I’m writing to share with you the Mid-Autumn Festival I’ve just celebrated. As one of the most significant festivals in China, it falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon appears fullest and brightest all year round. On this special day, my family gathered for a feast. We enjoyed tasty mooncakes and admired the glowing full moon. More than merely a traditional celebration, the festival profoundly symbolizes family reunion and harmony. It conveys people’s warm wishes for loved ones and embodies the timeless value of cherishing family bonds. It was truly a heartwarming celebration. I hope you can come and experience it one day. Yours, Li Hua 第二节：读后续写（满分20分） Several days later, the principal invited him for a walk. They stopped under the tall old tree. Sunlight filtered through leafy branches, casting shadows on the ground. The principal gestured for Tom to look up. Tom raised his head and witnessed a touching scene. Gathering closely around their mother on the branch, the baby birds chirped merrily, their fluffy bodies snuggling together in the gentle breeze. Suddenly, Tom felt a sense of shame. His own overwhelming anxiety had blinded him to the beauty of nature. Smiling gently, the principal patted his shoulder. “Nature has its own rhythm, Tom. Maybe you just need to find yours.” Moved and enlightened, Tom followed the principal’s advice. Back in the classroom, when the familiar chirping began again, he didn’t frown. Instead, he closed his eyes for a second, recalling the lively scene under the tree. The birdsong was no longer a sharp interruption, but a gentle, natural melody. He redirected his focus to his books, and surprisingly, his stress melted away, and his efficiency improved significantly. He began to see the noise not as a disturbance, but as a unique rhythm of the campus life. He truly understood the principal’s wisdom: coexisting with discomfort in our life is indeed a treasure for a lifetime. Later, he even began to watch the birds from time to time. Those lively songs, once his greatest trouble, turned into a gentle lesson he would always remember. 听力原文 Text 1 M: Are you still thinking about getting a cat? W: I was, but my landlady doesn’t allow pets. I’ve been looking for a pet-friendly place for a week, and it’s exhausting! Text 2 W: This is my first time experiencing Chinese folk music live. I had thought it would be dull. M: I’m so glad you didn’t miss it. How do you find the concert? W: It felt like only 3 minutes had passed but suddenly it was already over. Text 3 M: Time to go to the airport. Did you get everything? W: Let me check. Wallet, passport, phone. Wait, my charger! It’s still on the nightstand. I can’t survive without it. One second! M: Hurry up! We are running late! Text 4 W: Dad, Dad! Hey, look! That rabbit in the cartoon is super cute! I wish we had one! M: Shh… Sweetie, please keep your voice down. I’m on an important online meeting. W: Oops, sorry! I’ll go watch in my room. Text 5 M: Excuse me, am I on the right train to City Park? W: No, you should get off at Central Square and switch to Line B there. M: Thanks. Is it far? W: Just two stops. Text 6 W: Good afternoon! Are you looking for a dishwasher? M: Yes, do you have any recommendations? W: We have two popular models: CleanPro and Fresh S10. M: What’s the difference? W: Fresh S10 is our bestseller. It holds 16 place settings and has multiple wash cycles. CleanPro has a unique system to keep the inside fresh and clean automatically. M: Hmm, it’s hard to decide. W: Delivery is free for both, but the Fresh S10 is the last one in stock, so it’s half off! M: A good bargain. I’ll take it! Text 7 W: Hello, this is Modern Art Gallery. Can I help you? M: Hi, I’m calling about your Van Gogh Art exhibition. Is it still on? What’s the highlight? W: Yes, it runs until September 22nd. Instead of hanging on walls, his paintings are projected onto the ceiling, walls, and floor. You can be completely surrounded by his art. M: Cool! Should I book in advance? W: It’s a hot ticket right now. Even if you come early on weekdays, there’s no guarantee without a reservation. M: Good to know. What are the opening hours? W: 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. But no one will be admitted one hour before closing time. M: Thanks, I’ll book now. Text 8 M: Hey Jenny, I’m thinking of starting an outdoor hiking club. Are you interested? W: Really, Henry? Count me in! I love hiking! I go with my dad twice a month. M: OK. I got the idea after the summer camp hiking trip last year. We stayed overnight in the mountains. It was amazing! W: That sounds incredible! So what do we need to get the club approved? M: We need a teacher advisor, 15 amateur members, and a plan for year-round activities. W: That shouldn’t be hard. I know some potential members. M: Exactly. I’m asking Mr. Thompson, our geography teacher, to be advisor. He guided hiking trips before. W: Perfect! How often would we meet? The art club meets every week, but that seems like a lot. M: Once a fortnight. And maybe we can team up with other clubs to try something new. W: I can’t wait to get started! Text 9 M: Hey Mia, have you tried that new restaurant just around the block? The lines are crazy. W: Yeah, I went there once. They cut meat right there and cook in a hot pan. Everything is done in seconds. M: I found it went viral after some students posted videos online. Now it’s on everyone’s list. W: No surprise. Compared to pre-made meals, which can be costly and not always healthy, people are eager for something special and fresh. That’s what draws the crowd. M: The price is reasonable too, around fifty yuan for a meal. W: True, and freshness matters most. But it’s too hot. My mouth burned a lot after just a few bites. M: Really? I’m a regular there and I’m a huge spice lover. W: Well, it’s not my taste, but I’ll recommend it to my friends. M: By the way, have you finished the quarterly report? The manager is asking for it. W: Almost done, just need to double-check the numbers. I’ll send it to you by this afternoon. Text 10 Hello, everyone. As we all know, our annual STEM Day on December 11 is just around the corner. This date is chosen because it celebrates the opening day of our school’s Science Center. But this year is going to be really special. Our former student and famous physicist, Dr. James Anderson, who initiated the STEM Day, will return to join the celebration. Our STEM Day has grown into something far beyond traditional celebrations. Yes, you’ll still find classic fun like science quizzes, 3D-printed models display and machine learning books available in the library. But this year, we’re launching an exciting new hands-on activity: a VEX GO tournament where you’ll build, test, and program a robot and compete before audience. This year, anyone who completes a challenge gets a mini robotics set — a small reward to take home and explore. This celebration reminds us that STEM isn’t just subjects in class, but useful tools that shape our modern world. So mark your calendars, sign up at the front office, join the fun. Maybe you’ll understand why we science teachers get so excited about it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 树德中学高2024级高三上学期9月阶段性测试英语试题 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 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.

B Jokūbas, a seventeen-year-old climbing athlete from a small town in Lithuania, had spent three years seeking a single goal: qualifying for the Youth World Championships. Every muscle ache, every early morning, every canceled weekend with friends had been justified by that dream, yet when the moment of truth finally arrived at the national qualifiers, he froze on the wall, his fingers slipping from a hold he had grasped a thousand times before, and he watched as a younger competitor claimed the spot which he had convinced himself belonged to him. What followed was not anger but something far more damaging: a quiet, slow-spreading shame that made him avoid the climbing gym entirely for weeks. His coach, a retired Olympian named Dovile, did not offer easy comfort when he finally returned. Instead, she led him to a training board marked with routes he had mastered years ago, routes that now felt impossible because his mind had become his greatest enemy. “You have forgotten,” she said, “that the wall does not care about your past victories. It only asks whether you are willing to fall again.” Those words, simple as they were, settled themselves somewhere deep in his chest and refused to leave. He began showing up not to prove anything to anyone but to practice falling-Intentionally letting go, hitting the mats (垫子), and pulling himself back up until the fear of failure no longer held him prisoner. The transformation was gradual rather than dramatic, but when the next competition season arrived, Jokūbas climbed not as someone desperate to win but as someone who had finally learned to trust the process itself. He did not take first place that day, nor did he qualify for the championship he had once valued above all else. Yet as he walked off the mat, he understood that the real victory had occurred long before, on those quiet afternoons when he chose to keep climbing despite having every reason to quit. 24. What did Jokūbas do for his dream? A. He sacrificed his spare time. B. He trained with his competitors. C. He joined extra competitions. D. He trained through serious injuries. 25. Which can best describe Jokūbas after he failed? A. He felt angry with himself. B. He grew greatly ashamed. C. He doubted his coach’s advice. D. He gave up climbing totally. 26. What can we infer about Dovile? A. She focused on mental state. B. She emphasized contest results. C. She had no pity on real losers. D. She tended to avoid challenges. 27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To praise top young athletes. B. To introduce climbing skills. C. To share a lesson on failure. D. To comment on game rules. C Imagine wandering through a dark forest for hours, then traveling all the way home — in a straight line. Bull ants do this every night, and scientists have long wondered how. It turns out they use a previously unknown type of Moon compass (指南针) — never seen before in the animal kingdom. To figure it out, Cody Freas, a behavioral ecologist, and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests. They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box. Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away — an abandoned basketball court — to test which direction they traveled home. After comparing their separate paths, the team concluded the behavior of ants that could see moonlight was consistent with what’s called a time-compensated lunar compass. Essentially, the insects observe how quickly the Moon moves to estimate the relative position of their home and update that prediction with time. The dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement complicates this strategy. It rises slowly, speeds up when it’s at the highest point in the sky, and then slows down as it sets. Ants could be terribly misled if they don’t account for that, but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon’s speed shifts, and they compensate for it. The discovery makes bull ants the first known animals to navigate using this type of compass. Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages. Unlike stars, which other insects use to navigate, the Moon is not blocked by light pollution, and it can be bright enough to break through clouds. Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky, so they can sense the Moon’s position, even when it’s below the horizon. Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid. “The more time you spend under the Moon,” he says, “the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think.” 28. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process. B. The purposes. C. The background. D. The findings. 29. What helps bull ants navigate correctly according to the text? A. Their familiarity with the path to home. B. Their tolerance for the Moon’s movement C. Their independence from time compensation. D. Their adjustment to the Moon’s speed change. 30. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A. Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants. B. Bull ants’ eyes are characterized by circular patterns. C. Light pollution affects bull ants’ sense of direction. D. Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon. 31. What does Freas think of bull ants using Moon compass? A. It’s controversial. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s mysterious. D. It’s amazing. D The 21st century has created a whole range of new types of professionals that we have never had before — or if not quite new, at least newly repackaged. The world has always had influential people, for instance, but only now do we have “Influencer”. Similarly, the corporate world (商界) has certainly known its fair share of disruption, yet it is only in the last couple of decades that the “Disruptor” has become a recognizable figure in the way we talk about big business. In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.” Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it? When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one. Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realize we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days. What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken. 32. Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is ________. A. Supportive B. doubtful C. conflicted D. disappointed 33. What does the word “impetuous” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. short-sighted B. narrow-minded C. hot-headed D. old-fashioned 34. What can we infer from this passage about the Disruptor? A. They may clear up other people’s mess. B. They are in favour of the preventive principle. C. They preserve more traditions than they break. D. They may create more problems than they solve. 35. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Humility should be a driving force for human progress. B. Innovation should move forward the wheel of tradition. C. Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom. D. Disruption should be given priority in social development. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 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。 On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event. 36 Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered. 37 The message to consumers was plain: Huawei had no intention of giving up its ground. Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers. In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market. 38 No other company came close. 39 In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat. Many analysts agree: Apple’s entry has finally made the foldable form impossible to doubt, and the company best placed to profit from a bigger market is the one that already leads it. Production targets for Huawei’s foldable lines are said to be rising for the second half of the year. Rather than narrowing its defense, Huawei is widening it. Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper. 40 All of these devices run on Huawei’s own Kirin chips and HarmonyOS — a sign that the battle for the future of folding phones has only begun. A. Many buyers, however, say they would rather wait for a second generation. B. This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own. C. Huawei first entered the foldable market in 2019 with its original Mate X. D. That confidence, however, tells only half the story. E. This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it. F. Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei. G. Such dominance took years of patient work to build. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 1940, the crowd outside the Japanese consulate in Kaunas, Lithuania, was 41 by the hour. Hundreds of Jewish families had 42 Nazi-occupied Poland and now stood at the gates, hoping for the transit visas that were their only road east. Without those papers, the journey 43 here. The consul, Chiune Sugihara, wired Tokyo three times for 44 to issue them. Three times Tokyo said no. For days, Sugihara 45 the order against the crowd outside his window. Obeying would protect his career; refusing to act would mean abandoning thousands to a fate he refused even to 46 . He chose his conscience. He began handwriting visas, up to three hundred a day, working until his hand 47 . When the consulate was finally 48 , he moved to a hotel and kept writing; even as his train pulled out, witnesses said, he was still throwing papers into the crowd below. His courage cost him dear: dismissed from the foreign service, he spent the rest of his life in 49 , almost never mentioning what he had done. The world, it seemed, had forgotten him. Then, decades later, survivors managed to 50 him down, and in 1985 Israel named him one of the “Righteous Among the Nations” — an honor given only to non-Jews who had 51 everything to save lives. Asked to 52 himself, he answered: “I may have to disobey my government, but if I don’t, I would be disobeying God.” His story 53 every reader with the same uncomfortable question: when duty and conscience 54 in opposite directions, which one deserves the final word? Sugihara believed a single signature could 55 for more than an order — that a quiet man with a pen could turn paper into a lifeline. For the families at his gate had known what “here” meant: without a visa, the road simply stopped, and what waited at its end needed no naming. 41. A. shouting B. sleeping C. growing D. leaving 42. A. entered B. fled C. visited D. toured 43. A. ended B. turned C. began D. widened 44. A. money B. courage C. permission D. paper 45. A. weighed B. signed C. mailed D. dropped 46.

Faced with endless daily tests and heavy learning tasks, he spared no effort to make progress step by step. Every day, he devoted himself fully to his studies, hoping to lay a solid foundation for his future studies. For him, every moment of study was precious, and a peaceful, undisturbed learning environment was essential to efficient revision. However, an unexpected trouble came to him. A flock of birds built their nests in the tall old tree just outside his classroom window. From early morning till sunset, the birds kept singing loudly and non-stop. The sharp and continuous chirping cut through the quiet classroom again and again, easily breaking his train of thought Whenever he tried to memorize key knowledge or focus on difficult exercises, the noisy sounds would distract him at once. Gradually, he grew restless and frustrated. As the monthly exam approached, his stress built up day by day. One tired evening, after wasting plenty of time and failing to finish his homework smoothly because of the noise, he could no longer hold back his annoyance. He took up his pen and wrote a heartfelt letter to the principal (校长), earnestly requesting the school to clear away the bird nests so that students could study in peace. He mailed the letter with mixed feelings, not sure whether his request would be approved. In the following days, he waited anxiously, still troubled by the bird songs and unable to settle down. He tried hard to ignore the noise, yet his anger never faded away. He even felt a little disappointed, worrying that no one would notice his trouble. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Several days later, the principal invited him for a walk. Moved and enlightened, Tom followed the principal’s advice. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
