As your friend, I’d love to share some practical tips. To begin with, it is advisable for you to join the Chinese painting club, where you can learn fundamental techniques like brushwork and ink application from experienced teachers. Additionally, practicing drawing basic subjects such as bamboo or plum blossoms would be a great way to grasp the essence of this art form. You can also find a wealth of information on the Internet for deeper insights. Don’t hesitate to visit local art museums to observe classic works. I sincerely hope that you’ll have a smooth and rewarding learning experience and soon be able to create wonderful artworks. Yours, Li Hua 67．参考范文： Over time, the dog started following me, becoming a regular part of my day. I’d see him on my walk to school, who was trying to keep pace with me. He’d attend at least one of my classes. At lunch, as he wasn’t allowed inside the school canteen, he’d patiently wait outside until I was done. I’d give him some food, and then he’d disappear somewhere. When I stayed late in the office alone for lesson plans for the next day, the dog friend would run in. Somehow, he knew that I needed someone to talk to. When I finished my work, we would walk on the way home. When the dog led me to the town one day, my lonely days here began to end. One night, I stayed alone in the office preparing for my lesson plans as usual. When I was finishing my work, the dog ran in. I followed him out of the office and we walked down the path back to my home. Strangely, instead of following me to my home, the dog led me straight into town. Upon arrival, he pulled me to the snooker hall, which was packed with locals, all chatting, laughing and having a good time. And that was where I met my first group of friends. My friend group had grown with more visits to town with the dog. I was grateful to the little dog who pushed me forward. 录音材料 Text 1 W: It's January, and it's been raining the whole month. How long does the rainy season last here? M: About four months. It begins in early November and lasts until February. Text 2 W:Please pull over. I need to buy some drinks in that store. M: I'm afraid I can't. Parking is not allowed here. Text 3 W:My brother joined the army last year. M: Oh, what does he look like? Is he tall? W: He's tall and strong. Text 4 W: Where is Linda this morning? Is she attending a school activity? M: No, she is taking care of Mrs. Smith's twins. She wants to make some money for her favorite singer's concert. W: Really? She really impresses me! Babysitting is a difficult job. M: Absolutely, she says she will do it every Sunday. Text 5 M: There's a bandage on your knee. What's wrong, sweetheart? W. I fell down in PE class. Don't worry. My teacher has taken me to the clinic. The doctor said it was just a slight injury. M: Have a rest. Dinner will be ready in a minute. Text 6 W:Isn't it interesting that some things have good meanings in some cultures and bad meanings in others? M: What do you mean? W:Well, for example, if you give somebody the " thumbs up" sign here in Scotland, it means "good" or "OK". But if you do it in some parts of Italy or Eastern Europe, it means something bad. M: What does it mean? W:Trust me, you don't want to know! But that reminds me... when Indians shake their head from side to side, it means "yes" M: Wow, that's confusing. What if you want to say "Hello" or "Goodbye" there? W:I think you just wave normally. Text 7 M: Hey, Monica. I can't attend the meeting this afternoon. I have something more important to do. W: All right. But can you attend the gathering at the restaurant this evening? M: Well, do you know when we are supposed to show up at the restaurant? W: David told everyone to be there by 7:00. He also said if any of us was going to be late, just call him. M: But I have been asked by Mr. Smith to drop off some packages at our head office. I'm not sure if I will be able to make it there on time. W:If you are driving out to the head office now, you'd better call David. The traffic usually gets pretty heavy during the time you come back. Text 8 M: Morning, Stacey. How was your weekend? W: Really good, thanks. I went shopping with my eldest daughter. It was a great time for us. M: That sounds nice. I didn't know you had children. W: I have three daughters and a son. My two younger daughters hate shopping and my son was at football with my husband all weekend. M: Did you buy much? W. Yes. I bought a coat for each one of my children. I also bought a ring for my sister as it's her fiftieth birthday on Wednesday. I got myself some new gloves and a warm hat as it's been snowing so much lately. M: That's a good idea. It's been so cold. I need some more warm clothes. I don't hate the cold, but I miss the hot weather sometimes. I might go on holiday soon, somewhere warm. W: Oh, that sounds wonderful! However, personally speaking, I quite like this time of year as it will be Christmas soon. Text 9 W: Are you free this weekend? My company is hosting a charity marathon and they're looking for volunteers. M:Hmm, that sounds interesting, Emily. What's it all about? W: Well, we've got a conference to explain the details tonight but basically, it's to raise money to provide some facilities for the nearby primary schools. Would you be interested in helping out? We provide all the training needed. M:Absolutely, count me in. What would I need to do? W:We want people to help with the set-up, hand out water to runners, and manage the finishing line. There are lots of options; you can take multiple jobs if you want to, depending on what's needed. M: Okay, I'd like to work the finishing line and go from there. W: Great! It starts early. We're gathering around 4 a.m. The racers arrive from six to six-thirty to kick off at seven. We should be finished in the early afternoon. M: No problem. I'm an early riser. Text 10 M: Many years ago, I taught a student named Tom who was from a very poor family. He was very smart and never late with his homework. Every day at lunch I would see him go to the library instead of eating with everyone else. When I asked him about it, he said that he would rather study than eat. At first, I thought this was very good, but then I found out that he only did this because he could not afford to pay for lunch. I did not want to upset him by telling him what I learned, so I brought extra food with me every day and told him that my wife always packed me too much lunch because she was a chef at a restaurant and got food very cheap. He took the extra food, and ate lunch with me even though he seemed embarrassed. Years later, 1 received a letter from Tom and it was full of thanks. He became a doctor and now travels to poor hospitals around the world to help those in need. 第 1 页 共 4 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 包头市第九十七中学2025-2026学年度第一学期 高三年级英语8月月考试题 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。 每段对话仅读一遍。 1．When does the rainy season start?

And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with the water testing devices. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 21. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 23. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. B There must be few occasions when it would be really rude to refuse an invitation to hit someone you’ve just met with your fist! But I’m in one of those right now. I’m in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she’d need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate（空手道）and skill in fencing, a sport she’d never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register. Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap（拍）. When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap. In the rehearsal room, I can’t resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight. Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs, “Oh, I’d be awful,” she says. “I only know how to pretend.” I can’t help thinking, however, that she’s just being rather humble. 24. Why does Kate ask the author to hit her? A. To show actors stage fighting skills. B. To teach actors to defend themselves. C. To help actors rehearse an action scene. D. To attract actors’ interest in martial arts. 25. What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director? A. She could not find a female teacher. B. She had no prior experience in drama. C. She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D. She had trouble obtaining a certificate. 26. What do the underlined words “smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A difficult technique. B. A dangerous situation. C. A well-planned lesson. D. A misleading performance. 27. What does the author imply about Kate’s real fighting ability? A. She relies a lot on tricks. B. She may lack confidence in herself. C. She might be better than she admits D. She excels more at performing than fighting. C Not too long ago, on a cold winter night, there was a teenager who wanted more screen time and a parent who said no. The teenager was advocating for her right to scroll for an extra 30 minutes. The parent argued that none of her friends’ parents let them have screens after 9 o’clock. “I thought, in this family, we don’t compare ourselves with other people, Dad?” the teenager replied. The parent — who was me, by the way — just got served. Since they were young, I have told my kids not to compare themselves with other people. I have argued countless times that comparisons are the “thief of joy”. Although my daughter didn’t win, she did help expose one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever given. In my defence, I did what we’ve all done before, which is to repeat received wisdom without exploring the fine differences. But now is the time to set the record straight, which starts with questioning the idea that all social comparison is unhealthy. Social comparisons do, of course, often get us into emotional trouble. But they can be harnessed (利用) for our betterment if we understand how they work. The social comparisons we make — ones that lead us to feel good or bad about ourselves — are vital to our ability to thrive (成长). Science provides a guide we can use to harness the way we perform these comparisons to reduce their negative emotional impacts. Comparing yourself with someone who is outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they have and you don’t, or it can be energizing and inspiring if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation, for example, “If they can achieve that, so can I.” Comparing yourself with someone who is doing worse than you could result in fear and worry if you think about how you could fall into similar circumstances, or it can draw out feelings of gratitude and appreciation if you use that comparison to broaden your views — for example, “Wow, things could be much worse; I’m doing great.” What I wish I taught my daughter earlier are these nuances. How we feel about ourselves rests not just on whom we compare ourselves with but also on how we think about that comparison. That’s something we all have control over. 28. How did the author feel about his daughter’s argument? A. Excited. B. Inspired. C. Energized. D. Relieved. 29. According to the passage, which best explains why social comparisons can be beneficial? A. They help people avoid emotional trouble completely. B. They provide motivation when viewed from a positive angle. C. They allow people to control others’ opinions effectively. D. They eliminate the fear of falling behind others permanently. 30. Which of the following social comparison examples would the author most likely agree with? A. A student who stops checking classmates’ test scores to avoid feeling bad. B. An employee who feels discouraged after seeing a colleague’s promotion. C. A fitness enthusiast who uses a professional athlete’s training routine as inspiration to improve their own workouts. D. A person who frequently compares their lifestyle with influencers’ selected posts on social media. 31. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Become a Healthy Habit B. Comparing Ourselves with Others Can Strengthen Family Ties C. Social Comparisons Can Get Us into Emotional Trouble D. Social Comparisons Can Be Controlled by Science D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts（融化）, 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 warning 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 melt 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, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 32. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 33. What does the author imply about jelly ice? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles. B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is Creative Chaos? Many people who work in creative fields often prefer a chaotic or disorderly environment around them while they work on new ideas or projects. The painter Pablo Picasso once said, “An act of art begins as an act of destruction.” 36 Creative chaos occurs when established patterns are broken, with the hope of something new arising from the positive chaos by the destruction. 37 They often gain fresh and surprising achievements when getting through a creative deadlock. According to an old saying, one cannot make an omelette without breaking some eggs. 38 One cannot create an exciting new dish without burning several pans and breaking dozens of eggs. People who do well in such an environment are most comfortable at the moment of discovery and beyond. They are less interested in the weeks or months of experimentation that lead up to it. This explains why creative people’s offices are often filled to the ceiling with a mess of papers and materials. 39 The excitement of a new discovery matters more. The practice of creative chaos in the workplace has long been debated. Some employees whose jobs require significant creativity often find themselves in conflict with their bosses. These bosses fail to understand their need for disorder. An artist working alone in a studio or a writer working in an office may be able to work in chaos. 40 Maintaining a balance between order and disorder can be challenging for companies that need employees with creative backgrounds. A. The theory remains to be proved. B. It can be applied to different situations. C. For them, order and tidiness come second. D. But company employees may lack that luxury. E. This idea goes even further with creative chaos. F. Creative people see this moment as a breakthrough. G. It well describes the phenomenon known as creative chaos. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I decided to join a Buy Nothing group, a thick fog of doubt hung over me. I felt increasingly 41 as I looked at the possessions crowding my shelves. But the moment I clicked “OK,” I was 42 by a welcoming community filled with good intentions. It felt like stepping into a local neighborhood where everyone was 43 to lend a hand. Isn’t it refreshing to know you can 44 with people who share similar values about sustainability? I still remember the first exchange: the vases gathering 45 in my cupboard. After 46 them, my phone lit up with a message from a young woman whose words burst with 47 : “These are perfect for my first apartment.” When we met, her grateful embrace lasted longer than our 48 itself. In that moment, I understood these groups aren’t just about 49 items; they’re about passing on 50 and helping someone start a new chapter. The pleasure of knowing my small act could have such a positive influence was 51 . The practice reshaped my world. With every 52 , I followed the invisible journey of objects — how potential waste like forgotten guitars and mugs quietly transformed into others’ treasures. This economy of sharing 53 the landfill, revealing how little we need to 54 when trust flows freely among open hands. Perhaps true ownership begins only when we learn to let things go — their 55 leaving space for whispered secrets between neighbors who might not have met before. 41.

In this country, most people believe that the animals around us are their lost loved ones, so animals are given free rein (缰绳) to do whatever they want. I moved to Bhutan from another teaching job in Tanzania. A few dogs spent every day hanging out at my school. One of them was a little guy with a head too big for his body, really winning my heart. He was a cute guy with an open face and a constantly dangling tongue. His fur was patchy in spots, but he seemed otherwise healthy. As I settled into life in Bhutan, I had trouble making friends. Sure, I was close with all the other teachers, but most of them were older and had families. Because of the language barrier and my own shyness, it was hard to go out and meet new people. Our town in Bhutan was very small, just two main roads filled with mostly restaurants, karaoke bars and snooker (斯诺克) halls. Usually, I went to town for shopping, but because of my limited language skills, I didn’t often go to those “hang-out” kinds of places. Therefore, I spent most of my time working. I really focused on my lessons, making them as perfect as possible. Every day, the little dog wandered into my office and sat quietly in the corner. Most of the other teachers would shoo (轰走) him out of the office with a loud “Hi-ya!”, and the little guy would bow his oversized head and run away. I didn’t shoo him away, though. Whenever he wandered into my room, I’d just ignore him. He’d walk between the desks for a while before settling under a teacher’s desk at the back of the room. He wouldn’t sleep or do anything else, just watch me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over time, the dog started following me, becoming a regular part of my day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the dog led me to the town one day, my lonely days here began to end. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
