They held pencils awkwardly, tracing letters on lined paper, their eyes wide with focus. The unusual classroom was led by 48-year-old Beena Kalathiya, who smiled gently, offering quiet words of encouragement to her students — most of them older than herself.Beena’s journey into education didn’t begin in a university or a training institute. It began in the heart of her home. Like many women in India, she spent years juggling chores, raising children, and putting her family first. But when her children grew up and moved on, something shifted. With time on her hands and a mind full of purpose, she turned to voluntary service and decided to fill a gap that society had long forgotten. In her words, “Many of our elders never had the chance to go to school. Now the world is changing so fast, and they often feel left behind. ”Determined to change that narrative, Beena started small. Her first classroom was the street itself, lit only by a single streetlight. A few curious women joined her, hesitant at first, but warmed by Beena’s patience and kindness. Slowly, letters turned into words, and words into sentences. Nine years later, what began under a streetlight has blossomed into a full classroom at a local senior citizens’ centre.With no large Non-Governmental Organization backing her and no sponsorship banners (横幅) in sight, Beena funds the school herself. By day, she runs a small business with her sisters. Whatever they earn goes straight into buying notebooks, pencils, and chalk.But Beena is giving her students much more than literacy. She is giving them dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The curiosity and laughter that fill Beena’s classroom each afternoon are proof that knowledge can be acquired at any stage of life.24. How does the author begin the story A. By describing a traditional classroom. B. By introducing the background.C. By representing an impressive scene. D. By exposing the poor conditions.25. What problem did Beena realize A. Indian women are often unfairly treated.B. Indian education is in a desperate situation.C. Educational resources are limited in villages.D. Education for the Indian old has been ignored.26. Which of the following can best describe Beena A. Ambitious and grateful. B. Selfless and committed.C. Creative and confident. D. Responsible and strict.27. What can we learn from this passage A. Never too late to begin again. B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Natural talent guarantees one’s success.CThe message is repeatedly told to us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you because it’s the only way to heal. Forgiving someone can indeed be beautiful, but if the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good.Most agree forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger and hatred towards them, expecting to put it all behind us as if nothing happened. Yet this pressure to “move on” can make us feel our experiences don’t matter, or, at least, that they matter less than the situation being smoothed over. This isn’t helpful. While it’s not a good idea to focus on negative thoughts, recognizing and processing all of that pain is an important part of the healing journey.Forgiving those who don’t make us feel safe chips away at our dignity. A 2010 study called this the “doormat effect”: forgiving partners who don’t value us reduces self-respect, along with a decreased sense of self. The same applies to forgiving those who refuse to make changes, probably because the victims feel they fail to stand up for themselves, like they’ve let themselves be walked over, as the author puts it.Things can get worse if we keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong. A 2011 study looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of offence(冒犯), and whether this caused any changes in the offenders’ behaviour. It turned out that when a partner forgave those acts, the offender was more likely to keep doing them probably because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being forgiven can be a kind of pass to avoid making changes.This reveals the tension in always forgiving: it burdens victims to resolve issues, not offenders. What if, instead of looking to forgiveness like a cure-all, we accept a situation for what it is without any sense of obligation towards our offender This way, healing will still be a process, but it’s one centred around us and our own needs.28. What do most people believe about forgiveness A. It offers a quick solution to all emotional conflicts.B. It always strengthens the relationship between people.C. It means forgetting unpleasant things happening in the past.D. It depends on the wrongdoer making meaningful changes first.29. What does the underline phrase “chips away at” in the paragraph 3 mean A. gradually weakens B. accidentally destroysC. carefully repairs D. intentionally ignores30. What does the “doormat effect” in paragraph 3 explain A. Victims forgiving a wrongdoer increases their motivation to change.B. Forgiveness plays a major role in healthy communication.C. Forgiveness reflects the offender’s failure to insist on their boundaries.D. Unconditional forgiveness may have a negative impact on the victim.31. What alternative approach does the author suggest for healing A. Cutting off all contact with offenders. B. Pretending the offense never occurred.C. Forcing offenders to admit their mistakes. D. Prioritizing one’s own needs and well-being.DResearchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract, the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor”. This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.32. What did the researcher do before introducing the song to the chingolos A. They recorded new songs from adult chingolos.B. They created an artificial version of the lost song.C. They taught the birds to respond to three devices.D. They studied the songs of different bird populations.33. What is a role of chingolos’ song A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat.34. What is the purpose of the random pauses A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed.C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text A. The Cultural Side of Bird Songs B. How Technology Recreates Lost Bird SongsC. Bringing a Lost Bird Song Back to Life D. How Chingolos Pass Their Songs Down第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Life is inevitably accompanied by various forms of adversity, including academic setbacks, interpersonal conflicts and unexpected failures. 36 As a matter of fact, adversity rarely destroys us completely. Instead, it polishes our character, builds our willpower and prepares us for future challenges. 37 Many individuals tend to feel discouraged and choose to give up when faced with severe obstacles. True courage, however, does not mean the absence of fear. It refers to the ability to keep moving forward despite inner worry and uncertainty, and it can be gradually cultivated through continuous experience.Since adversity is an unavoidable part of growth, we have no way to escape it in our life. 38 . Rather than complaining about unfair situations or avoiding pressure blindly, we should learn to accept difficulties bravely and draw lessons from every failure. Each painful experience serves as a valuable opportunity for self-improvement.Furthermore, it is unwise to fight against severe adversity all by ourselves. 39 . Sincere advice and emotional comfort from people around us can greatly reduce our pressure and offer new solutions to our troubles.In brief, adversity acts as a precious test of our perseverance and courage. A strong mind enables us to survive various tough times. 40 .A. Most students give up their goals because of temporary failure.B. But we are capable of adjusting our attitudes towards adversity.C. Positive attitudes can immediately remove all difficulties in life.D. Courage plays a vital role in overcoming various kinds of adversity.E. External support from others can make a huge difference in hard times.F. Nobody can enjoy a completely smooth and trouble-free life all the time.G. Armed with courage, we can overcome obstacles and achieve self-improvement.二、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)“Mom, we need to come up with a hobby to do together on Skype,” my daughter Kristen said one day.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added.Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself.But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw ”Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest That sounds fun!”“Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.”Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.”The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold.“There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly.Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered.注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________山西大学附中2026~2027学年高二第一学期10月(总第二次)模块诊断英语试题答案第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)1—5 ABCCA 6—10 BCACB 11—15 CBCBC 16—20 BCBCB第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)21—23 CCB 24—27 CDBA 28—31 CADD 32—35 BCDC 36—40 FDBEG第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空41-45 CABDC 46-50 ACBAA 51-55 DCDBD第二节 语法填空56. chefs 57.

Curious about the place Nate had often mentioned, Briana followed him down a country lane. Golden sunlight poured over the fields, making the wheat shine like waves. A flock of sheep wandered across the grass, while wildflowers sparkled with drops of dew. Briana stopped again and again, pointing out things Nate had never noticed. Following her gaze, Nate suddenly realized that the farm was far from boring. He quickly took out his sketchbook and began to draw the farm, eager to show others its beauty.On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Students, parents and local residents gathered around the drawings, waiting for the results. When Ms. Kim announced that Nate’s drawing had won first prize, applause filled the room. Turning to Briana, Nate thanked her sincerely for helping him see his hometown differently. Briana smiled, saying that the beauty had always been there. Looking at his drawing, Nate felt a deep affection for Highland. He finally understood that familiar places can seem ordinary only because we are used to them.Possible version 2Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.

She admired the maple trees glowing in the autumn sunlight, the sheep wandering across the fields and the wildflowers beside the old barn. “How beautiful!” she exclaimed. Nate looked around and felt surprised. He had grown up here and seen these things countless times, yet he had never really noticed them. Inspired by Briana’s fresh perspective, he took out his sketchbook and started drawing. Soon, the familiar farm appeared on the page in a way he had never imagined.On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. When Ms. Kim announced the winners, Nate did not hear his name. For a moment, disappointment crossed his face, but then he looked at his drawing and smiled. Briana came over and told him that her favorite picture was still his. Nate realized that winning was not the most important thing. Through the contest, he had learned to see the beauty of his hometown with fresh eyes. He thanked Briana sincerely, and together they stood quietly, admiring the drawings on the wall.听力原文1M: Mary strikes me as an efficient person.

I feel uncomfortable.M: Did you talk a lot yesterday or eat spicy food last night W: Neither. I think it’s because I didn’t wear a thick coat in the cold wind yesterday.5M: Guess what My favorite band is coming to our city for a concert in two months!W: In May But isn’t that when you have a ton of work M: You’re right. I’ll have to figure something out. I can’t miss this show!6-7M: Hello, Tina! I need you to book a tour for me, something like Cebu in the Philippines W: OK.
