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. What matters most in choosing an academic pathway? A. Students’ strengths and goals. B. Family opinions and expectations. C. Chances to experience local culture. D.

As with many children, books first drew me in through their illustrations. My love of colour was stimulated by the original Babar books; my understanding of lines comes from the Our Wullie annuals, or Tintin. Later, the words became more important to me. I was not happy at boarding school, but I loved spending time in its library. Books became my private garden. So it was no surprise that I studied English at university. Today “English literature” is in sharp decline among senior-level exam subjects and some universities are ceasing to offer it. This is a quiet cultural disaster, one in which we are stealing their best future from our children. It may not lead directly to a good-paying office job. But it has given people like me a reliable friend. Later, work and family made it harder for me to read. As a journalist, I had many deadlines, and as a mother, I often had little time because of children and money worries. Sometimes I read while standing on a moving bus or train. It was difficult, but I kept reading. Every year, I still looked forward to new books by Ian McEwan and many other writers, such as Penelope Fitzgerald and Donna Tartt. Each book gave me a new world to explore and a new friend to meet. At this point, readers may ask whether I would have been better off living — meeting and talking to fleshy actual humans or playing sports. Well, I don’t spend all my life on a sofa with books all around me. There seems to be time for chat and laughter. But without deep and repeated reading of writers who millions of other people have already found friendly and helpful, my life would just be so much narrower and meaner. The great books remain, across most of a lifetime, my secret garden. 4. What first attracted the author to books as a child? A. The plots. B. The titles. C. The pictures. D. The reviews. 5. What does the author think of “English literature”? A. Spiritually comforting. B. Academically difficult. C. Economically rewarding. D. Practically advantageous. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the author? A. Her busy life. B. Her favorite writers. C. Her reading on trips. D. Her insistence on reading. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Analyze a current trend. B. Defend her point of view. C. Show readers’ misunderstanding of books. D. Prove the importance of real-life activities. As extreme weather events including typhoons, floods and droughts strike more frequently across the globe, small island nations and coastal developing countries face huge challenges in disaster early warning. The technological answer, increasingly, comes from China. At the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP29), China released the Action Plan on Early Warning for Climate Change Adaptation, opening satellite data sharing platforms free of charge for developing countries. Its Fengyun meteorological (气象的) satellite network — nine satellites in orbit backed by 842 weather radars and more than 90,000 ground stations — now provides real-time data to 133 countries and regions. Three new satellites are due for launch in 2026 to cover the Indian Ocean and western Pacific. Traditional weather satellites struggle with thick cloud cover, which blocks optical (光学的) sensors and fails to capture internal typhoon structures accurately. China’s new-generation microwave satellites break this bottleneck: microwave signals can penetrate thick clouds, precisely measuring wind speed, rainfall intensity and atmospheric pressure inside storm systems. The technology extends effective typhoon warning time from 48 hours to 72 hours, creating precious preparation time for vulnerable (易受伤害的) coastal communities. The Action Plan was praised by Selwin Hart, the UN secretary-general’s climate adviser, as the first national plan directly supporting the UN’s Early Warnings for All initiative. Meteorological teams from Pacific island nations such as Fiji and Vanuatu have received technical training from Chinese experts, learning to analyze satellite data and design local emergency response plans. Apart from satellite hardware, China also builds ground weather monitoring stations in Southeast Asia and Africa, forming a complete land-space integrated warning network. Western climate researchers commented that unlike technology exports driven by commercial profits, China’s disaster warning cooperation focuses on public global security, addressing the most urgent survival demand of countries threatened by climate disasters. This technological achievement fully demonstrates how Chinese innovation responds to shared challenges of humankind. 8. What do we know about the Action Plan? A. It offers free satellite data to developing nations. B. It aims to remove natural disasters in coastal areas. C. It has launched three new satellites over the Pacific. D. It builds ground stations for disaster-stricken nations. 9. What does the underlined word “penetrate” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Pass through. B. Gather up. C. Block off. D. Break down. 10. What is western climate researchers’ attitude to the disaster warning cooperation? A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Dismissive. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. China develops advanced satellites to fight natural disasters. B. Microwave technology improves typhoon forecast accuracy. C. China’s warning system helps the world with climate issues. D. Extreme weather is threatening coastal developing countries. In 1915, Albert Einstein stood before the Prussian Academy of Sciences and presented the equations (方程) of general theory of relativity. Today, Einstein and relativity are seen as symbols of genius. However, when he first showed his ideas, other scientists did not care much about them. Part of the reason was that the theory was too radical (全新的) for them to fully understand. A century later, technology companies use genius to describe artificial intelligence. Some predict “superintelligent” systems that will outperform experts in most fields and work like “a country of geniuses in a datacenter”. Yet such claims often come with little evidence. Intelligence is difficult to define, and genius is even harder to recognize before its effects become clear. However, there is one field where this prediction seems to be coming true: math. Recent AI systems have made rapid progress on difficult problems. One AI-assisted study even showed that a mathematical conjecture (猜想) made 80 years earlier was false. Such achievements have filled mathematicians with both wonder and concern. If machines can move so quickly in a field built on proof, it is easy to imagine them racing ahead alone. In fact, AI’s mathematical successes show how essential human experts remain. A result becomes credible only when mathematicians examine it and decide that it holds. Researchers are also using ideas produced by AI to make progress on other problems. Machines may generate possibilities, but people still test them, connect them with existing knowledge and decide which ones are worth pursuing. The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it. This may sound less dramatic than the future promised by technology companies, yet it is close to how genius has always worked. Einstein’s equations had their full impact only after other scientists applied them to the universe, helping predict black holes and an expanding universe. Great ideas may appear in a moment; turning them into knowledge is a shared scientific process. 12. Why does the author mention Einstein in paragraph 1? A. To support a claim. B. To present a theory. C. To introduce a topic. D. To illustrate a concept. 13. What does the author think of the companies’ claims about AI? A. They sound convincing. B. They lack solid evidence. C. They cause experts’ panic. D. They rest on clear measures. 14. What can be inferred about AI’s role in math? A. It has made human experts less essential in research. B. It has proven the arrival of superintelligence in math. C. It serves mainly to test existing mathematical theories. D. It acts as a partner to experts rather than a replacement. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI’s Math Progress and Human Roles B. Einstein’s Genius and Math Difficulty C. Machine Discoveries and Human Replacement D. Superintelligence Arrival and Machine Influence 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Finding a career as a teenager can be a frightening task, but it’s an important step in preparing you for the future. ____16____ It’s a long-term professional path that allows you to use your skills and hobbies to earn a living and make a huge contribution to your country.

Most young adults had flooded into the city, leaving behind grey-haired grandparents and children. Clara, after building a successful career in the city, returned home, surprised by what she found: children glued to screens, and quiet streets empty of laughter. She invested her savings and opened a free bookstore on the riverbank. The shelves were filled with books — but the chairs were always empty. The villagers were polite but helpless. “Once the kids pick up a phone, you can’t get them to read,” an elderly woman sighed. The words weighed on Clara’s heart but she said nothing. The next Saturday, with golden light spreading on the river, she loaded a cloth bag with picture books and set out on her bicycle, hoping to bring stories to the children. Her first stop was a small cottage. A young boy sat on the doorstep, phone in hand. Clara asked gently if he would like to read some picture books. The boy shook his head. “Thanks, but I’m spending my time on my phone,” he replied. Then the door closed behind him. At the next two houses, there was no answer; the grandparents were out working in the fields. By late afternoon, her bag remained stuffed with untouched books. She stood by the river, watching the sun sink, and wondered if the old woman had been right. It was then that she noticed a small figure sitting on the ground — eight-year-old Toby. His clothes were faded but his face was sincere and clean. He was drawing shapes in the dust with a stick — not random marks, but careful outlines of birds in flight, as though illustrating a story only he could see. Clara opened her bag. The last sunlight fell across the book covers, making them stand out. One book bore a picture of a bird spreading its wings in flight. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Clara took a deep breath and walked towards him. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following Saturday, Clara walked into her bookstore, surprised to find Toby was not alone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绵阳中学实验学校高2025级高二（上）第一学月考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B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，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

We’ve run into some problems and badly need your help. First, most students prefer light fiction, so we struggle to pick suitable English books that are both interesting and helpful for language learning. Besides, few classmates join in the weekly reading sharing — they fear making mistakes when speaking English. Could you recommend some proper English books for high school students? Also, would you please come to our first activity to give a short talk and encourage students to speak English? We’d truly appreciate your guidance. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 Clara took a deep breath and walked towards him. She crouched down, pointed at the flying bird on the book cover and asked softly, “Do you want to see more birds that can travel across mountains and seas in stories?” Toby froze, his eyes fixed on the bright cover, and nodded shyly. Clara sat beside him, turning pages and narrating the warm story vividly. The boy’s eyes grew brighter little by little, and he even shared his own wish to draw all the lovely birds in the valley. Before leaving, Clara lent the book to him and invited him to the bookstore. The following Saturday, Clara walked into her bookstore, surprised to find Toby was not alone. He was standing by the shelf with three other kids, all holding the picture books Clara had brought before. Toby ran to her excitedly and said he told his friends the interesting bird story, and they all wanted to see more books about nature and stories. Soon, laughter and reading voices filled the bookstore. More and more kids put down their phones and came here, and the quiet riverbank was full of long-lost joy again. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
