Colorful balloons floated near the ceiling, and a banner reading “Everyone’s Birthday!” hung across the doorway. Grant’s family set up activity stations: a craft corner for making party hats, a dance floor with disco lights, and even a “photo booth” with silly props. When the guests arrived, their faces lit up with wonder. Tommy ran to the craft table, clutching glitter glue, while Robert wheeled himself to the photo booth, donning oversized sunglasses. The usually reserved teens hesitantly joined the dance floor, soon laughing as Grant demonstrated his dance moves. The party was a huge success. By the end of the night, every guest had a handmade party hat and a photo tucked into their pockets. As SNR staff helped pack up, one remarked, “This is the first time I’ve seen so many of them laugh together.” Grant’s father pulled him aside, saying, “You actually gave them a memory they’ll treasure.” Grant smiled with happiness, watching Tommy cling to his new hat like a crown. Later, as he blew out the candles, he whispered a wish: May everyone feel as loved as they made me feel today. ！1 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二英语上学期开学模拟卷（四） 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：130分） 注意事项 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Do you want to make a good living from writing? Here is the good news. There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing, including book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “This subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says, “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand. Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. It has also opened his eyes to a vast range of writing on the platform, as he explains, “You can find amazing fiction (小说), non-fiction and some very interesting, intelligent people across all types of writing.” He has written forty-seven posts in less than a year, which is the most writing he has ever done. Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/ This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006 and its founders wanted readers to be able to download an app so they could read and chat about fiction shared by professional writers. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance, to fantasy, to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A. There are no advertisements on the platform. B. Most writers can make over $200 per month. C. It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D. A monthly subscription costs $5 and offers more content. 2. Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A. Edgar Smith. B. Simon Whaley. C. Nick Winney. D. Eliza-Mari Janse. 3. If you are devoted to story reading, which link will you most probably click? A. https://www.wattpad.com/ B. https://eslnewsstories.com/ C. https://medium.com/ D. https://substack.com/ 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章围绕Medium、Substack与Wattpad写作平台比较展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 1．细节理解题。根据Medium: https://medium.com/部分“You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more.(你可以免费注册Medium，也可以每月支付5美元成为订阅用户，解锁更多内容与功能)”可知，Medium月度订阅费为5美元，订阅后可阅览更多内容。 2．细节理解题。根据Medium: https://medium.com/部分“Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021 (Simon Whaley于2021年入驻该平台)”、“Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. (Edgar Smith在2012年创办了Medium平台)”、Substack: https://substack.com/部分“Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year (Nick Winney使用Substack平台已超过一年)”以及Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/部分“Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 (Eliza-Mari Janse从2017年开始使用Wattpad)”可知，Simon Whaley2021年入驻，Nick Winney使用一年多，Eliza-Mari Janse2017年开始使用，Edgar Smith是平台创立者而非普通使用者。因此，Nick Winney的平台使用经历最短。 3．细节理解题。根据Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/部分“This platform is all about stories. (这个平台专注于故事)”以及“It covers all sorts of writing, from romance, to fantasy, to historical. (平台涵盖各种类型的作品，从爱情、奇幻到历史小说应有尽有)”可知，专注阅读故事的人最可能点开https: //www.wattpad.com/。 B Bamboo farming is on the rise in Uganda. The strong and fast-growing crop is seen by the East African government as having real growth possibility. Along a 3-kilometer stretch of the river Rwizi, environment protection officers recently planted new bamboo seedlings (幼苗) and cleared room for last year’s survivors to grow. The river Rwizi is the most important river in western Uganda that includes the major city of Mbarara. A successful bamboo forest would protect the river against sand miners, farmers and others whose activities have long threatened it. “Once bamboo is established, it is almost like a net,” said Jeconious Musingwire. He is an environment officer, who is the project’s technical advisor. “The roots trap everything, including the surface runoff, and stabilize the weaknesses of the banks.” The Ugandan government has set a 10-year policy that calls for planting 300,000 hectares of bamboo. Most of it will be planted on private land by 2029 as part of wider reforestation efforts. A single bamboo pole brings in a little less than a dollar, so farmers need to grow a lot to earn enough. Bamboo promoters are urging them to see a bamboo plantation as the same kind of money-making crop as coffee or tea. Banks are offering bamboo “plantation capital” to clients, loans that allow them to plant large forests of bamboo. Bamboo plants are normally ready for harvesting in three to five years. A well-maintained plantation can be useful for at least 50 years, said Jacob, a crop production expert working with the large Kitara Farm. He said bamboo is easy to manage, and usually does not need spraying with pesticide (杀虫剂). Steve Tusiime owns a bamboo nursery. It has sold fewer than 10,000 seedlings in the past two years. But, Tusiime said, “Bamboo is going to be a game changer in Africa. You can eat bamboo, you can use it to build, create a bamboo industry, you can feed it to your animals, and it can take care of your land.” 4. What is the importance of planting bamboo according to Jeconious Musingwire? A. It helps improve the soil for crops. B. It is beneficial to the environment. C. It can be profitable for about 50 years. D. It is useful to develop the local economy. 5. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People in Uganda are showing interest in growing bamboo. B. Steve Tusiime makes much money with the bamboo nursery in growing bamboo. C. Bamboo industry will help people in Uganda make more money. D. Bamboo is helpful to reduce poverty and hunger in Africa. 6. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Bamboo forests can improve the environment B. Farmers can earn money by planting bamboo C. Uganda makes a 10-year plan on development D. Uganda makes great effort to plant bamboo 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of bamboo farming in Uganda? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．D 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕乌干达竹产业与可持续发展展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A successful bamboo forest would protect the river against sand miners, farmers and others whose activities have long threatened it. “Once bamboo is established, it is almost like a net,” said Jeconious Musingwire. He is an environment officer, who is the project’s technical advisor. “The roots trap everything, including the surface runoff, and stabilize the weaknesses of the banks.”(一片成功的竹林将保护河流免受采砂工、农民和其他人的破坏，这些人的活动长期以来对河流造成威胁。“一旦竹子被种植，它几乎就像一张网，”Jeconious Musingwire说。他是一名环境官员，也是该项目的技术顾问。“树根困住了一切，包括地表径流，还能稳固堤岸疏松的部分。”)”可知，Jeconious Musingwire认为竹子种植的重要性体现在对生态环境的保护作用。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段Steve Tusiime的话“Bamboo is going to be a game changer in Africa. You can eat bamboo, you can use it to build, create a bamboo industry, you can feed it to your animals, and it can take care of your land.(竹子将改变非洲的格局。你可以食用竹子，可以用竹子建房，可以打造竹子产业，还可以用它喂牲畜，同时它还能养护你的土地。)”可知，竹子产业用途广泛，能够带动乌干达发展，帮助当地人获得更多收入。 6．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“Bamboo farming is on the rise in Uganda.(乌干达的竹子种植正在兴起。)”可知，文章从乌干达兴起竹子种植说起，介绍了沿河种竹护林的行动、乌干达政府十年竹子种植规划，再到竹子种植的经济价值和发展前景，全文围绕乌干达大力发展竹子种植展开。D选项“乌干达大力种植竹子”最能概括本文主旨。 7．推理判断题。全文作者客观介绍了乌干达竹子种植的背景、生态作用、政府规划、经济价值和行业从业者对未来的展望，作者没有加入偏向性的主观评价，既没有肯定也没有否定竹子种植在乌干达的发展，因此作者的态度是中立的。 C Researchers at the University of Missouri are developing a new way to remove microplastics (微塑料) from water using specially engineered algae (藻类). Their goal is not only to clean waterways but also to recycle the collected plastic into safer bioplastic materials. “Microplastics are pollutants found almost everywhere in the environment, such as in rivers, wastewater and the fish that we consume,” said Dai, a professor in the College of Engineering and principal investigator at the Bond Life Sciences Center. “Currently, most wastewater treatment plants can only remove large pieces of plastic, but microplastics are so small that they slip through and end up in drinking water, polluting the environment and harming ecosystems.” In a recent study, Dai used genetic engineering to develop algae that produce limonene, a natural oil responsible for the familiar smell of oranges. The limonene changes the algae’s surface features, making it resist water. Since microplastics are also water resistant, the microplastic bits naturally stick to the algae when they meet in water. The process forms a thick biological layer that sinks to the bottom and can be collected and removed more easily. The algae also grow in wastewater, where they help clean the water during the process. “By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can address three issues with one approach,” Dai said. “While our research is still in the early stages, our eventual goal is to apply this new process to existing wastewater treatment plants, so cities can clean their water more effectively and reduce pollution at the same time.” Dai’s lab already grows algae inside large tank bioreactors (生物反应器). One system, a 100-liter bioreactor nicknamed “Shrek”, is currently used to process industrial waste gas to reduce air pollution. Looking ahead, Dai hopes to create larger versions of the Shrek system that could eventually be adapted for wastewater treatment and the removal of other pollutants. 8. What problem do most wastewater treatment plants have now? A. Microplastics end up in the plants. B. Microplastics escape during treatment. C. Large pieces of plastic slip through. D. Large pieces of plastic are unprocessed. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why limonene resists water. B. How the algae remove microplastics. C. Why microplastics stick together. D. How limonene changes algae’s surface. 10. Which of the following might the new approach help do? A. Absorb bioplastic from algae. B. Clean drinking water at home. C. Make bioplastic shopping bags. D. Remove plastics from beaches. 11. What can be learned about the bioreactor “Shrek”? A. It is too small to handle waste gas. B. It’s developed into a larger version. C. It currently removes microplastics. D. It has yet to deal with wastewater. 【答案】8．B 9．B 10．C 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕利用藻类清除污水中的微塑料展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Currently, most wastewater treatment plants can only remove large pieces of plastic, but microplastics are so small that they slip through and end up in drinking water, polluting the environment and harming ecosystems.(目前，大多数污水处理厂只能去除大块塑料，但微塑料体积太小，会渗漏出去，最终进入饮用水，污染环境并破坏生态系统)”可知，当前污水处理厂无法拦截体积微小的微塑料，微塑料会在处理过程中渗漏出去。 9．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“In a recent study, Dai used genetic engineering to develop algae that produce limonene, a natural oil responsible for the familiar smell of oranges. The limonene changes the algae’s surface features, making it resist water. Since microplastics are also water resistant, the microplastic bits naturally stick to the algae when they meet in water. The process forms a thick biological layer that sinks to the bottom and can be collected and removed more easily. The algae also grow in wastewater, where they help clean the water during the process.(在最近的一项研究中，Dai利用基因工程开发了产生柠檬烯的藻类，柠檬烯是产生橙子常见气味的一种天然油。柠檬烯改变了藻类的表面特征，使其能够抵抗水。由于微塑料也具有防水性，当它们在水中相遇时，微塑料碎片自然会粘在藻类上。该过程形成了一个厚厚的生物层，沉入底部，可以更容易地收集和去除。藻类也生长在废水中，在这个过程中它们有助于清洁水)”可知，本段依次介绍了改造后的藻类产生柠檬烯、柠檬烯改变藻类表面特性、微塑料会自然吸附在藻类上、吸附后形成可沉降收集的生物层，还可在污水中生长同步净化水质，主要说明了改造后的藻类如何去除微塑料。 10．推理判断题。根据第一段“Their goal is not only to clean waterways but also to recycle the collected plastic into safer bioplastic materials.(他们的目标不仅是清理水道，还要将收集到的塑料回收加工成更安全的生物塑料材料)”以及第四段“By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can address three issues with one approach(通过一劳永逸地去除微塑料、净化污水，最终将去除的微塑料用来生产生物塑料产品，我们可以用一种方法解决三个问题)”可知，这项新技术会将收集的微塑料加工为生物塑料产品，制作生物塑料购物袋符合这一应用方向。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“One system, a 100-liter bioreactor nicknamed “Shrek”, is currently used to process industrial waste gas to reduce air pollution. Looking ahead, Dai hopes to create larger versions of the Shrek system that could eventually be adapted for wastewater treatment and the removal of other pollutants.(一个容积100升、昵称“史莱克”的生物反应器系统目前被用于处理工业废气以减少空气污染。展望未来，Dai希望打造更大版本的史莱克系统，最终使其能够适配污水处理和去除其他污染物的工作)”可知，当前史莱克仅用于处理废气，还尚未承担污水处理工作。 D With advances in robotics and artificial intelligence continuing to surprise us, there probably is not a single industry being left untouched by these technologies. Though some believe that robots are dangerous for our society and could gradually make humans obsolete, the reality is far less dramatic. Today, tech companies are developing smart robots suitable for a variety of services. One such innovation comes from the French robot developer, Hease Robotics. The company’s robotic solution, called Heasy, can be used in shopping centres, train stations, or airports. This autonomous robot is designed to greet, inform and guide customers. Thanks to its smart AI algorithms (算法), the robot will navigate (穿行) safely through crowded environments without bumping into people or objects. The machine is battery-operated and can run for eight hours on a single charge. 85% of people who interacted with Heasy said they were satisfied with the service provided by the robot. The age of human-robot coexistence has come, and this doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. There are many ways we can turn this to our advantage. Take home robots, for example. The U.S. robotics firm Anki has created a robot called Vector to add fun to our daily routines. Vector is a small, autonomous companion equipped with a camera and machine learning tech. The robot won’t sweep your floors or take out the garbage. It will, however, serve as an adorable (讨人喜爱的) addition to your household. If you’ve always wanted to have a pet, but weren’t allowed to own any, then Vector might be the right solution. When you call the robot, Vector will activate and turn to you, carefully listening for commands. You can simply ask for a weather forecast and the robot will respond in a second. And in case you forget to charge it, the robot will go to its charging dock by itself. Both AI and robotics have come a long way. Robots are becoming smarter, and while people still have mixed feelings about this technology, the truth is that we can’t go back. Instead of fearing these innovations, we should accept them — after all, there isn’t much we can do to prevent the ongoing advancement of technology. 12. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Outdated. B. Comfortable. C. Ashamed. D. Knowledgeable. 13. What do we know about Heasy? A. It can charge up all by itself. B. It works eight hours every day. C. It is popular with shopping assistants. D. It can work in a crowded environment. 14. What is Vector mainly used for? A. Cleaning houses. B. Teaching children. C. Looking after pets. D. Entertaining people. 15. How does the author look at the development of AI and robotics? A. Critically. B. Cautiously. C. Objectively. D. Doubtfully. 【答案】12．A 13．D 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章围绕服务机器人Heasy与家庭机器人Vector展开，作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。 【解析】 12．词句猜测题。根据第一段“With advances in robotics and artificial intelligence continuing to surprise us, there probably is not a single industry being left untouched by these technologies. Though some believe that robots are dangerous for our society and could gradually make humans obsolete, the reality is far less dramatic.(随着机器人技术和人工智能的进步继续让我们感到惊讶，可能没有一个行业不受这些技术的影响。尽管一些人认为机器人会给社会带来危害，还会逐渐让人类变得obsolete，现实情况远没有这般夸张。)”可知，人们担忧人类会被机器人淘汰，可推测obsolete表示“被淘汰的，过时的”，与A选项“Outdated(过时的，被淘汰的)”词义一致。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Thanks to its smart AI algorithms (算法), the robot will navigate (穿行) safely through crowded environments without bumping into people or objects.(得益于其智能AI算法，该机器人可以在拥挤环境中安全穿行，不会撞到人或物品。)”可知，Heasy能够在拥挤的环境中工作。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段“The U.S. robotics firm Anki has created a robot called Vector to add fun to our daily routines.(美国机器人公司Anki研发了机器人Vector，为日常生活增添乐趣。)”可知，Vector主要用于娱乐、陪伴人们。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Both AI and robotics have come a long way. Robots are becoming smarter, and while people still have mixed feelings about this technology, the truth is that we can’t go back. Instead of fearing these innovations, we should accept them — after all, there isn’t much we can do to prevent the ongoing advancement of technology.(人工智能和机器人技术都已经取得了长足发展，机器人也变得越来越智能，尽管人们对这项技术看法不一，但现实是我们已经没有回头路可走。我们不必惧怕创新，应当接纳它们，技术发展的趋势无法阻挡。)”可知，作者既提到大众对机器人技术的不同看法，又理性阐述技术发展不可逆、应主动接纳，态度客观中立。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life.____16____Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you.____17____Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ____18____In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom.____19____ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call.____20____While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 【答案】16．E 17．D 18．A 19．F 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇方法指导类说明文。文章围绕在交流中正确理解并运用肢体语言展开，设空主要考查段落结构、逻辑衔接和指代关系。 【解析】 16．由上文“As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. (作为社交生物，我们自然地将肢体语言解释为现实生活中情绪或意图的表达。)”及下文“Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. (以下是四个肢体语言方面的考虑，它们将在视频通话中给你带来更大的数字影响力。)”可知，本空应连接现实生活中的肢体语言和虚拟世界中的肢体语言，表明两者都适用。E选项“This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. (这也适用于我们带有常见视频通话的虚拟工作环境。)”能够很好地起到这个连接作用，说明肢体语言在现实生活和虚拟世界中都有重要意义。故选E。 17．由上文“The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. (你保持自己的方式会影响别人对你的看法。)”及下文“Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. (同样，瘫倒在沙发上会传达出对任务不认真的态度。)”可知，本空与下文一样，应用一个具体的例子来说明肢体语言如何影响他人对你的看法。D选项“For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. (例如，双臂交叉可能意味着防御或恼怒。)”提供了一个具体的肢体语言例子，能够很好地支持上文观点，并引出下文类似的例子，符合题意。故选D。 18．由下文“In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. (在视频通话中，你需要意识到少即是多。太多的手部动作会在小屏幕上分散注意力——人们需要时间来消化他们听到的内容。)”可知，本空需强调重视视频通话中手部动作。A选项“Master the art of employing gestures. (掌握运用手势的艺术。)”说明在视频通话中如何恰当地使用手势，能引出下文，符合题意。故选A。 19．由上文“But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. (但在视频会议中，当你出现“面无表情综合征”时，要传达出你一直在注意听是很具挑战性的——这种面部表情会被别人解读为无聊。)”可知，本空应提出解决“面无表情综合征”的建议。F选项“To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. (为了避免这种情况，记得偶尔点头、微笑和向前倾。)”提供了一个具体的解决方法，能够很好地应对上文提到的问题，符合题意。故选F。 20．由上文“Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. (保持专注和积极——不要同时处理多项任务。加入视频通话时，不要查看电子邮件或处理其他工作任务。)”可知，本空应强调在视频通话中不要分心。C选项“Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. (即使你保持沉默，别人也能看出你在做什么。)”虽然字面上没有直接提到不要分心，但暗示了在视频通话中你的行为（如查看邮件或处理其他任务）是会被别人观察到的，从而强调了不要分心的重要性，符合题意。故选C。 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ryan would never forget the smoke-clouded sky of 2018.

While many teenagers focused on video games and social media, Grant found joy in helping others. His compassionate nature stemmed from the countless hours he spent with his father volunteering at the Specialized Needs recreation (SNR) center in their hometown of Boise, Idaho. As Grant’s seventeenth birthday approached, his parents noticed he seemed deep in thought. One evening at dinner, his mother asked what he was thinking about. Grant looked up from his plate and said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking about my birthday. Instead of having my usual party with just our family and close friends, I want to do something special.” His parents exchanged curious glances. “What do you have in mind, sweetheart?” his father asked gently. Grant’s eyes brightened as he explained his idea. “I want to invite everyone at the SNR center to celebrate with me. Many of them have never been to a birthday party before, and I think everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday.” His mother’s face softened with emotion. “That’s a beautiful idea, Grant. But are you sure? It might be a big crowd.” “I’m sure,” Grant replied firmly. “They always smile when we visit, and they’ve taught me so much about happiness and friendship.” The next weekend, Grant and his father visited the center to extend the invitations. Grant also spoke to the staff at SNR, explaining his plan. They were thrilled and offered to help with the preparations. One by one, Grant approached each person at the center. Eight-year-old Tommy, who rarely spoke, managed to whisper “thank you” with a huge smile. Middle-aged Robert, who used a wheelchair, wiped away tears of gratitude. Even the shy teenagers who usually kept to themselves began chatting excitedly about the upcoming celebration. 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。 As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The party was a huge success. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【导语】本文讲述Grant长期在特殊需要人士活动中心做志愿服务。十七岁生日临近时，他决定邀请中心的所有朋友来家中参加生日聚会，让每个人都感受到被重视和关爱。续写应围绕聚会布置、来宾参与活动、聚会成功及Grant的感悟展开。 【详解】 As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland. Colorful balloons floated near the ceiling, and a banner reading “Everyone’s Birthday!” hung across the doorway. Grant’s family set up activity stations: a craft corner for making party hats, a dance floor with disco lights, and even a “photo booth” with silly props. When the guests arrived, their faces lit up with wonder. Tommy ran to the craft table, clutching glitter glue, while Robert wheeled himself to the photo booth, donning oversized sunglasses. The usually reserved teens hesitantly joined the dance floor, soon laughing as Grant demonstrated his dance moves. The party was a huge success. By the end of the night, every guest had a handmade party hat and a photo tucked into their pockets. As SNR staff helped pack up, one remarked, “This is the first time I’ve seen so many of them laugh together.” Grant’s father pulled him aside, saying, “You actually gave them a memory they’ll treasure.” Grant smiled with happiness, watching Tommy cling to his new hat like a crown. Later, as he blew out the candles, he whispered a wish: May everyone feel as loved as they made me feel today. 【词汇积累】 a festive wonderland 节日般的欢乐天地 faces lit up with wonder 脸上露出惊喜 a memory they’ll treasure 一段值得珍藏的回忆 【高分句型】 When the guests arrived, their faces lit up with wonder. 结构分析：When引导时间状语从句；主句为their faces lit up，with wonder作伴随状态补充。 亮点：用简洁的动作和神态描写呈现来宾的惊喜，推动聚会情节自然展开。 Grant smiled with happiness, watching Tommy cling to his new hat like a crown. 结构分析：主干为Grant smiled；watching为现在分词短语作伴随状语；cling to为宾语补足情景，like a crown构成明喻。 亮点：分词结构增强画面连续性，明喻突出孩子对礼物的珍爱并深化关爱主题。 ！1 1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二英语上学期开学模拟卷（四） 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：130分） 注意事项 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Do you want to make a good living from writing? Here is the good news. There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing, including book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “This subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says, “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand. Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. It has also opened his eyes to a vast range of writing on the platform, as he explains, “You can find amazing fiction (小说), non-fiction and some very interesting, intelligent people across all types of writing.” He has written forty-seven posts in less than a year, which is the most writing he has ever done. Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/ This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006 and its founders wanted readers to be able to download an app so they could read and chat about fiction shared by professional writers. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance, to fantasy, to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A. There are no advertisements on the platform. B. Most writers can make over $200 per month. C. It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D. A monthly subscription costs $5 and offers more content. 2. Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A. Edgar Smith. B. Simon Whaley. C. Nick Winney. D. Eliza-Mari Janse. 3. If you are devoted to story reading, which link will you most probably click? A. https://www.wattpad.com/ B. https://eslnewsstories.com/ C. https://medium.com/ D. https://substack.com/ B Bamboo farming is on the rise in Uganda. The strong and fast-growing crop is seen by the East African government as having real growth possibility. Along a 3-kilometer stretch of the river Rwizi, environment protection officers recently planted new bamboo seedlings (幼苗) and cleared room for last year’s survivors to grow. The river Rwizi is the most important river in western Uganda that includes the major city of Mbarara. A successful bamboo forest would protect the river against sand miners, farmers and others whose activities have long threatened it. “Once bamboo is established, it is almost like a net,” said Jeconious Musingwire. He is an environment officer, who is the project’s technical advisor. “The roots trap everything, including the surface runoff, and stabilize the weaknesses of the banks.” The Ugandan government has set a 10-year policy that calls for planting 300,000 hectares of bamboo. Most of it will be planted on private land by 2029 as part of wider reforestation efforts. A single bamboo pole brings in a little less than a dollar, so farmers need to grow a lot to earn enough. Bamboo promoters are urging them to see a bamboo plantation as the same kind of money-making crop as coffee or tea. Banks are offering bamboo “plantation capital” to clients, loans that allow them to plant large forests of bamboo. Bamboo plants are normally ready for harvesting in three to five years. A well-maintained plantation can be useful for at least 50 years, said Jacob, a crop production expert working with the large Kitara Farm. He said bamboo is easy to manage, and usually does not need spraying with pesticide (杀虫剂). Steve Tusiime owns a bamboo nursery. It has sold fewer than 10,000 seedlings in the past two years. But, Tusiime said, “Bamboo is going to be a game changer in Africa. You can eat bamboo, you can use it to build, create a bamboo industry, you can feed it to your animals, and it can take care of your land.” 4. What is the importance of planting bamboo according to Jeconious Musingwire? A. It helps improve the soil for crops. B. It is beneficial to the environment. C. It can be profitable for about 50 years. D. It is useful to develop the local economy. 5. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People in Uganda are showing interest in growing bamboo. B. Steve Tusiime makes much money with the bamboo nursery in growing bamboo. C. Bamboo industry will help people in Uganda make more money. D. Bamboo is helpful to reduce poverty and hunger in Africa. 6. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Bamboo forests can improve the environment B. Farmers can earn money by planting bamboo C. Uganda makes a 10-year plan on development D. Uganda makes great effort to plant bamboo 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of bamboo farming in Uganda? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. C Researchers at the University of Missouri are developing a new way to remove microplastics (微塑料) from water using specially engineered algae (藻类). Their goal is not only to clean waterways but also to recycle the collected plastic into safer bioplastic materials. “Microplastics are pollutants found almost everywhere in the environment, such as in rivers, wastewater and the fish that we consume,” said Dai, a professor in the College of Engineering and principal investigator at the Bond Life Sciences Center. “Currently, most wastewater treatment plants can only remove large pieces of plastic, but microplastics are so small that they slip through and end up in drinking water, polluting the environment and harming ecosystems.” In a recent study, Dai used genetic engineering to develop algae that produce limonene, a natural oil responsible for the familiar smell of oranges. The limonene changes the algae’s surface features, making it resist water. Since microplastics are also water resistant, the microplastic bits naturally stick to the algae when they meet in water. The process forms a thick biological layer that sinks to the bottom and can be collected and removed more easily. The algae also grow in wastewater, where they help clean the water during the process. “By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can address three issues with one approach,” Dai said. “While our research is still in the early stages, our eventual goal is to apply this new process to existing wastewater treatment plants, so cities can clean their water more effectively and reduce pollution at the same time.” Dai’s lab already grows algae inside large tank bioreactors (生物反应器). One system, a 100-liter bioreactor nicknamed “Shrek”, is currently used to process industrial waste gas to reduce air pollution. Looking ahead, Dai hopes to create larger versions of the Shrek system that could eventually be adapted for wastewater treatment and the removal of other pollutants. 8. What problem do most wastewater treatment plants have now? A. Microplastics end up in the plants. B. Microplastics escape during treatment. C. Large pieces of plastic slip through. D. Large pieces of plastic are unprocessed. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why limonene resists water. B. How the algae remove microplastics. C. Why microplastics stick together. D. How limonene changes algae’s surface. 10. Which of the following might the new approach help do? A. Absorb bioplastic from algae. B. Clean drinking water at home. C. Make bioplastic shopping bags. D. Remove plastics from beaches. 11. What can be learned about the bioreactor “Shrek”? A. It is too small to handle waste gas. B. It’s developed into a larger version. C. It currently removes microplastics. D. It has yet to deal with wastewater. D With advances in robotics and artificial intelligence continuing to surprise us, there probably is not a single industry being left untouched by these technologies. Though some believe that robots are dangerous for our society and could gradually make humans obsolete, the reality is far less dramatic. Today, tech companies are developing smart robots suitable for a variety of services. One such innovation comes from the French robot developer, Hease Robotics. The company’s robotic solution, called Heasy, can be used in shopping centres, train stations, or airports. This autonomous robot is designed to greet, inform and guide customers. Thanks to its smart AI algorithms (算法), the robot will navigate (穿行) safely through crowded environments without bumping into people or objects. The machine is battery-operated and can run for eight hours on a single charge. 85% of people who interacted with Heasy said they were satisfied with the service provided by the robot. The age of human-robot coexistence has come, and this doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. There are many ways we can turn this to our advantage. Take home robots, for example. The U.S. robotics firm Anki has created a robot called Vector to add fun to our daily routines. Vector is a small, autonomous companion equipped with a camera and machine learning tech. The robot won’t sweep your floors or take out the garbage. It will, however, serve as an adorable (讨人喜爱的) addition to your household. If you’ve always wanted to have a pet, but weren’t allowed to own any, then Vector might be the right solution. When you call the robot, Vector will activate and turn to you, carefully listening for commands. You can simply ask for a weather forecast and the robot will respond in a second. And in case you forget to charge it, the robot will go to its charging dock by itself. Both AI and robotics have come a long way. Robots are becoming smarter, and while people still have mixed feelings about this technology, the truth is that we can’t go back. Instead of fearing these innovations, we should accept them — after all, there isn’t much we can do to prevent the ongoing advancement of technology. 12.

Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you.____17____Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ____18____In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom.____19____ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call.____20____While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ryan would never forget the smoke-clouded sky of 2018.

While many teenagers focused on video games and social media, Grant found joy in helping others. His compassionate nature stemmed from the countless hours he spent with his father volunteering at the Specialized Needs recreation (SNR) center in their hometown of Boise, Idaho. As Grant’s seventeenth birthday approached, his parents noticed he seemed deep in thought. One evening at dinner, his mother asked what he was thinking about. Grant looked up from his plate and said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking about my birthday. Instead of having my usual party with just our family and close friends, I want to do something special.” His parents exchanged curious glances. “What do you have in mind, sweetheart?” his father asked gently. Grant’s eyes brightened as he explained his idea. “I want to invite everyone at the SNR center to celebrate with me. Many of them have never been to a birthday party before, and I think everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday.” His mother’s face softened with emotion. “That’s a beautiful idea, Grant. But are you sure? It might be a big crowd.” “I’m sure,” Grant replied firmly. “They always smile when we visit, and they’ve taught me so much about happiness and friendship.” The next weekend, Grant and his father visited the center to extend the invitations. Grant also spoke to the staff at SNR, explaining his plan. They were thrilled and offered to help with the preparations. One by one, Grant approached each person at the center. Eight-year-old Tommy, who rarely spoke, managed to whisper “thank you” with a huge smile. Middle-aged Robert, who used a wheelchair, wiped away tears of gratitude. Even the shy teenagers who usually kept to themselves began chatting excitedly about the upcoming celebration. 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。 As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The party was a huge success. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ！/ 101/ 10 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
