B Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto Gael Hernandez, from Brownsville, Texas, is busy running his own 3D printing business and dreaming of buying his mom a house someday. What began as a fun way to make custom keychains for classmates has quickly grown into a successful small business. Based in his home workshop, Ernesto creates various customized items, such as keychains, whistles, can openers and stress-relief toys for people with anxiety and ADHD (多动症). This idea first took shape several months ago, when he told his mother that he wanted to buy a 3D printer. Instead of simply buying him a machine, she encouraged him to work and save for it himself. He saved $500 from chores to buy his first printer. It was then that he came up with the idea of making money from 3D printing, thus launching his brand, Prestige 3D Labs. He even taught himself to create custom designs by watching online tutorials (教程). Business has grown fast. He has earned around $1,500 in profit so far and demand became so strong that he partnered with a local Brownsville clothing store called Jungle to help sell his creations. Now, three printers run regularly to keep up with orders coming in. Despite business success, Ernesto sticks to a tight schedule to balance his business, schoolwork and football training. With printing tasks arranged early in the morning, during school days and before practice, he succeeds in running his business steadily. For Ernesto’s mother, Samantha Quezada, the business has become more than just a way for her son to earn money. “It’s a little bit stressful, but honestly I enjoy we get to do it together,” Quezada said. “It is part of our quality time.” But for Ernesto, his motivation is surprisingly heartfelt. “I just like doing it because I want to invest in a house for my mom when I grow older,” Ernesto said. 24. What does Ernesto’s 3D printing business mainly do? A. It prints keychains for classmates. B. It produces daily household items. C. It creates a range of mood-lifting products. D. It tailors various products to customers’ needs. 25. What inspired Ernesto to start his business? A. His dream of buying a house for his mother. B. His experience of saving money to buy the printer. C. The decision to make keychains for his classmates. D. The high profit from selling all kinds of small products. 26. Which of the following can best describe Ernesto? A. Ambitious and organized. B. Caring and generous. C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Adventurous and creative. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Hard Work Creates a Teen’s Success B. Business Builds Close Family Bonds C. 3D Skills Open a Whole New World D. 3D Printing Shapes a Teen’s Dream House C Insect-size drones are too small to carry around complex navigation systems. To help tiny autonomous fliers find their way home, researchers are taking their clues from honeybees with the Bee-Nav, described today in Nature. A honeybee leaving the hive first takes a short learning flight to memorize nearby landmarks, explains the study’s lead author Guido de Croon. As a bee flies away, “it keeps track of the direction and speed of its movement,” de Croon says, in a process called path integration. Because path integration tends to gather tiny measurement errors over time, the insect relies on the memorized landmarks to correct its course as it gets back home. De Croon and his colleagues copied this workflow. A drone performs a learning flight, capturing scenery with a camera. It trains a neural (神经的) network to map images to homes, creating a safe zone. Using path integration, it returns, if within the zone, the network guides it home. The Bee-Nav does this using a computer the size of a credit card that runs neural nets with between 3.4 and 42.3 kilobytes (千字节) of memory — thousands of times less than conventional mapping setups use. “What I find especially exciting is how little computation is needed. This is the kind of approach that makes serious outdoor arrangements possible.” says Sarah Bergbreiter, a mechanical engineer. De Croon’s team is still working out a few challenges for the platform. “Platforms running Bee-Nav will also need local barrier avoidance and planning capability if the environment is crowded or dynamic,” says Sean Humbert, a mechanical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder, who was not involved in the study. But even now, de Croon says, the Bee-Nav can make autonomous, outdoor drones smaller and more power-efficient. “We could easily put it on a 50-gram, even 30-gram drone,” de Croon claims. Scaling autonomous drones further down to the size of actual bees, he notes, would require solving other fundamental problems like contracting batteries. “But we hope when these problems are solved in the long term, we will have the intelligence ready to match that,” de Croon says. 28. What is the purpose of the research on Bee-Nav? A. To copy bees’daily flight workflow. B. To adjust the overall size of micro drones. C. To facilitate the navigation of tiny drones. D. To improve drones’load-carrying performance. 29. Why does the author describe the bee’s navigation before introducing Bee-Nav? A. To show how bees learn to fly around their hive. B. To prove tiny drones have trouble with navigation. C. To show that bees are more intelligent than drones. D. To explain the biological inspiration behind the Bee-Nav. 30. What is Sarah Bergbreiter’s attitude towards Bee-Nav? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Interested. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Drones as small as real bees are already widely used outdoors. B. The navigation technology for tiny drones still needs further tests. C. Bee-Nav is designed specifically for 30-gram to 50-gram drones. D. It is tough to make batteries smaller for bee-sized drones currently. D Nick Epley was commuting (通勤) to work at the University of Chicago when he looked across the train and wondered: Why are all these people sitting side by side ignoring each other? Epley, a professor of behavioral science, thought about how very lonely people are, and he challenged himself to strike up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. It changed his life — and led him to write the book A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health and Connection. After reading it, I decided to try the experiment myself. I’ve always been a fairly outgoing person, but the idea of talking to strangers and befriending acquaintances still made me feel anxious. I asked Epley whether he ever felt that fear, too. “I still do sometimes, but it dulls a lot,” Epley said. Of course, it isn’t always advisable to talk to strangers. Epley said you should never do so if you feel unsafe. But in dozens of studies involving more than 30,000 people, he and other researchers have found that people are happier when they are more social, even if they consider themselves introverts (内向人), or fear that reaching out to another person will be embarrassing. In one study, Epley found that after having a conversation with a stranger, people predict that a future conversation with another stranger will be more enjoyable. But that effect fades pretty quickly. “It’s not like you go out and have a nice conversation with somebody in the elevator and the anxiety disappears,” Epley said. The main reason people feel uneasy about socializing, he said, is that we focus on the wrong thing. We worry about what we’ll say rather than how we’ll say it. This was certainly true for me. I worried more about whether I would remember a neighbor’s name than I did about whether I would seem kind. But the research shows that if I’m warm and outgoing, it doesn’t really matter that much what I say. If you’re friendly first, that will probably be returned. 32. What did the conversation with the woman serve as for Nick? A. A reminder of friendship. B. An inspiration for a book. C. A source of happiness. D. An introduction to a new world. 33. What does the underlined word “dulls” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Weakens. B. Ends. C. Grows. D. Exists. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. The research result does not apply to introverts. B. The positive effect of chatting with strangers lasts forever. C. People often fail to remember what to say when facing strangers. D. The author also focused on the wrong thing when talking to strangers. 35. What might the author agree with? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Loose lips sink ships. C. A still tongue makes a wise head. D. Action speaks louder than words. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Good organizations need teams that are high-performing and can communicate clearly.

His fingers touched a folded (折叠的) two-dollar bill in his pocket, soft and worn at the edges. It was all he had saved from his allowance, hoping to do something good for the sick kids in Primary Children’s Hospital, but visiting hours ended, and the bill stayed folded. The chance never came back. An old paper on a light post caught his eye. A picture showed cups steaming on a table. “Hot Chocolate Stand,” the words read. “All money goes to Primary Children’s Hospital.” Trevor stopped. He read it twice. The hospital name matched the sign behind him. He felt the chance had come back. He took the paper down and folded it carefully. The next Saturday, he found the small stand at the street corner. A friendly girl was busy making hot chocolate, her breath white in the cold air. The sweet smell of cocoa and sugar filled the street. A small crowd had gathered, cups in hand, faces warm. Trevor walked closer, the paper in his hand. A small box on the table said “Donations”. Trevor’s stomach began to make noises. He looked at his two dollars, then at the box. A warm meal, or a warm deed? He pushed the bill back into his pocket. “I saw your poster,” he said. The girl looked up, her eyes tired but kind. “First one’s free, if you help,” she said, handing him a cup. Trevor took it, warming his hands. He spoke softly about the good deed he had wanted to do, and the bill still folded in his pocket. She listened, nodding, pouring chocolate for the next customer. The line grew longer. The girl moved between the pot and the customers, her hands never still. He looked at the girl, then at the busy stand. “I could help,” he said softly. 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。 Paragraph 1: The girl looked up, her eyes meeting his. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the last customer left, Trevor dropped his bill into the box. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省淮安市2025-2026学年度第二学期期末高二调研测试 《英语》试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡 上。 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。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will Margy do next?

I hope you’re all feeling OK after the activities last week. I know you’ve all been working hard recently, especially with the wedding last weekend and the trade fair straight after that. And now we have only three days to prepare for the birthday party this weekend. At the moment, we don’t have exact numbers of guests, and though we usually receive groups of less than fifty, we will have quite a few more than that, but we won’t go over the maximum of 100. So, what time will the event start? Well, the invitation says guests should arrive between 7:30 and 7:45, but our experience is that there are always a few who like to arrive early, so we’ll expect the first people at 7:15. As the numbers are quite large, this will certainly be the case. Food will be served at around 8:30, and then, depending on how long the meal takes, the entertainment will start about two hours later. So, let’s get started on the preparations. I’ll have the detailed assignments sent out within an hour. Thanks, everyone, and let’s make this another memorable celebration. 第二部分 阅读理解 (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，选出最佳答案。 A The 2026 Ocean Awareness Contest The ocean benefits humans greatly by providing food, regulating (调节) global climate and offering creative inspiration.

What began as a fun way to make custom keychains for classmates has quickly grown into a successful small business. Based in his home workshop, Ernesto creates various customized items, such as keychains, whistles, can openers and stress-relief toys for people with anxiety and ADHD (多动症). This idea first took shape several months ago, when he told his mother that he wanted to buy a 3D printer. Instead of simply buying him a machine, she encouraged him to work and save for it himself. He saved $500 from chores to buy his first printer. It was then that he came up with the idea of making money from 3D printing, thus launching his brand, Prestige 3D Labs. He even taught himself to create custom designs by watching online tutorials (教程). Business has grown fast. He has earned around $1,500 in profit so far and demand became so strong that he partnered with a local Brownsville clothing store called Jungle to help sell his creations. Now, three printers run regularly to keep up with orders coming in. Despite business success, Ernesto sticks to a tight schedule to balance his business, schoolwork and football training. With printing tasks arranged early in the morning, during school days and before practice, he succeeds in running his business steadily. For Ernesto’s mother, Samantha Quezada, the business has become more than just a way for her son to earn money. “It’s a little bit stressful, but honestly I enjoy we get to do it together,” Quezada said. “It is part of our quality time.” But for Ernesto, his motivation is surprisingly heartfelt. “I just like doing it because I want to invest in a house for my mom when I grow older,” Ernesto said. 24. What does Ernesto’s 3D printing business mainly do? A. It prints keychains for classmates. B. It produces daily household items. C. It creates a range of mood-lifting products. D. It tailors various products to customers’ needs. 25. What inspired Ernesto to start his business? A. His dream of buying a house for his mother. B. His experience of saving money to buy the printer. C. The decision to make keychains for his classmates. D. The high profit from selling all kinds of small products. 26. Which of the following can best describe Ernesto? A. Ambitious and organized. B. Caring and generous. C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Adventurous and creative. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Hard Work Creates a Teen’s Success B. Business Builds Close Family Bonds C. 3D Skills Open a Whole New World D. 3D Printing Shapes a Teen’s Dream House 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位10岁男孩Ernesto通过自学3D打印技术成功创业，并梦想以此赚钱为母亲买房的励志故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Based in his home workshop, Ernesto creates various customized items, such as keychains, whistles, can openers and stress-relief toys for people with anxiety and ADHD (多动症). (在家中的工作室里，Ernesto制作各种定制物品，例如钥匙链、哨子、开瓶器，以及为患有焦虑症和多动症人群设计的减压玩具)”可知，他的业务主要是根据客户需求定制各种产品。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He saved $500 from chores to buy his first printer. It was then that he came up with the idea of making money from 3D printing, thus launching his brand, Prestige 3D Labs. (他通过做家务攒下500美元买了第一台打印机。就在那时，他萌生了通过3D打印赚钱的想法，从而推出了他的品牌Prestige 3D Labs)”可知，激发他创业的直接原因是他通过自己攒钱买打印机的经历。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Despite business success, Ernesto sticks to a tight schedule to balance his business, schoolwork and football training. With printing tasks arranged early in the morning, during school days and before practice, he succeeds in running his business steadily. (尽管生意成功，Ernesto仍坚持严格的日程安排，以平衡他的生意、学业和足球训练。通过在清晨、上学日和训练前安排打印任务，他成功地稳定经营着自己的生意)”可知，他勤奋且有条理；再根据最后一段““I just like doing it because I want to invest in a house for my mom when I grow older,” Ernesto said. (Ernesto说：“我只是喜欢做这件事，因为我想长大后给妈妈投资买一套房子。”)”可知，他非常有抱负。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto Gael Hernandez, from Brownsville, Texas, is busy running his own 3D printing business and dreaming of buying his mom a house someday. (大多数10岁的孩子都把空闲时间花在玩电子游戏上，但来自德克萨斯州布朗斯维尔的Ernesto Gael Hernandez正忙着经营自己的3D打印生意，并梦想有一天给妈妈买一套房子)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述Ernesto利用3D打印技术创业，并努力实现为母亲买房的梦想，因此“3D打印塑造青少年梦想中的房子”最能概括全文，适合作为文章标题。 C Insect-size drones are too small to carry around complex navigation systems. To help tiny autonomous fliers find their way home, researchers are taking their clues from honeybees with the Bee-Nav, described today in Nature. A honeybee leaving the hive first takes a short learning flight to memorize nearby landmarks, explains the study’s lead author Guido de Croon. As a bee flies away, “it keeps track of the direction and speed of its movement,” de Croon says, in a process called path integration. Because path integration tends to gather tiny measurement errors over time, the insect relies on the memorized landmarks to correct its course as it gets back home. De Croon and his colleagues copied this workflow. A drone performs a learning flight, capturing scenery with a camera. It trains a neural (神经的) network to map images to homes, creating a safe zone. Using path integration, it returns, if within the zone, the network guides it home. The Bee-Nav does this using a computer the size of a credit card that runs neural nets with between 3.4 and 42.3 kilobytes (千字节) of memory — thousands of times less than conventional mapping setups use. “What I find especially exciting is how little computation is needed. This is the kind of approach that makes serious outdoor arrangements possible.” says Sarah Bergbreiter, a mechanical engineer. De Croon’s team is still working out a few challenges for the platform. “Platforms running Bee-Nav will also need local barrier avoidance and planning capability if the environment is crowded or dynamic,” says Sean Humbert, a mechanical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder, who was not involved in the study. But even now, de Croon says, the Bee-Nav can make autonomous, outdoor drones smaller and more power-efficient. “We could easily put it on a 50-gram, even 30-gram drone,” de Croon claims. Scaling autonomous drones further down to the size of actual bees, he notes, would require solving other fundamental problems like contracting batteries. “But we hope when these problems are solved in the long term, we will have the intelligence ready to match that,” de Croon says. 28. What is the purpose of the research on Bee-Nav? A. To copy bees’daily flight workflow. B. To adjust the overall size of micro drones. C. To facilitate the navigation of tiny drones. D. To improve drones’load-carrying performance. 29. Why does the author describe the bee’s navigation before introducing Bee-Nav? A. To show how bees learn to fly around their hive. B. To prove tiny drones have trouble with navigation. C. To show that bees are more intelligent than drones. D. To explain the biological inspiration behind the Bee-Nav. 30. What is Sarah Bergbreiter’s attitude towards Bee-Nav? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Interested. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Drones as small as real bees are already widely used outdoors. B. The navigation technology for tiny drones still needs further tests. C. Bee-Nav is designed specifically for 30-gram to 50-gram drones. D. It is tough to make batteries smaller for bee-sized drones currently. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科研团队受蜜蜂导航机制启发，开发出了适用于昆虫级微型无人机的低功耗导航系统Bee-Nav，该系统大幅降低了导航所需的计算量，为微型无人机户外自主飞行提供了可能，同时也指出目前该技术仍存在需要进一步突破的方向。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Insect-size drones are too small to carry around complex navigation systems. To help tiny autonomous fliers find their way home, researchers are taking their clues from honeybees with the Bee-Nav, described today in Nature. (昆虫大小的无人机体积太小，无法携带复杂的导航系统。为了帮助微型自主飞行器找到回家的路，研究人员从蜜蜂身上获得线索，研发了Bee-Nav，这在《自然》期刊上有所描述。)”可知，研究Bee-Nav的目的是帮助微型无人机解决导航问题，为微型无人机的导航提供便利。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A honeybee leaving the hive first takes a short learning flight to memorize nearby landmarks, explains the study’s lead author Guido de Croon. As a bee flies away, “it keeps track of the direction and speed of its movement,” de Croon says, in a process called path integration. Because path integration tends to gather tiny measurement errors over time, the insect relies on the memorized landmarks to correct its course as it gets back home. (该研究的主要作者Guido de Croon解释说，一只离开蜂巢的蜜蜂首先会进行短暂的学习飞行，以记住附近的地标。de Croon说，当蜜蜂飞走时，“它会跟踪自己运动的方向和速度”，这一过程称为路径积分。因为随着时间的推移，路径积分往往会积累微小的测量误差，所以昆虫在回家时依靠记忆中的地标来纠正其路线。)”可知，第二段介绍蜜蜂依靠路径积分结合记忆地标校正路线的导航机制，再根据第三段中“De Croon and his colleagues copied this workflow. (de Croon和他的同事复刻了这一工作流程。)”可推知，作者在介绍Bee-Nav前描述蜜蜂的导航方式，是为了解释Bee-Nav的生物学灵感来源。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Sarah Bergbreiter的话“What I find especially exciting is how little computation is needed. This is the kind of approach that makes serious outdoor arrangements possible. (让我特别兴奋的是它只需要极少的计算量。这种方法让大规模户外部署成为了可能。)”可知，Sarah对Bee-Nav持支持赞赏的态度。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scaling autonomous drones further down to the size of actual bees, he notes, would require solving other fundamental problems like contracting batteries. (他指出，要将自主无人机进一步缩小到真实蜜蜂的大小，还需要解决电池小型化这类基础问题。)”可推知，目前给蜜蜂大小的无人机制造体积足够小的电池还是一件很困难的事。 D Nick Epley was commuting (通勤) to work at the University of Chicago when he looked across the train and wondered: Why are all these people sitting side by side ignoring each other? Epley, a professor of behavioral science, thought about how very lonely people are, and he challenged himself to strike up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. It changed his life — and led him to write the book A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health and Connection. After reading it, I decided to try the experiment myself. I’ve always been a fairly outgoing person, but the idea of talking to strangers and befriending acquaintances still made me feel anxious. I asked Epley whether he ever felt that fear, too. “I still do sometimes, but it dulls a lot,” Epley said. Of course, it isn’t always advisable to talk to strangers. Epley said you should never do so if you feel unsafe. But in dozens of studies involving more than 30,000 people, he and other researchers have found that people are happier when they are more social, even if they consider themselves introverts (内向人), or fear that reaching out to another person will be embarrassing. In one study, Epley found that after having a conversation with a stranger, people predict that a future conversation with another stranger will be more enjoyable. But that effect fades pretty quickly. “It’s not like you go out and have a nice conversation with somebody in the elevator and the anxiety disappears,” Epley said. The main reason people feel uneasy about socializing, he said, is that we focus on the wrong thing. We worry about what we’ll say rather than how we’ll say it. This was certainly true for me. I worried more about whether I would remember a neighbor’s name than I did about whether I would seem kind. But the research shows that if I’m warm and outgoing, it doesn’t really matter that much what I say. If you’re friendly first, that will probably be returned. 32. What did the conversation with the woman serve as for Nick? A. A reminder of friendship. B. An inspiration for a book. C. A source of happiness. D. An introduction to a new world. 33. What does the underlined word “dulls” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Weakens. B. Ends. C. Grows. D. Exists. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. The research result does not apply to introverts. B. The positive effect of chatting with strangers lasts forever. C. People often fail to remember what to say when facing strangers. D. The author also focused on the wrong thing when talking to strangers. 35. What might the author agree with? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Loose lips sink ships. C. A still tongue makes a wise head. D. Action speaks louder than words. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述教授Epley主动与陌生人交谈后创作社交相关书籍，作者亲身实践并结合研究指出：多社交使人快乐，人们害怕搭话是因过度纠结话术，友善态度比话语内容更关键。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“and he challenged himself to strike up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. It changed his life — and led him to write the book A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health and Connection.(于是他鼓起勇气，主动和坐在身旁的女士攀谈起来。这件事改变了他的生活，还促使他写了《多一点社交：微小选择如何带来意想不到的快乐、健康与联结》这本书。)”可知，这次交谈成为了他撰写该书的灵感来源。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词“dulls”前面的“I asked Epley whether he ever felt that fear, too.(我问Epley是否也曾感到那种恐惧。)”以及Epley的回复“I still do sometimes(我有时仍然会感到恐惧)”可知，Epley承认恐惧有时仍会存在；“dulls”在其后but的分句中作谓语，前后存在转折关系，可推断恐惧的程度大大降低，因此“dulls”含有“减弱”之意，与选项中的weakens相对应。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The main reason people feel uneasy about socializing, he said, is that we focus on the wrong thing. We worry about what we’ll say rather than how we’ll say it. This was certainly true for me.(他表示，人们在社交时感到不安的主要原因是我们关注错了重点。我们总担心自己要说什么，却忽略了表达方式。我自己就深有体会。)”可推知，作者本人也同样关注了错误的事情——过分担心谈话内容而非自己的态度。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If you’re friendly first, that will probably be returned.(如果你先友善待人，那么这种友善很可能会得到回报。)”可知，作者认为主动付出的友好往往会得到对方的回应，选项中的“One good turn deserves another.”表示“善有善报、礼尚往来”，与作者的观点一致。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Good organizations need teams that are high-performing and can communicate clearly.

His fingers touched a folded (折叠的) two-dollar bill in his pocket, soft and worn at the edges. It was all he had saved from his allowance, hoping to do something good for the sick kids in Primary Children’s Hospital, but visiting hours ended, and the bill stayed folded. The chance never came back. An old paper on a light post caught his eye. A picture showed cups steaming on a table. “Hot Chocolate Stand,” the words read. “All money goes to Primary Children’s Hospital.” Trevor stopped. He read it twice. The hospital name matched the sign behind him. He felt the chance had come back. He took the paper down and folded it carefully. The next Saturday, he found the small stand at the street corner. A friendly girl was busy making hot chocolate, her breath white in the cold air. The sweet smell of cocoa and sugar filled the street. A small crowd had gathered, cups in hand, faces warm. Trevor walked closer, the paper in his hand. A small box on the table said “Donations”. Trevor’s stomach began to make noises. He looked at his two dollars, then at the box. A warm meal, or a warm deed? He pushed the bill back into his pocket. “I saw your poster,” he said. The girl looked up, her eyes tired but kind. “First one’s free, if you help,” she said, handing him a cup. Trevor took it, warming his hands. He spoke softly about the good deed he had wanted to do, and the bill still folded in his pocket. She listened, nodding, pouring chocolate for the next customer. The line grew longer. The girl moved between the pot and the customers, her hands never still. He looked at the girl, then at the busy stand. “I could help,” he said softly. 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。 Paragraph 1: The girl looked up, her eyes meeting his. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the last customer left, Trevor dropped his bill into the box. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The girl looked up, her eyes meeting his. “We need more hands,” she said. Trevor moved behind the table. She passed him a cloth and showed him how to hold the cup, how to pour the chocolate slow and steady. His first try spilled over the edge, but she only smiled and handed him another cup. The steam rose warm against his cold face. Customers came, cups passed, and the box filled with more bills. Trevor’s hands, once still in his pockets, now moved without pause. The two dollars stayed folded, warm in his pocket. When the last customer left, Trevor dropped his bill into the box. The girl filled a fresh cup. “For the helper,”she said, pressing it into his hands. “But I,” “You gave both.” She nodded at the box, then at the empty street. “The money helps. The hands help more.” He held the cup tight, feeling the warmth spread through his fingers. The chance hadn’t passed. It had simply changed hands. He walked home through the empty street. The December wind still blew, but something inside got warm. The two dollars were gone. But the warmth remained. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述特雷弗怀揣仅有的两美元，原本想为儿童医院患病儿童献上善意，却错失机会。偶然看到热巧克力义卖摊海报，摊位收益全部捐给儿童医院。面对填饱肚子和行善的抉择，特雷弗选择留下来帮忙义卖，最终捐出积攒的两美元，领悟付出劳力与金钱同样珍贵的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写女孩接纳特雷弗前来帮忙，耐心指导他分装热巧克力，特雷弗忙碌不停，两美元依旧揣在口袋中。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写特雷弗将两美元投入捐款箱，女孩赠予热巧克力，并告诉他人力付出同样珍贵，特雷弗内心收获温暖。 2. 续写线索：应允帮忙——学习操作——忙碌义卖——钱款留存——投入捐款箱——获赠饮品——得到启迪——内心温暖 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①传递：pass/hand ②倾倒：pour/spill 情绪类 ①温暖：warmth/comfort ②紧张：tight/nervous 【点睛】[高分句型1] The girl looked up, her eyes meeting his.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] He held the cup tight, feeling the warmth spread through his fingers.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高二英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Dad, can I turn on the air conditioning?

Food will be served at around eight thirty, and then depending on how long the meal takes, the entertainment will start about two hours later. So lets get started on the preparations. I'll have the detailed assignment set out within an hour. Thanks, everyone, and let's make this another memorable celebration. Good morning, everyone.
