Here we spotlight four renowned landmarks to uncover their stories. The Lake District The Lake District is England’s largest National Park. Stretching across the North-West, it’s home to the nation’s highest mountains and deepest lakes. This district is very famous for its food. There are seven Michelin-starred restaurants. Besides, cosy, traditional and hearty pubs are plentiful in the popular towns. The romance and charm of the lakes have inspired many lake poets in their creativity. The Roman Baths The Roman Baths are one of the finest examples of preserved ancient thermal springs in the world, and the only official hot spring in Britain. During the Roman Invasion in 50 CE, they dedicated the spring to a healing goddess. Rich or poor, they thought this spring would rid (消除，摆脱) them of their illness, believing it to be blessed by the Goddess. Westminster Palace and Big Ben The most iconic architectural structures of not only London but the whole of the UK are Westminster Palace and Big Ben. It was originally built as a royal palace about 1000 years ago. During Henry VIII’s reign, he gave it over to parliament. Big Ben has enormous cultural significance for Britain. Its clock rings are broadcast on television every New Year’s Eve to count down and welcome the New Year. Stonehenge Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric (史前) monuments. It was built 5000 years ago as a ditch (沟渠) and an earthwork, and the stones now stand within it. In the 1960s, an astronomer theorized that it might be a calendar since you could see the perfect view of the summer sunrise hitting the stones. People will not fully understand it until they are bathed in its remarkable mystery. 21. What is a highlight of the Lake District? A. Ancient royal buildings. B. Ancient thermal springs. C. Top-ranked restaurants. D. Huge stone monuments. 22. Why did ancient people value the Roman Baths? A. It acted as a royal palace. B. It relieved physical pains. C. It served as a time tool. D. It inspired many lake poets. 23. Which one has the longest history? A. The Lake District. B. The Roman Baths. C. Westminster Palace. D. Stonehenge. B At 60, I finally decided to pursue a dream that I had ignored for decades: traveling solo along Australia’s western coast. For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict (冲突) appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and fear are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security (安全), yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine (多巴胺), the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 24. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 25. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 26. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Steady routines offer a sense of security. D. Prioritize security over adventure. C Many college professors feel puzzled: though they set aside regular office hours to provide all kinds of help along students’ life journey, such as answering questions, offering guidance and brainstorming ideas, few students actually turn up. In fact, office hours have become one of the most valuable but seriously underused educational resources for college undergraduates. Students’ unwillingness to attend these sessions mainly arises from their psychological anxiety. Most students fear asking basic questions and appearing ignorant before professional professors. They also feel guilty about taking up professors’ spare time and feel awkward communicating face to face with unfamiliar professors. Additionally, a common misunderstanding holds that office hours are only for low-performing students. Influenced by this false belief, many excellent students deliberately give up this valuable chance. Besides mental barriers, practical difficulties also keep students from using office hours. Modern students live with tight daily schedules. Courses, part-time jobs, and various campus activities leave them little free time to match professors’ fixed hours. Worse still, quite a few students do not even know when office hours are held, as they never bother to check the course syllabus (教学大纲) or class website. Such mistakes require immediate correction. To improve the situation, some professors provide virtual office hours for more flexible choices, remind students of available time via emails, and encourage group visits to reduce students’ unease. Along with these efforts from professors, schools still strongly encourage active participation. The value of office hours should never be ignored. Accessible to all students, professors offer feedback (反馈) on essay drafts and sound guidance on further study and career planning. Regular visitors can deepen their understanding of textbook knowledge and develop genuine bonds with professors, which helps them gain valuable recommendation letters for further education or job hunting. In reality, making full use of office hours is not a sign of weakness but a smart way to take control of one’s college studies. 28. What are office hours intended for? A. Offering all-round guidance. B. Giving advice on part-time jobs. C. Organizing campus activities. D. Evaluating students’ performance. 29. What does “ignorant” underlined in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Disappointed. B. Thoughtful. C. Overlooked. D. Unknowledgeable. 30. What adjustments do professors make to office hours? A. Providing online service. B. Easing students’ study burden. C. Adding group discussion. D. Increasing in-person meetings. 31. What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A. Benefits of office talks. B. Varieties of teachers’ duties. C. College spare-time plans. D. Office-hour troubles and fixes. D Used in fast food packaging, long-lasting chemicals called PFAS can get into food and build up in our bodies. A new study found that after 24 hours, people who ate fast food consistently showed an increase in PFAS in their blood. Unlike other pollutants (污染物), PFAS can exist for years, meaning regular fast food consumption adds more to the body. PFAS refers to a class of chemicals used to make objects water or fire resistant. A 2017 study of 400 wrappers found that more than half of bread and dessert wrappers contained the chemical, as did nearly 40% of sandwich and burger wrappers. The chemical has such a bad reputation for its inability to break down that it is often called a “forever chemical”. “Food is just one source of exposure,” says Laurel Schadier, an environmental engineer. PFAS is also commonly found in paint, carpeting and clothing. However, she adds, “We’re not able to link a certain rate of fast food intake with harmful health effects.” Illustrating (证明，阐明) a measurable health impact from eating five burgers with PFAS a week compared to just one is difficult because the chemicals are so common. Rolf Halden, an environmental health expert, says the study shows a clear link between fast food and PFAS consumption, but he worries more about the overall abundance (数量，大量) of PFAS in consumer goods. “I am less interested in the aspect of popcorn and fast food but more fascinated that we see 70 percent of the U.S. population is getting exposed to chemicals that cannot degrade (分解),” he says. In addition to unknown health consequences, Schadier notes environmental concerns when PFAS is thrown away. Tap water serving 7.5 million Californians tested positive for the pollutant. While Washington and San Francisco have limited PFAS in food containers, Denmark recently became the first country to ban it entirely from food packaging. Of the study results, Halden adds: “It would be foolish to think what’s here is the complete exposure to PFAS. That is much larger and still growing more complex.” 32. How does fast food relate to PFAS consumption according to the study? A. Fast food contains more PFAS than other food does. B. It is fast food that leads to the consumption of PFAS. C. PFAS are widely present in fast food packaging materials. D. The more fast food we eat, the more PFAS gets in our blood. 33. What makes PFAS known as a “forever chemical”? A. It can never break down naturally. B. It is widely used in fast food packaging. C. It is found in paint, carpeting and clothing. D. It can make objects water and fire resistant. 34. Which of the following statements would Halden most likely agree with? A. PFAS exposure is limited to the U.S. population. B. The study’s findings fully explain all PFAS exposure risks. C. Denmark’s ban on PFAS in food packaging is unnecessary. D. Fast food is a minor issue compared to the widespread use of PFAS. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To warn American people against eating fast food. B. To suggest banning all chemicals from food packaging. C. To prove that PFAS is more harmful than other pollutants. D. To introduce a chemical called PFAS and its possible risks. 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最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 What’s social jet lag (社交时差)? Social jet lag occurs when you stay up later and then sleep in later on weekends than you do on weekdays. Changing the hours that you sleep from day to day affects your body’s natural internal clock. Social jet lag affects the body similarly to travel jet lag. When you shift your sleeping hours, your body feels as if it were in a different time zone. 36 _____________ For example, if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning, you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night. This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime. 37 ____________________________ Yet, frequently changing your body’s internal clock doesn’t just cause daytime sleepiness. 38 ____________________________________ Social jet lag has been linked with several chronic (慢性的) health problems. Changes in internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (循环) system and raise the risk of heart disease. Individuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep. Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag. 39 ____________________________________ A 2019 study found that when participants kept their sleep and wake-up times within 15 to 30 minutes of the same time each day, they reported better sleep, less depression, and less stress. Study participants were also able to improve their cognitive reaction time scores. 40 ____________________________________ If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends, it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one. While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day, you will likely notice the health benefits right away. A. It can significantly impact your health as well. B. This can make falling and staying asleep difficult. C. Moreover, establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial. D. Adjust your sleep schedule, and everything will be OK. E. This likely makes waking up early on Monday morning difficult. F. Aim to go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends. G.

As the third runner, his problem was to catch the stick smoothly from the second runner and pass it to Jake, the final runner. In their first practice, Tom messed up the pass to Jake repeatedly — sometimes too early, making Jake slow down suddenly, sometimes too late, causing Jake to miss the passing zone. These mistakes ruined their teamwork. After the practice ended, Jake stormed over to Tom. “Your careless and unsteady passes will make us lose the game!” he shouted angrily. Tom hung his head low and felt fully responsible for the messy practice. He even thought about quitting the relay team to focus on running races alone, because the pressure of cooperating with teammates was so uncomfortable compared to the freedom of running alone. Jake turned away in anger without saying another word, barely ignoring the coach who walked over to try to calm both of them down. The next day, the coach gathered the team for stick-passing practice. “I know you’re upset,” he said gently, “but relay races need teamwork and trust — that’s the key to smooth passes.” To make it feel like a real competition, he set up game-like situations with teammates cheering nearby. He taught them to keep a steady speed, make eye contact, adjust their pace to match each other, and use simple hand signals. The repeated practice helped improve their performance. Tom grew confident and Jake gave him encouraging nods. A week of intense training passed, and the relay competition arrived. Tom felt a little nervous. Before the race, the team gathered, and the coach told them to believe in each other and stay calm. Jake patted Tom on the shoulder firmly, “I trust you. We’ve practised enough.” Tom nodded, turning nervousness into motivation. At the sound of the starting gun, all runners shot out. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, the stick was coming to Tom. ______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the narrow win, the coach came over to Tom. ___________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 集萃校区高二上学期 第一次校内学情检测答案 阅读A：CBD 阅读B：CBDA 阅读C：ADAA 阅读D：CADD 七选五：BEACF 完形：41—45 DABCD；46—50 ADCAB；51—55 CBDBA 一、听力原文及答案 1.

Personally, I’d choose “Tell China’s stories in English” rather than the English Poetry Contest. Not only can we practice our spoken English, but we can also spread Chinese culture. We are able to share traditional folk tales and stories about our heroes. It can deepen our understanding of our own culture as well. I hope my suggestion will be helpful. Yours, Li Hua Dear Mr. Brown, I’m writing to share my idea about the English-themed activities. I would like to recommend the English Poetry Contest. Reading and creating poems allows us to feel the beauty of English language. We can enjoy different styles of poems and appreciate the rhythm. Besides, it will develop our interest in English literature. I think it will be a wonderful activity for us students. Yours, Li Hua 67．读后续写参考范文 范文一 Soon, the stick was coming to Tom. Focusing all his attention, Tom adjusted his speed according to what they had practised. He made eye contact with the former runner and caught the stick smoothly. Then he rushed forward as fast as he could. Soon it was time to pass the stick to Jake. Keeping calm, Tom gave the hand signal they learned. Jake responded instantly and received the stick perfectly. Jake dashed towards the finish line, competing with other runners fiercely. After the narrow win, the coach came over to Tom. He patted Tom’s shoulder with a big smile, praising his wonderful teamwork. Tom looked at Jake. They exchanged big grins, all the former anger gone. Tom realized that relay race was never a one-man show. Only with trust, repeated practice and good teamwork could the whole team achieve success. 范文二 Soon, the stick was coming to Tom. With his heart pounding wildly against his chest, Tom steeled himself for the crucial handover. He slowed slightly as practiced, reaching out and catching the stick without the slightest shake. No sooner had he sped up than he spotted Jake waiting ahead, ready to receive. Competitors were hot on their heels, every stride pushing the race to its climax. Having exchanged a silent encouraging glance, they finished the pass flawlessly amid roaring cheers. After the narrow win, the coach came over to Tom. What amazed the coach most was how Tom turned past anxiety into steady performance. Jake wrapped an arm around Tom, apologizing for his rude words during the practice. Tom shook his head, knowing all the hard training had paid off at last. The joy of victory washed away all his previous worry and self-doubt. Only through teamwork and mutual trust could they overcome difficulties and achieve the impossible. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
