A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了新加坡国际生的五种高中升学路径，分别说明各类学校的核心特点与适配学生群体，帮助学生和家庭依据自身情况做出合适的求学选择。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“High school is a critical turning point for international students in Singapore, as it is the key stage where students move beyond general education and begin preparing for specialized academic pathways and future careers. (高中对于在新加坡的国际学生而言是关键转折点，这一阶段学生从通识教育迈向专业学习方向，并开始为未来职业做准备)”可知，高中对新加坡的国际学生之所以重要，是因为它能为学生的专业学习和未来的职业规划做准备。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格SAP Schools一栏“Dual-language competence (English and Chinese); strong academic traditions (中英双语能力；深厚的学术传统)”以及“Students interested in bilingual learning (对双语学习感兴趣的学生)”可知，SAP学校最适合想要进行中英双语学习的学生。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Above all, the best option depends on the student’s personal strengths and goals, including the type of learning experience they’re looking for. (最重要的是，最佳选择取决于学生个人优势与目标，包括他们想要的学习体验类型)”可知，选择升学路径最重要的是学生自身的优势和目标。 B Whenever I complained that I was bored, my mother would not hand me a phone or switch on the television. Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms. She would sit on the edge of my bed, describing each in a few words. My mother used books as a form of communication. It wasn’t simply the exchange I’ve just described — her giving me books she’d read and loved as a child, and hoping I would love them too — but the words in the books themselves. If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. My mother’s gift for noticing small moments reflected an important quality: she deeply valued sensory details. She was always pointing them out to me, like young ducks, the fluff (绒毛) all over their bodies pale yellow, as though they wore bath towels. I didn’t realise it then, but those moments were quietly shaping the way I would later understand the world. Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. When talking about the Harry Potter series, I ask my students to consider whether it’s the lists of richly imagined foods, the all-flavour jellybeans and the butter beer that are the books’ real attraction. Only now do I realise how much of my mother I carry with me. What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world. Borrowing lines from the books to describe our own lives, we’re adding depth to what we’ve seen or felt or heard. 4. What did the mother use to relieve the writer’s boredom? A. Television. B. Phones. C. Books. D. Food. 5. Why did the mother quote “the immaculate sigh of stars”? A. To vividly describe a small moment. B. To briefly explain a bridge structure. C. To express her love for the universe. D. To talk about her most beloved poet. 6. What does the writer emphasize in her teaching? A. Challenging literary classics. B. Paying mindful attention to details. C. Quoting the Harry Potter series. D. Developing creative imagination. 7. What does the writer learn from her mother? A. Poetic writing techniques. B. Vital communication skills. C. A method of self-reflection. D. A habit of close observation. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的母亲从小用书籍与作者交流，引导作者关注生活中的感官细节，而这些经历深刻地影响了作者，使作者成为文学教师后也将这种细致观察世界的习惯传递给了自己的学生。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I complained that I was bored, my mother would not hand me a phone or switch on the television. Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms.(每当我抱怨无聊时，我妈妈不会递给我手机或打开电视。相反，她会从一个书架走到另一个书架，抱回一些书。)”可知，妈妈用书籍来缓解作者的无聊。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. (如果我们在夜晚开车驶向Gladesville大桥，车灯如流水般倾泻而下，她会引用她最喜欢的诗人的话，将桥上的车灯描述为“星星完美的叹息”。对她来说，书籍赋予了她所注意到的一切以声音。)”可知，母亲引用她最喜欢的诗人的话，将桥上的车灯描述为“星星完美的叹息”，对母亲来说，书籍赋予了她所注意到的一切以声音，可推理出妈妈引用这句话是为了用诗意而生动的方式描述车灯在桥上流动的那一瞬间，即生动地描绘一个微小的瞬间。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. (现在作为一名文学教师，我也重视感官细节。我经常发现自己在鼓励学生去关注它们，就像我妈妈曾经鼓励我一样。)”可知，作者在教学中强调的是让学生用心关注细节。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world.(留在我心中的不是她选择的书名或她引用的话，而是仔细观察世界的习惯。)”可知，作者从母亲那里学到的是一种仔细观察的习惯。 C Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this means many new features: automatic braking (刹车), turn-by-turn directions, and entertainment systems. But carmakers are getting much more. They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have and even financial information. But who owns and, finally, controls that data? And what are carmakers doing with it? The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea that vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’ve come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation. What carmakers are doing with the collected data isn’t clear. We know they use it to improve car performance and safety and that they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share it with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out feature for your car. Carmakers use data to warn us when something needs repair or when our cars need to be taken in for service. For almost a century, car owners have been able to take their vehicles to whichever shop they trust for maintenance and repair. That may be changing. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have an advantage in price and convenience. It is clear that because of its value — as high as 750 billion dollars by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the chance to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people who want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their cars. 8. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By expressing ideas. B. By giving examples. C. By exploring reasons. D. By making comparisons. 9. What does the underlined part “opt-out feature” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A useful tool. B. A special part. C. A function to stop something. D. A way to start something. 10. What might happen if carmakers control users’ data? A. More repair shops will appear. B. Carmakers will offer more repair shops. C. Users will spend more on car maintenance. D. Independent repair shops will earn higher profits. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vehicle data control? A. Policies may help drivers gain control of their data. B. Car owners will release control over their vehicle data. C. Drivers should realize the value of their personal data. D. Carmakers may share vehicle data with drivers in no way. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要讨论了汽车制造商收集的车辆数据及其所有权和控制权问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea that vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’ve come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation.(所有权问题尚不明确。司机通常会签署放弃数据权利的文件。这与购买智能手机的情况不无相似。区别在于，大多数顾客并不知道车辆会收集数据。我们知道智能手机会收集数据，并且我们已经接受用个人信息换取便利的事实。但对于汽车，我们并没有这样的预期。)”可推知，第二段是通过智能手机和汽车收集数据的对比来展开论述的，即通过比较来展开论述的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语前文的内容“The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share it with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone (你驾驶习惯数据对保险公司来说可能很有价值。你可以选择也可以不选择与这些服务共享。但是，虽然你可以关闭手机上的位置数据)”可知，空前提到用户可以自主选择是否与这些服务共享。此句“But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out feature for your car.(但是，虽然你可以关闭手机上的位置数据，但你的汽车没有opt-out feature)”与上句构成转折关系，故可推知此处画线短语与C项“A function to stop something(停止某事的功能)”意思相近，尽管你可以关闭手机上的数据位置，但你的汽车却没有停止分享数据位置的功能。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have an advantage in price and convenience.(他们更有可能只与他们的品牌经销商分享我们的数据，而不是与在价格和便利性方面有优势的独立维修店分享。)”可知，若汽车制造商控制数据，这意味着用户可能需要为汽车保养更多费用，因为品牌经销商的收费可能会更高。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It is clear that because of its value — as high as 750 billion dollars by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the chance to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people who want to see it.(很明显，由于其价值可能高达7500亿美元（截至2030年），汽车制造商不太可能放弃对我们车辆所收集数据的控制权。然而，政策制定者有机会让驾驶员掌握控制权——这不仅仅是为了保护他们的数据隐私，还为了让他们能与希望看到这些数据的人共享数据。)”可推知，作者认为政策制定者可以让驾驶员掌握对数据的控制权，因此政策可以帮助司机控制他们的数据。故选A。 D It’s Saturday night and you’ve downloaded a new food delivery app. You’ve scanned the menus, picked some Mexican dishes, placed your order and are now tracking the delivery. But your food never comes — and you never expected it to. It sounds silly if you’ve never tried it, but this viral trend is more popular than you might think. Just one app alone, FoodNeverComes, claims nearly 1 million “appetites satisfied” to date. Why would people bother spending time on apps or websites that are built to never deliver? Ultimately, it’s all about getting a dopamine (多巴胺) hit. Dopamine plays several important roles, including motivating us toward goals and helping your brain learn which actions lead to beneficial outcomes. With these new dopamine platforms, users don’t need to demonstrate payment details but they will experience: anticipation (“I might find something good”), selection (“I control my choices”), and a feeling of confirmation (“My order is placed!”). The only element of the process missing is consumption (“I received it”). These dopamine apps are relatively new, so we don’t yet have specific research on how much they might serve as “gateway behaviors”. A gateway behaviour is an initial behaviour that opens a pathway toward later behaviors becoming more likely. However, this is an area that’s been well studied before in other areas like gaming. And that past research raises potential concerns — particularly since these dopamine apps are designed to be game-like. Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers. Free apps often rely on advertising to pay for making their content free. Apps or websites that use Google AdSense to display their ads use tiny text files stored on your browser to track your online browsing habits. Third-party advertisers, including Google, can then use your history to serve you more targeted ads. If you do purchase that pretend jacket, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more ads for the real thing. 12. Why is the app FoodNeverComes mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To warn against online shopping. B. To show problems with food delivery. C. To lead in a popular phenomenon. D. To illustrate people’s dietary preferences. 13. What can people obtain from dopamine platforms? A. Real products at low prices. B. Suggestions for better choices. C. Payment details for future use. D. A sense of control and excitement. 14. What does the author worry about regarding these dopamine apps? A. They fail to attract enough users. B. They lead to other risky behaviors. C. They charge high fees for services. D. They provide inaccurate information. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Dopamine Apps: A Hidden Trap B. FoodNeverComes: A Popular App C. Google AdSense: A Tracking Tool D. Dopamine Apps: An Entertaining Game 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一类不提供实际商品配送的多巴胺应用展开介绍，分析了其运作原理，并指出这类应用可能存在引导用户不良行为、泄露用户浏览数据供商家精准营销的潜在风险。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It sounds silly if you’ve never tried it, but this viral trend is more popular than you might think. Just one app alone, FoodNeverComes, claims nearly 1 million “appetites satisfied” to date. Why would people bother spending time on apps or websites that are built to never deliver? Ultimately, it’s all about getting a dopamine (多巴胺) hit.(如果你从未尝试过，这听起来很愚蠢，但这种病毒式的趋势比你想象的更受欢迎。仅FoodNeverComes这一款应用，就声称迄今为止有近100万人“食欲得到满足”。为什么人们会费心在那些被设计成永远无法交付的应用程序或网站上花时间呢？最终，这一切都是为了获得多巴胺带来的冲击。)”可知，作者首先以FoodNeverComes这款应用为例，引出了当下存在的这种不提供实际配送却广受欢迎的多巴胺应用现象，后文围绕该现象展开分析。因此提及该应用是为了引入文章讨论的热门现象。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With these new dopamine platforms, users don’t need to demonstrate payment details but they will experience: anticipation (“I might find something good”), selection (“I control my choices”), and a feeling of confirmation (“My order is placed!”).(在这些新型多巴胺平台上，用户不需要提交支付细节，但他们会体验到：期待感（“我可能会找到好东西”）、选择感（“我能掌控自己的选择”）以及确定感（“我的订单已经下好了！”）)”可知，用户可以从这类多巴胺平台获得掌控感和期待带来的兴奋感。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“These dopamine apps are relatively new, so we don’t yet have specific research on how much they might serve as “gateway behaviors”. A gateway behaviour is an initial behaviour that opens a pathway toward later behaviors becoming more likely. However, this is an area that’s been well studied before in other areas like gaming. And that past research raises potential concerns — particularly since these dopamine apps are designed to be game-like.(这些多巴胺应用相对较新，因此我们目前还没有具体研究表明它们可能会在多大程度上成为“入门行为”。入门行为指的是一种初始行为，它会为后续更可能发生的行为开辟通路。然而，这一领域在游戏等其他领域之前已经得到了充分研究，过去的研究引发了人们的潜在担忧——尤其是因为这些多巴胺应用本身就被设计成类似游戏的模式。)”可推知，作者借鉴游戏领域关于入门行为的研究，担忧这类多巴胺应用会成为入门行为，引导用户产生其他风险行为。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段首先引入多巴胺应用这一现象，第二段解释其吸引用户的原理，最后两段作者提出两个潜在问题：一是这类应用可能成为引导其他风险行为的入门行为，二是这类应用会追踪用户的浏览习惯，为广告商提供精准营销的数据，本质上用户的个人数据成为了平台获利的来源。结合最后一段“Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers.(记住那句老话：“天下没有免费的午餐”！虽然这些应用可能有趣又免费，但你的虚假选择对营销人员来说仍然价值极高。)”可知，作者认为这类多巴胺应用实际上是隐藏的陷阱，会消耗用户的个人数据，带来潜在风险，因此最合适的标题是“Dopamine Apps: A Hidden Trap(多巴胺应用：一个隐藏的陷阱)”。 第二节（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。 In the spring of 2022, after a depressing 58-loss season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat near the bottom of the NBA standings. ____16____ In just three seasons it rocketed from the bottom to the top of the league. How does a team improve so quickly? That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn, adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change. During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently? ____17____ And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate. To identify members of high-performing teams, we had workers rate their team’s effectiveness and industry performance. Those rated highest were called “superteams”. ____18____ Superteams share three key strengths. Firstly, they get more done by managing time, energy, and attention more efficiently. Secondly, their members actively make one another better. Thirdly, they’re constantly building new skills and improving over time. It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. ____19____ It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild, putting long-term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012. The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good teams into superteams. ____20____ A. But something remarkable happened. B. They work together towards the same goal. C. Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident. D. We found that superteam leaders are more likely to support employees. E. Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond. F. To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries. G. Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了俄克拉荷马城雷霆队从低谷迅速崛起的故事，并由此引出对高效团队成功秘诀的研究与总结。 【16题详解】 由上文“In the spring of 2022, after a depressing 58-loss season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat near the bottom of the NBA standings. (2022年春天，在经历了一个令人沮丧的58负赛季后，俄克拉荷马城雷霆队位列NBA积分榜底部。)”以及下文“In just three seasons it rocketed from the bottom to the top of the league. (短短三个赛季，它就从底部跃升至联盟顶端。)”可知，本空讲述发生了转折性的变化，A选项“But something remarkable happened. (但引人瞩目的事情发生了。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“But”与上文的低谷形成转折关系，且该选项中的“something remarkable”与下文的“rocketed from the bottom to the top”相呼应，表示情况发生了惊人的逆转。 【17题详解】 由上文“During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently? (过去几年，我和同事们一直在研究一个问题：最优秀的团队有何不同？)”以及下文“And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate. (并且我们收集了关于这些团队如何确定优先事项、做出决策和协作的详细数据。)”可知，本空要说研究的具体方法，F选项“To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries. (为了找到答案，我们调查了各行各业的6,000多名知识工作者。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“To find out”指代上文的“investigating a question”，且该选项中的“we surveyed”与下文的“we collected”形成并列递进关系，时态上均为一般过去时，表示研究过程的连续动作。 【18题详解】 由上文“Those rated highest were called ‘superteams’ (评分最高的被称为‘超级团队’)”以及下文“Superteams share three key strengths (超级团队具备三项关键优势)”可知，本空要说超级团队的共性特征，G选项“Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar. (在这些超级团队中，高绩效的秘诀看起来非常相似。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“those superteams”指代上文的“superteams”，且该选项中的“looked remarkably similar”与下文的“share three key strengths”相呼应，表示引出对共性优势的总结。 【19题详解】 由上文“It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. (雷霆队显然已经掌握了最后一项优势。)”以及下文“It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. (这是该组织自2008年迁至俄克拉荷马城以来形成的一种模式的一部分。)”可知，本空要说雷霆队的崛起并非偶然，C选项“Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident. (它过去几年的快速崛起并非偶然。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Its”指代上文的“the Thunder”，且该选项中的“not an accident”与下文的“part of a pattern”相呼应，表示这种成功是有规律、有原因的。 【20题详解】 由上文“The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good teams into superteams. (雷霆队的故事提醒我们，成功源于对进步的追求、能发现并解决问题的果断领导者，以及合作良好的积极团队。这些习惯将优秀团队转变为超级团队。)”可知，本空要说这些习惯的普遍适用性，E选项“Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond. (任何团队都可以培养这些习惯，无论是在篮球、商业还是其他领域。)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“them”指代上文的“the habits”，且该选项中的“Any team”与文章开头“How does a team improve so quickly? That question isn't just about basketball”相呼应，表示从具体案例升华到普遍规律。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We had many family traditions.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文描述了作者原本不理解家中堆落叶的生日家庭传统，孩子离家后收到孩子寄来的落叶，最终领悟了家庭传统维系亲情的意义。 【21题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的生日在十月，孩子们坚持要我跳进一堆落叶里，说这是“我的传统”。A. books书；B. leaves叶子；C. gifts礼物；D. boxes盒子。下文“I opened my daughter’s envelope first, and caught my breath as a bright red leaf”提到两个孩子都寄来了“叶子”，且十月堆叶子玩符合语境，呼应后文的家庭传统。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：即便我的孩子们渐渐长大，也不愿让这个传统就此消失。A. offered提供；B. agreed同意；C. hoped希望；D. refused拒绝。根据下文“let the tradition die”可知，此处是指“拒绝”让这个传统消失。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但我始终未能完全理解其中的含义——在我看来，这有点儿幼稚。A. point要点；B. concept概念；C. secret秘密；D. difference差异。固定搭配get the point意为“明白其中的道理/意义”，作者一开始觉得这个传统幼稚，不理解它的意义。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后孩子们长大成人并离开了家。A. left离开；B. hit撞击；C. returned归还；D. welcomed欢迎。根据下文“My daughter volunteered in Bulgaria, and my son was away for college.”可知，此处是指孩子长大“离开”了家。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：意识到这将是自己与他们分别后的首个生日，我开始想念他们了。A. support支持；B. believe相信；C. miss想念；D. call呼唤。根据上文“Realizing it would be my first birthday without them”可知，这是第一个没有孩子们陪伴的生日，所以作者开始“想念”孩子们。 【26题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在我生日那天早上，我有点惊讶地发现有两封信，分别来自他们两人。A. curious好奇的；B. surprised惊讶的；C. confident自信的；D. relieved宽慰的。根据上文“My daughter volunteered in Bulgaria, and my son was away for college.”可知，孩子都离家在外，作者没想到会收到他们的邮件，因此感到“惊讶”。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我非常想看看他们为我准备了什么样的生日祝福。A. wishes祝福；B. memories记忆；C. invitation邀请；D. dinner晚餐。根据上文“On my birthday morning”可知，此处指作者好奇孩子给自己准备了什么样的生日“祝福”，符合生日收信的语境。 【28题详解】 考查短语辨析。句意：我先打开了女儿的信封，顿时屏住了呼吸，因为一片鲜红的树叶掉了出来。A. dried out变干；B. flew away飞走；C. fell out掉落；D. blew by吹过。根据上文“I opened my daughter’s envelope first”打开信封后，红叶从信封里掉出来，fall out表示“掉出”。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我读着它，忍不住泪流满面。A. doubts怀疑；B. sorrow悲伤；C. panic恐慌；D. tears眼泪。根据上文“Stuck to the leaf was a post-it note”可知，作者读着女儿的便签应该是深受感动，控制不住流下“眼泪”。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当地居民帮我向你的传统致敬。A. start开始；B. honor尊敬；C. challenge挑战；D. understand理解。根据上文“The residents helped me”可知，孩子们在国外，当地人为父亲找叶子，是延续、致敬这个家庭传统，honor在此表示“向……致敬，尊重”符合文意。 【31题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这很符合他的行事风格，根本就没有留下任何便条。A. Painful痛苦的；B. Fortunate幸运的；C. Suitable合适的；D. Typical典型的。根据下文“there was no note”可知，儿子没有留便签，这是“典型的”儿子的风格。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，我能够想象出他只需将一片树叶放进信封里，而我知道自己会明白其中的意思。A. picture想象；B. observe观察；C. remember记得；D. leave离开。picture此处作动词，意为“想象，构想”，作者能“想象出”儿子放叶子时的样子，知道自己会懂这份心意。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：那天早上，我终于明白了家庭传统的意义：安全感、归属感，以及一种超越个人的共同身份认同。A. dignity尊严；B. fulfillment履行；C. reputation名声；D. belonging归属感。根据上文“That morning I finally understood family traditions”可知，此处用belonging表示“归属感”符合家庭主题。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们是维系家庭团结的纽带。A. blanket毯子B. standard标准；C. glue胶水；D. goal目标。比喻用法，家庭传统是把家庭成员凝聚在一起的“胶水”，对应后文“holds families together”。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：从那天起，我就从未怀疑过那些珍贵家庭传统所蕴含的力量和意义。A. origin起源；B. power力量；C. sign标志；D. result结果。根据空格后的meaning可知，此处指经历这件事后，作者再也不怀疑珍贵家庭传统的“力量”和意义，power和meaning并列，符合逻辑。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式, 并将答案填写在答题卡上。 In a classroom at the Confucius Institute of the University of Granada, in Spain, a group of Spanish students mirrored their teacher’s martial arts (武术) movements.

I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear. Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion. Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her. Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool. I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest’s yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in, lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night. Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil. Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part of our lives, who I would never give up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者失业后经济紧张，不得不卖掉房子并放弃爱犬，绝望之中作者一边打简历和求职信一边从眼角余光看着13个月大的儿子和温柔的大狗布丽吉特玩耍，后来孩子不慎掉进了水里，爱犬把孩子救了的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在那里，我惊讶地看到害怕水的布丽吉特跳进了游泳池。”可知，第一段可描写Forrest掉进水里，布丽吉特跳进水里救起了他，以及作者的感受并赶紧把儿子送去了医院。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，医生说福雷斯特没事，可以出院了。”可知，第二段可描写回家后狗和作者的儿子友好相处的场景以及作者的感受并决定不会放弃布丽吉特。 2.续写线索：儿子掉进水里——狗救了孩子——送去医院——狗和孩子友好相处——决定不放弃狗 3.词汇激活 行为类 看见：catch sight of/ clap eyes on 竭尽全力：do one’s best/try one’s best 意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 恐惧的：to one’s horror/to one’s fright 感激：be grateful/be thankful/be appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool.（运用了了倒装句和that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.（运用了独立主格结构，where引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025级高二上学期10月月考 英语试卷 考试时长：120分钟 满分：150分 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.

During this stage, students explore possible directions for university study and long-term goals. A wide variety of schools offer different courses, each shaping students’ academic and cultural growth uniquely. Pathways Key Features Target Students International Schools Fully English instruction; globally recognized qualifications Students who have moved between countries or plan to study overseas SAP Schools Dual-language competence (English and Chinese); strong academic traditions Students interested in bilingual learning Public Schools Academic excellence; local cultural integration Students seeking structured education within Singapore’s system Private Institutions Flexible study pace; smaller class sizes; personalized support Students who need more support or don’t meet public school entry requirements Specialized Independent Schools Specialized training and enrichment opportunities Students with strong talents in science, mathematics, sports, or the arts Understanding these pathways can help international students and their families make informed choices. Above all, the best option depends on the student’s personal strengths and goals, including the type of learning experience they’re looking for. 1. Why is high school important for international students in Singapore? A. It helps them adapt to local life quickly. B. It helps them explore university courses beforehand. C. It prepares them for specialized learning and career planning. D. It offers them opportunities for overseas university admission. 2. Which pathway best suits students eager for Chinese-English learning? A. International Schools. B. SAP Schools. C. Private Institutions. D. Specialized Independent Schools. 3.

Class sizes and personalized instruction. B Whenever I complained that I was bored, my mother would not hand me a phone or switch on the television. Instead she would move from shelf to shelf, and return with some books in her arms. She would sit on the edge of my bed, describing each in a few words. My mother used books as a form of communication. It wasn’t simply the exchange I’ve just described — her giving me books she’d read and loved as a child, and hoping I would love them too — but the words in the books themselves. If we drove towards the Gladesville Bridge at night, the lights of cars streaming down, she would quote her favourite poet, who described headlights on the bridge as "the immaculate sigh of stars". To her, books gave voice to what she noticed. My mother’s gift for noticing small moments reflected an important quality: she deeply valued sensory details. She was always pointing them out to me, like young ducks, the fluff (绒毛) all over their bodies pale yellow, as though they wore bath towels. I didn’t realise it then, but those moments were quietly shaping the way I would later understand the world. Now as a literature teacher, I value sensory details as well. I often find myself encouraging my students to notice them, just as my mother once encouraged me. When talking about the Harry Potter series, I ask my students to consider whether it’s the lists of richly imagined foods, the all-flavour jellybeans and the butter beer that are the books’ real attraction. Only now do I realise how much of my mother I carry with me. What stays with me is not the titles she chose or the quotes she gave, but the habit of looking closely at the world. Borrowing lines from the books to describe our own lives, we’re adding depth to what we’ve seen or felt or heard. 4. What did the mother use to relieve the writer’s boredom? A. Television. B. Phones. C. Books. D. Food. 5. Why did the mother quote “the immaculate sigh of stars”? A. To vividly describe a small moment. B. To briefly explain a bridge structure. C. To express her love for the universe. D. To talk about her most beloved poet. 6. What does the writer emphasize in her teaching? A. Challenging literary classics. B. Paying mindful attention to details. C. Quoting the Harry Potter series. D. Developing creative imagination. 7. What does the writer learn from her mother? A. Poetic writing techniques. B. Vital communication skills. C. A method of self-reflection. D. A habit of close observation. C Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this means many new features: automatic braking (刹车), turn-by-turn directions, and entertainment systems. But carmakers are getting much more. They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have and even financial information. But who owns and, finally, controls that data? And what are carmakers doing with it? The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea that vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’ve come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation. What carmakers are doing with the collected data isn’t clear. We know they use it to improve car performance and safety and that they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share it with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out feature for your car. Carmakers use data to warn us when something needs repair or when our cars need to be taken in for service. For almost a century, car owners have been able to take their vehicles to whichever shop they trust for maintenance and repair. That may be changing. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have an advantage in price and convenience. It is clear that because of its value — as high as 750 billion dollars by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the chance to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people who want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their cars. 8. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By expressing ideas. B. By giving examples. C. By exploring reasons. D. By making comparisons. 9. What does the underlined part “opt-out feature” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A useful tool. B. A special part. C. A function to stop something. D. A way to start something. 10. What might happen if carmakers control users’ data? A. More repair shops will appear. B. Carmakers will offer more repair shops. C. Users will spend more on car maintenance. D. Independent repair shops will earn higher profits. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vehicle data control? A. Policies may help drivers gain control of their data. B. Car owners will release control over their vehicle data. C. Drivers should realize the value of their personal data. D. Carmakers may share vehicle data with drivers in no way. D It’s Saturday night and you’ve downloaded a new food delivery app. You’ve scanned the menus, picked some Mexican dishes, placed your order and are now tracking the delivery. But your food never comes — and you never expected it to. It sounds silly if you’ve never tried it, but this viral trend is more popular than you might think. Just one app alone, FoodNeverComes, claims nearly 1 million “appetites satisfied” to date. Why would people bother spending time on apps or websites that are built to never deliver? Ultimately, it’s all about getting a dopamine (多巴胺) hit. Dopamine plays several important roles, including motivating us toward goals and helping your brain learn which actions lead to beneficial outcomes. With these new dopamine platforms, users don’t need to demonstrate payment details but they will experience: anticipation (“I might find something good”), selection (“I control my choices”), and a feeling of confirmation (“My order is placed!”). The only element of the process missing is consumption (“I received it”). These dopamine apps are relatively new, so we don’t yet have specific research on how much they might serve as “gateway behaviors”. A gateway behaviour is an initial behaviour that opens a pathway toward later behaviors becoming more likely. However, this is an area that’s been well studied before in other areas like gaming. And that past research raises potential concerns — particularly since these dopamine apps are designed to be game-like. Remember the old saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”! While these apps might be fun and free, your fake choices can still be incredibly valuable for marketers. Free apps often rely on advertising to pay for making their content free. Apps or websites that use Google AdSense to display their ads use tiny text files stored on your browser to track your online browsing habits. Third-party advertisers, including Google, can then use your history to serve you more targeted ads. If you do purchase that pretend jacket, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more ads for the real thing. 12. Why is the app FoodNeverComes mentioned in paragraph 1? A.

How does a team improve so quickly? That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn, adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change. During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently? ____17____ And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate. To identify members of high-performing teams, we had workers rate their team’s effectiveness and industry performance. Those rated highest were called “superteams”. ____18____ Superteams share three key strengths. Firstly, they get more done by managing time, energy, and attention more efficiently. Secondly, their members actively make one another better. Thirdly, they’re constantly building new skills and improving over time. It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. ____19____ It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild, putting long-term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012. The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good teams into superteams. ____20____ A. But something remarkable happened. B. They work together towards the same goal. C. Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident. D. We found that superteam leaders are more likely to support employees. E. Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond. F. To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries. G. Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We had many family traditions.

I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear. Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion. Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her. Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool. I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
