Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times!’s “amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half of that within a day’s drive of most cities? Happy. And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle (Ecco, $14.99) Biography When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor. J D. Salinger: A Life by Kenneth Slawenski (Random House, $27) Short Stories She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t. You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books, $15) Mystery (疑案小说) “You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?” The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again. A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, Did you… You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you? The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly. Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, $25.99) 1. The book Happy: And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for ________. A. young children B. Disney World workers C. middle school teachers D. parents with young children 2. Which book describes women with characters of their own? A. Happy: And Other Bad Thoughts B. J. D. Salinger: A Life C. You Are Free D. Red Wolf 3. After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that ________. A. the boy helped catch the murderer B. Benny died of an accident C. the murderer got away with the crime D. Annika carried out the crime 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍四类书籍节选：幽默、传记、短篇故事与疑案小说，简要展示各书片段、作者、出版社及价格，吸引读者。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Humor部分“Do your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun?(您的孩子喜欢玩耍吗？快来参加“欢乐时光”吧！您喜欢看着孩子玩得开心吗？)”可知，这段文字是在向父母们喊话，因此这本书的目标读者是有小孩的父母。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Short Stories部分“She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take.(她想告诉他自己学到的、并非从课堂中获得的道理：有些女人天生愚笨，有些女人聪明过了头，反而对自己没有好处。有些女人生来就乐于付出，而有些女人却只会索取)”可知，详细描述不同女性性格特点的书是《You Are Free》。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mystery部分““You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?” The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again. A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, Did you… You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you? The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.(“你是个聪明的孩子。本尼的死并非偶然，而你又是唯一亲眼目睹这一切的人。你觉得凶手应该逍遥法外吗？”男孩又固执地盯着自己的膝盖。安妮卡突然想到一件事：“你……你认出那辆车里的男人了吗？”男孩犹豫了一下，手指绞着，轻声说道：“也许吧。”)”可知，原文明确Benny的死亡不是意外，排除B；节选未提及凶手逃脱、Annika实施犯罪，排除C、D；男孩是案件关键目击证人，可合理推测全书内容中男孩最终帮助抓获凶手，因此答案选A。 B A few years ago, our administrative team sent home what we thought was a clear English message regarding a schedule change about an upcoming assessment. The next week, a visibly frustrated mother stopped me in the hallway. She said, in Spanish, that she hadn’t known anything about the schedule change. Her child was embarrassed and anxious, because they felt unprepared for the assessment. From the school’s point of view, we had “communicated”. From the family’s point of view, we hadn’t. About 40 percent of the students at our middle school are Hispanic, and many speak Spanish or another language at home. Each year, we welcome dozens of newcomers, including students with interrupted formal education. The math is simple: Communication needs far outpace available bilingual teachers. Our first move was to stop rewriting the same messages from scratch. We created a shared cloud folder with message banks for our most common situations. Each pattern follows a simple, translation-friendly structure. We drafted everything in plain English first, avoiding idioms and long sentences. Then, with help from our bilingual staff, we created Spanish versions of the most-used patterns. We also realized that not every message needs to be a long email. Listening to a 60-to-90-second message — even with imperfect translation — is often easier for busy families. These messages are scripted from our banks, so they stay concise. Families have told us that hearing a familiar voice, even if they rely on the captions (字幕), helps them feel more connected and less intimidated. Memories might fail us when we try to track the families we’ve contacted. So we’ve created a shared contact log. It is now a complement to our student information system — it gives us a quick, human-centered view of communication patterns. When communication becomes more consistent and accessible, families feel like true partners. And when families can actually hear us — and we can truly hear them — everything else we’re trying to improve at school becomes a little bit easier. 4. Why did the mother feel upset? A. Because her son struggled to fit in. B. Because the message didn’t get across. C. Because her son failed the assessment. D. Because she forgot the schedule change. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Bilingual teachers are in short supply. B. Communication class is not available. C. Students must learn a second language. D. Math in middle school is easy to learn. 6. Which of the following could be an appropriate school message? A. “Pass the test with flying colors.” B. “Test time is changed to this Friday.” C. “Hit the books for the upcoming test.” D. “Not until Friday will the test begin.” 7. Which of the following best describes the school’s practice? A. Complex. B. Inclusive. C. Ambitious. D. Traditional. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一所中学因西语裔学生占比高、双语师资不足，出现家校沟通不畅的问题，随后学校通过搭建常用消息模板库、推出短语音通知、建立共享沟通日志等方式优化沟通机制，最终实现家校有效协作的实践过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She said, in Spanish, that she hadn’t known anything about the schedule change. Her child was embarrassed and anxious, because they felt unprepared for the assessment. From the school’s point of view, we had “communicated”. From the family’s point of view, we hadn’t.(她用西班牙语表示，她对日程调整一事毫不知情。她的孩子既尴尬又焦虑，因为觉得自己对测评毫无准备。在学校看来，我们已经‘通知到位了’。但在这户家庭看来，我们并没有。)”可知，这位母亲感到气恼的原因是学校的通知没有传达到位，双方出现了沟通偏差。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The math is simple: Communication needs far outpace available bilingual teachers.(道理很简单：沟通需求远远超过了现有双语教师的供给能力。)”可知，学校的沟通需求量大，但现有双语教师的数量跟不上需求。由此推知，双语教师供不应求，处于短缺状态。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We drafted everything in plain English first, avoiding idioms and long sentences.(我们首先用浅显的英文撰写所有内容，避免使用习语和长难句。)”可知，学校的官方通知要求语言直白简单，禁用习语与复杂句式。只有B项句式简洁、表意直白，符合校园通知的撰写标准，符合题意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Then, with help from our bilingual staff, we created Spanish versions of the most‑used patterns.(随后，在双语教职工的协助下，我们制作了最常用通知模板的西班牙语版本。)”、第五段中的“Listening to a 60‑to‑90‑second message — even with imperfect translation — is often easier for busy families.(对于忙碌的家庭而言，收听一条60到90秒的语音消息——即便翻译不够完美——往往更容易理解。)”以及最后一段中的“When communication becomes more consistent and accessible, families feel like true partners.(当沟通变得更统一顺畅、更容易获取时，家庭会感觉自己是真正的合作伙伴。)”可知，学校针对不同语言背景家庭的实际困难，制作双语通知模板、提供简短语音消息，方便各类家庭接收学校通知。综合以上多处细节可以看出，学校的做法充分兼顾不同群体的需求，具有包容的特点。 C Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence, a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Duy arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. “There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers.” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence which can be taught are key to a child’s life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian; strict, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy. In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school. This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research. 8. What is special about the BYU professors' study? A. It focused on father’s role in parenting. B. It was based on a number of large families. C. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school. D. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. 9. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children? A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them. C. Control their behaviors. D. Explain the rules to them. 10. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers? A. Single parents. B. Authoritarian fathers. C. Children aged from 11 to 14. D. Mothers in two-parent homes. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers B. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future C. Children Tend to Learn Determination from Fathers D. Family Relationship Influences School Performance 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位。研究人员认为，父亲们需要采用一种“权威”的养育方式，且一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. (杨百翰大学的研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位)”可知杨百翰大学研究的特别之处在于，它关注的是父亲在养育子女中的角色。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy.(相反，权威的养育方式包括以下一些特征：孩子们感受到来自父亲的温暖和爱；强调责任和规则背后的原因；孩子们被给予适当的自主权)”可知一个有权威的父亲在抚养孩子时会向他们解释规则。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research. (然而，研究人员认为，单亲父母仍然可能在教授坚持不懈的好处方面发挥作用，这是未来研究的一个方向)”可知根据研究人员的说法，单亲父母是未来研究的重点。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段中“A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school.(一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩)”和文章主要内容为说明父亲在养育子女中的角色，故选C选项“孩子们倾向于向父亲学习决心”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how melted water could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers (聚合物), such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Repeated use. C. Saving water. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What do we know about jelly ice? A. It lengthens tomato growing cycles. B. It is completely composed of water. C. It reduces the spread of bacteria. D. It shortens the freezing time. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Other natural polymers will be available. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Jelly ice needs further development. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍加州大学研发的果冻冰，可重复使用、可降解，制冷且不会化成液体，用途广泛，但尚未上市，仍需进一步研发测试。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.(我们可以重复使用材料，并在多次降温和升温循环中保持吸热性能，这是普通冰所不具备的优势)”可知，果冻冰相比传统冰的一个显著优势是能够重复使用。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how melted water could spread bacteria.(该项目始于加州大学戴维斯分校的食品科学家注意到鱼类加工厂使用了大量冰块，以及融化的水可能传播细菌)”可知，果冻冰能够有效减少细菌的传播。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.(尽管该技术的许可证已获得，但果冻冰尚未开放向公众销售。目前仍需进行市场分析、产品设计以及大规模生产测试)”可知，果冻冰在真正上市前还需要进一步的研发和完善。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid.(如今，加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员成功研制出“果冻冰”，这是一种可重复使用且可生物降解的替代品，它能像冰一样降温，但永远不会融化成液体)”以及文章主要介绍了一种新型冷却材料“果冻冰”。全文均围绕这种“不融化”的特性及其带来的优势、应用前景展开，A选项“一种不融化的冷却材料”最符合文章标题。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Top Tips for Writing Richer Characters What’s the secret to writing the best story of your life? It starts with characterization.____16____ Through your characters’ eyes, readers not only understand your world but also see themselves in your characters. Relatable characters help readers learn lessons that impact them long after finishing the book. So how do you build strong characters? Make them human. Your goal is to create unique characters. Uniqueness requires more than simply combining strange personal qualities. You have to dig deeper than that. ____17____ You must know where the characters come from and how their past experiences will influence their future choices. Your characters also need self-motivation and faults to be believable. They won’t feel reliable if they’re only moving as agents of the plot, and the story won’t either. No human can see themselves as perfect and faultless. ____18____ For a character to be relatable, a reader needs to see themselves in that character. ____19____ When your characters make bad choices, it doesn’t destroy the story. Your story is about those characters’ choices. Allow your characters to experience the consequences of their bad decisions. So, you can develop your characters further throughout the rest of your story. Make sure you document how your characters grow. Otherwise, they become bound by the plot and lose their relatability. Describe the central conflict from hero’s and opponent’s view. A deep understanding of both sides is vital to creating balance in your story. Both characters have motivations, desires, and fears, making the conflict richer and more engaging. It prevents any character from falling into stereotypes (刻板印象). ____20____ A. Make a path of progress. B. Focus on their backstory. C. Understand what your readers want. D. Great stories develop from believable characters. E. Your human readers will reject a perfect character. F. A good character possesses many positive personal qualities. G. Instead, they become multi-dimensional with their own logic. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. A 20.

So, they walked out of the station and got into their car. The two officers had expected they’d have to deal with an annoying beggar troubling the passers-by for money. But when they arrived at the crime scene, they were shocked at the beggar’s appearance. The man had tears in his eyes and was sitting on the subway stairs, looking untidy and tired. “Excuse me, sir,” Officer Jackson said. “You can’t stay here, nor can you bother the people to give you money. You have to leave this place.” “Look, officers,” the man sighed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble, okay? I lost my cane (拐杖), and I can’t walk without it. I wanted a few cents so I could get myself something to eat.” The two officers exchanged looks, knowing the man wasn’t a disturbance but someone who really needed their help. So they promised to get him food, buy him a cane, and drop him home. After doing that, the officers drove to the beggar’s home, only to discover he had no home at all. He was just wandering in the streets and living off the leftovers he managed to find. The poor man said his name was Eugene. When he was working at a skyscraper construction site, he was injured and became disabled, losing his ability to walk. Unfortunately, his disability forbade him from doing physical labor, and he wasn’t well-educated to find a desk job, so he remained jobless. Because he couldn’t provide for his family, his wife and children left him. “I don’t have any hopes of changing my destiny (命运), officers,” the man said. But Officer Jackson wanted Eugene to change his life. “You’re still young,” he said. “You can’t lose hope so soon. He brought him something warm to eat, helped him take a shower, and gave him his warm boots. After his work, Officer Jackson drove Eugene to a shelter for the homeless and left. 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。 Since that day, Eugene had never expected to meet the two officers again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, Eugene was a changed man. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Since that day, Eugene had never expected to meet the two officers again. But three months later, he saw a cop’s car pull over outside the shelter, and Officer Jackson got off. Eugene was shocked. “I just have to give you something, Eugene,” Officer Jackson said. He gave Eugene an envelope containing $12,000 inside. The two officers had started a campaign for Eugene and managed to raise that amount in three months. “You can slowly start a new life with this money, friend,” Officer Jackson said encouragingly. Eugene was deeply touched by their kindness. A few months later, Eugene was a changed man. He got a job at the shelter and rented an apartment nearby. He was also continuing to seek help and meet a psychologist to heal the wounds his past had given him. Every day before going to work, he would clean up his appearance and face his colleagues and work in the best state. People at the shelter all loved the warm and positive man, all thanks to the two kind officers. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了两位警官一次执勤的时候偶遇一个可怜的残疾人，两位警官不仅帮助了这位可怜人还为他筹集了钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，Eugene再也没有想到会再见到那两位警官。”可知，第一段可描写Eugene再次见到两位警官以及他们为Eugene所做的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，Eugene变了一个人。”可知，第二段可描写Eugene为两位警官的善心所打动所发生的变化。 2.续写线索：两位警官接到报警，地铁里发生了骚乱——两位警官到达现场后，发现了可怜的Eugene——两位警官很同情Eugene，于是他们给他买了食物以及手杖，然后送他回家——他们发现可怜的Eugene根本没有家，便将他送到了收容所——两个月后，两名警官再次找到Eugene，给他更多的帮助——Eugene发生变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/launch ②筹集：raise/collect ③继续：continue/go on 情绪类 ①吃惊的：shocked/surprised ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】He gave Eugene an envelope containing $12,000 inside.（运用了非谓语动词作后置定语） 【高分句型2】He was also continuing to seek help and meet a psychologist to heal the wounds his past had given him.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆八中2026—2027学年度（上）高二年级第一次月考 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times!’s “amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half of that within a day’s drive of most cities? Happy. And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle (Ecco, $14.99) Biography When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor. J D. Salinger: A Life by Kenneth Slawenski (Random House, $27) Short Stories She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t. You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books, $15) Mystery (疑案小说) “You’re a smart boy.

Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, $25.99) 1. The book Happy: And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for ________. A. young children B.

You Are Free D. Red Wolf 3. After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that ________. A. the boy helped catch the murderer B. Benny died of an accident C. the murderer got away with the crime D. Annika carried out the crime B A few years ago, our administrative team sent home what we thought was a clear English message regarding a schedule change about an upcoming assessment. The next week, a visibly frustrated mother stopped me in the hallway. She said, in Spanish, that she hadn’t known anything about the schedule change. Her child was embarrassed and anxious, because they felt unprepared for the assessment. From the school’s point of view, we had “communicated”. From the family’s point of view, we hadn’t. About 40 percent of the students at our middle school are Hispanic, and many speak Spanish or another language at home. Each year, we welcome dozens of newcomers, including students with interrupted formal education. The math is simple: Communication needs far outpace available bilingual teachers. Our first move was to stop rewriting the same messages from scratch. We created a shared cloud folder with message banks for our most common situations. Each pattern follows a simple, translation-friendly structure. We drafted everything in plain English first, avoiding idioms and long sentences. Then, with help from our bilingual staff, we created Spanish versions of the most-used patterns. We also realized that not every message needs to be a long email. Listening to a 60-to-90-second message — even with imperfect translation — is often easier for busy families. These messages are scripted from our banks, so they stay concise. Families have told us that hearing a familiar voice, even if they rely on the captions (字幕), helps them feel more connected and less intimidated. Memories might fail us when we try to track the families we’ve contacted. So we’ve created a shared contact log. It is now a complement to our student information system — it gives us a quick, human-centered view of communication patterns. When communication becomes more consistent and accessible, families feel like true partners. And when families can actually hear us — and we can truly hear them — everything else we’re trying to improve at school becomes a little bit easier. 4. Why did the mother feel upset? A. Because her son struggled to fit in. B. Because the message didn’t get across. C. Because her son failed the assessment. D. Because she forgot the schedule change. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Bilingual teachers are in short supply. B. Communication class is not available. C. Students must learn a second language. D. Math in middle school is easy to learn. 6. Which of the following could be an appropriate school message? A. “Pass the test with flying colors.” B. “Test time is changed to this Friday.” C. “Hit the books for the upcoming test.” D. “Not until Friday will the test begin.” 7. Which of the following best describes the school’s practice? A. Complex. B. Inclusive. C. Ambitious. D. Traditional. C Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence, a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Duy arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. “There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers.” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence which can be taught are key to a child’s life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian; strict, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given a proper level of autonomy. In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better results in school. This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research. 8. What is special about the BYU professors' study? A. It focused on father’s role in parenting. B. It was based on a number of large families. C. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school. D. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. 9. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children? A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them. C. Control their behaviors. D. Explain the rules to them. 10. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers? A. Single parents. B. Authoritarian fathers. C. Children aged from 11 to 14. D. Mothers in two-parent homes. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers B. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future C. Children Tend to Learn Determination from Fathers D. Family Relationship Influences School Performance D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how melted water could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers (聚合物), such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Repeated use. C. Saving water. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What do we know about jelly ice? A.

It starts with characterization.____16____ Through your characters’ eyes, readers not only understand your world but also see themselves in your characters. Relatable characters help readers learn lessons that impact them long after finishing the book. So how do you build strong characters? Make them human. Your goal is to create unique characters. Uniqueness requires more than simply combining strange personal qualities. You have to dig deeper than that. ____17____ You must know where the characters come from and how their past experiences will influence their future choices. Your characters also need self-motivation and faults to be believable. They won’t feel reliable if they’re only moving as agents of the plot, and the story won’t either. No human can see themselves as perfect and faultless. ____18____ For a character to be relatable, a reader needs to see themselves in that character. ____19____ When your characters make bad choices, it doesn’t destroy the story. Your story is about those characters’ choices. Allow your characters to experience the consequences of their bad decisions. So, you can develop your characters further throughout the rest of your story. Make sure you document how your characters grow. Otherwise, they become bound by the plot and lose their relatability. Describe the central conflict from hero’s and opponent’s view. A deep understanding of both sides is vital to creating balance in your story. Both characters have motivations, desires, and fears, making the conflict richer and more engaging. It prevents any character from falling into stereotypes (刻板印象). ____20____ A. Make a path of progress. B. Focus on their backstory. C. Understand what your readers want. D. Great stories develop from believable characters. E. Your human readers will reject a perfect character. F. A good character possesses many positive personal qualities. G. Instead, they become multi-dimensional with their own logic. 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。 Clinton was a great example of the student every teacher loves to have in class.

So, they walked out of the station and got into their car. The two officers had expected they’d have to deal with an annoying beggar troubling the passers-by for money. But when they arrived at the crime scene, they were shocked at the beggar’s appearance. The man had tears in his eyes and was sitting on the subway stairs, looking untidy and tired. “Excuse me, sir,” Officer Jackson said. “You can’t stay here, nor can you bother the people to give you money. You have to leave this place.” “Look, officers,” the man sighed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble, okay? I lost my cane (拐杖), and I can’t walk without it. I wanted a few cents so I could get myself something to eat.” The two officers exchanged looks, knowing the man wasn’t a disturbance but someone who really needed their help. So they promised to get him food, buy him a cane, and drop him home. After doing that, the officers drove to the beggar’s home, only to discover he had no home at all. He was just wandering in the streets and living off the leftovers he managed to find. The poor man said his name was Eugene. When he was working at a skyscraper construction site, he was injured and became disabled, losing his ability to walk. Unfortunately, his disability forbade him from doing physical labor, and he wasn’t well-educated to find a desk job, so he remained jobless. Because he couldn’t provide for his family, his wife and children left him. “I don’t have any hopes of changing my destiny (命运), officers,” the man said. But Officer Jackson wanted Eugene to change his life. “You’re still young,” he said. “You can’t lose hope so soon. He brought him something warm to eat, helped him take a shower, and gave him his warm boots. After his work, Officer Jackson drove Eugene to a shelter for the homeless and left. 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。 Since that day, Eugene had never expected to meet the two officers again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, Eugene was a changed man. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
