Just at that time, a cleaner walked by and noticed my awkwardness. She comforted me patiently, telling me that the professor would come soon to get everything ready. I had to explain that I was exactly the professor the students inside were waiting for. Such identity misunderstandings have happened countless times since I started my teaching job. As a young female professor, I look far younger than my real age. Most people hold a fixed stereotype (刻板印象) that professors should be middle-aged and serious-looking. Therefore, I am often wrongly considered to be a college student or a young research assistant both on and off campus. For a long time, these repeated misunderstandings brought me huge self-doubt. I kept questioning whether I was qualified (合格的) for the job and whether I truly belonged to the academic community. Slowly, I was filled with endless anxiety until one day, when a student sent me a heartfelt note, saying my lectures broadened his educational views. This heartfelt message pulled me out and made me see things differently. Since then, I’ve changed my attitude. In the past, I tried dressing formally to look more mature (成熟的), but it never worked. Now I’ve just stopped caring about others’ judgments and put all my energy into teaching and scientific research. I carefully design every lecture and give patient guidance to every student. My professional capability and sincere efforts win wide recognition from my workmates and students. I have fully accepted myself. Appearance can never represent one’s ability or identity. I no longer need others’ positive comments to confirm my value. No matter what I look like, I know clearly that I belong here, and I am proud of being a qualified university professor. 4. Why does the author mention the cleaner? A. To explain her solution to a trouble. B. To share the wisdom of ordinary people. C. To show her awkwardness at the first lecture. D. To stress the importance of campus staff. 5. What inspired the author to change others’ impression of her? A. Her coworker’s praise. B. Her student’s appreciation. C. Her competitive nature. D. Her scientific breakthrough. 6. How does the author manage to change others’ impression of her? A. By getting more qualifications. B. By communicating with others. C. By improving her teaching skills. D. By dressing herself more formally. 7. What message does the text deliver? A. Stereotypes are hard to break down. B. Kind words brighten one’s day easily. C. Ability matters more than appearance. D. Teachers often face misunderstandings. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述年轻女大学教授常被人认错身份，经历自我怀疑后，专注教学科研，领悟能力远比外表重要。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Before giving my first official lecture at university, I stood helplessly outside the lecture hall, failing to open the classroom door. Just at that time, a cleaner walked by and noticed my awkwardness.(在大学上第一节正式讲座之前，我无助地站在报告厅门外，打不开教室门。就在这时，一位清洁工路过，注意到了我的窘迫。)”可知，作者讲述清洁工这件事，是为展示自己第一次上课时的尴尬处境，引出后文身份被误解的经历。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Slowly, I was filled with endless anxiety until one day, when a student sent me a heartfelt note, saying my lectures broadened his educational views. This heartfelt message pulled me out and made me see things differently.(慢慢地，我内心充满无尽焦虑，直到有一天一名学生给我写了一封真挚的便条，说我的课拓宽了他的教育视野。这条真挚的信息将我拉出来，让我换个角度看待事情。)”可知，学生的这份欣赏与肯定打动了作者，促使作者转变心态。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Now I’ve just stopped caring about others’ judgments and put all my energy into teaching and scientific research. I carefully design every lecture and give patient guidance to every student. My professional capability and sincere efforts win wide recognition from my workmates and students.(现在我不再在意别人的评价，把全部精力投入教学和科研。我精心设计每一堂课，耐心指导每一位学生。我的专业能力与真诚付出获得同事和学生广泛认可。)”可知，作者通过精进教学能力，赢得他人认可，改变大家对她的印象。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“I have fully accepted myself. Appearance can never represent one’s ability or identity. I no longer need others’ positive comments to confirm my value.(我完全接纳了自己。外表永远不能代表一个人的能力或身份。我不再需要他人的好评来证明自身价值。)”可知，文章旨在传达能力比外表更加重要的道理。 C Getting hugged by someone you care about can be a wonderfully encouraging experience. Research has shown that hugs can strengthen our social connections, improve our emotional state and reduce feelings of loneliness and sadness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health. Unluckily, not everyone has the chance to receive hugs whenever they need them. So, how can this problem be solved? One idea that scientists have suggested is developing social robots that hug people. These robots could probably offer lonely people the positive benefits of getting hugs without the need to know a person who hug them. However, creating a hug robot that is well received by people and leads to positive feelings reduced stress is no simple task. For example, if the robot is too large or has a design like some intimidating, people may feel uneasy about hugging it. Therefore, it is important for researchers carry out further studies to ensure that hug robots are designed in a way that supports acceptance and comfort. A recent study, published in International Journal of Social Robotics, focused on development of Mofully-II, a newly developed hug robot. It looks like a large, human-shaped bear and stands at two meters tall. During a hug, it is able to move its arms and perform different gestures (手势). Copying the actions that humans usually do during hugs, such as tapping on the back, is necessary for making the hug feel real. During the study, volunteers who received hugs from Mofully-II showed a preference for gestures over those without gestures. They sensed the robot as friendlier and safer performed gestures, and they found the hugs to be more enjoyable in general. While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of human, hug robots show possibilities for improving the well-being of those who are short of human touch. 8. What is one of the possible benefits of receiving hugs? A. Lowering emotional state. B. Increasing social connections. C. Controlling loneliness. D. Reducing stress and improving health. 9. The underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. terrible B. cool C. friendly D. convenient 10. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage? A. To prove the influence of gestures. B. To examine how effective hug robots are. C. To develop social robots for sick people. D. To study the behavior of robots in nursing homes. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Are You Ready to Hug a Robot? B. Is It Strange for Robots to Give Hugs? C. Are Robots Good at Giving Comforting Hugs? D. Do Robot Hugs Feel the Same as Human Hugs? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍拥抱带来的诸多好处，引出科学家研发拥抱机器人来弥补缺少人类拥抱的问题，并介绍Mofully-II这款拥抱机器人的相关研究，探讨拥抱机器人能否带来舒适的拥抱体验。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Research has shown that hugs can strengthen our social connections, improve our emotional state and reduce feelings of loneliness and sadness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health.(研究表明拥抱可以加强社会联系、改善情绪、减少孤独悲伤感，甚至有助于降低压力水平、改善健康状况)”可知，拥抱的好处之一是减压并改善健康。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“For example, if the robot is too large or has a design like some intimidating, people may feel uneasy about hugging it.(例如，如果机器人体型过大或者设计让人有些intimidating，人们拥抱它时会感到不安)”可知，如果人们在拥抱机器人时会感到不安，这说明机器人的设计让人害怕，由此猜测intimidating意为“吓人的、可怕的”，和terrible(可怕的)词义最接近。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Therefore, it is important for researchers carry out further studies to ensure that hug robots are designed in a way that supports acceptance and comfort.(因此，研究人员开展进一步研究来确保拥抱机器人的设计能让人接受、给人舒适感是十分重要的)”以及第四、五段介绍新型拥抱机器人Mofully-II的研发和相关测试，可推知这项研究的核心目的是检验拥抱机器人的效果。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先介绍拥抱的益处，提出研发拥抱机器人的构想，介绍拥抱机器人的研发试验，文末提出有人对拥抱机器人心存顾虑，探讨拥抱机器人这个新鲜事物。A选项 “Are You Ready to Hug a Robot?(你准备好拥抱机器人了吗？)”能够引出全文话题，吸引读者，概括文章围绕拥抱机器人展开探讨的内容，最适合作为本文标题。 D On 20 July, 1969, the world celebrated an important moment in history when American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, became the first man to walk on the moon, making a giant leap for humanity. For more than 50 years, human beings have tried many times to understand the space environment. These efforts have paid off. Today, we are in a better position to understand our universe in which we live, thanks to space exploration. Space exploration has triggered advances in science and technology which have benefited humans and improved the quality of life on Earth. These benefits are related to space technology such as satellite communications, the global positioning system (GPS) and weather forecasting. The development of satellite technology, for instance, makes telecommunications possible, connecting people from different parts of the world through satellite television, phones, radio and internet access. Today, space technology also enables us to have virtual meetings and lessons, making work and study from home possible. With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology. In countries such as America, Canada and those in Europe, space exploration has also generated jobs in fields related to engineering, technology and science. Even if interested youngsters do not end up in a job in these areas, space technology enriches their imagination about the possibility of life beyond Earth and space travel. To this end, space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration. Although there are many benefits, space exploration has often been criticized (批评) for its high cost. According to the University of Florida, it costs about $500 million to launch a space shuttle and many argue that this money could be better spent on solving the problems on Earth such as hunger, pollution, diseases and climate change. Although space exploration cannot directly provide immediate solutions to these problems, it generates many useful technologies and new knowledge in sciences necessary to improve the conditions of human life on Earth. Every year, about a thousand innovations in the space programmes find their way into earthly technology that leads to better farming, better medical instruments, and more energy-efficient vehicles (交通工具). As a result, the money spent on space exploration does finally benefit human beings. There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet when humans can live. 12. The words “triggered advances” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “______”. A. led to great progress B. slowed down the speed C. set back future growth D. caught up the development 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The benefits created by space exploration. B. The high-tech jobs generated by space exploration. C. The imaginative art works inspired by space exploration. D. The abilities youngsters developed through space exploration. 14. According to the writer, the money spent on space exploration ______. A. solves the worst problems on Earth directly B. benefits humans through space programmes C. fails to improve the conditions of human life D. limits the development of earth technology 15. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce technology programmes in space exploration. B. To compare different jobs generated by space exploration. C. To present the benefits brought by space exploration. D. To encourage people to carry on space exploration 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍太空探索带来的诸多益处，包括推动科技进步、催生相关岗位、激发想象力，同时回应了太空探索耗资巨大的质疑，论证太空探索对人类的价值。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Space exploration has triggered advances in science and technology which have benefited humans and improved the quality of life on Earth.(太空探索在科技方面triggered advances，造福人类并提升了地球上的生活质量)”可推知，太空探索促进了科技的进步，进而造福人类，提升地球上的生活质量，triggered advances含义为“带来巨大进展”，与led to great progress同义。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology.(伴随着由此而生的兴奋感与好奇心，太空探索正吸引年轻人投身工程、科学、技术与数学领域的事业，这推动了科技创新。)”以及“space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration.(太空探索不断激发人类的想象力，激励人们创作有关太空探索的故事、电影、摄影作品与歌曲。)”可推知，本段主要讲述太空探索带来的各类好处。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Every year, about a thousand innovations in the space programmes find their way into earthly technology(每年，太空项目中约上千项创新落地到地面技术)”和“As a result, the money spent on space exploration does finally benefit human beings.(因此投入太空探索的资金最终会让人类受益)”可知，花在太空探索上的钱通过太空项目造福人类。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文，尤其最后一段“There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet when humans can live.(毫无疑问，太空探索为人类带来了诸多益处。它还激励许多人更深入地认识地球与宇宙。在未来十年，我们有望不断迎来更多振奋人心的发现。我们甚至最终有可能找到另一颗可供人类居住的星球。)”可知，文章先介绍人类登月开启太空探索，从科技、就业、想象力多个角度阐述太空探索的价值，同时回应了太空探索成本过高的争议，最后展望未来太空探索的新发现，由此可推知，作者写作目的是鼓励人们继续探索太空。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) It is said that entering high school is the first step into the real world for any student. ____16____ We have to make our own decisions independently.

Our teacher took attendance and found out about the students who were absent, so eventually we were suspended (暂停) from our laboratory sessions for a week. Then, there came our first high school exam. I managed to be on the list of top 10 students of my class. ____19____ So this time, even after all the shenanigans (恶作剧) that I indulged in, I managed to get good marks. But this was the last time that I got good marks. I lost interest in studies and indulged in gaming, watching movies and reading novels. Thankfully, I didn’t do anything bad, but these normal activities made the situation worse, as I could not concentrate on my studies. I went through counseling (咨询) which I never thought I would ever require. ____20____ My parents were my sources of strength during that time. They encouraged me to study and motivated me to stay on the right path. A. There is a lot of study pressure. B. I was then distracted by games and movies. C. I had many bittersweet high school experiences. D. We are extremely excited as now we’re becoming adults. E. I had always been a good student academically. F.

Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school. One unexpected day, the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional sound of turning papers. As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost. Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. Anthony recognized the handwriting instantly — it was from his best friend, Mike. His heart pounded as he stared at the neatly written solutions. A part of him longed to copy them and avoid embarrassment, but memories of his teacher emphasizing honesty flashed through his mind. He glanced at Mike, who gave him an encouraging nod. However, Anthony recalled how his parents always told him that true success came from hard work, not shortcuts. The conflict within him grew fiercer. Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. He raised his hand and quietly informed the teacher about the incident. Though his voice trembled, he felt a wave of relief. To his surprise, the teacher praised his integrity and allowed him extra time to complete the test. Anthony answered the remaining questions calmly, doing his best. When the results came out, he scored lower than usual but earned everyone’s respect. That day, he learned that courage and honesty were far more valuable than perfect grades. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在声誉良好的奥尔巴尼小学，五年级学生安东尼热爱学习、乐观积极，在一次意外的考试中，面对自己不擅长且未充分准备的科目感到焦虑，此时朋友递来写有答案的纸条，安东尼在经历内心挣扎后做出正确选择的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那是他的一个朋友给他的一张纸条，告诉了他答案。”可知，第一段可描写安东尼面对答案时内心的矛盾与挣扎，以及回忆起老师、父母教导诚信的相关情节，为后文他的决定做铺垫 ②由第二段首句内容“安东尼深吸了一口气，拿起纸条，慢慢地把它撕成碎片。”可知，第二段可描写安东尼向老师说明情况，老师的反应，以及后续考试结果和这件事给他带来的成长与感悟，突出诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索：收到答案纸条（矛盾纠结）——回忆老师和父母教导（内心挣扎）——决定拒绝作弊（撕毁纸条）——向老师说明情况（老师表扬）——完成考试（成绩虽低但获尊重）——得到成长感悟（诚实比成绩重要） 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认出：recognize/identify ②赞扬：praise/think highly of ③告知：inform/tell ④回忆：recall/remember 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②欣慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He glanced at Mike, who gave him an encouraging nod.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型 2】When the results came out, he scored lower than usual but earned everyone’s respect.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年秋期高一年级质量检测一 英语试题 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分20分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Before giving my first official lecture at university, I stood helplessly outside the lecture hall, failing to open the classroom door. Just at that time, a cleaner walked by and noticed my awkwardness. She comforted me patiently, telling me that the professor would come soon to get everything ready. I had to explain that I was exactly the professor the students inside were waiting for. Such identity misunderstandings have happened countless times since I started my teaching job. As a young female professor, I look far younger than my real age. Most people hold a fixed stereotype (刻板印象) that professors should be middle-aged and serious-looking. Therefore, I am often wrongly considered to be a college student or a young research assistant both on and off campus. For a long time, these repeated misunderstandings brought me huge self-doubt. I kept questioning whether I was qualified (合格的) for the job and whether I truly belonged to the academic community. Slowly, I was filled with endless anxiety until one day, when a student sent me a heartfelt note, saying my lectures broadened his educational views. This heartfelt message pulled me out and made me see things differently. Since then, I’ve changed my attitude. In the past, I tried dressing formally to look more mature (成熟的), but it never worked. Now I’ve just stopped caring about others’ judgments and put all my energy into teaching and scientific research. I carefully design every lecture and give patient guidance to every student. My professional capability and sincere efforts win wide recognition from my workmates and students. I have fully accepted myself. Appearance can never represent one’s ability or identity. I no longer need others’ positive comments to confirm my value. No matter what I look like, I know clearly that I belong here, and I am proud of being a qualified university professor. 4. Why does the author mention the cleaner? A. To explain her solution to a trouble. B. To share the wisdom of ordinary people. C. To show her awkwardness at the first lecture. D. To stress the importance of campus staff. 5. What inspired the author to change others’ impression of her? A. Her coworker’s praise. B. Her student’s appreciation. C. Her competitive nature. D. Her scientific breakthrough. 6. How does the author manage to change others’ impression of her? A. By getting more qualifications. B. By communicating with others. C. By improving her teaching skills. D. By dressing herself more formally. 7. What message does the text deliver? A. Stereotypes are hard to break down. B. Kind words brighten one’s day easily. C. Ability matters more than appearance. D. Teachers often face misunderstandings. C Getting hugged by someone you care about can be a wonderfully encouraging experience. Research has shown that hugs can strengthen our social connections, improve our emotional state and reduce feelings of loneliness and sadness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health. Unluckily, not everyone has the chance to receive hugs whenever they need them. So, how can this problem be solved? One idea that scientists have suggested is developing social robots that hug people. These robots could probably offer lonely people the positive benefits of getting hugs without the need to know a person who hug them. However, creating a hug robot that is well received by people and leads to positive feelings reduced stress is no simple task. For example, if the robot is too large or has a design like some intimidating, people may feel uneasy about hugging it. Therefore, it is important for researchers carry out further studies to ensure that hug robots are designed in a way that supports acceptance and comfort. A recent study, published in International Journal of Social Robotics, focused on development of Mofully-II, a newly developed hug robot. It looks like a large, human-shaped bear and stands at two meters tall. During a hug, it is able to move its arms and perform different gestures (手势). Copying the actions that humans usually do during hugs, such as tapping on the back, is necessary for making the hug feel real. During the study, volunteers who received hugs from Mofully-II showed a preference for gestures over those without gestures. They sensed the robot as friendlier and safer performed gestures, and they found the hugs to be more enjoyable in general. While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of human, hug robots show possibilities for improving the well-being of those who are short of human touch. 8. What is one of the possible benefits of receiving hugs? A. Lowering emotional state. B. Increasing social connections. C. Controlling loneliness. D. Reducing stress and improving health. 9. The underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. terrible B. cool C. friendly D. convenient 10. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage? A. To prove the influence of gestures. B. To examine how effective hug robots are. C. To develop social robots for sick people. D. To study the behavior of robots in nursing homes. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Are You Ready to Hug a Robot? B. Is It Strange for Robots to Give Hugs? C. Are Robots Good at Giving Comforting Hugs? D. Do Robot Hugs Feel the Same as Human Hugs? D On 20 July, 1969, the world celebrated an important moment in history when American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, became the first man to walk on the moon, making a giant leap for humanity. For more than 50 years, human beings have tried many times to understand the space environment. These efforts have paid off. Today, we are in a better position to understand our universe in which we live, thanks to space exploration. Space exploration has triggered advances in science and technology which have benefited humans and improved the quality of life on Earth. These benefits are related to space technology such as satellite communications, the global positioning system (GPS) and weather forecasting. The development of satellite technology, for instance, makes telecommunications possible, connecting people from different parts of the world through satellite television, phones, radio and internet access. Today, space technology also enables us to have virtual meetings and lessons, making work and study from home possible. With the excitement and curiosity generated (产生), space exploration is attracting young people to careers in engineering, science, technology and mathematics, which creates innovations (创新) in science and technology. In countries such as America, Canada and those in Europe, space exploration has also generated jobs in fields related to engineering, technology and science. Even if interested youngsters do not end up in a job in these areas, space technology enriches their imagination about the possibility of life beyond Earth and space travel. To this end, space exploration continues to encourage human imagination, inspiring people to write stories and create movies, photographs and songs about space exploration. Although there are many benefits, space exploration has often been criticized (批评) for its high cost. According to the University of Florida, it costs about $500 million to launch a space shuttle and many argue that this money could be better spent on solving the problems on Earth such as hunger, pollution, diseases and climate change. Although space exploration cannot directly provide immediate solutions to these problems, it generates many useful technologies and new knowledge in sciences necessary to improve the conditions of human life on Earth. Every year, about a thousand innovations in the space programmes find their way into earthly technology that leads to better farming, better medical instruments, and more energy-efficient vehicles (交通工具). As a result, the money spent on space exploration does finally benefit human beings. There is no doubt that space exploration has produced many benefits for humanity. It has also encouraged many to understand Earth and the universe in a deeper way. In the coming decade, we can continue to expect more exciting discoveries. We may eventually even find another planet when humans can live. 12. The words “triggered advances” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “______”. A. led to great progress B. slowed down the speed C. set back future growth D. caught up the development 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The benefits created by space exploration. B. The high-tech jobs generated by space exploration. C. The imaginative art works inspired by space exploration. D. The abilities youngsters developed through space exploration. 14. According to the writer, the money spent on space exploration ______. A. solves the worst problems on Earth directly B. benefits humans through space programmes C. fails to improve the conditions of human life D. limits the development of earth technology 15. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce technology programmes in space exploration. B. To compare different jobs generated by space exploration. C. To present the benefits brought by space exploration. D. To encourage people to carry on space exploration 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) It is said that entering high school is the first step into the real world for any student. ____16____ We have to make our own decisions independently. We were unaware of this from our childhood because that was when we were allowed to make mistakes, with everyone thinking that we were kids.

You can never expect to live a carefree life in high school. ____17____ We need to balance our academics and extracurricular activities and also prepare for competitive exams that lie ahead.

Our teacher took attendance and found out about the students who were absent, so eventually we were suspended (暂停) from our laboratory sessions for a week. Then, there came our first high school exam. I managed to be on the list of top 10 students of my class. ____19____ So this time, even after all the shenanigans (恶作剧) that I indulged in, I managed to get good marks. But this was the last time that I got good marks. I lost interest in studies and indulged in gaming, watching movies and reading novels. Thankfully, I didn’t do anything bad, but these normal activities made the situation worse, as I could not concentrate on my studies. I went through counseling (咨询) which I never thought I would ever require. ____20____ My parents were my sources of strength during that time.

Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school. One unexpected day, the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional sound of turning papers. As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost. Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
