(2025·山东德州高二上期中)
Jane Seymour,co-founder of the Open Hearts Foundation,has always been inspired by her mother’s advice—that love has no boundaries and flows unconditionally.That advice originated from Jane’s mother’s experience as a survivor of World War Ⅱ.She survived three and a half horrific years by caring for soldiers who were far worse off than she was.Focusing her energy on serving others under the most difficult circumstances was the only way she survived.
Jane was greatly impacted by her mother’s story.When faced with her own personal challenges—losing her home and being nearly broke(破产的)—Jane used her last bit of money to have an artist draw her children.At her home,the artist saw some of Jane’s paintings,and offered her free art lessons.It was then that she discovered her unique talent for art,which led to a series of positive influences in her life,including a new career,new passions,and the inspiration for the Open Hearts Value.
Every time Jane painted a heart,it was open,and when there were two or more,they were always connected.This distinctive image represents the Open Hearts Value,and was the beginning of her journey to encourage people to turn their personal challenges into an opportunity to help others.
When Signet Jewelers,the world’s largest retailer(零售商) of diamond jewelry,learned of this story,they approached her about creating a line of jewelry with the Open Hearts symbol.That business partnership sold billions of dollars of jewelry and started the charitable beginning of the Open Hearts Foundation.Jane’s vision was to create a foundation that encouraged people to help others and provided immediate funding to small,new charities that shared the same values.
What started as a cause marketing campaign has grown into a movement of like-minded people working together for the greater good.Over sixty charities have been supported by the Foundation and thousands of volunteers have been inspired to do what they can to help others through virtual and in-person volunteer experiences.

If you feel that making friends as a kid is easy,you’re right.“They have a break between lessons and gym classes.They can let their guard down,” says Marisa G.Franco,a sought-after friendship & belonging expert.However,it’s not the case for adults.Even though they see their colleagues every day,they still find it never easy to be friends with them.
In the US,for example,a survey by the American Enterprise Institute found that the number of adults who said they had no close friends had increased four times since 1990,going from 3 percent to 12 percent.“We’ve never been more disconnected,” says psychologist and author Jody Carrington.Although adults spend time together from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and even late into the night,the fast-paced work pattern dictates that communication is limited to the content of the work,and after work,they immediately go back to homes,leaving no extra energy to have unplanned interactions to develop further friendship.
Research by Brigham Young University psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad has shown that loneliness is a major threat to longevity(长寿),same as being an alcoholic.People who are lonely or socially cut off have a higher risk of having diseases like depression,dementia and cardiac death.On the another side,healthy friendships can help us a lot,doing better with stress and living happier and longer.Plus,happiness is contagious.Harvard researchers found that when an individual becomes happy,his or her friends who live in a 1.6-kilometre radius have a 25 percent higher chance of getting a boost in happiness,too.
Hence,making and deepening friendships matters more than we imagine.You might think making friends is an inherent skill that doesn’t need to be taught.It’s not the case.We can all get better at connection if we try.Some experts offer some tricks to make finding connection a little easier.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了成年人不容易建立联系的原因,强调了建立联系的重要性并提出建议。
5.How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A.By listing a lot of figures.
B.By drawing a conclusion.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By showing a conversation.
答案 C
解析 写作手法题。根据第一段中的“If you feel that making friends as a kid is easy,you’re right.’They have a break between lessons and gym classes.They can let their guard down’”以及“However,it’s not the case for adults.Even though they see their colleagues every day,they still find it never easy to be friends with them.”可知,作者在第一段将孩子交友容易和成年人交友困难的情况进行对比来引出话题。故选C。
6.What makes it difficult for an adult to be friends with others according to paragraph 2?
A.Lack of breaks in the workplace.
B.Worry about being deeply hurt.
C.Unwillingness to communicate.
D.Lack of unarranged interactions.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“and after work,they immediately go back to homes,leaving no extra energy to have unplanned interactions to develop further friendship”可知,缺乏计划外的互动使成年人很难与他人成为朋友。故选D。
7.What does the author want to convey in paragraph 3?
A.The approach to leading a happy life.
B.The necessity of staying connected.
C.The consequences of getting into bad habits.
D.The relationship between happiness and habits.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,孤独是长寿的主要威胁,会增加患病风险,而健康的友谊可以帮助我们更好地应对压力,活得更快乐、更长久。因此,作者在第三段想要传达保持联系的意义和必要性。故选B。
8.What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Effective. B.Influential.
C.Flexible. D.Unique.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Harvard researchers found that when an individual becomes happy,his or her friends who live in a 1.6-kilometre radius have a 25 percent higher chance of getting a boost in happiness,too.”可知,当一个人变得快乐时,其住在1.6公里半径内的朋友也有25%的机会获得快乐。所以快乐是有感染力的,因此,画线词contagious意为“有影响力的”。故选B。
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
3D-Printed Violins
While professional violinists often have instruments that cost between $2,000 and $10,000,it is possible to have one that costs millions depending on how they were and who made them. 1 This can make it hard for many to access the instrument,especially for beginners and music classrooms.
However,the good news for them is that they will meet with low-cost and durable(耐用的) 3D-printed violins thanks to The Acoustical Society of America’s AVIVA Young Artists Program.The team’s inspiration roots in multiple places.Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds created by using new materials,to use the new technology of other fields,and to make music education accessible through the printing of more durable instruments. 2 The method of distribution has yet to be decided—it could involve shipping fully printed violins,sharing the 3D-printing files with makers,or a combination of both.
3 The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to provide a comfortable grasp for the musicians,while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance,much like a typical acoustic(原声的) violin.The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins. 4
“The next step is to lower the costs of production for making such instruments more widely available,especially in the field of education,” said Mary-Elizabeth Brown,director of the AVIVA Young Artists Program.Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology. 5 Effective results have been obtained from many of them.
A.The violin was built in two pieces using 3D printing.
B.Many instruments have been produced with a 3D printer before.
C.Indeed,even basic violins for students often cost $1,000 or more.
D.Most students have to give up learning the instrument due to the high cost.
E.Besides,the AVIVA violin is less damaged than its traditional wooden cousins.
F.3D-printed violins have been popular with beginners since they were invented.
G.The project is also to get violins to children that couldn’t otherwise afford them.
1.答案 C

2.答案 G
解析 上文“Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds...”讲述了该项目的目标,空处应承接上文,G项“该项目还旨在为那些买不起小提琴的孩子们提供小提琴”符合题意,讲述了该项目的另一个目标。故选G。
3.答案 A
解析 下文“The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to...while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance,much like a typical acoustic(原声的) violin.”讲述了琴颈和指板、琴身分别使用的材料,A项“这把小提琴是由3D打印出的两部分构成的”引出下文,选项中的“two pieces”对应下文中的“The neck and fingerboard”和“the violin’s body”。故选A。
4.答案 E
解析 上文“The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins.”讲述了3D打印出来的小提琴与常规小提琴之间的区别,此处应承接上文,讲述二者的其他差别,E项“此外,AVIVA小提琴比传统的木制小提琴更不易损坏”符合题意。故选E。
5.答案 B
解析 上文“Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology.”提到用3D打印技术生产的乐器并不止小提琴,空处应承接上文,讲述有其他乐器被打印,B项“之前有许多乐器都被用3D打印机生产过”符合题意。故选B。

1.答案 is known
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。此处为本句谓语动词,描述一般事实,用一般现在时;主语“the Sanjiangyuan area”和动词“know”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态;主语为单数,be动词用is。故填is known。
2.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。修饰名词“plateau wetland ecosystem”,表示泛指,应用不定冠词,且空后unique的发音为辅音音素开头。故填a。
3.答案 environmental
解析 考查形容词。分析句子成分可知,空处应用形容词作定语修饰空后的名词“degradation”。故填environmental。
4.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语,指代先行词degradation,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
5.答案 sharply
解析 考查副词。修饰动词“fall”用副词形式作状语,表示“急剧地”。故填sharply。

8.答案 compared
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语,compare和逻辑主语“Water conservation”之间存在被动关系,故用过去分词形式。故填compared。
9.答案 visitors
解析 考查名词复数。根据空后的“from home and abroad”可知,空处为名词的复数形式。故填visitors。
10.答案 looking
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语,look和逻辑主语“people”之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填looking。
