Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. Their destination was Elkhead, Colorado, a wild area near Estes Park that was a two-day ride away from the nearest train station. The difference between their original lifestyles and their new surroundings was clear. The local children wore shoes fixed together with string and relied on lamps for light. The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove (火炉), which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. The two women were not discouraged by the hard conditions. They lived with local families, learned to cook simple food, rode horses to get daily supplies, and got used to a slower life unlike any they had known. In the one-room schoolhouse, they taught reading, writing, math, music and art. At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. But soon, their shyness disappeared, and they became warm and grateful to their hard-working teachers, who helped them learn new things every day. After two years of hard teaching, Dorothy and Rosamond had to go back home. To show their deep thanks, the local people gave them a hand-made wooden chair. This beautiful gift is still a symbol of their good work. The letters they wrote home clearly described the difficulties, successes and special beauty of life in the Rockies. Later, these letters were published in magazines. Their stories interested people all over the country and encouraged many young people to become teachers in the countryside. In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness. It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status (地位). Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. 4. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. B. To visit their relatives living in the area. C. To take up a job in a countryside school. D. To carry out research on local wildlife. 5. What can we learn about the schoolhouse in Elkhead? A. It was a wooden house without basic modern facilities. B. It was a large building with several classrooms. C. It was fully provided with modern heating systems. D. It was located in a busy city close to public transport. 6. How did the local children respond to the two teachers at first? A. They took little interest in them. B. They felt much anger towards them. C. They showed great gratitude to them. D. They were too shy to speak to them. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Wealthy people have a duty to help the poor. B. True virtue is expressed by selfless service to others. C. Education is the key to changing children’s lives. D. The countryside is badly in need of teachers from cities. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了来自纽约奥本富裕家庭的两位年轻女性多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德，放弃舒适生活，前往落基山脉偏远乡村支教的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. (最好的朋友多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德都是史密斯学院的毕业生，她们选择离开舒适的家，前往落基山脉一个偏远的村庄教书。)”可知，二人去往落基山脉是为了在乡村学校担任教师工作。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove, which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. (校舍本身是一间木制的小屋。只靠一个旧火炉取暖，几乎无法驱散冬天的寒冷。那里没有自来水，没有电，也没有现代化的工具来让她们的生活更轻松。)”可知，埃尔克黑德的校舍是一间木屋，没有基本的现代设施。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. (起初，孩子们很害羞，不敢说话。)”可知，当地孩子一开始太过害羞，不敢和这两位老师交流。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness.It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status.Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. (最终，多萝西和罗莎蒙德的故事告诉我们一个关于勇气和无私的重要真理。它告诉我们，真正的伟大不在于拥有舒适的生活或崇高的社会地位。相反，它源于帮助他人、勇敢面对困难、将知识带到世界上最偏远地方的勇气。)”可知，这个故事告诉我们，真正的美德体现在无私地服务他人、奉献他人。 C Culture clash means the tensions and conflicts caused by different working habits, communication styles, and ways of thinking inside a company. This often happens between employees of different generations, separate departments, or people from various cultural backgrounds. With the rapid growth of remote work and the wide use of AI technology, workplaces have become more complex. This leads to more frequent misunderstandings and frictions among colleagues. There are three main factors that cause such conflicts. First, employees at different career stages often have different ideas about company development and management. For example, young workers may want quick changes, while senior staff may prefer stability. Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs. Second, cross-cultural differences can easily cause misunderstandings when companies do business internationally. What is polite in one culture may be rude in another. Third, company mergers often lead to clear culture clashes because the two companies usually have very different values and rules. Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence. Respecting cultural differences and valuing the strengths of each group are very necessary. Clear and regular communication helps build trust and understanding. Providing professional cross-cultural training can also improve cooperation and cut down on unnecessary conflicts. If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market. 8. What is the text mainly about? A. Keys to managing cross-cultural conflicts. B. Reasons for global market success. C. Ways to reduce employee stress. D. Causes and solutions to culture clash. 9. According to the text, why might talented employees choose to leave their jobs? A. They are unwilling to accept different working styles. B. They prefer working in companies with different rules. C. They find it hard to agree with the company’s culture. D. They are dissatisfied with their salary and benefits. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about culture clash? A. It can be a driving force for company growth. B. It has little impact on a company’s development. C. It is the main cause of employee turnover. D. It should be possibly avoided in global business. 11. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Young employees are more likely to keep stable development of the company. B. A behaviour considered polite in one culture may be offensive in another. C. Cross-cultural training can totally wipe out conflicts between colleagues. D. Culture clash seldom takes place among staff from different departments. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍职场文化冲突的含义、三大成因，同时介绍降低其不良影响的办法以及妥善处理后的积极作用。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“There are three main factors that cause such conflicts.(造成这类冲突主要有三个因素。)”以及第三段中的 “Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence.(虽然文化冲突在现代企业中难以避免，但可以使用有效的方法降低它的不良影响。)”可知，文章主要讲述文化冲突的原因与解决办法。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs.(对于企业文化的分歧，常常迫使许多有才能的员工离职。)”可知，员工离职是因为难以认同公司文化。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market.(如果处理得当，文化冲突不会损害组织。相反，它有助于营造更加积极活跃的工作环境，增强团队精神与协作，进一步提升公司在全球市场的整体竞争力。)”可知，文化冲突可以成为企业发展的推动力。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What is polite in one culture may be rude in another.(在一种文化里礼貌的行为，在另一种文化中可能是无礼的。)”可知，一种文化中被认为礼貌的行为在另一种文化里可能会冒犯他人。 D Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today? “The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated (支持) the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled (推动) battery-electric cars well into the lead. A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. “Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空) . Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fueling time or heavy loads. The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt (中断) access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. 12. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today? A. Lack of public awareness. B. High costs and the lack of infrastructure. C. Limited research and development. D. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel. 13. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Disappointed. D. Indifferent. 14. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage? A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles. B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fueling time. C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics. D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars? C. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fueling Station? D. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了氢燃料汽车，讲述了氢燃料汽车面临的前景及挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. (要大规模转向氢燃料汽车，需要削减成本并大力开展基础设施建设。美国能源部替代燃料数据中心的数据显示，目前美国仅有55个公共氢燃料加注站，且几乎全部位于加利福尼亚州；而全国范围内则有超过68,000个活跃的公共电动汽车充电站)”可知，氢燃料汽车在今天的美国道路上并不常见是因为成本高，且基础设施不足。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev.(Paltsev说：“明年，甚至未来五年内，情况可能都不会发生改变，但氢燃料汽车的发展前景更为广阔。”)”可知，Paltsev夫对未来氢燃料汽车的态度是乐观，充满希望的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt (中断) access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.(Paltsev提醒道：“未来我们可能因多种原因而需要这项技术。”他提到，地缘政治问题可能会影响电池原材料的供应，从而使氢燃料汽车突然变得更具经济可行性)”可知，关于氢燃料电池，会由于地缘政治问题而变得更加经济可行。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today?(那么，为何如今在美国道路上几乎看不到氢燃料汽车的身影呢？)”及最后一段““We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt (中断) access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.(Paltsev提醒道：“未来我们可能因多种原因而需要这项技术。”他提到，地缘政治问题可能会影响电池原材料的供应，从而使氢燃料汽车突然变得更具经济可行性)”可知，文章开篇提出问题“为什么美国的道路上几乎没有氢燃料汽车”，暗示氢燃料汽车在美国，面临挑战；文末却指出虽然地缘政治问题可能会使氢燃料汽车突然变得更加经济可行。由此可知文章主要论述了氢燃料汽车面临的挑战及光明的前景，因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising(氢燃料汽车：困境中仍蕴藏希望)”。故选D。 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。 So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. ___16___ Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. ___17___ Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. ___18___ What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. ___19___ You have to work hard, push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in. Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success. A. Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control. B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish C. Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness. D. Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness. E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness. F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent. G. They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就怎样才能成为伟大的人发表自己观点，即充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力，从而找到一个合理的成功水平。 【16题详解】 由上文“So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the ‘10 years, 10,000 hours’ notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time.(那么，怎样才能成为伟大的人呢？我坚决反对‘10年，10000小时’的观点，即只要投入足够的时间，任何人都可以成为专家。)”可知，作者这里否定只要时间足够就能成为专家，而F项The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.(事实上，基因很重要，无论是天生的智力还是天生的身体天赋。)符合语境，即提出自己的观点——基因决定能否成为伟人，且The reality 与下文Another reality 对应，有启下作用。故选F项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. (另一个现实是，你无法控制你的基因。如果你得到了父母的好基因，感谢他们。如果你没有，不要责怪你的父母，因为他们也没有选择自己的基因。)”可知，这里讲你无法控制你的基因，而A项Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.(相反，不必追究它，专注于你能控制的事情。)符合语境，其中Instead与上文形成转折，can control也与上文 can’t control形成对比。故选A项。 【18题详解】 由下文“What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. (这意味着你需要天生的能力才能变得伟大，但这还不够。)”可知，这里讲天生的能力也并不足够让你变得伟大，而D项Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.(天生的能力是伟大的必要因素，但还不够。)符合语境，其中Inborn ability与上下文对应，下句也对本句进行了解释说明，所以本句有启下作用。故选D项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. (天赋只是伟大的起点，如果你足够幸运地赢得了基因彩票，它会让你在比赛一开始就处于领先地位。) ”可知，这里主要讲天赋只是让你起点领先，但不保证终点能领先。而B项But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish(但是，当然，比赛不是在开始时获胜，而是在结束时获胜)符合语境，其中at the start与上文at the beginning of对应，at the finish与下文get to the finish 对应，所以本句有承上启下作用。故选B项。 【20题详解】 由下文“I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.(我将其定义为充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力。这种与生俱来的能力可能不足以成为你成就领域的超级明星，但如果你做了必要的事情，你会找到一个合理的成功水平。)”可知，这里主要讲充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力来实现适合你自己的伟大，而C项Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.(相反，你的目标应该是找到自己的个人伟大之处。)符合语境，其中 your own personal greatness为下文 that的指代内容，所以本句有启下作用。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish.

Equipped 39. relatives 40. a 41. countless 42. to care 43. visited 44. in 45. was created 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍著名生物学家、环保人士简·古道尔的生平、科研成就以及她来华开展交流活动的相关情况。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：她因在坦桑尼亚对黑猩猩开展开创性研究而闻名，这项研究极大地加深了我们对灵长类动物以及人类进化的理解。此处修饰动词advanced，副词修饰动词，significant是形容词，其副词形式为significantly，意为“极大地”。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：1960年7月，26岁的简·古道尔从英国前往非洲坦桑尼亚，在那里她踏入了鲜为人知的野生黑猩猩世界。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Tanzania，表地点，从句中缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：简只带着一个笔记本和对野生动物的热爱，探索未知，为世人打开一扇了解人类现存近亲的独特窗口。此处为非谓语动词作状语，equip与逻辑主语Jane之间是被动关系，此处用过去分词equipped作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：简只带着一个笔记本和对野生动物的热爱，探索未知，为世人打开一扇了解人类现存近亲的独特窗口。relative是可数名词，此处表示泛指，人类的近亲不止一种，所以用复数形式relatives。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：除科研贡献外，简·古道尔也是一名热衷于环境保护和动物福利的倡导者。advocate为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一名热情的倡导者”，为泛指，且passionate是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：通过大量书籍、讲座和纪录片，她激励了全世界无数人关注自然界并采取行动保护它。此处修饰名词people，需要形容词，count是动词，其形容词形式countless意为“无数的”。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过大量书籍、讲座和纪录片，她激励了全世界无数人关注自然界并采取行动保护它。固定搭配inspire sb. to do sth.意为“激励某人做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to care作宾补。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：简·古道尔于2024年11月30日至12月4日第17次访问中国。此处为谓语动词，时间状语from November 30th to December 4th, 2024为过去时间，要用一般过去时，visit的过去式为visited。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：她参与了科教访谈节目《北辰对话》的录制。此处为固定搭配participate in，意为参加，所以此处为介词in。 【45题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：该节目由央视频与中国科技馆打造。此空为定语从句的谓语动词，which指代节目“Beichen Dialogue”，create和先行词之间是被动关系，节目制作发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，先行词为单数，be动词用was。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom对中国著名科学家很感兴趣，请你给他写一封邮件，向他介绍袁隆平院士 (academician) ——“杂交水稻之父”(father of hybrid rice)。 内容要点： 1．个人简要介绍； 2．主要事迹和贡献； 3．对你的影响。 注意：1．词数100左右；2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Tom, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, Hearing that you are keen on famous Chinese scientists, I’m writing to introduce Academician Yuan Longping, known as the father of hybrid rice.

We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm. My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising. I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt. On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill. Paragraph 1: Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt?” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt. Paragraph 2: On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonful of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为单身母亲的作者，有一个八岁的儿子。有一周，天气骤降，油价上涨，作者和儿子生活拮据，作者想尽办法降低消费，而儿子却想要喝一种作者看来是浪费钱的酸奶。看着儿子渴望的眼神，作者改变了计划给他买了酸奶。但是在回家路上，作者发现路边有一位更加需要帮助的老人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“儿子看到这一幕，既困惑又惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写儿子感到困惑后会问作者，为什么自己很困难还要帮助别人，以及作者是如何回答孩子的。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天，我儿子做了一件大多数成年人都不会做的事。”可知，第二段可描写受妈妈的启发，孩子也帮助了别人。 2.续写线索：经济拮据——降低开支——孩子要酸奶——妈妈不情愿地买酸奶——妈妈帮助穷人——孩子帮助穷人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 看见：see/notice/observe/watch/spot ②. 给予：spare/share/hand out 情绪类 ①.慷慨：generous/kind ②.吝啬：mean/chary 【点睛】[高分句型1]We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. （even if引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型2]He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. （that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026—2027（上）9月月考试题 高二英语 （考试时间120分钟，满分150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级填写在答题卡上，贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

B In 1916, two young women from rich families in Auburn, New York, started an amazing journey far from their comfortable lives. Best friends Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood, both graduates of Smith College, chose to leave the comfort of their homes to teach in a faraway village in the Rocky Mountains. Their destination was Elkhead, Colorado, a wild area near Estes Park that was a two-day ride away from the nearest train station. The difference between their original lifestyles and their new surroundings was clear. The local children wore shoes fixed together with string and relied on lamps for light. The schoolhouse itself was a small house made of wood. It was only heated by an old stove (火炉), which could hardly drive away the winter cold. There was no running water, no electricity, and no modern tools to make their life easier. The two women were not discouraged by the hard conditions. They lived with local families, learned to cook simple food, rode horses to get daily supplies, and got used to a slower life unlike any they had known. In the one-room schoolhouse, they taught reading, writing, math, music and art. At first, the children were shy and afraid to talk. But soon, their shyness disappeared, and they became warm and grateful to their hard-working teachers, who helped them learn new things every day. After two years of hard teaching, Dorothy and Rosamond had to go back home. To show their deep thanks, the local people gave them a hand-made wooden chair. This beautiful gift is still a symbol of their good work. The letters they wrote home clearly described the difficulties, successes and special beauty of life in the Rockies. Later, these letters were published in magazines. Their stories interested people all over the country and encouraged many young people to become teachers in the countryside. In the end, Dorothy and Rosamond’s story tells us an important truth about courage and selflessness. It teaches us that true greatness is not about having a comfortable life or high social status (地位). Instead, it comes from the courage to help others, face difficulties bravely, and bring knowledge to even the farthest places in the world. 4. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? A. To enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. B. To visit their relatives living in the area. C. To take up a job in a countryside school. D. To carry out research on local wildlife. 5. What can we learn about the schoolhouse in Elkhead? A. It was a wooden house without basic modern facilities. B. It was a large building with several classrooms. C. It was fully provided with modern heating systems. D. It was located in a busy city close to public transport. 6. How did the local children respond to the two teachers at first? A. They took little interest in them. B. They felt much anger towards them. C. They showed great gratitude to them. D. They were too shy to speak to them. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Wealthy people have a duty to help the poor. B. True virtue is expressed by selfless service to others. C. Education is the key to changing children’s lives. D. The countryside is badly in need of teachers from cities. C Culture clash means the tensions and conflicts caused by different working habits, communication styles, and ways of thinking inside a company. This often happens between employees of different generations, separate departments, or people from various cultural backgrounds. With the rapid growth of remote work and the wide use of AI technology, workplaces have become more complex. This leads to more frequent misunderstandings and frictions among colleagues. There are three main factors that cause such conflicts. First, employees at different career stages often have different ideas about company development and management. For example, young workers may want quick changes, while senior staff may prefer stability. Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs. Second, cross-cultural differences can easily cause misunderstandings when companies do business internationally. What is polite in one culture may be rude in another. Third, company mergers often lead to clear culture clashes because the two companies usually have very different values and rules. Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence. Respecting cultural differences and valuing the strengths of each group are very necessary. Clear and regular communication helps build trust and understanding. Providing professional cross-cultural training can also improve cooperation and cut down on unnecessary conflicts. If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market. 8. What is the text mainly about? A. Keys to managing cross-cultural conflicts. B. Reasons for global market success. C. Ways to reduce employee stress. D. Causes and solutions to culture clash. 9. According to the text, why might talented employees choose to leave their jobs? A. They are unwilling to accept different working styles. B. They prefer working in companies with different rules. C. They find it hard to agree with the company’s culture. D. They are dissatisfied with their salary and benefits. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about culture clash? A. It can be a driving force for company growth. B. It has little impact on a company’s development. C. It is the main cause of employee turnover. D. It should be possibly avoided in global business. 11. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Young employees are more likely to keep stable development of the company. B. A behaviour considered polite in one culture may be offensive in another. C. Cross-cultural training can totally wipe out conflicts between colleagues. D. Culture clash seldom takes place among staff from different departments. D Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today? “The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated (支持) the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled (推动) battery-electric cars well into the lead. A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. “Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空) . Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fueling time or heavy loads. The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt (中断) access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. 12. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today? A. Lack of public awareness. B. High costs and the lack of infrastructure. C. Limited research and development. D.

I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. ___16___ Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. ___17___ Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. ___18___ What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. ___19___ You have to work hard, push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in. Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success. A. Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control. B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish C. Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness. D. Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness. E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness. F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent. G. They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish.

The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm. My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising. I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt. On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill. Paragraph 1: Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
