We feel really sorry for the disturbance that the bird songs bring you, but we can’t grant the request. Bird songs are nature’s rhythm and coexisting with other species is an essential part of growing up. More importantly, the ultimate goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to help us learn to live with the world. We suggest you adjust your mindset and regard bird songs as natural background music. Let us show respect for every small life and grow into more tolerant and gentle people. Yours, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Chris, We have received your letter requesting the removal of bird nests on campus. We feel really sorry for the disturbance that the bird songs bring you. After a serious discussion, we decide to grant your request. Admittedly, constant bird songs are a major distraction, as they will undoubtedly slow down your progress and reduce your learning efficiency. To solve the problem effectively, our school will arrange for professionals to remove the nests and relocate the birds to a wooded area away from classrooms. I sincerely hope this solution will help you study better. Yours, Li Hua One possible version: Paragraph 1: That night, Oliver started a new picture. He erased the exaggerated spaghetti hair and metal braces, focusing instead on Emily’s true spirit. With gentle strokes, he drew her holding her violin, eyes closed in passion, capturing the music she loved. He highlighted her warm smile that could light up a room, ensuring every line reflected her kindness rather than just her appearance. This time, he didn’t just draw what she looked like; he poured his understanding of who she was onto the paper, aiming to show her soul, not just her surface. Paragraph 2: The next morning, Oliver handed the new drawing to Emily. Her eyes widened as she traced the violin and the genuine smile he had captured. Tears welled up, but this time they were tears of joy. “This is me,” she whispered, looking at him with gratitude. Oliver smiled, realizing that true art reveals the subject’s heart. Their friendship was restored, stronger than before, bonded by a deeper understanding and the knowledge that he truly saw her. 听力录音原文： (Text 1) W: Excuse me, could you let me have a double room?

If a family wants to buy 4 tins of powder, what is the total saving? A. ¥110 B. ¥90 C. ¥80 D. ¥100 B For almost a century, Kuttiyamma’s daily routine had been much the same. Rising early at home in the village of Thiruvanchoor in Kerala, a state in southwestern India, the 104-year-old would begin her day’s work of cooking, cleaning and feeding the cows and chickens. But now, every morning, there’s something new to get up for. She eagerly awaits the paperboy to deliver Malayala Manorama, the local newspaper. For two hours, she buries herself reading the news and keeps herself informed about what’s going on in the world. But it is only in the past year that she has been able to fulfill this dream of hers-in April 2021, Kuttiyamma finally began to learn to read. “I was always curious about what was happening around the world,” she said. “On many occasions I regretted my inability to read newspapers and I used to ask the younger generations at home to read out newspapers to me.” After months of evening classes, she decided to take the Kerala state primary literacy exam last month, the oldest woman to do so. She achieved 89% in literacy and 100% in mathematics. It was a result that drew praise from the state education minister. “I was born in the midst of poverty,” said Kuttiyamma. “Education of women family members was unthinkable at that time. My parents were landless agricultural laborers and it was my duty to cook food, wash dresses and keep the hut for my 11 siblings.” And so she got on with her life. At 16, she got married and later had five children. Decades passed, and Kuttiyamma always felt that something was missing. A year ago, her neighbor Rehana John, a 34-year-old literacy trainer, persuaded Kuttiyamma into starting to learn to read. John had noticed Kuttiyamma’s curiosity about her grandchildren’s learning and offered to give her some books. “Except for very little vision and hearing problems, she was a perfect and sometimes naughty student who made my teaching meaningful,” said John. “She always has her textbook, notebooks and pens ready before I reach her home.” Kuttiyamma is now working on the fourth standard examination, which students normally pass at the age of nine. This time it involves papers in Malayalam, English, environment and mathematics. “I don’t think English is that difficult,” said Kuttiyamma. “I will try to achieve 100% marks in the examination for all papers. 24. What is the main reason why Kuttiyamma decided to learn at the age of 103? A. To get a better job and support her family. B. To become a literacy trainer like her neighbor. C. To help her grandchildren with their homework. D. To realize her goal of reading the newspaper by herself. 25. According to the passage, which of the following about Kuttiyamma’s exam results is TRUE? A. She was the youngest to ever take the exam. B. She failed the exam but decided to try again. C. She scored 100% in literacy and 89% in mathematics. D. The state education minister spoke highly of her exam results. 26. What kind of student is Kuttiyamma in the view of Rehana John? A. Troublesome. B. Enthusiastic. C. Adventurous D. Confident. 27. What can we learn from this story? A. Never too old to learn. B. Practice makes perfect. C. A light heart lives long. D. Reading makes a full man. C Generation Z Falls for Online Scams (骗局) Faster Than You Think Members of Generation Z-those 20 and younger who grew up with smartphones and the Internet-fall much faster for online scams than their grandparents do, a new study finds. Social Catfish, an online identify-verification service, found cyber-fraud (网络诈骗) among this group has increased by 156 percent since 2017, compared to the 112 percent rise among those age 60 or older. Complaints from the under-20s to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center amounted to about 23200 last year, a huge increase from 9000 in 2017. It also cost Generation Z roughly $71 million in losses, compared to $8.3 million in 2017. This may be due to many spending extra time online because of some type of stay-at-home order last year that was caused by the still lingering coronavirus pandemic. “Scammers create a variety of tricks to scam people out of their money,” Social Catfish noted in its study. “They create fake profiles and go onto social media platforms and online gaming apps to start conversations with their victims. They use a pre-made script to talk to their victims called the ‘scammer’s playbook’.” However, what may come as a shock to most is Generation Z falling of such tricks. David McClellam, president of Social Catfish, said: “It is alarming. The generation we think of as being the most experienced with the Internet… is where the numbers are growing the fastest when it comes to scams. This age group is very comfortable being online and being very public about their lives. So that makes them very trusting when they’re on the Internet.” Scammers also use a technique called phishing (网络钓鱼), or the act of sending emails and text messages that appear to come from official sources or companies asking victims to share personal information. The emails are typically sent with fake email addresses that are close to authentic addresses, and include photos and logos that look just like those from real companies. 28. What is the main finding of the study conducted by Social Catfish? A. The number of online scams has decreased since 2017. B. Online scams claim more young victims than senior ones. C. The coronavirus pandemic is the main cause of cyber-fraud. D. Generation Z spends more money online than older generation. 29. According to the study, how much did cyber-fraud losses for Generation Z increase from 2017 to last year? A. From 9000 to 23200. B. From 112% to 156%. C. From $8.3 million to $71 million. D. The exact amount is not mentioned. 30. The phrase “the scammer’s playbook” in Paragraph 4 most likely refers to . A. a popular online game among Generation Z B. a social media platform and online gaming app C. a pre-written text applied by scammers to young victims D. a book written by David McClellam about Internet safety 31. Why does Generation Z easily fall for online scams? A. The fake emails are similar to the real ones. B. Scammers have created more complex tricks for them. C. They are interested in winning prizes offered by companies. D. Their comfort and trust online may make them less doubtful. D Small, colorless, and blind cavefishes inhabit underground waters throughout the eastern United States. In a new study, Yale researchers reveal insights into just how these distinctive cave residents evolved — and provide a unique method for dating the underground ecosystems where they reside. In an analysis of the genomes (基因组) of all known blind species, the researchers found that the different species colonized (定居) cave systems independently of each other and separately evolved similar features — such as the loss of eyes and color — as they adapted to their dark cave environments. Their findings are published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution. By studying the specific genetic mutations (突变) that caused the fishes’ eyes to degenerate over time, the researchers developed a sort of “mutational clock” that allowed them to estimate when each species began losing their vision. They found that the vision-related genes of the oldest cavefish species, the Ozark cavefish, began degenerating up to 11 million years ago. This technique provides a minimum age for the caves, as the cavefish must have been living in underground waters when their eyesight started to devolve. To understand when the cavefish began populating caves, the researchers studied the fishes’ genomes, examining 88 vision-related genes for mutations. The analysis revealed that the various cavefish ancestries had completely different sets of genetic mutations involved in the loss of vision. This, they said, suggests that separate species colonized caves and adapted to those underground ecosystems independently of each other. “A number of the mutations we see in the cavefish genomes that lead to degeneration of the eyes are similar to mutations that cause eye diseases in humans,” said Thomas Near, senior author of the study. “There is the possibility for translational medicine through which by studying this natural system in cavefishes, we can collect insights into the genomic mechanisms of eye diseases in humans.” 32．What did Yale researchers discover about blind cavefishes? A．They evolved individually. B．They had identical mutations. C．They shared common ancestors. D．They developed at the same pace. 33．What is the function of the mutational clock?

That’s why we work hard to make great first impressions. 36 First impressions might overshadow your abilities. When you are hired in an organization, a set of inferences are made about you. Making inferences is human nature. If you become known for your attention to details, you may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture. If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday celebrations, you may never be seen as management material. 37 First impressions can stamp you forever, often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be able to advance your career. These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are. 38 This, in large part, is why your careers are held back, why you become frustrated, dissatisfied and even want to leave the present position. But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value. Talk about what you are reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate. This can demonstrate other skills you possess. Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry. 39 Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role. 40 As people get to know you better, they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities, potentially opening new doors for career advancement. A．Here are some useful suggestions for you. B．Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible. C．Thus, you can contribute in fresh and unexpected ways. D．It is often extremely difficult for people to change them. E．Whatever labels, they prevent people seeing your other capacities. F．By expanding your knowledge, you can reshape others’ perceptions. G．Nevertheless, the same first impressions can block our career progress. 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my dad planned out a trip to La Mina Falls in EL Yunque National Forest, I wasn’t really into it, and I went along 41 . I’ve never been fond of cold water. If the temperature isn’t to my 42 , I’m not going to 43 myself from the pool’s edge like a missile. I’m the type of person who takes their time 44 into the water, lowering themselves step by step, and allowing their body to get used to the 45 depths. My complicated relationship with water is 46 my dad, who I don’t think has ever looked 47 he dives. I wasn’t raised on the river like he was. Shortly after I was born, we 48 to Central Florida, far away from the rapids of my father’s youth. When we finally made it to La Mina Falls, I was worn out. My dad was already knee-deep in the water and 49 fast, while I was resting on a rock. He paused, looking over at me and 50 , perhaps for the first time, that I had 51 him into the forest. He waved his hand at me, and I 52 my shoes. I knew that if I touched the water with my toe in the first place, I wouldn’t get in. So, I jumped into the 53 water, not completely without hesitation, where a 54 combination of accomplishment and regret washed over me. When I 55 the surface, I caught my dad staring at me. “Your grandfather brought me here once when I was a kid,” his voice faded away into the water. 41．A．anxiously B．reluctantly C．curiously D．keenly 42．A．disappointment B．annoyance C．surprise D．liking 43．A．keep B．launch C．excuse D．rescue 44．A．swimming B．running C．easing D．falling 45．A．icy B．warm C．friendly D．shallow 46．A．in opposition to B．in response to C．at the mercy of D．on behalf of 47．A．once B．before C．because D．if 48．A．escaped B．journeyed C．relocated D．returned 49．A．floating B．withdrawing C．breathing D．sinking 50．A．realizing B．regretting C．admitting D．agreeing 51．A．challenged B．forced C．accompanied D．guided 52．A． dusted down B．reached for C．kicked off D．stared at 53．A．onrushing B．appealing C．flowing D．freezing 54．A．confusing B．regular C．similar D．simple 55．A．left B．approached C．dipped D．broke 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。 A Chinese research team has recently made a breakthrough in developing “long-lifespan rice” by identifying the key gene (基因) and mechanism that enable wild rice 56 (harvest) multiple times, and has successfully introduced this gene into a cultivated (栽培) rice variety. This latest achievement has been published in 57 international academic journal Science. According to the paper, the Chinese team identifies two genes that help the wild rice Oryza rufipogon grow well year after year by adding these genes 58 the cultivated rice O. sativa, which gave it a key perennial trait (多年生特性): the ability to stop flowering and resume the vegetative 59 (grow), instead of dying off after flowering as annual plants 60 (basic) do. Experts say that while the genetic basis of rice longevity 61 (reveal) so far, the research remains largely at a fundamental stage. 62 (system) evaluations of yield, taste, and other characteristics have yet to be completed. Overall, the new rice is not intended to replace existing high-yield varieties, 63 rather to serve as an addition to current farming systems. Still, experts say that “longevity rice” shows potential in low-productivity areas such as sloped farmland and hilly regions, 64 the planting conditions are challenging but its characteristic could reduce labor input and help conserve soil, 65 (offer) distinct ecological and economic value. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是校学生会主席李华。近日，你校一名交换生Chris因校园鸟鸣干扰学习，致信学生会建议拆除鸟巢。请你用英文给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 表明态度； 2. 简要陈述理由。 写作要求： 1. 词数80左右。 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。续写的词数应为150左右。 Oliver was amazed by a cartoonist (漫画家) at a pizza shop. With only a few quick lines, the cartoonist turned him into a big-headed, cheerful character in seconds. That moment planted a seed in Oliver’s heart. He decided to learn this “magic” himself. For the next two weeks, he practiced every day, following simple rules he had read about: make big features bigger and leave out small details. When the school announced its art fair, Oliver knew he would draw his best friend, Emily. He began with confidence. He turned Emily’s curly hair into a messy pile of spaghetti (意大利面) and made her braces (牙套) look like shiny metal bricks. Stepping back, Oliver felt proud. The picture was funny and clever, and at the art fair it even won a judge’s sticker. But his pride disappeared when he saw Emily standing in front of the picture, frozen. When she turned around, her eyes were full of tears. “Why would you draw me like this?” she asked. Before Oliver could answer, she hurried away, leaving him with a heavy feeling in his stomach. That afternoon, Oliver went back to the pizza shop and showed the cartoonist the picture. The man studied it for a moment. “You drew what she looks like,” he said gently, “but not who she is.” Oliver carried those words home with him. When he looked at the drawing again, he did not see funny lines anymore. He saw the real Emily — the girl who loved music and played the violin with passion, the girl whose warm smile could light up a room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That night, Oliver started a new picture. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Oliver handed the new drawing to Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 高二年级英语科试卷共10页 第2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
