原文： Hello, everyone! Here is a piece of news from Llithfaen. We know, Llithfaen once had a population of 600 but that halved when nearby factories were closed. The primary school was shut because of the population decline but the locals turned it into a leisure centre and youth club. Last week, people of Llithfaen clubbed together to buy the only shop, ten years after buying the pub. Now they have helped to keep the shop open. Most of the cost, ￡19, 500, was met by the local government, but the villagers needed to raise a further ￡6, 000 to buy the shop from the aged owner who is retiring. John Jones, chairman of the community committee, went around every house and came back with ￡500 more than they needed. Now the shop belongs to all the villagers and is run by a young couple, who were touched by the wonderful community spirit here.

The National Gallery
Discover the collection
The National Gallery displays one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of European painting. It includes many famous works, such as Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velazquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are represented from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.
This plan will help you to explore the collection. You may wish to start by finding one of the famous paintings illustrated overleaf. You can also plan your route using the ArtStart touch-screen guides. Free guided tours and a variety of audio guides are available.
For further information, ask at Information Desks or pick up the What’s On and Book Now guides for full details of talks, tours and family events.
A public collection
The paintings in the National Gallery belong to the public and entrance to see them is free. The Gallery was founded in 1824, but it did not acquire its current home, designed by William Wilkins, until 1838. The site in Trafalgar Square was chosen for its central location, accessible to both the rich of West London and the poorer communities of the East End. The building has been extended and improved over the years, most notably in 1991 with the opening of the Sainsbury Wing, designed by Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates. The Gallery continues to ensure that the widest possible public can enjoy the paintings.

Not long before writing this note, I set out with Gracie to hike a favorite trail, which is how I found myself out of breath up a steep Berkshires hillside in late-winter snow. The trail hadn’t been broken, and there was a wild wind. I paused at a fork. One way led to the highest point in the preserve, our goal for the day, and the other descended, wrapped around the cliff and back to the parking area. A longer but easier trail that passed by an impressive beaver dam we always loved to see. Gracie sat, her wagging tail making a one-winged snow angel.
I thought of cancer survivor Lynne Hartke’s brave story in this issue, about struggle to reach the top of El Minsti, a dormant volcano in Peru, and the lesson she learned. Like Lynne, I hate to give up before reaching a goal, even if mine was more modest. Yet maybe, like Lynne, I should recognize that my plan is not always God’s plan, not today at least, and maybe not on any given day.
We don’t pick stories for an issue around a certain theme. Still, a theme sometimes suggests itself as the pieces develop. Take our cover story, by Mary Bryant Shrader. Her plan was to become a hard-charging corporate lawyer. Now she’s a You Tube cooking star and prepper, teaching people traditional ways of keeping a kitchen. Little did she know how that philosophy would influence her faith in a moment of crisis. In her story, Night and Day, all Jessica Reed desired for was to be normal. Yet was her idea of “normal” God’s idea Take a cross-country ride with Jim Hinch and son in The Two Dudes, and witness how the best-laid plans of a father can take a different turn.
In my life, I’ve learned that the path laid out before me was not the one I thought I would follow. And yet it has brought great fortune. Even on a late-winter day on a snowy hillside trail. “Come on, Gracie,” I said. “Let’s go see the beavers.”
24. How did the author feel when pausing at the fork
A. Confident. B. Hesitant. C. Determined. D. Impatient.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “modest” in paragraph 2
A. Ordinary. B. Challenging. C. Expensive. D. Hidden.
26. What is common among Lynne Hartke, Mary Shrader, and Jessica Reed
A. They failed in career. B. They shifted personal goals.
C. They broke former plans. D. They found faith through nature.
27. Why does the author write this passage
A. To criticize strict planning. B. To promote religious beliefs.
C. To encourage flexible thinking. D. To describe a hiking adventure.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C
C
Dogs have been close four-legged friends of humans for as long as we can remember, but exactly how long has this relationship lasted Scientists may finally have an answer, thanks to a new study on ancient human remains found in Alaska. The research suggests that the strong bond between humans and the ancestors of today’s dogs began 12,000 years ago.
“We now have proof that dogs and humans had close connections earlier than we thought in the Americas” said the study’s lead author, Francois Lanoe, an assistant researcher at the University of Arizona’s School of Anthropology.
“People interested in the origins of the Americas want to know if the first humans arrived with dogs. Until we find these animals in old digging sites, we can only guess — it’s hard to confirm. This discovery is very significant.”
In a 2018 archaeological study, the same team found a lower leg bone from an adult dog-like animal at a site in Alaska. Carbon dating showed the animal lived 12,000 years ago, near the end of the Ice Age. More recently, in June 2023, the team dug up an 8,100-year-old jawbone from a similar animal at a nearby site.
For the new study, scientists performed chemical tests on these bones. They found salmon proteins, suggesting these animals ate fish regularly. This was unusual because dog-like animals at the time only hunted land animals, showing human influence.
While the team believes this is the earliest known relationship between humans and dogs, they say it’s too soon to be certain. A key question remains: “What defines a dog ” said Dr. Ben Potter, a co-author of the study and an archaeologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Though these creatures acted and looked like dogs, they might be too ancient to be genetically connected to modern dogs we know today.
28. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A new study proves dogs originated in Alaska.
B. Ancient dogs survived the Ice Age by eating fish.
C. Scientists discovered the oldest human remains in America.
D. Humans and dogs developed a close bond 12,000 years ago.
29. What can we infer about the significance of the discovery
A. It confirms dogs arrived in America before humans.
B. It provides clues about early human-dog interactions.
C. It solves the mystery of modern dog genetics.
D. It disproves previous theories about the Ice Age.
30. How was the age of the bone determined in the 2018 study
A. Genetic testing. B. Carbon dating.
C. Protein analysis. D. Site comparison.
31. Why is the team uncertain about the earliest human-dog relationship
A. Weak genetic connection. B. Lack of multiple bone samples.
C. Confusion over defining “dog”. D. Inconclusive salmon protein results.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C
D
The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance.
This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Henry retold this story.
How does this apply to real life Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise.
A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily — making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning.
When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously.
The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick.
Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships.
32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1
A. To emphasize its importance.
B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice.
C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book.
D. To introduce the theme of relationship.
33. What is Schopenhauer’s core solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”
A. Avoid closeness. B. Seek therapy.
C. Ignore pain. D. Build walls.
34. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice
A. Defense behavior of people. B. Freud’s studies.
C. Longevity from social ties. D. Henry’s short film.
35. What does Sanders say about close connection
A. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully.
B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously.
C. It can help children relieve childhood pain.
D. People should make gradual progress in it.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D

One thing that most of us will agree on is that there is a lot of “stuff” in the world. And with environmental and economic concerns on our minds, wouldn’t it make sense if we could share things between us a bit more ____36____ Sharing libraries offer useful items to local people, who are able to borrow and return them, free of charge or for a very low fee.
These collections tend to focus on common things that we all need, but which we don’t use constantly. This saves on the environmental impact of producing the items by reducing the demand for new things.
____37____ For families, financial barriers can mean that things like toys or comfortable clothing can be knocked down the priorities list. But these libraries create a sense of equality in the community, meaning that individuals don’t need to go without.
There are several ways to find out where your closest sharing library is. ____38____ It maps 50 libraries across the UK. But if your area isn’t listed by those sites, don’t give up hope. Some communities will set up smaller, informal versions of these libraries — for example, street WhatsApp groups where people ask if anyone on the road has the thing they’re looking to borrow, or local pass-it-on groups. ____39____ Attend the Network’s online workshops to learn more about sharing libraries and how to set one up for themselves.
In a world where we’re encouraged to continue to collect more and more stuff, sharing libraries are taking a stand for the environment and for our personal finances. So, next time you find yourself in need of something handy, consider looking for a way to borrow it. ____40____
A. Still no luck
B. If unlisted, search locally.
C. At the core of sharing libraries is greater access.
D. This is the fundamental idea behind sharing libraries.
E. This concept challenges traditional ownership models.
F. Start by checking the UK Sharing Libraries Network website.
G. It’ll be easy on the planet, easy on your pocket, and great for the community.

I like things to balance, partly because of my name, “Ava.” When something bothers me, I try to balance the bad with the good. That’s why I don’t mind being the tallest kid in third grade.
Bad: Have to stand in the back row of my class picture.
Good: Can reach the books on the top library shelf.
Bad: Everyone always points out how tall I am.
Good: Sometimes I want people to notice me. So it balances.
One day, a new girl, Ava Zafra, comes to school, and she’s the shortest kid in third grade. Now everyone calls me “Ava J.” and the new girl “Ava Z.” I thought if we had the same name, maybe we were alike. During art class, I paint a kitten sliding down a rainbow. Ava Z. paints her shoes black. She shouts, “I am an alien hunter! Fear me!” We aren’t alike.
During a break, Samir yells, “Over there, Ava!” When I look at Samir, he shakes his head. “Not you, Big Ava. I meant Little Ava.” From then on, I’m not just Ava. I’m not even Ava J. — I’m Big Ava. I try to think of something good about being big, but I can’t remember anything good.
The next day, Ms. Wu has a surprise. “Everyone, let’s draw to pick the speaking roles for our class play!” she announces. “It’s called Clever Jack. He rescues a princess from a giant with the help of a wood fairy.”
The fairy! Maybe I can wear my fairy costume. I cross my fingers when she picks the name. “The fairy will be Ava Z.,” Ms. Wu says. Then, she pulls one more name from the jar and looks at me. “Ava. J. will be the giant.” My heart sinks. The ugly, scary giant My only line is, “ARRGH!” I hate yelling! I don’t want to be too big!
Our class rehearses (排练) until we know every line. The day before the play, we try on our costumes. When it’s my turn, Ms. Wu drops a burlap (麻布) robe over my head. I am an ugly, scary giant.
I run to the bathroom, so no one will see my cry. I’m not alone.

【答案】
Little Ava is there, and she’s crying, too. “Don’t look at me! I look silly.” she yells, wiping her tears. “I don’t want to be the fairy — I want to be fierce, like the giant!” she confesses. Her voice trembles and I realize she is as upset as I am. “I don’t want to be big. Too bad we can’t trade.” I murmur. Before I can continue, she suddenly looks up at me like an evil fairy, her eyes flashing with an idea. “Maybe we can.” I exchange a glance with her. Yes, we two Avas could balance! The next day, We are in the backstage. Everyone in school is in the audience.
“Ready to exchange ” asks Little Ava. I nod eagerly, and we scramble to swap costumes. She drowns in the giant’s robe, but when I smear black makeup around her eyes, she grins wickedly. “Perfect,” she whispers. “Now I’m the monster.” Little Ava stomps onto the stage, her tiny frame hidden under the robe, and delivers “ARRGH” so fierce that the front-row kids gasp. Meanwhile, I float in my fairy costume, taller than everyone but finally unafraid. After the play, Ms. Wu holds our hands while everyone cheers. “Big and Little Ava power!” I whisper to her. I’ve never felt bigger, and that’s definitely good.2025年江岸区高一年级七月质量检测英语试题

The National Gallery
Discover the collection
The National Gallery displays one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of European painting. It includes many famous works, such as Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velazquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are represented from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.
This plan will help you to explore the collection. You may wish to start by finding one of the famous paintings illustrated overleaf. You can also plan your route using the ArtStart touch-screen guides. Free guided tours and a variety of audio guides are available.
For further information, ask at Information Desks or pick up the What’s On and Book Now guides for full details of talks, tours and family events.
A public collection
The paintings in the National Gallery belong to the public and entrance to see them is free. The Gallery was founded in 1824, but it did not acquire its current home, designed by William Wilkins, until 1838. The site in Trafalgar Square was chosen for its central location, accessible to both the rich of West London and the poorer communities of the East End. The building has been extended and improved over the years, most notably in 1991 with the opening of the Sainsbury Wing, designed by Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates. The Gallery continues to ensure that the widest possible public can enjoy the paintings.
If you do not wish to keep this plan, please return it to an Information Desk for recycling.

Not long before writing this note, I set out with Gracie to hike a favorite trail, which is how I found myself out of breath up a steep Berkshires hillside in late-winter snow. The trail hadn’t been broken, and there was a wild wind. I paused at a fork. One way led to the highest point in the preserve, our goal for the day, and the other descended, wrapped around the cliff and back to the parking area. A longer but easier trail that passed by an impressive beaver dam we always loved to see. Gracie sat, her wagging tail making a one-winged snow angel.
I thought of cancer survivor Lynne Hartke’s brave story in this issue, about struggle to reach the top of El Minsti, a dormant volcano in Peru, and the lesson she learned. Like Lynne, I hate to give up before reaching a goal, even if mine was more modest. Yet maybe, like Lynne, I should recognize that my plan is not always God’s plan, not today at least, and maybe not on any given day.
We don’t pick stories for an issue around a certain theme. Still, a theme sometimes suggests itself as the pieces develop. Take our cover story, by Mary Bryant Shrader. Her plan was to become a hard-charging corporate lawyer. Now she’s a You Tube cooking star and prepper, teaching people traditional ways of keeping a kitchen. Little did she know how that philosophy would influence her faith in a moment of crisis. In her story, Night and Day, all Jessica Reed desired for was to be normal. Yet was her idea of “normal” God’s idea Take a cross-country ride with Jim Hinch and son in The Two Dudes, and witness how the best-laid plans of a father can take a different turn.
In my life, I’ve learned that the path laid out before me was not the one I thought I would follow. And yet it has brought great fortune. Even on a late-winter day on a snowy hillside trail. “Come on, Gracie,” I said. “Let’s go see the beavers.”
24. How did the author feel when pausing at the fork
A. Confident. B. Hesitant. C. Determined. D. Impatient.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “modest” in paragraph 2
A. Ordinary. B. Challenging. C. Expensive. D. Hidden.
26. What is common among Lynne Hartke, Mary Shrader, and Jessica Reed
A. They failed in career. B. They shifted personal goals.
C. They broke former plans. D. They found faith through nature.
27. Why does the author write this passage
A. To criticize strict planning. B. To promote religious beliefs.
C. To encourage flexible thinking. D. To describe a hiking adventure.
C
Dogs have been close four-legged friends of humans for as long as we can remember, but exactly how long has this relationship lasted Scientists may finally have an answer, thanks to a new study on ancient human remains found in Alaska. The research suggests that the strong bond between humans and the ancestors of today’s dogs began 12,000 years ago.
“We now have proof that dogs and humans had close connections earlier than we thought in the Americas” said the study’s lead author, Francois Lanoe, an assistant researcher at the University of Arizona’s School of Anthropology.
“People interested in the origins of the Americas want to know if the first humans arrived with dogs. Until we find these animals in old digging sites, we can only guess — it’s hard to confirm. This discovery is very significant.”
In a 2018 archaeological study, the same team found a lower leg bone from an adult dog-like animal at a site in Alaska. Carbon dating showed the animal lived 12,000 years ago, near the end of the Ice Age. More recently, in June 2023, the team dug up an 8,100-year-old jawbone from a similar animal at a nearby site.
For the new study, scientists performed chemical tests on these bones. They found salmon proteins, suggesting these animals ate fish regularly. This was unusual because dog-like animals at the time only hunted land animals, showing human influence.
While the team believes this is the earliest known relationship between humans and dogs, they say it’s too soon to be certain. A key question remains: “What defines a dog ” said Dr. Ben Potter, a co-author of the study and an archaeologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Though these creatures acted and looked like dogs, they might be too ancient to be genetically connected to modern dogs we know today.
28. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A new study proves dogs originated in Alaska.
B. Ancient dogs survived the Ice Age by eating fish.
C. Scientists discovered the oldest human remains in America.
D. Humans and dogs developed a close bond 12,000 years ago.
29. What can we infer about the significance of the discovery
A. It confirms dogs arrived in America before humans.
B. It provides clues about early human-dog interactions.
C. It solves the mystery of modern dog genetics.
D. It disproves previous theories about the Ice Age.
30. How was the age of the bone determined in the 2018 study
A. Genetic testing. B. Carbon dating.
C. Protein analysis. D. Site comparison.
31. Why is the team uncertain about the earliest human-dog relationship
A. Weak genetic connection. B. Lack of multiple bone samples.
C. Confusion over defining “dog”. D. Inconclusive salmon protein results.
D
The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance.
This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Henry retold this story.
How does this apply to real life Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise.
A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily — making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning.
When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously.
The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick.
Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships.
32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1
A. To emphasize its importance.
B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice.
C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book.
D. To introduce the theme of relationship.
33. What is Schopenhauer’s core solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”
A. Avoid closeness. B. Seek therapy.
C. Ignore pain. D. Build walls.
34. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice
A. Defense behavior of people. B. Freud’s studies.
C. Longevity from social ties. D. Henry’s short film.
35. What does Sanders say about close connection
A. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully.
B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously.
C. It can help children relieve childhood pain.
D. People should make gradual progress in it.

One thing that most of us will agree on is that there is a lot of “stuff” in the world. And with environmental and economic concerns on our minds, wouldn’t it make sense if we could share things between us a bit more ____36____ Sharing libraries offer useful items to local people, who are able to borrow and return them, free of charge or for a very low fee.
These collections tend to focus on common things that we all need, but which we don’t use constantly. This saves on the environmental impact of producing the items by reducing the demand for new things.
____37____ For families, financial barriers can mean that things like toys or comfortable clothing can be knocked down the priorities list. But these libraries create a sense of equality in the community, meaning that individuals don’t need to go without.
There are several ways to find out where your closest sharing library is. ____38____ It maps 50 libraries across the UK. But if your area isn’t listed by those sites, don’t give up hope. Some communities will set up smaller, informal versions of these libraries — for example, street WhatsApp groups where people ask if anyone on the road has the thing they’re looking to borrow, or local pass-it-on groups. ____39____ Attend the Network’s online workshops to learn more about sharing libraries and how to set one up for themselves.
In a world where we’re encouraged to continue to collect more and more stuff, sharing libraries are taking a stand for the environment and for our personal finances. So, next time you find yourself in need of something handy, consider looking for a way to borrow it. ____40____
A. Still no luck
B. If unlisted, search locally.
C. At the core of sharing libraries is greater access.
D. This is the fundamental idea behind sharing libraries.
E. This concept challenges traditional ownership models.
F. Start by checking the UK Sharing Libraries Network website.
G. It’ll be easy on the planet, easy on your pocket, and great for the community.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I like things to balance, partly because of my name, “Ava.” When something bothers me, I try to balance the bad with the good. That’s why I don’t mind being the tallest kid in third grade.
Bad: Have to stand in the back row of my class picture.
Good: Can reach the books on the top library shelf.
Bad: Everyone always points out how tall I am.
Good: Sometimes I want people to notice me. So it balances.
One day, a new girl, Ava Zafra, comes to school, and she’s the shortest kid in third grade. Now everyone calls me “Ava J.” and the new girl “Ava Z.” I thought if we had the same name, maybe we were alike. During art class, I paint a kitten sliding down a rainbow. Ava Z. paints her shoes black. She shouts, “I am an alien hunter! Fear me!” We aren’t alike.
During a break, Samir yells, “Over there, Ava!” When I look at Samir, he shakes his head. “Not you, Big Ava. I meant Little Ava.” From then on, I’m not just Ava. I’m not even Ava J. — I’m Big Ava. I try to think of something good about being big, but I can’t remember anything good.
The next day, Ms. Wu has a surprise. “Everyone, let’s draw to pick the speaking roles for our class play!” she announces. “It’s called Clever Jack. He rescues a princess from a giant with the help of a wood fairy.”
The fairy! Maybe I can wear my fairy costume. I cross my fingers when she picks the name. “The fairy will be Ava Z.,” Ms. Wu says. Then, she pulls one more name from the jar and looks at me. “Ava. J. will be the giant.” My heart sinks. The ugly, scary giant My only line is, “ARRGH!” I hate yelling! I don’t want to be too big!
Our class rehearses (排练) until we know every line. The day before the play, we try on our costumes. When it’s my turn, Ms. Wu drops a burlap (麻布) robe over my head. I am an ugly, scary giant.
I run to the bathroom, so no one will see my cry. I’m not alone.
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。
Little Ava is there, and she’s crying, too.
