They were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past sixty years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them and many older Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. W: Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age? M: Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care and the development of public services for senior citizens today.

I taught some of the residents how to use smartphones to video call their families. They were so excited! M: That sounds rewarding. Did you face any challenges? W: Well, some of them hesitated at first and were afraid they might break the phones. But once they saw how easy it was, they became more confident. M: How long did you spend there? W: I had planned two hours, yet they were too anxious to learn so I spent one more hour. I’m planning to go back next Saturday to help them with social media. Would you like to come with me next time? M: I’ll join you after I drive our son to the football club. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17．(1.5分)How old is Vivi? A．6. B．11.

My friend’s daughter Vivi is small for her age. She is 11, but she only wears clothes for a 6-year-old kid. Last summer, she cried at the amusement park because she was too small to go on roller coasters (过山车) or other rides. Other children laughed at her because she is tiny compared with her friends. But you know what? She is especially good at swimming, and she moves through the water “like a fish”. In fact, Vivi is such a good swimmer that she has been chosen for the local team and will take part in national competitions. Vivi is proud of her strength. She knows that being small doesn’t matter. Vivi says, “In the water, I am the same size as everyone else.” The message is that everyone, whatever their size, shape or skills, has something great to offer. So children, go back to your classrooms and enjoy discovering what makes you special! 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）People show different preferences for their pillows (枕头). Experts think that thicker pillows (at least 5 inches thick if you’re broad-shouldered) are best for side sleepers. But if you have a softer mattress (床垫), you may want a bit less softness in your pillow because your body goes down deeper than your head. On the other hand, a firmer mattress calls for a thicker pillow. Thinner pillows (3 to 5 inches thick) are best for back sleepers. For some pillows, you can remove some filling to create the perfect fit. It’s said that many people over-pillow, especially back sleepers, because we’re so used to positioning our heads forward to look at our phones. One right-sized pillow is usually enough to keep your neck in a healthy position. Here are some picks for side sleepers and back sleepers. Here are also some special pillows to try. Sleep experts say they can make it easier to keep a healthy sleep position. 21．(2.5分)What is the recommended pillow thickness for broad-shouldered side sleepers? A．6 inches. B．4 inches. C．3 inches. D．2 inches. 22．(2.5分)Which pillow is the most suitable for a back sleeper trying to save money? A．Coop Sleep Goods. B．Sleep Number Comfortfit. C．Layla Adjustable Fill. D．Purelux Memory Foam. 23．(2.5分)What can we know about the special pillows? A．A firm throw pillow makes the best wedge. B．A king-size bed pillow can serve as a bolster for side sleepers. C．Wedge pillows are mainly used to keep the neck in a healthy curve. D．Cervical pillows can be made by putting a towel into a pillowcase alone. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．B 【导语】文章介绍了不同睡姿适配的枕头厚度，适合侧睡者和仰睡者的枕头以及几种特殊功能的枕头。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Experts think that thicker pillows (at least 5 inches thick if you’re broad-shouldered) are best for side sleepers.(专家认为，厚度更大的枕头（如果你肩宽，枕头厚度至少五英寸）最适合侧睡人群)”可知，对于宽肩的侧睡者专家推荐枕头厚度至少是5英寸。 22．细节理解题。根据第一个表格可知，适合仰睡者(back sleepers)的枕头为“Coop Sleep Goods ($75)”和“Purelux Memory Foam ($42)”，对比可知Purelux Memory Foam价格低，是仰睡者且想要省钱的人的最佳选择。 23．细节理解题。根据第二个表格最后一行的“A king-size bed pillow works for side sleepers, but back sleepers may need a firm bolster designed for sleep.(特大号床配套枕头适合侧睡者，但仰睡者或许需要一款专为睡眠设计的硬质长枕)”可知，大号床枕可作为侧睡者的长枕。 （本题10分）Hirpora, a village in South Kashmir, experiences temperatures as low as -15℃ from November to March. Snowfall often covers the landscape with up to 1.8 meters of snow, blocking roads and making movement nearly impossible. Farming and daily labor stop during the winter, leaving residents to rely on stored food supplies. Lack of water only adds to the struggle, as low temperatures freeze (冻住) water tubes, forcing people to collect water from springs or melt (融化) snow. Despite these hardships, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano sets out every day to work as a postwoman, delivering letters and parcels (包裹) to keep Hirpora connected to the outside world. She has been working at the Hirpora post office for over 30 years, facing winters when snow reaches around one meter deep. Some homes remain cut off due to heavy snow, and in such cases, Ulfata will walk several kilometers. Earning 240 dollars per month, Ulfata delivers 20 to 25 pieces of post daily, including heavy parcels. She occasionally depends on family members for transport but mostly walks to her destinations. The physical demands of her job are high, but she finds meaning in it. “Walking several kilometers daily keeps me physically fit. There are hardships, but my job requires me to overcome them,” she says. For students in Hirpora, who rely entirely on her to receive their study materials and books, Ulfata’s work is invaluable. “Braving extreme cold, she delivers parcels with commitment. Her work makes it possible for students like me to stay connected to our studies. Ulfata is more than just a postwoman — she is a bridge connecting us to the outside world,” says Shahid Ahmad, a local student. When asked what keeps her going despite 30 years as a postwoman, Ulfata replies, “It is the sense of duty and the smiles of those who rely on me that keep me going. Knowing that my deliveries help students study and families stay connected makes every step through the snow worthwhile.” For as long as she can, Ulfata will continue to walk through the snow, carrying letters, parcels, and the warmth of human connection. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author describe Hirpora in winter in paragraph 1? A．To demonstrate Ulfata’s multi-work ability. B．To introduce the village’s backwardness. C．To illustrate Ulfata’s work environment. D．To praise Hirpora’s beautiful scenery. 25．(2.5分)What can we say about Ulfata’s job? A．Challenging but purposeful. B．Well-paid but stressful. C．Competitive and tiring. D．Necessary and comfortable. 26．(2.5分)What does Shahid most probably think of Ulfata? A．Elegant. B．Awkward. C．Humorous. D．Respectable. 27．(2.5分)What drives Ulfata to continue her job? A．Her bonds with the community. B．Government recognition and trust. C．Economic pressure of her family. D．Personal fitness and health benefits. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．A 【导语】文章讲述女邮递员乌尔法塔，坚守岗位三十余年，不畏严寒大雪的恶劣环境，凭借责任与温情，为村民搭建起对外沟通的桥梁。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Hirpora, a village in South Kashmir, experiences temperatures as low as -15℃ from November to March.(克什米尔南部的希尔波拉村庄，每年十一月至三月气温低至零下十五摄氏度。)”以及第二段“Despite these hardships, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano sets out every day to work as a postwoman, delivering letters and parcels (包裹) to keep Hirpora connected to the outside world.(纵使有这样的艰苦条件，55岁的乌尔法塔・巴诺每日依旧踏上邮递之路，派送信件包裹，维系着希尔波拉与外界的联络。)”可知，首段描绘村庄冬季恶劣状况，用以展现乌尔法塔艰苦的工作环境。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“The physical demands of her job are high, but she finds meaning in it. “Walking several kilometers daily keeps me physically fit. There are hardships, but my job requires me to overcome them,” she says.(这份工作体力消耗极大，但她从中找到了价值。她说道：“每天步行数公里让我身体强健。纵使前路艰难，这份职业也督促我迎难而上。”)”可知，这份工作充满挑战，同时又富有意义。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“Ulfata is more than just a postwoman — she is a bridge connecting us to the outside world,(乌尔法塔不仅仅是邮递员，更是连通我们与外界的桥梁，)”可知，这名学生内心十分敬重乌尔法塔。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is the sense of duty and the smiles of those who rely on me that keep me going.(是责任感以及依靠我的人们的笑容，支撑着我一直坚守岗位。)”可知，与当地居民之间的情感联结推动乌尔法塔坚持工作。 （本题10分）As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others. 28．(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development. B．Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents. C．An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions. D．All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually. 29．(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage? A．A librarian. B．A doctor. C．A writer. D．A teacher. 30．(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers? A．They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people. B．They are very good at persuading others. C．They have great wishes to develop leadership. D．They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom. 31．(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage? A．Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest? B．Birth Order and Marriage C．The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success D．Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了出生顺序对个人性格的影响，包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.(危险在于，如果年长的孩子将这种角色发挥到极致，他或她可能会成为一个专横的人，不听取别人的意见，因为他们认为自己是领导者。)”可知，年长的孩子如果将领导角色发挥到极致，可能会变得专横，不愿意听取他人意见。所以，我们可以推断出一个年长的孩子可能不愿意接受别人的意见。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.(这可能有助于解释为什么年幼的孩子容易喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作。)”可知，年幼的孩子可能喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作，因此他们可能想成为一名作家。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children.(排行靠后的孩子可能是很好的推销员，因为劝说可能是他们与年长孩子打交道的唯一工具。)”可知，排行靠后的孩子可能很擅长劝说别人，因此他们可能成为很好的推销员。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章主要讨论了出生顺序对个人性格的影响，包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。因此，最适合本文的标题是“Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality(出生顺序对个人性格的影响)”。故选D项。 （本题10分）Holidays are often described as picture-perfect moments: families happily united around a table filled with seasonal food favorites against a perfect background. For many parents, making efforts to meet such unrealistic expectations can destroy their self-worth gradually. In the real world, parents are juggling (同时兼顾) more activities from work to home. It’s all too easy to fall into survival parenting, one way where the focus is on simply getting through the day. These holidays can feel like anything but a holiday. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a warning in August 2024 calling for a rapid recovery of parental well-being. Murthy along with scientists and parents sees that the modern-day stress of parenting is seriously affecting the physical and mental health of caregivers. He states his deep worries about reports that most days, nearly half of all parents feel seriously stressed. Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that most of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is surely caused, in part, by two facts: the rising costs for child care and fewer choices for child’s day care. The research shows that focusing only on getting through the day with your kids is connected to more stress and harsher (严苛的) parenting behaviors. When a mom or dad is in survival mode, it’s possible for them to shout requests and criticize their children’s behavior, instead of thinking through the impacts of these behaviors. Stressed-out parents are quicker to criticize little things that get in the way of reaching immediate goals, such as spilling (洒出) flour on the floor. And they are slower to notice and admit their child’s strengths, such as their interest in helping in the kitchen. However, bringing joy back to parenting during holidays — and any time of the year — is more direct than the “perfect” meal plans on social platforms. The secret to getting away from surviving the moment is to refocus on the future you want to create. 32．(2.5分)What is the parents’ real situation during the holidays according to the passage? A．They fight hard through great stress. B．They improve their parenting mode for kids. C．They effortlessly reunite with a large family. D．They deal with work-from-home tasks easily. 33．(2.5分)What’s the purpose of paragraph 3? A．To tell readers the fact of rising costs. B．To showcase the parents’ stress. C．To analyze causes of parents’ stress. D．To explain how to get the data. 34．(2.5分)What will be most likely discussed after the last paragraph? A．Ways to achieve long-term family goals. B．Practical steps to bring back parenting joy. C．Several perfect meal plans for good parents. D．The kind of future for parents to build for families. 35．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Holiday Daycare Crisis: A Hidden Threat to Parents B．Harsh Holiday Parenting: Stress Shaping Child Behavior C．Behind Parental Burnout: Holidays Hurting Modern Families D．Beyond Holiday Survival Mode: Rebuilding Parenting well-being 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要指出父母假期难以达到完美期待而陷入生存式育儿的现状，分析其压力的成因与影响，还提及找回育儿幸福感的关键思路。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the real world, parents are juggling (同时兼顾) more activities from work to home. It’s all too easy to fall into survival parenting, one way where the focus is on simply getting through the day. These holidays can feel like anything but a holiday.(在现实生活中，父母们要同时兼顾从工作到家庭的更多事务。人们很容易陷入生存式育儿，这种方式的核心就是熬过一天。这样的假期根本算不上假期。)”可知，假期里父母的真实状况是顶着巨大压力艰难撑过每一天。故选A项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that most of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is surely caused, in part, by two facts: the rising costs for child care and fewer choices for child’s day care. (2022年家庭脉搏调查的数据显示，大多数父母——包括35%有5岁以下孩子的父母和54%有5至11岁孩子的父母——没有正规的育儿支持。这在一定程度上肯定是由两个事实造成的：育儿成本不断上升和儿童日托的选择越来越少。)”可知，第三段的目的是分析父母产生育儿压力的部分原因。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, bringing joy back to parenting during holidays — and any time of the year — is more direct than the “perfect” meal plans on social platforms. The secret to getting away from the surviving the moment is to refocus on the future you want to create. (然而，在假期里——以及一年中的任何时候——找回育儿的幸福感，比社交平台上那些“完美的”饮食计划要直接得多。摆脱当下熬日子状态的秘诀，是重新聚焦于你想要创造的未来。)”可知，最后一段提出了找回育儿幸福感的核心方向，接下来最有可能讨论的是找回育儿幸福感的具体可行方法。故选B项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章先描述父母假期陷入生存式育儿、承受巨大压力的现状，分析其压力成因和生存式育儿的负面影响，最后提出要摆脱这种生存模式、找回育儿幸福感的观点和核心思路，全文核心围绕走出假期育儿的生存模式、重建育儿幸福感展开，由此可知，“Beyond Holiday Survival Mode: Rebuilding Parenting well-being(超越假期生存模式：重建育儿幸福感)”可以概括文章主题，适合作为本文标题。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）Punctuation (标点符号) has never been a mere formality to me. It shapes the flow of a text, guiding readers to pause or rush, to reflect or move on. 36(2.5分) I tend to use far fewer commas (逗号) than traditional textbooks recommend, for I prefer a sharp and energetic tone over complex, twisting sentences. To me, punctuation is less a fixed rule than a personal tool to convey my unique voice. 37(2.5分) He is deeply attached to it, while I almost always choose the long dash to connect ideas. Though they serve similar functions, the two marks create completely different reading experiences. He considers the semicolon (分号) a sign of formality and elegance, whereas I see the dash as more casual and closer to real speech. A dash feels like a gentle reminder in conversation.  A semicolon, by contrast, gives writing a dated, literary air typical of 19th-century prose (白话文). My father’s writing is packed with semicolons, resulting in a heavy, dull rhythm. 38(2.5分) I would often struggle to stay focused after just a few paragraphs. I respected his carefulness but could not bear the tiring reading process. I once insisted on strict punctuation even in text messages, capitalizing properly and never missing a single mark. It was troublesome, but I hated to appear careless. 39(2.5分) After all, many people just want to communicate efficiently and effortlessly. Text messages have their own unwritten punctuation rules. A simple “no” carries basic information, but a capitalized “No.” with a full stop can sound cold or annoyed. 40(2.5分) In casual communication, punctuation carries hidden emotions and reshapes how messages are received. A．He has a natural sense of rhythm. B．I also have my own strong preferences. C．He used to write me a letter every week. D．My father is a devoted lover of the semicolon. E．Some people dislike punctuation in daily chats. F．We should therefore use punctuation wisely online. G．However, I gradually learned to let go of this habit. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．C 39．G 40．F 【导语】作者通过对比自己与父亲在标点符号使用上的不同偏好，阐述了标点符号不仅是语法规则，更是表达个人风格和情感的工具，并探讨了不同场景下标点使用的差异。 【详解】36．上文“Punctuation has never been a mere formality to me. It shapes the flow of a text, guiding readers to pause or rush, to reflect or move on. (标点符号对我来说从来不只是一种形式。它塑造文本的节奏，引导读者停顿或快速阅读，反思或继续前进。)”说明作者对标点有自己的理解，下文“I tend to use far fewer commas than traditional textbooks recommend, for I prefer a sharp and energetic tone over complex, twisting sentences. (我使用的逗号数量远少于传统教科书的推荐用量，因为我更偏爱简洁有力的表达方式，而非那些复杂曲折的句子。)”说明作者有自己的标点偏好。B项“I also have my own strong preferences. (我也有自己强烈的偏好。)”承上启下，从对标点的总体看法过渡到个人具体偏好。 37．下文“He is deeply attached to it, while I almost always choose the long dash to connect ideas. He considers the semicolon a sign of formality and elegance (他非常喜欢它，而我几乎总是选择长破折号来连接想法。他认为分号是正式和优雅的标志)”中“He”指代某位男性，且提到了分号。D项“My father is a devoted lover of the semicolon. (我父亲是分号的忠实爱好者。)”引出了“He”所指代的人物，并与下文“He considers the semicolon...”形成顺承关系。 38．上文“My father's writing is packed with semicolons, resulting in a heavy, dull rhythm. (我父亲的写作中满是分号，导致节奏沉重、沉闷。)”描述父亲写作的特点，下文“I would often struggle to stay focused after just a few paragraphs. (我常常在读了几段之后就很难集中注意力。)”说明作者阅读父亲作品时的困难。C项“He used to write me a letter every week. (他过去每周给我写一封信。)”解释了作者为何需要阅读父亲满是分号的作品，与上下文形成因果逻辑。 39．上文“I once insisted on strict punctuation even in text messages, capitalizing properly and never missing a single mark. It was troublesome, but I hated to appear careless. (我曾经甚至在短信中也坚持严格的标点，正确大写，从不遗漏任何一个符号。这很麻烦，但我讨厌显得粗心。)”说明作者过去的习惯，下文“After all, many people just want to communicate efficiently and effortlessly. (毕竟，很多人只是想高效、轻松地交流。)”说明作者后来的认识转变。G项“However, I gradually learned to let go of this habit. (然而，我逐渐学会了放弃这个习惯。)”中“However”表转折，“let go of this habit”与上文的严格习惯形成对比，并引出下文对原因的解释。 40．上文以短信中“No.”与“no”的不同语气效果为例，说明标点在日常交流中的情感作用，下文“In casual communication, punctuation carries hidden emotions and reshapes how messages are received. (在日常交流中，标点承载着隐藏的情感，并重塑信息被接收的方式。)”是总结性语句。F项“We should therefore use punctuation wisely online. (因此我们应该在网上明智地使用标点。)”中“therefore”引出结论，与上文的举例和下文的总结形成完整的逻辑链条。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）While sorting through my grandfather’s belongings, I found a rusty metal box, and inside lay a faded letter. The 41 on it — June 6, 1944 — sent chills down my spine. Grandpa had 42 spoken of D-Day, but whenever fireworks exploded, his 43 hands told stories no words could. The letter described how his friend Jack 44 him from an enemy’s bullet. “Jack pushed me aside just as the shot 45 ,” Grandpa wrote. “He collapsed, still, holding a photo of his 46 daughter.” For decades, guilt seized Grandpa, 47 his sleep like a persistent ghost. After reading the letter, I felt driven to find Jack’s family. For weeks, I searched old records, and yesterday, I finally 48 his daughter, Sarah. When I 49 the letter to Sarah, her tears streamed down her cheeks. “Dad died when I was only six months old,” she whispered. “I never knew he was that brave in battle. I really 50 him.” At the cemetery (墓园), Sarah placed the letter beside Jack’s weather-beaten 51 . A breeze carried a few flower petals onto the 52 pages. At that moment, I finally 53 what Grandpa had meant so long ago — True peace begins when we find courage to pass 54 to those who need them most. The unspoken wounds of war started 55 through shared stories. 41．(1分)A．words B．day C．date D．message 42．(1分)A．rarely B．sadly C．willingly D．frankly 43．(1分)A．fair B．unsteady C．frozen D．trembling 44．(1分)A．warned B．saved C．stopped D．comforted 45．(1分)A．went off B．came around C．broke out D．showed up 46．(1分)A．missing B．newborn C．caring D．adolescent 47．(1分)A．guaranteeing B．controlling C．attacking D．disturbing 48．(1分)A．visited B．followed C．traced D．encountered 49．(1分)A．handed B．posted C．lent D．passed 50．(1分)A．value B．understand C．admire D．acknowledge 51．(1分)A．milestone B．corridor C．landmark D．tombstone 52．(1分)A．blank B．worn C．dried D．torn 53．(1分)A．grasped B．recalled C．accepted D．interpreted 54．(1分)A．experiences B．letters C．lessons D．memories 55．(1分)A．fading B．worsening C．healing D．relieving 【答案】 41．C 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．C 49．A 50．C 51．D 52．B 53．A 54．D 55．C 【导语】主要讲述作者整理祖父遗物发现旧信件，寻访战友家属抚平两代战争伤痛的温情故事。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：信件上标注的日期——1944年6月6日，令我脊背发凉。A. words文字；B. day白天；C. date日期；D. message讯息。根据下文“June 6, 1944”为具体年月日，属于信件上的日期标识。 42．考查副词。句意：祖父极少提起诺曼底登陆这件事，但每当烟花绽放时，他颤抖的双手诉说着无法用言语表达的过往。A. rarely很少；B. sadly悲伤地；C. willingly自愿地；D. frankly坦率地。依据下文“his ____ hands told stories no words could.”可知，祖父只靠手部动作流露情绪，平日里不会讲述这段往事。 43．考查形容词。句意：祖父极少提起诺曼底登陆这件事，但每当烟花绽放时，他颤抖的双手诉说着无法用言语表达的过往。A. fair白皙的；B. unsteady不稳的；C. frozen僵硬的；D. trembling颤抖的。根据上文“but whenever fireworks exploded”可知，烟花声响酷似战场炮火，勾起祖父战争创伤，双手会不受控制发抖。 44．考查动词。句意：信中记述了他的好友杰克是如何挡下敌军子弹救下他的。A. warned警告；B. saved拯救；C. stopped阻拦；D. comforted安慰。根据下文“Jack pushed me aside”可知，杰克把祖父推开躲避子弹救下了他。 45．考查动词短语。句意：枪响的那一刻，杰克一把将我推到了一旁。A. went off（枪炮）开火、发射；B. came around苏醒；C. broke out（灾难）爆发；D. showed up露面。根据上文“Jack pushed me aside just as the shot”可知，此处用来描述子弹射出、枪声响起这个动作。 46．考查形容词。句意：他倒在了地上，手里还紧紧攥着刚出生女儿的照片。A. missing失踪的；B. newborn新生的；C. caring体贴的；D. adolescent青春期的。根据下文“Dad died when I was only six months old”可知，杰克牺牲时女儿才六个月大，是刚出生的婴儿。 47．考查现在分词。句意：几十年来，愧疚感一直萦绕在祖父心头，如同挥之不去的鬼魅，搅得他夜夜无法安睡。A. guaranteeing保证；B. controlling掌控；C. attacking攻击；D. disturbing打扰、扰乱。根据上文“guilt seized Grandpa”可知，沉重的愧疚持续侵扰、破坏祖父的睡眠。 48．考查动词。句意：一连数周我翻阅各类旧档案资料，昨天终于寻访到了他的女儿萨拉。A. visited拜访；B. followed跟随；C. traced追踪、寻访；D. encountered偶遇。根据上文“For weeks, I searched old records, and yesterday”可知，作者主动查阅资料刻意搜寻杰克家人信息。 49．考查动词。句意：当我把这封信件亲手交到萨拉手中时，泪水顺着她的脸颊不断滑落。A. handed亲手递交；B. posted邮寄；C. lent借出；D. passed传递。根据下文“the letter to Sarah, her tears streamed down her cheeks”可知，二人当面相见，作者亲手将纸质信件递给对方。 50．考查动词。句意：我一直不知道父亲在战场上如此英勇，我由衷地敬佩他。A. value珍视；B. understand理解；C. admire敬佩；D. acknowledge承认。根据上文“I never knew he was that brave in battle.”可知，知晓父亲舍身救人的英勇事迹后，萨拉内心满是崇敬之情。 51．考查名词。句意：墓园里，萨拉将这封信放在了杰克历经风雨侵蚀的墓碑旁。A. milestone里程碑；B. corridor走廊；C. landmark地标；D. tombstone墓碑。根据上文“At the cemetery (墓园)”可知，场景设定在cemetery墓园，逝者对应的标识物为墓碑。 52．考查形容词。句意：一阵微风吹过，几片花瓣飘落在陈旧磨损的信纸之上。A. blank空白的；B. worn磨损老旧的；C. dried风干的；D. torn撕碎的。根据开头“a faded letter”可知，信件年代久远，纸张老旧磨损。 53．考查动词。句意：就在那一刻，我终于读懂了祖父多年前想要表达的深意。A. grasped领会、顿悟；B. recalled回忆；C. accepted接受；D. interpreted解读（文字）。根据上文“At that moment”可知，此情此景让作者领悟祖父长久埋藏心底的想法与心境。 54．考查名词。句意：真正的安宁始于我们鼓起勇气，把珍贵的回忆交付给最需要它们的人。A. experiences经历；B. letters信件；C. lessons教训；D. memories回忆。根据下文“those who need them most.”可知，全文主线是传递战争往事与逝者回忆，抚平两代人心结。 55．考查动词。句意：借着彼此诉说过往的故事，那些难以言说的战争创伤开始慢慢愈合。A. fading（记忆、色彩）褪去；B. worsening恶化；C. healing（心灵、伤口）愈合；D. relieving缓解（压力疼痛）。根据后文“through shared stories.”可知，战争带来的心理伤痛，在故事传递的温情中得到治愈。 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A hit television drama Born to Be Alive, inspired by real-life anti-poaching (反盗猎) heroes in Qinghai, brings renewed attention to the dangerous fight 56(1.5分) (protect) Tibetan antelopes. In an early scene from this drama, a policewoman and a mountain patroller (巡逻者) stop their truck in the dead of night, fearing they might have caused an 57(1.5分) (accident) collision with a Tibetan antelope. 58(1.5分) greets their eyes shocks them — a herd of antelopes lies killed, their bodies scattered across the frozen ground. Suddenly the headlights from half a dozen trucks blaze to life, their beams 59(1.5分) (cut) through the night. Poachers, rifles raised, have them surrounded. Gunshots ring out, 60(1.5分) the patroller collapses into a pool of blood... This program was inspired by the real-life stories of environmental defenders Sonam Dargye and his brother-in-law Drakpa Dorje. Sonam Dargye, 61(1.5分) ethnic Tibetan who returned to his hometown to work as a county official, organized 62(1.5分) (China) first armed anti-poaching team in 1992. Over 540 days, he and his team made 12 expeditions into the uninhabited wilds of Kekexili, breaking up 8 poaching gangs and seizing 12 vehicles. In 1994, he 63(1.5分) (attack) while escorting (护送) captured poachers. After a fierce gunfight 64(1.5分) he faced 18 criminals alone, he was fatally shot. After his death, Drakpa Dorje reorganized the team and named it the “Wild Yak Brigade” — a name symbolizing that 65(1.5分) yaks being gentle-natured animals, they will fight back fearlessly if their territory is invaded. 【答案】 56．to protect 57．accidental 58．What 59．cutting 60．and 61．an 62．China’s 63．was attacked 64．where 65．despite 【导语】主要介绍热播剧《生万物》取材于青海反盗猎英雄的真实事迹，讲述可可西里藏羚羊保护工作的艰险以及环保守护者的奉献与牺牲。 【详解】56．考查非谓语动词。句意：热播电视剧《生万物》取材于青海真实的反盗猎英雄，让人们再次关注这场守护藏羚羊的艰难斗争。固定搭配the fight to do sth.意为“为做某事而进行的斗争”，所以使用protect的不定式形式to protect作后置定语。 57．考查形容词。句意：在该剧的开篇片段中，一名女警和一名山地巡逻员在深夜停下卡车，担心自己意外撞到了藏羚羊。此处修饰名词collision，需用形容词，accident的形容词形式为accidental意为“意外的”。 58．考查主语从句。句意：映入眼帘的景象令他们无比震惊，一群藏羚羊惨遭猎杀，尸体散落于冰封的土地上。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代事物，用连接代词what，位于句首，首字母需大写。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：突然，六辆卡车的车灯骤然亮起，光束划破黑夜。此处为独立主格结构，逻辑主语beams与cut为主动关系，用现在分词cutting。 60．考查连词。句意：枪声四起，随后巡逻员倒在血泊之中。前后分句为顺承并列关系，用并列连词and连接。 61．考查冠词。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。ethnic Tibetan为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表泛指，ethnic以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。 62．考查名词所有格。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。此处修饰名词team，需用名词所有格表示所属关系，所以使用China的所有格形式China’s。 63．考查动词时态和语态。句意：1994年，他在押送被捕盗猎分子的途中遭到袭击。此处为谓语动词，时间状语In 1994表过去，主语he与attack为被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was attacked。 64．考查定语从句。句意：在一场独自对抗十八名歹徒的激烈枪战过后，他中弹牺牲。此处引导定语从句，先行词为gunfight，表抽象地点，从句中缺少地点状语，用关系副词where。 65．考查介词。句意：他牺牲后，扎巴多杰重新整编队伍，并将其命名为“野牦牛队”，这个名字寓意：牦牛本是性情温顺的动物，可一旦领地遭到侵犯，便会无畏奋起反抗。此空位于句首，无提示词，空后为名词，所以此处为介词，结合句意，此处表示让步关系，意为“尽管；虽然”，用介词despite。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，为庆祝即将到来的五四青年节，你校将举办一场文艺演出，届时有外教出席。现面向学生招募一名英文主持人，请你写一封信申请该职位，内容包括： （1）申请的理由； （2）自身的优势。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir or Madam, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文： Dear Sir or Madam, I’m Li Hua.

As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just tell me the directions on where you and your friends are going to stay.” “But dad!” Kevin complained. “No buts!” Kevin’s dad added. “Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left. The three friends, Kevin, Jay and Nathan, had been planning this adventure for weeks, packing their stuff — tents, snacks, and a map — preparing for a three-day outdoor exploration. Excitement ran through Kevin as they departed for their campsite. “This trip is going to be awesome!” Nathan excitedly shouted as they set off. But little did they know that nature had a surprise in store for them. They spent the first day at the campsite setting up tents, collecting firewood, and sharing stories. “Man, we nailed these tents,” Kevin said. “I know it was easy really,” Nathan replied. The friends were happy. Yet towards night, as the dark clouds gathered overhead, the atmosphere shifted, and a sudden storm erupted with unforgiving anger. Rain poured down from the heavens like an endless waterfall, transforming the peaceful campsite into a muddy battleground. Worse still, a huge tree was uprooted and crashed down with a deafening noise onto their only means of escape — their car. Kevin’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted the damaged car beneath the fallen giant. “Our car!” he screamed over the strong wind, his voice a mix of disbelief and desperation. “We’re stuck here,” he declared, his words barely heard against the thunder and rain. They realized that their plans had been ruined by forces beyond their control. The once quiet campsite now stood as a deserted battlefield, the fallen tree serving as a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world around them. With no way to leave, they had to spend the night in the tent. 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。 The next day, they faced the immediate problem of finding water. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The next day, they faced the immediate problem of finding water. After the storm stopped, the boys searched the nearby area and luckily found a small stream. They filled their bottles and hurried back. Using the remaining dry firewood, they made a fire to boil the water and keep warm. In this way, they struggled through the second night. On the third day, they made an SOS sign with stones and branches on the open ground, hoping someone would spot it. Yet, the day dragged on without any sign of help. The boys were exhausted and frightened, but they still tried to hold on to hope. On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. “Listen! That’s an engine!” Kevin cried, rushing out of his tent. Jay and Nathan followed him, shouting loudly, “We’re here! Help!” Before long, two bright lights appeared between the trees. It was Kevin’s dad, followed by a rescue crew. Kevin threw himself into his father’s arms. “I’m sorry, Dad,” he said, his voice shaking. His dad hugged him tightly and replied, “I’m just glad you’re safe.” Only then did Kevin understand why his father had been so serious that morning. The failed camping trip became an unforgettable lesson: a real adventure requires not only excitement, but also preparation, caution and respect for nature. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述凯文和好友筹备露营，出行前父亲追问营地位置被凯文抵触。途中突遇暴雨，大树砸毁汽车，三人被困营地，他们就地自救并设置求救标识，最终凯文父亲带领救援队赶来救人，凯文懂得出行需谨慎、敬畏自然的道理。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写三人雨后找到溪水，生火烧水维持生存，制作求救标记，疲惫却始终抱有希望。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写三人听见汽车声响大声呼救，等来父亲与救援人员，凯文理解父亲的叮嘱，收获成长教训。 2. 续写线索：寻找溪水——生火取暖——摆放求救标识——苦苦等待——听见引擎声——大声呼救——成功获救——领悟道理 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①搜寻：search/look for/seek for ②冲出：rushing out/dashing out 情绪类 ①疲惫：exhausted/worn out ②恐惧：frightened/scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] Using the remaining dry firewood, they made a fire to boil the water and keep warm.（运用了现在分词作方式状语） [高分句型2] Only then did Kevin understand why his father had been so serious that morning.（运用“only+状语”置于句首引起部分倒装句式） 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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Let’s Talk Teens（适中版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What is the woman’s impression of George?

Experts think that thicker pillows (at least 5 inches thick if you’re broad-shouldered) are best for side sleepers. But if you have a softer mattress (床垫), you may want a bit less softness in your pillow because your body goes down deeper than your head. On the other hand, a firmer mattress calls for a thicker pillow. Thinner pillows (3 to 5 inches thick) are best for back sleepers. For some pillows, you can remove some filling to create the perfect fit. It’s said that many people over-pillow, especially back sleepers, because we’re so used to positioning our heads forward to look at our phones. One right-sized pillow is usually enough to keep your neck in a healthy position. Here are some picks for side sleepers and back sleepers. Here are also some special pillows to try. Sleep experts say they can make it easier to keep a healthy sleep position. 21．(2.5分)What is the recommended pillow thickness for broad-shouldered side sleepers? A．6 inches. B．4 inches. C．3 inches.

Snowfall often covers the landscape with up to 1.8 meters of snow, blocking roads and making movement nearly impossible. Farming and daily labor stop during the winter, leaving residents to rely on stored food supplies. Lack of water only adds to the struggle, as low temperatures freeze (冻住) water tubes, forcing people to collect water from springs or melt (融化) snow. Despite these hardships, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano sets out every day to work as a postwoman, delivering letters and parcels (包裹) to keep Hirpora connected to the outside world. She has been working at the Hirpora post office for over 30 years, facing winters when snow reaches around one meter deep. Some homes remain cut off due to heavy snow, and in such cases, Ulfata will walk several kilometers. Earning 240 dollars per month, Ulfata delivers 20 to 25 pieces of post daily, including heavy parcels. She occasionally depends on family members for transport but mostly walks to her destinations. The physical demands of her job are high, but she finds meaning in it. “Walking several kilometers daily keeps me physically fit. There are hardships, but my job requires me to overcome them,” she says. For students in Hirpora, who rely entirely on her to receive their study materials and books, Ulfata’s work is invaluable. “Braving extreme cold, she delivers parcels with commitment. Her work makes it possible for students like me to stay connected to our studies. Ulfata is more than just a postwoman — she is a bridge connecting us to the outside world,” says Shahid Ahmad, a local student. When asked what keeps her going despite 30 years as a postwoman, Ulfata replies, “It is the sense of duty and the smiles of those who rely on me that keep me going. Knowing that my deliveries help students study and families stay connected makes every step through the snow worthwhile.” For as long as she can, Ulfata will continue to walk through the snow, carrying letters, parcels, and the warmth of human connection. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author describe Hirpora in winter in paragraph 1? A．To demonstrate Ulfata’s multi-work ability. B．To introduce the village’s backwardness. C．To illustrate Ulfata’s work environment. D．To praise Hirpora’s beautiful scenery. 25．(2.5分)What can we say about Ulfata’s job? A．Challenging but purposeful. B．Well-paid but stressful. C．Competitive and tiring. D．Necessary and comfortable. 26．(2.5分)What does Shahid most probably think of Ulfata? A．Elegant. B．Awkward. C．Humorous. D．Respectable. 27．(2.5分)What drives Ulfata to continue her job? A．Her bonds with the community. B．Government recognition and trust. C．Economic pressure of her family. D．Personal fitness and health benefits. （本题10分）As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others. 28．(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development. B．Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents. C．An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions. D．All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually. 29．(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage? A．A librarian. B．A doctor. C．A writer. D．A teacher. 30．(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers? A．They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people. B．They are very good at persuading others. C．They have great wishes to develop leadership. D．They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom. 31．(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage? A．Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest? B．Birth Order and Marriage C．The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success D．Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality （本题10分）Holidays are often described as picture-perfect moments: families happily united around a table filled with seasonal food favorites against a perfect background. For many parents, making efforts to meet such unrealistic expectations can destroy their self-worth gradually. In the real world, parents are juggling (同时兼顾) more activities from work to home. It’s all too easy to fall into survival parenting, one way where the focus is on simply getting through the day. These holidays can feel like anything but a holiday. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a warning in August 2024 calling for a rapid recovery of parental well-being. Murthy along with scientists and parents sees that the modern-day stress of parenting is seriously affecting the physical and mental health of caregivers. He states his deep worries about reports that most days, nearly half of all parents feel seriously stressed. Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that most of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is surely caused, in part, by two facts: the rising costs for child care and fewer choices for child’s day care. The research shows that focusing only on getting through the day with your kids is connected to more stress and harsher (严苛的) parenting behaviors. When a mom or dad is in survival mode, it’s possible for them to shout requests and criticize their children’s behavior, instead of thinking through the impacts of these behaviors. Stressed-out parents are quicker to criticize little things that get in the way of reaching immediate goals, such as spilling (洒出) flour on the floor. And they are slower to notice and admit their child’s strengths, such as their interest in helping in the kitchen. However, bringing joy back to parenting during holidays — and any time of the year — is more direct than the “perfect” meal plans on social platforms. The secret to getting away from surviving the moment is to refocus on the future you want to create. 32．(2.5分)What is the parents’ real situation during the holidays according to the passage?

B．Practical steps to bring back parenting joy. C．Several perfect meal plans for good parents. D．The kind of future for parents to build for families. 35．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Holiday Daycare Crisis: A Hidden Threat to Parents B．Harsh Holiday Parenting: Stress Shaping Child Behavior C．Behind Parental Burnout: Holidays Hurting Modern Families D．Beyond Holiday Survival Mode: Rebuilding Parenting well-being （本题12.5分）Punctuation (标点符号) has never been a mere formality to me. It shapes the flow of a text, guiding readers to pause or rush, to reflect or move on. 36(2.5分) I tend to use far fewer commas (逗号) than traditional textbooks recommend, for I prefer a sharp and energetic tone over complex, twisting sentences. To me, punctuation is less a fixed rule than a personal tool to convey my unique voice. 37(2.5分) He is deeply attached to it, while I almost always choose the long dash to connect ideas. Though they serve similar functions, the two marks create completely different reading experiences. He considers the semicolon (分号) a sign of formality and elegance, whereas I see the dash as more casual and closer to real speech. A dash feels like a gentle reminder in conversation.  A semicolon, by contrast, gives writing a dated, literary air typical of 19th-century prose (白话文). My father’s writing is packed with semicolons, resulting in a heavy, dull rhythm. 38(2.5分) I would often struggle to stay focused after just a few paragraphs. I respected his carefulness but could not bear the tiring reading process. I once insisted on strict punctuation even in text messages, capitalizing properly and never missing a single mark. It was troublesome, but I hated to appear careless. 39(2.5分) After all, many people just want to communicate efficiently and effortlessly. Text messages have their own unwritten punctuation rules. A simple “no” carries basic information, but a capitalized “No.” with a full stop can sound cold or annoyed. 40(2.5分) In casual communication, punctuation carries hidden emotions and reshapes how messages are received. A．He has a natural sense of rhythm. B．I also have my own strong preferences. C．He used to write me a letter every week. D．My father is a devoted lover of the semicolon. E．Some people dislike punctuation in daily chats. F．We should therefore use punctuation wisely online. G．However, I gradually learned to let go of this habit. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）While sorting through my grandfather’s belongings, I found a rusty metal box, and inside lay a faded letter.

In an early scene from this drama, a policewoman and a mountain patroller (巡逻者) stop their truck in the dead of night, fearing they might have caused an 57(1.5分) (accident) collision with a Tibetan antelope. 58(1.5分) greets their eyes shocks them — a herd of antelopes lies killed, their bodies scattered across the frozen ground.

Gunshots ring out, 60(1.5分) the patroller collapses into a pool of blood... This program was inspired by the real-life stories of environmental defenders Sonam Dargye and his brother-in-law Drakpa Dorje. Sonam Dargye, 61(1.5分) ethnic Tibetan who returned to his hometown to work as a county official, organized 62(1.5分) (China) first armed anti-poaching team in 1992. Over 540 days, he and his team made 12 expeditions into the uninhabited wilds of Kekexili, breaking up 8 poaching gangs and seizing 12 vehicles. In 1994, he 63(1.5分) (attack) while escorting (护送) captured poachers. After a fierce gunfight 64(1.5分) he faced 18 criminals alone, he was fatally shot. After his death, Drakpa Dorje reorganized the team and named it the “Wild Yak Brigade” — a name symbolizing that 65(1.5分) yaks being gentle-natured animals, they will fight back fearlessly if their territory is invaded. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，为庆祝即将到来的五四青年节，你校将举办一场文艺演出，届时有外教出席。现面向学生招募一名英文主持人，请你写一封信申请该职位，内容包括： （1）申请的理由； （2）自身的优势。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir or Madam, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, 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。 Kevin woke to the loud beep of his alarm clock. “Can’t wait for that camping trip,” Kevin thought, filled with excitement. As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just tell me the directions on where you and your friends are going to stay.” “But dad!” Kevin complained. “No buts!” Kevin’s dad added. “Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left. The three friends, Kevin, Jay and Nathan, had been planning this adventure for weeks, packing their stuff — tents, snacks, and a map — preparing for a three-day outdoor exploration. Excitement ran through Kevin as they departed for their campsite. “This trip is going to be awesome!” Nathan excitedly shouted as they set off. But little did they know that nature had a surprise in store for them. They spent the first day at the campsite setting up tents, collecting firewood, and sharing stories. “Man, we nailed these tents,” Kevin said. “I know it was easy really,” Nathan replied. The friends were happy. Yet towards night, as the dark clouds gathered overhead, the atmosphere shifted, and a sudden storm erupted with unforgiving anger. Rain poured down from the heavens like an endless waterfall, transforming the peaceful campsite into a muddy battleground. Worse still, a huge tree was uprooted and crashed down with a deafening noise onto their only means of escape — their car. Kevin’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted the damaged car beneath the fallen giant. “Our car!” he screamed over the strong wind, his voice a mix of disbelief and desperation. “We’re stuck here,” he declared, his words barely heard against the thunder and rain. They realized that their plans had been ruined by forces beyond their control. The once quiet campsite now stood as a deserted battlefield, the fallen tree serving as a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world around them. With no way to leave, they had to spend the night in the tent. 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。 The next day, they faced the immediate problem of finding water. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
