B The first time I seriously questioned my own judgment was not during a math exam or a college interview, but on a sticky July afternoon, surrounded by the deafening silence of a party that nobody attended. My name is Dorian, and I was turning seventeen — a milestone that had somehow been reduced to a hollow (空洞的) joke. It had all begun with a miscalculation so silly that I still feel awkward whenever I think about it. Having misread the group chat’s calendar, I had firmly believed that my closest friends — Elias, Thalia, and the rest — were planning secretly to throw a surprise party for me. Consequently, I spent three weeks making overly obvious suggestions about my favorite cake flavors, expecting a grand celebration. What I failed to realize, however, was that the event they were actually planning was a farewell (欢送) gathering for a teacher who was transferring to another school. The conflict of these two separate universes occurred at precisely 4 pm three weeks later. While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.” The shock was physically painful; I felt my face burn with an embarrassment so intense that I briefly considered pretending an illness just to escape the situation. Eventually, I had to choose between feeling sorry for myself and saving the day. Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.” It was a lie, of course, but watching his face light up made the lie feel kinder than the truth would have been. This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. 4. Why did Dorian expect a party? A. He misunderstood group messages. B. His friends planned a big get-together. C. His classmates reminded him clearly. D. He decided to give a teacher a surprise. 5. What happened to Dorian that afternoon three weeks later? A. He forgot the party totally. B. The party began ahead of time. C. No guests showed up at his home. D. Miller sent him congratulations. 6. What did Dorian do after he learned about the truth? A. He behaved thoughtfully. B. He forgave his friends’ mistake. C. He told the truth to his coach. D. He held another celebration party. 7. What does the author intend to tell readers? A. Staying with like-minded friends. B. Avoiding becoming self-centered. C. Valuing the roles of lies in daily life. D. Learning to face sudden embarrassment. C A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages. Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort. The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI. Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. 8. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph? A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing. C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection. 9. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth? A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists. C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills. 10. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4? A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges. C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness D Taking vitamins and minerals every day has already been shown to slow memory loss in people over 60. Now, it appears such supplements could slow ageing more generally. But this finding relied on an indirect measure of ageing, so it isn’t certain what this means in terms of health benefits. We aren’t yet at a point where it could be recommended that all older adults take vitamins, says Howard Sesso at Harvard University. That said, there may at least be small benefits with very little risk. “There have been no deleterious effects of a daily multivitamin that we’ve identified so far,” he said. To learn more about the potential benefits of multivitamin and mineral supplements, Sesso and his colleagues randomly divided 1,000 participants, with an average age of 70, into two groups: one group took the supplement, and the other took a placebo (安慰剂). “This was a very rigorous (严谨的) randomized-controlled trial: double-blind, placebo-controlled,” says Steve Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles. “That alone sets it apart from most of the supplement literature, which relies on observational data full of other influencing factors.” Some blood was taken from the participants at the start of the study, after one year and after two years. The DNA of immune cells in their blood was then analysed to look for the presence or absence of epigenetic (表观遗传的) markers at specific sites in the genes. The patterns of epigenetic markers change in a predictable way as people age, allowing researchers to roughly estimate how old they are from blood tests. Sesso’s team used five epigenetic clocks, which all suggested that the people taking multivitamins aged more slowly than those on placebo. “I should note, however, that the effect sizes are modest,” says Horvath, who develops epigenetic clocks. “This is not a fountain of youth.” The researchers claim that the slowing of epigenetic clocks they found is equal to about four months over the two-year study period, but this may be misleading. One of the many issues with epigenetic clocks is that their estimates of how a slowing of the same degree translates into normal time vary widely between them, says Daniel Belsky at Columbia University in New York. 12. What does the underlined word “deleterious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Harmful. C. Expected. D. Obvious. 13. What does Horvath stress in paragraph 3 regarding the study? A. The diversity of experimental samples. B. The significance of observational data. C. The possible benefits of multivitamins. D. The strictness of experimental procedures. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Blood tests can predict how long people live. B. Epigenetic changes are similar in the two groups. C. Multivitamins have limited effect on slowing ageing. D. Epigenetic markers can check people’s immune system. 15. What does Daniel Belsky think of epigenetic clocks? A. Easy to handle. B. Subject to bias. C. Different in size. D. Error-free for researchers. 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。 At a glance, a career in science can bring great rewards, yet it seems a challenging and demanding path. ____16____ It is wise to explore diverse scientific disciplines early on. You should also consider corresponding career possibilities. Choices range widely, from biology, chemistry, and physics to computer science. ____17____ Take enough time to conduct thorough research.

Above all, genuine enthusiasm for your subject matters far more than casual interest. ____20____ Patience is just as vital as intelligence. Celebrate small victories along the way, and learn from every failure. Surround yourself with supportive co-workers and advisors who share your passion.

For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing. The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces. The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business. Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.” On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong. Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest. 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。 Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省实验中学2026-2027学年上期第一次月考 高二英语 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.” The shock was physically painful; I felt my face burn with an embarrassment so intense that I briefly considered pretending an illness just to escape the situation. Eventually, I had to choose between feeling sorry for myself and saving the day. Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.” It was a lie, of course, but watching his face light up made the lie feel kinder than the truth would have been. This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. 4. Why did Dorian expect a party? A. He misunderstood group messages. B. His friends planned a big get-together. C. His classmates reminded him clearly. D. He decided to give a teacher a surprise. 5. What happened to Dorian that afternoon three weeks later? A. He forgot the party totally. B. The party began ahead of time. C. No guests showed up at his home. D. Miller sent him congratulations. 6. What did Dorian do after he learned about the truth? A. He behaved thoughtfully. B. He forgave his friends’ mistake. C. He told the truth to his coach. D. He held another celebration party. 7. What does the author intend to tell readers? A. Staying with like-minded friends. B. Avoiding becoming self-centered. C. Valuing the roles of lies in daily life. D. Learning to face sudden embarrassment. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了多里安因误读群聊信息而在家苦等朋友开派对，最终发现是误会，并选择用善意谎言化解尴尬的经历，告诉我们应避免以自我为中心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having misread the group chat’s calendar, I had firmly believed that my closest friends — Elias, Thalia, and the rest — were planning secretly to throw a surprise party for me.(由于误读了群聊里的日历信息，我坚信我最亲密的朋友——伊莱亚斯、塔利亚和其他人——正在秘密计划为我举办一个惊喜派对)”可知，多里安期待派对的原因是他误读了群聊里的日历信息，误以为朋友们在为他筹办惊喜派对。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first time I seriously questioned my own judgment was not during a math exam or a college interview, but on a sticky July afternoon, surrounded by the deafening silence of a party that nobody attended.(我第一次认真质疑自己的判断不是在数学考试或大学面试期间，而是在一个闷热潮湿的七月下午，被一个无人参加的派对的震耳欲聋的寂静包围时)”以及第三段“While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.”(当我站在妈妈新打扫的客厅里，戴着一顶愚蠢的派对帽，等待门铃响起时，我收到了伊莱亚斯的一条短信：“多里安，你在哪里？我们都在学校体育馆。米勒教练要走了。”)”可知，那天下午多里安家里没有客人出现，他在空荡荡的房间里独自等待。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.”(我从桌子上抓起一盒黑巧克力，一路跑到体育馆，在演讲结束时气喘吁吁地赶到。我没有指责他们忘记了我，而是把礼物递给米勒教练，简单地说：“我听说你喜欢黑巧克力。”)”可知，得知真相后，多里安没有责怪朋友，而是选择跑去体育馆，将礼物送给教练并送上祝福，这一行为体现了他懂事、体贴的一面。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. (这让我明白，世界并不是为了满足我的期望而存在的)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过多里安的故事告诫读者不要过于以自我为中心，不要认为自己是一切的焦点。 C A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages. Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort. The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI. Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. 8. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph? A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing. C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection. 9. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth? A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists. C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills. 10. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4? A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges. C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了社交媒体时代准社会关系的现象，即粉丝对名人的单向情感依恋常被误认为真实友谊，这种错觉可能带来风险，需保持界限。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. (一位受欢迎的音乐家发布音乐视频或运动员分享健身日常，突然间他们似乎成了我们生活的一部分。人们喜欢并分享这些帖子，随着时间的推移，崇拜开始感觉像友谊——人们喜欢认为他们了解名人。)”可知，作者提到音乐家和运动员是为了展示人们与名人之间一种想象出来的熟悉感。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. (尽管这种被刻意营造出来的亲近感，年轻人经常将名人视为成功的标准。这种影响常常在不知不觉中塑造了一切，从他们的自我形象到他们的长期职业目标。)”可知，建立在名人帖子上的数字纽带塑造了年轻人的个人价值观。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. (当崇拜和想象之间的界限消失时，危险就出现了。当粉丝表现得好像他们真的了解名人时，这种关系就变得不健康了。他们可能会把计划好的帖子当作私人信息，并产生不切实际的期望。)”可知，“将偶像的直播当作私人视频通话”正是将计划好的内容误认为私人信息、产生不切实际期望的危险例子。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. (人们喜欢并分享这些帖子，随着时间的推移，崇拜开始感觉像是友谊——人们喜欢认为自己了解名人。)”以及最后一段“Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. (准社会关系应该保持原样：有距离的和单向的。在一个一切都被设计得让人感觉很私人的数字时代，我们必须记住，事实并非如此。)”可知，文章主要探讨了人们容易将名人的单向展示误认为真实亲密关系的现象，因此最佳标题是“Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness (明星光环还是真实友谊：被误解的亲近感)”。 D Taking vitamins and minerals every day has already been shown to slow memory loss in people over 60. Now, it appears such supplements could slow ageing more generally. But this finding relied on an indirect measure of ageing, so it isn’t certain what this means in terms of health benefits. We aren’t yet at a point where it could be recommended that all older adults take vitamins, says Howard Sesso at Harvard University. That said, there may at least be small benefits with very little risk. “There have been no deleterious effects of a daily multivitamin that we’ve identified so far,” he said. To learn more about the potential benefits of multivitamin and mineral supplements, Sesso and his colleagues randomly divided 1,000 participants, with an average age of 70, into two groups: one group took the supplement, and the other took a placebo (安慰剂). “This was a very rigorous (严谨的) randomized-controlled trial: double-blind, placebo-controlled,” says Steve Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles. “That alone sets it apart from most of the supplement literature, which relies on observational data full of other influencing factors.” Some blood was taken from the participants at the start of the study, after one year and after two years. The DNA of immune cells in their blood was then analysed to look for the presence or absence of epigenetic (表观遗传的) markers at specific sites in the genes. The patterns of epigenetic markers change in a predictable way as people age, allowing researchers to roughly estimate how old they are from blood tests. Sesso’s team used five epigenetic clocks, which all suggested that the people taking multivitamins aged more slowly than those on placebo. “I should note, however, that the effect sizes are modest,” says Horvath, who develops epigenetic clocks. “This is not a fountain of youth.” The researchers claim that the slowing of epigenetic clocks they found is equal to about four months over the two-year study period, but this may be misleading. One of the many issues with epigenetic clocks is that their estimates of how a slowing of the same degree translates into normal time vary widely between them, says Daniel Belsky at Columbia University in New York. 12. What does the underlined word “deleterious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Harmful. C. Expected. D. Obvious. 13. What does Horvath stress in paragraph 3 regarding the study? A. The diversity of experimental samples. B. The significance of observational data. C. The possible benefits of multivitamins. D. The strictness of experimental procedures. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Blood tests can predict how long people live. B. Epigenetic changes are similar in the two groups. C. Multivitamins have limited effect on slowing ageing. D. Epigenetic markers can check people’s immune system. 15. What does Daniel Belsky think of epigenetic clocks? A. Easy to handle. B. Subject to bias. C. Different in size. D. Error-free for researchers. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍相关研究发现复合维生素或可延缓衰老，同时说明该研究的实验过程、效果有限以及表观遗传时钟存在不足。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“That said, there may at least be small benefits with very little risk. “There have been no deleterious effects of a daily multivitamin that we’ve identified so far,” he said.(尽管如此，它至少有一些微小益处，且风险很低。他说：“到目前为止，我们还没有发现每日服用复合维生素会产生deleterious影响。”)”可知，前文提到风险很小，由此推断deleterious表示“有害的”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““This was a very rigorous (严谨的) randomized‑controlled trial: double‑blind, placebo‑controlled,” says Steve Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles.(加州大学洛杉矶分校的史蒂夫·霍瓦特表示：“这是一项十分严谨的随机对照试验：双盲、安慰剂对照。”)”可知，霍瓦特强调该研究实验流程十分严格。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““I should note, however, that the effect sizes are modest,” says Horvath, who develops epigenetic clocks. “This is not a fountain of youth.”(研发表观遗传时钟的霍瓦特表示：“不过我必须说明，它的效果有限。这并不是青春之泉。”)”可知，复合维生素在延缓衰老方面效果有限。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“One of the many issues with epigenetic clocks is that their estimates of how a slowing of the same degree translates into normal time vary widely between them, says Daniel Belsky at Columbia University in New York.(纽约哥伦比亚大学的丹尼尔・贝尔斯基表示，表观遗传时钟存在诸多问题，其中之一是：对于同等程度的衰老放缓对应实际时间如何变化，不同时钟的估算结果差异很大。)”可知，表观遗传时钟的估算结果并不统一，容易存在偏差。 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。 At a glance, a career in science can bring great rewards, yet it seems a challenging and demanding path. ____16____ It is wise to explore diverse scientific disciplines early on.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是作者在炎热午后好心搭载一位提着杂货的老妇人，因对方住处偏僻、接应的年轻人外形有威慑感而仓促离开，途中误以为手机被偷心生悔意，最终发现是老妇人不慎误拿手机，年轻人特意追来归还，这件事让作者领悟到不能仅凭外表刻板评判他人，普通人也能拥有高尚的品格。 【21题详解】 ‌考查动词。句意：我向北开车时，看到一位提着杂货的老妇人正艰难地向南走，显然需要帮助。A. glancing扫视；B. running奔跑；C. struggling艰难行进；D. riding骑行。根据上文“I saw an elderly woman with groceries”和下文“obviously in need of help”可知，老妇人提着沉重的杂货，在炎热的午后赶路，用struggling最能体现她步履维艰、需要帮助的状态。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：“但我怎么能在不阻碍傍晚时期车流的情况下安全停车呢？”我暗自思忖。A. complained抱怨；B. reasoned逻辑思考；C. confirmed确认；D. doubted怀疑。根据上文“But how can I safely stop without blocking late-afternoon traffic”可知，作者在为自己不停车的行为找合理的解释，用reasoned体现他当时的心理活动，表示作者在进行思考。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：这个想法暂时缓解了我的愧疚感。A. occasionally偶尔；B. completely完全地；C. gradually逐渐地；D. temporarily暂时地。根据下文“Yet I still made a U-turn”可知，作者还是掉头回去帮忙了，说明这份愧疚只是被暂时缓解，并没有彻底消失。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：但我还是掉了头，这惹恼了其他司机。A. annoyed使恼怒；B. discouraged使气馁；C. disappointed使失望；D. inspired鼓舞。根据上文“I still made a U-turn”和“late-afternoon traffic”可知，在车流中突然掉头的行为会影响其他车辆正常通行，自然会让其他司机感到恼怒。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：“愿上帝保佑你。”她说道，指引我往更南的方向开。A. urging催促；B. directing指引；C. driving驾驶；D. leaving离开。根据下文“me farther south. As we drove”可知，作者主动提出载老妇人一程，老妇人自然是要告知他目的地的方向，用directing符合语境。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. sensible明智的；B. mindless盲目的；C. uneasy不安的；D. curious好奇的。根据下文“streets and homeless people”可知，陌生的偏僻区域加上流浪汉，很容易让独自驾车的人产生不安的情绪。 【27题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. messy杂乱的；B. orderly有序的；C. safe安全的；D. busy繁忙的。根据下文“homeless people”可知，这里有流浪汉，整体环境不会是整洁有序的，messy最贴合该区域的特征。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：我迅速把她的东西卸下来，然后快速开车离开了。A. dropped放下、卸下；B. unpacked打开（包裹）；C. carried搬运；D. fetched取来。根据下文“her things off, and then quickly drove away”可知，作者当时感到威胁，只想快速把老妇人的东西从车上卸下来，立刻脱身，drop off是固定搭配，表示“卸下（物品）”。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我伸手去拿手机拨打911，却发现手机不见了。A. put away收好；B. picked up捡起；C. held on to紧紧抓住；D. reached for伸手去拿。根据下文“my phone to call 911”可知，遇到危险想要报警，自然是伸手去够放在某处的手机，reached for精准描述了这个动作。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：“她偷走了我的手机！”我心想，不禁后悔自己的善意之举。A. recalling回忆；B. mourning哀悼；C. regretting后悔；D. appreciating感激。根据上文“She stole it”可知，作者误以为自己的好心帮忙换来了手机被偷，自然会对之前的善意行为感到后悔。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：那个骑摩托车的人一直示意我停下，手里挥着个东西——正是我的手机！A. warning警告；B. signaling示意；C. forcing强迫；D. begging乞求。根据上文“Soon, a motorcycle roared behind me”和下文“me to stop, waving something”可知，他在作者车后骑行，通过挥手的方式向作者发出停车的信号，signaling符合场景逻辑。 【32题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我把车停了下来，他把手机递给我：“奶奶送过来这个手机——她是不小心拿走的。”A. in advance提前；B. in secret秘密地；C. by accident意外地；D. at random随意地。根据下文“I was sorry for my thoughts”可知，作者误会老妇人了，说明老妇人并不是故意偷手机，只是下车时不小心顺手带走了，by accident解释了手机不在作者身上的合理原因。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：我再也没有机会为我之前的恶意揣测向他们道歉了。A. attempt尝试；B. honour荣誉；C. motivation动机；D. chance机会。根据上文“soon disappeared into the night”可知，那个年轻人送完手机就消失在夜色里，作者之后再也没有遇到他们，自然没有道歉的机会。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：那天我还领悟到了别的东西：有时候我们会把别人判定为坏人，仅仅是因为他们的外表不符合我们心中认定的“正确标准”。A. behavior行为；B. appearance外表；C. perspective观点；D. personality性格。根据第第二段中“a young man, wearing long hair, on a motorcycle, was smiling at me, but appearing threatening”可知，年轻人留着长发、骑着摩托车，看起来有威胁感，这些都是外在的表象，让作者先入为主产生了偏见。 【35题详解】 ‌考查形容词。句意：他们或许没有开时髦的车，但谁又能说他们和我们不平等，甚至不比我们更高尚呢？A. generous慷慨的；B. friendly友好的；C. loyal忠诚的；D. equal平等的。根据上文“They may not drive a stylish car”可知，此处作者是想说不能以物质条件评判他人，每个人在人格上都是平等的，甚至拥有比普通人更可贵的品质。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky, ____36____ American teacher at Luoyang Foreign Language School, learned about Yin Yuzhen’s ongoing efforts to fight desertification in the Mu Us Sandy Land (毛乌素沙地). Deeply moved by her dedication, he raised $5,000 and donated the sum through a public foundation ____37____ (support) local tree-planting initiatives. He met dozens of local tree-planting volunteers in the sandy land, of ____38____ Yin Yuzhen was the most determined and devoted. During that visit in 1999, he and Yin built a sincere friendship. The two later lost contact and remained ____39____(separate) for 27 years. Though out of touch, Yin never abandoned her ecological mission. For nearly 40 years, she ____40____ (keep) working in afforestation and tended carefully to every tree cultivated with the donation. Her long-lasting efforts have grown young trees ____41____ a thriving forest of more than 50,000 trees, greatly restoring the local ecosystem. Out of deep ____42____(grateful), Yin released an online video on May 16, 2026, seeking to reconnect with her old friend and show him the tremendous environmental change. With widespread public support, the pair re-established phone contact on May 17, 2026.

For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing. The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces. The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business. Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.” On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong. Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest. 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。 Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage. “Ms. Chen, may I show you something?” He laid out a bookmark, and faded photos — tangible threads of the neighborhood’s memories. “This store isn’t just wood and shelves: here I learned to dream, Mrs. Henderson reads to kids weekly, and Mr. Hopkins found my first poetry book.” His eyes glistened as children glanced from the corner, clutching books. “It’s a living legacy, not just profit.” Sarah’s pen froze, her gaze softening and hesitation flickering across her face. A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. Workers handled the store with utmost care crafting a cozy café bar bathed in warm light. David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages. When the doors reopened, joy filled the air: kids stretched on cushions reading, and elders chatted over the bar. Mr. Hopkins smiled by the door as the store breathed new life — no longer just a book lovers’ shelter, but a vibrant harbour where memories endured and new stories unfolded. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Hopkins先生的书店多年来一直是书迷们的避风港，如今却面临关闭，原因是Sarah Chen要收购这座建筑用于商业行为，心灰意冷的Hopkins先生也决定放手，但这对其中一名顾客David来说犹如晴天霹雳，书店承载着他童年的记忆，见证了他成长的历程，在最终会议的那天，David背着多年来从书店里收集来的物品早早到达，看着Sarah与Hopkins先生一起审查合同，他的心在胸膛里剧烈地跳动着。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“如果他没有努力让自己的声音被听到，他绝不能让这种情况发生”可知，第一段可描写David向Sarah展示自己带的东西，讲述书店的意义，Sarah态度变得缓和。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终决定将书店和咖啡馆合二为一，开始进行建设。”可知，第二段可描写书店和咖啡馆建成，焕发出新的生机。 2.续写线索：走向Sarah——讲述书店的意义——态度变得柔和——最终决定——书店和咖啡馆建成——焕发新的生机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①浏览，草草翻阅：flip through/flick through ②铺开，展开：lay out/spread out ③闪闪发光：glisten/shine 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②欢乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage.（由连词as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages.  （由关系代词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
