（Text 1）
M：I missed the weather report this morning. Did you hear it？
W：Yes. It said，“Today is partly cloudy with a strong wind from the
northwest. But tomorrow you’ll see sunshine.”
（Text 2）
W：Father’s Day is on this weekend. Don’t forget to give our dad a
call on Sunday.
M：Oh， thanks for reminding me. I can never remember if I go out with
my classmates that day.
（Text 3）
W：When did you fall into the habit of drinking coffee， in high school or
at college？
M：Neither. I began it after I worked as a secretary here because I had to
work extra hours.
（Text 4）
W：What do you think of the movie we saw last night？
M：I have read the novel about it. Well， to be honest， I don’t think I
will see the movie twice.
（Text 5）
M：Mary， I heard that Sam is forming his own band. What’s the name
of the band？
W：Stay Away from the World. It will be a great success. Sam is very
good at playing the guitar. I know you play the drums well， so you can
join his band.
（Text 6）
W：Let’s take a coffee break， shall we？
M：I wish I could， but I can’t.
W：What keeps you so busy？ You’ve been sitting there for hours.
You’ve got to walk around. You can’t just stay in front of the computer
forever.
M： Well， I’m really very busy with my work. I’ve got to finish this
report. Mr Smith needs it by noon. I don’t want to be punished for not
finishing my work on time.
W：I understand that， but you’d feel better if you took a break， even
for just a short while.
（Text 7）
M：Why am I being charged 10 dollars for a movie that I never ordered？
W：Sir， according to the information on the computer， you spent
Monday evening watching the movie Fantastic Beasts： The Crimes of
Grindelwald.
M：Well， it is wrong. I was at a great concert that night.
W：Well， this wouldn’t be the first time that the information is wrong.
Just a moment， please. Sir， you shouldn’t be charged 10 dollars. But
you have to pay $2 for checking it.
M：You can’t do that！ You can’t charge me for a mistake that you
made！
W：I’m terribly sorry， sir. But that’s the rule.
（Text 8）
W：Because of all the earthquakes and fires， people living in California
like me are crazy.
M：That’s it， but big earthquakes happen only once in a while.
W：That is already too many. A big earthquake is a terrible disaster for
the locals.
M：You’re right. There have indeed happened a lot of fires.
W：A recent fire destroyed 85 houses， killing 11 people and leaving
more than 200 homeless.
M：Still， it’s safer than Florida and Texas.
W：Florida doesn’t have earthquakes and has less fires.
M：But Florida just has hurricanes every year from June to October.
W：But most of those hurricanes are harmless.
M：Excuse me. Hurricane Andrew destroyed 30，000 houses！
（Text 9）
W：Hi， George！ Welcome back from summer vacation. Did you have
a good time in Guizhou？
M：Yes， I did. It was everything I expected， and more. How about
you？ Did you go anywhere？
W：Yes， as a matter of fact I did. I spent a week in Shanghai trying to
get a job there.
M：Shanghai is such a wonderful city！ You’ll really enjoy living there.
W：I’m not so sure. Shanghai has a lot going for it， but I like Beijing
too.
M：What do you like best about Shanghai？
W：Shanghai is the business center of China， so there are lots of jobs，
and there’s always something new. It’s more modern than Beijing and
generally a convenient place to live.
M：Why would you want to stay in Beijing？
W：For one thing， Beijing has a sense of history. You know， there’s
no Great Wall in Shanghai！
M：That’s for sure. There’s no Forbidden City or Summer Palace，
either.
W：For another thing， I think people are very friendly in Beijing.
M：Yes， I can’t agree more. People from Beijing are really friendly！
W：But I’ve heard that men from Shanghai will help their wives with
housework. That’s the very quality I admire！
（Text 10）
I like to do sports and play video games in my free time.
Sometimes， I play video games by myself. I also invite friends over to
play. I really like games that deal with sports， role-playing，
adventure， but I don’t buy all games since I know that certain types of
games are not suitable for children. Playing video games helps me reduce
stress and kill some time， but it also can be addictive. A lot of people are
concerned that people waste too much time playing games and do not get
enough exercise because they sit in front of a computer or TV too much.
Also， some people say that children as well as adults tend to shut
themselves away and fail to develop relationships with others. I think if
you control how much you play them — I mean， not playing them too
much — then playing video games isn’t a bad way to spend some of your
time.

（2025·三明两校协作高一上期中）For the past few years， I’ve
taken my vacation in the spring.One April I planned to visit a friend in
Nepal who had lived in the country for over 15 years.
I flew into Kathmandu and spent a week visiting sites， and on
Friday， 24 April 2015， we went to Lukla， a mountain town to the
northeast.My friend had worked there before.We visited a nearby village
on Saturday.We were served a delicious pancake and endless cups of milk
tea； villagers made small talk and caught up with each other.After a
couple of hours， my friend and I made a polite exit （离去） for a coffee
break across the dirt path to our lodging， a house he had lived in while
working in Lukla years ago.
As we sat in the kitchen taking a rest， I wondered why it felt like an
underground was running under the village.As the sound started to
shake， I looked out of the window at the passers-by and thought it felt
like a truck was driving by — impossible in this village.I looked at my
friend and he said off-handedly：“It’s an earthquake.” Before I could
ask questions， he began shouting to get out of the house.By the time I
was running down the dirt path， I couldn’t run straight.
Away from buildings， we lowered our bodies near a low wall， and
unbelievably before our eyes， walls and buildings fell.In front of us the
end wall of the house we slept in collapsed （倒塌）， the stones
dislodging （移开） and falling to the ground.In a matter of seconds，
every house in the village was damaged with walls either seriously
cracked， or partially or completely damaged.
In the days and weeks that followed we checked in with friends and
shared stories of where we were and what we were doing.The event was
so wide-reaching that it was difficult to understand except through personal
stories.

（2025·重庆长寿中学高一上月考）As a shift in the polar vortex
（极地涡旋） swept across much of the US， many people in the country
were hit with a sudden snap of cold.Heavy ice and snow coupled with
fallen trees caused the outages in major cities， with companies unable to
tell their customers when power will be back on.
Polar vortices were noticed long ago.But the first known use of the
term “polar vortex” was in a magazine in 1853.Polar vortices are
present year-round， but we don’t hear about them until they cause
problems.They maintain freezing temperatures at the North and South
poles by moving in tight counter-clockwise （逆时针方向）
patterns.Polar vortices grow stronger in winter and weaken in
summer.They are kept in place at the poles by another atmospheric current
（大气流） called the jet stream （急流）.However， when the jet
streams weaken， the cold winds of the polar vortex are pushed
southwards and it is during this time that people begin to pay attention！
In Texas， roads froze over， causing six traffic deaths， and many
schools were shut down.People are not the only Earthlings to struggle with
the cold.Crops and animals are also freezing.This could have major
consequences， especially if herds of cattle die.If snow blocks cattle，
the animals can’t reach basic necessities like food and fresh water.
On a brighter note， some Texas cities were more prepared than
others.For instance， Amarillo， which is located in North Texas， so
they are more accustomed to colder temperatures.Amarillo is outstanding
because the city was redesigned to stand up to strong winter
storms.Officials have spread out fire stations to increase coverage of first
responders， employed modified dump trucks for clearing ice， and
upgraded civic centers to provide protection during storms.Hopefully，
other Texas cities will follow the good example set by Amarillo！

（2025·吉林一中高一上期中）On 26 December 2004， an
earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed
thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.However， wildlife officials
at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths.Yala
National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.
Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense
the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake
hit.Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being
hunted by their natural enemies.It is thought that their senses might also
help them sense the coming disasters.Several countries have done research
on the prediction of earthquakes by animals.There are two theories about
how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.One theory is that animals
sense the earth’s shake.The other is that they can sense changes in the
air.However， so far there has been no strong evidence about how
animals may be able to sense earthquakes.
Other researchers are skeptical （怀疑） about using animals for
earthquake predictions.The United States Geological Survey （USGS）
officially states， “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict
earthquakes.Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal
behaviors before earthquakes， a connection between a specific behavior
and an earthquake has not been made.Because of their fine senses，
animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the
humans.That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was
coming.But animals can also change their behaviors for many other
reasons.If an earthquake can shake millions of people， it is likely that a
few of their pets will， by chance， be acting strangely before the
earthquake.”
Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used
to predict earthquakes， they all agree that it is possible for animals to
sense changes in the environment before humans.Researchers around the
world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors
and earthquakes.It is hoped that these studies will help to predict
earthquakes.

否可以用来预测地震展开论述。

32. What can we know about animals’ senses？（ ）
A. They are not reliable.
B. They can change the environment.
C. They can protect animals in some ways.
D. They can prevent animals acting strangely.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，动物的感官在某些
方面可以保护动物。
√
33. What does the USGS mean？（ ）
A. Animals change behaviors for many reasons.
B. Animal behaviors can predict earthquakes.
C. Animal behaviors are closely related to earthquakes.
D. Our pets can’t sense earthquakes.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的But animals can also change
their behaviors for many other reasons.可知，美国地质调查局的意思是
动物改变行为的原因有很多。
√
34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to scientists’
study？（ ）
A. Disappointed. B. Hopeful.
C. Uninterested. D. Skeptical.
解析： 观点态度题。根据文章末句可知，世界各地的研究人员希
望这些研究将有助于预测地震。由此推断，作者对科学家的研究是充
满希望的。
√
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（ ）
A. How Earthquakes Cause Tsunami
B. Why Animals Change Behaviors
C. Can Animals Predict Earthquakes？
D. What Functions Animals’ Senses Have
解析： 标题归纳题。根据第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知，文
章主要分析了动物是否能够预测地震这个问题。因此，C项（动物能
预测地震吗？）为文章最佳标题。

When I worked as a nurse， I was on day duty while my workmates
were on night duty.On one shift， I sensed something just before going
off duty at 11 a.m.I put down the tray （托盘） on the table and suddenly
it fell off the table.At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over，
but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were
screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening.I quickly caught hold of
a nearby patient， who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a
bed.And then， I got under another bed myself.As soon as the earthquake
stopped， I decided to try and get the patient safely outside.I carried her
out and helped her down to the grassland， where several other people had
gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger， I went back inside
the building again.When I met Lucy， our ward sister （护士长）， I
found her patient couldn’t walk.We made a seat for the patient by linking
our hands and arms， and carried her outside together.We went back
through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward （病
房）.
Just then， we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go
down to other wards with him to help more people.So we went
together.The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially
covered with rubble （碎石），luckily still alive.Suddenly， the
aftershock （余震） struck and the doctor ordered us to leave.The brave
doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
However， without any hesitation， we made up our minds to stay

参考范文：
However， without any hesitation， we made up our minds to stay
with the doctor and save the nurse together.The doctor encouraged the
trapped nurse to stay calm， and in the meanwhile， we focused our
efforts on removing the bricks and the rubble that trapped her
body.However， sometimes we were faced with falling rubble from time
to time， despite which we continued.Gradually and slowly， we lifted
the nurse out of the rubble.The doctor put the nurse on his back and
walked out of the building with the help of us.Finally， all， including
patients， nurses and doctors， were in the safe place.
Later in the afternoon， I had time to look around and saw some
destroyed buildings.My beautiful workplace lay beyond recognition，
even some in ruins.At the sight of this， I felt a weight in my
chest.Suddenly， the gentle wind danced around me， which made me
thought of all the people surviving the earthquake with our help.It was our
teamwork that made a difference.I held the firm belief that some day in the
future my workplace would come back to life and take on a new look，
where we would continue working together to save more patients.

northwest. But tomorrow you’ll see sunshine.”
（Text 2）
W：Father’s Day is on this weekend. Don’t forget to give our dad a
call on Sunday.
M：Oh， thanks for reminding me. I can never remember if I go out with
my classmates that day.
（Text 3）
W：When did you fall into the habit of drinking coffee， in high school or
at college？
M：Neither. I began it after I worked as a secretary here because I had to
work extra hours.
（Text 4）
W：What do you think of the movie we saw last night？
M：I have read the novel about it. Well， to be honest， I don’t think I
will see the movie twice.
（Text 5）
M：Mary， I heard that Sam is forming his own band. What’s the name
of the band？
W：Stay Away from the World. It will be a great success. Sam is very
good at playing the guitar. I know you play the drums well， so you can
join his band.
（Text 6）
W：Let’s take a coffee break， shall we？
M：I wish I could， but I can’t.
W：What keeps you so busy？ You’ve been sitting there for hours.
You’ve got to walk around. You can’t just stay in front of the computer
forever.
M： Well， I’m really very busy with my work. I’ve got to finish this
report. Mr Smith needs it by noon. I don’t want to be punished for not
finishing my work on time.
W：I understand that， but you’d feel better if you took a break， even
for just a short while.
（Text 7）
M：Why am I being charged 10 dollars for a movie that I never ordered？
W：Sir， according to the information on the computer， you spent
Monday evening watching the movie Fantastic Beasts： The Crimes of
Grindelwald.
M：Well， it is wrong. I was at a great concert that night.
W：Well， this wouldn’t be the first time that the information is wrong.
Just a moment， please. Sir， you shouldn’t be charged 10 dollars. But
you have to pay $2 for checking it.
M：You can’t do that！ You can’t charge me for a mistake that you
made！
W：I’m terribly sorry， sir. But that’s the rule.
（Text 8）
W：Because of all the earthquakes and fires， people living in California
like me are crazy.
M：That’s it， but big earthquakes happen only once in a while.
W：That is already too many. A big earthquake is a terrible disaster for
the locals.
M：You’re right. There have indeed happened a lot of fires.
W：A recent fire destroyed 85 houses， killing 11 people and leaving
more than 200 homeless.
M：Still， it’s safer than Florida and Texas.
W：Florida doesn’t have earthquakes and has less fires.
M：But Florida just has hurricanes every year from June to October.
W：But most of those hurricanes are harmless.
M：Excuse me. Hurricane Andrew destroyed 30，000 houses！
（Text 9）

a good time in Guizhou？
M：Yes， I did. It was everything I expected， and more. How about
you？ Did you go anywhere？
W：Yes， as a matter of fact I did. I spent a week in Shanghai trying to
get a job there.
M：Shanghai is such a wonderful city！ You’ll really enjoy living there.
W：I’m not so sure. Shanghai has a lot going for it， but I like Beijing
too.
M：What do you like best about Shanghai？
W：Shanghai is the business center of China， so there are lots of jobs，
and there’s always something new. It’s more modern than Beijing and
generally a convenient place to live.
M：Why would you want to stay in Beijing？
W：For one thing， Beijing has a sense of history. You know， there’s
no Great Wall in Shanghai！
M：That’s for sure. There’s no Forbidden City or Summer Palace，
either.
W：For another thing， I think people are very friendly in Beijing.
M：Yes， I can’t agree more. People from Beijing are really friendly！
W：But I’ve heard that men from Shanghai will help their wives with
housework. That’s the very quality I admire！
（Text 10）
I like to do sports and play video games in my free time.
Sometimes， I play video games by myself. I also invite friends over to
play. I really like games that deal with sports， role-playing，
adventure， but I don’t buy all games since I know that certain types of
games are not suitable for children. Playing video games helps me reduce
stress and kill some time， but it also can be addictive. A lot of people are
concerned that people waste too much time playing games and do not get
enough exercise because they sit in front of a computer or TV too much.
Also， some people say that children as well as adults tend to shut
themselves away and fail to develop relationships with others. I think if
you control how much you play them — I mean， not playing them too
much — then playing video games isn’t a bad way to spend some of your
time.

（2025·三明两校协作高一上期中）For the past few years， I’ve
taken my vacation in the spring.One April I planned to visit a friend in
Nepal who had lived in the country for over 15 years.
I flew into Kathmandu and spent a week visiting sites， and on
Friday， 24 April 2015， we went to Lukla， a mountain town to the
northeast.My friend had worked there before.We visited a nearby village
on Saturday.We were served a delicious pancake and endless cups of milk
tea； villagers made small talk and caught up with each other.After a
couple of hours， my friend and I made a polite exit （离去） for a coffee
break across the dirt path to our lodging， a house he had lived in while
working in Lukla years ago.
As we sat in the kitchen taking a rest， I wondered why it felt like an
underground was running under the village.As the sound started to
shake， I looked out of the window at the passers-by and thought it felt
like a truck was driving by — impossible in this village.I looked at my
friend and he said off-handedly：“It’s an earthquake.” Before I could
ask questions， he began shouting to get out of the house.By the time I
was running down the dirt path， I couldn’t run straight.
Away from buildings， we lowered our bodies near a low wall， and
unbelievably before our eyes， walls and buildings fell.In front of us the
end wall of the house we slept in collapsed （倒塌）， the stones
dislodging （移开） and falling to the ground.In a matter of seconds，
every house in the village was damaged with walls either seriously
cracked， or partially or completely damaged.
In the days and weeks that followed we checked in with friends and
shared stories of where we were and what we were doing.The event was
so wide-reaching that it was difficult to understand except through personal
stories.

（2025·重庆长寿中学高一上月考）As a shift in the polar vortex
（极地涡旋） swept across much of the US， many people in the country
were hit with a sudden snap of cold.Heavy ice and snow coupled with
fallen trees caused the outages in major cities， with companies unable to
tell their customers when power will be back on.
Polar vortices were noticed long ago.But the first known use of the
term “polar vortex” was in a magazine in 1853.Polar vortices are
present year-round， but we don’t hear about them until they cause
problems.They maintain freezing temperatures at the North and South
poles by moving in tight counter-clockwise （逆时针方向）
patterns.Polar vortices grow stronger in winter and weaken in
summer.They are kept in place at the poles by another atmospheric current
（大气流） called the jet stream （急流）.However， when the jet
streams weaken， the cold winds of the polar vortex are pushed
southwards and it is during this time that people begin to pay attention！
In Texas， roads froze over， causing six traffic deaths， and many
schools were shut down.People are not the only Earthlings to struggle with
the cold.Crops and animals are also freezing.This could have major
consequences， especially if herds of cattle die.If snow blocks cattle，
the animals can’t reach basic necessities like food and fresh water.
On a brighter note， some Texas cities were more prepared than
others.For instance， Amarillo， which is located in North Texas， so
they are more accustomed to colder temperatures.Amarillo is outstanding
because the city was redesigned to stand up to strong winter
storms.Officials have spread out fire stations to increase coverage of first
responders， employed modified dump trucks for clearing ice， and
upgraded civic centers to provide protection during storms.Hopefully，
other Texas cities will follow the good example set by Amarillo！

28. What does the underlined word “outages” in paragraph 1 refer to？
（ ）
A. Traffic jams. B. Snow removal.
C. Power cuts. D. Traffic accidents.

电”，和C项意思相近。
√
29. What can we learn about polar vortices？（ ）
A. They grow stronger in summer.
B. They are affected by jet streams.
C. They were first observed in 1853.
D. They move in a clockwise direction.

流的影响。
√
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about？（ ）
A. The definition of the polar vortex.
B. The characteristics of the polar vortex.
C. The ways to deal with the polar vortex.
D. The serious impact made by the polar vortex.

31. Why is Amarillo impressive？（ ）

（2025·吉林一中高一上期中）On 26 December 2004， an
earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed
thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.However， wildlife officials
at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths.Yala
National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.
Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense
the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake
hit.Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being
hunted by their natural enemies.It is thought that their senses might also
help them sense the coming disasters.Several countries have done research
on the prediction of earthquakes by animals.There are two theories about
how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.One theory is that animals
sense the earth’s shake.The other is that they can sense changes in the
air.However， so far there has been no strong evidence about how
animals may be able to sense earthquakes.
Other researchers are skeptical （怀疑） about using animals for
earthquake predictions.The United States Geological Survey （USGS）
officially states， “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict
earthquakes.Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal
behaviors before earthquakes， a connection between a specific behavior
and an earthquake has not been made.Because of their fine senses，
animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the
humans.That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was
coming.But animals can also change their behaviors for many other
reasons.If an earthquake can shake millions of people， it is likely that a
few of their pets will， by chance， be acting strangely before the
earthquake.”
Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used
to predict earthquakes， they all agree that it is possible for animals to
sense changes in the environment before humans.Researchers around the
world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors
and earthquakes.It is hoped that these studies will help to predict
earthquakes.

were on night duty.On one shift， I sensed something just before going
off duty at 11 a.m.I put down the tray （托盘） on the table and suddenly
it fell off the table.At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over，
but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were
screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening.I quickly caught hold of
a nearby patient， who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a
bed.And then， I got under another bed myself.As soon as the earthquake
stopped， I decided to try and get the patient safely outside.I carried her
out and helped her down to the grassland， where several other people had
gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger， I went back inside
the building again.When I met Lucy， our ward sister （护士长）， I
found her patient couldn’t walk.We made a seat for the patient by linking
our hands and arms， and carried her outside together.We went back
through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward （病
房）.
Just then， we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go
down to other wards with him to help more people.So we went
together.The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially
covered with rubble （碎石），luckily still alive.Suddenly， the
aftershock （余震） struck and the doctor ordered us to leave.The brave
doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

However， without any hesitation， we made up our minds to stay
with the doctor and save the nurse together.The doctor encouraged the
trapped nurse to stay calm， and in the meanwhile， we focused our
efforts on removing the bricks and the rubble that trapped her
body.However， sometimes we were faced with falling rubble from time
to time， despite which we continued.Gradually and slowly， we lifted
the nurse out of the rubble.The doctor put the nurse on his back and
walked out of the building with the help of us.Finally， all， including
patients， nurses and doctors， were in the safe place.
Later in the afternoon， I had time to look around and saw some
destroyed buildings.My beautiful workplace lay beyond recognition，
even some in ruins.At the sight of this， I felt a weight in my
chest.Suddenly， the gentle wind danced around me， which made me
thought of all the people surviving the earthquake with our help.It was our
teamwork that made a difference.I held the firm belief that some day in the
future my workplace would come back to life and take on a new look，
where we would continue working together to save more patients.
