How Teachers Like to Communicate With Parents These days, teachers have a wide range of communication options for reaching parents — newsletters, emails, messaging apps, phone calls, and the classic flyer or paper notice. Modern apps and platforms have allowed teachers to share videos and images, show parents student progress, and provide live updates and announcements to all the families in their class. Still, experts say teachers should be strategic about how they use tech tools to communicate with parents. For instance, they should be mindful of the fact that not every family has access to smartphones with internet access. And teachers should be clear with their expectations and boundaries for using the tools, so parents don’t always expect immediate responses after working hours. Educators voted in an informal poll (调查) about how technology has affected their communication with parents. Half of the 510 respondents said technology has helped, while 5% said it hurts their communication. Forty-five percent said it has pros and cons. Here are some of their responses. “Proof of documentation sent. If they choose not to read it or respond, not my problem. There is no more, ‘he said, she said’.” Elle M. “No more miscommunication. All papers are saved for parents, students, admin, and teachers. Yes, we had homework. Yes, they were given due dates well in advance. Work was submitted? [Show] me on your computer.” Phil K. “I think parents pay more attention when I hand their child a piece of paper. I can send so many reminders electronically and still have parents not pay attention. We have alarms and calendars on our phones, and we avoid using them.” Christina W. “Parents still don’t read emails and still only read and respond to text messages. It’s amazing that we haven’t figured this out.” Shawn R. 1. What do experts suggest teachers do when using tech tools to communicate with parents? A. Make instant responses. B. Set communication rules. C. Provide personalized visuals. D. Recommend smartphone apps. 2. What do both Elle M. and Phil K. value most about digital communication with parents? A. Higher efficiency. B. Reduced paper use. C. Improved accountability. D. Greater parent engagement. 3. Which form of communication does Cristina W. find most effective? A. Phone calls. B. Text messages. C. Paper notes. D. Email reminders. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了教师与家长沟通方式的多样性，专家对使用科技工具沟通的建议及不同教师的看法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And teachers should be clear with their expectations and boundaries for using the tools, so parents don't always expect immediate responses after working hours.(教师应该明确使用这些工具的期望和界限，这样家长就不会总是期望下班后能立即得到回复)”可知，专家建议教师使用科技工具与家长沟通时，应设定沟通规则。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Elle M.的回应“Proof of documentation sent. If they choose not to read it or respond, not my problem. There is no more, ‘he said, she said’.(文件证明已发送。如果他们选择不阅读或不回复，那不是我的问题。不再有‘他说，她说’的情况了)”和Phil K.的回应“No more miscommunication. All papers are saved for parents, students, admin, and teachers.(不再有误解。所有文件都为家长、学生、管理人员和教师保存)”可知，Elle M.和Phil K.都认为数字沟通提高了责任性，减少了误解和“他说，她说”的情况。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Christina W.的回应“I think parents pay more attention when I hand their child a piece of paper. I can send so many reminders electronically and still have parents not pay attention.(我认为当我给他们的孩子一张纸时，家长会更注意。我可以发送很多电子提醒，但仍有家长不注意)”可知，Christina W.认为纸质便条是最有效的沟通方式。故选C。 B I sat on the sidelines with my 14-year-old son, Nathan, who was hardly enthusiastic to be at a community Christmas party for little kids. He was too old to care about Santa, the guest of honor. Meanwhile, Santa was being surrounded by the excited children. “Look, Nathan,” I gave him a little push. “Mrs. Claus is trying to get your attention.” Unwillingly, he followed me over. “What do you want for Christmas?” Mrs. Claus asked him. “Well, I like Legos, and I need a new tennis racket. But what I really can’t wait for is a 3D printer.” Nathan wanted to start an online business making cell phone cases. Mrs. Claus brightened. “My grandkids are clamoring for a 3D printer too. They have a pet duck named Tim, who’s missing a leg. The grandkids want to make Tim a prosthetic (假肢) and attach it with a Velcro strap (魔术贴).” “Cool project,” Nathan said. He thought for a minute. “I’ll make him one for free, but it won’t be ready for Christmas. My parents and I worked out a deal. They’re going to invest in my business with a loan, but I have to save up some of the money myself. I’ll make Tim’s leg as soon as I can afford a printer.” Two weeks later, Nathan opened his 3D printer. His eyes lit up. After weeks of practice, Nathan made his first plastic leg for Tim, but the strap didn’t hold when the duck moved. Nathan didn’t give up. He made a second one.This time, Tim flapped (拍打) his wings and made loud noises when they put it on. The third one worked better — Tim took a few steps. The grandkids cheered, happy that Tim could finally experience what it was like to walk on two legs. This Christmas, Nathan’s 3D printer brought more than tech skills — it brought the joy of helping. We’d made an excellent investment. 4. What can we learn about Nathan from the first two paragraphs? A. He was helping organize the event. B. He enjoyed playing with little kids. C. He wasn’t interested in the Christmas party. D. He was surrounded by enthusiastic children. 5. What does the underlined word “clamoring” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Begging. B. Searching. C. Preparing. D. Trading. 6. Why did Nathan offer to make Tim’s prosthetic leg for free? A. He wanted to impress Mrs. Claus. B. He saw it as a business opportunity. C. He cared more about helping than profiting. D. He was confident in his 3D printing abilities. 7. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. The 3D printing’s technical limits. B. The duck’s cheerful walking experience. C. The perfect solution for animal disabilities. D. The challenges of perfecting the prosthetic. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了14岁的Nathan在社区圣诞派对上结识Mrs. Claus后，利用3D打印技术为她的孙子的残疾鸭子制作假肢的故事，展现了技术与善意的结合。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I sat on the sidelines with my 14-year-old son, Nathan, who was hardly enthusiastic to be at a community Christmas party for little kids. (我和14岁的儿子Nathan坐在一旁，对于参加这场面向小孩的社区圣诞派对，他完全提不起兴致)”可知，Nathan对圣诞派对不感兴趣。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“They have a pet duck named Tim, who’s missing a leg. The grandkids want to make Tim a prosthetic (假肢) and attach it with a Velcro strap (魔术贴)(他们养了一只叫Tim的宠物鸭，这只鸭子少了一条腿。孙辈们想给蒂姆做一个假肢，再用魔术贴带子把它固定好)”可知，孙子们想要3D打印机给Tim做一个假肢，因此他们迫切想要一台3D打印机。由此猜测，划线词意为“迫切想要”，与beg同义。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“I’ll make him one for free, but it won’t be ready for Christmas.(我会免费给它做一个假肢，但圣诞节前做不出来)”和最后一段中“This Christmas, Nathan’s 3D printer brought more than tech skills — it brought the joy of helping.(今年圣诞节，Nathan的3D打印机带来的不仅仅是技术技能，它还带来了帮助他人的快乐)”可知，Nathan免费给Tim做假肢是为了提供帮助而不是盈利。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段中“After weeks of practice, Nathan made his first plastic leg for Tim, but the strap didn’t hold when the duck moved. Nathan didn’t give up. He made a second one. This time, Tim flapped (拍打) his wings and made loud noises when they put it on. The third one worked better — Tim took a few steps. The grandkids cheered, happy that Tim could finally experience what it was like to walk on two legs.(他的眼睛亮了起来。经过几周的练习，Nathan为Tim做了他的第一条塑料腿，但当鸭子移动时，皮带就不牢固了。Nathan没有放弃。他又做了一个。这一次，当他们给它戴上时，Tim拍打着他的翅膀，发出很大的声音。第三个效果更好——Tim走了几步。孙子们欢呼起来，很高兴Tim终于体验到了用两条腿走路的感觉)”可知，Nathan对假肢进行了改善，第一次改进皮带，第二次改进舒适度，第三次才最好。因此，本段主要聚焦于Nathan改进假肢时遇到的挑战。故选D。 C In the UK, there are more and more sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and similar types of large cars on the streets. Cars are getting bigger, and that is a problem. It makes sense that larger cars are more dangerous if they run you over. Their fronts are taller than other cars’ and this is bad news for cyclists and pedestrians if one of these cars hits you. Cars are also getting wider — a trend known as “carspreading”. There is only so much road space, and more of it being taken up by cars means there is less of it for people cycling or using other modes of transport. The extra size of these cars also makes for more air pollution. Even if SUVs are electric, fine particles (颗粒) from tyres and brakes are now major sources of pollution in urban air. As SUVs are heavier than other cars, they tend to produce more tyre and brake particles, so we don’t see the same clean air benefits from electric SUVs as we do from smaller electric cars. So what can we do to make fewer of these large, dangerous, high-emission SUVs? Here are a few suggestions. There are now clean-air zones in some big cities. These stimulate people to think about pollution from older cars, although they aren’t directed at vehicle size. This is changing in the UK, however, as Cardiff Council in October approved plans to charge the owners of SUVs and larger cars more for residential parking permits. As well as parking regulations, national governments could consider changes to vehicle taxes, for instance, to encourage smaller cars. Taxing large vehicles more would be in line with their cost to society through road danger and pollution. Some people have reasons to need a larger car. But now that around half of new car sales are SUVs, we need to be clear about the dangers they bring. 8. What is a concern about large vehicles? A. They cause more traffic jams. B. They distract other road users. C. They block smaller cars from view. D. They increase injury risk in an accident. 9. How does the author explain the pollution problem of SUVs in Paragraph 3? A. By quoting experts’ opinions. B. By giving drivers’ personal stories. C. By providing statistics on vehicle pollution. D. By linking vehicle weight to particle pollution. 10. What approach is central to the suggested solutions? A. Increasing ownership costs. B. Upgrading parking facilities. C. Providing government funds. D. Launching media campaigns. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Going Electric B. Running Out of Road C. The Comeback of SUVs D. Why Cars Keep Getting Bigger 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国街头大型车辆增多带来的问题，包括增加事故伤害风险、加剧空气污染，并提出了应对建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It makes sense that larger cars are more dangerous if they run you over. Their fronts are taller than other cars' and this is bad news for cyclists and pedestrians if one of these cars hits you.(如果大型汽车撞到你，它们会更危险，这是有道理的。它们的前部比其他汽车高，如果其中一辆车撞到你，这对骑自行车的人和行人来说是个坏消息)”可知，大型车辆在事故中会增加受伤的风险。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As SUVs are heavier than other cars, they tend to produce more tyre and brake particles, so we don’t see the same clean air benefits from electric SUVs as we do from smaller electric cars.(由于SUV比其他汽车更重，它们往往会产生更多的轮胎和刹车颗粒，因此我们看不到电动SUV像小型电动汽车那样带来的清洁空气的好处)”可知，作者通过将车辆重量与颗粒污染联系起来解释SUV的污染问题。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This is changing in the UK, however, as Cardiff Council in October approved plans to charge the owners of SUVs and larger cars more for residential parking permits.(然而，这种情况在英国正在发生变化，因为加的夫市议会10月批准了向SUV和大型汽车车主收取更多住宅停车许可证费用的计划)”和第五段“As well as parking regulations, national governments could consider changes to vehicle taxes, for instance, to encourage smaller cars.(除了停车规定外，各国政府还可以考虑改变车辆税，例如，鼓励购买小型汽车)”可知，建议的解决方案的核心是增加大型车辆的使用成本。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文围绕英国大型汽车增多带来安全、空间占用、污染等问题展开，还给出提高成本的应对建议，“Running Out of Road(道路资源告急)”能体现大型汽车挤占道路空间等核心问题，适合作为标题。故选B。 D Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems. Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data. One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation. Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful. The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. 12. What does the research in paragraph 2 mainly show us? A. Health benefits of pet ownership. B. Various causes for human loneliness. C. Strong objection to the previous belief. D. Inconsistent results of human-pet studies. 13. How does the writer illustrate pet ownership increases physical activities? A. By listing examples. B. By presenting findings. C. By clarifying concepts. D. By giving definitions. 14. What can be inferred from Jessica Bibbo’s statement? A. The value of pets lies in emotional connection. B. Medical interventions are less effective than pets. C. Scientists have overestimated the benefits of pets. D. Pets should not be used in any medical treatment. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Human beings need animal companionship. B. Pets serve as the best cure for mental issues. C. Pet ownership alone guarantees a healthy life. D. Human-pet bond contributes to owners’ well-being. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们普遍认为宠物有益身心健康，但相关科学证据复杂且结果不一。真正的健康益处源于人与宠物的情感联结及照料行为，而非单纯养宠物本身。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. (人与动物互动领域的研究结果参差不齐。例如，一些研究表明养宠物的人不太可能抑郁，而另一些研究则相反)”可知，第二段的研究主要向我们展示了对人与宠物互动的研究结果的不一致。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. (养狗的一个更明显的好处是，由于每天散步，身体活动增加了。1998年一项著名的研究发现，心脏病发作的宠物主人第二年更有可能存活下来。2019年的一项分析甚至显示，养狗的人死亡风险大幅降低了24%)”可知，作者通过呈现研究结果来说明养宠物增加了身体活动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. (老年学家杰西卡·比博说：“宠物不是一种医疗干预；它们是一种关系。”依恋程度和情感支持似乎是健康益处的真正关键)”可推知，杰西卡·比博认为宠物的价值在于情感联系。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. (似乎，健康生活的秘诀不仅仅在于养宠物，还在于与它建立牢固、支持性的纽带)”结合文章主要介绍了养宠物与健康之间的关系，养宠物与健康之间的关系并非简单的因果关系，而是人与宠物之间的情感联系和互动质量对健康有重要影响。可知，这篇文章的主旨是人类与宠物的关系有助于主人的健康。故选D项。 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。 You may be organized, hardworking, and calm under pressure—qualities you’re proud of or even praised for. But these same characteristics could be signs of high-functioning anxiety (HFA). People with HFA may seem fine on the outside, but inside, they feel stressed and worried. ____16____ And there are tools and strategies that can help. ●Don’t aim for perfectionism. We often believe that if we do everything perfectly, we’ll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals. But perfection doesn’t exist. ____17____ Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a perfect performance. ● ____18____ People with HFA often take on too much because they struggle to say no. Therefore, setting clear limits is important. Think about what you really need, and don’t be afraid to turn down extra tasks. It can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance. Remember, boundaries aren’t about saying “no” to others, they’re about saying “yes” to yourself and your needs. ●Make time to relax. ____19____ It may seem like a waste of time when you could be working toward perfect outcomes. But relaxation is just as important as work. Plan time for hobbies or doing nothing—it helps take your mind off stressful things, makes you feel more peaceful, and improves your overall health and happiness. ●Ask for help if needed. Even if you seem fine on the outside, constant worry, tension, or trouble sleeping are signs you might need support. Working with a mental health professional can help you understand your anxiety and find better ways to deal with it. Remember, You don’t have to handle everything alone. ____20____ A. Set realistic boundaries. B. Learn to say “yes” to yourself. C. Perfectionism sees only mistakes. D. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. E. Instead of pursuing it, focus on progress. F. If you have HFA, you might feel guilty for resting. G. Getting support can really help make a meaningful difference. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是高功能焦虑症（HFA）的表现及应对策略。 【16题详解】 空前“You may be organized, hardworking, and calm under pressure—qualities you’re proud of or even praised for. But these same characteristics could be signs of high-functioning anxiety (HFA). People with HFA may seem fine on the outside, but inside, they feel stressed and worried.(你可能很有条理，工作努力，能在压力下保持冷静——这些都是你引以为傲甚至被称赞的品质。但这些相同的特征可能是高功能焦虑（HFA）的征兆。患有HFA的人表面上看起来很好，但内心却感到压力和担忧。)”描述了高功能焦虑的一些症状，空格后“And there are tools and strategies that can help.(有一些工具和策略可以帮助你。)”说明有一些策略可以帮助人克服高功能焦虑，D选项“If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.(如果这听起来很熟悉，你并不孤单。)”说明有很多人都有这种高功能焦虑，凸显出后文所说策略的重要性，承上启下，符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 空前“We often believe that if we do everything perfectly, we’ll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals. But perfection doesn’t exist.(我们常常认为，如果我们把每件事都做得完美，我们最终会感到安全，或者实现我们的目标。但完美是不存在的。)”说明人们经常会追求完美，但是完美是不存在的，因此空格处就应该说不要追求完美，E选项“Instead of pursuing it, focus on progress.(与其追求它，不如关注进步。)”说明不要追求完美，要关注自己的进步，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 空格处是本段小标题，由空后的“People with HFA often take on too much because they struggle to say no. Therefore, setting clear limits is important. Think about what you really need, and don’t be afraid to turn down extra tasks.(患有HFA的人经常承担太多，因为他们很难说不。因此，设定明确的限制是很重要的。想想你真正需要的是什么，不要害怕拒绝额外的任务。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要设置明确的限制，A选项“Set realistic boundaries.(设定现实的界限。)”说明了要设定现实的界限，概括了本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。 【19题详解】 空后“It may seem like a waste of time when you could be working toward perfect outcomes.(当你可以朝着完美的结果努力时，这似乎是浪费时间。)”说了一种行为在高功能焦虑的人看来是浪费时间的，本段小标题是“Make time to relax.(找时间放松。)”，说明本段是要建议高功能焦虑的人注意放松，F选项“If you have HFA, you might feel guilty for resting.(如果你患有HFA，你可能会因为休息而感到内疚。)”说明高功能焦虑的人会为休息感到内疚，和后文说的“这是浪费时间”表达的意思一致，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 本段小标题是“Ask for help if needed.(需要时寻求帮助。)”，因此本段主要讲的是要寻求帮助，也就是寻求他人的支持，G选项“Getting support can really help make a meaningful difference.(获得支持确实有助于做出有意义的改变。)”说明了获得支持的好处，符合本段语境，故选G。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I drove back to my Midwestern hometown last spring, after eight years away.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在离开家乡八年后重返故里，发现小镇虽有不少变化，但某些事物依旧如初，最终领悟到家乡是铭刻在生命中、塑造内在自我的一部分。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：十年前我离开家乡去城市时，我坚信这个小镇不能给我提供更多的东西。A. desire渴望；B. belief信念，相信；C. fantasy幻想；D. principle原则。根据本句中的“that this small town could offer me nothing more”可知，作者当时持有一种明确的看法，认为小镇无法给予自己更多，这是一种主观上的“信念”。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：我渴望逃离它缓慢的节奏、熟悉的面孔和有限的机会。A. understand理解；B. enjoy享受；C. challenge挑战；D. escape逃离。根据本句中的“its slow rhythm, its familiar faces and limited chances”以及后文“I ____ bright lights and new experiences.”可知，作者当时急切地想要离开小镇，去追求城市生活，因此这里表达的是“逃离”小镇的种种。 【23题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我梦想着明亮的灯光和全新的体验。A. gave up放弃；B. heard about听说；C. dreamed of梦想；D. dealt with处理。根据前文“I was eager to ____ its slow rhythm, its familiar faces and limited chances.”可知，作者急切地想逃离小镇，再结合本句中“bright lights and new experiences”可知，这些是作者当时所向往、所“梦想”的东西。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：当我把车开进主街时，我立刻注意到了那些变化。A. noticed注意到；B. imagined想象；C. recorded记录；D. recalled回忆。根据后文“Some old family-run stores had closed, replaced by chain shops.”描述的都是家乡的变化可知，这些应是一进入主街，就能立即观察到的，作者“注意到”了这些变化。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：不过，某些事物仍然保持不变——城镇公园里那张旧木长椅，以及吹过开阔田野的柔和微风。A. unknown未知的；B. unchanged未改变的；C. unpredictable不可预测的；D. unusual不寻常的。根据本句中“Still”一词以及破折号后“the old wooden bench in the town park and the gentle wind blowing across open fields”可知，虽然有些店铺变了，但这些事物依然如旧，与看到的变化形成对比，这些是“保持不变的”。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：回忆如潮水般涌来——与朋友们的午后散步、年轻时的困惑，以及我逃离这里去追求更大天地的强烈决心。A. Expectations期望；B. Questions问题；C. Memories回忆；D. Opportunities机会。根据本句中的“afternoon walks with friends, youthful confusion, and my strong determination to run away to pursue something bigger”可知，这些都是作者过去经历过的事情，属于对往事的“回忆”。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：那时，我衡量成功的标准是我能离这里有多远。A. courage勇气；B. patience耐心；C. intelligence智力；D. success成功。根据本句中的“by how far I could get from here”可知，作者当时把离开家乡的距离作为衡量自己“成功”的标准，应是认为离得越远越成功。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：我认为身份认同是我要完全在大城市里建立的，与我的过去无关。A. identity身份认同；B. routine日常；C. friendship友谊；D. freedom自由。根据本句中的“something I would build entirely in the big city, ____ of my past”可知，作者当时认为可以在大城市里完全重新建立某种东西，且与过去无关，应是作者认为可以在城市里重塑自我身份，摆脱过去，建立一种新的“身份认同”。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我认为身份认同是我要完全在大城市里建立的，与我的过去无关。A. typical典型的；B. independent独立的；C. full充满的；D. indicative指示的。根据本句中的“something I would build entirely in the big city”可知，作者当时认为身份认同完全可以在大城市中建立，而独立于过去、不受过去影响。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：相反，一种平静的认同感笼罩了我。A. regret遗憾；B. loss失落；C. recognition认同，认识；D. achievement成就。根据前文“I did not feel sadness.”可知，作者没有感到悲伤，而是另一种平静的感受。结合后文“This town had ____ my values, my character, and the way I saw the world”可知，作者意识到家乡塑造了自己，因此这应是一种“认同感”。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：这个小镇塑造了我的价值观、我的性格以及我看世界的方式，即使我曾努力拒绝它。A. weakened削弱；B. tested测试；C. reflected反映；D. shaped塑造。根据本句中“my values, my character, and the way I saw the world”可知，家乡对作者的价值观、性格和世界观产生了深远影响，“塑造”了作者。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：这个小镇塑造了我的价值观、我的性格以及我看世界的方式，即使我曾努力拒绝它。A. reject拒绝；B. remember记得；C. explore探索；D. preserve保存。根据第三段最后一句“I thought ____ was something I would build entirely in the big city, ____ of my past.”可知，作者当时想摆脱过去，认为可以在城市里完全重新建立身份认同，与本句中“even when I tried hard to”形成呼应，表示作者曾努力“拒绝”家乡对自己的影响。 【33题详解】 考查副词。句意：我在那张旧公园长椅上坐了许久，终于明白，家不仅仅是一个你选择居住的地方。A. naturally自然地；B. merely仅仅；C. really真正地；D. regularly定期地。根据后文“It is ____ into who you are.”可知，作者领悟到家的意义更深，不只是居住地，因此空处应表达“不仅仅”之意。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：它被铭刻进你的生命里。A. carved雕刻；B. transformed转变；C. developed发展；D. forced强迫。根据本句中的“into who you are”可知，家乡的影响是深刻而持久的，如同被“雕刻”进人的内在之中，成为自我的一部分。 【35题详解】 考查连词。句意：你可能会远行千里，然而养育你的小镇依然是你内在自我的一部分，无论你喜欢与否。A. so所以；B. for因为；C. yet然而；D. or或者。根据空前后内容“You may travel thousands of miles”与“the town that raised you remains part of your inner self”之间的逻辑关系可知，前后构成转折，即无论走多远，然而家乡依然留在心中。 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。 In mid-June, volunteers gathered at Xifang Temple in Pingyao, Shanxi Province, for an architectural heritage protection workshop, which ____36____ (bring) together Generation Z youngsters from China, France and Spain.

In my opinion, it is worthwhile for young people to work as volunteer teachers in remote areas. Firstly, children in poor rural areas lack high-quality education, which volunteer teachers can help improve. They bring new ideas and open a bigger world for those kids. Besides, while serving as volunteer teachers, young people can gain precious life experience that they cannot get in cities. They will become more independent and responsible. Although the living conditions there are tough, the efforts they make will change children’s future. So I strongly support this meaningful choice. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生围绕“年轻人是否应当前往偏远地区担任支教老师”这一话题，向校英文报Youth Voice栏目投稿，阐述自己的观点和理由。 【详解】词汇积累 帮助：help → assist 支持：support →back 缺乏：lack → be short of 独立的：independent → self-reliant 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：They bring new ideas and open a bigger world for those kids. 拓展句：They bring new ideas, which can open a bigger world for those kids. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Firstly, children in poor rural areas lack high-quality education, which volunteer teachers can help improve.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Although the living conditions there are tough, the efforts they make will change children's future.（运用了although引导的让步状语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Our family was poor — that much I understood from a very young age. Father worked double shifts at the factory, and Mother cleaned houses until her back ached. They never complained, but I saw them skip meals, so my younger brother Lysander and I could eat. Lysander loved to draw. He filled every piece of paper with horses, birds, and ships. I was the practical one, buried in physics and chemistry problems, hoping for a scholarship that would lift us out of poverty. When Lysander turned fifteen, he set his heart on the city’s finest art school, which admitted only twenty students each year. The application required a portfolio (作品集) of twelve original pieces. But producing twelve masterpieces wasn’t easy. He needed to practice endlessly — drawing the same hand a hundred times, shading the same apple until it looked real enough to bite. And practice consumed materials: professional charcoal sticks, fine brushes, thick paper and high-quality paint. Each item cost more than our weekly grocery budget. Our parents could never afford such luxuries. Still, Lysander got up early every morning to draw before school. I watched him draw the same horse’s leg many times and then throw the paper away in anger. Once, I found him crying over a ruined drawing. “I’m wasting everything,” he said. “Every sheet I ruin, every brush I use up — it’s money we don’t have. I will never be good enough.” I felt so sad for him. I knew he had real talent. But talent was not enough without practice, and practice needed money. That night, I made a decision that our parents knew. The next day after school, I took a part-time job at a local grocery store: I worked from six in the evening until nine at night, and then I hurried home to do my homework. I did this three times a week. Then, one day, when I had enough, I bought the best art supplies and put them on Lysander’s desk. 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。 I lied to Lysander, “I bought them for you with my pocket money.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, upon receiving the art school’s envelope, Lysander learned the truth from Father. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I lied to Lysander, “I bought them for you with my pocket money.” He stared at me in disbelief, then threw his arms around me, eyes shining with tears. From that day on, Lysander drew with new energy, filling page after page with horses, birds, and ships. He stopped wasting paper, carefully planning each stroke. I kept working at the grocery store, exhausted but proud watching my brother chase his dream. My grades slipped slightly, yet I never regretted it — his portfolio grew into twelve breathtaking pieces. Weeks later, upon receiving the art school’s envelope, Lysander learned the truth from Father. Father had seen me leaving the grocery store one night and learned about my part-time job. Lysander opened the letter with trembling hands — he was accepted! He turned to me, sobbing, “You gave up your sleep, your scholarship time… for me?” I smiled, squeezing his shoulder. “Your talent deserves a chance; my turn will come.” That autumn, he entered art school, and I studied harder than ever, knowing our family’s burden was shared — and love had rewritten our future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在贫困家庭中，哥哥为了支持热爱画画的弟弟进入顶尖艺术学校，在杂货店打工买来专业画具，并谎称是用零花钱所买，最终弟弟凭借努力被录取，并从父亲口中得知真相，兄弟二人在爱与牺牲中共同成长的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Lysander收到画具后的反应、他从此更加专注高效地练习绘画、作品集逐渐成型，以及作者打工后虽然疲惫、成绩略有下滑但毫无怨言的心理状态。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写父亲说出作者打工的秘密、Lysander打开录取通知书的激动与震惊、他对哥哥的感激与愧疚，以及哥哥的回应，最后落脚于兄弟情深与家庭希望的主题升华。 2. 续写线索： 买画具并说谎 —— Lysander重燃信心刻苦练习 —— 打工兼顾学业成绩微降 —— 录取通知书送达父亲道出真相 —— Lysander感动落泪 —— 兄弟俩各自追梦家庭充满希望 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱某人：throw one’s arms around sb. / hug sb. / embrace sb. tightly ②打开信封：open the letter/unseal the envelope 情绪类 ①眼含热泪：eyes shining with tears/with tears glistening in eyes ②疲惫的：exhausted/drained​/worn out​ 【点睛】【高分句型1】From that day on, Lysander drew with new energy, filling page after page with horses, birds, and ships.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】That autumn, he entered art school, and I studied harder than ever, knowing our family’s burden was shared — and love had rewritten our future.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门海沧实验中学2026-2027学年上学期高三10月阶段性测试 英语 （时间：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.

How Teachers Like to Communicate With Parents These days, teachers have a wide range of communication options for reaching parents — newsletters, emails, messaging apps, phone calls, and the classic flyer or paper notice. Modern apps and platforms have allowed teachers to share videos and images, show parents student progress, and provide live updates and announcements to all the families in their class. Still, experts say teachers should be strategic about how they use tech tools to communicate with parents. For instance, they should be mindful of the fact that not every family has access to smartphones with internet access. And teachers should be clear with their expectations and boundaries for using the tools, so parents don’t always expect immediate responses after working hours. Educators voted in an informal poll (调查) about how technology has affected their communication with parents. Half of the 510 respondents said technology has helped, while 5% said it hurts their communication. Forty-five percent said it has pros and cons. Here are some of their responses. “Proof of documentation sent. If they choose not to read it or respond, not my problem. There is no more, ‘he said, she said’.” Elle M. “No more miscommunication. All papers are saved for parents, students, admin, and teachers. Yes, we had homework. Yes, they were given due dates well in advance. Work was submitted? [Show] me on your computer.” Phil K. “I think parents pay more attention when I hand their child a piece of paper. I can send so many reminders electronically and still have parents not pay attention. We have alarms and calendars on our phones, and we avoid using them.” Christina W. “Parents still don’t read emails and still only read and respond to text messages. It’s amazing that we haven’t figured this out.” Shawn R. 1. What do experts suggest teachers do when using tech tools to communicate with parents? A. Make instant responses. B. Set communication rules. C. Provide personalized visuals. D. Recommend smartphone apps. 2. What do both Elle M. and Phil K. value most about digital communication with parents? A. Higher efficiency. B. Reduced paper use. C. Improved accountability. D. Greater parent engagement. 3. Which form of communication does Cristina W. find most effective? A. Phone calls. B. Text messages. C. Paper notes. D. Email reminders. B I sat on the sidelines with my 14-year-old son, Nathan, who was hardly enthusiastic to be at a community Christmas party for little kids. He was too old to care about Santa, the guest of honor. Meanwhile, Santa was being surrounded by the excited children. “Look, Nathan,” I gave him a little push. “Mrs. Claus is trying to get your attention.” Unwillingly, he followed me over. “What do you want for Christmas?” Mrs. Claus asked him. “Well, I like Legos, and I need a new tennis racket. But what I really can’t wait for is a 3D printer.” Nathan wanted to start an online business making cell phone cases. Mrs. Claus brightened. “My grandkids are clamoring for a 3D printer too. They have a pet duck named Tim, who’s missing a leg. The grandkids want to make Tim a prosthetic (假肢) and attach it with a Velcro strap (魔术贴).” “Cool project,” Nathan said. He thought for a minute. “I’ll make him one for free, but it won’t be ready for Christmas. My parents and I worked out a deal. They’re going to invest in my business with a loan, but I have to save up some of the money myself. I’ll make Tim’s leg as soon as I can afford a printer.” Two weeks later, Nathan opened his 3D printer. His eyes lit up. After weeks of practice, Nathan made his first plastic leg for Tim, but the strap didn’t hold when the duck moved. Nathan didn’t give up. He made a second one.This time, Tim flapped (拍打) his wings and made loud noises when they put it on. The third one worked better — Tim took a few steps. The grandkids cheered, happy that Tim could finally experience what it was like to walk on two legs. This Christmas, Nathan’s 3D printer brought more than tech skills — it brought the joy of helping. We’d made an excellent investment. 4. What can we learn about Nathan from the first two paragraphs? A. He was helping organize the event. B. He enjoyed playing with little kids. C. He wasn’t interested in the Christmas party. D. He was surrounded by enthusiastic children. 5. What does the underlined word “clamoring” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Begging. B. Searching. C. Preparing. D. Trading. 6. Why did Nathan offer to make Tim’s prosthetic leg for free? A. He wanted to impress Mrs. Claus. B. He saw it as a business opportunity. C. He cared more about helping than profiting. D. He was confident in his 3D printing abilities. 7. What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A. The 3D printing’s technical limits. B. The duck’s cheerful walking experience. C. The perfect solution for animal disabilities. D. The challenges of perfecting the prosthetic. C In the UK, there are more and more sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and similar types of large cars on the streets. Cars are getting bigger, and that is a problem. It makes sense that larger cars are more dangerous if they run you over. Their fronts are taller than other cars’ and this is bad news for cyclists and pedestrians if one of these cars hits you. Cars are also getting wider — a trend known as “carspreading”. There is only so much road space, and more of it being taken up by cars means there is less of it for people cycling or using other modes of transport. The extra size of these cars also makes for more air pollution. Even if SUVs are electric, fine particles (颗粒) from tyres and brakes are now major sources of pollution in urban air. As SUVs are heavier than other cars, they tend to produce more tyre and brake particles, so we don’t see the same clean air benefits from electric SUVs as we do from smaller electric cars. So what can we do to make fewer of these large, dangerous, high-emission SUVs? Here are a few suggestions. There are now clean-air zones in some big cities. These stimulate people to think about pollution from older cars, although they aren’t directed at vehicle size. This is changing in the UK, however, as Cardiff Council in October approved plans to charge the owners of SUVs and larger cars more for residential parking permits. As well as parking regulations, national governments could consider changes to vehicle taxes, for instance, to encourage smaller cars. Taxing large vehicles more would be in line with their cost to society through road danger and pollution. Some people have reasons to need a larger car. But now that around half of new car sales are SUVs, we need to be clear about the dangers they bring. 8. What is a concern about large vehicles? A. They cause more traffic jams. B. They distract other road users. C. They block smaller cars from view. D. They increase injury risk in an accident. 9. How does the author explain the pollution problem of SUVs in Paragraph 3? A. By quoting experts’ opinions. B. By giving drivers’ personal stories. C. By providing statistics on vehicle pollution. D. By linking vehicle weight to particle pollution. 10. What approach is central to the suggested solutions? A. Increasing ownership costs. B. Upgrading parking facilities. C. Providing government funds. D. Launching media campaigns. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Going Electric B. Running Out of Road C. The Comeback of SUVs D. Why Cars Keep Getting Bigger D Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems. Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data. One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation. Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful.

Father worked double shifts at the factory, and Mother cleaned houses until her back ached. They never complained, but I saw them skip meals, so my younger brother Lysander and I could eat. Lysander loved to draw. He filled every piece of paper with horses, birds, and ships. I was the practical one, buried in physics and chemistry problems, hoping for a scholarship that would lift us out of poverty. When Lysander turned fifteen, he set his heart on the city’s finest art school, which admitted only twenty students each year. The application required a portfolio (作品集) of twelve original pieces. But producing twelve masterpieces wasn’t easy. He needed to practice endlessly — drawing the same hand a hundred times, shading the same apple until it looked real enough to bite. And practice consumed materials: professional charcoal sticks, fine brushes, thick paper and high-quality paint. Each item cost more than our weekly grocery budget. Our parents could never afford such luxuries. Still, Lysander got up early every morning to draw before school. I watched him draw the same horse’s leg many times and then throw the paper away in anger. Once, I found him crying over a ruined drawing. “I’m wasting everything,” he said. “Every sheet I ruin, every brush I use up — it’s money we don’t have. I will never be good enough.” I felt so sad for him. I knew he had real talent. But talent was not enough without practice, and practice needed money. That night, I made a decision that our parents knew. The next day after school, I took a part-time job at a local grocery store: I worked from six in the evening until nine at night, and then I hurried home to do my homework. I did this three times a week. Then, one day, when I had enough, I bought the best art supplies and put them on Lysander’s desk. 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。 I lied to Lysander, “I bought them for you with my pocket money.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, upon receiving the art school’s envelope, Lysander learned the truth from Father. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
