 intend to show? A．Drugs function similarly in animals and humans. B．Animal testing plays a vital part in medical research. C．Animals are not always reliable for medical research. D．It is morally wrong to use animals for medical testing. 13.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A．Why AI works better than traditional testing in accuracy. B．Why animal testing remains widely used in medical research. C．How chemical databases contribute to modern animal research. D．How AI helps make research faster and less dependent on animals. 14.What is the main function of “organs on a chip”? A．To model human organs. B．To predict people’s reactions. C．To store data for reproduction. D．To create personalized stem cells. 15.What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different testing methods. B．To introduce new research approaches. C．To challenge a popular theory on animals. D．To present the latest findings in AI research. 【答案】12.C 13.D 14.A 15.B 【导语】文章主要说明了动物实验存在诸多局限，文章介绍两种替代方案：人工智能高效筛查化学品、缩短研发周期；器官芯片复刻人体器官。新技术将大幅减少实验动物使用，提升科研精准度。 【详解】 12．推理判断题。根据第二段“Animals can respond very differently from people to the same substances. Aspirin, for example, is safe for most adults but can be poisonous to rats, while some drugs that appear safe in animals fail in humans.(动物对相同物质的反应可能与人类大不相同。例如，阿司匹林对大多数成年人来说是安全的，但对老鼠却可能有毒；而一些在动物身上看似安全的药物，在人类身上却可能无效)”可知，第二段中的例子旨在说明动物并不总是医学研究的可靠选择。 13.主旨大意题。根据第三段“One important alternative is artificial intelligence. AI can help researchers analyze papers, screen chemical databases and predict how people might react to medicines or products. In one study, an AI system screened 190,000 chemicals for toxicity (毒性) with 87 percent accuracy, performing better than repeated animal testing. During the pandemic (流行病), AI also helped researchers identify promising vaccine targets faster, reducing the number of substances that needed animal testing.(一个重要的替代方案是人工智能。AI可以帮助研究人员分析论文、筛选化学数据库，并预测人们可能对药物或产品产生的反应。在一项研究中，一个AI系统以87%的准确率筛查了19万个化学品的毒性，其效果优于反复进行的动物实验。在疫情期间，AI还帮助研究人员更快地识别出有前景的疫苗靶点，从而减少了需要进行动物测试的物质数量)”可知，第三段主要讨论了人工智能如何帮助加快研究进程，并减少对动物的依赖。 14.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Another promising approach is “organs on a chip” — tiny devices containing living human cells arranged to copy organs such as the liver, lungs, heart or brain.(另一种有前景的方法是“芯片上的器官”——即包含活体人类细胞的微型装置，这些细胞被排列成能够模拟肝脏、肺部、心脏或大脑等器官的结构)”可知，“芯片上的器官”主要功能是模拟人体器官。 15.推理判断题。根据第一段“Animals have long played a major role in science, helping researchers understand cell communication, nerve signals and medical technology. In the United States alone, millions are still used in basic research and in testing the safety of drugs and other products. Yet scientists are increasingly seeking alternatives because animals are costly, time-consuming to raise and care for, and often poor models for human biology.(动物长期以来在科学领域扮演着重要角色，帮助研究人员理解细胞通信、神经信号以及医疗技术。仅在美国，就有数百万只动物被用于基础研究，以及药物和其他产品的安全性测试。然而，科学家们正越来越多地寻求替代方案，因为动物饲养成本高昂、繁育和照料耗时费力，且往往难以准确反映人类生物学特征)”结合文章主要说明了动物实验存在诸多局限，文章介绍两种替代方案：人工智能高效筛查化学品、缩短研发周期；器官芯片复刻人体器官。新技术将大幅减少实验动物使用，提升科研精准度。可知，文章的主要目的是介绍新的研究方法。 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。 Interpersonal boundaries have consistently been one of the most common topics discussed in our daily life. Boundaries are defined as the limits that determine how close or distant members in a community are and what roles each person plays within it.____16____Many people wonder how they can improve boundaries in a society or relationships. Surprisingly, we can learn a great deal from plants. Below are several plant behaviors and the lessons they offer us. Grounding yourself in what matters Plants grow roots that make them rooted securely while absorbing only the nutrients they need from the soil. Without strong roots, a plant cannot survive.____17____When we know who we are and what our core values are, we are less likely to lose ourselves in relationships. If we lose our roots, we risk losing our direction. Going with healthy defenses Many plants develop protective structures such as thorns, thick bark, or poisons to protect themselves from harm. They warn: “Approach with respect.”____18____Being able to clearly express needs, discomfort, anger, and limits allows us to protect ourselves while staying connected to others. ____19____ Plants do not grow continuously. They observe natural patterns of growth, rest, and renewal. Humans benefit from similar rhythms. Healthy boundaries include knowing when to rest, step back, and care for ourselves so we can remain emotionally available to others. Plants are masters of adaptation and survival. Over millions of years, they have developed remarkable ways to maintain balance with their environment.____20____Healthy boundaries do not separate us; instead, they help us protect our well-being and sustain everyone involved. A．Respecting others’ space B．Following cycles of nature C．Humans are able to protect ourselves while continuing to stay connected. D．Similarly, the base of healthy relationships depends on a strong sense of self. E．These limits shape our communication patterns, relationships, and overall mental health. F．Learning to strike a balance allows humans to take in what benefits us while limiting what harms us. G．In humans’ words, it means guarding ourselves against negative feelings before we’re overwhelmed. 【答案】16.E 17.D 18.G 19.B 20.F 【导语】文章主要围绕人际边界展开，借植物的各类生存习性，阐述建立健康人际边界的几条人生启示。 【详解】 16．根据前文“Boundaries are defined as the limits that determine how close or distant members in a community are and what roles each person plays within it. (边界被定义为决定群体成员亲疏距离以及每个人在群体中角色的界限。)”以及后文“Many people wonder how they can improve boundaries in a society or relationships. (很多人想知道如何在社交和人际关系中完善边界感。)”可知，此处需要承接前文对边界的定义，继续说明界限带来的影响或重要性等内容。E选项“These limits shape our communication patterns, relationships, and overall mental health. (这些界限塑造我们的沟通模式、人际关系与整体心理健康。)”中These limits指代前文提到的limits，衔接上下文逻辑。 17.根据前文“Plants grow roots that make them rooted securely while absorbing only the nutrients they need from the soil. Without strong roots, a plant cannot survive. (植物扎根稳固，只吸收土壤中所需养分，没有强健根系便无法存活。)”以及后文“When we know who we are and what our core values are, we are less likely to lose ourselves in relationships. (当我们认清自我与核心价值观，就不容易在人际关系中迷失。)”可知，此处用植物扎根类比人建立自我认知。D选项“Similarly, the base of healthy relationships depends on a strong sense of self. (同理，健康人际关系的根基依靠稳固的自我认知。)”通过Similarly完成类比过渡，符合语境。 18.根据前文“Many plants develop protective structures such as thorns, thick bark, or poisons to protect themselves from harm. They warn: “Approach with respect.” (许多植物长出尖刺、厚树皮或毒素等防护结构自保，警示他人保持分寸。)”以及后文“Being able to clearly express needs, discomfort, anger, and limits allows us to protect ourselves while staying connected to others. (清晰表达需求、不适、愤怒和界限，既能保护自己又维系社交。)”可知，此处将植物的防御机制转到人的自我保护方式。G选项“In humans’ words, it means guarding ourselves against negative feelings before we’re overwhelmed. (换到人的层面，这代表在被负面情绪压垮前做好自我防护。)”承接前文的植物防御，过渡到后文人类的相处之道。 19.根据后文“Plants do not grow continuously. They observe natural patterns of growth, rest, and renewal. Humans benefit from similar rhythms. (植物不会无休止生长，而是遵循生长、休整、新生的自然周期，人类也能从这类规律中获益。)”可知，本段的核心是顺应自然循环。B选项“Following cycles of nature (遵循自然循环)”作为小标题，能够准确概括本段主旨。 20.根据前文“Plants are masters of adaptation and survival. Over millions of years, they have developed remarkable ways to maintain balance with their environment. (植物擅长适应生存，演化出与环境维持平衡的独特方式。)”以及后文“Healthy boundaries do not separate us; instead, they help us protect our well-being and sustain everyone involved. (健康的边界不会隔绝彼此，反而帮助我们守护所有人的幸福。)”可知，此处衔接植物与环境平衡的特点，引出人类依靠边界达成平衡。F选项“Learning to strike a balance allows humans to take in what benefits us while limiting what harms us. (学会平衡能让人类接纳有益事物、规避伤害。)”承接前文平衡的话题，引出下文边界的价值。 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a freshman, I enrolled in a choir class.

When my turn came, I stepped up to the microphone, heart pounding.____26____the nerves, the first part of my solo went smoothly. I even felt a surge of excitement.____27____, I reached the final high note. With my lips too close to the microphone, the note____28____from the speakers. It was deafening. I looked out, finding that the entire audience had jumped back in their seats, some with jaws dropped____29____. Shame washed over me. How I wished the stage could open up and swallow me whole. The school day was only half over, so I had to return to class. Eyes fixed on the floor, I was dragging my feet down the hallway____30____a pair of athletic shoes stopped me. I looked up into the face of a senior I’d never met, preparing myself for____31____. Instead, he smiled and said, “You have a very____32____voice.” I had____33____never to sing in public again, but his words made me reconsider: Maybe I could sing. Encouraged by his____34____kindness, I went on to study music at the University of Kansas. Today, I am a professional singer-songwriter, performing every weekend with three bands across Arizona.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday — Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying fresh lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day is observed in the first place.” 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。 At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the housework. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. Sighing heavily, Kayla’s eyes were filled with disappointment. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which demanded lots of energy, patience and care from her. She began the work with great unwillingness. But things began to change as she was doing the housework. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 【导语】本文以劳动节做家务的经历与心态变化为线索展开，讲述了Kayla原本满心期待劳动节放假玩耍，却被父母安排全天做家务，起初满心不情愿，在劳动过程中慢慢找到乐趣，最后体会到劳动价值、收获独特快乐的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Kayla内心的失望、对玩耍的渴望，以及被迫不情愿地开始洗碗、给小狗洗澡等家务。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Kayla做家务时发掘乐趣、高效完成打扫，完工后看到整洁环境心生自豪，休息时品尝柠檬水，感悟劳动节劳动的意义。 2. 续写线索：期待假期玩耍——得知要做家务满心失落——不情愿开始洗碗、给小狗洗澡——做家务时发现乐趣、苦中作乐——完成家务收获成就感——体会劳动带来的独特快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①刷： brush/scrub ②捡拾：pick up/gather up ③做完：finish/wrap up 情绪类 ①不情愿：unwillingness/reluctance ②自豪的：proud/triumphant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles.

Here is the good news. There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing, including book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “This subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says, “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand. Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. It has also opened his eyes to a vast range of writing on the platform, as he explains, “You can find amazing fiction (小说), non-fiction and some very interesting, intelligent people across all types of writing.” He has written forty-seven posts in less than a year, which is the most writing he has ever done. Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/ This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006 and its founders wanted readers to be able to download an app so they could read and chat about fiction shared by professional writers. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance, to fantasy, to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1.Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A．There are no advertisements on the platform. B．Most writers can make over $200 per month. C．It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D．A monthly subscription costs $5 and offers more content. 2.Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A．Edgar Smith. B．Simon Whaley. C．Nick Winney. D．Eliza-Mari Janse. 3. If you are devoted to story reading, which link will you most probably click? A．https://www.wattpad.com/ B．https://eslnewsstories.com/ C．https://medium.com/ D．https://substack.com/ B One evening, while I was sorting through my late wife’s clothes in my attic (阁楼), the floor dropped from beneath me. I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot. But this time, I fell through the floorboards for real. Fortunately, I was stuck in the cracked floor. I struggled hard and finally pulled myself out. If Amy had still been around, it would never have happened. She was the family’s backbone. I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down. I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around. But single parenthood still seemed unreasonable and hard. I often forgot about garbage night until the trash (垃圾) piled up. I burned loads of potatoes while cooking. I even mistook payment reminders for spam mails, which cut off our Wi-Fi. I was doing badly. However, the day after the attic incident, when I was fixing the hole in the floor, my daughter approached, laughing. “Daddy,” she said, “I’m so proud of you for falling through the ceiling yesterday. That was very avant-garde (新潮另类的) of you.” First surprised, and then I started laughing too. For the first time, our recent “adventures” seemed funny — not just the hole, but the piled trash, the burnt potatoes. Yes, fate (命运) was playing tricks on me. I could laugh or not but the practical jokes weren’t going to stop. I’m beginning to understand that my carelessness is an advantage, not just a source of embarrassment. This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this. 4.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He lost his wife in a fall accident. B．He was determined to slow down. C．He used to be the family’s backbone. D．He was heartbroken over his wife’s death. 5.Which of the following could best describe the author? · A．Strict but caring. B．Brave and confident. C．Careless but responsible. D．Fashionable and humorous. 6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spam” in paragraph 2? A．Personal. B．Junk. C．Official. D．Confirmation. 7.What message does the author mainly want to deliver? A．A broken heart heals with love. B．Accidents bring endless troubles. C．Weakness can become one’s strength. D．Laughter carries us through hardships. C If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱)!” to one another right now. That’s because of the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a special entrance. This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of show and presentation it should have. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due. “People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’,” said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be attracted by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. “The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. 8.What is the reason for moving Mona Lisa to a new area in the Louvre? A．To stress its importance. B．To make room for a show. C．To draw more visitors to the Louvre. D．To improve its show conditions. 9.What is Souleymane’s attitude toward the government’s decision? A．Dissatisfied. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned. 10.Which painting is displayed on the wall opposite Mona Lisa? A．Pastoral Concert. B．The Wedding Feast at Cana. C．Man with a Glove. D．The Coronation of the Virgin. 11.What does Compagnon suggest about the Mona Lisa? A．It needs better protection. B．It fails to live up to its fame. C．It should be promoted through lectures. D．It steals attention from other paintings. D Animals have long played a major role in science, helping researchers understand cell communication, nerve signals and medical technology. In the United States alone, millions are still used in basic research and in testing the safety of drugs and other products. Yet scientists are increasingly seeking alternatives because animals are costly, time-consuming to raise and care for, and often poor models for human biology. As Nicole Kleinstreuer of the National Institutes of Health points out, humans are not simply large rats. Animals can respond very differently from people to the same substances. Aspirin, for example, is safe for most adults but can be poisonous to rats, while some drugs that appear safe in animals fail in humans. More than 90 percent of cancer drugs that looked promising in animal studies did not help people. These limits have pushed researchers to develop methods based on human biology that may be faster, cheaper and more accurate. One important alternative is artificial intelligence. AI can help researchers analyze papers, screen chemical databases and predict how people might react to medicines or products. In one study, an AI system screened 190,000 chemicals for toxicity (毒性) with 87 percent accuracy, performing better than repeated animal testing. During the pandemic (流行病), AI also helped researchers identify promising vaccine targets faster, reducing the number of substances that needed animal testing. Another promising approach is “organs on a chip” — tiny devices containing living human cells arranged to copy organs such as the liver, lungs, heart or brain. These chips can reproduce features like blood flow and movement, and in some cases may outperform animal models, especially for diseases animals do not naturally get, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Scientists are now trying to link several chips together to create “body-on-a-chip” systems, which may even be personalized using a patient’s own stem cells. Although animal research will not disappear immediately, advances like AI and organ models are helping science move toward a future with far fewer lab animals — and, potentially, better science. 12.What do the examples in paragraph 2 intend to show? A．Drugs function similarly in animals and humans. B．Animal testing plays a vital part in medical research. C．Animals are not always reliable for medical research. D．It is morally wrong to use animals for medical testing. 13.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A．Why AI works better than traditional testing in accuracy. B．Why animal testing remains widely used in medical research. C．How chemical databases contribute to modern animal research. D．How AI helps make research faster and less dependent on animals. 14.What is the main function of “organs on a chip”? A．To model human organs. B．To predict people’s reactions. C．To store data for reproduction. D．To create personalized stem cells. 15.What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different testing methods. B．To introduce new research approaches. C．To challenge a popular theory on animals. D．To present the latest findings in AI research. 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。 Interpersonal boundaries have consistently been one of the most common topics discussed in our daily life. Boundaries are defined as the limits that determine how close or distant members in a community are and what roles each person plays within it.____16____Many people wonder how they can improve boundaries in a society or relationships. Surprisingly, we can learn a great deal from plants. Below are several plant behaviors and the lessons they offer us. Grounding yourself in what matters Plants grow roots that make them rooted securely while absorbing only the nutrients they need from the soil. Without strong roots, a plant cannot survive.____17____When we know who we are and what our core values are, we are less likely to lose ourselves in relationships. If we lose our roots, we risk losing our direction. Going with healthy defenses Many plants develop protective structures such as thorns, thick bark, or poisons to protect themselves from harm. They warn: “Approach with respect.”____18____Being able to clearly express needs, discomfort, anger, and limits allows us to protect ourselves while staying connected to others. ____19____ Plants do not grow continuously. They observe natural patterns of growth, rest, and renewal. Humans benefit from similar rhythms. Healthy boundaries include knowing when to rest, step back, and care for ourselves so we can remain emotionally available to others. Plants are masters of adaptation and survival. Over millions of years, they have developed remarkable ways to maintain balance with their environment.____20____Healthy boundaries do not separate us; instead, they help us protect our well-being and sustain everyone involved. A．Respecting others’ space B．Following cycles of nature C．Humans are able to protect ourselves while continuing to stay connected. D．Similarly, the base of healthy relationships depends on a strong sense of self. E．These limits shape our communication patterns, relationships, and overall mental health. F．Learning to strike a balance allows humans to take in what benefits us while limiting what harms us. G．In humans’ words, it means guarding ourselves against negative feelings before we’re overwhelmed. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a freshman, I enrolled in a choir class.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday — Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying fresh lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day is observed in the first place.” 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。 At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the housework. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
