I drove my cab five days a week from 3:00 in the afternoon until around 12:00 at night. There were traffic jams every afternoon, but it didn’t bother me. Most passengers were nice enough, although I can’t remember most of them. I liked to show tourists our beautiful city. A lot of tourists from Asia visited Vancouver. In the evening, I took people out to restaurants, clubs and theatres. It was interesting to see people dressed in their best clothes for parties. The most interesting customer I had was a man dressed as a bird! I can still remember the scene clearly and I think I’ll never forget it. My cab was always clean and I always tried to be friendly. The trip to the airport was usually my biggest tip. I liked my job and made a comfortable living. However, as we know, it is really a tiring job. So I don’t drive a taxi anymore. Now I have lots of free time, but sometimes I miss meeting new people.

语法填空
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了少林寺与中医的渊源。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：少林功夫与中医之间的联系可追溯到来自印度的僧人菩提达摩。空处作句子主语，根据空前的定冠词“the”可知，此处应填名词，connect的名词形式是connection，意为“联系”。故填connection。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：人们普遍认为他在6世纪来到中国。此处修饰动词“believed”，应用副词形式，wide的副词是widely，意为“广泛地；普遍地”。故填widely。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他教少林寺的僧人如何使用功夫练习和医疗技术来改善他们的身心健康。“____3____ (improve) their physical and mental health”在句中作目的状语，所以用动词不定式to improve，表示目的是“改善他们的身心健康”。故填to improve。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，少林寺的僧人仍然相信，将功夫练习与这些方法相结合，可以通过调节体内能量和激活身体的自愈能力来改善他们的健康状况。by是介词，后面manage的动名词形式managing作宾语。故填managing。
【60题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：如今，少林寺的僧人仍然相信，将功夫练习与这些方法相结合，可以通过调节体内能量和激活身体的自愈能力来改善他们的健康状况。此处表示“身体的”自愈能力，所以用名词所有格形式。故填body’s。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：例如，功夫练习被用来引导体内的能量流动，而针灸和草药被用来缓解疼痛和治疗不同的疾病。句子描述的是一般情况，应用一般现在时。主语“acupuncture and herbal medicine”与“apply”之间是被动关系，即“针灸和草药被应用”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语是复数，所以用are applied。故填are applied。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：例如，功夫练习被用来引导体内的能量流动，而针灸和草药被用来缓解疼痛和治疗不同的疾病。illness是可数名词，根据前面的“different（不同的）”可知，此处应用复数形式illnesses，表示多种疾病。故填illnesses。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：寺庙里甚至有一个诊所，游客可以在那里接受治疗。此处表示泛指“一个”诊所，且clinic的发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：寺庙里甚至有一个诊所，游客可以在那里接受治疗。“____9____ visitors can receive treatments”为定语从句，先行词为“clinic（诊所）”，在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导该定语从句。故填where。
【65题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：当然，它主要专注于中医实践。“focus on/upon...”是固定短语，意为“专注于……”。故填on / upon。

When I woke up again, bright light greeted my eyes. A gentle scent of flowers filled the air as a familiar voice approached, “Congratulations!” A face appeared before me, curly hair, and bright eyes full of tears. “Lena ” I murmured, my throat tight. “Yes, the surgery was undoubtedly successful!” she exclaimed with a warm smile that could melt snow—the same smile I’d memorized in the dark. Tears rolled down my cheeks, but this time, they were tears of joy. Lena wasn’t just my guide through darkness—she was my light. She showed me that even broken heroes could heal, especially when someone believes in them. To me, Lena was also a true hero. Through her support and belief in me, I learnt the valuable lesson of fighting to save myself.2025-2026学年上学期夏津一中高一年级12月份月考

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.

The Yellow River is the cradle of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices (设备) set up along the river collect and transmit information to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions.
One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the center for quick response,” Wang said.
“In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiao from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.”
And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches (未雨绸缪),” said Shen.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligence systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river.
28. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River
A. To do historical research. B. To create a virtual tourist attraction.
C. To raise public awareness of river protection.
D. To improve flood control and prevention efforts.
29. How do the smart stones help with the river’s digital governance
A. They record water quality. B. They improve the river’s beauty.
C. They monitor and report dike movements.
D. They serve as markers for important locations.
30. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River
A. Attracting tourists. B. Giving warning of coming floods.
C. Testing water quality. D. Collecting information on dike conditions.
31. What does the underlined word “comprehensive” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complete. B. Basic. C. Beautiful. D. Natural.
D
Fishing is a way of life for people who live on the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. These Southeast Asians depend on fish in the lake. But those fish are in trouble.
Generally, their numbers in Tonle Sap Lake have been falling sharply. Compared to the number in 2003, just 12 percent as many could be found in 2019. Chevalier was part of a team that shared those data in Science of the Total Environment. “If the tendency (趋势) continues,” he says, “there will be nothing for people there to eat any more.”
Dams (大坝) are a big problem, Chevalier says. These structures break up river systems. With growing human populations, overfishing becomes more of a threat. As people keep fishing, the share of fish left there could decrease even more. Pollution threatens freshwater ecosystems, too. People have also been changing the land in ways that damage the habitat in lakes and streams. And then there’s a growing number of non-native harmful species. Lastly, global warming has been causing harm by stressing both fish and their food sources.
Still, the situation isn’t hopeless. Researchers are working to identify the most effective ways to change that. One way is to remove outdated or ill-placed dams. The largest such U.S. project took down four dams from the lower Klamath River. Soon after, thousands of salmon (鲑鱼) were swimming upstream through this newly opened stretch. Elsewhere, dam operators can reduce harm by changing river flows. Limiting flow too much can cause downstream areas to dry up. Smarter dam placement would also help.
“Restoring habitat can help if done right. But this work costs money. And it’s hard to restore entire streams,” John Gray, a fish biologist, says. In 2022, scientists tried repopulating some fish species at Tonle Sap Lake. However, nearly half the fish were caught less than three months later.
With each success or failure, scientists learn how better to deal with these big problems. Teens can get involved. Many conservation groups welcome help from people of any age.
32. Why is fishing mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To present a way of living. B. To lead to the main concern.
C. To state the best fishing place. D. To stress the value of tradition.
33. Which of the following is a way to settle the problem caused by dams
A. Increasing the use of dams. B. Turning dams into river habitats.
C. Choosing the locations for dams wisely. D. Limiting the river water flowing downstream.
34. What does Gray think of restoring habitat
A. It has limited benefits. B. It is of no use.
C. It will bring worse results. D. It is money-saving.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. Benefits of Protecting Fish. B. Threats to Southeast Asia.
C. Remove Old Dams to save Salmon. D. Help Tonle Sap Fish Survive.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
My fingers touched the sick bandages (绷带) covering my eyes. The physical pain had faded, but the memory hadn’t—the sudden fire of the car, the trapped child’s screams, my desperate rush to save her. Now darkness wrapped my world, and light never came.
Nightfall brought a visitor. “Your courage and kindness moved me. You are a hero.” a woman’s voice stated softly. “I don’t want pity!” I said in a weak voice, turning my back to her. Maybe I couldn’t see the sunlight forever, tears rolling down my cheeks. At that time, someone wiped away my tears. No voice. That night grew late. As I struggled to step out of my room towards the bathroom, a firm hand caught my arm—steady and determined.
“You again Are you a nurse ” I asked with the doubts that had been wandering in my mind.
“Yeah. Call me Lena.” she replied, her voice warm. Who could imagine she would change my life
Form that moment, Lena’s voice became my compass—guiding me through endless corridors, describing the golden sunlight through windows, insisting I’d “see” again. Gradually, we began sharing stories and dreams, which created an atmosphere filled with laughter and warmth. When listening to her, I could see the weight of my loneliness and fear of losing sight slowly lifting. It was as if her companionship had produced a spark(火花) within me. Our friendship became a source of joy for me, turning my lonely days into moments full of laughter and hope. Lena taught me about resilience (韧性), love, and the importance of bravery. I felt a strong sense of gratitude.
One day, she suddenly grabbed my shoulder tightly. “They’re testing electronic eyes—operations that make the blind see again. Volunteers are needed.” Her voice trembled with excitement. “Why me ” I whispered, brushing my bandages. Her hand rested gently over mine. “Because heroes don’t just save others—they fight to save themselves too.” The words hung in my head till I entered the operating room with Lena.
