的留言给予了她温暖和安慰。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the weeks and months following her husband’s cancer
diagnosis, Diana would search for “hiding” places where she could let the uncontrollable waterfalls
of tears flow from her eyes. (在她丈夫被诊断出癌症后的几个星期和几个月里，Diana 会寻找“藏
身”的地方，让她无法控制的泪水从眼睛里流出)”可知，当 Diana 想哭的时候，她会一个人哭得
泪流满面。故选 B 项。
25. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中““I could hardly catch my breath and the ugly crying started,” said
Diana. “The problem was, I was stuck in the coffee line at Dutch Brothers, one place where all the
workers are young, happy and jamming out to music. And there was no way out. I was literally
blocked in, so unless I wanted to back right up into the SUV behind me, I was about to be seen (“我
几乎喘不过气来，然后开始嚎啕大哭，”Diana 说。“问题是，我在荷兰兄弟咖啡店排队买咖啡
时被困住了，那里的员工都很年轻，很开心，喜欢跟着音乐一起狂欢。没有出路。我真的被堵
在里面了，所以除非我想倒车直接撞上后面的 SUV，否则我就会被人看到)”可知，处在车流中

26. 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“The barista, who was making and serving coffee at the
window, handed Diana an iced coffee with a sweet and simple note on the top. “When I looked down
in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it.” (在窗口做
咖啡和端上咖啡的咖啡师递给 Diana 一杯冰咖啡，上面写着甜蜜而简单的留言。“当我低头看
杯架时，我看到了它。一根粉红色的吸管，上面写着‘我们爱你’。”)”和最后一段“The girl didn’
t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me
to know I wasn’t alone and that whatever trial I was going through, there were people out there who
cared about me.” (这个女孩不知道 Diana 的痛苦，也不知道她的故事，但她知道自己很受伤，
而且无法治愈。“她想让我知道，我并不孤单，不管我经历了什么磨难，总会有人关心我。”)”
可以看出，这位咖啡师是观察入微且热心肠的，因为她注意到了黛安娜的情绪，并通过小纸条
表达了关心和支持。故选 D。
27. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A pink straw,
and the words ‘We love you’ written around it. (当我往杯托里看的时候，我看到了。一根粉红色
的吸管，旁边写着“我们爱你”)”和最后一段“The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she
knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it. “She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone. And that whatever
trial I was going through, there were people out there who cared about me.” (那个女孩不知道 Diana
的痛苦或她的故事，但她知道 Diana 受伤了，而且她无法修复。“她想让我知道我并不孤单，
无论我正在经历什么样的考验，总有人在乎我。”)”可知，这个女孩在完全不认识 Diana 的情况
下，给悲伤的 Diana 送上了一份小小的暖心的安慰，让 Diana 不再觉得那么孤单。这个故事体
现了“Small acts of kindness make a difference. (小小的善举会带来不同)”。故选 D 项。

29．细节理解题。根据第一段“According to Deepseek’s CEO, Dr. Emily Zhang, the system uses a
combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and advanced algorithms(算题) to
analyze facial expressions, voice tones, and even subtle body language cues.(Deepseek 的首席执行

与众不同的是它使用先进的算法来分析情感。故选 D 项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Professor David Lee, a leading expert in technology ethics, warns that
the ability to analyze and respond to emotions could be misused. “This technology could lead to
privacy violations, emotional control, or even harmful treatment,” he said.(技术伦理领域的权威专
家 David Lee 教授警告说，分析和响应情感的能力可能被滥用。他说：“这项技术可能导致隐私

并将企鹅作为生物指示器，绘制出环境污染物的动态地图。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“And after a decade-long analysis, he and his colleagues have figured
out how to use such feathers to create a living map of the mercury(汞)pollution that increasingly
threatens Southern Hemisphere wildlife.(经过长达十年的分析，他和同事们找到了利用这些羽毛
绘制汞污染动态地图的方法，汞污染日益威胁南半球的野生动物)”可知，研究的目的是分析生
态系统中的汞污染。故选 D。
33．词句猜测题。根据第三段 “Many predators(捕食性动物), including penguins, have evolved
ways to get rid of mercury,( 许多捕食者，包括企鹅，已经进化出了去除汞的方法)”以及“which
builds up in feathers(汞积聚在羽毛上)”可知，企鹅通过脱毛来去除汞的积累。所以划线词的意
思是“脱落”。故选 C。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段“They were surprised to find a correlation between the feathers’ levels
of mercury and of a carbon isotope(同位素)called carbon-13; the latter varies based on geographic
location and thus acts as an indicator of where the penguins are feeding or where their breeding
grounds are.(他们惊讶地发现，羽毛中的汞含量与一种叫做碳-13 的碳同位素之间存在相关性；
后者根据地理位置的不同而变化，因此可以作为企鹅觅食或繁殖地的指示)可知碳-13 有助于定
位企鹅的觅食地点。故选 B。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“These findings suggest that penguins could serve as
bioindicators: living trackers of environmental pollutants. Rather than measuring the chemical itself
at a specific time and location, measuring penguin feathers’ mercury levels tracks its movement
through the food web. For instance, penguin species known to live near one another had varying
mercury and carbon-13 levels because of their different migration and feeding patterns. These data
could be modeled into a map-like database to help guide future projects on conservation and polar
science research.(这些发现表明企鹅可以作为生物指示器：环境污染物的活追踪者。测量企鹅羽 毛中的汞含量不是在特定的时间和地点测量化学物质本身，而是跟踪它在食物网中的运动。例 如，已知生活在彼此附近的企鹅物种由于迁徙和摄食模式不同，其汞和碳-13 水平也不同。这 些数据可以建模成一个类似地图的数据库，以帮助指导未来的保护和极地科学研究项目。)”可 知，本段主要讨论了企鹅作为生物指示器的重要性。故选 B。

第二节 语法填空
【答案】
【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了美国女孩 Katrina 通过小红书寻找多年前结识的中国交换生
Simon，在众多网友助力下迅速成功寻友，彰显了科技对人际联系的促进以及人们对交流理解
的向往。
56. which 解析：此空考查非限制性定语从句。先行词为 “Xiaohongshu”，在从句 “____ is called
China's Instagram” 中作主语，且非限制性定语从句中不能用 that 来指代物，所以用关系代词
which 引导，用来对先行词 “Xiaohongshu” 进行补充说明，即 “小红书，它被称作中国的
Instagram”。
57. posted 解析：根据上下文，讲述的是过去发生的事情。“an American girl” 是主语，“posted” 是
谓语动词，“a video” 是宾语，“on the platform” 是地点状语，“in search of Simon” 是目的状语。
这里描述 Katrina 过去在平台上发布视频这一动作，所以用一般过去时 posted。
58. built 解析：“build” 与 “their tie” 构成被动关系，即 “他们的联系是被建立在相互尊重的基
础上的”。过去分词 built 在这里作后置定语，修饰 “their tie”，相当于一个定语从句 “which
was built on mutual respect”。
59. Despite/After 解析：“seven years of no contact and geographical separation” 表达的是一种让步
的情况，尽管存在七年没有联系和地理上分离的状况，“Despite” 表示 “尽管”，引导让步状语，
符合句子逻辑。
60. hoping 解析：“she decided to download the app” 是主句，“hoping” 在这里作伴随状语，表示
她在决定下载应用程序的同时，怀着能够找到失去的朋友的希望。“hope” 与主语 “she” 是主动
关系，所以用现在分词 hoping。
61. countless 解析：这里需要一个形容词来修饰 “users”，表示数量众多。“countless” 意思是 “无
数的，数不清的”，符合语境，即 “无数的用户分享了她的帖子”。
62. amazement 解析：“to one's + 名词” 是固定搭配，“to Katrina's amazement” 表示 “令 Katrina
惊讶的是”，在句中作插入语，所以用名词 amazement。
63. deeply 解析：这里需要一个副词来修饰形容词 “touched”，表示感动的程度。“deeply” 表示
“深深地”，强调程度深，“deeply touched” 即 “深受感动”。
64. academic 解析：这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词 “challenges”，“academic” 意为 “学术的；
学业的”，“academic challenges” 表示 “学业上的挑战”，符合上下文语境。
65. a 解析：“desire” 在这里表示 “一种渴望”，是泛指，强调普遍存在的一种对于联系和理解的
渴望，而不是特指某一个特定的渴望。“a” 用于可数名词单数前，表示 “一个，一种” 等泛指
概念，所以用 “a” 修饰 “universal desire”，即 “一种普遍的渴望”。 66. known
67. As
68. environmental
69. but
70. relief
第四部分 书面表达

件描述的连贯性。
3. 文化交际意识：通过体育活动传递跨文化交流意义（如友谊、合作）及积极价值观。
本题高分关键点主要有：
1. 场景描写的生动性：能运用 1-2 个具体细节（如比分、关键瞬间）增强画面感；避免泛泛而
谈（如“It was fun.”），需结合实例说明。
2. 思考深度的体现：不仅陈述事实，还需简要提炼收获（如团队精神、体育精神）。
3. 交际功能的达成：邮件需体现告知和分享的双重目的，开头照应对方“对足球赛感兴趣”，
结尾可自然表达期待（如“Hope we can watch a match together someday!”）；语言风格需符合朋
友间非正式交流，避免过于书面化。
4. 结构的清晰性：分段明确对应三个要点，每段 2-3 句。
【参考范文】
Dear Aden,
I hope this email finds you well. I can’t wait to share the friendly football match we had with
our sister school last week with you.
The match was held to strengthen bonds and promote teamwork. All players exchanged passes
and shot with great enthusiasm. We led by 2-1 at halftime, but the opponent made a strong comeback.
The game ended in a 3-3 draw.
I felt proud and excited throughout the match, and I was impressed by the sportsmanship and
friendly spirit from both teams. Hope we can watch a match together someday!
Best wishes,
Lihua
第二节：读后续写
One possible version:
On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened
in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I
exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep
my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have
consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s
words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to
Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right．
We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it,
we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for
letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily
children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson
which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the
impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also
planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves．
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者七岁那年，和妹妹迫切地想要独立，于是开始了

然而，第二天她们却忘记了她们的约定，导致怀特夫人联系上了她们的母亲。面对她们的错误，
她们感到内疚，但很快就被母亲提出的惊喜提议所分散了注意力——她打算那天下午带她们去
迪士尼乐园。但是临出门时母亲又说不去了，母亲用不去迪士尼乐园的策略让孩子们意识到他
们的错误。接下来，通过道歉和实际行动，孩子们挽回了失信的过失，学会了履行承诺的价值。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“在楼梯平台上，妈妈说：“孩子们，我们今天不去迪斯尼乐园了。””可知，
第一段描述母亲通过实际行为告诉作者和妹妹被食言的感受。
②由第二段句首内容“我们轻轻地敲了敲怀特太太的门，低着头，心情沉重。”可知，第二段可
描写作者和妹妹去帮助怀特太太的花园除草，履行自己的承诺。
2. 续写线索：妈妈食言——伤心——教导——明白自己的错误——道歉——完成承诺——感
悟。

always full of traffic and the fares are ridiculously high.

Would you mind doing me a favor, please

M: Sure. You have to wait your turn. That may need 5 minutes and the pizzas will need 25 minutes.
You can come in half an hour. They taste best when they're fresh. You'd better eat them within an
hour.
W: OK. Thanks.

W: Augus, do you know the color of the window frames in Paula's house
M: Of course. They are brown. I went together with Joseph to help her do the painting last Saturday.
That day you were busy with your report. Anyway, why do you ask that
W: I want to renew ours. What does her house look like
M: Her house looks very nice and modern. By the way, what are you going to do exactly
W: I'd like to repaint the walls and the window frames, and then rearrange the furniture.
M: But there is an important issue to note: After the painting is completed, our house needs to be
aired for a period of time, and we cannot live in it during that period.
W: It makes sense. Then what about the furniture
M: Just go with your idea.
W: Alright. In fact, I feel uneasy about not being able to get all these things done at once.
Text 10
W: For Christmas this year, a St. Louis man called Phillip Willett decided to use artificial
intelligence (AI) to recreate his late father’s voice as a present for his mother. Willett said that his
wife, Kassandra Willett, was the first person to give him the idea to use AI, something he had been
using in his professional work for clients. “At first, I didn’t really want to get into that. I thought it
was kind of strange,” Willett recalled his original hesitation. But the suggestion stuck with him and
he decided to search online to see if other people had done anything similar. Willett found “a whole
community” of people who had successfully tried using AI voice software to recreate the voices of
people they cared about. Soon after, Willett changed his mind and gave it a try using text-to-speech
software. “The actual first words that I put into the program were ‘Hi, honey’. I can’t tell you how
many times I’ve heard my father say that in my life,” Willett said. “When the program said it in his
voice, my eyes filled with tears. That’s when I was like, I’m doing this no matter what.” Willett not
only recreated his late father’s voice, but also put together a video with photos of him with his mom,
and combined them all into a video book. After it all came together, he presented the final product to
his mom. “What the AI was able to do with that video is really a summary of their life,” he said.雅礼教育集团 2025 年下学期期中考试试卷

Being the strong wife and mother that she is, Diana Register often hid her deep pain and
suffering from those around her. In the weeks and months following her husband’s cancer diagnosis,
第 3 页；共 12 页
Diana would search for “hiding” places where she could let the uncontrollable waterfalls of tears
flow from her eyes.
“The storage room was a favorite. Then was the shower. But when I wasn’t home, it was the
parking lots that served as my hiding places,” she said. After her husband passed away, parking lots
were Diana’s safe haven (避风港) for pain and sorrow.
One day, as she was about to place her order in the Dutch Brothers coffee drive-thru (汽车餐厅),
the wave of sadness hit her like a tidal wave in the middle of her conversation with a friend.
“I could hardly catch my breath and the ugly crying started,” said Diana. “The problem was, I
was stuck in the coffee line at Dutch Brothers, one place where all the workers are young, happy and
jamming out to music. And there was no way out. I was literally blocked in, so unless I wanted to
back right up into the SUV behind me, I was about to be seen for the mess I really was.”
The barista (咖啡师), who was making and serving coffee at the window, handed Diana an iced
coffee with a sweet and simple note on the top. “When I looked down in the cup holder, I saw it. A
pink straw, and the words ‘We love you’ written around it.”
The girl didn’t know Diana’s pain or her story, but she knew she was hurting and couldn’t fix it.
“She wanted me to know I wasn’t alone and that whatever trial I was going through, there were
people out there who cared about me.”
24. What would Diana do when she wanted to cry
A. Go out for a ride. B. Cry her eyes out totally alone.
C. Have a conversation with her friend. D. Play hide-and-seek in the storage room.

C. God helps those who help themselves. D. Small acts of kindness make a difference.

In a groundbreaking announcement, Deepseek, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI),
has revealed its latest innovation: an advanced AI system named “DeepMind 2.0.” This new
第 4 页；共 12 页
technology is designed to understand and respond to human emotions with accuracy never seen
before, marking a significant leap forward in the field of emotional AI. According to Deepseek’s
CEO, Dr. Emily Zhang, the system uses a combination of machine learning, natural language
processing, and advanced algorithms (算 法 ) to analyze facial expressions, voice tones, and even
subtle body language cues.
The potential applications of DeepMind 2.0 are wide. In healthcare, the system has already
been tested in several hospitals, where it assists doctors in identifying patients’ emotional states, such
as anxiety or depression, and provides tailored recommendations for care. In education, the
technology could help teachers better understand students’ emotional needs, creating a more
supportive learning environment. Additionally, in customer service, DeepMind 2.0 could enable
more understanding and effective interactions between businesses and their clients.
However, the announcement has sparked a heated debate among experts. While many praise
the potential benefits of the technology, others have raised serious concerns. Professor David Lee, a
leading expert in technology ethics, warns that the ability to analyze and respond to emotions could
be misused. “This technology could lead to privacy violations (侵犯), emotional control, or even
harmful treatment” he said. “For example, companies might use it to influence consumer behavior in
unethical (不道德的) ways, or governments could use it to monitor citizens’ emotions without their
permission.”
Despite these concerns, Deepseek remains optimistic about the future of DeepMind 2.0. The
company has emphasized its commitment to ethical AI development, including strict data privacy
measures and openness about the technology's use. Dr. Zhang stated, “We believe that the benefits of
this technology—improving mental health, enhancing education, and building better human
connections—are much greater than the risks.”
Deepseek plans to launch DeepMind 2.0 globally by the end of this year. They’ll start by using
it for medical care and teaching. The company is also working with policymakers and ethicists to
establish guidelines for the responsible use of emotional AI.
28. What is the primary function of DeepMind 2.0
A. To develop new algorithms for data analysis.
B. To analyze and respond to human emotions accurately.
C. To improve the speed of internet connections.
D. To replace human workers in various industries.
29. According to Dr. Emily Zhang, what makes DeepMind 2.0 unique
第 5 页；共 12 页
A. It can operate without any human input.
B. It focuses simply on customer service applications.
C. It can solve complex mathematical problems.
D. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze emotions.
30. What is one major concern raised by Professor David Lee
A. It could cause privacy violations or emotional control.
B. The technology might be too expensive for widespread use.
C. It may not be effective in educational settings.
D. It could cause job losses in the technology sector.
31. What steps has Deepseek taken to address ethical concerns
A. It has stopped the development of DeepMind 2.0.
B. It has decided to limit the use of the technology to healthcare.
C. It has adopted strict data privacy measures and openness.
D. It has partnered with companies to increase profits.

When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he brought back an unusual
souvenir: a huge bag of penguin feathers. And after a decade-long analysis, he and his colleagues
have figured out how to use such feathers to create a living map of the mercury (汞) pollution that
increasingly threatens Southern Hemisphere wildlife.
Mercury builds up as it moves up the food chain. Tracking mercury exposure is crucial for
keeping track of an ecosystem — but only sampling rocks, ice or soil for its presence tells little
about how much is actually entering the food web.
Many predators (捕食性动物), including penguins, have evolved ways to get rid of mercury,
which builds up in feathers that they regularly molt. Sontag hoped to use those feathers to determine
where penguins picked up the harmful chemicals. They were surprised to find a correlation between
the feathers’ levels of mercury and of a carbon isotope (同位素) called carbon-13; the latter varies
based on geographic location and thus acts as an indicator (指示器) of where the penguins are
feeding or where their breeding grounds are.
These findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators: living trackers of
environmental pollutants. Rather than measuring the chemical itself at a specific time and location,
measuring penguin feathers’ mercury levels tracks its movement through the food web. For instance,
penguin species known to live near one another had varying mercury and carbon-13 levels because
第 6 页；共 12 页
of their different migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like
database to help guide future projects on conservation and polar science research.
And how are the penguins doing with their current mercury levels “We don’t believe penguins
have been exposed to harmful levels as of yet,” Sontag says. “Yes, the penguins will be okay.”
32. What is the purpose of Sontag’s study
A. To track penguins’ migration routes.
B. To explore the food chain in Antarctica.
C. To compare carbon-13 levels across species.
D. To analyze mercury pollution in ecosystems.
33. What does the underlined word “molt” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Give out. B. Gather up. C. Drop off. D. Pick up.
34. What role does carbon-13 play in the study
A. It indicates penguins’ growth stages.
B. It helps locate penguins’ feeding sites.
C. It predicts penguins’ population changes.
D. It shows the amount of mercury in penguins.
35. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The process of creating a map-like database.
B. The significance of penguins as bioindicators.
C. The features of penguins’ migration and feeding patterns.
D. The methods of measuring mercury levels in penguin feathers.

Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money
It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever. There are expensive
clothes, video games, MP3 players, and more. 36 That’s why it’s important to help them
understand the value of money.
Start teaching your children about money early. Starting around age 10, give them a few dollars
every week for them to spend however they want. 37 But let them choose what they want to
do. Don’t set limits on what they can spend it on, and don’t continually buy them things they want.
They’ll soon learn that if they spend all their money as soon as they get it, they won’t be able to
第 7 页；共 12 页
afford more expensive things they want.
You should also start early introducing your children to budgets (预算) and how much things
cost. Have them go to the store with you or watch you pay the bills. 38
As your child gets older, about 13 or 14, increase their pocket money as you increase their
responsibility. Once they’re more responsible, give them a budget for something bigger like clothes
and make them stick to it.
Eventually, your child will probably get a job. 39 Have them put some into a savings
account to use for college or other pursuits. Let them use the rest as mad money to spend however
they want. If you’re worried about what they’re buying, open them a checking account you can
monitor.
40 It takes many small steps. Remember that they will probably mess up along the way,
but mistakes are how they learn.
A. Help them choose a well-paid job.
B. And you can also encourage them to pay the bills.
C. Take this opportunity to teach them about savings.
D. Soon they’ll realize how much some things really cost.
E. Make the pocket money dependent on doing housework.
F. Teaching your child the value of money will not happen overnight.
G. If you aren’t made of money, it’s hard to give your kids everything they want.

As wildfires continued to rage across Southern California, rescuers were working 41 to
save not just 42 but also the innocent animals caught in the disaster.
Kalyna Fedorowycz, a 16-year-old equestrian (马术骑手), turned up to rescue a horse named

When I was seven, my sister Lucy, who was four, and I were eager to be independent and earn
some money to show our parents that we were capable beyond our years. The only idea I could come
up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’
gardens for 2 dollars each.
Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house,
accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed
on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain
ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were
going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the
attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment.
Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen
through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little
gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead, she found our initiative amusing. She
explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced
with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime.
Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We
did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next.
As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you was like to go to Disneyland
this afternoon ” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a
birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The
