Best Live-Action: Lilo & Stitch 4 In March, the mischievous alien Stitch returned for another adventure. This film is a live-action version of the 2002 animated movie. In the story, a little girl named Lilo adopts a strange creature she calls Stitch, not knowing he is an escaped alien experiment. He must avoid capture by clever aliens while trying to find his place in a new family. Best Remake: Superman 12A The famous hero from Krypton, known as the “Man of Steel,” is back. By day, he is a quiet newspaper reporter named Clark Kent, but he secretly protects the world. In this film, he faces a new challenge from Lex Luthor, a rich villain with evil plans. Superman believes in doing the right thing, while Luthor wants to destroy him. Best Film of a Book: How to Train Your Dragon The director of the original animated trilogy returned to create this live-action remake. The story follows Hiccup, a young Viking living on the Isle of Berk, where his people are at war with dragons. When Hiccup befriends a dragon he names Toothless, he discovers that the creatures are not as dangerous as everyone believes. Best Sequel: The Bad Guys 2 In this follow-up, the famous animal gang, led by Mr. Wolf, is trying to live as good citizens. However, changing their ways proves to be difficult. When a new group of villains appears, things get even harder. The director explained, “The message is that change is hard, but going back to your comfort zone is not the right idea.” 1. Who is the main villain in Superman 12A? A. A clever alien. B. A dragon. C. A wealthy man named Lex Luthor. D. A mischievous alien named Stitch. 2. What do the movie Lilo & Stitch 4 and How to Train Your Dragon have in common? A. They both tell the story of a boy and his dog. B. They are both live-action remakes. C. They are both about a superhero from another planet. D. They both come from a book. 3. According to the director of The Bad Guys 2, what is the film’s message? A. It is easy to change your ways. B. Going back to your comfort zone is a good idea. C. Change is better than returning to old habits. D. Villains should always stay villains. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是2025年四部最受欢迎的电影的基本情节与主题信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Remake: Superman 12A部分“In this film, he faces a new challenge from Lex Luthor, a rich villain with evil plans. (在这部电影中，他面临着来自莱克斯·卢瑟的新挑战，这是一个有着邪恶计划的富有反派。)”可知，《超人12A》中的主要反派是一个名叫莱克斯·卢瑟的富人。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Live-Action: Lilo & Stitch 4部分“This film is a live-action version of the 2002 animated movie. (这部电影是2002年动画电影的真人版。)”以及Best Film of a Book: How to Train Your Dragon部分“The director of the original animated trilogy returned to create this live-action remake. (原版动画三部曲的导演回归创作了这部真人翻拍版。)”可知，这两部电影的共同点是它们都是真人翻拍版（live-action remakes）。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Best Sequel: The Bad Guys 2部分“The director explained, ‘The message is that change is hard, but going back to your comfort zone is not the right idea.’ (导演解释说：“传达的信息是，改变是困难的，但回到你的舒适区并不是正确的想法”)”可以推断出，电影想要表达的主题是：尽管做出改变很困难，但也比退回到过去的旧习惯（舒适区）要好。 B When Strella was a teenager, she had a strong sense of vanity. Whenever her parents gave her a little pocket money, she would rush to a hotel buffet restaurant and spend 98 yuan on a breakfast that was, in truth, extremely unreasonable. At that price, most people could only eat about 18 yuan worth of food. Yet to her, the meal was never really about the food. It was about the photos. After each breakfast, she would take carefully chosen pictures of her plates, her coffee and the elegant dining hall, and post them on WeChat Moments. Looking at the “likes” and comments, she felt as if she had become a rich lady. She imagined that her classmates would admire her, envy her, and think she belonged to a higher social class. But the truth was far less romantic. There were only a few hundred yuan in her pocket. She was not rich at all. In fact, she was just a girl trying hard to look rich. What she failed to realize then was that nobody was really impressed. Her classmates were busy with their own lives. Some might have clicked “like” out of politeness; others simply ignored her posts. The admiration she thought she had won existed mostly in her own imagination. Years later, Strella did become truly wealthy. She built her own business and earned far more than she had ever dreamed of as a teenager. Yet something surprising happened: she no longer cared about those meaningless buffet breakfasts. To her, such meals could no longer prove anything about her value. Real value, she came to understand, never needs to be shown through what one eats. In fact, many wealthy people she met had surprisingly simple breakfasts. Some just stopped at a roadside breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, ate quickly, and hurried to work. They did not need a luxurious table to remind themselves who they were. Their time, their work and their choices spoke for them. Strella now spends her money in more meaningful ways. She supports education projects, invests in young people’s ideas, and helps those who are trying to stand on their own feet. Looking back, she sometimes laughs at her teenage self — not because she was poor, but because she once believed that a fancy breakfast could buy her dignity. 4. What can be inferred about Strella’s buffet breakfasts when she was a teenager? A. They were a wise way to save money. B. They were mainly intended for social display. C. They helped her make many true friends. D. They were paid for by her classmates. 5. Why did Strella’s classmates fail to admire her as she had expected? A. They were jealous of her wealth. B. They thought her photos were of poor quality. C. They were too busy with their own lives to care much. D. They knew she had borrowed money from others. 6. What does the author suggest by mentioning wealthy people eating noodles at roadside shops? A. Rich people are usually very mean. B. Simple food is always healthier than buffet food. C. True value does not depend on expensive meals. D. Wealthy people dislike being seen in public. 7. What is the main message of the passage? A. Teenagers should not use WeChat Moments. B. Money should only be spent on education. C. One’s worth should not be judged by outward displays. D. Buffet restaurants are unsuitable for young people. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Strella年少时靠吃昂贵自助餐、发朋友圈来假装富有，成年真正致富后明白，真正的价值无需靠外在消费来彰显，转而将钱用于更有意义的事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet to her, the meal was never really about the food. It was about the photos.(但对她来说，这顿饭从来不是真的为了吃。是为了拍照)”以及第二段“She imagined that her classmates would admire her, envy her, and think she belonged to a higher social class.(她想象着同学们会羡慕她、嫉妒她，觉得她属于更高的社会阶层)”可知，Strella年少时吃昂贵的自助早餐主要是为了在社交媒体上炫耀和展示。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“What she failed to realize then was that nobody was really impressed. Her classmates were busy with their own lives.(她当时没意识到的是，根本没人真的被打动。她的同学们都忙于自己的生活)”可知，同学们并没有像她期望的那样羡慕她，是因为他们都在忙自己的事情，没有太在意她的动态。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Some just stopped at a roadside breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, ate quickly, and hurried to work. They did not need a luxurious table to remind themselves who they were. Their time, their work and their choices spoke for them.(有些人只是停在路边早餐店，点一碗面，快速吃完就赶去上班。他们不需要奢华的餐桌来提醒自己是谁。他们的时间、工作和选择足以说明一切)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了说明一个人的真正价值并不取决于昂贵的饮食或外在的物质条件。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了主人公Strella青少年时期为了虚荣在朋友圈炫耀昂贵的早餐，而成年真正致富后反而追求简单、做有意义的事，明白了真正的价值不需要靠吃什么来证明。全文旨在传达一个核心道理：一个人的内在价值不应通过外在的物质展示来评判。 C Every spring, when college admission results come out, a familiar scene repeats itself. Parents gather in online groups, comparing acceptance rates. Schools proudly announce how many students they have rejected. Newspapers publish rankings in which the most selective institutions sit at the top. In this atmosphere, one idea spreads almost without question: the harder a school is to get into, the better it must be. This belief is understandable. A low acceptance rate seems to suggest that many people want to enter, and that only the best are chosen. It offers a simple, measurable standard in a world where quality is often hard to judge. Yet convenience is not the same as truth. The difficulty of admission tells us something about a school’s popularity and marketing, but very little about what actually happens inside its classrooms. Consider two universities. One accepts only five percent of applicants but offers large lecture halls where students rarely speak to professors. Another accepts sixty percent but requires every student to complete a research project, work in teams, and present their findings publicly. Which one is “better”? The answer depends entirely on what a student needs. A school that is easy to enter may still be hard to survive — and far harder to forget. The problem with judging schools by admission difficulty is that it confuses exclusivity with quality. These are not the same thing. A restaurant may be exclusive because it has only ten tables, but that says nothing about whether the food is good. Likewise, a college may be selective because it has a small campus, a powerful brand, or a clever marketing strategy. None of these guarantees excellent teaching, caring teachers, or real growth. Worse, this way of thinking harms students. Those who are rejected by highly selective schools may conclude that they are not good enough, when in fact they may simply have applied to the wrong place. Those who are accepted may assume that they have already succeeded, when the real work has only just begun. And schools themselves may begin to care more about lowering their acceptance rate than about improving their education — a strange goal indeed. None of this means that selective schools are bad. Many are excellent. But their excellence comes from what they do, not from whom they reject. A good school is one that challenges its students, supports them when they struggle, and prepares them for a life beyond grades. That kind of quality cannot be measured by an acceptance rate, and it certainly cannot be printed in a ranking. If we want to judge a school fairly, we should ask better questions. How much do students actually learn? How do teachers treat them? Do graduates leave with curiosity, courage and a sense of responsibility? These questions are harder to answer than “What is the acceptance rate?”, which is exactly why we should ask them more often. 8. What does the author suggest about a low acceptance rate? A. It proves that a school provides high-quality education. B. It mainly reflects a school’s popularity and marketing. C. It shows that the school cares about every student. D. It is the fairest standard for judging a school. 9. Why does the author mention the example of a restaurant in Paragraph 4? A. To show that exclusive things are always better. B. To explain why schools should be run like businesses. C. To stress that exclusivity and quality are different matters. D. To prove that small restaurants often serve better food. 10. What is one harmful effect of judging schools by admission difficulty? A. Students may misunderstand their own value and progress. B. Schools may be forced to close their campuses. C. Teachers may refuse to do research any more. D. Parents may stop comparing schools with each other. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To argue that selective schools should be closed. B. To encourage students to apply only to easy schools. C. To call for a more meaningful way of evaluating schools. D. To prove that rankings are completely useless. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要批判了以“录取率低”等同于“学校质量高”的普遍误区，指出排他性不等于教学质量，呼吁人们从学生实际收获、教师关怀等更有意义的维度评价学校。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The difficulty of admission tells us something about a school’s popularity and marketing, but very little about what actually happens inside its classrooms.(录取的难度只能告诉我们一所学校的受欢迎程度和营销效果，却几乎无法反映课堂内真实的教学情况)”可知，低录取率主要反映的是学校的受欢迎程度和营销情况。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The problem with judging schools by admission difficulty is that it confuses exclusivity with quality. These are not the same thing. A restaurant may be exclusive because it has only ten tables, but that says nothing about whether the food is good.(用录取难度来评判学校的问题在于，它把排他性和质量混为一谈。这两者并不相同。一家餐厅之所以排他，可能只是因为它只有十张桌子，但这并不能说明它的食物是否美味)”可知，作者举餐厅的例子是为了生动地论证并强调排他性和质量是两码事。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Those who are rejected by highly selective schools may conclude that they are not good enough, when in fact they may simply have applied to the wrong place. Those who are accepted may assume that they have already succeeded, when the real work has only just begun.(那些被高选拔性学校拒绝的学生可能会推断自己不够优秀，而实际上他们可能只是申请错了地方。那些被录取的学生可能会以为自己已经成功了，而真正的努力才刚刚开始)”可知，这种评判标准会导致学生对自身的价值和所处的学习阶段（进步）产生误解。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If we want to judge a school fairly, we should ask better questions. How much do students actually learn? How do teachers treat them? Do graduates leave with curiosity, courage and a sense of responsibility?(如果我们想公平地评判一所学校，我们应该提出更好的问题。学生实际学到了多少？老师如何对待他们？毕业生离校时是否带着好奇心、勇气和责任感？)”可知，作者写作的主要目的是呼吁人们采用一种更有意义、更科学的方式来评价学校。 D With the rise of AI, many students ask: if machines can answer almost any question in seconds, is learning still useful? The question sounds modern, but it hides an old puzzlement — equating information with understanding. AI is good at storing and retrieving information. It can summarize a book, translate a language, or solve an equation. If education were only about getting answers, AI would have made learning unnecessary. But education is not about answers alone. It is about forming the mind that asks the questions. Consider a student who uses AI to write an essay. The essay may be clear and perfect. Yet the student has not struggled with the argument or found a personal voice. The product looks impressive, but the learner remains unchanged. Real learning is not copying words; it is the slow reshaping of how a person thinks. AI can also offer answers, but it cannot take responsibility for them. A doctor must decide whether to trust an AI diagnosis. A citizen must judge whether an AI-written news story is true. Judgment is built through years of study and reflection. Without knowledge, people cannot tell a brilliant answer from a confident mistake. Some say students should now focus only on creativity. But creativity does not appear in a vacuum. A writer cannot break rules without knowing them. Knowledge is not the enemy of creativity — it is its raw material. So the question “Is learning still useful?” is misleading. AI may change what we learn and how we learn, but not why we learn. In a world full of instant answers, the ability to think slowly and independently may be more precious than ever. 12. What is the common confusion mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Believing that AI will replace all teachers. B. Thinking that machines can compose music. C. Assuming that students no longer need books. D. Misconstruing the accumulation of facts as true intellectual grasp. 13. Why does the author mention the student who uses AI to write an essay? A. To demonstrate that essays written by AI are invariably superior. B. To indicate that the ultimate outcome is of the greatest importance. C. To emphasize that the learning process transforms the learner. D. To imply that students ought never to use AI under any circumstances. 14. What does “Knowledge is not the enemy of creativity — it is its raw material” mean? A. Creativity is less important than knowledge. B. AI can replace both knowledge and creativity. C. Creative people do not need much knowledge. D. Knowledge provides the basis for original thinking. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To warn readers that AI will destroy education. B. In the AI era, the importance of learning will not be diminished much. C. To tell us to use more AI to help our study. D. To encourage students to reduce the use of AI and use their own strength instead. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述在人工智能时代，学习依然具有重要意义，指出教育不仅是获取答案，更是培养提问能力、判断力与独立思考的过程，知识是创造力的基础，学习的价值并未因人工智能而削弱。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The question sounds modern, but it hides an old puzzlement — equating information with understanding.(这个问题听起来很现代，但它隐藏着一个古老的困惑——把信息和理解等同起来)”可知，第一段提到的常见困惑是人们常把获取信息误认为是真正的理解。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Yet the student has not struggled with the argument or found a personal voice. The product looks impressive, but the learner remains unchanged. Real learning is not copying words; it is the slow reshaping of how a person thinks.(然而，这名学生并没有在论证中挣扎，也没有找到自己的表达。成品看起来很出色，但学习者本身并没有改变。真正的学习不是复制文字，而是一个人思维方式的缓慢重塑)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了强调学习的过程能够改变、塑造学习者。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“But creativity does not appear in a vacuum. A writer cannot break rules without knowing them.(但创造力不会凭空出现。一个作家如果不知道规则，就无法打破规则)”可知，创造力必须建立在已有知识的基础上，选项D“知识为原创思维（创造力）提供基础”最符合“原材料（raw material）”的比喻义。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So the question “Is learning still useful?” is misleading. AI may change what we learn and how we learn, but not why we learn. In a world full of instant answers, the ability to think slowly and independently may be more precious than ever. (因此，“学习仍然有用吗？”这个问题具有误导性。人工智能可能会改变我们的学习内容和学习方式，但不会改变我们学习的原因。在一个充满即时答案的世界里，慢慢独立思考的能力可能比以往任何时候都更加珍贵)”以及文章内容可知，文章开篇提出疑问“在人工智能时代学习还有用吗？”，随后通过论述人工智能不能代替人类的思维重塑、责任判断以及知识积累，最后在末段得出结论：人工智能可能会改变我们学什么和怎么学，但不会改变我们为什么学。因此，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是向读者阐明：在人工智能时代，学习的重要性并不会减弱。 三、七选五阅读。（12.5分） Everybody gets sad from time to time. Cheering someone up is all about taking the time to listen to them, understanding with what they’re going through, and helping them get a bit of clue. ___16___ Listen to your sad friends.

It’s best to show you really care in person. D. Pull up a chair and give them a shoulder to cry on. E. Here are steps to help your friends start on the way to healing. F.

Cheering someone up is all about taking the time to listen to them, understanding with what they’re going through, and helping them get a bit of clue.(每个人都会时不时地感到难过。安慰他人，关键在于花时间倾听他们，理解他们正在经历的事情，并帮助他们找到一丝头绪。)”可知，上文点明要帮助他人振作。而下文各段分别阐述具体做法。选项E“Here are steps to help your friends start on the way to healing.(以下是帮助你的朋友开始走向恢复的步骤)”起到承上启下的作用，引出下文内容。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文内容“Listen to your sad friends. Half of the time, sad or stressed people aren’t really looking for an answer; they just want to be heard and have a chance to let out. Do you know why they’ re sad? Do they seem like sharing their feelings with you?(倾听你难过的朋友。多半时候，难过或压力大的人并非真的在寻求答案；他们只是希望被倾听，并有机会倾诉心声。你知道他们为什么难过吗？他们看起来愿意和你分享自己的感受吗？)”可知，上文主要讲述的是倾听难过的朋友的倾诉。选项D“Pull up a chair and give them a shoulder to cry on.(拉过一把椅子，给他们一个可以依靠哭泣的肩膀。)” 形象地体现了倾听并给予支持，符合该段语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文内容“Ask them relevant questions. There’s no better way to get involved in the conversation other than asking questions, especially questions about how the other person feels.(询问他们相关问题。没有什么比提问更好的方式来参与对话了，尤其是询问关于对方感受的问题。)”可知，上文提到要问一些相关的问题。选项G“Asking questions that have nothing to do with the problem will confuse them.(问与问题无关的问题会让他们困惑。)”与空后“Instead, your questions should motivate the person to talk about their feelings.(相反，你的问题应该促使这个人谈论他们的感受。)”形成对比，强调要问相关问题。故填G。 【19题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主题句。根据本段内容“After figuring out just what the problem is, take a bit of time to think over what their best choice of action might be. Let them know you have an idea of what they could do. If you don’t, be honest to them. Take them to a person who has a better fix for the problem than you have.(在弄清楚问题究竟是什么之后，花些时间思考他们可能采取的最佳行动方案。让他们知道你对他们可以做什么有想法。如果你没有，那就诚实地告诉他们。带他们去找一个比你更能解决这个问题的人。)”可知，本段主要提到想出解决问题的办法并告知对方。选项A“Give them advice when asked.(当被问及时给他们建议)”符合此段关于给朋友提供解决问题建议的主旨。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文内容“Get face to face if possible. For as great and easy technology makes life, it can also make everything a bit more difficult. It’s tempting to want to send your friend a nice message via text, but that probably won’t do it.(如果可能的话，面对面交流。尽管科技让生活变得既美好又便捷，但它也可能使一切变得有点困难。人们很容易想要通过短信给朋友发一条贴心的消息，但这可能没什么效果。)”可知，本段讲述了要面对面交流。而空前则指出想通过短信安慰朋友没什么效果。选项C“It’s best to show you really care in person.(最好亲自去表明你真的关心他们。)”与段首句“Get face to face if possible.(如果可能的话，面对面交流)”相呼应，强调面对面表达关心的重要性。故选C。 四．完形填空。（15分） One evening, I was looking around my attic (阁楼) when the floor seemed to drop from beneath me.

Mandy had always been the kind of girl who cared too much about what others thought of her. When the new semester began, she noticed that almost everyone in her class was holding a shiny iPhone. They took photos, played games, and showed off their new apps during breaks. Mandy looked at her old, scratched Android phone and felt a sharp pang of shame. One afternoon, while scrolling through social media, she saw an advertisement: “Buy now, pay later! Zero down payment!” Her heart raced. She clicked on it and discovered that she could get the latest iPhone by paying in twelve monthly installments. The interest rate was high, but Mandy didn’t care. All she could think about was how her classmates would admire her. Without telling her parents, Mandy signed the contract. The phone arrived three days later. For the first week, she was on cloud nine. She posted photos, showed it off to her friends, and basked in their envious glances. But soon, reality hit her. Her monthly allowance was only enough for basic meals and transportation. To make the installment payment, she had to skip lunches and eat instant noodles every day. Months passed. Mandy grew thinner and paler. Her friends noticed but she always said she was on a diet. She stopped going out with them because she couldn’t afford it. The phone that once brought her pride now felt like a heavy stone around her neck. After twelve long months, Mandy finally made the last payment. She sat alone in her room, staring at the phone. The screen was cracked from when she had dropped it in a moment of exhaustion. The excitement was long gone. Paragraph 1: Mandy looked at the phone and then at herself in the mirror, tears streaming down her face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Mandy made a decision. She walked to her parents’ room and knocked on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: Mandy looked at the phone and then at herself in the mirror, tears streaming down her face. She barely recognized the girl staring back at her — hollow cheeks, dark circles under her eyes, and a look of deep regret. For twelve months, she had lived like a shadow, hiding her instant noodles from her roommates, lying to her parents about why she never had money, and losing friends because she could no longer afford to go anywhere. All for a phone that was now cracked and outdated. She remembered how proud she had felt when she first showed it off, but that pride had lasted only a week. The pain, however, had lasted a whole year. She realized with a crushing clarity that if something requires you to sacrifice your health, your honesty, and your happiness just to possess it, then it was never meant to be yours in the first place. Paragraph 2: The next day, Mandy made a decision. She walked to her parents’ room and knocked on the door. Her hands were trembling, but she knew she had to come clean. She told them everything — the advertisement, the secret contract, the instant noodles, the loneliness. Her mother’s eyes widened in shock, and her father was silent for a long moment. Then, instead of anger, she saw something she hadn’t expected: sadness. “Why didn’t you tell us?” her mother whispered. Mandy broke down. “I was ashamed,” she said. “I wanted to be like everyone else.” Her father sighed and said, “Mandy, we can’t always have what others have. But we can always have each other.” That night, they talked for hours. Mandy learned a lesson no phone could ever teach her: true worth is not measured by what you hold in your hand, but by what you hold in your heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在意他人眼光的女孩Mandy，因羡慕同学都用iPhone，不顾高利率瞒着父母通过分期贷款购入最新款苹果手机。为偿还月供，她长期省吃俭用、缩减社交，备受煎熬，好不容易还清12期款项时，当初带来虚荣心满足的手机早已破损，最初的兴奋也荡然无存，只剩对自己盲目攀比行为的懊悔。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Mandy还完贷款的悔恨情绪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Mandy向父母坦白、父母的反应以及最终Mandy学到的教训。 2.续写线索：悔恨——意识到的道理——坦白——父母的反应——长聊——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认出：recognize/make out ②预料：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①悔恨：regret/remorse ②震惊：shock/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] For twelve months, she had lived like a shadow, hiding her instant noodles from her roommates, lying to her parents about why she never had money, and losing friends because she could no longer afford to go anywhere.（由连词why引导的宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句） [高分句型2] Then, instead of anger, she saw something she hadn’t expected: sadness. （省略关系词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 四川省彭州中学2026-2027学年度高2024级高三上9月月考 英语学科试题 注意事项： 1.开考前，请先将自己的姓名，准考证号，座位号涂写在试卷和答题的相应位置。 2.选择题部分请用2B铅笔填涂，如果需要修改，请先用橡皮擦干净后再修改，否则会导致评卷异常；对于非选择题，请用0.5mm黑色墨迹签字笔工整书写作答，作答时切勿超出答题卡规定的矩形边框，否则作答的答案无效。 3.考试结束后，请将试卷，答题卡，草稿纸一并交回 4.特别注意，作答听力考试部分的时候，不能作答后面的试题。 一、听力部分：每题1.5分，共30分 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B When Strella was a teenager, she had a strong sense of vanity. Whenever her parents gave her a little pocket money, she would rush to a hotel buffet restaurant and spend 98 yuan on a breakfast that was, in truth, extremely unreasonable. At that price, most people could only eat about 18 yuan worth of food. Yet to her, the meal was never really about the food. It was about the photos. After each breakfast, she would take carefully chosen pictures of her plates, her coffee and the elegant dining hall, and post them on WeChat Moments. Looking at the “likes” and comments, she felt as if she had become a rich lady. She imagined that her classmates would admire her, envy her, and think she belonged to a higher social class. But the truth was far less romantic. There were only a few hundred yuan in her pocket. She was not rich at all. In fact, she was just a girl trying hard to look rich. What she failed to realize then was that nobody was really impressed. Her classmates were busy with their own lives. Some might have clicked “like” out of politeness; others simply ignored her posts. The admiration she thought she had won existed mostly in her own imagination. Years later, Strella did become truly wealthy. She built her own business and earned far more than she had ever dreamed of as a teenager. Yet something surprising happened: she no longer cared about those meaningless buffet breakfasts. To her, such meals could no longer prove anything about her value. Real value, she came to understand, never needs to be shown through what one eats. In fact, many wealthy people she met had surprisingly simple breakfasts. Some just stopped at a roadside breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, ate quickly, and hurried to work. They did not need a luxurious table to remind themselves who they were. Their time, their work and their choices spoke for them. Strella now spends her money in more meaningful ways. She supports education projects, invests in young people’s ideas, and helps those who are trying to stand on their own feet. Looking back, she sometimes laughs at her teenage self — not because she was poor, but because she once believed that a fancy breakfast could buy her dignity. 4. What can be inferred about Strella’s buffet breakfasts when she was a teenager? A. They were a wise way to save money. B. They were mainly intended for social display. C. They helped her make many true friends. D. They were paid for by her classmates. 5. Why did Strella’s classmates fail to admire her as she had expected? A. They were jealous of her wealth. B. They thought her photos were of poor quality. C. They were too busy with their own lives to care much. D. They knew she had borrowed money from others. 6. What does the author suggest by mentioning wealthy people eating noodles at roadside shops? A. Rich people are usually very mean. B. Simple food is always healthier than buffet food. C. True value does not depend on expensive meals. D. Wealthy people dislike being seen in public. 7. What is the main message of the passage? A. Teenagers should not use WeChat Moments. B. Money should only be spent on education. C. One’s worth should not be judged by outward displays. D. Buffet restaurants are unsuitable for young people. C Every spring, when college admission results come out, a familiar scene repeats itself. Parents gather in online groups, comparing acceptance rates. Schools proudly announce how many students they have rejected. Newspapers publish rankings in which the most selective institutions sit at the top. In this atmosphere, one idea spreads almost without question: the harder a school is to get into, the better it must be. This belief is understandable. A low acceptance rate seems to suggest that many people want to enter, and that only the best are chosen. It offers a simple, measurable standard in a world where quality is often hard to judge. Yet convenience is not the same as truth. The difficulty of admission tells us something about a school’s popularity and marketing, but very little about what actually happens inside its classrooms. Consider two universities. One accepts only five percent of applicants but offers large lecture halls where students rarely speak to professors. Another accepts sixty percent but requires every student to complete a research project, work in teams, and present their findings publicly. Which one is “better”? The answer depends entirely on what a student needs. A school that is easy to enter may still be hard to survive — and far harder to forget. The problem with judging schools by admission difficulty is that it confuses exclusivity with quality. These are not the same thing. A restaurant may be exclusive because it has only ten tables, but that says nothing about whether the food is good. Likewise, a college may be selective because it has a small campus, a powerful brand, or a clever marketing strategy. None of these guarantees excellent teaching, caring teachers, or real growth. Worse, this way of thinking harms students. Those who are rejected by highly selective schools may conclude that they are not good enough, when in fact they may simply have applied to the wrong place. Those who are accepted may assume that they have already succeeded, when the real work has only just begun. And schools themselves may begin to care more about lowering their acceptance rate than about improving their education — a strange goal indeed. None of this means that selective schools are bad. Many are excellent. But their excellence comes from what they do, not from whom they reject. A good school is one that challenges its students, supports them when they struggle, and prepares them for a life beyond grades. That kind of quality cannot be measured by an acceptance rate, and it certainly cannot be printed in a ranking. If we want to judge a school fairly, we should ask better questions. How much do students actually learn? How do teachers treat them? Do graduates leave with curiosity, courage and a sense of responsibility? These questions are harder to answer than “What is the acceptance rate?”, which is exactly why we should ask them more often. 8. What does the author suggest about a low acceptance rate? A. It proves that a school provides high-quality education. B. It mainly reflects a school’s popularity and marketing. C. It shows that the school cares about every student. D. It is the fairest standard for judging a school. 9. Why does the author mention the example of a restaurant in Paragraph 4? A. To show that exclusive things are always better. B. To explain why schools should be run like businesses. C. To stress that exclusivity and quality are different matters. D. To prove that small restaurants often serve better food. 10. What is one harmful effect of judging schools by admission difficulty? A. Students may misunderstand their own value and progress. B. Schools may be forced to close their campuses. C. Teachers may refuse to do research any more. D. Parents may stop comparing schools with each other. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To argue that selective schools should be closed. B. To encourage students to apply only to easy schools. C. To call for a more meaningful way of evaluating schools. D. To prove that rankings are completely useless. D With the rise of AI, many students ask: if machines can answer almost any question in seconds, is learning still useful? The question sounds modern, but it hides an old puzzlement — equating information with understanding. AI is good at storing and retrieving information. It can summarize a book, translate a language, or solve an equation. If education were only about getting answers, AI would have made learning unnecessary. But education is not about answers alone. It is about forming the mind that asks the questions. Consider a student who uses AI to write an essay. The essay may be clear and perfect. Yet the student has not struggled with the argument or found a personal voice. The product looks impressive, but the learner remains unchanged. Real learning is not copying words; it is the slow reshaping of how a person thinks. AI can also offer answers, but it cannot take responsibility for them. A doctor must decide whether to trust an AI diagnosis. A citizen must judge whether an AI-written news story is true. Judgment is built through years of study and reflection. Without knowledge, people cannot tell a brilliant answer from a confident mistake. Some say students should now focus only on creativity. But creativity does not appear in a vacuum. A writer cannot break rules without knowing them. Knowledge is not the enemy of creativity — it is its raw material. So the question “Is learning still useful?” is misleading. AI may change what we learn and how we learn, but not why we learn. In a world full of instant answers, the ability to think slowly and independently may be more precious than ever. 12.

Mandy had always been the kind of girl who cared too much about what others thought of her. When the new semester began, she noticed that almost everyone in her class was holding a shiny iPhone. They took photos, played games, and showed off their new apps during breaks. Mandy looked at her old, scratched Android phone and felt a sharp pang of shame. One afternoon, while scrolling through social media, she saw an advertisement: “Buy now, pay later! Zero down payment!” Her heart raced. She clicked on it and discovered that she could get the latest iPhone by paying in twelve monthly installments. The interest rate was high, but Mandy didn’t care. All she could think about was how her classmates would admire her. Without telling her parents, Mandy signed the contract. The phone arrived three days later. For the first week, she was on cloud nine. She posted photos, showed it off to her friends, and basked in their envious glances. But soon, reality hit her. Her monthly allowance was only enough for basic meals and transportation. To make the installment payment, she had to skip lunches and eat instant noodles every day. Months passed. Mandy grew thinner and paler. Her friends noticed but she always said she was on a diet. She stopped going out with them because she couldn’t afford it. The phone that once brought her pride now felt like a heavy stone around her neck. After twelve long months, Mandy finally made the last payment. She sat alone in her room, staring at the phone. The screen was cracked from when she had dropped it in a moment of exhaustion. The excitement was long gone. Paragraph 1: Mandy looked at the phone and then at herself in the mirror, tears streaming down her face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Mandy made a decision. She walked to her parents’ room and knocked on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
