In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 24．(10分)What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A．To enlarge her business. B．To practice her embroidery skills. C．To promote the art of embroidery. D．To increase her influence in the industry. 25．Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival? A．People think they’re out of date. B．Old people do not want to wear them. C．They’re not as good as they used to be. D．People prefer to buy mooncakes instead. 26．Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers? A．They are of higher quality. B．They are more comfortable. C．They are more affordable. D．They are made of softer material. 27．What will Wong do in the future? A．Open more shoe factories. B．Expand her product range. C．Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D．Build partnerships with local shoe factories. C （本题10分）Starting high school is a big step for any teenager, for there are many things about high school that are different from your old school environment, and you will experience many changes. You will face entering a new school, making new friends in a new class, and getting to know new teachers. These teachers will usually have higher academic expectations than your middle school or junior high school teachers. They want to help you get into college; they expect you to study hard and improve yourself. Although these are all big changes, they are nothing you can’t handle. There are many different useful resources to help you deal with any problem. Your teachers, parents and friends are there to help you transition (过渡) into this great new time in your life.

High school may be a time of change, but these changes should be for the better. Your high school years are a great time in your life. To fully enjoy your high school experience, try to deal with the situations of your life with which you are not happy. If you are feeling pressured to do something you feel wrong, talk to a friend or parent to find a solution. If you are not succeeding academically, find a teacher or someone else to help you improve. If you feel isolated socially, try to join a school club or group to make new friends.

D （本题10分）A recent study conducted by researchers at MIT has found that using AI tools like ChatGPT may hurt people’s ability to think, learn, and remember in the long term. The study focused on students who used large language models (LLMs) to help them write essays (文章). These students showed less brain activity, poorer memory, and lower engagement (参与) compared with those who did not use AI. The research team used Electroencephalogram scans (EEGs) to monitor the brain activity of 54 students in three groups when they were doing their writing tasks: one group used ChatGPT, one used Google, and the third used no external (外部的) help at all. Over a period of four months, the group that used ChatGPT performed worst in all areas — brain activity, language use, and scoring. The findings showed that students who depended on AI had trouble remembering or quoting from their own essays. They also felt less ownership of their work. On the other hand, students who wrote without any help produced more original content and had more active brains. Even when students stopped using AI and tried writing on their own, their brain activity remained low. Interestingly, those who started without AI and later used it showed an increase an brain activity, suggesting they were actively trying to combine the new tool with their own knowledge. The researchers also warned that while AI makes tasks easier, it may reduce people’s willingness to think critically. Many users simply accept the AI’s answers without questioning them. Teachers were able to identify AI-generated essays because they followed a similar structure and lacked creativity. Henry Shevlin, a researcher from Cambridge University, said that “Right now, there’s no proof (证据) that LLM usage caused lasting ‘brain damage’, but it suggests that AI could possibly form a kind of ‘laziness’”. He added, “We should be careful not to come to conclusions about whether AI is all good or all bad for learning. Some studies show positive results, while others show disadvantages. What really matters is how we choose to use the tool.” 32．(10分)Which group showed the lowest brain activity and poorest performance over four months? A．The group that used ChatGPT. B．The group that used Google. C．The group that worked in pairs. D．The group that used no external help. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the study’s findings? A．The study proved that using AI causes lasting damage to the brain. B．Teachers could not identify AI-generated essays and student-written ones. C．Students who went from writing alone to using AI showed a rise in brain activity. D．Brain activity immediately returned to high levels just after students stopped using AI. 34．What can we infer from Henry Shevlin words? A．All schools should immediately stop using AI tools. B．The effect of using AI depends greatly on how it is used. C．AI is always harmful in education, no matter how it is used. D．The study’s conclusions are perfect and need no further discussion. 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．AI May Weaken Learning Performances. B．How to Use ChatGPT for Essay Writing. C．The Rapid Development of AI Technology. D．Why Teachers Dislike AI-generated Essays. E （本题12.5分）Learning how to study effectively is a lifelong skill that benefits high school students significantly. 36(12.5分) They are often seen to rely on methods like underlining or rereading, which waste time without boosting memory. The following strategies will help you study smarter, not harder. ●Embrace self-testing regularly Self-testing is more effective than passive review. Instead of passively reviewing notes, ask yourself questions about the material — for example, “What are the key steps of distributed practice?” or “Why is rereading inefficient?” 37 ●Practice distributed learning Doing all your studying in one night is ineffective. 38 For instance, if you’re preparing for a biology test, study 30 minutes on Monday, 20 minutes on Wednesday, and 25 minutes on Friday instead of 2 hours the night before. Spacing out sessions improves long-term memory. ● 39 Relate new concepts to what you already know or have experienced. If you’re learning about economics, relate supply and demand to your experience of buying limited-edition sneakers. Making personal connections turns abstract concepts into meaningful information that’s easier to remember. ●Avoid multitasking at all costs Switching between homework, social media, and music reduces focus and slows down learning. 40 Those are the last things you’re expected to do. Instead, focus fully on one task for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break — this method maximizes efficiency and prevents burnout. Mastering these strategies takes practice, but the payoff is significant: better grades, less stress, and lifelong learning ability. A．Relate learning to daily routines. B．Connect new knowledge to experience. C．This active recall strengthens memory and identifies knowledge gaps. D．Many students struggle with study due to ineffective study approaches. E．Doing a few tasks at once divides attention and prevents deep understanding. F．Spreading out study time over several days leads to better learning outcomes. G．Effective learning demands consistent practice and scientific time arrangement. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）“You’re so ugly; nobody can even look at you!

The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true. I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves. Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings. Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home. Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm (节奏) of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself missing a taste of my home, both physically and mentally. 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。 Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Welcome unit（适中版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Where does the conversation probably take place?

I finished my Master’s degree in Denmark and Doctor’s degree in Sweden. This experience has taught me a lot. When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But in a strange way, you also start to see that all of these differences are also universal and people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture background and when you make friends, you learn to hug people’s perfections alongside their shortcomings. This blessing of knowing many people from many cultural backgrounds taught me to understand myself better, and the importance of deepening my soft-skills. Do you also have a dream of studying abroad? You can keep what I said in mind. 二、阅读理解 A Advance your leadership with Aurora LEAP, our flagship online certificate program.

In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 24．(10分)What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A．To enlarge her business. B．To practice her embroidery skills. C．To promote the art of embroidery. D．To increase her influence in the industry. 25．Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival? A．People think they’re out of date. B．Old people do not want to wear them. C．They’re not as good as they used to be. D．People prefer to buy mooncakes instead. 26．Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers? A．They are of higher quality. B．They are more comfortable. C．They are more affordable. D．They are made of softer material. 27．What will Wong do in the future? A．Open more shoe factories. B．Expand her product range. C．Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D．Build partnerships with local shoe factories. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在香港，传统手工艺正受到技术和全球化的冲击，但Miru Wong Ka-lam正在努力保持粤绣艺术的活力。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery.(为了分享她的技艺，这家已有65年历史的小企业的第三代老板每周都会为那些渴望学习刺绣这门濒临灭绝的艺术的人举办讲习班)”可知，Wong每周举办工作坊的目的是为了推广刺绣艺术。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段““When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says.(Wong说：“我祖父母在20世纪50年代开这家店的时候，手工拖鞋的订单要多得多。现在，人们似乎更关注买月饼。”)”可知，手工拖鞋在中秋节变得不那么受欢迎是因为现在人们更喜欢买月饼作为礼物。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival.(更便宜的机绣拖鞋是对传统工艺生存的另一个威胁)”可知，机器制造的拖鞋被认为是手工拖鞋的威胁，因为它们更便宜。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use.(Wong决心给粤绣艺术注入新的生命，加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子)”可知，Wong决定在粤绣艺术中加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子，由此可知，未来她会扩大她的产品范围。故选B。 C （本题10分）Starting high school is a big step for any teenager, for there are many things about high school that are different from your old school environment, and you will experience many changes.

The study focused on students who used large language models (LLMs) to help them write essays (文章). These students showed less brain activity, poorer memory, and lower engagement (参与) compared with those who did not use AI. The research team used Electroencephalogram scans (EEGs) to monitor the brain activity of 54 students in three groups when they were doing their writing tasks: one group used ChatGPT, one used Google, and the third used no external (外部的) help at all. Over a period of four months, the group that used ChatGPT performed worst in all areas — brain activity, language use, and scoring. The findings showed that students who depended on AI had trouble remembering or quoting from their own essays. They also felt less ownership of their work. On the other hand, students who wrote without any help produced more original content and had more active brains. Even when students stopped using AI and tried writing on their own, their brain activity remained low. Interestingly, those who started without AI and later used it showed an increase an brain activity, suggesting they were actively trying to combine the new tool with their own knowledge. The researchers also warned that while AI makes tasks easier, it may reduce people’s willingness to think critically. Many users simply accept the AI’s answers without questioning them. Teachers were able to identify AI-generated essays because they followed a similar structure and lacked creativity. Henry Shevlin, a researcher from Cambridge University, said that “Right now, there’s no proof (证据) that LLM usage caused lasting ‘brain damage’, but it suggests that AI could possibly form a kind of ‘laziness’”. He added, “We should be careful not to come to conclusions about whether AI is all good or all bad for learning. Some studies show positive results, while others show disadvantages. What really matters is how we choose to use the tool.” 32．(10分)Which group showed the lowest brain activity and poorest performance over four months? A．The group that used ChatGPT. B．The group that used Google. C．The group that worked in pairs. D．The group that used no external help. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the study’s findings? A．The study proved that using AI causes lasting damage to the brain. B．Teachers could not identify AI-generated essays and student-written ones. C．Students who went from writing alone to using AI showed a rise in brain activity. D．Brain activity immediately returned to high levels just after students stopped using AI. 34．What can we infer from Henry Shevlin words? A．All schools should immediately stop using AI tools. B．The effect of using AI depends greatly on how it is used. C．AI is always harmful in education, no matter how it is used. D．The study’s conclusions are perfect and need no further discussion. 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．AI May Weaken Learning Performances. B．How to Use ChatGPT for Essay Writing. C．The Rapid Development of AI Technology. D．Why Teachers Dislike AI-generated Essays. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了MIT的研究发现长期使用ChatGPT等AI工具可能损害人的思考、学习和记忆能力，同时提及合理使用的重要性。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over a period of four months, the group that used ChatGPT performed worst in all areas — brain activity, language use, and scoring.(在四个月的时间里，使用 ChatGPT 的小组在所有领域 —— 大脑活动、语言使用和得分方面表现最差)”可知，使用 ChatGPT 的小组大脑活动最低、表现最差。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, those who started without AI and later used it showed an increase in brain activity, suggesting they were actively trying to combine the new tool with their own knowledge.(有趣的是，那些一开始不使用AI后来才使用的人，大脑活动有所增加，这表明他们在积极尝试将新工具与自己的知识结合起来)”可知，从独自写作到使用AI的学生大脑活动有所上升。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He added, “We should be careful not to come to conclusions about whether AI is all good or all bad for learning. Some studies show positive results, while others show disadvantages. What really matters is how we choose to use the tool.”(他补充说：“我们应该谨慎，不要轻易下结论说AI对学习是全好还是全坏。一些研究显示了积极的结果，而另一些则显示了缺点。真正重要的是我们选择如何使用这个工具。”)”可知，AI的影响很大程度上取决于使用方式。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A recent study conducted by researchers at MIT has found that using AI tools like ChatGPT may hurt people’s ability to think, learn, and remember in the long term.(麻省理工学院研究人员最近进行的一项研究发现，长期使用ChatGPT等人工智能工具可能会损害人们的思考、学习和记忆能力)”及全文围绕该研究展开，可知“AI可能削弱学习表现”是合适的标题。故选A。 E （本题12.5分）Learning how to study effectively is a lifelong skill that benefits high school students significantly. 36(12.5分) They are often seen to rely on methods like underlining or rereading, which waste time without boosting memory. The following strategies will help you study smarter, not harder. ●Embrace self-testing regularly Self-testing is more effective than passive review. Instead of passively reviewing notes, ask yourself questions about the material — for example, “What are the key steps of distributed practice?” or “Why is rereading inefficient?” 37 ●Practice distributed learning Doing all your studying in one night is ineffective. 38 For instance, if you’re preparing for a biology test, study 30 minutes on Monday, 20 minutes on Wednesday, and 25 minutes on Friday instead of 2 hours the night before. Spacing out sessions improves long-term memory. ● 39 Relate new concepts to what you already know or have experienced. If you’re learning about economics, relate supply and demand to your experience of buying limited-edition sneakers. Making personal connections turns abstract concepts into meaningful information that’s easier to remember. ●Avoid multitasking at all costs Switching between homework, social media, and music reduces focus and slows down learning. 40 Those are the last things you’re expected to do. Instead, focus fully on one task for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break — this method maximizes efficiency and prevents burnout. Mastering these strategies takes practice, but the payoff is significant: better grades, less stress, and lifelong learning ability. A．Relate learning to daily routines. B．Connect new knowledge to experience. C．This active recall strengthens memory and identifies knowledge gaps. D．Many students struggle with study due to ineffective study approaches. E．Doing a few tasks at once divides attention and prevents deep understanding. F．Spreading out study time over several days leads to better learning outcomes. G．Effective learning demands consistent practice and scientific time arrangement. 【答案】36．D 37．C 38．F 39．B 40．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出许多学生因方法低效学习遇阻，介绍了定期自测、间隔学习、联结新知与经历、杜绝多任务这四种高效学习策略，掌握后益处良多。 【详解】36．由上文“Learning how to study effectively is a lifelong skill that benefits high school students significantly.(学习如何高效学习是一项终身技能，对高中生大有裨益。)”和下文“They are often seen to rely on methods like underlining or rereading, which waste time without boosting memory.(人们常看到他们依赖划重点或重读这类方法，这些方法既浪费时间又无法提升记忆力。)”可知，空格处需衔接高效学习的重要性与学生的低效学习现状，指出学生的学习问题。D项“Many students struggle with study due to ineffective study approaches.(许多学生因低效的学习方法而在学习中陷入困境。)”符合语境，该句点明学生学习的核心问题，“ineffective study approaches”直接对应后文的低效学习方法，为后文引出高效学习策略做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 37．由上文“Instead of passively reviewing notes, ask yourself questions about the material — for example, “What are the key steps of distributed practice?” or “Why is rereading inefficient?” (与其被动复习笔记，不如针对所学内容向自己提问 —— 比如“间隔学习的关键步骤是什么？”或“为什么重读是低效的？”。)”可知，空格处需说明自我测试这一主动回忆方式的作用，契合本段“定期自我测试”的主题。C项“This active recall strengthens memory and identifies knowledge gaps.(这种主动回忆能增强记忆力，还能找出知识漏洞。)”符合语境，“This active recall”指代前文的自我提问方式，该句点明其两大核心作用，解释了自我测试比被动复习更有效的原因，逻辑清晰。故选C项。 38．由上文“Doing all your studying in one night is ineffective.(把所有学习任务都堆在一晚完成是低效的。)”和下文“For instance, if you’re preparing for a biology test, study 30 minutes on Monday, 20 minutes on Wednesday, and 25 minutes on Friday instead of 2 hours the night before.(例如，如果你在准备生物考试，可在周一学30分钟、周三20分钟、周五25分钟，而非考前一晚学2小时。)”可知，空格处需点明间隔安排学习时间的好处，衔接堆集学习的低效性与后文的举例。F项“Spreading out study time over several days leads to better learning outcomes.(将学习时间分散到几天能带来更好的学习效果。)”符合语境，“Spreading out study time over several days”直接对应本段“间隔学习”的核心，也与后文的举例内容一致，“better learning outcomes”还呼应下文“提升长期记忆力”，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 39．由下文“Relate new concepts to what you already know or have experienced.(将新概念与你已知的知识或经历联系起来。)”和“Making personal connections turns abstract concepts into meaningful information that’s easier to remember.(建立个人关联能将抽象概念转化为更容易记住的有意义信息。)”可知，空格处需作为本段主题句，概括“将新知识与自身知识、经历关联”的核心策略。B项“Connect new knowledge to experience.(将新知识与经历相联系。)”符合语境，该句精准概括本段主旨，“Connect new knowledge to experience”与后文的“Relate new concepts to what you already know or have experienced”完全呼应，逻辑清晰。故选B项。 40．由上文“Switching between homework, social media, and music reduces focus and slows down learning.(在作业、社交媒体和音乐之间切换会降低注意力，减慢学习速度。)”和下文“Those are the last things you’re expected to do.(这些都是你最不该做的事。)”可知，空格处需进一步说明多任务同时进行的危害，衔接前文的负面影响与后文的否定评价。E项“Doing a few tasks at once divides attention and prevents deep understanding.(同时做多项任务会分散注意力，无法实现深度理解。)”符合语境，该句承接前文“降低注意力、减慢学习速度”，进一步阐述多任务的危害，“divides attention”与前文“reduces focus”相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）“You’re so ugly; nobody can even look at you!

Andrew Matthews, 58 Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is the biggest difficulty in our life.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. Keep telling yourself 62 you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true earlier because a big dream 63 (make) up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be many 64 (challenging) on the road to your dreams. But the biggest one comes from 65 (you).

(from) doing sth.是固定结构，表示“阻止某人做某事”，此处省略了介词from，要将括号里的realize变成V-ing形式。故填realizing。 62．考查宾语从句。句意：不断告诉自己你想要什么。telling yourself后接了宾语从句_______you want，所填连接词在从句中作及物动词want的宾语，连接代词what表示“什么”，在宾语从句中可以作宾语，符合本句句意。故填what。 63．考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：一步一步来做这件事，你的梦想会更早实现，因为一个大梦想是由许多小梦想组成的。括号里给了动词make，其后有up of。由于be made up of是固定短语，表示“由……组成”，本句陈述客观事实，要用一般现在时，主语a big dream是单数名词，be动词要用is。故填is made。 64．考查名词。句意：在你通往梦想的道路上会有许多挑战。many要接复数名词，括号里的challenging是形容词，对应的名词是challenge，复数形式是challenges。故填challenges。 65．考查代词。句意：但最大的挑战来自你自己。所填词作介词from的宾语，要将人称代词you变成反身代词yourself，表示“你自己”，符合句意。故填yourself。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你校计划在教室引入平板电脑（tablet computers）辅助教学。为此，校英文报“Voice of Youth”现面向全校同学征稿，希望听取同学们的看法，供学校决策参考。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 表明态度； 2. 陈述理由并举例说明； 注意： 1.词数80左右。 2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 My Opinion on Introducing Tablets into Our Classrooms The school’s proposal to introduce tablet computers for classroom learning has sparked considerable discussion among us students. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My Opinion on Introducing Tablets into Our Classrooms The school’s proposal to introduce tablet computers for classroom learning has sparked considerable discussion among us students. As for me, I fully support this proposal, for it can bring great convenience to our study and make teaching more efficient. On the one hand, tablets can help us access learning resources quickly. When we meet difficult problems in class, we can search for relevant materials or explanations immediately instead of waiting for the teacher’s reply. On the other hand, tablets can save paper. Teachers can send homework and notes electronically, and we can take notes directly on the tablet, which is environmentally friendly. I believe with proper use, tablets will become a good helper for our study and promote our learning efficiency greatly. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文向校英文报“Voice of Youth”投稿，表明自己对在教室引入平板电脑的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 合适的：proper→appropriate 遇到：meet→come across/encounter 促进：promote→boost/facilitate 直接地：directly→straightway 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：Teachers can send homework and notes electronically, and we can take notes directly on the tablet, which is environmentally friendly. 拓展句：Not only can teachers send homework and notes electronically, but also we can take notes directly on the tablet, which is environmentally friendly. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As for me, I fully support this proposal, for it can bring great convenience to our study and make teaching more efficient.（运用了for引导原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】When we meet difficult problems in class, we can search for relevant materials or explanations immediately instead of waiting for the teacher’s reply.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true. I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves. Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings. Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home. Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm (节奏) of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself missing a taste of my home, both physically and mentally. 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。 Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. On weekends, Mr Smith would take me on a trip to many attractions, some even I had only read about in textbooks. Mrs Smith went out of her way to make me feel at home by cooking Chinese dishes. Mike shared his own experiences of studying abroad to comfort me. At school, my teachers were patient and understanding, offering extra help with assignments and encouraging me to join clubs to make new friends. My classmates invited me to see movies, play hockey, and go to concerts. Everyone was warm, open, and never hesitant in offering help. Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. I offered to share Chinese culture with my host family. I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking. I also participated in a local volunteer group, where I met people from different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. These experiences broadened my perspective and helped me feel more connected to my new environment. As the months passed, Bath began to feel like a second home. I developed a close connection with people here that I knew would last a lifetime. 【导语】本文以作者去当交换生为线索展开，讲述了作者是一位中国高中生，到英国巴斯交换一年。初到时，巴斯的风景和寄宿家庭的热情让他感到新奇，但英国的教育方式和口音让他不适应，加上文化差异，他开始想家。在寄宿家庭和朋友的帮助下，他逐渐适应，分享中国文化，加入辩论社和志愿者活动。最终，他在巴斯找到了归属感。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我的挣扎，我周围的人都站出来支持我”可知，第一段可描写寄宿家庭的成员提供支持，让作者有家的感觉，学校里老师提供学业上的帮助，同学邀请作者参加各种活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“渐渐地，我开始适应这里的生活”可知，第二段可描写作者和寄宿家庭分享中国文化，在学校里提升英语水平，和更多的人交流，作者融入这里的生活，收获了紧密的联系。 2. 续写线索：周围人支持作者——寄宿家庭的支持——学校里的支持——作者逐渐适应——在寄宿家庭和学校的活动——作者融入这里 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/console/relieve ②提高：improve/sharpen ③收获：gain/obtain/attain ④遇到：meet/come across/encounter 情绪类 ①耐心的：patient/forbearing ②犹豫的：hesitant/tentative 【点睛】[高分句型1] I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking.
