She explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags. I offered to carry her things and walked her back home but she refused because she didn’t want to give me any trouble. I told her it didn’t matter and her home was on my way home. It was a white lie. As I walked with her, she talked with me and introduced herself. I in turn told her my name. She asked if I knew Ray Robert. I was shocked and said, “Yes, that was my dad.” It turned out this lady was my dad’s neighbor, who had looked after my dad when my grandmother died thirty years ago. My dad had often spoken of her, but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family. It was a lovely moment for both of us. When I got home and told my dad about the incident, it made him cry. I was so moved. I am glad that my small, active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to the two people. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a kid will remember for a lifetime. Family Game Night Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own. Charades (猜字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge kids to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out. Family Art Time Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing — take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination. Family Picnic Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing. Family Field Trip A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work — you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids. 21．(2.5分)What are kids supposed to do when playing the game charades? A．Prepare some cakes for each other. B．Be quick to follow others’ actions. C．Sing a song for each other in turn. D．Connect actions with certain words. 22．(2.5分)What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．It costs a lot to visit a park for a family. B．You may share your own experience with workers. C．You should ask for permission from the farm owner. D．All the people will be excited to share what they have with you. 23．(2.5分)Whom is the passage mainly intended for? A．Teachers. B．Parents. C．Tourists. D．Teenagers. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了四个以家庭为单位的免费活动，这些活动能带给参与的孩子更多的乐趣和回忆。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据Family Game Night部分“Charades (猜字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge kids to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.(猜字谜游戏是一种有趣的游戏，能激发孩子们的想象力。将家庭成员分成两组，一组想词，另一组要把词表演出来)”可知，在玩字谜游戏时，孩子们应该把动作和特定的单词联系起来。 22．推理判断题。根据Family Field Trip部分“Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. (问问附近的农场，你是否可以带你的孩子出去参观，看看一些动物)”可推知，你应该征求农场主人的同意。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段“There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. (有很多有趣且免费的活动可供全家一起开展。只需要一点想象力和时间)”以及下文反复出现的Kids、family可知，这篇文章主要介绍了几个以家庭为单位的免费活动，这些活动能带给参与的孩子更多的乐趣和回忆，由此可推知，这篇文章主要是写给父母的。 （本题10分）In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, he learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him. A few years later, Brad decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time. While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to appreciate everything in a more meaningful way. The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. To keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together. Such a challenge would be a huge achievement for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence. After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world. 24．(2.5分)What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To sum up the whole story. B．To show Brad’s love for travelling. C．To explain Brad and his grandma’s trip reason. D．To describe the beautiful scenery during adventures. 25．(2.5分)What did Brad worry about at first on his first trip with his grandmother? A．High cost. B．Less fun. C．Bad weather. D．Poor health. 26．(2.5分)What did Brad think his grandma’s trip was like? A．She always felt very tired. B．She was close to giving up. C．She enjoyed it all the time. D．She was too old to go to many places. 27．(2.5分)What was Brad and his grandmother’s next plan? A．They would travel farther. B．They decided on the National Park. C．They wanted to have a break. D．They could post their stories online. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了布拉德·瑞安和祖母乔伊·瑞安一起旅行探险的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, he learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him.(2010年，当布拉德·瑞安讲述他之前徒步旅行和攀登一座名山的冒险经历时，他得知他的祖母乔伊·瑞安从未见过山，这是她一生的遗憾之一。那次谈话一直萦绕在他心头)”可知，第一段主要讲述了布拉德得知祖母从未见过山，这成为她一生的遗憾之一，这个对话一直留在他的心里，从而引出了后文他和祖母一起去旅行的故事。所以第一段的作用是解释布拉德和他祖母旅行的原因。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case.(虽然他知道和一位老人一起旅行可能会破坏乐趣，但布拉德很快发现事实并非如此)”可知，一开始布拉德担心和祖母一起旅行乐趣会减少。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience.(第一次旅行在布拉德心中种下了一颗快乐的种子，他很高兴看到祖母如此享受这次经历)”以及第五段中“Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence.(布拉德说，祖母看世界的视角与他这个年龄的大多数人非常不同，因为她参观一个地方时不会想，“嗯，我还会再来的”，所以她更投入)”可知，布拉德认为祖母一直很享受这次旅行。故选C项。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world.(2023年，他们到达了最后一站——南太平洋的美国萨摩亚国家公园，他们比以往任何时候都更亲密，最终决定尝试去世界上的每一个大陆旅行)”可知，布拉德和他祖母的下一个计划是去更远的地方旅行，即去世界上的每一个大陆旅行。故选A项。 （本题10分）In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media.

Many boys now feel lonely, isolated, and confused, struggling with developing the ability to express themselves in a positive way. Christopher Pepper, a middle and high school educator, has spent years helping boys and their families. He points out that smartphones and video games have taken up much of teenagers’ time, reducing in-person interactions like hanging out or dating. This isolation makes it harder for parents to connect with their sons. Also, many boys feel anxious about social relationships, unsure how to interact with others without crossing lines. Pepper shares practical tips for fathers. First, choose natural moments for conversations. Side-by-side activities like driving, walking, or playing basketball work well, as boys often open up while doing something active. Second, be honest and use storytelling. Sharing simple stories about one’s own experiences or a friend’s can help ease the embarrassment of tough topics. Third, encourage boys to speak up and listen actively. Let them know it’s okay to express emotions, and that showing vulnerability (脆弱) isn’t a sign of weakness. It is significant for fathers to keep interacting with their sons, even when the boys seem to push back. Boys of this age still need guidance from caring adults. Without positive connections, some may turn to harmful groups for answers. By having open, regular talks, fathers can help their sons grow into confident, caring young men who know how to build healthy relationships. 32．(2.5分)Why is it difficult for parents to connect with their adolescent sons? A．Boys are unwilling to share their feelings with parents. B．Parents spend too much time on work and housework. C．Electronic products reduce boys’ in-person interactions. D．Boys are too busy with their after-school activities. 33．(2.5分)Which way of communication does Pepper recommend for fathers? A．Sharing daily stories over the Internet. B．Chatting casually while playing badminton. C．Discussing serious topics at dinner. D．Having a formal talk in the living room. 34．(2.5分)How can fathers make tough topics less awkward when talking to their sons? A．By using strict rules. B．By avoiding personal stories. C．By sharing their own simple stories. D．By letting others handle the conversation. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To explain social media’s effect on boys’ anxiety. B．To show fathers’ important role in guiding teen boys. C．To argue boys should handle tough topics alone. D．To analyze the difficulties of raising adolescent boys. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如今抚养青春期男孩的困难，并提供了教育者 Christopher Pepper关于父亲如何与儿子有效沟通的实用建议，强调了父亲在引导他们方面的重要作用。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“He points out that smartphones and video games have taken up much of teenagers’ time, reducing in-person interactions like hanging out or dating. This isolation makes it harder for parents to connect with their sons. (他指出，智能手机和电子游戏占据了青少年大量的时间，减少了像外出闲逛或约会这样的面对面互动。这种孤立使得父母更难与儿子建立联系)”可知，电子产品减少了男孩们的面对面交流，这使得父母更难与儿子建立联系。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“First, choose natural moments for conversations side-by-side activities like driving, walking, or playing basketball work well, as boys often open up while doing something active. (首先，选择自然的时刻进行交谈，比如开车、散步或打篮球等并排进行的活动效果很好，因为男孩们在做一些活跃的事情时往往会敞开心扉)”可知，Pepper建议父亲在打篮球等并排进行的活动时与儿子交谈，打羽毛球也属于此类活动。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段“Second, be honest and use storytelling. Sharing simple stories about one’s own experiences or a friend's can help ease the embarrassment of tough topics. (第二，要诚实，并使用讲故事的方式。分享关于自己或朋友的简单故事可以帮助缓解棘手话题的尴尬)”可知，父亲可以通过分享自己或朋友的简单故事来缓解与儿子谈论棘手话题时的尴尬。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is significant for fathers to keep interacting with their sons, even when the boys seem to push back. Boys of this age still need guidance from caring adults. Without positive connections, some may turn to harmful groups for answers. By having open, regular talks, fathers can help their sons grow into confident, caring young men who know how to build healthy relationships. (即使男孩们似乎在反抗，父亲与儿子保持互动也是很重要的。这个年龄段的男孩仍然需要有爱心的成年人的指导。如果没有积极的联系，有些人可能会向有害团体寻求答案。通过进行开放、定期的谈话，父亲可以帮助儿子成长为自信、有爱心的年轻人，他们知道如何建立健康的人际关系)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了展示父亲在引导青少年男孩方面的重要作用。故选B。 （本题12.5分）On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. 36(2.5分) When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 37(2.5分) Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 38(2.5分) Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 39(2.5分) At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 40(2.5分) In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A．Still, he never stopped. B．The process was difficult and cold. C．Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D．Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E．Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F．He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G．This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 【答案】36．G 37．B 38．C 39．A 40．D 【导语】文章讲述了Wilson Bentley从15岁迷恋雪花开始，通过自制设备拍摄世界上首张雪花显微照片，并克服严寒与技术困难持续研究多年，最终其成果获得认可。 【详解】36．上文“On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. (在Wilson Bentley 15岁生日那天，他的母亲送给他一台旧显微镜。那天正在下雪，这个男孩用这台仪器成功地看到了一个六边形的雪花。)”讲述Bentley在15岁生日时首次用显微镜看到六边形雪花，下文“When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. (在他17岁那年，Bentley请求父母给他买一台新的、更好的显微镜以及一台相机。)”提到他在17岁时想要更好的显微镜和相机，因此G项“This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. (这是他终生迷恋雪花的开端。)”符合语境，指出首次看到雪花的经历对他产生了深远影响，承上启下。 37．下文“Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. (在户外，他将雪花收集在一块涂成黑色的木托盘里。回到室内后，尽管仍戴着大手套以保持双手温暖，他还是用一根吸管将雪花吸起，并将其放在显微镜载玻片上。然后，他小心翼翼地避免对着雪花哈气，迅速对其进行观察并拍照。)”详细描述他在户外收集雪花、用吸管移动雪花、小心避免呼吸影响等细节，因此B项“The process was difficult and cold. (这个过程既困难又寒冷。)”符合语境，可作为段首句概括这一段的主题，统领下文。 38．上文“Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. (Bentley在楼梯下的一间暗室里冲洗这些感光板，然后把感光板拿到附近的小溪里冲洗。)”描述他冲洗感光板的方法和过程，因此C项“Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. (有时他在黑暗中夜间进行。)”符合语境，补充说明他冲洗感光板的另一方法，和上文是并列关系。 39．上文“Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. (有时，他会感到有些沮丧，因为似乎很少有人关心他的工作。)”提到他有时会沮丧，下文“At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. (在65岁那年，他拍摄了自己第5000片雪花的照片。)”表明他仍坚持着这项热爱，因此A项“Still, he never stopped. (尽管如此，他从未停止。)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，衔接下文的坚持。 40．上文“Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” (渐渐地，人们开始对他产生了兴趣。记者们有时会来到他家门前。人们开始称他为“雪花先生”和“Bentley教授”。)”指出他受到关注，并列举具体事例佐证，因此D项“Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. (珠宝制造商仿制雪花设计。)”符合语境，说明他的工作启发了艺术和商业领域，和上文的事例并列，句式相仿，共同支撑段首提到的关注。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My dad is 68 and on a fixed income. He is too 41 to ask for help, but I know money is tight. Yesterday, I went grocery shopping with him. He spent twenty minutes 42 everything in his head, choosing generic brands and 43 items back — doing that math my generation doesn’t have to do anymore. At checkout, his card 44 . He wasn’t even surprised; he just quietly asked the cashier to remove items until the total 45 worked. The woman behind us in line, who didn’t look 46 at all, suddenly 47 and said, “Ring it all up on mine.” My dad refused. But the woman 48 . He refused harder, his face turning slightly red.

But I also remember how we ate that week. Let me pay it forward. You can pay me back by doing the same for someone else when you are 51 .” She paid $83 for his groceries and 52 to give her name. She just remarked that his turn would come and left. My dad cried in the car. Faced with numerous hardships, he never 53 in his life, yet that stranger’s silent understanding finally broke through his defenses. I’m going to remember this.

One of my earliest memories is being held 57(1.5分) her arms, counting down the flashing green 58(1.5分) (number) together. Mum is small, but I remember feeling so high up there. She would dance us left and right around the kitchen, our eyes 59(1.5分) (watch) the microwave like it was a space rocket countdown, 60(1.5分) (excite) and tension building to that final moment: BEEP! The microwave had a loud alarm, but we overshadowed that noise with our own performance, tipping our heads back and shouting into the air — a scream 61(1.5分) always ended in laughter. My mum would find fun even when completing the most boring of tasks. I remember 62(1.5分) (push) in a supermarket trolley (手推车) over 63(1.5分) uneven car park ground like riding a rollercoaster. She would speed up, the wind blowing our hair back 64(1.5分) my tiny voice singing out, “Weeee-eee-eee!” I realise now that Mum didn’t find the joy in these tasks: she created it. Who cares if neighbours can hear you singing along to a microwave? Life is full of so many 65(1.5分) (seeming) uneventful moments, but we can turn any of them into a celebration. 【答案】 56．to finish 57．in 58．numbers 59．watching 60．excitement 61．that/which 62．being pushed 63．the 64．and 65．seemingly 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年时与母亲一起度过的快乐时光，以及母亲如何将平凡的日常活动变得充满乐趣。 【详解】56．考查非谓语动词。句意：很少有人能在等待微波炉加热完成时找到乐趣，但我妈妈却能。who引导的定语从句的谓语为could find，此处为非谓语动词，wait for sb/sth to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“等待某人/某物做某事”，所以用finish的不定式形式to finish，作宾语补足语。故填to finish。 57．考查介词。句意：我最早的记忆之一是被妈妈抱在怀里，一起倒数闪烁的绿色数字。固定搭配in one’s arms表示“在某人的怀里”。故填in。 58．考查名词复数。句意：我最早的记忆之一是被妈妈抱在怀里，一起倒数闪烁的绿色数字。number“数字”是可数名词，此处指多个数字，应用复数形式，作宾语。故填numbers。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：她带着我们在厨房里左右跳舞，我们的眼睛盯着微波炉，就像它是一艘太空火箭的倒计时，兴奋和紧张一直持续到最后一刻：哔！本句已有谓语动词would dance，此处为独立主格结构，our eyes与watch之间为主动关系，用现在分词表主动。故填 watching。 60．考查名词。句意：她会带着我们在厨房里左右跳舞，我们的眼睛盯着微波炉，仿佛那是火箭发射的倒计时，兴奋和紧张的情绪在最后一刻不断累积：叮！本空与后面的tension为并列关系，共同作主语，需用excite的名词形式excitement“兴奋”。故填excitement。 61．考查定语从句。句意：微波炉的警报声很大，但我们用自己的表演掩盖了那个声音，仰起头对着天空大喊——一声尖叫总是以笑声结束。本空引导定语从句，先行词是a scream，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：我记得坐在超市的手推车里，被人推着，在凹凸不平的停车场地面上就像坐过山车一样。remember doing sth.“记得做过某事”，且I与push“推”之间为被动关系，需用动名词的被动形式，作宾语。故填being pushed。 63．考查冠词。句意：我记得坐在在超市的手推车里被推着，在凹凸不平的停车场地面就像坐过山车一样。此处特指凹凸不平的停车场地面，应用定冠词the。故填the。 64．考查连词。句意：她会加速，风吹着我们的头发向后飘，而我小小的声音喊着：“呜呜呜！”本空连接两个并列的独立主格结构the wind blowing our hair back和my tiny voice singing out为并列关系，用and连接。故填and。 65．考查副词。句意：生活中充满了许多看似平淡无奇的时刻，但我们可以把其中任何一个变成庆祝。此处修饰形容词uneventful，应用副词seemingly“看似”，作状语。故填seemingly。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，在上周的学校足球选拔赛中成功入选校队，你想感谢一直鼓励你的爷爷。请你给爷爷写一封感谢信，内容包括： （1）分享好消息； （2）感谢爷爷的鼓励； （3）表达决心。 Dear Grandpa, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Love, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Grandpa, I’m thrilled to tell you — I made the school football team!

It was 8:00 a.m.. As the film crew of student moviemakers hopped out of the van and started unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading a book. Sometimes, it made me feel a bit sad that I was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need a parent’s advice, help and caring. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions, helping each other and supporting their friends through whatever assignments they were given. I was just the driver. Anything else that I might be able to impress on them was not required and, I dare say, unwelcome. With all the equipment unloaded, the van now became the snack mobile and place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys when necessary. To finish reading the book, I got out looking for a place to sit down. It was early, but I didn’t want to sit in the sun. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away, I spied a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more bodies. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the end seat so that I could rest my hand on the arm. The man on the other end looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were untidy, his hair was messy, and I could smell something unpleasant. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of misshapen and blacked-out teeth. That was it. He wasn’t bothering me, and I thought I wasn’t bothering him. We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood, walked in front of me and bowed. I looked up, not knowing what was going to happen next. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.” 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。 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. He continued, “Most people avoid me or tell me to get lost. You are the first person who didn’t mind sitting next to me, like I’m a person too. Thank you for treating me with respect.” I was taken aback, realizing how a small act of kindness had such a significant impact on him. “We all deserve kindness,” I replied softly. He nodded, gathered his few belongings, and gave me one last appreciative smile before walking away. This brief encounter left me pondering the profound influence of acknowledging one’s humanity. Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. Sharing the experience with the students, I said, “Today, I learned something valuable. Every act of kindness counts. Even when you think it’s insignificant, it could mean the world to someone else.” The students listened intently, absorbing the lesson. Inspired, they acknowledged the importance of empathy and compassion, ready to incorporate this mindset into their lives and work. I realized that even as just the driver, I still had much to offer, both as a lesson and as an example. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者作为学生电影制作团队的司机，接送孩子们到拍摄地点，并在拍摄过程中感受到自己被边缘化的心情。作者感觉自己不再被需要。为了打发时间，作者选择坐在公园长椅上读书，在那里遇到了一位看似无家可归的人。尽管对方外表邋遢且气味不佳，两人仍和谐共处。最终，这位陌生人对作者表示感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“他那句简单的‘谢谢’让我很吃惊，我困惑地看着他。”可知，第一段可以描写这位看似无家可归的人对此行为的解释和二人的交流。 ②由第二段句首内容“后来，当摄制组开始装载他们的设备时，我走向他们。”可知，第二段可以描写作者对孩子们讲述这件事的意义和感受。 2.续写线索：困惑地看着—解释—走向孩子们—学生们听—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①避开：avoid/shun ②意识到：realize/be aware ③对……有如此重大的影响：have such a significant impact on/have such a significant influence on 情绪类 ①感激的：appreciative/grateful ②同情：empathy/sympathy 【点睛】【高分句型1】You are the first person who didn’t mind sitting next to me, like I’m a person too.(运用了who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I was taken aback, realizing how a small act of kindness had such a significant impact on him.

And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a kid will remember for a lifetime. Family Game Night Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own. Charades (猜字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge kids to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out. Family Art Time Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing — take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination. Family Picnic Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing. Family Field Trip A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work — you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids. 21．(2.5分)What are kids supposed to do when playing the game charades? A．Prepare some cakes for each other. B．Be quick to follow others’ actions. C．Sing a song for each other in turn. D．Connect actions with certain words. 22．(2.5分)What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．It costs a lot to visit a park for a family. B．You may share your own experience with workers. C．You should ask for permission from the farm owner. D．All the people will be excited to share what they have with you. 23．(2.5分)Whom is the passage mainly intended for? A．Teachers. B．Parents. C．Tourists. D．Teenagers. （本题10分）In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, he learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him. A few years later, Brad decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time. While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to appreciate everything in a more meaningful way. The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. To keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together. Such a challenge would be a huge achievement for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence. After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world. 24．(2.5分)What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To sum up the whole story. B．To show Brad’s love for travelling. C．To explain Brad and his grandma’s trip reason. D．To describe the beautiful scenery during adventures. 25．(2.5分)What did Brad worry about at first on his first trip with his grandmother? A．High cost. B．Less fun. C．Bad weather. D．Poor health. 26．(2.5分)What did Brad think his grandma’s trip was like? A．She always felt very tired. B．She was close to giving up. C．She enjoyed it all the time. D．She was too old to go to many places. 27．(2.5分)What was Brad and his grandmother’s next plan? A．They would travel farther. B．They decided on the National Park. C．They wanted to have a break. D．They could post their stories online. （本题10分）In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media. The fictional character, Miene, is a blind kitten who finds herself in a risky situation after getting separated from her mother and hurting her paw, all while being chased by a crow. Ultimately, she is rescued and finds a home with a caring family. The narrative follows Miene's comedic yet poignant journey as she navigates the frightening world around her, struggling against her fears and pain. Her perception of life, relying on her other senses instead of sight, offers a heartwarming perspective that encourages readers to cheer for her. One striking feature of this work is its substantial amount of text. The book is loaded with a remarkable amount of written content, surprising for a comic essay, filled with hand-drawn letters that create an extraordinary rhythm between the illustrations. The combination of text and visuals is so impressive that readers often laugh out loud when recalling its funny moments, even after closing the book.

Many boys now feel lonely, isolated, and confused, struggling with developing the ability to express themselves in a positive way. Christopher Pepper, a middle and high school educator, has spent years helping boys and their families. He points out that smartphones and video games have taken up much of teenagers’ time, reducing in-person interactions like hanging out or dating. This isolation makes it harder for parents to connect with their sons. Also, many boys feel anxious about social relationships, unsure how to interact with others without crossing lines. Pepper shares practical tips for fathers. First, choose natural moments for conversations. Side-by-side activities like driving, walking, or playing basketball work well, as boys often open up while doing something active. Second, be honest and use storytelling. Sharing simple stories about one’s own experiences or a friend’s can help ease the embarrassment of tough topics. Third, encourage boys to speak up and listen actively. Let them know it’s okay to express emotions, and that showing vulnerability (脆弱) isn’t a sign of weakness. It is significant for fathers to keep interacting with their sons, even when the boys seem to push back. Boys of this age still need guidance from caring adults. Without positive connections, some may turn to harmful groups for answers. By having open, regular talks, fathers can help their sons grow into confident, caring young men who know how to build healthy relationships. 32．(2.5分)Why is it difficult for parents to connect with their adolescent sons? A．Boys are unwilling to share their feelings with parents. B．Parents spend too much time on work and housework. C．Electronic products reduce boys’ in-person interactions. D．Boys are too busy with their after-school activities. 33．(2.5分)Which way of communication does Pepper recommend for fathers? A．Sharing daily stories over the Internet. B．Chatting casually while playing badminton. C．Discussing serious topics at dinner. D．Having a formal talk in the living room. 34．(2.5分)How can fathers make tough topics less awkward when talking to their sons? A．By using strict rules. B．By avoiding personal stories. C．By sharing their own simple stories. D．By letting others handle the conversation. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To explain social media’s effect on boys’ anxiety. B．To show fathers’ important role in guiding teen boys. C．To argue boys should handle tough topics alone. D．To analyze the difficulties of raising adolescent boys. （本题12.5分）On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. 36(2.5分) When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 37(2.5分) Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 38(2.5分) Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 39(2.5分) At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 40(2.5分) In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A．Still, he never stopped. B．The process was difficult and cold. C．Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D．Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E．Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F．He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G．This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My dad is 68 and on a fixed income. He is too 41 to ask for help, but I know money is tight.

One of my earliest memories is being held 57(1.5分) her arms, counting down the flashing green 58(1.5分) (number) together. Mum is small, but I remember feeling so high up there. She would dance us left and right around the kitchen, our eyes 59(1.5分) (watch) the microwave like it was a space rocket countdown, 60(1.5分) (excite) and tension building to that final moment: BEEP! The microwave had a loud alarm, but we overshadowed that noise with our own performance, tipping our heads back and shouting into the air — a scream 61(1.5分) always ended in laughter. My mum would find fun even when completing the most boring of tasks. I remember 62(1.5分) (push) in a supermarket trolley (手推车) over 63(1.5分) uneven car park ground like riding a rollercoaster. She would speed up, the wind blowing our hair back 64(1.5分) my tiny voice singing out, “Weeee-eee-eee!” I realise now that Mum didn’t find the joy in these tasks: she created it. Who cares if neighbours can hear you singing along to a microwave? Life is full of so many 65(1.5分) (seeming) uneventful moments, but we can turn any of them into a celebration. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，在上周的学校足球选拔赛中成功入选校队，你想感谢一直鼓励你的爷爷。请你给爷爷写一封感谢信，内容包括： （1）分享好消息； （2）感谢爷爷的鼓励； （3）表达决心。 Dear Grandpa, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Love, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The city circle was quiet when my van (面包车) pulled up to Two’s Company cafe. It was 8:00 a.m.. As the film crew of student moviemakers hopped out of the van and started unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading a book. Sometimes, it made me feel a bit sad that I was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need a parent’s advice, help and caring. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions, helping each other and supporting their friends through whatever assignments they were given. I was just the driver. Anything else that I might be able to impress on them was not required and, I dare say, unwelcome. With all the equipment unloaded, the van now became the snack mobile and place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys when necessary. To finish reading the book, I got out looking for a place to sit down. It was early, but I didn’t want to sit in the sun. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away, I spied a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more bodies. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the end seat so that I could rest my hand on the arm. The man on the other end looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were untidy, his hair was messy, and I could smell something unpleasant. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of misshapen and blacked-out teeth. That was it. He wasn’t bothering me, and I thought I wasn’t bothering him. We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood, walked in front of me and bowed. I looked up, not knowing what was going to happen next. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.” 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。 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
