First, I suggest updating the wall every two weeks with a new theme. This can keep the wall fresh and attract more students to participate regularly. Second, we could set up a small suggestion box, where students can secretly recommend what they want to see next. This encourages shy students to share their ideas without feeling pressured. I believe these ideas will make the wall more engaging. I’d be happy to help with the setup if needed. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写：（25分） Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance-and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. Text 1 M: I can’t find my ticket for the London Morning concert tonight. W: Did you check your jacket pocket? You wore it yesterday when we went to that restaurant. M: Just checked — nothing. Text 2 M: I’m considering Tim for the next headmaster position. He’s been a reliable assistant. W: He is nice. But he’s better as a teacher than as a manager. Text 3 M: I’ll take these dolls for my twins. Two for $7 is good, but $5 each is too expensive. W: Tell you what — buy this $2 book, and I’ll give you the two-for-$5 deal. M: Awesome, deal. Text 4 M: Good morning, CityGo Travel. W: Hello! I live in Brookhaven. Where does the express to Seaport leave this afternoon? M: You can leave from either Angel Centre or Ridgewood Station, but the latter is closer to you. Text 5 M: You’re always rushing through meals. W: Yeah, just busy with work. I used to cook proper dinners, but now I just order takeout M: Well, at least the takeout around here is delicious. Text 6 M: Jenny, what are your plans after graduation? W: I’m staying in China. My student visa will end soon, so I’m rushing to find a suitable job. My professor recommended some positions in education. I’ll apply for them while taking a course on cultural adaptation. M: That sounds practical If you are interested in a job at Huawei, I can make an internal recommendation for you. W: That’s great. What should I do? M: Just send me your updated application materials. Text 7 M: Excuse me, I’m doing a customer survey. May I ask you a few questions? W: Sure, I’ve got about ten minutes before my train back home. M: Great. First, what brought you into this town today? W: I came to do some shopping. M: What do you think of the journey? W: Well, the journey ‘s only 45 minutes but I paid 35.70 for a return ticket. I know it’s cheaper with a rail card, but I don’t have one. M: OK. Any comments on the service today? W: The WiFi has improved, which is great for work. But the train was 15 minutes late. And there’s not enough seating on the platforms. M: Thanks for your feedback. Text 8 M: Welcome, Greenfield School students! Great to have you here. Our park is run by the Wildlife Trust, a charity that protects endangered animals and supports wildlife education for young visitors. W: Thanks! We’ve been looking forward to this trip all week. We really want to see the giraffe feeding. M: There are two sessions every day. The morning one starts at 11:15. W: Oh, we’re joining the 10:45 walkabout tour from the bird area. M: Then you ‘ll go past the tigers and monkeys before lunch. After lunch, take the safari bus to the giraffe area. The afternoon feeding starts at 3:00. W: Perfect! That sounds like a really good plan. We’ll do that. M: Great. Enjoy your day. I need to check on the penguins now. Text 9 M: Hey! Who are you texting, Lydia? W: I’m texting OpenClaw. I’m asking it to check whether I have any free time this month. M: What? You’re asking someone else to do that for you? W: Haha, no! It’s that AI agent I told you about. M: Right, but didn’t you say it’s risky to install on your main computer? W: Exactly! That’s why I bought a second-hand computer just for testing. It was cheap, so if anything goes wrong, my important files will still be safe. M: Yeah, it’s smart to run OpenClaw on a separate machine. I thought about trying it too, but honestly, I’m waiting for QClaw. W: That makes sense. QClaw definitely seems safer, since it has real security teams behind it. But I’m just too curious to wait. I want to see how this technology might change my daily work. M: So how’s the experiment going so far? W: Pretty interesting. It’s already helping me organize emails and schedule meetings. Text 10 W: Hello everyone! Welcome to Global Flavors. Today, we’re talking about coffee. It likely began in Africa and was grown in Yemen by the 6th century. Traders brought it to Europe, but people were unsure of it at first, and it gradually won acceptance. Coffee quickly spread across the continent after that. By the 1600s, coffeehouses opened in London, Paris, and Vienna. After the 1773 Boston Tea Party, Americans switched to coffee. Coffee only grows in hot areas near the equator. The red cherries are processed in two ways. In the dry method, they’re dried whole in the sun. In the wet method, workers first remove the soft part around the beans, then leave them in water before washing and drying them. This results in better quality coffee. Roasting usually happens in importing countries to bring out flavor. Most coffee comes from two types of coffee plant. Arabica grows high up and tastes rich. Robusta grows lower, has more of the stimulating substance, and is used in cheaper coffee and instant coffee. The best instant coffee is freeze-dried and cheaper ones are spray-dried. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级限时规范练二 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand. The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life. Maya compromised, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion. Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary (庇护). The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for! Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published. After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairy tale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived. 24. How did Maya respond to the conflict with her parents? A. She persuaded them to accept her dream. B. She appeared to obey but resisted secretly. C. She openly argued against her parents’ plan. D. She gave in completely and took a stable job. 25. What does the underlined sentence “The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray” in Para 3 imply? A. The comments eased her self-doubt. B. The comments offered medical advice. C. The comments contained false descriptions. D. The comments exposed her writing weaknesses. 26. What might Maya learn from her submission experience? A. Getting books published isn’t that hard. B. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. C. Compromise is part of achieving a goal. D. Standing your ground is a precious virtue. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Write Life’s Storm. B. Chase Dreams Freely. C. Seek Fame Through Words. D. Leave Fairytales Behind. C When a whale dies at sea, its body begins one last journey — down through darkening water to the ocean floor, sometimes kilometres below. What looks like an ending is in fact one of the richest beginnings in marine biology: a whale fall. A grown whale can weigh over a hundred tons, a fortune of food falling into a desert. Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. Since then, researchers have studied dozens of falls: some were found by chance, others sunk on purpose as experiments and watched year after year. The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow. A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone. 28. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The celebration of the divers. B. The experiment that followed. C. The feeding of the gathered sea life. D. The occurrence of other whale falls. 29. What can we learn about the diners at a whale fall? A. They arrive all at once. B. They fight over the skeleton. C. Each takes each other for food. D. Each sets the table for the next. 30. Which of the following charts best shows the change in the number of species on a whale fall over time? A. B. C. D. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The bond whale falls create. B. New species found in museums. C. The food whale falls offer. D. The travels between food islands. D A few months ago, I had a serious period of post-vacation blues after a trip to Italy. I’d been surrounded by beauty and history for a week — so much so that it was truly breathtaking. There’s a word for what I was feeling: awe. As it turns out, that awe was actually good for me. Studies show awe — a sense of being amazed by something great — improves our mental and physical health by reducing inflammation (炎症) and creating a sense of connection. A 2025 study from King’s College London has identified a simple activity that can help us feel awe and lower our stress in 20 minutes or less: looking at art. The study found that viewing art can decrease our stress by calming the nervous system and decreasing cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Those cortisol levels are particularly noteworthy: they dropped by an average of 22% in people who viewed original paintings. When we’re stressed, our brains are either actively looking for threats or doing a whole lot of overthinking. But art can shift that state. Elizabeth Mateer, a brain researcher at Harvard Medical School, says: “When you look at art, especially something beautiful or surprising, your attention is caught. You’re no longer locked onto whatever was stressing you out.” Authentic art experiences activate our body’s defense systems in a way that helps us feel both energetic and relaxed. Specifically, looking at art acts like a switch. It takes us out of “fight or flight” mode, allows our calming system to take over and ultimately helps us recover. Furthermore, looking at art can help us get out of our own heads. For those who are anxious, this can be a much-needed break from racing thoughts that keep us out of the present moment. Instead of being locked onto the same worry, you’re engaging with beauty or meaning. To save these moments is to find a way back to peace. 32. What did the 2025 study from King’s College London discover? A. Post-vacation blues could be serious. B. Art viewing reduced mental stress levels. C. Cortisol levels increased when traveling. D. Stress connected with history and beauty. 33. What is Elizabeth Mateer’s attitude toward viewing art? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 34. How does looking at art affect people’s mental state? A. It brings out creative ideas. B. It reflects the potential worry. C. It helps focus on the present. D. It encourages racing thoughts. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Look Less, Feel More B. The Healing Power of Awe C. The Truth About Brain Stress D. A Quick Fix for a Busy Mind 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them? In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping. 36 American psychologists once published an article in Science. 37 In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory. People who thought the information would be saved remembered less than those who believed it would be lost. 38 If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it. Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize. 39 At the same time, the rise of search engines and quick access to knowledge have made turning to our own memories less necessary. Why make the effort to remember something when online search tools can find the exact answer in a second? 40 It moves some knowledge outside and makes information available with a single click. However, the strength of the human mind does not lie in the amount of data we memorize. True intelligence lies in the ability to ask questions, understand connections, doubt, seek evidence, and create something new. A. The logic is quite clear. B. They studied how technology affects memory. C. This phenomenon is called the online search effect. D. We tend to ignore how digital storage shapes our memory. E. Online tools bring us easy access to unnecessary information in the world. F. The more frequently you recall a piece of information, the better it is stored. G. If used wisely, the Internet is not the enemy of memory, but a powerful tool. 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。 Long before a serious illness cast a shadow over UCS, an American school, Coach Matt Thomas had been the beating heart of its football team.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good-he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family-his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队) danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally-every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 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。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
