Before your trip, you need to make careful arrangements. The following tips can help you avoid common travel troubles. Pick your accommodation wisely. Khao San Road, full of hostels, is popular with backpackers. However, it is extremely noisy and crowded day and night. If you want a more authentic local experience, consider renting a flat in Phra Kanong. This area has unique street markets for local people. Though it is distant from major tourist sites, the Skytrain nearby can take you to the Grand Palace within 20 minutes. Choose proper transport Heavy traffic jams often trouble travelers. Taking a taxi may waste your sightseeing time. To visit ancient riverside temples, take an express boat. Moving at a steady speed, it provides fantastic views along the river. For city-centre destinations, the Skytrain is your best choice, keeping you away from street jams. Practical reminder Thai street food is well-known for its special tastes. Besides, prepare some small-value cash, because many street-side shops cannot accept credit cards. 1. What can we know about Phra Kanong? A. It provides free street-food for foreign visitors. B. Tourists can rent flats there for local-style experience. C. Most famous ancient temples are located in this area. D. Travelers can take taxis to avoid the Skytrain there. 2. What transport is recommended for visiting riverside temples? A. A taxi B. The Skytrain C. An express boat D. A private car 3. Where might this passage be taken from? A. A science report. B. A travel magazine. C. A travel diary. D. A geography textbook. B When 72-year-old Martha moved to a new housing estate, she felt lonely. Most of her old friends lived far away, and she barely knew her neighbors. Her small garden was empty, but she had little energy to look after plants on her own. One day, a young man called Leo knocked at her door. He was a local volunteer studying plant science. His group’s project connected elderly residents with university students. Students would come to help with garden work, and the old people could share life stories in return. Martha hesitated for a moment and finally accepted the offer. At first, Martha worried she had nothing valuable to pass on. However, things turned out differently. While they pulled weeds and planted flowers, Martha talked about her childhood in the countryside. She described traditional planting skills she had learned from her grandma. Leo and his teammates listened with great interest. Gradually, colour filled Martha’s once-empty garden. More importantly, loneliness no longer troubled her. The project grew popular. Other seniors in the neighbourhood joined in. Some taught home-cooking tricks, while others shared hand-making skills. For these elderly people, the value lay not only in improved gardens but in being heard. Many young volunteers also gained unexpected rewards. Through communication, they learned to respect the life experience of the older generation. “Volunteering is not all about giving help to the weak,” Martha said in an interview. “True communication works both ways.” 4. Why did Martha feel lonely after moving? A. Her garden took too much of her energy. B. She was short of connections with people around. C. She missed her countryside hometown badly. D. No volunteers came to her housing estate. 5. What was the purpose of Leo’s project? A. To train university students to become garden experts. B. To improve the housing estate’s public park. C. To build links between the elderly and student volunteers. D. To collect old-time planting skills for research. 6. What does the underlined phrase “turned out differently” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Things developed not as Martha had expected. B. The garden looked quite different from others. C. Martha changed her attitude towards gardening. D. The project produced completely opposite results. 7. What message does the story mainly convey? A. Gardening can greatly improve old people’s physical health. B. The elderly should pass down traditional skills to the public. C. Volunteers should devote more time to community gardening. D. Mutual communication matters in volunteer activities. C Great academic pressure and social worries often leave high school students feeling anxious and tired. While people have long believed that outdoor nature benefits mental health, a new Japanese study suggests that relief can be much simpler than expected — even a short look at a desk plant can effectively reduce teenagers’ stress. In the study, researchers invited 85 high school students to take part in a controlled experiment. Each student was asked to stay relaxed and look at a green plant for three minutes. The research team recorded their heart rates and their emotional state both before and after the simple task. The results showed that most students’ heart rates dropped obviously, and they reported less anxiety and greater comfort after watching the green plants for a short time. According to researchers, green plants can activate the body’s natural relaxation system, which helps balance physical tension caused by pressure. Since teenagers’ nervous systems are still developing, they are more sensitive to negative emotions than adults. As a result, small changes in their visual environment can produce noticeable mental effects. One impressive finding is that the improvement requires little time or effort. Even during tight school schedules, a three-minute break is enough for students to restore inner calm and regain energy. Though plants cannot remove stress completely, they provide an easy, low-cost way for teenagers to adjust their mood. The study reminds us that the simplest things in life can play a valuable role in keeping our mental health. 8. What is the key finding of the Japanese study? A. Outdoor activities are necessary for students’ mental health. B. Watching green plants for a short time lowers teens’ stress. C. Teenagers are more anxious than adults in daily life. D. Heart rates can show one’s physical condition clearly. 9. What did researchers do in the experiment? A. They compared students’ moods with adults’. B. They asked students to look after plants carefully. C. They tracked students’ physical and mental changes. D. They asked students to finish relaxing tasks daily. 10. What does the underlined word “restore” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. give up B. get back C. give away D. take over 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a stress-relief way supported by a study. B. To encourage students to develop a hobby of growing plants. C. To show teenagers suffer from serious pressure at school. D. To stress the importance of keeping a regular schedule. D When the sun goes down, countless night-active animals come out to hunt, mate or migrate (迁徙). For millions of years, they have depended on natural darkness and starlight to guide their behaviour. However, man-made light from street-lamps, billboards and high-rise buildings is breaking this ancient natural balance, giving rise to serious light pollution. Light pollution causes direct, visible disasters for some species. Newly-born baby sea turtles, for example, are supposed to move toward the shining ocean under moonlight. Confused by bright lights from coastal hotels, many baby turtles head inland instead. Without seawater, they become easy targets for enemies and may die from heat and tiredness. Migratory birds face similar trouble: city lights mislead them, resulting in deadly crashes against glass walls of high-rise buildings. Yet much of the harm cannot be seen, for it happens inside animals’ bodies. Man-made light disturbs animals’ natural body clocks, which control body chemicals, sleep and reproduction. A research on tammar wallabies (短尾矮袋鼠) found that bright night-time light cut their production of melatonin, a key body chemical related to sleep. As a result, their birth timing changed one whole month out of step with seasonal food supplies. Such small changes may slowly put the whole animal group in danger. Light pollution also reshapes predator-prey relationships. Owls, natural night hunters, struggle to catch food under bright lights, while some small animals dare to look for food in open areas. The broken balance can produce chain-like influences across the entire food web. Light pollution draws little people’s attention, compared with other forms of pollution. But as more studies show, protecting natural darkness plays an important part in keeping earth’s biodiversity. 12. Why do lots of newly-born baby sea turtles die? A. They cannot reach the ocean because of coastal man-made light. B. Rising ocean temperature puts their lives in great danger. C. There are too many natural enemies living in the ocean. D. Moonlight disappears on the nights when they hatch. 13. What change happens to tammar wallabies under night-time light? A. They stop producing the melatonin completely. B. Their birth time no longer matches seasonal food resources. C. They begin to give birth to more baby wallabies than before. D. They choose to move away from their original living places. 14. What can we imply from the passage? A. Light pollution’s harm can be seen in every animal species. B. Migratory birds prefer to fly over brightly-lit coastal cities. C. People tend to pay less attention to light pollution than other pollution. D. Protecting darkness has already become a worldwide popular movement. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Various kinds of serious environmental pollution on Earth. B. Different ways light pollution does harm to wild animals. C. Practical methods to reduce light pollution in modern cities. D. Why night-active animals depend heavily on natural starlight. 第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people think gardening belongs only to the countryside, but urban gardening is becoming popular among city people.

No one could imagine how much he missed his dad. He breathed in the glove’s warm, leathery smell. The car stopped outside the baseball field. “Hey, buddy (伙计), have fun at practice. And don’t forget about your sister’s dancing performance tonight,” said Jonah’s stepfather, Steve, as Jonah climbed out. Zoe was not my sister, and you couldn’t tell me what to do, Jonah complained in his mind. Since Mom married Steve a few months ago, Jonah had a lot of mixed-up feelings. He could hardly concentrate. Even baseball 一what he always loved — felt different lately. After practice, Jonah and David, his best friend, sat together and waited for their ride. Jonah expressed how he wished things hadn’t changed and that he could still be with his own dad, not a stepfather. David comforted Jonah it was no big deal. “I have a stepmother and stepbrother too,” David smiled, “They’re just Mom and Dennis now. Give it a chance.” Jonah let out a breath, still unsure about the performance tonight. Still unsure about everything! Back at the apartment, Jonah found Zoe in her costume, but something was wrong. Her arms tight across her chest, her eyes were filled with tears. Wondering what was up, Jonah asked Mom, who explained Zoe was just too nervous to go on stage. Huh! This should have been the best thing that could have happened — the possibility of not going to the performance. But somehow it wasn’t. Zoe had practiced so hard. She’d reminded Jonah at least a thousand times where she would be onstage. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 100 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Having thought twice, Jonah went forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 梦麟中学2026学年10月质量检测高一英语试卷 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.

He felt the trembling in her fingers and knew she was really scared. But he also felt something else — a sense of determination. “I know you’re nervous, but you’ve worked so hard for this. You’re going to be amazing,” he said, trying to sound as confident as he could. Zoe looked up at him, her eyes still filled with tears but also a spark of hope. “You really think so?” she asked. “Of course I do,” Jonah replied, giving her a reassuring smile. “Now, let’s go show them what you’ve got.” With that, Jonah helped Zoe stand up and they walked out the door, ready to face the stage together. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
