At these popular beaches, you’ll feel as if you’re in paradise (天堂) — like Bali. Here are four of the best beaches there. Tanjong Beach The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. Especially, the Tanjong Beach Club is a top nightlife spot for drinking cocktails (鸡尾酒) and enjoying water sports like surfing. St. John’s Island Beach You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. This pretty place has a beach that’s great for sunbathing, swimming in clear water, and having picnics away from the city. Visitors can also spot unique marine life (海洋生物), go fishing, and even rent cabins or bungalows to stay on the island. Make sure to bring everything you need — there are no shops on the island. Coney Island Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience. Pulau Hantu This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with (充满) colorful corals and marine life. People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat. Enjoyed this? Check out The Best Island Getaways In and Around Singapore. 1. Which place is hard to return from in one day? A. St John’s Island. B. Tanjong Beach. C. Coney Island. D. Pulau Hantu. 2. What does the four beaches have in common? A.

B. A textbook. C. A website. D. A report. B Timothy was exhausted for he worked extended hours. Although earning a low wage and handling ill-mannered customers, he always put serving those who sat at his tables well on the front burner of his mind. He would go about his daily duties carefully, putting on a smiling face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill. Usually as night deepened, preparing to close the business, he would notice a couple of customers walk in, sit down and order drinks. Most of the crew had left by closing time, but Timothy stayed to serve. Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill. The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt. “Tomorrow will be better,” he murmured. But luck wouldn’t always smile on him. Evening approaching, a group of teenagers stepped in. Thankfully, they were polite and respectful. Their cheerful behavior began to affect him. As always, he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one. Time dragged on and they finished their drinks. He placed the bill on the table, accompanied with some candies. The group placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling. When he returned to clear the table, he was astonished. A tip of $3 was sitting there, staring at him, but their total bill amounted to $100. He’d gone above and beyond to serve them. How could they be so rude? Later that week, he battled to brush off the awkward memories. He arrived at work and expected it to be like any other day, but there was something left on the desk for him. a two-page handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached, in which they explained they were unaware of how to tip appropriately due to it being their first time in this bar. Everything suddenly made sense. Timothy thumbed up what they did with a big grin and he was so moved by their gesture that he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts. The reaction was more than positive. 4. What did Timothy focus on in his job? A. Getting more tips. B. Being a gentle colleague. C. Providing quality service. D. Brushing off sad memories. 5. What caused the teenagers to leave a tip of $3? A. Dissatisfaction with the drinks. B. Gratefulness to Timothy. C. Ignorance of the tipping culture. D. Misunderstanding of the bill. 6. Which of the following best describes Timothy? A. Positive and committed. B. Generous and tolerant. C. Ambitious and cheerful. D. Demanding and respectable. 7. What can we learn from the teenagers? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Apologies make for harmony. D. It’s good to make things right. C In 2022, the actor Ralph Fiennes took a helicopter ride over New York, looking down like a god on the avenues, expressways, and bridges that shape the city’s daily life. He studied the view with care, not as a tourist might, but as preparations to play the man who created much of it all: Robert Moses, once the most powerful urban planner in the world. “I just wanted to get a sense of the reach of his vision,” says Fiennes from Umbria, Italy, where he’s renting a farmhouse with no Wi-Fi, so he is at a local cafe, wearing a loose white shirt open at the neck in the heat. “From all the conversations I have had with New Yorkers, they consider his legacy to be extremely negative. But you can’t go to New York and not benefit from the West Side Highway or Riverside Park. You still use the tunnels and bridges that he built. Of course, the Cross Bronx Expressway is horrible — it’s a controversial legacy. And that is very much addressed in the play.” The play Straight Line Crazy revolves around two key moments in Moses’s life. The first is in 1926, when viewers see him driving through his plan to open up Long Island and create Jones Beach State Park, changing the coastline from a playground for renowned families such as the Vanderbils and the Whitneys into a recreational facility for everyone. By 1955 that idealism had soured and Moses’s plan to route a highway through Washington Square was thwarted by a mass protest of local residents, determined to protect their community. When Hare’s play Straight Line Crazy, directed by Nicholas Hytner, opened in London in March 2022, it was a revelation: huge ideas dealt with in witty (机智的) and vivid ways. And it was an education too, introducing a largely ignorant English theater-going public to the whole idea of Moses. “But in New York,” says Hare, “everyone already has a view about him.” 8. Why did Ralph Fiennes take a helicopter ride over New York? A. He learned to be an urban planner. B. He inspected expressways and bridges. C. He admired the city from above as a tourist. D. He drew inspiration for acting Robert Moses. 9. What does the underlined word “thwarted” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Prevented. B. Adopted. C. Supported. D. Adapted. 10. What can be inferred from the text? A. New Yorkers can’t get benefits from Moses’s design. B. Moses’s plan in 1926 was met with protests of the locals. C. Hare, the director of this play, thought highly of Robert Moses. D. All the New Yorkers don’t think the Cross Bronx Expressway valuable. 11. In which section of the newspaper might the text appear? A. Environment. B. Lifestyle. C. Entertainment. D. Community. D “Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did. Sean told me two days ago.” Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happens to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip (闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic — breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out — that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor (传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority (优越感). Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have. 12. Why does the author use a conversation at the beginning of the passage? A. To introduce a topic. B. To present an argument. C. To describe the characters. D. To clarify his writing purpose. 13. What is an important negative effect of gossip? A. Breaking up relationships. B. Causing unpleasant experiences. C. Embarrassing the listener. D. Spreading information around. 14. What does Professor David Wilson think that gossip can do? A. It attracts the police’s attention to group behaviors. B. It forces schools to improve student handbooks. C. It helps people watch their own behaviors. D. It provides students with written rules. 15. What advice does the author give in the passage? A. Never become a gossiper. B. Stay away from gossipers. C. Don’t let gossip turn into lies. D. Think twice before you gossip. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cloud storage (云储存) is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. It enables you to store your data on distant servers. ____16____ In this way, the space on your computer won’t be taken up. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment. ____17____ Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the Internet using your username and password.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (嫉妒的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened. One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class whose name was Coco. Coco’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Coco never joined the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her. Lily couldn’t understand why Coco didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Coco sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Coco looked up with a smile. “I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.” That night, Lily thought about Coco’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what was truly meaningful. 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。 The following week, Lily began to learn from Coco. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 广安加德学校2025-2026学年度上期高2024级第一次月考 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Gradually, she found joy in helping others too. When a classmate struggled with English, Lily offered to study together after school. She even joined Coco in the library volunteer team. Instead of checking social media for the latest trends, she now looked for opportunities to make a difference. Her parents noticed the change — she talked less about buying things and more about what she had learned or who she had helped. One afternoon, while walking home, Lily realized she hadn’t compared herself to anyone all week. For the first time, she felt truly content. Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. Not only had her grades improved noticeably, but she had also become one of the most kind-hearted and respected students in school. During a class meeting, her teacher mentioned Lily’s transformation as an example of “real growth.” Coco smiled at her from across the room, and Lily knew she had finally understood what her parents meant by “true value.” It wasn’t about what you had, but who you became. Lily still liked pretty things, but now she valued kindness, knowledge, and generosity far more. She had learned that happiness comes not from having more, but from being more — for yourself and for others. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
