Good morning, everyone. The quote means that it is your family members who love you the most and tolerate all your inappropriate behavior, while it is they who you treat with the most impolite attitude or behavior.
Personally, I believe this idea holds true. I tend to be less polite and more relaxed, sometimes even rude at home. However, I wouldn’t do that with friends or strangers because I have to behave properly toward them.
In summary, while home is where we experience the most love, it’s also where we can sometimes show our worst sides, knowing we won’t lose that love.
Thank you!

Taking a deep breath, Eliza knocked on the door. “Come in,” Ms. White called from inside. “Ah, Eliza Have you thought about the bulletin board ” Ms. White asked. Eliza expressed her concerns about her messy handwriting. Ms. White reassured her, saying it wasn’t about perfection but about doing her best. She encouraged Eliza to focus on her creativity and positive energy. Eliza hesitated, still unsure, but Ms. White reminded her that trying, even with doubts, was what mattered most. Ms. White smiled brightly. “If you need anything, I’m here.”
After some thought, Eliza replied, “OK, I’ll give it a try.” Ms. White immediately stood up and handed her a few blank papers and markers. “We’ll start small. Let’s plan it together,” she suggested. Eliza smiled, feeling more at ease with her teacher’s support. They spent the next few minutes discussing ideas for the bulletin board. As Eliza sketched out some designs, she realized that maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all. With Ms. White’s help, what she would do was try her best to plan for the upcoming competition, and that was enough.2025-2026学年山西省大同市灵丘豪洋中学高一上学期期中英语试题 考生注意：

In Washington, D. C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window.
This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating (迁徙), flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass.
Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool, stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air.
The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%.
Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds.
24. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher
A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk.
25. What is the main reason birds collide with windows
A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights.
C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating.
26. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season
A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country.
C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help.
27. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds
A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Pointless. D. Expensive.
C
The Sahara Desert is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving only about 3 inches of rainfall each year. This is just one-tenth of what cities like Chicago experience. However, scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago predict (预测) that the Sahara could become significantly wetter in the latter half of the 21st century.
Their findings suggest that the Sahara could receive up to 75% more rainfall compared with its historical average. The researchers also project that southeastern and south-central Africa might receive more rain, especially under extreme climate (气候) conditions.
“Changing rainfall patterns (模式) will affect billions of people, both in and outside Africa,” said lead author Thierry Ndetatsin Taguela, a climate expert. “We have to start planning to face these changes, from flood management to drought-resistant crops.”
Taguela pointed out that understanding how rising temperatures impact rainfall is important for developing strategies to deal with these changes. In the study, he used 40 climate models to predict summer rainfall across Africa in the second half of the 21st century (2050 — 2099) compared with the historical period (1965 — 2014).
The models showed that rainfall over Africa will generally increase by the end of the 21st century. Notably, the Sahara Desert is expected to receive 75% more rainfall, southeastern Africa will see a 25% increase, and south-central Africa will experience a 17% rise in rainfall.
“It is surprising for the Sahara to nearly double its historical rainfall,” Taguela said. “But while most models agree on the overall trend of wetter conditions, there’s still uncertainty about how much the rainfall will actually increase. Upgrading these models is key to making reliable predictions.”
For the most part, these projected changes are related to the effects of climate change, as higher temperatures help the atmosphere hold more moisture, which in turn leads to rainfall. At the same time, changes in wind patterns also play a part in affecting rainfall.
28. What did the research show about the Sahara Desert
A. It would remain the driest place. B. It would turn into a liveable land.
C. It would experience less rainfall. D. It would become wetter than ever.
29. What did Taguela want to stress in paragraph 3
A. Climate change is an avoidable issue. B. Extreme climate conditions are a repeat.
C. We have to prepare for changes in rainfall. D. Rainfall patterns are usually unbelievable.
30. What can we know about the climate models in the study
A. They are correct and true. B. They need improving.
C. They erase public doubts. D. They make little sense.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The forces behind rainfall. B. The changes in climate patterns.
C. The predicted rise in rainfall. D. The impact of clouds on rainfall.
D
Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common, but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day.
“Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.”
The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go.
Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”
32. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily
A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%.
33. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible.
34. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents
A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups.
C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students
C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease

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。
The final class of the day was PE, and Eliza was having a great time skipping rope on the sports field. Her classmates gathered around, cheering her on. Skipping rope was her best sport, and she was fast. The rope spun quickly as she jumped, and when the timer went off, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Eliza raised her hand in a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day.
Eliza packed up her skipping rope, but her mind was focused on something else — she had to make a decision. That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would take charge of the class bulletin board (布告栏) for an upcoming competition. Anna, the student who usually did it, was sick, and someone needed to step in. Eliza was surprised that Ms. White had chosen her. She was nervous and said that her handwriting wasn’t good enough. But Ms. White encouraged her to think it over and promised to let her make the final decision by the end of the day.
Now, as Eliza walked toward the teachers’ office, her heart raced. The thought of her handwriting being displayed on the bulletin board for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already decided she would say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace (步伐), almost running across the sports field.
When Eliza reached the office, she still felt nervous. She stood outside the door for a moment, trying to calm herself. The idea of saying no to Ms. White made her feel guilty (愧疚). Ms. White had been so kind, and now she was putting all her trust in Eliza. But the thought of her messy handwriting being on display weighed on her. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for such a big responsibility.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Eliza knocked on the door.
