Not to chat or pass time, but to learn. They held pencils awkwardly, tracing letters on lined paper, their eyes wide with focus. The unusual classroom was led by 48-year-old Beena Kalathiya, who smiled gently, offering quiet words of encouragement to her students — most of them older than herself. Beena’s journey into education didn’t begin in a university or a training institute. It began in the heart of her home. Like many women in India, she spent years juggling chores, raising children, and putting her family first. But when her children grew up and moved on, something shifted. With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, “Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind. ” Determined to change that narrative, Beena started small. Her first classroom was the street itself, lit only by a single streetlight. A few curious women joined her, hesitant at first, but warmed by Beena’s patience and kindness. Slowly, letters turned into words, and words into sentences. Nine years later, what began under a streetlight has blossomed into a full classroom at a local senior citizens’ centre. With no large Non-Governmental Organization backing her and no sponsorship banners (横幅) in sight, Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk. But Beena is giving her students much more than literacy. She is giving them dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that knowledge can be acquired at any stage of life. 4. How does the author begin the story? A. By describing a traditional classroom. B. By introducing the background. C. By representing an impressive scene. D. By exposing the poor conditions. 5. What problem did Beena realize? A. Indian women are often unfairly treated. B. Indian education is in a desperate situation. C. Educational resources are limited in villages. D. Education for the Indian old has been ignored. 6. Which of the following can best describe Beena? A. Ambitious and grateful. B. Selfless and committed. C. Creative and confident. D. Responsible and strict. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Never too late to begin again. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Natural talent guarantees one’s success. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了48岁的 Beena Kalathiya 免费教村里的老人识字的故事并赞扬了她无私的精神。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Once upon a time in Surat, under the soft glow of a streetlight, a few women sat cross-legged on the ground. Not to chat or pass time, but to learn.(从前，在苏拉特，一盏路灯柔和的光线下，几位妇女坐在地上，双腿交叉。她们不是为了聊天或消磨时间，而是为了学习)”可知，作者主要是通过展现几个妇女在路灯下认真学习写字的场景展开叙事的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, “Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind.”(她闲暇时间充裕，心怀使命感，于是投身于志愿工作，决定填补社会长久以来遗忘的空白。她表示：“我们许多长辈从来没有机会上学。如今世界变化如此之快，他们常常感到被抛在了后面。”)”可知，Beena决定填补社会长期忽视的空白。她认为许多长辈从来没有机会上学。现在世界变化如此之快，他们经常感到被遗忘了。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten.(有了充裕的时间和充满目标的头脑，她转向志愿服务，并决定填补社会长久以来遗忘的空白)”以及第四段中“With no large Non-Governmental Organization backing her and no sponsorship banners (横幅) in sight, Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk.(没有大型非政府组织的支持，也没有任何赞助横幅，贝娜自己出资办学。白天，她和姐妹们一起经营一家小生意，所有收入都直接用于购买笔记本、铅笔和粉笔)”可知，Beena做的是志愿服务，并且她自己资助学校，因此她是无私且对自己的事业尽心尽力的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了48岁的 Beena免费教村里的老人识字的故事。在最后一段结尾处“The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that knowledge can be acquired at any stage of life.(每天下午，贝娜教室里充满的好奇心和笑声，证明了知识可以在人生的任何阶段获得)”作者点出学习永远不会太晚，因此“重新开始永远不会太晚”符合故事给我们带来的启示。 C The message is repeatedly told to us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you because it’s the only way to heal. Forgiving someone can indeed be beautiful, but if the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most agree forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger and hatred towards them, expecting to put it all behind us as if nothing happened. Yet this pressure to “move on” can make us feel our experiences don’t matter, or, at least, that they matter less than the situation being smoothed over. This isn’t helpful. While it’s not a good idea to focus on negative thoughts, recognizing and processing all of that pain is an important part of the healing journey. Forgiving those who don’t make us feel safe chips away at our dignity. A 2010 study called this the “doormat effect”: forgiving partners who don’t value us reduces self-respect, along with a decreased sense of self. The same applies to forgiving those who refuse to make changes, probably because the victims feel they fail to stand up for themselves, like they’ve let themselves be walked over, as the author puts it. Things can get worse if we keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong. A 2011 study looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of offence(冒犯), and whether this caused any changes in the offenders’ behaviour. It turned out that when a partner forgave those acts, the offender was more likely to keep doing them probably because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being forgiven can be a kind of pass to avoid making changes. This reveals the tension in always forgiving: it burdens victims to resolve issues, not offenders. What if, instead of looking to forgiveness like a cure-all, we accept a situation for what it is without any sense of obligation towards our offender? This way, healing will still be a process, but it’s one centred around us and our own needs. 8. What do most people believe about forgiveness? A. It offers a quick solution to all emotional conflicts. B. It always strengthens the relationship between people. C. It means forgetting unpleasant things happening in the past. D. It depends on the wrongdoer making meaningful changes first. 9. What does the underline phrase “chips away at” in the paragraph 3 mean? A. gradually weakens B. accidentally destroys C. carefully repairs D. intentionally ignores 10. What does the “doormat effect” in paragraph 3 explain? A. Victims forgiving a wrongdoer increases their motivation to change. B. Forgiveness plays a major role in healthy communication. C. Forgiveness reflects the offender’s failure to insist on their boundaries. D. Unconditional forgiveness may have a negative impact on the victim. 11. What alternative approach does the author suggest for healing? A. Cutting off all contact with offenders. B. Pretending the offense never occurred. C. Forcing offenders to admit their mistakes. D. Prioritizing one’s own needs and well-being. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章论证了无条件宽恕的危害，并提出以自我需求为中心的替代疗愈方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most agree forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger and hatred towards them, expecting to put it all behind us as if nothing happened. (多数人认为，原谅犯错者意味着放下愤怒、怨恨等负面情绪，当作一切从未发生，将过往抛之脑后。)”可知，多数人认为原谅意味着淡忘过往不愉快的事。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“A 2010 study called this the “doormat effect”: forgiving partners who don’t value us reduces self-respect, along with a decreased sense of self.(2010年一项研究将此称作“门垫效应”：原谅不珍惜自己的伴侣，会不断消磨自尊、削弱自我认同感。)”可知，原谅无法带来安全感的人，会渐渐损耗我们的尊严。由此可知，chips away at意为“逐渐削弱”。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A 2010 study called this the “doormat effect”: forgiving partners who don’t value us reduces self-respect, along with a decreased sense of self.( 2010年一项研究将此称作“门垫效应”：原谅不珍惜自己的伴侣，会不断消磨自尊、削弱自我认同感。)”可知，该效应解释了无条件原谅会对受害者产生消极影响。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This way, healing will still be a process, but it’s one centred around us and our own needs.(治愈依旧会循序渐进，但这份治愈将以自身需求与感受为核心。)”可知，作者建议采用先顾及自身需求与身心健康的替代性方式来抚平伤痛。 D Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract, the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor”. This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 12. What did the researcher do before introducing the song to the chingolos? A. They recorded new songs from adult chingolos. B. They created an artificial version of the lost song. C. They taught the birds to respond to three devices. D. They studied the songs of different bird populations. 13. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 14. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Cultural Side of Bird Songs B. How Technology Recreates Lost Bird Songs C. Bringing a Lost Bird Song Back to Life D. How Chingolos Pass Their Songs Down 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍科研人员利用机器人导师，成功让南美一种小鸟重新学会消失半个多世纪的鸟鸣，保护鸟类文化多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract, the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song.(该团队利用基于鸟类声道的物理建模，首先制作出这首失传鸣唱的精准人工版本。)”可知，在把歌曲展示给chingolos鸟之前，研究人员制作了这首失传鸟鸣的人工版本。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned. It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.”(这是一种独特的鸣唱——如同指纹一般，但却是后天习得的。它用来吸引雌鸟、保卫领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我，我就在这里”的方式。)”可知，这种鸟鸣充当它们的社会身份。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.(播放过程中设置随机停顿，让鸟儿把三台设备的播放声当成真实交流，仿佛设备之间在互相回应。这激发鸟儿做出鸣叫回应。)”可知，随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿产生互动。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.(来自布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员已经利用机器人导师，成功教会雄性 chingolo（南美洲的一种小鸟）一种鸣唱。该鸣唱曾是这一物种文化的一部分，但已经消失超过半个世纪。)”可知，文章主要讲述让失传鸟鸣重现的研究，“Bringing a Lost Bird Song Back to Life(让消失的鸟鸣重获生机)”最适合作为标题。 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读短文内容, 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。 Life is inevitably accompanied by various forms of adversity, including academic setbacks, interpersonal conflicts and unexpected failures. ____16____ As a matter of fact, adversity rarely destroys us completely.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings. On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Nate在图书馆看到“第一届高地绘画比赛”的通知后，原本觉得小镇平淡无奇的他，在同学Briana的启发下，开始重新发现小镇的独特之美，并决定参加比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到启发的Nate建议他们去他爷爷的农场看看”可知，第一段可描写Nate和Briana在爷爷农场里的所见所感，以及Nate决定画农场参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼那天，图书馆里挤满了人”可知，第二段可描写Nate的画获奖，以及他的获奖感言，表达他对小镇美丽的新认识。 2.续写线索：参观农场——发现农场之美——决定画农场参加比赛——颁奖典礼——Nate获奖——发表获奖感言——重新认识小镇之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出发：set off/depart/leave for ②到达：arrived/get to/reach ③走上舞台：step onto the stage/walk onto the stage/go up on the stage 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/anxiously/with tension ②怀疑：disbelief/doubt/skepticism 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time.（运用了现在分词作状语以及as if引导表语从句） 【高分句型2】As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西大学附中 2026～2027学年高二第一学期10月（总第二次）模块诊断 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 第一节 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．What does the man think of Mary?

B Once upon a time in Surat, under the soft glow of a streetlight, a few women sat cross-legged on the ground. Not to chat or pass time, but to learn. They held pencils awkwardly, tracing letters on lined paper, their eyes wide with focus. The unusual classroom was led by 48-year-old Beena Kalathiya, who smiled gently, offering quiet words of encouragement to her students — most of them older than herself. Beena’s journey into education didn’t begin in a university or a training institute. It began in the heart of her home. Like many women in India, she spent years juggling chores, raising children, and putting her family first. But when her children grew up and moved on, something shifted. With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, “Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind. ” Determined to change that narrative, Beena started small. Her first classroom was the street itself, lit only by a single streetlight. A few curious women joined her, hesitant at first, but warmed by Beena’s patience and kindness. Slowly, letters turned into words, and words into sentences. Nine years later, what began under a streetlight has blossomed into a full classroom at a local senior citizens’ centre. With no large Non-Governmental Organization backing her and no sponsorship banners (横幅) in sight, Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk. But Beena is giving her students much more than literacy. She is giving them dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that knowledge can be acquired at any stage of life. 4. How does the author begin the story? A. By describing a traditional classroom. B. By introducing the background. C. By representing an impressive scene. D. By exposing the poor conditions. 5. What problem did Beena realize? A. Indian women are often unfairly treated. B. Indian education is in a desperate situation. C. Educational resources are limited in villages. D. Education for the Indian old has been ignored. 6. Which of the following can best describe Beena? A. Ambitious and grateful. B. Selfless and committed. C. Creative and confident. D. Responsible and strict. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Never too late to begin again. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Natural talent guarantees one’s success. C The message is repeatedly told to us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you because it’s the only way to heal. Forgiving someone can indeed be beautiful, but if the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most agree forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger and hatred towards them, expecting to put it all behind us as if nothing happened. Yet this pressure to “move on” can make us feel our experiences don’t matter, or, at least, that they matter less than the situation being smoothed over. This isn’t helpful. While it’s not a good idea to focus on negative thoughts, recognizing and processing all of that pain is an important part of the healing journey. Forgiving those who don’t make us feel safe chips away at our dignity. A 2010 study called this the “doormat effect”: forgiving partners who don’t value us reduces self-respect, along with a decreased sense of self. The same applies to forgiving those who refuse to make changes, probably because the victims feel they fail to stand up for themselves, like they’ve let themselves be walked over, as the author puts it. Things can get worse if we keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong. A 2011 study looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of offence(冒犯), and whether this caused any changes in the offenders’ behaviour. It turned out that when a partner forgave those acts, the offender was more likely to keep doing them probably because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being forgiven can be a kind of pass to avoid making changes. This reveals the tension in always forgiving: it burdens victims to resolve issues, not offenders. What if, instead of looking to forgiveness like a cure-all, we accept a situation for what it is without any sense of obligation towards our offender? This way, healing will still be a process, but it’s one centred around us and our own needs. 8. What do most people believe about forgiveness? A. It offers a quick solution to all emotional conflicts. B. It always strengthens the relationship between people. C. It means forgetting unpleasant things happening in the past. D. It depends on the wrongdoer making meaningful changes first. 9. What does the underline phrase “chips away at” in the paragraph 3 mean? A. gradually weakens B. accidentally destroys C. carefully repairs D. intentionally ignores 10. What does the “doormat effect” in paragraph 3 explain? A. Victims forgiving a wrongdoer increases their motivation to change. B. Forgiveness plays a major role in healthy communication. C. Forgiveness reflects the offender’s failure to insist on their boundaries. D. Unconditional forgiveness may have a negative impact on the victim. 11. What alternative approach does the author suggest for healing? A. Cutting off all contact with offenders. B. Pretending the offense never occurred. C. Forcing offenders to admit their mistakes. D. Prioritizing one’s own needs and well-being. D Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract, the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor”. This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 12. What did the researcher do before introducing the song to the chingolos? A. They recorded new songs from adult chingolos. B. They created an artificial version of the lost song. C. They taught the birds to respond to three devices. D. They studied the songs of different bird populations. 13. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 14. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Cultural Side of Bird Songs B. How Technology Recreates Lost Bird Songs C. Bringing a Lost Bird Song Back to Life D. How Chingolos Pass Their Songs Down 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读短文内容, 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。 Life is inevitably accompanied by various forms of adversity, including academic setbacks, interpersonal conflicts and unexpected failures. ____16____ As a matter of fact, adversity rarely destroys us completely.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
