Students take short notes after each partner meeting, showing the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit (学分) each. Requirements for completion:  One welcoming activity on the second Friday of the term  18 weekly one-hour pair meetings  Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings  At least three pair-teacher meetings  One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration (注册) process is as follows:  Students sign up and indicate the languages they can speak and languages they are interested in learning.  Based on the information entered by each student, possible pairs are identified.  Proficiency levels (熟练程度) are checked through coursework or placement tests.  Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not necessarily mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 1. What can students do in this programme? A. Hold daily meetings. B. Grade other students’ coursework. C. Take self-study courses. D. Practise language skills with peers. 2. Which task is a must for finishing the programme? A. Pass a written exam. B. Hand in weekly progress reports. C. Make a self-introduction video. D. Hold at least six meetings with teachers. 3. Why might a student fail to join the programme? A. They can’t find a suitable partner. B. They lack required course credits. C. They don’t apply through a teacher. D. They are not good at English. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一个语言交换项目的具体安排，包括项目内容、完成要求、报名注册流程以及相关提醒事项。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week. Students take short notes after each partner meeting, showing the language skills practised and the topics discussed.(语言交换项目让学生两人一组，每周用各自希望分享和学习的两种不同语言进行交流。每次伙伴会面后，学生需简要记录所练习的语言技能及讨论的话题)”可知，该项目允许学生结对交流，练习语言技能。因此，学生在这个项目中可以与同伴练习语言技能。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Requirements for completion”部分中的“Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings(所有双人会议的每周进度报告)”可知，完成该项目必须提交所有结对会面的每周进度报告。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Reminders”部分中的“Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme.(由于配对过程中涉及诸多因素，并非所有报名的学生都能成功匹配到搭档并注册参加该项目)”可知，学生可能因为找不到合适的伙伴而无法加入该项目。 B The Grammys celebrate the best in music, but, behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Music Educator Award, which recognizes those who have contributed significantly to and really care about music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, especially those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (智力和发展障碍). Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray won a $ 10,000 prize and the same amount for her school’s music program. In an interview, Ray credited her pupils for this recognition. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” The educator also got to attend the main Grammy ceremony, where musicians and other celebrities approached Ray to praise her efforts. “Many people came to tell me that a music educator changed their life,” Ray said. “And that was really touching.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments — something the school had struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to be full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5, when she learned to play the harp (竖琴). “The reason why I am where I am is that a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. 4. What is the purpose of the Music Educator Award? A. To raise funds for school music programs. B. To reward the best songwriters in the industry. C. To help excellent music students with disabilities. D. To honor those who greatly influence music education. 5. How did Ray feel about winning the award? A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Nervous. 6. What can we infer about the school’s financial situation before Ray won the award? A. It was well-funded by the local government. B. It had difficulty affording musical instruments. C. It offered rich scholarships for music learners. D. It refused to spend money on music programs. 7. What does Ray’s experience mainly show? A. Teachers can pass hope and dreams on. B. Musical gift can decide one’s future path. C. Awards and public praise bring endless benefits. D. Family education can inspire children’s lifelong hobbies. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述音乐教师Annie Ray荣获格莱美音乐教育奖及她的音乐教育初心与规划。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Music Educator Award, which recognizes those who have contributed significantly to and really care about music education.(这就是格莱美奖还颁发音乐教育工作者奖的原因，该奖项表彰那些为音乐教育做出重大贡献且真心热爱音乐教育的人。)”可知，该奖项是为表彰对音乐教育影响深远的教育者。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In an interview, Ray credited her pupils for this recognition. “This is the students’ award,” she said.(在一次采访中，Ray将这份荣誉归功于她的学生。她说：“这份奖属于学生们。”)”可知，她心怀感恩。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments — something the school had struggled to do.(如今雷打算用奖金购置乐器——这是学校此前一直难以办到的事。)”可推知，学校之前买不起乐器。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The reason why I am where I am is that a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator.(我能走到今天，是因为一位老师改变了我的人生，让我立志成为一名音乐教育者。)”结合全文她投身教育、点亮学生梦想的事迹可知，教师能够传递希望与梦想。 C Telemedicine refers to an electronic way of communication in the field of medicine. Patients, doctors, experts, and medical caregivers may exchange medical information by electronic means such as video conferencing, email, private messaging in smartphones, and other wireless electronic devices. The basic goal of electronic communication in the medical field is to provide the best possible care for patients and hopefully give them greater chances of having a speedy recovery or health improvement. Patients in rural areas and other remote places, for example, may benefit from telemedicine by way of getting the medical services as if they were physically present in a hospital. Through video conferencing, patients may report their worries to their doctors even if they are in remote areas. Telemedicine also enables doctors to easily and quickly communicate with other medical experts and caregivers concerning a patient’s condition. With the electronic devices, doctors can exchange medical information efficiently, respond promptly to patients’ needs and provide more choices for patients to get the best possible care. The practice of telemedicine also helps lower medical costs for patients and healthcare providers. On the patient side, unnecessary trips to the doctor’s workplace may be avoided with telemedicine services. For healthcare providers, the costs of unnecessary moves to other hospitals may also be avoided if there is a proper exchange of medical information through telemedicine platforms. Aside from patients in remote areas, doctors and caregivers working there also benefit from telemedicine. With regular communication with other medical experts, their knowledge and information regarding medical cases will also improve and therefore translate into increased skills and improved services to patients. 8. What can patients in remote areas enjoy from telemedicine? A. Free medicine. B. Timely medical advice. C. Mental health examination. D. Risk-free medical treatment. 9. How does telemedicine help patients reduce costs? A. By shortening treatment time. B. By offering volunteer caregivers. C. By reducing their need to go to the hospital. D. By lowering the price of normal medical care. 10. What does the underlined word “platforms” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Service systems. B. High buildings. C. Waiting halls. D. Medical stores. 11. What benefit can medical workers in remote areas get from telemedicine? A. They will get a pay rise. B. They will feel less stressed. C. They will develop their professional skills. D. They will have a better relationship with patients. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了远程医疗的定义、优势及其对患者和医护人员的益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Patients in rural areas and other remote places, for example, may benefit from telemedicine by way of getting the medical services as if they were physically present in a hospital. Through video conferencing, patients may report their worries to their doctors even if they are in remote areas. (例如，农村地区和其他偏远地区的患者可以通过远程医疗获得医疗服务，就像他们实际在医院一样。通过视频会议，即使患者在偏远地区，也可以向医生报告他们的担忧)”可知，偏远地区的患者能从远程医疗中获得及时的医疗建议。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The practice of telemedicine also helps lower medical costs for patients and healthcare providers. On the patient side, unnecessary trips to the doctor’s workplace may be avoided with telemedicine services. (远程医疗的实践还有助于降低患者和医疗保健提供者的医疗成本。在患者方面，通过远程医疗服务可以避免不必要的去医生办公室的行程)”可知，远程医疗通过减少患者去医院的次数来帮助患者降低成本。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“For healthcare providers, the costs of unnecessary moves to other hospitals may also be avoided if there is a proper exchange of medical information through telemedicine platforms. (对于医疗服务提供者来说，如果通过远程医疗platforms进行适当的医疗信息交换，也可以避免不必要地转移到其他医院的费用)”以及前文第二段提到“Through video conferencing, patients may report their worries to their doctors (通过视频会议，患者可以向医生报告他们的担忧)”和第三段“With the electronic devices, doctors can exchange medical information efficiently (通过电子设备，医生可以高效地交换医疗信息)”可知，platforms指的是前文所提到的远程医疗“服务系统”。故划线词意为“服务系统”，与“Service systems”同义。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Aside from patients in remote areas, doctors and caregivers working there also benefit from telemedicine. With regular communication with other medical experts, their knowledge and information regarding medical cases will also improve and therefore translate into increased skills and improved services to patients. (除了偏远地区的病人，在那里工作的医生和护理人员也受益于远程医疗。通过与其他医疗专家的定期交流，他们关于医疗案例的知识和信息也会提高，从而转化为技能的提升和对患者服务的改善)”可知，偏远地区的医务人员可以从远程医疗中发展专业技能。 D If you’ve been to a birthday party, you’ve probably seen it: the cake comes out, the candles are lit, the room sings, and the birthday person makes a wish before blowing them out. However, this moment didn’t start as just a party tradition. The simple act of blowing out birthday candles carries a rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient Greece, where people honored Artemis, goddess of the moon, with round honey cakes called “noûton-gonosupahon”. Historians like Marie Nicola suggest candlelight likely represented moonlight during lunar celebrations. “Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. As Greek customs spread, the Romans later absorbed many of these practices, introducing round cakes and candlelit offerings into birthday celebrations as their empire expanded (扩张). By the Middle Ages, Germans developed their own candle tradition through Kinderfest, a traditional festival celebrating children. People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1799 account of his 52nd birthday cake with 50 candles marks one of the earliest documented uses matching modern practice. The 19th century saw the tradition develop quickly. Swiss records from 1881 described cakes with candles representing each year of life — the first clear documentation of today’s celebration. Germans then brought the custom to America, where it gained new meaning: blowing out all candles in one breath ensured wishes come true. Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. By the 1920s, numbered candle sets began to be sold, while Disney’s 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Birthday Party strengthened the image in popular culture. After World War Ⅱ, American consumer culture exported the candle-blowing tradition globally, through tourism, kids’ media, and big brands, from Japan adopting it in the 1950s to Hallmark cards featuring candle imagery. What began as spiritual protection became a universal celebration of life-proving, and even ancient celebrations can develop into joyful traditions. As Nicola reflects, “That single breath blowing out candles still carries shadows of ancient prayers, now transformed into wishes for the future.” 12. What may early Greek candlelight stand for? A. The beauty of natural sunlight. B. The goddess’ existence. C. The power to keep people healthy. D. Symbols of Roman expansion. 13. Why did Germans keep candles burning all day on kids’ birthdays? A. To drive away evil spirits. B. To celebrate a good harvest. C. To record the child’s growth. D. To decorate holiday desserts. 14. Which of the following helped spread the custom globally? A. The detailed Swiss cake records. B. The growing popularity of cartoons. C. Mass production and media influence. D. Mass publication of famous German books. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Various ancient Greek religious gods. B. Origin and development of cake candles. C. Special practices to remember big days. D. Different birthday celebrations worldwide. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章追溯了生日蛋糕蜡烛习俗的起源与发展：从古希腊用烛光代表女神存在，到中世纪德国用蜡烛驱邪，再到近代通过工业生产和媒体传播成为全球性传统，最终演变为现代生日许愿的仪式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的““Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. (尼古拉指出：“火焰象征着印欧文化中诸神的存在。”)”可知，早期的烛光代表着神（女神）的存在。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. (当时的人们相信，孩子在生日当天容易受到恶灵伤害。因此，人们会将蜡烛点燃一整天，直到晚餐时分，认为蜡烛的烟雾具有保护作用，并能将孩子的愿望带往天堂。)”可知，德国人让蜡烛燃烧一整天是为了保护孩子免受恶灵伤害（驱赶恶灵）。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第五段首句“Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. (大规模生产和媒体宣传使这一传统传遍了全世界。)”可知，是大规模生产和媒体的影响帮助这一习俗在全球传播。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 纵观全文，文章第一段引出生日吹蜡烛的传统，第二段至第五段按时间顺序（古希腊、中世纪德国、19世纪、20世纪及二战后）详细介绍了这一传统的起源、演变以及如何传播到全球的过程。因此，文章主要讲述的是生日蛋糕蜡烛传统的起源与发展。 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。 Anyang is the northernmost city in Henan Province.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述安阳作为殷都、红旗渠所在地等的历史文化与发展变迁。 【16题详解】 根据上文“As the site of the ancient city of Yin, it once served as the capital of the Shang Dynasty.(作为殷墟所在地，这里曾是商朝的都城)”可知，上文介绍安阳是殷墟所在地，曾是商朝都城。A选项“It is China’s earliest recorded capital.(它是中国有文字记载的最早都城)”承接上文，继续补充安阳作为商代都城的地位。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In the early 20th century, the Shang Dynasty ruins were unearthed in Xiaotun Village, Yindu District of the city.(20 世纪初，在安阳市殷都区小屯村发掘出商朝遗址)”和下文“They also found the Houmuwu Ding — a rectangular bronze container and at the time, the biggest bronze object ever found.(他们还发掘出后母戊鼎 —— 一个长方形青铜器皿，也是当时出土的最大青铜器)”可知，上文提到发掘出商朝遗址，下文“also found”（还发现）是关键线索，说明空处是考古学家发现的另一样文物。F选项“考古学家发现刻有中国最早文字的甲骨”与下文发现后母戊鼎构成并列的考古发现，They指代Archaeologists。 【18题详解】 根据上文“In the third century, a large number of literati and poets (文人骚客) created many masterpieces here.(公元三世纪，大批文人墨客在此留下众多传世佳作)”和下文“It greatly influenced Chinese literature for centuries after.(在那之后数百年间，它深刻影响着中国文学)”可知，本段主题是文人墨客在此创作大量作品，对后世文学影响深远。E选项“他们的作品造就了著名的建安文学风格”中的Their works指代上文文人的作品，Jian’an Style of literature对应下文对中国文学的影响。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Forty years on, Linzhou’s groundwater and soil have changed a lot.(四十年过去，林州的地下水与土壤环境发生巨大变化)”和下文“Standing on top of a hill in the outskirt of Linzhou City, one can see green mountains and crop fields.(站在林州市郊区的山顶上，人们可以看到青山和农田)”可知，上文讲红旗渠建成后，林州水土发生巨大变化；下文描写青山农田的景象。G选项“有充足水源和肥沃土壤，林州拥有林场、鱼塘和果园”承接水土改善，引出下文的美景。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It’s a direct way to experience the project and its tough building process. Along the major channel (水渠) of over 70 kilometers, people can feel the great devotion of the builders when they pass by every cliff and tunnel.(这是亲身感受这项工程及其艰难建造过程最直接的方式。沿着 70 多公里的主干渠，途经每一处悬崖与隧道时，人们都能体会建设者巨大的奉献精神)”可知，空后It指代空格内容。下文说沿着主干渠游览，感受建设历程。D选项“如今很多人喜欢在好天气沿着红旗渠徒步游览”中walk along the Hongqi Qu就是下文It所指代的体验方式。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last weekend, my family visited Yellowstone National Park.

Mr. Tide introduced me to the class and mentioned that my family had just moved to Chicago from Jamaica. The class warmly welcomed me and sang songs. Then Mr. Tide took this opportunity to share some facts about Jamaica. Every topic brought back memories. I soon slipped off into (陷入) daydreams of sitting in class with my friends as the warm and gentle wind went in through the windows. In contrast, the windows were closed tight against the snow here. Suddenly, Mr. Tide’s voice pulled me back and he asked me how schools in Jamaica were different from those here. I stood up, struggling to open my mouth. Part of me wanted to speak with Jamaican rhythm (节奏). But the other part wanted to change my pronunciation to sound like everyone else. In the end, I spoke carefully about the school uniform in Jamaica. I could have told them about the morning gathering, or the mango tree we climbed during breaks. But I chose a safer answer, which didn’t sound too foreign. To my surprise, no one laughed at my accent. A boy asked if I played sports and I told him proudly I was captain of the school’s cricket (板球) team, waiting for the admiration that usually followed. Silence. Confused faces. No one knew my favorite game! I reached into my bag and pulled out my cricket bat and ball, hoping to explain — but the bell rang before I could. At lunch, I sat alone, eating a cheeseburger — a poor dish to replace with the patty (肉饼) I loved back home. I tried to like it. But with each bite, I missed home more. 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。 Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a book about world sports. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, the smell of Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a book about world sports. He pointed to a photo and asked if it was the cricket. I nodded and pulled out my bat and ball. His eyes lit up with curiosity, hoping I could teach him. I hesitated, then agreed. After school, we met on the field. I showed him how to hold the flat bat, how to stand, how to swing. He missed the first few throws but kept trying. For the rest of the afternoon, it was just the two of us — passing the ball, laughing at his wild swings, and me forgetting to “correct” my vowels. When I got home, the smell of Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door. I took a bite, and the familiar flavor flooded my mouth. For a moment, I was back in Jamaica, like an ordinary afternoon of playing cricket and enjoying a patty. I thought about Kevin, how eagerly he had swung my bat, how my real accent had slipped out unnoticed. Maybe I didn’t have to sound American to belong, because home wasn’t a place I left behind, it was something I carried with me, in my sport, taste and accent. My different culture could be a bridge, rather than a wall. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从牙买加搬家到芝加哥后，转入新学校的一段经历。起初作者感到格格不入，课堂上老师让他介绍牙买加的学校，他刻意收敛自己的口音，选择了比较稳妥、不显得太过异域的内容来介绍。当他说起自己是板球队队长时，却发现班上同学都不了解板球这项运动。午餐时独自吃着不习惯的食物，思乡之情油然而生。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Kevin请求作者教他打板球以及作者教Kevin打板球的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者吃完牙买加菜肴后回想起在牙买加的美好回忆以及和Kevin相处的点点滴滴，并由此产生感悟。 2.续写线索：Kevin请求作者教他打板球——作者教授打板球的经过——吃完牙买加菜肴后美好回忆——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/demonstrate ②同意：agree/approve 情绪类 ①渴望地：eagerly/longingly ②享受：enjoy/relish 【点睛】[高分句型1]His eyes lit up with curiosity, hoping I could teach him.（运用了现在分词作状语，省略了that的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Maybe I didn’t have to sound American to belong, because home wasn’t a place I left behind, it was something I carried with me, in my sport, taste and accent.（运用了because引导原因状语从句，省略了that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 子洲中学2025~2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5．考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 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段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，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。 1.

Students take short notes after each partner meeting, showing the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit (学分) each. Requirements for completion:  One welcoming activity on the second Friday of the term  18 weekly one-hour pair meetings  Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings  At least three pair-teacher meetings  One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration (注册) process is as follows:  Students sign up and indicate the languages they can speak and languages they are interested in learning.  Based on the information entered by each student, possible pairs are identified.  Proficiency levels (熟练程度) are checked through coursework or placement tests.  Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not necessarily mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 1. What can students do in this programme? A. Hold daily meetings. B. Grade other students’ coursework. C. Take self-study courses. D. Practise language skills with peers. 2. Which task is a must for finishing the programme? A. Pass a written exam. B. Hand in weekly progress reports. C. Make a self-introduction video. D. Hold at least six meetings with teachers. 3. Why might a student fail to join the programme? A. They can’t find a suitable partner. B. They lack required course credits. C. They don’t apply through a teacher. D. They are not good at English. B The Grammys celebrate the best in music, but, behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Music Educator Award, which recognizes those who have contributed significantly to and really care about music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, especially those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (智力和发展障碍). Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray won a $ 10,000 prize and the same amount for her school’s music program. In an interview, Ray credited her pupils for this recognition. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” The educator also got to attend the main Grammy ceremony, where musicians and other celebrities approached Ray to praise her efforts. “Many people came to tell me that a music educator changed their life,” Ray said. “And that was really touching.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments — something the school had struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to be full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5, when she learned to play the harp (竖琴). “The reason why I am where I am is that a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. 4. What is the purpose of the Music Educator Award? A. To raise funds for school music programs. B. To reward the best songwriters in the industry. C. To help excellent music students with disabilities. D. To honor those who greatly influence music education. 5. How did Ray feel about winning the award? A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Nervous. 6. What can we infer about the school’s financial situation before Ray won the award? A. It was well-funded by the local government. B. It had difficulty affording musical instruments. C. It offered rich scholarships for music learners. D. It refused to spend money on music programs. 7. What does Ray’s experience mainly show? A. Teachers can pass hope and dreams on. B. Musical gift can decide one’s future path. C. Awards and public praise bring endless benefits. D. Family education can inspire children’s lifelong hobbies. C Telemedicine refers to an electronic way of communication in the field of medicine. Patients, doctors, experts, and medical caregivers may exchange medical information by electronic means such as video conferencing, email, private messaging in smartphones, and other wireless electronic devices. The basic goal of electronic communication in the medical field is to provide the best possible care for patients and hopefully give them greater chances of having a speedy recovery or health improvement. Patients in rural areas and other remote places, for example, may benefit from telemedicine by way of getting the medical services as if they were physically present in a hospital. Through video conferencing, patients may report their worries to their doctors even if they are in remote areas. Telemedicine also enables doctors to easily and quickly communicate with other medical experts and caregivers concerning a patient’s condition. With the electronic devices, doctors can exchange medical information efficiently, respond promptly to patients’ needs and provide more choices for patients to get the best possible care. The practice of telemedicine also helps lower medical costs for patients and healthcare providers. On the patient side, unnecessary trips to the doctor’s workplace may be avoided with telemedicine services. For healthcare providers, the costs of unnecessary moves to other hospitals may also be avoided if there is a proper exchange of medical information through telemedicine platforms. Aside from patients in remote areas, doctors and caregivers working there also benefit from telemedicine. With regular communication with other medical experts, their knowledge and information regarding medical cases will also improve and therefore translate into increased skills and improved services to patients. 8. What can patients in remote areas enjoy from telemedicine? A. Free medicine. B. Timely medical advice. C. Mental health examination. D. Risk-free medical treatment. 9. How does telemedicine help patients reduce costs? A. By shortening treatment time. B. By offering volunteer caregivers. C. By reducing their need to go to the hospital. D. By lowering the price of normal medical care. 10. What does the underlined word “platforms” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Service systems. B. High buildings. C. Waiting halls. D. Medical stores. 11. What benefit can medical workers in remote areas get from telemedicine? A. They will get a pay rise. B. They will feel less stressed. C. They will develop their professional skills. D. They will have a better relationship with patients. D If you’ve been to a birthday party, you’ve probably seen it: the cake comes out, the candles are lit, the room sings, and the birthday person makes a wish before blowing them out. However, this moment didn’t start as just a party tradition. The simple act of blowing out birthday candles carries a rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient Greece, where people honored Artemis, goddess of the moon, with round honey cakes called “noûton-gonosupahon”. Historians like Marie Nicola suggest candlelight likely represented moonlight during lunar celebrations. “Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. As Greek customs spread, the Romans later absorbed many of these practices, introducing round cakes and candlelit offerings into birthday celebrations as their empire expanded (扩张). By the Middle Ages, Germans developed their own candle tradition through Kinderfest, a traditional festival celebrating children. People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1799 account of his 52nd birthday cake with 50 candles marks one of the earliest documented uses matching modern practice. The 19th century saw the tradition develop quickly. Swiss records from 1881 described cakes with candles representing each year of life — the first clear documentation of today’s celebration. Germans then brought the custom to America, where it gained new meaning: blowing out all candles in one breath ensured wishes come true. Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. By the 1920s, numbered candle sets began to be sold, while Disney’s 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Birthday Party strengthened the image in popular culture. After World War Ⅱ, American consumer culture exported the candle-blowing tradition globally, through tourism, kids’ media, and big brands, from Japan adopting it in the 1950s to Hallmark cards featuring candle imagery. What began as spiritual protection became a universal celebration of life-proving, and even ancient celebrations can develop into joyful traditions. As Nicola reflects, “That single breath blowing out candles still carries shadows of ancient prayers, now transformed into wishes for the future.” 12. What may early Greek candlelight stand for? A. The beauty of natural sunlight. B. The goddess’ existence. C. The power to keep people healthy. D. Symbols of Roman expansion. 13. Why did Germans keep candles burning all day on kids’ birthdays? A. To drive away evil spirits. B. To celebrate a good harvest. C. To record the child’s growth. D. To decorate holiday desserts. 14. Which of the following helped spread the custom globally? A. The detailed Swiss cake records. B. The growing popularity of cartoons. C. Mass production and media influence. D. Mass publication of famous German books. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Various ancient Greek religious gods. B. Origin and development of cake candles. C. Special practices to remember big days. D. Different birthday celebrations worldwide. 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。 Anyang is the northernmost city in Henan Province.

Mr. Tide introduced me to the class and mentioned that my family had just moved to Chicago from Jamaica. The class warmly welcomed me and sang songs. Then Mr. Tide took this opportunity to share some facts about Jamaica. Every topic brought back memories. I soon slipped off into (陷入) daydreams of sitting in class with my friends as the warm and gentle wind went in through the windows. In contrast, the windows were closed tight against the snow here. Suddenly, Mr. Tide’s voice pulled me back and he asked me how schools in Jamaica were different from those here. I stood up, struggling to open my mouth. Part of me wanted to speak with Jamaican rhythm (节奏). But the other part wanted to change my pronunciation to sound like everyone else. In the end, I spoke carefully about the school uniform in Jamaica. I could have told them about the morning gathering, or the mango tree we climbed during breaks. But I chose a safer answer, which didn’t sound too foreign. To my surprise, no one laughed at my accent. A boy asked if I played sports and I told him proudly I was captain of the school’s cricket (板球) team, waiting for the admiration that usually followed. Silence. Confused faces. No one knew my favorite game! I reached into my bag and pulled out my cricket bat and ball, hoping to explain — but the bell rang before I could. At lunch, I sat alone, eating a cheeseburger — a poor dish to replace with the patty (肉饼) I loved back home. I tried to like it. But with each bite, I missed home more. 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。 Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a book about world sports. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, the smell of Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
