(本题10分)Wilson noted the people whom he admired in his autobiography. They are individuals who “concentrate all the courage and self-discipline they possess toward a single worthy goal: explorers, mountain climbers, military heroes, and a very few scientists.”
Wilson’s formula for being a hero is simple but difficult to follow. You need to “drive toward discouraging goals with nerves dealt with failure and a willingness to accept pain.” You need to be a scientist like Philip Jackson Darlington, one of Wilson’s early heroes.
In the 1940s, Darlington was in pursuit of insects in the jungles of Papua New Guinea in the southwest Pacific. A crocodile (鳄鱼) took him in its jaws and dragged him underwater. He escaped, but his right hand was permanently injured. Yet he went on to greatly expand our knowledge of the insects of Papua New Guinea and other parts of the world. “I acknowledge,” Wilson told us, “that to fight off a crocodile is an act of survival, not proof of character. But to go where crocodiles live is.”
When Wilson was 23 and ready to set off on his first field trip to collect insects in the tropics (热带地区), he went to Darlington for advice. “Most people,” Darlington shared, “take it easy when they go in the field.” He told Wilson not to stay on the trails but to walk in a straight line through the forest. “Try to go over any barrier you meet,” he advised. “It’s hard, but it’s the best way to collect.”
Darlington’s advice for ant collecting might be considered a metaphor for the way Wilson began his career and lived for nine decades. Life can be hard. Steel yourself to it; face its challenges. Do not fear — the hard way is the right way. Be brave, be driven, and keep your mind and best eye open.
24.(10分)Why could Darlington be Wilson’s hero?
A.He discovered new species. B.He funded Wilson’s first trip.
C.He pursued science fearlessly. D.He taught Wilson about insects.
25.What do Wilson’s words in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fighting crocodiles defines a hero. B.Surviving an accident is pure luck.
C.Scientists should avoid risky places. D.Choosing to face danger is courageous.
26.What was Darlington’s suggestion for field research?
A.Focus on collecting common insects. B.Go straight and overcome obstacles.
C.Follow the established trails for safety. D.Take it easy and avoid difficult barriers.
27.What is the main message of the text?
A.A list of personal heroes. B.A warning about research risks.
C.An inspiration to face difficulties. D.A record of scientific achievements.
(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. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to any of these people, there are many helpful hotlines you can call to talk anonymously (匿名地). 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.
High school may seem rather difficult at first, but you will come to appreciate everything about your experience at last.
28.(10分)What will new teachers expect you to do according to paragraph 2?
A.Behave yourself. B.Make more new friends.
C.Be equipped with more knowledge. D.Get familiar with the school.
29.What is the author’s attitude towards the big changes in high school?
A.Optimistic. B.Negative. C.Neutral. D.Indifferent.
30.What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Free. B.Relaxed. C.Alone. D.Tired.
31.For whom is the text written?
A.Parents. B.High school freshmen.
C.College students. D.Middle school teachers.
(本题10分)Be it sugar or social media, the response in our brain is the same: It produces a “feel-good” chemical called dopamine. It first brings about pleasure, but it doesn’t last very long. It is then followed by pain so that we have to search for the pleasurable things again.
“This cycle of pleasure and pain made sense in the time of early humans when we had to constantly search for our basic needs-food, water, shelter,” says Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford Medical School researcher. “But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’ caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in modern life.”
In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus (刺激) just to feel good. Otherwise, the cycle will lead us to anxiety, depression and many other problems.
“This is a universal problem—not one limited to those struggling with the disease of addiction. If we want to stay mentally healthy, we must rethink how to break the cycle in a dopamine-overloaded world,” says Lembke.
Her suggestions for the addicts?
Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure. This doesn’t mean going cold turkey forever. But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. Then re-introduce the pleasurable things little by little, like just a few bites of ice cream at a time or just one hour online a night.
Another strategy is to create physical distance between us and our addiction. That could mean just removing the addictive thing from our personal space. For someone who’s addicted to video games, that could mean a separate laptop for work and one for play.
“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise,” Lembke says. “By doing so, we will reset reward pathways and eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term.”
32.(10分)What can we learn about dopamine from the text?
A.It has always been harmful to humans.
B.It gives us less joy for the same rewards.
C.It can be caused by anything available.
D.It can lead to a lasting good feeling.
33.What do the underlined words “going cold turkey” probably mean?
A.Abandoning. B.Waiting. C.Cooking. D.Repeating.
34.What does Dr. Anna Lembke suggest we do in the long term?
A.Avoid pleasure in life.
B.Set a strict limit on pleasurable things.
C.Change reward pathways.
D.Expose ourselves to repeated rewards.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Ways to Live With Dopamine in Peace
B.Tips on Getting Rid of Social Media Addiction
C.Strategies for Making Most of the Modern Life
D.The Need to Strike a Pleasure-pain Balance
A Real Job at School
In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks.
Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 36(0分) It usually takes just a few days.
The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 37 Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects.
38 They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 39 They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently.
The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 40
A.Only parts and labor are paid for.
B.Students gain the most from the program.
C.It only costs extra money to buy new device.
D.When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready.
E.It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.
F.Apart from grades and pay, students gain more practical skills.
G.In addition to praise and money, students take free courses.

(本题15分)My twin sister and I studied in the same school for ten years. The first day we entered the campus, we were 41 by its beauty and bright-colored stone statues of fairies (精灵) that 42 there.

The tree by the school gate was dead and its bare branches were 50 , leaving only the trunk. The young schoolmates were 51 by the loss of this tree and the trunk left was a sad 52 to them of the once-living tree. 53 transforming this trunk into a fairy house for visiting fairies to stop by and have a little snack, I put little 54 in the house so that the children could look into the little fairy kitchen while walking by. While cutting and shaping the trunk took many hours, it was well worth it for we 55 a wound in our natural environment.

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We believe that life in a Chinese high school 56(15分) (be) an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams. Yet, would you be amazed if I told you that high school life in the US is almost as 57 (stress) as it is in China?
58 (study) hard is important for US high school students. In US high schools, everything 59 (record) and graded, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing 60 (hand) in your homework on time will actually affect your grade in a certain course. Perhaps different from what we used to think of US high school students, they pay great attention 61 getting high grades to get into a key university. Otherwise, they’ll be disappointed after graduation.
Like university students, US high school students have the freedom to choose the courses 62 attract them. Even a 9th grader can sit in 63 same classroom as 12th graders. But this also means he or she has to work 64 (extreme) hard. Obviously the teacher will not treat him or her differently just because he or she is a few years younger than others, and there will be plenty of problems to overcome. But overcoming these problems will make your 65 (confident) stronger.

Kevin was a member of a well-known family—well respected and industrious. However, a crisis left their family penniless.
Kevin decided to leave home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor. Before leaving, he told his father, “I want to learn the circus (马戏) performance.”
His father was confused and wondered why he had such a strange idea.
What his father didn’t know was that Kevin loved the circus since childhood. Every time there was news of a circus performance, he hurried home on his bicycle. He ran through the front door. “Mum, Dad,” he shouted. “The circus has come to town.”
He was very excited when his father took him and his sister to the circus the next day. At the circus, the audience always burst out laughing when the clowns (小丑) appeared. The attraction of the circus was endless.
He clearly remembered once they went and sat down, a lady in a shiny costume walked a tightrope. When a boy of Kevin’s age rode a unicycle (独轮脚踏车), he asked for a volunteer. Kevin raised his hand and he was picked. The boy taught Kevin to ride a unicycle. The audience clapped. He had a great time at the circus!
His father was unhappy with his answer, “What? No, you can’t do that. A circus is the place for clowns. Our family will be ashamed of you.”
But Kevin insisted (坚持). “Our family is so poor now. Which is more important to you, dignity (尊严) or food? I will give you some money every month from the circus. It probably will be a huge fortune. ” His father was very stubborn (固执的). “If you go there, somebody will know about it very soon and I’ll be very embarrassed, and it must be really tough to be skilled at performing such tricks.”
However, Kevin still left home and found a circus to stay regardless. He worked very hard studying magic and lived with animals. Every month, his parents would get a check from him.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But they never knew Kevin’s address.

Today is March 14th, the date of Pi Day.
Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988 at a museum called Exploratorium in San Francisco. The employees paraded around one of the museum’s circular spaces during the first celebration. 31 years later, UNESCO declared Pi Day as the International Day of Mathematics.
Nowadays, Pi Day is celebrated across the world. American schools usually hold activities related to the food pie, such as pie-eating contests or simply throwing pie at each other. In some Chinese schools, competitions are held where the student who can accurately recite the most digits of pi wins. In Germany, schools encourage students to express their artistic talents through art displays centered around pi, ranging from pi-inspired paintings to mathematical sculptures.
For tonight’s lecture, we are honored to have Mr. Russell Wang, who will share with us some interesting stories about pi in history. Mr. Wang is a popular science writer ...

【答案】21.C 22.B 23.D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了由美国大学建筑学院协会主办的2026年钢铁设计竞赛。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据第一段“Ten winning submissions will be recognized and exhibited at the 2027 ACSA Annual Meeting. And the ten winners will receive $1,000 cash prizes respectively. (十份获奖作品将获得认可,并在2027年ACSA年会上展出。十位获奖者将分别获得1,000美元现金奖励)”可知,10个获奖作品将在2027年ACSA年会上表彰和展出。10名获奖者将分别获得1,000美元的现金奖励。所以该比赛的奖金总额为10,000美元。故选C项。
22.细节理解题。根据Category II说明中“This competition category offers students the opportunity to select a site and building program using steel as the primary material. It permits any building type other than a Community Dance Center. (该竞赛类别为学生提供了选择场地和建筑项目的机会,要求以钢材为主要材料。除社区舞蹈中心外,允许选择任何建筑类型)”可知,Category II允许参赛者自由选择除社区舞蹈中心外的任何建筑类型,这体现了其在建筑类型上的灵活性。而Category I明确限定为“Design a Community Dance Center (社区舞蹈中心)”,二者主要区别在于建筑类型的选择范围。故选B项。
23.细节理解题。根据Submission Requirements部分中“Students or teams wishing to enter the competition must have a supervisor, who should complete the online registration by April 8, 2026. (希望参加竞赛的学生或团队必须有一名指导老师,该老师应在2026年4月8日前完成在线注册)”可知,参加比赛的学生或团队必须有一名导师,并由导师在2026年4月8日之前完成在线注册。故选D项。
(本题10分)Wilson noted the people whom he admired in his autobiography. They are individuals who “concentrate all the courage and self-discipline they possess toward a single worthy goal: explorers, mountain climbers, military heroes, and a very few scientists.”
Wilson’s formula for being a hero is simple but difficult to follow. You need to “drive toward discouraging goals with nerves dealt with failure and a willingness to accept pain.” You need to be a scientist like Philip Jackson Darlington, one of Wilson’s early heroes.
In the 1940s, Darlington was in pursuit of insects in the jungles of Papua New Guinea in the southwest Pacific. A crocodile (鳄鱼) took him in its jaws and dragged him underwater. He escaped, but his right hand was permanently injured. Yet he went on to greatly expand our knowledge of the insects of Papua New Guinea and other parts of the world. “I acknowledge,” Wilson told us, “that to fight off a crocodile is an act of survival, not proof of character. But to go where crocodiles live is.”
When Wilson was 23 and ready to set off on his first field trip to collect insects in the tropics (热带地区), he went to Darlington for advice. “Most people,” Darlington shared, “take it easy when they go in the field.” He told Wilson not to stay on the trails but to walk in a straight line through the forest. “Try to go over any barrier you meet,” he advised. “It’s hard, but it’s the best way to collect.”
Darlington’s advice for ant collecting might be considered a metaphor for the way Wilson began his career and lived for nine decades. Life can be hard. Steel yourself to it; face its challenges. Do not fear — the hard way is the right way. Be brave, be driven, and keep your mind and best eye open.
24.(10分)Why could Darlington be Wilson’s hero?
A.He discovered new species. B.He funded Wilson’s first trip.
C.He pursued science fearlessly. D.He taught Wilson about insects.
25.What do Wilson’s words in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fighting crocodiles defines a hero. B.Surviving an accident is pure luck.
C.Scientists should avoid risky places. D.Choosing to face danger is courageous.
26.What was Darlington’s suggestion for field research?
A.Focus on collecting common insects. B.Go straight and overcome obstacles.
C.Follow the established trails for safety. D.Take it easy and avoid difficult barriers.
27.What is the main message of the text?
A.A list of personal heroes. B.A warning about research risks.
C.An inspiration to face difficulties. D.A record of scientific achievements.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.B 27.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了威尔逊在自传中提及敬佩的人如达林顿,达林顿曾遇鳄鱼受伤仍坚持研究,还建议威尔逊野外研究直面障碍,其经历也启发威尔逊勇敢面对生活困难。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“Wilson’s formula for being a hero is simple but difficult to follow. You need to “drive toward discouraging goals with nerves dealt with failure and a willingness to accept pain.” You need to be a scientist like Philip Jackson Darlington, one of Wilson’s early heroes.(威尔逊成为英雄的准则简单却难以遵循。你需要“朝着令人沮丧的目标努力,同时要能坦然面对失败,并愿意承受痛苦。”你需要成为像菲利普·杰克逊·达林顿那样的科学家,他是威尔逊早期的英雄之一)”可知,达林顿会成为威尔逊的英雄是因为他勇敢地追求科学。故选C。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段““I acknowledge,” Wilson told us, “that to fight off a crocodile is an act of survival, not proof of character. But to go where crocodiles live is.”(“我承认,”威尔逊告诉我们,“与鳄鱼搏斗是一种生存行为,并非彰显个性的表现。但去鳄鱼出没的地方却是真的对品格的证明。”)”可知,威尔逊在第三段中的这番话意味着选择面对危险就是勇敢的表现。故选D。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段““Most people,” Darlington shared, “take it easy when they go in the field.” He told Wilson not to stay on the trails but to walk in a straight line through the forest. “Try to go over any barrier you meet,” he advised. “It’s hard, but it’s the best way to collect.”(达林顿说道:“大多数人在进入野外时都会放松下来。”他告诉威尔逊不要沿着小径行走,而要沿着一条直线穿过森林。“遇到任何障碍都要试着越过它,”他建议道,“这很难,但这是收集样本的最佳方法。”)”可知,达林顿对于实地考察的建议是直接前行,克服障碍。故选B。
27.主旨大意题。根据第四段““Most people,” Darlington shared, “take it easy when they go in the field.” He told Wilson not to stay on the trails but to walk in a straight line through the forest. “Try to go over any barrier you meet,” he advised. “It’s hard, but it’s the best way to collect.”(达林顿说道:“大多数人在进入野外时都会放松下来。”他告诉威尔逊不要沿着小径行走,而要沿着一条直线穿过森林。“遇到任何障碍都要试着越过它,”他建议道,“这很难,但这是收集样本的最佳方法。”)”以及文章通过威尔逊崇拜的英雄达林顿“无畏面对危险、坚持科学研究”的事例,以及达林顿给威尔逊的励志建议,传递出“直面困难、勇敢前行”的核心思想,可知,这篇文章的主旨是一种面对困难的鼓舞力量。故选C。

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. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to any of these people, there are many helpful hotlines you can call to talk anonymously (匿名地). 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.
High school may seem rather difficult at first, but you will come to appreciate everything about your experience at last.

30.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“If you feel isolated socially, try to join a school club or group to make new friends. (如果你在社交上感到isolated,试着加入学校的俱乐部或团体,结交新朋友。)”可知,加入学校的俱乐部或团体,结交新朋友,有助于改善社交上的孤独感。故划线词的意思是“孤独的”。A. Free.自由的;B. Relaxed.放松的;C. Alone.孤独的;D. Tired.疲倦的。故选C。
31. 推理判断题。根据第一段“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. (开始高中生活对任何青少年来说都是一大步,因为高中生活与你以前的学校环境有很多不同,你会经历很多变化。)”可知,这篇文章是为高中新生写的。故选B。
(本题10分)Be it sugar or social media, the response in our brain is the same: It produces a “feel-good” chemical called dopamine. It first brings about pleasure, but it doesn’t last very long. It is then followed by pain so that we have to search for the pleasurable things again.
“This cycle of pleasure and pain made sense in the time of early humans when we had to constantly search for our basic needs-food, water, shelter,” says Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford Medical School researcher. “But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’ caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in modern life.”
In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus (刺激) just to feel good. Otherwise, the cycle will lead us to anxiety, depression and many other problems.
“This is a universal problem—not one limited to those struggling with the disease of addiction. If we want to stay mentally healthy, we must rethink how to break the cycle in a dopamine-overloaded world,” says Lembke.
Her suggestions for the addicts?
Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure. This doesn’t mean going cold turkey forever. But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. Then re-introduce the pleasurable things little by little, like just a few bites of ice cream at a time or just one hour online a night.
Another strategy is to create physical distance between us and our addiction. That could mean just removing the addictive thing from our personal space. For someone who’s addicted to video games, that could mean a separate laptop for work and one for play.
“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise,” Lembke says. “By doing so, we will reset reward pathways and eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term.”
32.(10分)What can we learn about dopamine from the text?
A.It has always been harmful to humans.
B.It gives us less joy for the same rewards.
C.It can be caused by anything available.
D.It can lead to a lasting good feeling.
33.What do the underlined words “going cold turkey” probably mean?
A.Abandoning. B.Waiting. C.Cooking. D.Repeating.
34.What does Dr. Anna Lembke suggest we do in the long term?
A.Avoid pleasure in life.
B.Set a strict limit on pleasurable things.
C.Change reward pathways.
D.Expose ourselves to repeated rewards.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Ways to Live With Dopamine in Peace
B.Tips on Getting Rid of Social Media Addiction
C.Strategies for Making Most of the Modern Life
D.The Need to Strike a Pleasure-pain Balance
【答案】32.B 33.A 34.C 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了上瘾的机制及戒瘾的办法。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’ caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in modern life. (但我们的大脑并没有调整到能够扑灭‘多巴胺之火’,这种‘多巴胺之火’是由现代生活中很容易获得的快乐事物引起的)”,以及第三段“In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus (刺激) just to feel good. (此外,当我们反复接触能带来快乐的事物时,我们就无法从同样的奖励中获得快乐。相反,我们需要越来越强的刺激来让自己感觉良好)”可知,因为多巴胺,同样的回报却给我们更少的快乐。故选B项。
33.词句猜测题。根据第六段的划线词前一句“Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure.(从我们赖以获得快乐的一切事物中抽出30天时间休息)”及划线词后“But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. (但第一个月是打破快乐—痛苦循环的关键,一开始就完全戒掉上瘾行为要容易得多)”可知,going cold turkey与后句中的cut out意思相同,意为“戒掉”,与Abandoning(中止,放弃)意思相近,故选A项。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后两句“By doing so, we will reset reward pathways and eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term. (通过这样做,我们将重置奖励途径,最终会更快乐。这并不容易,但从长远来看是值得做的)”可知, 从长远来看,Dr.Anna Lembke建议我们应该改变奖励途径,才能让自己长久感到幸福。故选C项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise, (在生活富足的时候,我们必须保持快乐和痛苦的平衡,这意味着有意地避免快乐,寻求那种让我们保持健康的有目的的痛苦,比如锻炼)”可知,控制上瘾最根本的一条还是能在苦与乐之间取得一种微妙的平衡。故选D项。
A Real Job at School
In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks.
Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 36(0分) It usually takes just a few days.
The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 37 Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects.
38 They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 39 They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently.
The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 40
A.Only parts and labor are paid for.
B.Students gain the most from the program.
C.It only costs extra money to buy new device.
D.When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready.
E.It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.
F.Apart from grades and pay, students gain more practical skills.
G.In addition to praise and money, students take free courses.

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We believe that life in a Chinese high school 56(15分) (be) an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams. Yet, would you be amazed if I told you that high school life in the US is almost as 57 (stress) as it is in China?
58 (study) hard is important for US high school students. In US high schools, everything 59 (record) and graded, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing 60 (hand) in your homework on time will actually affect your grade in a certain course. Perhaps different from what we used to think of US high school students, they pay great attention 61 getting high grades to get into a key university. Otherwise, they’ll be disappointed after graduation.
Like university students, US high school students have the freedom to choose the courses 62 attract them. Even a 9th grader can sit in 63 same classroom as 12th graders. But this also means he or she has to work 64 (extreme) hard. Obviously the teacher will not treat him or her differently just because he or she is a few years younger than others, and there will be plenty of problems to overcome. But overcoming these problems will make your 65 (confident) stronger.
【答案】
56.is 57.stressful 58.Studying 59.is recorded 60.to hand 61.to 62.that/which 63.the 64.extremely 65.confidence
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国高中的学习生活,指出其学业压力并不亚于中国高中,同时提及美国高中生的学习要求、选课自由以及学业挑战等相关情况。
【详解】56.考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:我们认为中国高中的生活是一场冒险,在这场冒险中,我们必须应对堆积如山的作业和考试。We believe是主句,that life in a Chinese high school_______an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams是that引导的宾语从句,陈述客观事实,要用一般现在时。主语life是单数名词,所填be 动词作谓语,要用is。故填is。
57.考查形容词。句意:然而,如果我告诉你美国的高中生活几乎和中国的一样有压力,你会感到惊讶吗?as______as放在be动词之后作表语,要填形容词,要将名词stress变成对应的形容词stressful,表示“有压力的”,符合句意。故填stressful。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:努力学习对美国高中生来说很重要。_______hard作主语,要将括号里的动词study变成非谓语动词形式。由于“努力学习”是习惯性动作,而非具体一次,要用V-ing结构作主语,放在句首时首字母要大写。故填Studying。
59.考查动词的语态和主谓一致。句意:在美国高中,所有的东西都会被记录并评分,包括你在小测验、测试和期末考试中的成绩。所填词作谓语,时态要用一般现在时和上下文保持一致。主语everything和动词record之间为被动关系,要用一般现在时的被动语态。主语是表示人的复合不定代词,be动词要用is,record的过去分词为recorded。故填is recorded。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:未能按时交作业实际上会影响你某门课程的成绩。Failing_______in your homework on time是V-ing结构作主语,fail to do sth.为固定搭配,表示 “未能做某事”。故填to hand。
61.考查介词。句意:也许与我们过去对美国高中生的看法不同,他们非常注重取得高分,以便进入重点大学。pay great attention to是固定搭配,表示“高度重视”。故填to。
62.考查定语从句。句意:和大学生一样,美国高中生有自由选择吸引他们的课程。______attract them引导定语从句,修饰先行词为courses。先行词指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
63.考查冠词。句意:甚至九年级的学生能和十二年级的学生坐在同一个教室。由于the same...as...是固定结构,表示“和……一样的……”。故填the。
64.考查副词。句意:但这也意味着他或她必须非常努力地学习。空处修饰副词hard,应用副词形式,extreme的副词为extremely。故填extremely。
65.考查名词。句意:但克服这些问题会让你的自信心更强。空处作谓语will make的宾语,且前面有形容词性物主代词your修饰,要将括号中的形容词confident变成名词confidence。该词是不可数名词,没有单复数的变化,故填confidence。

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。
Kevin was a member of a well-known family—well respected and industrious. However, a crisis left their family penniless.
Kevin decided to leave home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor. Before leaving, he told his father, “I want to learn the circus (马戏) performance.”
His father was confused and wondered why he had such a strange idea.
What his father didn’t know was that Kevin loved the circus since childhood. Every time there was news of a circus performance, he hurried home on his bicycle. He ran through the front door. “Mum, Dad,” he shouted. “The circus has come to town.”
He was very excited when his father took him and his sister to the circus the next day. At the circus, the audience always burst out laughing when the clowns (小丑) appeared. The attraction of the circus was endless.
He clearly remembered once they went and sat down, a lady in a shiny costume walked a tightrope. When a boy of Kevin’s age rode a unicycle (独轮脚踏车), he asked for a volunteer. Kevin raised his hand and he was picked. The boy taught Kevin to ride a unicycle. The audience clapped. He had a great time at the circus!
His father was unhappy with his answer, “What? No, you can’t do that. A circus is the place for clowns. Our family will be ashamed of you.”
But Kevin insisted (坚持). “Our family is so poor now. Which is more important to you, dignity (尊严) or food? I will give you some money every month from the circus. It probably will be a huge fortune. ” His father was very stubborn (固执的). “If you go there, somebody will know about it very soon and I’ll be very embarrassed, and it must be really tough to be skilled at performing such tricks.”
However, Kevin still left home and found a circus to stay regardless. He worked very hard studying magic and lived with animals. Every month, his parents would get a check from him.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But they never knew Kevin’s address.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Kevin’s father went to the show.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But they never knew Kevin’s address. They knew the money was from Kevin but when people asked them about Kevin’s job, they never told them the truth. Later, his parents received more money from him. Then, a magician named Albert became very famous across the country. Many people were fascinated by his performance and thought he was a legend of the field. One day, Kevin’s father went to visit a relative in another city. The relative paid a lot for tickets of the magician’s show and invited him to watch.
Kevin’s father went to the show. During the show, he was totally impressed by the magician’s tricks. When the magician took off his mask, the father found Albert was his son Kevin. Everything clicked. Kevin changed his name for fear that his career might bring shame on his family. Staring at the young adult on the stage and picturing how hard a life he must have experienced, Kevin’s father felt a wave of mixed feelings coming over him. He couldn’t wait to hug his son and told him how proud he was to have Kevin as their family member.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,凯文家由于危机导致一贫如洗。从小热爱马戏的凯文想去学习马戏,可被爸爸阻止。爸爸认为只是一件令家族羞愧的事情。后来凯文离开家偷偷学习魔术成为了著名的魔术师。爸爸得知后感慨万千,为之骄傲。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但他们从来不知道凯文的地址。”可知,第一段可描写凯文离家学习魔术并成为了著名的魔术师,经常给家里寄钱。 但是从来没有告诉过父母他的成功。
②由第二段首句内容“凯文的爸爸去看演出了。”可知,第二段可描写爸爸去观看凯文的魔术表演并认出了著名的魔术师就是凯文并为他感到骄傲。
2.续写线索:学习魔术——成为著名魔术师——给家里寄钱——家人不知道凯文的就是著名的魔术师——爸爸观看魔术表演——认出凯文感到骄傲

①拜访:visit /call on
②抹黑:bring shame on / defame/ bring disgrace upon
③涌入:come over / crowd in

[高分句型2].Staring at the young adult on the stage and picturing how hard a life he must have experienced, Kevin’s father felt a wave of mixed feelings coming over him. (使用了现在分词短语Staring at和picturing充当时间状语,以及how引导的宾语从句)
