(2025·浙江高一上期中)
I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers and I live,we tend to accept the rat race values.As students,we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great achievement.
Another one I am content with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was seldom at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly(不断地) nagged(唠叨) him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me,so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed,and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement,however,is my successful work in the local old folks’ home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept(哭泣) bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates,I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly,help them with their daily life,and listen to their problems,glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year,I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I think about my achievements,I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home,so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it,after all.

(2025·湖南衡阳高一上期末)
Australia has passed a law that aims to prevent people younger than 16 from using social media.The law is meant to protect young people,but some people say it could create more problems than it solves.Under the new law,social media companies must take “reasonable steps” to prevent anyone under 16 from creating an account(账户).If the companies do not follow the law,they could be fined up to US $32 million.
Many people in Australia seem to agree.Recent surveys show that 77% of people in Australia are in favor of the law.People are worried about how social media can hurt young people’s mental health.Many people have heard stories about young people who have been bullied(伤害) online and later hurt themselves.
But not everyone agrees that the new law is a good idea.Some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them.Others worry that the social media ban will push young people toward less safe parts of the Internet.
One of the biggest problems is how the social media companies will figure out how old their users are.The law says the companies must give people a way to prove their age without sending in a government ID,but it’s not clear how this might work.The demand that the companies collect even more information raises worries about the privacy of young people.
Other countries have also taken steps to limit social media use by young people.In France,people under 15 cannot use social media without agreement from a parent.Countries like the UK and Norway are considering similar laws.Some US states have passed laws limiting social media for young people,though these laws have been challenged in court.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚通过了一项旨在阻止16岁以下人群使用社交媒体的法律。但是澳大利亚的人们对此持有不同的观点,同时文章还指出该法律在执行过程中存在一定的难度。
28.What does the underlined word “fined” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Added. B.Punished.
C.Cheated. D.Lent.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“If the companies do not follow the law,they could be fined up to US $32 million.”可知,公司不遵守法律,应该是会面临高达3 200万美元的罚款。由此推知,画线单词fined意为“惩罚”,与punished的意思相符。故选B。
29.What do Australians think of the new law?
A.They all agree to it.
B.They are all against it.
C.They hold different opinions.
D.They are very worried about it.
答案 C
解析 观点态度题。根据第二段中“Many people in Australia seem to agree.”和第三段中“But not everyone agrees that the new law is a good idea.”可推知,澳大利亚人对于新法律的观点不一致。故选C。
30.What is one of the biggest problems in carrying out the law for social media companies?
A.How to find out users’ ages.
B.How to use users’ ID cards.
C.How to protect users’ privacy.
D.How to collect users’ thoughts.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“One of the biggest problems is how the social media companies will figure out how old their users are.”可知,对于社交媒体公司来说,实施这项法律最大的问题之一是如何识别用户的年龄。故选A。
31.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A.Many European countries are passing similar laws.
B.France has no age limit for using social media.
C.A number of laws of the US have been challenged.
D.Teenagers’ use of social media has attracted global attention.
答案 D

Climate change is speeding up the frequency and seriousness of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa,where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades.Besides,traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events accurately(准确地) ahead of time,leaving the areas at risk.Based on the facts,accurate and timely forecasts are important to protect lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather forecasts.By using both physical atmospheric processes in traditional forecasting and AI,researchers develop a first-of-its-kind new modeling method to give more accurate rainfall forecasts.“We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed,so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath,a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath,this model,which only requires a notebook computer to run,without the need for expensive supercomputers,gives local meteorological(气象的) organizations an affordable way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data.The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa,making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
Traditionally,many forecasting organizations in Africa had not good computational resources.The project is supported by an IT company,which provides funding and computational resources.This approach gives them the ability to use AI to make forecasting at the least computational expense.
The model is now being rolled out in Kenya and Ethiopia.If successful in East Africa,researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges.More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.

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。
(2025·广东东莞高一上期中)
Change is with us from the day we are born and change is all around us every day. 36 This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way.So,what can we young people do in face of some changes?
We young people aren’t always ready to deal with changes.That’s because our young brains are still growing.The back part of our brain is all about survival and keeping us alive.The middle of our brain controls our emotions. 37
Our brain can react to situations in different ways,depending on how we deal with changes or stress.When the brain thinks the body may be in danger,we’ll have the fight or flight response(反应). 38 The heart then sends blood quickly to the different body parts.It prepares the body to fight,flee or freeze.
There are times when we young people feel stressed,when changes get hard to manage,or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts. 39 That may be a parent or carer,grandparent,aunt or uncle,teacher,neighbor or even an older brother or sister.Change can sometimes be hard or make you worry,but you don’t have to do it alone.
40 By meeting changes and trying new things,we’ll begin to discover what we really love.As we learn more about ourselves,we’ll make better decisions about our life and future.This can help us discover our path in life.
A.Changes are chances for us to grow up.
B.That response makes the heart beat faster.
C.And the front of our brain is still developing.
D.But some can face changes easily,while others can’t.
E.Other people can be affected by the slightest changes.
F.Brains are very important organs to deal with stress or changes.
G.In these situations,it’s OK to seek or ask for help from an adult we trust.

36.答案 D
解析 下文“This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way.”说明的是这种差异指的是面对变化不同的人有不同的反应,因此D项“但有些人能轻松地应对变化,而另外一些人却不能”符合语境,故选D。
37.答案 C
解析 上文“The back part of our brain...The middle of our brain controls our emotions.”说明的是大脑不同部位的功能和情况,空格处与上文是并列关系,应介绍大脑前部的情况,因此C项“我们大脑的前部仍在发育”符合语境,故选C。
38.答案 B
解析 上文“When the brain thinks the body may be in danger,we’ll have the fight or flight response(反应).”以及下文“The heart then sends blood quickly to the different body parts.

39.答案 G
解析 上文“There are times when we young people feel stressed,when changes get hard to manage,or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts.”说明年轻人会遇到各种困境,空格处应给出解决方法,即可以寻求他人的帮助,因此G项“在这些情况下,向我们信任的成年人寻求帮助是可以的”承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
40.答案 A
解析 由下文“As we learn more about ourselves,we’ll make better decisions about our life and future.This can help us discover our path in life.”可推知此段主要讲的是变化有利于我们的成长,因此A项“变化是我们成长的机会” 可以作为本段的主旨句,故选A。

(2025·河南省九师联考高一上期中)
Mrs Murray,who taught at a primary school,was known for her warm smile and caring attitude.Her students enjoyed her science lessons.However,Mrs Murray faced a challenge that surprised her.
In her class,there was a new student named Timmy.He was a bright student but struggled with reading.He had trouble sounding out words,and when he read aloud,he would often skip(跳过) words or make mistakes.This often made him feel his face reddening with shyness.The situation led to a sense of discomfort and a feeling of being stuck,without a clear way to solve his problem.Even when Mrs Murray encouraged him,he would simply shake his head and look down at his desk.
One morning,Mrs Murray was giving a new science lesson about the solar system.She noticed that when it was time for students to read,Timmy was unusually quiet.While other students read excitedly about planets,Timmy sat there,doing nothing.This worried Mrs Murray.She didn’t want Timmy to feel left out or discouraged.
After class,Mrs Murray decided to talk to Timmy.“Hi,Timmy.Can I talk to you for a moment?” She asked in a soft voice.Timmy looked up,surprised,and nodded.“I saw that you didn’t read today.Is there something that troubles you?”
For some moments,Timmy remained quiet,but finally said,“I don’t like reading.I can’t do it well,and it makes me feel bad.” Hearing this,Mrs Murray felt a rush of compassion(怜悯).She realized that Timmy needed help,and she wanted to find a way to support him.
Reading was important,but everyone learned differently.Mrs Murray thought hard to have Timmy become confident and enjoy the fun of reading.As the bell for class was ringing,a great idea sprang to Mrs Murray’s mind—creating a special reading club in her office for Timmy.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The next day,Mrs Murray talked to Timmy again.
After a few weeks,Timmy made good progress.
参考范文
The next day,Mrs Murray talked to Timmy again.She told him about her idea of the special reading club.Timmy looked at her with doubt in his eyes.Mrs Murray explained that it would be just the two of them,and they would take it step by step.She assured him that she would be there to help him every step of the way.Slowly,Timmy’s face showed a hint of a smile and he agreed to give it a try.
After a few weeks,Timmy made good progress.He could read simple sentences without many mistakes.His confidence grew,and he no longer dreaded reading aloud in class.One day,during a science lesson,Mrs Murray asked Timmy to read a paragraph.He read it clearly and fluently.The whole class clapped for him.Timmy’s face shone with pride.Mrs Murray was happy to see the change in him.She praised his efforts and encouraged him to keep going.Timmy knew that with hard work and Mrs Murray’s support,he could overcome any challenge.
