Her parents ended her education when she was 15 to prepare her for marriage and work. Decades later, at her son’s new high school, she joined a book club for immigrant parents. Maria’s early hesitation turned into enthusiasm shortly after she attended the book club meetings, where she and 15 other Latina mothers passionately discussed novels. Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading. Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level. Over time, the group grew to a core of 15 regular members, mostly mothers, who proudly call themselves lifelong learners. The book club meetings are an extension of the parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The book club often discusses stories that provide a valuable reference for family life. For example, The Diary of a Young Girl inspired perseverance, while Rain of Gold sparked deep discussions about family and tradition. Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community. The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning. Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education. At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future. 24. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially? A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent. C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability. 25. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club? A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills. C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents. 26. How do students benefit from the book club? A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success. C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities. 27. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role. C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference. C Electric vehicles (EVs) are often billed as a clean fix for transport emissions. But their success comes with a catch: an approaching wave of retired batteries. Global EV sales topped 17 million in 2024, and demand for battery capacity is set to triple by 2030. Since a typical battery lasts eight to twelve years, a huge number of packs will soon reach the end of their useful life. By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. These batteries are not harmless waste. They are classified as hazardous in many countries. If landfilled, they can release poisonous chemicals into soil and groundwater. If damaged or stored carelessly, they may catch fire through “thermal runaway”, a chain reaction that generates intense heat and poisonous fumes. Such fires are notoriously hard to extinguish. The risks fall hardest on workers in informal recycling sectors, who often lack proper training and protective gear. Yet an expired EV battery is far from dead. Most retain 70-80% of their original capacity and could be repurposed for stationary energy storage. The real obstacle is institutional. Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. In the U.S., recycling remains largely voluntary, and much battery waste is shipped abroad, shifting environmental risks to other countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) offers a way forward. Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. The EU, India and China have adopted some form of EPR; New Jersey has led a few U.S. states. Such laws can set collection targets, ban landfill disposal, require public information and even demand recycled minerals in new batteries. But EPR is no silver bullet. Producers may pass costs onto consumers, raising EV prices and slowing adoption. Weak enforcement could allow used batteries to be stockpiled or exported. The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. Only then can retired batteries be managed safely and kept within a transparent, circular system. 28. Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn of EV fire risks.  B. To indicate EV popularity. C. To highlight EV waste scale.  D. To emphasize EV battery weight. 29. What does “an orphan battery” reveal? A. A gap in end-of-life duty.  B. A rise in informal recycling. C. A success of voluntary programs.  D. A failure of recycling technology. 30. What is the core idea of EPR? A. Waste exports must be limited.  B. Collection targets are set by law. C. Recycling costs fall on consumers.  D. Producers bear life-cycle responsibility. 31. What is the author’s key suggestion for EPR? A. Avoiding slower EV adoption. B. Ensuring sound planning and global cooperation. C. Preventing cost shifts onto EV buyers. D. Strengthening enforcement of existing EPR laws. D Locating water ice on the Moon has become a central goal of future exploration, particularly within the deep, frozen shadows of the lunar south polar craters (陨石坑). Buried ice is considered one of the most valuable resources for long-term space missions, as it can be melted for drinking water, split into oxygen for breathing, and processed into hydrogen for rocket fuel. However, identifying the exact location, thickness, and reserves of this underground ice remains a significant challenge. Traditional orbital remote sensing allows scientists to scan the lunar surface from space, but these methods can only detect the topmost layer of soil. To investigate what lies deeper, a team of geologists from the University of Maryland and partner institutions has proposed a novel approach: using moonquakes to map buried ice. Their study, published in Science Advances, suggests that seismic (地震的) waves — the same vibrations measured during earthquakes — can serve as a powerful underground detection tool. The approach could work in that frozen and dry soils respond very differently to seismic waves. Ice acts like a natural cement, hardening the surrounding soil and allowing vibrations to travel two to three times faster than they would through dry dust. Additionally, ice-rich zones cause seismic energy to bounce back rather than pass through, creating distinct signals similar to an echo. By analyzing these unique wave patterns with a seismometer (地震仪), researchers can not only confirm the presence of ice but also estimate its approximate quantity. To test their theory, the team employed three distinct methods. They froze volcanic rocks that imitate lunar dust, modeled detailed temperature maps of the south polar region, and ran computer simulations of small moonquakes. In every case, the ice left clear and measurable marks on the seismic data. China’s Chang’e-7 mission, scheduled to land near Shackleton Crater, will carry a seismometer to put these predictions to the test. This innovative technique could provide a crucial foundation for future lunar base construction and our understanding of how water was delivered to the early solar system. 32. What role will the buried ice play in long-term space missions? A. A transportation means.  B. A research material. C. A life-sustaining resource.  D. A source for lunar data. 33. What is the drawback of orbital remote sensing when locating buried ice on the Moon? A. Inability to detect deep enough. B. High cost with low efficiency. C. Over-dependence on temperature. D. Capture of immeasurable marks. 34. What is the function of the third paragraph? A. A hook to attract a wider audience. B. An introduction to moonquake study. C. A turn to present a new detector. D. An explanation for the underlying principle. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward the seismometer approach? A. Skeptical and cautious.  B. Objective and expectant. C. Admiring and convinced.  D. Confused and uncertain. 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。 If you ask people how today’s children are doing, you will likely get an earful of complaints and concerns. Many believe that children today are less resilient, less empathetic, and less mentally healthy than previous generations. Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis, and many parents quietly worry about the future. ____36____ Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations. Their basic literacy (素养) and curiosity have improved. They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago. ____37____ Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities. ____38____ Many factors are probably at play, but experts believe that changes in parenting and educational styles could be an important driver. One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. “Over the past 15 years of clinical work, many young children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,” says Tracy, a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, more schools have introduced social and emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control. What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. ____39____ Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. “It can make them more thoughtful, conscious citizens,” Konrath says. So why does the negative view of young people remain so common? One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats. Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive, which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news. Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. ____40____ Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. A. The big question is why. B. They are more willing to offer help, too. C. Yet the recent research tells a different story. D. There is no doubt that social media poses risks. E. Older generations were clearly happier and healthier. F. They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs. G. Whatever the reason, the negative view rarely matches reality. 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。 I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was ____41____ confident.

On the finals day, I felt ____46____ about showcasing my skills, but the reality was different. My ____47____ from practices had created tension within the team, and our cooperation was poor, ____48____ even our supporters. My speech lacked coherence, and the judges’ ____49____ looks brought me close to tears, and I realized the stupidity of my arrogance (傲慢). Overwhelmed by the possibility of losing, never before had I felt so ____50____. Then, a ____51____ hand touched mine — my teammate whom I had insulted. She ____52____ to me that it was okay, making me feel worse. My other teammates comforted me, despite my deserving punishment for ____53____ us the title. I kept apologizing, feeling worse as they ____54____ my irresponsibility.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省武汉中学2026-2027学年度高二上学期期中质量检测 英 语 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers most probably?

When health problems temporarily took Maxine out of the field, Mr. Reisberg teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization, to give shelter dogs a day in the city. It was a friend who suggested Mr. Reisberg make videos with shelter dogs to promote adoption. Best Friends Animal Society has several shelters that accept pets from across the country. In New York, it works with Animal Care Centers of NYC, whose shelters are struggling with overcrowding. In July, Animal Care Centers of NYC stopped taking pets. Nationwide, dogs spent an average of 32 days in a shelter before being adopted. On July 10th, Mr. Reisberg posted his first video, which showed the adventures with Axl, a 10-month-old puppy. On July 19th, Axl was adopted by a woman who saw the video and drove from Virginia to give him a new home. Since these videos started, Best Friends Animal Society has had 100 more adoptions, particularly large dogs that “aren’t typically city dogs”. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A WELCOME TO THE LOUVRE The origin of the Louvre dates back to the 1200s.

Her parents ended her education when she was 15 to prepare her for marriage and work. Decades later, at her son’s new high school, she joined a book club for immigrant parents. Maria’s early hesitation turned into enthusiasm shortly after she attended the book club meetings, where she and 15 other Latina mothers passionately discussed novels. Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading. Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level. Over time, the group grew to a core of 15 regular members, mostly mothers, who proudly call themselves lifelong learners. The book club meetings are an extension of the parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The book club often discusses stories that provide a valuable reference for family life. For example, The Diary of a Young Girl inspired perseverance, while Rain of Gold sparked deep discussions about family and tradition. Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community. The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning. Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education. At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future. 24. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially? A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent. C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability. 25. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club? A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills. C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents. 26. How do students benefit from the book club? A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success. C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities. 27. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role. C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是校长Torres Flores创办移民家长读书俱乐部。原本缺乏阅读能力的家长参与其中，收获成长；家长在家养成阅读习惯，进而影响孩子，让孩子受益，实现家校共赢。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level.(起初，和Maria一样，只有少数家长加入俱乐部，他们怀疑自己能否进行高水平阅读。)”可知，玛丽亚最初对加入读书俱乐部感到犹豫的原因是她认为读书俱乐部超出了自己的阅读能力。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading.(读书俱乐部由校长托雷斯·弗洛雷斯创办。她注意到，家长的参与直接影响学生对阅读的态度。)”可知，托雷斯创办读书俱乐部的主要目的是加强家长的榜样作用。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies.(研究表明，在家中拥有书籍对孩子的学业有积极影响。)”可知，学生从读书俱乐部中能获得的好处是能够取得更大的学业成就。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future.(对这些家长而言，读书俱乐部远不止是一个阅读团体，它影响着他们的孩子，也支持着他们的未来。)”可知，本文主要讲的是校长Torres Flores创办移民家长读书俱乐部。原本缺乏阅读能力的家长参与其中，收获成长；家长在家养成阅读习惯，进而影响孩子，让孩子受益，实现家校共赢，因此本文的主题是B选项“Parental influence plays a vital role.(家长的影响至关重要。)”。 C Electric vehicles (EVs) are often billed as a clean fix for transport emissions. But their success comes with a catch: an approaching wave of retired batteries. Global EV sales topped 17 million in 2024, and demand for battery capacity is set to triple by 2030. Since a typical battery lasts eight to twelve years, a huge number of packs will soon reach the end of their useful life. By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. These batteries are not harmless waste. They are classified as hazardous in many countries. If landfilled, they can release poisonous chemicals into soil and groundwater. If damaged or stored carelessly, they may catch fire through “thermal runaway”, a chain reaction that generates intense heat and poisonous fumes. Such fires are notoriously hard to extinguish. The risks fall hardest on workers in informal recycling sectors, who often lack proper training and protective gear. Yet an expired EV battery is far from dead. Most retain 70-80% of their original capacity and could be repurposed for stationary energy storage. The real obstacle is institutional. Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. In the U.S., recycling remains largely voluntary, and much battery waste is shipped abroad, shifting environmental risks to other countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) offers a way forward. Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. The EU, India and China have adopted some form of EPR; New Jersey has led a few U.S. states. Such laws can set collection targets, ban landfill disposal, require public information and even demand recycled minerals in new batteries. But EPR is no silver bullet. Producers may pass costs onto consumers, raising EV prices and slowing adoption. Weak enforcement could allow used batteries to be stockpiled or exported. The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. Only then can retired batteries be managed safely and kept within a transparent, circular system. 28. Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn of EV fire risks.  B. To indicate EV popularity. C. To highlight EV waste scale.  D. To emphasize EV battery weight. 29. What does “an orphan battery” reveal? A. A gap in end-of-life duty.  B. A rise in informal recycling. C. A success of voluntary programs.  D. A failure of recycling technology. 30. What is the core idea of EPR? A. Waste exports must be limited.  B. Collection targets are set by law. C. Recycling costs fall on consumers.  D. Producers bear life-cycle responsibility. 31. What is the author’s key suggestion for EPR? A. Avoiding slower EV adoption. B. Ensuring sound planning and global cooperation. C. Preventing cost shifts onto EV buyers. D. Strengthening enforcement of existing EPR laws. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【分析】本文介绍了电动汽车退役电池带来的废弃物难题，分析“孤儿电池”权责空白的现状，介绍生产者责任延伸制度（EPR），并指出该制度需要精心设计与跨国协同才能形成良性循环体系。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. (到2040年，报废电池重量将达到约2050万吨，大约是帝国大厦重量的55倍。)” 可知，作者用帝国大厦作对比，直观凸显报废电池庞大的总量，体现电动车废弃电池的规模问题。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. (电池一旦从车上拆下，可能失去质保、权属不清，变成没人有义务回收的“孤儿电池”。)”可知，“孤儿电池”反映出电池报废阶段责任归属存在空白。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. (在EPR制度下，是生产商，而不是消费者或垃圾处理方，必须确保电池的收集、再利用或回收。)”可知，EPR的核心理念是让生产者承担产品全生命周期责任。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. (那么，真正的考验不在于是否存在EPR法律，而在于这些法律是否经过精心设计，并且跨国协同配合。)”可知，作者建议EPR制度要有合理规划并且开展全球协作。 D Locating water ice on the Moon has become a central goal of future exploration, particularly within the deep, frozen shadows of the lunar south polar craters (陨石坑). Buried ice is considered one of the most valuable resources for long-term space missions, as it can be melted for drinking water, split into oxygen for breathing, and processed into hydrogen for rocket fuel. However, identifying the exact location, thickness, and reserves of this underground ice remains a significant challenge. Traditional orbital remote sensing allows scientists to scan the lunar surface from space, but these methods can only detect the topmost layer of soil. To investigate what lies deeper, a team of geologists from the University of Maryland and partner institutions has proposed a novel approach: using moonquakes to map buried ice. Their study, published in Science Advances, suggests that seismic (地震的) waves — the same vibrations measured during earthquakes — can serve as a powerful underground detection tool. The approach could work in that frozen and dry soils respond very differently to seismic waves. Ice acts like a natural cement, hardening the surrounding soil and allowing vibrations to travel two to three times faster than they would through dry dust. Additionally, ice-rich zones cause seismic energy to bounce back rather than pass through, creating distinct signals similar to an echo. By analyzing these unique wave patterns with a seismometer (地震仪), researchers can not only confirm the presence of ice but also estimate its approximate quantity. To test their theory, the team employed three distinct methods. They froze volcanic rocks that imitate lunar dust, modeled detailed temperature maps of the south polar region, and ran computer simulations of small moonquakes. In every case, the ice left clear and measurable marks on the seismic data. China’s Chang’e-7 mission, scheduled to land near Shackleton Crater, will carry a seismometer to put these predictions to the test. This innovative technique could provide a crucial foundation for future lunar base construction and our understanding of how water was delivered to the early solar system. 32. What role will the buried ice play in long-term space missions? A. A transportation means.  B. A research material. C. A life-sustaining resource.  D. A source for lunar data. 33. What is the drawback of orbital remote sensing when locating buried ice on the Moon? A. Inability to detect deep enough. B. High cost with low efficiency. C. Over-dependence on temperature. D. Capture of immeasurable marks. 34. What is the function of the third paragraph? A. A hook to attract a wider audience. B. An introduction to moonquake study. C. A turn to present a new detector. D. An explanation for the underlying principle. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward the seismometer approach? A. Skeptical and cautious.  B. Objective and expectant. C. Admiring and convinced.  D. Confused and uncertain. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍科学家计划利用月震探测月球地下冰，讲解其原理、验证方式与探测意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Buried ice is considered one of the most valuable resources for long-term space missions, as it can be melted for drinking water, split into oxygen for breathing, and processed into hydrogen for rocket fuel.(埋藏冰被认为是长期太空任务最宝贵的资源之一，因为它可以被融化成饮用水，分解成供呼吸的氧气，并被加工成用于火箭燃料的氢气)”可知，埋藏冰是维持生命的资源。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Traditional orbital remote sensing allows scientists to scan the lunar surface from space, but these methods can only detect the topmost layer of soil.(传统的轨道遥感使科学家能够从太空扫描月球表面，但这些方法只能探测土壤的最表层)”可知，轨道遥感的缺点是探测深度不够。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The approach could work in that frozen and dry soils respond very differently to seismic waves. Ice acts like a natural cement, hardening the surrounding soil and allowing vibrations to travel two to three times faster than they would through dry dust.(该方法能够奏效，原因是冻土和干燥土壤对月震波的反应截然不同。冰就像天然水泥，硬化周围的土壤，让振动传播速度是在干燥尘土中的两到三倍)”以及后文内容可知，本段解释这种探测方法背后的原理。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“China’s Chang’e-7 mission, scheduled to land near Shackleton Crater, will carry a seismometer to put these predictions to the test. This innovative technique could provide a crucial foundation for future lunar base construction and our understanding of how water was delivered to the early solar system.(计划着陆于沙克尔顿陨石坑附近的中国嫦娥七号任务将携带一台地震仪来检验这些预测。这项创新技术可以为未来月球基地建设以及我们理解水是如何被输送到早期太阳系的提供关键基础)”可知，作者客观陈述研究，同时对该方法抱有期待。 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。 If you ask people how today’s children are doing, you will likely get an earful of complaints and concerns. Many believe that children today are less resilient, less empathetic, and less mentally healthy than previous generations. Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis, and many parents quietly worry about the future. ____36____ Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations. Their basic literacy (素养) and curiosity have improved. They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago. ____37____ Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities. ____38____ Many factors are probably at play, but experts believe that changes in parenting and educational styles could be an important driver. One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. “Over the past 15 years of clinical work, many young children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,” says Tracy, a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, more schools have introduced social and emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control. What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. ____39____ Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. “It can make them more thoughtful, conscious citizens,” Konrath says. So why does the negative view of young people remain so common? One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats. Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive, which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news. Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. ____40____ Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. A. The big question is why. B. They are more willing to offer help, too. C. Yet the recent research tells a different story. D. There is no doubt that social media poses risks. E. Older generations were clearly happier and healthier. F. They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs. G. Whatever the reason, the negative view rarely matches reality. 【答案】36. C 37.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. They kept cheering loudly as he performed punches, kicks and graceful stances. They asked him to teach them basic moves, and Li Ming patiently demonstrated step by step, using simple English to explain each action’s meaning. When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words. For the first time, Li Ming forgot his shyness and accent, feeling proud to share his culture. Practice became a joyful time where they learned from each other. Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Many classmates came up to him, praising his wonderful performance and asking about Chinese kung fu. Some even invited him to join their conversations and hang out after school. During group work, he dared to speak up confidently, and his ideas were well-received. He no longer felt left out; instead, he found a sense of belonging. Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily. 【解析】 【导语】本文以异国成长为线索，讲述了李明从中国前往英国求学，因语言障碍、文化差异感到迷茫胆怯，难以融入集体，在小组合作和社交场合中屡屡受挫，恰逢学校举办才艺秀，他犹豫是否展示中国功夫时，被一群对文化表演感兴趣的英国学生邀请加入的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“在他们排练期间，这群人被李明的中国功夫惊呆了。”可知，本段聚焦李明在排练中的转变与融入，通过“组员欢呼、请教功夫、李明耐心教学”的细节，呼应前文李明的功夫特长与内心的胆怯；再以“组员帮助李明表达、李明忘记羞涩、享受分享”的情节，展现他逐渐打破语言与心理障碍，为下文才艺秀成功、彻底融入集体做铺垫，紧扣“异国适应与文化自信”的核心。 ②由第二段首句“才艺秀结束后，李明注意到一些变化正在发生。”可知，本段围绕李明的彻底转变与成长展开，通过“同学称赞、邀请他参与社交、小组合作中自信表达”的细节，体现才艺秀带来的积极影响，呼应前文排练时的努力与组员的友善；以“李明找到归属感、领悟到文化是联结他人的桥梁”的情节，升华主题，完成从“迷茫胆怯、格格不入”到“自信开朗、融入集体”的情节闭环。 2. 续写线索：组员被李明功夫惊艳——组员请教、李明耐心教学——遇语言困难时组员帮忙——李明克服羞涩、收获自信——才艺秀结束后同学称赞、主动结交——小组合作中大胆表达——李明找到归属感、领悟文化的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：demonstrate/show ②欢呼：cheer/shout with joy ③称赞：praise/commend ④融入：fit in/adapt to ⑤联结：connect/link 情感类 ①自豪的：proud/fulfilling ②自信地：confidently/with confidence 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I like sweet cakes and I need some sugar.
